In an instant, Xiao Ranbing's body was sent flying.
He crashed heavily onto the distant ground.
The impact left a large crater on the ground.
The martial artists of the Ice Dragon Empire who witnessed this scene were wide-eyed with disbelief.
Their strongest Martial Saint, the one who had slain the guardian deity of the Canglong Empire, had now been sent flying by a young man!
At this moment, Baili Changqing glanced at the powerful martial artists of the Ice Dragon Empire, then raised his sword, Jimié, and swung it through the air.
[Nether Flame Soul Slash]!
Whoosh—
In that instant, a terrifying flame erupted and shot toward the distant martial artists.
These warriors were mostly at the peak of the Martial King realm!
Their reaction speed was quick, and they instinctively unleashed their Yuan energy, forming protective shields.
However, the white flame that shot forward at high speed quickly engulfed their area.
Their Yuan energy shields were no match for the force of the white flames.
Soon, the shields melted away!
"Ahhh!!!"
As soon as the white flame dissolved their Yuan energy shields, it clung to their bodies.
In an instant, cries of agony filled the air as the martial artists began rolling on the ground.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Baili Changqing didn't stop. He continued swinging his sword, relentlessly unleashing the terrifying white flames.
The bodies of many martial artists were quickly reduced to charred remains.

[Absorbed Martial King-level martial artist's blood essence, gained 100 energy points]

…
As the martial artists fell, Jimié absorbed their blood essence.
Part of the essence was even fed back to Baili Changqing.
Baili Changqing had to absorb large amounts of blood essence to maintain his Bloodthirsty Frenzy state.
"D-Damn it…"
Xiao Ranbing had risen to his feet by now.
His gaze shifted toward Baili Changqing. Seeing his martial artists being burned by the white flames, Xiao Ranbing's face darkened.
What had just happened?!
How had this kid suddenly unleashed such terrifying power?
[Eighth-level Martial Technique: Backstab]!
Before Xiao Ranbing could make a move, Baili Changqing vanished from his spot in an instant.
Behind me!
Xiao Ranbing's reaction was swift. He swung his sword behind him.
Clang—
Their weapons collided once again.
The powerful force still sent Xiao Ranbing's body reeling backward.
[Ninth-level Martial Technique: Dragon Flame Slash]!
Stabilizing himself, Xiao Ranbing infused his sword with purple flames.
As he swung his sword, the purple flames surged, forming a massive dragon that shot toward Baili Changqing!
"It's useless."
Baili Changqing spoke calmly.
With a single slash from Jimié, he split the purple flame dragon in half!
Impossible!
Xiao Ranbing's eyes widened in disbelief.
He had just sliced through the Martial Technique power he had unleashed!
As Xiao Ranbing stood in shock, Baili Changqing charged at him again, wielding Jimié.
Baili Changqing's fierce swordsmanship manifested as relentless strikes.
Xiao Ranbing was forced onto the defensive, but every time his weapon clashed with Jimié, he could feel the terrifying sword energy being transmitted through it.
His body was covered in numerous cuts from the sword energy.
If this keeps up, I might actually be killed!
Realizing the danger, sweat started forming on Xiao Ranbing's forehead.
"Finally found you!"
"So, this is where you've been!"
At that moment, two loud shouts echoed from the sky.
The voices sounded somewhat familiar.
Upon hearing them, Baili Changqing's expression shifted slightly.
Two powerful auras surged from opposite sides of the sky.
But Baili Changqing, in the midst of attacking Xiao Ranbing, had no way to defend against them.
Boom—
In the next instant, Baili Changqing was struck by two terrifying forces and was sent flying.
"Atam, Marqi!"
Xiao Ranbing looked up at the sky and saw the two Martial Saints descending.
"Lord Xiao!"
The two Martial Saints landed beside Xiao Ranbing and greeted him respectfully.
"You traitors!"
Ye Longcang's eyes widened as he recognized them.
These two Martial Saints had once belonged to the Canglong Empire but had since allied themselves with Lord Changbo.
The two Martial Saints glanced coldly at Ye Longcang before sneering.
To them, killing Ye Longcang was a simple matter.
But right now, their priority was to kill Baili Changqing.
"The sword that kid is wielding isn't an ordinary sword; it's a demon sword."
Atam's gaze fell on Xiao Ranbing as he spoke.
"A demon sword?!"
Xiao Ranbing was momentarily stunned.
"The very demon sword that caused the downfall of the Dilang Empire."
Marqi continued.
They had searched for so long but hadn't been able to find it, and now it had appeared here.
"So it's that sword. Who would've thought it really exists?"
"No wonder that kid's power is so strong."
Xiao Ranbing spoke coldly.
"He's the one who killed our lord."
Atam added, his eyes filled with not just murderous intent but also greed.
He wanted that demon sword for himself.
At that moment, Baili Changqing, who had been sent flying, slowly stood up.
"Jimié, you want to absorb their blood essence, right? These are Martial Saint-level warriors."
Though injured, Baili Changqing looked down at Jimié and spoke.
"Of course I want to absorb their blood essence! Killing them will allow me to evolve immediately!"
Ye Fan's voice echoed with excitement.
Although Baili Changqing couldn't hear Ye Fan's words, he could feel the excitement in the trembling sword, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Then let's kill them all!"
