"Who's there?"
Figures dressed in white robes emerged from the passage, their faces expressionless and their eyes vacant, swords and sabers gripped in their hands.
With slightly stiff steps, they surrounded the martial artists in the center of the hall.
A Mortal Transformation Realm martial artist spoke in confusion.
"Who are you? Where did you come from? Are you here for Martial Saint Azure Cloud's secret manual too?"
What greeted him, however, was a longsword thrust from a white-robed figure's hand.
The Mortal Transformation Realm martial artist hastily blocked the blow.
"What are you doing? We have no quarrel! Why are you attacking me?"
But the white-robed figure showed no intention of stopping and prepared to strike again.
The Mortal Transformation Realm martial artist could no longer hold back. He drew his saber and slashed at the white-robed figure before him.
Clang!
The saber struck the white-robed figure's shoulder, yet left only a shallow mark.
The white-robed figure did not so much as furrow his brow. With a backhand thrust, he drove his sword through the martial artist's chest.
"Ah! How is this possible? You've trained in body-hardening arts!"
The Mortal Transformation Realm martial artist screamed and collapsed, his blood staining the floor red.
The sight threw everyone into a panic. It seemed these white-robed figures were all enemies, but what puzzled the martial artists was where these people had sprung from.
Immediately afterward, the white-robed figures attacked like a surging tide, some swinging swords, others striking with their palms.
These white-robed figures ranged in strength from the Acquired Heaven Realm and Xiantian Realm to the Mortal Transformation Realm and Grandmaster Realm.
Faced with this sudden assault.
The martial artists in the hall were caught off guard. More than a dozen fell in an instant, screams rising one after another.
