Facing Shi Feiyang’s offensive, they showed no fear and immediately counterattacked. Their palms and claws were agile and unpredictable like phantoms. If it weren’t for Shi Feiyang’s high martial prowess, he might have been torn to pieces instantly.
Shi Feiyang snorted coldly and shouted, "Two roadblocking dogs trying to stop me. Hmph! Today, I will show you the true power of Shi Feiyang!" With that, his palms changed suddenly, and the saber energy grew stronger.
The saber energy was like a tangible sharp blade, drawing silver arcs in the air.
Seeing this, the elder with the pale golden face shouted, and his hands swiftly danced, unleashing "Thousand Claws of Death" from the Ten Thousand Carve Technique, sending countless claw shadows tearing toward Shi Feiyang.
Shi Feiyang’s figure flashed, cleverly evading the attack, while his right palm slashed down like a saber, hitting the elder’s right arm with the howling saber energy.
"Crack!" A clear snap was heard, like a branch breaking, as the elder’s right arm was cut off instantly, blood gushing out like a fountain, staining the grass below in red. The elder let out a miserable cry, agony etched across his face.
The elder with the sunset-like face, upon witnessing his companion injured, flared with rage, shouting furiously, "Dare to harm my brother, you must pay with your life!" With that, he unleashed the ultimate skill "Lingchi of Ten Thousand Carves," and dashed toward Shi Feiyang like a beast out of control, ripping the air wherever his palms and claws passed.
Shi Feiyang’s gaze hardened, his expression turning serious, fully aware of the move’s power. He immediately gathered all his inner strength, harnessing the Divine Dragon Claw Divine Technique and the Hundred Victories Saber Technique into his ultimate skill "Dragon Saber Traverse."
He spun rapidly, his palms turning into blades, intertwining saber energy with claw shadows, while his True Qi of the Bright Jade Technique quickly formed a huge silver vortex.
The vortex emitted a powerful suction, drawing the elder with a sunset-like face into it. The elder struggled within the vortex but was unable to break free.
Shi Feiyang shouted, "Roadblocking dog, accept your fate!" His palms struck forcefully toward the elder, causing the saber energy and claw power to burst simultaneously. The elder failed to dodge, was hit in a vital spot, and instantly torn into parts, flesh and blood flying, the scene extremely gruesome.
The elder with the pale golden face, watching his companion die tragically, was filled with terror, attempting to flee.
Shi Feiyang wouldn’t let him escape, his figure flashed, appearing before the elder in an instant, coldly said, "Roadblocking dog, still want to run? That’s impossible!" Then, a palm struck out, the sharp saber energy piercing the elder’s chest directly.
The elder’s eyes widened in disbelief, slowly collapsing, his life extinguished.
Shi Feiyang drew back his palm, standing still, gaze coldly fixed on the bloody scene before him, internally unmoved.
One challenge after another, each must be overcome. After slaughtering the two "watchdogs" of the Old Wolf Stronghold, Shi Feiyang, with Xie Wen carrying Shi Xiong, dashed swiftly like lightning, disappearing into the valley.
They traversed a lush green grassland, beside which a clear stream flowed windingly.
A log bridge crossed the stream, and the three cautiously tread across it, arriving before a mountain-built thatched hut.
A wooden bed stood beneath the northern wall, layered with a worn-out quilt, cotton exposed; a shabby table beneath the southern window held a broken porcelain pot and two old clay bowls, the room otherwise empty.
Xie Wen’s expression was grave, whispering, "Old Wolf Stronghold has stood for centuries on the prairie, laden with traps and obstacles, none can easily surmount these hurdles. The Life and Death Gate ahead is bound to be perilous!"
Shi Xiong exclaimed upon hearing this, "Life and Death Gate? What does that mean?"
Xie Wen nodded solemnly, "Indeed! The Life and Death Gate, retreat brings life, advance brings death! It is the first stronghold gate of Old Wolf Stronghold. Hidden weapons rain like showers, and many experts guard it. In my opinion, it’s better for Shi Xiong to return and summon more allies."
Shi Feiyang’s expression was bold and determined, declaring, "No need for that! Since we are here, we should face it calmly and fearlessly! You two stay hidden cautiously, I’ll confront this Life and Death Gate."
With those words, he applied his lightweight technique, disappearing from the hut like a streak of white light, heading straight for the Life and Death Gate.
The Life and Death Gate stood on a hill, neither surrounded by walls nor sheltered by houses, a stone-paved path running through this gate.
Dense weeds grew around, trees flourished, exuding an aura of mystery and menace.
Now, a chaotic battle of flashing sabers and swords unfolds before the gate, the scene in disarray.
