Chapter 432 - Desperate

It looked like the sun and the moon were sharing the same sky, and the scorching air waves dispersed all the clouds over hundreds of miles. Just taking a breath made one's throat burn.

Yun Jiujiu covered her forehead with her hands as she squinted at the blazing flames that suddenly exploded above her head, cursing. "What the hell?!"

Xue Tianqiao, who was in her arms, narrowed her eyes as if she sensed something was wrong and scurried under Yun Jiujiu's collar with a squeal. "Yiip..."

"Hey? Where are you hiding?!"

Feng Yu Die, who was sitting behind her, retracted her Spring Phase energy, which had restored the sanity of the Justice Division disciples on the three flying boats. She sensed the spiritual energy in the sky that should belong to a Nascent Soul cultivator and immediately shouted. "Xiao Tian!"

Yun Jiujiu, who was tugging at her collar, suddenly looked back, puzzled. "What the hell is Xiao Tian?!"

Feng Yu Die didn't know what the fiery body in the sky was, but Ye Anping had mentioned it in the treasure bag he had given her:

---If Fu Yuanhua uses her true energy to activate the Yama Seven Forms Array, use your Spring Phase energy to break the formation.

---The Spring Phase in your aura, which nurtures all living things, and the death phase in the Yama Seven Forms, which takes away vitality, are at the opposite ends of yin and yang. Once they collide, the yin and yang, which can not be unified, will merge into one chaotic energy phenomenon.

---At that time, ask Xiao Tian to use the spiritual energy of the Holy Emperor Dragon Body to protect everyone around.

"Got it!!"

Xiao Tian clapped her hands together above Feng Yu Die's head with an ethereal sound, and then made sword fingers with her hands, twisted them, and swung them on both sides.

Golden spiritual energy spread out from the top of Feng Yu Die's forehead, forming a huge net that enveloped the three immortal ships speeding forward.

Sound and heat waves arrived almost simultaneously.

Rumble...

The Justice Division disciples who had just recovered from the Yama Seven Forms didn't even have time to react before they were knocked over by the violent shaking of the immortal boat. Several of them were even thrown over the deck railing.

The condensed golden spiritual energy net had no physical form. The disciples who fell off the immortal boat were instantly ignited by the chaotic energy and turned into ashes without even a scream.

Feng Yu Die clenched her teeth, muttering under her breath. "If Master Ye were here..."

Just as she was thinking about what to do next...

Swoosh---

A black sword light flashed across the sky.

The cold night, which was reversed to daytime due to the chaotic energy, returned to the silence of night again in an instant.

The blazing fireball in the sky seemed to have been shattered by this sword force, instantly disappearing without a trace.

The heat wave that hit the golden net also stopped, allowing everyone in the immortal boat to see the road ahead again...

"Shit!!"

Yun Jiujiu's shout snapped Feng Yu Die back from her thoughts. She looked forward and saw that the flying ship they were riding on was rapidly crashing into an isolated rock pillar that was nearly a thousand feet tall.

"Yu Die!!"

"Where's the helmsman? Turn the rudder!"

Yun Jiujiu widened her eyes and roared at the disciples who were controlling the direction of the flying ship.

However, the disciples who were at the helm seemed to have died under the swords of their fellow disciples caught in Fu Yuanhua's spell, and the flying boat showed no sign of changing course.

Many of the Justice Division disciples in the Core Formation stage tried to use their spiritual power to change the flying boat's direction. Yun Jiujiu even picked up her giant sword and rushed toward the sky-high rock pillar that was blocking the road ahead, as if she wanted to split it directly by force.

Feng Yu Die also hurriedly called out. "Old Dragon!!"

But it was too late...

Boom--!!

With a loud reverberating noise, their flying ship crashed into the rock pillar.

The hundred-foot-long divine flying boat was compressed into wood dregs, mixed with the broken rock pieces of the thousand-foot-long rock pillar, and scattered like fireworks...

...

"Hah---!"

A loud shout rang out.

After Fu Yuanhua split the blazing sun that exploded due to the destruction of her spiritual treasure, she was now in tatters, with black burns on her face and body.

She gritted her teeth and exhaled a black mist while looking at the three immortal ships protected by a golden net, her eyes extremely alert.

There was actually an immortal cultivator with the spirit of Spring Phase on one of these three immortal ships?!

If she had known there was such a person, she would never have used her hidden Yama Seven Forms Furnace, which was a Nascent Soul stage spiritual treasure that had helped her survive countless life-threatening situations.

In the end, not only did it explode, but it almost dragged in the hundreds of Ghost Spirit Sect disciples she borrowed from Patriarch Ghost...

Fu Yuanhua suddenly remembered Gu Mingxin and He Jiming, who were beside her just now. She hurriedly turned around to look for them.

The Ghost Spirit Sect disciples who were originally neatly lined up on their flying swords were also blown away by that blazing sun.

She glanced around and saw that at least thirty Core Formation cultivators had disappeared. They must have been turned into ashes in the heat wave just now.

Fu Yuanhua sighed in relief as she saw Gu Mingxin shielding herself and He Jiming with spiritual energy a hundred feet below her.

"Whew..."

Gu Mingxin removed the blood-colored spiritual shield in front of her, glanced at He Jiming, who was terrified and at a loss, and said coldly, "He Jiming, you owe me your life."

Then, she headed toward Fu Yuanhua.

