Merely one thirtieth of a snap later, the sword-wielding woman was dismembered as well.

Her body was similarly chopped into over a dozen pieces by four bursts of sword energy, and not long after, the fragments of her corpse began to burn with red flames.

While Dan Chiling was astonished, a strange sense of familiarity also arose.

The manner in which these two people died, it looked somewhat familiar to him; had he seen it somewhere before?

Dan Chiling then suddenly realized, wasn’t this the same way the head of the Shi Family, Shi Fengguo, had died just a while ago?

It was the same pattern: dismemberment followed by burning—

Just who was this person above their heads, and what was his background?

But that person’s figure was like a dragon in the clouds, seen and then unseen.

After killing, he vanished without a trace.

Dan Chiling strained his eyes searching into the distance, but he couldn’t catch any sight of this person.

“This seems to be our Red Dragon lineage’s Red Fire Slash!”

Dan Tuo, Dan Chiling’s third son, stood in front of the burning corpse fragments, expressing his confusion, “Could it be that within the West Mountain Hall, there are still members of our Red Dragon lineage?”

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped on the back of his head by Dan Ell, his older brother, “Idiot!

It’s clearly someone imitating our sword skill, framing us for their deeds!”

Dan Ze’s expression turned serious, “Father, it seems like the waters of West Mountain Hall are deeper than we imagined!”

He then turned his head to look towards the east where thick fog lay, “Someone’s coming, one fifth-grade, four upper sixth-grade, do we need to make way now?”

“With such experts in West Mountain Hall, why should we make way at all!”

Dan Chiling finally snapped out of it, his emotions a tangled mess.

This mysterious high-grade martial practitioner who could instantly kill fifth-graders was clearly related to Chu Xisheng.

It was good that West Mountain Hall had such formidable strength, meaning that the situation of the Dan Family was much safer than they had assumed.

However, this mysterious person imitating their family’s sword skill Red Fire Slash was clearly intending to frame the Dan Family!

Dan Chiling felt extremely agitated, slashing forward as if to vent, “Kill!

Kill!

Kill!”

Only through killing could he release the pent-up resentment in his heart!

Their own hall master and that mysterious person were both bastards, utterly deceitful!

Meanwhile, Ji Qianqian with her face covered was also engaging in slaughter within the county army’s ranks!

Being one of the four ‘Super Heavenly Pillars’ of the Heavenly Jinyi Guards, with cultivation reaching the fifth-grade upper level and combat power surpassing by two grades, she rampaged through the county army as if it were a child’s play.

But Ji Qianqian’s gaze was fixed on the right wing where the Sheen Family was positioned.

In that direction, bursts of red light were continuously flashing.

—This was the ‘Red Light Talisman,’ a commonly used method of signaling an alert in the military.

Although it was just a ninth-grade Jade Talisman and not worth much, once triggered, it could blaze up a cluster of red light regardless of the harsh environment.

It happened that Ji Qianqian had also encountered three ‘Red Light Talismans’ while within the ranks of the county army.

Those were three deputy commanders with an upper sixth-grade cultivation, all of whom were slain by her in a single encounter!

Therefore, Ji Qianqian also understood that every burst of red light on the right wing meant the fall of a high-level practitioner from the Xiushui Alliance Army.

The frequency at which this red light flashed was fast; in a brief period, five bursts had already occurred, and they were swifter than her side.

Could they be those two half-demon martial cultivators from the Red Dragon lineage?

Ji Qianqian squinted her eyes, deciding first to finish off some high-ranked officers within the county army to relieve Chu Xisheng from the pressure in front, then confirm the identities of those two half-demon practitioners afterwards!

Qianqian was decisive and efficient in her actions.

She immediately accelerated her pace, swiftly moving through the thick fog, searching for two fifth-grade commanders of Xiushui City’s county army.

As long as she killed these two, making those seven thousand county soldiers leaderless, West Mountain Hall could easily crush them.

Qianqian didn’t see anything wrong with that.

These regional commanders treated the troops of the county as their personal army, arbitrarily ordering them and using them in private conflicts to usurp court authority for their own gain; they deserved to die ten thousand deaths!

About twenty-nine breaths later, Qianqian’s pupils lit up as she finally sensed two strands of Vigorous Force from fifth-grade practitioners several dozen feet away.

However, just as Qianqian was about to accelerate forward to slay these two, she suddenly had a premonition, with all the hairs on her body standing up as if she were a cat with its tail stepped on.

Qianqian sensed an extremely powerful presence that had arrived without warning!

