The whole night, Liu Wuxie spent his time hunting and killing demonic beasts.

  Slaying ten first-stage peak demon beasts, twenty first-stage eighth-level demon beasts. Second-stage demon beasts only appear in the depths. The demon core transforms into a pure liquid, and the true energy in the dantian grows slowly.

  The east shows a thread of white fish, a new day is about to arrive, get up and rush to the canyon.

  Phoenix Nest Pass!

  Surrounded by mountains on both sides, the steep cliff is as sharp as a knife cut, smooth like a mirror surface, and ordinary people cannot climb up. The natural craftsmanship of the gods, performed to perfection.

  Below the canyon, a stone road that can accommodate five horses passing through is exactly where the Xu family must pass every time they transport goods.

  Far away!

  The sound of rumbling wheels and crushing stones came from afar, and the Xu familys convoy slowly arrived.

  This time, Xu Jiaqi personally escorted the goods, and he was a seven-layer high-ranking master of the Innate Realm, ensuring that the goods arrived safely in Canglang City.

  Loss of several batches of purple gold ore, this batch is lost again, Xus armor workshop will be closed completely.

  "Everyone cheered up and we made our way through this Phoenix Gorge; once we get through it, well be safe."

  Qī Zhí shì drank a sentence, yesterday Xus family sent a flying letter to him, today there will be an expert coming to assist, ensuring their safety, before daring to boldly pass through Qī Fēng Xiá.

  It was unclear who it was, and everyone present was unaware, including Qi Zhi Shi. The host did not mention it either.

  Fifteen guards drew their swords and stood on both sides of the convoy, this time transporting ten carts of purple gold ore worth several million gold coins.

  No room for mistakes!

  Half an hour later, the convoy entered Qifeng Gorge. Qi Xing ordered the troops to open up a distance between them, as being too close together could cause confusion. Each horse cart maintained a distance of about 10 meters from one another.

  There is an emergency situation, and we can respond accordingly.

  The canyon is about one thousand meters long and takes around ten minutes to pass through.

  Halfway through the journey, they had yet to be ambushed. Qi Zhi Shi and other guards were still present, so he let out a sigh of relief. Perhaps it was Xu familys high-ranking expert who came to clear the obstacles on the road.

  Just as everyone thought the crisis was over, countless arrows poured down from the sky, shooting down from a distance like raindrops, aiming at the Xu family guards.

  "Enemy ambush ahead, prepare for battle!"

  At the sound of the order, Xus guards pulled out their shields from the horse-drawn carriage and held them in front of them. The hail of arrows shooting towards them was repelled one after another, falling to the ground.

  In an instant, the ground was covered with a layer of arrows. This time, the number of people ambushing them was not small.

  "Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..."

  More than 50 black-clad men surged out from both sides of the Qifeng Gorge, extremely powerful, blocking the way forward and cutting off the retreat route. The Xu familys troops were trapped in the central position of the gorge, unable to advance or retreat.

  "Listen up, Xu family! Put down your arms and well consider sparing your lives. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

  A tall, black-clad figure emerged from the crowd, exuding an overwhelming aura of spiritual energy that enveloped the entire Qifeng Gorge. Qi Zhis expression changed, as he recalled that no strong practitioners of the Washing Spirit realm had appeared in the past few days despite being ambushed.

  "What shall we do, Master Qi?"

  Xus family guards were in a panic, gathering together, Qi Zhi was the strongest, letting him make a quick decision, whether to surrender or fight to the death.

  These guards held Xus salary, there was no need to fight desperately, and at worst they could leave Canglang City and find another way to make a living.

  Not many guards, loyal to the Xu family, were cultivated by the Xu family. Their families are still in Canglang City. After surrendering, what about their families? The guards can only look at Qis face and wait for his orders.

  "Prepare to break out!"

  Take a deep breath, Qi Zhi Shi gave the order, the master of the house had sent a flying letter to him yesterday, and there were masters coming to assist, possibly hiding around.

  Fifteen guards automatically formed a circle, minimizing casualties as much as possible.

  The colt became restless and wanted to break free from the rope and escape from this place.

  The man in black held a crossbow, aiming at the fifteen guards of the Xu family. This black crossbow had a huge killing power and was generally used in military affairs, rarely seen on the market, and could easily pierce through the body of Hou Tianjiu.

  Even in a state of innate enlightenment, one may still be pierced by black arrows if caught off guard.

  "Who are you people, and how did you come to possess the Great Yan Imperial Armys military crossbow?"

  Qie Zhis face turned gloomy, this group of people were not simple, and he began to suspect that they were sent by the Tian family or the Wan family. It seemed that things were not as simple as they thought, the Tian family and the Wan family could not have bought such a powerful crossbow, there was only one possibility, there was a third party behind the scenes stirring up trouble.

  "Originally intended to abandon you all and let you fend for yourselves, but now that youve recognized the black crossbow, I can only kill you to silence you."

  A fierce killing intent was released from the black-clothed leaders eyes, and with a wave of his hand, the crossbow was drawn taut, emitting a series of sharp clicks.

  The momentum on the field is about to erupt!

  A chill wind blew across from the other side of the gorge, blowing down some loose rocks on the cliff top, which fell to the ground with a faint crashing sound.

  "Bang bang bang......"

  Many crooked-neck trees grow on the cliff, they take root in the cracks of the cliff and survive with difficulty.

  At this moment, a burst of applause came from above the cliff. A young man in green clothes sat on the trunk of a crooked neck tree, watching everything that happened below with clarity.

  The man in black stood still, and apart from them, there were others nearby, yet none of them had noticed.

  Xus family guard, in the morning, looked at the crooked neck tree and saw that greenish face, his eyes twitched, revealing a hint of bitter smile.

