Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16022

Chapter 16020: The Chase

Yang Qingyu quickly entered the void. Because of his speed, he actually saw the three rogue cultivators. The three cultivators were desperately fleeing in three different directions. Yang Qingyu immediately rushed towards one of the cultivators. His strength was greater than the cultivator’s, so he quickly caught up and killed him. The other two cultivators had already disappeared. Yang Qingyu could only shake his head regretfully. He prepared to return to the sect and leave.

However, just as he was flying towards the sect, several men in black suddenly appeared around him, completely surrounding him. This startled Yang Qingyu, and his expression changed. He was certain that these men in black had been following him for some time, and they must have used some kind of magic array to hide themselves completely, otherwise he wouldn’t have been completely unaware of them.

With a flick of their hands, four flying swords appeared in their hands, all pointing at Yang Qingyu. Yang Qingyu looked at the four men in black and said in a deep voice, “You should know my identity, yet you still dare to attack me. You’re incredibly bold. Don’t you know I’m extremely skilled in tracking? If you attack me today, I will definitely find out your identities. At that time, your sects and families will likely suffer as well. Do you really want to make a move?”

The four men in black continued to stare intently at Yang Qingyu. Then one of them said in a deep voice, “Kill!” With his movement, the four men in black directly commanded their flying swords to attack Yang Qingyu.

When Yang Qingyu saw the four men in black’s flying swords, he noticed that although they were good swords, their designs were very ordinary. It was impossible to identify them from the style of the swords. Furthermore, their swordsmanship was also ordinary. It was impossible to identify them from their swordsmanship. However, these four men were indeed very strong. Their strength had reached the Royal Palace level, which was the same level as his.

Despite being on the same level as him, he was facing a four-on-one situation, which wasn’t good for Yang Qingyu. However, Yang Qingyu didn’t panic. His strength was already quite formidable among those at the Royal Palace level, but few people knew this. Others might only know that he hadn’t been at the Royal Palace level for long and assumed his strength wasn’t very high, completely unaware that his strength was already quite good within that level. This was his trump card. His other trump card was actually the God of Jealousy. He currently possessed a considerable amount of Jealousy Power, which he could use to save his life if necessary.

While thinking about these things, Yang Qingyu’s hands didn’t slow down. He drew a flying sword and immediately engaged the group in battle. He could only defend, unable to attack, as he was waiting for an opportunity.

The flying sword he’s currently using isn’t his family’s heirloom. Flying swords, as magical artifacts, are actually quite fragile. If you engage in too much combat, a flying sword is prone to breakage. His family’s heirloom wasn’t particularly good; perhaps it would seem decent to cultivators at the Power or Throne levels, but he’s now at the Palace level. For a Palace-level cultivator to use his family’s flying sword would be inadequate.

The flying sword he’s using now was a reward from his family after he became a core disciple. This flying sword is quite good, very powerful, and the family has said they’ll commission another one for him. However, that sword isn’t finished yet, so the one he’s using now is only a temporary replacement. But it’s certainly a good flying sword.

Yang Qingyu carefully controlled his flying sword, defending his surroundings. Although the four attackers were targeting him, they hadn’t managed to harm him. Yang Qingyu needed to find an opportunity to break through and return to his sect as quickly as possible. Once there, he would immediately use the teleportation array to leave and return to the Shangyang Sect. As for how to retaliate against them after returning to the Shangyang Sect, that was a matter for later. His immediate priority was to safely return to the Shangyang Sect.

Yang Qingyu kept searching for an opportunity, but the cultivators surrounding him were clearly all skilled and wouldn’t give him a chance. Yang Qingyu’s expression was grim. He knew very well that dragging this out would do him no good. Even if he requested reinforcements from his sect, it would take time, and by then it might be too late.

However, upon thinking of this, Yang Qingyu’s eyes lit up. Asking the sect for help was indeed feasible. Even if the sect’s people couldn’t arrive immediately, it would still alarm them, forcing them to accelerate their attack, which might create an opening.

With this in mind, Yang Qingyu immediately took out a communication array and a jade slip. He directly input some information into the jade slip and placed it on the communication array. A flash of white light, and the jade slip disappeared.

