Wuxia: Become the 100-Victory Sword King at the Beginning

Chapter 152: Lin Wanqing kills the three villains with her sword, Shi Feiyang kills the snake king with his knife

Shi Feiyang, Lin Wanqing, and Xie Wen swiftly left Yizhou City, reaching out to accept the reins respectfully handed over by the Xiongying Society disciples. With nimble movements, they leaped onto their horses like flying swallows, their legs gently clamped around their bellies. With a neigh, the horses unleashed their hooves and galloped off, heading straight for the Yingzui Rock branch.

It was midsummer, and the Liaodong region seemed to be placed in a huge steamer.

The sun hangs high in the sky, shining brightly. The scorching rays are like countless red-hot steel needles, piercing straight into the earth.

The sun was like a giant burning fireball, releasing endless heat and scorching the earth to an unbearable temperature.

The heat waves rolled in, coming one after another like a surging tide. The air was filled with almost tangible high temperatures, as if every inch of air was on fire, and the entire environment was filled with suffocating heat.

The lush trees lining the road should have been vibrant and full of life, but in this scorching heat, they lacked their former energy. Their lush branches drooped, as if drained of their strength and vitality, drooping listlessly. They trembled slightly in the heatwave, silently enduring the relentless torment of the high temperature. The clatter of horse hooves echoed across the dry, hard road, each thud raising a small cloud of dust.

Shi Feiyang, Lin Wanqing and Xie Wen rode at full speed, their figures appearing and disappearing in the rolling heat wave, like a flowing silhouette.

That night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a cool and bright light, illuminating the earth.

The moonlight was pure and flawless, bringing a rare coolness to this hot summer night. The silver moonlight gently fell on Eagle's Beak Rock, covering the steep rock with a thin layer of silver gauze, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility.

Eagle's Beak Rock is as steep as if it was cut by a knife, and it reaches the sky. Under the moonlight, it looks even more majestic, like an eagle spreading its wings and ready to fly, with its beak slightly raised, as if it is about to peck at the distant and deep starry sky.

On the rock wall, vines are entwined and ancient trees are towering. Under the moonlight, they cast mottled shadows, injecting some vitality and vigor into this quiet night.

Shi Feiyang, Lin Wanqing, Xie Wen and a group of disciples from the Xiongying Society, accompanied by the moonlight, galloped on horseback and quickly returned to the foot of Eagle's Beak Rock.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it the coolness of the mountains, softly blowing across the cheeks of Shi Feiyang and others, as if it was nature's most gentle comfort.

They stood under Eagle's Beak Rock, gazing up at the bright moon, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of pride and ambition in their hearts.

They jumped off their horses one after another, and skillfully handed their horses to the care of the disciples of the Foothill Inn. Then they walked towards the ruins of Snow Eagle Castle with steady steps.

Under the deep cover of night, the moon in the sky is like a huge silver mirror, and the moonlight it sheds is like rippling silver water waves, quietly pouring down on the ruins of Snow Eagle Castle on Eagle Rock.

Shi Feiyang, Lin Wanqing and Xie Wen used the faint and cold moonlight to carefully move between the broken walls and explore this ancient ruin.

In this environment shrouded in deathly silence, it is so quiet that even time seems to have frozen. Only the occasional chirping of night birds is like a sharp blade, instantly cutting through the suffocating tranquility and making people feel a little chilly.

However, in this dead of night, an unexpected scene suddenly came into their eyes.

In that deep pit, there was a faint candlelight flickering. The swaying flame danced in the darkness, like a weak but tenacious star of hope, shining brightly in the endless darkness.

This scene was like a flash of lightning, exploding in the hearts of Lin Wanqing, Xie Wen and others.

They couldn't help but feel stunned, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

Lin Wanqing's eyes widened instantly, filled with shock and confusion. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to burst through her chest. Her heart was filled with disbelief and deep doubts.

