As the fist came smashing towards him, he lifted his arm instinctively to block it. But before he could raise his arm, the fist had landed squarely on his face.
BAM!
The heavy blow sent him flying.
His nose was instantly crushed, spewing blood all over the place.
He howled in pain and tried to get to his feet for a counterattack. However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he was greeted with the sight of another incoming punch.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
His head swam from the force of three consecutive punches and he nearly passed out. The metallic taste of blood flooded his senses even though his nose had been completely crushed.
His windpipe was choked with blood and he was on the verge of suffocation. Blood had stained his whole face red. "You..." He struggled to open his eyes and tried to discern what Jiang Ning looked like to no avail. "Who are you?" Jiang Ning did not answer him. He simply grabbed the man by his hair and dragged him out like a dead dog. The archer struggled fiercely but it was all for nothing. He couldn't even catch his breath, how could he free himself?
Trails of blood stained the earth as Jiang Ning dragged the man out of the forest.
Elder Ting Feng and the others were flabbergasted by the sight that greeted them.
They watched Jiang Ning drag a man with a face stained with blood out of the forest. The latter looked terrible and didn't seem to stand a fighting chance against Jiang Ning at all... Jiang Ning had spent barely ten minutes in that forest.
He was simply incredible!
"There's only one archer," said Jiang Ning coolly as he threw the man before them. "He's not bad. Quite an accomplished archer."
He didn't add that this man would become one of the best assassins if he were to be brought out of the mountain and given proper training.
"You're..."
The archer looked up and mumbled unintelligibly. Blood continued to fill his mouth and nose.
He was one of the best fighters in Tianlian Sect but to Jiang Ning, he seemed barely passable.
Fury filled his insides, but he had no grounds for refutation. He had been soundly beaten by Jiang Ning without barely a chance to fight back.

Jiang Ning didn't say a word. He simply turned and gave Liu Chuandao and the rest a look.
"Alright, let's stop wasting time. You should head up the mountain and try to hold Luo Qi back for as long as you can."
"What about you?" Luo Chuandao knew what Jiang Ning was not saying.
"I'm going in alone." Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes. "Either we get those prisoners out or we declare war on Tianlian Sect. You should prepare yourselves."
An outright war would be the worst possible outcome. But Jiang Ning wasn't bothered. If it came to that, he would fight. He didn't fear war. He was the God of War after all!
The god of all battles!
Having said that, Jiang Ning slipped into the forest again and vanished within moments.
"Let's move." Liu Chuandao nodded without any hesitation. "We'll head up the mountain right now."
"Let's go." Elder Ting Feng issued a similar order.
The two sects made haste and hurried up the mountain. No one stopped them. Within half an hour, they arrived outside the gates of Tianlian Sect. There were guards defending the gates. With their bows ready at hand and their arrows drawn, they seemed to know that the two sects were coming. Elder Ting Feng eyed the sharp arrowheads aimed at their people with a somber look on his face.
"Luo Qi!" bellowed the man with a voice like thunder. "Are you trying to make a mess out of our world? Turn back while it's not too late!"
His thunderous voice rang out and traveled into the sect. It took some time before he received a reply from Luo Qi himself.
"Hahahaha! You want me to turn

approached the gates. "I've turned around and taken a look. All Dsee is an abyss that has no end in sight!"
Luo Qi arrived like the wind. He barked out a curt laugh at the sight of Liu Chuandao and Qingshan Sect.
"Ting Feng, if you kill Liu Chuandao and everyone from Qingshan Sect, I'll consider turning back one more time."
