Chapter 282 - Defeat Me First
Chapter 282: Defeat Me First
The bright moon shone brightly.
The breeze blew and the leaves rustled.
A figure shuttled through the mountain range at extreme speed.
The moonlight lengthened his figure.
Hu ~ Hu ~
It was a panting sound.
This person was a little flustered, but he tried his best to remain calm.
He had been staying far away from Kunlun.
It was as if a powerful enemy was chasing after them.
Heavenly Human Race’s Fu Yuan.
After obtaining the sand board, he didn’t stay any longer and fled Kunlun at his fastest speed.
Jiang Lan frowned.
The other party had escaped for a long time.
They were already very far away from Qingcheng Town, but the other party showed no signs of stopping.
“Does he know that someone was following him?”
Jiang Lan didn’t feel like he had been discovered, but the rising sun was about to rise from the east, so the other party didn’t relax in the slightest.
This was not normal.
The other party did not show any signs of looking for his companions either.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lan stopped following him. Since the other party wasn’t looking for his companions, then there was no value in following him.
He took a step forward and activated his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel to its limit.
In an instant, he had overtaken Fu Yuan in an instant.
Fu Yuan, who was fleeing for his life, suddenly saw a figure descending from the sky.
He seemed to have seen the other party clearly, but he also seemed to have not.
However, the cultivation base that the other party displayed was that of a Human Immortal.
The other party had hidden his cultivation.
This was his first thought.
Then, he changed directions and continued to speed up his escape.
Not long after, a figure descended from the sky.
This time, Fu Yuan did not change his position. The other party’s strength far exceeded his.
At this moment, the energy from Fu Yuan’s body was faintly discernible, as though there was a shadow appearing around him.
The strength of a mid-stage True Immortal was fully revealed.
“Friend, why are you blocking my way?”
Fu Yuan’s voice was a little low. He looked at Jiang Lan, his entire body filled with the aura of power.
It was as if he wanted to let the other party know his strength.
Jiang Lan stood under the moonlight. At this moment, the moon was no longer bright. It was as if light was beginning to appear in the sky, occupying the sky stage.
The power of a mid-stage True Immortal surged, making Jiang Lan more vigilant. He gathered his Power of Nine Bulls.
He had to make sure that he made a move and killed him in one strike.
No matter how one looked at it, a True Immortal would have some life-protecting methods.
True Immortals could not be underestimated.
If he wanted to make a move, then he would go all out. He absolutely couldn’t allow any future troubles to arise.
But…
The shadow on the other party made him feel a little familiar.
Was that the Heavenly Human Race’s 10,000 Phantoms Technique?
“You are from the Heavenly Human Race?”
Jiang Lan’s voice sounded.
The Heavenly Human Race’s people came again, but this time, it seemed like it wasn’t because of him.
But… he could be an obstacle to being conveniently disposed of.
“You’re from Kunlun? I didn’t expect you guys to find out so quickly. Is it just you that has come, or is it just you that is left here? “Fu Yuan looked at Jiang Lan with a gloomy expression.
The other party had concealed his strength, but if he were to go all out, he might not be able to hold him back.
This person definitely did not surpass the limits of a True Immortal.
Perhaps he really was a Human Immortal, just that he was fast.
He would find an opportunity to strike.
“Just me,” Jiang Lan answered.
“Where are the rest of you?”
“Others?” Fu Yuan looked at Jiang Lan.
“You have to ask the demons. Besides, as an ally, if you want me to tell you their location, you have to defeat me first.”
“Understood.” Jiang Lan nodded.
Then, he took a step and disappeared.
Fu Yuan was stunned for a moment and wanted to unleash his attack.
Just as he was about to attack, a person suddenly appeared on his right, followed by a loud boom.
Bang!
Blood mist scattered.
To his horror, he saw the hand he was about to lift shatter before his eyes.
Intense pain assaulted him, and he immediately planned to counterattack.
In the next moment, he lost feeling in his other hand.
It turned out that someone had come to his left unknowingly.
The other party’s hand was on his shoulder and he exerted a little force.
Bang!
The arm shattered on the spot and turned into a bloody mist.
“You lost.” Jiang Lan’s voice sounded from within the blood mist, cold and ruthless.
“Can you tell me where they are?”
Jiang Lan asked.
“You. Can. Dream. On.” Fu Yuan’s face twisted with pain. He didn’t stop moving. Power exploded through him.
At this moment, he was rushing towards Jiang Lan.
He wanted to unleash the power of a True Immortal.
He wanted to perish together with Jiang Lan.
“Die.”
However, just as he roared, a hand was placed on his head.
“No!
Boom!!!
He pressed down with one hand, and blood mist scattered.
Fu Yuan was dead.
He didn’t even have a chance to attack.
When True Immortals fought, if they didn’t settle things quickly, the disturbance would be too great.
Of course, this place was far enough from Kunlun, so some commotion wouldn’t bring any problems.
Jiang Lan walked back step by step without obtaining much useful information.
However, it was not completely empty-handed.
At the very least, he understood that the other party was from the Heavenly Human Race. He also knew that the Underground Devils’ attack might have something to do with the Heavenly Human Race.
There were still the demons.
The one who called him by his name last time should be a demon.
There hadn’t been any sound from them lately. He wasn’t sure if they’d been killed or he had gone into hiding.
There was no sign of them at the moment.
Jiang Lan activated his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel, wanting to return to Kunlun as soon as possible.
There was no news of the person Imperial Lord Xi He was talking about.
As of now, it was unknown why the other party had fled in advance.
If this happened again and again, even if Imperial Lord Xi He provided him with a rough location, he still wouldn’t be able to kill the other party.
…
…
In the morning, the light illuminated the mountains.
It was the prelude to the day.
“Fu Yuan is dead.” Fu Jie looked into the distance and said.
“He had been gone for a long time. If he was evenly matched with his opponent, he wouldn’t have not made it back. Looks like we have to be prepared.”
With that said, Fu Jie looked at Miao Nian. Miao Nian was the main decision-maker.
“Ignore the other things for now. Let’s approach Kunlun first. Let’s see how it goes. Even at the foot of Kunlun, that powerhouse would more or less know something. ”
They had already been targeted. In other words, no matter how they dodged, they could still be killed.
Theoretically, they would not be targeted unless they were at the Heaven Immortal Realm.
There was only one possibility.
It was because of the power exerted by that powerhouse.
The longer they delayed, the more dangerous it would be.
They had to head to the foot of Mount Kunlun immediately.
“Should we find the person from the Ninth Summit who had ascended the Stairway to Heavens?” Fu Jie asked.
“We can try to divine his location. If it’s hidden, then let’s forget it. If we can find him, we shall see where he is. If it’s convenient, we will act. If it’s not convenient, we shall not alert him. Once the mission is completed, let’s see if there’s another chance for us to finish him off,” said Miao Nian.
Fu Jie agreed with him. They did not think that they would be able to return alive.
But everything had just started and they had already lost one.
This was a huge blow to them.
If not for that powerhouse’s divine art, they would not have been able to live until now.
It seemed like they needed to complete the mission as soon as possible.
There was not much time left.
Fu Jie took out a square disk array.
This was a Dharma treasure used to lock onto Jiang Lan’s fate.
When Jiang Lan ascended the Stairway to Heavens, he formed a strong karma with the Heavenly Human Race. Using this as a medium to find Jiang Lan wouldn’t be that difficult.
It would depend on whether or not he had concealed himself from the heavens.
If he had, then they would give up on the spot.
They would not alert the enemy.
