Seventy years old is the age to take risks!

A battle in the woods.

But Jiang Yuan, facing an attack from more than ten blood-clad slaves, moved through the crowd as if strolling in a garden, his long sword striking down enemies one after another.

His swordsmanship was exquisite; seemingly casual, yet every move struck a vital point.

"Azure Lotus Sword Technique!"

Faced with an increasing number of blood-clad slaves eyeing him, Jiang Yuan let out a long roar and held back, pouring his boundless true energy into the Evergreen Sword in his hand, which then erupted into an endless storm of sword energy that swept out in all directions!

Clang clang!

In an instant, countless sword energies struck the surrounding blood-clad slaves like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves, eliciting countless screams.

With a single sword strike, he killed more than ten Blood-Clad Slaves of equal cultivation level.

"Senior Jiang is truly amazing!"

Seeing this, Guan Ling was filled with admiration.

She never expected that Jiang Yuan, who had only practiced the Azure Lotus Sword Technique for a month, would be able to achieve such a level of skill!

"The Azure Lotus Sword Technique?"

Seeing this, Zhao You and Zhang Sheng, who were locked in a fierce battle with Xue Tu, were stunned and stopped fighting.

What exactly is the relationship between Jiang Yuan and his sect?

He even knows the Azure Lotus Sword Technique?

"Kill them! Kill these bastards!"

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, a battle cry suddenly came from afar, and another group of people charged over!

The leader was a one-eyed giant riding a tall horse, exuding a menacing aura.

"People from the black market?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

What are these bastards doing here?

The newcomers were not the people they were looking for; they were members of the black market gang from Jiangning City, who had come after hearing the news.

As martial artists, they have always looked down on the black market, a low-class force in the martial arts world, but unfortunately, its power is indeed considerable.

It is unclear whether they are friend or foe.

"Haha, this is lively!"

The one-eyed giant laughed loudly, "Xue Tu, you dare to kill someone from our black market? Let's see where you run to today!"

"Gentlemen, this Xue Tu is our enemy. We beg you all to give our black market some face and hand him over to us to deal with, shall we?"

As he spoke, his gaze suddenly fell on Jiang Yuan, who had just sheathed his sword, and he frowned slightly.

If this old guy hadn't made such a commotion earlier, he wouldn't have planned to show himself so quickly, instead waiting to reap the benefits.

But now I have no choice but to come out.

If it gets too late, there won't even be any soup left!

"black market?"

Xue Tu's face darkened. "Hmph, so what if I killed some scum?"

Previously, in order to cultivate his evil arts, he killed many people in the black market and stole some treasures.

But he didn't think it was a big deal.

They were just a bunch of gangsters, and their reputation wasn't much better than that of their evil cult.

So what if they double-crossed each other?

"Enough with the nonsense, prepare to die!"

With a wave of his hand, the one-eyed giant sent his men into the fray, hacking at anyone they saw!

A three-way brawl broke out immediately, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Jiang Yuan, who was in the arena, also frowned, becoming increasingly puzzled.

black market?

These guys won't do anything without a profit. Could it be that Xue Tu really has some extraordinary treasure?

The melee then lasted for about half an hour.

Although the Blood Robe Cult had a numerical advantage, the forces of the Azure Profound Sect and the Black Market were not weak either, and they almost slaughtered all the Blood Robe Slaves.

"withdraw!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xue Tu had no choice but to order a retreat and hide in the woods to escape.

"Chase!"

Zhao You shouted and took the lead in chasing after them.

The black market operators seemed unwilling to give up and gave chase.

For a moment, only the city lord's retainers, Guan Ling and Zhou Yun remained in the room.

The group hesitated.

They were just doing their job for money, and having barely escaped with their lives after being ambushed, they naturally had no desire to pursue them any further.

Someone approached Guan Ling, cupped their hands, and said, "Miss Guan, don't pursue a cornered enemy. We've all suffered considerable injuries, so it's not advisable to chase them any further today."

"Yes, yes, yes, us too!" Everyone chimed in.

"Hmph, a bunch of cowards who cling to life!"

Zhou Yun snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain. "Junior Sister, I knew all along that these people were unreliable. Let's hurry up and catch up with Senior Brother Zhao."

Guan Ling hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jiang Yuan, "Mr. Jiang, what about you?"

Jiang Yuan stroked his beard and said, "I used the Azure Lotus Sword Technique for the first time just now, and I used too much force. Some of my meridians are in a state of reverse flow. Let's not pursue them."

"When you get old, you have to accept that you're getting old."

Guan Ling nodded. What Jiang Yuan said made sense. So she cupped her hands and said, "Very well, thank you for your help today, sir and all the seniors. I will remember it."

"Hehe, Miss Guan, you're too kind."

Everyone responded with smiles, but they felt a sense of relief.

They really didn't want to take any more risks.

After saying goodbye, Guan Ling and Zhou Yun also chased after the direction in which Xue Tu and the others had disappeared.

"Hey, let's go too."

Seeing the two walk away, the group of retainers sighed and left.

Watching the departing figures of the crowd, a thoughtful look flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes, but his gaze suddenly fell on the temple that no one had paid attention to before.
