Some reacted swiftly, instantly gripping their weapons, their eyes sharp like hawks, cautiously scanning the surroundings, leaving no corner unnoticed for any lurking danger; some rubbed their sleepy eyes, still not fully awakened from their dreams, their faces showing a hint of confusion and bewilderment; others appeared solemn, brows furrowed, seemingly foreseeing the imminent bloodshed, keenly aware that a great battle was about to erupt.
Under the Helan Mountain, the cold Mid-Autumn moonlight cast a silver glow, and the howling mountain wind raged like the cries of ghosts and wolves, setting the stage for a blood-curdling and thrilling battle.
Yili witnessed the scene, her beautiful eyes widened, unable to contain her voice as she exclaimed, "People from the Divine Sword Manor! They are from the Divine Sword Manor."
Having roamed the Jianghu for a year and a half, Yili had weathered countless storms, her eyes razor-sharp like an eagle, she instantly and accurately discerned the opponent's origin, her voice carrying a tinge of surprise and gravity.
Lin Wanqing, without hesitation, instantly drew her sword from its sheath, its cold light flickering like a beam of chilly moonlight.
She raised her sword, pointing at a familiar figure, her eyes full of contempt, spat: "Toad, still not aware of your impending doom? Hmph!"
Her voice carried disdain and anger.
Zhao Qingfeng, Qian Wanying, Lin Yufeng, Xiang Kun, Xie Wen, Wu Zhong, Xiao Lingling, and others hurriedly surrounded the provisions, fully aware of Shi Feiyang's martial arts prowess, knowing Shi Feiyang's martial arts are transcendent, facing these aggressive killers, Shi Feiyang has his means to defeat them, they only need Shi Feiyang to face them, while their task is to guard the provisions.
Although Gong Simeng felt a subtle pressure due to Yili's presence, seeing the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger guard her loyally, her heart was filled with comfort.
This meant the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, these two Auspicious Beasts, had regarded her as family, as Shi Feiyang's family.
She held Little Yu Yan, calmly observing the battle, her eyes showing composure and calmness. She knew well that with the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger around, no one could harm her and Little Yu Yan in the slightest, this sense of security stemming from the Auspicious Beast's protection made Gong Simeng exceptionally calm.
Xie Zhichuan stood at the center of the Sword Array, surrounded by a chilling coldness. He spoke coldly, his voice deep and hoarse, every word sounding like it squeezed through his teeth, brimming with endless hatred and resolution.
With the eerie howling wind in the mountains, his voice spread far, echoing in the valley, lingering for long.
As he spoke, his hands involuntarily gripped the sword handle, his knuckles turning white from the force, resembling frost in winter, the veins on his arms slightly bulging, like lurking snakes, showing his extreme anger and excitement.
"Shi Feiyang, today marks your doom!" Xie Zhichuan's voice echoed in the night wind, filled with determination and hatred, "You forced my father Xie Luo Jia to take his life with a sword, this deep blood feud, I must settle today!"
As soon as the words fell, Xie Zhichuan swiftly waved his hand, clean and decisive, as if cutting off all ties. He took the lead, activating the Life-taking Thirteen Sword Array rapidly. Xie Zhichuan and others employed the "Back Wind Captures Moon" technique, lunging at Shi Feiyang.
This time, joining forces, seven hundred people struck, their sword shadows flashing like moonlight, carrying immense power, enveloping towards Shi Feiyang.
Their sword moves were vicious and fierce, each swing accompanied by a whistling wind, seemingly to shred everything before them to powder.
Where the sword wind reached, the air was sliced by the blades, emitting a piercing "hiss" sound.
The sword light poured down like mercury, invincible, seemingly slicing through even time, leaving nowhere to escape.
The entire valley seemed to be enveloped by this Sword Qi, the air filled with a suffocating tension.
Xie Zhichuan's eyes flashed with determined light, every action charged with strength and resolve.
He knew well that today's battle was not only for revenge but also to cleanse family shame, letting his father's heroic spirit rest in peace. He swore to make Shi Feiyang pay dearly, to show everyone that the Xie Family's dignity is inviolable.
Shi Feiyang's hands moved slightly, his motion not fully unfolding, he was met with the turnback strike of the Life-taking Thirteen Sword Array.
The fierce Sword Qi burst towards him like a storm, as if countless sharp daggers, wanting to slice him into a thousand pieces.
Xie Zhichuan's sword tip aimed straight at Shi Feiyang's throat, his eyes brimming with killing intent, like a hungry wolf fixed on prey, ready to launch a fatal strike at any moment.
At the heart of the battlefield, Shi Feiyang instantly activated the ninth realm of the Bright Jade Technique—the Infinite Asura.
In a flash, endless coldness erupted from his entire body, like a chilling flow released from a polar ice abyss, rapidly condensing the surrounding air into a thick layer of frost, glistening under the moonlight with a chilling glow.
In an instant, all sword tips aimed at Shi Feiyang were swirled by the powerful vortex of True Qi emanating from Shi Feiyang's Bright Jade Technique, unable to approach Shi Feiyang's body by a fraction.
Then, Shi Feiyang made a decisive move, executing the "Dragon Stepping Seven Moves" from the Divine Dragon Claw Divine Technique, simultaneously drawing the Myanmar Saber at his waist, performing the Hundred Victories Saber Technique, instantly engaging the seven hundred-man Sword Array.
In a breath, a majestic power from ancient times erupted from his body, seemingly ready to dominate the world. With the first step, Shi Feiyang's left foot stepped forward with world-creating force, akin to an ancient dragon awakening and displaying its majestic claw.
