Chapter 281: Chapter 256: The Emergence of the Ancient Demon_1
The spear whistled through the air, its power was extremely terrifying, like the spear of a god falling to earth.
Master Yan did not dare to take it head-on and jumped aside to avoid it.
Boom!
A big pit with a diameter of ten meters was blasted out from the ground.
"The Yan Clan dares to hunt down my Mansion of King Ming, they should be killed."
The bodyguard of King Ming who threw the spear was Xiang Yun, who had accompanied Chu Long to Lingdong to hunt immortals.
Xiang Yun made another leap, surpassing Lu Yan, and slammed a palm towards Master Yan. The overwhelming palm power surged towards Master Yan like a mountain collapsing and a sea overturning.
Master Yan roared loudly, his fists turned red as if they were made of metal, punching continuously.
The clash of fist and palm power was intense, and eventually, Master Yan was pushed back.
Xiang Yun followed closely, flying up, and the spear stuck in the ground flew back to his hand with a pull, whirling out, aiming for Master Yan’s neck.
Master Yan’s face changed, he swung his fist to block, and with a clang, his figure retreated again.
"Brother Xiang is so strong, back when we went hunting immortals, I couldn’t tell because he was beaten down by that immortal,"
Lu Yan praised.
Among those powerful practitioners who went hunting immortals, Xiang Yun and another person were ranked at the bottom.
While Xiang Yun was attacking Master Yan, another bodyguard of King Ming, wielding a two-meter-long broadsword, flew over quickly. His sword chopped out, its radiance surged, spanning thousands of meters in the void, heading towards the man in the black robe.
The man in the black robe had no choice but to drop his bow and draw his sword.
The black-robed man’s sword was slender and long, all bloody red, and he stabbed it out in the air.
Chichi...
The fine sword Qi continuously collided with the coarse sword radiance, dividing and reducing the sword radiance bit by bit.
"Dark Moon Swordsmanship, the Dark Moon organization is also involved in this matter, I think your Dark Moon organization doesn’t need to exist anymore."
The bodyguard of King Ming spoke indifferently, closing in from above, his sword fell down.
This sword, the radiance was restrained, but the power was greatly increased.
The black-robed man did not dare to harden up to it, he dodged to the side with his agility, and in a flash, threw out a handful of green powder, which was obviously highly toxic.
The left hand of the bodyguard of King Ming swept out, and the wind from his palm took away the poison, while his broadsword kept chopping without a pause, sweeping out.
The black-robed man could not dodge in time, he swung his sword to block, and as the swords met, his body dramatically shook, and he was thrown out horizontally.
"Opportunity."
Lu Yan’s eyes brightened, he continuously drew his bow.
Three arrows flew quickly towards the black-robed man, each arrow producing eight sonorous sounds, reaching an extremely fast speed.
The black-robed man was in mid-air, his arm was in severe pain, his Qi-blood was tumbling, and his True Vigor almost scattered. He could only barely swing his sword to fend off, knocking away two arrows, but the third arrow pierced into the waist of the black-robed man.
The black-robed man groaned and fell to the ground.
"Arrow produces eight sounds, good boy."
The bodyguard of King Ming praised, but it did not slow him down, he jumped into the air and chopped down with his sword.
The black-robed man was shot by an arrow and was seriously injured. His strength decreased, and he was no longer a match for the bodyguard of King Ming. He barely fended off a few moves before his head was chopped off by a sword.
A Venerable had fallen.
Assassins were terrifying when they hide in the shadows.
Once exposed, they lose their greatest advantage by facing their enemy head-on.
Master Yan saw this and was greatly horrified, he turned around and tried to run, but he was beaten back by Xiang Yun, he had nowhere to run.
"Sirs, there’s a misunderstanding, my Yan Clan has always been loyal to the Mansion of King Ming, I have no ill intentions, and I have done nothing wrong, you cannot kill me."
Master Yan pleaded.
