Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Lingzhou Chapter 86 Spring Hunting in the Hundred Mountains (Twenty-six)

Seeing the blood-colored dragon-like phantom frantically chasing after Wu Hao, Xu Yan, as well as Zhou Yu and the others who were present, were undoubtedly shocked, but compared to them, the situation Xu Yan was facing at the moment was much more dangerous, because Zhou Xian's sword qi was already close to him at this time, and it was slashing towards his head.

In the face of the power of this sword, Xu Yan did not dare to be careless, and immediately controlled his martial arts true qi, forming a light shield as thick as a city wall, blocking in front of him.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang.

The blood-colored sword qi and his true qi shield cracked and exploded at the same time, turning into brilliant countless star spots, dissipating into the air one by one, and then, Xu Yan's body was shocked by the aftermath of the sword qi and flew out, smashing the boulder behind him.

Xu Yan covered his chest, and with a "poof", he couldn't help but spit out a touch of scarlet.

"What the hell is that, and why can't I feel the slightest aura fluctuation on it?"

Almost at the same time, after seeing Wu Hao's figure running frantically towards this side, the disciples of the Yunlan Sect and Zhou Xian and the others all waited for the attack.

Zhou Yu's face was slightly pale at the moment, and he used his own essence and blood to urge the sword to use that sword, which was the secret method of his Zhou family, for him, this secret method could temporarily improve his strength, but it would also have a lot of load afterwards, but after seeing that he had seriously injured Xu Yan with a sword, he felt that it was worth spending this price.

Wu Hao's galloping speed was very fast, if there was really a reference to compare, it was that he was faster than ordinary horses when they were running at full strength, so when he turned out of the mountain bay, it was only a few breaths, and he was already close to everyone present.

When Yan Ziyi saw his senior brother, he also looked like he was running away in a hurry at the moment, and he was cautious by nature, so he was immediately ready to smear oil on the soles of his feet at any time and slip away.

Wu Hao glanced back at the blood cloud sprayed out by the water monster behind him and kept approaching him, his footsteps did not stop at all, and immediately shouted to Yan Ziyi, a disciple of the same sect, and said, "Still stunned, run!"

Seeing that Wu Hao's face was so anxious, Yan Ziyi didn't ask much, just glanced at Xu Yan, who seemed to be seriously injured not far away, and didn't stay too long, and directly followed the former and retreated wildly.

Seeing that everyone was retreating almost instantly, plus that Yan Ziyi had already retreated early, Xu Yan could only sigh helplessly, obviously this time, his plan to kill the other party had come to naught again, and after everyone had retreated, he quickly called out Cai Zhenjing, who was hiding behind the boulder, and said: "No need to hide anymore, come out quickly, those people have already withdrawn, and we have to withdraw quickly." ”

When Cai Zhenjing heard this, she immediately walked out from behind the boulder, but instead of focusing on the blood cloud that was approaching her, she swept over it very sadly, looking farther to the north.

Since seeing Wu Hao escape from there, but never seeing her senior sister, Cai Zhenjing vaguely guessed that they must have been more than lucky, this is a catastrophic result that she never expected, and it is also a situation that she can't imagine, because this spring hunt has only reached the first task, among the twenty disciples sent by her White Crane Sword Village this time, except for herself, the whole army has been wiped out, and the saddest thing is that the reason why she survived was because of the sworn enemy of her own sect, Xu Yan of the Lotus Sect, who rescued her twice in a row, and survived。

"Don't be flustered, if you don't want to die, take this veil with you, and follow me. ”

Seeing Xu Yan throw over a piece of cloth, Cai Zhenjing glanced at him with some hesitation, but after seeing that the other party also covered her face with such a piece of cloth, she no longer had any hesitation and immediately covered this veil on her face.

In the veil, there is a faint medicinal fragrance, which is similar to the breath of the poison avoidance pill, but compared to the poison avoidance pill, this medicinal property seems to be much stronger.

"Run!"