Xie Wen's breathing also became rapid, and he subconsciously clenched his fists. The tense atmosphere was like an invisible net, surrounding them tightly, making people feel an invisible pressure.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang lowered his voice and calmly suggested, "I'll go down and find out what's going on!" Hearing this, Lin Wanqing hurriedly reached out and grabbed Shi Feiyang's sleeve, anxiously dissuading him, "No! You are not an ordinary person. You are the leader of the Xiongying Society, commanding 250,000 disciples. You shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire Xiongying Society, and you must not make any mistakes." Her words were full of worry and concern, fearing that Shi Feiyang would encounter some unexpected situation.

Xie Wenzhe had a determined look on his face. He took a step forward and said in a confident tone, "Let me go down. I'm good at light work!" Before he finished speaking, he was like an agile monkey. Without waiting for Shi Feiyang and Lin Wanqing to respond, he tapped the ground with his toes and jumped lightly into the deep pit.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang hurriedly said to Lin Wanqing, "Xie Wen's Qinggong is indeed superb, but his martial arts skills are a bit mediocre. Trust me, it will be fine. You stay on the ground and provide support."

After saying this, he looked determined and quickly drew out the Burmese knife from his waist. The blade flashed with a cold light and he jumped into the deep pit immediately afterwards.

In the moment of briefly hovering in the air, Shi Feiyang used the "Thousand-Jin Pendant", and the true energy in his body circulated. His body fell rapidly like a thousand-jin boulder, and in a blink of an eye, he slid down side by side with Xie Wen.

When the two arrived at the bottom of the pit, they were slightly stunned by the scene before them, which seemed to be completely beyond their expectations.

There are relatively complete rooms here with neat layout, which are in sharp contrast with the ruins outside. It seems like another world, a forgotten corner.

Seeing this, Xie Wen reached out and gently pushed Shi Feiyang aside, insisting on leading the charge. With a focused expression, he drew his sword in one hand and tightly gripped the Tiancan silk net in the other. He cautiously approached the door, where a ladder rope was coiled next to it.

Xie Wen gently pushed open the door.

However, just as he was about to step into the room, his steps suddenly froze, and his whole body seemed to be frozen, as if he was shocked by the scene before him and unable to move.

Inside the room, the flickering candlelight illuminated several familiar faces. They were Liu Dayu, Liu Guihua, and Liu Dayu's wife, Qin Yuanyao. They seemed to be waiting for something, or perhaps guarding something.

"Fei Yang? Is that you? How come you are here?" Liu Guihua was surprised to be the first to notice Xie Wen. Her eyes passed through Xie Wen's shoulder and noticed Shi Feiyang behind him. She couldn't help but shout in a trembling voice.

Her eyes suddenly filled with tears, swirling in them before spilling out, slowly trickling down her cheeks. Surprise and bewilderment filled her. Her heartbeat quickened, her emotions agitated. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, checking the figure before her once more. She felt a long-lost warmth and intimacy, mixed with a complex feeling she couldn't put into words.

Shi Feiyang snorted coldly, then turned around and prepared to leave this place of trouble.

However, just as he turned around, he unexpectedly found that Lin Wanqing was standing quietly in front of him, like a ghost.

Lin Wanqing's eyes were filled with concern and worry. In her heart, Shi Feiyang's life was worth far more than her own. To her, Shi Feiyang's safety was more important than anything else, and she was willing to give everything for him.

Therefore, when Shi Feiyang decided to jump into the bottomless pit, Lin Wanqing followed him without any hesitation and jumped down bravely.

Her lightness skill was not as superb as Shi Feiyang's, so when she landed, she was a moment slower than Shi Feiyang.

In the deep pit, Lin Wanqing stretched out her hands, as if to build an indestructible line of defense for Shi Feiyang.

She stood in front of him, her eyes revealing determination and persistence.

She seemed to be announcing to the world that she would protect Shi Feiyang at all costs and use everything she had to protect him from any harm.

A young man in black clothes came forward as fast as an arrow.

He had an upright figure and walked steadily, each step was decisive and efficient. He was none other than Li Chenfeng, the leader of the Qingluan Peak branch of the Xiongying Society.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were full of anxiety and solemnity, as if he was carrying a heavy burden, and it was obvious that he had something important to discuss.

