Dong Tianleng pursed his lips and said, "We have to be careful in dealing with this matter. I heard from my elders that it's complicated, including the battle of providence for the unification of the human realm. They told me not to get involved. If I act rashly, there will be the risk of death. "
"The battle of providence? The risk of death? "
Chun Wanfeng was deep in thought.
Far away, Yun Xiaoyao, who was watching the scene from the treetop dozens of miles away, felt his heart skip a beat.
This sentence … seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Could it be … this?
"Why isn't Xia Bingchuan here yet?" Dong Tianleng grew impatient. "We agreed to pay our respects to big brother and protect uncle. Why isn't this fellow here after so long? If we're talking about distance, he's the nearest one! "
Chun Wanfeng and Qiu Yunsan scolded as well.
The treetop.
Yun Xiaoyao suddenly felt a warmth that he had not felt for a long time, nourishing his almost parched heart.
I see.
I was wondering why these guys all came here at the same time.
"Hey, Chun Wanfeng, how's your cultivation base?" Dong Tianleng asked, "What level are you at?"
"Me? I'm already above the Supreme level! "Chun Wanfeng scoffed." What about you? "
"Me too," Dong Tianleng said.
"Me too, but I'm in the advanced stage, just a little faster than the both of you. Don't be envious of me," Qiu Yunsan said.
"Our cultivation base is almost at the peak of this world. We're only one step away from leaving Tianxuan and going to the upper realm." Dong Tianleng sighed. "Your father has been slacking during this period of time, lacking motivation … Sometimes, I even have the stupid thought of not wanting to go up … It's mainly because I don't dare to go up. I'm afraid that I'll fall from the pinnacle of this world to a weakling once I climb up."
Qiu Yunsan chuckled bitterly. "Me too … Thinking of all the hardships we've gone through to finally reach where we are today, to climb to the peak and look down on the world … If we really go up … I'm afraid we'll have to start from the bottom again. Everyone is stronger than us. It's not just irritating, it's terrifying."
Chun Wanfeng sighed. "That's right … With the resources that Boss left for us, we could have crossed the peak of this world and ascended to the Upper Realm a long time ago … In the end, it's all about fear."
The three of them were at a loss.
"You're really useless!"
"You're a good-for-nothing!"
"You two are so useless!"
They looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that their stomachs hurt.
Eldest Brother talked about Second Brother and Third Brother, and Second Brother talked about Eldest Brother and Third Brother. The three of them talked to each other and actually reflected each other!
The forty to fifty guards and experts from the three noble families who had come with the three brothers were all sighing as well. Indeed, ascending to the upper realm was no different from a myth to the people of this world. At least, it was only a legend before Yun Yang's ascension!
However, after Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi had ascended, this legend was no longer just a legend, especially to the three young masters who had been protecting them!
With the cultivation base and combat prowess of Dong Tianleng and the other two, there was no need for bodyguards. There was no one in this world who could lay a finger on them. Only a fight between these brothers could leave a trace of a mark.
However, one thing was still undeniable – as long as they ascended to the Upper Realm, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that they would have to start all over again.
Rumor had it that the Upper Realm was good in every aspect; one's lifespan would be greatly extended, and the path of martial arts would be wider and longer. However, on the other hand, the danger would be elevated to an unprecedented height.
In fact, other than the extremely fanatical martial arts fanatics, the others who had reached the level of Dong Tianleng and the others would basically hesitate. Were they really going to give up their current position of ascending to the pinnacle and overlooking the world, and go to the so-called Upper Realm to start all over again, from the very bottom?
This was a difficult decision for anyone to make!
Moreover, most of Dong Tianleng and the others' cultivation base had been achieved in a short period of time. Even though they had been tempered by many battles and had no regrets, there was still a considerable gap between their mental state and that of cultivators who had climbed up little by little through countless trials and tribulations!
In this world, I can summon the wind and summon the rain, I'm high and mighty. If I really went to the Upper Realm, I might just be killed by a random stranger in a few days' time.
In this world, no one dares to disrespect me or look up to me. However, when I reach the Upper Realm, I can only look up to others; perhaps I can't even compare to the guards.
