"Yaoyao, use poison gas?" Xiaocao sensed Lin Yao's anger and didn't bother arguing with him. She just needed to cooperate with his revenge.
"Hmm." Lin Yao held his breath and only managed a nasal sound in response. The pursuit mainly relied on Xiao Cao, and he was quite idle at the moment. The anger that had been building up during the journey intensified, and nothing distracted him; he was focused solely on killing.
The tendrils of the grass changed drastically, and Lin Yao was unable to use his senses to attach to them and investigate. When he realized that his body had suddenly stopped, he noticed the three men lying on the ground.
The three men, dressed in black, were clearly members of the Jiang family who had participated in the ambush. Two were middle-aged and one was young, and all were lying unconscious on the ground with their eyes closed. Judging from their posture, they had been attacked by the poisonous gas from the grass during their advance, and were all in a prone position.
Focus your power and attack!
Lin Yao used the true qi of the "Yi Jin Jue" because only the Yi family's techniques could give him strong offensive power.
With a swift chop, the hand imbued with the Yi family's true energy was like a sharp steel blade, severing the black-clad man's neck. Blood gushed out, barely visible in the darkness, but Lin Yao's keen senses allowed him to notice the scene.
With a thud, the head detached from the neck of the man in black kneeling on a clump of bushes, rolled a few times after hitting the ground, and was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
Lin Yao showed no reluctance or cruelty, leaping towards another man in black and beheading him as well.
In seven seconds, three vibrant lives vanished under Lin Yao's palm.
"Little Grass, keep going." A cold voice rang out. Without saying a word, Little Grass continued to lift up with Lin Yaoteng and chase after the next ambush attacker.
Although the Jiang family members who participated in the ambush varied in individual abilities, their escape speed in the forest at night was not significantly different. Now that the first batch of ambushers had been found, the others were nearby and were all discovered by Xiaocao. However, she did not tell Lin Yao, but instead used her actions to lead Lin Yao to the unconscious men in black, allowing him to vent his frustrations.
In less than ten minutes, Lin Yao personally dealt with sixteen ambushers, and was then taken by Xiao Cao to the scene where the fighting had been heard earlier.
There were six people at the scene of the fight. Lin Yao immediately recognized two Yi family elders and four Jiang family members among them, including the most familiar Yi An.
Yi Dao and Yi Gong, two experts at their peak and top levels respectively, were assigned by Elder Yi Potian to Chengdu to be in charge of security and did not participate in this revenge operation. Therefore, Yi An was already the second most powerful expert among this group after Elder Yi Potian. It is likely that Yi Potian arranged for him to be in charge of the pursuit on the other side of the mountain stream, in order to try to kill as many Jiang family members as possible.
The top-tier Heavenly Realm experts were not very effective in the jungle at night because the enemy outnumbered them by a factor of two, and the Jiang family directly used firearms, crossbows, and poison gas.
Although the fighting was intense, there were no direct confrontations. The Jiang family relied solely on the terrain and environment to maneuver and ambush, employing bullets, hidden weapons, and poisons one by one. This caused Yi An, who was not afraid of firearms and ordinary hidden weapons, to frequently miss opportunities. He had to be wary of the Jiang family's poison needles, a type of hidden weapon similar to "Rain of Pear Blossom Needles," which was extremely poisonous and powerful, even capable of penetrating the defenses of an unprepared top-level Heavenly Realm expert. Although he had not yet seen such poison needles, he could not afford to be careless.
"Yaoyao..." Xiaocao's voice rang out, with a questioning tone.
"Help Yi'an and the others end the battle immediately and get to the Jiang family to take revenge." Lin Yao's face was contorted with rage, but no one could see it in the darkness.
The thuds sounded almost simultaneously. Yi An suddenly realized that he had lost the enemy. Upon closer inspection, he found that the enemy who had been shooting and running away from him at a distance of seven or eight meters was now lying on the ground. The mid-level Earth-rank ambush attacker who had previously shown high attack power was now lying motionless on the ground.
"What happened? Is it a trick?" Yi An hesitated for a moment, then increased his protective aura. Just as he was about to rush forward, a figure flashed by and startled him. He stopped and took a defensive stance because he hadn't noticed anyone approaching. This was clearly not his companion to his left rear.
With a thud, in the dim moonlight, Yi An saw the ambush attacker's head detach from his shoulder, truly becoming a headless corpse. The man in black immediately rushed into the woods, followed by several more thuds, much like the sounds of heads falling to the ground.
