Chapter 631: Chapter 631: The Final Blockade

After beheading the second Dao King Realm Peak Ancient Family elder, Jing Yan did not pause for a moment and immediately turned around to dodge.

"Boom!" Several terrifying light halos madly crushed toward Jing Yan.

"These old guys are really ruthless!" Jing Yan exerted all his strength to activate the Sky Wings to dodge, while also channeling his Pure Yang Spirit Body. In the blink of an eye, he was pushed hundreds of meters away by a vast force.

Those Ancient Family elders, with bloodshot eyes, crazily pounced toward Jing Yan, looking extremely ferocious.

After Jing Yan had successively killed two Ancient Family elders, they no longer cared about capturing Jing Yan alive. All they had in their minds was to kill Jing Yan.

"No chance now!"

"I had intended to kill a few more, but these old guys indeed have strong powers." Jing Yan licked his lips, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Let’s go!" Propelling the Sky Wings, Jing Yan transformed into a streak of flowing light, rapidly charging toward the distance.

Escaping with a strike was indeed the smart choice.

The Ancient Family elders who were not trapped by the formation also ferociously pursued him. However, they soon realized that Jing Yan’s speed was even faster than theirs. Just over a dozen breaths later, they could only see a faint shadow of Jing Yan. Even the Late Stage Dao King elders could not catch up to him.

"Damn it!"

"How can this brat be so fast?"

"Damn it... He... He killed two elders!"

"That damn beast, his power is so strong. Could it be that Elder Yin, who was with young master Gu Xinghe, really died at his hand?" A few elders, angry, stopped chasing and cursed as they returned the way they had come.

They quickly broke the Micro Arrays that Jing Yan had thrown out, working in coordination with the five people who were trapped.

"Fourth Elder, what should we do now?" An elder, looking at the two dead elders nearby, asked the Fourth Elder.

"What else can we do? Immediately report everything to the Clan Leader!" Fourth Elder said grimly.

This time, they had faced a big loss!

They had thought it would be easy to capture Jing Yan, but they hadn’t expected things to turn out like this. Jing Yan was not captured, and yet they had lost two elders.

"Fourth Elder, Jing Yan is very powerful, his movement speed is also extremely fast, and he has many Array Plates. I think it would be difficult to capture him if a Dao Emperor Realm Martial Artist does not take action," another elder said, frowning.

"Yes, report truthfully! Let’s go to East Lake County City!" Fourth Elder waved his hand.

Jing Yan propelled the Sky Wings with all his might and flew for half an hour before he finally breathed a sigh of relief and decreased his flying speed.

"It’s a pity I couldn’t get their Sumeru Rings," Jing Yan shook his head regretfully.

The situation was perilous at the time, and Jing Yan had no time to take the Sumeru Rings from the two dead Ancient Family elders.

His current power, when facing directly, was barely able to contend with a Late Stage Dao King Martial Artist. If it weren’t for the element of surprise and the speed boost from the Sky Wings, Jing Yan would not have had the chance to kill two Early Stage Dao King Ancient Family elders.

"However, managing to kill two members of the Ancient Family in the Early Stage Dao King Realm is not bad either!"

"The Ancient Family’s pursuit and attack on me could be considered as settling some scores! Even though the Ancient Family is powerful, the death of two Dao Kings must hurt them," Jing Yan narrowed his eyes.

Checking his direction, he began making even larger detours, completely circumventing the area of East Lake County City.

Time moved to six months later.

"This should be Arctic County, right?"

"Past Arctic County lies the Despair Abyss!" Jing Yan stood on the ground.

By this time业, Jing Yan’s skin had become much darker than before. However, he looked even more robust.

Over six months, Jing Yan encountered several pursuits by the Ancient Family people, but he always turned danger into safety. Moreover, Jing Yan also killed many members of the Ancient Family’s Daoist Realm. In addition to the two Dao King Realm members he killed the first time, three more died by his hand.

A total of five Ancient Family elders had died. One was a Middle Stage Dao King Realm, and the other four were Early Stage Dao King Realm.

However, once, Jing Yan encountered a member of the Ancient Family in the Dao Emperor Realm, which was extremely perilous. If it weren’t for Jing Yan’s fourth-level Sky Wings and a large amount of Array Plates, he would have probably died at the opponent’s hands. Relying on the fourth level of Sky Wings and numerous Array Plates, Jing Yan barely managed to escape.

After that, Jing Yan no longer flew but chose to travel on the ground.

On the ground, the chances of being discovered were much lower. Moreover, Jing Yan avoided entering any cities and just skimmed through mountains and forests, which allowed him to avoid the Ancient Family’s eyes to the greatest extent.

Finally, to Arctic County!

North of Arctic County lies the Despair Abyss. Entering the Despair Abyss diminishes the influence of the Ancient Family. Trying to intercept Jing Yan in the Despair Abyss would be very difficult. The Ancient Family probably understood this too, so they would not deploy people massively into the Despair Abyss.

"No, I must bypass Arctic County!"

"Currently, the Ancient Family must already know my intentions; they know I’m trying to enter the Despair Abyss. Thus, they have certainly set a trap at the border of Arctic County, waiting for me to enter. Likely, there won’t be just one Dao Emperor Realm Martial Artist," Jing Yan pondered silently.

"Yes, going around it, although it takes more time, is safer," Jing Yan’s eyes flashed, and he retreated from Arctic County, sprinting toward the west instead.

Arctic County City!

Gu Wanquan had arrived here from Flowing Light City a month earlier.

As Jing Yan continued northward, if the Gu Family people could not see that Jing Yan intended to enter the Despair Abyss, they would be fools. So, the Gu Family had long focused on Arctic County. Once Jing Yan tried to approach the Despair Abyss from Arctic County, it would be like walking into a trap.

"Ancestor!"

"According to the timing, that Jing Yan should have already entered Arctic County!" Gu Jinlan stood before Gu Wanquan.

"Yes, once we discover this brat’s whereabouts, tell me immediately!" Gu Wanquan responded indifferently.

Since they had been pursuing Jing Yan for over half a year, Gu Wanquan’s hatred towards Jing Yan naturally grew stronger, but on the surface, he had calmed down.

Meanwhile, across the Continent, the reputation of the Gu Family also plummeted significantly.

The Gu Family, as one of the Seven Great Families, had been chasing a young Martial Artist in his twenties for over half a year without success. Moreover, five Dao King Realm elders had died.

For the Gu Family, this was an utterly disgraceful humiliation!

Throughout the Continent, rumors about the Gu Family and Jing Yan circulated widely. Frequently, news would emerge that Jing Yan had been killed, but not long after, news that Jing Yan had reappeared and killed members of the Gu Family would follow.

It became a repetitive cycle, and the Gu Family had indeed become a joke. Even some weaker families or forces would occasionally mock the Gu Family in private.
