With a series of palm strikes, dazzling lightning erupted from the flying artifact!
In an instant, their speed increased by several tenths, and where they passed, even the void fluctuated!
Under such speed, the two gradually widened the distance between themselves and the white-haired middle-aged man behind them!
"Senior, can you hold on?"
Ji Yuan turned his head and said with a solemn expression, "Once we reach the county town, we'll be safe!"
This was, after all, not Chongyuan Prefecture, nor was it Qishan Commandery.
Even if the cultivators of the Divine Profound Sect were more reckless, they would not dare to act arbitrarily within the county town of Luoxia Commandery.
Not to mention the influence of the Qian family, and even the Zhuang family, which was enough to make the other party wary and hesitant to act.
Moreover, if necessary, he could enlist the help of the Mingjian Division, or even the power of the County Governor's Mansion.
Although he couldn't keep the Divine Profound Sect members, driving them away wouldn't be too much of a problem.
"It's a bit difficult!"
However, Elder Hong Tian did not hold much hope for this.
The reason was simple: in his current state, he couldn't sustain it for long.
Furthermore, the white-haired middle-aged man behind them was not particularly slow, and the distance between the two sides was slowly closing.
As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Yuan's heart sank.
Sensing the powerful aura behind him, he did not hesitate to abandon the idea of turning back to intercept.
Although he considered himself to be quite strong, even capable of fighting against ordinary cultivators in the late third stage.
However, the white-haired middle-aged man from the Divine Profound Sect was clearly not someone he could contend with.
"If this continues, we'll never make it to the county town!"
In less than fifteen minutes, Ji Yuan's expression became increasingly grave.
The distance between them and the white-haired middle-aged man behind them was now less than two to three li.
If this continued, they would be caught by the other party before reaching the county town of Luoxia Commandery.
Upon this thought, he couldn't help but entertain the idea of killing the opponent, wanting to join forces to kill him while the other Divine Profound Sect members were not present.
However, as soon as this thought arose, it was quickly dismissed.
Although the white-haired middle-aged man was alone, he and Elder Hong Tian, who was not at his peak, would still not be able to kill him in a short time.
"I'll risk it!"
After more than ten breaths, Ji Yuan made up his mind.
If this continued, being caught was only a matter of time, and at that point, they would definitely not be able to reach the county town.
He transferred the control of the flying artifact to Elder Hong Tian at the fastest speed.
Then, under the other party's heavy gaze, he stepped out of the artifact.
Facing the howling wind, Ji Yuan did not activate his magic power to resist, allowing himself to be swept backward.
At the same time, he formed sword seals with both hands, and sword light erupted from his body.
Abundant sword intent flowed through his entire body, and he instantly transformed into a dazzling sword light, which then broke through the air and flew away.
In just over ten breaths, the distance between Ji Yuan and the white-haired middle-aged man was only about half a li.
"Seeking death!"
Seeing a cultivator who was only in the early third stage dare to charge directly at him.
A cold sneer appeared on the white-haired middle-aged man's face.
His speed did not decrease, and he casually swung the ice crystal long sword in his hand.
In an instant, an area of dozens of feet was filled with extreme cold, and even the void seemed to be covered in frost.
A dreamy, hazy sword light flashed out, instantly slicing through the void, and in a few flashes, it appeared half a li away.
Seeing this, Ji Yuan immediately emerged from the sword light, and his right hand had already grasped the long sword behind his back.
Clang!!!
The gleaming sword body was drawn from its sheath, and brilliant sword light instantly illuminated the surroundings!
Sharpness erupted at this moment, and countless sword lights intertwined, stirring the spiritual energy within a radius of twenty to thirty feet.
"Slash!"
Ji Yuan took a deep breath and then roared loudly!
His internal magic power was poured into the long sword continuously, and several formations immediately appeared on it.
Although they were only three or four layers of acquired formations, the power they unleashed at this moment was comparable to about seven or eight layers of innate formations.
The next moment, with a '噗' sound, the extreme cold energy between heaven and earth was instantly split in two!
The dreamy, hazy sword light was also annihilated silently!
Seeing this, the white-haired middle-aged man's eyes narrowed, but before he could react, countless sword lights had already broken through the air and struck!
"Hmph!"
He let out a snort, and torrents of cold air surged from within him.
He formed several hand seals with his left hand, and the surrounding surging extreme cold energy immediately converged into a series of ice crystal round shields.
With just a thought, several ice crystal round shields flew out, blocking in front of the white-haired middle-aged man, deflecting all the sword qi that broke through the air!
Bang bang bang bang bang!!
Countless sword qi instantly collapsed, unable to damage the ice crystal round shields in the slightest!
And when all the sword qi dissipated, the ice crystal round shields shattered on the spot and then turned into countless ice shards that shot out into the air!
However, at the same moment, the white-haired middle-aged man discovered that the figure of the young Taoist priest had disappeared from dozens of feet away.
He quickly released his divine sense, but found no trace of it.
The other party seemed to have vanished into thin air!
"Playing tricks!"
The white-haired middle-aged man snorted coldly. With a slight movement of his mind, the extreme cold energy within dozens of feet instantly became several times denser.
Although it was still the height of summer, it was now like extreme cold with heavy snow, and even frost and snowflakes were falling from the sky.
At this moment, even the void was affected by the extreme cold, showing signs of being frozen.
"Let's see how you can dodge now!"
His expression changed, and his gaze and divine sense fell on his side.
In that area of the void, affected by the extreme cold, a blurry outline had already appeared.
A sigh came from the void, followed by Ji Yuan's figure emerging from it.
His expression looked somewhat helpless, but he hadn't expected the other party to use such a method to break his evasion technique.
The next breath, Ji Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he quickly dodged to the side.
In an instant, snowflakes fluttered by, and he had almost cut through the void!
He looked around and saw that countless snowflakes in the world were drifting without wind.
Under the enhancement of the extreme cold energy, each snowflake, though only the size of a fingernail, was already more solid than metal.
And its edges were far sharper than ordinary sword edges!
Countless snowflakes danced, giving the impression of wanting to 'carve him into a thousand pieces'.
Seeing this, Ji Yuan's brow furrowed, and his long sword instantly turned into streaks of afterimages.
Streaks of brilliant sword light erupted, flying out in all directions.
Wherever the sword light swept, all the snowflakes melted, and the extreme cold energy was torn apart.
After more than ten breaths, the sword light slowly dispersed, and seventy to eighty percent of the snowflakes in the world had melted.
"You have some skill, but it's not enough!"
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind Ji Yuan.
He didn't even have time to turn around, so he could only quickly move his mind, and the Xuan Tian Shi Ling Pagoda within his body immediately appeared.
