Chapter 49

Chu Yan picked some medicinal herbs on the road that could heal internal injuries and made two pills for Zhao Sanfeng. Now, Zhao Sanfeng's injuries were no longer serious, and the group gathered around the campfire, their faces not looking good.

Being hunted is not a pleasant feeling, especially by a group of strangers. For several days, the group had been traveling quickly, already crossing most of the Black Forest. However, as they went deeper, the number of people hunting them increased, exceeding a thousand.

Now, for them, every step was difficult, and any direction could suddenly have a hundred or more people shouting and attacking.

"Damn it! If I don't get out of this Black Forest alive, I'll never let them off!" Fat Fu Tao cursed.

"Everyone, rest quickly. As soon as it's light, we'll hurry on our way. Fatso, San'er, after we leave here, you'll follow me, and I'll take you into the Vast Heaven Sect." Chu Yan said.

"Really, Brother Chu?" The two became excited. The Vast Heaven Sect was the foremost among all sects, and even the royal families of various kingdoms vied to join. For people of their background, it was absolutely impossible to join.

"Don't worry, remember all the blood debts these past few days. Once we leave here, we'll make them pay with their blood!" Chu Yan said angrily, still not understanding who hated him so much and was determined to see him dead.

The night passed without incident. When it was still dim, Chu Yan and his group extinguished the campfire and prepared to move on.

However, they hadn't gone far when they stopped, their faces very serious.

Little Wolf crouched nearby, occasionally making a low growl, his eyes filled with a killing intent.

"There are people ambushing us ahead." Ye Xun said.

"Not just ahead, Brother Chu, there are people approaching from the left as well." Zhao Sanfeng said helplessly.

"We're surrounded." Chu Yan sighed. After several days of fleeing, this day had finally come. He thought someone must have exposed their location, attracting people from all directions. Now, they had nowhere to run, let alone reach the Ten Thousand Sects Platform. He knew that the Ten Thousand Sects Platform must already be surrounded, waiting for them to walk into a trap.

Four people and a wolf, they had nowhere to run.

"Let's fight them! We'll choose a direction and fight our way out." Zhao Sanfeng rubbed his chest wound and put on a pair of gloves.

Ye Xun also looked at Chu Yan. In this situation, running was impossible, so he was waiting for Chu Yan's order.

"You have two choices. The first is to leave on your own. They want me, and as long as you're not with me, they won't target you."

"Cut the crap, just say the second one!" Ye Xun rolled his eyes at Chu Yan, and Little Wolf also looked displeased.

"The second choice is to fight them. I'll send Little Wolf to find the weakest direction, and we'll fight our way out."

"Should have said that earlier! We've been running for days, and I've been wanting to kill them!" Zhao Sanfeng roared.

Chu Yan looked at the group, feeling a bit moved. He knew Fu Tao and Zhao Sanfeng followed him because of the wilderness, but now, even with the threat to their lives, they still chose to stand by him. This was very rare, so he nodded, saying nothing but remembering their loyalty in his heart.

Chu Yan looked at Little Wolf. As a beast, Little Wolf was familiar with the forest, making him the best choice to scout the terrain.

"I'm fast, I'll go too!"

Little Wolf went out, and Fu Tao followed. His speed was indeed fast, even surpassing the average Dust Realm Fifth Layer, making him a nimble and capable fat man.

Chu Yan and the other two also began to divide tasks. Chu Yan took out a large number of pills, distributing them to Ye Xun and Zhao Sanfeng. These pills were Continuation Essence Pills and Blood Replenishment Pills, which could significantly boost their combat power during the fight. After everyone received the pills, Chu Yan and the other two took out their weapons and waited for Little Wolf and Fatso to return, preparing for the final breakout.

"The weakest direction is at three o'clock. One Dust Realm Third Layer, three Dust Realm First Layer, and over a dozen Mortal Realm!" Fatso and Little Wolf returned.

"Then we'll go for the three o'clock direction, and fight our way out!" Chu Yan immediately ordered.

Four people and a wolf immediately aimed at the three o'clock direction, bursting out at high speed, crossing through the dark forest.

"Attack!"

The group at the three o'clock direction, who were slowly approaching Chu Yan, hadn't reacted when suddenly, a series of energy projectiles fell from the sky. Zhao Sanfeng jumped out of the bushes, striking the open ground with a series of punches. Each punch sent out a beam of light.

"Trouble! We're being attacked!" The people at the three o'clock direction were suddenly alarmed and quickly drew their weapons.

The leader of the Dust Realm Third Layer looked at Chu Yan and his group, his eyes cold: "Chu Yan? I didn't expect you to attack first."

