The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Page 139

The steepness of Mount Hua was beyond their expectations.

Three people are still missing, and Ji Wushi can only pin his hopes on these three.

In fact, it would be safer for him to go and scout ahead in this situation. He is quite capable, but a wise man avoids dangerous situations. He doesn't necessarily have to do many things himself, so he can survive longer in this world.

After waiting for a long time, Ji Wushi finally saw three figures above the cliff.

The three of them carefully climbed down the cliff, moving with extreme caution.

bang~

The three of them finally landed easily.

“My three brothers, you are finally safe and sound. I was on tenterhooks down here while you were up there without any news. Now that I see you all safe and sound, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”

Ji Wushi didn't ask directly; instead, he first tried to build rapport.

The three men had initially been somewhat resentful of Ji Wushi after seeing their companions fall one by one, but their expressions softened considerably after hearing his words.

"I'm sorry for your concern, Mr. Ji."

Seeing the changes in their expressions, Ji Wushi's smile deepened.

"Have the three brothers found the way up?"

The three smiled upon hearing this and nodded.

"Mount Hua is indeed difficult to climb, but the three of us have finally found a way up."

Ji Wushi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

He carefully observed the terrain and found that it should be possible to get up here. The three men's replies were indeed similar to his guess.

Ji Wushi quickly asked, "Did you find anyone guarding the place when you went up? What was the situation up there?"

One of the men then recounted everything they saw after they went up there.

"Their back mountain is unguarded. There are people only near Lao Jun Li Gou, which is some distance from the back mountain."

“We have already noted down the terrain and the distribution of people, as well as the route to get up there.”

After the man finished speaking, he drew the route they had found and the terrain on the ground. Ji Wushi glanced at it a few times and memorized it.

Upon seeing this, Ji Wushi couldn't help but smile.

We've finally found a breakthrough.

"Three brothers, did you not alert them when you went up?"

The three of them wore smug smiles.

"Mr. Ji, please rest assured, absolutely no one has discovered it."

The three of them had been very careful when they went up, and they were certain that everything was foolproof.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wushi finally felt relieved and smiled, "In that case, let's hurry back and tell the Holy Envoys so that we can organize a breakout as soon as possible."

Another path has been found, and without further delay, Ji Wushi and the remaining three returned directly to the base camp.

"Mr. Ji, how is the situation?"

When Sima Da and the others saw that Ji Wushi had finally returned, they quickly inquired about the outcome.

Ji Wushi smiled.

“Island Master Sima, I have found a path that leads to the back of the North Peak.”

The others looked delighted upon hearing this.

Ji Wushi then recounted what the three men had seen, and the crowd's joy deepened upon hearing this.

"it is good!"

One of them couldn't help but shout.

"There is no time to lose. Everyone, please inform the Holy Envoy as soon as possible and then organize your forces."

Ji Wushi said.

Sima Da understood his meaning and said directly, "I will go and request an audience with the Holy Envoy."

After saying that, he left immediately and returned shortly afterward, holding a token in his hand.

"The Holy Envoy has agreed."

Sima Da raised the token in his hand.

These martial arts figures are unruly, especially the experts. It's difficult to get them to follow orders. This was the case during the previous attack on the mountain. They simply ignored commands and stood by coldly. During the attack on Thousand-Foot Cliff, most of the attackers were members of their own gangs. Now, with the tokens temporarily given to Sima Da by the Four Immortals of Peach Valley, they can be commanded.

After receiving the token, Sima Da hurriedly left to organize his men. Only half an hour later, Sima Da returned with forty or fifty men.

These people were all vigorous and fierce, with extraordinary auras; they were all experts.

"Most of these are top-notch martial arts masters, and the rest are also excellent in lightness skills and martial arts."

Sima Da explained the strength and situation of these people to Ji Wushi.

These were all handpicked by him, and indeed, having the token made it much easier to command these people to do their jobs.

Ji Wushi glanced at these people and nodded to himself.

He could tell that these people were all skilled in martial arts.

In the martial arts world, the classification of top-tier masters is rather general and not entirely based on internal strength. For example, some who practice external martial arts have extremely powerful external strength and can rival some top-tier masters. Or there are those who use special methods and follow unorthodox paths. They may not be able to defeat top-tier masters face-to-face, but their methods make even top-tier masters extremely wary.

These exceptional masters can be classified as first-rate. After all, most battles in the martial arts world are not decided solely by internal strength. Only a few of the top masters fight each other. In the martial arts world, strength is generally measured by a combination of factors.

However, these people are still somewhat different from true top-tier masters.

"lets go."

Ji Wushi said something and then prepared to lead these experts to the back mountain.

Seeing that they had left, Sima Da's side also prepared to begin their attack on the mountain.

Unlike before, when most of those who attacked Thousand-Foot Cliff were just relatively strong ordinary people, this time they were all experts.

The previous feint with arrows has stopped, and a new offensive has begun.

"start!"

