Chapter 857: The Thirteen Eagles

On the Dragon Ranking, aside from the “Male and Female Demons” who had recently become extremely famous, there were also some masters who rose like comets—equally powerful yet keeping a low profile.
The thirteen riders before them were known in the martial world as the “Thirteen Eagles”!
Each of them had a renowned title!
The handsome man at the forefront was called the “Jade-Faced Eagle King.” He was masterful in the “Hand-Release Sword Technique,” killing over a dozen top-ranked experts on the Dragon Ranking and securing a spot among the top twenty.
The second was the “Iron-Winged Eagle,” who wielded the Seven-Winged Phoenix Blade—a weapon with sharp edges and devastating power. More than thirty famous martial artists had died at its hands due to the “Phoenix Soaring in the Sky” technique, earning him the 37th place on the Dragon Ranking.
The third was the “Blood Eagle,” who practiced the “Blood Hand Seal” at the master level. His blood-stained hands were coated in deadly poison; wherever they appeared, disaster followed. He currently ranked 40th on the Dragon Ranking…
The fourth was the “Lightning Thunder Eagle,” who focused solely on mastering fast sword techniques. Xiao San had once been his target, but after killing him with a single strike, he earned the name “Lightning Thunder Eagle Sword,” reflecting his incredible speed and agility in combat. He ranked 43rd on the Dragon Ranking.
The remaining nine were either on the Evil Demons Ranking or the Masters Ranking. It was widely recognized in the martial world that each of them possessed strength comparable to those on the Dragon Ranking…
It was precisely because of the astonishing overall strength of the Thirteen Eagles that they gradually became one of the most powerful martial teams, second only to the four top gangs in fame.
“Experts…”
Although the Male and Female Demons were quite famous and ranked high, they still felt somewhat fearful in the face of the Thirteen Eagles!
Noticing the hostile looks from each of the thirteen, the two took a deep breath:
“Friends of the Thirteen Eagles, the Male and Female Demons are here on a mission. We hope you’ll make things easier for us…”
“Male and Female Demons?”
Hearing this, the handsome man at the front laughed loudly and said without turning to his companions, “Did you hear that? The Male and Female Demons are here. That purple-haired guy practices the Evil King’s ‘Immortal Seal Technique.’ His ranking on the Dragon Ranking isn’t much lower than mine. There’s also someone who hasn’t even made it onto the list. Now’s our chance.”
“Forget it. With the Immortal Seal Technique, we’re not confident. Let Second Brother and Third Brother take care of it.”
“Right. That woman and the Mongol—let us deal with them.” As soon as he spoke, two people rushed forward from the back of the group. Without hesitation, they turned their necks and headed toward the red-haired woman and Rong Sen.
“You guys, don’t go too far!”
The red-haired woman’s expression darkened, her tone unusual…

The man who walked straight ahead changed expression instantly. His feet felt as heavy as if filled with lead, and the relaxed look on his face vanished immediately. He hurriedly raised his cultivation level to protect himself against the power of the “Heavenly Demon Art,” staring intently at the red-haired woman. After taking one glance, the Jade-Faced Eagle King disdainfully turned away.

Although the “Heavenly Demon Art” was an extraordinary skill, the red-haired woman’s cultivation level was not high enough. Moreover, it happened to be the “Lightning Thunder Eagle” against her, more than sufficient to deal with her. The one who called out to the purple-haired man was the “Iron-Winged Eagle”… The two quickly engaged in combat. One used the “Immortal Seal Technique,” with bizarre moves and astonishing lethality; the other wielded a weapon with seven wings on its shoulder that could cover most of his body when fully extended. This sturdy weapon could also function as a heavy fan-like tool, providing perfect protection in danger. The punches from the Immortal Seal Technique caused minimal damage, and soon the battle became fierce.

Both male and female demons were subdued… The remaining Mongols didn’t even earn a glance from the Jade-Faced Eagle King. Blood Eagle ranked third among the thirteen eagles, but in single combat, he was more agile and unpredictable than the second-ranked “Iron-Winged Eagle,” making him hard to defend against. His deadly moves were terrifying, and dealing with a skilled warrior from Mongolia probably wouldn’t take much time… With this thought, the Jade-Faced Eagle King’s intense gaze fell on Wanwan, whose graceful figure was utterly captivating: “Miss Wanwan, though I hate to destroy such beauty, I can’t leave this night without gaining anything. I’ll take those 2,000 points of combat merit from you…” His tone shifted as he spoke. Behind him, his nine brothers quickly dismounted their mounts and surrounded the entire battlefield like a storm, encircling Wanwan completely. The Jade-Faced Eagle King calmly dismounted from his horse and stepped slowly toward Wanwan, who stood motionless. He drew a long, luxurious sword from his waist, its blade cutting through the darkness like a cold streak… Surrounded by ten martial arts masters, Wanwan seemed unfazed, looking calmly at the Jade-Faced Eagle King with a smile that intoxicated all who saw it: “All those in the Central Plains who tried to deal with me are dead…” “Is that so?” The Jade-Faced Eagle King, clearly a man of great pride, quickly steadied his mind despite the influence of the Heavenly Demon Art. With a cold snort, he continued advancing firmly toward Wanwan, his slender sword trembling slightly as it emitted a sharp, piercing light. Wanwan frowned slightly… Just as she was about to act, a muffled groan came from beside her—the battle on Rongsen’s side had already decided its outcome. …

Blood Eagle!
“The Blood Handprint.”
Rong Sen.
“The Prajna Dragon- Elephant Skill.”
The former inherited the ultimate technique of the Blood Handprint, featuring ruthless and vicious palm strikes that could rival, if not surpass, Xiao Bei’s “Arm of the Thousand-Year Corpse King” and its “Bone-Eroding Palm” in lethality.
Anyone who fought against Blood Eagle risked losing their life at the slightest mistake, as the deadly poison carried special attack effects. The intense focus poured into each move would completely overwhelm any martial arts expert, causing their vital energy to surge. Usually, no one could defeat Blood Eagle in a one-on-one fight.
But this time…
Blood Eagle clearly made a mistake.
He had no idea about the Mongolian expert Rong Sen—he had never even heard of him. He assumed the opponent to be just an ordinary martial artist.
As usual, he moved swiftly, using the Blood Handprint to harm his opponent…
But from the very first strike, he sensed something was wrong.
The opponent simply stepped forward, causing the ground to tremble slightly. A dragon- elephant sound wave rushed into his ears, temporarily blocking the power in his hands and greatly reducing its lethality.
When it hit Rong Sen, the Blood Handprint seemed to strike a solid steel wall, failing to cause even the slightest movement.
Another step forward!
A sense of overwhelming pressure from the dragon- elephant force.
After the sound wave, it felt as though a mountain was pressing against his back. The air in the entire space was sucked away, leaving no place to hide. It was as if he had been hit by an elephant, forcing him to spit blood and fly dozens of meters away, suffering severe internal injuries.
“Third Brother!”
“Third Brother!!” The others were stunned upon seeing this.
Even the Jade-Faced Eagle King looked at Rong Sen with much greater seriousness!
He knew Blood Eagle’s strength all too well. Even he couldn’t knock Blood Eagle away in a short time. The only explanation—the two were not on the same level.
