"Boom!" The last Dark River assassin was pressed into the ground by Luo Yuheng's star map.
The star map resembled a vast starry sky, shimmering with mysterious "707" rays of light, carrying boundless power to ruthlessly suppress the enemy.
With that loud bang, the battlefield fell silent instantly, leaving only the wounded rolling on the ground, groaning in pain, and the burning remains of the wedding sedan chair.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood; the scene was a mess, as if it had just been through a brutal hell.
Just when everyone thought the battle was over, a mocking voice drifted from the woods.
"Tsk tsk, the drama of trying to steal my future sister-in-law was actually snatched away by someone else?"
The voice broke the silence, carrying a hint of mockery and surprise, drawing the attention of everyone present.
A flirtatious voice came clearly from the woods.
Everyone turned around and saw a snow-white horse leisurely strolling out.
The horse was agile and had a coat as smooth as silk, which shimmered with a captivating luster in the sunlight.
A young man in white sat on horseback. His white robes were as white as snow, fluttering in the wind, making him look like a celestial being descended to earth.
A gourd hung from his waist, swaying gently with his movements and making a crisp sound.
He held a jade fan in his hand, and the way the fan opened and closed revealed his elegant and unrestrained demeanor. It was none other than Sikong Changfeng!
Sikong Changfeng's gaze swept over Wei Changxuan and his group.
His eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry, especially lingering on the nine graceful tails of the nine-tailed fox princess for a couple of seconds, as if he was very interested in her special abilities.
Suddenly, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a hearty smile, and he laughed:
"Are you all experts descending from the sky to provide reinforcements that Miss Yueyao has invited?"
His voice, tinged with a touch of untamed spirit, echoed across the silent battlefield.
Seeing this, Wei Changxuan stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and asked politely, "I merely saw injustice on the road. And who are you, sir?"
His tone was calm, yet it conveyed a sense of composure and humility.
"Snow Moon City, Sikong Changfeng." The young man tilted his head back and took a swig of wine, the liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth, adding to his heroic air. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he pointed sharply to the sky, shouting, "Watch out!"
Almost simultaneously, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—" three jet-black arrows pierced the air like lightning.
It moved with incredible speed, aiming straight for Yueyao's back. This sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
Yueyao's expression changed drastically, and she froze on the spot, unable to dodge in time.
Sikong Changfeng reacted quickly; he had only waved his jade fan halfway when Wei Changxuan's lightning tribulation wooden sword flew up on its own.
The wooden sword seemed to come alive, its blade bursting with dazzling lightning as it met the arrow with immense power.
The lightning collided with the arrow, producing a series of crisp sounds, and actually shattered the arrow in mid-air.
Even more astonishingly, the shattered arrows were swept back by an invisible force, like arrows returning to their nests, and shot towards the distant bushes. 4.
Immediately afterwards, several screams came from the bushes in the distance, clearly indicating that someone had been shot and wounded.
"Telekinesis? No, this is..."
Sikong Changfeng was so shocked that he almost dropped his wine gourd. His eyes widened as he stared at the scene before him in disbelief.
He had roamed the martial arts world for many years and considered himself knowledgeable, but he had never seen such amazing martial arts skills.

She grinned and leaned closer, like a mischievous child, blinking her eyes as she said:
"Little sister, isn't my 'Reversing Heaven and Earth' move cool?"
Her voice was clear and melodious, with a touch of playfulness and pride, adding a touch of relaxation to the tense atmosphere.
Yueyao finally came to her senses. She straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, bowed solemnly to everyone, and said gratefully:
"Thank you all for saving me. May I ask your names?"
Her eyes were filled with gratitude and respect. This sudden crisis was resolved thanks to the help of everyone. She was filled with curiosity and gratitude towards these 17 strangers who saved her life.
Wei Changxuan's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a gentle smile. He then gracefully cupped his hands and said in a clear voice:
These are all my companions!
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Yueyao's eyes, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
In her years of wandering the martial world, she had never heard of such extraordinary and unique individuals.
Especially the nine-tailed fox princess, who can freely control foxfire and lightning. Just imagining that power is incredible and unheard of.
At this moment, Sikong Changfeng nimbly dismounted and strolled around the crowd with light steps, his eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.
Finally, he stopped steadily in front of Wei Changxuan, his eyes revealing admiration, and exclaimed:
"Brother Wei is indeed exceptionally skilled! The sword technique you just displayed was both fierce and graceful."
"It's even more refined than the Sword Control Technique of our Snowmoon City! I'm truly impressed!"
A faint smile played on Luo Yuheng's lips as she gently swayed her fox tail, her elegant posture resembling a beautiful painting.
She spoke softly, her voice as clear and melodious as a mountain spring: "You flatter me, it's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."
We are simply curious as to why Miss Yueyao would be so relentlessly pursued by that mysterious force.
Upon hearing this, Yueyao couldn't help but sigh softly, a sigh filled with helplessness and exhaustion.
Immediately afterwards, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, like frost on a cold night, sending chills down one's spine.
