Chapter 304 - 279 Six Wolves of the Sky_1

They were being hunted down.

"At this rate, we will eventually be caught by those poisonous insects of the Fang Family."

Said the middle-aged man in his forties.

He is another disciple of Huang Xuan, Wang Lian.

He had achieved the True Body Fifth Refinement and cultivated an Upper True Body, his talent outstanding.

"Brother, and you two protectors, go ahead first, don’t worry about me."

Zhao Sirong gritted her teeth and said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You’re the Sect Master’s closed-door disciple, the future hope of our sect. Even if I have to die, I must save your life."

The old woman said with a solemn face.

"That’s right, anyone can die, but Sister cannot."

Wang Lian also agreed.

He deeply understands how much his master, Huang Xuan, cherished Zhao Sirong when he was alive.

Zhao Sirong, harboring miracles, was far from ordinary.

Others with the potential to possess a King’s True Body have been born in the Shengxuan Sect before, but Huang Xuan had never valued them as much.

Huang Xuan himself, had once cultivated a King’s True Body.

This shows that Zhao Sirong’s talent is beyond their imagination. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the future hope of the Shengxuan Sect.

"I have an idea. Sister’s cultivation is low, and the Fang Family’s people are more focused on me. They probably think the treasure is hidden on me. I’ll lead them away. After I’ve led them away, you two protectors disguise yourselves with Sister and head for Changze Village. Disguised as villagers of Changze Village, you can lay low until the situation passes, then you can head for Yanzhou quietly. It won’t be too late to go to Taizhou after that."

"If I manage to escape, I will meet up with you in Changze Village."

Said Wang Lian.

"Brother, doing so would be too dangerous."

Zhao Sirong shook her head.

"It’s decided, no need for more words. Sirong, this Sumi Mustard Seed Bag, keep it with you, make sure to hide it well."

Wang Lian handed a Sumi Mustard Seed Bag to Zhao Sirong.

"I will come with you. Alone, you may not be able to convince the sons of the Fang Family."

Said the old man.

Wang Lian nodded, and then left with the old man towards the back.

Meanwhile, the old woman took Zhao Sirong and concealed themselves in the branches of a big tree.

"Chase them, they’re over there."

"It’s Wang Lian, don’t let them get away."

Soon after, shouts echoed from the distance, gradually fading away.

After waiting for a while, the old woman took Zhao Sirong and jumped down from the tree, quietly moving forward toward Changze Village.

...

In the nighttime forest, the howling of wild beasts was incessant.

The scarred man and others were resting with the Shengxuan Sect youth in a clearing.

A kilometer away, Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo hid behind a large rock, observing in secret.

Following them along the way, they heard the conversation between the scarred man and the others, and found out that the six burly men, all from the Tianque Sect, were known as the Six Wolves of the Sky.

They were brothers, each having Innate Martial Bodies and outstanding talent. All of them had achieved the True Body Realm together, which was rare in the world.

The young man was named Yan Qi, a disciple of a deputy sect master of the Shengxuan Sect.

"Do you guys feel like someone is secretly following us?"

The scarred man transmitted a message to the other five burly men.

The five burly men looked confused, shaking their heads in unison.

"I have this constant feeling that there are two pairs of eyes watching us, and they’ve been following us from over a day ago."

The scarred man continued to transmit.

"Brother, since you have such a keen intuition, you must be right."

Replied one of the burly men.

"So it seems there are indeed two people following us secretly, most likely trying to take advantage of the situation."

Another burly man said.

"Hmph, thinking of benefiting from us, the Six Wolves of the Sky? It’s not that easy. Since that’s the case, let’s force them out."

Said the scarred man, then gave a few orders.

Three of the burly men got up and disappeared into the forest.

Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo frowned, unsure why the three burly men had suddenly left.

But not long after...

"Not good, we’ve been found out."

Lu Yan said in a low voice.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three figures appeared behind Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo, encircling them.

And the three up front suddenly sprang up, rushing toward Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo’s position.

Whoosh!

One of them threw a long spear, which flew at a high speed, shattering the huge rock where Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo were hiding before pushing towards Lu Yan’s chest.

Then, another burly man drew his bow and shot an arrow, which flashed towards Shen Yinuo like lightning.

Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo jumped back. In the process, Lu Yan placed his palm on the base of the spear. The spear changed direction and flew towards the sky, landing hundreds of meters away.

Shen Yinuo swung her palm horizontally at the arrowhead, causing it to fly off to the left. It pierced through nine large trees in a row before coming to a stop in the tenth tree.

The six burly men had completely surrounded Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.

The earlier two strikes were just to test Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo’s cultivation.

"Two Level Four True Bodies daring to follow us, you two are courting death. Let’s attack together and kill them."

The scarred man waved his hand, very decisively.

He was sure that Lu Yan and his companion must know that they have a way to find Zhao Sirong and the others, so it was impossible to let Lu Yan and his companion go.

If Lu Yan and his companion left and returned with stronger experts, what would they do then?

They were decisive, Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo were even more so, striking first before their opponents could get a chance to.

The two simultaneously launched their attacks on the three men behind them.

They struck with their full force upon their first move.

Shen Yinuo invoked the Great Sun Melting Furnace, which fell like a small mountain, suppressing a bulky man.

As for Lu Yan, he directly deployed four kinds of Body Refining Martial Arts, pushed Void Steps to the extreme, and rushed towards a sturdy man.

Thud!

The burly man attacked by Shen Yinuo had the cultivation level of Ture Body Fifth Refinement. His muscles were twisted like a wild bear, holding a long, diamond-encrusted stick, swinging it upwards, intending to strike the Great Sun Melting Furnace out of the way.

