"Hmph, stop pretending. If it wasn't you, then who else could it be?!"

Xue Wuchuan snorted coldly, releasing his right hand, allowing Night Traveler's bloodied corpse to fall to the ground, then his cold gaze turned towards Bai Junlong.

"Haha, Xue Wuchuan, I must say, your skill in shifting blame is exceptional. If you were in the Mortal Realm, you might even win an academy award for a mortal actor."

Bai Junlong examined Xue Wuchuan for a moment, then his lips curled into a mocking smile.

The Blood Eagle Sect must have found out about my plan to act against them, so they stole that piece of Spirit Jade last night. By now, they might have already taken advantage of the darkness to transport it back to their sect.

"Enough chatter, hand over the Demon Beast Egg, or I'll make sure you die today!"

Around Xue Wuchuan, Blood Evil Qi swirled, and his eyes, suffused with this qi, fixed upon Bai Junlong with a bloody gaze.

In the room nearby, ten figures flashed out, blocking Bai Junlong and his group's escape route.

The leader was the Blood Clothes elder who stood beside Xue Wuchuan, while the other nine were men dressed in blood-red close-fitting outfits, with a crying blood-red eagle embroidered over their chests.

"I didn't expect you to bring so many Blood Armor Guards."

Bai Junlong's gaze narrowed, his expression changing slightly.

The Blood Armor Guards were a special group of Death Warriors cultivated by the Blood Eagle Sect, completely willing to perish alongside their enemies if necessary.

"Hmph, weren't you planning to ambush me in Luofeng Valley? In that case, why don't I send you on your way first?"

Xue Wuchuan chuckled coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"This is Danfeng City, do you dare make a move here?"

Bai Junlong frowned, saying.

The controller of Danfeng City is the ancient Nangong Clan, even at the peak of their power, the Blood Eagle Sect wouldn't dare provoke them. Fighting is prohibited within the city.

Hearing this, Xue Wuchuan's expression turned slightly grim. Clearly, he was very wary of the Nangong Clan, but he quickly said coldly, "To deal with a thief who stole a Demon Beast Egg worth eighty thousand Violent Dragon Pills from me, I'm sure the City Lord will understand. If necessary, the Blood Eagle Sect will just have to pay some price."

"You stole our Spirit Jade and yet brazenly accuse us of stealing your Demon Beast Egg. Do you think the City Lord will believe you then?"

Bai Junlong laughed in anger.

"Stole your Spirit Jade?"

Xue Wuchuan frowned, faintly sensing something was amiss, but now was no time for hesitation.

No matter what, he must bury Bai Junlong and his group here today!

The death of a Young Sect Leader and two Earth Tier experts would certainly strike a significant blow to the Celestial Dragon Sect, making them think twice about contesting resources with the Blood Eagle Sect again.

"Kill!"

Blood Qi swirled around Xue Wuchuan as he shouted loudly.

Swish!

With those words, Xue Wuchuan donned a pair of bloodsteel claws and attacked Bai Junlong first, the sharp claws aimed directly at Bai Junlong's throat.

At the same time, the emaciated elder in Blood Clothes also moved in to attack Bai Junlong from behind.

"Young Sect Leader, you go first. I and Second Brother will hold them off."

Qingsong shouted fiercely.

Saying this, Qingsong and Qing Bai's figures flashed explosively, intercepting Xue Wuchuan and the Blood Clothes elder, respectively.

Bam, bam, bam!

A total of four Earth Tier experts clashed in an instant, their Inner Power surging, reducing many of the courtyard's flowers and plants to dust.

Seeing this, Bai Junlong gritted his teeth and ran towards the courtyard's exit.

Swish, swish, swish!

Those nine Blood Armor Guards were not slow, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Bai Junlong.

Out of the nine, three wielded blood-colored long swords, three used blood-colored flying claws, and three brandished blood-colored long spears.

Swish!

One Blood Armor Guard swung, sending a blood-colored flying claw straight toward Bai Junlong's face.

Bai Junlong's expression darkened as a golden dagger slipped from his sleeve into his hand, deflecting the blood-colored flying claw.

Sword, flying claw, and long spear — all three kinds of weapons attacked Bai Junlong, with the nine Blood Armor Guards coordinating seamlessly, their Blood Qi surging.

Despite being a Late Stage Profound Tier expert, Bai Junlong found himself in dire straits, barely able to dodge the attacks of the nine Blood Armor Guards.

Whoosh!

A Blood Armor Guard's long spear thrust forward like a venomous dragon, aiming straight for Bai Junlong's forehead.

Bai Junlong's expression changed, dodging aside and grabbing the spear shaft, his golden dagger stabbing fiercely at the Blood Armor Guard's throat.

At this moment, two blood-colored flying claws simultaneously grasped Bai Junlong's shoulders, piercing deeply into his flesh, making deep wounds from which blood seeped through his clothes.

Bam!

The two Blood Armor Guards pulled hard, sending Bai Junlong flying before he crashed heavily to the ground.

Swish, swish, swish!

Simultaneously, three long spears stabbed at the fallen Bai Junlong.

Bai Junlong dodged two of the spears, but the third spear mercilessly pierced through his left shoulder, blood spraying out.

"Young Sect Leader!"

The short and stout Elder Qing Bai's expression changed drastically as he shouted.

At the same time, golden light erupted from his hands, forming a Golden Dragon Pattern Sword between them.

"Golden Dragon Sword Slash!"

Elder Qing Bai shouted fiercely as the sword slashed towards the Blood Clothes elder.

Boom!

The Blood Clothes elder dodged, evading the Golden Dragon Pattern Sword, whose sharp Sword Qi cleaved a rockery in two, causing it to collapse.

Taking advantage of the Blood Clothes elder's evasion, Elder Qing Bai swiftly moved to rescue Bai Junlong, picking him up quickly.

"Big Brother, let's go!"

Qing Bai shouted to Elder Qingsong, who was locked in fierce combat with Xue Wuchuan.

Upon seeing Bai Junlong injured, Elder Qingsong's face also became grim. He used a Wind Dragon Finger to temporarily repel Xue Wuchuan before rejoining Qing Bai and Bai Junlong.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Qingsong, Qing Bai, and the injured Bai Junlong exerted all their strength to flee the courtyard.

"Chase!"

Xue Wuchuan's face turned cold as he followed closely. Having already fought in Danfeng City, he had no intention of sparing the trio.

Leaving the courtyard, they soon resumed their battle beside a clear river in a nearby restaurant.

Such a large commotion between two top forces quickly attracted numerous Ancient Martial Artists living nearby.

"Daring to make a move in Danfeng City, how audacious."

"Indeed, fighting is forbidden within Danfeng City..."

"I wonder who is so blind to this."

"..."

The onlookers, expressions filled with surprise, rushed towards the site of the battle.

"Brother Qin Yang, they're really fighting."

Zilan's beautiful eyes sparkled as she watched Bai Junlong and others fight by the river, turning to Qin Yang beside her, and said.
