Pa! Pa! Pa!

Throughout the entire forest, a series of loud noises continued to reverberate, each echoing like a thunderclap, causing the surrounding vegetation to snap, and rocks and sand to fly.

Jiang Shi, who was dozens of meters away, frowned deeply, observing everything.

Martial Saint!

This was a clash at the Martial Saint Level.

Judging by its destructive power, it didn't seem as formidable as I had imagined.

Of course, this might be related to Lu Zhongshan being seriously injured.

But the leader of the opposing black-clad people is definitely not strong, not as formidable as Lu Zhongshan was in his prime.

"But their dialogue seems strange. Lu Zhongshan said the other party belongs to the Holy Sect, yet he is loyal to the Holy Sect?"

Jiang Shi vaguely connected the dots, showing a different expression.

Lu Zhongshan has a background too.

Are they backed by a sect?

Why does this sound a bit like the Ming Sect from those TV dramas?

At this moment, the entire forest was in chaos, and the remaining black-clad people were all engaging. The sound of misery quickly erupted.

Poor these soldiers, exhausted and weak, barely broke through the encirclement of thousands, only to die here.

Lu Chengtian supported the severely wounded Zhao Qing, fighting and retreating, with clanging sounds, quickly retreating backward, his face pale, shouting: "Brother Jiang, help!"

"Over there, kill him!"

Soon after, some black-clad people noticed Jiang Shi's direction, shouting fiercely, and soon three of them rushed over without hesitation, raising their sabers to chop.

Jiang Shi frowned, feeling displeased. Originally, he didn't want to meddle, but since Lu Zhongshan owes him the Secret Manual, he had no choice but to intervene.

Whoosh!

Bam!

The sound was dull, and the weapon broke.

In almost an instant, the three black-clad people were sent flying like cannonballs, crashing down several meters away.

The other black-clad people besieging Lu Chengtian and Zhao Qing all changed their expressions.

"There's a martial artist! There's another master here!"

"Get more people! Let's go together!"

The black-clad people in other directions heard the sounds, quickly turning their heads, then leaping towards Jiang Shi's direction without a second thought.

Jiang Shi saw over a dozen black-clad people pouncing wildly towards him, frowning slightly, thinking it was too slow to smash them one by one. He tapped his Wolf Fang Club on the ground, breaking the stones, and grabbed a handful of debris, then hurled them suddenly.

Bam bam bam bam!

Ah!

Miserable screams arose as one after another, the black-clad people who pounced like cannonballs were hit, bodies flying, blood splattering as they crashed into the distance.

In just one encounter, about half of the dozen or so black-clad people who charged were killed.

The remaining black-clad people changed their expressions, their bodies halted, revealing intense fear.

"Martial Saint!"

"There's another Martial Saint here!"

"Retreat quickly!"

They shouted in fear, retreating hurriedly.

Jiang Shi frowned silently.

Could it be that my power is indeed equivalent to a Martial Saint?

The leading black-clad person, who was suppressing Lu Zhongshan and making him continuously spit blood, changed his expression, striking out once more, sending Lu Zhongshan flying back, then taking advantage to retreat, landing in the distance, his eyes staring at Jiang Shi, filled with suspicion.

"Who are you?"

He spoke in a sinister tone.

The intelligence did not mention that Lu Zhongshan had such a master by his side.

"Marshal Lu, Young Master Lu, I've saved you both once again. How should we settle this account?"

Jiang Shi turned back.

"Brother Jiang, as long as we get through this, you can choose any martial arts in the army."

Lu Chengtian hurriedly spoke.

Lu Zhongshan also nodded solemnly, panting, "What Chengtian says, I also say."

He still stared fiercely at the leading black-clad person, rapidly pondering the other's identity.

It is now certain that the other party is not acting on orders from the Holy Sect; definitely, someone else wants to put their father and son to death.

A traitor appeared within the Holy Sect!

"Is that so."

Jiang Shi nodded, saying, "That works too, but I don't want other martial arts. Just find me the Body Refining martial arts used in the army, and some coordinating herbs."

"Okay, Lu won't go back on his word."

Lu Zhongshan spoke again.

"Kid, who are you exactly?"

The leading black-clad person flew into a rage.

"Marshal Lu, what is this person's strength? Does he have a significant background?"

Jiang Shi was uneasy, asking once more.

"Martial Saint First Tier, if I hadn't been injured, killing him would be like slaughtering a chicken! Don't worry, he's definitely just a nobody!"

