Previously, when Lu Yu saw the guards of Yunhai City rushing to the battle scene, they were all flying at low altitude. Unlike the patriarch of the Lam family, who flew directly over the roofs of all buildings in a straight line to chase Li Yanfeng.
If some Core Formation Realm expert was annoyed by him flying over their head, it's possible they could strike him down with a palm.
Under normal circumstances, strong individuals in the Qi Sea Realm dare not fly recklessly within Yunhai City; only those in the Core Formation Realm can fly freely within the city.
Li Yanfeng felt the spiritual power fluctuations behind him, his face turning as livid as pig liver, "This time, I'm truly out of luck!"
He hadn't expected that Lu Yu would have a Qi Sea Realm expert protecting him.
That Qi Sea Realm's ability to conceal was too strong; before appearing, he didn't even feel it.
Moreover, the person being protected was problematic too; the protective armor on him was broken by Li Yanfeng's strikes, yet his body remained unharmed, downright inexplicable!
Li Yanfeng really wished he was just dreaming now and that nothing had happened when he awoke.
But it was impossible; he had already felt the oppression of the strong person in the Qi Sea Realm pressing on him, his spiritual power circulating sluggishly, unable to properly perform his escape body techniques, slowing him down.
"Capture him, and if you can't, it's fine to kill him directly."
Lu Yu is presently clad in a black robe and wearing black armor; the patriarch of the Lam family flies in the air, wearing a black iron mask.
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, the patriarch of the Lam family released a hawk, its figure growing larger and its sharp claws pouncing towards Li Yanfeng.
The sharp claws clashed with Li Yanfeng's fourth-grade spiritual armor, causing the armor to collapse and shatter. Li Yanfeng was struck by the force and flew away, vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood in the air, severely injured.
Flying in the air, even though Li Yanfeng could use spiritual power to change his flight direction, he still couldn't be faster than the hawk manifested by the patriarch of the Lam family, whose claws now enshrouded him, about to grasp him.
Li Yanfeng's eyes burned with a crazed look; since Lu Yu wanted to capture him, he would make Lu Yu know the final madness of a Martial Cultivator. His spiritual power surged violently within him, with a hint of self-destruction.
Boom! Two forces collided hard, and the hawk condensed from spiritual power exploded into flames, flinging Li Yanfeng away with the violent spiritual power.
Seeing an opportunity to escape, Li Yanfeng quickly suppressed the surging spiritual power within and before landing, controlled his spiritual power to glide away leveraging the explosive force.
Martial Cultivators in the Aura Refinement Realm can externalize their spiritual power, allowing them to achieve airborne flight. However, flying consumes a huge amount of spiritual power, with faster flight consuming more, which is why few Aura Refinement Realm Martial Cultivators engage in aerial combat.
Only upon reaching the Qi Sea Realm, where the total spiritual power is abundant and the recovery speed fast, does aerial combat become the norm.
Forcing aerial combat in the Aura Refinement Realm only leads to finding one's spiritual power nearly depleted during flight without much combat.
The patriarch of the Lam family threw Lu Yu towards the gliding Li Yanfeng, while he vigilantly watched several Qi Sea Realm experts in front of him.
"Where is this Qi Sea Realm from?" He Yichao was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the suddenly appearing patriarch of the Lam family.
The Qi Sea Realm experts from the He family loudly addressed the Lam family patriarch, "The He family is handling the matter, please step aside."
"Humans! You have bullied us too much!" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novèlfire.net
The gray robe had been lifted, revealing fish fin ears and scales growing on the neck of the sea tribe, angrily watching the people of the He family in front of them.
Three Qi Sea Realm experts of the sea tribe stood behind a female sea tribe holding the Mermaid Princess; they were blocked by the people of the He family as they were about to leave Yunhai City.
Four Qi Sea Realm experts from the He family intervened, making it difficult for the sea tribe to protect the Mermaid Princess and break the He family's encirclement.
Yet, the He family found it challenging to take down these sea tribes, and the arrival of the Lam family patriarch became an opportunity to break the stalemate, now it depended on which side the Lam patriarch would stand.
If they dealt with the He family, the sea tribe had a chance to escape; if they confronted the sea tribe, the He family had a chance to seize the Mermaid Princess.
Of course, now He Yichao still did not know that what the sea tribe held was the merfolk princess.
After all, merfolk live in the deep sea and are rarely seen, and are even rarer among the royal family.