Should I still go up?
At the very least, these guards had to ask themselves – would they go up if they had reached this stage?
As long as they thought about it, who would have the courage to look down on the three young masters for their lack of ambition?
Amidst the laughter …
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from afar.
Everyone fell silent, their eyes gleaming as they looked into the distance.
"Is that the sound of battle?"
Dong Tianleng sprung up and soared into the air, looking up.
At this time, another long howl came from afar. The volume of the sound was already very weak, but one could still hear that the voice was filled with rage and helplessness.
"This is … Xia Bingchuan's voice!" Qiu Yunsan's ears twitched.
The sounds of battle were endless. Dong Tianleng, who was still in the air, let out a long howl and flew over with a whoosh. "Xia Bingchuan, run this way!"
The shout was deafening like a clap of thunder.
Almost at the same time, another long howl came from the other side, but it was filled with indescribable joy. Then, the sounds of battle grew more intense, as if the enemy had noticed the arrival of reinforcements and began to attack with all their might, hoping to finish off the target before the reinforcements arrived.
Fifty to sixty people from the three families flew over like lightning under the lead of the third young master.
As Dong Tianleng and the other two young masters sprinted at full speed, they could not help but feel a sense of doubt. Their cultivation base had always been on the same level as Xia Bingchuan; there was not much of a difference between them as they were all the pinnacle experts of this world. Then, who and what force was attacking Xia Bingchuan? Yet, the other party actually possessed the ability to force Xia Bingchuan to his death. It was a marvelous sight indeed!
They could not afford to be careless in the upcoming battle!
Amidst the yellow sand that covered the sky and obscured their vision, two silhouettes could be seen stumbling out from afar. The one in front was Xia Bingchuan. His face was deathly pale, and his body was covered in blood. One of his arms was dangling, and the other was dragging an unconscious person. He was struggling to run towards them.
Amidst the smoke and dust behind him, a dark silhouette sprinted out like a demonic god descending into the world. With a chuckle, the silhouette leaped three hundred feet into the air and arrived above Xia Bingchuan. His sword struck down like a bolt of lightning!
Dong Tianleng was at the forefront. With a loud roar, the sword in his hand flew out like a meteor chasing after the moon, its momentum unstoppable.
The person who thought that he would definitely hit his target stopped abruptly. If he did not retract his sword, he might be able to kill Xia Bingchuan, but it would be difficult for him to avoid the sword that had left his hand. Helpless, he blocked it with his sword. With a loud clang, the man in black retreated a hundred feet while Dong Tianleng's sword disappeared in a flash due to the impact of the impact, its whereabouts unknown.
Dong Tianleng, who came right after, landed abruptly. He scooped up a cloud of yellow sand and tossed it towards the other side like the waves of the sea. His arms stretched out to catch Xia Bingchuan's lifeless body before he spun around and shot out. When he landed, he was already back in the encirclement of his men.
"How is he?"
"How is Little Xia?"
Everyone gathered around to check on Xia Bingchuan's condition.
Xia Bingchuan's face was ashen, his eyes white as he trembled. There were at least seventeen to eighteen spots on his body that were bleeding profusely. Even his handsome face was covered in scars. There was even a wound at the back of his head, as if a layer of his scalp had been shaved off by a sharp weapon. He did not look human at all!
Seeing Dong Tianleng, Qiu Yunsan, and the others, Xia Bingchuan's eyes glinted with joy. He wanted to say something, but just as he opened his mouth to speak, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Everyone knew the person he had been dragging along. It was Xia Bingchuan's personal guard. He had lost more than ninety percent of his life and his condition was no better than Xia Bingchuan's.
"Stay alert! Prepare for battle! "
"Qiu Yunsan, come and heal Little Xia!"
"Chun Wanfeng, you take the back while I take the front!"
Dong Tianleng roared decisively. Everyone moved according to his voice.
Seeing Xia Bingchuan's terrible condition, they could tell that the enemy was not someone to be trifled with. In addition, the sword that he had released earlier was already the limit of his cultivation base. However, forcing the other party to retreat further proved that the other party was a formidable foe that he had never met before in his life.
