I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 406

Chapter 406 - Timely arrival

The crowd had closed their eyes, unwilling to see Lin Wan'er's head pierced through by the Earth Fire Scorpion's tail, but when they heard the sound of metal clanging against each other, they all opened their eyes in surprise.

A pitch-black greatsword cut through the air like a chasm, blocking the thick crimson awl!

The one holding the enormous sword was a thin figure that appeared out of nowhere. He was wearing a black robe. His clothes were fluttering under the powerful aura of the Earth Fire Scorpion.

Compared to the body of the Earth Fire Scorpion, he was insignificant. However, he was the only one who stood in front of Lin Wan'er, protecting her from behind!

The moment she saw the figure, Lin Wan'er was stunned. She covered her mouth in disbelief!

Yue Jing and Qiao Feng also opened their eyes wide at the same time. They felt as if they were in an illusion!

At this moment, the figure turned its head and looked at the dumbstruck Lin Wan'er. Xiang Yun's lips curved into a devilish smile!

"Little girl, your son is back!"

Looking at the familiar face she had been thinking about day and night, Lin Wan'er trembled. "Your highness, is it really you?" she asked cautiously.

"What do you think?" Xiang Yun asked back with a smile?

"Master!" At this moment, Qiao Feng had also clearly seen Xiang Yun's face. He was immediately overjoyed as he shouted out!

Seeing this disciple who had grown taller after not seeing him for so long, Xiang Yun couldn't help but give Qiao Feng a thumbs up, "Little guy, you can protect everyone now. You did well!"

Being praised by Xiang Yun, Qiao Feng immediately scratched his head in embarra.s.sment.

"Your Highness, you're finally here!"

At this time, when the weeping Yue Jing saw Xiang Yun, it was as if he had seen his savior. He excitedly shouted at the top of his lungs!

Xiang Yun was about to reply when the Earth Fire Scorpion behind him, whose eyes had been blocked off, suddenly turned scarlet red. Having its prey blocked by someone, it was already furious, and this human in front of it actually dared to ignore it, causing the Earth Fire Scorpion to go completely berserk!

"Hiss!"

The Earth Fire Scorpion opened its mouth wide, its long tail like a spear standing straight. It burst into flames that were incomparably scorching hot, like a scarlet fire spear as it ruthlessly thrust towards Xiang Yun's back!

"Your Highness, be careful!" Seeing this scene, Lin Wan'er was so frightened that her face turned pale. She cried out in alarm!

"Master, be careful, this guy is very strong!" Qiao Feng also nervously reminded!

Everyone in the hall also cried out in surprise. They had seen the power of this Earth Fire Scorpion before. Two of the seven cloud martial artists had been killed in an instant. This showed just how terrifying the strength of this Earth Fire Scorpion was!

However, in the face of this Earth Fire Scorpion's furious attack, Xiang Yun did not even turn his head. The giant azure sword in his hand twisted and flipped over 360 degrees as the body of the sword slammed down at a speed that could not be caught. It hit the Earth Fire Scorpion squarely on its steel-like back!

"Bam!"

A deafening sound rang out and the earth trembled. The Earth Fire Scorpion's huge body actually let out a mournful cry when it was struck by the sword. Its body was directly sunk into the ground.

Its hard carapace was instantly shattered, and even the fiery tail cone was instantly broken into several pieces!

The scorching heat emitted by the Earth Flame Scorpion was instantly obliterated by the sword. With a single strike, it died!

"Hiss!"

In an instant, the entire hall was silent, even a pin drop could be heard!

"It's dead!" Several guards of the crown prince's residence were dumbstruck as they watched the Earth Fire Scorpion sink into the ground, completely lifeless.

Lin Wan'er also looked at Xiang Yun in surprise. She had not expected that after just a few months, the crown prince would already have grown to such a level.

A level that could kill a soldier level cloud beast with a single slash!

