Wuxia: Become the 100-Victory Sword King at the Beginning

Chapter 218. Slaying the Horse-Drinking Gathering, Fierce Battle Against the Nine Poisons Sect
As soon as Shi Feiyang landed, his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, standing firmly as still as a rock.

His eyes, sharp as a hawk's, swept quickly and precisely across the fierce battle, taking in the entire situation before him.

In that brief moment, his thoughts raced like lightning as he pondered the most effective way to defeat the enemy. Immediately afterward, his right hand shot out like lightning, his long, strong fingers firmly gripping the Frostblade at his waist.

In that instant, the Frostblade was drawn, emitting a clear and melodious yet chilling dragon's roar. The blade gleamed with a cold light, shimmering with a captivating brilliance under the sunlight, instantly freezing the surrounding air into ice.

At the same time, Shi Feiyang activated the powerful and profound Mingyu Gong within his body. His internal energy flowed like a mighty river, and his skin became as smooth as jade, making him impervious to swords and spears.

As the Mingyu Gong was activated, a faint jade-colored light emanated from Shi Feiyang's body. This light was gentle yet contained boundless power.

He closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and felt the surging internal energy coursing through his meridians, a surge of confidence and pride welling up within him. Immediately afterward, Shi Feiyang unleashed his renowned "Hundred Victories Saber Technique," a technique that had shaken the martial world.

His steps shifted, steady yet agile, each step seemingly breaking through the void, carrying a unique rhythm.

His figure moved like a ghost among the henchmen, his movements swift and fluid, like flowing water.

He wielded the Frostblade in his hand with such precision that it was like a silver curtain of light completely enveloping him.

Shi Feiyang shouted loudly, his voice like a booming bell, shaking the surrounding air as if a thunderclap had sounded from the ground.

His eyes revealed determination and resolve. The Frost Blade in his hand, carrying immense force, cleaved down from above like a magnificent icefall descending from the sky, exuding boundless power.

Wherever it passed, the air was sliced ​​by an invisible blade, producing a piercing sound. The henchmen only felt a flash of cold light before their eyes, and a bone-chilling cold rushed towards them. Before they could react, they were cleaved in two by this sharp blade, and blood splattered on the spot.

Shi Feiyang felt no pity. He knew that these henchmen had been accomplices to evil and committed countless atrocities. If they were not eliminated today, they would become a major scourge to the martial arts world in the future.

Then, Shi Feiyang turned around, like a black whirlwind, his speed dazzling.

A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealed a confident and composed smile, a smile that carried disdain for his enemies and absolute confidence in his own strength. The Frostblade in his hand traced a beautiful yet deadly arc, its blade flashing like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, carrying boundless light and power.

The move was as swift as lightning. The henchmen only saw a flash of cold light before a sharp pain shot through their necks, and they collapsed dead one after another. Under Shi Feiyang's blade, the henchmen fell like autumn leaves swept away by the wind, their screams echoing. In no time, these henchmen were all slaughtered, and the street was littered with corpses, the ground stained red with blood, a scene of utter devastation.

At this moment, Dugu Liang sensed the danger and was filled with terror, all traces of his previous arrogance vanishing. His eyes darted around nervously, like a frightened bird.

Taking advantage of Shi Feiyang's killing of the henchmen, he turned around and tried to escape, staggering and looking quite disheveled.

Shi Feiyang would not let him escape so easily. He snorted coldly, a hint of disdain and anger flashing in his eyes. This anger stemmed from Dugu Liang's evil deeds and his offense against Yili.

Shi Feiyang chased after Dugu Liang like a white streak of light, his speed so fast that he was almost invisible. In the blink of an eye, he had caught up with Dugu Liang.

Shi Feiyang raised the Heavenly Frost Blade high and unleashed the "Frosty Sky Burial Soul" move from the "Hundred Victories Blade Technique." Its power was unparalleled. The Heavenly Frost Blade, carrying endless cold air and powerful internal force that was suffocating, slashed fiercely down at Dugu Liang.

