Swordholder

No wonder the way this world calculates things is exactly the same as in his previous life!

For example, the word "meter" is used to measure length, instead of "zhang" or "chi". Even the spoken language and written language are strikingly similar!

Chen Yuan was completely dumbfounded!

Could it be that the person who was dug out from the ruins of gods and demons three thousand years ago, like him and Li Wei, came from Earth?

Just like him and Li Wei, the reason he woke up a year earlier than Li Wei was because... he was dug out ahead of time?

As Chen Yuan's thoughts raced and his mind was in turmoil, the battle in the arena continued fiercely.

As all the Wuxiang warriors transformed into ferocious beasts, the destructive power of the battle became increasingly astonishing.

"Rumble..."

Countless towering trees were snapped in half, turning into countless fragments, and the ground was riddled with craters and left in a state of utter devastation!

To the astonishment of Chen Yuan, Chen Zhaoning, and even Mo Hong, Lu Chengfeng's combat strength was far greater than they had imagined!

He single-handedly tore those ferocious beasts to pieces!

"He possesses at least the combat strength of a Great Perfection of the Yellow Court Realm!"

Chen Zhaoning regained her composure, looked at Lu Chengfeng, who resembled a ferocious humanoid beast, and spoke with a face full of shock.

Mo Hong's pupils shrank sharply, his heart filled with utter shock!

In a short while, Lu Chengfeng had killed all the ferocious beasts!

Even the yamen runners of Wuqiao Town and the guards of the Wang family were all killed.

"What...where did this monster come from?"

Mo Hong felt a strong urge to retreat and was about to turn around and retreat into the woods when he was suddenly enveloped in darkness!

The next instant, two hands as hard as steel gripped his shoulders tightly.

"Ugh..."

Lu Chengfeng's face was still covered by his long hair, and a low, hoarse roar came from the gaps in his hair, which made Mo Hong's soul tremble.

"Your...Your Excellency...I am..."

Mo Hong trembled all over, and before he could finish speaking, everything went black before his eyes!

Hiss!

Lu Chengfeng exerted force with both hands, tearing Mo Hong's body in two!

Mo Hong's words came to an abrupt end.

Upon witnessing this bloody and horrific scene, Chen Yuan and Chen Zhaoning's eyes widened, and their breaths instantly froze.

The scene was littered with severed limbs and pieces of flesh, a horrifying sight.

Only that tall, imposing figure, dressed in hemp clothing, still stood majestically amidst the pool of blood.

"Ugh!!!"

The tall figure let out a deep roar, like a starving beast searching for prey.

Suddenly, he slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on the direction where Chen Yuan was!

Chen Yuan and Chen Zhaoning's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinholes!

A chill ran through his body, as if he were being targeted by a ferocious beast or wolf, and even his blood seemed to freeze.

Swish!

In the reflection of their pupils, the tall figure instantly became blurry, rapidly approaching them, its size increasing rapidly in their field of vision!

"not good!"

Chen Yuan cried out in alarm, trying to dodge to the side, but the other party was too fast. A large hand instantly grabbed his neck and lifted him high into the air.

A strong feeling of suffocation instantly swept over his body. Chen Yuan felt his vision go black and his consciousness gradually blurred, as if he was about to fall into eternal darkness.

"Father!"

An anxious shout rang in his ears, as if from a distant horizon, filled with sobs and anxiety, instantly rousing a sliver of Chen Yuan's consciousness.

boom!

The next second, Chen Yuan fell heavily to the ground, panting heavily and greedily inhaling the fresh air.

The tall figure in front of them had stopped all movement and was staring blankly at Nuomi on the horse's back.

"Father!"

Nuomi cried out again, her big eyes brimming with tears, choking back sobs, "He's Brother Ayuan, your apprentice, and Nuomi's brother too! Please don't hurt him!"

Lu Chengfeng's beast-like roar gradually subsided, and the scarlet light emanating from his body quickly dissipated.

"Chen...A-Yuan?"

His hoarse voice rang out, tinged with a hint of bewilderment.

"Yes, Father, he is Brother A-Yuan!"

Nuomi nodded vigorously, her voice trembling with tears, which streamed down her face.

"Oh……"

Lu Chengfeng responded softly, then fell silent and made no further movements, as if he were in a daze, or as if he was trying his best to digest Nuomi's words.

"Quickly... mount the horse!"

At this moment, Chen Zhaoning, who was on horseback, was holding Nuomi. She moved forward a little, reached out her hand to Chen Yuan, and said anxiously.

After recovering, Chen Yuan glanced at Lu Chengfeng, who was still surrounded by a murderous aura, and felt that it would be safer to mount a horse.

He reached out and grabbed the hand Chen Zhaoning offered, using it as leverage to leap onto the horse's back, landing behind Chen Zhaoning.

Chen Zhaoning then realized the difference between men and women, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

She glared at Chen Yuan, but didn't say anything more... At this point, she couldn't afford to worry about such trivial matters.

She took a deep breath, gripped the reins tightly, and gave a slight jerk, causing the horse to take two steps back.

This is a tall, black horse with eyes that gleam with a faint red light; one look and you know it is no ordinary horse.

Even so, this dark horse regarded Lu Chengfeng as if it had encountered an unparalleled ferocious beast.

It lowered its head, snorting incessantly, revealing its fear.

"Nuomi, tell your father we're going back first."

Chen Zhaoning glanced at the bloody scene around them, then leaned close to Nuomi's ear and whispered something.

"Um."

Nuomi nodded slightly, looked at the still dazed Lu Chengfeng, and shouted loudly, "Daddy, we're going back, back to the cave we used to go to. Remember to keep up!"

As if awakened, Lu Chengfeng slowly raised his head and looked at Nuomi.

"Walk!"

Chen Zhaoning gave a low shout and gently squeezed the horse's belly with his legs.

Howling!

As if granted a pardon, the black horse neighed and immediately galloped off towards the distant mountains and forests.

Nuomi turned around, looked at Lu Chengfeng who was still standing in the same spot, and shouted loudly:

"Father, hurry up, come quick!"

Lu Chengfeng, who was in the distance, seemed to finally realize what was happening, and took a step forward to follow.

His speed seemed slow, but he always stayed about 20 or 30 meters behind the dark horse, neither too close nor too far, and could never be shaken off.

The black horse was so frightened that it kept snorting and ran faster and faster, but no matter how fast it sped up, it could never shake off Lu Chengfeng behind it.

What would normally be a journey of more than an hour was completed in less than half an hour, and they returned to the cave where they had rested the previous night.

------

"Ah, that's great, you're finally back!"

At the entrance of the cave, Li Wei paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. Upon seeing them return, he immediately rushed forward excitedly.

"Ah Yuan, Sister Ning, are you alright?"

Li Wei quickly stepped forward, carefully examining Chen Yuan and Chen Zhaoning. Then, seeing Nuomi nestled in Chen Zhaoning's arms, he immediately reached out and picked her up, saying joyfully...

"Haha, great! Little Nuomi, you've been found too!"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Chen Yuan and Chen Zhaoning, who were riding together on the same horse, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. He teased them, saying:

"Oh, you two are reluctant to get off? How about we ride around one more time, cuddling and enjoying some more time together?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaoning's cheeks flushed instantly. She glared at Li Wei and immediately jumped off her horse.
