Chapter 232: Chapter 207: Overwhelming Victory, The Battle Ends_1
"Senior, the Spirit Sect’s experts can’t be allowed to escape. They will pose endless troubles in the future. Let’s pursue and kill them with Blood Slaughter and Blood Kill."
Lu Yan said to Guan Shan as he charged forward.
Whack!
A first-level master Monster King was split by Lu Yan’s knife, shattering its Demon Evils Crystal.
His next stroke killed a second-rank master Monster King, likewise shattering its crystal.
These monsters did not flee. Commanded by the Martial Spirits, they launched wild attacks, trying to buy time for the Martial Spirits to escape.
Guan Shan also rushed over, killing two more monsters.
Given Lu Yan and Guan Shan’s strength, killing these first and second-rank master Monsters was as easy as chopping melons and cutting vegetables.
In the blink of an eye, they had killed six or seven of them.
Lu Yan stepped onto the back of Blood Slaughter. As Blood Slaughter flew, when it passed by the Chasing Star Arrow avatar, the avatar jumped up and landed next to Lu Yan.
Afterward, Blood Slaughter quickly flapped its wings, soaring a thousand meters into the air towards outside Kunwu Mountain.
Lu Yan stood atop the eagle’s back, scanning his surroundings.
Soon, he saw a figure running wildly.
It was a first-level master Martial Spirit.
Li Xinghen.
Indeed, enemies often cross paths.
Li Xinghen was incredibly cunning. He realized something was wrong when the Spirit Sect’s Duo Zhu retreated. He turned and fled ahead of time, which was why he managed to avoid being stopped by second-rank masters like Zhao Tianyang, Ding Jiasheng, and others.
"Blood Slaughter, go down," Lu Yan ordered.
Blood Slaughter dived.
Lu Yan took the horn bow from his Avatar and aimed at Li Xinghen.
Li Xinghen seemed to sense something, he looked up to the sky and his pupils shrank.
"Lu Yan..." Li Xinghen roared.
Whoosh!
An arrow flew out, like a falling meteor. No matter how hard Li Xinghen tried to resist, he was blown to pieces along with his Martial Spirit, completely annihilated.
Blood Slaughter continued to fly forward.
"Another one."
Lu Yan’s eyes lit up.
In the forest below, another person was running at full speed. It was a second-rank master protector from the Spirit Sect.
Blood Slaughter descended, several arrows successively fell.
The man roared, desperately resisting.
The strength of a second-rank master is much stronger than that of a first-rank one. He blocked a few arrows at the cost of severe injuries.
However, Lu Yan shot a few more arrows and finally killed this man.
"There should be two more second-rank masters," Lu Yan thought silently.
Swoosh!
Blood Slaughter flew out.
On the other side, Guan Shan also mounted Blood Kill and flew into the sky to pursue and kill.
Not long after.
"There’s one here, leave him to me," Guan Shan’s voice echoed from afar as Blood Kill dived.
"There should be another one, presumably the large bat-like creature that can fly," Lu Yan figured.
With a thought, Chasing Star Arrow returned to Lu Yan’s body, and Blood Slaughter sped up in the high altitude.
"Over there..."
Lu Yan looked northward, seeing a dark dot at least ten miles away from him.
If not for his keen eyesight, it would not have been easy to spot.
Blood Slaughter dived towards the black dot with full force.
Blood Slaughter’s speed was noticeably faster, a natural airborne ruler.
The distance between the two was closing rapidly.
Lu Yan finally saw clearly that it was indeed the bat-like Martial Spirit that could fly.
Seeing Blood Slaughter pursuing him, the man panicked and flapped his wings desperately. However, no matter how hard he struggled, he was still not as fast as Blood Slaughter.
Shortly, the distance between them was just hundreds of meters.
Whoosh!
Lu Yan released an arrow.
The man quickly dodged, however, Lu Yan’s subsequent arrows kept flying out.
The third arrow hit the man’s wing. Unable to maintain balance, he started falling.
Blood Slaughter dived down, and Lu Yan shot another arrow, blowing up the man mid-air.
Then a succession of arrows rained down.
