Wu Shattered Star River

In a vast valley, numerous camps had been constructed, consisting mostly of simple wooden huts.

These huts housed countless Ghost Clan and Faceless Clan members, stretching as far as the eye could see, their numbers seemingly endless.

Many Ghost Clan scouts were stationed around the valley, as they were well-suited for such roles due to their ability to phase through objects and conceal themselves in drains, caves, and trees.

"Whoosh!"

A faint sound of air being pierced rang out as a Ghost Clan scout hidden in a ditch silently exploded, dying before even a scream could escape its lips.

Five figures floated over, the foremost being a middle-aged man with a face devoid of color, resembling that of a corpse. His eyes scanned the surroundings, sensing everything nearby.

Lord Yellow Springs was the strongest among them, a half-step into the Dao Realm, making his perception of the world exceptionally keen.

Unless an Initiate Dao Stage Ghost Clan member was lurking nearby, it would be impossible to escape his detection.

The five quickly arrived near the valley. Lord Yellow Springs did not order an attack but instead instructed Jiang Han, Lady Fengyi, and the others to conceal themselves while he scouted ahead.

The Military Intelligence Division had repeatedly confirmed that there were only three Dao Peeping Realm Ninth Stage experts within the valley, a fact verified by a Ghost Clan informant.

However, Lord Yellow Springs remained cautious and decided to personally investigate.

He sensed the valley's perimeter from afar before returning and whispering, "Current reconnaissance shows no issues. Black Tortoise and I will go all out to lure out all the experts inside to see if we can kill a Dao Peeping Realm Ninth Stage. Lady Fengyi, your task is to protect Jiang Han. Lord Cloudwing, be ready to provide support and cover our retreat."

Lord Yellow Springs paused, adding, "If… this is a trap, don't hesitate. The three of you escape first, forget about Black Tortoise and me! Especially Jiang Han, don't worry about anything, just run your own race, understand?"

The others nodded. Lord Yellow Springs and Black Tortoise exchanged a glance, and Black Tortoise shot into the sky, charging towards the valley with explosive force.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Like a stone thrown into still water, Black Tortoise's entry stirred up the countless Ghost Clan and Faceless Clan members within the valley.

Numerous Ghost Clan and Faceless Clan experts soared into the sky, rushing towards Black Tortoise.

"Three Dao Peeping Realm Ninth Stage!"

Lord Yellow Springs swept his gaze around and shot out like the wind, heading straight for a Ghost Clan Dao Peeping Realm Ninth Stage expert.

He wielded a slender white sword, unleashing several sword energies. Dao Peeping Realm Eighth Stage experts who charged at him were instantly dismembered, their severed limbs scattering in mid-air.

"Lord Yellow Springs!"

A furious roar erupted, followed by the enraged charge of a Faceless Clan expert.

He wielded a black-gold iron skewer, thrusting it forward with immense power. A golden dragon roared forth, expanding into a golden cloud that engulfed Lord Yellow Springs.

"This Faceless Clan member is strong, a half-step into the Dao Realm!"

Lady Fengyi stared at the golden cloud in the distance, her eyes flashing. She summoned a long spear and said to Jiang Han, "Jiang Han, seize the opportunity. I'll help Lord Yellow Springs suppress the Faceless Clan expert!"

Jiang Han nodded, cloaking himself in stealth as he quietly moved towards the valley, observing the situation.

There were hundreds of thousands of troops from the three clans within the valley, which was his mission to eliminate.

He dared not act rashly before understanding the situation. Dao Peeping Realm Ninth Stage experts were incredibly powerful, and even with his high-grade battle armor, he could be shaken to death by continuous attacks.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Lady Fengyi attacked, joining forces with Lord Yellow Springs to suppress the Faceless Clan's half-step into the Dao Realm expert.

Meanwhile, Black Tortoise single-handedly held off two Dao Peeping Realm Ninth Stage experts, while many Dao Peeping Realm Eighth Stage experts swarmed him.

"Jiang Han, move!"

