Although Chen Xuan’s mana was nearly exhausted, he held a top-grade spirit stone in his hand, drawing a constant stream of energy from it. Even with a Tier 6 demon warrior in pursuit, he remained entirely composed.
The flight speed he achieved by maneuvering the Phoenix Feather was comparable to that of a Void Return cultivator; thus, it was impossible for a Tier 6 demon warrior to catch up to him in the short term. As long as he reached the islands occupied by the Lingbo Sect and the other Zuzhou sects, any demon daring to continue the pursuit would be throwing their life away.
Chen Xuan urged the Phoenix Feather to its maximum speed without even glancing back. The Golden Shrimp warrior behind him rode the waves with a water-based escape technique, yet was unable to close the distance at all, leaving the demon seething with rage. Indeed, the one pursuing Chen Xuan was a high-ranking general of the Golden Shrimp tribe who had received reports of the incident. Like the Sea Lizard general Chili, whom Shen Binglan had encountered before, he was a Tier 6 warrior. While overseas demon tribes could travel much faster using water-based arts than common beasts, they still could not outpace Chen Xuan; the negligible distance gained was essentially irrelevant.
