“Kill!” Frostblade snorted coldly, without hesitation, gripping his curved blade and charging towards the opponent.
“Stout, get in there!” Night Orchid shouted, swiftly following suit.
“All right!” Stout didn’t stay idle, charging into the fray alongside Rowan Wheatly.
“Ignorant fools, seeking death, I’ll oblige!” At this moment, a man, a half-step War God-Emperor, spoke with a deep voice. He raised his hand and sent a palm strike towards Frostblade, unleashing a surging wave of energy.
“Arrogant!” Facing an opponent two levels higher, Frostblade showed no sign of retreat. He channeled his entire strength into a powerful slash.
“Frostblade, be careful!” Night Orchid shouted, not overthinking, immediately using the Cold Moon Blade Technique to meet the attack.
The three clashed, and Night Orchid and Frostblade were forced several steps back, their blood boiling within. Fortunately, the opponent didn’t initially regard Frostblade, seriously, using only about eighty to ninety percent of his power. Otherwise, even with Frostblade and Night Orchid teaming up, they might not withstand a single move from the opponent.
“Orchid, watch out!” Just as Night Orchid steadied herself, Stout’s voice rang out.
A peak-level man from the opponent had already launched a palm strike at Night Orchid, creating a piercing sound in the air.
While shouting, Stout swiftly moved, unleashing a ferocious palm force at the same time.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed, and the opponent was sent flying as if hit by a car, tumbling on the ground and spewing blood. With Stout’s combat prowess, opponents of the same level were clearly outclassed. If not for the hurried response, the opponent would likely be dead by now.
“You fools, meet your death!” At this point, a Novice War God-Emperor man scowled. His figure moved swiftly, and two formidable waves of energy swept towards Night Orchid and Frostblade.
“Orchid, Frostblade, retreat!” Stout exclaimed.
However, Night Orchid and Frostblade, though having realized the situation, were obviously not as fast as the opponent. They could only watch as the opponent’s attacks came crashing towards them.
At that critical moment, a cold blade, accompanied by thunderous force, struck. The blade intercepted the opponent’s assault, and the man quickly retreated, his internal energy in turmoil.
“Casey, you finally showed up. If it were any later, we might not have survived!” Stout turned to look at Casey and the others, grinning.
“We got delayed by something.” After a brief response, Casey shouted to Azure Dragon, “Azure Dragon, we leave this to your trio. I’ll go help Bob and Ian!”
As soon as the words were spoken, Casey was already a hundred meters away.
“Alright!” Azure Dragon’s trio replied in unison, each flicking their wrists to send out three sharp and powerful blade waves.
The opponent’s group didn’t expect such formidable opponents to suddenly appear. Caught off guard, three of the men were split in half and fell paralyzed on the ground.
“Damn it, you all deserve to die!” Another man, at the early stage of War God-Emperor realm, roared angrily, gripping his sword and charging towards Azure Dragon.
“Death will be yours!”
Azure Dragon’s eyes narrowed, taking several big steps forward, his war blade releasing a chilling light as it shot out.
Meanwhile, the man who had been pushed back by Casey moments ago joined the attack. He could sense that Azure Dragon had the strongest cultivation among the three, and as long as they took down Azure Dragon, the others wouldn’t pose a threat.
Soon, the three engaged in a fierce battle.
Azure Dragon’s cultivation was half a level lower than the opponents, and he hadn’t yet formed the aura of a War God-Emperor, making it somewhat challenging. However, with a Bloodshadow blade in hand, he made it difficult for the two opponents to quickly overpower him. In no time, the three formed a vortex of a fiercely dynamic sword formation. Wherever they went, everything was crushed, and dust and debris flew.
At the same time, Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise had already engaged the pseudo War God-Emperor opponent. Although the opponent’s cultivation was two levels higher, Vermilion Bird’s and Black Tortoise’s on-the-spot experience was much richer. Both were fearless fighters with no defensive mindset, and their coordination was highly synchronized. As a result, after a dozen exchanges, the opponent not only failed to gain much advantage but was forced to retreat continuously.
After several rounds of attacking, the opponent neglected to defend, and his arm was sliced open by Vermilion Bird’s blade, spraying blood.
“Damn it!” The man glanced at his wound, shouting angrily, “Dare to harm me, you’ll die!”
As he spoke, his momentum soared again, his eyes squinting as he swung his sword, creating a sword wave dozens of meters long towards Vermilion Bird.
“Let’s see if you have the skills for this!” Vermilion Bird didn’t back down, continuing to flip his wrist, instantly forming a razor-sharp net of blade techniques to meet the incoming attack.
Simultaneously, Black Tortoise didn’t remain idle. His figure flashed to the left of the man, activating the Bloodshadow Blade Technique for a slash.
The man’s sword wave tore through Vermilion Bird’s net, leaving a more than twenty-centimeter-long wound on his waist, blood gushing out.
“Ugh…” Vermilion Bird groaned, stepping back seven or eight steps.
While Vermilion Bird was injured, the arcing blade wave unleashed by Black Tortoise had already reached the man. The man’s pupils shrank, unable to think much, hurriedly dodging to the side. However, although he avoided a fatal blow, the blade wave still carved a horrifying wound on his back, splattering blood and flesh. To his despair, just as he hadn’t completely stabilized his stance, Vermilion Bird’s second blade wave was already coming. The man, with a terrified expression, couldn’t dodge in time, raising his hand instinctively to block.
Boom!
After the blade passed, the man’s arm was severed at the elbow, falling to the ground along with his sword.
“Ah…” The man let out a painful cry, falling to the side.
“Die!” Following immediately, Black Tortoise’s voice drifted into his ears like the king of hell commanding death.
“No…” The man screamed in horror.
Before he could finish his plea, the blade flashed across his throat. A head soared into the air, and the headless body collapsed straight to the ground.
“Vermilion Bird, how are you?” Black Tortoise quickly approached him and asked.
“I’m fine! Go help Stout and the others!” Vermilion Bird took out a hemostatic ointment from his body, casually treating the wound.
“Got it!” Black Tortoise responded, turning around and rushing towards Stout’s battleground.
Stout was facing two War Emperors at the perfection stage and two War Emperors at the peak stage. The four of them working together made it quite challenging for Stout.
Up until now, Stout had sustained numerous injuries, and his breathing was erratic. However, the opponents hadn’t gained a significant advantage either. Among them, the two peak-level men were affected by Stout’s poison powder and were now sitting on the ground, using their inner energy to expel the toxin.
“This guy is quite tricky. Let’s finish this quickly!” The tall, peak-level man said to his companion before charging at Stout again.
“Alright!” The other man didn’t hesitate, sending out several fist winds.
