A Blood-Moving Realm has arrived in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Seeing the Quanzhen disciples approaching with their swords drawn, Zhang Huai's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He had just broken one of the attacking Quanzhen disciples in half with his iron staff when he coldly shouted:

"Your disciples are morally bankrupt, and you elders are even more foolish! Huo Du and Zhao Zhijing's treacherous schemes are right before your eyes, yet you cannot see through them at all. Today, I will use this iron rod to knock a wake-up call to your muddled minds!"

No matter how Zhang Huai cursed, the men ignored him and charged at him with their swords.

Although Zhang Huai was not afraid, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

After all, these people are all renowned seniors in the martial arts world, having lived for decades, and their internal strength must be extremely profound.

Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan, and the other three drew their longswords and stabbed Zhang Huai, Yang Guo, and Xiaolongnu.

Qiu Chuji, being the most skilled among them, moved swiftly and attacked Zhang Huai. Although he knew Zhang Huai was incredibly strong, he relied on his decades of experience in the martial world and was confident that he could defeat a junior.

His long sword flashed with a cold light as it thrust straight at Zhang Huai's face. Zhang Huai neither dodged nor avoided it, but instead swung his iron rod to block it.

A sharp "clang!" rang out, sending sparks flying in all directions.

Qiu Chuji truly lived up to his reputation as the number one figure in the Quanzhen Sect. With his profound internal strength and exquisite Quanzhen swordsmanship, he was able to fight Zhang Huai head-on. However, he could only barely withstand the attack. Even with his internal strength protecting him, he was still shaken so badly that his tiger's mouth hurt and his arm went numb.

Seeing this, the other three immediately abandoned Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu and surrounded Zhang Huai, forming a pincer movement with Qiu Chuji.

Liu Chuxuan's swordplay was cunning, targeting blind spots for attacks; Sun Bu'er combined palm and sword techniques, her palm strikes steady and powerful; Wang Chuyi's moves were fierce and his swordplay expansive.

The Quanzhen Sect's top contemporary fighters all attacked Zhang Huai alone.

The four attacks intertwined, locking Zhang Huai's body tightly in place, leaving no room for escape. The Quanzhen disciples around him also drew their swords and moved closer, pressing him step by step.

Zhang Huai was born with superhuman strength, and his physical body was trained to be as strong as steel. With his diligent practice over the past few days, he had mastered the Mountain-Breaking Staff Technique with great power. As the staff flew, he forcefully blocked the continuous attacks of the four people.

He dared not take the four men's attacks head-on. The four men possessed profound internal strength and were armed with superior weapons. Even with his strong physique, he would likely bleed if he took their attacks head-on.

With a flick of his wrist, the end of his staff swept horizontally, sending two disciples who had come close to attack him flying and crashing heavily into a tree trunk.

However, the other disciples showed no sign of retreating and continued to charge forward, stabbing and slashing. Although they could not harm him in the slightest, they kept him occupied and unable to fully deal with the four Quanzhen disciples.

Seeing this, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu quickly fought off the Quanzhen disciples who were harassing them, and immediately flew forward:

"Brother Huai!"

"Brother Zhang!"

"We're here to help you!"

With the help of Yang and Long, the pressure on Zhang Huai was greatly reduced.

If it weren't for the constant harassment from these Quanzhen disciples, the remaining four old Taoists would have been no match for the three of them.

Upon seeing Xiaolongnu attack, Sun Bu'er immediately abandoned Zhang Huai and thrust his sword straight at Xiaolongnu's heart.

With a flick of her wrist, Xiaolongnu rolled up her sleeve and tightly bound Sun Bu'er's longsword. With a slight exertion, the steel sword was bent and flung away with a "hum," embedding itself in the stone wall beside her.

Sun Bu'er was both shocked and furious. He retreated hastily and picked up a Quanzhen disciple's sword from the ground, thrusting it again. However, Xiaolongnu easily deflected all his attacks.

Seeing that their master was no match, several Quanzhen disciples attacked Xiaolongnu from both sides with their swords. Although their sword strikes were shallow, each move was aimed at vital points. Xiaolongnu did not have the indestructible body of Zhang Huai, so she had to be distracted to defend herself. This gave Sun Bu'er a slight chance to catch his breath. Otherwise, Sun Bu'er would have been killed by Xiaolongnu's sword in less than a hundred moves.

