Xing Peng felt the puzzlement of Shangguan Meiyu and Jin Disan, but he didn't clarify their doubts. Instead, he stared solemnly into the distance, his expression growing more grave by the moment. Since leading the way, he had been using the technique of 'Heavenly Sight, Earthly Listen.' At this moment, Xing Peng could clearly hear a devastating sandstorm sweeping towards them from afar. Initially, he thought it was just his misconception, but after listening carefully for a while, he was certain that a sandstorm was indeed approaching.

  "Everyone, follow me quickly, the sandstorm is coming!" Xing Peng suddenly shouted, then pulled Shangguan Meiyu and dashed towards a huge sand dune nearby. Upon reaching the dune, he struck it with his palm, unleashing a mountain-toppling force that smashed into the sand dune, creating a large pit. After the strike, Xing Peng's palm force did not cease; he continued to bombard the dune with several more palms, eventually carving out a cave dozens of meters wide.

  As soon as Xing Peng had created such a large cave, Xing Jianfeng and others rushed over. Following Xing Peng's signal, they all entered the cave. This action was not hidden from other martial artists following them. Seeing Xing Peng's sudden action, they exchanged glances and quickly excavated another cave nearby.

  After Xing Jianfeng and the others entered the cave, they didn't let their guard down. Under Xing Peng's direction, they all circulated their Profound Qi to the peak and formed the Single File Serpent Formation, staying inside the cave.

  As for Xing Peng, Shangguan Meiyu, and Jin Disan, the three Heaven Level martial artists, they didn't do the same. Although the sandstorm was extremely dangerous, they also had means to cope with it.

  Seeing that Xing Jianfeng and others had followed his instructions, Xing Peng immediately stepped out of the cave, then stood boldly in the open space, looking solemnly into the distance, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit and endless excitement.

  "Peng brother, are you planning to temper yourself with the sandstorm?" Shangguan Meiyu also followed Xing Peng out of the cave, looking at him curiously.

  Xing Peng nodded, "You better hurry back into the cave. Once the fierce wind starts, you, being a girl, might have a wardrobe malfunction."

  "No! If Peng brother is preparing to temper himself with the sandstorm, of course, I will also use the sandstorm to temper myself. I have only heard that sandstorms are very powerful, and even Heaven Level martial artists might be killed by sandstorms, but I have never seen one with my own eyes." Shangguan Meiyu played with a strand of her hair, firmly shaking her head.

  "Hehe, Fairy Yu, are you sure you want to stay here? If you have a wardrobe malfunction later, I won't pretend to be a gentleman." Jin Disan, hearing Shangguan Meiyu's words, chuckled mischievously.

  "If you dare, if you dare to peek, humph, I will blind your eyes," Shangguan Meiyu glared fiercely at Jin Disan.

  "Er..." Jin Disan looked dejectedly at Shangguan Meiyu, "Is it necessary to be so harsh? When the fierce wind blows later, even if I don't want to look, I might involuntarily see something I shouldn't."

  "Hmph, I don't care. If you see anything, you're dead! Although you, the little killer king, are very powerful, hehe, I know you are most afraid of your father. If your father finds out you dared to peek at your brother's close female friend, what do you think the killer king would do to you!" Shangguan Meiyu cunningly huffed.

  "Fine! I admit I can't provoke you!" Jin Disan stared at Shangguan Meiyu speechlessly, muttering to himself, "The old man wasn't wrong after all. Indeed, only the villain and women are difficult to raise." As he muttered, he suddenly turned into a long rainbow and dashed towards the distance, disappearing from Shangguan Meiyu's sight in the blink of an eye.

  Seeing this, Xing Peng shook his head amusedly, thinking, "When did this girl become my close female friend?"

  As soon as Jin Disan left, the surrounding air suddenly became turbulent. Then, a majestic pressure approached Xing Peng and Shangguan Meiyu from afar. The sky suddenly became oppressive, darkening until nothing could be seen within arm's reach, making life seem very insignificant under nature's might.

  "Boom!" Deafening explosions sounded continuously, shaking heaven and earth, turning everything upside down, covering tens of thousands of meters with a violent force.

  It was as if the apocalypse had arrived, the power of nature made Xing Peng and Shangguan Meiyu's faces involuntarily grow serious. Although they were prepared to use the sandstorm to temper themselves, the ferocity of the sandstorm was not just for show in books. Heaven Level martial artists could survive a sandstorm because they could quickly evade before its arrival, and few people would choose to face a sandstorm head-on like Xing Peng and Shangguan Meiyu.

  Flying sand and rocks, dark skies, and strong winds made it painfully difficult to see. Xing Peng and Shangguan Meiyu's hair whipped about like black torrents the moment the sandstorm arrived.

  Standing in the open, they looked like a golden boy and jade girl, their eyes determined, and the Profound Qi in their bodies surged intensely, ready to face the sandstorm at any moment.

  "Boom!" The sandstorm, carrying vast clouds of sand like a ferocious dragon, came upon Xing Peng and Shangguan Meiyu in the blink of an eye, attempting to swallow them whole.

  "Ethereal Fairy Step!"

  "Wind Shadow Steps!"

  The moment the sandstorm struck, Xing Peng and Shangguan Meiyu simultaneously executed their most proficient movement techniques. With these techniques, they moved through the sandstorm like flying fish.

  As the saying goes, let him be strong, and I will be the gentle breeze that sweeps the mountain!

  Facing such mighty force, neither Xing Peng nor Shangguan Meiyu tried to resist the sandstorm recklessly. Although their current strength seemed not bad, having reached Heaven Level, the sandstorm before them was still not something they could easily conquer.

  The sandstorm was filled with a large amount of yellow sand. Although Xing Peng and Shangguan Meiyu both had exceptional movement techniques that allowed them to move through the sandstorm, the yellow sand still landed on them in large quantities.

  Under normal circumstances, this yellow sand wouldn't have much offensive power. However, when mixed into a sandstorm, its force became significantly formidable. As this yellow sand swept over Xing Peng and Shangguan Meiyu with the sandstorm, their faces involuntarily changed, and they unreservedly executed their body-protecting techniques.