When Xu Yan saw that the other party had tied up the veil, he immediately snorted coldly, and then ran wildly, and after Cai Zhenjing saw this, he was also as light as a swallow and quickly followed.

"What the hell is that monster behind you?" Xu Yan couldn't help but ask Xiao Cai in his consciousness as he ran quickly to the south.

Xiao Cai also couldn't feel the breath of any living beings in this blood cloud, but with its instinctive perception of danger, it could sense that in this blood cloud, there was an extremely terrifying aura, it hesitated for a moment, and replied truthfully: "I don't know what it is, but I think you'd better not let it catch up, otherwise we're going to be doomed." ”

When Xu Yan heard this, he suddenly said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense, otherwise what would I run now?"

β€œ......”

Two hours later, the blood cloud in mid-air was still chasing after him, but at this time, Xu Yan and Cai Zhenjing, who were not too far behind Zhou Yu and the others, also almost escaped from the range of the evil stream.

The two familiar stalagmites fell into Xu Yan's eyes again, but just like Zhou Yu and the others, he didn't stop at all, and continued to run wildly to the south.

Seeing Xu Yan who was only about a hundred zhang away from him, Zhou Xian's face was very ugly, if he wasn't afraid of the unknown blood cloud, he really wanted to immediately turn around and kill him, and chop his great enemy of life and death to pieces, otherwise when he escaped, after joining Chen Qinghe and those people, maybe there would be some uncontrollable changes.

Zhou Xian couldn't help but ask Wu Hao, who was leading in front: "Brother Wu, I don't know what kind of monster this dragon-like blood cloud in the back is, why I can't feel any breath on its body." ”

When Wu Hao heard this, a trace of jealousy flashed in his thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he replied truthfully: "I don't know." ”

When Zhou Xian heard this answer, his face immediately became very ugly, and he said in a cold voice: "Brother Wu, are you joking, since you don't know what this thing is, then why do you want us to run away? Then Xu Yan is only a hundred feet away from our buttocks, such a great opportunity, why don't we join forces to kill him first?"

Wu Hao saw that Zhou Xian seemed to be quite dissatisfied with his answer, and the thick eyebrows that grew on the arch of his eyebrows couldn't help but pick up, and replied in a stiff tone: "Then you go by yourself, why did I force you to run with me?"

Zhou Yu, who was following alongside, saw that Zhou Xian's face was angry, and he wanted to say something, but even stopped him, and grabbed the words and said apologetically to Wu Hao: "Brother Wu, don't be annoyed, my third brother has always been upright and not very good at talking, don't worry about him generally." Then, he couldn't help but turn his head and glared at Zhou Xian, and then said to Wu Hao: "But I think Brother Wu doesn't know what it is, but he ...... it."

Wu Hao saw that Zhou Yu took the initiative to stand up and lower his posture to play a round, and the feeling of being a little annoyed in his heart was relieved, but he naturally knew what the other party wanted to ask, so he directly interrupted him and said: " I can't recognize what breed that water monster is, but I can tell you clearly, this blood cloud is just a natal true qi spit out by this water monster that has reached at least level seven, if you want to kill yourself, you can go back directly and fight with that Xu Yan to the death, but if you want me to accompany you to take this risk, then don't even think about it, besides, although our Chenyang Sect has taken a lot of benefits from your Zhou family, but in the two conditions promised to you before, we have already completed the request of killing the disciples of the White Crane Sword Village。 But I want you to understand one thing, that is, in order to complete your plan ahead of schedule, we in the Chenyang Sect also lost the lives of eighteen people for this!"

At this moment, Wu Hao had already learned from Yan Ziyi's mouth that in his own faction, except for him and the latter, the remaining eighteen people had all died tragically in this mountain and river, although the disciples of their Chenyang Sect who participated in this spring hunt, except for Wu Hao himself, were not very important core disciples, but this result still made him feel very dissatisfied.

