Zhao Fengxian’s heart sank.

“Do you know what’s going on here?” Huang Xinghai asked on his behalf.

“Of course.”

The tall and thin man chuckled. “What Yue Dongliu left behind back then wasn’t an legacy or any powerful treasure!”

“What is it then?” Gu Zhanlin growled.

“You don’t need to know what it is.” The lanky man’s hawk-like gaze swept across Su Jingxing, Bu Qing, and the rest. He smiled and said, “I’ve said all that I need to say. Now, it’s time for you to make a decision. Are you going to leave or not?”

“Tm leaving!”

A glint flashed across Huang Xinghai’s eyes. His figure moved, rushing towards the entrance they had come from.

“What you want to do has nothing to do with me!”

“Excellent.”

The tall and thin man clapped lightly and scanned the remaining people. “What about you guys?”

Pu Mingyue did not move.

Bu Qing didn’t move either.

Nor did Lu Wuchang.

Gu Zhanlin and Fan Qi followed Zhao Fengxian’s lead.

Since Zhao Fengxian hadn’t moved, they naturally wouldn’t leave.

Seeing this, Su Jingxing remained where he was and kept silent.

This was clearly not a legacy ground, yet Ghost Ride had come. Furthermore, a dozen of their members came in one go. Clearly, they had ulterior motives.

Su Jingxing wanted to see what they were up to.

Huang Xinghai was afraid of death, so it was expected that he would leave early.

None of the remaining seven people left, giving Su Jingxing confidence.

With seven people joining forces, even if Zhao Fengxian was injured and could only use half of his strength, it would be enough to make the tall, thin man wary.

After all, so far, no one had used any trump cards.

Zhao Fengxian hated Xia Zhilan and wanted to use his, but using his killer move when he was poisoned would affect him and might cause too much trouble in the future.

Similarly, the lanky man and company did not come to the underground palace to fight.

They had their own clear goals.

“None of you are leaving huh?”

In the silence, the tall and thin man broke the silence. His hawk-like gaze was cold.

The comers of his lips remained curled up as he said with a smile, “Since you’re not leaving, then stay. If you regret it later and can’t leave, don’t complain that I didn’t war everyone.”

With that, he waved his hand and ordered, “Tiger, Old Ma, Buffalo… The few of you, stay here and keep our friends company. The rest of you, get to work!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

As soon as the lanky man finished his sentence, the dozen or so people behind and beside him quickly split into two groups. One group moved towards Su Jingxing, Lu Wuchang, and the others, while the other pounced towards Yue Dongliu’s body.

Hu~

Swish!

Clang!

Saber energy, sword energy, long whips, staff shadows, giant axes, tiger claws.

‘The true energy transformed from true essence carried all kinds of attacks and landed on the energy barrier that surrounded Yue Dongliu’s body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom!

Thunderous explosions echoed non-stop.

All sorts of lethal moves, accompanied with Martial Art True Intents, collided madly with the energy barrier.

A chaotic force burst forth and shot everywhere.

‘The materialized shockwaves swept through the underground space again and again.

Everywhere they passed, the ground cracked, dust flew, and rocks were thrown into the air.

The tall and thin man in the lead manifested his Martial Art True Intent, a saber with a long handle and slashed at the floating full moon.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Whoosh!

Energy surged and light shot out.

With every slash by tall and thin man, the full moon, the Martial Art True Intent that had separated from Yue Dongliu when he was alive would tremble a little, and the dazzling barrier would dim a little.

Thump!

Whoosh!

Thump!

Whoosh!

“What are they doing? Do they want Yue Dongliu’s corpse?” Gu Zhanlin frowned and muttered.

“What treasures are on Yue Dongliu’s corpse?” echoed Fan Qi.

“If there is a treasure, given the frequency of their attacks, the treasure will also be damaged as they break the energy barrier,” said Bu Qing in a low voice.

“No,” said Lu Wuchang blankly.

“What’s wrong?” Pu Mingyue was puzzled.

“Lu Wuchang, what did your intuition sense?” Zhao Fengxian turned his head and frowned at Lu Wuchang.

“There is indeed something wrong.” Su Jingxing frowned slightly.

Su Jingxing didn’t know what Lu Wuchang sensed.

However, due to his powerful soul power, Su Jingxing’s intuition was also extraordinary.

A martial artist’s sixth sense was more outstanding than ordinary people.

Such intuition was even more effective on Su Jingxing.

Especially at this moment, as the Ghost Ride members were frantically attacking Yue Dongliu’s energy barrier and Martial Art True Intent, an ominous feeling suddenly struck his heart.

“Danger!”

Lu Wuchang suddenly shouted, “Make them stop! We can’t break the energy barrier!”

Swoosh!

Bang!

The seven Ghost Ride members who were blocking in front of Su Jingxing and the others suddenly made their moves and pounced over.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom! Boom!

Seven against seven, the two groups of people were engaged on the spot.

‘True energy formed from true essence danced and wreaked havoc, slicing through the ground and leaving behind traces.

The stirred air became chaotic, and the air waves that lifted condensed into a shockwave that swept through the underground space.

“You can’t break the energy barrier!”

Lu Wuchang waved his fan and shouted anxiously, “Once the energy barrier is broken, there will be great danger! Great danger that were bring crises to Qinghe and the Changyang Prefecture!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In his haste, he used all his strength and only took three moves to defeat the third-grade expert from Ghost Ride who had intercepted him.

Then, with a flash, he pounced at the tall, thin man.

Bang!

Zhao Fengxian also sent a second-grade expert from Ghost Ride flying with a single hammer strike. Then, with a pale face, he rushed towards the tall and thin man.

Boom!

Su Jingxing mobilized 500 years of his true energy cultivation and executed the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist, stacking more than 20 times of its power to meet the massive palm imprint of a third-grade expert of Ghost Ride head-on.

In the end, with an explosion, the third-grade expert’s palm imprint shattered and dissipated on the spot. Then, his entire arm burst into a bloody mist. With cracking sounds, his bones broke, and he couldn’t help but retreat.

In one breath, he retreated more than ten meters before spitting out a mouthful of blood. He fell back and forcefully pulled himself forward. He squatted on the ground, his face pale.

Swish!

After defeating his opponent, Su Jingxing’s figure flashed and charged at the thin man like Lu Wuchang and Zhao Fengxian.

Swoosh!

Ared vine pierced through the air and attacked Su Jingxing from the side.

Acold and sinister aura locked onto Su Jingxing like a venomous snake revealing its cold fangs.

“Get lost!”

Su Jingxing shouted angrily. He mobilized 600 years of true energy cultivation and threw a punch.

Roar!

Asilvery-black fist imprint with a scorching aura condensed at lightning speed and collided with the red vine.

With a strange sound, the red vine trembled before dissipating into nothingness.

However, the silvery-black fist imprint did not disappear. It continued to carry a terrifying fist aura as it swept towards Xia Zhilan, who could not dodge in time.

Bam!

Energy surged.

Ripples appeared on the surface of Xia Zhilan’s true essence. She, who had forcefully received this punch, swiftly retreated.

‘When she stopped, her calves trembled slightly and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth!
