Chapter 224: Strikes to Kill

Using the Blood Refining Martyr Art, the power of the blazing Crimson Flame Sword's explosion is no less than the full force strike of an ordinary Mid Foundation Building cultivator. The cultivator who set up the barrier was merely at the Initial Foundation Building stage of cultivation and seemed not very skilled in this kind of battle, lacking obvious adaptability.

After the Crimson Flame Sword exploded, all his defensive measures were shattered, and he ended up spewing blood uncontrollably, his body sent flying away. As a Foundation Building stage cultivator, he should have some means to preserve his life, as long as he didn't die on the spot.

The other two Foundation Building stage cultivators who were besieging Jin Qigu and the others also noticed the situation here. Reacting swiftly, one continued to attack Jin Qigu's group, while the other turned around and rushed over as if his life depended on it, attempting to rescue his comrade.

Meanwhile, the injured companion struggled and prepared to retrieve life-saving items from his storage bag. As soon as Meng Zhang threw the Crimson Flame Sword, he charged forward, and his flying sword's venomous fang followed suit, shooting like lightning toward the target.

The heavily injured cultivator, unable to dodge due to being blown away, was directly pierced by the flying sword's venomous fang. The venomous fang stirred within his body, turning his insides into a mess. At this point, even the most tenacious person could only meet their demise.

The reinforcing cultivator witnessing this scene forcefully halted his charge and vigilantly observed Meng Zhang. Jin Qigu, who was under attack, also noticed the situation. She had thought they were ambushed and had little chance of survival, but with Meng Zhang's help, there was finally hope for their survival.

"Sect Master Meng, be careful, these two are demons from the Yellow Lotus Sect," Jin Qigu timely warned Meng Zhang.

The Yellow Lotus Sect cultivators were known for their strange ways and terrible reputation, often considered unorthodox sects. Jin Qigu's label of "demons" wasn't unjustified.

Upon hearing Jin Qigu's shout, Meng Zhang's eyes flickered, and he shouted back, "Bold demons! How dare you intrude into the territory of my Flying Swan Sect! Do you think my Flying Swan Sect has no one?"

Meng Zhang didn't expect the enemy to be scared off just by mentioning Flying Swan Sect; it was merely to make them a little more cautious, which was still advantageous.

After the shout, without waiting for the enemy's response, Meng Zhang invoked his flying sword's venomous fang and thrust it toward the enemies.

Having only one flying sword, Meng Zhang couldn't employ a dual sword technique nor unleash the Strange and Upright Sword Art. Not wanting to easily reveal the Lifeless Killing Sword, he employed the Wind Dance Willow Sword Technique.

Each sword technique required a suitable flying sword to exhibit its greatest power. When Meng Zhang was still a Refining Qi stage cultivator, he used the First Rank flying sword "Soft Around The Finger," which was actually most suitable for executing the Wind Dance Willow Sword Technique.

However, after the Foundation Building stage, the power of the First Rank flying sword was obviously insufficient, so he bestowed the flying sword upon Yang Xueyi. The flying sword's venomous fang in his hand, used to execute the Wind Dance Willow Sword Technique, could only be considered passable and did not offer any special enhancements.

Facing Meng Zhang, the cultivator also wielded a flying sword and engaged in a fierce battle. With one opponent less, the pressure on Jin Qigu's side significantly decreased. She, along with several disciples from her sect, could barely hold off the enemy.

Meng Zhang and his opponent exchanged several moves, and he felt that his opponent's sword technique was exceptional, displaying extraordinary swordsmanship, rich experience, and lethal killing moves. Meng Zhang, who took pride in his swordsmanship, not only failed to gain the upper hand but also began to fall behind gradually.

A good flying sword was crucial for the full display of swordsmanship's power. Meng Zhang's swordsmanship was not weaker than his opponent's, but due to the inferior flying sword, he began losing his advantage.

Meng Zhang remained calm; it was evident that Jin Qigu's side could hold on for a long time. Even though he temporarily fell behind, for the opponent to defeat him, it would take at least half a day or more.

Furthermore, swordsmanship was not the only skill in Meng Zhang's arsenal. Accustomed to keeping some tricks up his sleeve, he had yet to reveal his true trump card.

Meng Zhang controlled his flying sword's venomous fang, engaging in a fierce battle with the opponent's flying sword. His body leaped and dodged, moving left and right, evading the opponent's attacks. Rarely encountering a swordsmanship master, Meng Zhang became interested and wanted to have a good contest with the opponent, honing his own swordsmanship and gaining more combat experience.

The swordsmanship master seemed to enjoy the battle as well and did not use any other means, solely employing his swordsmanship to match Meng Zhang skillfully. Although Meng Zhang was slightly falling behind, he was not without counterattacks. With his proficiency in using the Wind Dance Willow Sword Technique, known for using softness to overcome hardness, this was the time to display its power.

The two battlefields, not far apart, became increasingly intense. The location wasn't far from Firewell Market, which was usually bustling with various cultivators passing by.

That deceased Yellow Lotus Sect cultivator had created a barrier to conceal all the activities here. But now that the cultivator who set up the barrier had died, and the barrier was destroyed during the Crimson Flame Sword's explosion, everything was exposed.

After fighting for a long time, the situation on Meng Zhang's side became more unfavorable. The opponent's flying sword had completely suppressed Meng Zhang's flying sword's venomous fang, leaving him with little ability to fight back.

Meng Zhang secretly took out the Golden Crow Lantern, looking for an opportunity to make a sneak attack. When the opponent believed they were on the verge of victory, Meng Zhang would seize the chance to give him an unforgettable lesson.

At this moment, a flying boat from afar passed by this area, heading towards Firewell Market. The flying boat was flying at a relatively low altitude, allowing those on board to see the battlefield clearly below.

Jin Qigu had no idea about Meng Zhang's plan and thought that both she and Meng Zhang were about to reach their limit. She shouted loudly toward the flying boat passing overhead, "The demons from the Yellow Lotus Sect have invaded the Endless Sea of Sand. Hurry and invite the experts from the Flying Swan Sect to exterminate these demons!"

Originally hesitating whether to approach the battlefield, the flying boat immediately lowered its altitude upon hearing Jin Qigu's call and flew towards the battlefield.

The two Yellow Lotus Sect cultivators looked at each other, knowing that the opportunity had passed, and the mission was now impossible to accomplish. If they continued to linger here, truly attracting the Flying Swan Sect cultivators, it would bring a lot of trouble.

Without further hesitation, the two, who already had the upper hand, easily forced their opponents to retreat, successfully leaving the battlefield and fleeing into the distance.

Watching the two figures grow smaller in the distance, Jin Qigu had no strength to pursue, and Meng Zhang knew that even if he went alone, it would be futile to catch up.

As the flying boat approached, Meng Zhang quickly searched the body of the cultivator he had killed. Apart from having three storage bags on him, this guy had also hidden a storage ring close to his body. If it weren't for Meng Zhang's Deception Breaking Eye, he would have almost missed it.

After confirming that nothing was left behind, Meng Zhang let go of the enemy's body. At this moment, several cultivators jumped down from the flying boat, approaching Meng Zhang and the others.
