At this moment, Ling Zhenfei could clearly see that the attacker was a circular ring.
This ring had already flown back at this time.
Of course, Ling Zhenfei knew what was going on. He had been attacked by a flying sword before, and now he encountered an attack from a Flying Ring.
There was no need to say that behind this Flying Ring was a very powerful cultivator.
Ling Zhenfei quickly helped the Eastern Emperor up and shouted to the others from the organization: "We're no match, hurry and run."
The few people naturally understood what was happening, and they ran behind Ling Zhenfei.
But the ring soon flew towards them again. Even though the cultivator wasn't there, it seemed like there was an eye on the ring that could clearly find their position.
It immediately hit a young man in the back, and this time the force was even stronger than before. The person hit was killed instantly.
Ling Zhenfei knew this couldn't continue; no one could withstand the ring's attack.
The speed of this ring's attack was also incredibly fast, continuously assaulting in the air, and quickly took out several people from the organization.
Ling Zhenfei handed the Eastern Emperor to a young man, saying: "You take the Eastern Emperor and leave, I'll deal with the ring."
The others were more than happy to let someone stay behind, so they quickly took the Eastern Emperor and left, while Ling Zhenfei stood at the rear with his Tang sword.
At that moment, the ring charged at Ling Zhenfei, who had previously used Northern Spiritual Energy to block but found that it could penetrate his energy.
So this time, Ling Zhenfei chose to use the Guardian Character Decision from his Boundless Blade Technique to block the ring.
It was the only way, for if you wanted to attack, you wouldn't even know where the enemy was, making attacking impossible.
Ling Zhenfei's Boundless Blade Technique involves the mutual pulling of spiritual energies to slow down the opponent's energy and attack.
Even after using the Guardian Character Decision from the Boundless Blade Technique, when the ring finally struck Ling Zhenfei's Tang sword, it was still shocked by the powerful spiritual energy above.
He never expected someone to be able to launch an attack with such strong power from such a distance.
This person's strength was similar to that of the previous person who attacked him with a flying sword.
After fending off the ring, Ling Zhenfei ran to the distance. He didn't dare to run in the direction where the Eastern Emperor and others fled, and chose to go another way instead.
After several attacks, the ring would fly back, and then after a while would come back again.
Ling Zhenfei knew he was always being locked onto by that person's Divine Sense, thus enabling the continued assaults.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei was very shocked. He didn't know what to do, except that if he didn't block the attacks, the Eastern Emperor and others might be completely wiped out.
But now there's another issue: if Ling Zhenfei wasn't mistaken, that powerful cultivator launching spiritual energy attacks must be moving towards him at the fastest speed.
It was terrifying to think about the power exerted from such a distance; Ling Zhenfei couldn't imagine facing it head-on.
Just as Ling Zhenfei thought, the time for the ring to return becomes quicker, indicating that the person was getting closer to him.
Ling Zhenfei knew he couldn't stay long, couldn't let himself be buried here.
With his Tang sword, Ling Zhenfei used the Boundless Blade Technique to fend off the ring once more, and as it flew back, he immediately summoned a Lightning Bird.
Without waiting for the Lightning Bird to land, Ling Zhenfei suddenly flew up, stepping on tree trunks and branches until he reached the air, and by then the Lightning Bird had flown over.
Ling Zhenfei jumped right onto the Lightning Bird's back just as the ring flew over.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked that from the moment he struck the ring back and mounted the Lightning Bird, only a few seconds had passed, yet the ring had returned.
This could only mean one thing: that the cultivator was extremely close to Ling Zhenfei.
This was rather terrifying; another moment later and Ling Zhenfei wouldn't have escaped.
Ling Zhenfei struck the ring with his Tang sword, and was caught off guard by the immense energy on the ring, causing him to be thrown off the back of the Lightning Bird.
Fortunately, the Lightning Bird reacted in time, swooping over to catch Ling Zhenfei on its back again.
At this moment, as the ring charged at Ling Zhenfei again, the Lightning Bird was ready; with a flap of its wings, it instantly flew dozens of meters away. The ring missed but continued pursuing.
Despite the Lightning Bird's swift escape, the ring pursued with immense speed.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked, as it was clear this person was very close; hence, the ring moved so fast.
With another swift flutter of its wings, the Lightning Bird covered another dozen meters, yet the ring still tailed them closely.
The Lightning Bird flapped its wings once more, yet they still couldn't shake off the ring.
The Lightning Bird, enraged, let out a screech, releasing a bolt of lightning from its beak.
The lightning struck the ring but only slowed it down briefly as the ring was lifeless.
The ring flew towards Ling Zhenfei once more, but with a blow from Ling Zhenfei's long sword, the ring was deflected and flew back.
Ling Zhenfei was overjoyed, fearing they couldn't escape the attacks of this ring.
Immediately, Ling Zhenfei urged the Lightning Bird to fly faster, and with a flap of the wings, it swiftly soared into the distance.
The ring came flying back again, but by then, the Lightning Bird was far beyond reach.
Sitting atop the Lightning Bird, Ling Zhenfei felt lingering fear; without its speed, he doubted he could have escaped.
After flying in the distance and circling a few times through the sky, Ling Zhenfei finally found the Eastern Emperor and others.
They had escaped to a relatively safe place and sat down to rest, yet in this endless forest full of foreign races, cultivators, and Demon Hunters, how relatively safe could it really be without unrivaled strength?
Ling Zhenfei descended from the Lightning Bird; during his clash with the ring, he had been internally wounded but was now mostly fine.
Hearing sounds, the people on the ground were immediately alert, relaxing only upon recognizing it was Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei approached the Eastern Emperor, checking his injuries.
"Fortunately, it's not too severe. With some rest and abstaining from using Northern Spiritual Energy, he'll be alright."
Ling Zhenfei gave the Eastern Emperor an elixir, who looked up at Ling Zhenfei and said: "We can't do without Northern Spiritual Energy; we still need to acquire the Heavenly God Sword."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, not expecting that even in such circumstances, they were still thinking about the Heavenly God Sword.
