Xi Lang Gives Chase!

Dongfang Yueming walked unhurriedly through the wilderness. Although he wasn't using his full strength, his Perfection Gale Movement Technique far surpassed that of ordinary martial artists. As he walked, he frowned to himself: 'What's going on? Xi Lang's men so inefficient? I've deliberately slowed down and waited for so long, and they still haven't caught up?'

Little did he know, Xi Lang was currently leading a large group of his men in a difficult pursuit.

"Hurry up! All of you, hurry up!" Xi Lang roared at the panting crowd behind him as he sped forward.

Many of the weaker subordinates had already been left far behind, and could only watch helplessly as Xi Lang and the others' figures grew further and further away.

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!" Xi Lang cursed inwardly, looking at the stragglers. Then, his gaze fell on the faintly visible figure ahead. 'This kid's speed isn't slow. It seems he might have mastered a movement technique at least at Major Accomplishment advanced level!'

Thinking of this, Xi Lang suddenly stopped and shouted to the few remaining subordinates who could barely keep up, "You lot, don't need to follow! Old Three, Old Five, you two (Bone Tempering Greater Mastery) come with me!"

The remaining men, relieved as if granted a pardon, immediately stopped and gasped for breath. The Old Three and Old Five brothers, who had been called out, were also a little out of breath, but their faces showed excitement. Being able to make contributions with Brother Lang would naturally bring plenty of benefits!

The three accelerated again, like three gusts of wind, and chased after Dongfang Yueming.

After some time, Xi Lang finally spotted Dongfang Yueming's figure in the distance. The other party seemed to have noticed them as well, and his speed slowed down noticeably, and he even staggered a bit, as if he was exhausted.

"Ha! Found you!" Xi Lang's eyes gleamed with ferocity.

The Old Three and Old Five brothers behind him were even more invigorated. Looking at the figure in front of them who was "at his last gasp," their breathing became heavy. They rubbed their fists together, eager to try, wishing they could rush up and capture this kid that Brother Lang had been thinking about for so long, so that they could show off their achievements in front of Brother Lang!

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Dongfang Yueming's lips; he was deliberately feigning weakness to lure the other party closer.

'Has it finally arrived?'

"Brother Lang! Let the two of us go and take him down!" The Old Three licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with greed, and eagerly asked for permission. The Old Five also grinned maliciously, cracking his knuckles as if he could already see the scene of trampling Dongfang Yueming under his feet.

Xi Lang frowned slightly, a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart. Logically speaking, since his opponent possessed considerable agility, capable of shaking off most of his men, his strength shouldn't be so weak. Why was he exhausted so quickly? This was rather suspicious.

However, upon further reflection, he felt relieved. 'Perhaps the kid's movements are fast, but his internal energy or blood circulation is insufficient to sustain it,' he thought to himself. 'Alright, let the Old Three and Old Five test his strength first. These two are genuinely at the Bone Tempering Greater Mastery, their bones as hard as iron. Even if that kid has some hidden tricks, he can't cause any trouble. Judging from his age, that kid has at most just Bone Tempering Initiation; he shouldn't cause any problems.'

Thinking this, Xi Lang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Go! Finish him off quickly, leave him with a breath left, I want to personally deal with him!"

"Understood!" The Old Three and Old Five brothers roared excitedly, like two tigers released from their cages, pouncing on Dongfang Yueming from the left and right!

Dongfang Yueming's eyes flashed with a cold glint as she looked at the two men rushing towards her menacingly. 'Since you're so eager to die, I'll start with you!'

"Boy! Surrender obediently and you'll suffer less!" the Old Three roared with a savage grin, his large, fan-like hand reaching straight for Dongfang Yueming's neck.

Clang!

A clear, resonant clang of a blade echoed across the wilderness!

Instead of retreating, Dongfang Yueming advanced, One Flash of light in his hand, and the ancient-looking, chilling "Light Snow" sword was already unsheathed!

"What a fine knife!" The Old Three and Old Five' eyes lit up at the same time, attracted by the sharp edge and Bufan aura emanating from the Light Snow Saber.

However, what drew them in the next moment was the chill of death!

The Dongfang Yueming has moved!

With Perfection Swift Gale Movement Technique combined with two Perfection sword techniques, his figure flickered like a ghost, his sword flashed, swift as lightning, carrying a fierce momentum that could tear everything apart!

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Two soft sounds rang out almost simultaneously!

The Old Three's arm, which was reaching for Dongfang Yueming, froze in mid-air. His eyes still held shock and disbelief. A thin line of blood appeared on his neck and then suddenly widened!

Before the Old Five could even react, he felt a chill in his chest. Looking down, he saw a deep, bone-revealing knife wound piercing through his chest!

Thump! Thump!

The two bodies fell to the ground almost simultaneously, their blood instantly staining the wild grass beneath their feet.

Everything that happened in the blink of an eye caused Xi Lang's pupils to suddenly contract!

He didn't even see how Dongfang Yueming drew his sword!

Instant kill!

Two genuine, fully-fledged Bone Tempering Greater Mastery Masters were instantly killed in one move?!

A storm raged in Xi Lang's heart, but then, an even stronger greed instantly overwhelmed his shock! His gaze was fixed on the Light Snow Saber in Dongfang Yueming's hand, and his breathing became rapid!

'This... this knife! It's no ordinary weapon! That astonishing sharpness, that power to instantly sever the bones of a Bone Tempering Greater Mastery martial artist... could it be... could it be a legendary B-grade divine weapon?!' (Xi Lang's limited perspective led him to mistake a near-A grade weapon for a B grade weapon.)
