Yan Xulun was leisurely drinking tea in the teahouse. He did not seem to be surprised by what had happened outside.
At this time, a trusted aide hurried over, bowed, and said in a low voice, "Commandant, Zhang Yu has left Auspicious Light City."
"Oh?" Yan Xulun's expression changed. He stood up and asked, "Are you sure?"
The aide nodded repeatedly.
Yan Xulun thought for a moment. He paced back and forth in the teahouse before slowly sitting down and muttering to himself, "No rush, no rush."
The trusted aide said, "Since he has left the city, should we …"
Yan Xulun shook his head and said, "No, let's wait a little longer. We have already endured for so long, so a little longer won't make a difference. Now that one of the officials has died, and it has happened consecutively in the past few months, I'm afraid the Xuanfu will not be able to cover it up this time."
He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said meaningfully, "The shackles on our Army of God are about to be loosened."
After Zhang Yu rode out of Auspicious Light City, he followed the trail of blood in his senses.
As time passed, the trail gradually faded. However, as he gradually rode into the wilderness, there were fewer people here, and there was less interference from the outside, so he could see it more clearly.
In fact, no matter if it was a God or a monster, the spirituality on the surface of their body could not only resist external attacks, but it could also repel smells and powders. Logically speaking, they should not be contaminated by external things.
For example, although Miao Danjun had been in the wilderness for so long, when he came into contact with the outside world, there was no dust or dirt on his body at all.
However, this EsGod on the continent did not repel one thing. Instead, he welcomed it very much.
That was flesh and blood!
These EsGods had an endless desire for the flesh and life force of living beings, and they loved to use living beings to please themselves. However, it was not that they did not reject anything, and they did not care about ordinary flesh and blood.
However, if it was special flesh and blood with spirituality, it would be different.
The secret medicine that Xuan Xiaowu consumed should be made from the organs of spiritual creatures, so it was not rejected by EsGod.
Now, it was impossible to figure out whether Xuan Xiaowu knew this himself, so he deliberately left this clue, or if this was just an accident.
However, this was no longer important. Whether it was man-made or the will of the heavens, since there were traces that could be traced, then he would not let it go.
Zhang Yu's chase lasted for almost a day. At this time, the traces of blood had almost disappeared. However, even if it was EsGod, as long as it had a physical body, it would definitely leave some traces behind when moving.
Furthermore, he realized that after entering the wilderness, EsGod did not walk along the path that was easy to traverse. Instead, he walked in a straight line, and even though there were trees in the way, he still crashed through them, causing the ground to be in a mess.
Sometimes, even though there was a high slope in front of them that was difficult to climb, they would still stubbornly climb over it instead of choosing to take a detour.
All of this undoubtedly meant that there was something in front guiding him, causing him to keep running in that direction.
And the traces left behind when the person passed by provided him with an obvious target to track.
Zhang Yu reined in his horse and fed it a secret pill. Then, he took a look and saw that EsGod was heading toward Mount An.
After seeing this, he obviously would not charge down recklessly like EsGod. After resting for a while, he determined the general direction that EsGod was going and rode down.
Of course, in order to prevent the other party from accidentally changing directions, he would stop from time to time to check the traces.
This way, his speed was clearly faster.
As he sped along, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to EsGod.
After another half a day, he had already entered the plains of Mount An and rushed into a dense forest along the traces in front.
Logically speaking, there should be all kinds of creatures in such a place, but there was nothing here, not even a bug. It was as if all the living Lingdu had avoided this place.
The horse under him was also unwilling to move forward.
He knew that he was about to find the other party.
Thus, he got off the horse and walked over with Xia Jian.
Collapsed pillars and broken temples could be seen from time to time. The deeper he went, the denser they were. There was undoubtedly an ancient ruin here. Judging from the style, it should be something from the previous era.
He walked along a broken stone path. Not long after, his footsteps paused. In front of him, there was a huge building that was neatly piled up with stones in the shape of a mound.
This was a large altar.
A tall and sturdy figure was sitting below.
This was a man with a firm face and a tall figure. He had a thick beard on his lips and chin. He wore a horned helmet on his head and thick leather armor on his body. There was even white fur on his collar.
He sat in front of the stairs leading to the altar like a guard, as if he was protecting something.
In Zhang Yu's eyes, there were still some traces of blood left on his body.
Without a doubt, he had found the murderer.
And from the aura reflected in his heart lake, the other party maintained the same breathing as a human. There was no doubt that he had the blood of a human. He should be a descendant of some god. He could be regarded as a god or a person with extraordinary power.
He adjusted his breathing, carried Xia Jian, and slowly walked out of the dense forest. The jade light on his body swayed like fire as his aura rose.
The burly man also noticed his arrival. He stood up and said in bewilderment, "God Tianxia?" Then he said a series of strange names.
Zhang Yu could tell that what the other party said was the self-proclaimed Son of Plague, the God of Desolation, Ku Tai. Moreover, it was followed by a series of words praising him and announcing his great achievements.