Dugu Liang turned around in terror, trying to dodge, but found himself with nowhere to escape. The sharp blade light instantly enveloped him.

"Crack!" Dugu Liang was cleaved in two by this blade and fell into a pool of blood.

Shi Feiyang sheathed his sword with clean, swift movements, without the slightest hesitation, as natural as flowing clouds and water.

The moment the sword was sheathed, it made a crisp "click" sound.

Although his body was stained with some blood, his upright figure resembled a majestic mountain peak, radiating a reassuring aura. Seeing Shi Feiyang descend like a divine warrior, Ellie was overjoyed and excited beyond words.

In this mid-spring season, the sunlight gently shines on the earth, and a breeze carries a touch of warmth, just like Elizabeth's mood at this moment.

Her bright eyes lit up instantly, like twinkling stars in the night sky, dazzling and captivating. Her face, which had been slightly tired from the fierce battle, was now filled with joy under the bright spring sunshine.

Without hesitation, she ran towards Shi Feiyang, her steps light and hurried, like a little bird returning to its nest.

As she approached Shi Feiyang, she leaped up slightly and threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. Her intimacy was such that she wanted to merge herself with Shi Feiyang as one, as if afraid that he would disappear from her sight again.

Shi Feiyang caught Yili steadily and gently wrapped his arms around her waist.

Those strong arms formed an unbreakable barrier for Ellie.

A gentle smile appeared on his face, his eyes filled with doting affection. In this somewhat desolate environment of the Northwest, the tenderness between the two of them flowed like a warm current in their hearts.

The sunlight shines on them, sketching out a warm and beautiful picture.

Eliza buried her head in Shi Feiyang's chest, her voice slightly choked as she said, "Husband, you've finally come. I... I thought..."

Shi Feiyang gently stroked Yili's hair, feeling the delicate touch from his fingertips. He softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here now. I'm sorry you've suffered."

The two embraced tightly, their love as deep as newlyweds, oblivious to the bloodshed and carnage around them.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blows, lifting their hair and causing it to intertwine, just like the deep affection between them that cannot be severed.

A moment later, Shi Feiyang slowly released Yili, his expression becoming serious.

He took Ellie's hand and led her to a relatively safe spot, saying, "Madam, rescuing Wu Zhong this time won't be so simple. I've figured out the court's intentions. They're using Wu Zhong as bait and won't kill him easily. What we need to do is outlast the Embroidered Uniform Guard, wait for the right opportunity, and capture their commander to force them to release him."

Ellie nodded slightly, her eyes full of trust, and said, "Husband, I believe you. But waiting for the right opportunity is easier said than done; we must be extremely careful." Shi Feiyang's gaze was firm. He patted Ellie's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I already have a plan in mind."

Subsequently, Shi Feiyang escorted Yili to Hengshan.

Along the way, the warm spring sunshine shone on them, bathing them in a golden glow.

Along the roadside, tender green shoots peek out from the dead trees, swaying gently in the breeze, as if offering blessings to the loving couple.

Shi Feiyang and Yili rode side by side, sometimes talking softly, sometimes smiling at each other, their love as sweet as honey.

Shi Feiyang would occasionally brush a strand of hair from Yi Li's temples, and Yi Li would respond with a sweet smile.

The sweet atmosphere between the two could make the surrounding air feel sweet.

As they approached Mount Heng, Shi Feiyang decided to investigate the Nine Poisons Sect. He said to Elizabeth, "Madam, I'm going to check on the Nine Poisons Sect. You rest at the inn ahead. We'll go up the mountain together when I return."

Although Yili was a little worried, she knew that Shi Feiyang was sensible and nodded in agreement, saying, "Husband, please be careful in everything you do."

So, Eliza stayed at the inn to rest, where she encountered a sleazy-looking conman with shifty eyes. Seeing that Eliza was alone and beautiful, the conman harbored malicious intentions and tried to swindle her out of her money.

