The middle-aged man said this and took the lead in launching the attack.

A black sword appeared in his hand, with a faint light flashing on the sword body. He suddenly stabbed Jiang Qiong with the sword at an extremely fast speed. The sword blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

Jiang Qiong quickly dodged to the side and swung his magic sword to block the middle-aged man's attack.

At this moment, another two young men also attacked from both sides. Their swordsmanship was sharp and their cooperation was tacit. For a moment, Jiang Qiong was surrounded.

Seeing this, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue immediately came to help. Lang Nana cast an ice spell, shooting ice arrows at the two young men.

Nan Fengxue brandished a long sword and fought with the woman in the pink dress. The two sides fought back and forth, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Relying on his agile skills and powerful spiritual power, Jiang Qiong managed to hold on despite the siege of the middle-aged man and two young men.

Lang Nana's ice magic caused some obstacles to the opponent, and the battle between Nan Fengxue and the woman was also inextricable. In a blink of an eye, five moves had passed.

The middle-aged man and others couldn't help but feel a little surprised. They didn't expect Jiang Qiong and others to be so tenacious.

“Hmph, you have some skills. However, you can only hold out so far.” The middle-aged man said, increasing the intensity of his attack.

The long sword in his hand shone brightly, and rays of sword energy shot out from the sword, sweeping towards Jiang Qiong.

Jiang Qiong quickly gathered his spiritual power and formed a spiritual shield in front of him to block the sword attack.

However, at this moment, the other two young men took the opportunity to attack, one from behind and the other from the front. Jiang Qiong was unable to dodge and was cut on the arm by the sword of the man in front.

Blood flowed down his arm, but Jiang Qiong did not retreat. Instead, he stimulated the potential in his body, and his spiritual power became more turbulent. "The seventh move." Jiang Qiong said through gritted teeth.

He swung his spirit sword and unleashed a powerful move, forcing the two young men back.

At this time, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue were also in a tough fight. The woman in the pink dress was very powerful, and Nan Fengxue gradually became exhausted.

The two young men that Lang Nana faced, after dodging her ice arrows, also began to attack her fiercely. "No, we can't lose."

Lang Nana thought to herself as she mobilized all the spiritual power in her body and cast her strongest ice spell.

A huge ice cone took shape in her hand, and she threw it towards the two young men.

The ice cones hit the two young men with great force in an instant, knocking them away.

However, due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy, Lang Nana's face turned pale and her body shook.

"Nana!" Nan Fengxue's heart tightened when she saw this. She was distracted and the woman in the pink dress took the opportunity to stab her in the shoulder.

"Little Snow!"

Jiang Qiong's eyes instantly turned red when he saw this scene. He rushed towards the middle-aged man regardless of everything, and the spiritual knife in his hand burst out with unprecedented light.

"The ninth move!" Jiang Qiong roared and slashed at the middle-aged man with a knife.

The middle-aged man quickly raised his sword to block, but the huge force made him take a few steps back.

At this moment, the two old men finally made their move. The crutches in their hands instantly grew longer and swept towards Jiang Qiong.

Jiang Qiong dodged quickly, but the crutch still hit the corner of her clothes, leaving a cut.

"The tenth move!" Jiang Qiong shouted, his spiritual power reached its limit at this moment.

He gathered all his spiritual power into the spiritual sword and swung the last sword at the two old men. A dazzling light flashed, and the two old men quickly stepped back with surprised looks on their faces.

They didn't expect that Jiang Qiong could deliver such a powerful attack even though he was so tired.

"Okay, you've passed." said the old man, with a look of appreciation on his face.

When Jiang Qiong and the others heard the old man announce that they had passed, they thought that the battle was finally over, and their tense nerves began to relax a little.

However, the middle-aged man suddenly snorted coldly, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Humph, just let them go like this? No one will leave alive today!"

After saying that, he disregarded the agreement and raised the black sword in his hand again. The sword glowed even brighter and he slashed towards Jiang Qiong fiercely.

The other two young men also had ferocious looks on their faces. They quickly formed a triangle with the middle-aged man, surrounding Jiang Qiong in the middle again.

The woman in the pink dress took advantage of Nan Fengxue's injury and approached him. The sword in her hand flashed with a cold light and went straight for Nan Fengxue's vital points.

