Xiao Yong Nian put both his hands behind his back and challenged him. “Are you seeking death?”

“Hahahahaha, I have hidden my actual strength in these recent days all along, yet you…” Jian Qi Zheng laughed while pointing his finger at Xiao Yong Nian. “I have had you thoroughly figured out and learned of your actual strength already; furthermore, I have also distinctly seen through the secret to this array of cooperative attack, so in my eyes, there are weaknesses everywhere and it’s a piece of cake to break such an array!”

“I am giving you the last chance, hand over the cultivation technique if you don’t want to die by my hand!” he demanded in a stern voice, his expression absolutely horrifying.

He gave the black sword in his hand a jerk, and, immediately, the fearful aura circulated.

Xiao Yong Nian could not help the abrupt change in his expression. This person was already at the great perfection of the Spiritual Infant Tier, and moreover had a frightening Spirit Tool, so his battle prowess absolutely exceeded ten stars! While he was only at the seventh layer of the Spiritual Infant Tier, his battle prowess was also only eight stars, and he was absolutely not his match.

There were not many geniuses among the military officers of the Purple Moon Empire, but in the case of drawn-out combat at close range, they had all developed an ironclad discipline. Teamwork was also well-coordinated; more skilled in fighting on a battlefield, they could perfectly layer up the combat strength of many people and triumph over an enemy that originally could not possibly be defeated.

However, individual combat strength… they were really mediocre unless they attained the level of king or at least general—at least those could battle an opponent five Battle Stars superior to themselves, and their battle prowess would be monstrous.

The problem was, he was only by himself now, and these new recruits had just received training, so could they be of any use? And the opponent was even aware of certain secret combinations of the array, which were extremely easy to break.

“The lot of you return to the training camp at once!” He came to a prompt decision.

“Instructor!” everyone shouted.

“Obey the command!” Xiao Yong Nian barked sternly.

Jian Qi Zheng laughed scornfully as he jeered, “Want to leave? Heng, no one can leave!” He would not want to be pursued everywhere and killed by the elites of the Purple Moon Empire; thus, he wanted to kill off everyone to silence them—in that way, naturally, no one would know about what happened today.

“Run!” Xiao Yong Nian shouted. “I will hold him back!”

“Would you be able to hold me back?” Jian Qi Zheng sneered as he raised his black sword and held it high, but he did not strike it downwards, and was appearing to be seeking a target.

Everyone’s hearts were full of alarm and fright—this was the combat strength of a peak level Spiritual Infant Tier. With a Spirit Tool in his hands, who could oppose him? This was practically like he could look at anyone and that person would die, so how could they not feel intimidated?

Ling Han prepared to strike forth—everyone had trained together for two months, so no matter what, they had also developed certain camaraderie.

Weng!

At this moment, a terrifying aura whisked by, drawing a feeling of constriction in everyone’s hearts—it was so uncomfortable that they felt like spitting blood.

An old man inconspicuously appeared, unimposing in appearance, and indifferently asked, “Which one of you is Ling Han?”

Jian Qi Zheng was just being smug. Abruptly being interrupted, he immediately felt extreme displeasure in his heart, and he coldly uttered, “Who are you, is it your place to interrupt?”

Pa!

As soon as he finished, his whole body exploded into pieces. Fresh blood splattered onto the bodies of a few people on the side, making them silently groan, their expressions unpleasant in the extreme—this was the flesh and blood of a Spiritual Infant Tier warrior, filled with a frightening aura! It almost made their bodies follow in its wake as they also wanted to burst.

Everyone was panic-stricken to the extreme as they looked upon that old man—he was really too powerful, for his one move could already instantly take care of Jian Qi Zheng, who was at the peak of the Spiritual Infant Tier. Could it be that he was at the Deity Transformation Tier or even high-level Deity Transformation Tier?

“Senior, may I know how should I address you?” Xiao Yong Nian asked as he clasped his fists. Although this old man had helped them got rid of a big disaster, Ling Han was precisely a new recruit under him, and this old man was evidently not here to have tea.

As an instructor, he was duty-bound to protect the troops under him.

The old man’s glance swept across Xiao Yong Nian, and he indifferently responded, “My surname is Yu. I do not intend to make an enemy of the Purple Moon Empire. As such, hand over Ling Han and I shall take my leave right away.”