Yang Guo stood to the side, his footwork unpredictable. He used the Quanzhen Sect's lightness skill with extreme agility. He activated the Toad Stance, making a deafening "croak" sound as he weaved and moved among the crowd. His sword moves were provocative and jabbing, deliberately disrupting Wang Chuyi's offensive and forcing him to endure constant harassment.

Since Yang Guo received the inheritance from Master Lü, his skill level has already approached that of Xiaolongnü. Although his Jade Maiden Sword Technique is not as exquisite as Xiaolongnü's, it is more than enough to deal with Wang Chuyi in front of him.

After all, the martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect are inherently superior to those of the Quanzhen Sect.

Wang Chuyi narrowly dodged Yang Guo's sword, but the next wave of attacks was already imminent.

Xiaolongnu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, then flicked her right hand, sending several jade bee needles flying straight towards Wang Chuyi.

With decades of experience in the martial world, Wang Chuyi kept a close eye on his surroundings. When he saw the jade bee needles coming, he hurriedly raised his sword to block them, but he was still a step too slow, and one of the jade bee needles struck his shoulder.

Instantly, half of his body went numb, and his palm strike weakened. He hurriedly raised his hand to seal several acupoints, and his breathing calmed down slightly, but his combat strength had already plummeted.

Seeing that he couldn't break through after a prolonged siege, Qiu Chuji immediately shouted sternly, "Everyone, listen to my command! Form the Big Dipper Formation!"

Upon hearing the sound, Liu Chuxuan, Wang Chuyi, and Sun Bu'er instantly changed their steps. Although the formation was missing three people, it still generated a powerful aura. The four of them connected their auras, forming a unified offense and defense.

The remaining Quanzhen disciples also formed a four-person main formation, with the four of them standing in staggered positions around the perimeter, forming the outer formation of the Big Dipper Formation. They coordinated with the four of them to move around and harass the enemy, advancing and retreating with measured steps.

The situation, which had initially put them at a disadvantage, was instantly turned around, a testament to the exquisite ingenuity of the Big Dipper Formation.

But this grand formation was nothing more than the last glimmer of the Quanzhen Sect's power.

A few frail old men, paired with a group of incompetent disciples, what waves could they possibly make, no matter how exquisite their formation?

Xiaolongnu lived in the Ancient Tomb from a young age, specializing in learning techniques to counter the Quanzhen Sect. She also practiced on the icy jade bed for decades, which gave her extraordinary talent and profound and enduring internal strength. She can be called a heroine of her generation.

Yang Guo's talent surpasses that of Xiaolongnu, and he has been taught unparalleled skills by the reclusive master, Senior Lü, and has also received two-tenths of his power. Even though he has only been cultivating for a short time, his strength is already comparable to others.

Needless to say, Zhang Huai was born with superhuman strength. Although his martial arts skills were somewhat rudimentary, he dared to confront anyone head-on with his indestructible body and explosive power, showing no fear whatsoever.

With a flick of her sleeve, Xiaolongnu unleashed several jade bee needles that shot out, piercing the Quanzhen disciples who were arrayed around her. Several of them were unable to dodge in time and were immediately struck by the needles, losing their ability to fight.

She would occasionally join forces with Yang Guo, their Jade Maiden Sword Technique being exquisite and unparalleled. Amidst the intertwining sword shadows, they would strike directly at the weak points of the formation, forcefully disrupting the formation of the Big Dipper Formation.

The four Quanzhen disciples reacted quickly, immediately adjusting their pace and regaining their formation. However, the disciples on the periphery had already been thrown into chaos and were too busy to help themselves.

Zhang Huai seized this fleeting opportunity, and with immense force, he used his iron rod to strike directly at Qiu Chuji, the key figure in the formation.

Qiu Chuji's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly channeled all his inner strength into his longsword, blocking the attack head-on.

With a crisp "crack," a deep gash appeared on the blade of the longsword. Qiu Chuji's tiger's mouth was shattered, and blood flowed freely. His body was thrown back several meters by the immense force before he finally regained his footing. He felt his blood surging uncontrollably and a metallic taste in his throat.

Seeing this, the disciples outside the formation rushed forward to fill in, but Zhang Huai swept his staff backhand with the end, the force of which was howling. Several disciples were immediately sent flying and fell to the ground motionless.

Zhang Huai couldn't help but sigh with regret. He had no intention of harming these innocent disciples, but the current situation had forced him into this predicament.

If anyone's to blame, it's only these senile old folks.

The Quanzhen Sect's forces were repeatedly defeated by the three, retreating step by step until they were forced to the foot of the stone steps of the main hall of Chongyang Palace.
