A shadow suddenly appeared from the curtain of rain.

It was standing in mid-air in front of Yu Rong, as if there was something on it that deterred the flying rain.

At that critical moment, an orange-yellow glow arose from its body, not thick, yet it gave off an indestructible feeling. It stood in front of Yu Rong, reaching out a hand to grab the black arrow.

"Young man, you have some skills, but unfortunately, this arrow is nothing to an Innate..."

Bam!

The Black Horseshoe Crab Arrow seemed like an Angry Dragon.

In an instant, it emitted a series of explosive sounds in the air, as if the air had been blasted open.

The black-clad man's face changed dramatically, the fascia and Qi Force of his arm surging rapidly, layers of golden Qi Force quickly stacking on his body, gathering, and in the blink of an eye, his arm swelled to an unimaginable extent.

The Qi Force belonging to an Innate Expert clashed with the power on the Black Horseshoe Crab Arrow in mid-air, squeezing, colliding, and exploding!

The force distorted the black-clad man's arm in a strange way, and he finally let go.

The black arrow, without the slightest pause, dashed toward Yu Rong like a rainbow piercing the sun!

Bam!

Yu Rong's left arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

He let out a violent scream.

The Black Horseshoe Crab Arrow finally exhausted its momentum.

He held his hand behind him, which had just caught the arrow, and looked at Xu Guang calmly.

"Young man, how is it?"

Xu Guang: ...

Why don't you check on Yu Rong and look at your own hand before playing cool?

He calmed his Inner Breath, and under the slightly changing gaze of the black-clad man, he took out three Black Horseshoe Crab Arrows.

"Impressive, what about those three arrows?"

The black-clad man's expression slightly changed, no longer as calm and casual as before, suddenly dodging horizontally in the air, "Looking for death!"

"Have the two of you heard of Wei Shuangnian?"

Xu Guang suddenly spoke.

The two did not answer, but Xu Guang could see something unusual in their eyes.

He confirmed some of his suspicions.

"Facing death, and still stalling!? Sensible ones would let your Great Beast move the boulder far away, otherwise..."

Xu Guang's smile grew brighter, "Mr. Yu, do you know why you were chased down by people from Jiufeng Mountain?"

"Is it you?"

Yu Rong's expression suddenly changed.

A moment of probing confirmed for Xu Guang that Shen Muyu and the Wine Daoist were truly from Jiufeng Mountain.

Thinking of the clues he left behind earlier, he was in no rush anymore.

"Didn't you say yourself that you were from Jiufeng Mountain? Xu Mou just wanted to help you reunite with your fellow disciples."

"Junior brother, stop talking nonsense with him, act quickly and kill him."

Xu Guang's expression slightly changed, one Half-Step Innate, one Innate...

An unprecedentedly formidable enemy.

General Wei's long nose swept across, striking a wolf-like Demon Beast, which was instantly lifted into the air, letting out a whimpering sound, its internal organs and blood splattering down.

The black-clad man snorted coldly, exchanged a glance with Yu Rong, and was about to brutally kill Xu Guang.

General Wei's nose tilted skyward, compressed, and then suddenly snapped out.

Something resembling an air cannon blasted straight at the black-clad man.

The black-clad man dodged away at an extremely fast speed, appearing beside General Wei like a phantom, his two fingers joined together resembling an extremely sharp sword.

Easily breaking through General Wei's defenses!

Splurt!

Blood poured continuously!

General Wei roared in anger, his massive body turning, driving boundless force to smash down on the black-clad man.

The black-clad man's expression changed drastically.

He did not expect the Great Beast to turn so quickly.

General Wei's movement speed was lacking, but his reflex speed in a positional battle was not.

The black-clad man attempting to bypass General Wei and attack Xu Guang would not be so easy now.

Xu Guang suddenly spoke again, this time with a slightly serious expression.

"Aren't you curious why I'm not running away?"

Yu Rong suddenly thought of something, "You..."

Suddenly, the two noticed that a strong aura seemed to be reverberating above the valley, that was… an Innate!

Damn it!

This brat must have left clues for the people from Jiufeng Mountain.

He knew people from Jiufeng Mountain?

To have been toyed with by a mere nobody.

The black-clad man felt unwilling, and Yu Rong felt the same, reluctantly glancing at the distant meteorite.

They knew that with General Wei here, they couldn't kill Xu Guang, and once they got stalled...

Considering this, they dared not linger and fled swiftly.

...

Watching their backs, Xu Guang chuckled scornfully.

"Ah Wei, do you think these two clowns can escape this time?"

General Wei let out a low howl, finding Xu Guang's smile to be somewhat sinister at this moment.

Yet, it didn't know why, it only remembered being hit by those two, which hurt a bit.

