Behind the carriage, figures appeared and disappeared.

Those who stealthily advance have all attained the perfect ten levels of Dharma manifestation.

Although Bei Minghao deciphered Dongfang Quancheng's coded message in the letter, they remained vigilant.

After all, the four major families do not have the upper hand in terms of power at the top level in Tianjiang City.

If one or two more people are killed due to carelessness, the situation in Jiangzhou will be completely out of control.

Just as the caravan crossed a certain boundary, Lü Xiaoyi, who was sitting upright in the carriage, suddenly looked up.

A sharp beam of light cleaved through the void and shot towards us.

An endless chill and desolation, as if one were in a land of annihilation.

Lu Xiaoyi looked up at the sky, his eyes narrowing into a dangerous arc.

He neither dodged nor avoided the knife, watching it fall straight down in front of him.

The bluestone floor was cut open like tofu, but strangely, the blade stopped just halfway in.

This seemingly weak and ineffective attack actually made a glint of light flash in Lü Xiaoyi's eyes.

The owner of this knife... is quite interesting!

Although his control over power was slightly lacking, it was still basically on par with those at the bottom of the Heavenly Hero Ranking.

Looking at the opposing side, the only ones wielding knives are Long Daoji and Li Fan.

If this isn't Long Daoji's sword, then it must be Li Fan's!

What a pity!

If this strike had gotten a little out of control and killed two people, then he would have had a reason to make his move!

Lü Xiaoyi straightened his body and looked into the distance.

"Li Fan, what are you trying to do?"

Just then, a loud shout came from behind the carriage.

Before he finished speaking, Bei Minghao flashed to the front of the carriage.

The surging true energy flowed out like a tidal wave.

The image of the Dharma stands behind him.

At the same time, five figures hovered in mid-air like ghosts and gods.

The auras of Yan Bei, the head of the Zhenwu Division, Chang Pingtai, the sect leader of the Lingzong Sect, Nangong Xiongfeng, Ximen Qingshan, and Yue Konghen emanated from their bodies, and distorted ripples spread through the surrounding void.

Further away, Jiangzhou Governor He Mu and other powerful Dharma Realm experts also simultaneously boosted their true energy.

Besides them, in a pavilion somewhere on the outskirts of the battlefield, four figures clad in armor stood.

The person leading the group was none other than Ling Aotian.

Compared to others, he didn't have many conflicts of interest with the four major families, so he was more free.

Today's hostage exchange means that even if a fight breaks out, he will only lead three of his subordinates in the late stage of the tenth-grade Dharma Image realm to launch a sneak attack.

If given the chance, I will kill Li Fan.

If there's no chance, then retreat.

......

On the outskirts of the battlefield, above another pavilion, Fengbo also watched from the sidelines.

He looked relaxed, as if he were watching a good show.

He knew of Chen Kui's existence, but he didn't think the heavily injured Chen Kui had any chance of winning.

After all, those four families were once very prominent.

In the former Shang Dynasty, besides the powerful Zhou royal family that dominated the world, the four strongest martial arts families were the Great Four Families.

Choosing any one of the four great families would be enough to rival the top immortal sects of the era.

If it weren't for the heavy losses in the final battle, the Four Directions Grotto-Heavens probably wouldn't be the four great immortal sects they are today.

......

Outside Tianjiang City, a figure streaked across the sky.

A biting wind blew, causing Li Feitian's robes to flutter.

The distant ripples, though faintly visible, felt to him like the blazing sun.

Those auras represent the perfected tenth grade of Dharma manifestation.

A battle is about to break out inside the city!

Li Feitian's eyes opened and closed, and the true energy within his body was completely unrestrained.

......

Above the Ten Thousand Blades Sect, countless auras burst forth in competition.

Tong Wu, Long Daoji, Wang Tianzuo, Jiang Xue, and Liu Jingyan stood in a row.

The aura emanating from them was in no way inferior to that of their opponents.

