Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 413: Xuan Gang Exposed
There are still more than ten days before the Seven Nations Ranked Tournament. The flow of people in Shenhuang City is getting bigger and bigger. How could the city gate be suddenly blocked at this time?
The most likely possibility is that Feng Chihuo, who was ambushed, was furious. After searching for him for most of the night and failing to find him, he was even more furious, so he issued an order through Feng Xichen to temporarily block the city gate, and only allow entry but not exit.
Yun Che took two steps back, and after a few thoughts flashed through his mind, his speed suddenly increased, and he forcefully knocked aside two city guards and rushed forward.
"Stop him!!"
Yun Che's move was tantamount to poking a hornet's nest, and dozens of nearby city guards rushed up at once. Yun Che grabbed Longque, and without even looking around, he swept his sword across. The violent heavy sword power was like a doomsday storm, sweeping away the besieged city guards fiercely. All of them were unable to stand up for a long time, and even the weapons in their hands were instantly destroyed.
The sky was only slightly bright, and no one dared to act rashly in Shenhuang City, so the guards at the city gate were relatively weak. Although they received the order to seal the city, the city gate was still wide open and not closed. After Yun Che cleared the obstacles, he rushed out of the city gate at a very fast speed without waiting for them to react, stepped on the land outside the city, and then summoned the Snow Phoenix Beast and flew away.
"Quick... Quickly notify Lord Chihuo." A fallen city guard screamed with all his strength.
A quarter of an hour later, a wave of fire whistled over the city gate, chasing the direction where Yun Che fled, and it was Feng Chihuo. Feng Xichen's order to him was to assassinate Yun Che, not only not to let anyone know, but not even to leave any traces. But obviously, Feng Chihuo had been so angry that he even made a big noise in order to completely kill Yun Che. After all, being teased by a junior who was only in the Earth Profound Realm was an unprecedented shame. If he didn't kill Yun Che, he would have a hard time getting rid of the hatred in his heart!
The speed of the Snow Phoenix Beast was naturally much faster than Yun Che. Even if Feng Chihuo found the right direction, he would not be able to catch up in a short time. However, Yun Che was completely unfamiliar with the terrain outside Shenhuang City. The map that Cang Yue prepared for him only had the route from Cangfeng Imperial City to Shenhuang City and the basic structure of Shenhuang City, but no terrain markings outside Shenhuang City. Whether he could find a terrain suitable for completely getting rid of Feng Chihuo depended entirely on fate and luck.
As a member of the Phoenix Divine Sect, Feng Chihuo must be extremely familiar with this area. At the same time, although the Snow Phoenix Beast was extremely fast, it would leave a trace of cold air wherever it went, which could easily become a trace of being tracked.
Under Yun Che's control, the speed of the Snow Phoenix Beast increased to the extreme, like a flash of lightning passing through the sky at a high speed, and in the blink of an eye it was already dozens of miles away from Shenhuang City.
Along the way, Yun Che's face was calm and gloomy. The area near Shenhuang City was mostly empty, and it was difficult to hide. However, more than half an hour had passed, and there was no sense of being pursued from behind. However, Yun Che did not relax because of this. He was 100,000 certain that Feng Chihuo would never give up the pursuit. The main reason why he had not been caught up so far was that the speed of the Snow Phoenix Beast was not much slower than that of Feng Chihuo.
Yun Che could not help but think of Hua Minghai... In terms of the strength of his profound strength, he was not even one-tenth of Feng Chihuo's, but his speed was so fast that Feng Chihuo could not catch up with him. If he could also practice what he called "Illusionary Lightning Extreme", he could easily get rid of Feng Chihuo.
He currently had only one body movement profound skill, the Star God Shattering Shadow. Although the Star God Shattering Shadow was extremely mysterious, it was only limited to combat. Its existence perfectly made up for the biggest defect of the heavy sword, allowing Yun Che to be as fast as a phantom while holding a heavy sword weighing tens of thousands of pounds. However, every time the Star God Shattering Shadow was activated, it was a short-distance instant displacement, and it was definitely not used for normal high-speed movement.
To the southwest of Yun Che, a vast expanse of endless mountain chains appeared in his sight. There were countless mountains in the mountains, and the highest peak was a thousand feet high. With a thought in his mind, he changed direction and rushed towards the mountain chains. Soon, he rushed into the mountains like a meteor.
As soon as he entered the mountains, an abnormal burning sensation came towards him. Several birds were startled and flew away in all directions... These birds were all covered in red feathers, and their bodies were releasing the breath of fire.
