In the high sky, several disciples of Lord Jian Yi gathered.

The few were not very old, the oldest being in their mid-thirties at most.

She looked down upon the peak beneath and said faintly, "I wondered why Sister Leng Jin isn't seeking the Holy Spirit Energy; turns out she's discovered someone leveling up here."

The once overbearing slave master demeanor of Leng Jin was nowhere to be seen at this moment.

She dutifully replied, "Senior Dongfang, the commotion caused by the person in the mountain is not small; it's likely of the high ranks of the River Realm."

Dongfang Ning: "Still haven't found the person?"

Leng Jin's expression wasn't good, and she whispered, "The Ice Butterfly squad is still searching."

Dongfang Ning happened to see an Ice Butterfly disciple flying across the peak, her gaze looking down as if at a lowly ant: "A group of useless wretches."

"Senior Dongfang, please don't get angry. If she bothers you, I will take her out." Leng Jin reached out a hand, and energy surged in her jade palm.

"Whoosh~ whoosh~"

A total of sixteen flying swords shot out, stabbing straight at the peak.

To be precise, they were targeting the Ice Butterfly female disciple searching desperately on the peak.

"No! Don't!"

The middle-aged woman was horrified, looking up abruptly.

The Ice Butterfly Divine Technique·Ice Sense enabled the Ice Butterfly believers to establish a clever connection with frost and snow, perceiving all things within.

It is noteworthy that such frost and snow could be released by the Ice Butterfly believers themselves or naturally formed within the natural world.

Therefore, when Leng Jin casually unleashed her flying swords, the Ice Butterfly believers searching below sensed it immediately.

"Please, I'm just about to find it, I..."

The woman's voice trembled in plea, and her words cut off abruptly.

"Slash! Slash..."

Blades pierced flesh!

The swiftly attacking long swords instantly penetrated the head, heart, and limbs of the Ice Butterfly disciple.

A living person was thus nailed to the peak.

Until the last second, this person didn't even think of escaping; she was only begging for mercy.

Perhaps she knew in her heart that escaping Leng Jin's kill was impossible.

Or perhaps, in the days of being a slave or servant, this Ice Butterfly disciple had been utterly crushed by Leng Jin, daring not even to think of resisting.

With the tragic death of the Ice Butterfly female disciple on the spot, the remaining two male Ice Butterfly disciples immediately searched with more fervor.

They had no time to mourn their companion.

Their hearts were filled only with fear, wanting only to quickly find the person leveling up within the mountain!

The weak, in this realm, had no rights to speak of.

Perhaps in the human world, they were revered beings, guardians beloved and supported by the people.

But here, they were mere servants clinging to life, depending on others for subsistence.

"Sister Leng Jin, you're quite ruthless."

In the high sky, Dongfang Ning's lips curled, turning to look at the young junior.

Leng Jin smiled and nodded: "She was crying incessantly, I found her bothersome too."

A charming visage, a faint smile, and a pair of bright eyes, appearing so beautiful.

As if the person who brutally killed the servant wasn't her just now.

"If they're not found, cut down this mountain peak." Among the four disciples of Lord Jian Yi, the tallest woman spoke.

Her eyes were equally cold, overlooking the peak below: "Don't delay us in collecting Holy Spirit Energy for Lord Jian Yi."

Another relatively petite woman nodded in agreement at once: "Yes, if she belongs to our sect, and she's come this far, we'd have found her at Our Sword Mountain Peak, settling down before leveling up..."

In just a few sentences, the group unanimously agreed on this decision.

By rights, the disciples of Lord Jian Yi were cold and not prone to meddle.

But this was the Holy Spirit Mountain!

Since they encountered someone leveling up, they couldn't sit back and do nothing.

If ignored today, then a week later, a month later, a year later... the one who leveled up successfully in the River Realm might stand before you, brandishing their cutlass.

"Hoo!!"

Leng Jin raised her right hand.

Above the high sky, a Frost Great Sword continuously took shape.

Sword One Divine Skill·Frost Cold Nine Provinces!

"Ah!"

"There, someone!" Two Ice Butterfly disciples shouted loudly.

A slender figure appeared at the top of the snow mountain, without knowing since when.