Yun Jiujiu, who was sweating profusely, suddenly felt relieved. She looked back, and seeing that Feng Yu Die had woken up, it was as if she had seen a savior. She shouted excitedly. "You're finally awake, you idiot!! It's been three hours!!! Hurry up and find a way to finish those demonic cultivators!! If it goes on like this, when that Nascent Soul cultivator comes back, we'll all die here!"

Boom--!!

The violent explosion was close at hand, and even with the spiritual shield, one could still feel the pressure.

When Feng Yu Die saw the surrounding disciples of the Justice Division, covered in wounds, all looking at her with expectant eyes, she felt as if she was carrying a thousand-pound weight on her shoulders.

She was actually at a loss for what to do...

Feng Yu Die looked at Xiao Tian and conveyed with her eyes. Call Old Dragon out!

"Yu Die, the dragon can't come out. I have already distributed spiritual energy to these people before, otherwise, Miss Yun couldn't hold on for that long. Those demonic cultivators don't fight head-on, it seems that they just want to wear us out and wait for that Nascent Soul cultivator to come back..."

"..."

Then let's just hold on until Master Ye comes...

Just like before, as long as Young Master Ye arrived, he would be able to solve any problem...

Feng Yu Die thought so subconsciously and tightened the sword in her hand. However, Xiao Tian roughly saw through her thoughts, and after hesitating for a while, she told the truth. "Yu Die, Anping... Anping won't come this time! He doesn't know!"

"..."

Feng Yu Die's eyes widened slightly, and the slight hope instantly turned into despair.

The fire spell exploded within arm's reach, and Yun Jiujiu staggered and almost fell to her knees. "Feng Yu Die, what are you doing standing there?! Do something, I can't hold on any longer! Ah---!"

Feng Yu Die bit her lips tightly and remembered the treasure bag Ye Anping gave her before she set off. She quickly reached into the storage bag to search for it, but she was too nervous and her hand slipped, causing dozens of small treasure bags to fall and scatter at her feet.

"Ah?!"

She hurriedly knelt on the ground and started picking up those pouches one by one.

When the disciples of the Justice Division saw her in such a sorry state, their expectant eyes gradually dimmed.

At this moment, she was just a hair's breadth away from collapsing. Yun Jiujiu saw this humiliating appearance of hers and hurriedly drew the crowd's attention back to her, raising her voice.

"I'm the Second Young Miss of the Sword Sect! Listen to me, let's hold on this wave, then follow me out! All of you are disciples of the Imperial Sect's Justice Division! The Justice Division has been stationed at the Eastern Great Wall which has not been breached for a thousand years. These dozens of Core Formation demonic cultivators are nothing!"

"..."

"Well?! I'm talking to you!!"

Yun Jiujiu frowned slightly. She felt that it was because she was too short that these disciples of the Justice Division did not listen to her. She decided to take the lead and fight until shattering her core, just like when she rescued Yun Yiyi in the Sword Sect.

She owed her life to Feng Yu Die, so now it was time to return it to her.

At this time, Feng Yu Die who was rummaging through the brocade pouches in front of her suddenly paused in her movements.

Among the nearly forty bags that Ye Anping gave her, there was one with the words "Desperate" embroidered on the surface. Feng Yu Die tore it open as if she had found a treasure and took out the note inside.

It read:

---"Feng Yu Die, you are the destiny of the world, the Heavenly Pivot. Don't rely too much on me, the Reverse Star. I can help you for a while, but not for the rest of your life."

"..."

Feng Yu Die stared blankly at the words on the note. Then, she noticed that there were more words on the back and quickly turned it over to look.

---"If you survive Gu Mingxin and Fu Yuanhua, I will let my sister kiss you."

"..."

Boom---!!

After a flame bigger than the previous one exploded, the spells of the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples came to an abrupt end.

Yun Jiujiu took a deep breath and ordered. "Close the formation! Follow me!"

Feng Yu Die directly interrupted. "Jiujiu!! Throw me over with all your strength!"

"Huh?!"

Yun Jiujiu froze for a moment and turned back to ask Feng Yu Die what she was up to, but after watching her snatch two more swords from the two disciples at her side, she understood.

"Don't die!!"

With that, she grabbed Feng Yu Die's wrist and took a deep breath. Several veins popped out on her forehead as she stomped on the sandstone with her feet and spun in circles.

"Hah ah ah ah--!!"

The moment she was released, Feng Yu Die gritted her teeth and swung the sword with all her strength.

Swoosh---

The sound of the sword echoed through the desert like an eagle's cry.

Two miles away, the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples flying on their swords saw a flash of white light under the curtain of rain. Before they could see the scene clearly, they felt a suffocating energy pressure!

Bright cold light swept across the necks of several demonic cultivators in an instant.

Feng Yu Die charged into the formation alone. She looked around and realized that the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples were already looking at her. Frowning slightly, she used the Nine Heavens Sword Technique to create waves of scattered light.

Yun Jiujiu took a deep breath. From where she stood, the sword light that Feng Yu Die drew among the demonic cultivators seemed as tiny as stars.

No matter how talented she was, rushing into the midst of nearly a hundred cultivators of the same level alone was nothing more than a moth rushing into the flame.

However, these star-sized sword lights turned into sparks in the eyes of the remaining thirty-two disciples of the Justice Division who had previously lost their will to fight.

Yun Jiujiu took a deep breath. "Follow me!!!"