Qiao Feng, who was at the side, couldn't help but jump up in excitement!

"Wow, Master is awesome!"

Xiang Yun smiled at the little fellow, then turned to Lin Wan'er and said, "Silly girl, stay here well. Wait for me to help Liu Hong and Zhang San deal with the Cloud Beast outside, then I'll come see you!"

"En!"

Lin Wan'er looked deeply at the man before her and nodded obediently. She knew that the current Xiang Yun was no longer the man who needed the protection of others. He was able to take charge of his own affairs!

Xiang Yun turned to the guards of the estate, saying, "I've already destroyed the Cloud Beasts underground. Protect them well. Don't let the other Cloud Beasts charge in and harm them!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Several guards immediately stood at the entrance of the hall with their chests puffed up.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, everyone only felt a strong gust of wind pa.s.s by their faces as Xiang Yun's figure disappeared from the great hall!

"Your Highness!"

Outside, Zhang San and Liu Hong had long since sensed Xiang Yun's aura. Their hearts were filled with shock and they couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Now that the battle at Qingming Peak was over, even if the two of them were at the peak of the Mysterious Cloud Realm, it would still be impossible for them to block this endless beast tide. Xiang Yun's arrival might not be a good thing.

"Your Highness, why have you come? This place is too dangerous!"

However, the moment Xiang Yun charged out, he transformed into a violent gale and wreaked havoc amongst the cloud beasts, harvesting them one after another. The two of them could not help but be momentarily stunned.

Who would have thought that after such a short period of time, Xiang Yun's current strength had actually reached such a state of tension that he was completely comparable to the forces of the Profound Cloud Realm!

"Mr. Liu, how much longer can you guys hold on, Housekeeper Zhang?" Xiang Yun asked the two as he continuously brandished the Blue Profound sword in his hands, causing a b.l.o.o.d.y mist to form around it.

Liu Hong said, "Your Highness, although our Yun Li consumption is not small, we still have nearly half of it. We should be able to hold on for a little longer!"

"Good thing that after this, you guys can suppress this Cloud Beast even without Yun Li's help. I want to rearrange the formation!"

When they heard that Xiang Yun could set up the array again, both of them were overjoyed!

"Your Highness, rest a.s.sured, we will definitely make room for Your Highness!" Both of them answered at the same time!

The reason why the two of them had been trapped by the horde of cloud beasts was because they didn't dare to use up their cloud energy that easily.

Otherwise, if it wasn't just the two of them who ran out of Yun Li's energy, everyone in the hall would be in danger. With Xiang Yun's words, the two of them would no longer have to hold back!

Liu Hong and Zhang San's bodies trembled at almost the same time. A wave of air rippled outwards, directly shooting towards the Cloud Beast that was encircling them!

"F * ck, I finally don't need to suffer the wrath of all of you beasts!"

Zhang San cursed as he held a huge saber made of condensed cloud energy in his hand. He slashed at the beasts in front of him with a sharp and unadorned slash!

"Buzz!"

A blade glow surged as it charged through the blade. In an instant, it spanned over a hundred feet. All the Cloud Beasts that it pa.s.sed by were instantly cut in half and lost their lives in an instant.

Liu Hong had also condensed a fiery red spear. As he swung it, a series of fiery tongues whistled as they stopped, instantly covering the horde of beasts charging up to the square. At that moment, the shrill sounds of beasts roaring rang out.

The two Mystic Cloud Realm peak stage Yun pract.i.tioners had attacked with their full power, and were standing on top of a mountain that was easy to defend against. It was truly impossible to defeat them alone and they immediately stabilized the situation, even trying to force the horde of Mystic Cloud beasts to retreat.

Xiang Yun took the opportunity to kill all of the remaining Cloud Beasts in the plaza before choosing a beast form from his storage ring.

Sixth grade 'Diamond Protection Formation'.

