Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

The airship collided with the enemy, causing a violent tremor. The passengers in the cabin also felt a slight tremor and were eager to know what had happened.

The defiant hand armor rubbed against the airship's ship armor, sparking intensely. At that moment, a blurry figure appeared in the sky, accompanied by a strange cry that made all the creatures inside the airship feel its sharp scream.

"What was that terrifying sound just now?"

"Are we going to die?"

"It's all over, it's all over! I was planning a vacation to the southern continent!"

……

The passengers panicked, and the goblin staff could only try to calm them down. Erifil stayed in her cabin, quietly praying that everything would pass safely.

"Report! The airship is veering off course!"

"What? That's great!"

The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the lord was helping, but forcibly deviating from the airship's course required a force that ordinary people could not achieve.

If it weren't for the rebellious spirit, Qin Yu would have had a hard time causing the airship to deviate from its course; at most, he could have helped the airship crash earlier with a single sword strike.

"The direction has shifted; now all we need to do is attract the feathered serpent's attention..."

Having reached Tier 7 and awakened his Destiny Treasure, Qin Yu can fly, but to be honest, he doesn't like fighting in the air.

His self-created sword techniques are powerful because they rely on the earth's power to remain undefeated while standing on the ground, but this is not the case in the air.

"There's no other way, we have to attack..."

The Heavenly Principle was unsheathed and flew fiercely towards the feathered serpent that was absorbing the power of the heavens. It let out a scream that almost shattered the eardrums of everyone else.

The feathered serpent had locked onto Qin Yu and launched a fierce attack, with thunder and lightning storms hurtling towards him.

Rumble!

Lightning flashed, trapping Qin Yu within the domain set up by the feathered serpent. This creature that rules the sky will unleash its full fury upon humanity.

"This is troublesome..."

Qin Yu transformed Tianli into a heavy sword form. It must be said that the swordsmanship he inherited from the Fire Sword Saint was indeed a valuable skill, allowing him to easily handle various troubles.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent storms continued to appear within the domain, constantly shrinking Qin Yu's range of movement. At the same time, the feathered serpent was surrounded by a powerful electric net, making it impossible for Qin Yu to get close to it.

"Sword Saint of the Flame and Fire King, please lend me another hand..."

With the divine sword domain unleashed, Qin Yu's attack this time was far more powerful than his previous battle against Hei Ye, but whether it would be effective remained to be seen.

The towering flames illuminated the dim sky, shattering the domain set up by the feathered serpent. However, the feathered serpent was not seriously injured. The power of Qin Yu's sword technique was transferred to the sky by the feathered serpent, and the sky automatically repaired itself after being attacked.

"Relying on the heavens for a living is much better than relying on the land for a living..."

It's frustrating; the feathered serpent is just such a bug.

"Master, try using your newly acquired sword technique inheritance..." Zero reminded Qin Yu at this moment.

"..."

Zero was referring to the legacy that Tianyue left for Qin Yu, but Qin Yu instinctively wanted to forget about it, after all, he was the one who had wronged Tianyue.

"I understand..." Since things had come to this point, Qin Yu didn't care about anything else. But it wouldn't do to leave some things unused.

The Heavenly Principle transformed into the longsword Qin Yu wielded, and at the same time, the figure of a young girl appeared behind Qin Yu.

She will fight alongside Qin Yu, following his every move.

"Slash through the air!"

The two unleashed their combined sword strikes, which converged and coalesced into an even more powerful sword aura, shattering the lightning barrier that Feathered Serpent had just erected.

"Shattered Moon!"

"Meteor!"

Two more, even more powerful sword moves followed, and the feathered serpent, struck by the blows, cried out in agony.

He howled, but no matter how serious his injuries were, they would heal quickly, and at the same time, the power of most of his sword moves was transferred to the sky.

To defeat it, one must unleash power sufficient to cleave the heavens.

The afterimage of Tianyue grasped the Heavenly Principle in Qin Yu's hand, and the two figures overlapped. Although Qin Yu could not swing that sword now, he could try with the help of Tianyue.

"The Seventh Sword: Heaven Opening".

Wu Ni only saw a beam of white light illuminating the surrounding area for thousands of miles. At the same time, the violent impact blasted the airship and her away. Wu Ni managed to regain her balance, but the airship was already out of control and about to crash.

"not good……"

The Fierce Rebellion, flying at full speed, arrived below the airship. With all its power on, it slowed the airship's descent. The passengers inside were already crying in panic, while the goblins in the cockpit could only pray that they would survive.

Besides them, there was another figure falling rapidly. Qin Yu, who had unleashed the Heaven-Opening Sword, lost consciousness and slowly fell. He had already killed the Feathered Serpent, but he no longer had the strength to stay in the air.

"Congratulations, Master, on completing the mission by slaying the Feathered Serpent. You will now receive the high-level beast core dropped by the Feathered Serpent, as well as a portion of its power..."

As Zero narrated, Qin Yu's descent slowed. At the same time, a transparent feathered serpent was circling around him. The serpent entered Qin Yu's body, and at that moment, Qin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his body frozen in mid-air.

"What's going on here?"

Qin Yu discovered that he could move freely in the air without any restrictions.

"Because you killed that feathered serpent, you gained some of its power. At the same time, your swordsmanship will be elevated, allowing you to draw upon not only the earth but also the sky..."

