♂?，，

  This is a monster with thick scales and a huge tail, somewhat similar to an armadillo, but its body is several times larger than the one that was just killed by everyone. Apparently, this monster should be the leader of that large group of monsters.

  As soon as the monster appeared, the one-eared woman and four others immediately dispersed quickly, dividing into five directions, surrounding the monster.

  "Big oaf!" The one-eared woman stood still on the spot, coldly shouting.

  "Received, boss!" Huai Wu Da Han laughed loudly in response, his right arm transforming into a gigantic black bear paw that heavily slapped the monster head-on.

  Huaiwu's massive palm strike was incredibly powerful, and even the leader-level monster stopped its roar, extending a forepaw to block while the other claw thrust violently towards Huaiwu's chest.

  The woman pointed with one hand: "Old Li!"

  The one-armed man didn't say a word, his figure flashed and closely followed, the tree roots on his chest wildly extended, instantly wrapping around the other front paw of the monster that was inserted into the chest of the big Huaiwu.

  "Four Eyes, Chong Nan!" The woman shouted lightly, and the bespectacled man and tattooed man almost simultaneously split to the left and right to attack.

  The man with glasses stretched out his right hand, and the black mist immediately wrapped around the monster's left hind leg. The tattooed man's metal tube on his right hand made a "crack" sound, and ice mist sprayed out, followed by an icy fist that struck the monster's right hind leg.

  On the other side, Qin Jiagui and Zhao Shichang could only watch as these few people joined forces to launch a concerted attack, with clear division of labor and a clear target. This powerful monster, which was by no means weak, let out a miserable howl as soon as it faced them, its legs immediately crippled, its massive body collapsing to the ground. Meanwhile, Huaiwu Dahan had already achieved his goal and swiftly retreated.

  First, Huai Wu Da Han took the initiative to rush forward, attracting the attention of the monster. The one-armed man stood beside him, assisting in protecting his safety, while the bespectacled man and the tattooed man launched a fierce attack, disabling the monster's hind legs with just one strike.

  Lost its legs, the monster crashed to the ground. Almost at the same moment, the one-eyed woman finally made her move. Her speed was faster than that of the four men, and with a "whoosh" she darted out.

  In the instant she darted out, her right hand wiped across her left wrist, and everyone saw a stunning scene: a faint fiery red glow burst forth from her left wrist. Her right hand pulled back, and suddenly a long sword with a faint fiery red glow was drawn out.

  This long sword, including the blade and hilt, is about 1.2 meters in length, slightly wide, about three fingers, with a flowing pattern of crimson lines on the blade that resemble talismans, filled with an energy fluctuation that even ordinary people can sense.

  Riding the momentum of the monster's collapse, the woman lightly leapt forward, landing on the monster's back as she descended. With both hands grasping the long sword in her hand, she stabbed downwards.

  With a "hiss", this long sword was as simple as stabbing into tofu, instantly disappearing into the monster's body.

  "Roar——" The monster let out a shrill and mournful howl, its entire body violently shaking for a moment before quickly shrinking back.

  The woman finished all this, jumped down with a somersault, clapped her palms together, as if she had completed a trivial matter, and said: "Zhong Nan."

  The tattooed man nodded, watching as the monster's back was struck by a long sword. After letting out a mournful screech, its body contracted and then slowly expanded again, but its eyes had already lost their luster and it was not far from death.

  The tattooed man no longer hesitated, and immediately pounced on him. A "Ka Cha" crisp sound came from the metal tube in his right hand, and a frosty fist heavily bombarded him.

  With a loud "crack", the punch landed squarely on the monster's already drooping head, and with this punch, he had used all his strength, fearing that even if the monster's head were made of rock, it would still be pulverized.

  As he watched, the monster's head shattered instantly, and a black crystal appeared, disappearing into the tattooed man's right arm.

  He let out a low whistle and took two steps forward, saying: "How is it? Has the breakthrough been made?"

  The tattooed man let out a low growl, then looked up with some disappointment and said, "Still a little short, damn it, is entering the third stage really that difficult?"

  Hearing him say this, the others let out a sigh and disappointment appeared on their faces.

  The one-eared woman walked up and pulled out the long sword that had been inserted into the monster's back. With a flip of her hand, everyone saw a dazzling red light emanating from the long sword, which quickly disappeared onto the one-eared woman's left wrist. It was only then that people noticed that she was still wearing an unremarkable bracelet on her left wrist.

  As they watched, the long sword in her hand suddenly appeared and disappeared like magic, and everyone exchanged a glance, feeling a sense of strangeness.

