"Hu Chi!"
Seeing the wooden hut destroyed, Xiao Yulan did not lose her rationality despite her anger. She sent out a distress signal from her sleeves. After the red firework bloomed in the air once, it rose higher, then bloomed a second time, and finally disappeared after the third time.
Xiao Yulan quickly said to Xiao Chen, "This is the highest level distress signal. The Third Elder and the others should be here soon."
Xiao Chen looked at the black clothed men who had discovered the firework and were rushing over. He felt helpless in his heart. By the time the Third Elder and the others arrived, there would only be two corpses left.
If only Xiao Chen was here, after he used the Lightning Evasion, he would be able to leave easily. Unfortunately, he could not bring another person with him to use the Lightning Evasion. With his current cultivation, he could not do so.
The two of them continued to run through the forest, occasionally dodging the arrows that came from behind them. As a result, their speed was much slower. If they did not find a solution soon, they would be caught up to very quickly.
Xiao Chen nimbly somersaulted in the air, dodging another arrow. He said anxiously, "Cousin Yulan, if this goes on, they will catch up to us sooner or later."
Xiao Yulan turned her head to look at the situation behind her. The black clothed men continued to jump from tree to tree, not stopping at all. These people should be professionally trained crossbowmen. Even when they were shooting, they did not stop moving.
Xiao Yulan spread out her hands and her body danced in the air. Countless red petals fell from the sky, and the fragrance of Poinsettia spread throughout the forest.
Xiao Yulan stopped and drew her Breaking Water Sword. She stood on the spot and danced gracefully, like a nimble spirit. The arrows seemed to have met with a formless Qi field, and were all deflected.
Streams of red sword light flew in all directions. Xiao Yulan continued to dance in the sky filled with petals. Countless red sword lights passed through the Breaking Water Sword and shot out in all directions.
The red sword lights looked very beautiful in the air. However, these beautiful sword lights all contained the poison of Poinsettia. As long as one came into contact with it, they would immediately be poisoned.
The densely packed red sword lights seemed to cover the entire space around Xiao Yulan. The entire space was filled with the pollen of Poinsettia. This poisonous pollen was incomparably bewitching and beautiful.
The more beautiful something was in the world, the more dangerous it was. The man in black looked at the red space in front of him and wisely stopped. Poinsettia, one of the world's five poisons, was not something that everyone had the guts to try.
Xiao Chen, who was in front, stared blankly at Xiao Yulan dancing in the air. At this moment, she was like a fairy, performing the most enchanting dance in the world, causing people to be lost in it, unable to extricate themselves.
"Let's go, cousin Xiao Chen."
It was unknown when Xiao Yulan stopped dancing and suddenly appeared behind Xiao Chen. She grabbed his wrist and changed directions, running forward.
This direction led to the core region of Seven Horn Mountain. The Spirit Beasts in the core region were much more ferocious than those in the periphery. Furthermore, they were of a higher rank. Regular cultivators, even Martial Grand Masters, would not dare to venture too deep.
Xiao Yulan had cultivated in this place for close to ten years. Relying on her familiarity with the terrain, she was very confident that she would be able to shake off her pursuers after entering the interior of Seven Horn Mountain.
When Xiao Chen recovered his wits, he looked at Xiao Yulan, who was holding his wrist, and said, "Actually, cousin, my injuries have already healed. I can walk on my own now."
Xiao Yulan did not answer his question. She pulled his hand and continued to run forward. She said indifferently, "You are about to lose your life, yet you still care about such things."
In her opinion, Xiao Chen was only an Inferior Grade Martial Disciple. Now that he was being chased, naturally, she would be the one to carry him. That way, they would be able to move faster.
However, Xiao Chen's strength was not as simple as it looked on the surface. With Xiao Yulan carrying him, their speed would decrease significantly.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to reply, Xiao Yulan suddenly stopped. She looked coldly in front of her. In front of her, there was a man in black standing quietly under a big tree.
"Hand over the Spirit Blood Jade, or else die!" the man in black said calmly, his tone devoid of any emotion.
The poison of Poinsettia could block those Martial Masters. However, this man in black had already reached the peak of Superior Grade Martial Grand Master. Naturally, he had a way to avoid the poison of Poinsettia.
Martial Grand Masters kept appearing around him. This caused Xiao Chen to feel very depressed. With his strength, even if he met a Martial Master, he would still be able to put up a fight.
However, if he met a peak Martial Grand Master, he could only use the Blue Dragon Goes to Sea to fight to the death. However, with the lesson from the last time, he did not dare to use this horrifying Heaven Ranked Martial Technique again.
Xiao Yulan did not reply. Flower petals filled the sky and appeared around her again. The Broken Moon Sword in her hand pierced towards that person without hesitation.
"You are seeking death." The man in black snorted coldly and made his move at lightning speed. He tilted his body slightly and dodged the sword. He stretched out two fingers and used them as a sword, piercing towards Xiao Yulan's head.
Xiao Yulan retreated hastily. The man in black did not chase after her. He waved his hand and a man-eating flower shot out from his hand. The man-eating flower's buds were wide open like the huge mouth of a ferocious beast, biting towards the Poinsettia behind him.
It turned out that this person already knew that Xiao Yulan had planted a Poinsettia behind him. The earlier attack was just a feint, the real killing move was behind.