"Let's go, there's no one ahead, let's meet up with the Grand Elder."
A voice that Yi An recognized immediately rang out—it was Mr.! He was certain it was Mr.
But when Yi An noticed that this person, who was exactly the same as Lin Yao in both figure and voice, suddenly took to the air and disappeared into the depths of the forest in an instant, he hesitated, doubted, and questioned the voice and figure he had just heard and seen.
Is this really Master? How could he possibly fly? Could Master also be a Heavenly-level expert?

They flew directly across the mountain stream and arrived at another hillside. The situation here was much better than the other one. The Jiang family ambushers, who had fled at roughly the same speed through the jungle, left six remnants for Lin Yao and Xiao Cao to kill, while the remaining fourteen were dealt with by the Grand Elder Yi Potian.
Although Elder Yi Potian was not as fast as Lin Yao in flying through the jungle, his rich combat experience and familiarity with the jungle allowed him to kill most of the ambushers while half-flying and half-running.
Although the Jiang family's hidden weapons were famous throughout the world, they were completely ineffective against Heaven-level experts. In contrast to Yi An's timidity, the Grand Elder Yi Potian rushed over directly to kill them. No one who was ambushed by him survived.
For this reason, the Jiang family ambushers began to scatter and flee, and even began to hide. They knew that they could not escape in front of a Heaven-level expert. Escape was impossible, and returning to headquarters was obviously a pipe dream. They could only hide and hope to escape this calamity.
The last group of five, along with another ambush fighter, managed to evade Elder Yi Potian's attack by hiding separately. However, they unexpectedly encountered Xiao Cao, the world's best scout. Lin Yao and Xiao Cao found and killed them one by one. It can only be said that their luck was extremely bad. It was already remarkable that they escaped the pursuit of a Heaven-level expert, but they ran into the even more monstrous Xiao Cao. Thus, their deaths became a foregone conclusion.
"Sir." Elder Yi Potian stood in front of Lin Yao, bowed respectfully, and had a very respectful expression.
After jumping out of the car window, he noticed that forty rockets had attacked four buses. In a moment of great horror, he saw that the cars behind had stopped. With his eyesight, he could tell that all the Yi family members had evacuated from the buses before the rockets arrived. Of course, he only saw the two cars behind. The third car was too far away and its body was obscured, but in the dim night, he also noticed that some members were escaping from both sides of the road.
This result pleased and excited him. Although he didn't know how Lin Yao's final roar reached the three cars behind, the result showed that it was this roar that saved the lives of many of his disciples and prevented the Yi family from being wiped out.
What happened next surprised him even more. The rocket in flight seemed to be affected by some mysterious force, and it clearly deviated. Moreover, it deviated as a whole, causing the rocket that should have flown towards the cars behind to hit the forests on both sides.
Of course, this did not include the first batch of rockets that hit the bus he was riding in. The bus was attacked by ten rockets, and the explosion terrified Yi Potian. Recalling the scene where everyone was still in the bus, he felt a wave of fear.
Without Lin Yao, the Yi family would have been finished this time.
The First Elder, drenched in cold sweat, finally received a report from the leading elders of each bus after the last batch of rockets exploded. Of the five Yi family members attacked by the explosions, two died instantly because they were too close to the blast. The remaining three were seriously injured.
This outcome was barely acceptable to Elder Yi Potian, who immediately issued an order to pursue and kill the enemy, and took the lead in rushing towards the nearest mountain forest.
Following the conventional thinking of "capture the leader first," the leader of the ambush would definitely be located closest to the first vehicle, since he might be chasing after Yi Potian, who was seriously injured after being attacked by rockets. Therefore, Yi Potian chose the mountain forest where the road was located, and let Yi An lead the remaining elders to chase after the ambush on the other side.
The Jiang family was cunning and would stop at nothing, but they were nowhere to be found by Jiang's Heavenly Realm cultivation. After more than half an hour of pursuit, the fourteen ambushers died at Jiang's hands.
Based on the number of twenty rockets fired from each side of the forest earlier, there are still six ambushers hiding in this forest. However, it is not the right time to pursue them, because Mr. Lin Yao has arrived in person and he must be responsible for Lin Yao's safety. These remaining six members of the Jiang family must be experts.
"I've dealt with the twenty ambushers over there, and six over here. How many did the Grand Elder kill?" Lin Yao's voice was cold and accusatory, a far cry from his usual polite and respectful tone.
