    the battle in the sky reached its most intense moment.

    The Dragon and Tiger intertwined and merged, arrows and Battle Halberds were unleashed in a continuous flow, forcing the concealed expert to reveal his true form.

    Dressed in dark Soft Armor like Dragon Scales, he grasped a slender sword in one hand, and a dark golden face mask concealed his features.

    He swung his sword down in a cleave.

    The owl flapped its wings and cried out, whipping up a black wind.

    The Primordial Qi of both the Dragon and Tiger were torn asunder, forcing Yue Qianfeng and Xue Daoyong to evade.

    Upon seeing the imposing dark gold mask, Yue Qianfeng burst with great anger, “Chengying Sword, Black Dragon Coiled Body Armor, and the heavy gold face mask worn by the Taiping Duke when he swept across the Western Regions, how could they be in the hands of someone as despicable as you?!”

    Clad in Treasure Armor and wielding a Divine Weapon ranked among the top ten for assassination,

    Xue Daoyong’s eyes brimmed with a cold murderous intent.

    A Martial Artist of the Dharma Form realm, clad in Black Dragon Armor that concealed his Qi Mechanism and wielding the elusive Chengying Sword,

    this Assassin coming close to him, and striking fiercely...

    The White Tiger moved through the void as the old man laughed and said, “Good.”

    “Ranked tenth among the world’s Assassins, Situ Deqing, with the third-ranked assassination Divine Weapon, the Chengying Sword.”

    “The old man’s life is indeed precious.”

    “I even want to buy it myself.”

    Before the words had even faded, the White Tiger roared, and arrows shot out like light, crazily firing towards the other party.

    Situ Deqing’s icy gaze swept across the youths fleeing the battlefield through the woods, his brow furrowing ever so slightly.

    That youth’s face seemed faintly familiar.

    Why did he feel that slight palpitation?!

    Instinctively, he raised his hand and touched the mask on his face.

    A sense of innate irritation and murderous intent towards that youth rose within him.

    Raising his hand, more than a dozen figures burst forth from within the forest.

    Some held arm crossbows forged from black gold and nets of gold designed to counter the Martial Dharma Forms of Martial Artists, adorned with Taoist talismans, Buddhist relics, and Confucian literary artifacts, soaring into the air.

    Others leaped like meteorites, faster than galloping horses, lunging toward Li Guanyi, as the old man in the sky suddenly drew his bow, releasing a hundred rays of golden light when the bowstring snapped.

    The golden radiance roared down, intercepting the Assassins pursuing Li Guanyi, exploding craters in the ground.

    Yue Qianfeng raised his hand, and a red dragon roared in the sky, suddenly opening its mouth wide.

    The dragon consumed the sea, pulling back almost all of the Assassins.

    He clenched his left hand, and a conflux of red firelight gathered, followed by a fierce punch.

    The red firelight fell upon the earth like a great sun.

    With one punch, he burned out the Primordial Qi within a thirty-mile radius.

    He forcibly suppressed all the various applications of Inner Qi that the Martial Artists were capable of when it was externalized from the body.

    Before, they could soar swiftly through the air, fast as horses, but now they were abruptly slowed.

    Just as they were nearly upon Li Guanyi, they were once again thrown back a distance.

    Xue Daoyong bellowed, “Back to the city!!!”

    Yue Qianfeng also shouted, “Don’t look back, charge forward!”

    Situ Deqing sneered, “You should worry about yourselves instead.

    Without your Divine Weapon and Treasure Armor, after battling fiercely for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, how much energy will you two have left?” The owl flapped its wings, echoing thunder, as the other Assassins mainly relied on the treasures of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism to suppress the Qi Mechanism of the two supreme Martial Artists.

    Li Guanyi galloped on his horse, and after Entering Realm, the bronze tripod vibrated wildly.

    The struggle between Yue Qianfeng and Xue Daoyong caused their Dragon and Tiger Dharma Forms to unfold completely.

    The bronze tripod buzzed as Jade Liquid began accumulating at an astonishing rate.

    According to Li Guanyi’s ‘research’ into the bronze tripod, each recognized Dharma Form could be considered a significant progress bar, with the Divine Charm being absorbed and turned into Jade Liquid related to Li Guanyi’s realm.

    Approximately, it meant that the lower Li Guanyi’s realm, the less power the bronze tripod could draw.

    Now that Li Guanyi had Entered Realm,

    the bronze tripod also elevated, allowing it to capture more Divine Charm and convert it into Jade Liquid.

    The Jade Liquid from the Dragon and Tiger Dharma Forms flowed copiously into the tripod.

    Due to Yue Qianfeng and Xue Daoyong fighting with all their strength, the Jade Liquid was filling up almost at a visible rate.

    It was at this moment when Li Guanyi heard the sound of the wind at his ear, he hung his bow on the horse, and took hold of the long spear hooked beside him.

    Without looking,

    he flicked his wrist, sweeping the spear sideways.

    The spear’s blade became a flash of cold light that suddenly collided with a short sword.

    The weight of the spear, combined with the momentum of the charging horse, exploded in a burst of sparks upon impact.

    Li Guanyi’s palm throbbed with pain, while the Assassin who clashed with him was repelled and landed on a tree.

    Li Guanyi remained calm, having achieved his goal, it was now time to extricate himself.

    The third party’s forces could not possibly be fighting alone.

    Li Guanyi had known this ever since Yue Qianfeng first instructed him.

    Yue Qianfeng punched and scattered the surrounding Primordial Qi, requiring time for the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to recover.

    The portion that recovered was instantly consumed by the fighting among the three, leaving the Assassins pursuing Li Guanyi, who were originally above the Entering Realm and of no low level, no choice but to display strength similar to below the Entering Realm.

    Many aspects of their exquisite Sword Qi and Sword Light, as well as their mysterious techniques, were all suppressed.

    Like cooking without rice or water without a source, they were unable to utilize them.

    Yet even so, they were not worried about the pursuit of Li Guanyi, who had ruined their plans.

    After all, he was just a youth, and not everyone was like Xiao Wuliang who could charge into battle at the age of thirteen.

    Even without their mysterious techniques, their physical strength and combat experience were not things a mere youth could contend with.
