The five dark shadows that darted out were Li Xuanji and his companions.

Among these five, apart from Li Xuanji and Master Baiyun, the other three had blood at the corners of their mouths.

Just a moment ago, when they rushed into the tent together, Li Tunshan was practicing his skills.

The five saw it was the perfect opportunity, their eyes lit up simultaneously, and they launched a sneak attack without hesitation.

They struck with all their might, creating a mighty momentum.

Li Tunshan quickly became aware of them.

However, because of their close proximity, when the five attacked, Li Tunshan had no time to dodge.

Thus, he could only swiftly engage the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt, his horizontal training techniques.

Immediately, a golden light emanated from his body, and his originally coiled muscles suddenly swelled, making him appear larger.

Bam!

Due to the short time in gathering his power, the Golden Bell Shield was not fully activated.

The Golden Bell Shield covering Li Tunshan's body was only a thin layer.

The attacks of the five instantly broke through this layer, causing the golden light to shatter and scatter.

Their attacks then solidly landed on Li Tunshan's back.

The power of their assault was exceptionally formidable.

In the sneak attack's aftermath, Li Tunshan was severely injured, his face turning deathly pale, and he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.

Li Xuanji and his companions felt elated upon seeing this.

If Li Tunshan was severely injured, as long as they continued their assault, they could kill Li Tunshan before anyone else arrived!

However, what they hadn't expected was that after being wounded, Li Tunshan used the force from the five's attack, launching himself forward on the bed.

After leaping seven feet ahead, his hands suddenly struck down on a wooden box.

The wooden box was pierced with two large holes by his fists.

When his hands emerged from the box, they were holding two dark Profound Iron Rods.

Each Profound Iron Rod had ten Golden Rings attached.

Afterwards, he suddenly lifted the Profound Iron Rods upwards.

With a clang, ten Golden Rings on each side slid off the rods, hanging on his muscular, vein-bulging arms.

He discarded the Profound Iron Rods and infused the Golden Rings with True Qi, immediately causing golden lightning to flicker on the rings.

These twenty Golden Rings were the exotic soldiers "Golden Thunder Rings."

Exotic soldiers are weapons forged from rare, precious metals with exceptional effects.

In the crafting of the "Golden Thunder Rings," a metal called "Thunder Pattern Gold" was incorporated.

Infusing this metal with substantial True Qi can elicit the lightning power contained within.

With the Golden Thunder Rings equipped, Li Tunshan immediately used the Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist learned from the Great Buddha Temple, striking at Li Xuanji and his companions.

The sound of Qi force colliding was continuous.

In just a moment, Li Tunshan exchanged several moves with the five.

The Golden Thunder Rings were not only heavy but emitted lightning, causing numbness and piercing pain, greatly reducing one's mobility.

Since his battle with the mysterious Gui Risheng, Li Tunshan had leveraged numerous connections and resources to acquire Golden Thunder Rings from the Court's Armory to slow down body technique speed.

The lightning of the Golden Thunder Rings was just one of its formidable traits.

Another powerful aspect of the Golden Thunder Rings was their immense weight.

Combined with the wide, powerful swings of the Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist.

Getting hit was like being struck by a small mountain.

Li Xuanji and his companions found it difficult each time they exchanged blows with Li Tunshan.

Li Xuanji and Master Baiyun, being strong, fared better despite the numbing pain in their veins and flesh after a few exchanges with Li Tunshan, their injuries were minor.

However, the others, who were weaker, were injured to varying degrees by Li Tunshan after just a couple of moves, blood trickling from their mouths.

Li Xuanji and his group's hearts secretly grew anxious, initially confident they could kill Li Tunshan, they hadn't anticipated he possessed such exotic soldiers.

Exotic soldiers are commonly found among the Central Plains Liang Royal Family, major sects, and noble families.

They hadn't expected that Li Tunshan, a general in a Prefecture City of the Southern Domain, could also possess exotic soldiers.

Nevertheless, despite having exotic soldiers, Li Tunshan was still heavily injured, and using his power only worsened his condition.

Realizing he couldn't kill these five thieves, he immediately used the force of their attacks to turn and break through the tent.

"Form an array! Surround them for me!"

After breaking through the tent, Li Tunshan saw his subordinates swarming in and shouted loudly.

Then he twisted his body, suddenly turning around, intending to hold off the five behind him to buy time for his men to set up an array formation.

"Join me, we can kill this Li Tunshan!"

Li Xuanji gritted his teeth and shouted.

In recent days, he had begun cultivating the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill.

He hadn't used it earlier because he believed they could quickly kill Li Tunshan after the sneak attack.

However, the situation turned out to be different.

After all, once the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill is activated, it sets one on an irreversible path to death.

Within the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill lies the concept of the "Twenty-Seven Limits."

It's not that every cultivator will die at twenty-seven.

Instead, it means that once the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill is used, one won't live much longer.

Cultivators with weaker constitutions may die quickly; the stronger ones might survive a few more years.

While Li Xuanji claims to be unafraid of death, he always hesitates at the thought of using the skill.

Seeing that if he didn't activate it, tonight's assassination would fail, he decisively decided to use his power.

However, as soon as he leapt out of the tent,

Master Baiyun from the White Lotus Sect immediately shouted:

"We can't succeed tonight, let's go!"

With that, he fled.

Black Dragon Village's Village Chief Zhou Heilong also used Lightweight Skill to flee with Master Baiyun.

They were old foxes, cunning and decisive, far beyond the capability of someone young like Li Xuanji.
