They had been around for half a day.

They had, of course, sensed the terrifying aura of the previous battle and also knew that one of the combatants was Sikong Jing, the East Dominator. They saw Sikong Jing force back the sedan-carrying woman of the Wunian Saint Sect and even disperse a thousand spiritual shadows with a single shout.

They also noticed that Sikong Jing seemed to be seriously injured.

But as analyzed before, they didn't know how seriously Sikong Jing was hurt. While everyone else around didn't dare to approach, Brother Chang suddenly suggested they go and take a look.

Then, the other disciples of Han Nu Mountain had no choice but to follow and come before Sikong Jing.

But at this moment, they were scared.

This East Dominator kid was simply too monstrous. Initially, in front of the Weng Family, he made Pei Fenyi uncomfortable with just a claw. Now, he had fought back against the sedan-carrying woman of the Wunian Saint Sect. If he wasn't too badly hurt, they'd be doomed.

However, Brother Chang said ferociously.

"What are you afraid of? Risk brings fortune."

"Didn't you see how terrifying the Emperor's Artifact on him is?"

"If we can get his Emperor's Artifact, I, Chang Fei, can also fight against the disciples of the Wunian Saint Sect. By that time, the opportunity will be gone."

As Brother Chang said this, his eyes glinted coldly as he stared at Sikong Jing.

In the next instant, his face twisted madly as he said, "East Dominator kid, I am Chang Fei, son of Chang E, the Mountain Master of Han Nu Mountain, and a genius of the Spirit Battle Realm. Your Emperor's Artifact is mine now."

After introducing himself, Chang Fei suddenly grabbed a disciple of Han Nu Mountain and threw him towards Sikong Jing.

Chang Fei wouldn't foolishly rush up himself but would first throw a junior brother up there to test the waters.

If this junior brother got killed, he would immediately turn and run.

On the contrary, if Sikong Jing's Emperor's Artifact became his.

The Han Nu Mountain disciple who was thrown out had never expected Brother Chang to be so ruthless. He screamed in terror as he was hurled towards Sikong Jing, who was seated cross-legged. At this moment, he wanted to retreat and escape...

But thinking of Brother Chang's cruelty, he ultimately twisted in mid-air and thrust his sword outward.

He was also ready to strike and run, prepared to escape at any moment.

The sword light of the Han Nu Mountain disciple was about to strike Sikong Jing's face, yet Sikong Jing remained with his eyes closed, as if completely unaware, as if he was going to be pierced by the sword light in the next instant.

This scene made Chang Fei's eyes shine coldly with intense anticipation.

On the slope below, the disciples of various forces from East Spirit City also froze their gazes, staring intently at Sikong Jing... Meanwhile, they slightly moved their feet up the mountain, the weapons in their hands already glowing with brilliance.

As soon as Sikong Jing died, they would be the first to rush up and fight Chang Fei and the others for the Emperor's Artifact.

Buzz!

Just as the sword light reached Sikong Jing, a light vibration suddenly flashed from his body, and then a hammer shadow seemed to condense in front of him.

The hammer shadow, like a shield, unexpectedly blocked the sword light in an instant.

As the sword light vanished, the black hammer shadow in front of Sikong Jing also disappeared.

Everyone was stunned, including the Han Nu Mountain disciple retreating after issuing the blow. They gazed at Sikong Jing, who still showed no intention of opening his eyes, as if he didn't know what had just happened.

Everyone looked at each other, confused.

At this moment, Chang Fei clapped his hands and said, "I understand now; it must be the Emperor's Artifact protecting him..."

"The East Dominator kid is indeed seriously injured. Now, don't hesitate, attack with me. We must force him to get more injured."

Having said that, Chang Fei no longer hesitated to launch an attack.

Since the junior brother who just attacked was fine, then certainly, his own attacks would also be fine. Moreover, Sikong Jing wasn't counterattacking or even reacting because he must be too injured to move.

Boom, boom, boom...

Chang Fei and others launched their attacks continuously.

But as previously mentioned, the disciples of this generation from Han Nu Mountain were very weak, even the son of Chang E was not strong.

So, during their attack, a series of hammer shadows continuously condensed in front of Sikong Jing, shielding him from their attacks, yet Sikong Jing still showed no intention of opening his eyes.

This further confirmed Chang Fei's belief that he was protected by the Emperor's Artifact and was desperately healing himself.

At this time, more and more disciples from East Spirit City's factions approached. There were indeed dozens of them, and they also believed the same thing and wanted to seize the chance to attack.

In reality, they only guessed half of it...

Sikong Jing was indeed healing, but what protected him wasn't some Emperor's Artifact but the meridian power of the Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger.

The hammer shadows were intentionally vibrated out by Sikong Jing during his cultivation.

It was still due to the overwhelmingly powerful meridians of the Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger, thus appearing as if protected by an Emperor's Artifact, leaving no opening against people like Chang Fei, who were not even qualified.

Boom, boom, boom...

The attacks from dozens of people began, cursing angrily as they bombarded Sikong Jing... Unfortunately for them, even the strongest among them was just Chang Fei, so it did no good at all.

After a full half-hour, they were exhausted and could see no reaction from Sikong Jing.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe this... Explode, Spiritual Artifact!"

At this moment, Chang Fei angrily threw out a middle-level spirit treasure and detonated it beside Sikong Jing!

The explosion sounded with a bang, yet Sikong Jing was unharmed, and the surroundings were still filled with the hammer shadows.

Everyone was left with their mouths agape, unsure of what to do next.

Finally, they could only stop, with their lips twitching continuously.

Just then, from the mountaintop, two people suddenly rushed out; they were Ah Xie and Ah Xiang.

Due to the sudden silence around, Ah Xie hadn't yet realized the situation and shouted loudly, "Sikong Genius, we've managed to stall the Three Beauties for a bit more than half a moment, but now they've already..."

The sentence was abruptly cut off.

Because they saw the scene before them, Sikong Jing was actually surrounded and under siege.

Ah Xie initially wanted to say that the Three Beauties had already dealt with the spiritual shadows besieging her and informed the people on the other side of the slope about Sikong Jing's injuries, and those people were already on their way over here.

Therefore, something had to be done now, but who would have thought the people on this side of the slope were already unable to hold back any longer?

Now... what to do?

At this moment, a cold gleam flashed in Chang Fei's eyes, and he suddenly shouted, "I've got it. Capture these two from the Weng Family and flay them little by little. I don't believe this East Dominator kid can still remain unresponsive."

After saying this, Chang Fei rushed towards Ah Xie and Ah Xiang immediately...

Meanwhile, the others reacted and desperately pounced on the two. Whoever managed to capture these two hostages from the Weng Family would gain the upper hand and potentially seize the Emperor's Artifact.

Watching dozens of shadows descend from above, Ah Xie and Ah Xiang's bodies trembled, almost in despair.

But just then, Sikong Jing finally opened his eyes.

No one realized that his True Qi had advanced from the Third Realm of Martial Battle to the Martial Battle Fourth Realm, and the first move of the Black Prison Devouring Sky Hammer had already fully formed in his mind.

Moreover, his injuries had recovered by the two-tenths he had anticipated.

Watching the crowd pounce towards Ah Xie and Ah Xiang, Sikong Jing said indifferently, "Black Prison Appearance, Swallowing Sky Bomb!"

Roar...

A resounding roar seemed to emanate from Sikong Jing's mouth, or perhaps it was from the hammer in his hand.

In the next moment, a terrifying black tiger appeared above Chang Fei and the others.
