Battle Against Foundation Establishment Experts

These mercenaries were mostly at Qi Refining Level 5 to Qi Refining Level 9.

Yang Lingtian's Qi Refining Level 9 cultivation was considered quite strong here.

So he didn't have to patrol; those with lower cultivation levels were responsible for patrolling.

Soon it was late at night, and many people were sound asleep; even some of the mercenaries responsible for patrolling were drowsy.

Just then, a streak of black light suddenly appeared, shooting from a distance at the patrolling mercenaries with extreme speed.

Clearly, the black light concealed a sharp weapon, which directly struck a mercenary's throat, causing him to fall straight down without even making a sound.

Soon, several streaks of black light appeared continuously, and the patrolling mercenaries fell one after another.

And one of the bodies fell near Yang Lingtian's tent.

Yang Lingtian noticed the commotion outside and suddenly opened his eyes, getting up and walking outside.

The scene before him startled him; there were many bodies on the ground.

And Wang Yun, the only Foundation Establishment expert in the caravan, also noticed the commotion and came out to see this scene.

They both realized that bandits were attacking.

The Foundation Establishment expert Wang Yun roared a reminder, "Not good, everyone be careful, there's an enemy attack!"

At this moment, two more streaks of black light shot towards Yang Lingtian and the Foundation Establishment expert respectively.

Fortunately, both of them had profound skills and reacted quickly, dodging the attacks with a turn of their bodies.

Then they looked around warily at the dark surroundings.

And just now, Wang Yun's loud voice had awakened all the sleeping mercenaries.

Everyone came out of their tents, holding weapons, as if facing a great enemy.

They all walked on the edge of a knife, and were very sensitive to words like "enemy attack," so they could get up quickly when they heard the shout.

At this time, many figures appeared on the periphery, surrounding the caravan.

Everyone's faces changed drastically; it seemed that there were quite a few bandits.

"That's right, that's right, we're going to make a fortune this time!" The voice of a bandit came from the darkness.

It was difficult to see their faces in the dim moonlight.

"Who are you people? This caravan is protected by me, I advise you to leave quickly," Wang Yun shouted.

"Hahaha, what a joke, you're the only one here in the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"But we have two on our side, I advise you to surrender obediently!" The bandit group said arrogantly.

"Stop talking nonsense with them, everyone attack, leave no one alive," the bandit leader ordered.

Then, bandits from all directions swarmed towards them.

Seeing this, Yang Lingtian knew that he had to take action.

However, he only took out an ordinary long sword, using the simplest body techniques and swordsmanship to fight fiercely with the bandits.

The shouts of killing in the crowd were deafening, the collisions of weapons were dense, and there were constant screams of misery.

And the two early Foundation Establishment Stage experts in the bandit group went to besiege Wang Yun.

They believed that as long as they killed Wang Yun, the rest would be small fries, easy to deal with.

And Yang Lingtian, with just his physical strength and pure spiritual power, could unleash his full power, even without using his trump cards, his strength was close to that of an ordinary early Foundation Establishment Stage expert.

Joining the battle, he was unstoppable, constantly wandering through the crowd.

Yang Lingtian's sword was not only so fast that it was impossible to defend against, but also very precise, directly piercing the opponent's throat.

Many bandits with lower cultivation levels could hardly avoid Yang Lingtian's lightning-fast sword.

He was dealing with a group of enemies alone, and screams of misery were constantly heard on the field.

This was the first time he had killed so many people on such a large scale, but the bloody scene did not affect his state of mind in the slightest, and he didn't even frown.

It was as if he had been through hundreds of battles and was used to it, possessing the mentality of a strong person.

As Yang Lingtian's sword continued to stab out, bandits fell one after another.

Those bandits seemed to realize Yang Lingtian's strength and began to dare not approach, especially those with lower cultivation levels than him.

When those bandits moved away from Yang Lingtian, ten figures surrounded him.

These were ten experts at Qi Refining Level 9.

It seemed that the strength Yang Lingtian had shown had attracted their attention, directly attracting ten bandits of the same realm.

"Attack together!"

Ten people launched an attack on Yang Lingtian at the same time.

Faced with ten attacks, Yang Lingtian looked calm and had no fear in his heart.

His figure suddenly moved, and his nimble body skillfully dodged their collective attack.

Subsequently, he swiftly stepped out, his movements ghostlike, arriving before one of the bandits in an instant with incredible speed.

At the same time, the sword in his hand flashed like lightning, abruptly stabbing towards the bandit's throat.

Fast, too fast!

The bandit didn't even have time to react, only seeing a flash of sword light.

Then, he felt a slight numbness in his throat, and his breathing began to become difficult.

Suddenly, bright red blood flowed from his neck, and he couldn't even make a sound as his body slowly fell backward.

The other nine Qi Refining Stage bandits' expressions drastically changed, their hearts filled with shock.

They were all at Qi Refining Level 9, yet he was killed so easily?

Then, the nine of them continued to attack Yang Lingtian with all their might.

