Chapter 27

"Regardless of what means you have, you will die today!" Fang Rui, with a sinister look on his face, held a soft sword and charged at Xiao Yun.

The long sword tore through the void, the sword energy cold and sharp like a rainbow, giving off an unstoppable momentum. Under this momentum, Xiao Yun couldn't help but frown slightly and dared not confront it head-on. The gap between early-stage and late-stage Xiantian was too great, making it hard to overcome.

"Better to preserve the green hills and not worry about the lack of firewood. Let's go!" Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, and he released his vast mental energy, which immediately enveloped the surroundings like a mist, causing the several Xiantian cultivators to be mentally shaken, as if deities had descended.

Just this moment of distraction allowed Xiao Yun to leap forward, his long sword thrusting, aiming at one of the Xiantian cultivators.

Thud!

The sword pierced the heart, and the Xiantian cultivator immediately died. Xiao Yun didn't dare to linger and immediately fled.

His mental power was still somewhat lacking, only able to influence the Xiantian cultivators for a brief moment.

Even for the late-stage Xiantian Fang Rui, the influence was very weak. If he continued to fight, he would be in a dire situation.

"What kind of evil technique did he use?" In an instant, Fang Rui regained his composure. His eyes brightened, and he was greatly alarmed when he saw the dead clan member, realizing that the previous clan member must have been influenced mentally to be killed by this young man.

"What kind of power could make my mind tremble?" The other two Xiantian cultivators looked at each other, their eyes full of shock, and they couldn't help but shiver. In just a moment, two clan members had fallen.

What kind of power did this young man possess?

Not only were the Xiantian cultivators shocked, but the Body Tempering cultivators were even more anxious and uneasy.

They had been watching the battle, helplessly watching their clan members be killed.

That young man was like a killing god, each move taking a life.

The sudden change cast a shadow over the Fang family cultivators.

"Chase him! We must kill Xiao Yun, or our Fang family will surely perish!" Fang Rui's eyes darkened, and he shouted.

"Yes!" The other two Xiantian cultivators also realized the severity of the situation.

The Fang family had already broken ties with the Xiao family. If this young man rose to power, would they have any chance of survival?

"Stay calm and don't let that boy take advantage of you." Fang Rui reminded them.

The other two Xiantian cultivators nodded, no longer daring to be careless.

Then, under Fang Rui's lead, the Fang family's forces immediately pursued.

"Damn it, those guys are still chasing us relentlessly." Xiao Yun had already left the mountain ravine, but his mental power still detected the Fang family cultivators, full of killing intent, chasing after him, causing him to frown.

"Brother, what should we do now?" The branches of the purple vine had already entered the sea of consciousness. It blinked its purple eyes, misty and worried, "Those bad guys won't let us go!"

"Don't be afraid, Little Zi, you heal first." Seeing the pitiful look on the little guy, Xiao Yun felt a pang of pain.

As he spoke, Xiao Yun controlled the green essence on the tender leaves of his martial soul to envelop the injured branches of the little guy.

Under the nourishment of this green essence, the little guy's wounds began to heal at a visible speed.

This essence was the essence of the martial soul, full of vitality and strong healing power.

At the same time, the wounds on the martial soul itself also healed under the nourishment of the essence, quickly recovering its vitality.

"Brother, Little Zi is better now." In a short while, the little guy's purple eyes sparkled with lively light, looking innocent and adorable, "Brother, you're so amazing, Little Zi won't be afraid of those bad guys bullying us anymore."

"Um." Xiao Yun used his mental power to sense, and upon discovering that the little guy and the martial soul had recovered, he was somewhat surprised. In less than half an hour, the severe wounds had healed, showing how extraordinary the martial soul was.

However, sensing the pursuing Fang family cultivators, Xiao Yun's brows furrowed slightly.

If it were just one Xiantian cultivator, he could still handle it, but Fang Rui, with late-stage Xiantian strength, was too powerful. Even his mental power couldn't control his mind for long, and now that Fang Rui was on guard, it would be even harder.

"We need to find a safe place to hide first. We'll deal with those bad guys when we have the strength. Do you have any way to shake them off?" Xiao Yun asked. For now, he could only avoid the sharp edge and wait for his strength to improve before seeking revenge.

Especially with the God-Extinguishing Technique, Xiao Yun believed that if his mental power improved further, he could control the mind of a late-stage Xiantian, and even if he couldn't eliminate the opponent, he would have the power to fight.

"Little Zi has no way." The little guy scratched his head, blinked his eyes, and thought seriously.

Suddenly, the little guy's eyes lit up, and he said, "Little Zi once heard the beasts in the Purple Cloud Ravine say that there is an ancient cultivator's relic ahead. There is a fire cave and many dangerous places. Perhaps we can hide there."

"An ancient cultivator's relic?" Hearing this, Xiao Yun's eyes lit up. The little guy had mentioned this place before.

