I forged swords at Lingjian Mountain.

boom! !

A dull, loud bang exploded.

The burly man leading the Flying Heavy Sect was forced back by a single sword strike, his face turning extremely pale.

He hadn't expected Fan Zhuo from the Qingjian Sect...

It's gotten so strong!!

Although he had never fought this person before, his cultivation level was higher than the other party's.

In addition, the cultivation techniques and fighting style practiced by the Feizhong Sect have always been a strong counter to the Qingjian Sect.

But now...

He was completely dominated by his opponent throughout the entire match!

There were even several close calls.

This shocked him greatly.

"...It seems that what Xiong Yue said is true; there's something wrong with the [Qingfeng Sword] that Linjian Sect forged for Qingjian Sect!!"

Previously, Xiong Yue's hands were severed by Chen Xiu's sword, which surprised many people, but the Feizhong Sect did not take the Qingfeng Sword forged by the Linjian Sect too seriously.

After all, Xiong Yue wasn't a particularly strong disciple in the Feizhong Sect.

Chen Xiu was a highly valued core disciple of the Qingjian Sect.

It's not surprising that Xiong Yue was no match for Chen Xiu.

Many people believe that Chen Xiu's strength has made a breakthrough.

However, once they clashed...

Only then did the burly man from the Flying Heavy Sect realize it.

The problem wasn't with Chen Xiu, but with the Qingfeng Sword forged by the Linjian Sect—something was definitely wrong!

"Damn it!!"

The burly man from the Flying Heavy Sect was extremely anxious.

He knew that the source of coldness within He Shan's body was already on the verge of exploding.

If they cannot capture it in time and suppress the source of cold within its body, and it explodes here... not only will all the efforts of the Flying Heavy Sect over the years be completely wasted, but it will also bring them enormous trouble!

The sight of this situation made the burly man from Feizhong Sect's eyes turn red.

He went completely insane.

"Oh shit!"

"Let's give it our all!!"

His eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Just getting ready to fight to the death—

boom!!

A tremendous explosion caused both the Feizhong Sect and the Qingjian Sect to stop fighting simultaneously.

Both of their expressions changed drastically at the same time.

The Qingjian Sect was worried that something might happen to the Linjian Sect!

They had previously feared that the mysterious person emanating a chilling aura was targeting Lin Jianmen.

That loud explosion at that moment is probably not a good omen.

This made them extremely anxious.

No longer in the mood to continue fighting with the Feizhong faction, everyone immediately rushed over to check the situation.

The members of the Flying Heavy Sect turned deathly pale.

"It's over!!"

They know.

This enormous explosion must have been caused by the eruption of the cold energy within He Shan's body.

"Deacon Ke, what... what should we do?"

A disciple of the Flying Heavy Sect looked at the burly man at the head of the group, bewildered.

The burly man's face was extremely grim.

His worst fears came true!

"You few, quickly go and report this to the sect leader. The rest of you... come with me to take a look."

He said through gritted teeth.

Immediately.

The two groups of people quickly approached the location from which the loud noise had come.

When the disciples of the Qingjian Sect saw that the Linjian Sect was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They were relieved as long as Lin Jianmen was alright.

immediately.

Their attention was drawn to the strange landscape not far from Lin Jianmen.

When they saw the scene in that area, everyone stood frozen in shock and disbelief.

"What... what's going on here!?"

Fan Zhuo opened his eyes wide and was the first to gasp in shock.

He remembers it clearly.

Not long ago, this place was a complete mountain wall, an ordinary grassy slope.

But now...

A huge mine shaft suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the mountain wall!

Large wafts of cold air continuously emanated from the mine, causing the temperature within a radius of several dozen feet to plummet.

The life force of countless plants was extinguished, turning them into ice crystals that shattered at the slightest touch.

As far as the eye could see, it seemed to be a frozen wasteland!

However, in this desolate place, there are some strange plants that not only did not wither, but instead thrived in the frigid environment, making them exceptionally conspicuous.

Although they did not witness the earlier scene firsthand.