When they appeared, Li Fan, accompanied by Dongfang Quancheng, stood at the collapsed gate of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect.

"Using the blade as a boundary, only one person is allowed to bring people over to exchange for the hostages!"

Li Fan looked into the distance and said, "Similarly, with the place where I am standing as the boundary, only I will be leading Dongfang Quancheng across!"

"good!"

After a moment's thought, Bei Minghao nodded in agreement.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Li Fan said.

Sending one person from each side is the fairest approach.

This will minimize the chances of something going wrong.

Moreover, the expert sent by their side was Lu Xiaoyi, the seventh-ranked expert on the Heavenly Hero Ranking, while the opponent was Li Fan himself.

No matter how you look at it, the advantage is on your side.

Thinking of this, Bei Minghao breathed a sigh of relief.

Once Dongfang Quancheng returns, I can finally put down my burden.

He's really not good at coordinating and directing.

As Bei Minghao finished speaking, Lü Xiaoyi got up from the carriage.

Thump!

When he landed on the bluestone floor, the earth trembled.

Click!

The carriage was smashed to pieces.

True energy lifted up a figure.

Shen Jinghe's face was pale, and his body was completely empty, without the slightest fluctuation of true energy.

Although he didn't die, he was crippled.

This has always been the style of the four major families.

If they are enemies, then we will deal them with ruthless force.

However, Shen Jinghe showed no sign of dejection on his face.

He even looked at Li Fan with a hint of curiosity.

He wanted to see just what kind of monster dared to offend the four great families to death!

Cold and aloof!

This was Shen Jinghe's first impression of Li Fan.

Besides that, it's all about domineering presence!

Although Li Fan did not speak, the fact that five Rank 10 Dharma Manifestation Perfection cultivators treated him as their superior was enough to demonstrate his domineering presence!

No wonder the original poster is so interested in him!

Just as Shen Jinghe was sizing up Li Fan, Lü Xiaoyi had already brought him to the arena.

Two kilometers!

One kilometer!

500 meters!

One hundred meters!

When the distance was reduced to fifty meters, Li Fan and Lü Xiaoyi stopped at the same time.

"Let's go!"

Li Fan spoke first.

Dongfang Quancheng nodded, and then walked in the direction of Lü Xiaoyi.

On the opposite side, Shen Jinghe also walked towards Li Fan's direction.

Although they did not exchange words, they walked toward each other with the same steps.

The cadence and stride length are exactly the same!

As the two passed each other, Dongfang Quancheng looked at Shen Jinghe apologetically: "Brother Shen, please forgive me!"

Everything that happened before was a misunderstanding.

Let's get along well from now on!

The reason for expressing his apology was that Shen Jinghe had been crippled, while he was only seriously injured.

Dongfang Quancheng's cultivation can be restored, but Shen Jinghe's cannot.

Of course, the so-called apology was also fake.

All for the sake of performing the final act well.

"Quan Cheng, Quan Cheng!"

You're such a hypocrite!

Unfortunately, I am just a useless person.

Even if they don't want to be nice to you, there's nothing they can do about it.

"I hope you'll take good care of me in Tiandu from now on!"

Shen Jinghe said with a bitter expression.

After they finished speaking, they passed each other.

Their steps became lighter and quicker.

Their faces were all smiles.

Dongfang Quancheng smiled because his plan was about to succeed.

If Li Fan continues to wait, he will inevitably be captured by our side.

Shen Jinghe laughed because he knew that Li Fan had the ability to kill people with his sword.

Yuwen Haotian's Tiger Soul was perfectly positioned in front of the carriage.

If it were an ordinary knife, Shen Jinghe wouldn't have made any connection to it.

But that knife, by chance, was made of tiger's soul.

Yuwen Haotian was forced to his death by the four major families.

Nangong Zhenxiang was truly grateful to Li Fan for recognizing his talent and helping him succeed.

By any measure, Li Fan will make a move!