He walked up to Ellie with a smile on his face and said, "Miss, you seem to be in a hurry. Are you looking for something? I happen to know some important information about the Nine Poisons Sect in the Northwest. Perhaps I can help you."

Upon hearing this, Ellie's heart stirred.

She was naturally intelligent, and although she had doubts at the moment, she quickly changed her mind and decided to play along and pretend to take the bait.

She hurriedly asked, "Do you really know about the Nine Poisons Sect?"

Seeing that Ellie had taken the bait, the swindler was secretly pleased, but said with a straight face, "Of course. I have been wandering the martial world for many years and know many secrets. I have heard that the Nine Poisons Sect has hidden an important treasure in a valley, and they have been making big moves there recently. If you go, young lady, you may be able to discover their conspiracy."

The swindler, with his silver tongue, fabricated a seemingly plausible lie, and Elizabeth, feigning ignorance, actually "gained her trust."

Ellie gave the conman a small piece of silver and followed the clues he provided to a valley.

The valley was silent, filled with an eerie atmosphere.

The northwest wind carried a slight chill as it blew through the valley, making a "whooshing" sound, like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.

Ellie felt a vague unease, but thinking that she might be able to use this opportunity to draw out the forces behind it, she gritted her teeth and went inside.

Shortly after entering the valley, they heard the sound of a mechanism being activated. Suddenly, countless hidden arrows shot out from both sides of the valley.

Startled, Ellie quickly drew her longsword and unleashed her sect's ultimate technique, the "Cloud and Mist Sword Technique."

The sword flashed, like the clouds and mist swirling in the mountains, unpredictable yet concealing deadly intent.

With a flick of her wrist, the tip of her sword instantly transformed into several points of cold light, deflecting the incoming arrows.

The sword tip, as cold as a star, gleamed in the sunlight, colliding with the hidden arrow and making a clanging sound.

A group of bandits surged out from all sides of the valley and surrounded Ellie. The leader, wielding a large knife, roared, "Little lady, you can't escape today! Humph! You'll just be our bandit queen!" With that, he brandished his knife and charged at Ellie.

Undeterred, Ellie channeled her inner strength, and with a flash, she appeared before the bandits like a white streak of light.

She unleashed the "Cloud Sweep and Fallen Flowers" move from the "Cloud and Mist Sword Technique," her longsword slicing through the air like flowing water. The bandit only felt a flash of cold light before his eyes, a sharp pain in his arm, and his broadsword fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ellie changed her sword technique and unleashed "Mist Locks the Shadows," instantly enveloping the bandits in sword shadows. The bandits frantically waved their weapons amidst the sword shadows, but they could not touch Ellie at all.

Ellie moved with agility, like a flower blooming in a storm, weaving freely through the bandits. Each sword strike brought forth a spray of blood, and the bandits screamed in agony, filling the valley with a strong stench of blood.

Seeing this, the other bandits, like a pack of hungry wolves spotting their prey, swarmed forward with bloodshot eyes. They roared and brandished their weapons, which gleamed coldly, trying to kill Ellie.

Despite being surrounded by bandits, Ellie moved with effortless grace. Her swordsmanship was exquisite, every move perfectly executed, displaying the elegance of a renowned master. Suddenly, her eyebrows arched, her beautiful eyes flashed with murderous intent, and with a swift turn, she unleashed her signature technique, "Mist-Locked Shadow."

In an instant, a white mist rapidly spread out from the center of Ellie, like the thick morning fog in the mountains, enveloping the entire valley.

The bandits felt as if all they could see was a white blur, so dark they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces, and they couldn't make out Ellie's figure at all.

They frantically brandished their weapons, trying to fend off the attack that seemed to come from nowhere. In an instant, the bandits clashed with each other, creating chaos, and some even accidentally injured their own men.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ellie moved like a ghost among the bandits, her long sword flashing coldly as she pierced their vital points with each strike.