Seeing that the other party scolded himself without saying a word, Zhou Yu's heart was naturally very unhappy, after all, whether it was an identity or status between him and Wu Hao, he and the latter were actually not far behind, if it weren't for the next, he would have to rely on the other party to deal with the disciples of the Lotus Sect together, he really didn't want to suffer from this nest.

Zhou Yu couldn't stop sneering in his heart, his plan to let the other party destroy the White Crane Sword Village in advance was naturally well thought out, after all, before leaving, the Chenyang Sect was still sandwiched between the Yunlan Sect and the White Crane Sword Village, as a wavering neutral faction, if the other party's price was higher than his own, he would be the Yunlan Sect that Wu Hao would deal with.

However, fortunately, in this silent secret battle, the White Crane Sword Village still focused on dealing with the Lotus Sect as always, and it seemed that they would take the lead in attacking them.

Zhou Yuqiang held back the resentment in his heart, tried his best to keep his tone calm, and then replied: "The reason why I want Brother Wu to deal with the disciples of the White Crane Sword Village in advance this time is actually a last resort, but Brother Wu, please rest assured, your sect's loss this time, as long as I ensure that my Yunlan Sect can finally win the Lotus Sect, my Zhou family will make sufficient compensation to your sect." ”

Wu Hao saw that the other party had repeatedly retreated, so he no longer had to give an inch, and replied in a slightly softened tone: "Then it couldn't be better, otherwise I took twenty people out to participate in the spring hunt this time, but only two people were left alive to go back, and I couldn't explain it to my father." ”

......

Enter the area of Mt. Climb.

Under the gallop of Xu Yan and Cai Zhenjing with all their might, they rushed from the border to the narrow valley, but it only took a short half an hour, and if they followed the normal walking, this distance would actually take about half an hour. And after the two of them entered the valley one after another, Xu Yan couldn't help but glance behind him, because he suddenly wanted to see how the huge blood cloud monster behind him who had been chasing him for several hours could pass through this narrow valley.

So, he then saw a very shocking scene.

The huge body of this blood cloud, as he thought in his heart, could not completely pass through this narrow valley, so it could only crash headfirst into the entrance of the valley in a very rough way.

"Boom!"

A loud sound, with echoes, resounded throughout the valley.

Xu Yan looked at this scene with shocked eyes, never expecting that it would be such a violent and direct ending.

Countless sand, gravel and dust continued to tumble and fall from the entrance, and the collision of the blood cloud seemed to drive the entire mountain and river to shake.

Xu Yan endured the rubble that kept falling on him above his head, and didn't pay much attention to it, because he immediately saw that the blood cloud was on the verge of shattering, and then turned into a red mist that kept rolling like smoke.

"It's red mist, it's red mist!"

Without waiting for Xu Yan to speak, in his consciousness, Xiao Cai's almost trembling voice sounded directly, and she then exclaimed: "No wonder it gave me a feeling of horror before, I didn't expect it to be condensed into its body by the monster in Mitsui Creek, oh my God, it's good that you ran fast enough, otherwise if we get entangled in this thing, we will all have to die." ”

After Xu Yan saw the red mist, he accelerated his speed again and ran forward, at this moment, without Xiaocai's reminder, he also felt a terrifying aura that made him very jealous in this blood-colored mist.

After the red mist dispersed, there was still no sign of stopping, it frantically pounced on Xu Yan and Cai Zhenjing who were running forward, and where it passed, it instantly occupied the space in the entire valley.

Unlike the previous blood cloud, which converged all the dangerous aura, after the red mist spread, it emitted an indescribable fragrance, but Xu Yan didn't dare to smell this smell rashly, according to Xiaocai, this red mist was the most intense poisonous mist that the monster in Mitsui Creek could emit, even after stepping into the fifth level, she would never dare to be contaminated at all, therefore, this couldn't help but make Xu Yan, who had an incomparably mysterious long Bible, didn't want to take too many fearless risks in the situation in front of him.

