922. Chapter 920: Impressive

Even they themselves probably couldn't reach such a height, could they?

"Lu Yuan truly is admirable!"

Jiang Heng muttered to himself, unable to stop sighing.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan had already come up to Jiang Heng and the other, a playful cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth, as he focused his gaze to size them up.

"Huh?"

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows slightly, feeling that something was strange.

Logically, after he had just slain the four great experts of the Cangjing Clan, Jiang Heng and the other should be trembling with fear.

But in fact, aside from a look of shock on their faces, they showed hardly any other unusual expression.

"You… that's all the courage you have?"

Lu Yuan's face turned cold, his aura surging again like a sword hanging in the void, releasing an oppressive pressure.

"Junior Brother Lu Yuan, could it be… that you still find it insufficient?"

Jiang Heng stared for a moment, then his face flushed red as he asked embarrassedly.

"Hehe, I was just worried you couldn't bear it."

"What?"

"Rest assured, Junior Brother Lu Yuan, since we have joined the Cangyun Sect, we have already put life and death aside; even if we truly lose our lives, we will bear no grudge against anyone!"

"Rest assured, Junior Brother Lu Yuan, although we are weaker, we will not cling to life and fear death; go ahead and kill us, we are not afraid to die!"

Jiang Heng and the other gritted their teeth and shouted fiercely, their expressions resolute.

"If that's the case, then please go on your way in peace!"

Lu Yuan snorted coldly arrogantly, his body emanating an awe-inspiring aura.

Before his words had even faded, he suddenly lifted his foot and stomped down heavily.

Boom—

The violent roar echoed through the valley; Jiang Heng and Su Chen's faces turned pale, their bodies shook violently, and they seemed about to suffer a terrible fate.

However, at this critical moment, an unexpected scene appeared!

"Huh?" Lu Yuan's face sank, his eye twitching.

Only to see a sheet of silver light suddenly appear in the void beside Jiang Heng and the other, then a ball of silver light engulfed them and they vanished instantly.

"Damn it!"

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, his face extremely grim.

That aura fluctuation was fresh in his memory—it was exactly the aura of the Third Elder of the Cangjing Clan, namely that clan's peak expert.

Lu Yuan had long known that the Third Elder of the Cangjing Clan was hiding nearby; otherwise, the clan's four elders would not have risked tracking him. But he never imagined that the elder would intervene at this moment to block him from killing Jiang Heng and the other.

Moreover, while Jiang Heng and the other were being taken away, he also sensed the auras of three other martial artists.

"Cangjing Clan, you're really impossible to shake off!"

Lu Yuan shook his head and sneered, contempt flashing in his eyes.

He had thought entering the ruins would be easy this time, but who would have thought he'd run into these Cangjing Clan fellows, which truly annoyed him.

However, he also knew this was not the time to quibble about such things.

What mattered most right now was to leave this place as quickly as possible; otherwise, if he ran into others, the situation could become even worse.

After all, the Cangjing Clan not only has a martial-arts peak expert holding the fort, but it is said that the clan head and several elders are also peak experts, making their strength extremely terrifying.

If they were to surround him, even with his deepest trump cards, he would certainly gain no advantage.

Boom—

Thinking this, Lu Yuan wasted no time, shooting out of the forest and in an instant reaching a high slope hundreds of zhang away.

Here he had already left the ruins' location, and the view was relatively open.

Furthermore, extending westward in a straight line for several thousand zhang lies the outskirts of the Canglanguo royal capital.

There lies the spirit vein. Lu Yuan's eyes gleamed as he gazed into the distance, preparing to use the spirit vein's aid to swiftly shake off the Cangjing Clan's pursuers.

However, he did not know that, dozens of li away from this spot, three figures were closely tailing him, steadily drawing nearer.

Swish—

A tearing-through-the-air sound suddenly rang out as three black-robed martial artists shot through the sky at extreme speed!

"Huh?"

The leading black-robed elder's face suddenly darkened, a flash of icy cold light flashing in his eyes! "There's a situation!"

The other two, hearing this, were startled and, following his gaze, swept their eyes toward the forest ahead.

"Hiss! It's actually Lu Yuan of the Cangyun Sect!"

"He actually came to Cangjing!"

The three's pupils contracted, each flashing a hint of wariness in their eyes.

Lu Yuan's strength, even among the inner disciples of the Cangjing Clan, could be called top-notch, so they dared not be the slightest bit careless.

"As core disciples of the Cangyun Sect, how could they have run to Cangjing? Could there be some disturbance over in Canglanguo?"

The leading black-robed elder's face shifted between gloom and clarity, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Perhaps… that really is the case!" the black-robed youth beside him slowly exhaled a muffled breath, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

"No!" the leading black-robed elder's eye corner twitched, his brows blazing with sharp light! "This matter is certainly not ordinary! If it were truly as I guessed, the Canglanguo royal palace would surely have sent out some news, but now… there is no reaction at all!"

Hearing his words, the other two also had their faces fall! "That's right! This place is only a few thousand li from the Cangyun Sect, and the Cangjing Clan's four elders have been tracking him all the way, clearly they were prepared in advance."

"But now, we've been tailing him all the way here, yet we haven't received a single warning!"

The two shook their heads and sighed, a deep gloom welling up on their faces.

Lu Yuan's strength is clearly extraordinary; if they had been on guard earlier, or promptly messaged the Third Elder, perhaps this situation wouldn't have occurred.

There's no point saying this now; we should hurry and capture him!

Hehe, this way we actually save a lot of trouble!

The two men's expressions flickered with ferocity, and a fierce light blazed in their eyes.

Hmph! I advise you not to indulge in foolish fantasies; with your meager cultivation, you can't possibly do anything to me!

At that moment, Lu Yuan suddenly shouted in anger, a flash of icy severity crossing his eyes.

Huh?

This brat can actually sense our presence?

How is that possible?

The two men's faces instantly changed, a shock surging in their hearts.

Although Lu Yuan is quite strong and even possesses some secret techniques and treasures, his cultivation level is ultimately too low.

Even if he exerted his full strength, he could not possibly detect such a distance.

However, the facts before them prove that Lu Yuan can indeed sense their presence, and it seems he even carries a hint of mockery.

This left them feeling utterly bewildered.

Hmph! You needn't play mysterious; this old man doesn't believe he can't subdue you today!

The leading black-robed old man snorted angrily, his arms waving in the air.

Boom—boom—boom!

Rolling crimson mist suddenly erupted, transforming into ferocious blood pythons that lunged wildly at Lu Yuan, their momentum terrifying! "Hmph! Mere trickery!"

Lu Yuan gave a cold shout, his palms striking from afar; two piercing golden flashes instantly broke through the layers of blood mist and shot out.

Bang—bang!

Accompanied by two loud bangs, the two thick blood pythons instantly collapsed, the exploding blood mist tumbling wildly as it receded.

Lu Yuan's figure flickered, he directly passed through the blood mist and rushed toward the southeast of the dense forest. (End of chapter)
