Chapter 158 - Escape into the Silvermoon ForestXiang Yun"s heart suddenly sank as he looked at Zheng Heishan, who was silently standing at the entrance to the canyon!
Sure enough, Mystic Cloud realm experts and Yellow Cloud realm martial artists were two completely different concepts.
Just the aftermath of Zheng Heshan"s earlier palm attack had already caused Xiang Yun to suffer a considerable amount of injuries. If he were to face it head on, there definitely would not have been any suspense as he would have been crushed into a b.l.o.o.d.y pulp.
In terms of speed, even though Xiang Yun was exceptionally fast, to the point where even Elder Yu, who was at the peak of the Huang Yun Realm, could not catch up to him, this Zheng Heshan was able to completely crush Xiang Yun like a cat playing with a mouse."Your Highness, since you"ve already pa.s.sed through my Snow Dragon"s Gate, why don"t you go up and be a guest? Why don"t you leave later?"
Xiang Yun"s expression was dark and cold as he said, "I don"t think there"s a need for that. The welcome ceremony for your sect is rather grand, I"m afraid this prince can"t afford it."
"Prince Haha, you sure know how to joke around. Your life is precious, how could you not be able to bear it?"
Xiang Yun neither agreed nor disagreed. Instead, he sneered, "Zheng Heshan, is there something I"m very curious about?""Oh, what are you curious about?" Zheng Heshan was obviously confident and was in no hurry to make a move.
"You, Zheng He Shan, are one of the overlords of the Silvermoon Mountain Range. Although your cultivation can"t be said to be steadfast, but I believe that the life of the master of this sect must be pretty good."
"Why do you have such a hard time thinking about it? You actually tried to kill me, a heir of the Windy Nation. I"m afraid a smart person wouldn"t take such a huge risk."
Xiang Yun continued, "Moreover, Sect Master Zheng, you don"t seem to be the kind of person who would risk his life just because a useless son"s dantian was crippled and want revenge. Therefore, I"m very curious as to who made you kill me, what benefits did he give you, or did he threaten you?"
"I"ll give you a chance, Sect Master Zheng. If you tell me who he is now, I"ll give you three times the benefits he offers you. If he threatens you, I"ll be able to help you solve all your problems, and at the same time let bygones be bygones!"
"This …"Zheng Heshan had clearly not expected that Xiang Yun would actually be able to remain so calm and talk to him in such a perilous situation. More importantly, the latter"s condition had truly moved his heart!
As one of the four great sect masters of the Silvermoon Mountain Range, he was well aware of the situation in the entire State of Feng Yun. The Xiang Yun before him, whether it was in terms of wealth or power, far surpa.s.sed the person behind him.However, when Zheng Heshan thought of the pill he had been forced to consume, the kind of pain that struck the heart every night, he immediately gave up on this idea.
"Xiang Yun, you must die today!"
Zheng Heshan"s voice grew cold and stern. At the same time, his body rippled with a cloud of energy as deep as the abyss, causing Xiang Yun to feel a stifling pressure!
Xiang Yun had already expected this. Right now, it was already impossible for him to return to Qin Feng City. Xiang Yun turned to look at the back of the canyon, where the vast, white, dense forest was located.
Silvermoon Forest. The forbidden zone for humans!
Xiang Yun"s gaze trembled violently, but in the end, it was filled with determination.
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Yun turned to look at Zheng Heshan. Seeing that the latter was about to raise his hands, Xiang Yun"s gaze suddenly swept behind Zheng Heshan as he yelled with a face full of shock.
"Father, why are you here?"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Upon hearing Xiang Yun call him "father", his originally cold expression turned grim. He had already channeled his cloud energy into his palms, intending to kill Xiang Yun with a single blow. Snow Dragon Sect"s Sect Master, Zheng Heshan!
It was as if a thunderbolt had struck the sky, causing his entire body to tremble in fear. The cloud energy around his palms dissipated in an instant.
The latter stiffly turned her head to look. Outside the canyon was an empty forest. There was not a single person, so where was Xiang Tian?
Zheng Heshan was stunned at first, then his expression suddenly changed!
"Not good, this kid is scheming against me!"
Zheng Heshan suddenly turned his head, looking towards the other end of the canyon. He saw a figure rushing towards the other end of the canyon, towards the Silvermoon Forest.
