“Lin Quan!!”

The terrified voice grew increasingly shrill.

The bloody scene before them nearly robbed everyone of their ability to think.

When they saw the gold silkworm thread tied to the doorknob, they instantly understood what had happened.

Two people!!

Li Guanqi had barged into the Purple Sun Hall’s courtyard and brutally killed two disciples at the late Foundation Establishment stage!!

Seeing the boy’s face splattered with blood, many were chilled to the bone by his methods.

Even Zhao Beichen, who was accustomed to death, had beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead!

His throat moved slightly as he drew his sword and held it in his hand.

Perhaps only this could give him a sense of security.

He had seen many ruthless killers, but in Li Guanqi, he sensed an unparalleled ferocity!

Looking at the blood-dripping gold silkworm thread on the doorframe, it seemed he wasn’t just killing for the sake of killing.

The ground was smeared with chaotic bloodstains from Lin Quan’s struggles.

A piece of flesh caught his eye, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was Lin Quan’s tongue, identical to the one in the other room.

So… Lin Quan’s death was caused by them crashing through the door.

Zhao Beichen stepped past the crowd and stood outside the door, looking down at the lifeless, blood-soaked Lin Quan.

“Left-handed sword! Could it be that he’s always been left-handed…?”

“If that’s the case… he hasn’t been using his full strength since the Inferno Challenge began!!”

This conclusion made Zhao Beichen’s heart skip a beat, realizing he had never truly understood this person from the start!

Zhao Beichen slowly raised his head and looked at Blind, who was standing a few meters away, and spoke softly.

“He’s a complete lunatic…”

“Do you know what you’re doing?”

Li Guanqi’s face was eerily calm as he replied, “I know.”

“That’s why I say you’re a complete lunatic.”

“You’re not leaving here alive today.”

Zhao Beichen pointed his sword forward, his eyes narrowing as a flash of killing intent appeared.

Boom!!

Li Guanqi’s eyes narrowed, and then he suddenly swung his sword with his left hand, shattering the wall behind him!

His body moved like a feather drifting in the air as he flew away!

Zhao Beichen shouted angrily, “Chase him! If we don’t kill him today, the entire Northern Region will laugh at the Purple Sun Hall tomorrow!”

“He won’t be able to participate in the day after tomorrow’s Inferno Challenge. If necessary, break through the realm!”

The remaining few nodded, and then their figures moved, instantly flying towards the distance!

Li Guanqi looked at the people chasing him and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips.

Behind Tianyu Mountain was a vast mountain range, a place he had chosen long ago.

Far from Tianyu Mountain, even if the elders of the Purple Sun Hall returned, it would be of no use.

Besides… he didn’t want to make things difficult for his master.

Flying through the air, Li Guanqi slowly took off his blood-stained sect robes.

Holding them in his hand, his expression was complex.

Putting on his old, tattered gray hemp clothes, he seemed to transform back into that countryside boy.

The little beggar who fought with wild dogs for food.

He threw the sect robes into the sky and crushed the identity jade token in his hand with a bang!

The last spiritual message was sent to Li Nanting.

“Your unfilial disciple, seeing the tragic state of Sui’an, cannot quell the anger in his heart.”

“To avoid causing trouble for the sect, I am leaving today without permission. I hope Master won’t blame me.”

At this moment, the sword spirit’s voice slowly sounded.

“Have you made up your mind?”

Li Guanqi, expressionless, nodded slightly as he traversed the mountains.

Seeing the seven people relentlessly pursuing him, he sped up again!!

In the blink of an eye, he left them hundreds of meters behind!

The heavy snow under the night sky further obscured everyone’s vision.

A young man named Li Hua pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

“Let’s split up and search. We’ll surround and kill him then!”

Zhao Beichen sneered, “With his strength, any one of you encountering him alone might not last five breaths. Split up?”

“Li Hua, have you gone stupid in the Tianxiao Sect?”

The thin Li Hua’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Zhao Beichen and sneered, “If you’re afraid of dying, just say so. He only ambushed and killed Lin Quan and the others.”

“You’ve seen the Inferno Challenge matches. How strong can he be?”

Seeing that the others didn’t care either, he didn’t bother to say more.

He let Li Hua make his random arrangements, finally deciding to split into pairs to search for Li Guanqi’s tracks.

Once they found him, they would immediately signal and converge to kill him!

Zhao Beichen didn’t join them and instead went alone to the west side.

As he left, he couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, “A bunch of idiots!”

Not long after they split up, faint sounds of clashing weapons came from behind Zhao Beichen!

And it was coming from the direction of the wind and snow, the real battle location unknown!

Zhao Beichen immediately followed the sound, checking his jade token along the way and finding two people’s positions just a few hundred meters behind him.

Swish, swish, swish!

Zhao Beichen’s figure shot back like a golden flash.

But when he was within a hundred meters, the sounds had already fallen silent.

Feeling something was wrong, Zhao Beichen instantly sped up.

But when he arrived, he saw only blood and dismembered limbs…

The two Purple Sun Hall disciples had died horribly, not even leaving whole bodies behind!!

Standing there, Zhao Beichen felt a chill run through his body. The other side was truly killing without any scruples!!

Suddenly!

He seemed to sense something and abruptly turned to look to his side!

Through the heavy snow, a boy in tattered hemp clothes stood thirty meters away.

Those pure white eyes stared straight at Zhao Beichen, lips moving to say a few words.

Although he didn’t hear the sound, he knew.

The other was saying ‘four.’

Zhao Beichen’s hand holding the sword trembled slightly. After seeing that figure disappear, he immediately took out his jade token and shouted, “Regroup!! Don’t get separated!!”

“Rong Jiang and Yuan Kai… are both dead!”

“He’s near me!!”

Boom!!

At this moment, Zhao Beichen suddenly erupted with powerful pressure, alert to his surroundings.

Primordial energy surged within him, even showing signs of condensing elixir!!

Thinking of this, Zhao Beichen didn’t hesitate to start breaking through!!

And he shouted into the jade token, “Break through the realm quickly!! The Foundation Establishment realm is no threat to him!!”

However, apart from Li Hua’s group, the other group had no response!

Zhao Beichen’s heart skipped a beat, thinking, “This is bad…”

Sure enough!

When he looked at the jade token to sense the others’ positions, he suddenly found the other group’s spirit light had suddenly extinguished!

And their position was nearly a thousand meters to his east!

In just a few breaths, Li Guanqi had managed to appear so far away!!
