The duo that rushed out from the forest were clad in black uniforms with gold trim. They wore ghostly head armor on their shoulders and had blood-colored scimitars hanging from their waists. The scimitars had no sheaths, and a single glance was enough to sense the intimidating Evil Qi that surged from them. One could only imagine how many people they had killed to exude such a heavy, murderous aura.

"One, two, three, four. Heh heh, all four of the new talents of Flowing Cloud Region are here, not one is missing."

A chilling gaze from the lead middle-aged man in black scanned past Luo Feng, Bing Ruolan, and the others. From his mouth, a creepy, piercing laughter rang out.

Seeing the blood-colored scimitars at their waists, Zi Hongyuan knew they must be the Blood Saber Guards from the Blood Demon Sect. He looked at the leading middle-aged man in black and asked in a deep voice, "Are you the Blood Saber Demon General?"

The middle-aged man in black patted the blood saber at his waist and sneered, "I didn't expect anyone to remember the Blood Saber Demon General. As a reward, you can die for me!"

The middle-aged man in black had spoken only half his words when his eyes suddenly turned cold. He drew his blood saber and swung.

BOOM!

The blood-colored saber light came pressing down, stretching for tens of meters, flashing through the forest and appearing instantaneously right in front of Zi Hongyuan.

Luo Feng watched the incoming saber light and frowned slightly. With his mighty Soul Power, he could clearly see the saber light and feel the terrifying pressure contained within. However, his body couldn't move, and even his thoughts slowed under the pressure of the saber light. It was a struggle to even move his fingers. This was the gap in their realm.

"Blood Saber Demon General, do you think our four academies are undefended?"

At the critical moment, Zhou Zhiyun appeared silently in front of Luo Feng and the others, drew her sword, and a fierce jade-colored Sword Qi pierced the air.

PSST!

The blood-colored Saber Qi was penetrated by the sword light and instantly disintegrated.

It was only then that a creaking sound echoed through the forest. The moment the Blood Saber Demon General drew his saber, the Saber Qi was so strong that it had cut all the trees within a hundred zhang. Because the speed was too fast, the trees didn't break immediately, only now crashing to the ground.

"Tianlan School, Sky Feather Sword Technique." The Blood Saber Demon General gave Zhou Zhiyun a glance and sneered, "No wonder Xue Jiuyou failed last time. I never expected the head of the little Tianlan School to be a powerful cultivator at the Fifth Stage Spiritual Rotation Realm. Your identity must not be simple, right?"

Zhou Zhiyun shot out another sword light and responded coldly, "Fiend of the Demon Sect, why ask so many questions?"

The Blood Saber Demon General laughed uproariously. "You're right. No matter what your identity is, all of you will undoubtedly die today!"

"We'll see who dies in the end! Purple Sun Palm!" Zi Hongyuan could not hold back any longer. With a roar, his hair stood on end. His body emitted a red glow, and his palm instantly turned red, appearing like a hot iron as he lunged towards the other black-clothed man.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...

The palm force of the Purple Sun Palm contained fire power. As it passed, the air boiled fiercely, causing constant explosions.

"Blood Cloud Burning Blade!" The black-clothed man enveloped by the palm force was also a peak cultivator of the Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm. Seeing Zi Hongyuan attack, he disdainfully drew his blade and slashed out dozens of dense saber lights into the air.

BOOM!

The saber lights not only crushed Zi Hongyuan's Palm Gang but several remaining saber lights also shot towards Luo Feng and the others.

"Want to hurt them? You'll have to get through me first!" Seeing the other party disregard him, Zi Hongyuan was greatly angered. His whole face turned red, as if flames were burning under his skin. Without turning his head, he swung his hand and shot out several Palm Gangs, shattering the saber lights.