"Hmph, brat, you still want to escape into the Silvermoon Forest?"A look of disdain appeared on Zheng Heshan"s face as his body suddenly rushed out like a phantom that was constantly flashing!
Xiang Yun was only a hundred meters away from the Silvermoon Forest when he suddenly felt a powerful energy fluctuation behind him. In the blink of an eye, Xiang Yun knew without even thinking that Zheng Heshan had arrived.
The latter stepped on the ground and twisted his body, dodging to the side in a flash.Immediately after, a huge crater of several feet in radius was blasted open on the ground. Although the latter managed to dodge in time, the violent wind was still blown away by Xiang Yun, causing him to tumble to the ground.
Xiang Yun did not dare to stop at all. Instantly, he used his hands to push himself up, using this momentum to turn around and fly towards the Silvermoon Forest. He continued to fly forwards!
However, just as he took a step forward, a cold laugh rang out from behind him. Xiang Yun was startled, and in the next instant, a gust of wind a.s.saulted the back of his head.This gale was so fierce and swift that Xiang Yun had no thoughts of dodging it at all.
In a moment of desperation, Xiang Yun suddenly thought of the Wandering Dragon Sword in his backpack. With a violent jerk of his body, his backpack instantly moved up, the Wandering Dragon Sword in it blocking the back of his head!"Bam!"
Abruptly, Xiang Yun felt the Wandering Dragon Sword behind his back tremble as a powerful force instantly poured into his body.
It was like being pressed down by a mountain. It shook his internal organs, causing his soul to tremble, and blood to spurt out of his mouth like money!
At the same time, Xiang Yun"s body flew forward once more, looking as if he were about to fly into the Silvermoon Forest.However, just as Xiang Yun was about to fly into the Silvermoon Forest, Zheng Heshan took a step forward and appeared behind him.
The latter"s large hand formed a claw, grabbing at Xiang Yun"s shoulder, wanting to grab him back!However, at this moment, Zheng Heshan suddenly heard a dragon"s roar and tiger"s roar. He saw that Xiang Yun, who had originally been flying in the air, had unexpectedly exploded forth with a sharp force without warning, grabbing towards the center of his legs!
The power of this claw strike was extraordinary, and most importantly, it came without warning!
Even though Zheng Heshan was a Mystical Cloud Expert, he was still able to protect his crotch when it came to matters of the man"s life. Zheng Heishan"s body involuntarily tensed up. He then used both of his hands to protect his crotch.
However, in the next second, Xiang Yun"s originally swung claw suddenly clenched into a fist, and a heavy punch landed on Zheng Heshan"s arm!
Xiang Yun"s punch was simply unable to shake Zheng Heshan at all. Even if the protective cloud energy on his arm were to break apart, it would be impossible to do so.
However, Xiang Yun borrowed the recoil of this fist to retreat once more. He had actually entered the range of the Silvermoon Forest!Seeing Xiang Yun fly through the air like a silver moon in the forest, Zheng Heshan was filled with extreme hatred. He wanted to step inside and capture him!
However, just as Zheng Heshan was about to rush into the forest, an earth-shattering roar came from within the forest. The sound waves rumbled and the imposing manner it gave off was astonishing!"A commander level cloud beast!"
This majestic aura was the aura of a general level Cloud Beast.
Although the latter"s cultivation was equivalent to a Mystic Cloud martial artist, Cloud Beasts were generally stronger than humans of the same cultivation level. Zheng Heishan was extremely afraid of encountering a peak commander level Cloud Beast, and the latter could even kill him!
Helpless, Zheng Heshan could only stop at the borders of the Silvermoon Forest. Seeing the staggering figure that was fleeing towards the depths of the Silvermoon Forest, the latter"s face revealed a sinister expression as he suddenly channeled his cloud energy into the palm of his hand!
"Blood Cloud Palm!"
All of a sudden, a b.l.o.o.d.y palm appeared out of nowhere in the center of Zheng Heshan"s palm. All of the cloud energy around him was instantly drained!
"Go!"
Zheng Heshan roared and blasted his palm outwards. The b.l.o.o.d.y palm instantly entered the dense forest like lightning, piercing through the branches of countless thick trees. In the end, the illusory palm struck Xiang Yun, who was staggering forward, on his back!
