Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Ye Ling'er clenched the dagger, with a bit of anxiety on her face: "Brother Lu Yuan, they have been following us."

"If this continues, we will be surrounded sooner or later."

Chu Yao also nodded, the long sword trembling slightly in her hand: "We can't continue to be so passive."

"The methods used by these assassins are too strange. We must find their commander."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, he knew that time was running out.

"The terrain here is complex and suitable for an ambush."

"They are clearly trying to lead us into a deeper ambush."

"But we have no other choice."

Lu Yuan's voice was low, but it revealed a sense of determination.

"I'll divert their attention, and you guys leave first from the path on the left."

When Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er heard this, they immediately expressed their opposition.

"Brother Lu Yuan, we can't leave you alone!"

Ye Ling'er said anxiously, her eyes full of worry.

Chu Yao also frowned tightly: "It's too dangerous for you to deal with so many people alone."

Lu Yuan waved his hand gently and said calmly: "This is the best way."

"Their target is me. As soon as I show up, they will definitely focus their firepower."

"You take this opportunity to break out, so that we still have a chance of survival."

Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er looked at each other. Although they were reluctant, they also knew that Lu Yuan's decision was not a hasty one.

"Okay, we listen to you."

Chu Yao said in a low voice, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

Ye Ling'er bit her lip and finally nodded.

"Brother Lu Yuan, you must return safely."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Then, he gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly and rushed forward like a gust of wind.

"Evacuate from that path and don't look back!"

His voice echoed in the wind and then faded away.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao watched Lu Yuan's back, their eyes filled with complicated emotions.

But they knew very well that they had to rely on Lu Yuan's plan at this moment, otherwise the three of them would fall into deeper danger.

"Let's go. We can't let Lu Yuan's efforts go to waste."

Chu Yao whispered, pulling Ye Ling'er and quickly turning to the path on the left, disappearing into the dense woods.

……

Lu Yuan was traveling alone through the mountains and forests, his figure moving swiftly and agilely.

The assassin from the Black Demon Sect caught up with him quickly as expected, with several dark shadows chasing him like ghosts.

"Come on, let me see how capable you are."

Lu Yuan smiled coldly, the Xuanyuan Sword trembled slightly in his hand, and powerful spiritual power began to gather on the sword edge.

"If you want to kill me, then it depends on whether you have the ability to do so."

As soon as he finished speaking, several black shadows approached rapidly, with poison darts and daggers flashing coldly in the air, aiming straight for Lu Yuan's throat.

"Huh, what a small skill."

Lu Yuan shouted coldly, and the Xuanyuan Sword was suddenly unsheathed. The sword energy swept out like a storm, knocking down all the attacking hidden weapons.

But the attack of the black shadows did not stop at all. Their movements were swift and sharp, as if they had merged into the darkness, making it impossible to capture their figures.

"These assassins are really difficult to deal with."

Lu Yuan thought to himself, but he remained calm.

He knew that he had to find a breakthrough as soon as possible, otherwise these assassins would kill him here. At this moment, a strong sword light suddenly attacked from the side, so fast that Lu Yuan did not have any time to react.

"What a fast sword!"

Lu Yuan was startled and quickly dodged to the side, but the sword light still brushed his shoulder, bringing up a splash of blood.

He clenched his teeth and looked at the person who attacked him with a stern gaze.

He was a man in a black robe with a strange mask on his face, and the long sword in his hand exuded a strong evil aura.

"So you are the commander of these assassins."

Lu Yuan said coldly, and then the Xuanyuan Sword spun rapidly in his hand, and the sword energy rolled towards the black-robed man like a storm.

The man in black robe sneered, then swung the sword in his hand suddenly. The strong black light collided with Lu Yuan's sword energy in the air, and a deafening noise broke out.

"Your swordsmanship is good, but not good enough."

The man in black robe said in a cold voice, his figure approached like a ghost in an instant, and his long sword drew a strange arc in the air, heading straight for Lu Yuan's chest.

"It's not that easy to kill me!"

Lu Yuan shouted coldly and swung the Xuanyuan Sword violently. The strong sword energy instantly forced back the attack of the man in black robe.

The two men instantly engaged in a fierce battle, with sword lights crisscrossing in the air like lightning. The flashes of swords and shadows made the surrounding woods unable to bear the weight and collapsed one after another.

"Who are you? Why are the Dark Sect so obsessed with me?"

Lu Yuan asked coldly, the sword tip constantly spinning in the air, ready to meet the opponent's next wave of attack at any time.

The man in black robe sneered, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "You have offended someone you shouldn't have offended."

"How can you resist the power of the Black Demon Sect?"

"Today, I will take your life!"

After saying this, the long sword in the black-robed man's hand burst out with a strong black light again, and the entire forest was instantly shrouded in evil spirits, as if entering a gloomy and terrifying world.

"Humph!"

Lu Yuan snorted coldly, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light. The sword energy slashed forward like thunder, directly tearing apart the evil energy.

"Do you think you can deal with me in this way?"

Lu Yuan's eyes were sharp and his sword energy became more and more fierce, forcing the man in black robe to retreat again and again.

"This kid's strength is so strong?"

The man in black robe was secretly surprised. He obviously underestimated Lu Yuan's strength.

"But no matter how strong you are, you can't escape from here."

He sneered, then suddenly thrust the sword in his hand into the ground. In an instant, a huge black magic circle unfolded under his feet. A strong evil energy gushed out of the magic circle, and the air around him instantly became icy cold.

"This is... a formation!"

Lu Yuan was shocked and instantly realized that this was one of the forbidden techniques of the Black Demon Sect, which used magic circles to block the enemy's actions.

"Trying to trap me?"

He sneered, and swung the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly, with sword energy like thunder heading straight for the core of the magic circle.

However, after the sword energy hit the magic circle, although a strong vibration occurred, the magic circle still showed no signs of breaking.

"You have been trapped in my magic circle, so wait for your death!"

The man in black robe laughed loudly, then swung the sword in his hand again. The strong evil energy surged towards Lu Yuan like a tide, trying to devour him completely.

"You think you can trap me?"

Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold, and the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly spun in his hand. The sword energy condensed into a huge beam of light, heading straight for the core of the magic circle.

"Tiangang Sword Formation!"

As Lu Yuan shouted angrily, sword energy burst out instantly, and the entire magic circle finally began to crack under the strong impact.

"boom!"

The magic circle was completely shattered, the evil spirit dissipated, and the black-robed man was blown backwards by the sword energy and fell heavily to the ground, blood constantly oozing from the corners of his mouth.

"You...you actually broke my magic circle?" (End of this chapter)
