Chapter 559: Unknown Crisis

After that palm strike, Kai Xin didn’t dare delay. He sat cross-legged in place and began practicing the “Jinhua Jiuyang Gong” to restore his internal energy!
Although the previous move, “Dragon Fighting in the Wild,” hadn’t put him at a disadvantage during the clash, its cost was high—100 points of internal energy were instantly depleted. Coupled with the blow from the demonic sect expert, his vital energy became chaotic, making it difficult to sustain his qi, and much more internal energy was lost. In other words, this move had pushed Kai Xin’s internal energy to the brink of life and death. The opponent couldn’t be underestimated.
He had to restore his internal energy as quickly as possible; otherwise, even self-preservation would be a problem!
However…
Kai Xin was confident that the opponent must have suffered greatly too from his own palm strike. Having endured the full-force “Dragon Fighting in the Wild,” the opponent was likely badly injured.
Indeed!
The demonic sect expert, pushed back by the palm strike, seemed to realize that these young people were not easy to deal with. Bloodied and disheveled, he rushed out of the damaged house but didn’t dare approach further.
“So you’re one of the Five Elders of the Tianmo Sect.”
Yang Xiao’s expression changed as he finally recognized the opponent’s identity. “The Tianmo Sect… so they’ve allied with the Yin Gui Sect and the Huajian Sect?”
“Hmph,” the man sneered. “You, Yang Xiao, once the Left Envoy of the Ming Sect, the notorious leader of the demonic sect despised by everyone in the martial world—now you dare to consider yourself a righteous person? How ridiculous!”
Yang Xiao remained calm and replied leisurely, “Everyone in the Ming Sect follows the orders of our sect leader. Whether we’re righteous or evil has nothing to do with your Tianmo Sect! Leave it to us to worry about.” Unfazed by worldly conventions, Yang Xiao wouldn’t be provoked by a demonic sect expert.
“Left Envoy Yang, don’t waste time on them. Lead everyone in a breakout quickly. I’ll take care of this man.”
Zhang Wuji stepped forward. Under his focused energy, the man’s expression turned extremely ugly as he quickly realized that this young man’s strength might even surpass his own.
“Who are you…?”
“You don’t even recognize my sect leader? How surprising for one of the Tianmo Five Elders!” Yang Xiao sneered mockingly, then ignored him further. With a low shout, he led the Ming Sect experts to continue their breakout.
“Kai Xin…”
Mo Mo warned him worriedly, only to see him end his practice and open his eyes. His gaze carried an indescribable seriousness and vigilance. “You go ahead. I’ll follow soon.”
His words carried an unconscious sense of heaviness.

The silver fox, who had been carried along by Lin Xiao, suddenly “woke up,” and Lin Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the silver fox look around in confusion, as well as the Hero Villa filled with flames and deafening cries of battle, he hurriedly said, “It’s good you woke up in time. As long as nothing’s wrong, we’ll explain everything to you later. For now, just come with us.”

The silver fox nodded in confusion, then suddenly tensed up like a drawn bow, staring intently at a nearby damaged house with a serious expression and furrowed brows.

“What’s wrong?”

Everyone was stunned.

The silver fox was about to speak when it was suddenly interrupted by a system message. Its gaze darkened as it replied, “Nothing.” While speaking, it glanced quickly at Kai Xin before adding, “You go ahead. I’ll stay with Kai Xin and catch up later.” Its tone was the same as Kai Xin’s.

At that moment, Xiao Bei, Lei Zhan, and the others realized something.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine. You go ahead,” Kai Xin said, noticing the unusual expressions on their faces. “It’s just a mission. We’ll catch up later. Be careful and protect Feng Ling.”

Facing Kai Xin’s determined and serious gaze, the group hesitated no longer. They nodded and rushed to catch up with the main force ahead.

Those who stayed behind were not only Kai Xin and the silver fox but also Zhou Yu, Lu Mingyue, Mei Ying, Meng Yun, and Yi Di, who acted like a cold machine. Yi Di’s reaction was the most abnormal—his gaze was icy, devoid of any warmth, as if he were in a state of high alert, giving off an extremely dangerous aura that made people afraid to approach him.

“Yi Di,” Kai Xin said.

He moved slightly, his gaze softening a bit as he looked at Kai Xin.

“We can’t afford to waste time. Let’s act together and force him to show himself.”

“…”

Yi Di frowned, then saw Kai Xin point at the silver fox. Understanding what was meant, he nodded slowly after considering it, agreeing that the three of them should act together.

Meng Yun and Zhou Yu looked extremely displeased. The last thing they wanted was for Yi Di to get too close to Kai Xin. However, they had never really talked to Yi Di before and always thought he wouldn’t get close to anyone! It was unclear why Kai Xin kept gaining Yi Di’s favor, and now he had agreed to his proposal for the first time.

But jealousy was temporary. They still had to find a way to overcome this difficulty.

…

Kai Xin, the silver fox, and Yi Di, fully armed, gathered in a triangular formation around the battlefield where Zhang Wuji was fighting against the demonic masters.

The battle between Zhang Wuji and the master of the demonic sect was initially in a slight stalemate. But as the three others approached, the master’s expression changed—he quickly sensed a heavy pressure and threat emanating from them.
The young man on the left, Kaixin—was a serious threat. The master of the demonic sect was well aware that he had not only withstood his full-power palm strike but also been injured by head-on confrontation!
The man on the right wore a strange, incomplete silver mask. Though he wasn’t very famous, an aura from him disrupted people’s internal energy…
As for the last man!
He stood there quietly, like a drawn sword behind him. All the hairs on his back stood on end. Distraught, he took several blows from Zhang Wuji, his mouth filled with blood, in a state of utter disarray.
Outside the combat circle, Meng Yun, Zhou Yu, Lu Mingyue, Yuye Xiu Luo, and Mei Ying also reached their peak states. They closed their eyes, concentrating on any changes around them, not daring to miss the slightest detail.
The eerie atmosphere grew increasingly intense.
Finally, with a thunderous roar, “Hurry up and attack!!!” The master of the demonic sect could hold on no longer. As he roared, another astonishingly loud voice suddenly came from a nearby house: “What are you afraid of? Can some little Zhang Wuji really kill you?!” The authoritative voice carried a hint of disdain and mockery.
Outside the combat circle, everyone’s energy was instantly drawn toward that direction…
Everyone opened their eyes. Powerful auras and fierce attacks were all directed at that man!
But…
The three who had been surrounding the master of the demonic sect fighting Zhang Wuji—Kaixin, Silver Fox, and One Emperor—never even glanced at the newcomer. At that moment when everyone’s energy was drawn away, the three of them simultaneously focused on a pile of rubble nearby.
A black sword shadow, like a venomous snake, silently attacked Zhang Wuji from the shadows, fast as lightning!
The three of them moved at the same time!!