The Yan Clan was an Honorable Level Feudal Lords under King Ming, and he himself was a Venerable, he was considered a high-ranking person in the Mansion of King Ming, if he did not commit any serious crime, they could not just kill him.
"The Yan Clan used living creatures and humans to cook a kind of evil Martial Food, it’s a grievous sin and deserves death."
Lu Yan roared.
Xiang Yun’s eyes were cold, and his killing intent surged.
Another bodyguard of King Ming rushed over to join the fight after killing the assassin of the Dark Moon organization, and with a single move, Master Yan was pierced through the chest by a spear.
This was Xiang Yun showing mercy, otherwise, this spear could have been fatal.
Next, a palm hit Master Yan’s chest, the terrible palm power demolished all his meridians, even his internal organs had cracks, he was seriously injured and could not fight anymore.
This was not yet over, Xiang Yun made continued moves, breaking all four limbs of Master Yan, leaving him with no power to fight back.
"Lu..."
Xiang Yun was just about to speak, he suddenly remembered something, hurriedly changed his words, "Zhang Wei, where do they cook the Martial Food, lead us to it."
"Let’s go."
Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo took the lead.
Xiang Yun and the other bodyguard looked at Shen Yinuo curiously, they did not recognize her, obviously she was not from the Mansion of King Ming, but seeing her close relationship with Lu Yan, they didn’t say anything more.
Xiang Yun grabbed Master Yan by the neck and followed Lu Yan.
Soon, they returned to the place where they started to cook.
From a distance, they could see the steaming pot.
Those martial chefs could hardly escape from the palm of the Yan Clan, they had long been injured and arrested, and the number of people had decreased a lot, leaving only seven or eight people, their faces pale and full of despair.
Obviously, the other people have been all thrown into the pot.
Just at this moment, another person was thrown in, issuing a scream of despair.
"The Yan Clan, you are audacious!"
The two bodyguards of King Ming had deadly looks on their faces.
"Not good."
Yan Shiqing and others also noticed Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo who had returned, they also spotted the two bodyguards of King Ming and Master Yan who was grasped in Xiang Yun’s hand.
"Yan Clan, you are actually cooking such evil Martial Food here, what are you planning?"
Xiang Yun’s eyes were icy cold.
"Sirs, you must have misunderstood. As for this matter, the Yan Clan will give an explanation later."
Yan Shiqing spoke, but did not stop his hands, continuously patting the bottom of the pot.
In the cauldron, the Martial Chef who had been just thrown in was thoroughly melted.
"Stop cooking the Martial Food right now, I demand an explanation."
Xiang Yun shouted loudly.
However, Yan Shiqing remained unmoved, with a determined look in his eyes, he quietly ordered, "Continue to throw them in."
A Grandmaster from the Yan Clan grabbed another person and threw them into the cauldron.
"How dare you!"
Xiang Yun bellowed in rage, his voice like thunder. He held his spear and charged forward, ready to knock over the cauldron.
"Kill them."
Yan Shiqing let out a long howl, his eyes bloodshot, looking like a man possessed.
Another Martial Venerable from the Yan Clan rushed out, attacking Xiang Yun with a punch.
Inside the castle, two figures dashed out at a speed as fast as the wind, rushing towards another bodyguard of King Ming.
Before they could reach the bodyguard, a flurry of hair-thin hidden weapons had been released towards him and Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.
The bodyguard of King Ming spun his broadsword rapidly, creating a roaring sword Qi, the clanging sounds reverberated as all hidden weapons were blocked.
"The two of you, retreat. These assassins are the top-ranked killers of the Dark Moon Organization, they are extremely dangerous, let me deal with them."
The bodyguard of King Ming stepped forward, slashing his sword and engaged in battle with the two Dark Moon assassins.
But the strength of these two Dark Moon assassins was clearly stronger than the previous one. Both of them together put the bodyguard of King Ming at a disadvantage.
