Sima Xuan didn't say another word, flipped his wrist, and an iron fan appeared in his hand. The True Essence Power within him churned wildly, constantly warding off the descending axes… Yet, the sheer strength of the Chi Yi tribesmen was so immense that even with his profound True Essence Power, he was forced to retreat step after staggering step…
As for Bai Jingfei, he still made no use of a weapon. His long sleeves whipped back and forth incessantly, generating torrents of powerful gusts that batted away axe after axe, but the True Essence Power within him was being depleted at an alarming rate…
It was at this precise moment that the archers, hidden in the shadows, led by Hu Yanqi, loosed the arrows from their bows. They lacked Hu Yanqi’s superhuman arm strength, but they could still easily shoot several hundred paces. Now, with the distance less than a hundred steps, they were hardly a threat to be concerned about…
And their archery skills were already peerless in the world. In an instant, no fewer than sixty feathered arrows streaked directly towards Bai Jingfei…
Another forty were aimed at Sima Xuan…
Bai Jingfei, having just managed to fend off the axes, suddenly saw so many arrows hurtling towards him and his heart leaped. He frantically circulated the True Essence Power within him and, with a forceful sweep of one hand, drew the incoming arrows into his sleeves. They instantly detonated, but the shock still left his face looking deathly pale…
Seeing that the archers were preparing to unleash a second volley and the Southern Barbarian warriors were about to charge, Bai Jingfei dared not hold back any longer. He roared aloud, "Why are you hesitating? Act now!"
In a flash, six figures lunged into the rear courtyard from six different directions. They were all bare-handed, but every punch thrown and every palm strike delivered carried immense force. With such savage punching energy and invincible palm winds, how could the mere N-grade Chi Yi tribesmen stand against them…
If they were lucky, a limb would be broken, rendering them immobile; if they were less fortunate, their skulls were smashed in, and their lives extinguished then and there…
Even the Hu Yan archers hidden in the shadows were mercilessly slaughtered by these six figures. The defensive strength that had previously offered some resistance was utterly torn to shreds by these six Grandmasters…
The entire rear courtyard erupted into chaos. Bing Ming was equally stunned to see six Grandmasters appear; he was surprised, but he immediately drew his iron sword and lunged toward a Grandmaster named Bai Da…
Bai Da had just sent a Chi Yi warrior flying with a palm strike and punched a rockery formation, the powerful impact shattering the structure to dust, vaporizing the Hu Yan archers hiding inside as well. Suddenly feeling a sharp sword energy bearing down on him, he was startled…
Without turning around, his body shot forward, narrowly evading the fatal thrust. But his kindred spirit, another Grandmaster named Bai Yan, seemed to know instinctively where a battle saber had come from—perhaps snatched from a fallen warrior—and immediately moved to intercept Bing Ming…
Taking advantage of this opening, Bai Da similarly seized a battle saber and spun around, pressing the attack against Bing Ming…
Facing the pincer attack of two Grandmasters simultaneously, Bing Ming’s face remained placid. He gave a sharp flick of his iron sword, executing the technique ‘Startling Soul Heavenly Sword.’ A brilliant streak of sword light slashed fiercely toward Bai Yan, leaving his opponent absolutely no path to survival, nor himself either…
Faced with that terrifying sword radiance, Bai Yan’s heart filled with dread, and he retreated rapidly. Although he had reached the Grandmaster realm, he had only done so for two or three years; whether in terms of True Essence control or energy concentration, he was far inferior to Bing Ming. Facing Bing Ming’s full-power strike now, escape was impossible…
Bai Da seemed to recognize the sheer power of that incoming sword energy. His attack, initially aimed at Bing Ming, shifted to flank Bai Yan. His True Essence Power surged to its maximum, and he brought his saber down fiercely against the sword light…
With Bai Da’s assistance, Bai Yan’s resolve hardened. His own True Essence Power condensed onto the battle saber in his hand, and he swung with all his might against the sword beam…
Two rather unremarkable streaks of saber light clashed against the massive, ten-meter-long sword radiance, resembling two small mudskippers lunging at a great river—they were instantly and completely consumed by the immense sword light…
Only at this moment did the two realize the terrifying strength of the man before them. Even as fellow Grandmasters, this opponent’s power far surpassed theirs; perhaps he was nearly on par with Young Master Jingfei…
Their hearts filled with terror, the two retreated backward at full speed while simultaneously pushing their True Essence Power to its limit once more, trying to resist the horrific sword light…
With a sharp clang, the battle sabers in both their hands shattered simultaneously. The rampant sword qi surged past the broken blades and struck their bodies, instantly carving several long sword marks across their flesh…
Just then, a stream of pale blue light shot out from behind Bing Ming. In the blink of an eye, it reached Bai Da’s heart. Bai Da was horrified, his body flickering, and he managed to dodge the direct hit, but the light struck his left shoulder instead…
Instantly, his entire arm felt utterly cold and powerless. He looked back to see it was an Ice Spirit Arrow…
At this moment, Bing Ming advanced, intending to use his sword energy to finish them off, but a white figure intercepted them, standing between the two…
“I will deal with this man; you handle the rest…” Bai Jingfei had noticed Bing Ming’s presence long ago. Seeing his two brought Grandmasters fall so easily, he understood that the opponent was a half-step Martial Saint—even if all six Grandmasters attacked together, they might not be a match for him…
As the words fell, Bai Jingfei was already in front of Bing Ming, raising a hand for a punch…
A simple straight punch, yet it carried an aura of unstoppable might, smashing ferociously toward Bing Ming, as if this single blow could shatter a mountain…
Bing Ming was startled. He quickly moved his iron sword to block, and Bai Jingfei’s punch landed heavily upon it. The iron sword did not budge an inch, but a terrifying burst of kinetic energy penetrated the blade and slammed directly into Bing Ming’s chest, sending his body flying backward…
“Mountain-Shattering Void…” Bing Ming cried out, spitting a mouthful of blood…
“Indeed,” Bai Jingfei replied calmly. Just as he prepared to step forward and finish Bing Ming, he felt a blue light shooting toward him. He flicked a single finger, sending out a burst of wind that instantly shattered the incoming Ice Spirit Arrow…
“Spirit Bow?” Bai Jingfei exclaimed, turning to look. He saw a woman in a white gauze dress, exquisitely figure, her face veiled, aiming a water-blue short bow at him…
Her gaze was utterly cold, devoid of any warmth. Bai Jingfei’s heart inexplicably trembled. At that moment, Ye Jingyu and Liang Xiaoke, who had been in seclusion, burst forth from their hidden chamber…
