Wu Xiangming and the other Southern Mountains Sect cultivators walked at the front, followed by the girl in pink and Yan Fei at the back.
After walking for a while, Wu Xiangming frowned and suddenly stopped in his tracks, listening intently.
"Hmm?"
Wu Xiangming's expression changed as he whispered, "There's someone ahead, retreat!"
If it was just one or two people, Wu Xiangming would have nothing to fear. However, the footsteps ahead were messy and it was clear that there were many people rushing over.
Wu Xiangming did not dare to take the risk and wanted to retreat from this place before making further plans.
However, the crowd at the front of the tunnel was extremely fast. By the time Wu Xiangming finished his sentence, there were already many figures ahead. The gleam of their weapons was reflected continuously, emitting a chilling killing intent.
Without hesitation, the girl in pink retreated right away.
It was the same for Wu Xiangming and the other two.
However, Wu Xiangming and the other Southern Mountains Sect cultivators were at the front when they entered the tunnel. Now that they were retreating, the two of them were left behind.
"Fufufufu!"
A hoarse and sinister laughter sounded from behind the four of them.
When she heard that laughter, a cold glint flashed through the girl in pink's eyes – she had clearly recognized the person.
The sinister voice sounded once more, "Demoness Ji, to think that you would dare to get involved in this mess as well. You must be tired of living!"
The girl in pink's red lips parted slightly under her veil, as though she wanted to say something but held back.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of two sharp blades tearing through the air could be heard, heavy and extremely fast!
Wu Xiangming and the other two who were at the back did not dare to delay and turned around hurriedly, slashing with their swords.
Clang! Clang!
The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing could be heard and sparks flew in the darkness.
Wu Xiangming and the other two shuddered. Although they managed to block the two weapons, they still felt their arms go numb.
That slight delay allowed the few people at the front to close in. With ferocious expressions and killing intent in their eyes, they roared and lunged over.
"Yan 'er, leave first. I'll hold them back here. I won't let them catch up!"
Without turning back, Wu Xiangming shouted and stood in the middle of the tunnel with his junior brother, blocking the few people who were charging over.
"You must have a death wish!"
Harrumphing, Wu Xiangming flicked his wrist and his sword trembled, releasing a chilling sword qi. The tip of the sword quivered like a snake as it flickered and pierced forward!
A hint of panic flashed across the eyes of the person who was charging at Wu Xiangming. He clearly did not expect Wu Xiangming to have such a move up his sleeves. It was too late for him to dodge.
Puchi!
A bloody light flashed, and a bloody hole appeared in the man's chest. His eyes gradually dimmed.
Wu Xiangming kicked the man's corpse away and started fighting with the cultivators who were chasing after him.
Close combat was far more dangerous than sword wielding.
Because both sides were moving around in a small area, fighting speed against speed, there was practically not much time to react. The slightest bit of carelessness might cause one to be hit, or even be beheaded and die on the spot!
The two cultivators at the front were bare-handed. Coupled with the fact that they had underestimated their opponents, they were killed by Wu Xiangming and the other man after a single exchange.
Initially, Wu Xiangming thought that those two swords would at least stun the cultivators behind. However, he did not expect that the cultivators behind did not hesitate at all despite the deaths of the two people in front. They did not stop in their tracks and charged forward expressionlessly!
The coldness in their eyes caused Wu Xiangming's heart to skip a beat.
"Who are you guys?!"
Wu Xiangming asked loudly as he retreated.
"How dare you barge in without even knowing who we are? Seems like you guys have been bewitched by that demoness Ji. Fufufu, how foolish."
A cold laugh sounded from the crowd.
"We're disciples of Southern Mountains Sect, one of the five major sects. We don't know any demoness Ji. Everyone, it's best if you state your names so that we don't get along!" Wu Xiangming shouted once more.
"Get along?"
Someone scoffed, "What bullsh * t five major sects? How dare you be mentioned in the same breath as us fiend sects? Southern Mountains Sect isn't even fit to carry the shoes of Malevolent Earth Sect! "
They were truly from the fiend sects!
Wu Xiangming's heart skipped a beat.
Given his cultivation realm, he already vaguely knew some secrets of Tianhuang Mainland.
In Tianhuang Mainland, there were many fiend sects. However, they were led by seven major sects and were known as the seven fiend sects of the cultivation world!
The seven fiend sects were the top factions of Tianhuang Mainland.
Although Southern Mountains Sect was known as one of the five major sects, that was only within the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty which was merely a corner of Tianhuang Mainland!
In other words, any one of the seven fiend sects was a true colossus. Compared to them, Southern Mountains Sect was incomparably insignificant.
Although Wu Xiangming knew of the seven fiend sects, he did not know which ones they were.
At that moment, he only hoped that Malevolent Earth Sect was not one of the seven fiend sects.
"Shing!"
Right then, another Southern Mountains Sect cultivator was slightly slower and revealed an opening. His chest was slashed and fresh blood gushed out.
That cultivator was already running out of stamina. Coupled with the fact that he was severely injured, he staggered and another two bloody holes appeared on his body!
A gigantic head flew into the air.
Wu Xiangming's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Momentarily dazed, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
A long saber pierced through his body, stained with scarlet blood.
"Ah!"
Wu Xiangming was in so much pain that his body trembled. Widening his eyes, he forced his opponent back with a single slash and fell to the ground, breaking out in cold sweat.
The crowd dispersed and a black-robed cultivator with a malevolent expression strode over. He looked at Wu Xiangming and sneered, "You don't even know who Demoness Ji is. You deserve to die!"
Suddenly, a bone spear popped out from the black-robed cultivator's sleeves. It was pitch-black with 12 joints and carried a rich malevolent aura.
Waving the bone spear, the black-robed cultivator tapped it forward gently.
Poof!
Wu Xiangming's throat was pierced and a patch of black blood appeared on his initially pale face – it was a frightening sight!
That was a sign of malevolent aura entering his body!
In the cultivation world, there were many spirit weapons that were made of special materials. Even without injecting spirit energy and activating spirit patterns, they could release considerable power.
The bone spear in the hands of the black-robed cultivator was one of them.
"Demoness Ji, you won't be able to escape!"
The black-robed cultivator said coldly and led the way, speeding forward.
Although Wu Xiangming and Yan Fei were able to hold them back for a moment, it was still difficult for the girl in pink and Yan Fei to escape from the black-robed cultivator's line of sight.
The girl in pink and Yan Fei fled at the front while the black-robed cultivator led more than a hundred men in hot pursuit.
The exit was right in front of them. As long as they charged out, they would be able to return to the fork from before. However, the black-robed cultivator had already caught up!
The girl in pink frowned slightly.
All of a sudden!
Three cold flashes of light shone at the fork up ahead.
Immediately after, an extremely sharp beam surged over. The next moment, three black flashes brushed past the girl in pink and Yan Fei!
It was just a hair's breadth away!
If the three black flashes had deviated slightly, they would have pierced through the girl in pink and Yan Fei!
The girl in pink gasped and was so shocked that her heart nearly jumped out of her chest.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The girl in pink only heard the sound of sharp blades tearing through the air after the three black flashes streaked past them.
What a fast arrow!
