“Elder Dong, be careful!” Ji Wenlong roared as four stands of qi appeared in the distance. It formed a massive blade that shot towards Dong Qianzui. 

“Ji Wenlong, you should focus on our battle!” Lang Xiaoyun yelled as a massive moon appeared in the skies above. Three strands of extermination qi attempted to stop Ji Wenlong’s blade, but a ray of blade light managed to escape.

The black colored blade light tore through space and arrived beside Dong Qianzui as it forced a figure to jump out from his hiding spot. A pair of wings formed with his inner qi could be seen keeping him in flight.

Waving a branch-like weapon, it crashed into the black blade light.

Rumbling filled the air as the black blade light started to dissipate.

Not too far from the person who appeared, a sea of flames appeared as Dong Qianzui hugged his giant gourd. Unfortunately, he missed.

“What a pity…” The winged man sighed. He seemed to regret the fact that he missed his chance to ambush Dong Qianzui.

“Elder Dong, come over here!” Ji Wenlong heaved a sigh of relief.

Out of all the Martial Extermination Realm experts, Dong Qianzui was the weakest! 

Even with his feat of defeating Yu Zhiqing at the start of the battle, he was still the weakest link among them all!

As such, the winged man had the intention of taking him out.

It was fortunate that Ji Wenlong’s senses were sharp. Otherwise, the battle would turn on its head the moment a Martial Extermination Realm expert from the Tongyou Peak died. 

A spear light tore through the sea of flames at that very instant as Yu Zhiqing flew unsteadily towards the winged man. “Lu Zhanyi, why didn’t you stop him earlier?!” 

Lu Zhanyu rolled his eyes and said casually, “Yu Zhiqing, let’s make things clear. You invited me here to help you fight. I’m not here to listen to your orders. If you think that I’m useless, I’ll leave the battle right now!” 

“You… Cough, cough, cough!” Yu Zhiqing felt a sickly sweet sensation rising up his throat. Lucky for him, he didn’t choke on his own blood.

Lu Zhanyi ignored Yu Zhiqing and looked behind him casually. “That old man’s strength might not be extremely impressive, but he’s a cunning bastard. If I were you, I wouldn’t have wasted my time talking to him in case I fall into his trap.” 

Yu Zhiqing suppressed his injuries after much difficulty, and he wanted to take his leave. However, he felt danger coming from behind and he was swallowed by a ball of flame before he could react.

Fortunately, that was an ordinary ball of flame that couldn’t hurt him.

Even so, the fire that appeared was more than enough to burn through his clothes! Even though he was unharmed, some parts of his clothes turned into ash and his ash-colored buttocks were revealed to the world.

“Ha… Haha… Hahahahahaha!” Lu Zhanyi roared with laughter. 

“Brother Lu, this isn’t time to crack your jokes! The enemy is before us and I hope you can give it your all! Otherwise, Brother Lang will have to endure even more pressure!” Ran Biluo, who was observing the situation from the side, quipped. 

Suppressing his laughter, Lu Zhanyi muttered, “Big Sister Ran is something else. Since you said so, I guess I will have to take action!” 

He waved his branch-like weapon across the air and a pillar of light emerged. A ball of wine-red light appeared not too far away and emitted a soft silvery glow. It behaved like a sinister bandit waiting for the perfect moment to enter the battle when Lu Zhanyi sighed, “Brother Yu, please.”

The battlefield that was already filled with chaos as Ji Wenlong and Lang Xiaoyun clashed with each other received their new addition, a giant winged deer! Every time it went deeper into the battlefield, it would be repelled by the four colored lights. Even so, it was able to waste Ji Wenlong’s strength.

Yu Zhiqing quickly donned another robe and jumped into the fray with his Spiritual Snake Spear.

Even though his figure looked extremely weak, the three of them finally managed to eke out an advantageous position when facing Ji Wenlong’s terrifying strength.

…

Shang Xia couldn’t be bothered with the huge battle in the air as he continued to chase. Even when Lang Jingyun destroyed the patrol squad previously, Shang Xia forced himself to remain focused on the task at hand. 

