Ling Yun hung up the phone and put it away. In the night skies, only his eyes could be seen from his mask. He glanced at Cui Lao and Dugu Mo.

In his heart, Ling Yun thought, Where exactly did Cui Lao get his information from? And why was Dugu Mo indifferent after hearing this, without an ounce of fear revealed in his expression?

What kind of person was Cui Lao, and what backing did Dugu Mo have?

Being stared at so intensely by Ling Yun, Dugu Mo felt a series of goosebumps prick up on his skin. Scratching the back of his head unintentionally, he said, “Oi, why are you looking at me like that?”

Ling Yun said dryly, “I have to say, the opponent has three experts at the Xiantian Realm, how are you not afraid? And there are four people that are at the same level as you, as well as a total of twenty-nine people who are at least at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight. Meanwhile, there’s only the three of us here!”

Dugu Mo chuckled as he said, “So, are you going to save them or not? If you say you’re not going to, I’ll definitely scram as far as I can! Ling Yun, you’ve saved my life before! We’ve been through thick and thin together already, so what if I trudge straight to my death another time?”

With his words, Ling Yun’s agitation immediately faded. At the side, Cui Lao sighed continuously.

Turning his head again, Ling Yun looked at Cui Lao and said, “Cui Lao, I don’t know why you’re helping me like this. But, if it’s a fight to the death tonight, I think it’s better if you...”

Cui Lao laughed aloud and said, “Ling Yun, I’m telling you this only to give you a heads-up. If I was afraid of death, I wouldn’t even be here tonight. Do you get what I mean?”

“Anyway, I’ve been through life-and-death situations like these before. I’ve already lived longer than I thought I would!”

Cui Lao said this proudly, leaving no words for Ling Yun to refute. He reaffirmed that before his mother left, Cui Lao was someone she sent to protect him.

Dugu Mo hurriedly added, “For cultivators like us, leaving our sect to train means that we’re going to go through grueling battles before we find the true meaning of power and increase our levels. If we ran away each time there was a battle, then we wouldn’t be cultivators anymore. We might as well just take eight to ten wives to hug at night and have a good sleep!”

Ling Yun laughed as he said, “Didn’t you say women were tigers? Why are you suddenly talking about taking ten wives now?”

Wrinkling his nose, Dugu Mo laughed proudly. “Even that useless trash, Tian Botao, had dozens of women. Even if I took eight to ten, it wouldn’t be much...”

Ling Yun held back his teasing with Dugu Mo. His gaze turning cold, he said, “Then, we won’t hold back tonight. Even though they outnumber us, it’s within expectations. Each of these experts has their own motives as well. Before they get their hands on the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor’s Book, they definitely won’t want to die!”

“The three of us aren’t only united, but our goals are clear. That is, our goal is to save them. As long as we can save them, we can talk about the rest later! Let’s go!”

With Ling Yun’s last word, he dashed forward first. At his sides, Cui Lao and Dugu Mo followed. The three of them formed a perfect triangle as they sprinted toward the Zhuang Family’s mansion.

“Who’s there?”

The three masked men dressed in dark clothes didn’t hide their traces. Once they arrived at the entrance of the Zhuang Family’s mansion, a person immediately appeared and questioned them. Behind him, four people appeared as well.

“One is a Houtian Realm Level Six, and the four behind him are at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Five!” Cui Lao communicated to them telepathically.

With a cold scoff, Ling Yun quietly used the Yin-Yang harmony balance. With the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability, he appeared in front of the person asking the question and hollered in a deep voice, “The person who will kill you all!” As he finished his words, his fists landed simultaneously!

“Bang!” Before that Houtian Realm Level Six expert could react in time, he flew about thirty meters away, Ling Yun’s Tiangang Demon Fist landing on him. Seven or so of the bones in his sternum were shattered. On impact, his liver and guts were destroyed, and blood spurted as he died on the spot!

Without saying another word, Ling Yun pulled out a handful of steel nails. Casually, he tossed them using the Shower of Flowers Technique. In an instant, the four experts fell to the ground, howling in pain!

Ling Yun’s footsteps didn’t stop. Decisive as an arrow, he advanced forward quickly and headed straight for the mansion. Once his figure touched the ground, he was immediately surrounded by people who rushed out of the nearby forest.

Strangely, these seven people were also in stealth clothes, their faces covered by a mask. It seemed that nobody wanted to expose their faces in the city.

“Two people at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight!” Cui Lao and Dugu Mo quickly surged forward as he reminded Ling Yun once again!

For Cui Lao, nothing else was more important than protecting the Ling Family’s Young Master, Ling Yun! That was his only mission!

Actually, for Ling Yun, who had already attained Physical Tempering Stage Five, as long as he didn’t have to handle an expert that was at the Xiantian Realm, Ling Yun could easily see where their abilities were and didn’t need Cui Lao’s reminders.

With the moon hanging high in the sky, Ling Yun used the Stellar Condensation Technique continuously. Bright moonlight shone on Ling Yun’s body, making him stand out in the night.

“Bang, bang!” This time, Ling Yun didn’t hold back as much. With both of his fists swinging out, his left palm contained Yin Qi, and right palm carried Yang Qi. He casually threw his fists at each of those two people at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight!

Those two people at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight didn’t know what was coming at them. They daringly chose to take the fists head-on! With a loud crack, the two men’s palms broke simultaneously. They howled in pain at the same time, and their bodies flew back as they were pummelled!

Killing intent radiated from Ling Yun’s eyes, and even though these two people were heavily injured, he didn’t let them off. Tossing out another handful of steel nails, they instantly pierced the vitals of their bodies. By the time they landed on the ground, they were already dead and no longer breathing!