Lang Nana had just run out of spiritual power after casting the most powerful ice spell. Faced with this sudden change, endless anger surged in her heart.

She held on to her body, quickly forming seals with her hands, trying to gather her spiritual power again to cast a spell.

Nan Fengxue gritted his teeth, endured the pain and swung his sword to block the attack of the woman in the pink dress, his eyes full of unwillingness and determination.

Jiang Qiong looked at the people who were attacking again, and the anger in his heart was completely ignited.

He roared towards the sky, the spiritual power in his body surged wildly, and the air around him seemed to be ignited by his anger.

"Since you don't abide by the agreement, don't blame us for being rude!"

Jiang Qiong roared. He knew very well that in their current state, they would not be able to defeat this group of people in a head-on fight, so they had to find another way.

Various countermeasures flashed through his mind quickly, and suddenly, he thought of a powerful formation that he had seen in an ancient book - the "Seven Star Soul-Locking Formation".

This formation requires seven gems containing powerful spiritual power as the core of the formation. With the help of the power of heaven and earth, the enemies can be trapped in the formation and then strangled one by one.

Jiang Qiong took a deep breath and shouted to Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue, "Nana, Xiaoxue, listen to my command! We will set up the 'Seven Star Soul Locking Formation' and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Although Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue were not familiar with this formation, they had complete faith in Jiang Qiong and nodded.

Jiang Qiong took out seven faintly glowing gems from his arms. These were something he had accidentally obtained during an adventure and had been carrying them with him all along.

He handed the gems to Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue and said, "Nana, you are responsible for placing the three gems in the southeast, south, and southwest directions respectively. Xiaoxue, you are responsible for placing the three gems in the northeast, north, and northwest directions. Move quickly!

I will set up the core of the formation here." Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue took the gems, endured the discomfort in their bodies, and quickly ran in the designated direction.

They dodged the enemy's attacks while looking for a suitable location to place the gems.

Jiang Qiong stood there, quickly forming seals with his hands and muttering something. As he moved, the spiritual energy around him began to gather crazily, forming spiritual energy threads visible to the naked eye, gathering towards his hands.

He raised the remaining gem in his hand high up, and the spiritual power thread continued to wrap around the gem, and the gem's light became brighter and brighter.

The middle-aged man and others felt uneasy when they saw that Jiang Qiong and others seemed to be preparing something.

The middle-aged man shouted, "Oh no! They are setting up a formation. Stop them!"

As he spoke, he rushed towards Jiang Qiong and others with two young men and the woman in the pink dress.

Just as they were about to approach Jiang Qiong and others, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue finally placed the gem in place.

Jiang Qiong shouted, "Start the formation!" The light of the gem in his hand suddenly increased, like a small sun, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire battlefield.

At the same time, the gems placed in various directions also lit up one after another, echoing the gems in Jiang Qiong's hands. The seven rays of light connected together to form a huge circular light shield, covering the middle-aged man and others.

"What kind of formation is this?" the middle-aged man shouted in horror. He swung his sword and chopped at the light shield, but the sword only made a dull sound when it hit the light shield, and the light shield did not move at all.

Jiang Qiong stood at the core of the formation, his face pale but his eyes full of determination.

He formed seals with his hands again, and the light in the formation began to flow, forming runes. The runes flashed with mysterious light and kept flying towards the middle-aged man and others.

"Seven-star Soul Locking Formation, activate!" Jiang Qiong roared. The runes in the formation seemed to have life, spinning rapidly around the middle-aged man and others. Wherever they went, the air was torn apart, making a "sizzling" sound.

The middle-aged man and others began to resist frantically. They waved their weapons and tried to smash the runes.

However, the power of the rune was too strong, and their attacks were unable to stop the rune's advance.

A young man was unable to dodge and was hit by a rune. His body was instantly torn apart and turned into a ball of blood mist.

"Ah!" The other two shouted in horror, their faces full of fear.

The middle-aged man was filled with regret. He had not expected that Jiang Qiong and the others were so powerful and could set up such a powerful formation. But at this moment, he had no way out and could only fight with all his strength.