The battle between Xiang Yun and the Martial Venerable from Yan Clan was fierce, and although Xiang Yun had the upper hand, he couldn’t subdue the opponent quickly.
"Throw them in, continue to throw them in, I want them all in."
Yan Shiqing roared.
The remaining Martial Chefs were also thrown into the cauldron, quickly engulfed, and completely dissolved by the black liquid.
Yan Shiqing, his eyes bloodshot, fixed his gaze on the cauldron.
The cauldron was filled with unprecedented thick black fog, and twisted faces appeared within the fog, constantly screaming and howling in despair.
"We must stop them; this Martial Food is extremely evil and related to demonic entities."
Shen Yinuo’s face was stern.
"Overturn that cauldron."
Lu Yan ordered.
With the Starfall Bow in his hand, along with Shen Yinuo, they both sprinted along one side.
Shen Yinuo threw three throwing knives in quick succession.
Lu Yan, as well, fired three arrows.
The three knives and three arrows flew towards the cauldron from different directions.
"You dare..."
Yan Shiqing roared in anger, True Vigor burst out like a tide. The arrows and throwing knives immediately became as unstable as small boats in the storm, shaking and finally falling to the ground.
Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo didn’t stop, they made another series of moves.
The arrows and throwing knives traced mysterious arcs, their trajectories unpredictable, making it difficult for Yan Shiqing to anticipate.
Clang!
Yan Shiqing kicked the bottom of the cauldron, making it fly high into the sky to dodge the arrows and knives, then he threw two punches to knock down the remaining arrows and knives.
Finally, with a leap, he caught the cauldron and landed smoothly on the ground.
"This guy is even stronger than the other two Martial Venerables from the Yan Clan."
Lu Yan’s eyes hardened. Just as he was about to draw his bow, more than a dozen masters of Master Level from the Yan Clan attacked them from different directions.
There were even masters of archery who fired arrows at them.
The two of them, relying on their agility, avoided the attacks, went around to the side, and continued to shoot arrows and throwing knives.
"Damn scoundrel..."
Yan Shiqing’s eyes turned blood red. He held the cauldron and dodged with all his might, even using his body to block the attacks. Eventually, he successfully avoided the attacks, but his shoulder was hit by an arrow.
However, his Cultivation Level was high, his True Body strong, and his True Vigor condensed. The arrow only penetrated half an inch before it was stopped.
At this moment, Yan Shiqing’s face lit up with joy.
There was a huge change in the cauldron. The rich black fog quickly condensed, and the black liquid inside also condensed into a mass.
Clang!
Yan Shiqing put down the cauldron. Letting two arrows fly towards the cauldron, he reached out and grabbed a black sphere, resembling a Martial Pill, from the air.
Thump, Thump.
The two arrows hit the cauldron and smashed it into pieces.
Yan Shiqing leapt up and landed several kilometers away, then he threw the Martial Pill in his hand into the ground.
It was then that Lu Yan noticed that there seemed to be a well around that area and Yan Shiqing had thrown the Martial Pill into the well.
Roar!
A terrifying roar came from the well, causing the ground to shake slightly.
Then, a demonic Qi so dense it was almost tangible rushed out from the well, looking like a pillar of black air.
"Demonic Qi, it’s a demon. There is a demon hidden in that well."
Shen Yinuo’s face turned pale.
The faces of Xiang Yun and the other also changed drastically.
"The Breath of an Ancient Demon, there’s an Ancient Demon hidden here. You cooked the evil Martial Pill to save the demon."
Xiang Yun roared.
"The Yan Clan should be exterminated."
The other bodyguard of King Ming was livid with rage.
"Hahaha, when the Ancient Demon emerges and obeys the Yan Clan, what can the Mansion of King Ming do to us?"
Yan Shiqing laughed loudly.
Roar!
The roaring sounded like thunder, the ground shattered, and a huge figure rose into the sky, covered with demonic Qi that filled half of the sky.