All of a sudden, the situation changed and Shang Xia’s expression sank.

With yet another rattling noise filling the air, another chain was broken!

There were twelve bridges in total around the Tongyou Peak, and every bridge was made with three thick metal chains!

In order to destroy a bridge, one had to shatter all three chains!

From the sound of it, the destroyed chain came from the Kaiyuan Peak.

Hearing the disturbance, Jin Guanchao sped up once again.

As the two of them continued their little game of tag, the distance that separated them drew closer.

“Jin Guanchao, you won’t be able to escape! If you continue running, all the blood in your body will dry up!” Shang Xia snapped. 

Shang Xia could see that even though Jin Guanchao tried to seal off his wound, the inner qi in his body was weakening as he ran. Blood was already started to reappear.

As he said that, the two of them approached the bridge connecting the Kaiyuan Peak to the main peak.

Looking at the intact bridge before him, Shang Xia concluded that the one that broke was the bridge connecting the Kaiyuan Peak to the Qiling peak. How could such a serious mistake happen?! What in the world was Tang Yuan doing?!

However, Shang Xia soon noticed three people standing at the side of the bridge, arguing about something.

Seeing someone he was familiar with, Shang Xia yelled, “Instructor Yuan, stop Jin Guanchao! He’s a traitor from the Rose Party!”

His voice quickly caught their attention and looks of surprise appeared on their faces. The lady among them reached over to grab Jin Guanchao.

What Shang Xia didn’t understand was that all three cultivators standing at the side of the bridge were in the Martial Intent Realm. Jin Guanchao knew that he would be caught, but he still chose to head over.

Jin Guanchao was injured by both Sun Haiwei and Shang Xia, and he lost his arm to Shang Xi! He was so weak that he was captured easily.

However, their surprise was broken by a yell coming from the other side. “Send him over!” 

The woman who captured Jin Guanchao revealed a smile. She held him over the edge and waited for the rest to do their thing.

Yuan Zilu yelled, “Jia Yuntian, looks like he’s pretty important to you guys! Since that’s the case, let’s trade!” 

“Jia Yuntian?” Shang Xia’s heart thumped. He thought back to the time he displayed the Chaos Essence Lightning Palm and how Jia Yuntian looked for him.

“Enough of your nonsense! If you don’t want him to die, send Jin Guanchao over!” Jia Yuntian’s voice came from the other side.

The woman who was holding Jin Guanchao snapped, “Do you really think we’re afraid to kill him?”

“Is that so? Alright. Let’s just kill the hostages we both have!” Jia Yuntian chuckled. “Now that the bridge connecting the Luohui and Qiling Peaks are broken, what do you think will happen when I break this too? Make a bold guess. Do you think I’m fast enough to destroy the bridge after killing Sang Youqi?” 

Shang Xia finally arrived and he saw Yuan Zilu nodding slightly to acknowledge his presence.

Staring at the Luohui Peak, Shang Xia saw Jia Yuntian holding a giant pair of scissors in his hand. There was someone in his other hand, and it was none other than Sang Youqi of the Protection Division.

“You dare?!” Yuan Zhen roared. “Jia Yuntian, if you try anything funny, you’re dead!” 

“Oh really?” Chuckling softly, Jia Yuntian kicked the person at his feet off the mountain. 

Shang Xia’s heart pounded in his chest. He recognized Tang Yuan who was rolling off the mountain, and from the looks of it, he had been dead for some time now.

“Jia… Yun… Tian!” Yuan Zhen wanted to rush over, but he was stopped by Yuan Zilu. However, his actions caused his internal injuries to flare up once again and Yuan Zilu’s body swayed in the wind.

“Cough… Senior Brother Yuan, you can’t… Junior Brother Sang is still in his hands!” 

Yuan Zhen was boiling with rage but he couldn’t do anything about it. He could only return to his original position.

“Haha, Yuan Zhen, if threats are useful, I’ll be dead a hundred times over! You’re a deacon of the Protection Division after all. Stop being so naive…” Jia Yuntian sneered.

“What do you want?” Yuan Zilu took a step forward and stood between Yuan Zhen and the bridge.