"If that's how it is, then I'll kill you first!" The black-clothed man knew that he wouldn't be able to harm Luo Feng and the others without first dealing with Zi Hongyuan. With a cold shout, his figure dashed forward and appeared in front of Zi Hongyuan. His blood-colored scimitar transformed into a Blood Cloud, enveloping Zi Hongyuan.

Zi Hongyuan didn't show any weakness. His Fire Gang grew more and more intense, and his whole person looked like a blazing fire as he advanced towards the black-clothed man.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...

The ground trembled as Zi Hongyuan and the black-clothed man immediately engaged in a fierce battle. Both of them were strong peak practitioners of the Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm; the strength demonstrated in their every movement brought forth immense momentum. The forest was being destroyed piece by piece, and very soon, the fight had moved elsewhere.

"The four of you, be careful! If it gets too dangerous, don't hesitate to flee this place," Zhou Zhiyun hastily instructed.

He Qin nodded. "We will be careful."

Luo Feng, on the other hand, wasn't too worried. He didn't have a clear sense earlier, but now he could perceive the strength of the people nearby. Apart from these two men in black, everyone else's strength lay between the Essence Storage Realm and the Eighth Stage Hell Realm. The number of people might be a problem, but as long as he was careful, his current power should be up to the task.

Zhou Zhiyun wiped her finger on her storage ring and tossed an iron pellet to Luo Feng, whispering, "This is a Blood Gang Thunderbolt Bomb, found on a Blood Demon Sect disciple last time. If launched at close range, it has enough power to kill a master of the Ninth Stage Heavenly Court Realm."

Luo Feng took the Blood Gang Thunderbolt Bomb and examined it. The bomb was only the size of a thumb, with a blood-colored skull engraved on it. If not examined closely, it looked like a small, extremely terrifying skull. Even without using his Soul Power to probe, Luo Feng could feel the fierce fire power contained within the bomb, as if it held a volcano. During the New Talent Assembly, Luo Feng had witnessed the power of the Blood Gang Thunderbolt Bomb with his own eyes. Knowing this was a valuable asset, he immediately stowed it away.

BOOM!

Winds swirled chaotically as Zhou Zhiyun and the Blood Saber Demon General began their battle.

"Blood Disk Saber!"

"Feathered Continuity!"

High in the sky, a red saber light as large as the scorching sun slashed viciously, plunging into a dense cluster of jade-colored Sword Qi. The entire sky shook as if a boiling water surface had been disturbed, the resulting waves causing the giant trees on the ground to sway from side to side.

Zhou Zhiyun's cultivation was somewhat lower than the Blood Saber Demon General's, but her Sky Feather Sword Technique was extremely exquisite, pervasive, and incredibly sharp. The Blood Saber Demon General couldn't underestimate her. For the time being, neither could gain an advantage over the other.

The four experts were engaged in a fierce battle, while Luo Feng and the others had no time to watch.

"So many people."

At this moment, He Qin and the others could also sense the auras coming from all directions; all three girls looked nervous. The auras of these people were no weaker than theirs, not to mention their sheer numbers.

"Don't worry, leave it all to me." Luo Feng stepped forward, walking towards the direction where the enemies were most concentrated.

Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, the three girls nodded, each drawing their weapon.

"Here they come!" Luo Feng heard faint sounds of air being torn, coming from all around him.

The four of them promptly stood back to back, forming a square defensive formation, their gazes sweeping the surroundings.

In no time, numerous black dots appeared from all sides, converging towards them at rapid speed, resembling a flock of birds.

"Stand behind me and do not stray," Luo Feng said calmly.

Luo Feng's composed demeanor affected Bing Ruolan and the other two; they all nodded and stepped closer to him. Unconsciously, Luo Feng had become the pillar of support in their hearts.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH...

After about a dozen breaths, the first man in black charged out, a strong fluctuation of Yuan Qi around his body. He was a mid-Eighth Stage Hell Realm Martial Artist.

He grinned ferociously. The blood-colored scimitar slid silently into his hand, its tip aimed straight at He Qin as he slashed. "Kill!"

