"It's no use. The Dragon King does not take kindly to traitors. By doing this, you're essentially betraying Fiery Bird!" Xuan Long spoke in a heavy tone.

Fiery Bird was taken aback for a moment before speaking sarcastically, "If he lacks even that much magnanimity, how can he lead you to become greater and stronger?"

"Hmph, you clearly do not understand the Dragon King. What he despises most are people like you who abandon their brothers. He will never accept you because you only care about yourself and have never cared about the brothers from Fiery Bird who fought to the death with you!" Xuan Long retorted coldly.

Fiery Bird was stunned. He hadn't expected that what truly condemned him was the fact that he hadn't included the others from Fiery Bird when begging for mercy.

"No more nonsense with him. What he just said might not be entirely false. If there really are four Paladin Knights surrounding the Dragon King, the Dragon King and Snake Woman won't last long!" Yan Mo spoke in a grave voice.

A look of urgency flashed across Xuan Long's eyes as he dashed towards Fiery Bird.

Meanwhile, as soon as Fiery Bird first cried out that someone was ambushing Jiang Chen, Spirit You had already rushed towards a nearby mountainside.

"Spirit You!"

Below the mountainside, Feng Lang and others met with Spirit You, who urgently said, "The chief instructor might be surrounded by four Innate Grandmasters. We need to hurry over there!"

The expressions of Feng Lang and the others changed drastically. They shouted loudly, "All captains head to the valley front, everybody else follow the plan and proceed to support the back of the valley!"

"Yes!"

Whoosh, whoosh!

Feng Lang and the others didn't delay any further, sprinting towards the mountainside. A fierce battle was raging in the valley, and they needed to go around the mountainside to reach the front.

On the other side, according to plan, Feng Lang and his team supported the back of the valley, Chen Jiantao and his team supported the front, and Snake Woman and Xuan Long would keep an eye on wherever Fiery Bird charged.

After Chen Jiantao and his team pushed down the large rocks from the mountainside and fought for a while, once most of the Fiery Bird Mercenary Corps had begun moving along the mountainside, they led their team towards the valley front.

"Captain, the Dragon King went that way; there must be enemies coming!" Fire Cannon shouted loudly to Chen Jiantao upon his arrival, pointing in the direction that Jiang Chen had left.

"All Long Ya captains, follow me! Everyone else, follow the commands of Captain Long Yan!" Chen Jiantao's pupils constricted as he called out followed by dashing towards the direction indicated by Fire Cannon.

Fire Cannon and God of Wealth hurriedly followed.

Three miles from the valley, five figures separated after an intense battle, with Mu Si and his team surrounding Jiang Chen in the center.

"Dragon King, I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable!" Mu Si spoke with an unsightly expression, glancing worriedly towards the direction of the valley.

Jiang Chen said indifferently, "There's no need to look. The battle in the valley should be drawing to a close now!"

"Hmph! Do you really think Xuan Long alone can hold back Fiery Bird?" the blond man sneered.

Jiang Chen glanced at a dirt slope to the left, breaking into a grin, "Who told you that there's only Xuan Long in the valley from the Paladin Knights?"

"You've sought outside help as well?" Mu Si's expression shifted before he scoffed, "That's right, you, Dragon Yan, are incapable of exterminating Dark Spider on your own, you must have sought outside help!"

"We indeed sought outside help, but just like you, our reinforcements are of Paladin Knight strength and will not participate in battles beneath that level," Jiang Chen nodded and deliberately clarified.

"Haha... You think I'll believe that?" Mu Si laughed loudly, "Your Dragon Yan, with just over two hundred people, can exterminate the thousand-strong Dark Spider?"

"Believe it or not, that's up to you," Jiang Chen replied indifferently, then turned his head to look at the dirt slope on the left, "If the friends over there have arrived, why not come out and meet?"

Mu Si and the others were startled and turned to look at the left dirt slope, guessing in their hearts. They sensed someone was there, but since that person had not made any movements, and since they outnumbered Jiang Chen, they didn't feel quite as apprehensive and couldn't tell if the person on the slope posed a threat to them.

"Mr. Dragon King, please don't misunderstand; we are just looking on and won't interfere with your affairs!" An elderly voice rang out as Mo Rin and his companions emerged from behind the slope.

"Mr. Mo Rin?" Jiang Chen looked at Mo Rin and his two companions in surprise, his gaze pausing briefly on the masked woman before he nodded lightly, "I trust you won't interfere!"

Whoosh!

A figure sped towards them from a distance, drawing everyone's attention.

"Dragon King, are you alright?" Xing Fei approached and stopped just outside the encirclement of Mu Si and the others, her worry evident as she looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "I'm fine. How are things on your end?"

"The Fiery Bird is as good as dead. The battle in the valley is just a matter of time now!" Xing Fei responded softly, casting a cold look at Mo Rin and the others, then turning to Jiang Chen with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Mr. Mo Rin and the others are just spectators, no need to worry about them!" Jiang Chen explained, then smiled, "Since Mr. Mo Rin and his party have all arrived, I can't let them be disappointed. Snake Woman, you draw the battle line; I'll take care of these four fellows."

"Yes!" Xing Fei nodded vigorously, ready to attack at any moment.

Mu Si's face darkened, and he exclaimed, "Dragon King, you're overestimating yourself. Do you really think you can take us on alone?"

"Perhaps!" Jiang Chen said with a slight smile. His expression turned cold, the Blood Saber in his hand glowing with a bloody radiance as he shouted, "Second Style of Blood Dance Heaven and Earth, Blood Moon Fall!"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Bloody radiance descended from the sky, channeling into the Blood Saber.

"What's going on?!" Mu Si and the others' expressions changed dramatically, their eyes fixed on the Blood Saber glowing with a seductive sheen.

Luo Sha's expression suddenly shifted as he turned to the masked woman.

The masked woman's eyes showed a complex emotion as she took a deep breath and said softly, "Do not let him die. If he can't overcome them, intervene and kill Mu Si and the others!"

"Yes!" Luo Sha and Mo Rin responded quietly.

"Slash!" Jiang Chen roared as he swung the Blood Saber horizontally. A crescent-shaped arc materialized from the blade's edge and rapidly flew towards a Paladin Knight in front of Jiang Chen.

The Paladin Knight's expression changed as a shimmering white light radiated from his body. He circulated his Internal Qi to its limit and threw a fierce punch directly at the Blood Moon!

"No!"

Sensing the overwhelming power within the Blood Moon, Mu Si bellowed.

But it was too late!

The moment the Paladin Knight's fist touched the Blood Moon, the onlookers watched in shock as he began to dissipate into a mist of blood, starting from his fist, anywhere it touched the Blood Moon!

"No!"

Amid his terrified screams, the Blood Moon penetrated the Knight's body, instantly turning him into a mist of blood.

Swish!

Having slain one, Jiang Chen swung the Blood Saber again, and the Blood Moon spun around, targeting another Paladin Knight.

"Kill this brat!"

Realizing Jiang Chen could control the Blood Moon and aiming to break this tactic at its root, Mu Si called out, charging at Jiang Chen with full force.
