The saber energy moved swiftly and arrived in a flash.

Linggu Haonan shouted a warning, ”Jinxi, watch out!”

Zhu Jinxi was forced to withdraw his hammer and swing it at the incoming slash instead.

Bang!

The two attacks collided, creating a deafening sound that rumbled and reverberated throughout the area. A sharp pain a.s.sailed Zhu Jinxi's hands as the impact of the collision tore his skin and threw his hammer away. Hua Cheng took advantage of the presented opening and plucked the zither strings, sending an array of sound attacks at Zhu Jinxi.

The combined attacks wounded Zhu Jinxi's body and ears, causing him to wail in pain as a large amount of blood gushed out of him. Yun Feng, who was supposed to be attacking Murong Qing and Yue Yuze, was forced to switch his target and attack Hua Cheng, preventing her from continuing her attack on Zhu Jinxi. Not daring to be too reckless, Yun Feng dragged Zhu Jinxi and retreated as soon as he blocked Hua Cheng's attack.

”Well done. You dare resist us? Are you not afraid of getting slaughtered?” said Linggu Haonan with a cold gaze.

Their search for Xiang Shaoyun had been met with numerous complications. Because of that, he was already in a bad temper. Now that someone in this small city was actually opposing them, his fury surged.

At this time, the newcomer who had helped Hua Cheng had finally arrived from the distance. He was like an excellent saber; his entire person emanated an aura so sharp it was hard for one to look straight at him.

He looked about 30 years old, and his face was resolute, his bearing proud and lofty. With a crude-looking saber hanging on his back, he emanated the aura of a remarkable saber master. If Xiang Shaoyun was here, he would call this person Saber Emperor Du Xuanhao in shock.

That's right. This person was none other than Du Xuanhao the Saber Emperor, one of the top three experts of the Cloud Margin City. He was a late-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert with combat prowess far beyond Hua Cheng. It was no wonder he could defeat Zhu Jinxi with a single move.

”Brother Du!” Hua Cheng cried out in excitement when she saw who the newcomer was. Apart from her, the three other Emperors of Cloud Margin Pavilion were also overjoyed to see him. They all believed that with Du Xuanhao here, their crisis would be over.

Du Xuanhao nodded at Hua Cheng before glancing at Linggu Haonan's group. He asked, ”Who are they? Why are they attacking you?”

”We don't know. They claimed to be looking for someone, but when they failed, they decided to destroy the Cloud Margin Pavilion instead,” said Hua Cheng.

”Hehe, it doesn't matter who we are. What's important is that you tell us where that person is, and we will leave immediately after. Or else, today is the day this place faces destruction,” said Linggu Haonan coldly. He looked at Du Xuanhao with contempt and added, ”Not even a seventh-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator can change that.”

The moment Linggu Haonan said those words, the faces of the Cloud Margin Pavilion people turned unsightly. If even the seventh-stage Dragon Ascension Realm was not a high enough cultivation level, how strong were these people?

”Is that so? Interesting, I really want to see how strong you are,” said Du Xuanhao.

”Looks like you won't be obedient without first being taught a lesson. Fine, attack together. I alone will crush everyone here,” said Linggu Haonan, who had finally decided to attack personally.

He did not have the patience to waste any more time. If the Dragon Society found out they had crossed the border, they would be the ones to suffer.

”I alone am enough,” said Du Xuanhao. He focused his gaze on Linggu Haonan and erupted with strength, causing a fiery saber energy to soar out of him.
