Chapter 647: Chapter 648: The Black Iron Crow

The Black Iron Crows, when mobilized, appeared in the thousands. Even martial artists on the pinnacle of Death Boundary, and those who had surpassed life and death, found themselves encircled by the endless martial techniques of the Black Iron Crows, and ultimately, they had no choice but to let their spiritual power be depleted and fall midst them.

An elder of Beimang Academy who was once a Supreme Elder met with a swarm of Black Iron Crows and eventually fell.

The Supreme Elders of Beimang Academy are all individuals at the pinnacle of the Death Boundary. Now, facing the swarm of Black Iron Crows, being besieged meant only one thing: demise.

The terror of the Black Iron Crow swarm was quite apparent.

"Is that, the escaping light of martial artists?"

Chu Fengmian looked over.

Right in front of the Black Iron Crow swarm, there were several escaping lights in front of the crows.

This group of Black Iron Crows was clearly after these few martial artists, pursuing them all this way.

There were three people, an old man with white hair followed by a man and a woman. The old man with white hair was the strongest, likely possessing the strength of the higher tiers of the Death Boundary. As for the man and woman, they were mere commoners of the Death Boundary.

Now, it was the white-haired old man who was injured the most. Under the siege of the Black Iron Crow swarm, he was starting to falter.

"These martial artists are not from our Beimang Academy, nor are they from the Earth Demon Sect. They must be members of a martial arts family. What should we do?"

Han Yueli eyed those people and spoke up.

"This swarm of Black Iron Crows has already noticed us. These crows, as long as they detect a martial artist’s presence, are relentless. We can’t get away easily even now."

"Is that so? If it’s difficult to leave, then let’s go have a look; we need to detour anyway. Since they’re not enemies, saving them shouldn’t be a problem."

Chu Fengmian casually said.

Anyways, this group of Black Iron Crows was a nuisance, might as well eliminate them and rescue those people at the same time.

Hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Han Yueli also nodded in agreement.

Rather than taking a detour and still being chased by the crows, it’s better to confront them now.

In an instant, two figures disappeared from their spot and flew towards the direction of the Black Iron Crows.

"Second Elder, what should we do? These Black Iron Crows will not let us go easily."

The young male among the three suddenly drew his sword and cut down a Black Iron Crow, but this also consumed a significant amount of his spiritual power.

In this pursuit, his spiritual power had already been greatly depleted. He had suffered serious injuries, and facing the swarm of Black Iron Crows, he was finding it increasingly challenging.

"If this continues, we are bound to die at the hands of this swarm of Black Iron Crows. I never expected that passing through this Desolate Corpse Range would attract such a group."

"Has there been any contact with our family people?"

The woman’s face also showed signs of distress.

"If this goes on, we won’t last much longer. These Black Iron Crows are endless, impossible to kill off."

While conversing, the trio continued to escape rapidly as escaping lights.

But the speed of the Black Iron Crow swarm was even faster than their escaping lights, virtually besieging them already.

At a glance, it seemed as if they were struggling desperately within the pitch-black clouds.

"We’ve already notified the family. Our people are currently in Martial King City, and we’re not too far from there. As long as we hold on a bit longer, we’ll make it!"

The white-haired elder said with a heavy voice.

But his body had already sustained countless injuries. Just as he spoke, an immense Black Iron Crow, reaching the ranks of a demon god, suddenly slammed into him.

Immediately, the spiritual power gathered by the white-haired elder was shattered, and his body was sent flying, spewing out a torrent of fresh blood.

"Second Elder."

The man and woman, upon seeing the elderly figure with white hair being sent flying, turned pale with fear.

Without the help of this white-haired elder, their defense was gradually being breached by the Black Iron Crows.

"Are we going to die here today?"

The young man’s face was ashen, and he was even close to giving up resistance.

But at that moment, two streaks of sword light suddenly descended from the sky.

One streak of sword light, containing extreme power, decimated hundreds of Black Iron Crows with a mighty slash.

The other streak of sword light, freezing cold to the extreme, completely froze a group of Black Iron Crows at a distance.

"What is this?"

The young man was stunned, then joyfully exclaimed,

"I don’t know who has helped us, but I am Gongyang Li, this is my sister Gongyang Cai, and we also have our clan’s Second Elder, Gongyang Zong. Whoever you are, if you’ve come to assist us, our Gongyang clan will surely repay your kindness."

"People from the Gongyang family."

Two figures suddenly descended from the sky, landing right in front of the group.

Han Yueli, upon hearing Gongyang Li’s words, spoke up,

"The Gongyang family is also one of the Martial Arts families in the Northern Region, skilled in the saber technique, with no significant association or malice towards our Beimang Academy."

"Beimang Academy, you are from Beimang Academy?"

The white-haired elder, Gongyang Zong, also spoke up.

"Thank you both. People from our Gongyang family will soon arrive. You just need to help us hold out a little longer, and we will be extremely grateful with significant rewards to offer."

"Hold out a little longer? There’s no need for such trouble. It’s just dealing with a few Black Iron Crows. Yue Li, I’ll protect them. I’ll be right back."

Chu Fengmian said casually.

His body suddenly moved, charging directly into the flock of Black Iron Crows.

"These Black Iron Crows, each has a special black feather, known as Black Iron Divine Feathers, a wonder of heaven and earth. Simply refine them a little, and they become a sharp sword. With so many Black Iron Crows now, killing them all is enough to craft an entire Sword Array!"

Chu Fengmian’s establishment of his cave dwelling had always focused on Forbidden Array Formations, lacking a major offensive Sword Array.

Now, the black feathers on these Black Iron Crows were the perfect materials for crafting swords. With as many as a hundred thousand Black Iron Crows, killing them and obtaining their black feathers was enough to condense a Sword Array!

"Where did this human come from, die!"

This group of Black Iron Crows, seeing Chu Fengmian charging towards them, and among them, a crow that had reached the realm of a magical creature, had already awakened its spiritual intelligence and was bellowing furiously.

With its furious roars, countless Black Iron Crows simultaneously charged at Chu Fengmian.

Their tough black feathers were their strongest means of attack; even a saint could be killed by a hit to a vital point if they were careless.

"Seeking death."

Chu Fengmian uttered disdainfully.

In his palm, the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword burst forth.

As it burst forth, a Dragon Roar vibrated, causing countless surrounding Black Iron Crows to faint.

With a movement of Chu Fengmian’s sword edge, hundreds of Black Iron Crows in front of him were almost instantly slain by his sword.
