Zheng Shiyi was too lazy to argue with these people. No matter how much they talked, wasn't it just to find an excuse to kill him? If they wanted to fight, then let's fight! With so many people, there would be a chance to break through and escape!

Having been through many life-and-death battles, Zheng Shiyi understood more and more that in a fight... sometimes having more people isn't necessarily better! On the contrary... it might be more troublesome and harder to maneuver.

"What a waste of words!"

Zheng Shiyi held nothing back, and all ten spirit wheels erupted at once! In an instant, the surging spiritual energy rose to the sky, like a sea of water rushing into his body.

He felt an inexhaustible power within him, and his legs trembled at that moment. He slowly drew the Shadowless Blade, his eyes like a hunter locking onto his prey, staring motionlessly at Zheng Qiang and his wife.

"Eight Directions Step" one step, eight directions!

Zheng Shiyi's foot swept across the ground, leaving trails of afterimages, and the surging momentum swept through the entire space.

The overwhelming momentum forced the elder who had reached the first level of the Spirit Spring Realm, standing at the front, to retreat several steps.

Helpless! The others could only use their spiritual energy to resist. As for those with lower cultivation, they were hit by the violent momentum and spat out several mouthfuls of blood!

Whether one has experienced life-and-death battles, the true combat power differs greatly...

Zheng Qiang and his wife were also pressed by this momentum, struggling to breathe. But just in time, their "Heaven-Slaying Palm" and "Hell Sword" had reached their peak!

"Go...!"

Zheng Qiang's arms trembled, and the spiritual energy gathered in front of them surged toward Zheng Shiyi as if to swallow the heavens and the earth.

At that moment! Multiple afterimages appeared in front of them. Before they could release their attack, Zheng Shiyi, leaving afterimages, had already moved past them.

Then, two white flashes, like lightning in the night, streaked across their heads.

Before they could defend themselves, the cold, sharp Shadowless Blade had already slashed their heads. Their heads rolled off like watermelons.

Bright red blood splattered into the air, staining the space a vivid red.

One slash, just one slash, and two people at the first level of the Spirit Spring Realm were killed.

Fast! Unbelievably fast! The blade technique was fast, but the movement was even faster!

Everyone swallowed their saliva in unison, making the previously noisy environment abnormally quiet. Zheng Qiang and his wife's overwhelming momentum was instantly flattened!

After a brief moment of surprise, fear began to appear in everyone's eyes. It was fear of speed, and even more fear of Zheng Shiyi's ruthless methods.

One slash! A Qi Wheel Realm martial artist, one slash to kill two first-level Spirit Spring Realm people? Is this the combat power of a Xuanming Sect disciple? The young people exchanged envious and fearful glances.

Zheng Shiyi, holding the Shadowless Blade with blood on its tip, coldly pointed around, secretly searching for a direction to break through. He mocked, "Zheng Xuan, old dog, do you think I need to use despicable means to kill a pig like Zheng Song with my combat power?"

The simple question made Zheng Xuan feel as if he had been slapped hard. With such combat power, killing Zheng Song was as easy as crushing an ant.

"Now, you don't need to find a righteous reason to kill me." Zheng Shiyi waved his hand at the crowd, "Come on!"

The bold provocation was met with collective silence.

The young generation following Zheng Xuan all retreated backward.

If at first it was an unconscious retreat, now it was a truly voluntary retreat. The inner fear forced them to keep retreating. The sharp edge and the bold, iron-like aura pressed them to retreat.

Zheng Shiyi looked around, his eyes landing on Zheng Xuan with a cold smile, "Zheng Xuan, old dog, aren't you going to avenge your grandson? Come on!"

Zheng Xuan's face was dark and stormy. Before Zheng Shiyi went to the Xuanming Sect, he was just an ant that could be crushed at any time in his eyes! Now... his combat power after returning from the Xuanming Sect was so strong! And he dared to challenge him head-on. Does he have some trump card?

Zheng Xuan didn't dare to advance rashly. Without confirming whether Zheng Shiyi had any special trump card, he didn't dare to advance rashly. Years of combat experience told him that Zheng Shiyi, this little beast, could only stand there and provoke. He probably couldn't fight a group, only one-on-one? Delay time! Observe carefully!

"Little beast..." Zheng Xuan decided coldly, "The family sent you to the sect to cultivate well! To make the family great in the future, not to kill your own family members like you are doing now."

"You ignored the brotherhood in the sect, and we didn't have time to punish you! Now you have returned and killed two of our family's strong people."

"If I had known you were such a monster, I shouldn't have sent you to the sect!"

"What sin did our family commit to have a monster like you?"

Zheng Shiyi didn't know whether to laugh or be angry, "I haven't heard such shameless words in a long time. Zheng Xuan, old dog, have you eaten too much shit? Your head isn't clear?"

