Chapter 37: Blood Battle in the Jungle
"You're running in the wrong direction! We need to get out of the forest quickly, not run deeper into it!" Eriol anxiously grabbed onto Tang Yan.
"Leave? You think we can leave?! Rush to where the demonic beasts are numerous, only this way can we have a glimmer of hope." Tang Yan suddenly broke free from Ailin's grasp and used his Shadow Dance technique to continuously increase their speed. Facing the pursuit of the many martial spirits and sects from the Wang Manor, with their current strength it was almost impossible for them to escape alive from the dense forest, they would be intercepted in less than an hour. The only way was to desperately rush towards the depths of the dense forest, trying to disturb some super demonic beasts as much as possible, and use the chaos to create a chance for survival.
"Are you trying to risk your life?" Looking at Tang Yan's crazy face, Ailinda was shocked.
"I don't want to sit and wait for death! Let's go!!" Tang Yan continuously urged on his spiritual power, the mysterious shadowy martial arts techniques were constantly being displayed, in the forest, a dizzying afterimage was flashing about, at the same time stimulating the seven major acupoints of his right eye, a wicked aura began to swirl around him, ready to counterattack at any moment.
Ailin took a deep breath, Tang Yan was right, she could only borrow the power of the demon beast! Now it's not possible to be calm!
But... this little guy is so fast!
The battle in the rear of Wu Wang's battlefield became more and more fierce, with a huge momentum that almost awakened the entire mountain range. Under Tang Qiang's deliberate guidance, the battlefield continued to change positions, with thunder, lightning, frost, and flames destroying the surrounding forest in large tracts. The chaotic momentum surged again and again, not only dispersing the surrounding demonic beasts but also awakening some super characters.
Finally!! Not long after the collision burst, a sharp whistle like a golden crack in the stone suddenly came from the distant mountain range. A giant bird with a golden body flapped its wings and soared into the sky, stirring up a massive whirlwind. The golden giant bird emitted a dazzling light under the night sky, and after circling high in the air for several laps, it dived towards their battlefield with its head facing them.
In the depths of a valley, separated by three high peaks, a deep whirlpool suddenly appeared in the quiet and deep pool. A giant crocodile struggled to climb up, its body covered with palm-sized blue scales that shone coldly in the moonlight, its ferocious head looked menacing, and its 20-meter-long massive body caused violent shaking as it crawled towards the mountain top, sending out water vapor that froze the surrounding trees.
Before long, the giant crocodile crawled to the top of the mountain, looked up at the sky and let out a loud roar, as if it was showing off its power to Tang Qiang and others, and also as if it was provoking the golden giant bird in the sky, with an extremely majestic momentum!
"It's it, go go go!!" Tang Yan noticed the appearance of the Terror Crocodile, and with a mix of shock and excitement, he quickly changed direction and rushed towards that mountainous area.
"That's... an Ice Crystal Crocodile?! A level 5 peak demon beast!" Elynda's face turned pale, if such a massive creature were to go berserk, they would be equivalent to 'takeout', however... feeling the pursuit team getting closer and closer, Elynda gritted her teeth and chased after Tang Yan.
"We've finally found you!!" Before they could run out of the 300 meters, a man in white clothes suddenly rushed out from the slanting direction, threw a violent symbol card into the air, and charged towards Tang Yan with his sword.
Tang Yan decisively unleashed the Mystic Shadow martial skill, instantly creating three residual shadows that narrowly avoided the sword blade of the white-clothed man, while anxiously urging: "Kill him!!"
Ailin dashes forth, a blue long sword unfolding its sharp blade, fiercely slashing past.
The white-clothed man only had a three-stage Wu Ling strength, facing the full-force attack of a Wu Zong-level expert, he could not help but dodge and evade.
But...
"Annihilation's Eye!!" Tang Yan employed his Shadow Dance technique to suddenly intercept the white-clothed person's evasive trajectory, unleashing a long-accumulated Annihilation Beam that shot out, mixed with intense resentment and an evil aura.
The man in white's pupils suddenly constricted, a thread of fear flashing across the bottom of his eyes, and before he could react, he was struck in the chest cavity.