  Could she have hidden that long sword in this bracelet? No, this is impossible, it obviously violates scientific common sense. However, Qin Jia Gui and several others still vaguely guessed that the long sword should not be as simple as a real sword, or it might be summoned like Li Dong's poisonous bees.

  Watching the perfect coordination of these five people, a monster that looked so terrifying was easily solved. Thinking about his own group, Qin Jia Gui suddenly felt that compared to these five people in front of him, his own group was indeed like a mob.

  After solving the leader monster, the tall and sturdy man walked to Qin Jia Gui and others with a smile, his face showing a kind expression, saying: "Let's go together, in such an environment you can still get food, it's really amazing, just...just this team is really strange, haha."

  He was actually curious how so many mediocre women in this team were still alive, which is also a miracle.

  Then he smiled and pointed at Su Yu who was still sleeping on the ground: "What's wrong with him? Was he seriously injured so he fainted?"

  Qin Jiagu didn't know how to explain, so he just nodded his head. Although the big Huaiyu man looked very friendly, the five people on their side were at least second-tier or even stronger masters. In comparison, there were only two second-tier masters in their team, and when they compared them, they felt a sense of pressure.

  "Come on, this damned forest is full of dangers, it's much safer to walk together, haha." Huai Wu Da Han laughed, with a bold and unrestrained expression, and pointed at himself laughing: "Let me introduce myself first, Lu Wei, but those few guys all call me Big Blockhead, haha. That guy with the nickname Four-eyed Toad, his name is Wang Quanfeng, he's a annoying guy who often clashes with me, so I say, I dislike people who wear glasses."

  It suddenly occurred to him that Lei Tuo was also wearing glasses, and he changed his words with a smile: "Of course, girls are an exception, haha, girls are an exception."

  The man with glasses, also known as Wang Quanfeng, who was called "Four-eyed Pheasant" by him, had already walked over, pushed his glasses and said: "Big blockheads always do things like this, since the introduction, at least introduce our department." He pointed to the tattooed man and said: "This guy is called Su Ge, we call him 'Zhong Nan'".

  Zhang Zhongmou couldn't help but interrupt, "What a strange nickname, why is he called Zhongnan?" Huaiwu's big man was called Dakuaitou, and Wang Quanfeng, the bespectacled man, was called Siji Tianji. He could understand these, but why was this tattooed Su Ge called "Zhongnan"? If it were up to him, he would rather be called Tattoo Man, which would be more accurate.

  On the other side, Lu Wei burst out laughing and said, "Didn't you see that he has a 'loyal' character carved on his right arm? That's why we call him Zhong Nan."

  Zhang Zhongmou suddenly realized. This "loyal man" Su Ge seemed to dislike talking too much, he just glanced at them lightly and didn't say a word.

  Wang Quanfeng continued to point at the one-armed man and introduced him, "This is Li Fengxuan, we call him 'Old Li'." Finally, he pointed at the woman and said, "This is our team leader, her name is Chu Xiang, a beautiful name, with 'Chu' as in 'chu chu moves people's hearts', and 'Xiang' as in 'Xiang Fei bamboo'".

  The one-eared girl nodded slightly towards Qin Jia Gui and the others, her eyes lingering on Qin Jia Gui's handsome face for a couple of extra moments.

  At the introduction of several people who knew each other, Qin Jiagui and others had to report their names even if they were unwilling. Among them, Chu Xiang and his four companions paid special attention to Zhao Shichang and Ma Ziye.

  Among this group of people, only Zhao Shichang and Ma Ziyue reached the second level. As for Su Yu, who was sleeping soundly, Qin Jia Gui and others didn't introduce themselves, and these five people didn't pay much attention to him either. After all, a person who is injured and asleep won't be able to do anything too impressive.

  Due to the York couple's affair, Qin Jia Gui was extra cautious around these strangers, but since their strength was obviously stronger than theirs, they couldn't afford to mess with them now. At least, they had to handle their relationship well before Su Yu woke up.

  With this thought in mind, Qin Jia Gui also revealed a smile, showing a very enthusiastic attitude.

  Zhou Huakang couldn't help but say, "Are we going to travel together?" He wasn't very willing to travel with these five people either, although they were very powerful, but also a potential threat.

  Huai Wu Da Han Lu Wei looked at him with a glance, chuckled and said: "What? Doesn't this little brother want to travel with us? Does he think we're not worthy? Ha ha ha." Although Zhou Huakang had just introduced his name, Lu Wei really hadn't remembered what it was. For someone who had just been promoted one rank, Lu Wei didn't pay much attention to him at all.