Carrying four Tang Blades on his back, he looked up at the sky and shouted, "Seniors, could you please defer?"

Saying so with his mouth, Lu Ran held no hope in his heart.

He only took the opportunity to observe a few disciples of Lord Jian Yi, ignoring the two Ice Butterfly believers... Hmm, they're not worth worrying about.

Lu Ran's gaze finally landed on the beautiful woman in her thirties.

Her aura...

She was probably of the Sea Realm Great Power.

Damn!

This time, it's going to be life and death!

Lu Ran was fairly cautious, thoughts turning quickly in his mind.

Teleporting back to the cave now and taking Deng Yuxiang to teleport away?

How is that different from interrupting Deng Yuxiang's leveling up?

At this moment, Deng Yuxiang had already connected with this world, with boundless energy rushing into the mountain.

If Lu Ran took her away, the endless supply of energy from heaven and earth would be cut off.

Seeking another place and starting anew, who knows if it could continue...

"Instant Teleportation Technique, is he a disciple of Qiang Xiu?" In the high sky, the short woman's face darkened.

In this case, the person leveling up in the mountain might also be a disciple of Qiang Xiu!

That's not good!

The noble and aloof disciples of Lord Jian Yi were indeed at the top of the pyramid.

But the Divine·Qiang Xiu was also a First-class God!

Spear Withering Divine Skill·Cloud Piercing Shadow allowed Qiang Xiu disciples to appear and disappear mysteriously, extremely tricky in battle.

"What a handsome young man." Dongfang Ning was quite surprised.

"Yes, so very young." Leng Jin squinted her eyes, a gleam flashing in her eyes.

Having slaughtered for so long in this Holy Spirit Mountain, she had only seen middle-aged and old people, not meeting peers for a long time.

No, he was visibly even younger.

If he were in the human world, he might just be starting university?

"Heh." The tall woman sneered coldly, looking at Lu Ran contemptuously, "Leng Jin, strike."

Leng Jin did not like the arrogance of her senior, but she held back.

She raised her hand, closely connected with the Frost Great Sword in the sky, eyes flashing with a hint of vindictiveness.

Being so young to be here in the Holy Spirit Mountain, he must be Heaven's Chosen!

He indeed couldn't be allowed to live!

Leng Jin didn't think that with one strike, the opponent would die on the spot.

But this strike could certainly interfere with the Qiang Xiu believer's breakthrough and leveling in the mountain!

The enemy must not level up!

Mercy towards the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Perhaps the young Qiang Xiu disciple on the peak, for the sake of his companion, might unleash the Qiang Xiu faction's great move·Heavenly Spear to counter her Frost Cold Nine Provinces?

Come, try it!

"Since none of you wish to spare us..." On the peak, Lu Ran's voice came again.

However, before he could finish speaking, his figure flashed!

Leng Jin's expression changed, sensing the energy fluctuation beside her, instinctively retreating sideways.

"Shua~"

A figure suddenly appeared beside the tall woman, a brilliant dawn light flashing by!

The tall woman was evidently prepared, her face showing sarcasm, wielding her sword to block.

With a crisp "crack" sound.

The tall woman's expression suddenly shifted!

The sword she wielded, enveloped in dense Divine Power, was indeed a strong Divine Weapon Seed.

Yet this sword, was a notch made by the Dawn Blade?!

But it didn't stop there!

A terrifying force struck from the sword, shaking the tall woman's hand, nearly making her lose the grip on her long sword.

But at this moment, she could no longer think about where this great force came from.

Because the Dawn Blade was pressing against the sword, continuing to slash with brute force!

Bearing a forceful destructiveness!

The swiftly sharp Dawn Blade forcibly gouged open the Jiang Grade·Water Flow Armor, instantly tearing the tall woman's garments.

"Ah!!" The tall woman cried out in pain, her clothes torn, blood lines spurting from her chest.

It must be admitted, the Jiang Grade flying sword moved incredibly fast!

If not for the woman's feet swiftly retreating on the flying sword, she would have been cut in half by the Dawn Blade.

"Impertinent!" Dongfang Ning was both shocked and enraged, throwing out over a dozen flying swords.

Together with overwhelming pressure surging towards Lu Ran's direction.

Lu Ran's body stiffened.

Damn!

