"Kill!!!"
"Kill!!!"
The large, flat ground before the mountain stronghold instantly became a terrifying battlefield of flesh and blood.
Ferocious mountain bandits, County Soldiers, Guards, and a number of Demon Exterminators clashed in a mad frenzy.
Flesh and blood flew as heads rolled!
It was a truly brutal sight!
Li Jin, wielding dual spears, was locked in combat with two wanted criminals from the top twenty of the Black List.
After all, when Zhang Bei had gathered his followers to revolt on Sheep Head Mountain, many Black List masters from Cangshui County had flocked to join him.
Li Jin swung his twin spears, their movements as swift as lightning, and actually managed to suppress both Black List masters.
Meanwhile, the few True Qi Martial Artists sent by the Noble Families had each found their own opponents, activating their True Qi and engaging in battle.
Only Zhang Bei and Nie Jing had yet to make a move.
The two men faced each other from a distance, their auras swelling with terrifying power.
"Nie Jing... this time, you’re dead!"
Zhang Bei let out a vicious laugh and finally attacked.
He leaped into the air. As he plummeted downwards, the long spear in his hand glinted with a dark light and thrust violently toward Nie Jing!
"Black Clouds Overhead!"
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Bei’s black spear erupted into a sky full of afterimages, resembling a great dark cloud that descended upon Nie Jing.
Nie Jing let out a cold snort.
His weapon was a Ghost Head Saber. Its spine was thick, and it radiated a dense Evil Qi, a testament to the countless people it had slain.
Nie Jing gripped the saber with both hands, unleashing a powerful upward slash.
"Clouds Parting and Sun Shining!"
The Ghost Head Saber instantly tore the dark cloud to shreds.
CLANG!
Zhang Bei was sent flying back more than ten meters.
Nie Jing charged forward like a meteor, dragging his Ghost Head Saber along the ground as if gathering power.
The moment he neared Zhang Bei, he unleashed a ferocious flash of saber light.
True Qi surged through Zhang Bei’s arms as his black spear transformed into a vicious Black Dragon, stabbing straight for Nie Jing’s chest!
BANG!
Saber and spear collided, and two terrifying streams of True Qi erupted.
"Nie Jing!"
"This time, I won’t lose to you again."
Zhang Bei roared as his black spear spun rapidly, becoming a beam of dark light that shot forward.
Nie Jing sneered, his Ghost-Slaying Saber slashing out relentlessly.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG...!
The two clashed furiously.
Flashes of saber and spear flew wildly, stirring up turbulent waves of air.
No one dared to approach the area where they fought.
Both were Martial Artists at the peak of True Qi Realm Perfection. It was a clash of titans, exceptionally fierce.
On the other side of the battle, however, the numerous County Soldiers and Noble Family Guards were surprisingly being pushed back by the Wuyun Mountain Bandits!
Li Jin sensed something was wrong and looked back.
He saw that the Wuyun Mountain Bandits were fighting with an unusual frenzy, like beasts who had no fear of death.
He personally witnessed a Noble Family Guard sever a Wuyun Mountain Bandit’s arm with a single slash.
But the bandit simply roared and viciously latched onto the Guard’s face with his teeth, refusing to let go.
Seeing this, Li Jin had a bad feeling.
His past impression of bandits was that they were a disorganized mob; they would usually break and scatter once casualties started to mount.
But something seemed very wrong today.
However, he was tied up with the two Black List masters and couldn’t break away.
The battle grew increasingly brutal and bloody.
Corpse after corpse fell, creating a scene like a mountain of bodies in a sea of blood.
Nie Jing had already exchanged over a hundred blows with Zhang Bei.
Relying on his formidable True Qi, he was gradually gaining the upper hand.
He was confident that he could take Zhang Bei’s life in just a few dozen more moves.
Suddenly,
a bizarre chant suddenly echoed from within the mountain stronghold.
"Yellow Springs Saint Mother, deliver me from this sea of suffering."
"Yellow Springs Saint Mother, deliver me from this sea of suffering."
Hearing this chant, Nie Jing’s heart skipped a beat.
Dozens of figures holding yellow flags suddenly rushed out from the stronghold and joined the battle!