Tang Yan had already advanced to the Wu Ling level and had absorbed over a dozen Spirit Source liquids, causing the power of his Jie Ming Zhiguang to increase several times. In an instant, he shattered the protective spirit energy surrounding the white-robed man and injured the muscles in his chest cavity.
"Die!!" Tang Yan suddenly jumped up, his fists surging with cyan flames smashed into the person's wounded chest. Without the protection of a guardian spirit, this punch landed solidly on him, and the cyan flames poured into the wound opened by the extinguishing eye, fiercely drilling inside.
Ah! The man in white robes let out a blood-curdling scream, never having expected to be ambushed and injured in the blink of an eye.
Ailinda swiftly arrived, her blue long sword emitting a dense ice crystal to slash towards the white-clothed person's throat with a tearing force, the timing grasped perfectly!!
Alynda was indeed a true warrior, and with one strike she cut open the white-robed man's throat, sending scarlet blood spraying into the air.
"Stop bothering me, go!!" Tang Yan really wanted to refine him with Qing Huo, but the violent symbol card he had urged to release had already exploded in mid-air, and the dazzling light attracted the attention of the nearby white-clothed people.
"Where did that beam of light come from just now?" Eriinda asked while fleeing, she was also shocked by the beam of light earlier, not only because of the evil aura it emitted but also its powerful piercing force. Although the white-clothed man was injured without intentionally defending himself, to break through a third-stage warrior's protective spiritual energy with the strength of a first-stage warrior was still somewhat frightening to hear.
"When did you agree to be with me? I will definitely explain it well!"
"You're incorrigible!" Elinda glared at Tang Yan fiercely.
Tang Yan didn't have the time to deal with her, he was sprinting at full speed while being vigilant of the white-robed people closing in on them from all sides. The more he looked at their faces, the uglier they became. The violent symbol card had attracted too much attention, and they were almost surrounded.
"Hurry up!!" Eriinda was getting impatient.
"You can't escape!!" Three men in white robes somersaulted through the air, landing on the branches of the trees in front. In an instant, waves of icy cold air shot towards them.
"Get out of the way!!" Eriinda suddenly accelerated and blocked the strong frost in front of Tang Yan.
Tang Yan didn't stop for a moment, his eyes fixed on the front, and at the moment when Ailinda intercepted him, he suddenly sprinted to the side of the tree trunk, made several leaps, and rushed towards the white-clothed person, bursting out a loud roar in mid-air, and directly swung his knife to chop.
The white-clothed man's heart was filled with disdain, and he didn't even use his martial skills. He simply used a simple knife interception to deal with this small Martial Spirit-level guy, which still didn't allow him to go all out.
But just as the two knives clashed, Tang Yan's right eye suddenly burst out with an evil beam of light, and in an instant, it shot out and fiercely rushed towards the person's forehead!!
Huh? What kind of thing is this? The white-clothed person's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly dodged to the side.
"Inferno Double Strike!!" Tang Yan roared in his heart, a thick blue flame covering the long knife. Two consecutive slashes were swung out in the blink of an eye, slashing towards the person's throat. The two knives were swung out in four seconds, although far from the two seconds required for the Inferno Double Strike, but still managed to form a certain cumulative force. With the addition of the special burning ability of the Ghostly Blue Fire, one knife hit its mark, breaking through the protective spiritual energy and successfully slashing at the person's throat.
As the blade ravaged, a scarlet bloodline immediately splashed towards the vast sky.
The difference in strength was ultimately too great, and it only broke the skin without hurting the inside. However, the ghostly blue flame stuck to the wound and quickly spread inward. The white-clothed man let out a mournful cry, hastily urging his spiritual energy to expel the flames and recover from his injuries.
The encirclement of the blockade ring cracked, and Tang Yan rushed out without hesitation.
"Everyone be careful, this bastard's martial arts are somewhat unusual!" The white-clothed man retreated in defeat, not forgetting to loudly shout a warning to his companions.
