Chapter 07 Encountering Bu Nan and Wu Lan

Hearing the scream from the deepest part of the forest, Lu Jin was really scared.

"If I get attacked by the owner of that voice, I will really die with just a swipe of its hand," Lu Jin said as he prepares to run out of the forest.

"Bai Nu, do you want to cause the eradication of the entire Moon Night Forest by interfering with the competition that the Great Emperor initiated," elder Anki said, empowering his voice with energy qi.

No voice was heard again for a few seconds, before a new voice sounded out.

"Any one of you in the tournament that can kill the human cultivator who killed Bai Lan, he or she will receive a position in the palace of me, Demon King Night Wolf," Demon King Night Wolf said.

"ROAR!!, HOWL!!!, GROWL!!!!" All the demons accepted the job and got themselves busy with searching for the killer of Bai Lan.

Before Lu Jin could get his head around the whole matter, he heard a roar coming from behind him.

Turning around, he saw four wolves encircling him and blocking his path. 

"Although I'm exhausted after battling Bai Lan, that does not give one rank 8 demon soldier and three rank 7 demon soldiers the right to block my path," Lu Jin thought as he activated the 7th move of his sword technique, Dancing with the wind.

Slashing his sword towards the four wolves, Lu Jin easily made a path before dashing through the corpses of the dead wolves.

Wiping the blood on his sword with his robe, Lu Jin left without retrieving the cores of the dead wolves.

Few minutes later, a group of demons came to where Lu Jin stayed, as they were called by the four wolves before they lost their life.

The group were made by six transformed demons, two were still in the peak rank 9 of the demon soldier realm, while the other four were already in the first rank of the demon commander realm.

"Looks like we came late, he went away with Bai Lan's core," one of the transformed demon soldier said as he looked at the place Lu Jin stayed to recover his strength.

"He really is ruthless. Killing all this human cultivators and dumping their bodies together with the demons he killed," the other transformed demon soldier said as she looked back at a transformed demon commander and asked, "can you track his scent?"

"It will take some time due to the smell of this bodies on the ground," the demon commander answered as he transformed into his true form.

It was a huge hound with scales on its face and the rest of his body was covered in furs.

Finding it easier to trace the various scent of people that have been to that place in the last few hours after transforming into his true form, the hound demon began tracing Lu Jin's scent.

Lu Jin was running through the forest after killing those wolves and didn't think to stop until he left that area of battle.

"How ruthless of the Demon King of Moon Night Palace to send all demons against me. Just how special was Bai Lan that he could force me to this state even after his death," Lu Jin said while still running.

Bang!!

Looking over to the direction of the sound, Lu Jin knew that it was a battle, but a battle that could warrant such noise could only be xiantian realm cultivators.

Lu Jin thought as he moved to the battle area, looking as cautious as possible.

Looking at what was in front of him, Lu Jin was surprised.

Bu Nan was dressed in a flame coloured armor and with a flaming spear in his hand, with four xiantian realm cultivators at his back while Wu Lan was dress in a silk robe and a lance in his hand, but the amount of threat he poses with the lance was higher than that of Bu Nan and his spear.

Two xiantian realm cultivators were standing behind Wu Lan.

Wu Lan said while looking at Bu Nan, "Bu Nan, what do you think you are doing, attacking your fellow student in a competition against the demons of Moon Night Forest, are you supporting the demons to lay waste to the students of the academy."

"Wu Lan, don't try to talk your way out of this. No one is here and even if you die, you were just not strong enough to come out alive, so nobody will try to find out why you died in this competition," Bu Nan said confidently as he commanded the xiantian realm cultivators, "attack."

Immediately, the both sides released their life spirits and the space occupied by Bu Nan and his group was scorching hot, that the trees around them were all burnt down.

The life spirit of Wu Lan was a tiger, face covered in a metal helmet and metallic wings at it back.

The other two cultivators have metal elements life spirits, one has a tortoise with a metallic shell as his life spirit and the other has a boar with scales as hard as steel, all over his body.

Launching their attacks, Wu Lan faced of against Bu Nan and the injured xiantian realm expert, the two xiantian realm helpers of Wu Lan faced the other three xiantian realm helpers of Bu Nan.

Watching the fight from a distance, Lu Jin was amazed as how Wu Lan group could hold their own even when out numbered.

Bang!!

Wu Lan was pushed back as he got struck by a flaming palm of the xiantian realm helper and blood could be seen at the corner of his mouth.

