Chapter 302 - Controlling The Flying Sword
“Wuxie, are you absolutely sure about this?” Fan Lin’s eyes flickered with hope and worry as he rose to his feet on the flying carpet. The situation\'s gravity was dire; if Liu Wuxie failed, they would all perish except him.
“Is there any better way? The Heavenly Origin Sect has no intention of letting us go and wants to wear us down slowly.” Liu Wuxie had already figured it out. Yu Tianyi had no intentions of letting them go. He planned to trap them and slowly wear them down.
Fan Lin’s eyes shone with a glimmer of hope as he recalled the sudden acceleration of the flying carpet. It wasn’t hard to guess that Liu Wuxie had helped out earlier.
Furthermore, the young missy had emphasized that he shouldn’t underestimate Liu Wuxie and avoid treating him as an ordinary person. Fan Lin kept that in mind and didn’t dare to forget it.
“Everyone, sit tight!” Fan Lin sat between them and released his aura to protect everyone, as there would be severe turbulence. After everyone was seated, Liu Wuxie walked to the front of the flying carpet and began forming seals with his hands.
“Brother Liu, be careful!” Weng Li said. Apart from him, no one showed their concern for Liu Wuxie.
As mysterious seals were injected into the flying carpet, the flying carpet was calm and remained hovering in the air, with everyone puzzled.
“What is he doing? He’s going to take over the flying carpet’s control?” Lu Xingde looked puzzled and couldn’t comprehend what Liu Wuxie was trying to do.
The others also had distrust on their faces to place their safety in Liu Wuxie’s hands. But they didn’t dare to say anything about it because Fan Lin had agreed.
“Liu Wuxie, don’t waste your effort!” The Black Chu Empire’s prodigies mocked as many had joined the Heavenly Origin Sect. As their distance wasn’t far, their voices were clearly audible.
“Senior Brother Yu, thanks for helping out. Upon entering the Heavenly Origin Sect, I will let my uncle thank you,” Ye Feng said politely as he stood beside Yu Tianyi.
“I still need Junior Brother Ye to speak some good words for me before the Seventh Elder.” In the eyes of ordinary people, Yu Tianyi was a representative of the Heavenly Origin Sect.
However, in the Heavenly Origin Sect, he was merely an ordinary disciple who had to curry favor with the higher-ups.
Over the years, many of the Black Chu Empire’s prodigies had joined the Heavenly Origin Sect and established a firm footing. Ye Feng’s uncle, possessing a high status, had become the Heavenly Origin Sect’s Seventh Elder.
Before coming, Ye Feng’s uncle had reminded Yu Tianyi to care for the Black Chu Empire’s prodigies.
“Senior Brother Yu, please rest assured. I will tell my uncle truthfully when we return to the Heavenly Origin Sect.” Ye Feng didn’t put on any airs because his uncle was the Seventh Elder. On the contrary, he was low-key, which Yu Tianyi admired.
As they chatted on the warship, Liu Wuxie injected hundreds of runes into the flying carpet. His hands were like two masts pointing towards the warship when he spread his arms apart.
“Hold on tight!” Liu Wuxie said, and the flying carpet dashed out, charging towards the warship.
The speed was breakneck, but it was fortunate that Fan Lin had braced himself. Even so, he felt a strong force pushing him backward, nearly sending him off the flying carpet.
“Quick, look! The flying carpet is coming!” the warship\'s crew exclaimed. Was the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion planning to drag them down? After all, they would also fall from the sky if the warship was damaged.
“Everyone, please be rest assured. I spent 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones to buy this warship from the Profound Spiritual Pavilion. The base is made of meteorites with countless rare materials. Even the full-force attack of someone in the Heavenly Phase Realm won’t be able to damage it.” Yu Tianyi signaled everyone to calm down, reassuring everyone.
The warship returned to peace, and everyone looked at Liu Wuxie with a gloating expression. This was because the flying carpet would be the one to perish if they collided head-on.
“They were only ten-odd meters away, and the distance was crossed in barely a breath’s time. The flying carpet appeared at the side of the warship.
Suddenly, the flying carpet performed a lateral movement, and everyone was slanted to the side. It was fortunate that Fan Lin grabbed onto the flying carpet. He even made everyone hold hands to prevent them from falling off.
It was daring for Liu Wuxie to fly sideways because everyone would fall off if they weren’t careful.
Right then, Liu Wuxie drew the Heretic Blade.
“Break!” Liu Wuxie’s objective wasn’t just flying alongside the warship. Since Yu Tianyi wanted to kill him, he did not need to be polite with the Heavenly Origin Sect.
This scene infuriated Yu Tianyi. He thought Liu Wuxie would try to escape, but he didn’t expect the latter’s true objective to be to destroy his warship.
A powerful blade aura was unleashed, empowered with an incomplete immortal rune. When the blade clashed against the warship, it left behind a long crack.