Thud!
In the end, the man’s Martial Spirit inside his body exploded, turning into ashes.
"Except for Senior Guan Shan and the others dealing with the Red Gold Ape, all the second-rank masters from the Spirit Sect should have been wiped out," Lu Yan pondered, letting Blood Slaughter circle around the area, trying to catch on to the traces of the Spirit Sect’s Duo Zhu.
Unfortunately, after scouting a large area, they found no trace.
By this time, Lu Yan saw Guan Shan also flying over on Blood Kill.
Apparently, the second-rank Master Spirit that he was chasing had been killed.
"How is it, Lu Yan?" Guan Shan asked.
"All of the second-rank Master Martial Spirits from the Spirit Sect should have been taken care of. It’s a pity that the Duo Zhu managed to escape," Lu Yan sighed.
"That Duo Zhu, despite her young age, has reached the fourth-level Master and cultivated top martial arts, she must be a genius from the Spirit Sect. It won’t be easy to kill her, so don’t be discouraged. Let’s finish off the remaining members of their sect," Guan Shan suggested.
The two rode a Blood Eagle back home.
On the way, they saw a first-level Grandmaster from the Spirit Sect trying to escape desperately.
Behind him, Zhao Tianxing and a master from the Ding Family were pursuing him.
Lu Yan shot an arrow, killing this Martial Spirit.
With the addition of Lu Yan and Guan Shan, the battle that followed was without suspense.
For each Demon Evil and Martial Spirit of first-level Grandmaster, Lu Yan only needed one arrow to kill them.
With Blood Slaughter and Blood Kill patrolling in the sky, it was impossible for the Demon Evils and Martial Spirits to escape.
In a short time, all the Demon Evils and Martial Spirits who had come to Kunwu Mountain, except for one Duo Zhu, were wiped out.
This battle could be considered a great success.
Of course, the losses on the side of Kunwu Mountain were also severe.
Firstly, two third-level Monster Kings died, along with over five hundred other Alien Beasts, with most having been killed in an attempt to restrain the Martial Spirit.
Also, many elites of Master Level also died in battle.
For second-rank Masters, there were Wei Changkong and Ding Long.
For first-level Masters, there was one from the Zhao Clan and two from the Ding Family.
With this, the Zhao Clan only had two Grandmasters left, Zhao Tianyang and Zhao Tianxing, both at the second-rank Master Level.
The Ding Family had three left, one second-rank Master and two first-level Masters.
Li Xingchen was fiercely injured, but he survived by luck.
The hundreds of martial soldiers that Lu Yan had brought, and a few martial marquis who were stationed in the rear, didn’t participate in the battle.
The main reason was that this was a grandmaster-level battle and the presence of these martial soldiers would make no difference. Without the relentless fearlessness of the Alien Beasts, they would most likely collapse at the first touch.
Lu Yan arranged for them to clean the battlefield.
Soon, several bodies, with Chu Chenzhou’s body among them, were laid down side by side.
Everyone bowed their heads in deep salute.
This time, the strength of the Spirit Sect exceeded their expectations.
If Chu Chenzhou hadn’t stormed out halfway through the battle and Lu Yan hadn’t broken through, they all would have died, and been wiped out by the Spirit Sect.
"What should we do next?" Zhao Tianyang asked.
"The Qiu Family, Ouyang Family, Bai Clan, Fang Family, and Gao Family only sent Grandmaster-level Martial Spirits. There must be more Martial Spirits left, so the pressing matter is to go to these Feudal Lords and find these Martial Spirits with the Demon Bone. Otherwise, once these Martial Spirits hear the news and hide, it would be a great threat," Guan Shan suggested.
"The second thing to do is to join forces and head to Moling Mountain. Check if there are any Martial Spirits or Demon Evils guarding the passageway on Moling Mountain. Kill them, clear the passageway, send someone to the Mansion of King Ming, and report the trouble caused by the Martial Spirits to the Mansion of King Ming."
"The Mansion of King Ming will certainly send its masters. With this, we won’t need to worry about potential retaliation from the Spirit Sect."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement with Guan Shan’s suggestion.
