Li Shenzhi turned around, only to see two clouds of blood mist hanging in the air.
His breath caught. Just two blades of sword qi, and two Divine Transformation Realm cultivators had been wiped from the face of the earth.
The bamboo forest rustled around him. After a moment’s hesitation, he walked inside.

Gritting his teeth, he pressed onward into the bamboo forest.