These people were all Protectors from the Wangling Sect, and their strength was immense.
Even though there were only a few dozen of them, they instantly turned the tide of the battle.
These Wangling Sect Protectors swung their large flags, Sweeping Thousand Soldiers, and sent County Soldiers and Guards flying.
"The Wangling Sect!"
"Zhang Bei, you dare to collude with the Wangling Sect!"
Nie Jing was furious!
He had never expected people from the Wangling Sect to appear here.
Ever since the Wuyun Bandits had emerged, the Flying Eagle Guards had been investigating them in secret.
Throughout their investigation, they had never found any connection between the Wuyun Bandits and the Wangling Sect.
But unexpectedly, the two groups had long been in league with each other.
"Hahaha!"
"Nie Jing!"
"I don’t mind telling you, the reason I captured Heilin County was to lure you here."
Zhang Bei laughed maniacally.
Nie Jing’s brow furrowed, but he didn’t respond.
Instead, his Ghost Head Saber slashed out with renewed fury, determined to finish Zhang Bei first.
’If I can just take down this bandit chief, there’s still a sliver of hope.’
SWOOSH!
A rotten, deathly-pale hand silently struck at Nie Jing’s back.
Nie Jing’s heart trembled as he sensed the impending crisis. He swung his Ghost Head Saber in an arc behind him to intercept.
BAM!
The palm struck the Ghost Head Saber with immense force.
The force split the skin between Nie Jing’s thumb and forefinger.
"Great Yellow Springs Palm!"
The one who had ambushed Nie Jing was a large, sturdy man with a deathly-pale complexion and long hair.
His palms were wreathed in a foul, corpse-like energy as he struck at Nie Jing relentlessly.
Meanwhile, Zhang Bei also lunged forward to attack.
He gripped his spear with both hands and thrust rapidly, his attack like a dark cloud bearing down on a city, filled with intense killing intent.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG...!
No matter how strong Nie Jing was, he was no match for two opponents at once, and his injuries grew more severe.
PFFT!
A few dozen moves later, a beam of black light stabbed toward him.
Unable to dodge in time, Nie Jing had a bloody hole pierced through his shoulder.
He let out a furious roar and swung his saber with his right hand, slashing viciously at the sturdy man from the Wangling Sect.
The saber light howled, carrying a terrifying Evil Qi.
"Ghost-Slaying!"
The sturdy man hadn’t expected Nie Jing to make such a desperate, all-or-nothing move, and his reaction was a fraction too slow.
SCHLICK!
A head was instantly sent flying.
But at that exact moment, Zhang Bei closed in on Nie Jing. Channeling his True Qi, he slammed his left palm into Nie Jing’s chest!
BANG!
The blow scattered Nie Jing’s True Qi, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His hair disheveled and his mouth full of blood, he roared, "Retreat! I’ll cover the rear!"
With that, he gripped his Ghost Head Saber, his eyes filled with savage fury, and charged murderously toward Zhang Bei.
He was determined to take Zhang Bei down with him.
But Zhang Bei rapidly dodged backward.
’He wasn’t stupid enough to fight a dying man to the death.’
Seeing this, Nie Jing let out a low growl and turned to charge into the main battlefield.
His saber light moved like a dragon as he bulldozed through the enemy ranks, cutting down one Wuyun Bandit after another.
PFFT!
One of the Black List masters fighting Li Jin felt a flash of saber light, thick with the aura of death, streaking toward him. He was just about to dodge back.
But Li Jin seized the opportunity, thrusting his spears out, one after the other.
The Black List master dodged the first spear.
But the second one pierced clean through his chest, sending blood spewing everywhere.
The other Black List master looked panicked and was about to retreat.
But Nie Jing charged him like a wild beast.
"Li Jin!"
"Get everyone out of here!"
Nie Jing roared.
Li Jin gave Nie Jing a firm nod and shouted, "Retreat!"
In that moment, the County Soldiers, Noble Family Guards, and Demon Exterminators all began to fall back.
As for the True Qi masters from the Noble Families, they had seen that the situation was dire and had long since used their Lightweight Skills to flee the battlefield.
The Wuyun Bandits and the crowd of Wangling Sect Protectors naturally gave chase, slaughtering them as they fled.
