My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

"Bang!"

Li Xuancang and Fang Tianhan fell off a cliff and crashed heavily to the ground.

"puff!"

Li Xuancang gushed blood, his whole body was in excruciating pain, covered in bruises, and he grimaced in agony.

On the other side, Fang Tianhan didn't make a sound at all, and was already moving around in different places.

"The Invincible Wind and Fire Wheels, truly!"

Li Xuancang was absolutely certain that both he and Fang Tianhan would be severely injured in the process.

She could easily survive thanks to her powerful physique, while Fang Tianhan was certain to die.

"Xuan Cang, Xuan Cang..."

As Li Xuancang lay on the ground recovering, Du Tianfeng's anxious voice came from below.

"Captain Du, why is he down here too?"

Li Xuancang was somewhat surprised to hear Du Tianfeng's voice.

"Lord Du, I'm here."

Li Xuancang shouted loudly.

Upon hearing Li Xuancang's voice, Du Tianfeng's expression brightened, and he hurriedly ran over.

Upon approaching, Du Tianfeng asked with concern, "Xuan Cang, are you alright?"

Li Xuancang was covered in wounds and looked extremely miserable, while Du Tianfeng looked worried.

"It's nothing, just some superficial injuries, they'll heal quickly."

Li Xuancang didn't care about this injury at all; he would recover completely in a few days.

Hearing this, Du Tianfeng finally felt relieved and scolded, "Xuan Cang, you were too impulsive."

Du Tianfeng said earnestly, "You are so young yet you already have such strength. You have a bright future ahead of you. There is no need for you to perish together with the evil cultivators."

Du Tianfeng's words came from the bottom of his heart.

Li Xuancang is already at a young age and can rival those in the Qi Refining Realm. It is not impossible for him to surpass him in the future. It would be very unwise for him to perish together with Fang Tianhan.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir. I will not do it again next time."

Seeing that Du Tianfeng cared about him, Li Xuancang did not refute him and directly assured him.

Du Tianfeng's gaze softened, and he asked, "Where are the evil cultivators?"

He was only concerned with Li Xuancang and only now inquired about the evil cultivator.

Li Xuancang raised an eyebrow and looked at Fang Tianhan's body, which was torn to pieces beside him.

"This is what evil cultivation is."

Following Li Xuancang's gaze, Du Tianfeng looked on in astonishment.

Fang Tianhan was dead beyond recognition; his head had exploded like a watermelon, making him completely unrecognizable.

"Are all body cultivators this powerful?"

Both fell from a precipice, but Li Xuancang was only injured, while Fang Tianhan was torn to pieces. The difference between the two was simply too great.

It was so great that Du Tianfeng began to doubt whether the body cultivators he had encountered before were actually body cultivators.

"Alright, let's go upstairs!"

Du Tianfeng snapped out of his thoughts and helped Li Xuancang leave.

He risked everything to set up a trap to wipe out the evil cultivators. Although the plan succeeded, he still needed to return to the city to oversee things.

If people find out he left, Anzhou City will surely be thrown into chaos.

The two walked and talked.

"Xuan Cang, I saw the Iron Fist Sect members. They're lying in ambush outside the valley. They're definitely after you."

Du Tianfeng had no intention of hiding anything and told Li Xuancang about the Iron Fist Sect, telling him to be more careful in the future.

The Iron Fist Sect dared to ambush him; Li Xuancang felt a chill in his heart, and his killing intent surged.

"Rest assured, my lord, I will be careful and cautious and will not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

Li Xuancang understood Du Tianfeng's reminder immediately.

When the two returned to the valley, the battle was over.

Almost all of the hundreds of evil cultivators were wiped out, with only a handful escaping alive.

Of the five hundred soldiers, more than half were killed in battle, and the rest were all wounded, some even losing limbs and unable to continue serving in the army.

Looking around at the chaotic battlefield, Du Tianfeng ordered, "Xuan Cang, I need to return to the city immediately. You lead the troops back from behind."

