The ground was littered with chaos, the dead crocodile, and the mouth full of bloodstains!

Zheng Shiying lay on the ground, increasingly admiring himself. In this relentless battle, even his acting skills had improved to this level! Such a performance was enough to deceive the black eagle in the sky, giving it a perfect illusion.

If this eagle was indeed sent by someone to secretly monitor, it would certainly report this matter to its master, and the master would likely appear here!

"Chirp!"

Sure enough, not long after Zheng Shiying closed his eyes, the black eagle circling in the high sky let out a cry and dove down.

It flapped its wings, scrutinizing Zheng Shiying for a moment. Seeing that Zheng Shiying was indeed unconscious, it flapped its wings again and flew away from the swamp.

Zheng Shiying became even more suspicious that this black eagle was likely sent by someone, and this departure was to find its master!

"I'll wait here for a while. If someone really comes later, it will prove that someone has ill intentions towards me, and I can find out who is hiding in the dark."

"If possible, I'll deal with that person here. If I can't win... the 'Eight Directions Step' is enough to help me escape."

After making up his mind, Zheng Shiying quietly leaned against the tree trunk. The soul seed was "thumping" in his chest, repairing the minor injuries to his body.

"Chirp chirp!"

Li Chong, Yu Yan, and Yi Ming were leisurely leaning against a rock, their eyes fixed on the direction of the swamp filled with poisonous gas.

A cry from the eagle came from the swamp, and the three immediately stood up.

The black eagle flew to Yi Ming, flapping its wings, screeching in front of him, and making various gestures, as if explaining something.

Yi Ming was delighted after listening and said to Yu Yan and Li Chong, "That kid encountered a strange beast in the swamp and was severely injured in the struggle. He is now leaning against an ancient tree."

"Great." Li Chong seemed very excited. If Zheng Shiying died in the swamp, it would save him the trouble of taking action.

Yu Yan's excited eyes were filled with doubt, "That kid isn't easy to deal with. How could he be severely injured by a strange beast in such a short time?"

Yi Ming took out three doses of antidote from his pocket and explained to the two, "The swamp environment is special. According to the feedback from my martial soul, he is not adapted to the soft and sinking force of the ground..."

"The swamp is full of poisonous mists. That guy was likely injured by the poison from the mists. He is severely injured. If we go in now, we can easily finish him off."

"These antidotes can help us resist the poisonous gas inside. Take them quickly."

Yi Ming handed two doses of antidote to Yu Yan and Li Chong and took the remaining one himself.

Yu Yan and Li Chong exchanged glances and swallowed the antidotes.

Then, the three, led by the black eagle, entered the swamp.

"Could it be that the black eagle wasn't sent by someone to monitor me?" After resting on a dead tree for a long time, neither the black eagle nor anyone else came.

Zheng Shiying straightened his back slightly, preparing to get up and continue moving forward.

"Look, that's the corpse of the swamp crocodile. That guy must be nearby. Let's hurry up!"

A voice full of excitement reached Zheng Shiying's ears. This clearly indicated that the speaker had prior information and had no good intentions.

Zheng Shiying quickly assumed the appearance of being severely injured, leaning against the ancient tree, half-closing his eyes, and staring in the direction of the voice.

Soon, three people appeared in his field of vision.

Yu Yan? Zheng Shiying smiled at the person walking in front. This guy wasn't completely stupid. When he pretended not to want to fight him in the ranking, he was seen through, and he led people to ambush him.

"Li Chong? Yi Ming?" Zheng Shiying frowned. It was good that he had seen the top ten of the风云榜 (Feng Yun Bang), which had their portraits.

Three of the top ten of the Feng Yun Bang at once, this was not good! Zheng Shiying thought to himself. Perhaps he should pretend to be injured and look for a chance to counter-ambush? If he could take out one of them, the pressure would be much less.

Yu Yan, seeing Zheng Shiying with blood on his lips and a weak breath, pretended to meet him by chance and sneered, "Isn't this Zheng Shiying, who has been so arrogant lately, challenging anyone who doesn't submit to him on the Feng Yun Platform?"

"Who beat you up like this? Do you need my help?"

"I suddenly remembered... I have a grudge against you! Although we are from the same school, we... have a deadly grudge..."

"Isn't that right?"

Yu Yan felt that he had never been as happy as he was now, but he also felt some regret for spending so much to hire help. Now he had to think about how to kill them.

