Chapter 13: Brilliant Hunting

  Li Ruo Dao didn't know what grudge these hunters had with Gong Sun Li, but he thought it should be the same as his. Thinking of this, Li Ruo Dao's hatred grew again, and he coldly blocked Gong Sun Li and Xuan Sha Nu with an oilskin bag.

  Those strong men all ran away, and a lonely teenager actually dared to stay behind alone. Gong Sunli was astonished and turned his head to look at Xuan Shaonu, who had a thick sarcastic expression in his eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.

  That hunting leader's strength has already approached the third level of Jingyuan's power, and with his incredible arm strength since birth, his body is filled with a heavy killing aura, making him more courageous than others. He wouldn't even be killed by his own sword. Let alone this unremarkable, desperate little kid in front of him.

  Xuan Sha Nu's Cong Jin sword technique was indeed famous in real battles.

  "Leave Young Master..."

  Xuan Sha Nu raised an eyebrow, about to get angry, when he suddenly saw Gong Sun Li look at the young man opposite him, his eyes revealing a hint of solemnity. He shook his head slightly and shouted: "Xuan Sha Nu, let's go."

  Gongsun Li suddenly turned his head and flew swiftly towards a distant place.

  "Huh?"

  Xuan Sha Nu and Li Ruo Dao were both stunned at the same time, unable to understand how Gong Sun Li could suddenly become timid like a mouse. This was not like that notoriously ruthless young master.

  Xuan Sha Nu let out a furious hum and reluctantly followed Gong Sun Li's back as they quickly escaped.

  Li Ruo Dao didn't know why Gong Sun Li was afraid of him to such an extent, and his eyebrows furrowed as he flew into pursuit. Seeing the two people in front running faster and faster, the essence of Li Ruo Dao's body rapidly circulated, and with a burst of speed, he suddenly appeared several zhang away, swiftly closing in on the two people in front with a whooshing sound.

  Just then, Gong Sunli and Xuan Kenu ran to an open area ahead, suddenly turned back at the same time, stood still, two long swords were drawn out, pointing directly at Li Ranno.

  Gongsun Li sneered coldly, "I didn't think there really was no ambush, and one person would come running over to deliver himself to death. Kid, were those few people who just died your father? Xuan Sha Nu, kill him, make it quick."

  "So it was."

  Li Ran suddenly realized.

  Gongsun Li was worried that he had come out alone and feared there might be an ambush behind the rocks. He led himself to run so far into the open area, and only when he saw no one following behind did he feel at ease. Li Ran also secretly sighed at the deep cunning of these aristocratic families. The various forces within the family were openly and secretly vying with each other, making the cunning of these aristocrats far surpass that of ordinary people.

  Xuan Sha Nu coldly smiled and sincerely praised:

  "Leave the young master, with absolute advantage you still have a vigilant heart, not to be taken advantage of by the villain. This mind will surely become a great achievement in the future. Hand this kid over to me, do you want him dead or alive?"

  Gongsun Li coldly smiled and said: "I'm too lazy to interrogate you, just kill him directly, throw the corpse into the mountain stream, don't bother me with trouble."

  Gongsun Li took a step back, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he waited for the blood to splatter. He had long since regarded the young man in front of him as a dead man, not taking him seriously at all, and was only thinking about how to use the clan's power to dig three feet underground to find out what happened to that group of people earlier.

  Xuan's killing intent surged as his sword flashed with golden light, the blade humming softly as it flew towards Li Ran's dagger.

  In the distance, among the mountains and rocks, more than a dozen hunters held Thousand Mile Eyes, their faces solemn as they gazed out at the open terrain. Seeing Li Ran Jian and Xuan Sha Nu rapidly approaching, many people's facial muscles involuntarily twitched, Xuan Sha Nu was too ruthless, and everyone simultaneously worried about Li Ran Jian.

  This group of people had a deep grudge against Gong Sun, and seeing that someone was going to die at the hands of Xuan again, their eyes turned red. They all looked at the leader, Fourth Brother, hoping he would give the order to charge out. Three brothers have already died, and there is even less hope for revenge; it's better to rush out and kill them quickly.

