Chapter 68: You're Too Outstanding!

  Two dark shadows were fumbling in the forest, who were Qin Yu and Lu Jianfeng. Originally, Lu Jianfeng was already displeased with Xiao Yun, and now with Qin Yu's incitement, Lu Jianfeng had made up his mind to take advantage of the Sheng Ji training opportunity to get rid of Xiao Yun.

  Xiao Yun's rapid rise to power made Lu Jianfeng feel threatened and suppressed. As someone who had always considered himself superior and was doted on by his seniors in the sect, he found it hard to accept being surpassed by another man. What was even harder for him to accept was that Xu Wanjun, who had always been cold towards him, showed unusual enthusiasm in front of Xiao Yun.

  Jealousy is a terrible force, to the extent that it can drive people crazy. Lu Jianfeng is now being driven by such a force, he cannot tolerate anyone stealing his thunder. It's hard to imagine what his world would be like if Xiao Yun came out of Sheng Ji intact. He has a habit of eliminating all threats in their infancy.

  It was precisely because of this that he would conspire with Qin Yu, find a specious reason to leave the team, and then secretly follow, waiting for an opportunity to strike and get rid of Xiao Yun.

  Sheng Ji is undoubtedly an excellent place to settle private grudges. Killing Xiao Yun here, no one would suspect them.

  What they didn't expect was that when they caught up with Xu Wanjun and the others, Xiao Yun had also left the team. This made it even more convenient for them to take action. Moreover, Xiao Yun seemed to be afraid that they couldn't find him, and he actually dared to practice his skills in the dangerous Sacred Mark.

  "Master brother, there's a fire over there!" Qin Yu suddenly pointed forward and said.

  Through the gaps in the leaves, a faint, flickering flame could be seen in the distance ahead. Lu Jian Feng had already discovered it and was stealthily making his way towards the firelight.

  ——

  "Nobody!"

  As I walked into the cave, there was only a crackling pile of earth burning, and with a glance around, except for some stones and weeds in the small cave, not even half a person's shadow could be seen.

  "It should be just leaving!" Qin Yu said, looking at the fire heap that should have been burning for a short time, and people should not be far away. They had just followed the sound of the piano to come here, and this person who lit the fire was absolutely no doubt Xiao Yun.

  "Not good!"

  Lu Jianfeng's heart skipped a beat, the fire was burning so fiercely, how could someone leave, they must have discovered them, if they weren't scared away, then they were definitely hiding somewhere to prepare for a sneak attack.

  At this thought, Lu Jianfeng suddenly turned around and wanted to leave the cave.

  "Shall I add some fire for you two?"

  Lu Jianfeng had just turned around when he heard a familiar voice. A man in green clothes was standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at them with a playful expression on his face, and holding a music sheet in his hand!

  "Xiao...... ah......"

  Qin Yu hadn't even had a chance to shout out a single word, but Xiao Yun didn't waste any words with them. He activated the 4th-stage Rhythm Symbol in his hand and threw it straight into the air.

  Suddenly, flames filled the sky and rushed straight at the two of them!

  "Xiao Yun, you're quite bold!"

  Lu Jianfeng let out a furious roar and was about to rush forward to capture Xiao Yun, but he was forced back by the flames of the "Burning Heart" that filled the sky.

  Xiao Yun burst out laughing, and the Jiu Xiao Qin appeared in his hand. As he floated back from the cave, he exerted all his strength to play "Wo Long Yin". With a surge of heroic spirit, his fingers struck the strings with force.

  "Ahhhroo!"

  A thunderous roar, the long dragon's shadow was exceptionally eye-catching in the night sky, furiously bellowing, with a ferocious face, it pounced towards that cave entrance.

  "Boom!"

  A loud crash, the dragon crashed into the cave entrance and exploded violently. The intense tremors caused the mountain cave to collapse instantly. A large boulder fell down, sealing the entrance tightly. Dust filled the air, trapping Lu Jianfeng and Qin Yu inside the cave.

  "With just the two of you, thinking of killing me, seems a bit too tender, I won't play with you guys anymore, good luck to you!"

  Xiao Yun let out a cold laugh and, without stopping, directly activated his War Song and turned to leave. In just a few leaps, his figure quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

  "Boom!"

  Rubble splashed, and the two burst out of the cave, covered in dust and dirt. After being ambushed by Xiao Yun, the two, who were completely unguarded, had multiple burns on their bodies from the flames, and they didn't have any of their usual elegance.

  "Xiao Yun, I want you dead!"

