The Attack

"Geng Metal Sword Qi!"

A white sword light, carrying an incomparably sharp aura, ripped through the sky, splitting a white cloud in two.

Zi Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she raised her hands, causing the blood dragon to turn around and protect her. However, the Sword Qi continued to cleave the blood dragon in two, as easily as cutting tofu.

"Bang!"

A small hill was cleaved in two. Amidst the dust and smoke, blood stained Zi Qi's lips. Her armor was torn, and a long, deep bloodstain stretched from her left shoulder to her waist, nearly cleaving her in two.

"As expected of the strongest Divine Ability of your Divine Sword Peak, it is indeed very powerful."

Zi Qi spat out a mouthful of blood, stood up, and coldly stared at Su Liuyue in the air. "However, you are still far inferior to your master."

"It's a little short," Su Liuyue nodded. "Then let's try another strike."

After knocking Zi Qi's Dripping Blood Sword away, the Star Sword returned to Su Liuyue's hand. She raised the sword and flicked it, sending an even stronger and sharper sword light straight towards Zi Qi.

Zi Qi's face changed, turning pale. She knew without a doubt that she couldn't withstand this sword strike, so she gritted her teeth, spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, and her body immediately disappeared.

"Hmph, do you think you can get away?"

Su Liuyue unleashed several more sword strikes, sending multiple beams of light flying toward the directions she had predicted.

At the farthest point, Zi Qi had just revealed herself when a sword light reached her, and she hurriedly tried to defend herself.

Fortunately, this sword strike was not as strong as the previous one. Although it left a bloody mark on her body, it wouldn't kill her.

"Su Liuyue, I'm not in my best condition this time. You wait, I'll come back for you when I reach the Late Golden Core Stage!" After uttering these harsh words, Zi Qi ran away without looking back, directly burning her Essence Blood to use Blood Escape to escape.

Su Liuyue did not give chase. Although she could catch up and kill them, she did not want to waste time, since she had more than just this route to block.

Outside Phoenix City, five figures dressed in black robes and wearing hoods stood still.

These are people from White Bone Mountain. None of them are at the Golden Core Stage, but they are all at the Foundation Establishment Peak. They belong to the second team of the covert operation.

"This city looks quite prosperous, what a pity."

Five figures mingled with the crowd and entered the city. In a particularly bustling area, a man raised the corners of his mouth in a wicked smile, "The taste of blood is truly delicious."

The next moment, countless streams of black mist spread out, and the faces of people on the street who came into contact with this black mist were melted into bones before they could even scream.

"Ah, monster! Run!"

In an instant, the crowd scattered in panic, but the black mist dispersed too quickly. In no time, everyone on the street was turned into blood and turned into a dead zone.

"Who dares to act recklessly in the imperial city!"

A furious shout rang out from afar, and soon five figures riding flying swords arrived on the street.

These are all Rogue Cultivator subdued by Shen Ge; they are now responsible for guarding the imperial city.

Five little bugs have arrived.

"Arrogant!"

The leading man was the strongest, possessing the strength of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. He raised his hand and unleashed a fire dragon, the scorching flames incinerating all the black energy in its path.

"An insect is an insect." The man in black robes sneered, and the next moment he took a few steps forward, his withered arm sweeping away the fire dragon.

"Damn it, this guy is very strong, attack together!"

In an instant, several minor Law Technique were launched at the man in black robes.

A shield Law Artifact suddenly appeared, blocking all the Law Technique attacks. At the same time, a black chain shot out, so fast that it pierced through the head of one of the attackers.

"Insects should act like insects, don't try to look up at the sky." The man in black robes grinned maliciously, several chains behind him writhing like snakes.

"Is that so!" a voice rang out, but no one was seen. Instead, a streak of light flashed by, and all the menacing chains were stopped.

"You dare to be so arrogant? I thought you were very strong."

On the rooftop, a man in a white robe stood proudly, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Oh, a little devil has come this time, this is going to be fun."

Meanwhile, outside the palace, Shen Ge stood proudly, and not far in front of him stood three emaciated, monstrous figures side by side.

Not far away, there were some scattered skeletons.

"The people of White Bone Mountain are nothing special."

At the palace gate, two pairs of beautiful eyes were fixed on Shen Ge, their eyes gleaming.

"Pretty arrogant, do you think you're Meng Yan!" The middle skeleton said in a hoarse voice. The next moment, he flew out, and two dark giant claws appeared beside him.

As soon as he moved, the other two followed suit, launching chains and flying swords in unison, along with several Law Technique.

"Brother Shen, be careful!" Su Du called out with some concern.

Despite his disdain for the attacks, Shen Ge remained vigilant. He dodged two giant claws by bending to the side and simultaneously leaped away from the chain with his left foot.

In mid-air, Shen Ge swung his sword backhand, and the golden Sword Qi directly intercepted the flying sword.

The next moment, before they could turn around, Shen Ge turned around and pointed, sending a flying sword straight towards the black-robed man using chains.

But a giant black claw grabbed the flying sword directly, and with a clasp of its hands, the flying sword turned into specks of golden light and dissipated.

Shen Ge didn't care much about missing his first attack. If it were that easy to kill someone, then the people of Baigua Mountain wouldn't be qualified to come out and about.

The chained man didn't stop; instead, he charged towards the two women at the palace gate. He hadn't forgotten his mission: to kill the emperor was his top priority.

Shen Ge noticed, but he didn't stop them, because Su Du and Han Yu hadn't left the palace, and with the protection of the nation's fortune, that person couldn't harm them at all.

It's just that Shen Ge wanted to make some moves; otherwise, he could have simply let these people into the palace and let the phoenix, which was formed from the nation's fortune, burn them to ashes. Don't forget that the phoenix had the strength of the Early Golden Core Stage, and killing these small fry would have been a piece of cake for it.

Taking advantage of the enemy's weakened state, Shen Ge formed hand Hand Seals: "Sword Qi Long River, go!"

In an instant, countless flying swords appeared, splitting into two waves that flew towards the two of them simultaneously.

The man with the black claws clasped his hands together, his two claws closing to tightly protect him. The other method was simpler and more effective; he simply took out a defensive Law Artifact and held it in front of him to block the Sword Qi.

Shen Ge's figure flickered, and in the next moment he had disappeared. Behind the black claw, a figure flashing with golden light stabbed out a sword with lightning speed, followed by more than ten sword shadows.

"Hmph~"

A muffled groan came from within the black energy claw, and the next moment several sharp spikes suddenly emerged, moving so fast that no one had time to react.
