Chapter 99: Sudden Attack

  Deep in the forest under the curtain of heaven.

  The Du family proceeded slowly forward, the fierce beast let out a low growl, Du Yunshang walked at the front of the group and suddenly raised his hand to make a halting gesture.

  The heavenly soldiers in front and back stabilized the fierce beast, under Du Yun Song's indication, half of these heavenly soldiers took action, flying towards the surrounding dense forest to search for small wild beasts everywhere.

  The ferocious beasts are hungry and must be satisfied; otherwise they will not proceed quietly on their journey, but will make trouble.

  Du Yun Song and several other heavenly warriors dispersed, surrounding the low-roaring ferocious beasts in the center. The other heavenly warriors were talking and laughing softly, but Du Yun Song remained silent throughout.

  A three-tailed fox was running wildly in the thick weeds, when a Heaven's Chosen suddenly appeared behind it and chased after it with lightning speed. A cold arrow shot out and struck the fox, which was just an ordinary small beast, and nailed it to the ground before it could even dodge.

  This man attached to the Du family walked over slowly and arrived beside the three-tailed wild fox, stretching out his hand to grab the three-tailed wild fox that was nailed to the ground.

  Pfft!

  A dagger suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pierced through his back, blood gushing out and staining the wild grass red.

  Kneeling down, Ji Changkong suddenly shot out, caught the flying dagger with one hand, and turned back to stab again.

  After confirming that the person was dead, Ji Changkong grabbed his body and dragged it to a deep pit that had already been prepared, burying him. The blood-stained weeds were also quickly cleaned up, leaving no trace behind.

  "It's the third one."

  He wiped the small dagger with a piece of tattered cloth, looked up and glanced to his left, then squatted down again with an icy expression, advancing cautiously forward without making any sound.

  Waaah! Waaah!

  A strange voice suddenly rang out, and Du Jiatian, who was dragging a few small wild beasts back, looked around impatiently and cursed: "Damn it, the sky is full of mosquitoes in Mantian Forest, and the sound is more unpleasant than anywhere else."

  "Damn it! Still staring at me!"

  He shouted loudly and with one hand pulled the beast's corpse, while with the other hand he slapped the "mosquito" that had been staring at him.

  "Hmm... Hmm... Hmm..."

  A few slaps later, the "mosquito" didn't die, but he became unbearably uncomfortable, his consciousness gradually blurred, and finally let out a few weak cries of fear, his body stiffened and fell to the ground.

  He emerged from a hollowed-out tree, and Ji Changkong quickly approached the corpse while paying attention to his surroundings, dragging away both the body and the wild beast that had been knocked down.

  Du Yun Song furrowed his brow and scowled, shouting: "How come there are still four who haven't returned? What's going on?"

  "Maybe I chased a bit too far." Ba Li Zhe explained hastily with a face full of injuries.

  "Go and find them, tell them to hurry back, we still have a long way to go!" Du Yun Song ordered impatiently.

  Baili Zhang hastily agreed and immediately went outside to find someone. After shouting around for a while, he didn't hear any response. Baili Zhang became anxious, feeling that something was not quite right.

  Four people, one didn't come back, it's already a bit unusual. Under his loud shouting, no one responded, which is even stranger.

  Baili Qie began to be careful, every step was cautious and vigilant, his spirit was on high alert.

  Baili Mei has the cultivation of Wuxing Tian's boundary, and among the many foreign surname guards in the Du family, he is also a number one figure. He himself has rich combat experience, and for many years, he has been engaged in the work of guarding fierce beasts, seeing many strange things, and having his own set of methods to deal with abnormal situations.

  He didn't dare to investigate further, and as soon as he felt something was amiss, he immediately began to retreat, planning to report the matter to Du Yun Song first and see how he would handle it.

  Suddenly, a chill breath swept over in an instant.

  Ba Li Zhang's whole body suddenly felt a chill, his eyes gleaming brightly as he looked around in all directions, and his mouth shouted out loud: "Something is amiss!"

  A silver light flashed suddenly in the void, and a chill spread directly from his body. In an instant, Baili's hands and feet stiffened, and his teeth chattered.

  Hmph!

  A sharp dagger suddenly emerged from under his feet and pierced through the sole of his foot.

  The cold air was even more severe, and he didn't have time to shout loudly. Baili Qian's whole body went numb, and suddenly he lost consciousness.

  "Ba Li Zhang!" Du Yun Song came upon hearing the voice and quickly approached.

  One hand stretched out, and with a pull, Baoli's body was dragged into the soft mud. The ground seemed to have a hidden cave, and soon Baoli's body was swallowed up.

  Du Yun Song rushed to the scene where the voice came from and shouted: "Bai Li Zhe, what's going on? Where are you? What happened?"

  No one responded.

  Du Yun Song realized the crisis, previously four people had gone missing without reason, and now even Bai Li Zhang who was sent to find them had also disappeared, it was clear that someone was lurking in the woods to deal with them.

  Du Yun Song released his divine soul in a special way, and with all his might sensed the situation within a certain range around him.

  Nothing unusual at all!

  Du Yun Song became somewhat tense, loudly calling out to the Du family guards who were watching over the fierce beasts. With a serious face, he instructed: "It should be that we've encountered a formidable person. Even with my divine soul released, I couldn't discover any abnormalities. The strength of this person shouldn't be inferior to mine! Bai Li and the others may already be finished. Everyone be careful, three people in each group go out to take a look at the situation, absolutely do not disperse."

