Chapter 89

The cloak was hanging on a branch halfway up Kaiyuan Peak.

Yun Yifei glanced at it, and a long ribbon flew out from her sleeve, wrapping around the black cloak and pulling the branch it was hanging on, breaking it off.

Throwing the black cloak into Shang Xia's arms, Yun Yifei smiled and said, "You can use it for protection for now, but you'll have to hand it over to the public afterward."

Shang Xia smiled and replied, "Understood, thank you, Aunt Yun."

Yun Yifei smiled and said, "Aunt Yun sounds too distant. Just call me Aunt Yun or Aunt Fei."

"Alright, Aunt Yun!"

Shang Xia readily agreed and then asked, "Then, will the spoils we gain from pursuing and killing the Four Spirit Mountain warriors also be handed over to the public?"

Yun Yifei giggled and said, "Of course not, otherwise, why would so many people join the pursuit? Especially when there are a considerable number of independent cultivators and warriors from other regions involved."

As they spoke, the five riders had already charged out of the valley and reached the outer perimeter of the Tongyou Peak protective array.

In the distance, the sky was almost turned into a chaotic mess due to the battle between several Fourth Heaven warriors.

However, there were still many Four Spirit Mountain warriors preparing to retreat nearby.

The Two Realms Battle Zone was neither too large nor too small. Once several hundred Extraordinary warriors were scattered, finding them would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Shang Xi and Yun Yifei exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously spurred their horses. Shang Xia and the other three quickly followed behind.

The five riders charged diagonally into the battlefield, killing four people along the way.

However, these four were all warriors below the Martial Intent Realm, and were almost instantly cut down by Yun Yifei and Shang Xi. Shang Xia and Sun Haiwei didn't even need to move.

To speed up, and to achieve as much as possible before the Four Spirit Mountain warriors completely retreated, they didn't even dismount to collect the spoils.

Of course, the items on these First and Second Heaven warriors were not necessarily worth their attention.

The retreat of the Four Spirit Mountain was not a chaotic rush. Many Martial Intent Realm warriors took the rear, buying time for the lower-rank warriors to escape.

"A tough battle is coming!"

Shang Xi suddenly warned, slightly turning his horse. The others immediately followed in perfect coordination, even Shang Xia, a newcomer, could now perfectly coordinate with the others in horse riding.

At the moment of the slight turn, Shang Xia had already seen their opponents.

It was a small formation of four Four Spirit Mountain warriors, which should be the "Four Spirit Formation."

Tongyou Peak had a small cavalry formation, and naturally, the Four Spirit Mountain had a formation that could counter it, which was the simple formation formed by these four Four Spirit Mountain warriors, each occupying a position.

"Two Martial Intent Realm warriors, be careful, don't let them stop your horses!"

Yun Yifei shouted, already riding behind Shang Xi.

Shang Xia noticed that among the five-person cavalry squad, although Yun Yifei was the highest in cultivation at the second layer of the Martial Intent Realm, the one in the main attack position was his aunt, Shang Xi.

When they were still about ten yards away, the two willow-leaf curved swords in Shang Xi's hands flew out.

The Four Spirit Formation immediately responded, the four warriors' positions shifted, and the two willow-leaf curved swords were knocked away.

"Press down these two curved swords!"

A Martial Intent Realm expert in the Four Spirit Formation shouted loudly, clearly noticing that the two knocked-away curved swords were trying to fly back to Shang Xi's hands.

The four warriors immediately acted in unison, four streams of essence energy condensed in mid-air, forming two bird claws, each grabbing a curved sword.

Unexpectedly, as the cavalry charged to close range, a long ribbon suddenly flew out from among them.

Shang Xia suddenly felt his internal essence energy being activated, knowing that this was the effect of the formation, which could combine the essence energy of all participants.

The essence energy of the group attached to the long ribbon, making it much longer, and it quickly retrieved the two curved swords.

Shang Xi never slowed down, and instead, his speed increased, showing confidence that Yun Yifei could retrieve the willow-leaf curved swords first.

The two swords landed in his hands, and the five-ride formation was activated again, this time by Shang Xi!

Two wheel-sized sword auras flew out, heading straight for the two bird claws formed by the Four Spirit Formation.

"Quick, stabilize your essence energy, disperse the manifestation!"

The Martial Intent Realm warriors in the Four Spirit Formation had already sensed the danger and hurriedly warned the others.

The response speed of the Four Spirit Formation was not slow. Under the formation's operation, one of the bird claws immediately began to retract the condensed essence energy.

However, at the moment Shang Xi attacked, Yun Yifei activated the formation again, and the long ribbon flew out, grabbing the bird claw that was about to dissipate.

The two sword auras arrived in an instant, cutting down the two giant claws formed by the essence energy, and the essence energy could no longer return to the Four Spirit Formation.

Before the two sides even engaged, the Four Spirit Formation had already suffered significant damage, losing the initiative.

