Just then, ripples appeared in the space behind him, and a hand holding a dagger stretched out, aiming to sever Jia Yingfa's head.
At that moment, someone shouted, "Who dares to harm another!"
As they spoke, a dozen people hurried over, with the leader throwing a punch out.
Boom.
Sun Ling had to reveal himself from the void to dodge the punch.
Those who arrived were the skilled guards hired by Jia Yingfa for a hefty sum, also his greatest reliance.
As soon as these people appeared, Jia Yingfa straightened his back and said with hatred, "Qingmu Town dares to rebel, show no mercy!"
"Yes!"
All the guards possessed remarkable cultivation levels and, on hearing Jia Yingfa's words, they all charged forward.
In their eyes, the highest cultivation level of Cheng Hao and his companions was merely that of a Loose Immortal, hardly worth mentioning.
Thus, they all somewhat underestimated the enemy.
But as soon as they engaged,
the guards were caught off guard.