  Zhou Huakang saw that Lu Wei's smile had a hint of sharpness, and his heart inexplicably felt a chill. He didn't dare say anything else. The bespectacled Wang Quanfeng pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Let's go together, we've stayed here long enough."

  Regardless of whether Qin Jia Gui and the others were willing or not, these five people had already acknowledged them as their own, seemingly treating them as part of their group. Lu Wei even walked directly in front of Zhou Hua Kang, smiling and saying: "Come on, it's too tiring for one person to carry several bags, let me help out."

  Zhou Huakang was startled and quickly grabbed his bag, shaking his head repeatedly.

  Lu Wei didn't force it, but just had a hint of an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth.

  With a somewhat reluctant meaning, Qin Jia Gui and others had no choice but to follow the five people, walking deeper into the valley.

  Qin Jiagui and others vaguely sensed that these five people might not have good intentions, although they seemed friendly on the surface, but beneath their friendliness was a kind of overbearing attitude, everything was self-centered, which made Qin Jiagui and others very uncomfortable. However, everyone knew that now was not the time to turn against them, so they could only endure in silence, at least until Su Yu woke up or Qin Jiagui and Zhang Zhongmou reached the second stage of cultivation, then they would have the power to resist them.

  After going through all these days, everyone has also grown up and will no longer be impulsive. Although it's unpleasant, they still endured and waited for the right moment to arrive.

  Along the way, they would occasionally encounter those scale-covered monsters that resembled pangolins. Chu Xiang, Wang Quanfeng, and Lu Wei, among others, seemed to be either intentionally or unintentionally drawn to them, immediately pouncing on and killing them with ease, leaving almost none for Qin Jia Gui and the others to strike down.

  Qin Jia Gui and others looked at each other in dismay. In this way, although it seemed to have calmed down, they also didn't have the possibility of advancing anymore.

  "Haha, Qin brother, how about it? With our two teams combined, we can sweep through this forest effortlessly!" The big man, Lu Wei, killed a few monsters and suddenly reached out to pat Qin Jia Gui's shoulder, with a smile on his face.

  Qin Jiagui forced a smile and said, "Yes."

  Lu Wei suddenly saw that Qin Jiagui's hand was holding Yuan Nianping's, and he looked at Yuan Nianping before asking Qin Jiagui, "Is this your girlfriend?"

  Qin Jiagui said: "Yes." Although Lu Wei seemed to be generous, the things he asked were really too many. Qin Jiagui was secretly displeased in his heart.

  Lu Wei looked at Yuan Ni Ping with a profound gaze, his eyes somewhat brazenly staring at her chest, and chuckled: "Brother Qin, you're really lucky, haha, I didn't expect that in such a treacherous forest, there's still a beauty accompanying you, it's really impressive, I admire you so much, more than us, hehe."

  Yuan Ni Ping felt his gaze was a bit too bold and couldn't help but instinctively cover her chest.

  Qin Jiagu looked at him with anger in his eyes, but the current situation couldn't be turned around, so he could only force a smile and say: "Yes, I also admire your team's coordination, it's really good, but I don't know what Brother Lu used to do?" He quickly changed the subject.

  "Ah..." Lu Wei smiled and whispered: "Qin brothers, take a look at that Zhong Nan guy, heh heh."

  Qin Jiagu was taken aback and looked back, only to see the tattooed "Zhong Nan" Su Ge, his face icy cold, but he kept staring at Zhou Bichen, with a strange flame flickering deep in his eyes.

  Qin Jiagu's heart skipped a beat, and this flame seemed like the hungry glow of a starving wolf.

  "This guy used to be a hoodlum, and he can be said to be arch-enemies with the police, but he has a special liking for female cops, haha, look at that gaze of his, it's as if he wants to swallow that policewoman whole, haha."

  He spoke in a very low voice, only Qin Jiagui could hear it. Qin Jiagui's facial expression changed several times. Zhou Bicong was wearing a police uniform, although it was a bit dirty, but among the crowd, she was indeed particularly eye-catching.

  "Lu Dage, tell me what these... mean?" Qin Jiagu took a deep breath and finally asked in a low voice. This Lu Wei suddenly telling him all this was really too strange.

  Lu Wei gave him a deep and meaningful look before whispering, "I'm telling you this because I think highly of you as a brother. That Zhong Nan has taken a liking to that female cop. If he does something to her in the future, don't be foolish and try to stop him. This guy is terrifying when he gets angry, even I'm afraid of him. And he's already reached the second stage just yesterday, it won't be long before he breaks through to the third stage, a truly formidable opponent."

