Chapter 265: New Acquaintances

Deep in the dense forest, several disheveled figures stumbled toward the outskirts of the dense forest, blood flowing freely.

"Huff—huff—"

"Damn it, didn't they say Jin Dan stage demonic beasts are highly independent and never act in groups? Why are there so many Jin Dan stage demonic beasts?" Song Hua complained while running.

"Who knows! Is it useful to say this now? Hurry up and run!"

"It's all you! After using the directional teleportation talisman last time, we didn't have time to buy new ones, and you insisted on dragging everyone back into the dense forest!"

"Who knew we would encounter this situation? Ask these two bodyguards, have they ever encountered a time when Jin Dan stage demonic beasts acted in groups?"

"Four young masters, can you stop arguing first? Our top priority is to run to the outskirts of the dense forest. Once we are out of danger, we can talk about who is at fault," the two bodyguards ran, sweating profusely. They knew these young masters were hard to serve. Last time it was the Nascent Soul stage Six-Tusked White Elephant, and this time it was unknown why they provoked several Jin Dan late-stage demonic beasts.

What kind of luck is this!

They had been bodyguards for so many years and had never encountered such an outrageous situation. One of their companions had already died under the claws of the demonic beasts chasing them.

"Awoo—" Among the demonic beasts chasing them was a one-eyed lone wolf, its eyes fierce and bloodthirsty. It was it that bit a bodyguard to death alive.

The one-eyed lone wolf's four claws were red, and it ran as if it were riding the clouds and mist, its speed extremely fast.

It let out a cry, accelerated again, and rushed toward Song Hua and the others.

"Damn it, it's a Red Cloud Wolf. It's probably a former wolf king. The new wolf king defeated it and drove it out!" Song Hua cursed loudly.

The one-eyed lone wolf heard Song Hua's cursing, its eyes colder. It kicked its hind legs, leaped high, and bit toward Song Hua's neck.

Song Hua turned his head to look at this scene, his face turning pale instantly, revealing a look of death.

Just when he thought he was bound to die, he heard the sound of a sword ringing in his ears.

The sound of the sword was short and powerful, containing an inexplicable charm; only a master of sword techniques could stab this sword.

A sword stabbed toward the one-eyed lone wolf, startling it into turning around.

This sword was too fast, and it reacted too slowly, unable to dodge at all.

It could only open its bloody mouth and take the sword head-on.

The Green Sharp Sword collided with the wolf's teeth, making a harsh sound that made one's scalp tingle.

The one-eyed lone wolf was full of blood, and its sharp wolf teeth were only half left.

Lu Yang stabbed another sword toward the one-eyed lone wolf.

At the same time, three other figures met three demonic beasts.

Song Hua and the others were at a loss by these sudden reinforcements. Should they go up to help, continue running, or stay where they were?

There wasn't much time for Song Hua and the others to think. The one-eyed wolf king's head flew horizontally, dead as dead could be.

Lu Yang put away the Green Sharp Sword, a few drops of wolf blood splashing on his face.

"Be careful, there is still a demonic beast in the sky!" Song Hua reminded loudly.

Upon reaching the Jin Dan stage, one could fly in the sky. Song Hua and the others originally intended to fly away, but there was a demonic bird circling in the sky. If anyone took off, they would inevitably be targeted by it.

The demonic bird noticed Lu Yang's existence, its two wings shook, turning into a meteor arrow rain, rushing toward Lu Yang.

Lu Yang had long noticed the existence of the demonic bird. He didn't even lift his head, casually raising the Green Sharp Sword, his movement so casual, like stretching in the morning. The demonic bird crashed directly into the tip of the Green Sharp Sword, its head pierced through.

"Are you okay?" Lu Yang asked with concern.

"Who are you..." Song Hua and the others were shocked. Lu Yang's cultivation shown to the outside was Foundation Establishment late-stage, but how could a Foundation Establishment late-stage kill a one-eyed lone wolf and a demonic bird?

