Chapter 86 Spring Hunting in the Hundred Mountains (26)
Seeing the blood-colored phantom like a dragon chasing Wu Hao, Xu Yan, Zhou Yu and others present were undoubtedly shocked. However, compared to them, Xu Yan was facing a much more dangerous situation at this moment, because Zhou Xian's sword energy was approaching him at this time and was slashing hard at his head.
With the power of this sword, Xu Yan did not dare to be careless at all. He immediately controlled his martial arts true energy and formed a light shield as thick as a city wall to block him.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang.
The blood-colored sword energy and his true qi shield collapsed and exploded at the same time, turning into countless gorgeous star dots, dissipating one by one in the air. Then, Xu Yan's body was shocked by the aftermath of the sword energy and retreated, smashing hard on the huge rock behind him.
Xu Yan covered his chest and couldn't help but vomit a scarlet red with a "pop".
"What the hell is that? Why can't I feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy in it?"
Almost at the same time, after seeing Wu Hao running towards this side, the disciples of Yunlan Sect, Zhou Xian and others waited to attack.
Zhou Yu's face was slightly pale at this moment. Using his own essence and blood to activate the sword to use that sword was a secret method of the Zhou family. For him, this secret method could temporarily improve his strength, but it would still be a considerable burden afterwards. However, when he saw that he had severely injured Xu Yan with one sword, he felt that it was worth it to spend this little price.
Wu Hao's running speed was very fast. If he really wanted to find a reference to compare it, it was that he was faster than an ordinary horse when he ran with all his might. Therefore, when he turned out of the mountain bay, he was approaching everyone present in just a few breaths.
When Yan Ziyi saw his senior brother, he looked like he was running away in a hurry. He was naturally cautious and immediately prepared to apply oil to the soles of his feet at any time and escape.
Wu Hao glanced back at the blood cloud behind him that was ejected from the water monster and kept approaching him, without stopping at all. He immediately shouted to his disciple Yan Ziyi, his disciple, and said, "I'm still standing there, why are you running!"
Seeing that Wu Hao's expression was so anxious, Yan Ziyi didn't ask much, but glanced at Xu Yan, who seemed to be seriously injured not far away, and stopped too much and just followed the former and retreated wildly.
Seeing that everyone was retreating in an instant, and Yan Ziyi retreated early, Xu Yan could only sigh helplessly. Obviously, this time, his plan to kill the other party was ruined again. After everyone retreated, he quickly called Cai Zhenjing, who was hiding behind the huge rock, and said, "Don't hide anymore, come out quickly, those people have already withdrawn, we have to retreat quickly."
After hearing this, Cai Zhenjing immediately walked out of the back of the huge rock, but her eyes did not gather on the blood cloud that was approaching her, but passed it with great sadness and looked further north.
Since seeing Wu Hao escape from there, she never saw her senior sister and the others. Cai Zhenjing vaguely guessed that they must be in danger. This was a disaster-like result that she had never expected, and it was also a situation she could not imagine, because the first mission was only carried out in this spring hunt. Among the twenty disciples she sent by Baihe Jianzhuang this time, except for herself, she was wiped out. The most tragic thing is that the reason why she survived was because Xu Yan of the Lotus Sect, the mortal enemy of her sect, rescued her twice in a row.
"Don't be stunned. If you don't want to die, bring this veil and follow me closely."
Seeing Xu Yan throwing a piece of cloth over, Cai Zhenjing looked at him hesitantly, but after seeing the other party covering such a piece of cloth on her face, she no longer hesitated and immediately covered the veil on her face.
There is a faint medicinal fragrance in the veil, which is exactly the aura similar to the poison avoidance pill, but compared with the poison avoidance pill, this medicinal property seems to be much stronger.
"run!"
Seeing that the other party had tied his veil, Xu Yan immediately shouted coldly, and then ran away. After seeing this, Cai Zhenjing was as light as a swallow and quickly followed.
"What is the monster behind you?" Xu Yan couldn't help but ask Xiao Cai in his consciousness as he ran to the south quickly.
Xiao Cai could not feel the breath of creatures in this blood cloud, but with its instinctive perception of danger, it could sense that there was an extremely terrifying aura in this blood cloud. It hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully: "I don't know what that is, but I think you'd better not let it catch up, otherwise we will definitely be done."
When Xu Yan heard this, he said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Otherwise, what am I going to run away now?"
“…”
Two hours later, the blood cloud in the air was still chasing him relentlessly, but Xu Yan and Cai Zhenjing, who were not too far behind Zhou Yu and others, also almost escaped from the evil stream.
Two familiar stalagmites fell back into Xu Yan's eyes, but just like Zhou Yu and others, he did not stop at all and continued to run southward.
Seeing Xu Yan, who was only about a hundred feet away from him, Zhou Xian looked very ugly. If he hadn't been afraid of the unknown blood cloud, he would have wanted to turn around and kill him immediately and chop him up, his life-and-death enemy, to pieces. Otherwise, when he escaped and meet with Chen Qinghe and others, he might have to have more uncontrollable changes.