  Qin Jiagui smiled, but the smile was very forced. He didn't think that Lu Wei's advice was genuine, but rather a way to tease him and see his fearful expression. At this moment, Qin Jiagui had reached the point of extreme disgust towards Lu Wei from the bottom of his heart. If he had the power, he would have torn Lu Wei's stinky mouth apart immediately.

  Although Lu Wei appeared to be very generous on the surface, Qin Jia Gui only felt a kind of arrogant aura from him that was disgusting to the extreme.

  The sky quickly darkened, and even this group of five would not dare to travel in the darkness.

  "Let's just rest here for the night." As soon as Wang Quanfeng finished speaking, Lu Wei suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled a large bag of food from Zhou Huakang's side, laughing: "Haha, I'm so tired from walking early, and Grandma's been eating those strange creatures' raw meat for days, my mouth is all numb."

  Zhou Huakang's face surged with a thread of anger, his fists clenched tightly, but he didn't dare to erupt.

  Lu Wei completely ignored him and had already torn open the big bag of food, not treating himself as an outsider at all. He smiled and started distributing the food to everyone.

  "Hey boss, what do you like to eat? Bread or cookies? Huh? And there's still a lot of mineral water, haha." Lu Wei rummaged through the bag and said with a smile to Chu Xiang.

  "We still have urgent matters, so let's leave first." Qin Jiagui vaguely felt that if they stayed tonight, something terrible would happen. Seeing the five people wanting to stay and rest, although it was dark, he suddenly spoke up, hoping to leave these five people.

  Ma Ziyue understood his meaning and immediately replied: "Yes, this matter is very urgent. We must rush overnight."

  Qin Jiagu looked at Chu Xiang, Wang Quanfeng and Lu Wei with a apologetic expression, saying: "Everyone is really sorry, we have an urgent matter to attend to first, these two bags of food will also be left for you, I believe they can last for several days." While speaking, he put down the bag on his body.

  The five people from Chu and Xiang were stunned, they didn't expect these people would travel overnight.

  "Is there something urgent? What's the urgency that requires traveling through the night in this forest?" Wang Quanfeng, who was accustomed to wearing glasses, pushed up the black-rimmed frames on his nose and asked everyone.

  Qin Jiagui hurriedly said: "The school we are in is not far from here, everyone is waiting for us there, we must send these foods back, everyone has been hungry for several days, can't wait any longer."

  "School?" Lu Wei was taken aback.

  Wang Quanfeng smiled and said, "Since we've all been hungry for a few days, it's not urgent to rush tonight. It's really too dangerous to travel at night, and I think our friends in school wouldn't want us to take such risks either. There are many edible things in the forest, like wild grass, leaves, and monster meat... although they're really hard to eat, but I don't think they'll starve to death. Everyone can rest assured and stay for a night, tomorrow we'll head out together, it's safer that way."

  "Alright, let's all stay here, no need to take such a risk." Lu Wei warmly grabbed Qin Jia Gui, but his grip was very strong, almost pinching Qin Jia Gui's wrist.

  Qin Jiagu struggled slightly, but found that he couldn't break free. He looked at Lu Wei, whose face was smiling yet not smiling, and had already taken on an unyielding stance.

  Wang Quanfeng, Su Ge and Li Fengxuan with one arm stood up one after another, already blocking the front of everyone.

  Wang Quan's face wore a smile, his left hand pressing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, letting out a low "heh heh" laugh. Meanwhile, Su Ge and Li Fengxuan's faces had already turned gloomy, coldly sizing up the crowd with an unfavorable expression.

  Zhao Shichang and Ma Ziyue also hurried over to Qin Jiagui's side, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

  "What's going on? You guys are being a bit too much, I treat you as partners, but it seems like you don't appreciate it." Lu Wei's voice that was neither a smile nor not a smile echoed, and suddenly turned his head to say: "Boss, what do you think?"

  Behind him, Chu Xiang, who was just rummaging through the bag for food, heard Lu Wei's inquiry and withdrew his hand. He slowly stood up, slightly extending his left hand and wiping his right hand. He gently fiddled with the bracelet on his left wrist and calmly said, "If you really want to leave, you can take all the food."

  Lu Yu was taken aback, then suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "As expected of the boss, you're really decisive! Haha, since everyone wants to leave, we won't stay either. Leave the food behind and let's go!"