The man-eating flower could absorb all the pollen into its body and then consume it, producing an even greater poison. No wonder he was not afraid of the poison of Poinsettia. He was even able to detect the Poinsettia sneaking up behind him at the first moment.
The situation that happened in an instant caused Xiao Yulan to be unable to withdraw her Martial Spirit in time. A 'chi chi' sound could be heard as the man-eating flower bit heavily on the Poinsettia, chewing on it continuously.
The situation was dire. While Xiao Yulan was fighting, she was surrounded by the petals of the Poinsettia. The poison of Poinsettia did not differentiate between friend and foe. Xiao Chen could not get close to help.
At this moment, he could no longer hold back. Xiao Chen shouted, "Lightning Descend!"
The lightning tore through the air and struck towards the man in black. The man in black did not dare to be careless and immediately retreated backwards. Just as he stabilized himself, the lightning in the sky descended towards him again.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense had already locked onto him. He could instantly determine where he would land. As long as he retreated, the Lightning Descend would immediately strike down again.
However, with Xiao Chen's cultivation realm, he could only execute this technique three times in a row. After three times, he would have to rest for a while before he could execute it again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yulan quickly recalled the Poinsettia. The complete Poinsettia had already been devoured by the man-eating flower, leaving behind only a broken petal.
After dodging another bolt of lightning, a cold glint appeared in the eyes of the man in black. He stared at Xiao Chen and waved his hand. The malevolent man-eating flower opened its bloody mouth and flew towards Xiao Chen at lightning speed.
When Xiao Chen saw the horrifying man-eating flower, he was astonished. The flower even had sharp fangs that only carnivores had. These fangs flickered with a cold light.
Xiao Chen's thoughts raced as he tried to think of a way to deal with it. His greatest reliance should have been the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit. However, his Spirit Weapon was already destroyed. Naturally, he would not be able to bring out the might of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit.
Thus, he could only rely on the Purple Thunder True Fire. However, the Purple Thunder True Fire had been facing a very serious problem for a long time. It was extremely sticky, but it lacked penetrative power. A regular cultivator's Essence barrier would be able to easily block the penetration of the Purple Thunder True Fire.
How could he increase the penetrative power of the Purple Thunder True Fire?
However, in the current situation, there was no time to think too much. The Man-eating Flowers were approaching very quickly. If the Man-eating Flowers were to get close to him, without a Spirit Weapon, it would not be long before he was devoured.
"Pu Chi!"
A purple flame gathered at the tip of Xiao Chen's finger. Focusing his Spiritual Sense on it, Xiao Chen suddenly had an idea. Using the techniques of alchemy, his Spiritual Sense quickly circulated the Purple Thunder True Fire.
With every circulation, Xiao Chen's Essence would be significantly depleted. However, the energy contained in the Purple Thunder True Fire had increased significantly.
With a 'sou' sound, the flame quickly flew towards the man-eating flower, reaching its peak in an instant.
"Bang!" When the flame came into contact with the man-eating flower, there was an intense explosion. The huge man-eating flower turned into countless specks of light and returned to the body of the man in black.
There was actually an explosion. This was different from what Xiao Chen had imagined. He originally thought that the strengthened Purple Thunder True Fire would be able to penetrate through the man-eating flower and destroy it before heading straight for the man in black.
It looked like he had to think about it more in the future. However, the danger in front of him was temporarily resolved. Xiao Chen took out the Spirit Blood Jade from the Universe Ring.
"The Spirit Blood Jade is in my hands. If you want it, you have to catch me first." Xiao Chen shouted at the man in black. At this moment, Xiao Yulan was already injured and could not fight for now. He could only lure the man in black away.
As long as he could lure the man in black away, it would be easy for him to escape with his Lightning Evasion. This way, Cousin Yulan would have a chance to escape.
Seeing Xiao Chen's figure dashing away, the man in black took a deep breath and condensed the Martial Spirit in his body. He pushed off the ground and his body left the ground, chasing after Xiao Chen.
His only goal was to obtain the Spirit Blood Jade. Nothing else was important. Since the Spirit Blood Jade was in Xiao Chen's hands, there was no need for him to care about Xiao Yulan.
Xiao Yulan's complexion was incomparably pale. As she watched Xiao Chen leave, a complicated expression appeared on her face. The Breaking Moon Sword in her hand trembled non-stop. It was like she was fighting a battle in her mind, should she give chase or not?
Naturally, she knew that Xiao Chen lured the man away to give her a chance to escape. With the cultivation of the man in black, even if the two of them worked together, they would not be a match for him. It would be better for one of them to lure him away and leave the other behind.
If she gave chase now, she would have wasted Cousin Xiao Chen's efforts. However, she did not believe that Xiao Chen, who had just recovered from his severe injuries, could escape from the pursuit of the black-clothed man.
How could she feel at ease!
At the same time, in one of the Xiao Clan's encampments in Seven Horn Mountain, the Xiao Clan's Third Elder looked up at the sky. There were three red fireworks that suddenly bloomed. His eyebrows twitched violently.
"Pass down the order. All the Xiao Clan disciples above Martial Master are to gather. Also, find someone to go down the mountain to inform the First Elder. Tell him that the First Miss is in danger. Get him to invite Elder Liu out. Be quick!"
The people under him had never seen such a grim expression on the Third Elder's face before. They knew the severity of the situation and immediately took action.
In an instant, the undercurrents in Seven Horn Mountain surged and the weather changed.
