The Battle Through Heaven
The Beginning of the Great Escape
Looking into the vast dense forest, one could only see a never-ending greenish-green color. The occasional breeze would blow. Soon after, many large green ripples would begin to spread through the sea of green trees from near and far, eventually disappearing at one's end of sight. It gave a very spectacular performance.
Above the sea of trees was a blue sky. Several human figures occasionally flew in the sky above. Their eagle-like sharp gazes would scan the forest below with detail. However, the size of this forest was too big and the green waves that rolled one after another also covered most of the objects under the dense forest. Therefore, no matter how they searched inch by inch, they still could not find their target.
Several human figures swept through this stretch of dense forest. Upon realizing it was futile, their helpless gazes interacted with each other in midair before they shook their heads. They then showed hand signals to each other and parted ways, heading in different directions.
Under the dense and lush forest, towering trees pierced through the sky. In the surroundings, however, there were trees of unknown numbers that were even larger and taller. Therefore, it did not seem conspicuous.
At the top of this tree, there were branches sticking out. The branch was surrounded by lush green foliage. Therefore, if one were to catch a glimpse of it, he would really have trouble finding the things hidden within.
“Hu.” The sound of someone breathing as they suppressed the pain could be heard from under the dense foliage. Immediately, a subtle sound from the clenching teeth appeared. A moment later, the leaves of the trees trembled slightly and a face with a tight frown was visible. The head carefully turned his head as he scanned the empty sky. His gaze then swept towards where some human figures had spread out before sighing softly and sitting on a thick and rough branch. His back was leaning against the tree trunk and cold sweat repeatedly flowed from his forehead.
"Teacher? Are you still here?" Xiao Yan let out a long sigh before hurriedly crying softly in his heart.
"Ah." A while later, a somewhat tired old voice replied from within Xiao Yan's heart, Little “Mean. This time, things didn't look too good. It was a huge burden and caused tremendous fatigue while using the ‘Angry Buddha Lotus Flame’ twice in a row. If you don't allow me to consume ‘Seven Water Purified Spirit Green Magic’, I will probably fall asleep once again. "
Xiao Yan bitterly laughed and said, “I was too impulsive this time. However, my father is missing. ”
“Ah, I know. You, son, care deeply about your father-daughter relationship. Otherwise, given your character, it is unlikely that you would be so reckless as to attack the Misty Cloud Sect and even kill Yun Leng in public. " Yao Lao smiled before continuing, “However, you also do not need to blame yourself. There is always something to protect in life. Otherwise, would someone be considered human if they had no desire? Even if you become a strong person, such loneliness and solitude will cause someone to go crazy. " "Thank you Master." Xiao Yan sighed in relief and said in a soft and grateful voice.
"Ke Ke, what should we be grateful for between the two of us?" Yao Lao laughed. Soon, his voice became a little more serious, “Little Friend, we are still within the limits of the influence of the Misty Cloud Sect. Therefore, we need to get out of here as soon as possible. Although Yun Shan might be severely injured after eating two ‘Angry Buddha Lotus Flame’ continuously, those Elders and Deacons from the Misty Cloud Sect were not useless people. Moreover, there was another Dou Huang, Yun Yun. Right now I have spent too much Spiritual Strength due to two ‘Angry Buddha Lotus Flames’. At the very least, I can't give you the energy that you can waste randomly like before. Moreover, the previous Yun Shan punch had left a trace of energy within your body. I can currently only try my best to suppress the oscillations emitted by the energy trail. If I destroy it forcefully, Yun Shan will immediately feel it. "
Xiao Yan nodded slowly. His fist slowly stiffened as he raised his head. His gaze passed through the small gap between the leaves and looked at the blue sky. His heart clearly knew the killing intent that Yun Shan had towards him. At this moment, the Misty Cloud Sect might have already poured all of the sect's strength into capturing him. In his current state, he could at most deal with a few Misty Cloud Sect disciples. If the deacon or even the Elders found it, it would not be difficult for the other party to delay it, if he could even go against them. When that time came, if the Misty Cloud Sect troops heard that voice and arrived, Xiao Yan might really die in this endless forest.
“First, let's go deep into the mountains to avoid the search squads of the Misty Cloud Sect. I am currently in an unsightly state. If I don't let this wound heal properly, the possibility of escaping will also be a problem. " Xiao Yan wiped the remaining bloodstains from the corner of his mouth and said softly.
“Ah, that's good. An alchemist need not worry about injuries. Although your injuries this time are quite severe, to Ke, with the teacher currently awake, I will naturally let you recover as soon as possible. ” Yao Lao said with a smile.
Xiao Yan nodded. He had absolute confidence in Yao Lao's refining skills. He grabbed the tree trunk with his hand and slowly got up.
