The Battle Through Heaven
Surrounded and Attacked in the Magical Beast Mountain Range
Within the vast dense forest, bright green trees covered almost half of the sky. However, occasionally, one could see Magical Beasts flying repeatedly darting through the sky with terrifying killing intent through the gaps of the tree leaves.
In the sky above the enormous sea of trees, dozens of flying Magical Beasts were scattered in a circular formation, surrounding the huge forest. At this moment, these flying Magical Beasts moved closer from afar as they slowly searched towards the middle of the forest.
In a certain dense undergrowth, a pair of eyes silently looked through the gaps between the leaves, observing the many large bodies in the sky. Each of them carried a dark shadow as they flew past. He could not help but knit his brows tightly. Although he had released the unit that had chased him before, his legs could not outrun a pair of wings. Therefore, flying units coming from all directions caught up with him after an hour. However, it was fortunate that the other party did not know the exact location and was unable to find it in such a short period of time.
"It seemed like the three old men who were not going to die were furious. They actually started tracing inch by inch without considering the labor required. " Xiao Yan shrank in a dark shadow as he softly muttered.
"The strength of the three Misty Cloud Sect Elders was not bad. Therefore, they can sense the slight movement emitted from the energy traces within your body more clearly than an ordinary person. Although they still cannot accurately tell your exact location, they can sense your approximate location. " Yao Lao said in a deep voice, "Now they are starting to form a circular formation and surround the approximate location. After that, they would search inch by inch from far to near. This method may sound stupid but it must be said that this is the only way they can find you quickly. Moreover, this region did not possess Magical Beasts of extremely high rank. Therefore, with the suppression of the three Misty Cloud Sect elders imposing a presence, the other Magical Beasts would not dare to come out and pose a threat to them. "
"What do we do next? The area surrounded becomes smaller. If we let them continue searching this way, we will most likely become caged birds sooner or later. " Xiao Yan frowned slightly and asked in his heart.
"We will shift our position in this small area. The territory they needed to trace was too large. Moreover, they only had around fifty Magical Beasts flying. The distance between them is quite far. As long as you can avoid the position where the three old men are located and borrow the dense forest cover, it will be difficult for the other Misty Cloud Sect disciples to find you. " Yao Lao pondered loudly, "However, that trace of energy within your body will eventually act as a marker for them. As long as we haven't removed it, they will be able to find your position. "
"Can we not remove it completely?" Xiao Yan asked softly.
"Yes it is possible, but I also said that when removing this trace of energy, a powerful ripple would instantly explode. Moreover, those ripples would continue for quite some time. When the time comes, you will be fully revealed. Therefore, if you want to eliminate any traces of your energy you should at least shake those who are chasing you. Otherwise, if you are not careful, unfortunately you will be completely surrounded like wrapped dumplings. " Yao Lao spoke with helplessness in his voice.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly. He raised his head and his gaze passed through the gap of the leaves to see the flying Magical Beast that was closest to him. He softly said, "Since this is the case, we will spend it first. Once night fell, their search difficulty would increase greatly due to their limited range of vision. When the time comes, I will take the opportunity to break through the limits of their quest. I also need the teacher to take action to completely remove the traces of energy that Yun Shan had placed within my body. Otherwise, this pursuit would never end. "
"Yes, that too."
"Hey, now, let's go and play a game with this group of people." Xiao Yan laughed coldly. He hugged the tree trunk with his hands and nimbly descended from the large tree. After which, he quickly ran towards a certain position.
When Xiao Yan had left this place, the Misty Cloud Elder in the sky suddenly frowned. He exchanged glances with the two people beside him and said in a deep voice, "The energy trail of the old Sect Leader is becoming increasingly distant. It seems that Xiao Yan has learned of our plan and started to flee. "
"Huh. It wouldn't be easy if he wanted to leave! " The oldest elder laughed coldly. He closed his eyes slightly before suddenly opening them a moment later. His gaze was pointing directly towards the south of the forest. He could sense that the fluctuations emitted by the energy trail were coming roughly from that direction.
The old man waved his hand and suddenly pointed towards Xiao Yan fleeing before crying coldly. "’Eagle Unit’, listen. Maintain formation. Change position and head south to search. Notice the thing that was running at high speed in the forest. "
"Yes!" Regular responses echoed in the sky. Immediately, a wave of eagle cries sounded. Tens of huge flying Magical Beasts suddenly turned their bodies and quickly flew through the sea of trees.
Within the forest, Xiao Yan, who was moving swiftly also seemed to sense the change in the other party. He laughed coldly as his footsteps quickly stopped. He twisted his body forcefully and completely changed his position before running again.
"Damn. That cunning fellow has changed his direction! " Not long after Xiao Yan changed his position, the three Elders of the Misty Cloud Sect were able to sense him earlier than everyone else. Their faces immediately turned green as they cursed furiously.
