Chapter 131 - Timely arrivalXiang Yun"s movement technique had suddenly advanced as he entered the realm of the "Gecko Travelling Wall". His speed soared as his agility had increased by a great deal.
As for the Profound Fire Double Head Python, having lost one was already a serious injury. Xiang Yun had actually been able to dodge it with ease. The Profound Fire Double Head Python was simply unable to do anything to him.
Xiang Yun"s body flickered as he quickly descended from the Double-Headed Python"s body. He grabbed Fatty Ox who had collapsed on the ground, then scolded Xiang Changan who was staring at him in a daze.
"Are you stupid? What are you guys blanking out for, hurry up and run! "Xiang Changan was startled, and he sprinted forward together with Xiang Yun!
"Hiss!"
Behind him, the two-headed python, which only had a head left, continued to spew blood wildly from its severed head. The latter"s body swayed crazily, hitting the ground and causing the ground to tremble and crack as countless rocks and mountains flew around!
Seeing that Xiang Yun and the rest were about to run away, the Twin-Headed Python"s blood-red eyes suddenly shone with a vicious light. It suddenly shrunk its body and actually erupted once more, shooting high into the air and pouncing towards Xiang Yun and the rest!Xiang Yun raised his head to look and was shocked. Just as he was about to change directions and flee, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky and a deep shout exploded like thunder!
"Evil creature, don"t try to hurt me!"
Just as the thunderous voice was heard, a white robed figure had already soared into the sky like a bolt of lightning, instantly appearing in front of the Black Fire Python!
He did not make any unnecessary movements. He simply struck out with his palm, and his palm landed on the head of the Black Fire Python!
"Boom!"
Thunder rumbled loudly in the clear sky. The body of the Black Fire Double Headed Python seemed to have been struck by lightning. The blood-red scales all over its body suddenly stood erect, and it even exploded and flew into the air, spraying out a b.l.o.o.d.y mist!
In the next moment, the giant python was sent flying. It heavily crashed into a hill, causing it to collapse into pieces and be razed to the ground.
The giant python whimpered, its body trembling uncontrollably. In the end, it began to squirm, fleeing in the direction of the Silvermoon Forest.
The person did not pursue but descended from the sky!
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
This person had a simple and honest face with a pair of wind ears, a bad nose, and small eyes. His appearance was ordinary, but his cultivation base was deep, and he had actually severely injured a Black Fire Double Headed Python with a single palm strike.
At this moment, Lu Yongchang looked extremely anxious. He was a master at the late stage of the Mystic Cloud Realm, yet his forehead was dripping with cold sweat and his body was trembling uncontrollably. From this, it could be seen how terrified he was!"Whew!" When Xiang Yun saw Lu Yongchang, he instantly felt like a deflated balloon as his tense body relaxed.
He loosened his right hand, allowing Fatty Niu to fall to the ground. Immediately afterwards, he used his other hand to support Xiang"er as he placed her on the ground.
"You … you finally came." Xiang Yun was so tired that he fell to the ground, panting heavily!
In the next moment, several more figures rushed over at lightning speed from afar. Housekeeper Zhang and Mr Liu, with a group of guards from the crown prince"s residence, rushed over with looks of anxiety on their faces.
When the duo saw Xiang Yun sprawled on the ground, her entire body drenched in blood, they were so frightened that their legs gave way and they fell to their knees.
They hurriedly rushed to Xiang Yun"s side. When they saw that Xiang Yun was still panting with his eyes wide open, the two of them let out a sigh of relief!
However, the two did not dare to relax. One of them grabbed Xiang Yun"s hands and the other pressed against his chest. At the same time, they channeled pure cloud energy into Xiang Yun to examine his body and heal his injuries!
Xiang Yun however, rolled over, breaking away from the two. His gaze was icy as he said, "Alright, Housekeeper Zhang, Mr Liu, I"m fine. You two go and capture Yang Guanglin for me right now!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, the two men revealed looks of surprise. However, when they saw Xiang Yun"s ice-cold gaze, the two men who knew Xiang Yun"s temperament did not dare to ask even half a word as they immediately turned to chase after him!
After the two of them left, Lu Yongchang personally came over to channel some Yun Li to Xiang Yun, Xiang Fei and Fatty Niu.
Xiang Chang An hurriedly fed them the healing pills he brought with him, allowing them to stabilize their wounds.