In order to quickly end the battle, Yang Lingtian directly used Flowing Cloud Wind Movement.

His speed was so fast that they couldn't even see Yang Lingtian's figure clearly.

As this figure constantly moved, the remaining nine Qi Refining Level 9 experts also fell one after another.

Too fast, they couldn't dodge at all, unable to cope.

Moreover, Yang Lingtian's sword was so fast that they couldn't even capture it with their naked eyes; almost no one could avoid his sword.

Yang Lingtian's one-sided slaughter attracted the attention of the two Foundation Establishment Stage experts who were fiercely fighting Wang Yun.

They didn't expect that there would be such a powerful Qi Refining Stage cultivator. If they didn't stop him immediately, all their men would be killed by him.

They had already suppressed Wang Yun firmly, and with a little more time, they could have killed him.

But now, they had to free up one person to deal with Yang Lingtian.

"What skill, sir, let me have a taste."

A deep voice entered Yang Lingtian's ears, and a fierce attack followed.

Feeling the powerful energy emanating from this attack, Yang Lingtian's expression suddenly changed.

This was a powerful strike from a Foundation Establishment Stage expert; if hit, he would definitely be seriously injured.

Faced with the sudden attack, he used Flowing Cloud Wind Movement, his figure flashing like a ghost, leaving only an afterimage.

That attack hit the afterimage, striking empty air and directly hitting the ground.

With a loud "boom," the ground was blasted into a deep pit.

"Not bad, your reaction is actually so fast!" A figure entered Yang Lingtian's line of sight.

Yang Lingtian looked up and vaguely saw the face of the person opposite him through the faint moonlight.

This person looked like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a well-proportioned and very sturdy body.

This was a Foundation Establishment Stage expert; it seemed he was one of the leaders of this group of bandits.

"Are you here to die?" Yang Lingtian responded indifferently.

Obviously, these words angered that person.

"Arrogant! Just because you have some strength, you dare to be so arrogant? Let me teach you a lesson!"

Instantly, his aura erupted, and with a movement of his figure, he attacked Yang Lingtian with great power.

Yang Lingtian didn't panic and directly used the Hundred Shadow Cold Sword martial skill to deal with it.

This was a Foundation Establishment Stage expert; he didn't dare to be careless.

Soon, the two figures collided together, producing tyrannical energy ripples, preventing other Qi Refining Stage cultivators from approaching.

The Foundation Establishment Stage expert on the opposite side became more and more shocked as he fought; a Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator could actually unleash such powerful strength.

This was something he had never encountered before.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and exclaimed, "Martial skill, it's definitely a martial skill, and not a simple one at that!"

"I didn't expect that a mere Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator like you would be able to use martial skills; no wonder you can display such powerful strength."

Then, his shock gradually turned into excitement, and there was a hint of greed in his eyes as he looked at Yang Lingtian.

"Hahaha, if I can obtain such a martial skill, my strength will skyrocket!"

"I'm going to capture you alive and take you back!"

Yang Lingtian sneered, "Hmph, I'm afraid you don't have the ability."

Seeing Yang Lingtian provoking him like this, the Foundation Establishment Stage expert's anger grew even more intense.

His attacks became several times stronger, each strike rushing towards Yang Lingtian like thunder.

The attacks contained powerful energy, without holding back, obviously wanting to defeat him with one blow.

Yang Lingtian's eyes were firm as he wielded his long sword to meet the Foundation Establishment Stage expert's attack.

The powerful attacks collided together, instantly erupting into gusts of air.

The two exchanged blows, and each collision caused strong vibrations in the surrounding air.

But the robber didn't gain the slightest advantage; he found that his attacks could hardly cause any substantial damage to Yang Lingtian.

"This kid is truly astonishing!" the Foundation Establishment expert sighed inwardly.

He began to realize that he might have underestimated Yang Lingtian's strength.

In the current situation, it was really hard to tell who would win.

Yang Lingtian calmly faced the Foundation Establishment expert's attacks, not in a hurry to defeat him.

He didn't even take out his Low-Grade Spirit Sword, because he didn't want to reveal too many of his trump cards.

He was already showing his strength, but being too high-profile would inevitably attract more attention.

So he planned to keep the stalemate going.

The battle lasted for more than an hour. Seeing that they couldn't take down the caravan, the group of robbers decided to retreat helplessly.

"Damn it, it looks like we can't take them down. I didn't expect this caravan to have a Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator whose strength is comparable to a Foundation Establishment expert."

"Everyone retreat!"

Soon, the surviving robbers retreated one after another.

The two Foundation Establishment experts also had no choice but to retreat in the end. Since they couldn't win, continuing the fight would only result in more losses.

The Foundation Establishment expert who was fighting fiercely with Yang Lingtian also retreated reluctantly.

Just like that, the black night filled with shouts of killing quickly subsided.

"We won, we won!"

When the battle stopped, the remaining mercenaries began to cheer loudly.

However, although they repelled this group of robbers this time, a third of the caravan's mercenaries were also killed.

The overall strength was greatly reduced.
