Chapter 814: Crisis Resolved

814. Chapter 812: Crisis Resolved

You two don't even think of leaving here!

Blood Flame roared, the flames on his body flaring up again, and the ice blade quickly melted in the scorching heat.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan coordinated seamlessly, their figures flashing nimbly across the battlefield, each strike carrying an overwhelming, unstoppable force.

Their strength and coordination made them an invincible presence.

The battle continued, Blood Flame was driven back again, and he felt a sense of despair.

You two won't die a good death!

He gritted his teeth and roared loudly, his body gradually being consumed by flames.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan showed no fear; they gathered all their strength and launched the final attack.

A bolt of lightning and an ice blade struck Blood Flame simultaneously; his body was completely shattered, the flames extinguished, leaving only a charred corpse.

Lu Yuan sheathed the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, looked at the corpse on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He had finally defeated Blood Flame, removing the threat he posed to the battlefield.

Su Liyan walked up to Lu Yuan, noticed his slightly weary expression, and asked with concern.

Are you alright?

The battle just ended; you need to rest a bit.

Lu Yuan shook his head, smiling, and replied, 'I'm fine, just a little tired.'

Although this battle was fierce, we ultimately prevailed.

Su Liyan nodded; she knew Lu Yuan's strength was not to be underestimated, but also realized the battle must have taken a heavy toll on him.

She glanced at the edge of the battlefield, where ruined buildings and scattered corpses lay, the burning flames gradually dying out, leaving the whole battlefield unnaturally quiet.

Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, letting out a tremendous roar that drew their attention.

They looked up and saw a massive vortex forming in the sky, from which three spirit beasts flew out.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan immediately stood together, on guard, ready to face the new challenge.

The three spirit beasts looked unfriendly, their eyes flashing with strong hostility.

One of the spirit beasts crackled with electricity—it was the little thunder beast familiar to Lu Yuan.

Su Liyan also moved, her Ice Crystal Long Whip turning into an ice blade that she slashed at the other two spirit beasts.

She well knew the threat posed by the spirit beasts and had to deal with them quickly.

The battle erupted again, and Lu Yuan and Su Liyan coordinated seamlessly, unleashing their strength.

Lu Yuan employed the Five Elements Escape Technique, nimbly dodging the spirit beasts' attacks and striking back with the power of the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation.

Su Liyan, meanwhile, used ice arts as support, continually restraining the spirit beasts' movements to buy Lu Yuan time.

The spirit beasts launched fierce attacks nonstop, but Lu Yuan and Su Liyan showed no retreat.

Their goal was clear: to completely defeat these three spirit beasts.

Time ticked by, and Lu Yuan felt his stamina and spiritual power gradually draining away.

He knew that if he couldn't end the battle soon, the situation would become extremely dangerous.

He halted his attack, locking eyes with the little thunder beast, attempting to communicate with it.

The little thunder beast seemed to sense Lu Yuan's sincerity, gradually ceasing its attack, its eyes showing hesitation and wariness.

Lu Yuan approached the little thunder beast, slowly extending his hand to make contact.

The little thunder beast hesitated, then gently rubbed against Lu Yuan's hand.

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he had successfully dispelled the little thunder beast's hostility.

He stroked the little thunder beast's head, feeling the powerful electric energy within it, his heart filled with joy.

The little thunder beast seemed to sense their goodwill, spreading its wings and flying into the air.

With a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, it vanished into the distant sky, leaving behind a hush.

Lu Yuan sat by the wilderness campfire, tasting the spoils of the slain spirit beasts, gaining new insight into the different kinds of meat and bone.

He discovered that spirit beast meat differed from demon beast meat, being more suitable for cultivators, so he tried refining it into pills, achieving good results.

By the campfire, Lu Yuan held a piece of fruit-wood roasted meat, savoring it slowly, a satisfied smile on his lips.

Although the previous battle had left him somewhat fatigued, discovering these spoils refilled him with energy and enthusiasm.

"Su Liyan, come try this piece of spirit beast meat; the taste is absolutely extraordinary."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Su Liyan sat opposite him, taking the roasted meat Lu Yuan offered and tasting it bite by bite.

Her brows furrowed slightly, her expression a bit hesitant.

"How is it? How does it taste?"

Lu Yuan asked curiously.

Su Liyan chewed for a moment, then said, 'Indeed, it's not bad; it's purer than the demon beast meat we've eaten before and more beneficial for cultivators' bodies.'

Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, feeling very pleased with the unique effects of spirit beast meat.

It can not only serve as an energy supplement for his cultivation, but also be refined into higher-grade pills, offering cultivators even more aid.

"Next, we must continue onward."

Lu Yuan set down the roasted meat in his hand and stood up.

Su Liyan also rose, tossing the remaining roasted meat into the campfire.

She looked at Lu Yuan, a flicker of worry crossing her eyes.

"Lu Yuan, your stamina and spiritual power have been greatly depleted; we should rest a bit before moving on."

Lu Yuan shook his head, smiling, and said, 'It's fine; I've already recovered some.'

Moreover, our goal is almost within reach; we cannot be delayed by some trivial matters.

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan's firm gaze, her heart moved, and she also understood his resolve.

She nodded, expressing her support for Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan continued forward, and soon they reached the border of the Ziyun Clan's territory.

They saw some Ziyun Clan members searching around.

The Ziyun Clan is a powerful force in Heavenly Wind City; they are extremely furious about the spirit beast's killing and are determined to find the culprit.

Just as Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were preparing to bypass this territory, a group of Ziyun Clan members suddenly blocked their way.

The leader was the younger sister of the Ziyun Clan chief, Zi Cui Ling — Zi Xi'er.

"Lu Yuan, you two stop!"

"We will search you!"

Zi Xi'er said coldly.

Lu Yuan's heart stirred; he realized the Ziyun Clan suspected them of involvement in the spirit beast's killing.

He did not want to conflict with the Ziyun Clan, so he chose to cooperate honestly.

"Alright, go ahead and search."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

Zi Xi'er nodded and sent some clan members to search Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.

They carefully searched Lu Yuan and Su Liyan's persons, but found nothing suspicious.

This left Zi Xi'er somewhat dissatisfied; she felt that Lu Yuan and Su Liyan must be hiding something. (End of chapter)