Seeing that he was about to rush out of this valley, Xu Yan suddenly turned his head and said to Cai Zhenjing behind him: "After rushing out of the valley later, remember not to follow the same route with me again, remember, you must separate the direction of running from me." ”

Cai Zhenjing didn't understand why he asked her to do this, but nodded solemnly.

......

At the other end of the valley, it really belongs to the northern hinterland of Dengbei Mountain.

Long before Xu Yan and Cai Zhenjing entered this valley, Zhou Yu and the others passed through the entire valley smoothly, but undoubtedly, they had the same idea as Xu Yan, they all wanted to see if the blood cloud could pass through this valley smoothly, so they stopped after passing the valley, but the reason was nothing more than to know that if the blood cloud really couldn't follow them through this valley, then after Xu Yan came out, this would be his burial place.

However, just a few moments after they stopped, a figure wearing the clothes of a Lotus Sect disciple immediately rushed out of the valley.

Zhou Xian, who was in the dense forest, was firmly locked on this rushing figure, but when he saw that there was a veil on the other party's face, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Could it be that you can hide your identity by covering a rag on your face?"

Immediately afterwards, another figure who was also wearing the clothes of a disciple of the Lotus Sect followed out, but it was obvious that the figure who rushed out of the valley behind was not only much smaller than Xu Yan who was running in front of her, but at the same time, her body and steps when she ran were also 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 solemnly, but found that there was also a veil on her face, which couldn't help but make Zhou Xian, who thought she was Qiu Yuanjin, stunned for a moment, and waited until he saw the other party's eyes clearly, and he felt in his heart that this woman really didn't seem to be Qiu Yuanjin.

"Who is she?"

This is the biggest question in Zhou Xian's heart at this moment. He knew very well that in the list of spring hunts 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 same Chunzi Sect as him.

"Could it be that she is Gu Xueqing?"

"Boom!"

There was a bang!

Without waiting for Zhou Xian to figure out the truth of the matter, Wu Hao, who was waiting for Xu Yan to rush out not far from him, slammed his fist into the head of the latter who was running fast.

This punch, he didn't hide too much.

As a result, there was a burst of orange-red light, which immediately shone in this dense forest.

Xu Yan felt this mountain-like thick martial arts aura hit him, but his face hidden under the veil was always unwavering, and then, as if he had expected it, he stretched out his right hand, which was also bent into a fist, and met the opponent's blow head-on.

With the true qi of martial arts against the true qi of martial arts.

The two fist shadows collided quickly in the air, and then exploded.

The orange and gold rays are like the morning sun and the midday sun blooming in the forest at the same time.

Immediately afterward, a powerful wave of qi, starting from the explosion of the two fists, swept in all directions, rolling up countless rotten and dead leaves on the ground.

The dead leaves that drifted in the air waves turned into powder in an instant.

In the dense forest, the wind was blowing violently, rustling the countless green leaves that still hung on the branches.

Almost everyone was blinded by these two bright and dazzling lights at this moment, but they all clearly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground after that.

I only heard a "bang".

Xu Yan's body was like a puppet flying out upside down, falling heavily to the ground, and rolling out irrepressibly for more than ten zhang. However, after rolling, instead of fainting, he used the residual power that Wu Hao brought to him in this punch, so that he stood up after the roll and rushed in front of everyone.

He glanced at the one who was told by him in the valley to choose another direction, and alertly bypassed the battle circle between him and Wu Hao, and finally rushed directly to Cai Zhenjing, who was ahead of him, without the slightest stagnation, he directly caught up with her and shouted at her, "Run!"

Seeing this sudden change, Zhou Yu and the others were undoubtedly dumbfounded, and Wu Hao was even more pale, because in this punch, he used at least eighty percent of his strength, but the result not only did not kill this guy named Xu Yan with one punch, but let him use his strength to surpass everyone.

"Chase me!" Zhou Yu, who was the first to react, shouted.

But before they could get up, in the deep valley behind them, a blood-colored fog rolled out like a torrent.

And in this fog and waves, there is an incomparably rich aroma.
