Shen Yi raised an eyebrow.

When had he ever said he would take care of Zhao Qiushan?

Suddenly, two wiry men burst out from the chaotic melee, their broadswords overlapping in the air.

The surging force they exuded was like a tidal wave.

"Kid, prepare to die!"

The two men roared, attacking with hatred.

However, although Shen Yi's cultivation was still at the first-rate level, his actual combat strength had suddenly increased significantly.

He simply shook Cold Night in his hand.

The perfected Concealed Edge Sword Style manifested abruptly.

A clear ring of the blade echoed.

The sharp light of the blade seemed to bloom out of thin air in the pitch-black night, so fast it was invisible, yet as imposing as a mountain.

Clang!

With a resounding crash.

The Long River Duo's wave-like blade force shattered instantly, their bodies flying backward like broken kites.

"Damn, this kid's even fiercer!"

Shen Yi was about to follow up with a finishing blow.

A silver bell-like laugh came from behind him, "Little brother, I'll play with you," and the sound of rushing wind suddenly descended from above.

Shen Yi didn't even turn his head.

He only felt a darkness overhead, as if something was blocking the light. He immediately abandoned the pursuit, spun around quickly, and slashed out with his blade.

He saw the White Rakshasa's mountain-like body descending from the sky, her hands wielding steel forks, forming a powerful whirlwind.

Then, with the force of splitting a mountain.

She chopped straight down!

Shen Yi responded hastily, twisting his wrist and meeting the unstoppable steel fork with the back of his blade, resulting in a muffled thud.

His wrist spun rapidly.

He barely managed to deflect the steel fork to the side, but his body flew backward just like the Long River Duo had!

This woman has monstrous strength!

Moreover, she pressed her advantage, following closely, the steel fork hurtling towards Shen Yi's heart with the force of cleaving mountains and splitting seas.

Shen Yi's body was still in mid-air.

He forcibly twisted himself around.

Cold Night in his hand moved horizontally, the shadow of the blade shimmering and spreading. With the Concealed Edge stance, Shen Yi unleashed the rapid slashes of "Sudden Rain and Swift Wind"!

Instantly, the dense shadows of the forks and the endless shadows of the blades produced a continuous series of metallic clashes.

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged more than a dozen blows.

The White Rakshasa was secretly shocked.

What's this kid's background?!

He looked young, yet his foundation was so profound.

Her innate monstrous strength was gradually dwarfed by Shen Yi's blade force, which grew heavier with each strike.

"If you're not dead, hurry up and come help?!"

On the other side, the Long River Duo stood up from the bushes in a disheveled state, just in time to see Shen Yi fighting fiercely with the White Rakshasa, even forcing her into a retreat!

They immediately roared and charged forward with their blades.

They had no concept of one-on-one duels; killing the enemy was their ultimate principle.

Zhao Qiushan, who was not far away, exclaimed in alarm:

"Chen Yu!"

He wanted to warn Shen Yi, but he himself was held back by the Black Rakshasa and was unable to provide any support!

Shen Yi kept his eyes open and his ears perked.

Naturally, he saw the ambushing duo.

He gripped the Cold Night long blade, suddenly exerted force, forced the White Rakshasa back several steps, squeezing out an opening.

Grass Treading Flight was rapidly activated under his feet, and he tapped the ground.

His body retreated swiftly like a willow catkin, the thick-backed blade spinning in his palm, reversing his grip, and slashing down on the duo's heads.

Clang!

The force reverberated!

Forcing the Long River Duo to halt their charge and defend with all their might.

However, Shen Yi's downward slash was a feint. He spun around and hurled his long saber, transforming it into a sharp blade of light that shot towards the White Rakshasa, who was giving chase from behind.

His target wasn't the Long River Duo.

It was still the White Rakshasa!

Shen Yi's series of feints, switching targets, had the White Rakshasa and the Long River Duo completely bamboozled.

The White Rakshasa, who had been in pursuit, saw Cold Night flying towards her and hurriedly changed her move, raising her steel fork to defend.