He gathered all the spiritual power in his body into the sword, and the sword shone brightly. He swung the sword fiercely in the direction where Jiang Qiong was.

A powerful sword energy shot towards Jiang Qiong. Wherever the sword energy passed, the runes in the formation were shattered.

Jiang Qiong's face changed when he saw this. He knew the power of the middle-aged man's attack, and if he was hit, he would be seriously injured.

He quickly mobilized the spiritual power in the formation to form a spiritual power barrier in front of him.

The sword energy hit the spiritual barrier with a loud bang, and the powerful impact force caused Jiang Qiong to take a few steps back.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Jiang Qiong's mouth, but he did not retreat at all. "Humph, you want to break the formation with just this little ability?"

Jiang Qiong snorted coldly. He quickly formed seals with both hands, and the light in the formation surged again. Countless runes poured down towards the middle-aged man and others like a rainstorm.

The middle-aged man, the woman in the pink dress, and another young man tried to resist, but the number of runes was too great and they could not resist them all.

Soon, they were hit by runes, wounds appeared, and blood stained their clothes red.

"No, impossible!" the middle-aged man shouted in despair. He watched his companions fall one by one, his heart filled with fear. Jiang Qiong looked at the enemies in the formation without any mercy in his eyes.

He increased the power of the formation again, and the light in the formation began to flash with black light, which was the breath of death. "Die!" Jiang Qiong roared.

The black light in the formation instantly enveloped the middle-aged man and others, and their screams echoed in the formation.

After a moment, the light gradually dissipated, and the middle-aged man and others disappeared, leaving only a devastated battlefield.

Jiang Qiong and the others collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. This battle consumed too much of their physical and spiritual strength, but they finally succeeded in killing the enemy.

"We... won..." Lang Nana said weakly, with a relieved smile on her face.

Nan Fengxue nodded, looked at Jiang Qiong and said, "Thanks to your formation, otherwise we would be in real danger this time."

Jiang Qiong wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and forced a smile: "I'm glad everyone is okay. This incident is a reminder for us. We must not take it lightly when we encounter such a situation in the future."

After resting for a while, Jiang Qiong and others slowly stood up.

Jiang Qiong and the others took a short rest, and after their physical and spiritual strength gradually recovered a little, they began to clean up the messy battlefield and search for the spoils left by the enemy.

After a life-and-death battle, these spoils may help them in their future journey.

Jiang Qiong first walked towards the place where the middle-aged man fell. There, a black sword was lying quietly on the ground. It was the weapon that the middle-aged man had used before.

Jiang Qiong bent over to pick it up and felt it was heavy. The sword was still glowing with a faint light, exuding a mysterious aura.

Upon closer inspection, the sword is engraved with complex runes, which seem to hide some powerful power.

Jiang Qiong used his spiritual power to test it. The sword trembled slightly and made a low humming sound, as if responding to his call.

Jiang Qiong was delighted, he knew that this sword was no ordinary thing, maybe it was an extremely powerful magic weapon.

After putting the sword into the storage bag, Jiang Qiong searched the middle-aged man's body again, and soon he found an exquisite storage ring.

After Jiang Qiong dripped blood to recognize his master, he probed into it with his spiritual sense and found that it was filled with various precious cultivation resources, including spirit crystals emitting rich spiritual energy, some rare herbs, and even several secret books that recorded advanced skills.

Jiang Qiong sighed inwardly, this middle-aged man really had some family background. At the same time, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue were also searching around the bodies of the other two young men.

Lang Nana found a small brocade bag on the waist of one of them. When she opened it, she found several pills emitting strange light inside.

With her knowledge of elixirs, she recognized at a glance that these were top-grade elixirs for healing injuries and increasing spiritual power, and were extremely rare in the market outside.

Nan Fengxue found a sharp dagger on another young man. The edge of the dagger flashed with cold light. With a slight wave of the dagger, the air seemed to be cut by the sharp blade.

The hilt of the dagger is inlaid with a blue gem that emits a soft glow. It is not only beautiful but also seems to contain some special power.

Afterwards, the three of them came to the place where the woman in the pink dress fell.

Here, a long pink skirt flutters in the wind, with delicate patterns embroidered on the hem, and it is obvious that it is worth a lot of money. (End of this chapter)