A mountain range should be covered with green grass and the mountain breeze was slightly cold, but the deeper Yun Che went, the hotter he felt the air. There were also various trees and vegetation here, but the color of the vegetation was mostly red, and basically released the breath of fire. Ninety percent of the profound beasts he encountered along the way were fire-type profound beasts.
Could it be because it was close to Shenhuang City and had something to do with the overly strong fire element in Shenhuang City?
After flying in the mountains for nearly an hour, there was no trace of Feng Chihuo behind him, and it seemed that he had completely gotten rid of it. Yun Che slowed down, and then the Snow Phoenix Beast descended from the sky, descending to a height of less than a hundred feet, so that the overlapping mountains could cover its figure. At this time, Jasmine's somewhat low voice suddenly rang in Yun Che's mind: "This place seems a little unusual."
"Unusual? Where do you mean?" Yun Che asked immediately.
"I originally thought that the scorching heat here was due to being in a volcano or an area with dense fire elements. But just now I casually explored it and found that the unusually active fire elements here came from a huge profound formation hidden in the depths... The entire mountain range is shrouded in this profound formation. If I am not mistaken, this huge profound formation should be set up by the Phoenix Divine Sect, and it is at least eight thousand years old. At the same time, it also means that this mountain range should belong to the Phoenix Divine Sect's territory..."
"You seem to have... entered a place that you should not enter!"
"Boy, I'll see where you can run this time!"
As soon as Jasmine's voice fell, Yun Che heard a loud angry roar. And the source of the sound... was actually in front of him.
Yun Che looked up and saw Feng Chihuo standing in a red robe on the top of a low mountain in front of him, with his hands behind his back. Although he was far away, he could still feel the rage surging from his body. Originally, Feng Ximing asked him, an eighth-level throne, to personally assassinate a person in the Earth Profound Realm. He felt that it was a waste of effort and an insult to his status and ability. If Feng Ximing hadn't ordered it personally, he would never have been willing to take action. However, for such an extremely simple task that insulted his status, he actually failed to succeed after finding the target and struggling for half the night. Instead, he was defeated by the opponent's Sky-Destroying Thunder... During these few hours, Feng Chihuo's anger never subsided. If his body wasn't strong enough, his chest would probably have exploded dozens of times.
Yun Che was secretly surprised. If Feng Chihuo caught up with him from behind, he would not be too surprised, because Feng Chihuo was not only faster than the Snow Phoenix Beast, but also more familiar with the Divine Phoenix Land than him. But what surprised him was that Feng Chihuo not only appeared in front of him, but also approached him so close, but he had never noticed it.
Jasmine knew what Yun Che was thinking, and whispered: "It seems that you will be in big trouble soon. This profound formation that is at least 8,000 years old is definitely not that simple."
Yun Che frowned, then grabbed the snow feather on the back of the Snow Phoenix Beast and growled: "Xiaochan... Let's go!!"
The direction of the Snow Phoenix Beast's flight quickly turned, turning into a white shadow at an extremely fast speed, and rushed to the back. Behind it, Feng Chihuo's roar came: "Still want to run! Once you get to this place, even if you have a hundred lives, don't think about escaping!"
The speed of the Snow Phoenix Beast increased to the extreme, and the altitude of the flight quickly dropped. The mountains around it quickly retreated, and two adjacent narrow canyons appeared in front of it.
Yun Che glanced behind him and pressed his hands down, suppressing the flying height of the Snow Phoenix Beast to less than ten feet. When he was close to the canyon, he activated the Ice End Divine Art and instantly opened the "Ice End Illusion Mirror", covering himself and the Snow Phoenix Beast at the same time, isolating the aura to a great extent. Then he stretched out his arms, released the Mysterious Gang and flew towards one of the canyons, and flew into another canyon.
This was his method of making the opponent confuse the direction of pursuit when he was being chased... It worked every time and never failed.
Behind him, Feng Chihuo was chasing at a not-too-fast speed, and in front of him, there was a strange fiery red mysterious formation that was slowly rotating. In the mysterious formation, there was a white dot that was slowly moving. Staring at this white dot, Feng Chihuo showed a playful sneer on his face... At this time, his brows suddenly moved, because he suddenly felt that the moving direction of the white dot in the mysterious formation and the direction of Yun Che's aura were actually quite different.
"What's going on? How could the Phoenix Formation have a deviation?"
Feng Chihuo stopped and raised his arms. Suddenly, the red profound formation floating in front of him slowly enlarged. As Feng Chihuo poured a beam of Phoenix profound energy into it, the profound formation quickly rotated, and then, two clear pictures slowly appeared...
One picture was Yun Che flying fast on the Snow Phoenix Beast...