However, the moment the Great Sun Melting Furnace fell, let alone striking it away, he couldn’t even withstand it for a second and was immediately crushed into pulpy flesh by the furnace.

The sturdy man targeted by Lu Yan, was also not weak, cultivating at the same level of True Body Fifth Refinement. He swung a large saber towards Lu Yan.

Lu Yan didn’t dodge or avoid, rather he reached out to grab the blade, shook his hand, and disarmed the sturdy man. Stumbling back, Lu Yan grabbed the man’s blade and flung it away. A head soared high into the sky.

"Third brother, fifth brother!"

A sturdy man with the most robust physique bellowed, his eyes bloodshot.

"These two are talented individuals, we can’t scatter. We have to join forces to attack them."

The scar-faced burly man was more composed. He suppressed his grief and roared.

The remaining four men gathered together and aggressively charged at Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.

The fighting power of these four men was even stronger than the two who were killed previously.

Two of them were at Ture Body Seventh Refinement, while the other two were at True Body Sixth Refining.

Shen Yinuo urged the Great Sun Melting Furnace to suppress the four men.

Having learned from their mistakes, and being aware of the formidable power of the Great Sun Melting Furnace, three of the men struck simultaneously, each delivering a blow to confront the Great Sun Melting Furnace.

The fourth man, the scar-faced burly man, stayed back for defense, keeping an eye on Lu Yan.

Bang, bang, bang!

After three continuous loud noises, the Great Sun Melting Furnace was repelled backward, but the three burly men also retreated successively.

At the same time when the Great Sun Melting Furnace was suppressing downwards, Lu Yan had also charged out, causing his war knife to strike.

The scar-faced burly man swung a large saber with all his strength to counterattack.

Clang!

The blades collided with a deafening noise, the sharp blade light spreading in circles, engulfing the surroundings.

Then, a figure was seen retreating back, it was the scar-faced burly man.

Lu Yan, however, only wobbled slightly, then steadied himself.

"Cultivating at True Body Seventh Refinement, and also achieving a Middle-Grade True Body, no wonder he is not weak," Lu Yan thought to himself.

Little did he know, the scar-faced burly man was hit by shock after shock.

As a cultivator at True Body Seventh Refinement, he had reached the True Body Peak. He had also once mastered seven types of inner strength. His cultivation level was three small realms higher than Lu Yan, yet he was completely dominated by Lu Yan.

Even a King’s True Body does not have such terrifying strength.

However, he did not have time to think too much.

Because Lu Yan’s offensive was already upon him, the blades flashed again and again, and the entire sky was filled with their shadows.

He could only swing his war knife to counter the attack. The other three men could hardly lend a hand as the Great Sun Melting Furnace, like a blistering sun, radiated intense heat while suppressing the trio once again.

If they were even slightly distracted, they would be smashed into pulpy flesh.

Clang, Clang, Clang...

Lu Yan and the scar-faced man engaged in a rapid blade duel, executing extremely quick attacks. In just a few breaths, they had exchanged dozens of blows.

"The top-notch knife technique has reached the Unity of Man and Martial Arts," thought Lu Yan.

Not just the scar-faced man, but also the other men’s Top Martial Arts - almost all of them had stepped into the realm of the Unity of Man and Martial Arts.

Although these men appeared middle-aged, but in reality, they were at least two to three hundred years old.

After hundreds of years of rigorous cultivation coupled with guidance from renowned teachers, for these high-level True Body Realm combatants, achieving the Unity of Man and Martial Arts through a high-grade martial arts technique is not too challenging.

So one could say that after encountering opponents cultivating at True Body Sixth and Seventh Refinement, Lu Yan’s advantage in the realm of martial arts was diminishing.

Luckily, he had four supreme Body Refining Martial Arts techniques that he could use combined, making his power and explosive force reach astonishing levels. This was an advantage that others did not have.

It was this combat power that allowed the scar-faced burly man to fight Lu Yan for dozens of blows.

However, after dozens of clashes, the scar-faced burly man was entirely at a disadvantage, being dominated by Lu Yan and continuously retreating.

Clang!

After another blade clash, the scar-faced burly man stumbled back, the arm holding the blade was thrown backward, leaving him wide open to an attack.

Lu Yan was waiting for this opportunity. He put a spring in his step, pounced like a playful dragon, and slashed his war knife apart.

Jiu Jie Knife, Destruction.

Thud!

The scar-faced burly man was cut in half from head to toe by a blade. In the formidable true vigor of the war knife, the two halves of the body flew out tens of meters to the left and right.

"Older brother..."

The remaining three men howled, their eyes blood-red, but they also felt a chill in their hearts.

"Second brother, you two hold them off for now. Youngest brother will seek revenge for you," said the youngest of the burly men before he turned and ran.

Whoosh!

Lu Yan drew his bow and shot a Nine Ring Arrow, cutting through the void, hitting the fleeing burly man and killing him on the spot.

With the remaining two men screaming, desperate in their defense, they managed to make the Great Sun Melting Furnace vibrate endlessly and retreat backward.

But Lu Yan fired another Nine Ring Arrow, killing the second man who was at True Body Sixth Refining.

Only the last man with True Body Seventh Refinement remained.

Knowing he would inevitably die, he burned his true vigor, and after countering a strike from the Great Sun Melting Furnace, he rushed towards Shen Yinuo like a wild beast, hoping to pull Shen Yinuo with him to death.

But what met him were Lu Yan’s successive eight-ring arrows.

He blocked five arrows successively, but the sixth arrow hit his knee.

The burly man fell to the ground, and the seventh arrow pierced through his skull.