The wound inflicted by the black-clad assailant stopped bleeding once General Wei dispersed the Qi Force surrounding it. Given its extraordinary healing ability, it was almost healed by now.

"Rest assured, the loss you suffered won't be in vain."

Without Yu Rong and the black-clad assailant, none of the demon beasts before General Wei were his match.

Just as they exited the valley, they saw four figures frantically pursuing each other in the distance.

Xu Guang's lips curled into a smile.

...

An Innate Expert could nurture Primordial Qi, intertwining their Blood Qi with the Primordial Qi to form Qi Force that could emanate from the body, displaying legendary techniques akin to Sword Qi and Blade Qi.

In a rugged, mountainous forest, Yu Rong and the black-clad assailant were caught by Shen Muyu and his companion.

"Ding Rong, you really are a swift runner."

The old man with the wine pot took a swig, casually regarding the two.

For him, these two were like mice; hard to catch if they escaped, but if they met him...

Upon seeing the two, Yu Rong's face drastically changed. He couldn't fathom how they had tracked him in this vast forest when his mysterious intuition kept warning him, and he had been constantly on the move. Was it Shen Muyu's compass from the Feng Shui Master?

Impossible. He had spent enough time on Jiufeng Mountain to know that compass only revealed general directions, yet Shen Muyu they seemed to know his exact movements.

"Senior Brother, it's the Wine Daoist from Jiufeng Mountain!"

Hearing the mention of the name, the black-clad assailant's face paled, turning to Yu Rong with a gloomy expression.

"Why didn't you say it was the Wine Daoist earlier?"

"Senior Brother, this is not the time to dwell on that."

The black-clad man's gaze was as dark as water. "You need to distract him, otherwise..."

Yu Rong hurriedly said, "Alright, Senior Brother, you go quickly, find the Master for help."

"We'll split up."

Moments later.

"Why are you following me? Go distract the Wine Daoist!"

"Senior Brother, you and I together can kill the Wine Daoist."

Black-clad man: ...

As the wine-pot-shaped Palm Seal crashed down from the sky, the black-clad man shot a resentful glance at Yu Rong and suddenly changed direction.

The Wine Daoist glanced lightly at Yu Rong, pointing into the air.

Golden Qi Force split open, transforming into a Palm Seal that flew towards Yu Rong.

Yu Rong cried out in pain as he fell to the ground.

Luckily, the Wine Daoist continued pursuing the black-clad man.

...

The mountain winds howled like ghosts wailing in accompaniment to the thick mountain atmosphere, giving the entire mountain range an eerie, hallucinatory feel.

"Shen Muyu! Must you really wipe us out? I have never done anything evil on Jiufeng Mountain, why are you relentlessly pursuing me?"

Shen Muyu wielded a three-foot-long sword, watching Yu Rong leap between the trees like a nimble monkey.

She remained silent, solely focused on the pursuit.

The Wine Daoist had told her, when you encounter a demon from the Demon Sect like Yu Rong, don't speak a word; kill if you can, flee if you can't.

Shen Muyu finally had a chance to leave the mountain, and she wouldn't give Yu Rong any opportunity.

Though Yu Rong was somewhat angry, he stayed calm,

Suddenly, Yu Rong stepped back, revealing a Spirit Crystal in his hand, a trace of pain in his eyes as he threw it.

A storm of frost burst around Shen Muyu.

Shen Muyu was instantly blown backwards.

The strange frost carried a terrifying power, rampaging across her body.

Shen Muyu's face changed drastically; she hadn't expected Yu Rong to have such means in this situation.

Yu Rong's face turned grim, eyes fierce, "Shen Muyu, you're the one seeking to kill me—on the Yellow Springs road, don't hold a grudge against me!"

Shen Muyu's long sword danced in hand as she formed seals, her sword blazing with Blood Qi.

But the injuries from the frost Yu Rong unleashed suddenly flared within her, causing her to involuntarily moan and stagger backwards.

Yu Rong's fierce look and murderous intent were evident.

Just…

As he was about to finish Shen Muyu off,

A strange roar echoed through the forest.

He recognized it as the voice of the Kunlun Beast.

Gazing through the dense forest, he could vaguely see a gigantic silhouette moving.

Suddenly!

Yu Rong's expression drastically changed; he felt as if he was locked onto by some overwhelming terror.

That was...

The formidable killing intent interwoven by heaven and earth.

He's going to die!

What is it?

Instinctively, his eyes darted around while his feet moved rapidly.

Whoosh!

A black arrow, appearing from nowhere, was upon him in an instant!

That arrow, wrapped in mountain mist, formed a dragon shape in the air.

One arrow… Fallen Dragon!

"Xu Guang!!!"