"That freak is just a martial spirit, little guy, your luck won't save you for the rest of your life! See where else you can escape!" Two Martial Ancestor-level imperial guards blocked Tang Yan's path one after another. This time, without holding back anything, a lightning bolt and a wind blade came crashing down with an unstoppable momentum."
Faced with the combined force of the two martial arts, Tang Yan was powerless to dodge. In a flash, Eryndor Thorne arrived just in time to rescue him, barely holding off the Thunderclaw and Windslash. However... The terrifying destructive power instantly left Eryndor severely injured, with four or five bloody wounds on his body.
"Aileen, mentor?" Tang Yan's heart slightly trembled.
"Run!!" Eriinda stumbled backward, let out a delicate cry, and charged again at the two great martial clans that were closing in.
"Little guy, who can save you?" Tang Yan hadn't even turned around when a burly man suddenly appeared behind him, his massive palm slamming into the back of Tang Yan's neck, unleashing enormous force that seemed to want to snap his neck in two.
Tang Yan's face suddenly turned cold, and the dim green fire that had been surrounding his throat area suddenly surged out, as if it had a life of its own, wrapping itself around the giant's right hand. If it were just ordinary flames, they wouldn't have any effect on a strong warrior like Wu Zong, but the dim green fire was a rare heavenly flame, and even in its youthful stage, it still possessed terrifying burning power.
"Ah!!" A sharp pain suddenly appeared, and the strong man hastily withdrew his hand.
Tang Yan's sudden turn, the light of extinction burst out, fiercely rushing towards the strong man's eyes, not seeking to cause harm, but only hoping to shock him back, while using all his strength to dodge and climb towards the top of the tree in front.
"Can't you just go to heaven?" More and more white-robed figures gathered, looking at Tang Yan's swift and agile movements with disdainful cold smiles. They joined forces to release a chilling icy air, and layers of frost quickly spread from the roots of the tree to its crown.
Tang Yan charged towards the top of the tree crown, not having time to catch his breath, and with all his might, he urged on the mysterious shadow martial arts. As a legacy of the Yang family, it was not just about increasing speed; when the surging spiritual energy was suppressed at the tip of his feet, it burst out with powerful propulsion. Before the frost touched the tip of his feet, Tang Yan was like a hunting hawk, pouncing into the sky and flipping over with great amplitude, directly landing on the top of the tree crown ten meters away.
Huh? The white-clothed people who were chasing after him clearly all got stunned for a moment. Can it still be played like this?
"Good job!" But Eriol took the opportunity to burst out 'Deep Blue Butterfly Dance', triggering a dense explosion, and rushed out of the encirclement in a rather embarrassed manner.
"Little rascal, have you had enough?!" A sudden cry pierced the air as Zhou Lingluo appeared out of nowhere, her iron leg sweeping horizontally to strike Tang Yan's chest and abdomen once again. At the same time, a powerful icy aura burst forth from her ankle, shooting towards Tang Yan's entire body.
Tang Yan lost his voice and hummed, while being heavily hit, he became a crystal clear ice sculpture. He continuously smashed a large number of branches and crashed to the ground. Due to the impact force being too strong, the frost covering his entire body was full of cracks.
Tang Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a hysterical roar burst out, the dark green flames actually attached to his entire body, instantly shattering all the ice frost on his body.
Looking at the struggling 'Fire Man' getting up, the surrounding crowd was shocked again. A martial artist of the Martial Spirit level actually possessed such a strong spiritual power? It's probably difficult for even a third-level Martial Spirit to achieve this!
At this moment, in the depths of Tang Yan's ocean of energy, the Blood Doll reappeared, sitting cross-legged with its eyes closed amidst the turbulent energy. A dense and rich blood energy surged towards the 'Life Mist' at the bottom of the energy sea, stimulating it to release a powerful life force and spiritual power that continuously poured into Tang Yan's meridians.
However, the Blood Doll's forced intervention was not so easy and casual. The golden runes all over his body began to emerge, slowly wrapping around him, and brutally scorching his body. His tender cheeks were twisted in pain, and even though he tried to suppress it, a faint moan still escaped from the corner of his mouth.
