"Great Dragon Saint Master, the governor said, after killing you, your heart belongs to me!"

The black-haired giant shadow laughed bizarrely.

Then, with both hands, he raised a black iron axe the size of a door, veins bulging all over his body, power gathering, and he fiercely chopped towards the back of the Great Dragon Saint Master's neck.

In the distance.

Inside some inns, many people watched with a chill in their eyes, fists clenched instantly.

In the crowd, a few figures felt a pang in their hearts and wanted to rush out.

But when they saw Meng Fang on the high platform, with a cold face and holding the Phoenix Wing Golden Halberd, their hearts immediately turned cold, and they forcibly held back.

Thud!

Blood sprayed uncontrollably, really like a fountain.

A head the size of a water tank rolled off the execution platform, landing with a thud, shaking the ground as if in a slight tremor.

From the neck, countless streams of blood sprayed uncontrollably, dyeing the black-haired giant's body crimson.

"Hahahahaha..."

The black-haired giant laughed madly, basking in the blood spray; the deafening sound and terrifying image scared everyone, causing their hearts to convulse.

Soon!

Several Iron Asuras dragged two children and a woman over.

The woman, seeing the beheaded Great Dragon Saint Master, cried like a pear blossom in the rain, her body limp, as if she were like mud.

Just when the black-haired giant showed a fierce smile, raised his giant axe, and prepared to strike at the woman and the two children, someone in the crowd couldn't hold back.

Several shouts rang out, echoing through this land like muffled thunder.

Then, three or four streams of light flew through the crowd at incredible speed, heading directly to the execution platform rapidly.

Moreover, someone had already thrown hidden weapons, hitting the giant axe with a clang, causing the black-haired giant to retreat continuously, angrily roaring.

Several beams of light lightning-fast reached the execution platform, immediately grabbing the two children and the woman, turning around to leave.

The Great Dragon Saint Master was heavily injured and chained, unable to be rescued, but the children and woman weren't chained; they had to risk everything to try.

"People really came... pity, only a few ants."

Meng Fang muttered, then picked up the black weapon beside him, taking a gentle step forward, as if shrinking the ground to an inch, with extremely terrifying power, instantly chasing after those figures through the crowd.

But at this moment!

Suddenly, from the houses and inns on both sides, people threw large amounts of explosives, fiercely hurling them into the crowd, creating chaos and explosions everywhere.

Uncertain how many Jianghu figures and spectators were blown dead in an instant.

Their aim wasn't to kill many Iron Asuras, but to create further chaos for the rescue of the two Young Masters.

The Iron Asuras were clad in iron armor, wrapped from head to toe, not just surviving explosives, even a full-strength Martial Saint strike couldn't kill them.

Boom boom boom boom...

Explosions sounded, a deafening roar, shaking the earth and mountains.

The entire crowd instantly fell into chaos.

Even a few burning explosives were thrown directly at Jiang Shi, but Jiang Shi hit them flying with his club, exploding in the air.

The street instantly turned into pandemonium, countless people fled with their heads in their hands, limbs flying everywhere.

Nevertheless, Iron Asura lived up to its name.

Amid the chaos, they remained still, coldly gazing, their breath steady, like Iron Mountain, letting explosives fall on them without even blinking.

Soon, a vice commander issued orders, and many Iron Asuras began to move, stepping out in unison, making heavy rumbling sounds, like a steel torrent, pushing into the crowd.

No matter how chaotic the crowd, they pushed straight through, indifferent, trampling to death anyone who couldn't dodge in time.

As if those before them were no longer humans.

But... straw!

Ah!

Continuous screams rang out, blood mist splattered, horrifyingly gruesome.

Uncertain how many people were trampled to death alive.

"Damn it, let's go!"

Jiang Shi's face was angry, continuously swinging his wolf fang club, constantly knocking away incoming explosives.

Unfortunately, his steed was frightened, neighing continuously, jumping repeatedly.

Moreover, with the surrounding crowd in chaos, various goods piled up together, making a breakthrough impossible in a short time.

Eventually, Jiang Shi dismounted, personally intervening, grabbing and randomly tossing blocking Jianghu figures, scattering them everywhere.

A group of bandits followed suit, drawing knives and slashing wildly.

