“Elder Qin, Elder Qin.” After a few breaths, a middle-aged man appeared at the scene of the battle. He took one look and immediately noticed Qin Shan lying on the ground.
At this moment, Qin Shan was already lifeless. His hollow eyes were wide open, unable to close even in death.
“Damn thieves, how dare they kill an Elder of Yunxing Sect. If I catch you, I will make sure to tear you into a thousand pieces.” The middle-aged man roared several times, his figure swaying as he chased after Ren Pingsheng in the direction he had fled.
The recent fireworks were a distress signal from the sect; different colors represented different identities. The signal sent by Qin Shan was specifically for Elders. This was enough to attract the attention of Yunxing Sect, as Elders typically possessed at least Warrior Realm cultivation and rarely encountered life-and-death crises.
Soon, the news spread, and Yunxing Sect immediately took action. Scouts and disciples, including many Elders, were dispatched to find the murderer.
Before long, they received information that the culprit was a young man dressed in a blue robe, riding a Black Demon Horse. This information was provided by the middle-aged man. Although he had only caught a glimpse from several miles away and did not see the face clearly, he had noted Ren Pingsheng's attire.
Ren Pingsheng naturally did not know that his identity had been exposed; even if he did, he would not care. He dared to proclaim “whoever blocks me will die,” so he was not afraid of being intercepted along the way. Moreover, with the speed of the Black Demon Horse, ordinary people could not catch up, and he only needed half a day to leave Yunxing Sect's territory.
“This is… a young man in an Azure Long Robe riding a Black Demon Horse. This must be the murderer.” A disciple of Yunxing Sect happened to see Ren Pingsheng galloping by. He immediately signaled, causing all pursuers to rush in that direction.
“Little thief, where do you think you're going?” Just ahead, someone came rushing over and blocked Ren Pingsheng’s path. It turned out to be a Warrior Realm martial artist with Intermediate-level cultivation. He must have been one of Yunxing Sect's Elders.
“Get out of my way; don’t block my path.” Ren Pingsheng was not foolish enough to get entangled with him; the speed of the Black Demon Horse did not decrease. With a flash of his sword, a light golden sword aura slashed toward the blocker. Although it was merely Yellow Rank sword technique, its power should not be underestimated under the enhancement of True Qi.
“Want to escape? Stay right there!” The Elder of Yunxing Sect glared fiercely and shouted angrily. A large blade swung downwards with overwhelming momentum—not aimed at Ren Pingsheng but at his Black Demon Horse.
“Bold!” Ren Pingsheng raised his eyebrows and pulled on the reins; the Black Demon Horse leaped up directly. With three quick thrusts of his sword, he shattered the opponent's strike. At the same time, with a tremor of his hand, countless sword energies poured out. In that instant when the opponent raised his blade to block, the Black Demon Horse dashed past him swiftly.
“Damn it! Damn it! You can’t escape!” As that Elder of Yunxing Sect burst out from the sword energy, Ren Pingsheng had already become just a shadow in the distance. His furious roar followed as he continued to chase after him.
“Someone ahead, stop him!” Two Elite Disciples of Yunxing Sect appeared in front of Ren Pingsheng. The persistent Elder shouted excitedly.
“That’s the murderer! We just need to stop him so that others can catch up.” Although both were frightened inside, they thought that they only needed to slightly intercept him without risking their lives; it shouldn’t be too difficult. With this thought in mind, they leaped forward with swords drawn and blocked his path.
"Kid, stay here!" They all unleashed their strongest attacks in hopes of delaying him.
Ren Pingsheng, galloping on horseback, showed no change in expression. With a flash of his sword, he broke through the sword techniques of the two. With a tremor of his hand, two sword energies flashed by and pierced through the foreheads of the two.
"How could this happen..." No one cared about the horrified expressions of the two. Ren Pingsheng dashed past, and the elder from Yunxing Sect chasing behind did not pause for a moment. Only two lifeless bodies remained, collapsing weakly to the ground.
Time passed slowly, and the elder from Yunxing Sect was getting farther away, until he could no longer be seen.
"Almost there, just half an hour left to leave. Partner, put in some more effort!" Ren Pingsheng glanced into the distance and gently patted the black demon horse, chuckling lightly.
"Calculating the time, that kid should be coming soon, right?" In the woods by the roadside, an old man with a goatee said softly with a fierce look on his face.
"He is riding on the official road; this is the only way for him to leave Yunxing Sect's territory. Anyone who dares to kill our people must suffer a torturous death." The other person was surprisingly the middle-aged man from earlier; it was unclear what method he used to get ahead of Ren Pingsheng.
"We're approaching the edge of Yunxing Sect; we need to be cautious. There might be an ambush." Half an hour passed quickly. Ren Pingsheng looked at the sect's boundary line a thousand meters away and maintained his speed but became more vigilant.
"Little thief, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The goateed old man suddenly charged out from the front right, leaping above Ren Pingsheng's head and delivering a powerful punch downwards.
Ren Pingsheng's expression remained unchanged. He pulled on the reins, and with a neighing sound from the black demon horse, it suddenly made a 180-degree turn to the right. With a powerful leap, it dodged that punch. However, the goateed old man did not give up; as he landed, he pushed off with his toes and chased after him again with astonishing speed. The black demon horse became restless under his pressure.
"This is bad..." Just as Ren Pingsheng intended to jump sideways on his horse, someone attacked from that direction. A flash of sword light appeared before him. Without thinking, he urged the black demon horse to leap high into the air. Drawing his sword, he unleashed countless sword energies that cascaded down towards the two attackers coming at him.