  "Got it."

  The heavenly warriors summoned by Du Yun Song, in groups of three, with Du Yun Song at the center, searched around.

  After a while, everyone returned to Du Yun Song's side one by one, shaking their heads, indicating that they had not found any clues.

  Du Yun's heart sank, and he naturally took the hidden ambusher as a true super strongman.

  "Set off immediately, leave Mutian Forest at the fastest speed, and boost your morale. No one is allowed to disperse. The journey of Mutian Forest should not be so smooth, for the sake of the Du family, for your own sake, be careful! " After Du Yun Song finished speaking, he came to the front of the team again and led the way forward.

  These people's grudges against him, Du Yun Song didn't take them to heart at all.

  ...killed five people in a row, including Baili Che who had the Five Elements Heaven Boundary, and Ji Changkong's courage grew gradually.

  With the help of Tai Xuan's secret record, he merged with the mysterious and hidden abilities of heaven and earth, as well as the terrifying icy power of Yin Pupil. Even Bai Li Zhe, who was a whole realm above him, was easily defeated by him. His goal changed, and he gained confidence in taking down Du Yun Song.

  In the Mu Tian Forest, he who cultivated the Tai Xu Secret Record was like a man without a shadow. Even Du Yun Song couldn't sense his existence with his divine soul, which made him more and more unscrupulous in his actions.

  A ghostly figure emerged from the dense foliage of a large tree, and at the base of the tree, a Taoist priest from the Du family suddenly became alert, looked up, and shouted: "There's someone in the tree!"

  Frosty air is dense and heavy, silver light flashes suddenly.

  This outsider of the Du family only had time to shout once, then his whole body stiffened, and after a severe pain in his neck, his good head flew into the sky.

  Dujia Tian Shi rushed over from the front and arrived at this side. After arriving, he only saw a corpse with blood splattered all over the ground.

  All of the Du family's heavenly masters, including Du Yun Song, were filled with fear and had extremely unsightly expressions.

  On the way, people around them would disappear from the team as long as they were a little careless. From start to finish, they didn't see a shadow of an enemy. This invisible pressure brought them more terror, and no one had the mood to chat and laugh along the way anymore.

  Du Yun Song was also afraid, he had no idea who the person was who was secretly taking action, nor did he know what their purpose was, and even more so, he didn't know how profound the other party's abilities were. This feeling of being unable to grasp any situation is extremely unbearable for anyone.

  Especially those heavenly warriors who followed him out, one by one were killed, he was powerless and helpless, which made the usually calm him gradually become furious.

  And his lack of calmness was exactly what Ji Changkong had in mind.

  The more anxious and angry he became, the more likely he was to make mistakes. As he watched those around him being killed one by one, he knew that if he didn't do something soon, these outsiders would be thoroughly disappointed with the Du family, and it would even affect the reputation of the Du family members outside.

  The value of the deaths of the heavenly masters around him had far exceeded that of this batch of fierce beasts. Looking at it, he still needed to spend a day to get out of the Mu Tian Forest. Du Yunyang finally issued an order - find out who was behind the scenes.

  Du Yun Song's method was simple - lure the opponent out.

  Including him, only seven Tian Shi were left. He let the other six people form pairs and keep a distance that could be mutually supported, with him as the center, dispersing in all directions to wait for Ji Changkong's next move.

  Du Yun Song stood alone with the fierce beast, pacing back and forth restlessly, waiting for any unusual movement to appear, and then immediately chasing after the person according to the method he had previously given.

  The Du family, as one of the seven major families, has a large household and business, with some special Tian Shi Lingbao that can be used. The Soul Lock Chain is a special spirit treasure of the Du family that connects multiple people's souls together, forming a vast soul network covering an extremely large area.

  The six Celestial Masters connected by the Soul Locking Chain, if any one of them encountered an abnormality, the others would immediately sense it through their divine souls. Since the Soul Locking Chain was somewhat detrimental to the divine soul, generally speaking, no one would be willing to connect their divine souls. However, under the current special circumstances and at Du Yun's command, these six remaining people had no choice but to link their divine souls with his.

  Right next to the fierce beast, Du Yun Song had a spiritual connection with the Soul Locking Chain. He was like he suddenly grew six more eyes. The extensions of the six people's souls would all reflect in his soul, allowing him to clearly perceive each person's situation.

  Six people scattered around, Du Yun Song alone stayed on the side of the fierce beast, using the Soul Lock Chain to observe the movements on that side.

  This time, Ji Changkong's main goal is not someone else, but Du Yuncong, a member of the Du family. He knows that only someone like Du Yuncong, who is from the same clan as him, would be likely to know the secrets surrounding his parents' disappearance - this is what he truly wants to find out.

  As soon as the Soul Lock Chain appeared, he keenly sensed its wonderful use and became cautious in his actions.

  Shouldn't we take advantage of the fact that no one else is around and make a move on Du Yun Song? There's a soul-locking chain, if we can't take down Du Yun Song immediately, others will soon come to his rescue, which would be very dangerous.

  It's done! After hesitating for a moment, Ji Changkong suddenly made up his mind and quietly approached Du YunSong.
