Within Yan Zhaoge's line of sight, a black silhouette flickered, unfamiliar whilst also familiar.
The reason he was unfamiliar was because he had only seen him twice before.
It was familiar because Yan Zhaoge had once smelled the aura of death beneath his sword.
The newcomer wore a pitch-black mask and a hood. He was wrapped in a black cloak from head to toe, like a dark cloud pressing down on a city.
The only color on his body was the pair of yellow eyes that shot out bloody light and the faint sword light in his palm!
Yet another soundless sword pierced straight towards Yan Zhaoge.
Compared to the sneak attack and assassination in the Devilish Domain beneath Clear Concealed Lake, the black-clothed man's movements had already been exposed by Ah Hu. This time around, he was no longer as covert in his actions, but was even more ferocious and swift!
The dim sword-light resembled a jet-black bolt of lightning as it pierced towards Yan Zhaoge.
The Eye of the Thunder Emperor within Yan Zhaoge's right eye was currently in a contest of strength with the cloak of crane feathers that hovered in mid-air.
The attack of the black-clothed Martial Grandmaster had come precisely when Yan Zhaoge was occupied. Fast, accurate, vicious!
He wanted to kill Yan Zhaoge with a single blow!
Yan Zhaoge's figure resembled exploding thunder, his speed raised to the maximum as he speedily flashed to the side.
In terms of speed and movement techniques, Yan Zhaoge even surpassed the most outstanding Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners of the same cultivation level by quite a bit!
While the newcomer was a Martial Grandmaster, it was not a sneak attack. As this sword pierced over, Yan Zhaoge also successfully avoided it.
However, the newcomer's sword-light, each sword faster than the previous, the dim light flickering as it pursued Yan Zhaoge in hot pursuit.
The other party's attacks did not seem to be as powerful as those of Ah Hu and the others. With each punch and palm strike, the surroundings were in a mess. The mountains, rocks, and earth were all crushed into powder.
However, that seemingly weak and dim sword light seemed to be nurturing an extremely terrifying power.
Yan Zhaoge did not doubt in the slightest that if he was pierced by this sword-light, cultivating in the Spirit Rhino Demonic Fist and the Ocean Stabilising Spirit Fist … His body, which had been tempered hundreds and thousands of times, would be pierced in an instant without any suspense.
He had already recognized the martial arts that the other party practiced.
The Dark Light Killing Technique focused one's energy into a single line. It was incomparably condensed and indestructible. The Gang Qi was condensed to the point where its light and aura were restrained, like a divine object concealing itself.
Only when it harvested the life of its opponent would it display its brilliance.
What caused Yan Zhaoge to be especially vigilant was that his opponent's current weapon was a low-grade spirit artifact.
Yan Zhaoge had a lot of low-grade spirit artifacts, more than any other Martial Scholar.
Most of them were spoils of war he had seized from his enemies.
But the problem was that the previous owners of these spoils of war. Most of them were Martial Scholars like Yan Zhaoge.
And a Martial Scholar was actually unable to fully unleash the power of a Spirit Weapon!
Martial Grandmasters were different. Although the opponent in front of him was only at the first level of the Martial Grandmaster, the early stage of the Spirit Nurturing Realm, with a low-grade spirit weapon in his hands, he was like a tiger that had grown wings!
A spirit weapon in the hands of a Martial Grandmaster and a spirit weapon in the hands of a Martial Scholar were two completely different concepts.
When this black-robed great grandmaster attacked, he did not say a word. However, he displayed his Dark Light Killing Technique to the fullest. The might of the Spirit Artifact longsword in his hand was completely unleashed.
The sword-light was dim, looking weak and dim, but each sword was faster than the previous, stronger than the previous. With the momentum of toppling mountains and overturning seas, it attacked towards Yan Zhaoge!
With the Eye of the Thunder Emperor fragment temporarily restrained by the cloak of crane feathers, Yan Zhaoge also did not have it easy against the opponent before him.
Outside the hut, Ah Hu was unable to contain his rage as he unleashed his full strength, wanting to charge into the hut.
However, his opponents. While they were not on the same side, at this moment, they all tacitly joined hands, preferentially attacking Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu who had gained the initiative.
Now that Ah Hu was also a Martial Grandmaster, the power of the Black Nightmare Armour on his body was completely unleashed, dark light roiling and black wind roaring, causing him to resemble a demonic god.
