Chapter 206 In Crisis
A disciple who looked calmer made a quick decision. He directed the others to carry Feng Wuhen's body out of the cave, while he stayed behind to check the scene and try to find some clues.
Ximen Tianyu was watching all this from the dark, secretly feeling lucky. He knew that the reason he was able to escape by chance, in addition to his own strength, was also largely because Feng Wuhen's sudden death had disrupted the Xiao family's deployment.
He did not hesitate for too long. While the Xiao family's disciples were concentrating on Feng Wuhen, he quietly left the cave and fled into the depths of the dense forest. He knew that he had to leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise once the Xiao family reacted and organized a larger-scale pursuit, it would be difficult for him to escape.
However, the support from the Xiao family came much faster than Ximen Tianyu expected. Not long after he stepped into the depths of the dense forest, a burst of hurried footsteps and faint shouts came from not far away. Ximen Tianyu's heart trembled, and he immediately found a hidden bush to hide, holding his breath and concentrating, observing the movements outside.
Through the gaps between the dense leaves, he vaguely saw a group of Xiao family disciples rapidly approaching the direction he had fled before, obviously conducting a carpet search.
Ximen Tianyu was secretly calculating in his heart. He knew that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He had to use his wisdom and the terrain to develop a route to escape. He carefully observed the surrounding terrain and found a winding stream not far away. The stream was clear and the water was fast. He suddenly had an idea and decided to use this stream as a cover to try to escape from the water.
He moved carefully along the edge of the bushes, trying not to make any noise. When he approached the stream, he jumped into the cold water. The water soaked him all over, but he didn't care and just swam downstream desperately.
However, Ximen Tianyu ignored the sound of swimming in the water and the ripples on the water surface. These subtle changes were soon noticed by the sharp disciples of the Xiao family. Several of them quickly exchanged glances, and obviously guessed Ximen Tianyu's intention.
"He ran into the water!"
A disciple shouted loudly, pointing in the direction where Ximen Tianyu disappeared. Upon hearing this, the other disciples quickened their pace and chased along the stream. Some of them were good at swimming and were ready to go into the water to chase him.
Ximen Tianyu swam hard in the water, feeling nervous and anxious. He knew that although he had temporarily escaped the pursuit on land, his speed and flexibility would be greatly reduced in the water. If he was caught up, he would not even have a chance to fight back.
Seeing the people chasing him getting closer and closer, he kicked the riverbed hard, using the force to jump out of the water. At the same time, he quickly grabbed a rock on the riverbed with both hands and stood on it.
At the same time, the Xiao family members who were chasing from all directions had already formed a siege on Ximen Tianyu.
Ximen Tianyu stood on the reef, surrounded by turbulent water and the cold faces of Xiao family disciples. The situation was extremely critical. But he did not show any panic, instead his eyes flashed with calmness and determination.
He took a deep breath, glanced at each opponent, and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.
After thinking it over, Ximen Tianyu had no choice but to use his last trump card.
At this moment, a disciple of the Xiao family could not hold back and attacked him first. The long sword in his hand cut through the water, and with a sharp sword energy, he went straight to Ximen Tianyu's face. Ximen Tianyu slightly turned his body and easily avoided the attack. At the same time, he was secretly glad that although the opponent's attack was swift, it obviously lacked sufficient experience and was full of loopholes.
He took advantage of the moment when the two passed by and slapped the man's temple with his palm. With the infusion of spiritual power, the Xiao family disciple instantly lost his vitality, his body sank softly into the water, and was washed away by the rapids. This sudden change made the surrounding Xiao family disciples stunned. They didn't expect Ximen Tianyu to be able to fight back in such a desperate situation, and succeeded in one blow. But soon, they came to their senses, roared, and attacked Ximen Tianyu again.
This time, the Xiao family obviously did not make the same mistake as before. They all rushed forward and attacked Ximen Tianyu's vital points. The swords flashed like stars in the dense forest, and each sword contained a deadly threat.
"Pure Flaming Sun!"
Ximen Tianyu shouted in his heart, and a hot breath gushed out from his body, surrounding him and forming a layer of red flame shield.
The Xiao family members who were attacking him screamed miserably as soon as they were touched by the flames. Their clothes were instantly set on fire and their skin seemed to be burned by the flames. They were in excruciating pain. The flames were so powerful that the surrounding water vapor was completely evaporated, and a pungent smell of burning filled the air.
Ximen Tianyu took advantage of the sudden flame shield and rose up like a phoenix reborn from the ashes. He rushed left and right in the siege of the Xiao family disciples. Every punch was accompanied by the roar of flames, and he repelled the enemies one by one. His eyes flashed with determination and unyielding, as if he wanted to pour out all his anger and unwillingness.
"You, the Xiao family, harmed my parents. Today I will make you pay the price!"
Ximen Tianyu's voice echoed in the flames, with unquestionable majesty.
Seeing this, the Xiao family disciples all showed fear on their faces. They did not expect Ximen Tianyu to have such a powerful trump card. However, as a member of the Xiao family, they knew their responsibilities very well. Even when facing a powerful enemy, they could not retreat. So, they gritted their teeth and persisted, continuing to attack Ximen Tianyu, even though each attack seemed so weak.
However, Ximen Tianyu's flame shield seemed endless, and no matter how the Xiao family disciples attacked, they could not break it. On the contrary, under his counterattack, the casualties of the Xiao family disciples became more and more serious.
"Could this fire be the unique skill of the Dongfang family - Pure Sun Flame?"
An elder with a good cultivation level exclaimed with some uncertainty.
His guess made his companions around him look even paler. Pure Yangyan, that is a powerful fire spell that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Dongfang family and is almost extinct in the world. It is said that it can burn everything in the world, even the soul. Ximen Tianyu actually mastered such power, which undoubtedly made their situation worse.
Ximen Tianyu stood on the reef, the flames surrounding him becoming more and more intense. His eyes were filled with the pleasure of revenge and shock at his own strength.
