Although the blade light was fast, the burly man's figure was even faster.
The moment the blade light fell.
His figure darted out like a phantom.
Then he threw a punch, and a violent fist aura roared from his fist.
The power of the fist was fierce and unparalleled.
The two attackers struck an afterimage with their blades, twisting their bodies and slashing towards the big man's fist.
A ferocious blade aura erupted from their long swords.
It collided with the big man's fist.
A burst of energy erupted from where they clashed, making a piercing sound as it hit the air.
The three figures immediately separated.
The two sides were in a standoff.
"Northern Desert Twin Bladesmen! We have no quarrel."
The strong man said in a deep voice.
After one exchange, he had already identified who they were.
"We take money to resolve troubles. We took someone's money, so naturally, we have to do the job!"
"Zitan Palace, Adamantine Iron Arm Du Feiwu, we've also wanted to see the power of your iron fist."
As he spoke.
The two men once again shot towards the big man, the light from their blades instantly flaring up, tearing through the air and transforming into fierce blade energy as they attacked him.
"Adamantine Iron Arm!"
The strong man grunted, and streams of golden light began to flow within his arm. In an instant, his arm seemed to turn to gold.
Clang! Clang!
The next moment, the sound of metal colliding rang out.
Amidst the storm of blade light, a streak of golden light continuously struck out, blocking the ferocious blade energy.
While the three were fighting.
The woman in the purple dress frowned slightly.
She was on her way to Qingcheng's Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower to investigate the cause of Su Mengbai's death.
Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower wasn't much to Zitan Palace, but it was very important to their Mu Family.
Not only did it help the Mu Family gather information about the situation within the passes, but it also provided them with financial support.
The Ancestor's intention was for Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower to remain under the control of their Mu Family!
But she hadn't expected someone to attack them before even reaching Qingcheng.
"Is it someone from Qingcheng, or someone from Zitan Palace!"
Mu Qingxue thought to herself.
Zitan Palace was vast, with many factions, and internal strife was common.
Her eyes were fixed on the battle between the three.
Judging by the fight, the Northern Desert Twin Bladesmen could temporarily hold off Du Feiwu when fighting together, but if it went on for too long.
The Northern Desert Twin Bladesmen would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.
Hiss! Hiss!
Just then, the sounds of two horses neighing rang out.
Her gaze shifted towards her horses.
Both horses had fallen to the ground, foam sputtering from their mouths. They appeared to have been poisoned and were beyond saving.
"You're asking for death!"
Mu Qingxue's eyes turned cold as she scanned her surroundings.
Suddenly, she let out a sharp cry and darted towards a spot not far behind the horses.
The moment she moved, her waist flickered, and a thunderous sword energy, like lightning, struck towards the fleeing figure.
Her speed was incredible.
Mu Qingxue's strength was extraordinary.
The fleeing figure, seeing this, reached out his palm directly towards the lightning-like sword energy.
Clang clang clang.
He caught Mu Qingxue's sword move with his palm.
Mu Qingxue looked at him.
The opponent had a layer of dark light on their hands, wearing a pair of gloves made of dark iron that were indestructible.
At this moment, their eyes were looking at Mu Qingxue with a sinister gaze.
Mu Qingxue didn't stop and continued to draw her sword. The person also clenched their palm into a fist.
It collided with Mu Qingxue's long sword.
Boom!
The long sword collided with the arm, generating a massive airflow that clashed with the air. The air seemed to explode, forming a swirling current that swept outwards, instantly kicking up dust and sand around them.
"Little girl, your strength is not bad. To have reached the Innate Peak Stage at such a young age, but you're still a bit lacking when fighting me!"
"However, our mission is complete, and there's no need for us to attack you."
After speaking, their figures sped away into the distance.
On the other side, the two individuals who were fiercely fighting Du Feiwu instantly repelled him and turned to leave.
Their speed was extremely fast.
It seemed their purpose for coming here wasn't to kill people, but to kill horses.
"This!"
Watching the three figures speeding away.
Mu Qingxue's brows furrowed tightly.
The burly man, Du Feiwu, came to Mu Qingxue's side.
"Are they trying to delay us from reaching Qingcheng City?"
Du Feiwu said in a deep voice.
"That should be the case. Let's go now!"
Mu Qingxue said nothing. With their horses dead, they could only travel to Qingcheng City on foot.
However, after they left.
An old man appeared and headed in the direction the three had fled.
Not long after.
The three who had left earlier were found dead in a pool of blood.
There was a sword mark on their throats, and blood sprayed out from them, staining the setting sun.
At sunset!
Su Chen and Liu Wumei arrived at Qin Cui Mountain by carriage.
Liu Wumei took out a map, checked it, and said to the old man driving the carriage, "Wait for us here. We're going into the mountain!"
Looking at the dense mountain forest before them, Su Chen said, "Why don't we go into the mountain tomorrow morning?"
Although he had accepted this body, Su Chen's previous sense of security was still deeply ingrained in his mind.
This was the mindset of modern society, and it wouldn't change in a short period.
"You cherish your life? This is not the way of a martial artist's cultivation!"
Liu Wumei said, looking at Su Chen.
This Su Chen gave the impression of being extremely cautious.
"Cherishing life is for longer cultivation. I'm not very willing to put myself in danger."
"Of course, Madam Liu, your confidence mainly comes from your own strength. If Madam had the same strength as me, I think Madam wouldn't rashly enter the mountain."
Su Chen said, looking at Liu Wumei.
"I will protect you, so you don't need to worry about your safety!"
"You're so hesitant, it will be difficult to become a martial arts overlord."
After speaking, Liu Wumei flashed and headed into the mountain.
Su Chen had no choice but to follow.
The two ran at full speed and, after a while, arrived at the location indicated on the map.
Looking at a dark canyon before them.
Su Chen said, "It should be there, but the entrance seems to be guarded by Lei Hall personnel. How do we get in!"
"Kill them?"
Hearing Su Chen's words, Liu Wumei beside him was stunned.
He was so cautious just now.
But now he wanted to kill people. The transition was a bit too abrupt.
"I'm starting to doubt the reliability of your information. Both the Blood Demon Flower and the Fifth-grade Lotus Platform are rare treasures."
"Why would they let ordinary martial artists guard them?"
Liu Wumei frowned and said.
"You think so? Perhaps many people do. This might be their cleverness. Since we're here, let's go in and take a look!"
"I've seen this map. Behind the valley, there should be a rock face. With your skills, you should be able to carry me down into the valley."
Su Chen looked at Liu Wumei and said.
"Let's go!"
Liu Wumei nodded. Since they had come, she definitely had to see it.
As for the place Su Chen mentioned, she had also seen it on the map.
Beneath the rock face, Liu Wumei directly held Su Chen and landed in the valley.
"So cold!"
As they landed, Su Chen couldn't help but say.
Of course, this chill, upon entering Su Chen's body, was eliminated by the icy aura within him.
"This is Yin Sha Qi. Why is there such dense Yin Sha Qi in this valley?"
Sensing the aura here, Liu Wumei frowned.