Each thrust of the sword was accompanied by a scream from the bandits. They clutched their wounds, collapsed to the ground, and blood quickly spread across the earth, turning the land a dark red.

However, the number of bandits was large, like a tide, wave after wave.

Although Ellie possessed superb martial arts skills and profound inner strength, she gradually began to feel the strain.

Her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and her breathing became rapid. At this moment, she keenly sensed that the valley was full of traps and mechanisms, and that the slightest carelessness would lead to utter destruction.

While skillfully dodging the bandits' attacks, Ellie's sharp eyes carefully observed her surroundings. She discovered that the mechanism seemed to be intricately connected to several giant rocks in the valley.

Ellie secretly plotted, seized the opportunity, took a deep breath, gathered all her inner strength, and with a delicate shout, unleashed the move "Parting the Clouds to See the Sun." The longsword in her hand shone brightly, carrying an incomparably powerful sword aura, like a bolt of lightning, and fiercely pierced towards the boulder.

The sword energy crisscrossed, and wherever it passed, the air emitted a sharp whistling sound.

The boulder trembled violently under the impact of the powerful sword energy before collapsing with a deafening roar. This roar, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, echoed throughout the valley. The collapse of the boulder triggered a chain reaction of mechanisms, and a series of creaking sounds filled the valley as some of the mechanisms were successfully deactivated.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the mechanism, Ellie used her skillful move "Flying Clouds Chasing the Moon".

Her movements were as light as a flying cloud. With a light touch of her toes, she broke through the bandits' encirclement and ran towards the outside of the valley.

Seeing this, the bandits were unwilling to let her go and tried to give chase, but they were blocked by the collapsing boulders and the chaotic traps. They could only watch helplessly as Ellie left, letting out angry roars of resentment.

Ellie finally escaped her predicament and learned that this was the headquarters of the Northwest Drinking Horse Society. As she walked out of the valley, the Society's leader, Li Yueqing, deputy leader, Ma Qibin, elder Wu Shun, and elder Wu Chengwei happened to be returning from their treacherous mission.

They saw that Ellie was covered in blood, yet still stood tall, her eyes filled with an indomitable determination, and they immediately sensed something was wrong.

Li Yueqing's face darkened, and with a cold snort, she ordered a group of thugs from the Yinma Society to surround Yili.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the sky, as if a shooting star had streaked across the heavens.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shi Feiyang using the unparalleled lightness skill "Leaving No Trace for a Thousand Miles" to descend from the sky like a war god.

His face was cold and stern, and his eyes revealed determination and resolve, as if he could see through all the conspiracies and schemes in the world.

He was agile and his clothes fluttered. He exuded a powerful aura that made people feel awe.

Shi Feiyang activated the Mingyu Gong, his internal energy flowing continuously, as if he were enveloped in a soft jade-colored light, his skin as smooth as jade, impervious to swords and spears.

He gripped the Frost Blade tightly in his hand, its blade gleaming with a cold light and radiating a chilling aura.

The moment Shi Feiyang landed, his gaze swept quickly across the crowd. When he saw that Yili was safe and sound, he felt a little relieved, but when he saw the bandits surrounding him, his eyes instantly sharpened like an eagle's.

He drew a sharp arc with the Heavenly Frost Blade in his hand, unleashing the "Hundred Victories Blade Technique".

With another loud shout, his voice booming like a bell, echoing throughout the valley, the Frost Blade, carrying immense force, slashed down from above like an icefall descending from the sky, leaving a piercing sound in its wake.

The bandits felt a chilling cold rush towards them, and before they could react, they were cleaved in two by the sharp blade, their blood splattering everywhere.

As Shi Feiyang wielded his sword to kill the enemy, he approached Yi Li, determined to protect her.

When Yili saw Shi Feiyang arrive, a warm feeling welled up in her heart. Her beautiful eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she drew her sword and began to fight with Li Yueqing, Ma Qibin, Wu Shun, Wu Chengwei and other experts from the "Mingjian Sect".

