"Sssss—Sssss—", the sharp sound was like a giant serpent flicking its tongue, the surrounding air was torn apart by this immense force, with visible waves of energy surging out from the center, "Whoosh—Whoosh—", the whistling sound swept through the valley like a gale.

Zhao Wuchang had no time to react further, as his long sword was shattered into pieces by the impact of this powerful force with a "crack". Fragments of the blade shot out like hidden weapons in all directions, piercing deeply into the surrounding tree trunks and ground with several "thud" sounds.

Almost simultaneously, Shi Feiyang's figure ghostly approached Zhao Wuchang abruptly. His movements were as fast as lightning, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind, "whoosh" — like an arrow leaving the bowstring. He saw one claw directly grab at Zhao Wuchang's throat, his five fingers spread open, resembling a fierce eagle descending from the sky to capture its prey in one strike. Zhao Wuchang instinctively wanted to dodge.

But the speed and power of Shi Feiyang's claw were so astonishing that he had no chance to escape.

"Crack—", a dull and chilling sound resonated, much like a sturdy ancient wood being split by lightning, Zhao Wuchang's neck, under Shi Feiyang's iron claw, was snapped like a fragile withered branch.

His body first stiffened abruptly, then slowly fell, landing heavily on the ground with a "thud", stirring up a cloud of murky dust.

Shi Feiyang's gaze was stern as he looked at the fallen enemy, his chest heaving violently, the fierce fire of anger for rescuing Yili finally slightly subsided, but in his mind, there was still only one thought: confirm if Yili was safe.

Yili stood aside, witnessing Shi Feiyang maneuvering like a War God amidst the enemy crowd, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.

At first, she harbored suspicion and resentment towards Shi Feiyang, but now, watching him risk his life to showcase such heroic and fearless posture for her, the ice sealed long in her heart began to quietly melt.

Her eyes widened round, filled with surprise and shock, and tears of emotion welled up in her eyes, while at the same time, a trace of guilt quietly germinated in her heart. Her lips trembled slightly, wanting to say something but unable to due to the overwhelming complexity of her emotions.

She couldn't help but silently reflect, perhaps she had truly misunderstood him.

Shi Feiyang turned his head and immediately saw Yili safe and sound, his previously taut nerves instantly relaxed.

He strode towards Yili with large steps, his pace swift and determined, bringing along the sound of wind whistling "whoosh whoosh".

His eyes were full of concern, and his voice was slightly hoarse yet filled with deep emotion as he asked, "Are you okay?"

These four short words carried his deep worry and endless concern for Yili.

At this moment, it seemed that the whole world was left with only Yili's safety.

Yili looked at Shi Feiyang, her eyes gleaming with tears, just about to speak.

Shi Feiyang's expression suddenly turned serious, as he sharply sensed a subtle movement nearby.

He turned to look, only to see Nun Chixia leading her two other beloved disciples, Liao Ran and Ruo Ran, approaching quickly.

Nun Chixia was dressed in a gray monk robe, her posture upright, with traces of time left on her face, yet it could not conceal the sharpness and determination in her eyes.

Liao Ran and Ruo Ran, two pretty little nuns, closely followed.

Their faces were delicate, expressions solemn, holding long swords tightly in their hands, exuding an aura of heroism around them.

As it turned out, after Yili left the Hengshan Sect cottage, Nun Chixia always felt something was amiss.

She was meticulous by nature and sensed that this matter was far from just what's on the surface, so she secretly began investigations.

Upon discovering Liu Tingting's conspiracy, she decisively decided to lead Hengshan Sect disciples down the mountain to help Shi Feiyang prove his innocence.

Shi Feiyang was slightly taken aback seeing Nun Chixia and others, then gratitude appeared on his face. He clasped his hands respectfully and said, "Thank you, Nun, for coming to assist."

Nun Chixia nodded slightly, scanning the battlefield's mess, and said solemnly, "Old Nun has already learned of Liu Tingting's vile acts. This time coming down the mountain is to lend you a helping hand, her conspiracy must not succeed."

Yili was both surprised and moved seeing Nun Chixia. She quickly stepped forward, and said, "Master, you..."

Nun Chixia raised her hand and gently patted Yili's shoulder, warmly saying, "Child, this master knows you suffered grievances. Now is not the time to talk about these things, the urgent task is to resolve the present crisis."

Shi Feiyang looked at Nun Chixia, earnestly saying, "The nun's words are very true. Liu Tingting has colluded with the Shadow Alliance, attempting to seize the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, to enhance their power and dominate the Jianghu. We must quickly devise a strategy, not letting their conspiracy succeed."

His gaze was firm, revealing his determination towards this battle.

Nun Chixia frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Old Nun has already gathered some intelligence on Liu Tingting's and the Shadow Alliance's forces on the way here. They are well-prepared this time, we must not take it lightly."

As she spoke, she paced slowly, her gaze sweeping over everyone's face one by one.

Shi Feiyang nodded in agreement, and said, "Rest assured, Nun, I have arranged for various heroes to each perform their own duties. Wu Zhong is in charge of guarding the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, Miss Xiao and her team are tasked with monitoring Liu Tingting, Brother Xie is scouting the Shadow Alliance's movements in the woods. However, Liu Tingting's Holy Water Divine Skill and Divine Water Swordsmanship are very formidable, we need a long-term plan." His expression was serious as he detailed the current situation to Nun Chixia.