Lord Cloudwing's voice echoed in Jiang Han's ears, "I'll clear out the Dao Peeping Realm Eighth Stage experts for you. Go all out, and be quick. Otherwise, if the three clans' reinforcements arrive, we'll lose our chance."

"Alright!"

Jiang Han replied, stealthily approaching the valley.

Lord Cloudwing, hidden nearby, attacked, repeatedly thrusting his long sword to clear out the Dao Peeping Realm Eighth Stage experts near Jiang Han, creating an opportunity for him.

"Almost there!"

Jiang Han charged into the valley. He didn't release his Time-Space Domain because there were too many Dao Peeping Realm Eighth Stage experts, and it could easily be destroyed.

He directly released Time-Space Shatter, aiming to kill as many members of the three clans as possible.

Jiang Han didn't cover a wide area this time, fearing that the half-step into the Dao Realm expert would destroy his Dao technique if he covered too much ground. Therefore, he only covered a ten-mile radius.

Even covering a ten-mile radius, he still enveloped over a hundred thousand members of the three clans.

Ordinary members of the three clans couldn't withstand the power of spatial distortion and were instantly annihilated.

"Continue!"

Jiang Han glanced around with satisfaction. Once the spatial rifts disappeared, he quickly moved to prepare for his second massacre.

"Woo ~"

A Ghost Clan Dao Peeping Realm Ninth Stage expert suddenly howled towards the sky. The sound was extremely loud, piercing, and ear-splitting.

Lord Yellow Springs and Lady Fengyi's expressions changed. There was no reason for the Ghost Clan member to make such a sound. It felt like a signal for help?

Could there be hidden experts from the three clans nearby?

Jiang Han, having just annihilated over a hundred thousand members of the three clans, quickly moved to the other side of the valley.

He was about to release Time-Space Domain again when he hesitated upon hearing the ear-piercing cry.

He instinctively sensed danger, feeling that something bad might happen if he didn't leave now.

But he had already positioned himself, and with just a few breaths, he could release Time-Space Shatter again, killing another hundred thousand members of the three clans, completing most of his mission.

Jiang Han glanced at Lady Fengyi in the distance, who happened to be looking his way. She also seemed hesitant.

Seeing that she didn't signal for him to retreat, Jiang Han gritted his teeth and released Time-Space Shatter once more.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Just as Time-Space Shatter was forming, the sound of air being pierced rang out in the distance, followed by the overwhelming aura of experts approaching from all directions. After a quick count, he discovered that at least fifteen experts from the three clans were approaching.

"It really is a trap!"

Lord Yellow Springs and Lady Fengyi's expressions changed, but upon further thought, something felt off.

If it were a trap, Jiang Han wouldn't have even had the chance to release Time-Space Shatter once.

"There must be a teleportation array nearby, and the experts from the three clans are teleporting over!"

Lord Yellow Springs and Lady Fengyi exchanged a glance, understanding each other's thoughts. Lord Yellow Springs said in a deep voice, "Fengyi, you, Lord Cloudwing, and Jiang Han leave first, quickly!"

Lady Fengyi looked at the experts from the three clans flying towards them, and seeing that Lord Cloudwing was already targeted by three attacks, she forced a smile and said, "How can we leave now? Let's just fight!"

"Kill!"

Lord Yellow Springs roared with his deathly pale face, soaring into the sky and unleashing hundreds of sword strikes in rapid succession.

Streams of sword energy shot out in all directions, piercing towards the experts from the three clans.

"Aww ~"

Black Tortoise roared to the sky, his figure suddenly expanding into a scaled giant.

He charged into the densest area of experts from the three clans, single-handedly holding off seven or eight of them.

Lady Fengyi soared into the sky with her long spear. She turned her head to look at Jiang Han, transmitting her voice, "Jiang Han, don't worry about us, find a way to leave!"

"Leave? How can I leave?"

Jiang Han smiled bitterly. He had just released Time-Space Shatter, and the surrounding area was filled with spatial rifts and spatial black holes. With the space so unstable, how could he teleport away?