Worthy of the Sea Realm, such terrifying pressure!

Lu Ran leaned forward, pretending to pursue the tall woman, his figure flickering again.

Dongfang Ning's face was furious, scanning the surrounding energy fluctuations, then flinging several flying swords towards Leng Jin's side.

"Whoosh~ whoosh~"

Amidst the sound of breaking through the air, Lu Ran indeed appeared beside Leng Jin!

His feint was seen through by Dongfang Ning...

After all, Lu Ran's aim was to prevent Leng Jin from striking down the Frost Great Sword.

His target, of course, should be Leng Jin!

Silent Night Blade: "Behind you!!"

The eternally silent Silent Night Blade finally conveyed the message.

"Shua~"

Lu Ran's back turned cold, drenched in cold sweat!

The Jiang Grade·Water Flow Armor, under the sea-grade flying sword, was like flimsy paper.

Just as the sword tip barely pierced into Lu Ran's Water Flow Armor, his figure suddenly flickered away.

Truly·escaped from death!

The four disciples of Lord Jian Yi scattered and retreated, seeing this scene, their faces changed.

Was this the Spear Withering Divine Skill·Cloud Piercing Shadow?

No! Something was off!

Leng Jin swiftly retreated, a huge wave churning in her heart.

His spell had no prior gestures, before the shuttling, there was no movement intent at all.

Ignoring the very small time difference, seemingly negligible.

But just this small bit of time was enough for the flying sword to pierce into his back!

This technique, surely wasn't Cloud Piercing Shadow!

This was...

Evil Dog Evil Skill·Evil Shadow Flash?

This overly young guy was actually an Evil Demon disciple?

Leng Jin's thoughts raced, along with losing her connection to the Frost Great Sword in the sky.

This world-destroying big move required a high degree of concentration from the caster.

Before, Leng Jin had many thoughts, but at least she wasn't utterly shocked in mind like now.

"Aaah!!"

A sudden scream shocked the few terribly.

No one knew what happened, they just saw the tall woman withdraw in panic, shaking her head wildly!

Turns out, the narrowly escaped Lu Ran, didn't launch another sneak attack, but appeared over ten meters directly in front of the tall woman.

One second ago, the tall woman was still furious.

She covered the torn clothing on her chest with one hand, staring at Lu Ran with fixed eyes, raising another hand, about to act.

It was at that moment that a bewitching deep red flash crossed Lu Ran's eyes...

Evil Technique·Silk Pupil!

Thus, the tall woman screamed while flying back.

Dongfang Ning was absolutely furious!

Detecting Lu Ran's disappearance again, she abruptly swung her sleeve.

In an instant, flying swords poured down like rain, aiming at the tall woman's surroundings.

Omnidirectionally, with no dead angles!

To save her companion, more so to pierce that elusive young man!

"Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh!"

The sharp long swords flew one after another, yet Lu Ran did not appear.

"Crunch!!"

Replaced by two rows of sharp canine teeth, fiercely biting at the tall woman's waist.

"Aaah!!" The tall woman screamed.

The sound was shrill, with disheveled hair.

Where was the mocking, commanding demeanor from earlier?

Under the torment of Silk Pupil, her Water Flow Armor was extremely unstable.

The two extremely strong biting canine teeth forcibly bit through the tall woman's Water Flow Armor in the midst of the flying sword array!

After crushing the armor, the teeth slightly lost momentum, failing to cut her in half.

But they left her waist and abdomen a bloody mess, gruesome to behold.

One blood cave after another, blood flowed unceasingly...

Dongfang Ning's face was livid!

Her flying swords naturally aimed for contours, yet the teeth appeared amidst her companion's waist, avoiding all the swords!

The closest petite woman watched her companion fall, daring not to pursue downwards.

Two more rows of canine teeth rapidly emerged above the tall woman, swallowing her as she fell...

"Crunch!!"

This time, truly cut in half.

And the young man who flickered and disappeared...

"Seniors!" Ahain, the voice of the youth came from the peak.

They immediately looked down.

Lu Ran still stood in the original spot, as if he had never moved.

His face was somber, his gaze scanning over the three lofty disciples of Lord Jian Yi: "The dissenting one is dead.

Now, could you please defer?"

Everyone: !!!
