World's Best Martial Artist

“Kill!”

At this time and moment, the elderly who were laughing and cursing around seemed to have transformed into entirely different people, into killer gods.

Near the vortex, the spilled blood had formed a river!

The Wang Jinyang trio had their backs against each other, leaning against one another, also killing the armored soldiers continuously.

There were both strong and weak military martial artists.

The three middle ranks were no easy opponents. More than ten Rank-6 powerhouses had attracted many Catacombs powerhouses’ attention. Almost all Rank-6 martial artists were there.

“Break the siege!”

A white-haired elderly yelled, employing a slash. A bloody flesh path was opened up ahead!

Even so, shortly afterward, countless saber and sword glow flashed from the back, sending the elderly’s flesh and blood splattering all over the place in an instant.

The elderly did not die. It was like none of that was felt. Waving the saber again, an enormous saber glow flashed across, once again opening up an area devoid of humans!

The direction where they broke the siege was west!

Earlier, Old Man Li ordered Fang Ping and the rest to break the siege toward the east!

The Catacombs military troops started changing direction. The powerhouses in other directions started flocking toward the west. Old Man Li and the rest had also started to gather toward that side, clearly wanting to assemble everyone together, clearing up the west’s passageway and breaking out of the siege!

Fang Ping took a quick look, his gaze cold and stern, yet did not take another look. Very quickly, he charged toward the Wang Jinyang trio’s direction!

Right now, the trio had run into problems too. With two Rank-5s and one Rank-4, their abilities were not considered too weak. Although many powerhouses were drawn toward Old Man Li and the rest, over here, there was already a Rank-6 martial artist leading a few Rank-4 and 5 powerhouses to encircle them.

Outside the siege, tremendous amounts of armored soldiers were flooding in. Currently, there were also some middle-ranked archers repeatedly shooting arrows to attack them.

“Kagu!”

Fang Ping bellowed, wielding a saber and bolted downward to launch an attack!

The saber did not belong to him. Earlier, Fang Ping had already stored his Chaos-Vanquishing Saber into the storage space in the blink of an eye.

Although the storage space was similar to a cube with a 1-meter edge length, the Chaos-Vanquishing saber was not too long anyway. Roughly one point two meters. It could be stored after slanting it sideways.

The saber right now was casually picked up by Fang Ping from the ground earlier. At this time, hundreds of martial artists had died, so a bunch of weapons was on the ground.

Fang Ping, fueled by fury, yelled and charged downward!

His face was covered in scars, hence Wang Jinyang and Li Hansong could hardly recognize him in such a short time. On the other hand, Qin Fengqing could recognize Fang Ping speaking the Catacombs language. At this moment, his expression changed. Then, he raised his saber and launched himself toward Fang Ping!

Bang!

A loud crash and Qin Fengqing flew out toward the east.

Wang Jinyang and Li Hansong were stunned for a second. Then, they came back to their senses swiftly, dashing toward Qin Fengqing at the speed of light!

Fang Ping breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the Catacombs martial artists were fully focused at hunting down the trio, they did not seem to pay any attention to him. He, too, started running after the trio!

As for the Rank-6 martial artists behind him… Fang Ping stopped himself from looking at them!

The battle between Rank-6 saw many Peak Rank-6 powerhouses pouring in. He could not participate.

In front, the Wang Jinyang trio’s abilities were not weak. They had already killed Rank-5 powerhouses a long time ago when they were still in Rank-4.

At this moment, Wang Jinyang and Li Hansong had broken through Rank-5, their combat strength was much stronger. Even so, they did not unleash full outbursts. Under the trio’s joint effort, they managed to kill a Rank-5 martial artist with great difficulty. Then, under the bombardment against the Rank-6, they were flung out once more.

Fang Ping hunted all the way too. As expected, the armored soldiers and powerhouses in the east were much fewer.

Old Man Li and the rest lured huge amounts of powerhouses toward the west. Now, the energy and Vitality waves behind them shook both heaven and earth, perhaps much more intense than the ones killing in the sky.

