Chapter 24 - Fierce Battle in the Woods

Su Ziyan did not stay in Fuyue City for long. He went straight out of the city and headed towards a forest.

He didn't want to take action in the city. After all, he almost attracted the law enforcement officer.

But if I don't take action myself, I will feel uncomfortable being stared at by others, so I think it is better to solve the problem directly. Only in this way can the problem be solved.

The three cultivators from the Zhou family also knew that Su Ziyan had discovered them, so they no longer followed him stealthily. Instead, they appeared and chased after Su Ziyan, moving left and right in the woods.

After entering the woods, Su Ziyan stepped on the branches or trunks of the trees and kept moving forward.

The three people behind him formed a triangle and surrounded Su Ziyan.

Not long after that, they came to an area surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a bit of open space in the middle.

The ground was overgrown with weeds, and the animals that were originally eating grass here were scared away by Su Ziyan's arrival. Su Ziyan landed on the ground and stood there waiting.

After a while, the three people from the Zhou family behind had already landed in front of Su Ziyan, observing him quietly.

Su Ziyan looked at them vigilantly, and his spiritual sense was also always paying attention to the other party in case they suddenly attacked.

Su Ziyan could recognize who they were just by looking at their clothes. These three people were actually cultivators from the Zhou family.

Unexpectedly, they still found me. When I came out for the first time, the fifth-level Qi training cultivator I met said that he was a cultivator from the Zhou family.

But how did they recognize me? Do they have some special secret method?

There are three people on the other side, so I must not be careless. If I am careless, there is a high possibility that I will die.

After all, you cannot be distracted when fighting. Once you are distracted, the enemy will seize the opportunity and kill you.

So he had to take it seriously.

The three men just slowly surrounded Su Ziyan.

After a long time, Su Ziyan saw that the other three did not make any moves, so he squinted his eyes and looked at the people in front of him. "I wonder why you Taoist friends have been following me. Did I provoke you?"

Su Ziyan pretended to be confused, hoping to get through.

Moreover, Su Ziyan looked at them with an expressionless face. After all, anyone would be extremely angry after being chased for so long.

The leader was a young monk. He did not answer Su Ziyan's question, but replied, "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, where did you get the yellow storage bag on your waist?"

Su Ziyan looked down at his waist, his eyes fixed on the storage bag. He couldn't help but sigh in annoyance, wondering why he had forgotten about this.

Since we know that the man was a member of the Zhou family, he must have a special mark. It seems that the three people in front of us knew through the storage bag that we had killed a cultivator from the Zhou family.

I'm afraid they have now confirmed that they have killed the Zhou family's cultivators.

I have been discovered by them, but I don't know if other people in the Zhou family know that I was the one who killed someone from their family.

He thought quickly and said calmly, "This is what I got from a corpse I found in a small valley when I came here for training."

"Why, fellow Taoist, do you have any opinions?"

However, the leading young cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training did not believe what Su Ziyan said, and just replied coldly, "In that case, are you willing to follow me to our family?"

When Su Ziyan heard this, he certainly didn't want to go, because he didn't know what the consequences would be if he went, but after thinking about it, he knew that he might not come back.

After all, when I heard Pan Ruihua's introduction, I knew that the Zhou family had a foundation-building cultivator.

Moreover, let alone a foundation-building cultivator, even if there was a cultivator above the seventh level of Qi training, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a chance to run away.

So Su Ziyan bowed and apologized to them, "No, fellow Taoist, I am unable to go to your house with you due to something else, please forgive me."

However, the fifth-level Qi training cultivator from the Zhou family snorted coldly and said, "This is not up to you, you have to go whether you want to or not." After saying that, he slapped his hand on the storage bag and summoned a low-grade flying sword magic weapon, which floated in front of him.

Seeing that the other party was about to take action, Su Ziyan knew that there was no way he could get away with it.

Without saying a word, he summoned the low-grade flying sword from his storage bag. He also secretly held a talisman in his left hand, raising his aura to the peak.

The young monk said to the two monks beside him, "You stay by my side and help me to clear the battle. I will deal with him."

After saying that, he clasped his hands together and sent a stream of magic power into the flying sword in front of him. The flying sword flashed and flew towards Su Ziyan, rapidly growing in mid-air and turning into a five-foot-long flying sword.

Su Ziyan was not afraid either. He waved his hand and the flying sword in front of him grew larger and flew out, colliding with the young monk's flying sword.

The flying swords kept colliding in the air, neither could do anything to the other, and made bang bang sounds in the air.

The other two cultivators of the Zhou family were not idle either. They began to form seals with their hands.

The fat man just made the seal and shouted loudly, then slammed his hands on the ground. Suddenly, earth spikes popped out from the ground and stabbed towards Su Ziyan.

Su Ziyan immediately began to move left and right as soon as he saw it, dodging the earth spikes while using his spiritual sense to control the flying sword to resist them.

He quickly used his body skills to jump out of their encirclement and was not attacked from both sides.

But he couldn't turn around and run away. After all, those three people had already taken action. If he turned around and ran away, he would leave his back open to them to attack.

The young woman soon went to the fat man's side and started harassing Su Ziyan together.