"Tsk, still a step slower than you," as he spoke, Meng Jingzhou also killed a demonic beast, his fists covered in demonic beast blood.

"Meng Jingzhou?" Song Hua widened his eyes, recognizing Meng Jingzhou.

"Are you... Song Hua, the third young master of the Song family in the Imperial Capital?" Meng Jingzhou was a bit uncertain, mainly because the other party was too disheveled, gray-faced, like a refugee running out of somewhere, completely different from the Song Hua in his impression.

Although the Song family was not as good as the Meng family, it was a well-known large family in the Imperial Capital, with superior living conditions. The last time he saw Song Hua was on a flower boat, singing and dancing, better than the flower queen.

"Yes, it's me!" Song Hua didn't expect that the people who saved him would include Meng Jingzhou. He heard that Meng Jingzhou had been missing for more than a year and hadn't seen his shadow.

However, judging from the calm attitude of the Meng family, Meng Jingzhou's disappearance was questionable.

"Is he the eldest young master of the Meng family, Meng Jingzhou?" The people behind Song Hua whispered in surprise. They were collateral branches of the Song family and hadn't seen Meng Jingzhou.

"You've done so many bad things, can you encounter enemies here?" Lu Yang was curious.

Meng Jingzhou rolled his eyes: "Enemy my ass. Let me introduce you. This is Song Hua, the third young master of the Song family in the Imperial Capital. He is a few years older than me. I played with him a few times when I was in the Imperial Capital. They came to the dense forest, probably like us, to train. Of course, it could also be to gild themselves."

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you, I am Lu Yang of the Congwendao Sect."

"Congwendao Sect?!" Song Hua lost his voice, but quickly calmed down, cupped his hands and thanked: "So it is a fellow Daoist of the Congwendao Sect. No wonder you have such skills."

In that case, Meng Jingzhou had been missing for more than a year to go to the Congwendao Sect to practice?

This is still okay? The Meng family was already a big disaster, and the Congwendao Sect was an even bigger disaster. Meng Jingzhou had the background of both places at the same time. Wouldn't he have enemies everywhere in the future?

Meng Jingzhou frowned: "Why do I feel like you are thinking about very rude things?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"The two of us also finished it." Not long after, Tao Yaoye and Seeing Man Gu both solved their respective demonic beasts. Song Hua noticed that these two were also Foundation Establishment late-stage, and after killing the demonic beasts, their clothes weren't even broken.

Lu Yang and the four of them had been training in the dense forest for two months, during which they only returned to Demon Suppression Pass three times, and the rest of the time they were honing themselves in the dense forest.

Now ordinary Jin Dan late-stage demonic beasts no longer posed a threat to them.

"Young Master Song, tell me, what heaven-resenting things have you done to make several Jin Dan stage demonic beasts chase you?" Meng Jingzhou asked lazily.

Song Hua was not Seeing Man Gu, who possessed the ancient barbarian bloodline and naturally drew hatred. It was one thing to provoke one or two Jin Dan stage demonic beasts, but how could he make five demonic beasts chase and kill them at the same time?

Song Hua and the others smiled helplessly: "We really don't know what the situation is. We just walked a bit deeper than usual, thinking of killing a few more high-quality Jin Dan stage demonic beasts so we could report back."

"It's strange to say. There should be more Jin Dan stage demonic beasts deeper in the dense forest, but we walked for a long time and didn't encounter any. When we encountered them, you saw the situation. Five appeared directly, and one bodyguard was swallowed alive."

"Fortunately, you took action to help, otherwise I'm afraid I would have died in the dense forest today." Song Hua had a sense of luck of surviving a disaster. After this disaster, he made up his mind that as soon as he returned to Demon Suppression Pass, he would take a flying boat back to the family.

Their harvest this time was enough to report to the family, no need to take risks again.

Lu Yang and the others looked at each other. There must have been some unknown change deeper in the dense forest.