Xiang Yun"s figure immediately flew out and landed within the forest. He landed atop a gigantic mountain cliff, sinking deep into the snow!
Outside the forest, Zheng Heshan, who had focused his gaze on Xiang Yun, immediately revealed a dark, cold smile.A moment later, Elder Yu had already caught up. Seeing that there was no longer any trace of Xiang Yun left or right, the latter couldn"t help but exclaim in surprise.
"Sovereign, where is that brat?"
"They"ve fled into Silvermoon Forest."
"He escaped?" Elder Yu was extremely shocked. If it was said that Xiang Yun had escaped from his hands, then it would be possible. However, the sect master was a Mystic Cloud peak expert. How could he allow Xiang Yun to escape?
"Hehe, he was. .h.i.t by my Blood Cloud Palm. Even if he doesn"t die now, he will turn into a pool of blood within three days." Zheng Heshan proudly said."So that"s how it is!" It was only then that Elder Yu let out a sigh of relief. The matter of killing Xiang Yun was extremely important. If the latter were to go to Qin Feng and send another letter back to Silver City, the Snow Dragon Sect would most likely suffer a calamity!
"Elder Yu." Zheng Heshan suddenly said.
"Sovereign, what orders do you have?""Today"s matter cannot be mentioned to anyone else."
"Yes sir!"
"That"s right. The other inner disciples who know about this should not leak any information. It would be best to let them …"
Zheng Heshan stopped talking as he spoke, but the murderous light in his eyes had already told Elder Yu what to do."School Head, I"m afraid this isn"t appropriate. They are disciples with decent apt.i.tudes. If they are removed together, wouldn"t that be a huge loss to the school?"
Zheng Heshan waved his hand and sneered: "No worries, after today, our Snow Dragon Sect will have another mountain"s territory, and we will also have an endless supply of Cloud Crystals. In the future, we can also help you break through the Mystical Cloud Realm, when that time comes, our sect"s strength will greatly increase, and we will have to worry about not recruiting good disciples!"
"Ah!" When Elder Yu heard this, he was both surprised and happy. Although he didn"t know that the Sect Leader had obtained the benefits from this, he was very smart. He didn"t ask any questions and only cupped his hands in thanks."Thank you Sovereign for your kindness. I will definitely serve you well. After I die, I will go and take care of those little fellows."
At that moment, the two of them went up to the Green h.e.l.lish Mountain. Zheng Heishan brought the half-dead Zheng Yufeng back to the sect for treatment.
Elder Yu, on the other hand, had sent out a few inner disciples to stop them. He said that he would give them rewards for their services.Those young disciples didn"t doubt his presence at all. Each of them obediently stayed behind and gathered together, waiting for Elder Yu to give them a reward.
With a flash of blood-red light, seven more corpses appeared on top of the mountain, which were then tossed down from the mountain peak.
At the same time, Xiang Yun was buried deep in a snowdrift within Silvermoon Forest.
He was unconscious for a while before finally waking up. Just as he woke up, he felt bone-piercing pain all over his body, as if all the blood in his body had frozen. Xiang Yun"s consciousness was also somewhat blurry!At this moment, he had no choice but to forcefully raise a bit of his spirit to inspect his body. Once he did, he realized that his injuries this time were far more serious than he had imagined.
The internal organs in his body were severely injured and bleeding profusely. The muscles of his body were torn at many places, his spine was broken, and his spine was broken. If not for the Heaven Dragon"s zhenqi flowing through his body, he would have been a dead man by now.And now, the Heavenly Dragon zhen qi was also illusory and abnormal. Its aura was very weak, as if it could disappear at any time!
Xiang Yun needed to immediately find a place where he could heal his injuries. He immediately wanted to push the pile of snow away and stand up.
However, before he could even get up, a low roar suddenly rang out from below him. The roar was as loud as thunder, and it was accompanied by a thunderous rumble that rumbled like that of 10,000 thunderclaps, shaking the earth and causing the snow on the trees to rustle and fall.
In the next moment, Xiang Yun suddenly felt the huge rock beneath him tremble, and then his entire body was pushed up.
Immediately after, Xiang Yun was shocked to discover that he was slowly moving along with the huge rock beneath him!