  "Qie Zhi Shi, you just said that the master of the house would send a skilled expert to assist us, it cant be this useless person, right?"

  Recently, Liu Wuxies status in the Xujia has been slightly elevated, but in the eyes of many guards, he is still a waste.

  Qī Zhí shì yī tóu hēi xiàn, bù zhī dào gāi rú hé huí dá, jiā zhǔ mì xìn lǐ miàn bìng wèi tí jí shì shuí qián lái, kàn dào Liǔ Wú Xié de nà yī kè, yī kē xīn chén le gǔ dǐ.

  A black-clad soldier walked up to the commander and whispered a couple of sentences, and a hint of strangeness flashed in the eyes of the black-clad commander.

  "Little boy, youre Xus son-in-law?"

  The black-clothed leaders voice was icy cold, and with a hand gesture, all the black-clothed soldiers crossbows were aimed at Liu Wuxie alone.

  "Its really interesting, the mighty Stone Breaker Army of the Great Yan Empire, came to intercept a batch of purple gold ore from the Xu family, it truly broadened my horizons."

  Liu Wuxies hands were clasped behind his back, a cold smile playing on the corners of his mouth. The Great Yan Empires Shi Po army was extremely formidable and had always been stationed at the border, rarely showing itself, so not many people knew about it.

  As soon as the voice fell, fifty black-clothed men burst out with an extremely strong killing intent, and only on the battlefield where countless killings had been experienced could such a terrifying atmosphere of slaughter be condensed.

  Upon hearing the three words "Shi Po Jun", all of Xus guards went limp, with several of them falling to the ground on their buttocks, their faces deathly pale.

  The Stone Breakers army is invincible, unstoppable, but they are just over a dozen people, not even enough to fill the gaps between other peoples teeth.

  "Very well, you can recognize that we are Shi Po Jun, with some insight. But do you know, the moment you identify our identities, it means all of you will die."

  No one can mobilize the Shi Po army, if people find out that the Shi Po army interfered with the affairs of Cang Lang City, it will be reported to the imperial court, and from generals to soldiers, everyone will be punished.

  With a single word and a pause, the intense killing intent enveloped the entire Qifeng Gorge, with both exits blocked. Everyone present today will die.

  "Tell me, who sent you here? I might consider sparing your lives."

  Unless absolutely necessary, Liu Wuxie didnt want to offend Shi Pojun either. They were too powerful, the trump card of the Great Yan Imperial Court. If it really came down to that, they could only bare their fangs and kill each other silently.

  Hahaha...

  The leader of the Stone Breaker Army burst out laughing wildly, while the Xu family guards were crying out in misery.

  "My good brother-in-law, dont make things worse, hurry up and think of a way to escape!"

  Qie Zhi thought he was going to cry, and Liu Wu Xie hastily came up with a plan to escape. "Dont stay here and get in the way," he said. "If youre not here, we can all die together. If you die, well escape, but how will we explain it to our master?"

  "Run?" Liu Wuxie was bewildered, but his heart still felt warmth. Qi Zhi Shi thought for him: "Why should I run? Im here to save you."

  His body suddenly stood up, his right hand pressed down on the hilt of the knife, and he flew from the cliff wall to the ground in at most two breaths.

  "Kill him for me!"

  Shi Po Jun led the army with a single order, fifty bows and crossbows aimed at Liu Wu Xie alone. If he was hit, he would definitely become a sieve.

  Without warning, he struck with his hand, and Shi Baojuns reputation for being ruthless and decisive was not in vain. He swept through the surrounding major powers.

  The arrow shot out with a sharp whistling sound, swooping in, and in the blink of an eye, densely packed arrows enveloped Liu Wuxie, leaving no room for evasion.

  "Youre asking for trouble, so be it!"

  Suddenly swooping down, like a majestic eagle, spreading its wings, the body rapidly plummeting downwards, the swiftly shot arrow arrives right before you.

  A short sword emerged from its scabbard, a layer of eerie red knife aura enveloped the sky, like a meteors arrow bursting open, splitting into two sections and falling from the air.

  The arrows were so dense that no one could dodge them. Qi Zhi Shi had already covered his eyes, unable to bear the sight of Liu Wu Xie being shot into a beehive.

  "Crack!"

  "Crack!"

  “……”

  More and more arrows broke, two breaths of time, blinked to the point where both feet had not yet landed, the short knife was launched for the second time, a suffocating momentum swept through the entire Qifeng Gorge.

  "What a magnificent sight!"

  Transformed into a single knife at its peak, it merged with the Blood Rainbow Swordsmanship, like blood water, surging in all directions.

  "Not good!"

  The black-clothed leader realized something was off, this power was comparable to the pinnacle of innate talent, how could this be possible? The intelligence received had always indicated that Xus son-in-law was a useless waste.

  Xu family guards were like they had seen a ghost, their eyes wide with shock. They couldnt believe that the son-in-law they had always looked down on could unleash such formidable power. It was simply unthinkable.

  Especially those guards who had once ridiculed Liu Wuxie felt a chill run down their spines.

  Qiu Zhi seemed to have understood the meaning of the letter from the host family, without mentioning who it was, and noted that Liu Wuxie might not be believed by anyone.

  No time to think, the knife cut through the air, rolling over with overwhelming momentum, a powerful gust of wind swept across the ground, thumb-sized gravel flying everywhere.

  Fresh blood splattered, both sides of the cliff were painted with red blood flowers, which was beautiful.

  In one move!

  Beheaded ten men in black, turned into headless corpses, fell on the gravel heap, blood flowed down the gravel, seeped into the ground, thick bloody smell, pungent to the extreme.

  At this moment, the cold wind in Qifeng Gorge disappeared, as if to match this knife, the entire valley became quiet.
