You call this the way of the sword?

The crimson fire originally burned only on the ground, like a flat surface. But as Qiao Lie raised his hand, the flames split into layers, rising upwards to form a cubic sea of ​​fire.

At this moment, ripples appeared above the sea of ​​fire, and the formation was burned out.

Once it's burned, things will be much easier.

The Crimson Fire Path can incinerate all things; any real target can be destroyed with a single technique.

Qiao Lie did not hesitate, and did not even look at it again.

The instant he withdrew his gaze, the cubic sea of ​​fire surged up, clinging to the array, including his crimson fire armor, which was being carried away by the current, aiming to incinerate it as quickly as possible.

This act of deliberately disarming oneself and exposing one's own abilities would be considered suicide for most people, but for Qiao Lie, it can only be described in two words: arrogance!

The leading tiger demon reacted the fastest. Suddenly, all the burning damage disappeared. He immediately turned around and stared at Qiao Lie. Just then, Qiao Lie also turned around and looked at him with utter contempt and a hint of amusement in his eyes.

It's as if to say, "If you can't even handle a few girls, you're just a piece of trash and you're going to die."

"You little bastard, you're asking for it!"

The tiger demon was instantly enraged. He lunged forward, leaping into the air and crashing down on Qiao Lie like a mountain, his tiger eyes gleaming fiercely as he sneered, "You think you can destroy my formation with your fragile skin? Dream on!!"

Having said that, the tiger demon twisted in mid-air and swung its large arm down with a heavy punch.

With a deafening roar, the earth instantly cracked into a spiderweb-like pattern.

This punch, accompanied by the tiger demon's skill, saw visible blood and energy swirling like gold and stone, transforming into a knuckle duster that unleashed invincible power.

However, it was not Qiao Lie that collapsed along with the earth, but the tiger demon's chest and back.

The tiger demon stopped abruptly after throwing only one punch, because another fist, using the momentum of his slam into the ground, pierced through his chest.

The fist was covered in crimson and purple flames, melting the protective array and burning away flesh and blood.

The tiger demon was frozen in place, its fierce light undiminished, but its life force had long since vanished.

Qiao Lie withdrew his fist and casually slapped the tiger demon's head, pushing it away as if it were in the way.

At this moment, Qiao Lie was covered in a layer of water-colored clothing. This water-colored clothing helped him block the shock of the tiger demon's full-force punch, and at the same time, it produced a chemical reaction with the red fire.

The clash between water and fire created high-temperature steam, which made Qiao Lie appear almost otherworldly, completely dispelling his previous image as a fragile magic user.

At this moment, the other tiger demons finally cut the ice pillar, and Qiao Wanyi and the other two jumped down and landed behind Qiao Lie. Lin Tong, who was further behind, also succeeded in attacking.

The double blast of wind blasted the head of one tiger, the shattering elbow strike shattered the heart of another, and the final, unpretentious overlord kick sent the third tiger demon flying dozens of meters away, unable to get up again.

From a high vantage point, it's clear that the entire situation is essentially just the two sides switching positions.

In less than 5 minutes, the tiger demon was killed or wounded more than half of its members.

How deep the water is here is probably something only a professional team can analyze in detail.

Yang Qingfeng, an outsider, was just watching the show, but he had a feeling that the core of this team was not actually the support player, but Qiao Lie, who was pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

The outcome of the next battle was a foregone conclusion.

When the tiger demons saw their leader killed, they were initially furious and wanted to take revenge, but they were met with a full-scale counterattack from Qiao Lie and his men.

Lin Tong, clad in Crimson Flame Armor and receiving treatment from Qiao Wanyi, fought with unrestrained and expansive movements. Qiao Lie also employed martial arts techniques no less impressive than Lin Tong's, and with the addition of Crimson Flame, the two resembled martial artists of different attributes, displaying highly entertaining violence.

Even Xiao Bingning switched from defense to offense, with ice spikes rising from the ground and unexpectedly shattering the tiger demon's protective array, causing them to cry out in pain.

In the end, the three teams of tiger-headed demons were completely defeated. Only a few, their courage broken, managed to escape by crushing the teleportation crystal before they died.

As the tiger demon fled, Qiao Lie released a large amount of crimson fire, which merged into the sea of ​​fire in the sky, causing its color to change, gradually turning from red to purple.

The crimson fire unleashed its true power, causing the formation to shatter rapidly, followed by the barrier.

