Ren Zhong had no intention of losing his life here for the reward of tens of thousands of taels of Demon Silver, so it was best to leave first!

Just as Ren Zhong stepped on the water’s surface and ran about a hundred zhang, his head suddenly tilted backward.

A blood hole burst open at the center of his forehead and the back of his head, and a large amount of blood mist exploded from the wound.

“Wolf Sword” Ren Zhong looked bewildered, his eyes full of incomprehension.

This was Sword Qi!

But where did the Sword Qi come from?

Just as the thought flashed through his mind, his body disintegrated into scattered flesh and sank into the river, inciting a feeding frenzy among countless fish below.

Chu Xisheng didn’t know that “Wolf Sword” Ren Zhong was already dead.

He was holding the Gentle Wind Thunder Blade, his expression cold and merciless as he watched Songfeng Sword Lin Shi.

Lin Shi’s eyes were filled with despair and his face was ashen; he was desperately swinging his sword, defending against Bai Xiaozhao’s lethal claw shadows.

His body was already bloodstained and riddled with wounds.

Without the support of the other three, Bai Xiaozhao alone could kill Lin Shi within ten moves!

The only reason Lin Shi hadn’t died yet was that Bai Xiaozhao was being merciful, wanting to leave his life for Chu Xisheng.

“Why?”

Chu Xisheng took steps toward Lin Shi.

He wasn’t unaware that villains often died because they talked too much.

Idle chatter at critical moments could lead to a reversal of the situation.

Yet, Chu Xisheng was still curious about the reason behind Songfeng Sword Lin Shi’s betrayal.

Just over ten days ago, the Iron Banner Gang had been in its prime.

As the fourth-ranking member of the gang, what could have prompted Songfeng Sword Lin Shi to betray them?

Was it so he could inherit the leadership of the Iron Banner Gang from the hands of the Tie Brothers, for the position of Commander in the Tianping Army Navy Camp offered by Sikong Chan, disregarding the brotherhood of more than a decade with the Tie Brothers to betray them with poison?

Songfeng Sword Lin Shi, knowing his death was certain, didn’t even bother resisting anymore, letting Bai Xiaozhao’s Wind Blades slice through his skin, leaving trails of blood.

“Why?” he staggered, a self-mocking chuckle escaping him: “It’s all your fault!

You joined the Iron Banner Gang too late!”

“Late?” Chu Xisheng’s brow rose slightly, his expression puzzled.

“If you had joined the Iron Banner Gang just five months earlier, would it have come to this?

I wouldn’t have harbored thoughts of betrayal, and the Iron Madman wouldn’t have died!”

Songfeng Sword Lin Shi laughed hysterically as if mad: “Sikong Chan is truly scheming, plotting a year in advance to eradicate the Flag Leader!

The Iron Madman wouldn’t listen to my advice, insisting on opposing the ship workers and the noble merchant families of Xiushui County on behalf of those laborers, turning the entire county against the Iron Banner Gang.

He was also delusional about getting promoted to Fourth Grade—what a dream!

And my family, how could I let them be buried with the Iron Banner Gang?

I’ve already suffered the ruin of my household during the disturbance at the Chongzhou Naval Camp; should I watch my family be wiped out again?

It’s a pity!

I ask you, why didn’t you join the Iron Banner Gang earlier to give me hope?”

“So that’s how it is.”

Chu Xisheng’s eyes dimmed slightly, considering that Songfeng Sword Lin Shi’s betrayal had actually occurred before he joined the Iron Banner Gang!

He felt even more resentment, and his long blade flashed in his hand.

With a barely visible slash of the blade, Songfeng Sword Lin Shi’s head soared several zhang into the air before falling into Chu Xisheng’s hands.

Afterward, Chu Xisheng swept his robes aside; holding Songfeng Sword Lin Shi’s head, he floated away from the stronghold like a fleeting shadow.

“Everyone, it’s time to go!”

He knew Ji Qianqian’s archery strength was failing and could no longer contain Lang Tianzhong of Blood Bat Mountain, while Ye Zhiqiu was barely holding up against the assaults of “Blood Wind Sword” Li Daogui.

Lu Luanyi could manage to kill the Governor’s Steward, Sikong Pan, but might reveal her identity as a remnant of the Crown Prince.

Chu Xisheng himself seemed mighty and overpowering, slaying formidable enemies one after another.

However, in his character panel, the lifespan column had dropped to 197 days.

The “Dance of Burial Sky” status could consume nearly half a day of his life for every breath extended.

Chu Xisheng had barely managed to extend his life to nearly a year, and in these brief moments, he had squandered almost a third of it.

As he retreated, he did not hesitate to retrieve a “Divine Blood Returning Origin Pill” from his storage and swallowed it.

This Divine Pill produced by the system was truly miraculous; Chu Xisheng had only run across the river for more than three hundred zhang, and his injuries had recovered by five to six tenths, with his True Essence Qi Blood returning to peak condition.

And the status bar’s “Dance of Burial Sky (Heavy)” changed to “Dance of Burial Sky (Light)” as well.

Bu Yancheng of the Eight-Armed Vajra Sword also caught up, laughing heartily: “What a thrilling battle!

I never expected the Flag Leader to truly take Lin Shi’s head amidst the dragon pond and tiger cave!

Such boldness and bravery are rare in my lifetime!”

He paused, his gaze sharpening, noticing the Blood Flame still burning fiercely around Chu Xisheng.

Bu Yancheng’s gaze filled with joy, respect, and envy.

“Congratulations, Flag Leader!

The War God ‘Burial Sky’ and the War God ‘Li Tan’ have favored you even further.”

In today’s battle, he himself had been favored by the War Gods “Burial Sky” and “Li Tan,” allowing his Bloodline Talents to advance.

But none of that compared to Chu Xisheng.

Chu Xisheng also noticed that his character panel had changed.

——Burial Sky (Sixth Rank)!

Chu Xisheng was slightly surprised; his Burial Sky Bloodline had advanced to the Sixth Rank level in one leap.

In addition, he noticed a new entry in his status bar, “Eye of Li Tan.”

Eye of Li Tan——You have been graced by the “War God” Li Tan; regardless of the metal class of Magic Artifact or weapon you use, you can further stimulate Geng Metal Energy, enhancing your weapon’s Divine Might by twenty percent.