This was also the way the indigenous gods communicated with each other.
But he was not.
Therefore, his response was to slowly unsheathe his sword. Then, he quickly stepped forward and slashed down!
Ku Tai roared angrily and raised his fists to block the blade. However, an unfathomable force came from the sword, and he groaned. His huge body seemed to have been hit by a giant beast, and he was sent flying. He crashed heavily into the stone steps behind him and sank deep into the ground.
Zhang Yu landed steadily on the ground and shook his sword. This was the Body Imprint Dao Seal "Ten Thousand Catties" that he had obtained last time. When he used it, he could unleash a power that was several times stronger than before. Furthermore, he could focus his power on a single point. The weakness was that he could not immediately attack after colliding.
Because he knew that he had to deal with an EsGod, he had read it on the way here.
Ku Tai shook his head and climbed out of the stone pit.
Zhang Yu looked at the seven-colored light that swayed like sticky turbid oil on his body. It was this layer of spiritual light that protected him.
Unlike the flexible light of the cultivators, the spiritual light of many EsGods was very simple. There were only a few characteristics. However, their tough bodies and strong recovery abilities could undoubtedly make up for this.
Through the sword just now, he had already tested that the spiritual light of this EsGod should be able to disperse the power of the attack to his entire body.
This was a very troublesome ability.
This meant that he almost had no weaknesses. As long as he did not have the means to kill him in one blow, he could withstand any attack aimed at him.
However, nothing was perfect.
He took a step forward, and before he could completely stabilize himself, he slashed down with his sword again. Ku Tai was at a disadvantage. He moved one foot back and one foot forward. He raised his arms to block again, trying to receive another collision.
When the tip of Zhang Yu's sword touched the spiritual surface of his spiritual light, the blade suddenly swayed and easily avoided the front. With a turn and a turn, the tip of the sword had already slashed across his chest, cutting open the spiritual light and leaving a wound.
The damage caused by this sword was extremely small, but he was sure of one thing.
Although the spiritual surface of the other party had the ability to divert external power, it had to be prepared in advance. In other words, it had to be controlled by one's own consciousness.
However, once one's consciousness could not keep up, just like before, because one could not distinguish the power of his sword, there was no way to avoid the damage.
Then, it would be fine as long as the other party could not react in time.
He took a deep breath, and the light on his body rose. With a tap of his foot, his figure suddenly sped up!
He moved back and forth around Ku Tai at an unprecedented speed. The sword in his hand flashed like lightning, constantly moving back and forth around Ku Tai's body. In every breath of time, several swords landed on Ku Tai's body.
It could be seen that the spiritual light on Ku Tai's body continued to flicker under this torrential rain of attacks.
Zhang Yu was currently using all the seals that he could use. His thoughts and senses seemed to have entered another level. His opponent's large body and slow movements made him an immovable target.
As his movements became faster and faster, his entire body seemed to float around like a stream of light. The sound of the sword slashing also became faster and faster, and it was as if it was raining cats and dogs.
Under such a dense barrage of attacks, Ku Tai was unable to determine where the attacks would land. Often, when he sensed one attack, another attack would follow. This made him angry, restless, and terrified.
In reality, as long as he remained calm, he would be able to see that even though he was receiving a lot of damage, he was not seriously injured and could still hold on.
However, his body was surrounded by the dazzling sword light, and the constant pain made it impossible for him to accurately judge the situation. In this situation where he could only take a beating without being able to retaliate, he was unable to maintain his composure.
In the end, he was still half human, and he could not maintain absolute rationality like a god.
Zhang Yu coldly looked at Ku Tai's helpless rage and knew that it was about time. He stretched out his finger like a sword and lightly tapped on Ku Tai's body. This was a harmless tap, but Ku Tai's consciousness seemed to have been trained and was uncontrollably attracted to it.
At the same time, he stepped forward and lightly slashed with his sword. In an instant, Ku Tai's throat was sliced open, and bright blood spurted out.
Ku Tai felt his breathing become sluggish, and he reached out to grab Zhang Yu, who seemed to be right in front of him. However, all he could grab was an illusory streak of light, and he began to panic. He wanted to quickly heal his wounds, but he was also afraid that he would receive even more damage. His consciousness, which had been able to maintain, became chaotic.
Zhang Yu could acutely sense Ku Tai's doubts about him. Ku Tai could not believe what he was seeing, and he no longer believed that he could protect himself.
He took a deep breath, and the countless streaks of light merged into one. He took a few steps back and once again slashed out with his sword. The sword flashed like lightning, and the tip of the sword landed on Ku Tai's forehead!
Ten Thousand Catties!
Ku Tai's body did not move. A moment later, with a boom, a large hole appeared at the back of his head, and everything inside spurted out along with bright blood.
Clang!
Zhang Yu sheathed his sword, and his sleeves fluttered.
He glanced at the top of the altar, and then walked up.
After he was some distance away, the tall and sturdy body swayed slightly and fell to the ground with its back facing the sky.