Zhou Xian couldn't help but ask Wu Hao who was leading the way in front: "Brother Wu, I don't know what kind of monster this blood cloud that looks like a dragon behind is, and why I can't feel any breath at all on it."
When Wu Hao heard this, he only flashed a trace of fear in his thick eyebrows and big eyes, and replied truthfully: "I don't know either."
When Zhou Xian heard this answer, his face immediately became very ugly and said coldly: "Brother Wu is joking? Since you don't know what this is, why do you want us to run away again? Then Xu Yan is only a hundred feet behind our butts. With such a great opportunity, why don't we join forces to kill him first?"
Seeing that Zhou Xian seemed quite dissatisfied with his answer, Wu Hao couldn't help but raise the thick eyebrows growing on the eyebrows, and replied stubbornly: "Then you go by yourself, why did I force you to run away with me?"
Zhou Yu, who was following, saw Zhou Xian's face rising with anger and wanted to say something. He immediately stopped him and snatched the words and apologized to Wu Hao: "Brother Wu, please don't be upset. My third brother has always been upright and doesn't know how to talk. Don't be calculating with him." Then, he couldn't help but turn his head and glar at Zhou Xian, and then continued to say to Wu Hao: "But I think even if Brother Wu doesn't know what it is, it's still..."
When Wu Hao saw Zhou Yu stand up and lower his posture to smooth things down, his mood was already a little annoyed. However, he naturally knew what the other party wanted to ask, so he interrupted him and said, "I can't recognize what kind of water monster that is, but I can tell you clearly that this blood cloud is just a natal true energy that has reached at least level seven. If you want to die, you can turn back and fight to the death with that Xu Yan, but if you want me to take this risk with you, you don't even think about it. Besides, our Chenyang Sect has taken a lot of benefits to your Zhou family, but among the two conditions I promised you before, we have already completed the requirement of killing the disciples of Baihe Jianzhuang for you. But I hope you can figure out one thing, that is, to complete your plan in advance, our Chenyang Sect also lost 18 lives for it!"
At this moment, Wu Hao had already learned from Yan Ziyi that, except for him and the latter, the other eighteen people in his sect had died tragically in this mountain and river. Although the disciples of Chenyang Sect who participated in this spring hunting were not very important core disciples except Wu Hao himself, this result still made him feel very dissatisfied.
Seeing that the other party scolded him without saying a word, Zhou Yu was naturally very unhappy. After all, whether it was comparing identity or status between him and Wu Hao, he was actually not inferior to the latter. If he had not relied on the other party to deal with the disciples of the Lotus Sect in the future, he really didn't want to be so cowardly.
Zhou Yu couldn't help sneering in his heart. He naturally thought about the plan of asking the other party to destroy Baihe Sword Village in advance. After all, before setting off, Chenyang Sect was still sandwiched between Yunlan Sect and Baihe Sword Village. He was a swaying neutral faction. If the other party offered a higher price than his side, it was his Yunlan Sect that might be dealt with.
Fortunately, in this silent secret battle, Baihe Jianzhuang still focused its focus on dealing with the Lotus Sect as always. It seemed that they would take the lead in attacking them.
Zhou Yu suppressed the resentment in his heart and tried to keep his tone calmer. Then he replied: "I had to let Brother Wu deal with the disciples of Baihe Jianzhuang in advance this time, but Brother Wu, please rest assured that the loss of your sect this time is that as long as my Yunlan Sect can finally win the Lotus Sect, my Zhou family will make sufficient compensation to your sect."
Seeing that the other party repeatedly gave in, Wu Hao stopped being tempted and replied with a slight tone: "That would be great. Otherwise, I would have brought twenty people out to participate in spring hunting this time, but only two people left to go back alive. I would not be able to explain to my father."
...
Enter the area of Mount Cheng.
With Xu Yan and Cai Zhenjing galloping with all their might, they rushed from the border to the narrow valley, but it only took half a quarter of an hour. If they were walking normally, this distance would actually take about half an hour. After the two entered the valley one after another, Xu Yan couldn't help but glance back because he suddenly wanted to see how the blood cloud monster behind him, which had been chasing him for several hours and was very huge, could pass through this narrow valley.
So he then saw a very shocking scene.
As he thought, this huge body of blood cloud could not completely pass through this narrow valley. Therefore, it could only hit the entrance of the valley in a very rough manner.
"Boom!"
A huge sound, along with echoes, resounded throughout the entire valley.
Xu Yan looked at this scene in shock, never expecting such a violent and direct ending.
Countless sand and stones and dust kept rolling and falling from the entrance, and the collision of blood clouds seemed to drive the entire mountain and river to shake.
Xu Yan was suffering from the gravel that kept falling on his body above his head, and did not care too much, because he immediately saw the blood cloud shattering and then turned into a red fog that kept rolling like thick smoke.
"It's red fog, it's red fog!"
Before Xu Yan could speak, Xiaocai's almost trembling voice rang out in his consciousness. She continued to exclaim: "No wonder it gave me a terrifying feeling before. I didn't expect it to be condensed into its original form by the monster in Mitsui Creek. Oh my God, fortunately you ran fast enough, otherwise if you were entangled by this thing, we would all die."
