"Buzz!"

    Just as Xu Nian and his group continued to rush into the depths of the Demon Beast Forest, a swift sound of breaking air suddenly came from behind.

    It was an arrow covered with Spiritual Energy, piercing through three or four thick trees, aimed directly at Xu Nian''s back heart.

    Xu Nian didn''t hesitate for a second, instantly drawing the steel sword from his waist and turning around to strike.

    The sword''s edge struck the extremely sharp arrowhead, producing extremely dazzling sparks.

    Despite this sudden and fierce attack, Xu Nian managed to deflect the arrow, which ended up embedded in a large tree.

    Xu Nian also used the rebound force to land on the trunk of a tree, his eyes sharply watching behind.

    "Indeed, they have come after all." Xu Nian muttered to himself; the thing he feared most had finally happened.

    The other four also noticed the situation, taken aback. They hurriedly drew their weapons, watching the surroundings warily.

    "Swoosh swoosh!"

    Two figures rapidly emerged from the jungle, one wielding an axe charging at Lin Feng and the other swinging a saber at Lu Morning.

    Just like that, the two strongest members in the team were restrained by the opponents.

    Meanwhile, another arrow, carrying a terrifying force, shot towards Xu Nian.

    This arrow was even faster than the last, its speed like that of a meteor.

    Jungle assassins never wasted words; they knew that killing an opponent in the simplest and fastest way was the correct approach.

    Seeing this, Murong Xue wanted to step up and help Xu Nian but was stopped by his loud shout.

    "Don''t worry about me, I can handle this!"

    Xu Nian shouted, his eyes piercing and his steel sword buzzing, a sudden austere breeze covered his long sword.

    "Ling Feng Thirteen Swords, First Style, Sword Song of the Wind!"

    Xu Nian called out, thrusting his sword out instantly.

    In three days, he had mastered both Ling Feng Thirteen Swords and the Gale Dragon Step to the Subtle Realm. This was no longer describable as monstrous, but downright perverse.

    "How strong is his enlightenment exactly, and how many of the Ling Feng Thirteen Swords can he perform in the Subtle Realm?" Murong Xue gazed in the direction where Xu Nian had disappeared, her face blank.

    "Xue, come help me!"

    Just then, Lu Morning''s voice suddenly interrupted Murong Xue''s thoughts.

    It turned out that Lu Morning was facing that donkey-faced man, Tie Donkey, who was a level above him in cultivation. He was already struggling to fend off the attacks.

    On another front, Lin Feng was also hard-pressed, as he and Yu Feng together barely managed to deal with the crew-cut man''s Iron Axe.

    Seeing this, Murong Xue did not hesitate, quickly drew her long sword, and went to aid Lu Morning, which relieved some of his pressure.

    "Ha ha, useless! When my brother finishes off that guy, all of you will die. He''s a three-star Warrior," the donkey-faced man laughed loudly.

    Hearing this, both Murong Xue and Lu Morning were startled. If that archer was indeed a three-star Warrior, wasn''t Xu Nian walking into certain death?

    Lin Feng and Yu Feng also had solemn expressions, clearly perturbed by this news for them.

    "Ha ha, scared now? But don''t worry, my beauty, I won''t kill you. Just obediently do as I say, and I guarantee your safety," the donkey-faced man said as he fought, his gaze towards Murong Xue filled with lewdness.

    "In your dreams!" Murong Xue''s eyebrows furrowed instantly, a flash of disgust crossing her eyes.

    "Dreaming? Ha ha, do you think I''m dreaming? With your strength, how long do you think you can hold against me? Moreover, my brother will be here soon, and once he joins the battle, what chances do you think you have?" The donkey-faced man swung his battle saber, laughing wildly.

    Murong Xue and Lu Morning both had grave expressions, clearly acknowledging the truth in the donkey-faced man''s words. If another three-star Warrior came, they would all be doomed.

    "Sorry, your brother won''t be coming!"

    However, just then, a chilly voice suddenly came from afar.

    Everyone halted their fighting and looked towards the source.

    They saw Xu Nian walking towards them step by step, his clothes stained with blood, holding a long sword in one hand and a head in the other, his eyes as sharp as sword light.

    The donkey-faced man and the crew-cut man''s eyes widened in shock as they both cried, "Gangzi!"

    Murong Xue and Lin Feng, among others, were also dumbstruck, staring in disbelief at the approaching Xu Nian.

    They suddenly felt that the figure approaching them wasn''t Xu Nian, but a slayer of thousands!