The other picture was... a very fast flying orange-yellow light and shadow.
The breath of Yun Che that Feng Chihuo felt... was actually from this light and shadow. Its breath was exactly the same as Yun Che's breath.
Looking at this beam of orange light and shadow, Feng Chihuo was stunned at first, and then his pupils slowly shrank, and his face showed deep shock and disbelief. After a long while, two words with deep shock came out of his mouth...
"Xuan... Gang!!"
The Snow Phoenix Beast quickly passed through the canyon. At a glance, the highest peak of this mountain range was already in front of him. According to visual estimation, its height was about 1,500 feet. Feng Chihuo didn't catch up with him, but Yun Che didn't feel relieved. Instead, he began to feel something was wrong.
What was going on with this feeling of being stared at by a pair of eyes?
Was it an illusion?
"Run, keep running, let me see where you can run to."
Feng Chihuo's voice suddenly came, and the direction was still forward. Yun Che's face changed slightly and he raised his head... Feng Chihuo was floating leisurely in the sky less than thirty feet in front of him, with a teasing look in his eyes, but Yun Che unexpectedly didn't feel any murderous intent from him, and even his anger had dissipated a lot.
This time, Yun Che was completely sure that the feeling of being stared at all times was definitely not an illusion. Feng Chihuo in front of him was clearly locking onto his movements at all times in some way, and what he used was most likely the "profound formation" that Jasmine mentioned that covered the entire mountain range.
This time, Yun Che did not flee immediately. He looked at Feng Chihuo coldly and said, "Are you using the profound formation here to track me?"
"Oh? You can actually sense the Phoenix formation here? Oh... I forgot that you also have Phoenix bloodline, otherwise, you would not be able to enter here." Feng Chihuo approached step by step and sneered, "Your ability to hide your whereabouts really surprised me. I didn't even touch your shadow until dawn. If you fled in other directions, you might have escaped, but you broke into here... I have lived for a hundred years and have never seen such a perfect trap."
"Phoenix formation? What on earth is this place?"
"This is the Phoenix Mountain Range, where the Phoenix Divine Sect trains and examines the younger generation of disciples." At this point, Feng Chihuo was no longer worried about Yun Che escaping from his grasp. He said calmly, "Only people with Phoenix blood can enter here. Other humans who approach will be repelled by the Phoenix Formation. Since this is a place for training and examination, it is natural to monitor the every move of all training and examination disciples. And I happen to be one of the supervisors of the examination in the Phoenix Mountain Range. With the help of the Phoenix Formation here, I can keep track of everything here at any time, and even travel through the space here through the power of the Phoenix Formation."
Yun Che: "!!"
"I knew it the moment you entered the Phoenix Mountain Range. However, you are much more cunning than I thought, so I did not take action immediately to prevent you from escaping from the Phoenix Mountains, but let you go deeper... all the way to here. "Feng Chihuo looked directly at Yun Che and stretched out his palm: "You are now trapped in a jar, don't even dream of escaping. But don't worry, I suddenly don't want to kill you, because you have something that is enough to interest the sect master and the four holy places... Hehe, I didn't expect that you are not only a bastard who stole my Phoenix bloodline, but also a demon from the Illusory Demon Realm! I saw clearly the Xuan Gang you used!"
"!!!" Yun Che's face suddenly darkened, and an extremely strong murderous intent flashed through his eyes.
After awakening the Xuan Gang, Yun Che's combat power undoubtedly increased dramatically, but in the subsequent battles, he never used the Xuan Gang. Even when he was almost forced into a desperate situation by Ling Tian, he never thought of using the Xuan Gang. Because ordinary people may not know Xuan Gang, but Tianjian Villa, which has a thousand connections with Tianwei Sword Domain, is very likely to recognize Xuan Gang.
And Xuan Gang is the unique magical skill of the Yun family in the Illusory Demon Realm. As the head of the twelve guardian families of the Illusory Demon Royal Family, the Yun family is undoubtedly one of the biggest enemies of the Four Holy Lands. The Illusory Demon Realm has long been demonized by the Four Holy Lands. Once Xuan Gang is exposed, not only will the Four Holy Lands come after him, but people from the Seven Kingdoms will also regard him as a "demon".
At that time, there will be no place for him in the entire Tianxuan Continent.
The consequences of this are thousands of times more serious than exposing the Phoenix Flame.
Yun Che clenched his hands, and his eyes became icy and piercing. Before, all his energy was used to escape. But now, he absolutely cannot escape! The person who recognized his Xuan Gang... he must die!
No matter what, no matter how much it costs, he must be killed!