The Catacombs martial artists were no fools either. They seemed to know what Wang Jinyang and the rest were plotting.

The Rank-6 leader cried, “Stop them!”

In a split second, large amounts of Rank-4 and 5 powerhouses around them charged toward them, stopping them from making further attempts to escape.

Fang Ping could roughly make out what he meant, feeling somewhat relieved. It seemed like the Catacombs language was not much different except for a slightly different accent. This was just like Sino Nation’s Putonghua, with a disparity in local accents…

“This is not good!”

Fang Ping sighed in his heart once more. A common language. This certainly was not something that would make people happy!

This was to say that there might be an existence of dominant power in the Catacombs. A universal force!

A common language was a serious problem. Even the earth could not achieve that now. Perhaps, this had something to do with the Catacombs’ central region.

With no time to think any further, Fang Ping followed the crowd and charged forward.

The Wang Jinyang trio did not fight zealously either, retreating as they fought. Under the trio’s joint effort, Rank-4 and 5 martial artists could hardly hold them back.

The lone Rank-6 powerhouse launched a few attacks but had only managed to fling them out, allowing them to retreat slightly further away.

Fang Ping made a quick conclusion. This Rank-6… might not have sealed off his Sanjiao Gate. Right now, in order to prevent his Sanjiao Gate from opening, this Rank-6 would conserve his energy whenever he launched an attack.

Or else, Wang Jinyang and the rest, who did not go all out, would find it difficult to resist the Rank-6’s attack.

Seeing that they were running further away, a sign in which they were straying off the battle center slightly, the Rank-6 leader martial artist was slightly enraged. He bellowed, “Get me a few more generals!”

As soon as the words left his lips, out of the many powerhouses who were encircling Old Man Li in the west, another three Rank-6s flew out!

Fang Ping’s expression changed. The Catacombs martial artists were rather pragmatic. He thought that a Rank-6 guy like him would not call out to others if he could not kill a few Rank-4 and 5 guys himself.

The moment the three of them flew out of the battle circle, on the west, Old Man Li roared furiously. The sword ray soared high into the sky, landing like a crash of thunder!

Boom!

An explosive sound was heard. The three Rank-6s who flew out were sliced to death in a second!

At this point, the entire battlefield seemed to have hushed for a full second!

Fang Ping turned his head to take a look. Old Man Li had yet to pull his sword out. At this moment, his complexion was devoid of color, currently fighting two Peak Rank-6 powerhouses. Streaks of blood appeared on his body.

These guys did not employ Mentality as they fought.

Among the Rank-6 powerhouses, although certain Peak powerhouses’ Mentality had reached the extent of expelling it, at the state that they were in, as long as they did not attain the extent of Mentality-Vitality fusion, the effect of their Mentality intimidation would be limited.

Instead, they had to be careful of getting their Mentality disintegrated, dying instantly.

Whereas this was actually an opportunity given to Old Man Li. He was considered a top-notch powerhouse among Peak Rank-6. Nevertheless, if he encountered a Rank-6 who could expel Mentality and suppressed him with Mentality, then his combat strength would be much weaker in comparison.

Most Sino Nation martial artists were informed about this, but the Catacombs martial artists were not.

With no one suppressing him with Mentality, Old Man Li was currently fighting against two Peak Rank-6 alone and still had remaining energy to send three Rank-6s flying. It was clear how powerful his ability was!

Three Rank-6s were killed in seconds. Now, the Rank-6s that were encircling him did not dare to make any reckless moves. Everyone saw what was happening in the east too.

Three Rank-4 and 5 martial artists were nothing to worry about. Rather, they needed to keep an eye out for these general and Peak powerhouses.

The Rank-6 martial artist on the east saw what transpired, a hint of apprehension flashed across his face. He no longer called out for backup, charging toward the Wang Jinyang trio without saying a word!

Hunting a few of them there was much better than being there on the other side!

As expected, the Land of Rebirth powerhouses was indeed valiant!

At this moment, however, the Wang Jinyang trio had also taken advantage of the situation, escaping outward hastily. They had no intention to fight the Catacombs’ martial artists.