Li Yueqing brandished her longsword with ruthless moves, aiming straight for Yili's throat. Yili dodged the fierce attack with a quick movement and unleashed a move from the "Cloud Mist Sword Technique" called "Clouds Sweep Away Fallen Flowers," her longsword flowing like clouds and water.

Li Yueqing felt a flash of cold light before her eyes and quickly raised her sword to defend. With a "clang", the two swords clashed, and sparks flew everywhere.

Shi Feiyang caught a glimpse of Yili fighting Li Yueqing out of the corner of his eye. Although he believed in Yili's strength, he couldn't help but worry about her. His swordsmanship became even more ruthless, and he killed the bandits who approached Yili one by one.

Ma Qibin launched a sneak attack from behind Yi Li, his broadsword whistling through the air. Yi Li sensed the danger behind her, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and soared into the air like a swallow, unleashing "Mist Locking Traces," instantly enveloping Ma Qibin in a white mist.

Ma Qibin frantically brandished his broadsword in the fog, but he couldn't find Yi Li anywhere.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ellie emerged from the mist and thrust her sword at Ma Qibin. Ma Qibin reacted quickly, dodging the fatal blow.

Seeing Ma Qibin sneak attack Yili, Shi Feiyang was furious. He lightly touched the ground with his feet and rushed towards Ma Qibin at the speed of light. The Heavenly Frost Blade in his hand drew a cold light and went straight for Ma Qibin's vitals.

Ma Qibin was shocked and quickly drew his sword to defend himself.

Elders Wu Shun and Wu Chengwei were not to be outdone. They joined forces and unleashed the "Netherworld Sword Fusion" technique. Their swordsmanship complemented each other perfectly, one attacking and the other defending, creating an impenetrable defense. Wu Shun's swordplay was fierce, primarily targeting Yi Li's upper body, while Wu Chengwei's swordplay was steady, focusing on Yi Li's lower body.

Although struggling slightly from the combined attack of the two elders, Ellie skillfully defused each crisis with her superb swordsmanship and unwavering will. She sometimes used unorthodox techniques, sometimes aimed directly at vital points, and fought the two elders to a standstill.

Seeing that Yili was struggling, Shi Feiyang was extremely anxious, as if a raging fire was burning in his chest.

He knew that Ellie was highly skilled in martial arts, but even so, he was bound to be in trouble when faced with the combined attack of several masters from the "Dark Sword Sect".

At this moment, he could no longer restrain himself. He immediately channeled all his inner strength and unleashed a move from the "Hundred Victories Blade Technique" called "Cold Light Gliding Shadow".

Suddenly, Shi Feiyang leaped up, like a soaring eagle, and instantly plunged into the enemy ranks.

His movements were agile and unpredictable, darting between bandits and experts of the Dark Sword Sect like a ghost. His speed was so great that he was almost invisible. The Heavenly Frost Blade in his hand gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight, like a silver curtain protecting him completely. With each swing, the Heavenly Frost Blade whistled through the air, as if it could tear the very fabric of the world apart.

The Frost Blade in his hand drew deadly arcs, and wherever it went, enemy bandits fell victim to its attacks.

A series of "snap" sounds rang out, crisp yet piercing, like the cry of an owl, stabbing straight into one's eardrums.

With that sound, blood splattered, and severed limbs and mangled bodies flew everywhere, leaving the scene a bloody mess. Shi Feiyang's eyes were icy cold, like a deep pool in the cold night. Every strike of his blade carried a resolute momentum, determined to completely annihilate the enemies before him.

Upon seeing this, a burly bandit mustered his courage and rushed forward, brandishing his large knife and roaring viciously, "Don't be so arrogant, kid! Today I'll make sure you die here!"