  Lu Jianfeng let out a loud roar towards the sky, his anger surging with the sound and shooting straight up into the clouds. In the quiet forest, a group of birds were startled by the noise. His dark face twisted in rage, his features contorted in a terrifying way, like an evil spirit. Two masters of the music realm had actually been ambushed by a mere music apprentice - this was simply a great humiliation.

  "Pursue!"

  After roaring, Lu Jianfeng let out a loud roar. At the moment when he finally escaped, he caught the last glimpse of Xiao Yun's disappearance and knew which direction Xiao Yun was running in. He immediately took Qin Yu and chased after him.

  ——

  "Geez, these two guys are really lucky, they still didn't die after this!"

  Xiao Yun ran wildly, feeling someone chasing behind him. He turned his head to see that the two had already caught up, and the cave-in hadn't even killed them. Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and his feet moved even faster.

  On a desolate slope, Xiao Yun stopped in his tracks, having just unleashed the Sleeping Dragon's Hum. The exertion had cost him dearly; if he continued to flee like this, his vital energy would be depleted, leaving him defenseless against their pursuit. His opponents were two musicians, and Lu Jianfeng was an intermediate musician with exceptional skills, making him a formidable foe. If Xiao Yun relied on the musical notes stored in his mind, perhaps he still had a chance of winning.

  ——

  "Why aren't you running anymore? Keep running!"

  Chasing down the slope, looking at Xiao Yun standing at the top of the slope, Qin Yu's face was ferocious.

  "Huh? Who am I supposed to be? Oh, it's actually Lu Shixiong and Qin Shixiong. How did you two end up looking like this?" Xiao Yun feigned surprise, pretending to glance at the two of them in the dim light, their faces covered in dust and dirt, while her words were laced with mockery and ridicule.

  The two of them heard this and were overwhelmed with shame and anger. Lu Jianfeng raised his head, looking at Xiao Yun, "Xiao Yun, you can't escape today, just accept your death obediently!"

  "Lu Shixiong, you and I have no grudges or grievances, neither in the past nor recently. Why are you following this Qin person to harm me?" Xiao Yun asked Lu Jianfeng.

  Lu Jianfeng gritted his teeth, a hint of venom flashing in his eyes. "Why? Hmph, it's only because you're too excellent. You can create heavenly music at the Le Yu boundary, and make a name for yourself in the Tian Yin sect. That's unbearable. I absolutely won't tolerate any threats by my side."

  "Excellent?"

  Xiao Yun felt a bit relieved, it seemed that Mu Tian'en was right, being too sharp would indeed bring trouble. But composing a heavenly melody had made Lu Jianfeng harbor murderous intentions towards him. However, was he really that excellent? He was clearly just a useless person with no musical talent, what threat could he pose to Lu Jianfeng? This was truly an unprovoked disaster.

  "Kid, whatever you say now is useless. Last time I was careless and couldn't kill you, but today you won't be so lucky." Qin Yu sneered with a smile, directly taking out his sword to finish off Xiao Yun.

  Lu Jianfeng raised his hand to stop Qin Yu, as if he still had something to say. Qin Yu was taken aback and hastily said, "Big Brother Master, don't waste your breath on him. This kid is too cunning, let's just kill him quickly before things get complicated."

  "Don't worry, he can't escape!" Lu Jianfeng's tone was filled with absolute confidence. He raised his head to look at Xiao Yun and ordered in a commanding tone, "Hand over the 'Hao Qi Jue' and the body technique battle song you used. I can spare your life!"

  "Hah!"

  Is this what they call murder for treasure? Xiao Yun laughed, "There are many sacred and divine melodies in the Holy Trace, how can my two songs enter your eyes?"

  "Hmph, stop wasting words with me!" Lu Jianfeng let out a cold hum, his face revealing murderous intent, "Believe it or not, I can kill you right now!"

  "You're so confident?" Xiao Yun said calmly, already quietly pressing a musical note in her hand.

  Lu Jianfeng looked at Xiao Yun with disdain, "I'll kill you, and I won't even need a second move!"

  "Oh? Since you're so confident, the score is in my storage bag. Come and get it if you can!" Xiao Yun wasn't one to be trifled with either. Being forced to this point, he naturally wanted to fight back, directly sending the music notes flying towards Lu Qin's head.

  "Watch out, this kid's got rhythm!"

  Having had the experience of Bo Ya Shan's back mountain, Qin Yu was already on guard against Xiao Yun's move. As soon as he saw Xiao Yun throw out the music note, he immediately let out a loud shout and dodged to one side.