This was the highest level formation Xiang Yun had obtained at the Gesun Trading Company. It was a powerful formation that combined killing and defense. Apart from its high consumption, its defensive power could be said to be at the top of the sixth-grade formations.

This array formation had a total of 21 array flags. According to the arrangement of the nine palaces' gossip, Xiang Yun followed the layout of the main hall and the mountain behind the sect and in an instant circled the mountain peak. He quickly placed down the array flag, took out several hundred cloud crystals, and placed them all on the array formation plate!

"Formation, activate!"

The moment the word 'Enlightenment' was spoken, the top of the Qingming Peak was enveloped in a golden light. The twelve light spots on the ground formed a strange rhombus that spread out in all directions, forming a huge net that extended towards the sky!

When the large net enveloped the peak of the mountain, the large golden net immediately burst forth with a tyrannical energy wave, giving off a calm feeling as if it did not move like a mountain!

Xiang Yun used Yun Li to call back Liu Hong, Zhang San, and the formation plate to lead the way for the two of them. After the two entered the formation, they couldn't help but pant.

The two of them had just retreated when the horde of cloud beasts once again surged forward. However, when they approached the golden light defensive formation, a golden light flashed and bounced away the cloud beast that was charging at them.

Seeing the continuous horde of Cloud Beasts being sent flying, but the great formation remained unmoving, the Liu brothers finally let out a sigh of relief. The two turned around and looked at Xiang Yun, kneeling down on one knee to pay their respects.

Xiang Yun supported the two of them as he said, "No need for formalities, we'll talk about it later!"

A short while later, Xiang Yun, Lin Wan'er, Yue Jingjing, Qiao Feng, Liu Hong, and Zhang San were gathered in a new pavilion built by the nameless sect of Qingming Peak. Xiang Yun patiently listened to Liu Hong recount everything that had happened in the past few days.

It turned out that the beast tide had already erupted ten days ago. At that time, most of the Cloud Beasts were low level Cloud Beasts that lived in the outer area of the Silver Moon Mountain Range. Moreover, most of them pa.s.sed through the valleys of the Silver Moon Mountain Range and headed for the territory of the Wind and Cloud Country.

At the same time, because Qingming Peak was the thinnest place among all the peaks of the Silver Moon Mountain Range, it was even more hidden. There were very few Cloud Beasts attacking the mountain.

However, as the cloud beasts became denser, the number of high level cloud beasts that appeared also increased, and the Silver Moon Mountain Range was also ma.s.sacred.

All of the sects in the Silver Moon Mountain Range, other than the Joyous Sect and the Blood Shadow Palace, were able to hold on. Even the Spirit Gate was broken through by the cloud beasts. Their hundreds of years of history had all been destroyed.

It was a good thing that the Nameless Sect had the protection of two experts, Liu Hong and Zhang San, and had persisted up until now. Seeing that the great formation had been broken and was in a precarious situation, Xiang Yun arrived in time to set up the Diamond Protection Array.

"Your highness, what should we do now, continue to stand by and wait for the cloud beast tide to subside?" Liu Hong asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Xiang Yun frowned, deep in thought.

The several great forces refused to give up even if they did not achieve their goal. How could the beast tide retreat so easily? Even with the Diamond Protection Formation protecting the entrance, it was still impossible to resist the beast tide's impact.

However, if he didn't stay here and defend, he wouldn't be able to bring his people away, nor would the Heaven and Earth Escape Talisman be able to bring his people away.

Immediately, a difficult problem arose in front of Xiang Yun, causing him to be in a dilemma. He knew that he had to think of a perfect solution to this problem.

As he pondered, Xiang Yun's gaze swept in the direction of Silvermoon Forest. As he looked at the cloud of dust and the horde of clouds rising up, he shifted his gaze to the center of Silvermoon Forest, where there was a mountain range as smooth as a turtle's back.

"Beast King Mountain!"

A glint flashed through Xiang Yun's eyes as he came up with a bold idea.
