Chapter 90

After the swallow was killed and Yu Wensheng was injured and fled, the Four Spirits Mountain side had already lost.

The reason the battle continued was that several Fourth Heaven martial artists needed to hold back Ji Wenlong and others from the Tranquil Peak to buy time for the lower and middle-rank martial artists to retreat from the Tranquil Peak's outer protective array.

However, the Tranquil Peak's response was also swift. As soon as the Four Spirits Mountain side showed signs of defeat, they quickly turned to counterattack, firmly biting down on a part of the Four Spirits Mountain martial artists, and in the process of pursuing and killing, thoroughly mixed with them.

In the sky, under the leadership of Deputy Mountain Masters Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo, the Tranquil Peak's several Fourth Heaven martial artists were in high spirits, beating Lang Xiaoyun and others to a sorry state.

In desperation, these people could no longer care about the martial artists on their side who were being held back. Lang Xiaoyun directly used the Moon Ring to fall to the ground, creating a ring-shaped deep pit dozens of feet deep, blocking and intimidating the pursuing Tranquil Peak martial artists.

On the other side, Ran Biro, who had a moment of respite thanks to Lu Zhan's wings, immediately used the Seven-Spiral Sword to cut down from a distance, creating a canyon several miles long on the ground, spanning the path of the Tranquil Peak martial artists' pursuit.

Subsequently, Ran Biro, gathering his courage, finally struck a sword at Shang Bo's position.

Although Shang Bo easily deflected it, it allowed Lang Xiaoyun to seize the opportunity and use the Four-Edged Whip to destroy a mountain several hundred feet high, and the collapsing earth and rocks also blocked several paths around.

The three Fourth Heaven martial artists successively took action to hold back, indeed delaying the Tranquil Peak's pursuit, but also greatly reduced the chances of survival for the dozens of Four Spirits Mountain martial artists left behind.

Moreover, at the place where the Moon Ring fell into the valley, the long sword split the cliff, and the iron whip destroyed the mountain, more than ten martial artists were caught up in the chaos, including both Tranquil Peak and Four Spirits Mountain martial artists. Regardless of their cultivation, none of them had any hope of survival.

Liu Qinglan shouted in the sky: "You actually attacked lower-rank martial artists!"

"Rubbish, which eye did you see us deliberately kill? Those who died were just unlucky, caught in the aftermath of the Fourth Heaven martial artists' battle!"

Lu Zhan, with a pair of wings on his back, was extremely agile, giving him a significant advantage in the battle.

Just now, he created an opportunity for Ran Biro, and despite being at the same First Layer of the Fourth Heaven cultivation, he managed to hold back Liu Qinglan and Shang Lubing.

"Good aftermath indeed!"

Shang Bo roared, feinting a spear at Ran Biro, then suddenly swung the long spear downward with such force that it bent backward, and the air it passed through was ignited, forming a scorching white tail flame, striking down on Lang Xiaoyun's head.

Lang Xiaoyun's face turned pale, and he had no time to dodge, so he had to raise the Four-Edged Whip to block the attack.

"Clang—"

The sound of metal clashing echoed in the sky, and a huge ring-shaped shock wave shattered the clouds again.

The fierce force made Lang Xiaoyun's face turn white, his internal energy fluctuated, and his mouth was filled with the taste of rust.

At the same time, Lang Xiaoyun's body suddenly sank in the sky, and he seemed to realize what Shang Bo was trying to do, struggling to stabilize himself.

However, despite his efforts, his body still sank over a hundred feet in mid-air.

But the aftermath of Shang Bo's attack did not stop there, directly affecting the ground, causing it to sink several feet, forming a strip-shaped deep pit dozens of feet long and wide.

At this moment, three or four Four Spirits Mountain martial artists were retreating and passing through here. Two Wu Yuan realm martial artists were immediately crushed into meat paste, a Wu Ji realm martial artist was buried in the ground, and it was clear he would not survive.

The only Wu Yi realm martial artist managed to escape under the pressure from the sky, but his凝聚的武道意志已经溃散，将来不知道能恢复多少。

要知道，在四位四重天武者先后出手阻拦通幽峰武者的追击，并为己方武者拖延时间之后，这几位四灵山的武者也开始在天际高空边战边走，向四灵山方向退却。

也就是说，此时这几位四重天武者大战的位置，同样在地面上四灵山武者撤退路线的上空。

“好，这个办法不错！”

柳青蓝和尚履冰见状纷纷效仿。

鹿展翼本就以身形灵动与这二人周旋，但现在二人也不顾元气浪费，武技、神通一股脑打出，哪怕大部分甚至都摸不到鹿展翼的衣角，但这些武技、神通的余波从天际浩荡而下，将地面彻底犁了一遍，也不知道有多少人死伤在这些余波之下。

