However, Chen Lingxiang's swordsmanship level wasn't as terrifying as Lu Ye's, it was at the Great Success Realm.
Confronted with Chen Lingxiang's first strike, the sword light approached like a vast net.
The black-cloaked Innate Leader shook his head slightly.
In the next moment, the black-cloaked Innate Leader blasted out a palm, unmatched Innate True Qi surged forth!
BOOM!
Chen Lingxiang's Fine Rain Sword Technique net was torn apart by the violent Innate True Qi.
With an expression of having everything under control, Chen Lingxiang's face suddenly changed, swiftly condensing an Innate True Qi Shield for defense.
Even so, the Innate Protective Shield was still shattered by the violent force, Chen Lingxiang's face turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood!
"You're not Innate First Layer... you're actually Innate Fourth Layer?!"
There was someone behind Chaotic Wind Mountain, the Chen Family was well aware.
Even the Innate First Layer who frequently appeared at Chaotic Wind Mountain Stronghold was within the Chen Family's intelligence network.
Upon learning that the Chaotic Wind Mountain Stronghold intended to make a move on the Chen Family goods escorted by the Jiang Family this time.
The Chen Family Ancestor couldn't move, so Chen Lingxiang quietly joined the convoy.
Originally intending to take that item and leave ahead of the convoy.
But Chen Lingxiang thought it over, there was no need to fear the mere backing of an Innate First Layer.
Chen Lingxiang thought she had figured everything out.
Even if in this robbery, the Innate First Layer backing Chaotic Wind Mountain arrived.
She, being Innate Realm Second Layer, could handle everything.
Unexpectedly, the Innate First Layer in the intelligence turned out to be Innate Fourth Layer!
The Innate Fourth Layer, reaching the mid-level threshold of the Innate Realm, was vastly different from Innate Second Layer.
With a single strike, Chen Lingxiang was directly injured.
The black-cloaked Innate Leader stood in mid-air as if on solid ground, resembling a war god under the moon, his gaze swept over Chen Lingxiang as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Hand over the item, I'm in a good mood today, and I might spare your life."
Chen Lingxiang felt a bit of regret, if she had known an Innate Fourth Layer would appear tonight, she should have left earlier with the item.
Once back in Luohua City, the ancestor is at Innate Eighth Layer, who would dare to easily target the Chen Family?
Seeing herself defeated in one move as the strongest Innate, the faint hope just born in Liu Zhen instantly shattered.
Innate... Fourth Layer!
After reaching Innate, the gap between each layer was like an abyss!
That was even more powerful than the Jiang Family Ancestor.
Jiang Lingyue's gaze, except briefly shifting when the two Innates appeared, was always on the black-cloaked person opposite Zhang Hu.
She had a vague premonition that she definitely recognized this black-cloaked person!
It might even be her brother-in-law Lu Ye, who suddenly vanished!
What puzzled Jiang Lingyue was... wasn't Lu Ye said to be at the Condensing Origin Seventh Layer?
This person, who could battle Zhang Hu and even suppress him, must have at least Postnatal Eighth Layer strength.
How was it possible for Lu Ye, a servant disciple by origin, to have progressed so terrifyingly?
Zhang Hu, on the opposite side of the black-cloaked Lu Ye, gave a sinister smile and said, "Arrogant! Why aren't you arrogant anymore? Quick with body techniques? Strong in swordsmanship? Does it matter?"
Looking at the numerous wounds on his body, Zhang Hu's eyes flashed with hatred, he turned to the Innate Leader and bowed his head, "Master, please help me take down this scoundrel!"
In mid-air, the Innate Leader looked over indifferently, and immediately, an Innate Qi Mechanism locked onto Lu Ye.
"I've seen your swordsmanship and body technique, indeed strong, but... below Innate, in front of me, you're like an ant."
Stepping through the void for a few steps, coming above Lu Ye, the Innate Fourth Layer Leader was extraordinarily cold, an Innate True Qi palm strike came crashing down!
Not far away, the exhausted Jiang Lingyue felt her mind become dizzy, her face turning deathly pale.