  Zhao Shichang's face surged with anger, saying: "Are you too much? We really didn't have malicious intentions, how can you do this, we are all drifting here, should help each other..."

  Zhou Huakang followed closely and shouted: "How can you be so unreasonable!"

  Ma Ziyue glanced at them and said, "You're really naive, what's the point of talking about reason here?" Her right foot tapped lightly. Although the opponent's strength was formidable, her "Iron Web" might be able to trap them once and for all, and there was still a chance to fight back.

  That tattooed Su Ge suddenly said in a cold voice: "No way, she has to stay." He pointed at Zhou Bichen in the team.

  Zhou Bicong's face surged with a thread of anger, but she didn't say a word. The more it was like this, the calmer she had to be.

  Qin Jiagui's back was already drenched in cold sweat, his mind racing with a lightning-fast analysis of the two sides' strengths. The opponent had at least five second-stage cultivators, among whom Chu Xiang had even reached third stage, while their own side only had Zhao Shichang and Ma Ziyue, both of whom were merely second-stage cultivators who had just entered this realm. What was most terrifying was that the opponents not only had higher cultivation levels but also coordinated with each other in perfect harmony, whereas Zhao Shichang and Ma Ziyue were still struggling to find their footing in the second stage.

  "Alright, let's leave the food behind!" Qin Jiagu suddenly gritted his teeth and said.

  As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

  Desperately fighting with the opponent, it's almost a dead end. Since that's the case, we can only give up on food first and prioritize survival. As long as Su Yuqing wakes up, they will have enough strength to take it back later. What's most important now is to avoid conflict and preserve their lives.

  "Qin Jia Gui, are you crazy?" Li Dong suddenly tightened his grip on the large bag on his body and shouted at Qin Jia Gui.

  Qin Jiagui sternly said, "Leave all the food here, have you forgotten that everyone in school is still waiting for us to return? Let's hurry back first, we can think of a way to deal with the food later."

  Li Dong nodded, and Lei Cui suddenly said: "Yes, let's leave the food behind, we should hurry back first."

  Looking at the dramatic scene in front of her, Chu Xiang, who only had one ear, suddenly burst out laughing and clapped her hands lightly, saying: "Is this what it means to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens? It's really rare, haha, he's a talented person indeed." She looked up and down at Qin Jia Gui with a playful gaze.

  Qin Jiagu heard her say this and felt a faint sense of unease in his heart, as if the other party had already harbored evil intentions and would not leave himself and others behind as potential threats.

  Wang Quanfeng pushed his glasses and suddenly said: "Boss, I actually have an idea."

  "Oh? Four Eyes, what kind of mischief are you up to again?" Chu Xiang smiled.

  Wang Quanfeng said, "Our team of five is not bad, but I think we can still recruit a few more people. With so much food, just the five of us can't carry it all away."

  Lu Wei nodded and said: "This is true, how can we do it specifically?"

  Wang Quanfeng stared at Qin Jiagu and others, saying: "I think we can recruit three more people. Is anyone among you willing?"

  Qin Jiagui and others looked at each other in dismay, Wang Quanfeng's mouth curled up into a strange smile: "But what we need are elites, this is an elite team after all. If you want to join us, you have to prove that you're the best of the group. Kill the others, and the last three people standing will be our teammates."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jia Gui and others all took a jump in their hearts, retreated one step, opened up the distance, in an instant, everyone was in danger, this Wang Quan Feng just pulled out a sentence, actually made everyone feel that no one in the team could be trusted.

  "This is the only way for us to survive, otherwise, we don't mind taking matters into our own hands and killing all of you. We need elite teammates, and trash like you doesn't deserve to live in a forest like this, wasting resources."

  "That one-armed Li Fengxuan suddenly said: 'It's too troublesome, leaving any of them would be an unstable factor, let's just kill them all.'"

  Su Ge interrupted: "No way, that female cop can't die, I want her, the others can die."

  Lu Wei sighed and looked at the Qin family with a few people, saying: "Actually, so much food, we really can't take it away, I still wanted to be partners with you for a few more days, this way we would have someone to help us carry our food for free. But, you shouldn't have thought of getting rid of us... Since you had this idea, you are a threat to us, we don't want to leave alive tonight and then come back stronger to take revenge on us. Hehe, Four Eyes, really too sinister! What's the point of leaving three people? In the end, won't they all be killed? Do we need to think so much to deal with such a group of fools? Just kill them directly, Boss, speak up!"

  Wang Quanfeng pushed his glasses and smiled faintly: "The big guy isn't all muscle after all, at least there's still some brain."