But judging from the intense chill emanating from this place, it's obvious...

The scene before us must have been caused by that mysterious person from before!

They simply couldn't fathom what kind of method could completely overturn the landscape in an instant!

They searched all around but could not find any trace of the mysterious man.

The burly man from the Flying Heavy Sect was mentally prepared.

Even after seeing the scene before him, his body still shuddered violently, as if struck by lightning; his vision went black, and he almost couldn't stand.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!!"

His heart was roaring!

His teeth were grinding together.

All those years of hard work have been wasted!!

at the same time.

Lin Huiyue and Wang Tiancong also rushed over from Lin Jianmen.

After a brief greeting to the Qingjian Sect disciples, the two walked straight into the chilly area.

Without hesitation, Wang Tiancong walked towards a nearby Ice Pattern Grass and reached out to pick it.

"What are you doing?!"

The burly man from the Flying Heavy Sect suddenly let out a loud shout.

His eyes were bloodshot and his face was contorted in a ferocious expression.

"This frigid land was created by the people of my Feizhong Sect. Every blade of grass and every tree here belongs to my Feizhong Sect! You have no right to touch anything here. Get out of here immediately!!"

Wang Tiancong frowned.

He was about to speak.

Fan Zhuo, who was standing to the side, spoke first and said in a cold voice.

"fart!"

"This is Linjian Sect's territory. No matter what happens here, it's Linjian Sect's land. What does it have to do with your Feizhong Sect?"

"As for you, you barged in without the permission of both our factions. I'm giving you ten breaths to disappear from my sight immediately. After ten breaths... you will be killed without mercy!!"

The burly man from the Flying Heavy Sect was already nearly driven mad by what happened to He Shan.

Upon hearing this, he was consumed by rage, his eyes blazing with fury.

"No need to wait ten breaths, come now!!"

He had been constantly being pressured by his opponent.

But he didn't really fight with all his might.

After all, at that time, there was always concern that the cold source in He Shan's body would explode.

Now that the situation is ruined, he has no more scruples. His killing intent is boiling, and he is not afraid of Fan Zhuo at all.

Just as the two sides were about to clash—

hum!

A sudden sword cry drew everyone's attention.

far away.

Dressed in white, Chen Xiu, holding the Qingfeng Sword, walked towards this place step by step.

Beside him sat Nie Shuang, calmly sitting in a wheelchair.

The moment the burly man from the Flying Heavy Sect's gaze fell upon Chen Xiu.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

He clearly sensed a chilling, bone-deep crisis, like a venomous snake, silently creeping up his back!

At the same time, he also saw that Chen Xiu was surrounded by visible wisps of light blue energy.

These air currents clearly revealed Chen Xiu's current cultivation level!

"The... the eighth level of the Acquired Realm!!"

"How is this possible?!"

The burly man from the Flying Heavy Sect was utterly shocked.

The last time Chen Xiu slashed Xiong Yue's hands, he was only at the sixth level of the Acquired Realm.

How long has it been?

He actually reached the eighth level of the Acquired Realm!

Although everyone knows that Chen Xiu is the most talented disciple of the Qingjian Sect, such a cultivation speed is really too exaggerated!

Moreover, it wasn't just Chen Xiu's cultivation level that terrified him.

The sword in his hand...

It made him feel the presence of death.

He even had a strong feeling that when he looked at that sword, his vital points were being pressed against by numerous invisible sword tips.

They realized that Chen Xiu's improvement was not only in cultivation level.

His swordsmanship...

There have clearly been significant breakthroughs in both areas!

Faced with such a life-or-death crisis, his rage and madness were extinguished instantly, like embers doused with ice water.

He froze on the spot, his back drenched in cold sweat, and dared not make a move.

Chen Xiu walked forward with an indifferent expression.

They didn't even bother to glance at these Feizhong faction members.

He simply said one sentence as he passed by these people.

"You have five breaths left..."

He had barely finished speaking.

The burly man from the Flying Heavy Sect trembled and took a deep breath.

"...Let's go!"

He dared not linger for even a second and quickly led his team to retreat.
