Directly Ascending Black Wind to Turn the World Upside Down, the Great Stronghold Master's Stone Chamber

Black Wind Stronghold!

Located at the summit of Black Wind Mountain!

It was a vast stronghold, with its back against a hundred-meter-high cliff.

The other three sides were formed by small city walls built from earth and stone.

They were about a zhang high!

On the city walls, several bandit lackeys, holding torches, patrolled back and forth.

This made Jiang Yi's idea of secretly sneaking in and defeating them one by one undoubtedly fall through!

Then there was only one way—

"Da! Da! Da..."

Footsteps gradually sounded!

From far to near, accompanied by the sound of raindrops splashing, they grew louder.

As if possessing a special rhythm!

Entering their ears, it felt like it was stepping on their internal organs!

An inexplicable sense of suffocation washed over them!

Making them unable to catch their breath!

"Who's there?"

A bandit raised a torch, vaguely illuminating a clearing in front of the stronghold's gate.

A tall figure slowly appeared!

He walked forward step by step!

In his right hand, he held a Ghost Head Great Saber, its blade emitting a sharp glint!

Making one's heart tremble!

"Who are you?"

"This is Black Wind Stronghold, stop right there, halt..."

The tall figure didn't stop!

Instead, he turned a deaf ear and continued forward, step by step, as if strolling through a garden.

"Damn it, are you deaf? Don't you understand..."

Finally!

At a distance of less than two zhang from the stronghold gate, the silhouetted figure stopped!

The next moment!

"Boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, the ground beneath his feet instantly turned into a huge pit, and he leaped high into the air!

Raising the great saber in his hand, he brought it down with the force of splitting a mountain!

The sharp glint emanated, descending from the heavens like a silvery-white ribbon, landing on the stronghold gate, which was forged from sturdy ironwood.

With a single strike!

The gate shattered into pieces, with mud and stone splashing everywhere!

This action left the bandit lackeys standing on the city walls stunned on the spot!

"At... attack?!"

"Enemy, it's an enemy, an enemy has broken in!"

"Dang dang dang..."

A bandit lackey screamed and shouted, quickly banging the copper gong in his hand.

"Buzz!"

A cold light flashed, and the entire person, along with the gong, was split in two, blood pouring out like a flood.

[Killed one ordinary enemy, plundered 3 years of Lifespan.]

Jiang Yi moved between the city walls, killing one person with each step!

With a single saber strike, they immediately became lost souls!

[Killed one ordinary enemy, plundered 1 year of Lifespan.]

[Killed one ordinary enemy, plundered 2 years of Lifespan.]

[...]

The commotion on the city walls had already alerted the entire stronghold.

The stronghold instantly "boiled" over!

"Enemy attack? What enemy attack?"

"Who dares to attack Black Wind Stronghold? Are they tired of living?"

"How audacious! Don't they know the reputation of Black Wind Stronghold?"

"Kill! I'm going to kill two people!"

Amidst a barrage of curses, thirty to forty people rushed out from the stronghold.

They held all sorts of sharp weapons in their hands!

Each of them exuded a fierce aura of mountain bandits!

Jiang Yi stood with his saber at his side, bathed in the rain!

He stood on the city wall, looking down from above at the thirty to forty bandits below.

A surge of heroism rose in his heart, his blood boiling!

Threads of intent emanated from him, some heavy, some magnificent, some fierce, some arrogant...

An invisible wave rippled outwards, as if creating a vacuum in the surrounding space.

His damp grey clothes gradually dried, and his black hair whipped wildly in the wind!

"Kill!!!"

Jiang Yi spoke, a soft shout!

He leaped from the city wall, raising his Ghost Head Great Saber--

Determined to obliterate all living beings!

He was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, invincible, unstoppable!

One horizontal slash swept through the area, shattering three or four bandits at the waist.

Even a slight touch caused instant bone-crushing and flesh-tearing!

Under the immense power!

Whether they were sprites, demons, or ghosts, all were utterly crushed!

No matter how fierce the thirty to forty bandits were!

In front of him, they were like straw dummies, utterly unable to resist.

Blood stained the ground, flowing around with the rainwater!

Limbs and broken bones were scattered everywhere, the scene extremely brutal!

Suddenly!!!

A long sword stabbed out from the darkness, like the breath of a venomous snake hiding in the shadows!

Poised to strike, waiting for an opportunity!

As if seeing an opening, it launched its attack in an instant, baring its fangs!

It lunged towards Jiang Yi's back!

Jiang Yi sensed it, twisted to the side, and swung his saber down.

"Clang!!!"

Sword and saber clashed, sparks flying!

A resonant clang and hum!

The long sword shattered into countless fragments, and the great saber also suffered a huge nick.

With a gentle shake, it snapped in two from the middle.

It seemed the weapons were of the same level!

The sword wielder's pupils constricted upon seeing this!

Without a second thought, he retreated rapidly, attempting to re-enter the darkness.

"Trying to leave?!"

Jiang Yi discarded the remaining half of his saber!

He leaped forward, like a swan goose treading on clouds, aggressively closing the distance.

He reached out a large hand, his five fingers closing into a palm strike, carrying the intent of Mountain Splitting, sharp and heavy.

The sword wielder raised his hands to block!

"Bang!"

His hands were instantly shattered, the residual force unabated, and his entire head exploded like a watermelon.

The headless corpse swayed a few times before!

With a plop, it fell to the ground, unmoving!

[Killed one Martial artist of Skin Refining Realm, plundered 8 years of Lifespan.]

Some mountain bandits saw the scene before them and turned pale with fright!

He recognized the identity of the headless corpse!

"It's the Third Stronghold Master!"

"He's... he's dead too?"

"Quick, quickly go find the Great Stronghold Master!"

"Help, demon, you're a demon!"

"Spare us, spare us!"

Seeing Jiang Yi charge at them again!

The remaining seven or eight mountain bandits had long since been scared out of their wits. They screamed and turned to flee!

Jiang Yi showed no mercy!

He wanted to kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill them all, leaving nothing behind!

Kill until the mountain was stained with blood and bones piled up!

Mighty Rock!

Tiger's Roar!

Eagle Claw!

Mountain Splitting!

Jiang Yi wielded the four major martial arts moves with ease!

With every movement, his strength of seven thousand five hundred jin surged, crushing everything.

Jiang Yi struck out with a palm!

Sending the last begging mountain bandit to the west.

At this moment, he stood before a small stone room made entirely of black stone!

Three or four corpses lay beside him!

Before they died, they had been shouting "Stronghold Master, save us" in front of the stone room.

It was very clear!

This was the Great Stronghold Master of Black Wind Stronghold's secluded cultivation place.

According to what the one he crushed earlier said, he seemed to be breaking through the last realm of Body Tempering—

Bone-Tempering Realm!

Moreover, Jiang Yi could sense that there was someone inside the stone room!

Faintly, powerful fluctuations emanated from within!

So, the answer was self-evident, and could be guessed immediately!

Naturally, Jiang Yi wouldn't be foolish enough to wait for the so-called Great Stronghold Master to come out of seclusion!

Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Both fists struck out, Cauldron Origin Mountain Splitting!

"BOOM!!!"

Countless rocks flew, and under the swirling dust, the stone room burst open...

The figure sitting cross-legged inside opened his eyes!

Fierce energy surged!
