Black Wind Cave is thirty miles west.

Chen Jianghe is at the forefront.

Five steps behind him, Sun Hongyao followed with his spear.

The excitement on her face has not faded, and her impatience has climbed to the top of her brows, and she frequently urges. "Go faster! Why are you dawdling?"

After that, there are Xu Tian, Liu Yu, and two other disciples Golden Pivot Court.

All five of them were holding weapons, their expressions were tense, and their eyes couldn't help but scan the dense forest around them.

The closer you get to Black Wind Cave, the quieter the forest becomes.

"Senior Brother Xu," Liu Yu lowered his voice, almost speaking in a breathy tone, "Black Mountain Five Bandits has been here for many years - can we really accomplish anything?"

Xu Tian smiled bitterly, glanced at the back of Sun Hongyao in front of him, and lowered his voice. "You still don't understand what Manager Sun is thinking? She has been stuck at the peak of Huajin for many years, and she urgently needs credit in exchange for resources to break through. Black Mountain Five Bandits's head and nest property are the biggest fat in her eyes."

"But this is life-threatening----" Liu Yu clenched the spear in his hand.

Chen Jianghe suddenly stopped.

"What?" Sun Hongyao lowered his voice impatiently, "Are you scared?"

"Guanshi Sun," Chen Jianghe said slowly, "the atmosphere here is not right, there may be an ambush. Why not observe from a distance first----"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Sun Hongyao Gilded Gold Spear moved forward, the tip of the gun was only three inches away from his vest. "Come in as you are told! If you dare to shirk your responsibility, I will now treat you as disobeying the order and destroy one of your arms first!"

Among the four Golden Pivot Court disciples behind her, two were her confidants. At this moment, they had already grasped their weapons and stared at Chen Jianghe with evil eyes.

Xu Tian and Liu Yu opened their mouths to persuade, but Sun Hongyao stared back with a cold look.

Chen Jianghe was silent for three breaths.

Then, he nodded, turned around, and faced the dark valley mouth.

He kept walking, but his right thumb quietly held the tail of a Willow Leaf Dart.

A group of people stepped into the rocky area in the valley.

Just then-

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The sound of breaking the sky sounded from three sides at the same time!

"Enemy attack!" Liu Yu exclaimed in shock.

Chen Jianghe had already moved the moment the crossbow string sounded!

He stepped fiercely, his body swept three feet to the left, and three crossbow arrows grazed the corners of his clothes and were nailed into the gravel behind him;

The right hands were raised at the same time, and three Willow Leaf Dart turned into green light and shot out!

"Ding! Ding! Poof!"

Two Willow Leaf Dart hit the crossbow arrows fired from the right, and the third one sank into the shadow behind the rock, and a muffled groan was heard.

Sun Hongyao reacted half a beat slower, Gilded Gold Spear danced quickly, the shadow of the gun was like a wheel, and knocked away two crossbow arrows aimed at her.

She shouted in a sharp voice, which shook the valley. "How can you hide your head and show your tail!"

"Hahaha--

Wild laughter sounded from behind the boulder ahead.

A burly figure jumped onto the top of the stone.

The person who came here was about forty years old, with a fleshy face and a scar on his left cheek from the corner of his eyebrow to his chin.

His upper body was bare, his muscles were taut, and his chest was tattooed with a head looking up to the sky and roaring Black Wolf.

Both arms are covered with cold light Diamond Claws, and the claw blade is more than eight inches long.

"Black Wolf!" Xu Tian shouted, his voice trembling.

Black Wolf grinned, and his own light swept across the crowd, lingering on Sun Hongyao for a particularly long time.

It slowly moved down from her plump breasts, swept across her slender waist, and landed on her hips and crotch, which were stretched out by the strong clothing.

He licked his lips, his lustful eyes undisguised. "Xingyi Sect's little brat has a weird nose, he can actually touch here."

After a pause, his smile deepened, "Oh, there is also a girl. She has thin skin and tender flesh, just right for me to warm my bed."

"Presumptuous!"

Sun Hongyao was furious, his cheeks were red, and he didn't know whether he was embarrassed or angry.

She Gilded Gold Spear vibrated, the gun body buzzed, and the gun wind suddenly rose!

"I will take your dog's life today to eliminate harm for the people!"

Before she could finish her words, she had already pointed her gun towards him!

The power at the peak of Huajin is unreserved, and this spear is enough to penetrate a foot thick bluestone!

Black Wolf grinned ferociously, Diamond Claws crossed and blocked!

"Dang-!!!"

Gold and iron clash, and sparks fly!

Sun Hongyao This shot was so shocked that the gun body trembled violently and the tiger's mouth became numb!

She took three steps back, Gilded Gold Spear almost lost her hand, and fear finally flashed in her eyes.

But Black Wolf only took half a step back.

Half step.

"Golden Pivot Court's marksmanship is nothing more than that."

Black Wolf licked a shallow mark on Diamond Claws that was burned by the gun light, and the fierce light in his eyes became stronger.

"Come again."

He crossed his claws and lunged forward suddenly, his attack like a downpour!

Sun Hongyao gritted his teeth and started taking action again.

Xu Tian and Liu Yu looked at each other and had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack.

The two close disciples also surrounded him from the flanks.

Six figures fought together among the rocks. The sound of clashing weapons, roars, and the smell of blood mixed together and echoed in the valley.