After they had hurriedly dug a few holes and buried Chu Chenzhou and the others, they set off immediately.
Kunwu Mountain is in Qingfeng County, very close to the Fang Family and Bai Clan.
They decided to split up.
Lu Yan asked Li Xingchen to go back to Changfeng City first, just in case.
He, along with Zhao Tianyang, rode Blood Slaughter towards the Fang Family.
Guan Shan rode Blood Kill towards the Bai Clan with two Grandmasters.
Blood Slaughter spread its wings, flying across the sky, and soon arrived at the Blood Land Vein where the Fang Family was situated.
"What’s that?"
"An alien beast, its aura is terrifying."
When Blood Slaughter swept over the Blood Land Vein, the martial soldiers of the Fang Family were greatly surprised.
A bunch of martial soldiers gathered and aimed their bows and arrows, armor-piercing crossbows and the likes, at Blood Slaughter.
"Don’t attack. This is a Grandmaster-level Alien Beast. We shouldn’t start a war recklessly. I will go and report to the Clan Elder," a warrior at Martial Marquis Level Five, who caught the horror of Blood Slaughter, urged, holding the martial soldiers back from acting rashly and avoiding triggering a terrible situation.
Soon, a Grandmaster of the Fang Family appeared.
The Fang Family originally had four Grandmasters.
But a few years ago, the Lord of the Fang Family, the only second-rank Master of the Fang Family, suddenly died of severe injuries, leaving only three Grandmasters.
In the previous battle at Kunwu Mountain, the Fang Family lost two first-level Masters. Now, the Fang Family had only one Grandmaster left.
Whoosh!
Blood Slaughter dove down, making the Grandmaster and numerous martial soldiers of the Fang Family break out in a cold sweat.
However, they managed to hold back from attacking.
They had already seen the two men on the back of the eagle.
Given that they rode the Grandmaster-level Alien Beast, one could imagine their strength. They must be masters too.
Now, the other two Grandmasters of the Fang Family were out on business, and with only one Grandmaster left, he didn’t dare to start a battle with several Grandmasters.
Soon, the Grandmaster of the Fang Family got a clear view of the two figures.
He didn’t recognize a man in his twenties.
But he recognized the other.
As they were hundreds of meters from the ground, Lu Yan and Zhao Tianyang jumped off the eagle’s back.
"So it’s Brother Zhao Tianyang. It’s good to hear that you are fine despite the fall of Lingwang City," the Grandmaster of the Fang Family revelaled a smile and said with a fist and a palm salute.
"Fang Ri, gather all the Martial Marquis of the Fang Family. There’s an important announcement to be made," Zhao Tianyang ordered.
Mister Fang Ri of the Fang Family, a first-rank Master, looked worried. "Gather all the Martial Marquis? I don’t know what the matter is. Some of our Marquis are in important positions and can’t be moved easily."
Lu Yan stepped forward and approached Fang Ri, his voice ice-cold, "You misunderstood one thing. We’re not discussing with you. We’re ordering you. Hurry up. We don’t have much time to waste talking with you."
Certainly, how could Fang Ri, a Grandmaster and with so many people watching, tolerate Lu Yan talking to him in such a manner? His face darkened immediately as he said, "And who might you be to dare to...
Whoosh!
Lu Yan’s figure suddenly disappeared and was, the next moment, right in front of Fang Ri. He grabbed Fang Ri’s throat, lifting him up like a small chicken.
Fang Ri was shocked.
He didn’t see how Lu Yan made his move, and the Inner Strength flowing from Lu Yan’s hand suffocated his own Inner Strength. He struggled frantically, but it was of no use. With Lu Yan applying force to his hand, Fang Ri’s face turned red, and his eyes seemed about to pop out.
"El...Elder..."
Each one of the martial soldiers of the Fang Family, including the Martial Marquis, showed fear on their faces as their bodies trembled slightly from the shock.
Their Clan Elder, a high-ranking Martial Arts Grandmaster who could charge through a myriad of soldiers, was like a small chicken waiting to be slaughtered in front of Lu Yan, completely helpless.
