366: It's a bit weak, but it's not bad to have some practice.

The voice was cold, like frost, and carried a chilling Aura.

Wang De, hearing this, relaxed his brow, and his burly figure leaped from his horse!

"So it's Old Demon Guishan!!"

"You dared to invade our border and kill our soldiers. Now that you've come, don't even think about leaving!"

The moment the loud shout fell, Wang De raised the long saber in his hand and slashed out in one direction without the slightest hesitation!

In an instant, saber light flashed from the sheath, and a fierce Saber Qi erupted, cutting down to the ground like a silver snake!

Boom!!!

A powerful surge of energy, accompanied by the Saber Qi, suddenly erupted upon impact, causing the ground to tremble. Cracks extended from the point of impact, and a figure shrouded entirely in a black robe, where the Saber Qi landed, immediately shot into the air!

Old Demon Guishan was originally a Black Tortoise who had Cultivated for hundreds of years to attain the Dao and achieve human form!

He was a famous master among the Ten Gates of Demons and Monsters, with a strength at the Fifth Level of the Carefree Realm!

"Hahaha... Wang De, you know my name, Old Demon Guishan, yet you still dare to attack me? Can you kill me?"

Old Demon Guishan laughed loudly, as if the previous saber strike had not caused him the slightest harm.

In fact, Wang De's saber strike appeared to be incredibly sharp, but to Old Demon Guishan, such strength was indeed insufficient to cause him any harm.

Old Demon Guishan's greatest trump card was his tortoise shell, his life-saving means of survival. Without a treasure-grade weapon in hand, it was impossible to harm him in the slightest!

"Old Demon Guishan?! He actually came out too!"

Lin Chubin and the other two's expressions changed at this moment; clearly, they had long heard of Old Demon Guishan's formidable reputation.

Wang De's expression was calm. The surrounding soldiers spread out in a circle, their weapons drawn, all on high alert as if facing a formidable enemy.

Xiaoyao Realm Masters were not something these soldiers could deal with; only Wang De and the three, Lin Chubin, could contend with him on the scene!

Old Demon Guishan stood on a corner of the city wall, looking down at them from above, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Just one of me is difficult for you to handle, and you still want revenge?"

"Unfortunately, we are here this time to open a breach through you. Now, even if you want to leave, you can't!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

In the sky, several figures, accompanying Old Demon Guishan's words, revealed their true forms.

There were four people in total, and each was a master of the Carefree Realm!

One was mountain-like in stature, bare-chested, with strange runes carved all over his upper body.

One had a seductive figure, with alluring, silken eyes, incomparably charming.

The other two were twins, identical in build, appearance, and demeanor, with sunken eye sockets and long, pointed noses, carrying a hint of gloom.

"Prodigies of the Eleven Sects of the Righteous Path? Indeed, fair-skinned and tender, today I shall eat my fill!"

The charming beauty twisted her body like a snake, but the light in her eyes was icy cold.

"Eat your fill? Why not eat me!"

The burly, bare-chested man looked at her with a grin, his eyes filled with eagerness.

"Pah! You rough fellow, how can you compare to fair-skinned and tender meat? Get out of my sight!"

The two bickered as if no one else was present, not putting Wang De and Lin Chubin in their eyes at all. In their view, these people were all meat delivered to their mouths!

"Corpse Scorpion Maiden of the Poison Scorpion Gate, Protector Leng Feihuang of the Heaven Refining Sect, and also... the Yin and Yang Ghosts of the Divine Ghost Sect!"

Shen Zangfeng was also well-informed and recognized the origins of these individuals at a glance.

The Poison Scorpion Gate belonged to the Demonic Dao of the Southern Buddha Dynasty, while the Heaven Refining Sect and Divine Ghost Sect were once stationed in the Great Qi Dynasty, and few present did not recognize them.

A year ago, the Heaven Refining Sect and Divine Ghost Sect were notoriously fierce Demon Sects and Ghost Dao Sects!

However, in the past year, they were ordered to be eradicated by the Empress, and with Li Tongshen's intervention, four or five of these Sects were destroyed in succession, and the rest fled!

"So it's you homeless dogs. What? You ran to the Southern Buddha Dynasty and became someone else's dogs?"

Wang De didn't care about any of this and sneered mockingly.

Regardless of whether he could leave today, for a general like Wang De, the prestige of the Great Qi Dynasty could not be weakened!

Boom!!!

As soon as these words were uttered, these Xiaoyao Realm Masters all exploded in fury!

They were demons; how could they swallow their anger?

"Simply courting death, kill!"

Old Demon Guishan attacked first, a vast Aura erupting from his body. A colossal phantom of a Black Tortoise appeared behind him, and a powerful demonic Qi swept towards everyone!

"Giggle giggle..."

