In a certain place in the Blackwater Plains, Xing Jianfeng and others were being attacked by three Blackwater Poison Frogs. Although they were performing quite well due to forming a battle formation, their situation was still not optimistic. Everyone was wounded, with copious amounts of blood spraying out from their bodies. Those who were severely injured had long, bone-deep gashes visibly across their bodies.

  "Xing Jianfeng, take them and leave this place, I will hold off these beasts!" The person who offered to stay behind was the relatively mature-faced Xing Qianshan, who at this moment had the most severe injuries among them. His complexion was as pale as paper, looking as if he could fall at any moment.

  "No! If we go, we go together. I can't do it if you're left behind alone. And even if you were to stay, how long could you hold off these Poison Frogs with your strength?" Xing Jianfeng said.

  "Exactly, if we go, we go together. How could we possibly leave you behind alone? Now is not the time to bring this up. If we are to die, we will die together!" Xing Liang also quickly added.

  "How can you all be so foolish? These Poison Frogs are pressing in. If I stay behind, even if I can't buy you too much time, but if it's even a second, it counts as a second!" Xing Qianshan looked bitterly at Xing Jianfeng and the others.

  "Enough, even if you talk your head off today, we will not leave!" Xing Guo said in a deep voice.

  "That's right, if we go today, we go together; if we stay, we stay together!" the other Xing family youths said simultaneously with solemn expressions.

  "You..." Xing Qianshan shook his head with a complex expression. Who says that the Xing family only respects the strong? Who says that people of the Xing family don't have feelings? When the members of the Xing family truly face danger, most of them will absolutely stick together.

  While Xing Qianshan and the others were insisting on staying, unbeknownst to them, Xing Peng and Shangguan Meiyu were watching them from the void above like a golden boy and jade girl. When Xing Peng heard the conversation among Xing Qianshan and the others, he was suddenly stunned. For the first time, he had a different view of the Xing family. If it weren't for the fact that Xing Peng could clearly sense that Xing Jianfeng and the others had absolutely not noticed them, he might even think they were putting on a show.

  "Peng brother, why aren't you going down to save them? Haven't you been dragging me around the Blackwater Plains these days just to find their whereabouts?" Shangguan Meiyu asked Xing Peng, filled with curiosity.

  "They haven't reached their last moment yet. When they do, I will save them!" Xing Peng said indifferently, keeping his gaze fixed on Xing Jianfeng and the others, ready to rescue them at any moment.

  "Oh!" Shangguan Meiyu nodded and did not continue to press, shifting her gaze back to Xing Jianfeng and the others, deeply moved.

  "This is a formation? Since when did the Xing family have such a formation that could be executed by a few people, and this formation's strength is not weak at all. Clearly just nine Human Level martial artists, yet they withstand the attack of three 'Blackwater Poison Frogs'." Shangguan Meiyu thought to herself that even her own family, which was quite remarkable, could not produce such a formation. As she watched, she pondered in her heart, occasionally glancing at Xing Peng beside her. For her, not only was the Xing family a mystery, but Xing Peng was even more of an enigma.

  Ever since Xing Peng killed Xiang Wentian, who possessed late Heaven Level strength, he had displayed some shocking techniques and a variety of exquisite martial arts moves, making it difficult for anyone to imagine how Xing Peng learned so many impressive martial arts at such a young age.

  ...

  Time passed as Xing Peng and Shangguan Meiyu watched. The situation for Xing Jianfeng and the others became increasingly dire. Although they had exerted all their strength, the three Blackwater Poison Frogs showed no signs of retreating. Various toxins covered the sky, putting Xing Jianfeng and the others in grave danger. Every so often, they would stuff a dark green pill into their mouths.

  "Xing Jianfeng, you must leave now. If not, once the antidote pills are exhausted, you really won't be able to survive here anymore!" Xing Qianshan once again bitterly said to Xing Jianfeng and the others.

  "Stop talking! Qianshan, save your energy to deal with these beasts. Don't give up until the very last moment. As always, if we are to die, we will die together!" Xing Jianfeng said.

  "Come on, consider it me begging you! If you just leave, I promise I can buy you some time. Just like you could bring out these antidote pills, which can't easily be bought with money, to detoxify us, not only have you been blessed before, but I have too. I have a super taboo Sky-Breaking Level martial art that can boost my strength to the peak of Earth Level." Xing Qianshan replied with a bitter smile.

  "What! A Sky-Breaking Level taboo martial art! I say, Qianshan, you're not lying to us, are you? You actually have such martial arts!" Xing Jianfeng and the others were simultaneously surprised as they glanced at Xing Qianshan, their movements in attack and positioning did not pause for a moment.

  "Of course, I'm not lying to you. At this point, do I have any need to lie to you?" Xing Qianshan shook his head earnestly.

  "Even if you're not lying, we won't leave! Qianshan, we are not fools. The side effects of Heaven Level martial arts are already terrifying, and the side effects of your Sky-Breaking Level martial arts must not be weaker. Once you use the taboo martial art, you are likely to pay with your life!" Xing Jianfeng said seriously.

  "You... what do I have to say for you to be willing to leave? Do you think I want to die? Damn it, who doesn't want to live, but we have to be able to survive! Although we can still withstand the attack of these three poison frogs for now, how much longer can this last? I'm already at my limit. Even if I don't use the taboo technique, I'll still die. Rather than that, can't you let me die with some dignity? Dying this way, at least I can earn the title of a martyr in the Xing family." Xing Qianshan was so anxious that he was almost jumping.

  "Speaking like this, I'm even less willing to leave. If you die like that, then for the rest of our lives, we would be burdened with your favor. I would rather die than carry such an irredeemable favor." Xing Jianfeng said.

  "Jianfeng is right. We don't want to carry such a favor. Just like we said, even if we have to argue till the skies fall, we will not leave!" Other young members of the Xing family agreed in unison.

  "..." Xing Qianshan didn't know what to say anymore. He was both touched and helpless.

  It seemed like Xing Qianshan and the others had been talking for a long time, but in reality, their conversation lasted only a moment. Under the attack of the poison frogs, their battle formation was showing signs of collapse. If they didn't leave now, once the formation collapsed, these Human Level warriors would surely die.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The poison frogs kept bombarding them, the sky was filled with venom raining down, and the air was filled with a pungent, corrosive smell, presenting a doomsday-like atmosphere within hundreds of meters.

  Hold on! Keep holding on!

  Xing Jianfeng and the others demonstrated an unprecedented unity, their spirits elevated under this attack, filled with a thicker-than-water sense of camaraderie. The people of the Xing family, are all Xing family people! They would not abandon each other, steadfast until death.