At that moment, a deep voice came from the air.

"Well played."

"who!"

Qiao Lie turned around abruptly, instantly feeling as if he were facing a formidable enemy, especially when he saw that the newcomer was wearing a cloak and a strange ghost mask on his face, clearly not a friendly person.

He immediately began brainstorming, wondering whether to burn down the barrier to escape or to withdraw the Crimson Fire to try and fight back, when two exclamations rang out behind him.

"Brother Qingfeng!!"

"Senior Brother Yang!!"

Qiao Wanyi rushed out with a shout, followed closely by Xiao Bingning. Lin Tong and Lu Jingling also recognized Yang Qingfeng. Only Qiao Lie stood there, scratching his head.

Yang Qingfeng was also a little confused. He then took off his mask and landed on the ground, asking curiously, "Strange, how did you recognize me?"

Xiao Bingning smiled and said, "Among low-level cultivators, there aren't many who can fly."

Qiao Wanyi cupped Yang Qingfeng's face in her hands and said in a playful, mischievous tone, "I'd recognize you even if you turned to ashes."

Lin Tongze picked up Yu Junjian, which was wrapped in black cloth, patted Yang Qingfeng on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Brother, if you want to deceive people, at least stand up on your own two feet first."

"Even after hundreds of years, you're still flying in a seat. Only a fool wouldn't recognize you."

Just as Qiao Lie's face darkened and he was about to lash out, a small hand suddenly tugged at him.

Turning her head, Lu Jingling covered her mouth and whispered a reminder, "Don't get angry. They don't know you didn't recognize them. If you get angry, you'll give yourself away!"

Makes sense.

Qiao Lie instantly agreed and accepted it in his heart, but frowned and stubbornly said, "What are you talking about? This brat kidnapped my sister, do you think I wouldn't recognize him?"

Lu Jingling rolled her eyes playfully, thinking to herself, "I know better than you how many moles are on your butt, what are you pretending for?"

Qiao Lie ignored him completely, stepped forward, took Yang Qingfeng's ghost mask, and examined it. "I told you you were just lucky. You handled things haphazardly, even Lin Tong recognized you. And you're dressed like this... Holy crap!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Lie lifted Yang Qingfeng's cloak and stared in disbelief.

Lin Tong peeked out and was also stunned by Yang Qingfeng's handsome appearance in his fish-patterned robe.

"Holy crap, what kind of equipment is this? Where did it drop? It's Hu clothing, right?"

Qiao Wanyi was thinking of getting closer to Yang Qingfeng, but Qiao Lie and Lin Tong, those two third wheels, forced her to the side, which made her so angry that she pulled out a dagger and wanted to stab one of them to death.

Fortunately, Xiao Bingning and Lu Jingling pulled her back in time, thus preventing a scene of siblings killing each other.

Yang Qingfeng wasn't particular about clothes, but Qiao Lie and Lin Tong's reactions gave him some new ideas.

After a brief chat, the barrier was destroyed by the Crimson Flame, and the group returned to the Western Plains base.

At a pre-arranged inn, I met Jiang Yuan, who had two panda eyes.

The second phase of the all-swordsman campaign is to establish Fengtian in the name of chivalry, which requires sword spirits and sword masters to take up arms. The key to this is the Efeng Fish Robe.

Jiang Yuan took the initiative to take responsibility.

She worked overtime these past two days without sleep to finish making more than two hundred sets of fish costumes. At the same time, she also made matching straw hats according to Yang Qingfeng's additional requirements.

This is no ordinary straw hat, but a shielding device specially made by a weapon refiner.

As long as the bamboo hat is worn, the demons and ghosts will be unable to detect the information of the sword spirit and will not know that the sword spirit has been summoned. The demons and ghosts will be even more confused, and Fengtian will become even more mysterious.

Yang Qingfeng and Jiang Yuan both believed that the mysterious and unknown were the source of fear, and that once the demons and ghosts discovered that a mysterious organization had suddenly appeared among the human race, they would certainly not remain indifferent.

At the same time, Yang Qingfeng informed Qiao Lie and the others of his plan.

Apart from Lu Jingling, who voluntarily withdrew because she didn't want to hold the team back, Qiao Lie, Qiao Wanyi, Lin Tong, and Xiao Bingning all chose to join and changed into the Efeng Fish Robe.

With the addition of Yang Qingfeng and Jiang Yuan, the six of them became the core of Fengtian, and the organization was established.
