They had been on the road for the entire morning and had not eaten for an entire day. The two of them were already feeling rather tired. Wang Tianba said to Lu Yifeng behind him:

"Yifeng, why don't we find some food to replenish our hunger before continuing our journey?"

Lu Yifeng already had the intention to rest. It was just that he was afraid of the Anle County's pursuers catching up, so he didn't stop. However, there weren't any movements along the way. He felt that he was mostly safe.

After observing for a while, he noticed that there was a temple building not far ahead, so he suggested going to the temple to rest.

"Alright, there's a temple ahead, let's go there and rest"

The two of them arrived in front of the temple. The temple in front of them was dilapidated and dilapidated. The gate was split in half and collapsed on the left and right sides. Lu Yifeng and Wang Tianba dismounted from their horses and entered the temple.

As soon as Wang Tianba stepped through the door, the dust on the ground flew up into the air. Wang Tianba quickly covered his nose with his hands.

"Cough, cough!"

He coughed twice and said:

"It seems like no one has offered incense in this temple for a long time. Let's rest here for a while and go out later to find something to eat."

Inside the temple, there was a statue of Buddha. The statue was covered in dust and spider webs, and it was also a dilapidated statue. The two of them ignored the dust and sat on the ground. After a while, their stomachs started rumbling.

Lu Yifeng rubbed his stomach and looked at Wang Tianba.

"Why don't we go find some food? It's been a whole day since we last ate."

Wang Tianba was already hungry, the two of them left their horses in the temple, and walked around the forest for a long time, only finding a few wild fruits to eat, barely enough to fill their stomachs.

"Sect Master, can you eat to your heart's content with just a few fruits?"

Lu Yifeng asked Wang Tianba.

Wang Tian Ba said with a look of disdain: "Don't call me Sect Leader, we are going to die, you should call me brother, after all, I am not much older than you."

"Uncle, may I ask how old you are this year?!"

Lu Yifeng teased Wang Tianba.

The two of them joked around in the forest while searching for something to eat. Suddenly, Wang Tianba stopped, lowering his body as he reached out to stop Lu Yifeng.

"Shh!" "Take a look."

Lu Yifeng looked in the direction Wang Tianba had pointed. He saw two groups of people on horseback staring at each other in the air. A group of people were dressed strangely. They held a variety of weapons, including axes, longswords, sabers, hammers, and other unknown weapons.

The other group wore long white coats. They were clean and tidy, and their weapons were all long swords. The two groups of people were about the same in numbers, and the leaders of the two groups were talking to each other through the air.

Lu Yifeng was unclear about the identities of the people in front of him. He asked Wang Tianba beside him, "Are they here to capture us? "What should we do?!"

Wang Tianba knew that this place was a few hundred miles away from An Le County. It was impossible for the soldiers of An Le County to come here to capture them.

He said:

"I don't think so. Look at their attire, all the soldiers in An Le County are lifeless. They don't look that energetic."

Wang Tianba and Lu Yifeng approached them quietly and hid behind a large tree to observe from the shadows. Although they were still twenty meters away from the crowd, they could clearly hear what the two leaders were saying.

The group on the left were strangely dressed, their leader of medium height, his face as pale as flour, his veins protruding. The most unusual thing about him was that his lips were dark and bloodless, giving people a sense of dread.

The leader on the right looked refined, and his facial features were quite obvious, giving him a somewhat handsome appearance.

The left chief said:

"Humph!" This is really a narrow path for enemies. To think that I would run into people from Jiang-Nan Sword Pavilion here. "May I ask who you are?"

It was obvious that the group of people wearing the long white coats belonged to the famous Jiang-Nan Sword Pavilion.

The expression in the eyes of the head of the Jiang-Nan Sword Pavilion was somewhat uneasy. As if he was worried about something, he said:

"I am the sixth disciple of Jiang-Nan Sword Pavilion, Chen Mingsheng. Your Devil Island belongs to an evil faction. Since ancient times, we have never been on the same side. If you don't want to offend our Jiang-Nan Sword Pavilion, then scram."