He Qin sneered, her Cold Snow sword, dazzling as snow, instantly blended into the air and disappeared.

"Invisible Sword Qi!"

The sword light vanished and reappeared, leaving only a few twisting trails in the air.

PSST!

That man in black charged too quickly and was too confident, directly venturing into the storm of Sword Qi. Before he could even utter a sound, he was dismembered by the chaotic swords.

Once she made her move, He Qin was no longer the image of a weak woman. Her killing aura wasn't any less formidable than that of famous assassins in the Jianghu.

The appearance of the first man in black was just the beginning, as more black-clad figures continued to emerge from the woods.

"Golden Sun Swordsmanship!"

HUM!

Zi Yuan's longsword trembled slightly in her hand, emitting a brilliant sword light that seemed to rival the blazing sun in the sky. The sword light flickered, and several Seventh Stage Essence Storage Realm men in black were all cut in half.

Bing Ruolan was not idle either. She executed the Phantom Phoenix Sky Cloud Dance, coupled with Star-piercing Swordsmanship. She danced gracefully like a butterfly among flowers, yet her movements concealed lethal danger. Wherever she went, men in black were instantly pierced through by Sword Qi, leaving bloody holes in their bodies.

Luo Feng was the quickest. He didn't use a weapon but incorporated his Grand Momentum into his Sky Collapse Fist. The intense force of his fist was like a mountain. Wherever it struck, the black-clad Martial Artists had no resistance; they were all beaten until blood flowed from their seven orifices and they died.

"Kid! You're seeking death!" Seeing Luo Feng's impressive strength, two men in black at the peak Eighth Stage Hell Realm stepped out, flanking Luo Feng. These two men in black were among the top fighters in this group, in no way inferior to Young Master Hanshan, Li Hanshan.

Having reached the third level of the Condensation Yuan Technique, Luo Feng's strength had significantly increased. Now, he paid no heed to any Eighth Stage Hell Realm Martial Artists, including these two.

Without uttering another word, Luo Feng executed the Teng Dragon's Step. His figure darted out, fearlessly confronting the two Prodigy-level experts.

"Blood Cloud Saber Technique!"

"Dismemberment Slash!"

The two black-clad men at the peak Eighth Stage Hell Realm, seeing Luo Feng actively advance, laughed ferociously. They immediately unleashed their Martial Arts, vowing to cut Luo Feng in two.

The three figures instantly clashed. Dominating fist energy swept out in all directions, sharp and murderous.

BANG!

BANG!

Two dull thuds sounded. The two black-clad men at the peak Eighth Stage Hell Realm vomited fresh blood profusely. Their bodies flew out like broken sacks and fell to the ground, crippled and mutilated.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

...

More and more men in black appeared. Among them were Seventh Stage Essence Storage Realm men in black, those with near Prodigy-level strength, and some who were already Prodigy-level.

Fortunately, the number of Prodigy-level men in black wasn't very large. Otherwise, even if Luo Feng could handle them, Bing Ruolan, He Qin, and Zi Yuan definitely wouldn't be able to resist.

"Thousand Mountain Covered with Snow!" In the face of danger, He Qin unleashed her full strength. Her Sword Intent, coupled with Invisible Sword Qi, was pushed to the limit.

SHUSH SHUSH SHUSH SHUSH...

Within a radius of ten zhang, heavy snow flew about, the murderous spirit dense. He Qin stood in its midst, resembling an Ice Goddess with an air of invincibility.

This was He Qin's Invisible Sword Qi after integrating her Sword Intent. The Sword Qi shifted from invisible to tangible, its lethality doubling. When the snow fell upon the world, all things were silenced by its killing intent!

AH! AH! AH!...

Several men in black standing in the snow failed to react in time. They were engulfed by the snowflakes, their Protective Gang Energy torn apart, and they were dismembered by chaotic blades and died.