  Chu Xiang's eyes flashed, and Qin Jia Gui suddenly kicked a big bag of food in front of him with a loud shout: "Ma Zi Ye!" The bag flew heavily towards Lu Wei in front of him.

  Ma Ziyue got his reminder and immediately stepped out with her right foot, displaying "Iron Net".

  The other side has made their stance clear and will not tolerate them staying alive. Since that's the case, for now, there's only one option: fight to the end.

  Previously, Qin Jiagui was humble and sought compromise in every way, seemingly without any backbone. However, once he made up his mind, he became as fierce as a lion, first kicking the food towards Lu Wei, loudly ordering Ma Ziyue to take action, then instantly ironizing his right hand, "Iron Fist Explosion" blasting towards Lu Wei's face, all of this happening as fast as lightning.

  Ma Ziyue had already entered the second-order realm, and "Iron Web" could be activated instantly. A series of steel cables spread out rapidly, while Zhao Shichang was half a step slower than them. With a loud shout, he swung his right hand, and in an instant, his arm and bone knife extended to their longest length of two meters. As a second-order cultivator, he wasn't particularly feared by the crowd.

  Zhang Zhongmou, Li Dong and Zhou Bicao all took action one after another. Everyone knew that begging for mercy was useless in this situation, the only way out was to fight desperately, or there might be a glimmer of hope.

  At this time, being afraid of death is useless.

  Lu Wei burst out laughing and took a step back, jumping away. He stretched out his right hand, which instantly transformed into a black bear's paw.

  Wang Quanfeng, Su Ge and Li Fengxuan's first reaction was to retreat backwards, and Ma Ziyue's "Iron Net" didn't even catch a single person.

  "It's too tender, the biggest mistake this little girl made was that she knew her strength wasn't as good as ours, but didn't know how to hide it? If she hadn't used this trick before, and suddenly brought it out now, I'm afraid we would all be caught off guard." Wang Quanfeng retreated hastily while pressing his nose bridge and adjusting his glasses, shaking his head in sigh.

  Ma Ziyue's heart tightened at the same time, and she regretted it extremely. Although Wang Quanfeng's words were unpleasant to hear, they were not unreasonable.

  As Wang Quanfeng spoke, Su Ge's right hand suddenly rose, "Ka Cha" crisp sound, instantly transformed into a metal cylinder, and his right fist retracted, the metal cylinder mouth sprayed out thick white gas, its target was Ma Ziyue.

  Wherever the white air reached, a thin layer of frost immediately appeared on the withered grass and leaves on the ground.

  Ma Ziyue barely dodged, Su Ge suddenly shouted and rushed up, the metal tube rang out with a "crack" again, and Frost Fist flew out heavily.

  Ma Ziyue's face changed greatly, and behind him, Zhao Shichang let out a loud shout. A two-meter-long insect arm with a bone knife had already slashed over.

  With a crisp "ting" sound, the Bone Knife and Frost Fist collided, bursting out tiny ice shards. Zhao Shichang's Bone Knife was razor-sharp, and even though Su Ge's fist was covered in a layer of frost, it still managed to chop out a fissure, from which seeped out blood-red water. However, in terms of pure power, Su Ge's fist was stronger, and with a muffled grunt, Zhao Shichang's Bone Knife was heavily rebounded back.

  It's a long story, but all of this happened in the blink of an eye. Wang Quanfeng, Su Ge, Li Fengxuan, and Lu Weixian suddenly retreated, then charged together, their target crystal clear as they simultaneously attacked Ma Ziyue.

  For them, only Ma Ziyue's "Iron Web" poses a slight threat, and one small mistake could lead to being caught.

  Su Ge was blocked by Zhao Shichang, Wang Quanfeng pressed his left hand on the glasses on the bridge of his nose, stretched out his right hand, and three black smokes burst out from the outside of his right arm. He grasped his right hand, carrying this black smoke, and rushed towards Ma Ziyue who was retreating.

  Li Fengxuan's upper body was covered with a mass of tree roots, which were entwined together to form a suit of armor made of tree roots. The armor not only helped him defend against attacks, but also sprouted out numerous thin tree roots that resembled tentacles, snapping and clawing at Ma Zilei's legs.

  The four of them joined forces, while Chu Xiang appeared elegant and refined, despite missing an ear. She seemed to possess a natural air of nobility as she strolled behind Lu Wei and the others towards Qin Jia Gui and his men. Her right hand gently caressed the bracelet on her left wrist, exuding a carefree aura. A faint red glow emanated from her right wrist.

