The black-clad leader was dumbfounded, his palms numb, and his arms almost felt like they didn't belong to him anymore. Suddenly, his body retreated wildly without hesitation, shouting, "The saber, get me the saber quickly!"

The black-clad men behind him also showed shocked expressions and hurriedly threw several long sabers over.

The leader scrambled to grab one of the long sabers again, retreating wildly for some distance before finally stopping, casting a gaze full of horror at Jiang Shi.

"Star Meteorite Iron!"

The large Wolf Fang Club in the opponent's hand was actually forged from Star Meteorite Iron.

Although Star Meteorite Iron is rare, it is not an exceptionally scarce divine material. Their Holy Sect possesses such items.

However, there are very few who dare to use Star Meteorite Iron as a weapon.

Because the strength of one's physical body determines everything, using this thing with a weak body is akin to seeking death.

But this man, thin as a matchstick, had such a terrifying physical strength.

With one strike, he smashed his own weapon flying.

If he had followed up with another strike just now, wouldn't it mean certain death for him?

For a moment, the leader's face showed a mix of shock and anger.

"Marshal Lu, do you want this man dead or alive?" Jiang Shi asked again.

Lu Zhongshan, on the side, was equally shocked by Jiang Shi's terrifying display.

Melancholic Saber Technique!

The renowned Supreme Ultimate Skill within the Holy Sect was broken by Jiang Shi with just one strike?

Suddenly, he came to his senses and said in a low voice, "Don't kill him, capture him alive. I need to ask him who sent him."

The Holy Sect cannot tolerate traitors within.

"No problem." Jiang Shi nodded.

With a few simple moves, he had already tested the strength of the Martial Saint First Tier.

During their first clash, Jiang Shi had only used the First Realm power of the Red Sun Body Refining Technique.

"Boy, you're too arrogant!" The black-clad leader exclaimed in shock and anger, staring intently at Jiang Shi, "Do you really think that just having a piece of Star Meteorite Iron allows you to disregard others? This world doesn't rely on brute force!"

He raised the long saber in his hand, slicing through the air, producing a sharp sound. In an instant, brilliant lights shone, and he shouted:

"Melancholic Slash!"

Swish, swish, swish!

The long saber swung, releasing brilliant Sword Gangs directly from the saber, slicing through the space like lightning, swiftly heading toward Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi's face showed a hint of surprise.

"Sword Qi!"

Good heavens!

It was his first time encountering such an attack, and he dared not be careless. Taking a deep breath, he pushed the Red Sun Body Refining Technique to its limit, and with a spin of the Wolf Fang Club, he fiercely smashed it toward the incoming Sword Qi.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound was muffled, as one radiant Sword Gang after another exploded in front of him like fireworks, unable to get close.

After continuously smashing seven or eight Sword Gangs in one go, Jiang Shi's body charged forward with vigor, shouting, "Now, taste my move, Heaven and Earth Hammer!"

Whoosh!

The Wolf Fang Club spun, carrying an almost thirty-thousand-pound terrifying force, slamming down fiercely at the black-clad leader.

The leader's face changed slightly. He quickly dodged, but Jiang Shi followed him closely like a fierce beast. The terrifying Wolf Fang Club roared like a violent storm.

The forceful wind alone made one's skin sting, as if caught in a terrifying vortex.

The black-clad man couldn't dodge in time, and had no choice but to roar in fury, urging his body upward to block.

But this encounter caused him to spew blood wildly again, questioning reality itself.

Because Jiang Shi's power had suddenly surged to a whole new level compared to before.

Clang!

Thump!

Not only did the saber in his hand get shattered on the spot, but the terrifying force also acted on his body, sending him crashing to the ground, his knees smashing the stone slabs.

"You..."

The leader was utterly terrified, his arms bloodied, kneeling on the ground, feeling an unprecedented sense of mortal peril from the large Wolf Fang Club pressed upon his shoulder.

This guy...

Was holding back earlier?

What kind of monster is this?

"Heh heh..."

After delivering the strike, Jiang Shi smiled broadly, saying, "This move I created, the 'Heaven and Earth Hammer,' how's its power?"

With eyes flashing fiercely, he suddenly swung his palm out, quick and accurate, with a snap, sending the black-clad man flying seven or eight meters away, crashing into the distance and fainting on the spot.

The remaining black-clad men were terrified, and without thinking, they quickly turned to leave.

Lu Zhongshan, his heart shaken, continued to reassess his estimation of Jiang Shi, suddenly shouting, "Brother Jiang, don't let them get away!"

Jiang Shi had already picked up stones from the ground, throwing them fiercely at the black-clad men.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Screams echoed continuously, as he took down over ninety percent of them.

Yet some managed to escape swiftly, disappearing into the distance in fright.

"Marshal Lu, I've captured the man for you. Has my secret manual been written?" Jiang Shi clapped his hands, turning to say.

"Almost, still writing!" Lu Zhongshan realized, quickly responding.

He held a tree branch, dipped in blood, continuing to write on his clothing.

After a while, he finally stopped.

The entire piece of clothing was covered with densely packed blood-red text, exuding a strange aura.

"Done, everything's written." He panted heavily, coughing up blood again.

Jiang Shi's eyes flickered, slowly walking over and taking the blood-stained clothing to read its contents thoroughly, nodding lightly as he finished.

"Not bad. Shall we go to the base?"

"Sure, let's head to the base first." Lu Zhongshan gasped.

Now targeted by suspected people from the Holy Sect, he dared not linger here any longer. Only by returning to the base could he ensure safety.

Moreover, the origin of that guy must be investigated.

Fortunately, after a night's rest, their horses had mostly recovered.

Under the support of Lu Chengtian, Lu Zhongshan mounted his steed, and the others followed suit, galloping off into the distance.

This gallop lasted an entire day.

During the journey, despite Lu Zhongshan coughing up blood several times, he managed to suppress it each time.

Finally, by dusk, the group returned to the Yi Ming Army's left-wing military base.

To their relief, the base was still in their hands, not yet seized by the enemy during their absence.

Upon their smooth entry into the base, a deputy general hurried over, his face changing color as he exclaimed, "Marshal, what happened to you? General Zhao, you're injured too!"

"No more questions, get that man secured and strictly guarded!" Lu Zhongshan, his face pale, pointed at the black-clad man, "Also, find lodging for this young brother and provide him with any medicinal herbs he needs. Additionally, prepare a secluded spot for Zhao Qing and myself!"

"Yes, Marshal!" the deputy general Zhang Da promptly responded.

He then quickly called for others to make the necessary arrangements.