"The Dark River's all-out attack this time is not simply aimed at me personally; their real goal is to prevent me from going to Apocalypse City."
"Tianqi City?" Wei Changxuan subconsciously raised an eyebrow, pondering to himself.
He knew the plot of this world, and it seemed that the story had now progressed to the crucial stage where the Dark River and the Northern Li royal family were secretly colluding.
Baili Dongjun, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke in a deep voice:
"Yueyao is going to Tianqi for the 707th time with a heavy responsibility: to discuss with the King of Langya the grand plan to fight against the Dark River."
However, the Dark River had many informants and was well-informed, and clearly did not want this news to reach Tianqi smoothly, so they spared no effort to send people to intercept and kill them halfway.
Upon hearing this, Sikong Changfeng tilted his head back and gulped down a mouthful of wine. Then, wiping his lips, he looked at Wei Changxuan with a grin, his eyes full of enthusiasm and anticipation.
"Brother Wei, you are new here and may not yet fully understand the situation in the martial world."
Since that's the case, why don't you come with us to Apocalypse City!
With your exceptional abilities, you can definitely inflict a crushing defeat on those ruthless guys in the Dark River and thoroughly dampen their spirits!
Chapter 287 The Shock of Everyone! The Strength of Wei Changxuan and the Others!
Upon hearing this, Wei Changxuan subconsciously exchanged a glance with Luo Yuheng.
Luo Yuheng understood immediately, nodded slightly, and gave him an affirmative answer.
A resolute glint flashed in Wei Changxuan's eyes, followed by a hearty smile, and he spoke in a booming voice:
"That's exactly what I was thinking! The Dark River has always been ruthless and vicious, and will stop at nothing to achieve its goals."
They have committed countless evil deeds in the martial arts world over the years. If their conspiracy succeeds this time...
The entire martial arts world is likely to fall into endless chaos and darkness, and countless innocent civilians and martial arts practitioners will suffer greatly.
Now that we've encountered this situation, we absolutely cannot stand idly by.
Three days later, as dawn broke, the first rays of sunlight bathed the square of Snowmoon City.
The group then officially set off for Tianqi City.
Snowmoon City attached great importance to this matter and dispatched a group of elite guards. They were dressed in uniform tight-fitting clothes, with sharp blades at their waists, standing tall and straight, their eyes revealing determination and loyalty.
The person leading the team was none other than Baili Dongjun.
He was imposing and exuded a calm and composed aura, as if any difficulty could be easily overcome with his presence.
Yueyao and Sikong Changfeng also accompanied them. Yueyao looked solemn, clearly still worried about being chased by the Dark River.
Sikong Changfeng remained as carefree as ever, with his beloved wine flask hanging at his waist. He would occasionally tilt his head back and take a sip, seemingly unconcerned about the impending danger.
Looking at Wei Changxuan and his group, their mode of travel was quite unique, drawing gasps of amazement from the disciples of Snow Moon City.
Wei Changxuan was surrounded by surging spiritual energy, and he was able to fly through the air. His figure appeared exceptionally graceful in the sunlight, as if an immortal had descended to earth.
Luo Yuheng then used magic to summon a magnificent colorful cloud, upon which she stood gracefully.
As the breeze gently swayed, her ethereal beauty left everyone around her mesmerized.
Jiang Fang rode a lithe, unicorn-like horse. The horse neighed and galloped away at great speed, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Vinina's methods were even more peculiar; she possessed a telepathic connection with a giant bird.
Sitting directly on the back of a bird, soaring freely in the sky, sometimes diving, sometimes circling, with constant exclamations of surprise.
Meanwhile, Yao Rao was riding a giant python whose scales gleamed with a cold light and whose tongue flicked out, making it look extremely terrifying.
But under her seductive control, it became as docile as a kitten, carrying her steadily forward.
The most eye-catching is the nine-tailed fox princess. She is graceful and her nine tails dance freely in the air, radiating a mesmerizing light.
A ball of ghostly blue foxfire rose from beneath her feet, carrying her slowly through the air. The foxfire changed shape and flickered and leaped, drawing gasps of amazement from onlookers.
As the group continued their journey, the nine-tailed fox princess lightly stomped her foot, and foxfire suddenly erupted beneath her feet.
She then lightly leaped to Wei Changxuan's side.
She leaned closer and whispered, "Changxuan, I have a feeling something is off. The people from Dark River wouldn't give up so easily."
Given their modus operandi, they will undoubtedly take further action.
Her eyes were filled with worry and vigilance as she looked around at the surrounding mountains and forests, as if enemies might suddenly appear from the shadows at any moment.
Wei Changxuan's expression was solemn. He slowly nodded, his gaze fixed on the distant Zhao, as if he could see through the thick fog and foresee the impending danger.
“You’re right, they must have a backup plan. The Dark River has been operating for many years, its influence is deeply entrenched, and its informants are spread all over the place.”
We've ruined their plans this time, so how could they let it go?
We must be extremely careful on the journey ahead and not let our guard down.
As he spoke, he gripped his sword tightly, an invisible aura emanating from him, as if he were ready to face any challenge.
