The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 42 The Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince Attack

Yin Wuji was, after all, just an elder in charge of the Ziyang Sect, with Elder Chihuo above him.

Elder Chi Huo's high regard for Lu Xuan during this trial is now common knowledge.

If he really killed Lu Xuan during the trial, wouldn't that be a blatant slap in the face to Elder Chi Huo?

If things come to light then, he'll be in deep trouble.

"Consider this slap today a lesson for you."

"From now on, you'd better keep a low profile!"

After uttering these harsh words, Yin Wuji did not linger any longer. With a flash, he transformed into a black light and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

His current headache is how to explain all this to the Lin family.

After all, they took the money but messed things up.

Lu Xuan's eyes were icy cold.

"Yin Wuji..."

"I'll remember this strike."

"There's plenty of time; we'll figure it out slowly!"

Lu Xuan's tense nerves only relaxed slightly after Yin Wuji's figure completely disappeared on the horizon.

"call……"

He exhaled a breath of stale air, then swayed a few times, almost losing his balance.

He had just taken a blow that caused him considerable injury; it felt as if his internal organs had shifted.

"Fortunately, this old dog was mindful of Elder Chi Huo and didn't dare to continue his deadly attack on me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have had to use some of my trump cards today."

Lu Xuan's face was extremely gloomy.

He took out an exquisite jade bottle from his storage bag, poured out several fragrant healing pills, and swallowed them all at once.

The elixir immediately transformed into a warm medicinal power, circulating throughout his body and beginning to repair his damaged meridians and internal organs.

Then Lu Xuan sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the Chaos Devouring Heaven Scripture to guide the medicinal power to heal his injuries.

"We need to get back in shape as soon as possible, otherwise if we encounter a group of people like this again, we'll have to fight them to the death."

Even if Lu Xuan has many tricks up his sleeve, his cultivation level is too low now. If he rashly uses those powerful trump cards, it will definitely cause him great damage.

Therefore, it's better not to use it if possible.

……

Meanwhile, in another part of the Demon Hunter Forest.

"roar!"

A massive wind demon wolf let out a mournful howl before its enormous body crashed to the ground.

On his neck, a deep wound that exposed bone was gushing blood.

Crown Prince Lu Heng stood panting beside the wolf carcass, holding a long sword, his body already covered in blood and dirt.

"Phew... finally dead!"

Lu Heng wiped the blood from his face, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

This Wind Demon Wolf is a fifth-level Spirit Sea Realm demon beast, extremely fast and very difficult to deal with.

He exerted tremendous effort and even used several life-saving talismans to finally kill him.

After splitting open the wolf's head and taking out a cyan demon core, Lu Heng finally revealed a smile.

"The first one."

Although Elder Chi Huo only required each person to kill one Spirit Sea Realm demon beast, as the Crown Prince, Lu Heng was well aware of the Zi Yang Sect's unspoken rules.

In previous years, the number and quality of monsters killed during the trials often determined one's treatment and level of importance after entering the sect.

He not only wants to pass the trial, but also to crush everyone with an absolute advantage.

Especially that damned Lu Xuan!

"Lu Xuan..."

Upon hearing this name, the smile in Lu Heng's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by deep resentment.

"That good-for-nothing, now that he's entered this Demon Hunting Forest and lost his father's protection, let's see how long he can remain arrogant!"

Putting away the demon core, Lu Heng turned his gaze to the depths of the dense forest, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

"If we can find him and extract the secret of the Spirit Gathering Array from him, we can gain Elder Crimson Flame's favor..."

Having made up his mind, Lu Heng didn't linger any longer. He picked up his sword and headed towards the core area of ​​the Demon Hunting Forest.

He's going to find Lu Xuan!

……

And it was near a swamp dozens of miles away from Lu Heng.

The sixth prince, Lu Ming, was elegantly wiping the bloodstains from the edge of the folding fan in his hand.

Beneath his feet, a crocodile-like demonic beast from the Spirit Sea Realm had been severed in two, its death extremely gruesome.

Compared to the Crown Prince's disheveled state, Lu Ming appeared much more composed.

He could kill demonic beasts of a higher level than himself without getting his white clothes stained with blood, and even though he was a little out of breath, he still maintained his dashing and debonair demeanor.

"Even the demonic beasts of the Spirit Sea Realm are nothing special."

Lu Ming chuckled and put the demon core into his pocket.

Although he usually keeps a low profile, his cultivation level has actually reached the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, which is a step higher than that of the Crown Prince.

To conceal his true abilities, he has always claimed to be only at the first level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

"According to the rules of previous years, the more demon cores the better."

"but……"

"Compared to killing monsters, the third brother is the real trouble."

Lu Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"I originally thought he was just an insignificant pawn, but I never expected him to be a hidden dragon."

"If he really joins the Ziyang Sect and becomes Elder Chihuo's disciple, the struggle for the throne will likely become much more unpredictable."

Lu Ming is a smart man.

He's also a ruthless person.

He knew very well that threats had to be nipped in the bud.

"Now that the third brother is still weak, it's the perfect time to get rid of him."

In this Demon Hunting Forest, it's perfectly normal for someone to die.

"Even if my father investigates afterward, he won't be able to trace it back to me."

Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.

"Third brother, third brother, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being too prominent and blocking your brother's path."

Lu Ming put away his folding fan, and with a flash, he disappeared into the vast forest as a blur.

His target was also Lu Xuan!

The two brothers, though not living together, made the same choice at this moment.

……

Half an hour later.

Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air that smelled of blood.

After some time to regulate my breathing, and with the help of those healing pills, the injuries in my body have been suppressed to a great extent.

Lu Xuan stood up, stretched his stiff limbs, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Just then, his expression shifted slightly, and his gaze turned to the dense forest on his right.

"Shh, shh..."

A soft footstep sound came from behind.

Despite his best efforts to suppress it, Lu Xuan's keen divine sense still revealed it.

"Since you're here, come out."

Lu Xuan spoke softly, his voice echoing through the empty forest.

"Hiding your head and revealing your tail is not your usual style, Your Highness."

As the words fell, a figure emerged from the dense forest.

It really was Crown Prince Lu Heng.

He was dressed in rags, but that didn't stop him from showing a sinister smile, as if he was about to get his revenge.

"Lu Xuan, your senses are quite sharp."

Lu Heng, holding a long sword, approached step by step, his eyes fixed on Lu Xuan with a cold gaze.

"But so what if you find out?"

"This is the Demon Hunting Forest. Without Father's secret guards, no one can save you."

"Today, I will show you who the true master of the Great Yan is!"

Looking at the murderous Lu Heng, Lu Xuan smiled.

His smile was tinged with helplessness and contempt.