Clang!

The sharp blade sparked against the fork's shaft, deflected by the White Rakshasa, and embedded itself deeply into the towering tree trunk.

The next second.

Shen Yi, using Grass Treading Flight, was already upon her.

His hands formed claws, grabbing the fork's handle with one hand and the White Rakshasa's wrist with the other.

He unleashed his power, Bone Dislocation Tendon Severing!

The White Rakshasa screamed, instinctively releasing her grip. Shen Yi yanked hard, and the steel fork fell into his hands.

Bang!

Shen Yi kicked the White Rakshasa hard in the chest.

Twisting his waist and hips.

With the motion of a javelin thrower, he hurled the steel fork towards the approaching Long River Duo!

Blocking them once more!

Shen Yi flashed, landing on the tree trunk.

Gripping the saber's hilt with one hand, he pulled Cold Night from the tree, then kicked off the trunk with both feet.

His body was like a fierce tiger, pouncing swiftly towards the White Rakshasa.

Cold Night was held to his side.

The saber's momentum was like a nine-heaven long river being drawn into a pot.

Gathered but not yet released.

The White Rakshasa looked up and saw Shen Yi had already reached her, his speed so fast. Her weapon had been seized, and there was no time to dodge!

Her eyes instantly filled with boundless fear!

She subconsciously raised her thick arm in front of her, trying to block, but it was merely a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Time seemed to stretch out.

Shen Yi's movements seemed slow in the White Rakshasa's eyes, like slow motion. She faintly heard the wind whistling past her ears.

Or perhaps it was Shen Yi's whisper.

"Listen, to the wind!"

Suddenly, the saber light flashed from his waist, cutting through the flesh of her arm, severing her bones, and reaching her neck.

Pfft!

That head, soaked in fear.

Fell down with a thud.

[Slain a first-rate jianghu martial artist, gained four years and five months of secluded cultivation time]

Adding to the seven Yaksha Faction members Shen Yi had previously killed, Shen Yi's secluded cultivation time accumulated to an unprecedented level.

[Secluded Cultivation] Remaining: 7 years and 4 months

The Long River Duo, having just blocked the flying steel fork, saw the White Rakshasa being killed by Shen Yi's saber!

They were immediately scared out of their wits.

What talk of avenging their brother? They immediately turned around and fled desperately into the crowd.

Shen Yi flicked Cold Night, splattering blood everywhere.

His figure leaped out again, chasing after them using Grass Treading Flight, plunging into the crowd, intent on exterminating them.

At the same time.

A sorrowful howl echoed through the jungle.

"White hag!"

The Black Rakshasa, seeing his wife die tragically, roared in grief and lost his composure. Zhao Qiushan, although simple-minded, wasn't stupid.

He naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

The two Xuanhua axes spun in his hands like wheels, chopping down in an alternating pattern. The heavy, mountain-like force of the axes cascaded down like a waterfall.

The dazed Black Rakshasa subconsciously raised his steel fork to block.

But with a clang, it snapped in two.

Two rough and savage axe wounds instantly appeared on his back, and with a painful wail, the Black Rakshasa returned to the underworld.

Cold Night in Shen Yi's hand continuously severed the throats of two people, and wherever Shen Yi approached, the Whale Gang members scattered and fled.

Only the Long River Duo's figures were not caught.

At that moment, the Black and White Rakshasa perished.

The Long River Duo fled far away.

The Yaksha Faction completely lost its backbone, and the advantage of numbers was gradually reversed by the Broken Blade Hall led by Zhao Qiushan.

The Yaksha crumbled.

Shen Yi sheathed his blade.

Without saying a word, he leaped onto a tree and bounded away into the distance.

Zhao Qiushan was still fighting fiercely.

He shouted loudly in the direction where Shen Yi disappeared:

"Brother Chen Yu!"

"Old Zhao begs you, you must save my big brother!"

The echo faded away, and Shen Yi's figure had long since vanished.