At this time, black-clothed and masked silhouettes emerged one after another amidst the hubbub of dust. On the left and right, a large group of black-clothed and masked men appeared as well.
In the blink of an eye, they had formed an encirclement.
Not only were the other party's abilities formidable, they had so many people as well. Which force in this world could be so powerful?
Behind them, a sharp howl came from the forest. "Have you blocked all of them?"
A black-clothed and masked man in the yellow sand laughed loudly. "Not a single one is missing, I've surrounded them all!"
Then, he chortled. "Good!"
Sharp whistling sounds rang out from all directions. Countless masked men in black appeared in an endless stream from afar and surrounded them.
The silhouettes were densely packed, all of them masked and dressed in black.
Dong Tianleng looked around, his heart skipping a beat.
There were so many masked men in black; none of them were mediocre. There were at least five thousand of them, almost like a small army!
These people had surrounded fifty-six people on his side, including Xia Bingchuan and Dong Tianleng!
It was a large circle of four to five hundred feet in circumference. The surrounding people were closely packed, airtight and impenetrable.
Dong Tianleng sucked in a long breath and straightened his back, speaking in a menacing tone, "Masked men? Do you dare to tell me your name? "
The leader of the masked men chuckled and said, "Of course not. How would we dare to report our names when facing the young masters of the four noble families? How could we not bear the revenge of the four noble families?"
Countless masked men in black guffawed. "I've long heard that the eldest young master of the Dong Family, Dong Tianleng, has a screw loose in his head. Now that I've seen it, it's true. If we could register, would we still need to cover our faces today?"
Dong Tianleng guffawed. "A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well, a motley crew. Do you think you can live if you don't register?"
Even when they were outnumbered and heavily surrounded, Dong Tianleng and the others were not afraid at all. Instead, they were eager to try. Before Yun Yang ascended to the upper realm, he had left a sea of resources for the four noble young masters. Each of these four fellows' cultivation base was already at the pinnacle of this world. Other than the national war they had participated in, they had only engaged in small skirmishes. There was still a chance for them to encounter a real war.
The three young masters had the same thought as they roared excitedly, "Go! Leave no one alive! "
As soon as they finished speaking, they charged forward, taking the lead.
Their stance was like they were besieging their opponents, filled with a sense of superiority and invincibility.
Dong Tianleng roared as he charged, "It's finally my turn. Back then, boss fought ten thousand enemies alone and dominated the continent. Now, watch us slaughter our way through, we won't let boss enjoy all the glory! Wahahaha!"
However, the guards of the family wore bitter expressions as a strong sense of danger rose within them.
The situation did not look good at all!
It was obvious that the enemy had planned for such a large number of troops to be stationed in such a remote place. If they were not confident, how would they dare to ambush Xia Bingchuan and his team?
Although the cultivation base of the four noble young masters had skyrocketed, their popinjays were still the same. When they went out, they still brought along a large number of people and guards. With their current capabilities, they no longer needed guards. If Dong Tianleng and the other two young masters were like that, how could Xia Bingchuan be an exception? It would be strange if he did not bring dozens of people with him. Other than Xia Bingchuan, there was only one survivor among them and both of them were half-dead. More than ninety percent of their lives had been lost. Where were the other guards then?
The answer was obvious – they had all been killed.
Another problem arose – Xia Bingchuan's cultivation base was not inferior to Dong Tianleng and the others, while Xia Bingchuan's guards were not inferior to Dong Tianleng's guards either.
Since the enemy had the ability to take care of Xia Bingchuan and his team, would they not?
Dong Tianleng had used all his strength in his sword attack just now, but he had only managed to force the enemy to retreat instead of inflicting more damage on them. This was already a clear indication of the problem.
However, there was no point in talking about it now. Whether they wanted to break out of the encirclement or annihilate them, they needed to fight.
The guards who followed Dong Tianleng and the others were all passionate men who had participated in the national war. Although they were on high alert, there was no fear in their hearts. They were just a little more cautious.
As the enemy's horn sounded, attacks were launched from all directions. Dong Tianleng and the others who were surrounded did not gather to defend themselves. Instead, they counterattacked aggressively. Dong Tianleng and the other two young masters were the first to charge forward.
