The clanging sound of metal collisions was incessant. Amidst this fierce exchange, Fengyi felt as if his attacks were hitting an impossibly hard wall, unable to move Shi Feiyang in the slightest.

His speed gradually slowed down, his breathing became rapid, and beads of sweat as large as beans rolled down his forehead, his face full of fatigue and despair. The fierce wind outside the pavilion raged, causing the hanging lanterns to sway, casting flickering shadows on everyone present.

Seeing this, Lei Yao let out a furious roar. The "Thunderbolt Fist," with the force of a mighty thunderclap, struck towards Shi Feiyang, its fist wind like thunder, with unparalleled power. Shi Feiyang swiftly turned around, raised his right palm high, and met Lei Yao's punch head-on, with immense power gathered in his palm.

With a loud "bang," akin to a thunderclap on a clear day, the air around them seemed to be instantly evacuated, forming a momentary vacuum. Lei Yao was jolted by this force and flew backward, heavily colliding with a pillar, which immediately cracked in several places, as dust fell. Blood seeped from the corner of Lei Yao's mouth, his eyes filled with fear and unwillingness.

At the same time, a thunderclap sounded overhead, hurting the eardrums of everyone present.

Lin Sen's hands moved rapidly, and countless vines burst from the ground, like a group of green giant pythons, with fangs and claws, tightly winding around Shi Feiyang. Shi Feiyang remained expressionless, as his palms suddenly shook, and the vast power of the "Tathagata Divine Palm" was released instantly. The palm wind swept like a tornado, shattering the vines into countless fragments.

Witnessing his meticulously cultivated vines being so easily destroyed, Lin Sen's eyes widened in shock and despair, almost collapsing to the ground. Even the trees outside the pavilion swayed due to the palm wind, as if mourning Lin Sen's defeat.

Shui Rou wielded the "Jade Water Whip," its shadow surging like tumultuous waves, sweeping towards Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang leaped into the air, skillfully turning like a graceful eagle, executing the "Tathagata Divine Palm," his palm wind transforming into sharp blades, shattering the whip shadows completely. As the tip of the whip was struck by the palm wind, it snapped with a crisp "crack," like breaking branches. Shui Rou's long whip was sent flying, and she staggered backward, finally falling to the ground, her hair disheveled, looking very embarrassed.

Just then, a sudden downpour arrived, the raindrops hitting the roof, the crackling rain blending with the roar of battle, adding tension and intensity to the fight.

Jin Zhan let out an angry roar, unleashing the "Vajra Shattering Star Fist" with unstoppable momentum towards Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang took a deep breath, clasped his palms together, concentrating vigorous True Qi in his palms to face Jin Zhan's punch head-on.

With a loud "thud," the slabs under their feet instantly cracked, the cracks spreading like a spider web in all directions. Jin Zhan was jolted so hard that his feet sank deep into the ground, his knees bending, teetering on the verge of collapse. His arm was in unbearable pain, going numb, his face full of agony and helplessness. Rainwater dripped down from the eaves, forming curtains of water, adding a touch of bleakness to the fierce battle.

Gong Simeng stood aside, clenching her hands so tightly that her nails almost pierced her palms, her eyes fixed intently on Shi Feiyang, full of worry. Whenever Shi Feiyang engaged with the Altars' Masters, her heart would jump to her throat, fearing Shi Feiyang might slip up.

She was well aware of the prowess of the seven Altar Masters of Qingfeng Pavilion, but seeing Shi Feiyang fight with such ease, she felt a surge of inexplicable confidence. When Shi Feiyang was in danger, she couldn't help but gasp softly, covering her mouth with her hands, her body trembling slightly. Yet when Shi Feiyang resolved the crisis, she would unconsciously heave a sigh of relief, her eyes full of relief.

Su Yao stood aside, witnessing this thrilling fight, deeply shocked.

Originally, she just wanted to test Shi Feiyang's strength but didn't anticipate that he would be so formidable, suppressing the seven top experts of Qingfeng Pavilion all by himself. Watching Shi Feiyang's calm demeanor, ripples arose in Su Yao's heart.

She pondered silently, if such a hero and outstanding figure could marry her daughter, Yang Xue'Er, the standing of Qingfeng Pavilion in the Jianghu would be more solid. Once the thought emerged, it quickly took root and grew in her heart, and her eyes began to show a hint of expectation.

After the intense fight, Shi Feiyang remained calm and composed, standing firmly in place, his clothes fluttering, his hair unruffled. The seven Altar Masters of Qingfeng Pavilion, by contrast, were pale, panting heavily, with some slumping on the ground, others leaning against pillars, their eyes full of shock and admiration. At that moment, the sudden downpour stopped, the clouds gradually dispersed, and the sky cleared, the sunlight shining down again, illuminating Shi Feiyang's upright figure, marking a perfect ending to the fierce battle.

Su Yao witnessed all of this, deeply moved, not having anticipated the young Grand Squad Leader would exhibit such remarkable abilities.

She nodded lightly, her eyes revealing a touch of admiration: "Grand Squad Leader Shi's reputation is indeed deserved, his martial arts peerless, I am deeply impressed. As for the cooperation matters, we can discuss them further."

Shi Feiyang replied with a calm smile, clasping his hands: "Master Su overpraises. The purpose of this alliance is to restore peace to the Jianghu, and I will do my utmost." Gong Simeng quickly stepped forward, her eyes glistening with excited tears, and said excitedly: "Brother Shi, you're amazing! I knew you could do it!" Shi Feiyang smiled, gently patted her head, embraced her softly, and replied: "It's all thanks to you, you gave me strength."

Gong Simeng nodded excitedly and suggested to Su Yao: "Master Su, given the current turbulent situation in the Jianghu, the ambitions of the Divine Water Palace are evident. If not curbed in time, the Jianghu will have no peace in the future. Although the Heroic Sakura Association has been baptized by the Changsheng Castle battle, our strength remains robust. By joining forces with Qingfeng Pavilion, we can complement each other. Additionally, Master Zhao of Mist Rain Manor also intends to mediate the disputes. If we can stand united, under Master Zhao's coordination, to confront Divine Water Palace, wouldn't it be a win-win situation?"

Su Yao was stirred internally upon hearing this.

She first looked at Shi Feiyang, then turned to Gong Simeng, finally nodding firmly, and said: "Alright, I agree to ally with you. But I want to make it clear that if the Heroic Sakura Association shows the slightest hint of betrayal, Qingfeng Pavilion will not stand by idly."

Shi Feiyang smiled calmly: "Master Su, rest assured, I always keep my word. The aim of this alliance is to restore peace in the Jianghu."

Thus, the Heroic Sakura Association officially allied with Qingfeng Pavilion.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yifeng from Mist Rain Manor set out, traveling between major forces, committed to mediating disputes.

After returning to Changsheng Castle from Qingfeng Pavilion, Shi Feiyang and Gong Simeng saw the morale of the Heroic Sakura Association soaring to unprecedented heights, and they began intensive preparations for cooperation with various forces. However, the Jianghu is never tranquil, and a new Jianghu storm is brewing quietly. What challenges and opportunities will Shi Feiyang and his Heroic Sakura Association face in this ever-changing situation?