At this moment, Lu Yongchang was holding Xiang Yun"s wrist with one hand and feeling his pulse. He could not help but ask anxiously with a slightly pale face."Your Highness, how did you receive such a serious injury? Just what happened?"
This time around, all three of them were heavily injured, especially Xiang Yun. It seemed as though he was the last one remaining, even having been able to flee with Xiang Fei and Fatty Niu. In truth, his injuries were the most severe.
Xiang Yun had already suffered internal injuries during his battle with the Golden Ape. In the end, because he had advanced to the Five Clouds Realm, his Yun Li had greatly increased, suppressing his injuries.
Afterwards, he had encountered the attacks of the Mystic Fire Python. As he fled, Xiang Yun had already exhausted all of his cloud energy and had sustained injuries. His injuries had undoubtedly worsened by quite a bit.
In the end, Xiang Yun had even been struck by the twin headed serpent"s tail. Under the powerful impact of its energy, he had been saved even though he had the miraculous energy of the Art of Creation.
However, all the organs and acupoints throughout his body had been severely impacted. It could be said that Xiang Yun had not died at that time. This was already a miracle.And even in this situation,
Xiang Yun had used all his remaining energy to save Xiang Fei. It could be said that the ones controlling his movements were his physical body and willpower.At this moment, Lu Yongchang had arrived in time, causing Xiang Yun"s willpower and mental energy to dissipate. He collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud, unable to even move a finger!
In the end, it was Xiang Chang An who told Lu Yongchang everything that had happened. After hearing Xiang Chang An"s story, the beads of sweat on Lu Yongchang"s forehead became even more concentrated.Even a blind man could see the fear in his eyes!
"How is that possible? In the Silvermoon Forest, there are almost no Cloud Beasts above six clouds. How did this Double Headed Black Fire Python come out? And it even hurt you guys!" Lu Yongchang"s voice trembled in disbelief.
What a joke, a prince of a kingdom, the favorite princess of his Majesty, and the most powerful son of the margravine king of the Windcloud Nation.Any one of them could crush the City Lord of Qin Feng City to death more than ten times!
If the three of them were to die together on the python"s abdomen, even if he were to be dismembered and smashed into pieces a hundred times over, death wouldn"t be too much!
"This official truly deserves to die, I was actually late, and almost caused a mishap to befall the three Princes, truly a hundred deaths cannot be redeemed!"
Lu Yongchang fell to his knees and kneeled in front of the three of them, his body trembling uncontrollably!
It was at this moment that Xiang Yun, who had been sitting cross-legged after consuming a pill for a short while, reached out with difficulty. He patted Lu Yongchang on the back, looking up at City Lord Lu as he spoke rather weakly.
City Lord Lu, this has nothing to do with you, it is already not an easy task for you to arrive in time to save us. Now, quickly bring some people to search the canyon to see how many wounded people there are.
"Yes, sir. I will send someone to rescue them immediately!"
Naturally, Lu Yongchang did not dare to neglect his words. Among these hunters, many of them had extraordinary ident.i.ties. If anything went wrong, it would not be a small matter.
Soon after, Lu Yongchang led his men to the canyon to search for help. As for the people guarding the campsite, they were informed of what had happened in the hunting grounds.
Lin Wan"er and the rest had also heard that something had happened to Xiang Yun and the rest. This girl had followed a few guards and numerous soldiers to search for them.
Seeing Xiang Yun covered in blood and his pale face, this girl did not bother with him anymore. She quickly walked over and supported her son, not saying a word as she lowered her head. Tears flowed uncontrollably as she cried sorrowfully.Because today"s incident involved a lot of things, many of the rich and powerful families" children died or were injured. Lu Yongchang almost mobilized the entire city"s army to search and rescue the people. The entire search and rescue operation lasted from noon all the way until the evening.
Just as City Lord Lu was putting in all his effort to arrange for the final rescue, he walked out of the tent.
Suddenly, a clamor arose from within the camp. The direction of the camp square was packed with onlookers. Something big seemed to have happened, and many people were rushing towards that direction.
City Lord Lu quickly pulled a young man to ask, and the latter said to Lu Yongchang with a face full of shock, "City Lord, something big has happened!"
"What happened?" Lu Yongchang thought to himself, could this man be talking about what happened at the hunting grounds?
