Chapter 601: Return to Mang Mountains
As soon as Jiang Yun saw the endless mountains stretching for tens of thousands of miles, his nose couldn’t help but tingle, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.
This was the place where he had lived for sixteen years, it was his home!
Thinking back, it had been nearly ten years since he had left One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains!
But remembering how he used to go into the mountains to gather herbs with his grandfather, fight off various fierce beasts, recite the properties of various herbs in Jiang village, and watch Jiang Yuerou and others practice cultivation…
These memories were vivid in his mind, as if they had happened just yesterday.
Now, he had finally returned.
Just the thought of seeing his grandfather, seeing Yuerou, seeing the many relatives in Jiang village, filled Jiang Yun with excitement tinged with a bit of nervousness.
However, he was more worried.
Along the way, Jiang Yun used his body techniques to the fullest but never saw Xue Ranyi’s shadow.
Obviously, as a strong warrior of the Earth Protection Realm, Xue Ranyi was much faster than himself, so he probably had already entered the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains.
Luckily, Jiang Yun knew that the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains were very large, with dense forests on the mountains, and Jiang village was located near the middle of the Mang Mountains.
Plus, there were many villages inside, so unless he was specifically looking for it, Xue Ranyi probably hadn’t found Jiang village yet.
"Grandpa, Little Yun is back!"
Reciting this sentence silently in his heart, Jiang Yun’s figure suddenly accelerated again, like a flash of lightning, about to rush into the Mang Mountains.
However, at that moment, Jiang Yun’s heart skipped a beat, a strong sense of danger suddenly rising from within, causing him to instinctively flash to the side.
"*Boom!*"
With a loud bang, a crimson whirlwind suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Yun and quickly spread at a terrifying speed.
Even though Jiang Yun reacted very quickly, he was still surrounded by a whirlpool.
As the whirlpool spun madly, it not only produced strong tearing forces, but also carried a strong smell of blood that filled Jiang Yun’s nostrils.
Even within the whirlpool, it was clear to see white bones swirling around, forming eerie shapes that moved towards Jiang Yun.
Though trapped in the bloody whirlpool, Jiang Yun’s heart temporarily calmed down.
Because he knew that the person behind this bloody whirlpool must be Xue Ranyi, the Supreme Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, a powerful Earth Protection Realm expert.
It was only then that Jiang Yun suddenly realized.
He had been too concerned about the safety of the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains, focused only on rushing back quickly, neglecting the most basic thing.
Jin Yifei and Xue Ranyi, who had been following him all along, must have been in contact secretly, so even though Xue Ranyi had arrived at the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains early, he did not enter but instead waited to ambush him on purpose!
Years ago, Xue Ranyi was nearly killed by Jiang Yun and Xue Mucheng’s move, the Snow Dance Funeral, so he harbored deep hatred towards Jiang Yun.
Rather be late to subdue the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains than to kill oneself first.
But this way, at least Jiang village must be safe now.
Feeling relieved, Jiang Yun unleashed all of his power at the seventh level of the Sky Reaching Realm, gathering a dark aura around him, forming The Palm of Chaos, and fiercely slamming it towards the blood-red vortex.
Even though Jiang Yun’s strength had greatly improved, when facing Xue Ranyi, he dared not underestimate him.
At the same time, the Against-Demon Bridge appeared in his hand.
Hearing Jin Yifei’s taunting voice behind him, "Jiang Yun, I heard you can run fast! Let’s see how far you can run now!"
Facing these two opponents, Jiang Yun found it difficult to cope with the challenge alone.
Especially since returning to the Seeking-Tao Sect, he hadn’t rested for even a moment.
Single-handedly annihilating the Ghostly Samsara Hell within the Seeking-Tao Sect.
These days, he was rushing on the road with all his might. Although he wasn’t completely exhausted, there was still a strong feeling of death surrounding him, preventing him from using his vitality as a sacrifice anymore.
Without the blessed Power of the Heavens, he wouldn’t be able to defeat even Jin Yifei with his own strength, let alone facing someone stronger like Xue Ranyi.
Therefore, he had to try using the Against-Demon Bridge to temporarily seal Jin Yifei before figuring out how to deal with Xue Ranyi.
Even though Jiang Yun had almost no chance of winning, he decided to dash into the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains if necessary.
Regardless, he was familiar with the terrain of the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains and hoped to outmaneuver Xue Ranyi using his knowledge of the land.
Given some time to recover his vitality and ability, he could once again use the Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens to stand against Xue Ranyi.
"*Boom!*"
The clash between the Palm of Chaos and the blood whirlpool created a deafening explosion, causing both to burst open and freeing Jiang Yun from his entrapment.
However, the force of the explosion also inflicted some minor injuries on Jiang Yun.
"Huh!"
Up in the sky, there came a surprised "huh", obviously from Xue Ranyi.
Surprisingly, after not seeing each other for a few years, Jiang Yun’s skills had improved a lot compared to before. He managed to break through his own blood vortex.
However, Jiang Yun paid no attention to Xue Ranyi at all. While getting free, he coughed up blood and a strong demonic aura emerged. He swung the "Against-Demon Bridge" and swiftly drew the "Evil Suppression Seal" in the air.
Meanwhile, Jin Yifei shouted, "Elder Blood, stop him quick!"
Although Jin Yifei didn’t know about the "Evil Suppression Seal", he had witnessed Jiang Yun temporarily sealing three Tao Spiritual Realm cultivators this way at the Seeking-Tao Sect. So, he could tell that Jiang Yun’s intention was to seal himself now.
"Hmph!"
Xue Ranyi snorted, and a great force descended from the sky. The blood that had not been completely turned into a seal by the "Against-Demon Bridge" from Jiang Yun’s mouth rushed forward.
"Using blood in front of me, you’re truly seeking death!"
Finally, in front of Jiang Yun appeared an old man wearing a crimson robe, with bloodthirsty eyes staring fiercely at Jiang Yun, sticking out his red tongue to lick his lips.
"It’s been a long time since I tasted human blood, I didn’t expect your blood to be so delicious. I can feast on it this time."
The drawing of the Evil Suppression Seal was interrupted, making Jiang Yun’s heart sink, and behind him, Jin Yifei’s figure also appeared.
With Xue Ranyi in front and Jin Yifei behind, Jiang Yun realized he was truly in a desperate situation.
Jin Yifei sneered, "Jiang Yun, why don’t you run again? It would be best if you ran back home, so we don’t have to come looking for you."
Jin Yifei’s words made Jiang Yun’s eyes fill with anger, showing determination.
Jiang Yun suddenly clasped his hands, slapped heavily towards the sky, and uttered in a low voice, "First sacrifice to the heavens!"
"Second sacrifice to the heavens!"
"Third sacrifice to the heavens!"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yun’s body shriveled up very quickly.
Even though he shouldn’t use the powerful magic anymore, Jin Yifei’s words made him think of Jiang village.
If he didn’t stop the two people in front of him from entering One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains, Jiang village would be in great danger.
Only with the Power of the Heavens, could he possibly fight against Xue Ranyi and the others.
Since life force couldn’t be used as an offering, Jiang Yun chose to sacrifice his own body.
This action could enhance his power, but it might also lead to his downfall.
However, Jiang Yun couldn’t care less at that moment!
