Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 75 Appearance (Part 2)

The cyan barrier appeared somewhat fragmented as Yan Huai entered, but it returned to normal in the next moment, as if it had created another space where everything disappeared.

The forest returned to its previous tranquility, as if no one had ever set foot there. But in reality, the Yan family's encirclement was still there, as was the phantom of the Azure Dragon and Yan Huai.

Inside the encirclement, the wind whipping against his face and body grew increasingly fierce. Yan Huai had just dodged one wind blade when another followed immediately, leaving him no chance to catch his breath. He was forced to move through it, and as more and more wind blades attacked, his movement trajectory drew ever closer to the center of the encirclement.

The wind picked up...

Yan Huai was alert. The wind blades that were originally glowing white suddenly seemed to be burning red. When they were reflected in his eyes, they seemed to be wrapped with a solid killing intent.

Yan Huai dared not be careless. Using the force of stepping on the wind blades, he leaped into the air. While dodging, he darted to the bottom of the Azure Dragon's phantom. The red-glowing wind blades changed direction as he moved, as if they were equipped with positioning and tracking devices.

Zheng——

A series of ear-piercing impacts rang out, and the seven Yan family members watching below looked closely—hmm? What is that in the hand of the family patriarch?

Buddhist prayer beads? And indestructible ones at that...

Yan Huai's lips curled up slightly as he moved the Buddhist prayer beads that were originally wrapped around his wrist to the base of his left hand's fingers. You know what, this thing is actually quite effective at blocking knives!

Seeing that Yan Huai was becoming more and more adept at dodging the wind blades, the seven members of the Yan family exchanged glances and gradually surrounded him.

At the same time, Yan Huai also noticed that the wind blades were coming faster and from a shorter distance. After all, as the encirclement narrowed, the wind blade attacks would only become more and more intense.

Yan Huai withdrew and landed back on the ground, and the wind blades followed closely behind, immediately turning around and flying towards him.

It seems that these wind blades were not caused by any mechanism or gossip, but were directly controlled by the Yan family.

"System, stick the Branding Blade on my back in a bit!" Although the Branding Blade can't appear out of thin air in front of someone, it doesn't say it can't be hidden in clothes, right?

"Okay, host!" The system instantly understood Yan Huai's meaning. It was ready at any moment. After Yan Huai subtly approached one of the Yan family members, it released the Branding Blade from the system space and tightly adhered it to the back of its host's shirt.

"Host, it's applied!" came the system's forceful voice.

Yan Huai's lips twitched. As another wind blade attacked from behind, he neither dodged nor evaded, but charged straight at the lucky one he had chosen. This move left the other six members of the Yan family dumbfounded—what was their patriarch up to?!

As Yan Huai moved and dodged, a dense barrage of wind blades slammed into his back, producing countless teeth-grinding impact sounds in that instant.

By the time the Yan family members came to their senses, one of their companions had already been knocked away.

Lacking control over one aspect, the wind blade stopped falling and vanished without a trace...

The clan leader ate iron?! And the formation is broken?!

The Yan family member who was knocked away fell unconscious in a daze. As for the other six, after they came to their senses, they quickly cut their palms with daggers, and blood dripped vertically, quickly forming a pool of blood at their feet.

The pools of blood connected instantly, and then a strange, lingering fragrance rose up. Yan Huai frowned and asked the system, which was still working hard, to shield his sense of smell. Then, he rushed towards the remaining members of the Yan family.

Just then, the illusory image of the Azure Dragon that had been hovering above everyone showed a change, as if it had been suddenly injected with life. Its golden vertical pupils flickered and instantly locked onto Yan Huai, who was moving rapidly, before swooping down.

As for the few members of the Yan family who were not affected, their lips moved as if they were chanting some kind of incantation, and their gazes toward Yan Huai became increasingly meaningful.

Their mission was to make the clan leader, who had not yet regained his memory, lose a single hair. But in reality, what they were doing was all aimed at making their clan leader lose an arm or a leg.

After all, we can't have come all this way for nothing!