"Hahaha..."

The demon island leader laughed.

"So it's Yu Wenbin's sixth disciple. I thought it was someone who was so arrogant." "I am the Yan of demon spirit stones. Your Jiangnan Sword Pavilion and the other six great sects call themselves the righteous sects. In truth, all of you know very well in your hearts that they are just a bunch of hypocrites."

When the man called Chen Ming Sheng heard the other party's words, he became angry from embarrassment and said:

"Don't insult my Jiang-Nan Sword Pavilion's reputation. Today, I shall kill the evil sect members on behalf of the Heavens."

In a split-second, the two groups of people both drew their weapons and battled. The two hidden behind the huge tree were shocked, as this was the first time they had witnessed a true battle between two martial artists.

This battle was filled with swords and sabers clashing. The scene was extremely intense. The martial arts of the Evil Devil Island and the Jiang-Nan Sword Pavilion didn't seem to match at all.

Chen Ming Sheng and Shi Zhi Yan were fighting alone, the two of them raised their sabers and chopped at each other, the wind from their sabers blew everywhere they went causing the ground to be covered with a thick layer of dust, and the trees on the roadside were also cut down by the wind from their sabers.

"The Jiang-Nan Sword Pavilion truly lives up to its name. Even the sixth disciple is this powerful. I heard that you're one of the six swordsmen in Jiang-Nan. It's a pity that you ran into me today."

Shi Zhiyan held his saber and flew towards Chen Mingsheng.

"Then bring it on."

Chen Mingsheng also raised his sword to meet the enemy, shouting, "Jiang-Nan sword technique!"

Chen Ming Sheng's sword was like a white snake, thrusting towards Shi Yan in an indistinct manner. Shi Zhiyan parried the sword with his saber, retreating as he fought. After a few moves, he suddenly turned his strength into offense.

"Sky Breaking Slash!"

Shi Zhiyan used the Sky Splitting Slash and the blade in his hand suddenly released a white light. The Sky Splitting Slash was even more powerful, breaking Chen Mingsheng's sword into two halves. Chen Ming Sheng was just about to react, when another Sky Breaking Slash struck towards him, straight at his chest. Chen Ming Sheng was sent flying three meters away, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

Seeing that he had gained the upper hand, Shi Zhiyan said in a mocking tone,

"Yu Wenbin is famous for his swordsmanship, but his disciple …"

Shi Zhiyan did not continue. Instead, he smiled with pride. "Hahaha."

Lu Yifeng and Wang Tianba, who were hiding at the side and watching the battle from the sidelines, were dumbstruck. Other than being amazed at the strength of the human martial arts on the battlefield, they couldn't help but worry for Chen Mingsheng's safety.

"Sect Master, do you think that the man in white will die?!"

Wang Tianba looked at the injured Chen Mingsheng and said, "It looks like he's very likely capable. Look at him, he's already vomiting blood. After suffering from the enemy's slash, even if he doesn't die, he'll still be crippled."

Chen Mingsheng, who was lying on the ground, was unwilling to be defeated. He used his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth and suddenly jumped into the air. When Shi Zhiyan saw this, his blood boiled. He pushed the saber into the air, and the blade instantly became still. Surprisingly, it didn't fall down.

"I want you to die a horrible death!"

Chen Ming Sheng, who was in the air, let out a furious roar. His hands moved back and forth, and suddenly, a few rays of white light surrounded him. As his hands began to move more and more, more and more light appeared in his hands. In an instant, the surrounding trees all started to shake as if they were being blown by a strong wind, and started to make 'Sha Sha' sounds.

Lu Yifeng and Wang Tianba quickly retreated a few meters, afraid that they would be blown away by the strong wind. The two of them thought to themselves: After escaping from the execution ground with great difficulty, wouldn't it be a pity if I died here without knowing why?

