"You're courting death!"
When Xing Lan saw that two mercenaries had been killed, he immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. Icicles surged on his spear, and his entire body entered an extremely cold domain. His martial soul was an ice beast, and he also cultivated the law of ice, causing his entire body to be as cold as ice. At this moment, his entire body was like an ice-cold spear, charging straight at Lin Muyu.
"Break!"
The spear in his hand spun rapidly, forming an extremely powerful spiraling penetrating force. With a bang, it collided with the Black Tortoise Shell. The powerful penetrating force caused Lin Muyu to shiver uncontrollably. In the next moment, the Black Tortoise Shell was directly pierced through, and the tip of the spear struck his shoulder. Before the blood could spurt out, it had already frozen.
The power of the ice seal was too strong, and Lin Muyu's left arm had already lost the ability to move.
"Poison Liquid!"
With a low roar, green vines suddenly rose from the surrounding ground, binding Xing Lan and his horse within. He had never seen such a formation before, and hurriedly raised his spear to block in front of him. However, how could he block the poison liquid? With a splash, a mouthful of poison liquid directly enveloped his entire body. Under the corrosion, the face and chest of this Level 46 War Venerable began to fester, and he fell off his horse while howling miserably.
Lin Muyu suddenly pulled the reins, turned around, and took advantage of the situation to sweep her sword across. The sharp Prairie Fire Sword slashed open Xing Lan's neck, and blood flowed out. After struggling for a while, he stopped moving.
Xing Lan was dead.
The other mercenaries were dumbfounded. They brandished their weapons and wanted to attack, but two of them were killed by the Demonic Noise Blade. Lin Muyu didn't dare to move his left arm, and carefully circulated his True Qi to dissolve Xing Lan's ice force. Chu Yao leaped onto a warhorse at the side, and with a raise of her hand, a few silver needles flew out, blinding the eyes of a few mercenaries.
"This kid … killed Captain Xing Lan. Little bastard!"
A mercenary wielding a battle axe roared in anger as he raised his battle axe and charged forward. Lin Muyu placed her longsword horizontally on the back of her horse and raised her hand to unleash a [Demonic Sonic Punch]. Under the impact of the sound waves, the mercenary spat out blood and died. Even the surrounding mercenaries didn't understand what had happened. Only a fifty-year-old veteran soldier's face paled. "That's … Demonic Sonic Punch! Heavens, this kid knows the Fire Cauldron Qu Chu's secret technique! "
Perhaps no one knew who Lin Muyu was, but everyone knew of the Fire Cauldron Qu Chu. This name was already very famous in the continent. As long as one was a cultivator of the empire, there was no one who didn't know who Qu Chu was. Moreover, there was no one who didn't know how unparalleled the might of Qu Chu's Fire Cauldron Martial Soul was.
"We can't kill them. Let's go!"
A mercenary with a longbow quickly retreated. The other mercenaries also retreated, but in the process, they fell off their horses one after another. This was the effect of the Clear Breeze Intoxication.
Lin Muyu originally planned to use her Treasure Carving Bow to kill a few people, but the coldness on her arm couldn't be dispelled. She couldn't pull the bow with both hands, so she could only give up. Looking at the corpses on the ground, she didn't say anything. She pulled the reins and said, "Sister Chu Yao, let's go. They'll catch up soon. We can't stay here for too long."
"En, Yu, what about your arm?"
Chu Yao urged her horse over. She quickly took out two silver needles and sealed two acupuncture points on his arm. Then she said, "You just need to circulate your qi to expel the coldness."
"En."
The sky was filled with stars, and the starlight shone on the Gale Ridge. The two hurriedly prepared to leave, but at this moment, a blood-red shadow suddenly appeared in the darkness. Chu Yao couldn't help but be surprised, "What is that?"
Lin Muyu's heart turned cold, "Not good, it's a Swift Wolf. Let's go!"
Sure enough, in the next moment, countless Swift Wolves came down from the mountain. The leading wolf was a huge wolf with a patch of white on its head. It looked much stronger than the other Swift Wolves. Lin Muyu only needed one glance to determine that this wolf had at least a thousand years of cultivation. The other Swift Wolves were mostly around a hundred years, but there were too many of them. If they were really surrounded, they would most likely die.
They urged their horses to leave quickly. Behind them, the pack of wolves was already biting and devouring the corpses of the mercenaries that died in battle. Xing Lan was a famous expert in this area. Who would have thought that her body would be devoured by the Swift Wolves after her death? This was really retribution.
…
"Roar!"
Just half a minute after Lin Muyu and Chu Yao urged their horses to leave, the leading wolf suddenly howled. The other Swift Wolves also let out howls. Then, the sound of the pack of wolves could be heard.
"Oh no, they don't want to let us go!" Chu Yao clenched her teeth.
Lin Muyu quickly circulated her power to force the cold energy on her shoulder away. She said, "Don't worry about anything. Hurry up and leave. I'll bring up the rear. As long as I force out the cold energy that Xing Lan left behind, these Swift Wolves definitely won't be able to hurt us."
"En!"
Chu Yao urged her horse forward, but she wasn't willing to overtake Lin Muyu. She just stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
The sound of the Swift Wolves running behind them became more and more frequent. They could even hear their panting. The Swift Wolves were one of the fastest spiritual beasts in the forest. How could the speed of the war horses be compared to them? In a few minutes, they could see the figures of the Swift Wolves in the forest under the starlight.
Chu Yao glanced back and took out two silver needles from her robes. With a whoosh, she tossed them out. In the next instant, the two Swift Wolves howled miserably as they rolled around in the shrubbery. They had been blinded by the silver needles and were no longer able to continue their chase.
