On the road to Flame City.

Luo Tong rode at the front, with the banner of the Mad Blade Martial Arts School raised high and impossible to miss.

Wu Yun rode Bai Yun along the side of the convoy.

"Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!" The sound of galloping hooves drew near as a group of over a dozen riders charged up swiftly from behind.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!! At the same time, another group emerged from the forest ahead, blocking the Mad Blade Martial Arts School's Trade Caravan.

They were caught in a pincer attack!

They had been surrounded.

"Enemy attack! Stay alert!"

Luo Tong shouted and drew the treasured saber at his waist.

"Even Black Wind Stronghold dares to meddle in this mess."

Luo Tong looked at the group ahead in surprise. Black Wind Stronghold's appearance had caught him somewhat off guard.

Fortunately, he was not panicking. Black Wind Stronghold was weaker than Black Dragon Stockade and had only one Heavenly Origin Stage expert.

"Kill!"

"Leave none alive!"

Behind them, the forces of the Lei and Xie Families had already charged in. They had no intention of wasting words; they meant to slaughter every member of the Mad Blade Martial Arts School's Trade Caravan.

"Lei Pi, Lei Xing, Xie Yu, plus Cheng Feng from Black Wind Stronghold. Four Heavenly Origin Stage experts. Little Yun, they really think highly of you."

"That includes your weight too, Senior Brother!"

Wu Yun and Luo Tong exchanged a glance, their eyes carrying smiles of a scheme successfully accomplished.

"Form up!"

Luo Tong shouted, and the Mad Blade Martial Arts School's Trade Caravan immediately sprang into action. Disciples emerged one after another from the enclosed carriages, each holding a crossbow.

They were Zhuge Divine Crossbows!

Wu Yun had given the blueprints to the Mad Blade Martial Arts School's smithy long ago and had them begin forging them.

They had later tested the Zhuge Divine Crossbows. These crossbows posed a tremendous threat to Body Tempering Stage cultivators; even Earth Yuan Stage experts could be injured if they were careless.

However, they could not penetrate the protective gang qi of Heavenly Origin Stage cultivators.

Even so, they were already incredibly powerful!

After all, Zhuge Divine Crossbows were merely ordinary weapons and were easy to manufacture.

Using the carriages as cover, they formed two rows and aimed at the forces in front and behind them.

The moment the Lei and Xie Families' forces and Black Wind Stronghold drew close, Luo Tong waved his hand.

"Fire!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

Dark arrows shot out in a concentrated barrage.

Lei Pi and the Black Wind Stronghold men had never seen crossbows as powerful as the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. Caught off guard by their unusual effect, the Body Tempering Stage experts they had brought suffered one after another.

Quite a few Earth Yuan Stage experts were seriously injured as well.

Before they could even reach the Mad Blade Martial Arts School's convoy, they had already suffered grievous casualties, and their lower-level forces had been crippled.

"Damn it! Luo Tong, Wu Yun, you will both die today!" Cheng Feng shouted.

Most of Black Wind Stronghold's men were at the Body Tempering Stage, and they had suffered the greatest losses.

"Senior Brother, leave the three behind us to me," Wu Yun said.

Luo Tong nodded, then raised his saber and charged toward Cheng Feng.

"Hehe, then let's see what you can do."

Luo Tong had already tested Wu Yun's strength before coming here, which was why he trusted him.

"Wu Yun, you crippled Li'er's hand. Today, I will take your life!" Lei Pi narrowed his eyes and glared fixedly at Wu Yun.

Wu Yun said, "You old dogs of the Lei Family, you little dogs of the Xie Family, come on. Your grandfather's life is right here. Let's see which unfilial grandson can take it."

"What a sharp-tongued brat. Stop wasting words and kill him!" Xie Yu's expression was extremely ugly. The Xie Family was allied with the Lei Family, sure, but why were the Lei Family old dogs while the Xie Family were little dogs?

Lei Pi and the other two charged straight at him.

"Bai Yun, you take one. I'll take two!"

Wu Yun slapped Bai Yun's tiger rump, then drew the Thunder Pattern Saber at his waist and rushed forward.

Roar!

Bai Yun swayed her rear and let out a low growl before charging at Lei Pi.

Whoever had been the fiercest toward Wu Yun was the one she wanted to kill. Lei Pi had barked the loudest just now!

A fierce light flashed in Bai Yun's eyes.

She had always been gentle, except when she was killing people.

This Little White Tiger was really tsundere... Seeing Bai Yun choose Lei Pi, the most arrogant and strongest of them, Wu Yun shook his head helplessly and entered a combat state.

His eyes had already turned purple. He could see Lei Xing and Xie Yu's movements with perfect clarity; the Purple Demon Eye was simply too useful in real combat.

