Token

At the main building of the Yu family.

The originally luxurious flower-covered manor yard was now devastated. All one saw now when they glanced around the yard were corpses in pools of blood and an especially nauseating scent of blood lingered in the air.

All of the surviving members of the Yu family were currently gathered here. There were only about twenty people, with ages ranging from the old to the young. The Yu family's Seventh Miss and Second Master were amongst the group.

They all wore panicked expressions and some of the poised women were even shivering. Only a small minority, including the Seventh Miss, were able to maintain their calm.

There were around thirty men dressed in black spread all around the yard, blocking and surrounding the Yu family people from three sides. These people were split into smaller groups, all of them holding various magical weapons and most of them were cultivators.

However, it was fortunate that the remaining servants of the Yu family managed to arrive in time and had been protecting the survivors all along.

After all, the Yu family was the family of the Feng Nation's Prime Minister. They were able to hire many capable cultivators, like the red-robed, middle-aged cultivator who stood in front of the Yu family members. His face was covered with freckles, his figure short and unattractive. However, his entire body was covered in a red light as he exuded the strong spiritual pressure from his Core Formation body.

There was a bright red fire marble magical treasure suspended above his head and countless red fireballs danced around him. He looked extremely intimidating.

While the cultivation bases of the other two males and a female that the Yu family had hired were not as great as the first man, they did not look weak either. The female dressed in black, looked pretty but had a scar on her face, and another middle-aged man that was tall, slim and had sunken skin around his eyes stood on each side of the red-robed cultivator respectively.

The remaining dark-skinned and haggard looking older man, like he was an old farmer from the countryside stood a small distance behind the rest.

Even though they had a cultivator who had reached the Core Formation stage, they were only four people after all and needed to divert their attention into protecting the Yu family members. Suddenly, they were caught in a stalemate with the cultivators dressed in black around them.

"This isn't going to work. Protect Seventh Miss and the rest and take any opportunity you can to break out!" After the red-robed middle-aged man shouted a few sentences and hearing no reply from the men dressed in black, he was finally angered. After shouting his orders to the other three cultivators, he bent his hands and spat out a ray of red light that moved into the bright red fire marble above his head.

The bright red fire marble immediately spun faster and turned blurry.

A loud splutter broke through the air. Dozens of giant fireballs spun out from the original marble, before they merged together speedily and formed a thick fire dragon that was more than a hundred feet long.

"Growl!"

The bright red scales of this fire dragon were well-defined. With a growl, it pounced towards the group of men dressed in black.

Boom! Boom!

The first group of men in black were caught by surprise and were immediately knocked away by the fire dragon, two of which were turned into ashes immediately.

With that, the fire dragon swept its tail and created a fiery wave. Everyone around it immediately stepped back from the excessive heat.

After some commotion, the cultivators dressed in black immediately responded and all kinds of magical weapons and magic immediately rained down on the fire dragon.

The fire dragon's body shook both left and right, trying to dodge the attacks. The fire on it continued to stir, but it was not fatally injured, so it continued to attack nonstop. In just seconds, a good half of the men in black were either dead or injured.

"Go!"

The red-robed cultivator shouted at the black-dressed women.

At this moment, a loud screech sounded and a blurry black ray shot over like a black bolt of lightning that ended up piercing the fire dragon's abdomen.

Puff!

That dark ray was in fact a long arrow covered with black runes.

"Bang."

The runes on the arrow suddenly shone brightly and exploded immediately. It was like a pelt of thunder that came without rain and left a giant red and black mushroom cloud. Even the ground around them trembled.

A large hole blasted open in the fire dragon's abdomen and the fire around it flickered.

Seeing this, both the red-robed cultivator and the other three were extremely shocked!

At the entrance not too far away from them, a man dressed in black appeared. He was holding a big, black bow, a black glow surrounding him. It was clear that his cultivation base was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment level.

The black glow behind him moved and four more men dressed in black appeared. They were all at the peak of their Foundation Establishment level and each held a black bow as well. They strung an arrow each, pulled back, and shot the arrows.

Shoot!

Four black arrows covered in black runes flew like a rain of shooting stars, streaking out a cold trajectory in the dark sky like a flash of lighting.

The red-robed cultivator rapidly moved his hands and ordered the fire dragon to dodge. However, because the dragon was too huge and the arrows were shot too precisely, the dragon was only able to avoid one arrow while the other three hit their targets straight on.

Rumble!

The three arrows exploded one after another!

Three more gaping holes immediately appeared on the fire dragon's body. It was no longer able to keep its shape and dissipated suddenly into bright red mist, before it slowly faded into nothing.

The red-robed cultivator grunted in pain, his body shaking a little.

Just at that moment, there was another loud howl and a terrible white light shone in the darkness. Its speed was a few times faster than the few arrows before and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of them.

Reacting quickly, the bright red fire marble above the red-robed cultivator's head immediately shot out and met the white beam. Meanwhile, he flew backwards and waved his hand at the same time, a blue and a red beam flying over. They were actually a small blue sword and a bright red flying fork that attacked the white beam.

The white beam shone and revealed its true appearance. It was actually a three-foot long bone saber, an eerie breeze swirling around it.

The bone saber rang out and many black threads appeared above it, wrapping around the bright red fire marble, small blue sword, and the bright red flying fork.

The light of the three magical treasures dimmed and they immediately became sluggish and staggered.

The bone saber weaved through the middle of the three magical treasures and reappeared near the red-robed cultivator's head. It was as fast as lightning.

"Ah…"

The red-robed cultivator cried out in pain, before he stopped suddenly. His head tilted and detached from his neck.

A gust of blood spurted out and produced a fountain tens of feet tall. His headless body convulsed before it fell to the ground.

"Exalted Red Robe!"

Everyone from the Yu family exclaimed.

The woman dressed in black and the other two were also alarmed. They all took a few steps back, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Following that, a devilish-looking teenager walked out from the crowd. He was the person who had observed them secretly at Mingyuan City. However, the man dressed in gray was not with him.

When the men dressed in black saw the teenager, they immediately stopped and bowed to him.

The devilish-looking teenager waved a hand and that white bone saber immediately flew back to him. The red-robed cultivator's three magical treasures were brought back by the sword as well.

He glanced at the three magical treasures with contempt although he still waved his hand and stored them away. It was only now that he finally glanced at the Yu family members, before he said coldly, "Kill all of them and spare no one."

"Yes!" the men dressed in black immediately replied and took a step forward.

The three remaining cultivators hired by the Yu family had extremely dark expressions, but they did not do anything to stop the men.

Seeing this, the women amongst the Yu family members started to cry loudly. Some of them even collapsed on the floor, while some even lost control of their bladders.

"Wait a minute!"

A pleasant voice shouted out and a figure stepped up in front of the group. It was Seventh Miss.

She was dressed as a male. However, the gentleness on her face could not be hidden.

"It's you."

The devilish-looking teenager's eyes brightened as he checked the Seventh Miss up and down with lascivious eyes.

The Seventh Miss's face immediately paled. However, she still did her best to remain calm. She held back the urge to dig out the boy's eyes, before she took out a purplish-gold token and revealed it to the crowd.

There was a purplish-gold fire emblem carved on the token and looked extremely lifelike.

"Who are you exactly? Since you dare slaughter my Yu family, I guess you don't care about the Cold Fire Sect!"