Chapter 210 The Threat of the Desert Empire

With the help of the rebels, the crashed airship floated safely on the sea. Although the airship could no longer fly, it was not a problem to continue sailing at sea, as long as their previous claims about the airship's functions were not false.

Are we saved?

The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the clear sky outside. He was truly blessed with good fortune. The other goblins embraced each other and wept with joy.

The passengers immediately ran out of the hall and onto the deck to get some fresh air. Eriphile also came out, and by this time, Nie Nie had returned to his normal attire and came to Eriphile's side.

"You stubborn wretch, are you hurt?" Elifiel asked worriedly.

"It's alright, Miss..."

What Wuni is worried about now is whether Qin Yu is alright, after all, he is facing a legendary ninth-order feathered serpent, a creature that dominates the sky, and the intense white light earlier was produced by the battle between the two sides.

However, the fact that his connection with Qin Yu had not been severed meant that Qin Yu was not in any danger.

"I wonder if Master is alright..." Elliefeld was also worried about Qin Yu, who had disappeared without a trace.

pat!

Ariel felt a tap on the head from behind, and she quickly turned around.

"Of course I'm fine, how could anything be wrong with me..."

It was Qin Yu who knocked on her, but his clothes were a little disheveled. There was nothing he could do; the feathered serpent's power was simply too strong, and it was aerial combat, which Qin Yu hated the most.

"Master!" Erifil rushed up and hugged Qin Yu.

It was a close call, but Qin Yu gained quite a bit. He no longer needs to worry about aerial combat; now he can transfer damage not only to the ground but also to the sky.

They also obtained a precious high-level beast core, which can truly be described as priceless.

Inside the cockpit, the person in charge almost knelt down when he saw Qin Yu arrive.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your help. Without you, we would not have been able to escape this perilous situation. To express our gratitude for saving our lives, all your future travel expenses with the Goblin Merchant Guild will be waived..."

The person in charge has reported the incident to headquarters. Although he was punished, it's good that he's alive. At the same time, headquarters has decided to grant Qin Yu some privileges from the local elite business association as a reward.

"Let's put these aside for now. Do you recognize this?"

Qin Yu took out the high-grade beast core. The person in charge stared at it intently, his eyes widening. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

"Could it be that, my lord, you just... gave that feathered serpent..."

The person in charge immediately realized the truth: this human had indeed managed to defeat a ninth-tier feathered serpent, proving that he was capable of fighting the Night Sword Saint to a standstill...

"incredible……"

Looking at the red, high-grade beast core, the person in charge shook his head. "Does Your Lordship intend to sell this item at the Goblin Merchant Guild?"

"Pretty much, but I also have conditions..."

This is why Qin Yu came to find the goblin. Although high-level beast cores are important materials for making high-level aptitude enhancement potions, their value is also immeasurable, so Qin Yu wants to maximize their value.

For example, you could auction it off at a high price, then tell the buyer that you can help them concoct a potion to improve their aptitude, and then sell it for a good price.

"Of course, no problem. Once we arrive in the Southern Continent, we'll immediately contact the Goblin Merchant Guild there and handle it for you!"

The person in charge readily agreed to Qin Yu's request. After that, the airship sailing at sea finally arrived at the southern continent after a day and a night of travel.

Although it was quite late, it's good that we arrived safely.

"I'm back!" Erifil exclaimed as she stepped ashore.

She stretched and yawned. Returning to the southern continent filled her with mixed feelings. The outside world was interesting, but in the end, home was still the best place.

The southern continent has an arid climate and is mostly covered by desert. The Alchemy Alliance occupies the oasis region, while the Desert Empire occupies the desert region. The two sides have some trade relations, but they are not very friendly.

The Alchemy Alliance's special status made it highly coveted by the Desert Empire. Their technology and geographical location were exactly what the Desert Empire needed. Unfortunately, the Alchemy Alliance was not weak.

This is precisely why the evil god had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The Desert Empire has now made a deal with the evil god, obtained the evil god's power, and is preparing to launch an attack on the Alchemy Alliance.

The king of the desert empire is named Nubis. His army is skilled in fighting on the sand. Having obtained the power of the evil god, they also gained the ability to revive the dead. This gave them enough cannon fodder troops to wage a war of attrition against the Alchemy Alliance's army.

Qin Yu and Ariel were heading directly to the Alchemy Alliance, so the goblins provided Qin Yu with a sand vehicle that could travel in the desert, allowing them to reach the oasis region where the Alchemy Alliance was located more quickly.

Sitting in the dune buggy, surrounded by howling sand, Erifil became increasingly excited. She couldn't help it; she loved the thrill of it all. She hadn't been able to enjoy it before, but now she could.

"Ailifil, how much do you know about the Desert Empire?"

Qin Yu then began asking Erifil questions.

"Hmm... I've only met people from the Desert Empire a few times. They have bronze skin and look very greasy..."

This was Elifiel's most direct impression of the people of the Desert Empire. "However, last time I saw a little girl who wore a veil, she was quite cute..."

"..."

Qin Yu didn't ask any more questions. The Desert Empire had already colluded with the Evil God, and staying here would inevitably mean helping the Alchemy Alliance solve the Desert Empire's problems.
