All six were killed.
"Young Castle Lord, run!"
The middle-aged man roared. Thick black fur began to grow on his body as he lunged forward, transforming into a gigantic black bear. The pressure he exuded was astonishing.
At the same time, Lin Ruhu finally woke up from his daze. His face was so pale that it was devoid of blood. Without saying a word, he madly ran into the distance.
"Can you escape?"
A cold glint flashed in Chu Xingyun's eyes as he thrust his palm forward. The endless Ten Thousand Beast Fire roared and turned into a stream of fire that locked onto Lin Ruhu's body.
"Controlling the Mountains and Rivers!"
At this time, the middle-aged man had already arrived in front of Chu Xingyun. With a furious roar, a blood-red light burst out from his arms and smashed down from above, dispersing the Ten Thousand Beast Fire.
Boom!
The fiery light completely dispersed, shooting towards the middle-aged man like a rain of fire. Once it came into contact with the Baleful Yin Qi, the two began to madly collide, bursting out bursts of muffled sounds that lingered on incessantly.
"What kind of flame is this? It's so terrifying. Even the Baleful Yin Qi is unable to suppress it." The shock in the middle-aged man's heart could not be any greater. He kept retreating. He glanced at his hands and discovered that the hair on them had already been burned off, leaving them bare.
Earlier, if he had not withdrawn his power in time, he would have been completely enveloped by the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and fallen into a predicament.
"This kid's cultivation is still shallow, so it's impossible for him to control this flame for a long time. As long as I keep buying time, it shouldn't be a problem to kill him." The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes as a plan formed in his mind.
However, at this moment, the middle-aged man seemed to have sensed danger. His body suddenly trembled.
A chill suddenly descended and froze his body. Then, a sharp sword light instantly approached him and pierced his heart under his terrified gaze.
"No!"
A terrified voice came out of the middle-aged man's mouth. His eyes were filled with disbelief, as if he still couldn't believe that he would die at the hands of a young man at the seventh layer of Spirit Gathering.
Today, they had been secretly following Chu Xingyun. They had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to kill him without anyone noticing and then take away that powerful sword.
However, in the end, they had all died at the hands of Chu Xingyun.
The funniest thing was that not long ago, when they saw Chu Xingyun suddenly appear in front of them, they were overjoyed, thinking that Chu Xingyun was here to die. Every one of them mocked him without restraint, acting extremely complacent and arrogant.
Even now, those mocking words were still echoing in his ears.
Every word, every word, was a great mockery, causing the middle-aged man to feel incomparably uncomfortable. His wails became more and more mournful, and in the end, in endless pain, he lost his last trace of life and became an ice-cold corpse.
From the moment Chu Xingyun released the Ten Thousand Beast Fire to the moment the middle-aged man died, only a short time had passed.
At this time, Lin Ruhu had not gone far.
When he heard the middle-aged man's blood-curdling screams, Lin Ruhu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His pupils were dyed red as he raised his head and roared, "Bastard, you've killed my men over and over again. I, Lin Ruhu, will not rest until you die!"
His voice was mixed with Spiritual Power, and it reverberated clearly in the air, waking up the martial artists who were sound asleep.
"Who is so bold to attack the Splitting Tiger Hall?"
"This voice seems to be from Lin Ruhu. What is going on?"
The crowd rushed towards the source of the voice. Just as they were about to reach it, a figure fell rapidly from the forest in front of them without any warning.
Poof!
The figure landed on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
When everyone saw the face of the figure, they felt their minds explode and their hearts stop beating.
This person was Lin Ruhu!
In an instant, a chill slowly spread from the depths of the crowd's hearts.
Not long ago, they had heard Lin Ruhu's voice. His voice was ferocious and filled with endless cold killing intent.
Now, Lin Ruhu was dead. He had died in front of everyone's eyes.
This was too fast and too sudden. The crowd was not mentally prepared at all. They rubbed their eyes, thinking that they were hallucinating. They did not dare to believe it.
Swoosh!
A thin figure flew out from the forest.
The figure's face was as handsome as a demon. There were a few traces of blood on his sword. The blood was not deep, but under the moonlight, it was filled with killing intent.
The purplish-red Ten Thousand Beast Fire circled around Chu Xingyun's body. His cold eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and a gentle smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, shocking the crowd.
When the crowd recovered from their shock, Chu Xingyun was no longer in front of them.
But on the ground, Lin Ruhu's body was still there. Fresh blood was flowing out of it, as if it was telling the truth.
There was a rumbling sound, and the ground started to shake violently. The crowd turned around and saw streaks of fire in the distance. They were rushing over at an extremely fast speed.
Not long after, a group of frenzied figures appeared. There were more than 60 of them, and they were all riding ferocious Spiritual Beasts. Their domineering auras caused the weaker martial artists to fall to the ground, unable to stand up.
"They are from the Crashing Tiger Hall!"
The crowd immediately moved aside and looked forward. The person in the lead was a middle-aged man in black leather armor. His eyes were dim, and his face was extremely gloomy.
Especially his eyes, which were bloodthirsty and scarlet. They were full of killing intent.
This person was the famous Hall Master of the Crashing Tiger Hall, Lin Sheng.
The experts of the Crashing Tiger Hall surrounded the entire area. Lin Sheng glanced at Lin Ruhu's body. Then, he swept his gaze across the crowd and said eerily, "Who did this?"
Lin Sheng's voice was trembling.
Everyone could clearly feel that Lin Sheng was on the verge of exploding. His murderous intent was even more terrifying than that of a wild beast.
"It's a young man in a black outfit. He killed Young Fort Master Lin in front of us and left."
Many people in the crowd were unable to withstand the terrifying pressure and immediately answered. They also described Chu Xingyun's appearance, figure, Ten Thousand Beast Flame, and Sky Slashing Sword in detail.
They knew that Lin Ruhu was Lin Sheng's only son.
But at this moment, Lin Ruhu was dead. To Lin Sheng, this meant that his bloodline was cut off. It was like a sharp sword that cut off the Lin Family's bloodline, and cut off the Crashing Tiger Hall's future.
"Reporting to Hall Master, we have followed the tracks of those bandits all the way to the Sunset Cloud Valley. If I'm not mistaken, those two people should've entered the Sunset Cloud Valley," An expert from the Crashing Tiger Hall quickly walked over and reported to Lin Sheng.
"Sunset Cloud Valley?"
Lin Sheng tightly clenched his fists. His legs suddenly exerted force, and he flew to the top of a towering ancient tree.
