"Clang!..."
The thought had barely formed in Xu Taiping's mind when a Sword Cry suddenly rang out with explosive force.
Immediately afterward, fierce streams of sword gang burst through the air from Fengze Pavilion like sharp blades.
"Boom!"
Almost the instant the sword gang flew out, scarlet blood suddenly sprayed from the vast Fengze Pavilion out of nowhere.
"Croak!..."
At the same time, a scream that sounded somewhat like a frog's croak rang out.
As that scream sounded, Xu Taiping discovered, somewhat astonished, that Fengze Pavilion before him had suddenly turned into an enormous toad's head.

"Whoosh!"
Just then, the young Sword Cultivator flickered and walked straight out of the toad's mouth.
The others