A hard-won escape from the chaotic crowd, they finally broke out.

As for those who escaped slowly, either the explosives killed them, or they were trampled into meat paste by Iron Asuras.

"Where's the transaction location, go there first."

Jiang Shi's face was gloomy.

Almost his horse was blown to death, really damn it!

"The Xuanyuan Sect is in the North City Land, just go from here."

Gongsun Yi pointed at the road ahead and spoke.

Jiang Shi immediately urged his warhorse forward.

The bandits around him were driving ox carts, following along.

···

Half an hour later.

In a spacious courtyard.

A group of bandits finally drove seven or eight ox carts into this place.

An elder from the Xuanyuan Sect, wearing a yellow long robe, personally inspected the goods with his people, while two other elders, with smiles on their faces, invited Jiang Shi, Gongsun Yi, and the others into the guest rooms.

"It's truly a hardship that the Eldest Master had to personally run a delivery this time."

One elder said with a smile, looking at Gongsun Yi.

"Elder Zhou, you're courteous. I am no longer the Eldest Master. Moreover, regarding what you promised us last time, we intend to change it slightly."

Gongsun Yi spoke calmly.

The two elders were slightly stunned, looking at Gongsun Yi, seemingly not yet understanding.

"This is our new master. The master needs some Horizontal Training Secret Manuals and special medicinal herbs. I hope you can satisfy these needs."

Gongsun Yi spoke.

The two elders were even more surprised, quickly turning their gazes to Jiang Shi.

A new master?

The fact that the leader of Black Cloud Stronghold could change just like that.

Originally, Gongsun Yi was already exceptionally difficult to deal with. Could it be that this new leader is even stronger?

"You two rest assured, I will not ask for things that are too expensive. I have written some items on these papers. You can trade according to this list."

Jiang Shi, wearing a black cloak, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Elder Zhou.

Elder Zhou found it unbelievable, yet still took the paper and began to look it over.

"Alright, no problem. Although there are a few extremely rare medicinal herbs listed, our Xuanyuan Sect can still acquire them. As for the Horizontal Training Secret Manuals, our Xuanyuan Sect indeed has a few copies stored, which we can transcribe for you."

Elder Zhou spoke.

"Then I trouble the Elder to do it quickly."

Jiang Shi said.

Elder Zhou nodded gently and immediately went over with those by his side.

Even after they had completely left, their hearts remained inexplicably peculiar.

···

In the blink of an eye, more than another hour had passed.

Elder Zhou and the others returned, leading a large group of disciples with all the medicinal herbs Jiang Shi needed.

As for the Horizontal Training Secret Manuals he required, Elder Zhou also had four copies transcribed.

But after viewing these four manuals one by one, Jiang Shi frowned directly and showed a look of slight regret.

"What's the matter, Eldest Master, are these manuals not to your liking?"

Elder Zhou asked.

"Does the Xuanyuan Sect only have these manuals? No other Horizontal Training Secret Manuals?"

Jiang Shi inquired.

"Indeed, these are all we have."

Elder Zhou replied.

"Then forget it, I won't take these manuals. Just replace them with some Entering Strength Pills for me."

Jiang Shi said.

He had practiced all four of these Horizontal Training Secret Manuals.

As he expected, ordinary Horizontal Training Secret Manuals on the continent are probably ones he has almost practiced completely.

"This... very well."

Elder Zhou agreed reluctantly.

He took the four manuals out, and soon exchanged them for four bottles of Entering Strength Pills for Jiang Shi, totaling 76 pills.

Jiang Shi did not linger any longer, and once the goods were in hand, he immediately led the band of bandits to depart.

···

On the way back.

Jiang Shi and his group deliberately chose a different route to detour, taking an extra hour, yet they could still feel the chaos within the entire city, with a faint scent of blood and a sense of unease looming all around.

Everywhere there were unfamiliar Jianghu figures, gathering in groups of three or five, discussing animatedly.

Moreover, there were a large number of Hengzhou Army soldiers searching everywhere, seemingly trying to find the person who had planted the explosives earlier.

The entire Yuanlong City felt like a storm was brewing.

It could be imagined that after today, the entire Great Xuan would be in an uproar.

And as one of the ten Dragon Vein branches, Black Cloud Mountain was destined not to remain peaceful···
