"Not good! Draw your swords!"
Qian Zhen's expression changed drastically in an instant. Alarm bells blared in his heart as a furious roar exploded through Hundred Leaf Forest.
The other three reacted almost the moment the warning arose, pale golden Gang Qi already covering their black armor.
"Clang!" Four flashes of sword light appeared at once!
Four longswords of different designs flew from their sheaths. Sword light shot into the heavens as four incomparably sharp edges intertwined, wound together, and overlapped in midair, forming an impenetrable net of swords before them!
The sword net was sharp enough to split mountains and sever rocks. Its residual force alone shredded the branches and leaves of the ancient trees around them inch by inch.

However—
The Red Dust Envoy's speed far exceeded the limit of what the naked eye could capture! In that instant, all they saw was crimson mist filling the sky.

"Bang!!!"
A world-shaking blast rang out!