The cavalry then charged, and the first person was directly knocked off by Shang Xi.

The remaining three still resisted, trying to pull the formation back.

However, Yun Yifei, following closely behind, used the long ribbon to pull the person away from his intended position.

This time, Sun Haiwei and Shang Xia, both at the Martial Extreme Realm, finally had a chance to use their skills.

Sun Xun directly used the Ice Cluster formed by the Ice Spell to freeze a Four Spirit Mountain warrior in mid-air, and Shang Xia followed, the tip of his Yuhexian sword exploding with thunder, directly shattering the ice cluster and the warrior inside into ice shards.

During this time, the other three warriors in the Four Spirit Formation tried to save their comrade but were thwarted by Yan Qi, who followed last in the five-ride formation.

Among these three, one was a "common blood" warrior from the Fengyan Clan. The moment he acted, he was suppressed by Yan Qi's bloodline, almost being killed on the spot.

The Four Spirit Formation was broken by the cavalry's charge, and one of the warriors was killed. The formation could no longer be formed.

The two Martial Intent Realm warriors in the Four Spirit Formation, seeing the situation, knew it was hopeless and each chose a direction to escape.

"Two of you, wait for me!"

The only remaining "common blood" warrior from the Fengyan Clan, with only Martial Extreme Realm cultivation, had no hope of escaping without the help of other Martial Intent Realm experts.

In fact, as soon as he spoke, a long ribbon flew through the air, wrapping around his neck, and he was beheaded by Shang Xi.

"Go!"

The five riders did not stop, chasing after one of the Martial Intent Realm warriors who had fled.

Although only two remained, the five riders did not split up and quickly caught up to the second-layer Martial Intent Realm warrior.

This warrior, knowing there was no escape, turned around to fight, but was easily trapped by the well-prepared Shang Xi and the others.

The five cavalry members charged back and forth, and even with his strong vitality, the warrior was quickly worn down. His vitality finally dissipated, and his essence energy faintly formed a giant wolf howling to the sky, which then slowly dissipated.

"Is this a Moon Wolf lineage from the Wolf Spirit Clan? Could it have some connection to Lang Xiaoyun?" Yun Yifei jumped off her horse.

Shang Xi had already searched the dead Wolf Spirit Clan warrior and found a pile of miscellaneous items.

"This guy used a copper halberd, but it's already broken. I chose to pursue him because I saw that his copper halberd was a low-grade weapon!"

Shang Xi looked regretful but still instructed Shang Xia to pick up the broken copper halberd, which could be melted down and re-smelted, potentially recovering a lot of extraordinary materials.

Yun Yifei also found a string of wolf tooth necklace among the items, which was already covered in fine cracks and would crumble into powder with a slight force.

Yun Yifei casually brushed off the bone powder and said regretfully, "Since they are fighting to the death, they will use every means possible. Unless we can instantly kill our opponents like Uncle Shang, leaving no chance for them to react, it would be foolish to leave anything behind as spoils."

The low-grade weapon, the copper halberd, and the wolf tooth necklace, which served as a protective charm, were likely the most valuable items on the dead Martial Intent Realm warrior.

Both items were broken, so Yun Yifei had little hope of collecting valuable spoils.

"But that's not necessarily the case!"

Yun Yifei looked over and saw Shang Xi holding an oval copper ball in his hand.

"Really? A Third Stage Green Copper? This is an extraordinary material unique to the Cangling World. I didn't expect this person to carry it with him?"

Looking at the copper ball, Yun Yifei's face showed a rare hint of envy.

Generally, Second Stage extraordinary materials are used to forge low-grade weapons, while Third Stage materials are used to refine mid-grade weapons.

Of course, a single material is not enough. The forging of each weapon often requires a combination of multiple extraordinary materials.

However, upgrading a low-grade weapon to a mid-grade weapon requires fewer extraordinary materials than directly forging a mid-grade weapon.

This Green Copper ball was clearly carried by the Four Spirit Mountain warrior to upgrade his copper halberd, but now it would benefit Shang Xi.

The quality of the willow-leaf curved swords in Shang Xi's hands was excellent, with the potential to be upgraded to mid-grade weapons.

When Yun Yifei first saw the finely crafted willow-leaf curved swords in Shang Xi's hands, she was quite surprised and even a bit envious. Now, with the upgrade, she could only admire Shang Xi's good fortune.

With the Green Copper ball, Shang Xi was in high spirits and immediately urged everyone to mount their horses. "Let's go, let's go, hurry up and try to kill a few more isolated Martial Intent Realm warriors."

However, before Shang Xi finished speaking, he suddenly felt the sky behind him brighten.

When everyone turned to look, they saw a round moon falling from the sky a few miles away, followed by a strong ground tremor and dust rising into the air.

When the dust settled, a large circular pit had appeared on the road leading to the Four Spirit Mountain.

Seeing this, Shang Xi and the others quickly mounted their horses and fled back towards Tongyou Peak.

Behind them, a sword light