"Heavenly Thunder Palm!"

Chen Ming Shen shouted, and used all his strength to send the light in his hand towards Shi Yan.

Shi Zhiyan did not dare to hesitate, he quickly gathered a red light to face Chen Mingsheng's Heavenly Thunder Palm. The two red and white lights clashed and sent out a shockwave, and it was as if the ground was blown apart by gunpowder as explosions occurred. The other people that were fighting were all injured by the shockwave and fell to the ground.

At the moment, they were evenly matched, but the blade that Shi Zhiyan had pushed through the air earlier had suddenly turned red, and like an arrow, it shot towards Chen Mingsheng. In desperation, Chen Mingsheng had no choice but to take out a hand to block the flying dagger.

At this time, the red light was suppressing the white light, and Chen Ming Sheng was also powerless to defend against this wave of attack. Being struck by the red light, he fell to the ground, and once again spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, falling onto the ground and closing his eyes.

Shi Zhiyan was also sweating profusely, his face turning even paler. After the battle, there were very few people who could stand. After Shi Zhiyan killed all the survivors from Jiangnan Sword Pavilion, he led the remaining men on horseback and left the scene.

The two watching the fight seemed to not be done yet. Such an intense and spectacular fight gave the two a sliver of fear. Looking at the dozens of corpses on the ground, their hearts jumped. But they quickly overcome their fear and rejoiced, for they saw the burden of the dead.

"Sect Master, do you think we should change our identities? Our clothes are still worn by prisoners, it would be bad if someone saw us."

Wang Tianba said:

"Alright, let's go check out what's in the bag. There might be some food as well."

The two of them observed the area for a while and discovered that the surroundings were safe. Then, they swaggered over to the bodies of the dead bodies of the Jiang-Nan Sword Pavilion in search of something that they could use.

Each bundle contained a clean set of white clothes and two sesame seed cakes. Lu Yifeng and Wang Tianba immediately threw the clothes they were wearing into the nearby bushes and changed into the Jiang Nan Sword Pavilion's white coats. The two of them felt that something was wrong, so they looked at each other and teased each other.

Lu Yufeng looked at Wang Tianba and laughed, "Hahaha! "Sect Leader, you look very awkward in this outfit. It feels very weird."

Wang Tianba was very self-aware and said:

"Aren't you the same? Your temperament doesn't match up to the clothes. It seems like the two of us don't look like princes even with the dragon robe on."

The two of them picked up the sesame seed cakes and ate a few bites before finally filling their stomachs. After eating their fill, the two of them wanted to leave this place.

Wang Tian Ba wiped his mouth and said:

"Let's hurry on our way towards the south. No one knows us now, we don't have to worry about being chased by the soldiers anymore."

"Yes."

Lu Yifeng replied, then closed his eyes and clasped his hands to thank the dead man.

"Everyone, please do not blame me for taking your things. In the future, I will definitely repay you for saving my life."

Just as the two of them were about to turn around and leave, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound of horse hooves in front of them.

"It's not good to run, it might be the devil that came back."

Wang Tianba pulled Lu Yifeng's clothes and ran, but the sound of the horse's hooves was already behind them. The two of them also felt a strong sense of pressure from behind their backs, so they immediately froze and stared blankly where they were.

"Halt, what are you two doing?!"

A female voice came from behind them. Lu Yifeng and Wang Tianba tactfully raised their hands and slowly turned around. At the moment they turned around, both of them were stunned.

Twenty to thirty people mounted on horses appeared before the two of them. They wore the same clothes as the people from Jiang-Nan Sword Pavilion, and the one leading the group was a young lady mounted on a white horse.

She was seventeen or eighteen years old, and was both pretty and mischievous. Her long, jet-black hair was draped over her shoulders, and her skin was white and greasy. She was a standard beauty; her straight nose and thin, oily lips made the two of them lose their souls.
