Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch. 21 - Xiao Yan Benefits from the Battle of the Two Powers

A cluster of red shadows, like a raging flood, darted through the forest. Their dense, bloody aura, caused some low rank Magical Beasts, who were out looking for food, to fear approaching. They could only use their terrified gazes from afar as they looked at the group of people as they ran past.

Moments after the group of red-colored humans flashed, another black-colored shadow leaped up and emerged from among the trees. His body flickered and stopped at the tree branch before raising his head, facing the group of red-colored people who lowered their heads as they ran wildly. He could not resist the frown. In a soft voice, he said, "If I continue delaying like this, Fan Lao might really catch up …"

Xiao Yan mused slightly, clenched his teeth and said softly, "If there is no chance to attack, then I can only make it by force."

As soon as he said this, Xiao Yan's feet gently pressed against the branch. His body gently floated down before his body continued to follow the group in front.

Two groups with a large disparity in numbers rushed through the mountain forest, with one in front and the other following behind. The distance between them did not exceed a hundred meters.

Xiao Yan remained close behind the group in front, silently counting the time in his heart. This continued in this manner for a few minutes before he was finally unable to hold on any longer. His feet violently stepped on the branches of the tree. His speed had just soared when he suddenly realized that the group of Fan Ling in front had actually stopped. His heart surged as he quietly reduced his speed and quietly landed on the tree branch before he approached cautiously.

In the empty open within the forest, Fan Ling waved her hand and reduced the speed of the entourage. His face was solemn as he looked at the Blood Guard in front whom he had sent to scout in front. He coldly asked, "Is there any activity ahead?"

"Junior Sect Leader, there are signs of people on the mountain path in that direction. After careful investigation, it seems that the people of ‘Black Skeleton Tomb’. " The Blood Guards kneeled on one knee as he reported respectfully.

"Black Skeleton Tomb?" Fan Ling's expression changed slightly when she heard this. He asked, "Have we also been stopped? How do they know where we are? "

"Junior Sect Leader, looking at their attitude, it seems like they are not ambushing us. Instead, they seemed to be searching for a secluded mountain path and using it to immediately return to Skull City." The experienced Blood Guards hesitated a little before speaking.

"Oh? Hey, after purchasing a Di class Dou Skill, they searched for a small and secluded path to secretly return to Skull City. It fits perfectly with the characters of those people." Fan Ling's eyes narrowed. He remembered that the Agility Type Dou Technique ‘The Three Thousand Lightning’ Movement, which he had so longed for was within their grasp. A burning desire that was hard to resist suddenly appeared in his heart. His gaze swept around him as he suddenly asked, "How many people do they have?"

"Top ten."

"Are those Hui Ku people among them?" Fan Ling immediately followed with another question. The Hui Ku that he had just talked about was the gray-robed middle-aged man who had fought with him for the ‘Three Thousand Lightning’ Movement at the auction exhibition yesterday.

"Yes. According to this subordinate's assessment, the other party should have two powerful Dou Ling and two Da Dou Shi. The rest were of the Dou Shi class." The Blood Guards seriously replied.

"Two Dou Ling, two Da Dou Shi huh" Fan Ling muttered softly to himself. A moment later, a smile of greed and savageness flashed across his narrowed eyes. With a wave of his hand, he said in a dark and cold manner, "Increase our speed, follow the people from ‘Black Skeleton Tomb’. Originally, I did not plan to have any ideas on the matter, but it just so happened that they themselves chose to take this small mountain path. They should not blame this young master for having such a black heart … "

"Junior Sect Leader, Sect Leader said that the most important mission we have now is to send ‘Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill’ back to Mu Zhi City. If any problems arise, it may be very detrimental to us." Seeing that Fan Ling was actually planning to stop the people from the Black Skeleton Tomb, the old man, who had been following beside her, was, could not help but hastily advise against it.

"Older Luo, you don't need to worry. The other party was much weaker than us, either in terms of the number or strength of the group as a whole. It is very beneficial for us to take this risk for a Di class Dou Technique." Fan Ling stretched out her hand and spoke weakly.

"This ..." Elder Luo hesitated for a moment when he heard this. He exchanged glances with the other old man beside him and then looked at Fan Ling, whose face was filled with determination. He could only nod helplessly.

"When the time comes, I need to trouble the two of you Elders to restrain Dou Ling from the other party. I will lead the Blood Guards to finish off others from the ‘Black Skeleton Tomb’. This time, it will be the same as we did with the people from ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’. We can't let half a man slip away! " Fan Ling coldly said. His killing style was firm without the slightest hesitation and could be considered a powerful figure. However, he was too greedy.