Shi Feiyang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and he coldly replied, "You bunch of rabble think you can stop me? You're dreaming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the Frostblade in his hand. A flash of cold light appeared, and the bandit felt a blur before his eyes. His broadsword was cut in half. Then, a sharp pain came from his neck. His eyes widened, his face full of terror, and he slowly fell to the ground.

Then, Shi Feiyang roared, his voice booming like a bell, shaking the surrounding air.

He gripped the Frostblade tightly, his figure like a black lightning bolt, rushing towards Li Yueqing.

Li Yueqing was the leader of the "Nether Sword Sect". Seeing Shi Feiyang's fierce approach, she was afraid but dared not show weakness. She quickly brandished her long sword and used the "Nether Sword Sect's" ultimate technique, "Nether Shadow Sword Technique".

His sword flashed, moving like a ghost, as he tried to block Shi Feiyang's attack.

Shi Feiyang snorted coldly, and with his Heavenly Frost Blade, he unleashed the "Frost Blade Breaking Ice" move, slashing down from above like an icefall descending from the sky with immense force. Li Yueqing was shocked and quickly raised her sword to defend herself.

With a deafening clang, like the tolling of a great bell, sparks flew everywhere. Li Yueqing felt a sharp pain in her arm, and her longsword nearly slipped from her grasp. Sensing danger, she hurriedly fired a red flaming arrow into the sky as a warning, requesting assistance from some gang.

Shi Feiyang struck successfully and turned around, slashing at Ma Qibin with his Heavenly Frost Blade.

Holding a long sword, Ma Qibin unleashed the "Yama Takes in Disciples" technique, his sword flashing as he attempted to stop Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang flashed away like a wisp of smoke, skillfully dodging Ma Qibin's attack. At the same time, he unleashed a move from the "Hundred Victories Blade Technique" called "Golden Dragon Coiling Claws." The Frost Blade in his hand was like a nimble white snake, instantly piercing towards Ma Qibin's throat.

Unable to dodge in time, Ma Qibin felt a chill in his throat, and blood gushed out. His eyes widened in disbelief before he slowly collapsed. Having dealt with Ma Qibin, Shi Feiyang's sharp gaze locked onto Wu Shun.

Seeing that things were not going well, Wu Shun tried to escape, but Shi Feiyang would not let him succeed.

He lightly touched the ground with his feet and chased after it like a beam of light.

In his panic, Wu Shun unleashed the "Nether Sword Sect's" defensive move, "Nether Shield Protection," which enveloped him in a layer of black sword energy. Shi Feiyang roared and unleashed the ultimate move of the Hundred Victories Blade Technique, "Heaven and Earth Live Together," with his Heavenly Frost Blade. The powerful sword energy instantly pierced through Wu Shun's defense, and the Heavenly Frost Blade thrust straight towards Wu Shun.

Wu Shun screamed and collapsed into a pool of blood.

At this point, only Wu Chengwei remained.

Wu Chengwei was terrified, but he still forced himself to swing his longsword, trying to put up a final resistance.

A hint of disdain flashed in Shi Feiyang's eyes. He unleashed the "Frosty Sky Burial Soul" move from the "Hundred Victories Blade Technique." The Heavenly Frost Blade, carrying endless cold and powerful internal force, swept towards Wu Chengwei.

Wu Chengwei felt a powerful force rushing towards him, which he could not resist at all. His body was instantly struck by the Heavenly Frost Blade, and he flew out and crashed heavily to the ground, lifeless.

Seeing Shi Feiyang display his divine power as if he were in an empty field, killing several of their experts in succession, Li Yueqing panicked. Her originally calm eyes were now filled with fear and unease, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, wetting the hair at her temples.

The longsword in his hand trembled slightly, like a candle flickering in the wind, teetering on the verge of collapse. He had lost all the composure and confidence he had displayed when confronting Ellie. Ellie keenly sensed Li Yueqing's unease, a resolute glint flashing in her beautiful eyes. She immediately channeled her strength into her arm and unleashed her sect's ultimate technique, the "Cloud Mist Sword Technique."