  She's going to take action now.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  Chu Xiang's right hand gently stroked the bracelet on her left wrist, as if caressing her own lover. A faint red glow emanated from the bracelet, and suddenly, she leaned forward slightly and swung her right arm, releasing a flash of red light that shot out like lightning.

  "Ah——" Qin Jiagu suddenly let out a loud roar, fresh blood splashing from his chest. In the midst of life and death, he pushed off the ground with both feet, his body falling backwards, revealing a terrifying wound over a foot long, stretching from his left shoulder to his right waist.

  "Jiā guì——" Yuán Qīpíng shouted as she rushed up, Chǔ Xiāng let out a soft hum, and in her right hand was already holding a long sword that shone with red light, feeling surprised that she couldn't cut open Qin Jiāguì's body with one slash.

  "Humming..." Suddenly, a swarm of poisonous bees emerged from above the top of their heads, like a dark cloud pressing down.

  Li Dong's ability: Bee Swarm Summoning.

  Chu Xiang's right hand grasped the long sword, his feet stomped, and his face began to transform. The speed increased, and the fiery long sword flashed out again, this time targeting Li Dong.

  Li Dong's "Poison Bee Summoning" was only a first-class ability, but the hundreds of poison bees were not easy to deal with. Chu Xiang analyzed the situation and immediately abandoned Qin Jia Gui, who was seriously injured on the ground, and was about to behead Li Dong.

  Abnormal power activation, Chu Xiang's speed accelerated, Li Dong was greatly shocked, and while summoning poisonous bees to attack Chu Xiang, he turned around and escaped.

  Chu Xiang is too terrifying, even stronger than Qin's nobles. They are all severely injured as soon as they face him, how can Li Dong possibly be his match?

  Li Dongyi escaped, Chu Xiang's figure had already rushed into the midst of Zhou Biquan, Lei Rui, Su Yu and others. Zhou Biquan shouted, her right hand revealing three hook-like claws, which grasped towards Chu Xiang.

  Chu Xiang dodged again, his long sword sweeping horizontally, and then inserted back into his waist from the opposite side.

  With a "hiss" sound, Zhou Bierong let out a muffled hum in her mouth, and the long sword had already pierced through her. Chu Xiang took another step back, and with a shoulder bump, Zhou Bierong's body flew out like a broken kite.

  "Ah——" Su Yu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, Lei Ting hastily pulled her back, Chu Xiang smiled and suddenly threw out the long sword stained with blood.

  With a "whoosh" sound, the long sword broke through the air and flew over, instantly arriving in front of Su Yu's chest.

  Behind her, Lei Rui saw it clearly and couldn't help but let out a sharp cry. With both hands, she pushed Su Yu's body to the side, and in the same instant, the long sword that had been pressed against Su Yu's side entered Lei Rui's heart from behind.

  Lei Hua's eyes rolled back, and she didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before she fell over.

  Suk's right arm transformed into a metal cylinder, heavily smashing down. Zhao Shichang grunted, his right arm had transformed to be extremely long, convenient for swinging knives, but on the contrary, its hardness had weakened a lot. Suk took advantage of this and his metal-cylinder-like right arm smashed down heavily. Zhao Shichang couldn't withstand it immediately, grunting as he was knocked flying out. Suk let out a low whistle, his Frost Fist shot out in pursuit.

  With a loud "bang", the punch landed squarely on Zhao Shichang's chest, but fortunately, he managed to react just in time and swung his right arm back, striking the icy fist. The force of the blow sent his right arm crashing into his own chest, followed by a blood-curdling scream as fresh blood spurted out, and his body tumbled backward.

  Lu Wei's right arm transformed into a massive black bear-like paw, and together with Wang Quanfeng and Li Fengxuan, they launched a pincer attack on Ma Ziyue. Ma Ziyue was unable to dodge and had no choice but to grit his teeth and once again activate "Steel Web", at the same time summoning "Steel Lance" to heavily stab towards Lu Wei's chest.

  Lu Wei's palm slapped down once.

  With a "slap" sound, the "Steel Long Spear" held by Ma Zileaf was slapped flying away. Ma Zileaf's right hand felt severe pain and his tiger mouth was already cracked open.

  On one side, Zhang Zhongmou didn't say a word, half of his face was petrified, and the "Rock Cannon Head Hammer" rushed towards Wang Quanfeng, blocking one for Ma Ziyue.

  Zhang Zhongmou was only a first-rate cultivator, and in Wang Quanfeng's eyes, his speed, movements, and reactions were all laughable. Wang Quanfeng's figure flashed diagonally, and with a swift grab of his right hand, he caught Zhang Zhongmou's face, and the black smoke instantly enveloped Zhang Zhongmou's head.

