Swordholder

The man in the middle frowned and said unhappily, "What do you mean by 'ducks'? What do you mean by 'chickens'? We are Killer Crows!"

Seeing Li Wei's blank expression, he suddenly became furious, "You son of a bitch, you're like a frog in a well, you don't even know what a raven is?"

The short-haired woman on the left said proudly, "We are the number one assassin organization in the territory of the Great Xiang Empire."

Li Wei suddenly realized and laughed, "So it's an assassin organization. I thought they were male prostitutes."

At this point, he licked his lips, looked at Chen Yuan, and said, "Brother, damn it, I want to eat roast duck and roast chicken."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "No problem, we'll make arrangements when we get there, so that Nuomi can have a taste too."

The glutinous rice in the shadows swallowed hard, unable to resist any longer.

Chen Yuan and the other two were still talking about food?

This scene instantly enraged the three people in front of them.

Before the man in the middle could say anything, Chen Yuan suddenly took a step forward, and then his figure disappeared in an instant, as fast as lightning!

Clang!

A white sword aura suddenly appeared in front of the middle-aged man, slashing horizontally towards him!

It is the Chen family's sword technique, the first move of the Heavenly Righteousness Slaying Evil Sword - Righteousness Rising!

The man in the middle narrowed his eyes, and before he could make a move, the short-haired woman on the left instantly conjured a shield.

With a loud bang, Chen Yuan's sword energy struck the shield, producing a deafening roar. The violent sword energy pulverized the surrounding towering trees.

Clang!

The Heavenly Righteous Sword in Chen Yuan's hand rang out once more, and the second move of the Heavenly Righteous Evil-Slaying Sword—Slaying Demons Across the River—was unleashed in an instant!

The sweeping sword strike spread out like a long river, illuminating the dim forest!

The three people in front of them were swept away in an instant, but they missed their target. They turned into a sky full of crows, and their piercing cries echoed through the forest, causing Chen Yuan and Li Wei to freeze in shock.

Immediately following, countless black wind blades shot towards the two of them.

Roar!

Li Wei roared, his whole body radiating golden light, and a golden giant sword appeared in his hand. He spun it around like a windmill, making a series of banging sounds as he shattered the incoming wind blades one by one!

On the other side, Chen Yuan unleashed the third move of his Heavenly Righteous Sword – Burning Evil and Pointing Stars!

In an instant, the brilliant sword energy suddenly burst into flames, sweeping across all directions. Wherever it passed, the dense flock of crows were ignited with a crackling sound, instantly turning into charred remains, and falling to the ground!

Chen Yuan's sword energy swept outwards in layers, covering the sky and the earth, dense and overwhelming!

All of this caused the three assassins who had arrived to change their expressions drastically.

They hadn't expected Chen Yuan and Li Wei to be so powerful.

Even with three against two, they couldn't defeat the latter.

After the wave of sword energy subsided, the crows that filled the sky disappeared.

The three figures in front of them were revealed, their expressions grim, and blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

The man stared intently at Chen Yuan, grinned, and revealed his menacing fangs.

"As expected of someone of the same realm who could defeat Song Qingxue, truly formidable!"

The human race's mighty swordsmanship is truly unparalleled in its power!

"It's a pity that your cultivation level hasn't reached the Purple Mansion stage, so the vast spiritual power you can unleash is ultimately limited."

Chen Yuan didn't say anything, and charged forward again.

This time, his target was the short-haired woman.

"Ha, do you really think I'm made of clay?"

The short-haired woman sneered, muttering incantations as she prepared to cast a spell.

But the next moment, she found herself wrapped in black threads.

"What?"

The short-haired woman was terrified and struggled to break free from the silk threads.

But the threads tightened more and more, revealing her curvaceous figure and making her look especially sexy.

With the fangs at the corners of her mouth, she looks like a female vampire!

Li Wei's eyes widened suddenly, and he swallowed hard in disbelief.

laugh!

Chen Yuan remained indifferent, his Tianzheng Sword flashing like lightning, instantly piercing her brow!

puff!

The Heavenly Sword pierced through her brow and emerged from the back of her head, blood dripping from its tip.

"..."

The short-haired woman stared wide-eyed, her eyes wide open in death!

boom!