  That Fourth Brother held the Thousand Mile Eyes in his hand, and even his fingernails had turned somewhat white; he was rather hesitant in his heart.

  They are being killed by others less and less, looking at that young man should also have a deep hatred with Gong Sunli, if taking advantage of the chaos to rescue the young man, may be able to contact another group of people behind the young man to unite against a common enemy. However, in that case, there will inevitably be someone else who suffers from poisonous hands.

  Fourth brother struggled in his heart, and with a ruthless determination, he thought that no matter what, he couldn't let his brothers die for him again. That young man was so reckless, jumping out to seek death on his own, and it wasn't anyone else's fault.

  Fourth brother let out a deep sigh in his heart.

  At this moment, a green light flashed in the thousand-mile pupil, and a sharp long sword suddenly jumped out of the oil skin bag in the boy's hand. A flash of lightning shot forward with a swift and rapid movement.

  The sword flashed by, and a faint "hiss" sound was transmitted in the air. This sword was so fast that it stabbed at Xuan Sha Nu's throat one step ahead.

  Xuān Shā Nú was greatly shocked and quickly flung his body backward, just in time to see the opponent's long sword slanting across his own with a loud "peng" sound, striking at the weak point of his strength. Xuān Shā Nú's golden sword almost flew out of his hand, and he stumbled backward. The opponent's long sword flashed again like lightning in the clouds, and swiftly arrived at his throat.

  The dark assassin retreated in disarray once again.

  The young sword's green light flashed, its divine power was awe-inspiring, and it actually forced the Xuan-killer slave to retreat six or seven steps back, without even having the strength to counterattack.

  All the hunters were stunned and amazed by this scene, holding their Thousand Mile Eyes and staying there. They couldn't have imagined that a desperate young man would have such incredible swordsmanship and power.

  That Fourth Brother hastily shifted the focus of his Thousand Mile Eyes to Xuě Shā Nú, and saw that the golden sword in Xuě Shā Nú's hand was once again deflected by a single sword. The middle palace opened wide. Xuě Shā Nú's movement was excellent, like a great crane, he leaped up straight and flew his body, wanting to exit the battle circle.

  At this moment, a green light suddenly appeared in front of Si Ge, and it was Li Ran's long sword that shot towards Xuan Sha Nu's chest like a rainbow.

  Xuan Sha Nu suddenly came to his senses, but unfortunately he was in mid-air and couldn't muster up any strength. As he struggled to dodge, the long sword had already pierced through his heart. Xuan Sha Nu's body was sent flying backwards, crashing into the ground two zhang away with a loud thud, pinning him there. His body twitched twice before lying still, his face frozen in shock even after death.

  On the corpse of the mysterious killer, there was a masterless long sword, but the murderous aura emanating from it sent shivers down one's spine.

  The hunters cheered in unison, unable to hold back their loud shouts of joy. The sudden turn of events made them hot-blooded and excited, with many people's eyes welling up with tears as they silently prayed: "Brothers, heaven has opened its eyes, your enemies will soon be killed by others, may you rest in peace."

  Gongsun Li beside him was stunned, staring blankly at Li Ran's knife, his face pale, cold sweat dripping down.

  Li Ran's foot hooked the hilt of the golden sword on the ground, and the golden sword of Xuan Sha Nu bounced into his palm. With a leap, he pounced towards Gong Sun Li.

  Just now in that battle, Li Ran's knife was also involuntarily excited.

  Jingyuan's triple-layered peak power, combined with decades of sword intent, made the Flowing Clouds and Glazed Tile technique almost divine. The final sword throw was so powerful that it made Li Ruo's heart thump wildly. It had only been a few days since his rebirth, yet he had already recovered so much strength; even Li Ruo himself was extremely satisfied.

  Looking at Gong Sunli beside him, the hatred in Li Ran's heart was reignited again. The bloody whip marks on his father's back faintly appeared before his eyes. Gnashing his teeth, his long sword flashed like a rainbow, and he rushed towards Gong Sunli.

  Everything is for survival and for Father, this Gong Sunli must die.
