Swish, swish, swish! Suddenly, a series of urgent and piercing arrow sounds sliced through the air outside, like lightning across the night sky, sending chills down spines. Following that, thick smoke rose, and flames shot up into the sky, enveloping the entire world in a blood-red hue, as if it had descended into purgatory.
Liu Guihua screamed in panic: "Danger! Enemy invasion! We must fight them off immediately."
She quickly leapt up from the bed, dressed rapidly, her movements agile and decisive.
However, Shi Feiyang smiled calmly and said nonchalantly, "They are nothing but foolish mice courting death, not worth fearing."
Thud, thud, thud! Just then, there came a rapid and heavy knocking on the door, as if hammering on everyone's heart.
Shi Feiyang opened the door, and Liu Dayou stood there, panting heavily, urgently reporting, "Dear brother, the enemy seems intent on destroying Snow Eagle Castle. They are using fire attack."
After speaking, he handed Shi Feiyang a wet towel and another one to Liu Guihua.
Liu Guihua's cheeks were flushed like blooming peach blossoms, looking somewhat embarrassed. She quickly took the wet towel to cover her face.
After all, she and Shi Feiyang had come together without parental consent or matchmaker's word. It was very embarrassing for her brother to see them like this so early in the morning.
Shi Feiyang gently shook his head, politely refusing the towel, and said, "Snow Eagle Castle is the painstaking result of several generations of bandits; they will not easily destroy it. In this battle, they aim to induce panic through arson, luring us into rushing outside to the main gate, thus falling into their ambush and letting them shoot us down. Brother Liu, you should prepare more wet towels just in case. Your task next is to protect Guihua, ensuring her safety. As for the enemy, leave them to me. Now, you need to quickly go to the kitchen and fetch water; with water in hand, we fear not the spreading fire. Hurry up!"
Having said that, he calmly walked past everyone, striding with firm steps into the smoke-filled, fiery Unity Hall.
Liu Guihua was deeply moved, her eyes brimming with hot tears, her steps faltering.
She reached out to support herself against the wall, turned, and followed Liu Dayou.
Inside the Unity Hall, flames raged wildly, waves of heat rolling, as if to consume everything.
However, Shi Feiyang seemed to be strolling in a garden, weaving through the tongues of fire and thick smoke, his gaze calm and determined.
Everything was under his control.
The blazing light reflected on Shi Feiyang's resolute face, his eyes revealing an unbreakable determination, no difficulty could shake his resolve. Around him, tables and chairs were overturned, flames wantonly devouring everything, yet Shi Feiyang seemed outside it all, quietly observing the surroundings.
Wu Zhong clenched his iron fists, while Xiao Lingling held the Mandarin Duck Saber before her.
The couple had already covered their mouths and noses with wet towels, ready for a life-or-death battle with the enemy. Seeing Shi Feiyang arrive, they asked nervously in unison, "Grand Squad Leader, what should we do? The enemies must have invited highly skilled fighters to tackle us. Hence, they attack Snow Eagle Castle so unabashedly in broad daylight."
Shi Feiyang calmly instructed, "You two quickly go to the kitchen to fetch blankets, soak them in water. Here, leave it to me."
Wu Zhong and his wife hurried to the bedroom, each grabbing several blankets, and then rushed to the kitchen.
Shi Feiyang activated the "Bright Jade Technique," white mist emanating from around him, dispersing the thick smoke.
He breathed normally within the white mist, silently strategizing how to repel the enemies at the smallest cost.
Suddenly, there was a crack as the window was shattered, followed by the rapid footsteps interrupting Shi Feiyang's thoughts. Several bandits with sharp blades leapt out from the shadows, lunging straight for Shi Feiyang.
Shi Feiyang remained motionless, merely shifting slightly, effortlessly dodging the bandits' attack.
He swung his hand back, the wind from his palm as sharp as a knife, thump! Instantly knocking a bandit to the ground.
The bandit's chest bone was broken, his body deformed, dying in a gruesome manner.
The remaining bandits, though showing fear, still gritted their teeth and charged at Shi Feiyang.
Shi Feiyang's lips curled into a cold smile, his body moved like lightning, weaving through the bandits.
His fists and feet moved like the wind, each strike accompanied by the bandits' screams.
Not long after, bang, bang! All the bandits had been knocked to the ground by Shi Feiyang, each dying tragically on the spot.
This time, Shi Feiyang did not draw his saber. Aside from luring the enemy, he felt there was no longer a need to draw a saber henceforth.
Shi Feiyang stood firm, surveying the surroundings, seeing Unity Hall in a state of chaos, but the bandits were completely annihilated, his heart surged with a heroic spirit.
Suddenly, another group of masked people, armed with various weapons like swords, spears, halberds, and axes, leaped in swiftly from the window.
Their movements were agile and swift like phantoms, appearing inside in an instant.
One among them, although his face was covered, had eyes incredibly sharp, seemingly able to kill with a glance.
His gaze was incredibly piercing, seemingly able to see through everything, sending chills down one's spine.
As soon as he leapt into the room, he launched a ferocious palm strike at Shi Feiyang, the palm wind howling, irresistible, seemingly able to tear through the air.
However, Shi Feiyang showed no fear, matching attack with attack, wielding his palms, displaying the move "Radiant Light Appears."
Instantly, Shi Feiyang's palm strikes were like blades, imposing and majestic, his palms sharper than any treasured saber.
Boom, boom! The clash of palm winds produced a deafening roar, shaking the entire Unity Hall.
The man exclaimed, "Tathagata Divine Palm?" Then his figure swayed, using swift body technique to flash behind Shi Feiyang, striking fiercely at Shi Feiyang's back of the head. Yet Shi Feiyang was undaunted, using the miraculous lightweight technique "After finishing, wipe the clothes and leave," not only avoiding the masked man's fatal blow from behind but also elegantly landing amidst a group of masked men.
Immediately, Shi Feiyang swiftly changed his moves, deploying the fierce move "Divine Dragon Claw," using the move "Dragon Roar Nine Heavens," fast as lightning, casually grabbing, taking the life of an enemy.
All around were continuous "crack" sounds, like Death God's scythe reaping lives.
Every grab from Shi Feiyang carried immense power, generating gusts of wind, as booming as a dragon's roar.
The masked men obviously did not anticipate that Shi Feiyang would possess such formidable moves, each unable to dodge, either having their throats torn by Shi Feiyang, shoulders cleaved, or chests pierced, blood splattering, and cries of pain filling the air.
Shi Feiyang was like an unstoppable tiger, the "Dragon Roar Nine Heavens" move within his Divine Dragon Claw containing destructive power.
His form traversed through the crowd, like a dragon swimming in a sea of blood, felling enemies wherever he went, none spared.
The masked men were aghast, initially thinking their superior numbers would grant them easy victory, but they never anticipated Shi Feiyang's strength to far exceed their expectations.
They began to scatter and flee, attempting to escape this horrifying slaughterhouse.
