Kill!

In the distance.

Chen Changming frowned slightly as he witnessed the scene.

This bow was undoubtedly a treasure, but unfortunately, its consumption was too great; even the people from the Four Seas Merchant Alliance could not use it many times.

The youth did not rush, waiting silently.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the situation of the battle became clear: the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, with their numerical advantage, had completely suppressed the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Both sides suffered constant injuries and deaths, and the total number of people plummeted from forty or fifty down to twenty-odd.

"Everyone, put in some effort and kill every last one of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!"

Li Changfeng shouted loudly.

The person who had been fighting him earlier had already been killed by his hand; he drew his bow once more and fired at a man from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion who was at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

BOOM!

The arrow struck the man like lightning, shattering one of his legs and drastically reducing his combat effectiveness.

At that moment, two people attacked from the left and right, and after a flurry of wild strikes, they finally killed the man.

With this, all the top combatants of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had fallen.

The remaining few, numbering only five or six, had lost all will to fight; while attempting to flee, they were hunted down and killed by the members of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.

There were twelve people left in the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.

Almost all of these twelve were injured, though the severity varied.

"You have all worked hard."

Li Changfeng swallowed a medicinal pill and shouted excitedly, "Now, hurry and collect the spirit herbs. Remember to dig them up by the roots; do not cause any damage..."

The group agreed and took out their herb shovels to begin digging.

Li Changfeng did not move; he stood his ground, holding his bow and keeping watch.

"Do you need any help?"

Chen Changming walked over.

He silently calculated the distance; at this moment, he was over four hundred meters away from Li Changfeng, a range that was exactly within the reach of his Spirit Finger Flick.

When Li Changfeng saw it was Chen Changming, he immediately laughed, "So it is Fellow Daoist Chen. Are you not afraid of death?"

In his eyes, this disciple of the Lingxiao Sect was too weak to pose any threat at all.

"I merely have a knack for watering plants. I presume the Four Seas Merchant Alliance will have need of me in the future, won't they?"

Chen Changming smiled.

Li Changfeng thought for a moment and nodded, "Fellow Daoist Chen has extraordinary attainments in the Cloud Rain Art; the Four Seas Merchant Alliance does indeed need professionals like you."

Chen Changming shrugged and smiled.

Everything was proceeding according to his plan; the Four Seas Merchant Alliance would surely extend an olive branch to someone like him.

The distance closed bit by bit.

When Li Changfeng was only fifty meters away, Chen Changming raised his hand as if no one were around and suddenly unleashed his Spirit Finger Flick.

Chi chi chi chi...

His ten fingers flicked continuously in the air, and thick beams of light whistled out. In a fleeting instant, more than thirty beams of light shot out in all directions.

The primary target of these beams was Li Changfeng.

That fellow's bow was truly formidable; he had to eliminate him first.

"You!"

Li Changfeng managed only a single word before his entire body was enveloped by the dazzling beams of light.

He was riddled with holes and fell on the spot.

As for the others, they fared no better; more than half of them were killed by the Spirit Finger Flick before they could even react.

The remaining four or five people, being further away, managed to dodge in time by using their movement techniques.

"Kill him!"

Their eyes turned bloodshot, and they charged toward Chen Changming with swords in hand.

"Well come!"

The youth shouted coldly, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes. At this point, there was no turning back; he had to kill these five people no matter what.

Fortunately, these five were already wounded, and the highest cultivation among them was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Chen Changming raised both hands and activated his Spirit Finger Flick.

This time, all of his attacks were aimed at the man with the lowest cultivation.

This person was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, with wounds on his chest and right arm.

Chi chi...

The thread-like beams of light blocked almost every inch of space around him. Seeing that there was no way to dodge, the man had no choice but to meet the attack head-on; he swung his blade to create a curtain of light, attempting to block the onslaught.

Boom! Boom!

Seven or eight powerful beams of light slammed into the light wall, sending him flying backward in an instant.

