Their bodies swayed from the powerful impact, struggling to maintain their footing, faces filled with shock and fear.

Despite not being a match for Shi Feiyang, they are renowned figures in the Martial Arts world, having shaken the Central Plains Jianghu for decades. Yet, they couldn't even withstand a single slash from Shi Feiyang.

Stumbling and staggering, the four Vice Gang Leaders were bewildered. Meanwhile, the bandits rushing forward fell one after another under the fierce blade aura emanating from Shi Feiyang's Celestial Frost Blade, like falling leaves swept away by a violent wind.

Where the blade aura reached, flesh and blood flew, the bandits' screams echoed one after another, and blood gushed, swiftly dyeing the previously clear river water, spreading across the surface like a bloody red silk.

In the chaos, Peng Sil's eyes showed madness and murderous intent, like a frenzied beast, recklessly charging at Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang sensed Peng Sil's attack and let out a cold hum, deep and icy, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, carrying an endless chill. In an instant, his "Shock Eye Tribulation" Divine Skill activated, and his powerful spiritual power surged towards Peng Sil like a raging tide.

Peng Sil felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart, instantly spreading throughout his body, causing it to tremble uncontrollably. Immediately after, his blood was frozen in an instant, and all his acupuncture points were sealed by ice, rendering him immobile.

Seizing this opportunity, Shi Feiyang raised his Celestial Frost Blade high and then swung it down fiercely. A sharp blade aura whistled out, like a flash of lightning, slashing toward Peng Sil.

Peng Sil couldn't dodge in time and was struck by the blade aura with a "crack", his body instantly split into two, falling into a pool of blood, a scene of extreme gore.

Meanwhile, those enemies who were bitten by the corpse-gu rapidly began to rot, their skin turning black and their muscles falling off in chunks, emitting a nauseating stench that could cause one to faint.

Yang Xue'Er held a long sword, her posture graceful, like a blooming flower on the battlefield, yet exuding deadly danger.

Unwilling to be outdone, she displayed the exquisite swordsmanship of Qingfeng Pavilion. As her figure twirled, sword shadows flickered, each thrust of her sword carried the unique charm of Qingfeng Pavilion's swordsmanship, with unpredictable sword moves, impossible to guard against.

The nearby enemies were all stabbed by her long sword, their screams unending.

The Central Plains Cao Bang Vice Gang Leader Peng Siyu, Vice Gang Leader Peng Sixian, Vice Gang Leader Peng Siwei, and Vice Gang Leader Peng Sixuan, seeing Shi Feiyang so valiant and Peng Sil dead on the spot, turned pale as paper and their legs were weak.

Exchanging glances full of fear and despair, they all desperately jumped into the river to swim for survival, splashing water everywhere.

Other bandits, seeing this, also instantly lost their will to fight, like birds startled by the sound of a bowstring, hurriedly abandoning the fight and jumping into the river.

In no time, the river's surface was crowded with heads, in utter disarray.

Miao Menlong quickly walked to Shi Feiyang's side, frowning with concern, saying, "Grand Squad Leader, this incident is so peculiar, could it be a conspiracy secretly set by Zhao Qingfeng?"

Shan Zhi, upon hearing this, glared angrily and cursed loudly, "Hmph! I never thought that old fox Zhao Qingfeng would be so shameless, ungrateful, repaying kindness with enmity! We rescued him so many times, trusted him, how despicable!"

Shi Feiyang shook his head, firmly saying, "Sect Leader Zhao is by no means such a person. As I see it, this is purely an accidental mishap, we were just unfortunate enough to fall into the trap of the Central Plains Cao Bang."

At this time, Shi Xiong, tightly gripping his iron knife, angrily walked to those hemp bags and stabbed them open forcefully.

Inside the bags were all stones, which made him so angry that his face turned red, yelling loudly, "Hmph! I never thought the bandits of the Central Plains Cao Bang could be so cunning, using such means to deceive us! Outrageous!"

Yang Xue'Er, seeing this, softly said to Little Shi Xiong, "Brother Shi Xiong, don't underestimate the Jianghu outlaws. Some Gang Leaders of Jianghu Gangs are also talented scholars full of stratagems and deeply knowledgeable in the art of war. You've followed my husband galloping across Jianghu since childhood, weathered many storms, when you grow up, you'll surely become an extraordinary talent of the Martial Arts world, with unmatched breadth of knowledge."