With a loud bang, the first contact was met with a wave of blood that burst into the sky.
Dong Tianleng and the other two young masters attacked side by side, the tacit understanding that stemmed from the national war was on full display. The moment they came into contact, more than ten men in black were killed by the three of them. However, Dong Tianleng and the other two young masters felt their hearts sink the moment they fought.
The strength of the enemy was far beyond their expectations.
In the previous wave of attacks, the three of them had used almost all of their strength. Although the results seemed impressive, as they had killed eleven people in one go, there were actually more than forty to fifty people on the other side. Apart from the eleven who had died, the others were only lightly injured and still had the strength to fight again.
More importantly, the three of them had actually felt a strong recoil when they attacked aggressively and were almost injured.
This further proved that the enemy before them was not only strong in combat, but also knew them well, which was why they had purposely set up a formation to deal with them.
"Triangular Formation!"
Qiu Yunsan roared, "The three of us, each of us will be responsible for one arrowhead."
Chun Wanfeng and Dong Tianleng agreed in unison and the formation was immediately reversed.
Although the three of them were quick in coming up with a countermeasure, they were still a step too slow. If they had used the triangular formation from the start, they might not have been able to kill the dozen men, but they would have been much more proactive than they were now. There would be more ways for them to manipulate the situation and at least they would not be too passive.
With that one wrong word, the follow-up reactions were all delayed. The black-clothed masked men on the other side issued their orders repeatedly. Wave after wave of attacks were launched from all directions. They attacked all the guards indiscriminately, causing the triangular formation that the three of them had set up to be unable to form in a short period of time.
In the moment of stalemate where the enemy was orderly and their side was struggling to cope, cries of agony rang out continuously. Forty to fifty men in black were lying dead on the ground while four of the family guards on the four young masters' side had fallen dead as well.
By the time the triangular formation was formed, only forty-nine of the fifty-six people on their side were still intact. Seven to eight of them were injured and their combat strength was greatly reduced. Even Qiu Yunsan's shoulder had been pierced by a sword and was bleeding profusely.
"This is …"
Dong Tianleng's heart skipped a beat. "Are they from the army? Are they soldiers?"
Since the start of the battle, the masked men in black had not spoken a word. They were like cold machines, only operating swiftly and effectively throughout the entire battle. The sound of horns rose and fell as black flags flew in and out, transmitting messages. The men in black took turns to attack like the ebb and flow of the tide. More than five thousand people besieging more than forty people, their pace was not messed up at all. It was like layers upon layers of mountains, each wave higher than the one before it. It was as if everyone was attacking and not a single person's strength was wasted.
This kind of attack rhythm and attack pattern, if not for the fact that he was a well-trained soldier, it would be impossible to achieve!
The others heard Dong Tianleng's cry as well, but they were even more puzzled. It was not strange for the soldiers to be able to execute orders and gather everyone's strength to besiege a target. All of them had participated in the battle at the Fortress of Resilience and were familiar with the military's combat methods.
However, there was absolutely no army in this world that could actually suppress Dong Tianleng and the other two with their cultivation base and strength. Even the Shadow Cavalry, who had dominated the world back then, did not possess the combat power of so many high-level practitioners!
Furthermore, through this period of stalemate, the other party's high-end combat power was gradually revealed. Many of them had already reached the level of a Supreme, only slightly weaker than Dong Tianleng and the others!
Who in the entire continent could build such an army?
As time passed, the battle grew more and more intense.
Dong Tianleng held off two of the other party's commanders with his own strength. His green robes fluttered in the wind as he roared angrily, "Who are you people? Why are you targeting us? "
One of the commanders in black said faintly, "Now that the encirclement is complete, you can't escape even if you have wings. There's no harm in telling you. I'll let you, Young Master Dong, die knowing the truth."