Knowing fully well that he will lose if he kept on being pushed back, Wu Lan used his mortal rank battle technique on the xiantian realm student. 

Erupting with the power of the silk robe and the lance, Wu Lan sent out the attack, with a steel gate appearing behind him.

Seeing the phenomenon created by Wu Lan, Bu Nan shouted as he unleash his armor to the limit, bringing the flaming spear to his front as he released his flaming eagle life spirit, "focus everything on defence and do not hold anything back, that the mortal rank battle technique of the Metal Elementary Hall of the academy *The gate of death.* It's said that who ever sees the gate open will die."

But before Bu Nan finished speaking, the gate opened and the first thing the xiantian realm expert saw was a tail coming at him at a breathtaking speed, so fast that he could not react as the tail whipped at him together with the lance in Wu Lan's hand.

sllsshh!!

Cutting through the xiantian realm expert, the tail continued forward before vanishing after losing all it strength, letting the environment to pay the price of its attack, as the vegetations were all destroyed along the path of the tail.

Panting, Wu Lan looked at Bu Nan, "I still have strength to carry out two more of that attack, so let continue if you want," he said as he straighten his back and tightened the grip on his lance.

Bu Nan looked at Wu Lan as he thought of the the previous attack, "I know that my armor will survive the attack but I can't say the same about my body."

"Fine, let stop and go our separate ways," Bu Nan said as told his people to come back, even though they have been pushing back the other two xiantian realm cultivators.

"Let leave," Wu Lan said as he started backing away, still wary of Bu Nan, he did not stop the power of the lance and silk robe.

"Why don't you all stay back and give your badges to us," a transformed demon soldier, sitting on a hound, said as he saw Wu Lan backing away.

They were the same group that came to the place Lu Jin killed Bai Lan.

"Why don't we leave them and continue following the scent of Bai Lan's killer to get the reward provided by King Night Wolf," the other transformed demon soldier said as she looked at the hound tracking the scent of Lu Jin.

"The human cultivator is just across this area, if we go now, we might catch up to him," the hound said as he looked at the male transformed demon soldier.

"Do not be in a haste to get something that is already yours, instead try to get more and add them up to what you own, that is what a demon should do," the male transformed demon soldier said while grinning.

"Fine, the hound is under your command and without it, I won't be able to find the cultivator. So let have it your way," the female transformed demon soldier said while looking at Wu Lan and Bu Nan.

Although Wu Lan group together with Bu Nan group sum up to 7 human cultivators, with five(5) at xiantian realm, having more cultivators than the demon side, which have 6 demon cultivators, four(4) at demon commander realm and two transformed demon soldier, Wu Lan and Bu Nan still felt that they are likely to lose the battle.

"Attack," Wu Lan said as he launched his lance towards the male transformed demon soldier using a core rank battle technique.

Facing the technique, Tai Bu threw out a palm strike.

Boom!

Coming in contact with each other, the attacks cancelled out each other.

Seeing blood in his palm, Tai Bu threw out three palm strike simultaneously as he launched it at Wu Lan.

Seeing the attack coming at him, Wu Lan powered up his lance as he whipped at Tai Bu, cutting through his attack, and whipping towards him. 

Seeing his palm strike getting split and the lance heading towards him, Tai Bu transformed into his true form and a 9 ft Ape appeared.

Sending out three palm strikes staked together, Tai Bu was now able to destroy the attack.

During the brief battle between Wu Lan and Tai Bu, Bu Nan and Yu Hui have gotten into a battle of their own.

A flaming spear accompanied by a flaming eagle swipe down at Yu Hui with the force to pin her on the ground forever.

Seeing the attack, Yu Hui powered her bloodline inheritance as she transformed into a Peacock of 6 ft, slashing her wings at the incoming spear.

Boom!!

Bu Nan and Yu Hui was thrown back as their attacks clashed against each other.

Watching the battle and hearing the conversation the demons were having about getting the Wolf King's reward and following the scent of Bai Lan's killer, Lu Ji figured out that they were talking about him.

Looking at the hound that was battling against the xiantian realm cultivator with a boar life spirit, Lu Jin started making his way towards their battle area.

New Chapter.....

Wu Lan could use a mortal rank battle technique three times because, the lance is filled with energy qi of a xiantian realm expert. Resonating with the energy qi helps lessen the burden of using a mortal rank battle techniques while still in the body tempering realm.....

Have a nice day and Jesus loves you.....

Thanks for your time and Patience...