The Heavenly Righteous Sword in Chen Yuan's hand erupted with explosive flames, instantly shattering his head.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, causing the male assassin and the long-haired woman to change their expressions drastically!

"There are still people around!"

"It's a deep, menacing voice," the assassin said.

"I heard that there's a little demon who can turn invisible by his side."

As soon as the long-haired woman finished speaking, her feet were entangled in a thicket of hair. A powerful force pulled her down to the ground and dragged her into the depths of the forest!

"What?"

The male assassin was terrified and tried to rush to the rescue, but was stopped by Chen Yuan and Li Wei.

Soon, a piercing scream echoed from the depths of the woods.

Clearly, the long-haired woman also met a violent end.

"Damn it! The intelligence was wrong!"

The male assassin cursed angrily, then turned to leave.

However, Chen Yuan and Li Wei surrounded him, and after a few moves, Chen Yuan stabbed him in the neck with his sword!

"Wait, bro, let's talk this out!"

The male assassin cried out in terror, "I don't want to die."

"Shut up!"

Li Wei cursed angrily as the golden greatsword slammed down on his head, smashing his skull open!

puff!

Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.

Fortunately, a spiritual energy barrier was erected in front of Chen Yuan.

Otherwise, he would be splattered with blood and covered in filth.

「唳…………」

Just then, Chen Yuan suddenly turned around, and a piercing long howl rang out from the top of the void behind him.

A tremendous pressure, like a tsunami, swept towards this place!

Chen Yuan's pupils contracted. "Quick, let's go! A Purple Mansion Realm expert is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and ran!

Li Wei searched the corpse on the spot and obtained several storage bags, then immediately followed.

Soon, more than a dozen figures in black robes appeared on the spot.

Several crows stood atop each of the figures.

These figures stared at the two corpses on the ground with extremely gloomy expressions.

"The intelligence is wrong. That kid is definitely not as simple as just being at the Great Perfection of the Yellow Court Realm."

One of them said in a gloomy tone.

"Hey, they went that way! Quick, after them! Don't let them get away!"

A crow cawed, its voice sharp and piercing!

Upon hearing this, the black-robed figures instantly took to the air and shot forward.

……

On the other side, Chen Yuan and the others ran for most of the day and stopped in a valley to rest for a while.

"Damn those raven crows, they're like a persistent ghost!"

Li Wei, panting heavily, muttered curses, "Who on earth sent so many assassins to kill us?"

"The Song family!"

Chen Yuan said coldly.

Li Wei's eyes widened in disbelief as he said, "Has the Song family gone mad? Do they really think we can wipe out Song Tianwen and the rest of them?"

Chen Yuan remained silent and did not speak.

Li Wei and Nuomi were unaware that Chen Yuan had gone to see Song Tianwen alone.

"Um?"

Li Wei turned his head to look at Chen Yuan, whose face remained calm, his eyes slowly widening.

"I...oh my god, Yuan, you really did this, right?"

Nuomi blinked her eyes and hugged the human skin umbrella to her chest.

"Do you think I can kill Song Tianwen? Especially considering how many experts are among his group?"

Chen Yuan looked at Li Wei, smiled, and said.

Li Wei was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, you're awesome, but not that awesome."

Chen Yuan smiled but didn't say anything.

"Help!"

Just then, a woman's cry for help came through the air.

At the entrance to the valley ahead, a woman with tattered clothes and disheveled hair ran towards them with a look of terror on her face.

Chen Yuan and his two companions immediately became alert and each drew their weapons.

Chen Yuan took out the Blood Bone Sword, Li Wei held the Golden Greatsword, and Nuomi opened the umbrella in her hand.

The sky was dim and there was no strong sun... so the little girl Nuomi holding the umbrella looked incredibly strange.

But then, the woman in the red dress who had cried for help ran towards the three of them.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

Although the woman in the red dress looked terrified and disheveled, she was very beautiful, with delicate features and fair, smooth skin.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Behind the woman in the red dress, a group of burly men, brandishing swords, were desperately chasing after her.

"A-Yuan!"

Li Wei looked at Chen Yuan.

"run!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yuan turned and ran at an extremely fast speed.

Nuomi stuck out her tongue and disappeared from the spot.

Li Wei was dumbfounded. "Holy crap, weren't you going to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? You just ran away like that?"
