"Are you running so fast because you're a Saint Crest Knight or an assassin?" Though Chen Xuanfeng was momentarily held back, his cultivation vastly surpassed his opponent's. Thus, he could speak without missing a beat, his hand movements unhindered. Seeing that his opponent didn't plan to answer, he didn't even activate his sevenfold acceleration "Magic Aura," instead relying solely on his swordplay to wait for an opportunity.

"Haaah! Damn wolfman, turn to ash for me! Heaven and Earth shatter, Crimson Star Burst!" The distant Red Sun Knight, Hein, wasn't idle either. After all, this was still his domain. He raised the Ten Realms Crimson Lotus high, and a red light, like the rising sun, surged toward him, drawing all the flame energy in the area. In an instant, it gathered into a massive, scorching crimson energy vortex. The vortex grew larger until Hein could no longer control it, at which point it shot toward Chen Xuanfeng all at once.

The crimson flame vortex was as ferocious as a mountain torrent, its presence both imposing and overwhelming. Although the Red Sun Knight wasn't adept at refining and controlling his power, he was still a Sword Saint. Once he piled up chaotic power to the point of explosion, it was enough to cause a headache, especially when combined with the White Night Knight Hein's constantly flickering figure, which continued to block Chen Xuanfeng's escape routes.

"Interesting—" Chen Xuanfeng's expression showed no tension, only a hint of a cold smile. His Ho Blade changed color again, and a magnificent golden light magic expanded wildly, once more transforming into the illusion of a golden battle tiger. Following that, a tenth-level light magic, Saint Spirit Judgment, fused with the Nine Yin supreme skill, Ten Blades to Extinguish the Dust, roared out. Ten blades became one, the same move that had forced back Arshu, the Blade Saint, three years ago—Blade to the Ends of the Earth and Sky.

Light magic knows no distance or strength, shining like sunlight on all equally. Chen Xuanfeng's move, blending Nine Yin True Energy with light power, was like a divine stroke from the heavens, instantly reversing the situation. The closest victim was the White Night Knight Hein, who didn't even have time to react before the blade light hit him. As a light-based warrior, his body momentarily turned crystal clear, allowing nine-tenths of the golden blade light to pass through him, slicing the massive flame tornado behind him in half. The blade light then crossed the entire plaza, slashing toward the distant Red Sun Knight.

"Pfff—"

"Pfff—"

Blood spurted from the mouths of both Saint Crest Knights. In one move, both were injured.

The White Night Knight was directly hit by the fierce attack and misjudged the situation, thinking it was just a light magic and battle aura assault. He boldly tried to dissipate the attack with a secret technique to counterattack but didn't expect the core of Blade to the Ends of the Earth and Sky to be the strange true energy from another world. Caught off guard, he was immediately invaded by the blade's energy, causing him to vomit blood uncontrollably. The Red Sun Knight, on the other hand, was injured after forcing a powerful move, his body momentarily stiff. Although he managed to avoid a direct hit, he was still struck obliquely. Fortunately, the blow was weakened twice, and his saint-level defense protected him from serious injury.

The aftershock of the blade light directly hit the deep red flame curtain, and the explosion's power nearly tore off half of the Red Sun Knight's domain. Fortunately, the flame domain blocked the remaining force; otherwise, the countless residential buildings in the distance, or even the city walls further away, would have been obliterated.

Both the White Night and Red Sun Knights were originally Sword Saints, and in terms of raw power, they surpassed Chen Xuanfeng. Even though they lacked combat experience, they wouldn't have been so flustered if they had fought steadily. However, they were eager for success and attacked recklessly, while Chen Xuanfeng deliberately concealed his strength, leading them to underestimate him. With all his strength, Chen Xuanfeng finally succeeded in injuring both of them with one move.

Although the massive flame tornado unfolded by the golden blade light exploded in all directions and failed to harm Chen Xuanfeng, it provided a screen for the White Night Knight to retreat and suppress his injuries beside the Red Sun Knight Hein. Chen Xuanfeng, having exerted full force, had to pause to recover his energy and couldn't finish them off.

Chen Xuanfeng felt a slight pity as he watched the two get injured. In fact, he had an even more powerful sword technique—the strongest move of the Qiankun Extinction Blade, "One Slash to Sever the Heavens." With the power of the Great Demon King from the Magic Blade Ho, it had the power to destroy the heavens and earth. Had he used that move just then, he could have killed one of them instantly. However, this move was beyond his control at the moment, and if he had recklessly unleashed it, half the city might have been destroyed. Even if he didn't care about the city's inhabitants, Jin Luosha, who was close to him, stood behind him. If she had been hurt, it wouldn't have been worth it, even if he had killed several Saint Crest Knights. Therefore, after careful consideration, Chen Xuanfeng chose the more manageable Blade to the Ends of the Earth and Sky to defeat his enemies.

Moreover, the purpose of setting this trap wasn't to kill the invading Saint Crest Knights in the first place.

Chen Xuanfeng quickly recovered after catching his breath, and without another word, he charged at the two knights with his blade. The two knights, realizing they had fallen into Chen Xuanfeng's trap, wisely chose not to fight head-on. They immediately dispelled the remnants of the crimson domain, suppressed their injuries, and crushed two large, exquisite rune gems, disappearing in a flash of white light.

"Shameless, another long-range teleportation!" Chen Xuanfeng cursed, frowning but not surprised. Over the past year, young Saint Crest Knights had appeared one after another, coming to the orc-controlled territories to stir up trouble, partly for revenge and partly to hone their powers. To ensure their safety, the human world had gathered a large number of magic forces, establishing several large and small teleportation centers maintained by priests, mages, and even blood elf spellcasters. As long as the situation looked dire, the Saint Crest Knights would activate rune gems, allowing the stationed mages to teleport them away. This had made the Saint Crest Knights increasingly bold, using guerrilla tactics to the fullest and causing significant losses to the orcs.