Ling Yun meant what he said. Tonight, he really intended to start a huge massacre. In ten steps, he took a person down, leaving no traces in his path!

Out of the three, Ling Yun’s realm was the lowest, but his abilities were also the strongest. So, whenever he made a move, he targeted the strongest enemy directly.

When the two Houtian Realm Level Eight experts finally reached the ground, the battle around Ling Yun had already ended. Cui Lao took on three enemies, and Dugu Mo fatally injured two people. Even though those five people didn’t die yet, they lost all of their battle power.

“Who are you, and how dare you infiltrate the Sun Family’s grounds?” Three enemies in front of them rushed forward, and the foremost person asked this while shouting!

“Houtian Realm Level Nine!” Without even waiting for that person to land, he scoffed at him coldly. With a quick step, he used his Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to soar into the sky, confronting that Houtian Realm Level Nine expert head-on!

“Gah...” That Houtian Realm Level Nine expert was shocked beyond words. He couldn’t help but wonder who fought like that. But with his body in the air, he had no bearings to gather any power. Hence, he could only increase his fighting abilities to their limits as he met two fierce blows from Ling Yun head-on!

This time, Ling Yun didn’t use any abilities. Extending two arms out, he grabbed onto the wrists of the expert and pulled him aggressively. The two men’s bodies crashed harshly into each other!

“Gah!” After the Houtian Realm Level Nine expert was collided into, he felt as though he had crashed straight into a human meteorite that had fallen thousands of meters from the sky!

The Houtian Realm Level Nine expert was knocked into so aggressively that he felt his body crumple as he began bleeding internally. Then, while both of his wrists were gripped tightly by Ling Yun, he was ruthlessly smashed into the ground!

“Chk chk...” Two steel nails simultaneously lodged themselves into the Houtian Realm Level Nine expert’s eyes. Because Ling Yun used too much strength, they directly pierced through his skull, drilling into the concrete road!

At this point, Dugu Mo and Cui Lao rushed forward simultaneously to help fend off the two Houtian Realm Level Eight experts. Even though they had the upper hand, they couldn’t end the battle.

Ling Yun saw that more people had come forward again. He knew that it wasn’t time to stay and fight. Thus, he casually pulled out the Devil’s Blade as he used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability and the “Clam Waterspout” on each of them!

The two Houtian Realm Level Eight experts were currently in battle. All of a sudden, they felt their bodies become lighter. At the same time, they looked down in shock and saw their legs being sliced off by Ling Yun’s blade. On the floor, there were four legs spouting blood non-stop!

With a flash of his body, Ling Yun swung his Devil’s Blade lightly once again. In another stroke, he cut off both of their heads, ending their pain and misery!

When Ling Yun decided to kill, his gaze held no trace of sympathy, much less any form of restraint. There was purely killing intent, cold-blooded and ruthless!

Right now, he only had one thought, and that was to save them. Zhuang Meifeng and Tang Tianhao needed to be saved. A god would have turned into a devil, and a monk would have turned to a grim reaper!

“This is...” Cui Lao saw the jet-black blade that Ling Yun had pulled out of space. In complete shock, he was unable to say a single word.

“Let’s go!” Ling Yun finally unsheathed his blade, turning to fight the eight people that began launching an attack on him!

“It’s you!” Rushing forward, Ling Yun went straight for the fastest expert, seeing that he had cultivated his level to the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine!

With his invigorating shout, he leaped toward the skies as though he were an arrow. With both hands clutching onto the Devil’s Blade, he used his “Raging Sky” technique and swung his blade down at his enemy!

“Watch out!”

“Watch out!”

Both sides individually shouted to be careful at the same time. The first shout was from Cui Lao, and the second was from the Sun Family’s expert.

Of the eight people, three of them had tossed a strangely-shaped weapon at Ling Yun. This forced Ling Yun to break his stance mid-air, deflecting those three projectiles away from himself. As for the other weapons that hit his body, Ling Yun couldn’t care less about those!

“Ding... Ring...” After a series of metals clinking against each other resounded, all of the people at the scene saw that Ling Yun was completely unharmed, as if he didn’t take any damage at all. Someone couldn’t help but shout, “Not good, he’s wearing Golden Silk Armor!”

The expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine laughed carelessly as he raised his sixty-pound Golden Mountain Blade, swinging it viciously toward Ling Yun’s single-handed Devil’s Blade!

This expert was very confident because his blade’s core was made with black rhodium. If one were to take it out to sell, they would be able to afford a large mansion. Hence, he wasn’t afraid at all.

However, this time, he overestimated himself!

“Sha...” As though his Golden Mountain Blade was as soft as tofu, the Devil’s Blade sliced through it, cutting it in half. Without missing a beat, the Devil’s Blade didn’t stop its momentum and instead seemed to become even faster. With the thunder and the sound of the wind, the Devil’s Blade rushed towards his head!

With an “oof” sound, the jet-black blade had already arrived in front of his face, bringing a chilling freeze with it.

“Ah!” Shocked to the point of reaching insanity, the Houtian Realm Level Nine expert cried out miserably!

With there being nothing else he could do, he reflexively lifted up both of his hands. At the same time, he used all of his energy to turn his head and body, hoping to escape Ling Yun’s earth-shattering slash!

“Ugh!” Unintentionally, his entire arm was sliced off by Ling Yun. In an instant, he was no longer in the form of a human as flesh and blood spurted about!

When Ling Yun landed on the ground, he swung his blade once more!

“Die!”

Ling Yun began his massacre, killing people as though he was cutting grass!