He chuckled coldly and lowered his voice. "The main purpose of this operation at Tianxuan Cliff is naturally to kill Yun Xiaoyao. Everything is prepared and we're only waiting for him to enter the trap. You four popinjays popping out to ruin the plan? If I don't kill you, who am I going to kill? Dong Tianleng, if there's a next life, remember to figure out what you can and can't do! "
Dong Tianleng roared angrily, "F * ck you! Who do you think you are to lecture your father? Even if your father has to live again, I'll still come today! You bunch of trash want to harm Uncle Yun, your father will not allow it! "
He cursed loudly, "I know where you're from. Other than that bastard, no one else can make such a big fuss! Ingrates! You're worse than pigs and dogs! Your emperor is worse than dog sh * t! Kneeling in front of your father and kowtowing, your father thinks he's dirtying my eyes! "
"Bastard!"
"Animals worse than pigs and dogs! Do you think you're fit to be an emperor? "
The three great young masters scolded loudly.
The masked men in black were enraged. "Kill them as soon as possible!"
As soon as the order was given, the enemy's attack became more ferocious.
A hoarse voice rang out, "You three pigs … Who asked you to fight here?"
It was Xia Bingchuan who had just woken up from his coma, crying out in grief and indignation, "Break out quickly and inform Uncle Yun … It'll be a waste to die fighting here …"
Dong Tianleng and the others came to their senses at once. "Break out!"
"Break out? I forgot! "The leader in black cackled strangely." Perish together! Guillotine Formation! "
The enemy activated their killing formation once more, increasing their attack power to a whole new level. The pressure on the three great young masters increased once more, to the point where they found it difficult to even defend themselves, let alone break out of the siege.
For a moment, all the masked men in black charged forward as if they did not care about their lives, using their own bodies as weapons. A small portion of the black-clothed masked men would self-destruct as soon as they charged over. They would self-destruct one after another, and the rumbling sounds would ring out.
Dong Tianleng was currently at the forefront of the triangular formation, mustering all his strength to break out of the siege. However, faced with the most extreme and terrifying self-detonation attack, he could only withstand it for a short while before collapsing. He was covered in blood, his mouth and nose bleeding profusely as he fell back, becoming heavily injured. Even if it was Chun Wanfeng, he could only hold on for a few breaths before collapsing as well. Then, it was Qiu Yunsan …
Although Dong Tianleng and the other two young masters had profound cultivation base and strong meridians, they still had the strength to fight despite being heavily injured. However, the situation was worsening as more and more of them were injured and unable to fight anymore.
After a while, there were less than fifteen people left from the forty-nine people who could still fight. The others were either unable to move due to severe injuries or were already dead.
Dong Tianleng and the other three sat in the center of their formation, barely breathing. The four brothers looked at each other and saw the bitter smile in each other's eyes.
They had thought that they would shock the world with their guards, but who would have thought that they would be surrounded by so many terrifying opponents the moment they came out? They were about to become corpses …
"Just as well. It's not a bad thing for us four brothers to walk the road to the underworld hand in hand."
Qiu Yunsan coughed, spitting blood as he murmured, "Your father doesn't want to die at all. What a good thing …"
The other three men chuckled and said nothing more.
Watching their guards being chopped down one by one and the men in black approaching, the four of them only had one doubt in their hearts. Where did the enemy gather so many experts from?
In the past, any Heaven Mystic expert on the continent could easily guard an area. Now, even the weakest among the five thousand people here was close to the Heaven Mystic level!
The sea of azure light that seemed to form a sea of blue dazzled the four of them.
Where did so many experts come from?
Even if Yu Qiankun was already the overlord of this world, he had only ruled the world for a few days. How could he have nurtured such a strong combat force?
Just as Dong Tianleng and the others were filled with despair and were desperately trying to save their lives, a long howl suddenly resounded. The howl came from afar and approached them swiftly. Then, cries of agony could be heard from the crowd.
It was a silhouette that came like a white steed galloping across a crevice, plunging into the crowd of men in black like a meteor. Sword light spread rapidly like a hurricane; wherever it passed, men and horses were thrown off their feet and blood sprayed into the sky.
The person who came was Yun Xiaoyao. In this world, probably only Yun Xiaoyao could single-handedly attack a battle formation that was made up of such a strong combat force!
Yun Xiaoyao's sword was like the wind, his feet did not stop as well. His body spun continuously, constantly changing his position. He would never face more than three enemies at the same time.
