Chapter 2118 - 2119: Enemy of Humanity

"But now Ling Zhenfei has become a public enemy of humanity, where else can he find someone to help him?"

Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei headed directly towards the south of the canyon. The Flash Bird seemed to understand Ling Zhenfei's intention and flew away quickly.

Ling Zhenfei, anxious, instructed the Flash Bird to fly towards the mountains.

Murong Liuqing only mentioned a mountain valley to the south, but did not specify the distance, which makes the range rather large.

But there was no choice. Even if it was difficult to find, Ling Zhenfei had to try. He ordered the Flash Bird to fly lower and unleashed his Divine Sense to its fullest extent, starting to search the entire southern region of the canyon.

With Ling Zhenfei's current strength, his Divine Sense had become exceedingly powerful, capable of covering several kilometers.

To find Murong Liuqing, he sought out spiritual energy, identifying any energy to ascertain if it was Murong Liuqing. To his shock, after releasing his Divine Sense, Ling Zhenfei discovered there were indeed many cultivators within these southern mountains.

In an instant, several Divine Senses locked onto Ling Zhenfei!

The demon hunters of the Foreign Land Space are a bizarre existence.

Though demon hunters belong to foreign races, they are a peculiar subgroup within them.

Foreign races generally operate in groups, relying on uniformity to launch coordinated attacks to overcome their enemies.

However, some within these foreign races, perhaps due to differing cultivation methods or fortuitous encounters, diverge from the group-based norm.

Their single-combat strength is tremendously formidable. Lu Tao once shared some insights on demon hunters with Ling Zhenfei.

Back then, Lu Tao and his group barely survived an encounter with several demon hunters.

Even if they did survive, the demon hunters would deliberately poison them, rendering them worse off than death.

Since arriving here, Ling Zhenfei had also encountered some demon hunters, but their strength wasn't particularly impressive, which piqued his curiosity.

If what Lu Tao and the others said was true, it would boil down to a few reasons:

First, the demon hunters Ling Zhenfei encountered were simply less skilled.

Another possibility is that, like humans, demon hunters' apprentices over the past twenty years were not as strong as their masters, which is quite normal.

However, Ling Zhenfei also found that the demon hunters he encountered were indeed much stronger than the group-oriented foreign races.

Most foreign races dwell at the Pursue Heart State, a realm comparable to human strength.

Ling Zhenfei, in his search for Murong Liuqing, had no better strategy than this and only resorted to this method.

But employing spiritual energy inevitably attracted the attention of the surrounding demon hunters.

As soon as he released spiritual energy, numerous demon hunters were immediately drawn toward Ling Zhenfei's location.

Nevertheless, Ling Zhenfei was unfazed. First, he had the Flash Bird's assistance, whose speed could easily evade the cultivators' blockades and attacks.

Even if it came to a fight, the Flash Bird's strength was formidable; the two of them together could handle the approaching demon hunters.

After flying for a while, suddenly a foreign race descended from afar, flying with controlled qi, blocking Ling Zhenfei's path.

Ling Zhenfei glanced at him; this foreign demon hunter wielded a large trident and was quite hideous, with a large mouth that couldn't fully close and jagged canine teeth truly frightening to behold.

While flying on the Flash Bird, Ling Zhenfei ensured the bird's speed remained moderate for easier search efforts.

At this moment, this guy happened to stand right in his path.

Ling Zhenfei was undeterred, nor was the Flash Bird, maintaining its speed unchanged. Yet, Ling Zhenfei had already drawn his Tang sword.

Sitting atop the Flash Bird, Ling Zhenfei charged straightforwardly towards the foreign person.

Upon assessing the demon hunter's strength, Ling Zhenfei saw it was at the early Pursue Heart State.

Ling Zhenfei shouted from afar, "Get out of my way."

The foreign person retorted angrily, "Kid, watch how I take you down today."

With that, he hurled the trident forcefully at Ling Zhenfei, while charging from behind.

The trident, imbued with spiritual energy, seemed to be the foreign person's Heart-pursuing Item.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but feel a bit envious, wondering when he would establish a connection with his Tang sword.

But there was no point in dwelling on it now; he could only use his Tang sword more to forge that connection.

As the trident came hurtling towards him, Ling Zhenfei knew this wasn't the time for a prolonged battle.

His current priority was finding Murong Liuqing, not fighting. Every minute wasted increased the danger for Murong Liuqing.

With that in mind, the trident reached him, and Ling Zhenfei's Tang sword struck.

Executed with both speed and intensity, the Iaido technique imbued with powerful spiritual energy deflected the trident back.

With a thought, Ling Zhenfei's intention was clear to the Flash Bird below.

A slight movement of its wings, and it was instantly behind the demon hunter, its position very close. Suddenly, it emitted a piercing cry.

The sound was extremely sharp, not only ear-piercing but also producing a sonic attack.

The demon hunter, caught off guard, hadn't expected the Flash Bird to be so fast, appearing behind him in a blink and heard the cry just as he was about to turn.

He immediately felt the sound piercing through his eardrums and drilling into his brain.

Ling Zhenfei was thrilled as he already swung his sword.

The opponent, sensing Ling Zhenfei's spiritual power closing in, hurried to block with his large trident.

Boom!

Ling Zhenfei's strike landed directly on the opponent's trident.

Currently, Ling Zhenfei's spiritual energy was far more potent than the foreign person's.

After that night with Peach Blossom Fairy, Ling Zhenfei's spiritual energy had grown wildly, and now, his Spiritual Energy Cultivation level had reached the fourth layer of the Pursue Heart State.

It was truly terrifying; even Ling Zhenfei himself found it hard to believe initially.

One can only say the Peach Blossom Fairy was incredibly powerful, having lived tens of thousands of years in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, her body entirely imbued with spiritual energy, attaining not only immortality but profound cultivation.

However, Peach Blossom Fairy's spiritual practice wasn't for combat but for nurturing her body.

Thus, Ling Zhenfei had lucked out, leading to an explosive increase in his spiritual energy, skyrocketing four tiers overnight.

Reaching the Pursue Heart State is no small feat; ascending even one realm takes countless hours of cultivation, but Ling Zhenfei achieved it overnight.

Now, Ling Zhenfei was full of confidence, both due to his strong spiritual energy and the presence of the Flash Bird beneath him.
