Qiu Ruobai's sudden intrusion and his murderous questioning made the already strange situation even more chaotic.
Zhang Yu frowned, his gaze quickly sweeping over Qiu Ruobai and Jiang Luohan in his arms.
He had no recollection of Qiu Ruobai.
But the other party specifically asked for him and Zhang Heng by name, and was also holding Jiang Luohan...
This woman is truly persistent; Cultivation his cultivation destroyed, she can still cause him trouble.
What is her relationship with this young man in white?
A strange thought arose in his mind: he was actually starting to pay attention to Jiang Luohan.
"No, didn't that Obsession dissipate? Why am I still having these thoughts?"
Zhang Yu felt uncomfortable.
On the other side, Zhang Heng, who was hiding, also saw Jiang Luohan in Qiu Ruobai's arms.
He was taken aback at first, then his face revealed undisguised contempt and resentment, and he spat in a low voice:
"Pah! What a shameless slut, who knows when she hooked up with this guy again."
The only one in the arena who showed interest in Qiu Ruobai's appearance was Zhang Lingyun, who was filled with Killing Intent.
"You want to kill Zhang Heng and Zhang Yu?"
She spoke, her voice still carrying that inhumanly cold quality, but with a hint of amusement in her tone.
"None of your business!"
Qiu Ruobai gave a cold shout, his tone forceful and domineering, showing no respect whatsoever.
"Heh, none of my business?"
Zhang Lingyun smiled charmingly, but that smile was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.
"Unfortunately, I also need to kill these two."
She was stating something trivial.
"No one else is qualified to kill the people I want to kill!"
Qiu Ruobai frowned, her tone becoming even colder and more domineering.
He was determined to avenge the woman in his arms himself; how could he allow anyone else to lay a hand on her?
"That depends on whether you have the ability."
Zhang Lingyun's smile deepened, and her eyes shone with a bright crimson light.
Before she finished speaking, she vanished without warning, and in the next instant, she appeared before Qiu Ruobai like a ghost.
Those same seemingly delicate fingers pierced Qiu Ruobai's throat.
"Court death!"
Although Qiu Ruobai was startled, he remained calm. He held the unconscious Jiang Luohan firmly in his left arm, and with his right hand, he pointed his fingers like a sword, neither dodging nor avoiding, and struck out with his palm.
"Bang!"
A dull, unusually muffled impact sound rang out.
There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected. The two men's fingers touched within a small space, and an invisible wave of energy suddenly spread out from the two of them, shattering the stone slabs on the surrounding ground.
Qiu Ruobai swayed slightly, the ground beneath her feet cracked, but she stood firmly.
Jiang Luohan was in his arms, was protected by his True Qi and was not affected.
Zhang Lingyun's figure drifted back half a step, and for the first time, a clear look of surprise appeared in her scarlet eyes.
Although she didn't use her full strength with that finger strike, it was enough to easily injure or even kill an ordinary Great Early Grandmaster.
"Um?"
Zhang Lingyun let out a soft "hmm," her scarlet eyes sweeping over Qiu Ruobai as if trying to see right through him.
"Such a solid foundation, such a familiar aura..."
She murmured to herself, as if she sensed a familiar yet somewhat different flavor from Qiu Ruobai's True Qi.
"Unfortunately, no matter how strong, one must die."
The surprise in Zhang Lingyun's eyes was quickly replaced by a stronger interest and Killing Intent.
As soon as she finished speaking, the Blood Sha Qi around her surged again, even more intense than before, faintly forming a ferocious phantom behind her, and her aura rose once more!
Just as Qiu Ruobai and Zhang Lingyun were locked in a standoff, their auras rising steadily, and a great battle was about to erupt, a sudden change occurred!
The five black-robed figures who had been standing motionless like puppets in the shadows behind Zhang Lingyun suddenly moved at the same time without warning.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized; they instantly spread out in a fan shape, rushing towards Qiu Ruobai from five different directions, exuding a chilling aura of death and a sharp murderous intent!
The five men in black robes coordinated perfectly, as if they were of one mind, sealing off all possible escape routes for Qiu Ruobai, with a clear objective—to kill him in one strike!
"Die!"
Murderous intent flashed in Zhang Lingyun's bloodshot eyes.
She let out a sharp cry, and a surge of Blood Sha Qi erupted around her.
A ferocious, blood-red demonic claw, accompanied by a shrill shriek, struck first, forming a pincer attack with the five black-robed Great Grandmaster, aiming to completely engulf Qiu Ruobai!
Ahead lay the unpredictable Blood Claw, and behind them were five well-coordinated, sinister-looking black-robed Great Grandmaster.
Such a deadly situation would likely have killed an ordinary Great Grandmaster in an instant!
However, Qiu Ruobai is, after all, the number one prodigy of Yuhua Prefecture, a true genius with great Fortune and fortuitous opportunity!
Faced with such a desperate situation, his eyes showed no fear, but instead burned with a fierce fighting spirit.
"Great Sun Brahma Heaven!"
Qiu Ruobai let out a deafening roar, his voice filled with a resolute will to burn the entire world to ashes.
Boom--!
He unleashed all his inner True Qi without holding back, letting it explode with a roar.
The white robes on his upper body, already somewhat damaged from the previous journey and battle, instantly turned into countless fragments under the impact of this violent True Qi.
A dazzling, blinding sun suddenly rose from his body and hung overhead.
When the sun shines, all darkness, filth, and evil forces melt away as quickly as ice and snow meet the blazing sun!
"Ah--!"
The five black-robed Great Grandmaster who attacked from behind were the first to be hit, letting out painful howls.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
Then, five muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously!
The five black-robed Great Grandmaster, who had worked together seamlessly, were actually shaken and sent flying backward by this sudden outburst.
"My God, Qiu Ruobai is so powerful?!"
Qiao Muyun, Lie Wushuang, and other prodigies from Yuhua Prefecture, who were secretly watching the battle from afar, were all stunned and almost cried out.
They knew Qiu Ruobai was very strong, the undisputed number one among the younger generation in Yuhua Prefecture, but they never expected him to be this strong!
Faced with the combined attack of a mysterious woman of unfathomable strength and five well-coordinated Great Grandmaster, he was able to unleash such terrifying power in an instant, forcing the five Great Grandmaster back in one fell swoop.
Even Zhang Yu, who had been observing coldly, showed a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
Qiu Ruobai's strength was even greater than he had anticipated.
"Blazing Sun Divine Art?"
Zhang Lingyun's bloodshot eyes were fixed on the slowly receding sun above Qiu Ruobai's head. For the first time, her face showed undisguised surprise, and even... a trace of deep-seated resentment and hatred.
"How do you know Old Jiang's Blazing Sun Divine Art?"
Her voice suddenly turned sharp and shrill, filled with shock, anger, and disbelief.
The next moment, an even more frenzied Killing Intent flashed in her eyes. "No matter how you obtained the Blazing Sun Divine Art, you must die today."
She raised her hand and pointed a finger.
This seemingly ordinary gesture carried an eerie quality.
"Soul Power?"
Zhang Yu was shocked; he could actually sense Soul Power emanating from Zhang Lingyun.