Li Hansong was being used as a shield, blocked at the back by both of them. The martial artists at the back launched their attacks, all of them completely resisted by Li Hansong alone.

Right now, mixed in between the hunting troop, Fang Ping observed what happened and pitied Li Hansong slightly. Both of them were evil.

Fang Ping turned his head back to take a look whilst chasing all the way outside.

In a distance away, Old Man Li and the rest were killing with all their might.

Old Man Li’s sword, however, was still not pulled out yet!

Fang Ping looked at the sky once more. The booming sounds went on and on!

The most striking one was not the fight between Rank-9s. Instead, it was four golden rays. It was like four suns. Though one of the golden rays was slightly dim, currently surrounded in the middle by three other suns.

“Commander Zhou…”

A hint of restlessness depicted on Fang Ping’s face. Zhou Dingguo was fighting three of them alone. He was already facing impossible odds.

Old Man Li had already mentioned that he wanted to slash a Rank-8 a long time ago. If this continued, he might need to look for a chance to make the strike!

After taking a deep breath, Fang Ping roared, “Kagu!”

Having said that, with blinding speed, he bolted toward the Li Hansong trio!

There were still tens of Rank-4 and 5 powerhouses who were hunting together with him, and the Rank-6 powerhouse too.

On the periphery, there were still a bunch of armored soldiers sealing off the battle area. However, their abilities were not strong at all.

In the blink of an eye, they were smashed through by the Wang Jinyang trio!

Despite that, it was not like there was no powerhouse at all at the periphery. In the next moment, an intense energy wave emerged. There was still another Rank-6 here!

The next moment, the troop that was made up of two Rank-6s, more than ten Rank-5s, and more than twenty Rank-4 martial artists bolted toward the trio very quickly!

…

“We’re finished!”

While running madly, Qin Fengqing hissed, “They think too highly of us!”

He was only a Rank-4. Right now, he was about to become an easy opponent as a Rank-4 here.

There were a bunch of Rank-5s. There were even two Rank-6s.

Wang Jinyang remained calm and collected as he clung onto his shoulders, saying under his breath, “Most of them are folk martial artists, their abilities are average. The Rank-6 who has just started chasing us is the only military martial artist. When we are more than ten li out, away from the battlefield, we’ll turn around and make a counterattack!”

“Two Rank-6s…”

“Fang Ping’s still there!”

A hint of surprise flashed across Wang Jinyang’s eyes. This kid was really capable. He had actually blended in!

With Fang Ping around, perhaps they could ensnare the other party entirely!

The three middle ranks were not really easy opponents. This time, at the very most, the number of three middle ranks martial artists gathered on the battlefield was only about a thousand. However, the dauntless elder martial artists had currently killed more than a hundred people!

If they too could ensnare and kill these powerhouses who were chasing after them, the Catacombs would experience a great loss.

These Catacombs’ martial artists were much easier to handle than the ones in Magic City.

Magic City Catacombs’ powerhouses had fought with humans for many years. They were ruthless and sly enough.

Nanjiang Catacombs had just opened. The martial artists here did not have an intense deathly aura. Even the Rank-6 did not bear too much pressure down on the Wang Jinyang trio.

Unlike humans, the Catacombs’ martial artists did not go on expeditions and fight everywhere.

People like Fang Ping, even Fang Ping who had the least combat experience, had participated in the Catacombs’ great war to besiege a city and had seen bloodshed. He might be so much more compared to the majority of Catacombs martial artists here.

Upon hearing that Fang Ping was there, Qin Fengqing’s eyes sparkled!

That was right. Fang Ping was still in the crowd. They might really be able to ensnare these fellows later!

…

A few minutes later, the Qin Fengqing trio had already run more than ten li outward.

However, behind them, the martial artists who were hot on their heels did not seem to be giving up.

Compared to the Land of Rebirth martial artists who were strangers in this unfamiliar land, they were the owners. Were they trying to escape from their territory? How would that be possible!

At this moment, two Rank-6 martial artists had gathered.