A mass of black light gathered in Lei Xing's palm as he prepared to use the Lei Family's fourth-grade ultimate art, Galloping Thunder Light.

Xie Yu, meanwhile, held a Crimson Longsword.

Soul Breaking Blade!

Thunderous Slash!

Wu Yun split his focus in two. The Soul Breaking Blade formed from his spiritual power pierced directly toward Lei Xing, while the Thunder Pattern Saber in his hand slashed at Xie Yu.

From his earlier spiritual probing, Xie Yu was the weaker one. Wu Yun intended to use thunderous means to kill him first.

So he really cultivated spiritual power... Lei Xing's gang qi protected his body as he grimly blocked the Soul Breaking Blade.

Against a mental attack, he could only defend passively.

The skin between his brows split open. His head throbbed with pain, and he was briefly stunned.

Clang!

Blade and sword collided.

On the other side, the Crimson Longsword in Xie Yu's hand snapped in response.

Compared to the Thunder Pattern Saber forged by a Mental Power Master in Wu Yun's hand, his sword was unbearably fragile.

Mad Thunder Saber!

Wu Yun immediately unleashed the Mad Thunder Saber. Powerful Primal Force continuously surged from his Dantian into the Thunder Pattern Saber, while he activated the saber's inscriptions with spiritual power and hacked wildly at Xie Yu.

His Primal Force had been strengthened in succession by a fifth-grade Yin Bead, top-grade Grand Yin Profound Sha Qi, and fourth-grade Yanggang Qi from the Lava Cave. It was far more powerful than that of a Heavenly Origin Stage cultivator like Xie Yu, who absorbed only ordinary yin sha and Yanggang Qi from the air.

Every slash easily broke through Xie Yu's protective gang qi and cut into his body.

The Mad Thunder Saber's defining traits were speed, ferocity, and chaos.

Chaos was one of the saber art's traits and the source of its madness. Once it locked onto a target, it simply hacked wildly, its momentum fierce and frenzied like thunder.

In an instant!

Xie Yu's front was covered in dozens of deep saber wounds. He staggered to the ground, barely alive and not far from death.

The moment Lei Xing regained his senses, he saw Xie Yu being hacked apart like a watermelon. It was an incomparably bloody sight.

"You brat, how ruthless!"

Lei Xing clicked his tongue. A vicious light flashed through his eyes as he struck at Wu Yun with his palm.

He still dared to be so bold because he judged that after killing a mid-Heavenly Origin Stage cultivator with all his strength, Wu Yun must be low on Primal Force.

"Old dog Lei, it's your turn."

"Help me test the power of an Essence-tier Mental Secret Technique!"

Wu Yun sheathed the Thunder Pattern Saber, retreated with the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, then opened his Niwan Palace. Spiritual power surged out madly, forming waves of special fluctuations that erupted violently like vibrating thunder.

Thunder Shockwave!

The air twisted as an invisible shockwave rushed toward Lei Xing.

Bang! Lei Xing's eyes split open, and every strand of his hair stood on end. Before long, two streams of bloody tears flowed from his eyes.

Yet he remained frozen in his attacking posture, the ball of black light in his hand rapidly dimming.

Until he fell!

Lei Xing, dead!

"Not bad," Wu Yun commented lightly to himself.

With his current strength, dealing with two mid-Heavenly Origin Stage cultivators at once—

He could not say it was utterly effortless, but he handled them with ease! On the other side, Bai Yun's tiger claw had already plunged into Lei Pi's body and crushed his heart.

She had successfully ended her battle as well!

"Come on, let's help the others!"

The Lei and Xie Families still had quite a few Earth Yuan Stage experts. They were difficult opponents, locked in an intense battle with the Mad Blade Martial Arts School's forces.

Wu Yun and Bai Yun quickly charged into the fray. Every bit of strength they added meant one fewer death for the Mad Blade Martial Arts School.

As for Luo Tong, Wu Yun only gave him a brief glance. Seeing that he had Cheng Feng firmly suppressed, Wu Yun did not interfere.

Senior Brother cared about his pride too. Since he could handle a one-on-one fight, there was no need to support him.

Otherwise, once they returned and people said that among four Heavenly Origin Stage experts, Wu Yun had killed all four while Luo Tong had killed none, it would make their leader look utterly useless.

With Wu Yun and Bai Yun joining the melee, the battle quickly became one-sided. They slaughtered the Lei and Xie Families' forces and Black Wind Stronghold's men so thoroughly that they did not even have a chance to flee.

At last, the battle was over! This ambush had been completely turned against them!

The Mad Blade Martial Arts School had won a total victory, with losses so slight they were practically negligible! Brothers, it's time to charge the new book rankings.