As Fan Ling's voice descended, the group of Blood Guards nodded calmly without letting out the slightest complaint or rejection.

Fan Ling nodded in satisfaction. He waved his hand and led forwards as they charged into the forest.

Not long after Fan Ling and the others disappeared, Xiao Yan's body appeared on top of a large tree. He observed where the former group had disappeared from, and a strange smile appeared on his face. In a soft voice, he said, "What a greedy person. When he saw something good, he just wanted to snatch it but this time, you were destined to be robbed."

Xiao Yan laughed softly as his body floated down from the huge tree before turning into a black shadow that leaped into the forest.

The figure of Xiao Yan floated within the forest. About ten minutes later, he suddenly slowed down and hid his body behind a large tree. He tilted his head and turned his eyes.

At this moment, on the empty ground that was only tens of meters away, over ten Blood Guards that were enveloped by bloody aura formed a circle, forming a circle, surrounded some people with black-colored skulls sewn into their robes. From the looks of the chaos on the ground and the injuries on their bodies, it was clear that both sides had engaged in an explosive battle in the previous short period of time.

In a place not far from the battle circle, there were two other small battlegrounds. Four human figures intertwined with each other. The sharp weapons in their hands carried a ferocious might as they slashed at each other fiercely. Occasionally, the glint from the blade and sword aura would hit the air, and the huge boulder or large tree beside it would instantly be cut off. From this, one could see that both sides were actually engaged in a life or death fight and did not intend to fight.

"Have they started fighting ..." Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the messy wasteland. He then glanced at those two small battlefields. A gray-robed middle-aged man among them was surprisingly the person of the ‘Black Skeleton Tomb’ during yesterday's auction exhibition.

"People from the ‘Black Skeleton Tomb’ can't stand being attacked like ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’ ..." As Xiao Yan muttered in his heart, Blood Guards, the Blood Guards, that entire body of his was surrounded by a bloody aura once again began to attack. The scent of blood that came almost made people vomit. Under more than ten shining blood blades, eight people from the ‘Black Skeleton Tomb’, with the exception of the two Da Dou Shi, who gritted their teeth and held on, survived, it was instantly slashed to death by that chaotic blade. Their deaths are very sad.

A dark, black, cold arrow suddenly shot out explosively. The cold arrow carrying a dense bloody aura back then violently pierced through the throat of a Da Dou Shi in a lightning-like manner. The immense power contained within it directly caused the arrow to pass through the man's throat and out from behind before finally nailing itself firmly onto the tree trunk. The tail of the arrow shook rapidly.

Xiao Yan's gaze swept towards where the arrow was shot. The one who attacked was actually Fan Ling, who was holding a bow in her hand. At this moment, he once again raised his bow after killing one Da Dou Shi and targeting another Da Dou Shi from a distance.

Seeing Fan Ling aim an arrow at him, the other Da Dou Shi's expression changed drastically. Dou Qi surged wildly within his body. In an instant, it agglomerated and formed a somewhat rough Dou Qi armor on the surface of its body. From the appearance of this Dou Qi armor, the strength of this Da Dou Shi was most likely around two or three stars.

"Hey, you want to block my ‘Blood Eclipse Arrow’ with just that broken Dou Qi armor?" Fan Ling could not help but laugh coldly when she saw the actions of Da Dou Shi. He pulled the bowstring back and released his finger. An arrow covered by blood-colored energy, shot out with explosive force. It turned into a bloody light that violently collided with that Dou Qi armor in a lightning-like manner. A ‘crunch’, which will make one's face sour, instantly audible.

The crackling sound did not last long before it suddenly stopped. This was because that blood-colored arrow had actually broken a small hole in that Dou Qi armor. The arrow then drilled into Da Dou Shi's throat through the hole …

Fan Ling indifferently looked at the Da Dou Shi who had fainted gently on the ground. He then witnessed the final attacks of these two Da Dou Shi right before their deaths, killing nearly ten Blood Guards. His heart could not endure the pain a little. It was not easy to take care of these Blood Guards

"Fortunately, there is a ‘Movement of Three Thousand Lightning’ as his compensation" Fan Ling repeated in his heart. Only then did he feel a little better. He tilted his head and stared at the other two powerful Dou Ling of the ‘Black Skeleton Tomb’ in the other two areas, who were held back by the two Elders until they could not move. In a weak voice, he said, "Mo-er Han. Hand over ‘Three Thousand Lightning’ Movement. If you fulfill my request, I'll leave you with a whole corpse."