Lu Zhongshan spoke in a deep voice.

He had used the Blood Forbidden Secret Technique in actual combat, burning one-third of his blood energy, injuring his core, making it difficult to fully recover in a short time, which is why he was subdued by the other side.

"Martial Saint First Tier!"

Jiang Shi looked stern, once again glancing at the opponent.

"Kid, daring to meddle in this matter, are you trying to get yourself killed?"

The leading man in black shouted fiercely.

Jiang Shi gently shook his head and said, "Lu Zhongshan still owes me something, you can't lay a finger on him."

Suddenly, he paused his voice, once again looking at Lu Zhongshan and said, "Marshal Lu, there are plenty of materials on the ground right now, take off your clothes, dip in some fresh blood, and write me the Barbarian Elephant Divine Skill immediately!"

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Although there's no pen or ink right now, words can also be written with blood.

First, get what you need before discussing other matters.

Lu Zhongshan looked at the corpses all over the ground, his expression changing, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll write it for you now, Chengtian, quickly help me prepare!"

On one side, Lu Chengtian's face turned pale, but he didn't dare refuse, hurriedly pulling off clothes from a body, using a branch to dip in fresh blood, and handed it to Lu Zhongshan.

The leading man in black witnessed all this, finding it more and more absurd, unwilling to delay further, he flashed his body and directly rushed towards Jiang Shi swiftly.

"Where did this lunatic come from, go die!"

Whoosh!

He struck out with a palm straight ahead, the thick Protective Gang Qi forming something like a turtle shell, tightly guarding his body.

Jiang Shi's eyes narrowed, not using the Wolf Fang Club immediately, but instead, his entire palm quickly turned red and hot, his aura surging violently, meeting the strike directly with a palm hit.

Bang!

A loud noise echoed all around. Countless fragments of stone and leaves flew chaotically.

After one move, the two bodies shook, and they both unexpectedly staggered back.

Jiang Shi felt a numbness in his palm, shaking his arm, looking at his palm, and said, "Impressive! But my power can indeed contend with a Martial Saint."

"You... Outer Sect Palm Technique, is this Outer Sect Palm Technique?"

The leading man in black showed a look of shock, gazing at Jiang Shi incredulously.

To cultivate an Outer Sect Palm Technique to such a degree, it's simply monstrous.

Even his Protective Gang Qi couldn't do anything against the opponent.

Jiang Shi revealed a smile, raised his head, and said, "Lu Zhongshan is mine now, you all, step aside immediately!"

"Insolent!"

The leading man in black spoke gloomily, "You even dare to meddle in the matters of the Holy Sect, kid, do you know what the Black Lotus Sect signifies?"

"Never heard of it, I only know Lu Zhongshan owes me something!"

Jiang Shi shook his head.

"Since you're courting death, I'll fulfill your wish, bring the saber!"

The leading man in black grabbed with a big hand and shouted.

Someone behind immediately threw a large black saber swiftly, landing in the leading man's palm.

Gripping the long saber, the aura around the leading man in black suddenly started changing, his eyes cold, his breath sharp, as if he was no longer a person, but a giant celestial saber, radiating an edge.

"Kid, let me show you what happens when you offend the Holy Sect!"

He held the long saber, suddenly lifting it high, letting out a loud shout, "Melancholic Infinite Seven Star Slash!"

The entire long saber suddenly lit up with dazzling rays of light, burning bright, and amidst these splendid rays of light, seven peculiar black circles appeared.

The seven black circles roamed back and forth, as if possessing life.

More strange was that this kind of black halo directly brought about a peculiar emotional impact, making people feel infinite sorrow, infinite grief, infinite despair, as if no will to hold any thought.

"Melancholic Saber Technique!"

Lu Zhongshan's face changed instantly.

Below Super Grade martial arts, the Holy Sect's number one saber!

"Brother Jiang, be careful!"

He shouted loudly.

Swish!

The leading man in black flashed his body, sweeping past with an incredibly fast speed, countless brilliant light scattered from the blade, confusing people's vision, as the true long saber already chopped down, fiercely aiming at Jiang Shi's forehead.

Clang!

A piercing sound rang out abruptly echoing all around.

Like a great bell collided hard.

The entire long saber had just descended, then flew horizontally at once, as if slammed by a mountain, landed more than ten meters away.

The leading man in black was astounded, his palm bloodied and empty.

"What saber?"

After Jiang Shi swung his club, he asked suspiciously.
