Unstoppable Momentum, Crushing Everything

In less than an hour, the three of them arrived at the foot of a mountain.

According to the three villains they had captured, the Flood Dragon Gang's stronghold was located here.

Looking up at the mountain, they indeed saw a cluster of buildings built against the mountainside, with guards outside.

The location chosen for these buildings was also very strategic: a sheer cliff face rose dozens of feet behind them, and large forces were stationed on both sides.

This meant that the only way up the mountain was the path before them, a terrain that was easily defended and difficult to attack.

"This place is quite something. What do you say, should we go straight in?"

Zhou Yue glanced at Hong Ye and Lin Changkong and asked.

Hong Ye said, "There's only one path, no other choice. Let's just charge in. What do you think, Junior Brother Lin?"

She wanted to ask for Lin Changkong's opinion, but before she could finish speaking, she saw Lin Changkong leap off his horse, saber in hand, and head up the mountain.

Hong Ye was stunned, suddenly feeling that her previous words had been completely unnecessary.

Given Lin Changkong's personality, he wouldn't waste time with so much talk. If there was only one path, they should just charge up it.

Anything else was pointless.

So, Hong Ye and Zhou Yue dismounted and followed him up.

They hadn't gone far before they encountered an extremely brutal scene.

On a small hill ahead, a pile of corpses lay scattered. Some were already rotting, while others had bloodstains that hadn't dried, clearly killed not long ago.

These people were dressed ordinarily, clearly common folk from Black Water Town.

Among them were several children, all of whom had been killed.

A woman, holding an infant that looked only a few months old, had been killed from behind with a single saber strike, taking the child with her.

Pitiably, the woman still held her child tightly in death, never letting go!

"Beasts!"

Seeing this, Hong Ye and Zhou Yue trembled with rage, their eyes turning red.

Lin Changkong remained silent, his footsteps quickening.

After a few steps, he was almost running.

"Stop! Who goes there?"

As they neared the mountain settlement, a shout suddenly rang out. A villain, saber in hand, stepped forward, intending to block them.

"Pfft—"

Before he could utter a second word, a crimson saber light flashed horizontally, cutting him and his saber in half.

The next second, Lin Changkong, wielding the Crimson Flame Saber, charged into the crowd like a god of slaughter.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft—"

Saber light flashed, and blood sprayed.

By the time Zhou Yue and Hong Ye caught up, Lin Changkong had already cut down over a dozen people. Nearly all of them were cut in half at the waist, certainly beyond saving, but not dead yet, only enduring immense pain.

Lin Changkong's actions were undoubtedly deliberate.

However, Hong Ye and Zhou Yue didn't find his methods wrong. After witnessing the Flood Dragon Gang's actions, they had only one thought in their minds: kill these bastards!

And Junior Brother Lin's method of killing was undoubtedly the most satisfying.

They would have to learn a lot from their junior brother in this regard.

The three of them charged forward, cutting through the outer guards like slicing vegetables, quickly dispatching most of them.

"Enemy attack!" the shouts immediately spread throughout the mountain stronghold, and a large number of people swarmed towards them.

"How dare you trespass on our Flood Dragon Stronghold, you're asking for death!"

A voice boomed, and several powerful auras appeared in the crowd. These were the Flood Dragon Gang's experts, five in total, all at the Qi Gathering Realm, but none exceeding the Qi Gathering Fifth Level.

The five didn't know the depth of Lin Changkong and the other two's abilities. After all, the ones they had already killed were mere dregs, at most at the Body Refining Realm.

In their eyes, they were all trash.

Killing some trash was naturally not a display of skill.

The five immediately charged down, intending to kill the three, their sabers, spears, and clubs pressing down.

Hong Ye and Zhou Yue let out sharp cries as they met the attack with their swords.

Lin Changkong remained silent, his heavy Crimson Flame Saber creating slashes of light, each strike powerful and unstoppable.

With one sweeping blow, he cut a Qi Gathering Third Level cultivator in half at the waist, then brought his saber down again, crushing him into a pulp.

With a backhand slash, he killed another, then charged into the crowd behind them, crashing through left and right, utterly unstoppable!

Where the saber light passed, heads flew.

It was a destructive and valiant charge!

In just a few breaths, more than half of the charging attackers had been cut down by him. His brutal and valiant display left Zhou Yue and Hong Ye, who had just killed the other three Qi Gathering Realm cultivators, trembling with shock.

"Junior Brother Lin's saber techniques are so exquisite!"

Zhou Yue exclaimed, her gaze filled with admiration as she looked at Lin Changkong.

She noticed that Lin Changkong's movements were broad and powerful. They seemed crude at first glance, but upon closer inspection, she realized that the force and direction of every saber strike were controlled with unparalleled precision.

Each saber cut down a fierce bandit, with absolutely no wasted effort.

Furthermore, wielding the massive Crimson Flame Saber, he possessed the presence of an army slayer.

His tall, upright figure exuded a masculine aura she had never witnessed before.

Hong Ye's heart pounded as she watched Lin Changkong. In him, she clearly saw what it meant to be a ruthless person of few words!

Even though both she and Zhou Yue were at higher cultivation levels than Lin Changkong, their movements were slower now. They couldn't fight as fluidly and effortlessly as Lin Changkong.

"Kill!"

Then, Hong Ye let out a delicate cry, and she and Zhou Yue moved to pursue from the left and right. Cold light flashed as they reaped the lives of the bandits.

These Flood Dragon Gang members were usually arrogant and tyrannical, acting as henchmen for evil. But before these true masters, they were utterly insignificant. Soon, they were routed, abandoning their armor and fleeing in disarray.

However, the three of them showed no mercy, slaughtering them all without leaving a single one alive!

"You scoundrels! How dare you kill my men, Zhao Heilong! You're seeking death!"

As the three were in the heat of battle, a furious roar suddenly erupted. A powerful and immense aura pressed down from above.

The trio looked up and saw a colossal, burly man leap down from the fort above. He held a Mountain Splitting Axe, which he swung down from the air, emitting a terrifying aura amplified by spiritual energy.

"Qi Gathering Eighth Level, Zhao Heilong, retreat!"

Hong Ye cried out urgently, but she didn't retreat herself. Instead, she met the attack with her sword, unleashing a slash that clashed with the Mountain Splitting Axe.

She knew she was the strongest among the three, and thus bore the greatest responsibility. The one attacking was the Flood Dragon Gang's strongest member, their leader, Zhao Heilong.

Lin Changkong and Zhou Yue were definitely no match for him, so she had to step forward.

With a "ding," Hong Ye felt a tremendous force surge through her sword, pushing her back a few steps.

Zhao Heilong staggered back as well. After their initial clash, he sensed Hong Ye's extraordinary strength and asked with wide eyes, "Who are you?"

Hong Ye retorted, "Hong Ye of the Heavenly Fire Sect, here to take your dog life! Junior Brother Lin, Zhou Yue, don't delay, finish this quickly. I'll hold him off while you deal with the others."

"Damn it, so it's people from the Heavenly Fire Sect! You want to kill me? I'll send you all to hell today! Second Brother, Third Brother, kill them!"

Zhao Heilong roared again. Two more powerful auras descended, belonging to the Flood Dragon Gang's second and third-in-command, Shi Heihu and Zhang Heibao.

Spiritual energy surged, and killing intent filled the air.
