Boom!

Zhao Wude flew backward, crashing into a tree, with multiple bones breaking in his body.

"Mr. Zhao!"

"Damn it, form the formation!"

Qiao Spring shouted loudly.

Everything had happened so fast that he couldn't even react.

At the instant the voice rang out, ten elite soldiers, who were already prepared, quickly formed a micro military formation.

The moment the formation was completed, the essence, qi, and spirit of the ten soldiers merged into one, releasing a special energy that concentrated on Qiao Spring.

This energy entered his body, replacing the function of qi blood and becoming a backup energy source for his body.

Qiao Spring's aura rapidly increased, soon breaking through the limits of the Qi Blood Realm, but just barely.

Lin Zheyu glanced at Qiao Spring and grinned, rushing towards the critically wounded Zhao Wude.

With a splat, the silver-white blade light flashed, and Zhao Wude's head slid off his neck.

Blood splattered out.

"Young master, run! I'll hold him off!"

"This guy is very strong, he might have reached the Qi Blood Realm!" Qiao Spring shouted loudly.

The masked man before him possessed terrifying strength; even with the military formation's support, he had no confidence to contend with him.

Squeak squeak

At this moment, a Wind-chasing Grey Mink dashed out from the bushes, running into a middle-aged man's arms.

The Wind-chasing Grey Mink squeaked, waving its paw towards Lin Zheyu.

"Young master, this man is Lin Zheyu!" the middle-aged man spoke out.

"Lin Zheyu!"

"How is this possible? He's only in the Bone Forging Realm; how could he kill Mr. Zhao."

Xing Jinglong was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Everything had happened too quickly, so fast that he hadn't even reacted before Zhao Wude was dead.

Killed instantly by the Lin Zheyu before him.

Zhao Wude was at the peak of Refining Internal Organs, only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Qi Blood Realm.

"How could this be discovered?"

"Is there still some lingering aura on me?"

Lin Zheyu was surprised; since he was discovered, there was no need to keep hiding.

The twenty who chased after him were all weak and could be easily dealt with.

All those who saw his face today must die!

"Mr. Xing, what a coincidence meeting you here."

Lin Zheyu removed the cloth covering his face, looking at Xing Jinglong with a semi-smile.

The blade in his hand reflected a chilling gleam.

"It's really you!"

"How is this possible? You're only in the Bone Forging Realm. No matter how much of a genius you are, how could you possibly have such strength after cultivating for such a short time!"

Xing Jinglong looked, incredulous, at the familiar face ahead.

"Young master, go!"

"Quickly ride back to Songyi City, and you'll be safe!"

Qiao Spring cautiously guarded against Lin Zheyu, shouting loudly when he saw Xing Jinglong standing frozen in place.

But Xing Jinglong remained unmoved, staring at Lin Zheyu, somewhat bewitched.

The Qi Blood Realm, this guy is in the Qi Blood Realm!

"The military formation is indeed magical!"

Lin Zheyu looked towards Qiao Spring, sensing the Qi Blood Realm qi blood emanating from him, unable to help but admire.

From the start, he had been watching Qiao Spring and the ten soldiers behind him.

If he wanted, he could have dealt with Qiao Spring before he even reacted.

But Lin Zheyu didn't.

He wanted to see just how powerful the military formation was.

Senior Brother Han Mo had told him before that with a hundred elite soldiers, he could easily crush martial artists in the Qi Blood Realm; even against a Bone Marrow Cultivation expert, he would dare to charge head-on.

But that was with a hundred elite soldiers.

The military formation made up of just ten soldiers could only deal with martial artists below the Qi Blood Realm; against a true Qi Blood Realm expert, it was not enough.

"I see."

"By using the military formation, the soldiers' essence, qi, and spirit are linked as one, and this essence, qi, and spirit combines with the soldiers' murderous aura, merging into a special energy."

"This energy is infused into the leading commander through the military formation, replacing the function of qi blood, allowing the commander to possess the strength of the Qi Blood Realm in a different form."

"Extraordinary, truly extraordinary."

Lin Zheyu grew more amazed as he watched.

But he still couldn't discern how the military formation linked the soldiers' essence, qi, and spirit with their murderous aura into this special energy.