The pursuing Rank-6 martial artist earlier did not wear any armor, so he was clearly not a military martial artist. Facing the military martial artist who had just started pursuing now, he was also much more ingratiating.

Whilst chasing, he smiled. “General Willow Bark, these guys’ ranks are not high; their abilities not weak. Do we catch them alive or kill them?”

“It’s best if we can catch them alive. Finish them off if we can’t!”

General Willow Bark said it in an extremely cold-blooded manner, nor was his tone friendly. The other Rank-6 martial artist did not portray a hint of anger, raising his head to take a look at the sky, sighing slightly, saying, “There are indeed many Land of Rebirth’s powerhouses. Luckily we made early preparations!”

General Willow Bark ignored him, staring at the trio ahead. Now, the trio had already started slowing down gradually.

Whereas not too far behind both of them, Fang Ping’s ears moved. As expected, over here at the Catacombs, they did receive news in advance.

Was the news from the central region?

Or perhaps, the Catacombs’ opening was indeed controlled by them?

Right now, the battle tumult behind them was gradually weakening. Fang Ping and the rest had fled the central battle zone.

In front, the Qin Fengqing trio stopped in their tracks; the pursuing martial artists encircled them.

Towering above, both Rank-6 powerhouses wasted no time with nonsense, nor did they allow the Rank-4 and 5 martial artists to go ahead first while they watched the fun.

It was almost a split second when the encirclement was completed when both of them launched their attacks toward Wang Jinyang and Li Hansong respectively.

Qin Fengqing, the only one remaining, was the target for the rest of them!

It was not difficult at all for more than ten Rank-5s and tens of Rank-4s to kill a Rank-4!

Qin Fengqing was no longer smiles now. When he saw both Wang Jinyang and Li Hansong fighting a Rank-6 powerhouse each, already unleashing full force, he gritted his teeth, raised his saber and charged into the crowd!

Fang Ping was in no hurry to assist the Wang Jinyang duo. In a split second when Qin Fengqing charged into the crowd, Fang Ping’s Mentality unleashed an outburst instantly, intimidating a few people around Qin Fengqing on the spot!

Over here, there were no Peak Rank-6 powerhouses, no high-ranked powerhouses!

Fang Ping unleashing a Mentality outburst was out of everyone’s expectations. With no idea what was going on, the few of them were sliced by Qin Fengqing in half across the middle!

Qin Fengqing was stunned for a moment, yet his actions were not remotely slow. He knew instantly that Fang Ping was behind this!

Now, Qin Fengqing’s enthusiasm grew. He roared, his dadao struck out an intense Vitality saber glow!

Fang Ping was mixed in outside the circle, his Mentality unleashing continuous outbursts, so much so that it was no longer considered outbursts. With so many Rank-4 and 5 powerhouses, he found it difficult to intimidate them on the spot. At this moment, what Fang Ping did was detonating these Mentalities!

Only a Mentality explosion could intimidate those Rank-4 and 5 martial artists on the spot!

Qin Fengqing unleashed a divine power, his changdao slashed downward like thunder. He was almost taking out each with a slash. In the blink of an eye, he had slashed more than ten to death!

Everything happened too quickly, at the speed of light, the Catacombs’ sieging team was thrown into confusion now.

Could a Rank-4 be so powerful?

“What’s going on?”

“A hidden ability?”

“Be careful, everyone!”

“…”

Everyone was talking all at once, looking rather vigilantly at Qin Fengqing.

Fang Ping’s Mentality explosion was only directed against individuals. Qin Fengqing was extremely quick to follow up with a slash. These people did not notice. They might not believe it even if they noticed.

If a powerhouse who could expel Mentality was truly around, these guys would not stand a chance with the other party because the other party would be at least a Peak Rank-6.

“Quickly!”

Just as everyone was on their toes, Fang Ping hissed. He used the Catacombs’ language, but he was reminding Qin Fengqing to stop wasting time!

Not far away, Wang Jinyang and Li Hansong could not hold on any longer.

It would still be possible if both of them worked together to fight against one. Even if they were prodigy martial artists, how could it be so easy to fight with a Rank-6 powerhouse alone? After all, they had just achieved Rank-5.