What the young man said next caused City Lord Lu to be terrified.The young man puffed out his eyes and said, "You don"t know yet, the Crown Prince wants to kill Young Master Yang!"
"Young Master Yang, which one?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it"s the son of the Central State County"s County Governor, Young Master Yang Guang!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Hearing these words, Lu Yongchang was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He did not dare to ask any more questions. He hurriedly pushed his way through the crowd and rushed to the center of the square within the camp.
The crowd opened up a path for City Lord Lu. Only then did the latter manage to clearly see the scene in the square.In the center of the square, on the high platform that was originally used as a sacrificial offering, between Housekeeper Zhang and Mr Liu, a black-faced well-dressed youth was being escorted by them to kneel on the ground. The latter was the terrified Yang Guanglin!
At this moment, Xiang Yun was standing in the middle of the stage, his body slightly bent. His face was still pale, but a layer of frost had covered it, causing fear to well up in the depths of one"s heart!
He looked coldly at Yang Guanglin, who was kneeling on the ground, and spoke with an ice-cold voice."Yang Guanglin, do you know your crime?"
Hearing this, Yang Guanglin"s heart skipped a beat, but he tried his best to remain calm.
"Your Highness, I don"t understand what you mean.""You still want to go back on your word at a time like this?"
"Your Highness, I don"t know what you"re talking about, could it be that I"ve offended Your Highness in some way?"
Yang Guanglin had already made up his mind. Gritting his teeth, he would rather die than admit it. He did not believe that Xiang Yun would actually be able to kill him in public."Heh heh."
Xiang Yun did not feel the slightest bit of anger towards Yang Guanglin"s repudiation. His lips curled up into a cold smile, his sinister laughter causing Yang Guanglin to involuntarily shudder."It seems that you won"t cry even if you don"t see the coffin! It doesn"t matter if you don"t admit it, and I don"t need you to admit it. Since you don"t want to be reasonable, then we won"t talk about it."
As he spoke, Xiang Yun"s hand slashed across his waist, pulling out the Wandering Dragon Sword that had traces of blood on it.
Seeing that Xiang Yun had drawn his sword, Yang Guanglin"s eyes widened!"You … what are you trying to do?" Yang Guanlin shouted in a threatening manner, but was actually afraid of the inside!
He somewhat restlessly wanted to struggle, but with the two Yellow Cloud martial artists beside him, he was completely unable to move!
Xiang Yun"s expression was cold, not saying a word as he raised the bloodstained longsword in his hand, moving closer to Yang Guanglin"s neck!"You!" Yang Guanglin was shocked as he blurted out.
"Xiang Yun!" You really dare to kill me? "
"Why would I not dare?"
"Xiang Yun, my father is a county governor of the Central Region. He is one of the three counties of Dragon City under His Majesty"s rule. My uncle is a great commander of the Dragon City Imperial Guards. You!"
"Don"t think that you can do whatever you want just because you"re the crown prince. If you kill me, His Majesty won"t sit idly by. You"re in big trouble too!" Yang Guanglin crazily roared.
"Please calm your anger, Your Highness!" At this moment, Lu Yongchang had also hurried over to the high platform to persuade Xiang Yun, "Your Highness, if you have something to say, say it well. Please don"t be impulsive!"
Xiang Yun only glanced at Lu Yongchang. That ice-cold gaze immediately caused Lu Yongchang"s body to stiffen, unable to utter a single word. Xiang Yun turned and looked at Yang Guanglin, squinting his eyes.
"Central State County"s County Governor and the Great Commander of the Imperial Guard. Tsk tsk tsk, what great authority. Young Master Yang, are you threatening me?"
Yang Guanglin could feel the killing intent that seemingly came out of Xiang Yun"s body. The latter"s body trembled slightly, not daring to speak under Xiang Yun"s cold gaze!
At this moment, a commotion broke out in the crowd. A group of people were rushing towards the high platform. Yang Guanglin, who heard the commotion and turned around, was pleasantly surprised!The person who had arrived was the eighth prince, Xiang Changan. He had led a group of members of the An Lin Party and had arrived just in time.
There were a lot of members in the Anlin Party. Even though Li Donglai, Zhou Xialong and many others were injured and bedridden, there were still dozens of members in the Anlin Party.
Add to that the dozens of saber-armed guards that had arrived in full force under the lead of the eighth prince, Xiang Changan, a pressuring presence immediately loomed over them!