Shi Xiong, upon hearing this, immediately beamed, grinning from ear to ear, filled with joy and anticipation.

Shi Feiyang then led the heroes ashore.

He took out several fine steeds from the mysterious deerskin bag at his waist, these steeds were exceptionally magnificent, raising their heads and neighing, their four hooves pawing the ground, eager to embark on a journey. The heroes mounted the horses in one swift motion, each looking handsome and heroic.

At Shi Feiyang's command, everyone urged their horses forward, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, heading towards Shanhai Pass, embarking on the journey to Liaodong by land. That evening, the cold wind of late spring carried a touch of chill, howling across the towering mountains.

The wind echoed in the valley, like the cries of ghosts and wolves, adding a bit of a gloomy atmosphere to the impending fierce battle.

The Giant Whale Gang and the Wokou had long since set an ambush in a narrow and deep gorge, lying in wait like wolves hidden in the darkness for the arrival of Shi Feiyang and his group.

As soon as Shi Feiyang and his party stepped into the gorge, these madmen attacked without hesitation, targeting Shi Feiyang and others with cannons.

The cannons roared and thundered, the sound deafening, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was cracking.

Shells trailed thick smoke, like hideous fire dragons with an overwhelming aura of destruction, whistling towards Shi Feiyang.

In no time, the gorge was filled with smoke and dust, rubble flying everywhere.

Shi Feiyang's face changed suddenly, but his eyes remained resolute and calm.

He instantly reacted, moving like lightning, agilely weaving through the hail of bullets, narrowly avoiding the cannon attacks with each move. As he dodged, his keen eyes seemed to penetrate the dense smoke, searching for opportunities to counterattack amidst the chaos.

At the critical moment when the shells were about to hit, Shi Feiyang reached out like lightning, grabbing Yang Xue'Er beside him while swiftly catching Shi Xiong with the other hand. Then, he fiercely shouldered Xiang Kun to the side.

In this flash of lightning, Shi Feiyang used the Supreme Lightness Technique "Thousand Miles Without Staying", in a blink, his figure flickered, merging into the clouds in the sky, disappearing from everyone's sight.

At the same time, "Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen, unwilling to be outdone, grabbed Miao Menlong and Shan Zhi, displaying the "Feixu Qingyan Technique", his whole body like a dandelion, floating lightly in the air, cleverly avoiding the shell attack on the ground.

When the shells landed, their explosions gradually subsiding, and the smoke slightly dispersing.

Shi Feiyang, holding Yang Xue'Er and Shi Xiong, descended from the clouds like a white light.

He gently released Yang Xue'Er and Shi Xiong, his eyes instantly turning cold and sharp, like stars in the cold night sky, exuding a chilling gleam.

He cast the "Shock Eye Tribulation" from the "Holy Heart Technique", his cold gaze like incredibly sharp blades sweeping towards the bandits.

Wherever it reached, the bandits felt a chill rise from the depths of their hearts, instantly spreading throughout their bodies.

Those red cannons also shattered instantly under the powerful force, turning into a pile of scrap iron, clattering to the ground.

Moreover, the bandits themselves were instantly coated in frost, their bodies frozen like stones, followed by the continuous sound of cracking, shattering and dying, turning into pieces of ice and falling, the scene bloody and shocking.

At this moment, Yang Xue'Er and Shi Xiong, anxious and worried, searched all around for Xiang Kun, who had been knocked off his horse by Shi Feiyang earlier.

Finally, they found Xiang Kun behind a mountain rock.

They saw Xiang Kun, badly injured with a head full of blood, curled up miserably and struggling.

Yang Xue'Er hurriedly took out Tianshan Snow Lotus Water from her bosom and carefully cleaned Xiang Kun's wounds.

Shi Xiong then took out the "Lesser Returning Pill" to feed Xiang Kun.

After taking the medicine, Xiang Kun's complexion gradually improved, his eyes full of gratitude.

Wokou Leader Kanda Naisa, seeing the situation take a sharp turn for the worse and his side suffering severe losses, was furious.

He suddenly shouted, casting an extremely strange array. Inside the array, smoke filled the air, as if in a misty forest, shadows flickered, dazzling and confusing, making it hard to distinguish between reality and illusion.