He was using the advantage of his speed to divide and deal with the enemies that he had to face, so that he would always be at an absolute advantage.
The moment he showed himself, his combat experience alone was enough to make the four noble young masters sigh in amazement at their own inferiority.
"Uncle Yun is amazing indeed!"
Dong Tianleng gritted his teeth. "We're saved now."
Before his words echoed in the air, Yun Xiaoyao had already landed amidst the crowd, blood splattering everywhere. His sword swung out smoothly and a ring of sword energy shot out, drawing a large circle on where Dong Tianleng and the others were.
The sword returned to its scabbard immediately but the piercing sword energy remained on the ground without dissipating.
"Those who enter this circle shall die!" Yun Xiaoyao said faintly.
He then turned to look at Dong Tianleng and the others and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "How could the four of you be so careless?"
Indeed, with Dong Tianleng and the other three's current cultivation base, if they had not been too careless and impulsive, they would not have fallen into such a near-death situation, no matter how strong the enemy was in terms of their numbers.
On the other side, the masked men in black were momentarily at a loss of what to do. They looked at each other in dismay. The mark left by the sword edge on the sand was not very deep, but it was like a natural moat that separated the world, blocking the path of attack. The condensed sword Qi did not disperse, and it was obvious that it contained great power.
Along Yun Xiaoyao's path, corpses were strewn all over the place. The human alley that was at least thirty feet wide was still in the middle of the crowd; there were more than two hundred corpses on the ground!
Yun Xiaoyao, on the other hand, was unscathed. It was obvious that this was an absolute suppression of strength!
In other words, Yun Xiaoyao's ability was not something that these masked men in black could deal with. With absolute strength before them, no matter how many heads they had, it was nothing.
The leader of the masked men waved his hand to stop his subordinates from moving and said with a strange chuckle, "So it's King Yun who has come personally. This humble one has been disrespectful. Since King Yun is here, today's operation shall be called off! Retreat! "
With a wave of his hand, countless men in black retreated in all directions like the receding tide.
In less than a dozen breaths' time, not only were the men in black gone, even the corpses, broken weapons, and severed limbs were taken away.
As they left, there was nothing unusual on the ground other than the bloodstains.
"Hoo …"
Dong Tianleng heaved a long sigh and collapsed on the ground, moaning, "You don't have to die anymore … Hahaha … Ah!"
His loud laughter had aggravated the injuries on his body, causing him to cry out in pain.
Yun Xiaoyao sighed and said, "The predicament is still there. Heal your wounds quickly."
He held his sword vigilantly. It looked like they were temporarily safe, but it was not an easy task to watch over so many injured people alone. If the enemy were to ambush them, he might not be able to take care of everything.
He frowned as he pondered, having the same doubts as Dong Tianleng and the others. It was not surprising that the young emperor had arranged for assassins, but where did he find so many experts from?
This matter was not just strange, it was simply horrifying!
After some time, everyone's injuries had recovered slightly and they could move, albeit with difficulty. Yun Xiaoyao urged them to make the best use of their time and leave this place.
The place was empty and there was nothing to be seen. It was not a good place to rest and recuperate in peace.
After burying the corpses, Dong Tianleng and the others were mournful.
There were fifty-eight people on their side, but only nineteen were left alive now. Even those who were lucky enough to survive were all severely injured. The casualty ratio was even higher than the war back then.
"This blood feud must be avenged in this lifetime!"
Dong Tianleng swore through gritted teeth.
Yun Xiaoyao watched quietly from the side, listening to Dong Tianleng say in a low voice, "Uncle Yun, we know that you have your own beliefs and that you are destined not to act against the young emperor, but we need to end this karma."
He did not turn around, still facing the grave as he said through gritted teeth, "We are friends with boss, with Old General Qiu, and with you, but not with Yu Qiankun. The blood debt of thirty-nine lives today must be repaid!"
Xia Bingchuan's voice rang out, "Fifty-nine lives!"
He said sadly, "And on my side, twenty people have died …"
Qiu Yunsan's expression was somber as he wiped his long sword with a piece of white cloth quietly. His eyes were filled with rage. "Before I came out, Second Uncle had just returned home and even told me not to lay a finger on the little emperor no matter what … Hehe … Now, I can't care anymore!"