"No!!"
In the next moment, the black-cloaked figure being pressed down by the Innate Fourth Layer suddenly emitted a terrifying aura!
Causing Zhang Hu opposite him to instantaneously feel a peak death crisis!
Innate Breaking... Formless Sword Qi!!
Under the nighttime stars and moon, Lu Ye's Star Sword Body was intensely activated, gaining enormous enhancement!
A Formless Sword Qi that had never been seen since he obtained it burst out!
BOOM!
The two attacks collided, and immediately Heaven and Earth Source Qi exploded violently.
Some martial artists with slight cultivation but near the center of the battle immediately experienced a shock in the chest and spat blood.
With the Source Qi churning, dust and smoke rose from the ground, traces of explosions and impacts emerged all over the place, deeply embedded in the ground!
Above the convoy, Chen Lingxiang, her face pale, widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief at this scene.
"Yet another Innate?!"
The black-cloaked person who had been fighting Zhang Hu, swordsmanship and body techniques both unparalleled... was also Innate?!
The Leader of the Escort, Liu Zhen, was even more confused, when did two Innate powerhouses appear in his team?!
As the dust settled, Chen Lingxiang gazed into the night sky...
"Actually wounded the Innate Fourth Layer?! That's terrifying..."
Drip, drip...
The Innate Fourth Layer Leader looked down at the deep scar on his arm, his eyes profound.
Just now, if he hadn't dodged in time, this arm might have been severed by that terrifying attack!
The intense Innate aura made even this veteran Innate Fourth Layer feel a trace of... fear.
"Heh heh..."
With a dry laugh, the Innate Fourth Layer Leader deeply glanced at the black-cloaked figure below, his tone no longer as dismissive as before.
"My friend hides very well, with such strength, had you revealed it earlier, this misunderstanding tonight wouldn't have happened at all."
"Since you're here tonight, this misunderstanding can be resolved."
The voice of the black-robed Innate Fourth Layer Leader spread across the field: "Retreat!"
All the black-cloaked figures who arrived later wore faces of disbelief, this foolproof robbery... actually failed?!
But when looking at the strikingly injured arm of the Innate Fourth Layer Leader in the night sky, no one dared to utter a word.
Zhang Hu's teeth trembled, he had never expected that the person who fought him was a hidden Innate old monster!
Not being slain on the spot, it was pure luck for Zhang Hu!
After experiencing the fear of death, Zhang Hu felt his legs slightly weaken and quickly followed the main force, retreating hastily.
In no time, the fiercely approached Innate Fourth Layer team completely disappeared from the scene.
On the other side of the dense forest.
The Innate Fourth Layer Leader landed, looking at the wound on his arm, finally a trace of dread flickered in his eyes!
"Elder, why not heal?" The Postnatal Ninth Layer black-clad person approached and whispered.
After a moment of silence, the Innate Fourth Layer Leader spoke in a deep voice, "The sword energy remaining on this wound... is too overbearing! I can't purge it."
Upon hearing this, everyone around was astonished, understanding why the order to retreat was given.
The opposing unparalleled Innate... one could be an army alone!
...
At the same time, Liu Zhen hurriedly directed everyone to check on the wounded and clear the battlefield.
The surroundings were immediately busy, but everyone passing by kept more than a meter's distance from a particular open space.
The reason was... there stood a supreme Innate who had never spoken but wounded the Innate Fourth Layer in one strike!
If it weren't for this mysterious Innate, the casualties in tonight's battle would have been far greater.
Many offered grateful looks while passing by.
Noticing this mysterious Innate seem to intend to leave, Jiang Lingyue immediately mustered courage and stepped forward a few steps.
"I... I know you, don't I?"
Staring intently into the eyes of the black-cloaked figure, the slight sense of familiarity in Jiang Lingyue's heart never faded.
Seeing this, Liu Zhen was shocked, fearing Jiang Lingyue might offend the other party, he quickly spoke.
"Second Miss, do not disturb the Innate elder!"