By now, Chen Changming had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, and with the four-fold enhancement of his Evergreen Art, the power of his Spirit Finger Flick had grown significantly.

Sizzle!

The moment the man was sent reeling, several more beams of light descended, instantly riddling him with holes like a sieve.

There was no helping it; his Spirit Finger Flick was too fast, ready the moment he raised his hand, and the density of the attacks was overwhelming. Once a defense was breached, death followed easily.

"Die!"

The other four rushed forward, leaping high into the air as a terrifying barrage of sword light descended like a raging sea.

Having prepared in advance, Chen Changming's entire body was coated in a golden sheen, and he suddenly vanished in a bizarre display.

No one had expected a youth at the fourth level of Qi Refining to possess such uncanny speed, and by the time they realized it, it was already too late.

Boom!

Chen Changming suddenly appeared behind a man at the sixth level of Qi Refining. A few Spirit Finger Flicks blasted through the man's back, killing him on the spot.

Another one had fallen.

At this, the remaining three reacted, immediately turning their full strength against him.

Chen Changming raised his hand, firing off several Spirit Finger Flicks while retreating. Relying on the extreme speed of his Dragon Glide Step, he managed to break through the encirclement of the three men.

One of the sword beams grazed his right arm, yet it didn't even break the skin.

With this, Chen Changming felt even more at ease.

If these people wanted to hurt him, it seemed that would be impossible.

"How can this Lingxiao Sect disciple know body-refining techniques!"

The man at the seventh level of Qi Refining wore a look of horror.

This Chen Changming was too formidable; his movement technique was divine, his Spirit Finger Flick was impossible to guard against, and that powerful body-refining technique made it impossible for them to break his defense.

Hearing the man's shocked exclamation, Chen Changming gave a cold smile and suddenly drew his Purple Lightning Sword.

He did not know the grade of this sword, but it was undeniably powerful, imbued with the force of thunder and lightning.

Rumble...

While dodging, Chen Changming utilized the Lingxiao Sword Technique in tandem with his Spirit Finger Flick. The sword light carried the power of lightning, making it even more terrifying; even with his lower cultivation, he was now causing the three men significant trouble.

However.

His cultivation was ultimately lower, and he could not win in a direct confrontation against the three, but fortunately, they could not harm him either.

Firstly, all three were injured, which hampered their combat effectiveness, and secondly, Chen Changming pushed his Dragon Glide Step to the limit, dodging the vast majority of attacks, while the few that did land were blocked by his golden skin.

If I want to kill these three, I must either exhaust their spiritual energy or succeed with a sneak attack...

He plotted silently while he fought.

The three men from the Four Seas Merchant Alliance grew increasingly alarmed as the fight dragged on. They couldn't win, and instead, their opponent kept launching sneak attacks from every angle, making defense extremely difficult. Once those beams of light hit them, they were certain to die.

After all, they were merely cultivators, and their physical bodies were weak.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Chen Changming succeeded in a sneak attack, first shattering one man's arm with a Spirit Finger Flick, then severing his head with the Purple Lightning Sword.

With only two left, Chen Changming breathed a sigh of relief; the pressure on him eased significantly.

"Run!"

Seeing the situation turn dire, the man at the seventh level of Qi Refining knew that if they kept fighting, both of them would perish, so he was the first to turn and flee.

How could Chen Changming let them escape?

He raised his hand toward the man at the sixth level of Qi Refining and unleashed a frantic barrage of Spirit Finger Flicks.

Boom! Boom...

Fifty or sixty consecutive Spirit Finger Flicks forcibly blasted the man to pieces.

"What kind of technique is this? Why is its power so immense?"

The man at the seventh level of Qi Refining saw his teammate fall and felt his legs go weak with terror.

Even at a distance of over three hundred meters, the technique was instantaneous!

Once he turned to run and exposed his back to his opponent, the only outcome would be death!