But with two dead wolves, the rest of the Swift Wolves became even more violent. This was especially so for the leading wolf. Its speed was so fast that it was less than 10 meters away from them.
Lin Muyu's left arm was still unable to move. She had no choice but to return her sword to its sheath. Then, she raised her hand and threw out a Demonic Sonic Punch!
"Peng!"
The wind from the punch landed heavily on the face of the leading wolf. However, the leading wolf was a spiritual beast with more than 1000 years of cultivation. It was only injured but not killed. With a trace of blood on its face, it continued to chase. Lin Muyu didn't hold back either. She threw out a few more Demonic Sonic Punches, causing the leading wolf's face to be covered in blood. Even its skull had been shattered.
At this moment, a howl suddenly came from the side of the forest. Two huge wolves pounced out!
"Be careful!" Lin Muyu hurriedly shouted. He didn't expect the Swift Wolves to be so cunning and know how to outflank them.
Chu Yao saw it clearly. She spurred her horse forward and stood in front of Lin Muyu. Her Purple Marten martial soul came out and a ball of flames struck one of the huge wolves. However, the other wolf had already leaped onto the horse's back. Its sharp claws tore open the warhorse's butt, causing blood to flow. It opened its mouth and bit towards Chu Yao's back. After all, Chu Yao was already at the first level of the Earth Realm. She was very agile. The moment her shoulder was bitten by the wolf's teeth, she stabbed the dagger in her right hand into the wolf's neck.
"Pu!"
Another wolf's corpse fell to the ground.
Lin Muyu frowned. "Is it badly injured?"
Chu Yao shook her head. "It's fine. Let's go."
At this moment, the alpha wolf leaped and pounced towards Lin Muyu's back like lightning.
"Black Tortoise Shell!"
While on the horse, he immediately summoned his martial soul. The dark red azure gourd came out of his body and the Black Tortoise Shell's flame energy quickly gathered. With a bang, the pouncing alpha wolf was repelled. Lin Muyu took the opportunity to strike the alpha wolf's head with Lightning Strike.
"Crack!"
A sword mark could be seen through the alpha wolf's eyes. Its skull was almost completely split open. Flesh and blood flew everywhere. However, the alpha wolf's vitality was so tenacious that it continued to roar and chase.
A trace of warmth came from her left arm. Lin Muyu was immediately overjoyed. The cold energy left by Xing Lan had been completely expelled from her body.
He opened his hand and grabbed the carved bow. Then, he turned around and fiercely shot the arrow. He poured his Real Qi into the arrow, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow shot into the eyes of the chieftain wolf like a falling meteor.
"Ao ao …"
The arrow pierced through the eye and into the brain. This time, the alpha wolf couldn't continue to chase. It howled miserably and rolled on the ground. It definitely wouldn't survive.
With the alpha wolf dead, the other Swift Wolves didn't dare to continue chasing. They seemed to have realized that the two in front of them were very terrifying. If they continued to chase, they might lose their lives.
Not daring to stop, the two continued to gallop north in the mountains.
They didn't stop and ran like this for the whole night. They didn't know how far they were from Scorching Wind Mountain, but at least they could be sure that the mercenaries of Scorching Wind Mountain might not be able to catch up to them.
A faint pain came from his shoulder. Lin Muyu urged the horse to gallop slowly and opened up the wound. Xing Lan's spear had almost pierced through his shoulder. The injury was very serious.
Chu Yao felt sorry for him. Thus, she tore a strip of cloth from her skirt and bandaged it for him. Chu Yao's shoulder had also been bitten by the Swift Wolves. She bit on one end of the cloth and bandaged it herself. Lin Muyu couldn't help but blush with shame. Over the past few days, Chu Yao had really changed from that weak herb-gathering girl to a true warrior.
While bandaging the wound, Chu Yao raised her head and looked at him. She smiled. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." He quickly turned his face away.
Chu Yao giggled. "Idiot."
Although he felt that he had been scolded, Lin Muyu felt a faint warmth in his heart.
…
A few hundred miles away from the Seven Stars Forest.
The Dragon Seeking Forest was a deep forest around the capital, Lanyan City. The Dragon Seeking Forest was filled with demonic beasts. It was every cultivator's dream paradise. However, this forest was completely protected by the capital's military. Only special cultivators or nobles could enter to search for the spiritual beasts they needed.
Thud, thud, thud …
The intense sound of hooves broke the silence of the Dragon Seeking Forest. A few hundred cavalrymen were galloping on a small path in the forest. At the front was a beautiful young lady in a dark red cloak. She had an anxious expression on her face as she galloped along the way.
"Princess, slow down!"
A guard caught up to her and said, "The mountain path is rugged, and there are many ferocious beasts in the Dragon Seeking Forest. Don't wander around recklessly. Otherwise, you won't be able to save that brat called Lin Muyu. You might even lose your life!"
Tang Xiaoxi's heart was in a mess. She couldn't help but close her eyes. She didn't want to think about what would happen if Lin Muyu couldn't escape the pursuit of the seven Martial Saints.
At this moment, a bird's cry suddenly came from the sky. A white bird quickly descended from the sky.
The guard hurriedly raised his hand and took the letter from the bird's leg. He said, "It's a letter from Silver Fir City."
"Is there any news?"
Tang Xiaoxi didn't wait for the guard to read it. She raised her hand and snatched the letter. There were only three lines of words on it —
One of the seven Martial Saints, Guan Yang, was killed while pursuing Lin Muyu.
One of the seven Martial Saints, Ye Liang, was killed while pursuing Lin Muyu.
Don't worry, Princess. He's still alive.