Corpse Scorpion Maiden covered her mouth and smiled, her laughter carrying a chilling cold. A giant bone scorpion emerged, emitting a dense Corpse Qi, and with a movement of her body, she attacked the crowd!

Boom!

The burly man also moved, his massive body erupting with powerful might, his figure swelling against the wind!

"Ancestral Bloodline Revival!"

On Leng Feihuang's massive body, rune lights flickered, and the Seal of his ancient Bloodline was broken. His powerful body transformed into a giant, with a single horn on his head. With one step, the entire Bingfeng Fortress was directly shattered!

The Yin and Yang Ghosts disappeared silently.

The entire Bingfeng Fortress, inside and out, was enveloped by an icy Ghost Qi, and endless illusions arose, with countless mournful sounds coming from all directions.

Wang Tiande's gaze swept over everyone, and he loudly declared, "Everyone, if you have a chance, find an opportunity to leave and report these matters to the Imperial Dynasty!"

Wang De immediately tried to get the message out, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.

The entire Bingfeng Fortress and the hundred-li area around it were completely sealed off!

The appearance of the Yin and Yang Ghosts extinguished his last glimmer of hope.

However, as long as one person escaped, it would surely attract the attention of the Imperial Dynasty.

The Southern Buddha Dynasty wanted to open a breach here, and they certainly could not be allowed to succeed.

Once a breach was opened, if the Southern Buddha Dynasty's army entered from here and directly attacked Xijiang from behind, the entire defense line could be in trouble.

Lin Chubin and Shen Zangfeng were not fools; they also knew that if there was a chance, they had to leave, otherwise the news here would surely be suppressed.

When the Southern Buddha army came, if Pei Wang City did not have a great general guarding it, something major would definitely happen!

The three Prodigies all made their moves, and the great battle between the two sides began in that instant.

And at this moment, not far from Bingfeng Fortress, on a mountain peak.

Shen Tianxing, accompanied by Liu Xianyun and others, was enthusiastically watching the scene before them.

He had specifically come here to check the situation, and as soon as he arrived, he happened to witness the great battle, and among them were a few who could be considered old acquaintances.

"It seems the Southern Buddha Dynasty doesn't plan to drag this out and wants to find a Breakthrough in the Nanyuan Domain."

"These fellows are all Carefree Realm existences. Their elaborate scheme to set up this trap does seem to have some effect."

...The reason Shen Tianxing specifically came here was also because he had guessed that the sixteen Imperial Dynasty Emperors would not easily give up the opportunity to attack from the Nanyuan Domain. Now, seeing it, it was indeed so.

Throughout the Great Qi Dynasty, it could be said that no one understood the thoughts of these Cultivators better than him.

Don't look at the Nanyuan Domain having the army of the Eight Directions Dragon Suppressing Division here; it's not without its concerns. Without a massive army pressing down, just sending a powerful Cultivator army can achieve unexpected results!

Think about it, Xijiang border, as a territory that is easy to defend and difficult to attack when facing the enemy head-on, what would it feel like if a group of Cultivators suddenly appeared from behind?

If a few Heavenly Phenomenon Realm masters were added, even if the Empress personally intervened, she wouldn't be able to completely resolve them all at once.

At that time, Xijiang would definitely face a major problem.

"A few Carefree Realm Cultivators, aren't you being a bit too cautious? The Great Qi has many masters internally; they should be able to handle it."

Liu Xianyun didn't understand military strategy, so naturally, she didn't know how much impact an organized military formation could have.

Shen Tianxing shook his head and said, "Military strategy states: 'Engage with the orthodox, win with the unexpected!' What they are using now is the 'unexpected.' Fortunately, it was discovered early, and I will not leave them any loopholes to exploit."

"Yueying, this battle will be your turn. With your current Cultivation, dealing with these small fries can be considered practice."

Shen Tianxing didn't plan to act himself; a mere few Carefree Realm Cultivators were not worth his effort.

The main reason was that their experience points were too few, not worth much, so it was better to let Liu Yueying, who had not had many opportunities to act, stretch her muscles.

He had taught Liu Yueying many Cultivation Techniques, and now was the time to use them.

"Sir, then I'm going!"

Liu Yueying was very happy; it was finally her turn to act, and this opportunity could not be missed.

Carefree Realm?

They were a bit weak, but it was still good to get some practice.

With her current Divine Profound Realm Cultivation, dealing with these Carefree Realm demons and ghost Cultivators did not require much effort.

As her words fell, Liu Yueying's figure moved, transforming into a streak of light, and headed towards Bingfeng Fortress.

At the same time, above Bingfeng Fortress, fierce battles continuously erupted with powerful surges of energy, dust flew, and powerful energy impacts spread in all directions. Within a hundred-li radius, it was all scorched earth!