  "Ah——" Zhang Zhongmou burst out with a mournful howl, his hands wildly flailing as if crazy, trying to grab Wang Quanfeng, his mouth frantically yelling: "Su Yu, if you don't wake up now, we're done for——"

  Lei Hua fell to the ground with a sword, Su Yu was frightened like a fool, and then came back to her senses, grasping her own face with both hands, letting out a terrified scream.

  Chu Xiang smiled slightly and threw out her sword. Her figure didn't stop, but instead turned around to strike Li Dong who was escaping.

  Ma Ziyue launched the "Iron Web", but unexpectedly Li Fengxuan was faster, a root of tentacles burst out from his chest, instantly wrapping around her legs, and with a strong pull, Ma Ziyue cried out in surprise, lost her balance, and was pulled flying out.

  A loud crash, the tree root that grew out of Li Fengxuan's chest was incredibly frightening, entwining around Ma Ziyue's leg and pulling her up like a paper doll with ease, lifting her into the air before slamming her back down.

  Ma Zi Ye rolled out and fell, coincidentally landing heavily on Su Yu's body, who was sleeping like a dead person.

  "Ugh..." The impact was too strong, Ma Ziyue was stunned, and the corner of her mouth had already started bleeding.

  Lu Wei saw the opportunity, haha laughed, took a big stride forward, his right palm swooped down from mid-air, carrying a terrifying force, heavily slapping towards Ma Ziyue's head below, secretly calling out in his heart what a pity, such a beautiful girl is going to die.

  Ma Ziyue had just been slammed by Li Fengxuan and collided with Su Yu's body on the ground. The impact was so great that her brain buzzed, and she lost all strength in an instant, struggling to get up. With difficulty, she raised her head and saw Lu Wei's terrifying black bear palm falling from the air, about to land on her face.

  Knowing that she couldn't dodge, Ma Ziyue's face revealed a desperate and unwilling expression. She knew everything was over. In this instant, the shadows of her parents floated in her mind. At this moment, she really missed her dad and mom so much, wanting to see them one more time.

  With a loud "slap", Lu Wei's broad face revealed a ferocious smile, and his massive black bear palm came crashing down, producing a terrifying sound. He could almost see Ma Ziyue's beautiful face exploding into a pulp of flesh in front of him, with red blood and white brain matter splattering everywhere. The scene was... beautiful.

  It fell heavily, and Lu Wei suddenly felt something was off. This time, after the bear's paw slammed down, there was no feeling of excitement after the explosion in his head. Instead, it was as if he had slammed into a solid iron block, causing his bear's paw to ache with a dull pain.

  Lu Wei's mutated bear palm was known for its great strength, and among Wang Quanfeng, Su Ge and Li Fengxuan, his bear palm power was the strongest.

  What's going on, how can this woman's head be harder than a piece of iron? She was actually able to counterattack and make his bear paw hurt.

  Lu Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to lift his paw to take a closer look. Suddenly, he realized that his paw was being grasped by the other party, whose strength was terrifyingly powerful. Lu Wei tried to pull back, but couldn't move at all.

  At this time, he finally realized that something was wrong and tried to withdraw with all his might. Suddenly, a "hissing" sound arose, and a tearing pain suddenly appeared on the palm of his hand.

  "Ah——" Lu Wei let out a mad roar, the pain was indescribable, as if countless forces were tearing his paws apart, crushing and destroying them bit by bit...

  Rotten flesh, shattered bones, fresh blood... everything mixed together, splashing everywhere. Lu Wei let out a mad roar and retreated violently, only to discover in horror that his massive bear paws, which he had taken great pride in, had been destroyed and mangled beyond recognition.

  "No——" Lu Wei shouted wildly, and the people around him, Chu Xiang, Wang Quanfeng, Su Ge, and Li Fengxuan, all turned to look at him in surprise. They saw that the unknown boy who had been lying on the ground unconscious had raised his hand from Ma Ziyue's waist, and his left arm was covered with black scales. The scales stood up and entwined with Lu Wei's bear palm, shattering it instantly.

  Lu Wei let out a loud roar and retreated violently, one of his bear paws disappearing from view. Fresh blood gushed out like a spring, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant. Meanwhile, the young man who had been sleeping soundlessly for a long time slowly pushed away Ma Zi Ye who was on top of him, stood up silently, and then reached back to scratch his hair, a look of confusion appearing on his face.