Yan Zhaoge even handed the mid-grade spirit artifact, the Hidden Clear Sunlight Sabre, to Ah Hu.
While as a Spirit Nurturing Martial Grandmaster, Ah Hu was unable to fully unleash the power of the mid-grade spirit artifact, the Hidden Clear Sunlight Sabre, he was already able to wield a portion of its power.
Ah Hu did not cultivate in sabre arts, but currently, he completely wielded his sabre with qi, concealing the Hidden Clear Sunlight Sabre within the black storm formed of his fist-intent aura-qi.
The spirit artifact sabre mixed together with the piercingly cold wind sabres, causing enemies to be unable to guard against them.
However, Ah Hu's opponents all had spirit artifacts on them as well. Other than the two Martial Grandmasters at the start, another Martial Grandmaster very quickly joined the fray.
With the three of them surrounding and attacking, Ah Hu did not fear them in the slightest, even gaining the upper hand as he fought, causing the hearts of his three opponents to tremble with fear.
It was just that with his three opponents holding him back, Ah Hu would not be able to rush into the hut to assist Yan Zhaoge within a short period of time.
Ah Hu was incomparably frustrated, "Other than Young Master's side, there should only have been a single door. There are actually so many enemies of different origins."
"Right, at the start, it might have only been that spying Martial Grandmaster alone. Realising that he was not our match, he diverted the trouble, leaking the news and drawing in so many people from different places!"
Within the hut, garbed in the Lofty Mountain Armour, Yan Zhaoge faced off against that black-clothed, masked Martial Grandmaster opponent.
Within that pair of yellowed pupils that emitted a bloodred light, Yan Zhaoge could vaguely see that other than coldness, they also contained hatred and resentment.
Within the hut, Yan Zhaoge was locked in an intense battle with the masked Decimating Abyss martial practitioner, while outside the hut, Ah Hu and the other three Martial Grandmasters were engaged in a heaven-shaking, earth-overturning battle.
If not for that cloak of crane feathers within the hut, which vaguely possessed the power to protect it, this place would have long since been razed to the ground by Ah Hu and the others.
With so many Martial Grandmasters present, the Martial Grandmasters who had entered the foreign dimension all sensibly retreated.
Perhaps there were rare and precious treasures here, but with the current situation, there was most likely nothing for them to do.
Rashly embroiled in a battle between Martial Grandmasters, one would sometimes not even know how they died.
However, there was one exception.
It was precisely the Lin Zhou who had spread the news that Yan Zhaoge and the others were here, as well as that secret treasure.
Calmly and carefully, he tried to avoid the battle between Ah Hu and the other three, approaching the hut.
With Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu's attention drawn, his chances of obtaining the treasure increased greatly.
The Immortal Crane Wings, that cloak of crane feathers which hung within the hut, was Lin Zhou's main target this time.
Of course, if there was a chance, he would also make use of it to sweep the other treasures away.
If he could bury Yan Zhaoge here for good, that would be even better.
Through the open window of the straw hut, Lin Zhou gazed at the Immortal Crane Wings, his eyes blazing, "With this treasure, leaving Yan Zhaoge behind would not be impossible!"
However, not waiting for Lin Zhou to approach any further, he abruptly stared wide-eyed.
He saw Yan Zhaoge forcibly withstanding that masked Martial Grandmaster's sword with the Lofty Mountain Armour, his figure making use of the momentum to fly backwards.
The light of thunder flickered within Yan Zhaoge's right eye, the power of the Eye of the Thunder Emperor fragment temporarily locking the Immortal Crane Wings in place, before Yan Zhaoge's entire body crashed into the Immortal Crane Wings, wanting to wrap this cloak of crane feathers around his body!
"You won't be able to refine the Immortal Crane Wings in time for your own use," Lin Zhou smiled coldly, "Instead sending yourself over to the opponent's sword."
Indeed, that masked Martial Grandmaster's sword did not cease in the slightest as it pursued and stabbed towards Yan Zhaoge's body, directly breaking through the defence of the Lofty Mountain Armour!
The dim sword-light cut through Yan Zhaoge's clothes, directly arriving at the skin of his chest, causing Yan Zhaoge to feel an icy coldness within his heart! (To be continued.)