Zheng Shiying looked at Li Chong and Yi Ming, who had stopped not far away, and sighed inwardly. These two were really cautious. They stood casually but were always ready for battle. It would be difficult to ambush them!

What if... I do the opposite? Zheng Shiying's eyes darted around, increasingly feeling that pretending to be weak was easier to deceive them than pretending to be strong.

"So, your meaning is that I must die here today?" Zheng Shiying supported himself with a branch and easily jumped down from the ancient tree, looking at the three with a sly smile.

The three faces changed simultaneously, exchanging glances filled with doubt. Just now, he looked severely injured, but now he seemed fine. Which one is real?

Li Chong stared at Zheng Shiying's feet. When he jumped down from the tree, he stood very steadily, almost too steadily! In this muddy swamp, a casual jump should have been somewhat uncomfortable. His stability... seemed like an act.

"Guys, I feel he is pretending not to be injured, trying to put pressure on us." Yu Yan's theory was quickly acknowledged by the other two companions with nods.

Li Chong touched his nose and smiled, "Regardless of whether Zheng Shiying is injured or not, can we not deal with him if the three of us work together?"

Yu Yan rotated his shoulders and slowly walked forward, feeling like a reaper of life with each step. And the Zheng Shiying in front of him... was the helpless... one waiting for death!

The three standing here, one is the fifth, one is the seventh, and one is the ninth on the Feng Yun Bang. Together, even the top three monsters on the Feng Yun Bang would be wary! What about Zheng Shiying?

Zheng Shiying secretly mobilized his true qi. Facing the top three of the Feng Yun Bang, no one would not feel pressure, but... this pressure... was exciting!

Since entering the ten rounds, Zheng Shiying had never felt such a desire to fight as he did at this moment!

Zheng Shiying was somewhat grateful to Yu Yan. The three top ten of the Feng Yun Bang appearing together really... made him feel his blood boil. This pressure... was exhilarating!

"Guys, I don't seem to have any grudges with you, right?" Zheng Shiying spoke while adjusting himself to the best fighting state.

Li Chong gently swayed his index finger, a cold smile on his face, "We are all on the Feng Yun Bang, which means we are destined to fight..."

"For those who threaten my position on the list, there is only one outcome: death!"

"So, you are determined to kill me, right?" Zheng Shiying stopped looking at Li Chong and turned to Yi Ming, "What about you?"

Yi Ming patted the pocket at his waist, a cruel smile on his face, "Money talks. I took someone's soul stone, so I can't leave."

"Besides, you have grown so much in such a short time. You must have had some good fortune. Killing you means I get your fortune. How could I let this opportunity pass?"

"So, you also want to kill me, right?" Zheng Shiying's lips curled into an excited smile. This naked killing intent helped his pre-battle preparation...

Yu Yan clapped his hands lightly and said, "Enough talk! It's time to send you on your way!"

"Attack!"

Li Chong and Yi Ming, with cold smiles, drew their weapons and charged at Zheng Shiying.

Zheng Shiying bent his knees slightly, his upper body leaning forward, and his ten rounds of true qi roared, "Come! Fight! Let me see if the three of you from the top ten of the Feng Yun Bang can help me improve again!"

Li Chong, without a word, accelerated and appeared in front of Zheng Shiying. The battle knife in his hand, with the force to move mountains, slashed down at Zheng Shiying's head.

"So weak?" Zheng Shiying's eyes flashed with disappointment. The ten rounds of true qi rotated at high speed, forming a true qi storm inside his body. The knife in his left hand, with the right hand's slash, appeared above Li Chong's battle knife.

This slash would certainly cut Li Chong in half.

Although Li Chong could not see the shadow of the invisible knife or know its speed, his intuition told him that if he did not release his martial soul, he would die from this attack.

"Shield martial soul!"

Without hesitation, Li Chong roared and released his shield martial soul.

Then, a yellow aura appeared above his head, forming a thick yellow shield when Zheng Shiying's invisible knife slashed down.

"Shield martial soul!"

Yu Yan had fought Li Chong several times but had never seen his martial soul. He never thought that the martial soul he could not force out would be forced out by Zheng Shiying's one slash!

The shield martial soul, like the rock martial soul, is a defensive common martial soul, but its defensive power is several times that of the rock martial soul, making it a high-level common martial soul! It has the reputation of being unbreakable at the same level!

"Boom!"

The shield martial soul on Li Chong's head turned to powder, and Li Chong spat blood, being directly thrown back.

The invisible knife cut through the shield martial soul without any resistance, as if it had just cut through a piece of paper.