Wang De, as the defending general, was not weak in strength, but he was also outnumbered!

One Old Demon Guishan and one Leng Feihuang had already left him with only the ability to parry, let alone counterattack!

On the other side, the Purple Clothed Fairy, Shen Zangfeng, and Lin Chubin, although they had entered the Carefree Realm, still had a gap compared to these older generation masters!

Boom boom boom!

Strong gusts of wind continuously erupted, and as the airwaves swept through, the three were successively forced back dozens of miles!

Puff puff puff!

The three all spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The gap was too wide!

Corpse Scorpion Maiden and the Yin and Yang Ghosts were all renowned for many years, had Cultivated for hundreds of years, and held Elder positions as powerful individuals. Dealing with a few Prodigies was simply too easy.

Such a gap simply could not be compensated by so-called talent!

"Purple Clothed, later, Senior Brother Lin and I will hold them off first, and you leave immediately!"

The three were all injured and knew the gap was too great. Shen Zangfeng immediately decided to let the Purple Clothed Fairy leave alone!

Lin Chubin had no objections and said in a deep voice, "Don't say anything. Your strength is not as good as ours. We will clear the way for you. If you have a chance, go, and never hesitate!"

True sincerity is seen in life and death!

If it were before, the Eleven Sects of the Righteous Path might not have seemed so harmonious, but today, these two Sect Prodigies had both made sacrifices, and no one was concerned about their lives!

"You..."

The Purple Clothed Fairy's face turned pale, and the shock in her heart was inexpressible.

But she couldn't refuse; it was true that her Heavenly Sound Sect's sound wave Cultivation Technique was indeed formidable, but it couldn't compare to the sword Dao attack techniques of the Azure Cloud Sect and Bright Moon Sword Sect!

"Tsk tsk tsk... You're at death's door, and you still want to leave? Can you escape?"

Corpse Scorpion Maiden preened, her venomous eyes fixed on the three, and she said with a smile.

The Yin and Yang Ghosts, like eerie Ghostly Entities, happened to stand in two blocking positions, making it impossible for them to escape!

Wang De was also in a perilous situation now. The soldiers he brought were all killed in one encounter; no one could help them!

"Corpse Scorpion Maiden, why aren't you staying in the Southern Buddha Dynasty? Running to the Great Qi Dynasty, are you here to deliver your head?"

Just as Shen Zangfeng and the other two felt utterly powerless, a clear and elegant voice suddenly came from not far away!

The tone in these words carried a hint of teasing. Liu Yueying herself didn't realize that after following Shen Tianxing for so long, she had even picked up some of his mannerisms in her speech.

This made Shen Tianxing, who heard it not far away, somewhat amused and annoyed, saying, "That sounds too stiff, a bit overdone in pretending, truly annoying!"

Liu Xianyun, however, smiled and said, "Don't you think it's very similar to how you usually speak to others?"

"Similar to me? How could that be!"

Shen Tianxing shook his head in dissatisfaction!

Xing Yao covered her mouth and laughed, "Actually, Yueying really has learned a few tricks. If her strength were a bit stronger and she tried a few more times, she might grasp the essence!"

"I won't bother with you two. Keep watching and see how much her current Cultivation has improved."

Shen Tianxing wisely refrained from further conversation with the two beauties. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

"Where did this hidden, secretive person come from? How dare you speak to me like that, get out here!"

Corpse Scorpion Maiden was greatly alarmed. Someone had approached them, yet they hadn't been discovered?

Shen Zangfeng and the other two were also startled, and their hearts immediately filled with joy. It seemed help had arrived!

If it was a rescuer, anyone daring to come out at this moment must not be weak!

On Bingfeng Fortress, Liu Yueying, holding a long sword, walked openly towards everyone.

She didn't hide her tracks at all, because there was no need.

Liu Yueying was not famous, but many people knew her. Hiding or not hiding made no practical difference.

The only difference was that she hadn't practiced the sword Dao before, but now she had re-Cultivated once, choosing to forge her own path in the sword Dao.

This path was chosen for her by Shen Tianxing, and she had also Cultivated with Liu Xianyun for about a year, already surpassing her former self!

"Hmm? Are you Liu Yueying, the abandoned disciple of the Heaven Mending Sect?"

Corpse Scorpion Maiden recognized Liu Yueying at a glance!

The Demonic Dao and Ghost Cultivator Dao themselves had many collaborations and no small amount of contention. Liu Yueying, as a Prodigy of the Heaven Mending Sect, could become a Saintess as soon as she entered the Carefree Realm!

With such talent, Liu Yueying's name was not a minor one among demons and ghost Cultivators.

However, she had long been abandoned by the Heaven Mending Sect, rumored to have been expelled, and had not appeared for over a year.
