Raise a sword!

"Let...let me go," Jiang Yunluo said weakly, held in Jiang Peng's grasp.

Jiang Peng's sword strike was too fast and too sudden. Jiang Yunluo had never expected that Jiang Peng would have the ability to launch a sneak attack right in front of her.

At this moment, he could feel a surge of heat coursing through his meridians, completely sealing off his cultivation.

Jiang Yunluo dared not attempt to forcefully break through the restriction, because he could sense that if he were to truly activate the heat in his meridians, the consequences would be far beyond what he could bear.

"Let go of my brother!"

Jiang Yunfan, atop Tianhe Peak, let out an angry shout.

Jiang Peng turned her gaze, only to see thousands of silver needles raining down upon her.

"This must be the Jiang family's trump card magic weapon, right? The second-tier 'Hidden Void Needle'. My junior sister was injured by this, but it was just a replica."

Jiang Peng raised an eyebrow and casually released Jiang Yunluo, letting her fall from mid-air.

At this moment, Jiang Yunluo's cultivation was sealed. If he fell from a height of 100 feet and landed hard, even if the Foundation Establishment cultivator had an extremely strong physical body, he would probably still suffer serious injuries and be on the verge of death.

But Jiang Peng didn't care at all. With a wave of his hand, the crimson flames that were spreading around him immediately gathered in front of him, turning into a crimson fire shield wall.

The moment the Hidden Needle made contact with the wall of fire, the needle's power diminished dramatically.

At the same time, Jiang Yunluo, who was in the distance, suddenly widened her eyes and quickly waved her hand to retract the Hidden Void Needle.

"What kind of fire is this? How can it damage my second-tier magic weapon?"

"Guess!" Jiang Peng smiled.

After breaking the Hidden Void Needle, he looked down and saw that Jiang Yunluo was no longer in the forest below.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind.

Jiang Peng subconsciously turned around, only to see a young Foundation Establishment cultivator wielding a magic sword and attacking her.

This young Foundation Establishment cultivator clearly had only recently broken through; his aura appeared weak and unstable, as if his foundation was not yet solid.

However, the opponent's escape technique was quite ingenious.

In terms of speed, it is naturally not as fast as Jiang Peng's Gale Step, but the Gale Step is too noisy. It is only good for frontal sneak attacks. If people know its secrets and are on guard, it is not as powerful as imagined.

However, the young Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him used a very secretive escape technique. Even with Jiang Peng's divine sense, he only noticed the other party when the other party got within three zhang.

Facing the sword blade that was already within reach, Jiang Peng's right hand twitched slightly, but he restrained himself.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Peng raised her left hand and went straight to meet the sword's edge.

This scene was unexpected even by the young Foundation Establishment cultivator who launched the sneak attack.

Seeing this, he became even more determined, and the sword in his hand became even more fierce.

"court death!"

Just as Jiang Peng's palm was about to touch the sword's edge, crimson flames rose up and then dissipated.

In that instant, most of the sword's power was dissipated.

The next moment, Jiang Peng clenched his fist and forcibly grasped the magic sword in his hand with his physical body.

"This...how is this possible?!" The young Foundation Establishment cultivator exclaimed in shock, momentarily stunned.

Jiang Peng felt a slight pain in her palm; it must have been from the sharpness of the magic sword that cut her skin.

But that's where it ends.

"Your escape technique is quite good. I barely noticed you when you got within three zhang of me. It's a pity your swordsmanship is half a step behind, lacking some variation, and your magic sword is only a first-grade top-quality one."

If it were a second-tier magic sword, Jiang Peng would never have been able to catch it with his bare hands.

But if he doesn't reach the second rank, with his copper-skinned, iron-boned body, he naturally has nothing to fear.

Jiang Peng looked at the young Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"I was just saying someone seemed to be spying on us. It must have been you, right? You're the one who rescued Jiang Yunluo, aren't you? What's your name?"

"Jiang Yufei has met Senior Brother Jiang... Senior Brother's skills are admirable, but relying on his skills to act recklessly is despicable."

Jiang Peng was taken aback, then tightened her grip.

Jiang Yufei on the other side still wanted to resist, but soon felt the enormous force coming from the sword.

The hilt of the sword he was holding trembled. After only a few breaths of stalemate, he could no longer hold on and Jiang Peng forcibly took the magic sword from him.

Jiang Yufei's expression changed, and he immediately turned around and tried to escape.

But a loud explosion was already heard in my ears.

He instinctively turned around to be on guard, but Jiang Peng was already right in front of him.

The next moment, his vision was filled by an open hand.

Snapped--

Jiang Peng's seemingly casual slap was actually quite powerful.

Jiang Yufei was sent flying nearly a hundred feet away by the slap, landing heavily in the forest below and kicking up a cloud of dust.

At the same time, three talismans appeared in Jiang Peng's left hand, and under the stimulation of spiritual power, a golden light suddenly emanated from his body.

Ding ding ding—

The sound of metal clashing was incessant.

Jiang Peng turned around and just then saw Jiang Yunfan unleashing the Hidden Void Needle attack.

"Since you dare to fight against overwhelming odds, how can you not guard against a sneak attack from you, fellow Daoist?"

Seeing Jiang Yunfan's unpleasant expression, Jiang Peng smiled gently, but her gaze swept past his shoulder and landed on Tianhe Peak not far away.

Jiang Peng found it somewhat amusing.

The vast majority of these disciples of Tianhe Peak were not from the Jiang family, and they suffered an undeserved calamity.

When their own sect was attacked, they had nowhere to hide after leaving Tianhe Peak and could only be taken in by the surrounding peaks.

They escaped, but not far, and had nowhere to escape to.

However, Jiang Peng originally did not intend to involve these junior cultivators.

After the golden armor talisman dissipated, the spiritual energy around him once again gathered and transformed into spiritual fire.

This time, a deep white flame appeared.

Jiang Yunfan was originally prepared to use his methods again, but the moment the crimson flames turned into white flames, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he no longer dared to stand in front of Jiang Peng, quickly retreating.

Jiang Peng did not stop him from leaving.

Once the white flames are attached to the bone, they are difficult to remove; one has to cut away flesh and remove bones to get rid of them.

This method was against the natural order, and under the watchful eyes of many elders in the sect, Jiang Peng eventually restrained himself somewhat.

After Jiang Yunfan stepped back, Tianhe Peak was now fully visible.

Jiang Peng raised his right hand and grasped it in mid-air. The Xuanyuan Sword then changed to its normal size as he wished, and the hilt was held perfectly in his hand.

The next moment, his aura suddenly became fierce.

The moment this soaring sword intent appeared, Jiang Yunfan, who was not far away, was greatly alarmed.

"You...you're actually a sword cultivator?!"

Having reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, after sensing the sword intent, he had no more thoughts of resistance and only wanted to escape.

Without a second thought, he turned and left, but as soon as he used his movement technique, he felt himself locked onto by that extremely powerful sword intent.

Jiang Yunfan froze on the spot, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"No...don't kill me! Real person, save me! Real person, save me!"

He screamed in terror.

Jiang Peng just scoffed.

"You are not worthy to receive this sword."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Peng swung his sword down.

But the sword's edge was pointed at... Tianhe Peak, not far away!