The Iron Fist Clan already knew he had left Anzhou City, and he needed to return as quickly as possible to prevent ambitious individuals from causing turmoil.

"My lord, please go ahead, I will follow shortly."

Du Tianfeng's speed exploded, and he disappeared into the valley in the blink of an eye.

"Clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and collect the bodies of fallen soldiers."

Li Xuancang gave the order in a deep voice.

Under the silvery moonlight, in the dead of night, a figure leaped past the patrol and rushed toward the Li residence.

"Let's see how you escape from my grasp this time."

The old man Xuan Yin made his move again. Unlike last time, he was no longer hesitant and wanted to capture Li Ling'er as quickly as possible and then escape Anzhou City.

He moved very fast, and in the blink of an eye he was close to the Li residence, about to leap inside.

"call out!"

Just as he was about to step into the Li residence, a sharp sword aura pierced through the air and arrived.

"not good!"

Sensing danger, Master Xuanyin abruptly stopped and quickly retreated.

He retreated more than 30 meters before looking up at what was ahead.

"Shen Qingshan, it's you again."

Upon seeing who had made the move, the Old Man Xuan Yin was filled with rage and his killing intent surged.

Shen Qingshan had thwarted his plans multiple times, and he could no longer suppress his murderous intent towards Shen Qingshan.

"Old Man Xuanyin, you still haven't given up."

Shen Qingshan stared intently at Xuan Yin Shangren, his killing intent locked onto him. This time, he would not let the old man Xuan Yin escape alive again.

"call out!"

Shen Qingshan brandished his sword, sending several sword energies hurtling towards the Xuan Yin Elder, his figure following closely behind as he charged out with the sword energy.

The old man Xuan Yin desperately wanted to disregard everything and fight Shen Qingshan to the death to vent his hatred.

"This is Anzhou City. If I fight him to the death, it will attract other forces. I should leave first and find a chance to take revenge later."

Reason suppressed his anger, and the Xuan Yin Elder did not act impulsively. He unleashed a few palm strikes and then withdrew.

"It's truly despicable that such a small Li family has caused me to suffer two defeats."

Having suffered two consecutive defeats at the Li residence, the Xuan Yin Elder was furious, but could only flee in terror towards the city gates.

"Don't even think about leaving."

Having finally captured the Xuan Yin Elder, Shen Qingshan was not about to let him go; he pursued him at full speed.

The two chased each other through the night, and soon broke out of the city and engaged in a fierce battle.

Li Xuancang's personal guards heard the commotion, opened the door to check, but found nothing. They could only return to their residence and remain on guard all night.

The next morning, Du Tianfeng returned to the military camp and inspected military discipline, appearing before a large number of soldiers.

He knew there were spies from other forces in the military camp, and he wanted to let them know that he had returned to the camp, so as to deter them from making any rash moves.

Du Tianfeng returned to the city alone, even earlier than the Iron Fist Sect.

After returning to the city, the Iron Fist Sect immediately informed many forces about Du Tianfeng's departure from the city and his schemes against the evil cultivators.

"What? Du Tianfeng actually left the city?"

"Du Tianfeng is quite something, he really has guts."

"What a clever scheme! Not only will they eliminate the heretical cultivators, but they'll also keep us completely in the dark."

"..."

When all the factions learned that Du Tianfeng had left the city, they were shocked; they had all miscalculated.

Everyone thought Du Tianfeng wouldn't dare leave at this point, but he did the opposite, catching everyone off guard.

"Damn it! If I had known sooner, I could have acted immediately."

"Damn it, we missed a golden opportunity."

"The Prince of Fu's men have been wiped out; we are in danger."

"..."

Those forces that had secretly sided with Prince Fu were filled with remorse and regret.

If they had known that Du Tianfeng had left the city, they would have launched an attack long ago and captured Anzhou City. Unfortunately, it's too late now.