On instinct, she assumed a defensive posture while looking around for the source of that presence.

In that instant, Qianqian saw twenty-three feet away, both fifth-grade commanders of the county army being struck by several powerful sword energies, their bodies splitting apart with sprays of blood.

Then those scattered pieces of corpse burst into red flames.

Qianqian’s pupils constricted.

This was the sword skill of the Red Dragon Clan—Red Fire Slash!

Ji Qianqian had already faintly sensed a figure whisking across the sky above.

The direction in which this person was flying was exactly toward the Shangguan Family’s military formation!

Ji Qianqian didn’t hesitate for a moment and followed right behind.

Her eyes brimmed with excitement.

This Red Dragon Half-Demon’s cultivation was at least Fourth Grade!

It might even be close to the level of the Earthly List!

This meant that this person was very likely a direct descendant of a First Grade Red Dragon’s bloodline!

Her figure turned into a streak of red light, shooting through the air above the military formation.

The soldiers she passed by, merely swept by the Vigorous Force she carried, all spat blood from their mouths and noses, collapsing to the ground.

Despite Ji Qianqian’s efforts, the figure in the distance was getting farther and farther away, the distance between them growing ever larger.

Ji Qianqian was secretly anxious.

As she hesitated whether to bite the tip of her tongue and use a Secret Technique that would consume Primordial Qi to increase her speed, a furious roar came from below: “Come down here!”

In an instant, countless Flying Needles shot upwards, dense as a swarm, engulfing Ji Qianqian’s figure within.

Ji Qianqian looked down with focus and saw that it was none other than the Shangguan Family Master, Shangguan Shen Hao!

A flash of rage immediately shot through her eyes.

This scum of Xiushui County, how dare he obstruct her?

How dare he block her search for the remnants of the Red Dragon?

“Kill!”

Ji Qianqian, without dodging or evading, faced the sky full of Flying Needles head-on, descending like a shooting star, with an unstoppable momentum!

Shangguan Shen Hao watched this scene, his expression changing slightly.

“Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Golden Bell Training?”

The Flying Needles, laden with the power to break the Gang, could not even pierce Ji Qianqian’s skin before being deflected away!

Shangguan Shen Hao had followed the flashing of the red flames to get here.

Original plans were for Shangguan Shen Hao to lead two hundred iron cavalry from the embankment on another route, directly attacking the rearguard of West Mountain Hall.

But no plan can account for every change.

He hadn’t yet led his men to the riverbank when continuous bursts of red light had already erupted within the Xiushui Alliance Army’s formation.

And it was one after another, incessant, in less than half a moment, there were fifteen or sixteen clusters of red light flashing!

Shangguan Shen Hao determined that it was impossible for West Mountain Hall to have so many fifth-Grade half-demons.

This could only be one or two beings of extraordinary combat strength, slaying their high-grade Martial Practitioners with unparalleled speed and efficiency!

Shangguan Shen Hao had also been forced to abandon the plan, rushing to intercept.

Not until he saw Ji Qianqian did he realize how extraordinary this mysterious master’s combat strength was!

This person was even more terrifying than the Iron Madman!

“Bang!”

This was the sound of Shangguan Shen Hao’s mechanical iron hand colliding with Ji Qianqian’s right fist.

The ‘Divine Machine Tower’ meticulously crafted iron hand disintegrated in the moment their fists met, countless parts scattering in all directions.

Shangguan Shen Hao’s figure was thrown back a full twenty yards, blood seeping from his mouth, nose, and every facial orifice.

He immediately crushed a Jade Talisman, transforming into a ray of golden light retreating to the distant city walls.

At this moment, Shangguan Shen Hao’s eyes were filled with fear, tinged with a hint of doubt and uncertainty.

In this world today, among the few families with the complete transmission of the “Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Golden Bell Training,” aside from two Second Grade sects, there were only the “Police Pool of Blood,” “Six Gates,” “Imperial Palace,” and “Ice State Border Army.”

Just who exactly was this person from before?

How could such a monster be hidden within West Mountain Hall?

At this moment, infinite regret gnawed at Shangguan Shen Hao’s heart.

How could he have been so foolish?

To agree with Sheen Zhou not to disperse the fog, allowing these mysterious masters from West Mountain Hall—whose origins were suspect and not to be exposed—to gain the power to stir up trouble!

At this time, Ji Qianqian stomped the ground in fury, causing the surrounding area to shake violently.

Because of Shangguan Shen Hao’s intervention, she could no longer catch up to that powerful Red Dragon Half-Demon!

This bastard, she would slaughter him sooner or later!