“At this time, there is a search group consisting of Misty Cloud Sect disciples in the east, south, and north of our current position. Therefore, we could only escape towards the west side of the forest. " Yao Lao kept saying, “More, watch the figure in the sky. Most of those people were Elders of the Misty Cloud Sect and their strength was at least of the Dou Wang class. If you unluckyly bump into one of them under such conditions, it would be troublesome. "
When he was several meters away from the ground, Xiao Yan loosened his grip. His feet gently kicked the tree trunk and his body curled up in the air before turning over and letting him land on one knee with his hands on the ground, supporting himself. The sound that was issued as he landed was barely audible.
Xiao Yan's sharp gaze quickly scanned his surroundings. He then stood up and charged into a group of dense forests. Just as he entered the dense sea of plants, a seven-colored light instantly lit up. Immediately, Xiao Yan halted his steps as his entire body let out a cold sweat. His gaze hurriedly swept in front of him. Immediately, he could not contain the excitement. The seven colored light came from the Heaven Swallowing Python that had turned into its snake form. For others, it was extremely difficult trying to find Xiao Yan but for the Heaven Swallowing Python that had been living together with Xiao Yan since his birth, even the slightest smell in the air was like a huge road map.
“Hey, little boy, is it now your turn to control the body?” Xiao Yan extended his hand. ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ obediently swayed, stuck out his tongue and let out a hissing sound towards Xiao Yan.
“Hee hee, that's good. That's good." The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth opened when he saw the action of ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’. The joy on his face was hard to hide. Although the power of ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ is not as great as Queen Medusa, this little boy was not like His Majesty in that it would actually come out on Xiao Yan's orders as long as he gave him enough food to eat. On the other hand, Xiao Yan was so angry that his teeth itched when he recalled how Queen Medusa, that bastard woman, was actually standing still at the side during her great fight with Yun Shan earlier.
Xiao Yan quickly took out a bottle of ‘Amethyst Lion Birth Essence’ from his storage ring and used a small jade stick to dip a few drops of it and toss it into the mouth of ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’s’. Soon, the little boy jumped up and down, very agile. It revolved around Xiao Yan's body several times before it let out a ‘suo’ sound and entered Xiao Yan's arm.
“Hu, lucky. There is at least a talisman that can protect me. " Xiao Yan gently patted her sleeve and let out a long sigh. With ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ around, he was at least not afraid of being held back if he was discovered by one of the Misty Cloud Sect Elders.
"Let's go. Looks like there are some people heading here. It is not recommended for you at this time to quarrel with others. I see that your Qi is currently uneven, drifting up and down. This really seems like a state where your strength will immediately increase. It seems like this big fight that you just experienced is very beneficial to you. Immediately find a quiet place to recuperate and rest. Otherwise, the chance to increase your strength would be wasted. " The voice within Yao Lao suddenly sounded from Xiao Yan's heart.
Xiao Yan was shocked when he heard this. Immediately, he nodded his head in surprise. This seems like one of the few pieces of good news in a bad situation like this. In a situation like this where he faced annihilation on all sides, increasing his strength slightly would naturally mean that his chances of survival would increase slightly.
Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at the dense forest behind him. A cold smile shot out from the corner of his mouth as he softly said, "Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Shan, it seems like the grudge between the two of us has formed completely. I hope you won't regret this in the future! If you think that I, Xiao Yan, am one of those boneless people who will come begging with a tail hanging between his legs after suffering a loss, I'm afraid you're completely wrong. "
Back then, just because of the ‘Three Years’ Agreement, Xiao Yan could bite a bullet and train for three years, causing him to be like a lone wolf in the prairie. When he gets hurt, he'll temporarily back off. Quickly following this, he would become like a ghost and maggots in one's tarsal bones, wandering around and waiting to take revenge with a deadly blow.
As the voice that contained a dark and thick chill fell, Xiao Yan's feet stepped on the ground. His body turned into a black shadow which quickly fled into that dark black forest.
After Xiao Yan's disappearance, the place slowly became quiet. About ten minutes later, ten figures suddenly came out from the dense forest. They held long swords in their hands while they scanned the surroundings with serious expressions. When they saw that there was no movement, they heaved a sigh of relief. They exchanged glances and they all smiled bitterly and shook their heads. The signal beacon held tightly in their right hand, ready to be released at any time, was also put back into their chest pocket. When faced with a terrifying figure that could even force their old Sect Leader back, it was only natural that these people would give their full attention.
A Misty Cloud Sect disciple who was the leader of the group slowly stepped forward. He swung the long sword and the sword light lit up, leaving an obscure symbol on a nearby tree. As soon as he did this, he turned his head and softly said, “We are done looking for this place. If we continue to advance, we will enter the northwest of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. The rank of a Magical Beast was not low. It would be very difficult if we looked there. Looks like we have to tell the Elders to use the flying unit. "
While speaking, he quickly took out a bamboo whistle from his chest pocket and placed it on his lips. He blew it gently and a slightly sharp sound was emitted slowly from the bamboo. It finally formed a wave-like shape that quickly spread throughout the large forest…