It was astonishing that Liu Wuxie\'s attack had the potency to harm someone in the lower echelons of the Heavenly Dipper Realm.
The entire warship shook violently and tilted to the side, scaring those on the plank. With one side attacked, the warship’s balance was ruined, making it tough to fly normally. There was a possibility the warship would be destroyed and fall from the sky.
"Damn it!" Yu Tianyi anguished. He had invested half of his lifetime savings to purchase this warship, and any damage incurred would require a significant amount of resources to repair.
Yu Tianyi appeared at the side of the warship and used resources from his interspatial ring to repair and prevent further damage.
Upon damaging Yu Tianyi’s warship, Liu Wuxie didn’t hesitate to leave with the flying carpet, heading straight for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
After spending a significant amount of resources to repair the warship, the damage was temporarily contained, and stability returned. However, systematic repairs would still be necessary once they returned.
Yu Tianyi glared in the direction the flying carpet had departed, murderous intent radiating from him.
“Liu Wuxie, I swear I’ll kill you!” Yu Tianyi controlled the warship, and it disappeared like a comet, chasing after Liu Wuxie.
Everyone cheered when the flying carpet’s speed returned to normal because they had finally shaken off the Heavenly Origin Sect’s pursuit.
“Liu Wuxie, how did you do that?” Fan Lin walked over eagerly. His flying carpet was only a low-grade flying treasure and couldn’t be compared to the warship. But the earlier outburst of speed was even faster than a high-grade flying treasure.
Liu Wuxie smiled and didn’t bother explaining. He knew Fan Lin wouldn’t understand even if he did. Too many factors were involved, and the runes he inscribed were flying spiritual runes. It was heaven-defying that he could accomplish what he did with his cultivation.
He had to wait till he reached the Heavenly Dipper Realm before he could refine some low-grade flying treasures.
Everyone gradually calmed down after flying for fifteen minutes.
“They’re catching up!” the young man seated behind yelled as the Heavenly Origin Sect’s warship swiftly approached. On the contrary, the runes Liu Wuxie had inscribed on the flying carpet were more or less exhausted, and the speed gradually slowed.
Everyone’s nerves became tense because the warship’s speed was twice compared to theirs, and they would catch up in less than fifteen minutes. Yu Tianyi wouldn’t let them go this time, which worried everyone.
“Wuxie, what should we do?” Fan Lin panicked. He didn’t have a solution, and it was tough for the flying carpet to break free from the warship.
Liu Wuxie frowned with a hint of determination on his face. Since they wanted to play, he wouldn’t mind playing big with them.
“Senior Brother Fan, can you let me control your flying sword?” A bold thought appeared in Liu Wuxie’s heart. He planned to control Fan Lin’s flying sword to face Yu Tianyi’s warship.
There was no doubt that this was an insane decision. Not to mention Fan Lin, even the other eleven disciples were dumbstruck.
“Wuxie, have you ever controlled a flying sword before? You’ll fall if you can’t balance yourself,” Fan Lin warned. He recalled how he had flown at low altitudes when he first learned to control a flying sword, keeping the height to roughly three to five meters.
He had practiced for a month before controlling his balance and daring to fly at high altitudes.
Liu Wuxie knew Fan Lin was warning him out of goodwill because everyone started at a low altitude when learning to fly on the flying sword. However, there was no time because the flying carpet would be destroyed if he took time to familiarize himself with the flying sword.
“I can’t worry about that right now. Senior Brother Fan, summon your flying sword!” Liu Wuxie didn’t have time to explain. He had long mastered the art of flying, but he couldn’t fly because of his low cultivation. Thus, controlling a flying sword was an easy task for him.
Fan Lin gritted his teeth and summoned his broad sword on the flying carpet.
“Drip a drop of your blood on it. I’ll let you control the flying sword temporarily.” Since Fan Lin had made up his mind, he would naturally give his fullest support.
Liu Wuxie bit his finger without hesitation and let a drop of blood fall onto the broad sword. A strange scene unfolded as Liu Wuxie and the broad sword formed a mental connection.
Using divine power, Liu Wuxie could control the broad sword however he wished. After gaining control of the sword, Liu Wuxie tested it briefly before he finally stepped on it.
Fan Lin was dumbfounded and couldn’t believe this was Liu Wuxie’s first time controlling a flying sword. The others were even more shocked because controlling a flying sword with divine power required strong control that had to be accumulated through time.
In less than two breaths, Liu Wuxie had fully grasped the flying sword. His divine power circulated when he stepped on it, and the sword flew out like a comet.
Fan Lin\'s heart leaped to his throat; if Liu Wuxie fell, he would die, and Fan Lin had no idea how he would explain it to the young missy.
The moment the flying sword left the flying carpet, it trembled. This was Liu Wuxie’s first time controlling a flying sword since his rebirth, and he was a little nervous. But the nervousness only lasted briefly before dissipating.
