Dangerous Situation
"Alright, I'll go with you." Yang Feng stood up. If he went with him, he could protect Chu Xingyun at any time.
Chu Xingyun shook his head, his voice solemn, "The beast tide is getting fiercer, you should stay here and command to avoid more casualties. Moreover, if you and I go together, it will easily attract the attention of the spirit beasts. It's safer for me to go alone."
After saying that, Chu Xingyun formed a complicated seal with his hands, and the aura around him immediately disappeared.
This was the Breath Closing Technique, which could restrain the body's spirit energy, making it difficult for others to detect.
"No, this is too risky." Yang Feng still didn't agree. He had promised Yang Yan to protect Chu Xingyun. If something happened to Chu Xingyun, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.
"Master never does anything he's not confident in. Since he's decided to take action, he'll definitely return safely. Let's first resist the beast tide. If the beast tide comes in full force, I'm afraid these villagers will all die." Yan Du stopped Yang Feng. He had blind faith in Chu Xingyun and never doubted him.
Yang Feng looked deeply at Yan Du, then shifted his gaze to the panicked villagers. Gritting his teeth, he pulled back his feet and said, "If you encounter danger, immediately shout for help. Don't try to be brave."
Chu Xingyun nodded and directly flew out. In a short moment, he had completely disappeared, and not a trace of him could be found.
In the beast tide.
Chu Xingyun fully used the Breath Closing Technique to hide his aura. As he moved, he searched for Luo Lan's figure.
Awoo!
At this time, a pitch-black wolf beast seemed to feel that something was wrong. Its nose twitched slightly, and it slowly approached Chu Xingyun's direction.
Chu Xingyun's eyes were gloomy. When the wolf beast came close, his body suddenly moved. Like a python coming out of its cave, his fist smashed the wolf's head, instantly killing it.
The pungent smell of blood permeated the air, and many spirit beasts looked over. Chu Xingyun hurriedly restrained his aura and wiped the wolf's blood on his body. He remained motionless.
Not long after, those spirit beasts retracted their gazes and no longer looked in this direction. They continued to run forward. Chu Xingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put down the huge stone in his heart.
"It's a good thing that these spirit beasts haven't stepped into the earth spirit realm yet. Their intelligence is low and they can't see through my disguise. However, if this drags on, I'll likely still be in danger." Chu Xingyun looked into the distance. The beast tide seemed to be getting more and more serious. From time to time, there would be deafening roars, causing the ground to tremble.
Retracting his thoughts, Chu Xingyun identified the direction and continued his search.
According to the village chief, Luo Lan's house was located at the periphery of the forest. When the beast horde erupted, it was the first to bear the brunt.
However, when Chu Xingyun arrived at the forest, he discovered that the place had already been reduced to ruins. The ground was full of potholes and mottled with blood. He could even see some broken limbs and remains. It was a ghastly sight.
"Damn it!" Chu Xingyun grit his teeth, but didn't give up and continued his search.
Time slowly passed by. Chu Xingyun quickly searched the entire forest, but still didn't find any trace of Luo Lan.
Just as he was feeling a little hopeless, he sharply caught a faint sound.
That sound seemed to be the sound of crying!
He followed the sound of crying to an ancient tree. When he raised his head, he saw a small, skinny figure lying on a branch. This caused Chu Xingyun's eyes to light up. That small, skinny figure was Luo Lan, whom he'd been painstakingly searching for.
Chu Xingyun immediately landed next to Luo Lan. Before he could say anything, Luo Lan threw herself into his arms. Her body started to tremble as she choked out, "Dead, father and mother are both dead. How did this happen? Sob sob sob …"
Chu Xingyun also sighed when he sensed the pain in Luo Lan's heart.
He had seen Shui Liu Xiang die under the claws of a beast with his own eyes. He understood the pain of losing one's loved ones very well. Furthermore, Luo Lan was still a child. She had never seen such a tragic and bloody scene. It was normal for her to react this way.
Chu Xingyun patted her shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, it's all over now. I'll take you away from here and to a safe place."
When she heard Chu Xingyun's words, a sense of security immediately rose in Luo Lan's heart. It was as if she was a small boat drifting on the sea and had suddenly found a warm harbor.
She slowly raised her head and was about to speak when she suddenly felt a sharp sword light bloom. It carried the sound of wind and thunder as it brushed past her ear.
Awoo!
Almost at the same time, Luo Lan heard a mournful beast roar.
She quickly turned her head and realized that five pitch-black wolf beasts had appeared behind her. One of them had its head chopped off by the sword light. It fell to the ground, motionless and without any signs of life.
Chu Xingyun pulled Luo Lan behind him and looked at the four wolf beasts in front of him. He said calmly, "Stand behind me. No matter what, don't leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xingyun's figure flashed and rushed forward. Spiritual energy wrapped around the Sky Slashing Sword and condensed into a Sky Slashing Wind Blade. It tore the air apart.
The four wolf beasts were not strong. They were equivalent to a martial artist in the second Sky of Spirit Gathering Realm.
However, the situation was urgent. Chu Xingyun could not delay. If other spirit beasts discovered him, he would be in danger.
Even with his strength, if he was surrounded by an endless wave of beasts, only death would await him.
Whoosh!
The Sky Slashing Wind Blade swept across and cut the wolf beast in front into two. Chu Xingyun did not slow down. The Sky Slashing Sword spun crazily in his palm like wind and thunder as he condensed his aura to the peak.
"Wind and Thunder!" Chu Xingyun shouted.
The sword light flashed and the wind and thunder raged.
The aura on the Sky Slashing Sword was completely released. One sword and two shadows pierced through the body of a wolf beast. The aura was still there as it accurately pierced through the forehead of another wolf beast.
Bang!
The wolf beast did not even have time to howl before its vitality was taken away by the Sky Slashing Sword. Its corpse fell to the ground.
All of this happened in a flash. It was so fast that no one could react.
Luo Lan's eyes widened as she unconsciously exclaimed. What a sharp sword technique. As expected of the champion of the Five Great Martial Houses' selection. In the blink of an eye, he killed three spirit beasts in the Spirit Gathering Realm.
"After practicing the 《Life Tempering Technique》, my physique has improved greatly. My control of the Sky Slashing Sword has also improved." Chu Xingyun said with satisfaction. He glanced around and found that a black shadow had suddenly appeared behind Luo Lan.
"Be careful!" Chu Xingyun shouted and dashed over in a flash. The Sky Slashing Sword was placed in front of his chest.
In an instant, a tyrannical force descended, causing Chu Xingyun's arm to feel numb.
Looking over, the black shadow was a ferocious tiger with sharp fangs. Its two long fangs were pressed against the Sky Slashing Sword, emitting a cold glint. The sound of metal striking metal could be heard.
"Bastard, you actually dare to sneak attack me." Chu Xingyun's eyes darkened. The Sky Slashing Sword once again condensed an invisible wind blade.
However, just as he was about to kill the Saber-toothed Tiger, the remaining wolf beast pounced over at lightning speed. It opened its bloody mouth and charged towards Luo Lan at lightning speed.
