70: Chapter 70 Rejuvenation Through Forging, Murong Xingyan

As time passed, the remaining Disciples of the two sects in the Secret Realm continued to decrease.

Since saving Ji Ruixue, Yi Kuhan had encountered nine more fellow Disciples scattered about.

Under her leadership, the group of thirteen was slowly making their way toward the center of the mountain forest.

...

At this moment, somewhere in the forest.

Lu Zian was leading five Xuan Yue Sect Disciples through the mountain forest.

Unluckily, they had unknowingly intruded into the territory of a Middle Stage Rank 3 Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast.

After scenting the aura of Lu Zian's group, the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast blocked their path.

"A Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast!"

"Looking at the aura it's emitting, it's at least at the Middle Stage of Rank 3. It might even Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Rank 3 soon."

The moment the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast blocked them, Lu Zian recognized its rank.

If Lu Zian were alone, he would have certainly turned and fled, but he currently had five Junior Brothers with him.

With the strength of the six of them, they could completely kill this Middle Stage Rank 3 Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast without sustaining any damage.

"Everyone, attack together! End this quickly."

To avoid attracting more Yao Beasts with the commotion of a retreat, Lu Zian quickly decided to kill this Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast.

"Cloud Piercing Sword!"

"Blazing Flame Palm!"

"Sweeping the Eight Directions!"

...

Under the assault of the six people, the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast soon fell in a pool of blood.

After excavating the Yao Core, the group continued forward.

What they didn't know was that the commotion from killing the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast just now had been discovered by five Divine Firmament Sect Disciples.

Soon, these five Divine Firmament Sect Disciples began to pursue them.

On the Xuan Yue Sect's side, besides Lu Zian, there were two other Condensing Origin Realm Disciples, while the remaining three were at the Returning Origin Realm.

The five pursuing Divine Firmament Sect Disciples all had cultivations at the Condensing Origin Realm.

"Junior Brother Jiang Zihang, lead everyone away first. I will stay behind to lure the pursuers away."

Sensing the people from the Divine Firmament Sect chasing from behind, Lu Zian spoke up.

"Senior Brother Lu Zian, let me go with you. Two people can look out for each other,"

Jiang Zihang said worriedly, glancing behind him.

"Don't worry, I'm just leading them away, not fighting them. I'll catch up with you later,"

Lu Zian said.

Hearing this, Jiang Zihang knew it wasn't the time to dally. He led the other Disciples and quietly ran in another direction.

After pausing for a moment until the figures of the Divine Firmament Sect Disciples were faintly visible behind him,

Lu Zian symbolically struck out twice with his palms and then fled in the opposite direction of Jiang Zihang and the others.

But how could Divine Firmament Sect Disciples who had reached the Condensing Origin Realm fail to see through Lu Zian's role as bait?

They only sent one person to chase Lu Zian, while the others pursued the direction Jiang Zihang and the others had fled.

Seeing this, Lu Zian had no choice but to turn back and intercept them.

Possessing the Earth Guardian and Thick Earth Armor, Lu Zian actually managed to temporarily stall all five pursuing Divine Firmament Sect members by himself.

"What a hard turtle shell. This kid must specialize in defense."

"Humph, since you want to sacrifice yourself for others, we'll grant your wish!"

After a brief exchange, one of the Divine Firmament Sect Disciples said.

Then, the five Divine Firmament Sect Disciples attacked Lu Zian together.

Boom, boom, boom...

The attacks of the five men slammed heavily against Lu Zian's Thick Earth Armor.

The Thick Earth Armor, manifested from the power of the earth, only dimmed slightly and was not shattered by their attacks.

At this time, the sound of the battle here caught the attention of Yun Chenfei's group.

"Saint, I think I heard bursts of rumbling in the distance,"

Jing Sheng, who was traveling on the back of the White Tiger, said uncertainly.

"I heard it too. It sounds like people fighting."

"I'll go take a look first. You all be careful."

After saying that, Yun Chenfei turned into a streak of green light and shot toward the source of the sound.

At the same time, Murong Xingyan, who had just forcefully killed two Xuan Yue Sect Disciples, also noticed the commotion where Lu Zian was.

He and Yun Chenfei, one after the other, rushed toward Lu Zian's location.

Lu Zian was not feeling well after enduring the attacks of the five men.

Although the Thick Earth Armor had blocked all the attacks for him, the counter-shock force caused his internal organs to churn.

To cover Jiang Zihang and the others' escape, Lu Zian could only hold on and stall for a bit longer.

"Relying on the Thick Earth Armor and throwing out the Command Flag at the critical moment, I should still be able to save my life."

"Exchanging my elimination for the safety of the five of them like Jiang Zihang is not a loss,"

Lu Zian thought to himself as he stubbornly blocked the path of the five men.

"Kid, I advise you to get out early to avoid suffering physical pain,"

one of the Divine Firmament Sect Disciples said, seeing they couldn't do anything to him for the time being.

"Humph, less nonsense. If you want to pass, you'll have to get through me first,"

Lu Zian said coldly, glancing at the five of them.

Hearing this, the five attacked Lu Zian fiercely once again.

Lu Zian didn't dodge either. He charged at the five of them, braving the attacks, and the six of them were instantly locked in battle again.

"Heh, so it's this Lu Zian with the Cannon Fodder Physique."

"I almost forgot about this. I suppose Murong Xingyan from the Divine Firmament Sect, who is re-cultivating his Physical Body, should be coming soon as well."

After scanning from a distance, Yun Chenfei recalled Lu Zian's personal information and couldn't help but speed up a bit more.

Under the repeated attacks of several people, the luster on Lu Zian's Thick Earth Armor dimmed even further.

He was also suffering from internal injuries due to the counter-shock force. With the attacks of the several men, blood constantly seeped from the corners of Lu Zian's mouth.

Looking at Lu Zian, who fought to the death without retreating, even the Divine Firmament Sect Disciples couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in their hearts.

At this moment, a blurred black shadow suddenly appeared behind Lu Zian. Then, the black shadow swung a fist casually, aiming directly at the back of his heart.

Just as that fist, the size of a sandbag, was about to hit Lu Zian,

a streak of green light suddenly descended from the sky. Then, a fist was quickly swung out to meet the black shadow's fist directly.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a dull thud, the two fists collided fiercely.

Invisible vigorous Qi suddenly scattered in all directions, directly impacting Lu Zian and the others, sending them flying backward.

After clashing with a punch, Yun Chenfei retreated more than a dozen steps before he could dissipate the counter-shock force.

Murong Xingyan, however, only retreated five steps to dissipate the force.

"What strong physical strength. Even with the enhancement of the Heaven Shaking Divine Power, he could still knock me back more than a dozen steps."

Yun Chenfei thought to himself, rubbing his somewhat numb arm.

"As expected of the Saint of the Xuan Yue Sect. You are the first person to take a punch from me head-on and remain unharmed."

Looking at Yun Chenfei, Murong Xingyan said in surprise.