Chu Yan glanced at the sharp-faced disciple: "You'll die next!"

"Arrogant! Everyone, attack!"

"Kill!"

Including Little Wolf, Chu Yan's group of five charged into the crowd like bloodthirsty wolves. They attacked wildly, using various martial techniques. Anyone Chu Yan encountered was killed with a single strike.

Although Chu Yan's current strength was only Dust Realm First Layer, with the Heaven Star Absolute Dust Canon and the Heaven Star Secret Technique, he was almost invincible at his level. He killed everyone he saw, and soon the group was stunned by his formidable combat power.

The opposing group was from a small kingdom. The leader of the group frowned when he saw Chu Yan. This was very different from the information he received. The Crimson Moon Valley had asked him to kill Chu Yan, describing him as a waste, a supreme waste. But the person in front of him was clearly a killing god.

Chu Yan unleashed a powerful momentum. His Three Feet Wind Chant could kill anyone. Soon, three Dust Realm First Layer disciples were dead, followed by countless Mortal Realm disciples. The Wind Chant aimed directly at the Dust Realm Third Layer disciple.

"Damn it! Retreat, let them go!" The leader was terrified. Although he was at Dust Realm Third Layer, he was already intimidated by Chu Yan's formidable momentum and lacked the courage to face him.

"Want to run?" Chu Yan coldly snorted, stomped his foot, and charged toward the leader.

The Wind Chant pierced through the leader's throat, and he stared in shock. A Dust Realm Third Layer disciple, killed by Chu Yan in an instant?

Ye Xun also swung his Black Dragon, killing two Mortal Realm disciples: "Your leader is dead, who else dares to fight!"

Ye Xun's shout made the remaining disciples panic. They were just a group of Mortal Realm disciples and dared not face Chu Yan and his group.

"Run!" All the disciples scattered, throwing down their weapons and running into the dark forest.

"Feels great!"

Fat Fu Tao also shouted excitedly. They had been hunted for days, and now they could finally fight back, making everyone feel relieved.

"A bunch of waste!" But at that moment, a disdainful voice echoed from the forest.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!" Next, a series of energy-imbued arrows shot out, followed by screams. The previous group of disciples was directly shot through the throat, with no survivors.

Seeing the numerous bodies on the ground, Chu Yan and his group frowned, and Ye Xun and the others moved closer to Chu Yan.

"Your friend?" Ye Xun asked.

"No, they're enemies." Chu Yan said seriously. The arrows that shot out from the dark forest were all at Dust Realm Third Layer, even he dared not block them easily, showing how terrifying their owners were.

Fat Fu Tao and the others became serious, and Little Wolf also howled, his eyes fixed on the depths of the forest.

Finally, after the arrows stopped, a group of young men walked out of the forest. There were only four of them, but they were dressed in noble attire. The leader wore a golden dragon robe and looked at the Dust Realm Third Layer disciple killed by Chu Yan: "Not bad, a Dust Realm First Layer can kill a Dust Realm Third Layer."

Chu Yan stared at the young man, feeling an unprecedented pressure from him: "Who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself. I am the second prince of the Snake Dragon Kingdom, Snake Yi. I didn't expect you to fall into my trap." Snake Yi smiled.

Hearing Snake Yi's words, Chu Yan and his group's faces darkened. The Snake Dragon Kingdom... was a major country that dominated ten empires, with strength ten times greater than the Long Dragon Kingdom.

"You deliberately arranged a group of weaker people here and let us choose to break through here?"

"Yes, your life is too valuable. If you fall into someone else's hands, I won't get the chance." Snake Yi nodded, and Chu Yan and the others' faces turned pale.

Fat Fu Tao clenched his fists: "Brother Chu, it's my fault. I didn't investigate clearly and didn't know they were ambushing us."

Chu Yan shook his head: "It's not your fault. They are all at Dust Realm Fifth Layer, and it's normal that you didn't detect them."

"What do we do now? This group is even harder to deal with than the previous dozen or so."

Ye Xun also felt the pressure. Chu Yan didn't speak; this group was stronger than any they had encountered before, even Bai Haohe and the others were no match.

"Damn it, let's fight them! If we die, we'll take one with us." Fat Fu Tao cursed.

"Bang!"

Snake Yi glanced at Fat Fu Tao, his eyes full of disdain. He waved his sleeve, and a gust of wind struck Fat Fu Tao, sending him rolling. He felt intense pain and crashed into a tree.

"Fatso!"

"Stupid fool." Snake Yi was full of disdain.

Ye Xun and Zhao Sanfeng drew their weapons, ready for a hard fight. They knew the next battle would be a matter of life and death, and they could not retreat.