The expression of the middle-aged man named Mo-er Han looked dark and solemn as he dodged the attack from the opponent in front of him. His voice was raucous as he said, "Fan Ling, you will regret this!"

Fan Ling laughed coldly as the bow and arrow in his hand slightly swayed and pointed towards the powerful Dou Ling. The blood aura was concentrated at the tip of the arrow and his eyes shrank tightly at this moment. At a certain moment, he finally found a gap from Dou Ling, who was forced out by his opponent. He loosened his hand and the blood arrow shot out explosively. A moment later, an arrow fiercely shot into the chest of a powerful Dou Ling.

"If I die, let's die together!"

The powerful Dou Ling of the ‘Black Skeleton Tomb’ was also extremely aggressive. Despite being hit by Fan Ling's cold arrow until he was severely injured with fresh blood repeatedly spilling out from his mouth, he threw out the weapon in his hand. He madly endured the intense pain as his hand was cut off by his opponent's blade as he used his other hand to wrap his opponent tightly. His face was ferocious as he shouted, "Bone Explosion!"

"Chairman Han, quickly retreat!" Fan Ling's expression changed and hurriedly shouted when she saw the face of the strong man from the ‘Black Skeleton Tomb’ suddenly turning into a strange green and purple.

"Bang!"

Fan Ling's warning had just fallen when that powerful Dou Ling suddenly exploded. The powerful energy ripples from the explosion removed nearly half a foot of land from the surrounding ground. The powerful Dou Ling of the Blood Sect had also been blasted by the explosion until his clothes were tattered and his skin was broken, revealing the flesh within. His face was pale as he hung with just a breath.

"Damn!" Looking at Elder Han, who had maintained his life, but temporarily lost his fighting ability, Fan Ling let out a harsh curse. He waved his hand and said in a dark and cold voice, "Blood Guards, listen, surround and kill Mo-er Han!"

"Yes!" The moment Fan Ling's order fell, the remaining twenty Blood Guards raised their long blades that had traces of blood that had still not dried up. After which, they carried a bloody aura throughout their bodies as they surrounded and attacked Mo-er Han.

Beleaguered and killed and surrounded and killed. This brutality happened on this piece of vacant land.

A strong Dou Ling kept Mo-er Han in front as dozens of powerful Blood Guards attacked from all directions and he had to be careful of the cold arrows from Fan Ling who was outside sieges. By being forced to be diverted to such extremes, the opening was forced out by Elder Luo after only lasting for a few minutes. Although he also risked his life to strike back and cause Elder Luo to be severely injured, he was also struck by a ferocious palm and completely fainted.

"Poooh"

That person called Elder Luo held onto his chest and exhaled a long breath. He spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood. As he glanced at the Blood Guards, where only ten were left, as well as Elder Han who was severely injured, he could not help but smile bitterly and shake his head. He did not expect that the people in this cruel ‘Black Skeleton Tomb’ and did not fear death. How bitter is the fight …

Seeing Mo-er Han finally unconscious, Fan Ling who was pulling her bowstring outside the battleground, finally heaved a sigh of relief. He carelessly put aside the bow and arrow in his hand and quickly walked forward. He then randomly picked up a long knife from the Blood Guards hand before violently slashing Mo-er Han's neck with a ferocious face, completely finishing him off.

He flicked the tip of the blade gently and raised the storage ring in Mo-er Han's hand. Fan Ling hurriedly flipped over everything inside. Moments later, a wild joy that was hard to hide filled his face. He shook his hand and a silver-colored ancient scroll appeared in his other hand.

"Ha ha, ‘Three Thousand Lightning’ Movement has landed on my hands. After I successfully practiced it, what could a strong Dou Wang do to me? Ha ha!" Fan Ling held the scroll tightly and could not help but face the sky and laugh out loud.

Just as Fan Ling had forgotten herself and was laughing out loud, a suction force suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The silver-colored scroll instantly flew out, and finally was carelessly grasped by a long arm.

"Ke Ke, thank you very much for the hard work of Junior Sect Leader Fan Ling. However, it is better for me to control this technique. "

A black-robed man strangely appeared on the branch of a tree. The silver-colored Dou Class Di Technique scroll reflected with a faint luster in the sunlight.