The old man with his head full of white hair and the age that was clearly the greatest among the three coldly glanced towards the northern region. The corner of his mouth moved slightly as he inhaled a deep breath of air before saying in a thick voice, "Follow him closely. I can't believe that his wounded body can last long! If he wants to run, we'll make him tired to death! "
The moment his voice fell, those distant flying units immediately changed their positions in good coordination before once again flying in the direction that Xiao Yan was now heading towards.
However, the pursuit this time also did not last long before Xiao Yan once again quickly changed his position.
"follow!" The white-haired old man in the sky had a green face as he said in a cold thick voice.
It was as if a flying unit show had begun above a vast sea of trees. One could see dozens of Magical Beasts flying repeatedly changing their flying direction. If one were to observe closely, however, one would be able to find that the direction they were flying in eventually revolved around the circle in this region.
This playful joke continued from afternoon until sunset. It was only then that both sides started to slow down due to exhaustion. The two groups remained silent as if they had agreed beforehand.
Xiao Yan's back was pressed onto the tree trunk at a certain spot within the dense forest. He was panting and sweat ran down his face as it flowed. His chest rose and fell rapidly. Running constantly at high speed during a full afternoon was something that even he, as a Da Dou Shi, would have difficulty maintaining if he were not supported by medicinal pills. Luckily, however, that Magical Beast flying from the Misty Cloud Sect had also been exhausted after he had led them in a wild goose chase all afternoon.
The sky finally became dark. Xiao Yan sighed in relief as he raised his head and looked at the sun that was descending in the middle of the horizon. He carefully turned his gaze to the flying unit in the distant sky and frowned slightly. Even if they were exhausted, it seemed like they couldn't possibly do something like this? Have they given up?
"Forget it, who cares exactly what they plan to do. After all, after the sky is completely dark, I want to see how they will continue to chase after me. " Xiao Yan laughed coldly. He took out ‘Energy Recovery Pill’ from inside his storage ring and put it in his mouth. After which, he closed his eyes and felt a warm medicinal strength gradually rolling within his body. His originally somewhat numb muscles seemed to become much more comfortable.
The sun in the distant sky slowly descended. Finally, it was completely sunk just as Xiao Yan had been waiting for.
When the sun completely fell behind the mountain, this part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range immediately fell into complete darkness.
As darkness enveloped the ground, Xiao Yan also slowly opened his eyes. He stood up, raised his head, and looked at the flying unit that had completely stopped in midair without any movement. His eyebrows could not help but frown a little. He immediately laughed coldly, jumped down from the tall tree, and rushed towards the place in the siege that seemed to be the weakest.
There was a commotion within the flying unit in the sky when Xiao Yan started moving. Clearly, they sensed that the fluctuations emitted by the energy trail were getting farther away.
"Over old?" One of the people in the flying Magical Beast who was closest to the three elders hurriedly said.
"Defend siege formations. Everyone, don't move. " The white-haired elder waved his hand and coldly said, "This time, I want to see how he will escape."
"Yes." Yeah."
As Xiao Yan flashed forwards, a moment later, he could not help but turn his head and look at the sky. In that place, a large group of dark black shadows were still restrained and were actually not moving in the slightest.
"What are these people going to do?" Xiao Yan frowned intently and gently sighed. He had just thought of ignoring them when his expression suddenly changed. His footsteps stopped abruptly as his gaze stared intently at the pitch-black night sky where a rapidly flowing light flashed like a shooting star.
"This Qi belongs to a Dou Huang. Damnit. These people are actually waiting for reinforcements. " Xiao Yan seemed to have understood something back then as well. He immediately cursed furiously as his body flickered before entering the dark shadows. The presence all over his body was pulled in an extreme manner. His gaze also stared intently at the rapidly flowing light.
The flowing light instantly cut past the horizon and finally suddenly stopped in front of the three Elders of the Misty Cloud Sect. The bright light slowly faded, revealing the graceful and noble figure of a beautiful woman.
"Csect Leader!"
When he appeared, everyone around the Magical Beast flew up, including the three Elders all hurriedly bowed.
Sect Leader. When one heard this form of address, it was natural for one to understand that the person who had just arrived was the current Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun!
"Yes." Yeah."
Yun Yun replied weakly. Her beautiful eyes swept through the dense forest in the darkness below. A complicated expression appeared on her beautiful face. The cold, gentle, and handsome face of the young man once again appeared in his mind.
Actually she. Xiao Yan gently clenched his fists within the darkness and said gently with a cold smile.
"Csect Leader, Xiao Yan has killed our Misty Cloud Sect disciple. This violation is unforgivable. No matter how much he suppressed the energy trans in his body, he will have trouble escaping from you because you have the same elemental affinity that belongs in the same line of succession as the old Sect Leader. Sect Leader, please take action and trace the traces of energy emanating from his body! " The snow-white-haired Misty Cloud elder took one step forward and spoke in a deep voice.
Yun Yun Yuns beautiful body trembled slightly. She was silent for a moment before she immediately closed her pretty eyes.
While Yun Yun was speechless, the entire area became silent like death. All the gazes were focused on him. This time, whether Xiao Yan would be exposed was entirely determined by this one woman's thought!