Chen Jianghe did not take the initiative to step forward.

He always walked on the edge of the battlefield, Phantom Shadow Steps unfolded at full strength, and the afterimage shuttled between the rocks and the fire like a ghost.

Neither rush forward to fight for your life, nor retreat back.

Just skimming and observing.

Black Wolf was one against six, and Diamond Claws danced so tightly that he clearly had the upper hand.

But Chen Jianghe noticed -

His steps were always moving backward.

One step, two steps, three steps----

Towards the entrance of the cave.

"He wants to run away!" Sun Hongyao shouted fiercely with his gun even faster, "Chase! I will take the head from this wolf's neck today!"

"Guanshi Sun!" Xu Tian said urgently, the tip of the gun was stained with blood, and his breath was obviously disordered. "The terrain in the cave is unknown. If you pursue a hasty pursuit, you may be ambushed.""

"Shut up!"

Sun Hongyao didn't look back, Gilded Gold Spear stabbed Black Wolf straight into the back of the heart.

Black Wolf stepped aside and took advantage of the situation to retreat another three feet, reaching the edge of the cave entrance.

He turned around and grinned at Sun Hongyao.

There was no lustfulness in that smile, nor was there any trace of defeat and embarrassment.

There is only an unspeakable mockery.

The greed for success, coupled with the anger of being humiliated, has already burned away the last trace of Sun Hongyao's sanity.

"Chase!!!"

She jumped into the darkness of the cave entrance first.

Xu Tian, Liu Yu had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow closely.

The two close disciples hesitated for a moment and then followed in.

Chen Jianghe stood at the entrance of the cave.

The night wind blew in, bringing with it the cold and fishy smell unique to the depths of the cave, as well as a very faint, inexplicable smell of blood.

He lowered his eyes.

Then, step in slowly.

Black Wind Cave is much deeper inside than on the outside.

When I first entered, there was residual light, but after walking more than thirty feet, the light disappeared.

A rosin torch was stuck every few feet on the stone walls on both sides. The flames flickered, illuminating the cave with varying brightness.

Chen Jianghe always keeps a distance of ten feet from the battle circle in front, while Phantom Shadow Steps is light and silent when it lands.

He could see the back of Black Wolf. The burly body dragged out a long shadow under the firelight. Every time he blocked, he used force to retreat. The rhythm of his steps matched perfectly with Sun Hongyao's attack.

It's like it's been rehearsed countless times.

He chased another thirty feet.

The front suddenly becomes clear.

This is a natural cave hall with a radius of more than ten feet and a height of about three feet.

Stalagmites hang upside down like a forest on the top of the cave, and a few black bear skins are spread in the central depression. Wine jars, dried meat, and scattered silver coins are piled on the skins.

The cave walls are surrounded by torches, illuminating the entire cave hall as bright as day.

Black Wolf retreated to the center of the cave hall and stopped suddenly.

He turned around slowly.

Sun Hongyao Gilded Gold Spear pointed directly at his throat and sneered, "Run away? Why don't you run away?"

Black Wolf has no answer.

He just raised his right hand Diamond Claws and slowly wiped a shallow wound on his left arm with the inside of his claw blade.

It was left behind by the gun blade of Liu Yu during the melee just now. Even the skin and flesh were not broken, only a few drops of blood seeped out.

He wiped slowly and carefully.

Then, he raised his head.

A smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.

That smile was completely different from the previous ferocious one.

Calm.

Even - with compassion.

"Escape?"

Black Wolf whispered, his voice almost gentle.

"Manager Sun, do you think I am on the run?"

His claws suddenly pulled horizontally, and the aura around him suddenly exploded like stagnant water broken by stones!!!

"Boom!!!"

A completely different pressure surged out of Black Wolf's body like real substance!

That's not Huajin.

The pressure was like a mountain collapsing, like an abyss devouring it, instantly covering the entire cave hall!

Sun Hongyao's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Gang, Gang Jin?! You are actually Gang"

"Just broke through." Black Wolf grinned.

His eyes were instantly red as blood.

The red light gushes out from the depths of the pupils like lava, filling the entire eyeball in an instant!

Deep in the pupils, there is a faint incomplete blood moon slowly rotating!

Under the skin all over his body, red veins spread like a spider web. Every time his heart beats, those veins pulse, pumping blood to his limbs and bones!

Xu Tian's liver and gallbladder were split, his legs were weak, and he could hardly stand still.

His lips trembled violently, and he squeezed out four words from between his teeth, his voice completely distorted by fear: "Sun----Moon----Demon----Gong----"

Liu Yu exclaimed, "Sun-Moon Divine Cult! That's Sun-Moon Demonic Art of Sun-Moon Divine Cult!"

There was despair in his voice. "This skill relies entirely on swallowing the essence and blood of warriors to improve your cultivation! Back then, Sun-Moon Divine Cult was raging in the world, and how many righteous masters were sucked into mummies! This magic skill has been banned for a long time, how can it still be used?"

"I know a lot."

Black Wolf laughed softly.

He raised his right paw, and the claw blade was still stained with blood drops that he had wiped off just now.

The blood beads glowed with a strange dark red luster under the light of the torch.

"I recognize this skill."

He paused, his eyes slowly scanning every horrified face in the cave hall, and his smile gradually deepened.

"Then you should know that no one can escape tonight."
