Within the Mu Family stronghold, fierce battles erupted everywhere.
It was extremely gruesome.
The martial artists of the Mu Family were fearless and would fight to the death, some of their eyes even glowed red.
Li Qian couldn’t help but remember the half-demon and the other four martial artists he encountered in Taiping County.
Their eyes seemed to be red too.
"Could it be that they are part of the same force? That being the case... could it be that the force is likely the Moon Worship Sect?"
Li Qian followed Senior Brother Gu and others, sneakily observing the surroundings and occasionally lending a hand...
Moon Worship Sect.
A force that once incited a rebellion in the Southeast Eight States of the Dachang Dynasty.
Dachang took several years to completely suppress it.
It seems now that the force has not been completely eradicated but rather has hidden itself in the shadows.
"Zhao Yun, you old eunuch, why are you so fixated on my Mu Family?"
At this moment, a loud and long howl suddenly resounded, shaking the wilderness, with the sound waves causing pain to the eardrums of lower-cultivation Postnatal Martial Artists.
"Mu Guanying, don’t think just because you’ve hidden yourself well, our house doesn’t know you are the remnants of Moon Worship Sect, prepare to die."
A sharp and icy voice sounded.
Immediately after, intense fighting noise broke out.
"The strongest are only two top Grandmaster level?"
Li Qian sensed the commotion and made his judgment.
No wonder Divine Sword Sect only sent them; the strongest among them was only Grandmaster level Senior Brother Gu, and none of the elder-level or real power elders were mobilized.
There was simply no need.
After a while, accompanied by a sharp, piercing scream that abruptly stopped:
"Ha ha ha...."
A hearty laughter resounded, gradually diminishing until it disappeared completely.
Li Qian knew that the two top Grandmasters had died together.
A very brutal death.
Suddenly, a red shadow shot toward the people of Divine Sword Sect.
"Scatter!"
Senior Brother Gu, with an amputated arm, let out a low shout, his long sword vibrating vigorously to intercept the red shadow.
It was a horrifying figure, like a ghastly ghost with sharp bone spurs protruding from the wrists, back, shoulders, and other places, enveloped in a faint red, bloody aura.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh...
Streaks of red light blossomed, tearing through the air with incredible speed.
Senior Brother Gu wielded his long sword to defend.
For a moment, he seemed to be slightly at a disadvantage.
No one else dared to approach.
"A half-demon?"
Li Qian looked at this terrifying red shadow, his face showing surprise.
Moreover, the strength of this half-demon seemed to be somewhat stronger than the one he had encountered before.
"With the strength of Senior Brother Gu, he should be able to handle it."
Like everyone else on the periphery, Li Qian assessed the strength of the half-demon.
After a dozen exchanges, Senior Brother Gu suddenly pushed back the half-demon with a sword strike, and the second sword on his back was swiftly unsheathed.
The smaller sword, led by chains, moved like a flying sword, leaving a trail as it shot down from the sky.
Li Qian watched Senior Brother Gu’s manipulation of the Flying Sword Technique, and couldn’t help but marvel.
It had to be said that Senior Brother Gu’s Dual Sword Technique was extremely exquisite, already reaching a peak level of mastery.
Thud!
The half-demon was too slow to dodge and was pierced through the heart by the flying sword.
Since half-demons have an extremely strong vitality, it struggled for a moment before falling down; the red light in its eyes gradually faded, and the body shrunk, eventually becoming a woman and ceasing to breathe.
Phew!
Senior Brother Gu propped himself up with his sword, exhaling deeply.
If it weren’t for his exceptionally tricky Flying Sword Technique, it would not have been easy for him to kill this half-demon.
Half an hour later.
The entire Mu Family stronghold was thoroughly cleansed.
