To be honest, the people who came to obstruct him, even if it was for their own interests, were actually doing so under the pretense of considering the nation. Therefore, Lian Yun granted them time to leave.
After a while, regardless of whether anyone remained, Lian Yun nodded at Xiao Jun and stepped into Northeast City. He first cleared out some High-Level Monarch Evil Spirits inside before making his way to the central area.
Unexpected yet somewhat expected, there were actually two Half-Emperor Evil Spirits attacking—one was a Dragonfly Demon and the other a Butterfly Demon, both of which were Flying Demons.
Lian Yun had considered that there might be two Demigod Level Evil Spirits within an Evil Spirit City, but he never anticipated that both would be Flying Demons.
Upon seeing the Dragonfly Demon with wings spanning two to three hundred meters, Lian Yun's expression turned grave. The Dragonfly Demon was known for its speed, making it nearly invincible among its peers.
The appearance of the Butterfly Demon made Lian Yun feel an urge to retreat.
However, retreating was not an option for Lian Yun; it was already too late. As soon as he spotted the Dragonfly Demon, its attack was already upon him.
It moved as if teleporting from a distance to right in front of him. Its two pairs of wings, thin as silk, sliced through the air like blades, accompanied by a spatial wave attack.
The Dragonfly Demon's assault was incredibly swift—so fast that Lian Yun couldn't evade its attack range. Thus, he could only dodge to the front of its head.
Although Lian Yun was pushed back repeatedly, there was a slight relief in that the Dragonfly's teeth were located at the very bottom of its head. Consequently, he was directly thrust out of Evil Spirit City. Despite being pinned against the Dragonfly's head by a tremendous force, he felt as though his internal organs had been shattered.
Blood flowed uncontrollably from his mouth, yet Lian Yun's hands clung tightly to the Dragonfly's head.
He couldn't let go of this Dragonfly Demon; otherwise, its next attack would be fatal. Moreover, if it chose not to attack him and instead returned to Northeast City, he wouldn't be able to catch up due to its speed. This would leave Xiao Jun, still within Northeast City, vulnerable to attacks from both Half-Emperor Evil Spirits.
At that point, Xiao Jun would undoubtedly perish.
This was the most dangerous situation they had faced together since they had known each other and collaborated so many times.
In the blink of an eye, Lian Yun had traveled over ten miles outside the city, while numerous spectators lingered around the area.
They had initially hoped to witness a grand battle and gain some experience. However, before they could notice any unusual activity in the sky above Northeast City, they suddenly spotted a massive Dragonfly, its wings spanning two to three hundred meters, hovering overhead. To their astonishment, there was a person on its head.
The Evil Ghost Dragonfly seemed to freeze in mid-air, and Lian Yun felt as if he was being thrown off completely, as if he were about to be flung dozens of miles away. Yet, he gripped tightly with both hands, causing his feet to leave the surface momentarily before his entire body swung around, landing heavily between the two enormous compound eyes of the Evil Ghost Dragonfly.
He was essentially riding atop the Evil Ghost Dragonfly's head.
However, the Keen Observer could tell at a glance that Lian Yun was at a disadvantage and in a life-threatening situation. Almost everyone else didn’t think too much about it; the sudden appearance of the Evil Ghost Dragonfly had sent them fleeing in terror.
It was like a celestial battle where mortals suffered; all they could do was run as far as possible without daring to entertain any other thoughts.
The Evil Ghost Dragonfly, with Lian Yun on its head, went into a frenzy. It flailed wildly, crashing into everything around it. Its wings crushed those who couldn’t escape in time, while the force of its wind sent others flying or sliced some in half with razor-sharp gusts, leaving them uncertain of their fate.
Lian Yun had little concern for this chaos; he had already ensured that those people had fled. If they chose to stay behind, they would have to bear the consequences. Besides, even if Lian Yun wanted to help now, he was powerless.
To secure himself on the Dragonfly Demon’s head, he had exhausted all his strength and was mentally preparing for how he and Xiao Jun could cooperate if the Evil Ghost Dragonfly suddenly returned to Northeast City’s center. They needed to find a way to mitigate the crisis and gain an advantage.
In less than three breaths' time, the rampaging Evil Ghost Dragonfly affected thousands of people before it turned back toward Northeast City. It seemed intent on seeking assistance from the Butterfly Demon. After all, even ordinary Evil Ghost Dragonflies released dust that could confuse minds; what more could be said for a Demigod Level Evil Ghost Dragonfly?
As soon as Lian Yun sensed that the Evil Ghost Dragonfly was returning to the city, he shouted loudly, “Sword coming~~”
This wasn’t a call for him to use any Earth Power; it was merely a reminder for Xiao Jun to adapt quickly or to snap him out of any daze he might be in.
In another blink of an eye, they arrived at Northeast City’s center. Xiao Jun embodied the sword itself, enveloped in a layer of sword energy as he flew toward them. Before even getting close, his sword energy burst forth from him, shattering into countless light points that shot toward the two enormous compound eyes of the Evil Ghost Dragonfly. Some of those light points also struck Lian Yun.
It was an indiscriminate attack.
However, the effect was remarkable. It first affected the Evil Ghost Dragonfly's vision and slightly slowed it down. With this opportunity, Xiao Jun leaped upward, narrowly avoiding the head of the Evil Ghost Dragonfly.
Although Lian Yun had sustained some injuries from Xiao Jun's attack, with several holes in his body, he showed no fear of pain. With one hand exerting more force, he reached out with the other to grab Xiao Jun and pull him behind him. "Cut its wings."
Only by severing the wings of the Evil Ghost Dragonfly could they truly slow it down and have a chance at victory.
At first, Xiao Jun's mental state was somewhat hazy. If it weren't for that, given his control over spiritual energy, he wouldn't have attacked Lian Yun just now. However, the urgency of the situation left no room for hesitation; a moment's delay could mean death for both him and Lian Yun.
After a brief moment of calming down, Xiao Jun wasted no time. He wrapped one arm around Lian Yun's waist while drawing back his other hand, gathering sword energy between his fingers—One Sword of Annihilation—aiming for the base of one wing.
Over the past month, his swordsmanship had improved dramatically. Not only had he gained insights into Earth Power, but he also had a profound understanding of his own sword path. With this strike, he successfully severed the wing of the Dragonfly Demon.
Xiao Jun intended to follow up with another attack, but the Evil Ghost Dragonfly lost its balance as soon as it lost one wing. It didn't flail wildly; instead, it spun rapidly.
A powerful outward rotational force instantly sent both Lian Yun and Xiao Jun flying away. In Lian Yun's hands were two pieces of skin from the Evil Ghost Dragonfly.
As soon as they distanced themselves from the head of the Evil Ghost Dragonfly, they hurried to pursue it. If the Evil Ghost Dragonfly had regenerative abilities, their efforts would be in vain. However, if they could kill it, then the remaining Evil Ghost Dragonflies would pose little threat.
