THE SKY SWORDSMAN
Lahars

The night was getting late, the atmosphere within the Luyang clan was so gripping, many clan buildings were burned by flames.

It was seen that the fight of Yan Lan and the demon officer Zulgong was heating up even more.

"You won't be able to dodge my attack this time, young man!!" zulgong shouted in anger.

Zulgong put his hand on the ground then about a radius of 200 meters from where Zulgong was created a sea of fire lava.

Many clan members and demon humans who were sunk and lost burned along with the Zulgong-made fire lava, all the clan buildings that were exposed to the radius of the sea of fire lava did not escape destruction, the building sank into a sea of fire lava and was destroyed without remaining.

The clan higher-ups and the remaining clan members chose to stay away from the place, so as not to drown in the sea of fire lava.

"Quick get out of here and save the clan head, as well as the 3rd prince!!" shouted the vice-chairman of the Lu Sian Lang clan who was looking at the hot lava that was getting closer towards the boulder where the Luyang clan head was meditating.

Lu Sian Lang himself was the younger brother of Luyang clan head Lu Sian Hong, and he now served as the successor Luyang clan head during the Lu Sian Hong clan head's illness.

With a few clan higher-ups still remaining, Lu Sian lang headed towards the place where the head of Lu Sian Hong and the 3rd prince were located.

After breaking the seal on the boulder, Elder Lu Sian Lang and the 3 clan higher-ups, immediately brought the Luyang clan head and prince to the 3rd to stay away from the place.

But unfortunately their departure can be known by some demon humans who make the demon humans pursue.

"Oh, hell!!, the demon man is pursuing brother Lu Sian Lang" said one of the clan's top brass.

"Keep.!!, don't mind them, the safety of the 3rd prince and the clan head is more important," said elder Lu Sian Lang as he continued to rush forward.

Arrived to the 3 higher-ups of the luyang clan stop his running and pay their respects to the Luyang clan head and his representatives.

Seeing that, elder Lu Sian Lang and Lu Sian Hong and the 3rd prince also stopped running.

"What are you guys doing!?" hardik elder Lu Sian Lang.

"The three of us decided to fight with the dozens of demon humans so that the clan head and the 3rd prince could safely leave here" said one of the clan officials.

"If the clan head can survive then the Luyang clan will definitely still be able to survive, as well as the legitimate successor of the dragon gate palace that must also be saved," the other clan officials concluded.

Not long after, the pursuing demon humans were already getting closer.

"Quick get the clan head and the third prince away from here elder Lu Sian Lang, before the demon humans attack us!!" said one of the clan leaders.

"I will not leave you, we will fight together!!" replied Lu Sian Lang.

"I will also fight with you, we will fight together even though the hope of winning is very slim" clan head Lu Sian Hong said.

"Chairman.!, we will not allow you to join the fight, so let us face it, the future of the Luyang clan for the next generation is in the hands of your chairman, he said, the ancestors of the Luyang clan will be proud of you if the Luyang clan can rise again in the future" said one of the clan's top brass.

Chief Lu Sian Hong took a deep breath, and exhaled it out slowly the land.

"Thank you all for your trust, I am Lu Sian Hong very grateful," said chairman Lu Sian Hong as he clasped a fist saluting his 3-riggers.

Not long after that elder Lu Sian Lang immediately took the chairman Lu Sian Hong and the 3rd prince away from that place, because the demon humans were already clearly visible to their eyes.

After the departure of elder Lu Sian Lang who brought the 3rd prince and elder Lu Sian Hong, the clan elders instantly moved quickly against the pursuing demon humans.

Fierce battles ensued, and the buying and selling of attacks was inevitable. The higher-ups of the Luyang clan managed to kill some of the pursuing demon humans, but due to being outnumbered and the duration of the battle draining their strength, the three clan higher-ups had to be pushed back.

"If we have to die here, we will die honorable for having fought for the Luyang clan, I personally feel happy for having a brother like you," said one of the Luyang clan's top brass.

"Brother brother let's finish this battle to the last blood point" said another.

The three of them again attacked the remaining demon humans a dozen in number, with the spirit that was on them.

Some demon humans fell back in the hands of the three of them, but the duration of the battle made the Qi in the bodies of the Luyang clan's higher-ups begin to run out.

One by one the higher-ups of the Luyang clan had been seriously injured, and at the end of the day the three of them died at the hands of the demon humans who had abilities slightly below the three higher-ups of the Luyang clan.

Meanwhile Yan Lan who was facing Zulgong, could not do anything as her body was sucked into the smoldering sea of lava.

Zulgong burst out laughing triumphantly, as he saw the young man who was the target of the attack that night had entered into his sea of fire lava.

Yan Lan who was sucked into the burning lava sea tried hard to withstand the heat of the fire lava, plus the ability of the lava to absorb Qi made Yan Lan even worse.

The dragon shield he used slightly helped Yan Lan in fighting the intense heat, so that she could survive until now.

By exerting all his abilities, Yan Lan was trying to reach the edge where there was no sea of fire lava.

On the other hand, the Jatayu continues to rotate over the lava sea, waiting if at any time Yan Lan will appear on the surface of the lava.

After a long wait, Jatayu did not find Yan Lan's whereabouts and with mounting anger, Jatayu immediately attacked Zulgong.

Jatayu's very sudden attack made Zulgong keteteran and in the end Zulgong also gave resistance to the king of the heavenly birds.

Elsewhere, after taking out all the demon humans, Biyao and Leo immediately came to help Jatayu in the face of Zulgong, this made Zulgong troubled and desperate.

Having been unable to face the three, Zulgong chose to flee the place, and went towards the palace where the dragon gate was located.

"It is not necessary to pursue, we better look for the whereabouts of the young master" said Jatayu.

The three of them finally searched for the existence of Yan Lan by tracing the fire lava created by Zulgong, but after a long search, Yan Lan could not also be found.

*****

On a clear morning Yan Lan slowly opened her eyes, and found herself lying in a room.

Yan Lan tried to move her body, but her efforts were in vain because her body was now too weak to move, because it was running out of Qi inside her body.

Yan recalled the events that had happened to him, which he had been trapped into the sea of fire lava that had drowned him.

Until he had to exert all his abilities in resisting the heat that was so very strong on his body.

Yan Lan took a deep breath and exhaled it out slowly the land. "If we meet again, I will definitely annihilate you," inner Yan Lan while imagining Zulgong's face.

Suddenly Yan Lan was startled by the voice that greeted her.

"You're aware, young master?" said an old man.

Yan Lan looked at the old man's face deeply and sensed that the old man was no stranger to her.

Seriate.
