Shortly thereafter, Dan Chiling had already reached between the two armies.
Sixty zhang away, he saw a large flag with the character ‘Shi’ in front of him.
—This belonged to the Inner City Shi Family, which had risen to power three hundred years ago, slightly stronger than the Long Family.
Carrying two giant cleavers as wide as door panels, Dan Chiling swept into the fray like a hurricane.
Wherever he passed, every life was chopped into pieces by the storm of his blades.
It wasn’t until a few breaths later that a burst of crimson light exploded in front of Dan Chiling.
“Red Light Talisman?”
Dan Chiling’s pupils narrowed as he looked at a figure beneath the crimson light.
—That was Shi Fengguo, the Family Head of the Inner City Shi Family!
Shi Fengguo, with Sixth Grade Cultivation, relied on powerful War Maps and Magic Artifacts to possess combat power comparable to a Fifth Grade!
But today, he was the unlucky one!
Not only did Dan Chiling not slow down, but he actually sped up and lunged toward him.
Shi Fengguo remained unfazed.
Two Fifth Grade combat power Half-demons were nothing!
If he could delay a moment, he could wait for nearby allies to arrive and assist.
Dan Chiling struck with full force, his heavy blade colliding with Shi Fengguo’s sword.
Learning from the lessons of Ghost Cry Gorge, he held nothing back from the start, unleashing the Half-demon’s innate colossal strength in full.
Handling only one sword strike, Shi Fengguo spat blood from his mouth and staggered back several steps.
“Is that all you’ve got!”
Cold light scattered within Shi Fengguo’s pupils.
Confident that with the help of the Shi Family soldiers, he could withstand ten exchanges.
But in the very next instant, he saw three similarly strong figures darting forward from behind Dan Chiling.
Shi Fengguo’s pupils suddenly shrunk to the size of pinpoints.
He wondered what was going on?
Just by looking at the three men’s robust external skills and movement techniques, Shi Fengguo could tell they were formidable.
The problem was how did West Mountain Hall have so many Half-demons with such strong combat power?
Though Shi Fengguo was adept at dodging and evading, he was constrained within the battle formation and couldn’t avoid easily.
Within a single breath, he endured ten sword strikes, sending sparks flying everywhere.
But after ten strikes, he was dismembered by four cleavers slashing from left and right, chopped into more than a dozen pieces.
These chunks of flesh then erupted with raging flames and burned to ashes in just a brief moment.
The four members of the Dan Family swept their eight giant cleavers around, killing all the Shi Family soldiers who had witnessed the battle.
Just an instant later, the four members of the Dan Family took to the air again, charging deeper into the thick fog like four fierce beasts.
They had easily slain two Sixth Grade Martial Cultivators, breaking through the Shi Family Army Formation.
In the dim light, they could faintly see several flags inscribed with the character ‘Sheen’ in front.
Dan Chiling’s eyes sharpened instantly, as he rushed forward without hesitation.
The Sheen Family of the Inner City posed the greatest threat to the Dan Family.
Now, many of the Sheen Family’s businesses and trades had been taken over by the Dan Family.
Thus, from the beginning, Dan Chiling aimed for the Sheen Family’s battle formation.
If the Iron Banner Gang and West Mountain Hall were doomed to perish, then the weaker the Sheen Family, the safer the Dan Family!
As Dan Chiling’s figure collided, a cloud of blood mist drifted from the Sheen Family Army’s formation.
The moment Dan Chiling entered the formation, he met a formidable enemy.
Two short halberds with tremendous Vigorous Force burst out from the crowd, strong enough to clash head-on with Dan Chiling’s mighty strength.
After a few exchanges, Dan Chiling was even forced by dozens of Armor-Piercing Heavy Arrows to retreat more than ten zhang, dodging the arrows.
Simultaneously, he saw the owner of the two short halberds—a middle-aged man resembling Sheen Zhou but with a somewhat wilder demeanor.
“Are you Sheen Zhou’s brother, Sheen Xiu?” Dan Chiling’s pupils flashed with excitement.
Just then, the trio led by Dan Ze had already arrived.
They bypassed Dan Chiling, entering the Sheen Family Army like unstoppable berserk dragons.
Their blade edges exterminated Sheen Family Soldiers within a two-zhang radius, before simultaneously slashing at Sheen Xiu.
Sheen Xiu parried left and right, enduring more than twenty slashes, but as he began to falter and struggle to keep up, Dan Chiling’s heavy blade came crashing down, aiming directly above his brow.
Sheen Xiu’s expression remained cold, showing no concern.
In the next instant, a cyan sword halo zoomed forth, shielding Sheen Xiu from the deadly slice.
Remarkably, it was a Flying Sword, and its wielder was a charming young woman who stood seven zhang away, laughing lightly, “Brother Sheen, you’ll have to remember that you owe me a life-saving favor this time.”
The look on Dan Chiling’s face darkened slightly.
Their advantage lay in quick battles; they couldn’t afford to linger too long in one place, or they’d risk being surrounded and killed by the many masters of Xiushui County’s Inner City.
Just as Dan Chiling was contemplating whether to temporarily retreat and move elsewhere,
He suddenly felt a premonition and looked up above.
Dan Chiling barely made out an indistinct black silhouette overhead.
He felt a chill run down his spine.
In that instant, Dan Chiling felt like a shark hunting in the deep sea that had encountered a giant whale.
The huge shadow surged from behind, overshadowing all the light above him.
No sooner had the thought arisen in Dan Chiling’s mind than the body of Sheen Xiu in front of him exploded with a ‘boom’, bursting into countless specks of blood.
Sheen Xiu’s body was slashed into pieces by several streaks of Sword Energy.