就算没死的，此时也在这一波四重天高手的肆意“狂轰滥炸”之下，被惊得四处乱窜，漫天遍野跑得到处都是。

无奈之下，鹿展翼也不敢再在半空之中乱窜，面对柳、尚二人的攻势，只能硬着头皮尽可能地挡下来，于是马上便被二人联手打得差点口吐鲜血，连忙向围攻商博的冉碧罗求救。

四灵山一方的几位四重天惊怒交加，被气得咆哮连连，奈何此时却被通幽峰一方全方位压制，又是己方先起的一个坏头，最终搬起了石头砸了自己的脚。

……

商溪和云亦菲带着众人一口气跑出了三四里，直到脱离了三大四重天高手出手造成的余波，这才缓缓停了下来。

望着远处的深坑、裂谷和断山，商夏不由咂舌：“四重天武者的破坏力竟然达到如斯境界，三重天和四重天之间的实力差距真的很大吗？”

商溪不满道：“小子，我怎么听着你的口气像是看不起三重天的武者，嗯？”

商夏连忙称不敢。

云亦菲知道这姑侄二人在开玩笑，遂道：“那接下来怎么办？前路阻塞，我们短时间内恐怕是追不上去了，剩下的这些人还不够其他人杀的。”

在三位四重天高手出手之前，四灵山一些留在后面断后的武意境高手应当已经接到了暗示，纷纷舍了对手夺命狂奔。

三位四重天高手出手之后，被留在最后面的几十位四灵山武者，多数都是一、二重天的武者，对于商溪、云亦菲等三重天的高手而言，已经是杀鸡用牛刀了。

商溪道：“要不我们绕开眼前这些阻碍？左右不过浪费一个时辰左右的时间罢了。”

云亦菲摇头道：“一个时辰足够他们逃出很远了，就算我们有赤云兽，也未必能够追得上，况且现在他们暂时摆脱了我方的追踪，肯定会重新组织起来，如果我们贸然追上去，反倒会落入他们的埋伏。”

商夏这个时候却突然笑道：“我有办法能让我们避开这些埋伏！”

云亦菲和孙海薇都有些诧异地看向商夏，不知道他的信心从何而来。

唯有商溪却是一副若有所思的模样，道：“你真能做到？”

商夏笃定地点了点头。

商溪见状便向云亦菲和孙海薇道：“可以一试！”

说罢，不等二人详询，商溪便又看向了一路以来很少言语的燕七，道：“七哥，你先回通幽峰，我听说泉哥在品心峰上受了点伤，可能需要你帮衬一二。”

“好！”

燕七点了点头，然后翻身下马道：“赤云兽留给你们，我徒步回去！”

商夏在马上道：“七叔，小心一些！”

燕七朝商夏笑了笑，转身大步离开。

燕七离开之后，商溪又看向云亦菲道：“菲姐，这附近可有你家的子弟？”

云亦菲会意道：“我找一找！”

燕七已经暴露了其血脉武者的身份，而且明显还是风燕部族的“嫡血”。

而且之前冲下通幽峰追杀四灵山的武者时，应当有不少人已经看到和猜到了燕七的身份，这个时候再让他远离通幽峰并不安全。

不一会儿，云亦菲带着一个二十出头的女孩走来。

“云之黛，我四哥的女儿，武极境第一层大成，算是迈进了第二层的门槛，后半年便要进入学院上舍了。”云亦菲向众人介绍道。

商夏闻言多看了此女两眼，却发现这女孩的目光也正停留在他的身上。

“就这样吧，事不宜迟，我们尽快绕过去！”

燕七的离开和云之黛的加入，虽然让小队的整体实力有所下降，但实际并不明显。

原因在于之前燕七血脉武者的身份，在处于阵势当中的时候，他的元气显得与其他人有些格格不入，在一定程度上削弱了巡骑小队的整体实力。

云之黛实力虽然远不及燕七，但她却能够完美地融入到巡骑小队之中，使得云亦菲和商溪自信四重天以下的武者，他们尽可从容应对。

一行五人绕开了四重天武者设下的路障，找到了四灵山武者撤退的大致方向。

云亦菲似笑非笑地看向商夏，道：“小夏，接下来就要看你的了！”

商夏点了点头，一边策马继续前进，一边将两根手指含在口中发出一声响亮的唿哨。

众人不明所以，继续策马前行。

过不得片刻，商夏再次发出了一声响亮的唿哨。

云亦菲有些惊讶地问道：“你这是在召唤什么东西？”

商夏点了点头，过了一会儿，再次仰头发出第三声唿哨。

哨声刚落不久，一声清越的长鸣突然从远处的山林之间传来。

众人闻声望去时，就见得一道银芒从林间飞掠而出，瞬息之间便已经来到众人近前。

商溪和云亦菲正要戒备，却见商夏笑着扬起了手臂，道：“来了！”

银芒电闪而至，孙海薇和云之黛两位武极境武者甚至来不及做出任何反应，便见得商夏抬起的手臂上落下了一只神骏非凡的巨型雨燕。

“这是雷鸟？”

孙海薇有些奇怪地望着已经跳到商夏肩膀，顾盼生威的神骏大鸟，道：“我曾远远见到过雷鸟，这一只似乎要大得多！”