"When I've recovered, I'll go to the capital."
Qiu Yunsan said through gritted teeth, "Sneaking into the palace is not a difficult task for us. Even if we have to risk our lives, we'll make this ungrateful bastard pay the price!"
Yun Xiaoyao was silent for a moment before he said, "Now that things have come to this, it's up to you all to do what you want … I won't care about this anymore. After Tianxuan Cliff, I'll devote myself to the mountains and rivers, no longer caring about this world … "
His voice was filled with despair.
"Let's go."
"Let's go."
Everyone took one last look at the tombs, then knelt down and kowtowed. Then, they stood up and staggered forward.
After walking for more than ten miles, there was a forest at the top of the slope. The group's spirits were lifted. "Up the slope, let's recuperate in the forest for a while."
As they walked up the slope, their speed was infuriatingly slow because they were all injured.
All of Yun Xiaoyao's deific consciousness was focused on the slope. If there were pursuers charging down from the slope now, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Fortunately, there were no signs of life in front of them; there was no enemy lying in ambush.
As they walked, Xia Bingchuan, who was walking behind Yun Xiaoyao, suddenly felt his legs give way. He fell to the ground with a thud and cursed. "F * ck!"
He supported himself with his hands, wanting to stand up. Unexpectedly, his arms gave way and he rolled down like a watermelon. He had almost rolled to the bottom of the slope that was more than halfway up.
Dong Tianleng and the rest cursed in unison, "F * ck! Can you be a little more promising! "
Yun Xiaoyao flew down from the front like a large bird and supported Xia Bingchuan with one hand. "Are you alright?"
Xia Bingchuan felt weak all over and smiled humorlessly. "Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Yun …"
Yun Xiaoyao nodded and reached under his ribs to lift Xia Bingchuan up. However, at this moment, Xia Bingchuan, who was severely injured and on the verge of death, suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes. A short sword appeared in his hand and was thrust into Yun Xiaoyao's heart with a swoosh, all the way to the hilt!
Yun Xiaoyao, who was bent over to carry Xia Bingchuan, did not suspect Xia Bingchuan at all. He only felt a chill in his heart as the long sword pierced through his body, ignoring his protective skill.
With a loud cry, Yun Xiaoyao threw Xia Bingchuan into the air with a palm strike. Xia Bingchuan spat blood but he straightened his back in midair and flew a hundred feet away, landing at the bottom of the slope far away. He actually managed to stand steadily, but he spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood. His face was pale as he said, "Uncle Yun, I have offended you!"
Yun Xiaoyao straightened his body, the short sword still in his heart. His expression did not change as he asked faintly, "Why?"
Xia Bingchuan shook his head. With a wave of his hand, a whistling arrow flew into the sky and exploded with a loud bang. Sparks flew everywhere, catching everyone's attention.
As he deflected the whistling arrow, Xia Bingchuan's body flashed and he retreated a thousand feet in an instant.
On the slope, Dong Tianleng and the others who were about to ascend were shocked by the sudden turn of events. As if struck by lightning, they turned back in shock and looked at Xia Bingchuan in disbelief. For a moment, there was only shock in their hearts. No one spoke.
After a moment, Dong Tianleng cried out, "Uncle Yun!"
He was about to rush down.
"Don't come down!" Yun Xiaoyao sucked in a deep breath and said, "Hurry up and ascend the slope!"
It was the most awkward position they were in right now.
Yun Xiaoyao climbed up the slope step by step, using only his physical strength to support himself. He did not even have to use any mystical Qi.
It was only when he turned that Dong Tianleng and the others saw the short sword hilt in his heart. Their eyes widened as they trembled and their vision darkened.
"Xia Bingchuan!"
Qiu Yunsan screamed at the top of his lungs, "F * ck your ancestors! You son of a b * tch … Why?! "
Far away, Xia Bingchuan did not answer.
Further away, the men in black who were said to have left surged out from the ground like a tidal wave, surrounding them. Their speed was incredibly fast and their momentum was stronger than before.
