On the vast open ground, Li Xuanji and his three companions, wearing masks, used their Lightweight Skill, transforming into four swift black shadows darting forward.

Tonight, there was no moon, and the faint firelight of the Thunderbolt Army couldn't reach that far. Moreover, with Li Xuanji and his companions moving so quickly, the stationed soldiers, lacking strong abilities and with weak eyesight, couldn't detect them yet.

Only when the four drew near did the sentries finally notice them.

Just as they were about to blow the horn, Li Xuanji suddenly exerted force and flicked a stone he had just picked up.

The stone shot through the void, piercing the throat of the sentry.

Blood gushed wildly, and the soldier could no longer sound the horn, his body collapsing, falling to the ground with a thud.

Only then did the scattered attention of the soldiers in the camp become alert.

They shuddered and hurriedly looked outside the camp.

These soldiers weren't strong. Under the torchlight, they saw only four shadows sweeping toward them.

Just as they roused their True Qi, ready to form a battle formation.

Li Xuanji and his companions had already charged among them.

Li Xuanji wielded a dark, dull Profound Iron Saber.

As his figure swept past, five soldiers' heads spun skyward, blood raining down.

Elder Dan Yang was still bare-handed, fully executing the "Circular Disc Bagua Palm."

One palm strike unleashed the whistling Palm Wind.

The soldiers touched by the Palm Wind dropped their weapons, their arm bones shattering, scattering in disarray.

Master Baiyun of the White Lotus Sect used a Finger Technique.

All ten fingers were killing tools.

He dashed forward, tapping relentlessly with ten fingers.

For those nearby, his fingers plunged directly into the soldiers' throats and hearts.

For those further away, a blast of Finger Force from him resulted in sudden bloody holes at the soldiers' throats and chests, blood gushing like springs.

Zhou Heilong picked up two soldiers by the feet, using them as two Copper Hammers.

His towering body, like a descending Demon God, leapt into the crowd of Thunderbolt Army soldiers.

Using the soldiers' heads as Copper Hammers, he smashed into other soldiers.

Once the heads of the soldiers in his hands shattered, he grabbed two more to use as his "Copper Hammers."

In no time, soldiers he passed were either splattered with brain matter or had their chest caved in by him.

The sound of Li Xuanji storming into the camp had already reached Li Tunshan and two Centurions.

Li Tunshan opened his eyes, waking from his meditative state.

He abruptly gathered his True Qi, leapt up, and crashed out of the tent.

Instantly, a large hole broke open in the tent, debris flying.

"Surround and kill them!"

Li Tunshan ordered his troops still ambushed in the tents.

Upon hearing Li Tunshan's order, tents all around broke open one by one.

Three Centurions and over three thousand elite soldiers swarmed out of the tents, rushing to encircle and kill Li Xuanji and his companions!

...

Su Que and Qiu Yu each stood atop a tree, observing the commotion at the Thunderbolt Army camp from a distance.

They first saw Li Xuanji and his companions sweeping through the camp like a hurricane.

Soon after, Li Tunshan and his troops broke out of the tents and encircled Li Xuanji and the others.

It was the first time Su Que had seen Li Tunshan.

This man was recognized as the strongest Martial Artist in Jiannan Prefecture City.

Li Tunshan stood nine feet tall, like a small stone tower.

The upper half of his body was bare, wearing only two pieces of armor.

His bulging muscles were extremely exaggerated, rising like rock formations, seemingly ready to explode the armor.

Though Su Que was also of robust build, his physique and muscles were not as exaggerated, presenting a more natural beauty.

When he donned loose clothing, he merely appeared stronger than the average person.

This was how Su Que had always managed to remain concealed.

Though his muscles weren't as bulky as Li Tunshan's, they were incredibly firm and packed with immense power.

Li Tunshan, even without demonstrating his skills, had a physique and musculature that clearly suggested an enormous inherent strength.

At this moment, Li Tunshan had fully engaged his Golden Bell Shield.

His figure was encased by a transparent bell-shaped shield.

The shield shimmered with golden light, engraved with Buddhist Sect patterns, appearing quite solemn and majestic.

On each of Li Tunshan's thick arms were ten heavy Golden Rings.

The Golden Rings flickered with strands of golden lightning.

Every step he took trembled the ground, either creating a pit or leaving a spider-web-like crack.

Dust swirled beneath his feet, resembling a mist.

He was like a moving mountain, leaping obliquely towards Li Xuanji and his companions!

He swung his two arms, using the Golden Rings on them to strike at Li Xuanji and his companions continuously!

Li Xuanji and his companions dared not be negligent, immediately diverting their attention from other soldiers and focusing solely on battling Li Tunshan.

The four engaged in exchanges with Li Tunshan, trading over a dozen moves in the blink of an eye.

With each collided Technique, the Vigorous Qi unleashed whipped up gusts of fierce wind, sending dust flying everywhere.

After Li Tunshan engaged with the four, two Centurions and elite soldiers also arrived.

One Centurion wielded Double Maces, the other an Xuanhua Axe, attacking Li Xuanji and his companions.

The elite soldiers gradually formed a battle formation around Li Xuanji and his companions.

Li Xuanji and his companions fought while retreating, preventing the formation from closing in.

Right then, Su Que and Qiu Yu exchanged glances, then, with great tacit understanding, their figures flickered, disappearing from the trees, both flying toward the camp!

The Thunderbolt Army's experts were already drawn by Li Xuanji and the others, making it the perfect time for them to act!