Sima Da raised his token high, and the group of martial arts practitioners began a large-scale attack on the mountain.

Bang!

A master stepped onto the stone steps and floated upwards like a swallow.

The other masters also began to climb the Thousand-Foot Cliff.

A man grinned menacingly, his arm muscles bulging. He reached out and grabbed the stone steps, using his strength to climb upwards at incredible speed.

Some of the bolder ones didn't even bother with the stone steps, instead relying on their light-footed skills to leap between the cliffs on either side.

……

"Ok?"

On the thousand-foot-high cliff, Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow.

He saw that the arrow barrage below had stopped, but not long after, a large-scale ascent of the Thousand-Foot Cliff began. Unlike before, these people all knew martial arts and climbed the mountain very quickly; some even leaped a distance with a light jump.

All are masters.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning's expression turned serious, and he gripped his sword tightly.

call out!

A skilled fighter leaped forward, the first to charge up, and grinned menacingly at Jiang Ning.

when!

As the swords clashed, the expert's arm jolted, the force from the longsword making his arm numb. Before he could retaliate, Jiang Ning delivered a spinning horizontal kick to his chest, causing him excruciating pain. He was sent flying and plummeted towards the cliff beside him.

Just as they dealt with one person, two more attacked from the front and one from the back.

Jiang Ning glanced left and right, then spun around in mid-air and delivered a double side kick, sending the two men tumbling off the cliff.

"drink!"

Another person wielding a monk's knife came at him. Jiang Ning, who was still in mid-air, spun around to avoid the knife. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the tip of his sword sliced ​​across the man's throat. With a soft "plop," the man's throat was cut open.

Jiang Ning landed, turned around, and kicked the man, sending him crashing down.

In a short time, four people were dealt with, and the rest of the men below stopped what they were doing, their eyes showing fear.

Looking at the people below, Jiang Ning's cold face revealed a smile. He casually flicked the sword in his hand, and the bloodstains on the sword were flung onto the cliff face beside him.

Jiang Ning stretched his body, adjusted his breathing, and reached his peak physical condition.

After a brief pause, the crowd below surged forward again.

One man leaped up from the stone steps of the Thousand-Foot Cliff and attacked Jiang Ning's lower body, while three others attacked from the cliffs on both sides.

Seeing the four men attacking at the same time, Jiang Ning flipped over and leaped up, slashing down with his sword. He launched five consecutive sword strikes at one of them, causing the man's weapon to slip from his hand. Before the man could retaliate, Jiang Ning kicked him off the cliff. Then, he swung his sword diagonally and slashed down at the other man's head.

Jiang Ning was too fast, and the man didn't have time to react. He hurriedly raised his weapon to block, but it was too late. A scar appeared on his face, running from his brow to his chin.

when!

As someone thrust at him, Jiang Ning drew his sword, turned around, and parried with a backhand. The tip of the man's weapon struck the blade of his sword, preventing further penetration.

Jiang Ning drew his sword and pulled it down, the blade making a scraping sound. Then he swung the sword horizontally and sliced ​​it across the man's neck.

call out!

Another expert has arrived.

Jiang Ning remained expressionless, then reached out and pulled the man whose neck had just been slashed, holding him in front of him. With a soft splatter, the man he had pulled to shield him from the knife had his stomach slashed open.

Chapter 197: Unleashing a Bloodbath

"Uh……"

The man's eyes widened, and he looked down at his stomach, where his intestines had already spilled out.

Jiang Ning grabbed him by the back of the neck and slammed him to the left, colliding with the figure attacking from the left. The two fell off the cliff.

"I'll meet you!"

Another burly man charged up from below the Thousand-Foot Cliff, wielding a sword with extraordinary ferocity.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning fell backward.

when!

The heavy broadsword struck the stone wall, sending fragments of stone flying.

The burly man's expression was fierce as he drew his sword and slashed down, but Jiang Ning dodged by flipping over.

when!when!when!

The burly man slashed five times, each strike landing on the ground, but he was always just a little short of Jiang Ning.

call out!

Before Jiang Ning could stand up, another expert rushed up from below, wielding a short blade with a reverse grip and thrusting it straight at his face.

"Junior Brother Jiang Ning!"

Linghu Chong was startled and stood up, ready to draw his sword and rush to his rescue in the next second.

Faced with this swift attack, Jiang Ning remained calm, twisted his waist, supported himself with one palm, and leaped up with his right leg, delivering a powerful overhead kick to the man's neck. With a soft crack, the man's neck snapped, and his body fell to the ground.

call out!

A strong wind blew.

Jiang Ning parried with his sword, and with a loud clang, the sword trembled. Then, another man wielding a large hammer rushed up from below and smashed it down on Jiang Ning. The burly man who had been wielding a large knife also launched a fierce attack on Jiang Ning.

These two were skilled in martial arts and their techniques were quite strong; Jiang Ning was unable to defeat them within a few moves.

The two attacked fiercely, each move aimed directly at Jiang Ning's life.

boom!
