in the dark.

A fierce wind howled, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

A huge crack appeared in the ground, stretching for hundreds of feet from east to west, running through the entire camp.

Everything along the way, whether grass, trees, tents, fences, rocks, or martial artists, was instantly reduced to dust.

There wasn't even a crumb left.

In the center of the crane-shaped yellow cloud, Zhang Mubai gritted his teeth, his body trembling as if electrocuted, his eyes filled with fear.

Demon!
They had been patrolling the surrounding area for the past few days but had never found any trace of the demon.

How could a demon suddenly appear?

He was filled with doubts, but he couldn't care less about that now.

The Yellow Crane Guardian Pendant was a treasure bestowed upon him by his master before he descended the mountain this time. It could withstand three attacks from demons and Qi cultivators.

But right now, this demonic bird only needed one strike to shatter most of the protective amulet.

One more blow and it will probably shatter completely.

As for Nalan Rou...

It had long since shattered into a cloud of blood mist, floating just three feet away.

As for the others, they had long since become one with the rubble and mud scattered on the ground.

With a single blow, the entire camp was wiped out; not a single survivor remained.

This is a monster!

A demon comparable to a Qi cultivator!

The lives of martial artists are no longer on the same level.

Powerful to the point of being terrifying!
True martial arts masters have no chance of survival against demons.

"But I don't want to die! I'm still young, I want to become the Five Crane Sect Master, I..."

Zhang Mubai was extremely anxious. His inner energy surged, and his body immediately began to exhibit many crane-like characteristics.

He clutched the jade pendant, forced himself to stand up, and was about to flee elsewhere.

A sharp whistle suddenly rang out above his head.

He instinctively looked up, and his eyes reflected a monstrous bird—

It was divine and strange, with red eyes, white feathers, and blue light emanating from its mouth.

"No-!"

His eyes widened in horror, and he let out a wail, with only the mournful howl of the wind in his ears.

In an instant, a blue light, like a knife, cleaved through the void and struck the crane-shaped yellow cloud.

In less than a breath, Huang Xia shattered and dimmed with a "poof".

Zhang Mubai's body stiffened, and with a "bang," he and the surrounding mud, rocks, grass, and trees all exploded into powder.

Blood red.

A moment later, the wind stopped and the dust settled, leaving the field in a mess, devoid of flies and insects, and devoid of any living creature.

"call!"

Liu Sheng reverted to his original form, but stumbled upon landing and nearly fell.

The physical exertion was enormous; I was drenched in sweat, which soaked through my clothes.

It felt like being squeezed dry by a hundred Du Bingyans working together, leaving not a single drop.

"As expected, demons are not so easy to transform into. The difference in their life levels is huge. I almost fell from the sky."

He stood with his hands on his hips, panting heavily. He had been transforming for less than fifteen minutes before he was already struggling to keep going.

So, I am now...

A Qi Refiner in a Quarter of an Hour?
His lips twitched, and just as he was about to examine it closely, he heard the sound of wind breaking in his ears.

somebody is coming!

He paused, transformed into a black-scaled snake, and vanished into the forest in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud eagle swooped down, leaving a white shadow.

Du Bingyan!
"what happened?"

She was completely stunned when she saw the camp reduced to ruins.

The stench of blood in the air, in particular, gave her a sense of foreboding.

Have they all died again?
She rushed in, and looking at the ravine that ran across the entire camp, her heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

Demon!

A strong demonic aura!
The camp had been attacked by demons.

So, it seems there are no survivors left in the camp...

"Commander Du?" Just then, a male voice came from behind her, tinged with doubt.

Du Bingyan suddenly turned around and saw a person standing a dozen steps away, looking at her with surprise and uncertainty.

Liu Sheng?

She blinked, recognized Liu Sheng, and in a flash appeared beside him:
"you are still alive?"

"what?"

A look of confusion crossed Liu Sheng's face. He glanced at her, then at the ruins before him, and decided to strike first, muttering:
"What...what's going on?"

Du Bingyan's eyes twitched, her breath hitched, and she was completely stumped.

This is clearly the question I should be asking!

She took a deep breath before speaking:
"You do not know?"

Seeing the hesitation on Liu Sheng's face, as if he wanted to say something but stopped, she pressed him for more information.

After acting for a while, Liu Sheng delivered his prepared speech.

Since there were no survivors at the scene, they could say whatever they wanted.

No one will refute this.

"You mean, Zhang Mubai was jealous and, while I was away, falsely accused you of colluding with Wu Song and joining forces with others to take you down?"

Du Bingyan frowned, thought about it, and realized that it did fit Zhang Mubai's personality—petty and easily jealous, which was why she looked down on him.

However, Zhang Mubai is at the True Form Realm, and even she would need over a hundred moves to determine the victor.

In particular, he practices the "Azure Crane Sword Manual," which greatly enhances his speed and agility, making him most adept at rapid attacks and pursuits.

How could a musculoskeletal martial artist escape from him, six internal organ martial artists, and dozens of other musculoskeletal martial artists?

"I can jump high and run fast."

Liu Sheng revealed a simple smile, then lightly jumped, leaping several meters high and gliding backwards for over a hundred steps.

It would poke or kick among the branches and leaves, like a hawk darting through the forest, taking more than a dozen breaths before landing on the ground.

"Zhang Mubai can only dream of such talent..."

Du Bingyan suddenly realized, nodded, and didn't ask any further questions.

She had been carefully examining the area and had not found any fluctuations in qi, blood, or strength; it was entirely due to her talent.

This talent is enviable.

But that's about it.

"At least not all of them died..."

Du Bingyan chuckled self-deprecatingly; once again, the entire team had been nearly wiped out.

The last time we encountered a peach tree spirit, there was only one survivor, it seems...

Liu Sheng?!
He and I are actually quite a good match.

I'm a jinx, but he's got a tough life!
She paused for a moment, then shook her head, her eyes regaining their clarity and her gaze becoming firm.

"Roar--"

Just then, a deafening tiger roar came from afar.

The sound was like thunder, shocking for miles around; its malevolent aura soared to the sky, and the mountains beneath their feet trembled violently.

In an instant, it felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe.

"Master!"

Liu Sheng's breath hitched, his heart skipped a beat, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

He recognized the roar; it was his master, Wu Song!
He had made a similar roar when he killed General Yan, Captain Huang, and others in the village with a single blow.

That direction, due east, belongs to the Zhen position and is where the Injury Gate is located!
The entrance to the wounded gate is riddled with traps and poisoned arrows, making it extremely dangerous.

Could it be that Master...

The next moment, a loud elephant's roar soared into the sky, directly confronting the previous tiger's roar.

A beam of light rose from the ground, its color a deep blue, illuminating the nearby mountains and forests.

Immediately afterwards, several beams of light shot into the sky, red, gold, black, and yellow, their energy intertwined, facing each other from afar.

"Good, the villain has fallen into the trap, the great formation is about to begin!"

Du Bingyan was overjoyed. She quickly arrived at the "Gate of Life," took out a token, pressed her hands against the array flag, and chanted incantations.

As the ground trembled, the banners lit up with a yellowish-brown glow, eventually standing upright like pillars in the sky.

In an instant, eight pillars of light shone brightly, their five colors swirling and hanging down like jewels, forming a barrier that separated the eight directions.

Eventually, a massive magic array was formed, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, activated!