This communication array was something he obtained after becoming a core disciple. Every core disciple had one, and each core disciple was extremely valuable to the Shangyang Sect. Therefore, they equipped all their core disciples with communication arrays so that if anything happened outside, they could immediately send messages back to the sect, allowing the sect to react promptly.

The four men besieging Yang Qingyu immediately tensed up upon seeing his movements. They knew perfectly well that if reinforcements from the Shangyang Sect arrived, they wouldn’t be able to kill Yang Qingyu, so their attacks intensified.

However, this intensification of their attacks inadvertently revealed an opening. Yang Qingyu’s eyes lit up at the sight of this opening, and he immediately moved. A sword incantation appeared in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, he launched a flying sword straight at one of the cultivators.

The cultivator’s expression changed upon seeing Yang Qingyu’s sword. The attack was incredibly fast, and the blade gleamed, clearly imbued with magic. Such an attack couldn’t be met head-on, so he dodged to the side, avoiding the strike.

If their offensive hadn’t intensified, his retreat would have allowed the other three cultivators to simultaneously block Yang Qingyu’s escape route, preventing him from fleeing. Unfortunately, their intensified attack backfired. While the man retreated, the other three’s blockade wasn’t yet complete, giving Yang Qingyu a tiny bit of time. This was precisely the time Yang Qingyu needed. He moved swiftly, charging forward and breaking free of their encirclement in the blink of an eye.

But at that moment, a flying sword pierced straight towards Yang Qingyu’s back. The sword was incredibly fast; Yang Qingyu had no chance to dodge. He could only desperately try to sidestep, and while he avoided a fatal blow, the sword struck his right chest.

Yang Qingyu felt a chill in his chest, followed by a spurt of blood. He knew perfectly well that he couldn’t stop now; if he did, he would die. So, gritting his teeth, he continued flying forward, simultaneously directing his flying sword to thrust backward. He also gripped the sword embedded in his body, preventing the enemy from retracting it.

His combat experience was considerable; he quickly devised a countermeasure. Seeing Yang Qingyu injured, the four pursuers became even more excited, increasing their speed. Although they saw the flying sword aimed at them, they didn’t care, wanting to let it pass and continue their pursuit.

But just as they reached the vicinity of the flying sword, Yang Qingyu suddenly shouted, “Explode!” With his voice, the flying sword shone brightly red, then exploded with a deafening roar. Fragments of the flying sword flew everywhere, each one incredibly powerful. The four men in black, seeing this attack, paled. They immediately erected protective shields to try and block the flying sword fragments, but it was clearly impossible for their shields to withstand the self-destruction. However, their shields did manage to deflect some of the fragments. They managed to avoid vital areas, but were all injured, though not as severely as Yang Qingyu.

When the four of them turned to look at Yang Qingyu again, they found that he had already run far away. It seemed impossible for them to catch up. Seeing this, although somewhat disappointed, they still flew away into the void. Since they couldn’t catch up with Yang Qingyu, continuing the chase would be pointless, so they retreated.

Yang Qingyu, however, carrying the flying sword embedded in his body, flew towards the sect with all his might. He quickly realized that the four hadn’t followed, and Yang Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he pay attention to his wound. It had stopped bleeding because he had sealed several acupoints around the wound. However, the sword had injured his lung, and he would need to rest for a long time.

However, before entering the continent of that sect, Yang Qingyu drew his longsword, put it away, stopped the bleeding from his wound, applied medicine, and took a pill to stabilize his injuries. He then changed his clothes before entering the continent of that sect. Once inside, he went directly to the sect’s external affairs hall, returned his temporary identity token, and then took the teleportation array back to Shangyang Sect. During this process, the people of that sect did not discover that Yang Qingyu was actually injured. They did not expect that Yang Qingyu would be injured, and since he had changed his clothes, the smell of blood on his body was also suppressed, so they did not notice that Yang Qingyu was injured. Yang Qingyu returned to Shangyang Sect smoothly. As soon as he returned to Shangyang Sect, Yang Qingyu went to the core disciple service office to hand in his mission before returning to his cave.