"I joined the sect based on my combat power! Zheng Song that fool betrayed me first and provoked me later. He deserved to die! You tricked me back with a letter to kill me! In the end, your two subordinates failed to kill me and were killed instead. What's there to complain about!"

"What's the point of so many useless words? If you want to take revenge, come and fight me."

Zheng Shiyi confirmed that the crowd wouldn't dare to move for the moment, and he walked toward the Wannili horse, secretly praying that everyone was intimidated by his momentum. That fierce attack was his limit. If these people attacked together, he would certainly die!

Zheng Xuan turned to look at the people following him and found that everyone's eyes lacked courage and fighting spirit. Who would dare to intercept him?

Damn! If I had known, I should have prepared more thoroughly and persuaded the Grand Elder to come! While Zheng Xuan was cursing in his heart, Zheng Shiyi had already mounted the Wannili horse and galloped away.

"What a close call!" After Zheng Shiyi was far away, these people sighed in relief, looking at each other.

"This little beast, how did he become so powerful! He actually killed Zheng Qiang and his wife with one slash. It's a good thing he didn't kill us, or we would all have died here."

"Yes, he is really strong."

Everyone was secretly grateful that Zheng Shiyi didn't kill them.

"If this kid hates us so much, if he really had the ability to kill us, would he let us go like this?" Someone in the crowd suddenly asked, making Zheng Xuan's mind clear.

"If I'm not mistaken, he probably used some secret technique to instantly boost his combat power, allowing him to kill Zheng Qiang and his wife."

"After the secret technique wears off, he will fall back to his original strength. Perhaps... even lower than his original strength. That's why he left in a hurry."

"He did that to intimidate us. If we go after him now, we still have a chance!"

The enlightened crowd nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, we must have been deceived. If he really had the power to kill us, he wouldn't let us go. He must be extremely weak now."

"We can catch up to him and kill him easily!" Zheng Xuan stomped his foot and ran to the stable, "Little beast, this time I will definitely kill you!"

There were not many horses in the stable. He could only tell three subordinates who had reached the ninth level of the Qi Wheel Realm, "You catch up to him and kill him immediately! He must be very weak now and no match for you!"

"Understood!" The three bowed respectfully, mounted their horses, and quickly chased after Zheng Shiyi.

Zheng Xuan looked at the three who had left, his brows slowly furrowing. There was a frightening aura about Zheng Shiyi. I shouldn't take these people to chase him. I should send them first and invite real experts to join for safety.

Zheng Xuan turned and headed toward a dilapidated house.

In no time, several people escorted a silver-haired, powerful old woman out of the house and walked toward the stable.

Then, the young disciples followed the old woman on horseback and galloped out of the city.

Zheng Shiyi galloped all the way and soon left Tianfang City.

He was regulating his body while secretly sighing in relief, "If it weren't for my ten spirit wheels bursting out and intimidating those people, even if I could kill a few of them..."

"In the end, I would still be killed due to the depletion of my spiritual energy. It seems that after returning, I must condense my Spirit Spring as soon as possible. Otherwise, if I encounter such a situation again, I might not be so lucky."

This near-death experience with Zheng Xuan and his group strengthened Zheng Shiyi's resolve to condense his Spirit Spring. If he had condensed his Spirit Spring before Zheng Xuan and his group returned, he wouldn't have to flee in such a狼狈 manner.

He would have already killed them, just like he killed Zheng Qiang and his wife.

As he moved forward, the soul seed's pulsing and the tenth spirit wheel's absorption of surrounding spiritual energy quickly replenished the depleted spiritual energy in his spirit wheels.

"Clack, clack, clack!"

Zheng Shiyi heard the urgent hoofbeats behind him and turned to see three horses, much faster than the Wannili, galloping toward him.

Not even at the Spirit Spring Realm, and they dare to chase? Zheng Shiyi smiled coldly, tugged the reins, and let the three pursuers quickly approach. He said coldly, "Do you really want to die?"

Die? The three pursuers laughed simultaneously. The muscular man with a rough voice laughed loudly, "Do you think your little tricks can fool me, Zheng Qing?"

"You used a secret technique to boost your strength. Your body must be extremely weak now. If you don't want to die without a trace, get off the horse and kowtow to each of us three times."

"We will make your death look better..."

"Idiots... didn't you notice that Zheng Xuan, the old dog, didn't dare to come after me?" Zheng Shiyi squeezed his horse's belly and leaped out, the Shadowless Blade slashing a white lightning in the air.

The three were stunned, a chill running through their bodies. They tried to turn their horses and run, but it was too late. They could only hastily swing their weapons to defend.

A cold light flashed in Zheng Shiyi's eyes, and two white flashes streaked across the sky. Before their weapons were even raised, the Shadowless Blade had already slashed their throats.

Thud, thud... The two heads slid off their shoulders, and a pungent blood spurted into the sky...