Under the circumstance as a Peak Rank-5, it would still be possible for both of them to take on a Rank-6 each. Right now, it was still too early for that.

Qin Fengqing saw what happened, gritted his teeth, and roared, “I’m unleashing a big move now, you’re all dead meat!”

As soon as he said those words, Fang Ping knew that it was showtime. Tremendous amounts of Mentality gushed out in an instant. Then, he roared, “Kagu!”

After the deafening roar, everyone else charged forward subconsciously!

At the same time, Mentality exploded once again. Fang Ping’s face was ghostly pale. In the midst of the crowd, Qin Fengqing roared madly, his changdao unleashed a blinding glow, slashing as he swept in a circle!

Pu, pu, pu…

A series of sounds of metal slicing through the body could be heard. The friction sound of bones and metal colliding resounded. The crowd in the innermost layer was instantly sliced through across the middle!

“Retreat!”

A Catacombs martial artist roared. Then, everyone retreated one after another. In the midst of the crowd, Qin Fengqing’s face was drained of color now, yet he smiled smugly, staring at the crowd provocatively.

“Something’s not right!”

Someone hissed. Although the person in front of them could unleash powerful outbursts, it would not be so powerful to the extent that he could slash so many people to death in just one move.

One must know that there were still Rank-5 powerhouses amidst the crowd!

Many people started looking around. The waves of Mentality explosion earlier were not weak. Someone felt it. Now, everyone searched all around. Vigilance was evident in their eyes.

Had a general peak powerhouse from the Land of Rebirth come?

Fang Ping did not care about this, taking a look around him. There were still many people. This was not so easy to kill.

This fellow Qin Fengqing was indeed a useless piece of trash. If a Rank-5 martial artist was the one cooperating with Fang Ping, perhaps they might need to spend only a little time to ensnare and kill all of them.

This was not the time to grind slowly now.

Wang Jinyang and Li Hansong were hanging by a thread. It was hard to tell how others were holding up at the central battle zone. But, golden body powerhouse Zhou Dingguo’s ray was growing much dimmer.

Taking a look at Qin Fengqing again, Fang Ping exhaled. Seek blessings for yourself. I had to handle a Rank-6, otherwise, everything would be over.

General Willow Bark was precisely Fang Ping’s target.

Currently, that military martial artist was bearing down on Li Hansong as he bashed him up. Li Hansong’s skull was already flashing golden light. Such an anomaly had General Willow Bark thrilled. Clearly, he was aware that he had caught a big fish this time!

Whereas Fang Ping had soared into the sky now, flying toward their direction. He shouted at the top of his lungs, “General Willow Bark, this person down here is abnormal!”

General Willow Bark, who was handling Li Hansong at full force, was slightly stunned. It was not because of the information that Fang Ping had reported, instead, it was the way in which Fang Ping addressed him…

A Rank-4 martial artist had the guts to call out to him like that?

The Catacombs’ followed a strict hierarchy of status. If one wanted to shout, one would also shout ‘General Milord’. Not even folk martial artists would be so bad-mannered.

Such a thought flashed across General Willow Bark’s mind.

However, there was no time to say anything now. Or perhaps, having someone sneaking into his team was a possibility that the other party had never considered.

It was at this moment that Li Hansong saw Fang Ping charging over. His eyes lit up. Then, he let out a deafening roar, the golden light on his skull was resplendent. With both of his fists opened up, he clutched tightly onto Willow Bark’s arms. Li Hansong did not loosen his grip even if the arms could explode in an instant and become badly mangled!

General Willow Bark let out a cold humph, struggling desperately!

Such thought had just flashed across his mind when General Willow Bark heard someone shouting behind him, “I’ll help you!”

Willow Bark’s eyebrows knitted together. ‘Do I even need your help?’

Such thought had just surfaced when a red-colored changdao appeared behind him, soundless and stirless, carrying not the slightest hint of energy waves. In the blink of an eye, it crashed downward at the tip of his head like the thunder!

Not everyone was Iron Head Li!
