A shadow that enveloped the heavens and earth appeared, and the moment it did, Xiao Fei felt a great crisis. This was at least the aura of another Nascent Soul stage demon.
The gaunt cultivator who had been begging for mercy moments ago became arrogant again.
"Hehehe... Divine Doctor Xiao, aren't you very arrogant? You're dead for sure this time! Hahaha..."
Just then, this gaunt evil cultivator suddenly felt a piercing pain in his heart, a sharp agony originating from the depths of his soul.
"Ah... What's happening? What did you do to me?"
In just a moment, the gaunt cultivator, a dignified Golden Core expert, was now lying on the ground, writhing in pain.
"Ah... It hurts so much..."
Then, this fellow truly died, his soul dissipating, his life force extinguished.
As a cultivator who had been treated by Xiao Fei, it would be abnormal if he didn't do something with the opportunity to send his lightning spirit deep into the other's soul.
He never thought of ruling the world, nor did he usually use such means to threaten others. But if someone he had saved, and who then ungratefully turned against him, it was simply courting death, and he couldn't be blamed.
After he used his methods to kill this evil cultivator, the surrounding shadows grew thicker, and a large amount of true demonic energy permeated the area.
Xiao Fei, immersed within, felt a bone-chilling cold, and an icy force began to assault his soul, making him feel drowsy.
"Escape!"
Xiao Fei had no intention of fighting a Nascent Soul expert for three hundred rounds. He released Fei Yu from his spatial dimension and leaped onto its back.
Fei Yu also sensed the immense danger and flew forward without hesitation. In just a few breaths, it had flown far from the desolate plains.
However, the feeling of being invaded by the icy chill in Xiao Fei's soul did not dissipate; instead, it intensified.
He could even feel something trying to burrow into his body.
"You can't escape! No one can escape from my shadow."
A consciousness emanated from the massive black shadow. Though it had no voice, it directly transmitted this message to the souls of Xiao Fei and Fei Yu.
"What the hell is this thing, looking down on me, Fei Yu the Great!"
Fei Yu, as an ancient exotic species, though still in its immature and ignorant stage, possessed an innate pride from its very bones.
At this moment, a faint azure light shimmered on its scales, temporarily warding off the invasion of the icy force.
Fei Yu's speed increased, and Xiao Fei, with his experience, quickly prostrated himself on the fish's back, tightly embracing its body.
Suddenly, a sonic boom echoed as Fei Yu broke through a sound barrier, exceeding the speed of sound.
Xiao Fei had already circulated the "Golden Arhat Body Technique" and held onto Fei Yu's body tightly. Even so, his hair was almost blown away.
He would need to find a way to install a seatbelt or something similar on Fei Yu's back in the future.
At this moment, the feeling of invasion in his soul was finally shaken off.
Looking back, he saw a mass of black shadow in the distance, desperately chasing after them, now being left further and further behind by Fei Yu.
Just as they were about to completely shake off their pursuer, Fei Yu suddenly faltered. Maintaining such speed consumed too much energy, and it couldn't last long.
Fei Yu was panting weakly, its speed no longer as fast as before.
"Master, I can't go on!"
Xiao Fei glanced at the pursuing black shadow, which was getting closer and closer. He made a decisive move, retracting Fei Yu into his spatial dimension.
There were 34 times the flow of time inside, allowing Fei Yu to recover faster.
After storing Fei Yu, Xiao Fei himself transformed into a streak of rainbow light and flew forward.
No matter what, he had to persist until Fei Yu recovered its strength.
As long as Fei Yu could use its flight skill a few times, it should be enough to reach the Cuihua Mountain Range.
With the protection of the sect's ancestor there, that demon wouldn't dare to chase him into the sect to kill him.
He now understood that the crisis at the Treasure Pavilion this time was a conspiracy specifically targeting him.
The few remaining members of the demon race had always regarded him as a thorn in their side, an obstacle they had to eliminate.
Only by eliminating Xiao Fei could the demons spread their demonic seeds throughout the land, develop secretly among humanity, and eventually conquer this world.
This time, the demons had deliberately lured him out so they could kill him easily.
Xiao Fei identified the direction and quickly flew towards the Cuihua Mountain Range.
Unfortunately, the terrain here was monotonous, and he was not familiar with the area. Otherwise, he might have been able to use the Five Elements Evasion technique to delay them.
The Five Elements Evasion technique was primarily for stealthy flight in various environments; its actual speed was still slower than his forward flight.
When the black shadow was only a mile or two away, Xiao Fei had no choice but to pull Fei Yu out of his spatial dimension and have it continue carrying him.
Earlier, to help Fei Yu recover quickly in the spatial dimension, Xiao Fei had let it drink from a pile of spiritual wine to replenish its mana.
At this moment, Fei Yu, pulled out by Xiao Fei, reeked of alcohol, its eyes wide and red.
"You damned thing, chasing after me, Fei Yu the Great, are you looking for death!"
This was Fei Yu's first time drinking, and it had drunk so much. It was a bit overwhelmed by the alcohol. With the intoxicating fumes rising, it let out a roar and prepared to charge back and fight the black shadow.
Xiao Fei shivered in fright and quickly pulled it back.
"If Master wasn't holding me back, with my temper, I would have definitely swallowed you whole."
Fei Yu, with its head turned by Xiao Fei, continued to curse and grumble, looking very unconvinced.
However, it flew without any hesitation, and soon there was a sonic boom as it surpassed the speed of sound and flew forward.
When Fei Yu's energy was depleted again, its drunkenness had completely worn off. Seeing the black shadow behind it, it trembled with fear and quickly hid in Xiao Fei's spatial dimension, going to drink spiritual wine again.
For the next stretch of the journey, Xiao Fei used Fei Yu's flight skill several times to shake off the black shadow.
It was a pity that Fei Yu's endurance was too short; otherwise, they would have escaped long ago. Moreover, every time Fei Yu emerged, it was filled with drunken rage and wanted to fight the shadow demon.
It was true that alcohol emboldened even the timid.
Seeing the Cuihua Mountain Range getting closer and closer, and knowing that they would soon escape to safety, Xiao Fei felt a little relieved, finally able to return to the warm embrace of Ancestor Shangguan.
Just then, his hair stood on end. A figure two zhang tall appeared in front of him.
This figure's mouth was open, its long tongue flicking in and out, and its body was covered in black scales.
This demon was the one whose physical body had been shattered by the combined efforts of three ancestors the last time, and only its Nascent Soul had escaped.
Its strength might not have recovered to its peak state, but it was more than enough to deal with Xiao Fei.
This demon blocked his path, and the shadow behind him was also getting closer and closer.
At this moment, Fei Yu was still recovering in the spatial dimension. It had only been put away a short while ago, so it shouldn't have recovered yet.
Xiao Fei sighed, feeling how fortunate he was, a mere Golden Core cultivator, to be pursued and intercepted by two Nascent Soul experts simultaneously.
Helpless, he reached into his怀 and took out a talisman, the Thousand Mile Teleportation Talisman bestowed by Ancestor Shangguan.
Using this talisman would allow him to be randomly teleported eight hundred miles away, enough to escape the pursuit of these two Nascent Soul demons.
However, this talisman was extremely rare, and he was reluctant to use it unless absolutely necessary.
As the two demons closed in from front and back, they saw a puff of green smoke rise from where Xiao Fei had been, and he vanished.