After seeing the red fog, Xu Yan accelerated his speed again and ran forward. At this moment, without Xiao Cai's reminder, he also felt a terrifying aura in this blood-colored fog that made him very afraid.
After the red fog dissipated, there was still no sign of stopping. It rushed towards Xu Yan and Cai Zhenjing who were running forward. Wherever it passed, it instantly occupied the entire valley.
Unlike the previous blood cloud that restrained all the dangerous aura, the red mist drifted out an indescribable fragrance after it spread. However, Xu Yan did not dare to sniff this smell rashly. According to Xiao Cai, this red mist is the most violent poisonous mist that a monster in Mitsui Creek can emit. Even after entering level 5, she would never dare to get any contaminated. Therefore, this made Xu Yan, who had an extremely mysterious long Bible, not want to take too many fearless risks in this situation in front of her.
Seeing that he was about to rush out of the valley, Xu Yan suddenly turned his head and sent a voice to Cai Zhenjing behind him, saying, "After rushing out of the valley later, remember not to take the same route with me. Remember, you must separate the direction of your running from me."
Cai Zhenjing didn't understand why he asked her to do this, but just nodded with a serious expression.
...
On the other end of the valley, it truly belongs to the hinterland of the northern part of the Dingbei Mountain.
Long before Xu Yan and Cai Zhenjing entered this valley, Zhou Yu and others successfully passed the entire valley. However, they were undoubtedly the same as Xu Yan's idea, they wanted to see if the blood cloud could pass through this valley, so they stopped after passing the valley. But the reason was nothing more than to know that if the blood cloud really could not follow them through this valley, then when Xu Yan came out, this place would become his burial place.
However, just after they had just stopped for a few breaths, agile figure wearing the costumes of Lotus Sect disciples rushed out of the valley.
Zhou Xian, who was in the dense forest, had his eyes firmly locked on the running figure, but saw a veil on the other party's face. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Can you hide your identity by covering a piece of rag on your face?"
Immediately afterwards, another figure, also wearing the costumes of a disciple of the Lotus Sect, followed, but it was obvious that the figure behind the person who rushed out of the valley was not only much smaller than Xu Yan running in front, but also her body movements and steps when she ran were lighter and more erratic than the former, and these characteristics undoubtedly showed that this person was a female disciple.
Zhou Xian looked at the woman with a clever look, but found that she was also covered with a veil on her face. This made Zhou Xian, who thought she was Qiu Yuanjin, suddenly stunned. After he saw the other party's eyes thoroughly, he felt in his heart that this woman seemed to be Qiu Yuanjin.
"who is she?"
This is the biggest question that filled Zhou Xian's mind at this moment. He knew very well that in the list of spring hunting sent by the Lotus Sect this time, there were only two female disciples among the twenty people, one was Qiu Yuanjin of the Dongzi Sect, and the other was an outer disciple who belonged to the Chunzi Sect with him.
"Is she Gu Xueqing?"
"boom!"
A shock sound!
Before Zhou Xian could figure out the truth, Wu Hao, who was waiting for Xu Yan to rush out from a distance, punched the latter's head, who was running quickly.
He did not hide his weakness in this punch.
Therefore, a ray of orange-red light immediately shines in this dense forest.
Xu Yan felt the heavy martial arts aura as heavy as a mountain attacking him, but the face hidden under the veil was still calm. Then, he seemed to have long expected to extend his right hand, which was also bent into a fist, and faced the opponent's attack.
Use martial arts true qi to fight martial arts true qi.
The two fist shadows collided quickly in the air and then exploded suddenly.
The two rays of orange and gold are like the morning sun and the midday sun blooming in the forest at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful wave of air started from the explosion of both fists and swept away in all directions, rolling up countless rotten and dead leaves on the ground.
The dead leaves floating in the air waves turn into powder in an instant.
There was a strong wind blowing violently in the dense forest, causing countless green leaves that were still hanging on the branches to rustle.
Almost everyone could not open their eyes when they were shining with these two dazzling and dazzling lights, but they all clearly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Only a "bang" sound was heard.
Xu Yan's body fell heavily to the ground like a puppet flying backwards, and rolled out more than ten feet uncontrollably. However, after the rolling, he did not faint, but instead took advantage of the remaining power brought to him by Wu Hao in this punch, and he stood up after rolling and rushed to everyone's front.
He glanced at the valley and was told to choose another direction, and alertly bypassed the battle circle between him and Wu Hao. Finally, he rushed directly to Cai Zhenjing, who was even more in front of him. His steps did not stop at all. He caught up with her and shouted to him, "Run quickly!"
Seeing this sudden change, Zhou Yu and others were undoubtedly stunned. Among them, Wu Hao's face turned pale because he used at least 80% of his skills in this punch, but not only did he not kill this guy named Xu Yan with one punch, but instead he leveraged his power to surpass everyone.
"Chasing me!" Zhou Yu, who was the first to react, shouted loudly.
But before they could get up, a bloody wave of mist rolled out like a mountain torrent in the deep valley behind them.
Chapter completed!