"There, it is said that the flames are fierce and very dangerous..." Little Zi continued to describe the ancient cultivator's relic.

After listening for a while, Xiao Yun had a better understanding of the relic.

There was a fire vein, and the ancient cultivator's cave was filled with raging flames, with many fire-attribute beasts lurking.

However, after the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow appeared, those beasts had long fled.

"Alright, let's go there and see." After understanding the ancient cultivator's relic, Xiao Yun felt more confident.

Following the little guy's guidance, Xiao Yun moved forward toward the ancient cultivator's relic.

The Fang family's cultivators pursued relentlessly. Fortunately, Xiao Yun had already reached the Xiantian stage, and his speed was extraordinary. Otherwise, he would have been caught. Even so, the Fang family's people still followed closely, making it hard to shake them off.

After a full day, the mountains ahead were ablaze with fire. In the canyons and mountain hollows, volcanic craters and deep chasms filled with rolling flames could be seen, the scorching heat making it unbearable, as if the body were about to be incinerated.

"Where is this boy going?"

"Does he want to use this to avoid our pursuit?" The Fang family's cultivators pursued relentlessly, but after a while, many of them secretly complained. The temperature here was too high, and Body Tempering cultivators couldn't endure it.

"Hmph, even if it's dangerous, so what? Can you fly away?" Fang Rui looked sinister. The more the young man did this, the more it showed his lack of foundation, making his resolve to eliminate him even stronger.

A month ago, Xiao Yun had just broken through to the seventh level of Body Tempering, but now he had clearly reached the Xiantian stage. Such talent was rare in history, and Fang Rui couldn't be careless. If this young man grew up, he would surely become a great power.

At that time, how could the Fang family stand?

A month ago, Fang Hao had forced this young man in the Xiao family!

Fang Rui ordered the other two Xiantian cultivators to lead their respective teams to pursue and encircle the young man.

Because of his strong mental power, Xiao Yun had a good grasp of the surrounding terrain and always managed to avoid the Fang family's cultivators.

After a while, Xiao Yun's mental power detected a purple valley.

There, purple light soared into the sky, like mist, but upon closer inspection, the purple mist was actually fire essence. The surrounding mountains were barren, with only some special plants growing, but from a distance, it looked like a sea of purple.

"Such a dense fire essence." Xiao Yun's heart stirred, feeling a vast energy fluctuation in the valley.

"That's where the ancient cultivator's relic is." Little Zi also released his spiritual sense and said in a childish voice.

The little guy's purple eyes blinked continuously, seemingly curious about the outside world.

"Ancient cultivator's relic!" Xiao Yun's eyes flashed, and after confirming there were no powerful beasts nearby, he headed straight for the valley.

"The air is getting hotter here."

"What kind of place is this?" The Fang family's people followed, and many complained.

"Shut up, there are cliffs everywhere. That boy entering there is just asking for death. We just need to trap him and kill him." Fang Rui coldly snorted and then signaled the other two Xiantian cultivators to encircle the valley.

The Fang family's people approached step by step, trying to capture the young man.

At this moment, Xiao Yun had already entered the valley and was walking toward a cliff.

At the base of the cliff, there were ravines connected, filled with rolling flames, occasionally surging out. Upon closer inspection, the flames were tinged with purple, distorting the space as they burned.

"Such terrifying flames, I wonder if my martial soul can withstand them." Xiao Yun was startled.

These flames were much stronger than ordinary flames, seemingly capable of burning everything.

He moved forward and suddenly noticed a cave ahead.

The cave was not large, but it emitted a brilliant purple light, like a purple sun shining.

"Is this the ancient cultivator's cave?" Xiao Yun's brows furrowed. How could he enter such a cave?

This purple flame seemed to burn everything!

"Ha ha, Xiao Yun, with no way out, where will you run?" A slightly mad voice suddenly sounded.

In the valley, Fang Rui led a group of cultivators converging on the spot.

In a moment, they surrounded Xiao Yun.

The valley was filled with ravines leading deep into the earth, with flames constantly rolling. The few paths were surrounded by Fang Rui and his group. Xiao Yun scanned the surroundings and frowned, seemingly with no way out.

"Is this really a dead end?" Xiao Yun's brows raised, and he glanced at the Fang family cultivators with a sinister look, his eyes flashing with a hint of wolf-like ferocity, making people feel uneasy.

"What, do you want to fight to the death?" Under Fang Rui's lead, the other two Xiantian cultivators approached Xiao Yun.

Other Body Tempering cultivators followed closely.

Although their cultivation was not high, they could still create obstacles for the young man.

"If you want to kill me, come on." Xiao Yun's lips curled, and he turned and walked toward the cave spewing purple flames.

"Is this boy trying to enter that cave?"

"Is he not afraid of being burned to death?"

"Crazy, Xiao Yun is crazy!" The Fang family's people were all shocked and exclaimed in surprise.
