Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 936: Chapter 697: Surrounded by Enemies

Only the death flame cloud behind was left, having dyed half the sky red, along with the indistinct, extremely furious roar of the Demon Tiger.

...

Elsewhere, the combined forces of the Liu and Xiao families were resting.

Vanilla and Liu Zhifei, who were on sentry duty, cried out simultaneously.

"Master, ten miles behind, there are large packs of wolf and raven demons pursuing us!"

"Patriarch, Demon Beasts are closing in from behind, and there are over a dozen Escape Lights coming towards us!"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Minglin unhesitatingly summoned the dark cyan spaceship.

At this time, those dozen hurried Escape Lights had already arrived close by, each spirit weakened and bodies drenched in blood.

The leader was none other than the Ma family patriarch, Ma Wanquan.

In front of him, his Lifebound Flying Sword’s Spiritual Light was dim and it was covered in cracks and blood stains.

"It’s Fellow Daoist Liu! Great, Fellow Daoist Xiao is here too!"

Ma Wanquan’s voice was hoarse, overwhelmed with the fortune of escaping from the jaws of death.

"What a ghost!"

Liu Minglin glared at him, speaking quickly: "Get on the ship fast! The sky behind is pitch black, haven’t you seen it?"

Cultivation Realm common knowledge: ordinary family spaceships most fear pursuit by flocks of Demon Birds.

Unless it’s a fully armed warship from a Sect.

"Old man Liu, can your ship withstand those feathered brutes behind us?"

Ma Wanquan glanced at the rapidly spreading "black cloud" on the horizon and asked urgently.

"Too much nonsense! The ship is taking off, boarding or not?"

"Boarding!"

Ma Wanquan didn’t hesitate anymore, signaling with a wave of his hand.

Over a dozen heavily wounded cultivators from the Ma family struggled to fly onto the ship.

The spaceship emitted a low roar, slowly leaving the ground.

What surprised Ma Wanquan and Xiao Changsheng was Liu Minglin’s grave expression, which showed little alarm.

He seemed to have full confidence against the following raven demon swarm.

Soon, they understood the reason.

The Liu family’s Honored Guest, Guo Shiyan, was already calmly standing on the deck at the ship’s bow.

He made a hand sign, and with a flash of Spiritual Light from the gray pouch hanging at his waist, several silver-gray puppet divine eagles swiftly and electrifyingly flew out, scattering as loyal guards and circling the spaceship.

An astonishing scene unfolded.

The black-winged icy raven swarm, originally fierce and relentless, suddenly slowed their approach when the puppet divine eagles appeared, daring not to get closer and only trailing distantly behind.

Even the silver electric wolf pack, which had been wildly chasing on the ground, significantly slowed their pace, maintaining a subtle distance from the spaceship.

"Indeed..."

Ma Wanquan and Xiao Changsheng exchanged glances, seeing shock in each other’s eyes.

"Those puppet flying eagles must have something unusual that makes the ravens and wolves apprehensive!"

The two looked closely and discovered that each puppet eagle had an unobtrusive black tubular object on their backs, faintly emitting a frightening Spiritual Power fluctuation.

It was not decor but rather akin to a miniature version of a warship’s Spiritual Energy Cannon!

The spaceship began to accelerate, slicing through the wind.

Behind, the raven and wolf packs continued to follow but maintained a "safe" distance, neither retreating nor launching an attack.

"Strange."

A clan elder from the Xiao family murmured: "Why are these beasts so patient? Persistently trailing us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a layer of gloom shrouded everyone’s hearts.

"Don’t overthink it!"

Ma Wanquan suppressed his unease and said to Xiao Changsheng: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, the urgent task is to swiftly return to the camp! Let’s help Fellow Daoist Liu propel the spaceship and accelerate with all our might!"

His voice was bitter.

With heavy losses to the Ma family’s forces in this encounter, only the dozen Foundation Establishment clan members around him had escaped, while the Qi Cultivation Realm disciples were entirely wiped out.

Xiao Changsheng nodded emphatically, hope igniting in his eyes: "What Fellow Daoist Ma said is true! As long as we return to camp with True Master Wang Yue stationed there, these Demon Beasts are nothing but mere chickens and dogs, easily vanquished!"

After speaking, the duo infused Spiritual Power and rushed towards the spaceship’s bow control room.

With Ma Wanquan and Xiao Changsheng’s Spiritual Power augmentation, the Liu family’s spaceship gained a burst of speed, gradually leaving the ravens and wolves behind, finally vanishing at the edge of the sky.

The crowd had just breathed a sigh of relief, the tense strings in their hearts not yet fully relaxed.

"Look quickly! What’s that in the sky!"

A sudden exclamation rang out, full of terror.

Everyone raised their heads in shock.

High above the expanse, a dot was expanding at a terrifying speed.

It turned out to be a colossal bird with a wingspan over ten zhang, its feathers dark golden, edges shimmering with a cold metallic sheen.

It swooped down from above the clouds, its wings spreading, faintly stirring wind and thunder sounds, tearing large swathes of cloud to pieces.

"It’s a Peng Demon! A Tier Three Peng Demon!"

An old cultivator shouted hoarsely, his voice trembling.

Shen Xuan’s eyes flashed with a golden-red brilliance as the Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique operated to its fullest.

In his vision, he clearly saw the vertical mark on the forehead of the giant Roc.

The third eye.

Three-eyed Thunder Roc Demon.

It matched what was recorded in Ming Liu True Master’s Jade Scroll, the renowned flying overlord of the Southern Wilderness, exactly.

"Be cautious!"

Shen Xuan warned in a deep voice.

As soon as his voice fell, an anomaly occurred.

The three-eyed Thunder Roc’s vertical eye suddenly opened, a piercing white lightning condensed deep in its pupil.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by a strange noise, a white lightning bolt as thin as a thumb shot out from its vertical eye, instantly slicing across the sky.

After leaving the body, the lightning frantically devoured the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi along its path, swelling against the wind!

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a terrifying lightning beam with a diameter exceeding a zhang and a length of a hundred zhang, tearing through the air with the destructive aura of annihilation, fiercely striking towards the Liu family’s spaceship!

"Dodge!"

Liu Minglin’s eyes almost burst with rage, furiously urging the spaceship.

The hull emitted groans of strain, scraping past the edge of the lightning.

The blistering plasma and violent impact made the ship’s protective shield flicker violently, Spiritual Light splattering.