With a swift turn, her figure moved as gracefully as a butterfly in flight. Her longsword, like a dragon emerging from the sea, flashed and emanated a chilling aura. She unleashed her "Rising Clouds and Soaring Dragon" technique, pointing her sword to the heavens. As the sword tip trembled, several cold stars materialized, like twinkling stars in the night sky, carrying a sharp, deadly aura that aimed directly at Li Yueqing's throat.

Li Yueqing was shocked and panicked. In her haste, she swung her long sword and unleashed the "Netherworld Sword Sect's" defensive move, "Nether River Protection."

A layer of black sword energy instantly appeared around him, forming a solid barrier in an attempt to block Ellie's attack.

However, Ellie's offensive was relentless and she was not about to give up. Her eyebrows furrowed, she bit her lower lip, let out a delicate shout, and swung her long sword to unleash a move from the "Cloud and Mist Sword Technique" called "Mist Locking the Trail".

In an instant, a white mist rapidly spread out from the center of Ellie, like the thick morning fog in the mountains, enveloping the world.

Li Yueqing was surrounded by fog, and all she could see was a white blur, so thick that she couldn't see her own hand in front of her face, and she couldn't make out Yili's figure at all.

He grew increasingly panicked, wildly swinging his longsword in his hand, trying to defend against the attack that seemed to come from nowhere, while repeatedly shouting, "You...you stay away!"

Ellie gave him no chance to catch his breath, her figure moving like a ghost through the mist, the long sword in her hand flashing with cold light.

She seized the opportunity and unleashed a move called "Clouds Sweep Away Fallen Flowers," her longsword slicing through the air like flowing clouds and water, carrying a powerful momentum.

Li Yueqing felt a flash of cold light before her eyes, and a chill rushed towards her face. She instinctively raised her sword to defend herself.

With a loud "clang," like the tolling of a great bell, sparks flew everywhere.

Li Yueqing felt a sharp pain in her arm, almost dropped the long sword from her hand, and staggered back a few steps.

Pressing her advantage, Ellie leaped forward like a white lightning bolt, raising her longsword high and unleashing the move "Sword Piercing the Sky." The powerful sword energy instantly shattered Li Yueqing's faltering defenses, and the longsword, carrying immense force, slashed towards Li Yueqing.

Li Yueqing was filled with terror and tried to hide, but found that she had nowhere to escape.

His eyes widened in despair as he could only watch helplessly as Ellie's longsword fell.

Snap! Li Yueqing was cleaved in two by Yili's sword, the two halves of his body lying on opposite sides, the scene extremely bloody.

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps came from afar, accompanied by faint shouts.

Two young men from the Nine Poisons Sect, Yang Song and Guo Dongxiang, arrived in a panic, staggering along with their master, Wu, the leader of the "Poison Spider Skill," and his fellow disciples Wu Jian, Wu Nang, and Wu Tun, leading a group of Nine Poisons Sect disciples.

Yang Song and Guo Dongxiang were terrified when they saw the mess in front of them, with Li Yueqing and the others lying on the ground in disarray, their blood spreading across the ground and staining the soil crimson.

The two men approached Wu, trembling, their voices shaking, and said, "Master, the one who killed Li Yueqing was the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, Yi Li. And the one beside Yi Li is none other than Shi Feiyang, the leader of the Xiong Ying Society. I've heard that his martial arts are incredibly powerful, unpredictable, and extremely formidable." Upon hearing this, Wu's face darkened, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he let out a cold snort, like the cry of a night owl, eerie and terrifying, sending chills down one's spine. Without another word, Wu suddenly leaped up, like a black eagle, and swooped down towards Shi Feiyang.

He waved his hands, unleashing his bizarre and ruthless "Poison Spider Technique." In an instant, his palms turned black and shiny, faintly emitting a nauseating stench.

A thick black mist instantly filled the air, causing vegetation to wither and the ground to be corroded and riddled with holes, emitting wisps of blue smoke.
