C405 Accidentally Killed
Ever since they passed by Gu Lian Che, the two of them had always rushed back as fast as they could because they were worried that they would be intercepted by the other party. Of course, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't compare to Gu Lian, and if they had to hide their tracks, they naturally wouldn't be able to catch up to the Yin Yang Mystical Ginseng.
Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of the thorn forest. The two saw that the originally lush thorn forest was now nowhere to be seen. There was only a messy and muddy land.
"I never thought that this place would be destroyed. Looks like the person who attacked had a deep grudge …"
After walking for a while and seeing the changes around him, Lingyun could not help but sigh.
With that said, he quickened his pace with Qiu Yimin, hoping that he would be able to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
To this, Qiu Yiming naturally didn't say anything. After all, being able to stay with this man was the best outcome for her. No matter what she wanted to do, it would be the same.
…
Just like that, after several hours of long sprinting, the two of them ran out of the strange forest and finally arrived at the center of the Thousand Monster Mountain.
If he could maintain this speed while travelling, then he would probably be able to leave the Thousand Monster Mountain by nightfall and fly at full speed back to the palace of the Jade Heaven City Lord. At that time, all dangers would be solved.
"I really didn't expect that you would actually get to know an existence like Lord Xuanyuan. Truly extraordinary." While rushing on their way, Qiu Yi Min praised Ling Yun Fan in extreme surprise after hearing him explain what he knew about Xuanyuan Hao and the others.
"It's just a coincidence."
Upon hearing these words, he shook his head and replied modestly.
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"
As he finished speaking, several transparent white sword Qis flew in from all directions with the two of them at the center. Judging from the power emitted from them, they should have been unleashed by a martial artist at the eighth or ninth level of the Martial God Realm at the same time. This was because one could tell from the faint aura that each sword Qis was definitely not from the same person.
"Danger!"
Sensing the incoming sword Qis, Lingyun reacted immediately. He entered the first stage of Hell Fierce Battle State and raised his combat power to five times that of normal. He then held the stunned Qiu Yimin tightly in his arms.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Just like that, countless sword Qis ruthlessly slammed into his body. The powerful impact caused the dust on the ground to fly up into the air. When all the sword Qis fell down, the two men and women that were hugging were buried alive.
In fact, although these sword Qis were very strong, he could still forcefully avoid a portion of them with the help of his enhanced strength in the hellish battle. However, if that happened, Qiu Yi Min would die here, and if there was someone else, her speed would definitely decrease by quite a bit, which would be even more troublesome. For this reason, he could only choose to carry all the sword Qis in his arms and carry them all over his body.
Da Da Da …" "Da Da Da …
In less than half a minute, several warriors of the Gu family who were at the eighth or ninth level of the War God descended and surrounded the two buried alive.
Among them, there were twelve martial gods at the ninth level, thirteen at the eighth level, and the last one, even though he had the aura of a martial god at the ninth level, he still possessed a formidable strength that was close to the first level of the mortal realm. He was also a half-step beyond the mortal realm, and judging from their clothing, they should be assassins specially trained by the Gu family.
"Pfft!"
Following their appearance, the ball of dust that had yet to dissipate was completely scattered by the internal energy. At the same time, Ling Yunfan, who was maintaining his hellish state while holding onto Qiu Yimin, appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Because he had been struck by the sword Qis earlier, there had been several cracks appearing on his clothes. Through the cracks, one could see that even though his battle prowess had increased by five times, he had still suffered some superficial wounds from the counterattack earlier. Fortunately, he had not been in the way.
"Sorry for dragging you down." Although Qiu Min knew that these superficial wounds were nothing, she also knew that he was doing it to protect her, so she looked at him apologetically.
"I'm fine." Towards her apology, Lingyun smiled and shook his head to show that he did not mind. Then, he used the Voice Transmission Technique to say: "These guys are all powerful. When the time comes, I might not be able to take care of you, so you have to protect yourself."
"Yes, I will." Hearing his words, Qiu Yimin also nodded with a serious expression.
With that, she started to channel her spiritual energy, as if she was about to fight someone.
"If you want to come, then come. I've been chased by you for so many days, and I can end it today." Facing the oppression that so many experts gave him, Ling Yunfan fearlessly shouted at Yun Xing, who had the highest cultivation.
As his words fell, the crimson-red aura surrounding him turned into a dazzling golden color. His originally golden pupils also turned into a faint ocean blue, and his fiery red hair turned into a light blue that seemed to come from the ocean, at the same time calm and surging with power.2
After this transformation, although his cultivation was still at the seventh level of the Martial God Stage, his battle prowess had already surpassed the ninth level of the Martial God Stage. The only person who could suppress him was the half-step beyond the mortal realm, Yun Xing.
"What is this?" Seeing Ling Yun Fan's change, Yun Xing, who was standing closest to him, was extremely shocked. Just what kind of cultivation technique was able to sustain such a miraculous transformation?
"Attack!"
However, he didn't think too much about it. After all, the person in front of him was someone his master had ordered him to kill. He didn't care about what he had on him. With a loud shout, he led everyone to charge at him.
Facing so many people rushing towards him, Lingyun knew he had no way to greet them, so he immediately took Qiu Yimin and flew into the air, hoping to avoid the fate of being ganged up on.
"Swish, swish, swish …"
However, upon seeing him like this, the big boss of the Gu family, Yun Xing, revealed a sinister smile. He then led everyone to use the wind that blew past to condense a blade and directly attacked Ling Yun who was in the sky.
"Damn it!" Seeing this scene, how could he not know that his actions had already been predicted by them? With a dark expression, he quickly pushed Qiu Yi Min aside, and then once again condensed a large amount of spiritual energy in his feet to strengthen it, before falling towards the incoming Wind Blade.