"Boom..." At the point where their attacks intersected, a deafening roar erupted. The unfortunate black demon horse vanished without a trace, leaving only flesh flying everywhere. Meanwhile, Ren Pingsheng used the momentum to lightly turn his body and land not far away, staring grimly at the newly appeared middle-aged man.
It was because of this sudden attack that his black demon horse had died instantly. He didn't even have time to save it. If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, who knows if he would have been injured as well.
"Little thief, I finally caught up with you. You dared to kill Elder Qin; I will make you regret it." The middle-aged man's true energy surged forth, indicating he was a high-level warrior.
"Hmph, attacking without understanding the situation first; it seems your Yunxing Sect is quite shameless."
"Black and white? Hmph, all I see is that you killed Elder Qin, and that's enough for me to kill you."
"Where did all this nonsense come from? Hurry up and kill this brat so we can go back early," the elder with the goatee said, looking displeased. He raised his hand, and true energy surged around his fist as he lunged forward again.
The middle-aged man saw this and said nothing, following suit as he charged in with his sword glinting coldly.
Ren Pingsheng's expression changed slightly; one was a mid-level warrior, and the other was a high-level warrior. It would be somewhat difficult for him to deal with them. He feared it would come at a cost.
He took a light step forward, and countless phantoms appeared, momentarily stunning the two attackers.
His sword shot out like a cold star, lightly tapping the goateed elder's fist. Then he twisted his body, using his sword to block the middle-aged man's long sword. At the same time, he swept the sword sheath wrapped in true energy with his left hand, striking the middle-aged man in the abdomen.
"Ah!" At that moment, the goateed elder let out a soft gasp. A small hole appeared in his fist, blood flowing profusely. Ren Pingsheng was best at piercing through defenses; he had just unleashed seven strikes in an instant, each powerful enough to cause significant damage. That was why the goateed elder suffered a minor setback.
The middle-aged man let out a soft grunt and quickly retreated but still got hit by the sword sheath.
In their brief exchange, Ren Pingsheng had gained the upper hand.
Seizing this opportunity, Ren Pingsheng showed no hesitation; with a sweep of his sword, a pervasive sword aura enveloped both opponents again. Facing two enemies, he showed no signs of fear.
"Damn it! Kid, do you really think you're impressive? I'll show you what real skill is," the goateed elder shouted with an ugly expression. He threw several punches, unleashing waves of true energy that clashed with sword energy, clearing the battlefield momentarily.
"Take another move from me!" he roared again, slamming his fist into the ground, creating a pit the size of a fist.
Ren Pingsheng was taken aback for a moment before his expression changed; he moved swiftly to dodge just in time. Before he could catch his breath, he was met with countless sword energies slashing toward him from the middle-aged man. He swept his long sword to block some of the incoming sword light and then circled his hand to catch the remaining sword energies.
As for the long sword descending from above him, he helplessly raised his sword to defend.
"Clang!" The sound of a strong impact rang out as Ren Pingsheng felt a slight numbness in his hand. The tremendous force caused him to involuntarily retreat a full yard.
As soon as he landed, he felt a strange movement beneath his feet. Without thinking, he pointed his sword at the ground and struck three times. Using the recoil, he lightly shifted and landed a short distance to the left front. However, where he had just stood, several earth spikes over three feet long shot up. It was the work of the Goateed Elder.
"I didn't expect these two to cooperate so well; they're tough to deal with!" Ren Pingsheng frowned. In the previous encounter, he hadn't achieved anything significant; if he had reacted even slightly slower, he would have been seriously injured.
"It seems I can only kill one of them first. With the Thousand Silk Armor protecting me, it shouldn't be too difficult." With this thought, he turned his gaze toward the Goateed Elder. With his Mid-Level Warrior cultivation, it should be easier to take him down.
"Kill!" Ren Pingsheng swiftly moved next to the Goateed Elder. His sword thrust out with astonishing speed, flashing right at the elder's face. The Goateed Elder was startled and quickly dodged.
Ren Pingsheng's sword changed even faster; with a flick of his wrist, he followed up with a quick slash. The Goateed Elder felt a chill at his neck, and all the hairs on his body stood on end. As his body instinctively leaned back, he continued to retreat without losing speed. Ren Pingsheng's sword then shifted from a slash to a cut.
The middle-aged man was not slow to react either; his sword had already reached behind Ren Pingsheng. If Ren Pingsheng didn't give up now, that strike would surely inflict serious injury.
However, Ren Pingsheng ignored the attack from behind and accelerated his own strike. A light sound echoed as his sword carved a long wound across the Goateed Elder's chest.
"Eh..." Originally prepared to endure the middle-aged man's attack in order to kill the Goateed Elder, Ren Pingsheng suddenly turned his gaze toward another direction.
He then lightly sidestepped, avoiding most of the middle-aged man's attack. The middle-aged man reacted quickly as well; with a strike of his sword, he hit Ren Pingsheng directly. However, this blow was much weaker, and combined with Ren Pingsheng's Thousand Silk Armor, it didn't cause any significant damage.
Ren Pingsheng only turned pale for a moment as he suppressed the surging blood within him. Using the momentum, he intentionally or unintentionally flew toward where he had just looked.
"Why did you only arrive now? I've already dealt with that old guy Qin Shan. Hurry up and help me take care of these two!"
