"Puchi!"

The sound of a sharp weapon slicing through some object rang clearly in everyone's ears at that moment, leaving all present dumbfounded.

The cultivators from the Southern Domain Cultivation World, including the seven from Lingxiao Sect, were all stunned and speechless.

Even the spiritual ship's defense, which couldn't be broken by the Thunder Power of the Five Elements Thousand Mechanism Killing Array within the Mountain Protection Array, was cut open just like that?

On the spiritual ship, Wu You and the others were horrified, their scalps tingling.

This spiritual ship's defense could withstand multiple attacks from a Core Formation Master, and now it was breached by a Foundation Establishment cultivator's sword?

How could this be possible?

Someone tell me this isn't real!

However, everyone's gaze fell on the torn opening of the protective shield.

The golden sword aura indeed shredded the protective light shield surrounding the spiritual ship.

Everyone on the spiritual ship could feel the dreadful Sword Intent assaulting them, causing their hearts to palpitate.

How could this happen?

As everyone gazed in shock, the torn opening automatically healed at an astonishing speed.

In the sight of all, the more than five-meter-long golden sword aura from Qin Yanyang's long sword did slice open the spiritual ship's protective light shield, but that shield had an immensely strong auto-recovery effect, restoring itself in the blink of an eye. Once the sword aura passed, the entire outer layer of the spiritual ship's Light Shield was intact and undamaged.

Everyone on the spiritual ship breathed a sigh of relief.

They thought these two Earth-native cultivators could really break the spiritual ship's defense crafted by a Third-rank Builder, but it was a false alarm.

The seven from Lingxiao Sect also secretly sighed in relief but felt secretly disappointed, their emotions extremely complex and conflicted.

They hoped Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang could break the spiritual ship's defense but also worried they indeed could.

If it were broken, Wu You and the others would naturally have nowhere to hide, having lost their defense.

But if it really were broken, it would mean that Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, when combined, had combat power comparable to a Core Formation Master. It was just too exaggerated, too difficult to accept.

In the field, after Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang jointly sliced the spiritual ship's protective shield with a sword, they felt the rebound force from the spiritual ship's defense system as it automatically restored itself.

Qin Yanyang's hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

The long sword in her hand seemed unable to withstand such a level of power, with the entire sword body subtly twisting, slightly deformed.

This sword was once considered a divine weapon on the old Earth, a treasure sword, but upon stepping into the level of the Cultivation World, the mana unleashed by the pair was too strong. When the sword aura appeared, the sword body couldn't withstand the fearsome mana infusion, completely deforming; with merely one use, it became utterly useless.

Yang Fei pulled Qin Yanyang back.

The nine watched as Qin Yanyang's long sword twisted and deformed, entirely losing its spirituality, their expressions slightly changing.

Helian Zhan frowned and said, "It seems your sword can't handle the infusion of powerful mana; it's ruined."

Qin Yanyang looked at her sword with some heartache, sighed, and threw it into the distance.

Then she asked Helian Zhan, "Senior, may I borrow your sword?"

Helian Zhan directly handed his sword to her, saying, "This sword is also a mortal item. Before we reached Foundation Establishment, it was barely usable. Now, after Foundation Establishment, our True Qi has been refined into Immortal Taoist mana, and the power is quite different. Ordinary weapons can no longer withstand the infusion of mana."

Gan Qian said from the side, "Yes, your weapons haven't been forged by an Artifact Refiner and cannot bear the infusion of Immortal Taoist mana."

Saying that, he handed his sword to Yang Fei, saying, "Fellow Taoist Yang, use mine. Although this sword is not considered a treasure sword in the Cultivation World, it was forged by a Second Order Refiner of the Lingxiao Sect and can bear the infusion of mana from a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Yang Fei took the sword and handed it to Qin Yanyang.

The two prepared to strike again, but Ye Wuya couldn't help but say, "The defense system of this spiritual ship is very strong. A Core Formation Master would expend much effort to destroy it. You'd better not waste your energy."

Recalling the previous scene, Yang Fei nodded silently.

Yet, Qin Yanyang's eyes were firm as she said, "As long as our efforts can damage the defenses of this spiritual ship, it will be enough. If we make enough dents, the ship's defense system will eventually fail."

Hearing her words, everyone, including Yang Fei, was shocked internally.

Indeed.

As long as every strike has some effect, they can eventually destroy the spiritual ship's defense system.

Their figures flashed as they flew again.

This time, they got closer to the spiritual ship, with the sword aura emanating only about a meter.

Where the sword aura passed, the spiritual ship's defensive light shield was once again cut open.

Though the cut quickly healed, Qin Yanyang continued wielding her long sword incessantly.

Gan Qian's flying sword was indeed no ordinary item; under the powerful mana infusion from the two, it repeatedly unleashed sharp sword auras and showed no damage.

On the spiritual ship, Wu You and the others watched as the two natives continuously attacked the ship's defensive shield. Initially, they had mocking smiles as if watching fools.

But as time passed, they gradually sensed things going wrong.

The luster of the spiritual ship's defensive Light Shield seemed to be dimming.

The fierce sword aura penetrated the ship more strongly with each breach of the defense.

Turning a rod into a needle!

These two Earth natives had such strong resilience and willpower!

Wu You shouted, "Leave, don't stay here and let them damage the spiritual ship's defense system."

"Yes, quickly, let's go."

"Or shall we go out and eliminate these two rookies?"

"Hmph, that's what they want us to do. The power of the Soul Binding Rope in the boy's hand is limitless. Who among us can resist it?"

"Let's go, let's avoid this for now."

The spiritual ship restarted, flying into the distance.

Yang Fei, carrying Qin Yanyang, pursued relentlessly.

Helian Zhan, Wang Chunyang, and the seven from Lingxiao Sect followed in succession.

The two sides chased and fled, not letting up. Whenever the spiritual ship slowed down or wanted to stop to rest, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang would immediately approach, constantly bombarding the spiritual ship's defense system with sword aura.

Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang, alongside the seven from Lingxiao Sect, also occasionally threw out their swords.

While the attacks had minimal effect on the spiritual ship's defenses, none slacked off. Everyone persevered, under the belief that one day they could thoroughly destroy the spiritual ship's defense system, relentlessly pursuing it.

Thus, the spiritual ship fled in front while Yang Fei and the others pursued behind with unyielding perseverance.

The spiritual ship continuously circled around the sky near White Jade City Mountain, reluctant to leave.

The ship's occupants thought that once Yang Fei and the others tired, they could go down to mine Spirit Stones, but Yang Fei and the others seemed indefatigable.

Whenever they got tired, they would just pull out Spirit Stones or Genetic Liquid Medicine from their pockets and consume them.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, both sides had already been in a standoff for three days and nights.

On the morning of the fourth day, as Yang Fei took out Genetic Liquid Medicine from the storage bag, he touched the Spirit Pet Bag, and his eyes lit up.

He immediately released the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.

"Roar!"

The moment the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast appeared, it howled fiercely at the sky.

The eyes of everyone in the Lingxiao Sect brightened; Yun Zong slapped his forehead fiercely, exclaiming joyously, "How did I not think of it? Hahaha, Fellow Taoist Yang, with the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast here, we're in for an easy ride."