The young female cultivator had also completed the seal, and a dozen slender ice needles were floating in front of her.

She stared at Su Ziyan's moving figure with a steady gaze, but her spiritual sense had already locked onto Su Ziyan. With a delicate cry, the ice needles in front of her flew towards Su Ziyan with a rustling sound.

Su Ziyan's pupils shrank, and he waved his left hand to shoot out the activated talisman, which immediately turned into a fireball one foot in size and flew towards the fat man and the female cultivator. The three cultivators were startled.

Intermediate talisman! They didn't expect that Su Ziyan's current cultivation level could actually activate an intermediate talisman.

When the fireball was about to touch the ice needles, Su Ziyan shouted "explode". With a loud bang, the ice needles were immediately evaporated under the high temperature.

The aftermath of the explosion threw the female cultivator out. Her body drew an arc in the air, and she spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground motionless.

The fat man was also affected and retreated dozens of steps with a muffled groan, interrupting his spell, and the earth spikes on the ground shrank back.

Su Ziyan no longer had to dodge and focused all his efforts on controlling the flying sword. He gritted his teeth and injected more of his magic power into the flying sword, making it grow even bigger.

The cultivator from the Zhou family was shocked. He didn't expect that Su Ziyan still had some hidden abilities and didn't even use his full strength.

And the most terrifying thing is that no one expected his magic power to be so profound.

He did not dare to hold back any strength and used all his strength to control the flying sword, but he was still no match for Su Ziyan.

Su Ziyan began to make hand gestures with his hands, and finally sent a stream of magic power into the flying sword. The flying sword flashed and instantly hit the flying sword of the young monk.

With a bang, the sword light on the young monk's flying sword suddenly dimmed, and the flying sword flew backwards.

The young monk only felt as if a huge hammer had hit his chest, making his throat feel sweet and he almost vomited blood, but he swallowed it down.

However, Su Ziyan's flying sword did not stop, but flew directly towards the young monk.

The young cultivator from the Zhou family did not sit still and wait for death. He immediately took out a low-grade magic weapon, a shield, from his storage bag and quickly activated it to block in front.

Just as he stood in front of him, there was a bang, and the flying sword hit his shield. The shield blocked Su Ziyan's attack, but he was also knocked back several feet.

But Su Ziyan continued to attack, as if he would not give up until the shield was broken.

Before long, the cultivator from the Zhou family finally ran out of mana to withstand Su Ziyan's fierce attacks. The shield flashed and turned back to its original palm-sized size.

Su Ziyan controlled the flying sword to circle around the Zhou family cultivator, and the young cultivator's head was chopped off.

Su Ziyan collected the storage bag from the corpse, shot out a fireball that turned it into ashes, and walked towards the direction of the female cultivator.

When the fat man saw that his boss had been beaten back, he realized that something was wrong and ran away.

He stood beside the female cultivator, but he didn't expect that the female cultivator was not dead. She just kept spitting blood out of her mouth and couldn't even speak.

Su Ziyan looked at the pleading in her eyes, but did not show any mercy. He took her storage bag and killed her with a sword.

He shot out a fireball that turned her body into ashes, and then left. Su Ziyan would not show any mercy to his enemies.

He took out a low-grade spirit stone to absorb spiritual energy, while rushing back from another direction, because he didn't know whether the fat man had called anyone.

So he had to go back to the cave immediately, pack up his things, leave the cave and leave. Although absorbing the spiritual energy in the spirit stone was not very fast, it was better than nothing.

After he rushed back to the cave, he immediately dug out the planted herbs and the auspicious cloud wood and put them in a box. He also put some miscellaneous items into a storage bag and then went down the mountain.

When he arrived at the thatched hut, he went in to meet the old man and explained his purpose to him. The old man did not ask any further questions and helped Su Ziyan leave the cave.

Su Ziyan walked out of the thatched cottage and immediately headed towards the outside of the market. Halfway through his walk, he suddenly changed direction.

He planned to go to another exit of the market town. He went straight to that exit without stopping. When he got there, he asked the guard to help him open the ban, and then he went out directly.

Not long after he got outside, his spiritual sense detected that someone was following him. He did not stop because the aura emitted by those people was obviously malicious.

He knew without thinking that it must be the cultivators from the Zhou family who were following him, and when he scanned them with his spiritual sense, he found that their cultivation levels were not very high.

There was one who had the same Qi training level as him, and there was one who was at the fourth level, and the one at the fourth level was the fat man.

They didn't get too close to me, they just followed me and didn't come up to fight me.

Su Ziyan thought about it, and suddenly a bad idea came to his mind. He thought that it was possible that these two people were following him and then told his location to their family members so that other cultivators from the Zhou family could come and deal with him together.

However, Su Ziyan was not wrong in his guess. The two monks followed him while sending out sound transmission notes to tell him where they were at the moment.

After knowing this, Su Ziyan did not continue running, but turned around and rushed towards the two monks.

He slapped his storage bag, took out the low-grade flying sword, and attacked the two monks.

The two monks did not show any intention of fighting with Su Ziyan, and they quickly retreated backwards.*