He reached Shi Feiyang in a few steps at lightning speed. When he stretched out his hand, his movements were a little anxious but respectful, and he carefully grabbed Shi Feiyang's sleeve.

He lowered his head slightly, not daring to look Shi Feiyang in the eye. His voice was extremely low, yet it was filled with sincerity. "Master, I was truly helpless and took this action on my own. The Liu Dayou siblings have encountered tremendous difficulties, and it's truly pitiful. You and Elder Lin have been away in Yizhou for two months, and matters were extremely urgent. I had no time to discuss this with you, so I took it upon myself to give them this place to stay."

After saying that, he bent his legs and knelt in front of Shi Feiyang with a plop, but his back was straight, his face full of guilt, silently expressing his helplessness and self-blame.

Shi Feiyang was slightly startled after hearing Li Chenfeng's words, a look of surprise flashing across his face. He quickly sheathed his knife and prepared to reach out and help Li Chenfeng, who was kneeling on the ground, to his feet.

Liu Guihua's eyes were filled with tears. Like a wounded fawn, she threw herself tearfully into Shi Feiyang's arms. Her movements were filled with helplessness and dependence, as she searched for a harbor to rely on, hoping to find a trace of comfort and security in this man's arms.

Li Chenfeng knelt aside, secretly looking up, and saw Lin Wanqing standing there with a gloomy expression. He secretly groaned inwardly and silently prayed that his decision would not ruin the overall situation. After everyone sat in a circle, Li Chenfeng stood up.

He straightened his back, clenched his fists at his sides, and began to describe the whole story in detail with a firm and focused look in his eyes.

The pit they were in was extremely hostile. It was dark and damp, with thick moss covering the walls. Water droplets dripped from the ceiling from time to time, forming puddles of muddy water on the ground.

The air was filled with a pungent stench of decay, as if something was rotting in a dark corner.

The ground is uneven, covered with sharp stones and potholes. If you are not careful while walking on it, you may sprain your ankle.

However, Li Chenfeng didn't care about the harsh environment.

His voice was loud and clear, without the slightest tremor or hesitation: "Chief, since Brother Liu Dayou left the Xiongying Society, he has resumed his old business and reorganized the Geshang Escort Agency. This time he was responsible for escorting the court's money and grain to Liaodong, but encountered the poisonous hands of the Snake King Feng Shao. Feng Shao took advantage of the opportunity when poisonous snakes appeared in early summer and commanded the snakes to bite and kill ten escorts of the Geshang Escort Agency, while the evil bandits of the Xuanwu Hall took the opportunity to steal the money and grain. Now Brother Liu has not only become a wanted criminal of the court, but also been captured by Feng Shao and the Liaodong Martial Alliance. "I issued a Green Forest Order to pursue them. You and Elder Lin were supporting Yizhou in its fight against the Japanese pirates. Seeing the injustice, I couldn't bear to see Brother Liu and his family suffer, so I stepped in to rescue them. But I couldn't think of a better way to protect them, so I placed them here near our Eagle Rock branch, confident that the evil Feng Shao wouldn't dare attack them easily. I know I acted rashly, and I beg the Chief to punish me." He knelt on one knee again, bowing his head and awaiting Shi Feiyang's verdict.

After listening to this, Xie Wen snorted coldly and angrily proposed to eradicate Xuanwu Hall.

When Li Chenfeng heard what Xie Wen said, his eyes instantly lit up, and a glimmer of excitement and anticipation flashed in his eyes, like bright stars suddenly blooming in the night sky.

He suddenly raised his head, leaned forward, and responded eagerly and firmly, "Brother Xie, you're absolutely right! I'll go investigate the Xuanwu Hall right now. No matter where they're hiding, even if it's a den of danger, I'll bring back the news. Our Xiongying Society is renowned in the martial arts world. How can we be afraid of these villains!"

At this moment, the cold and damp atmosphere in the deep pit became increasingly strong. The moss on the wall flickered with an eerie glow in the dim light. The dripping sound of falling water droplets was like a countdown clock, adding a bit of tension to the depressing atmosphere.

Lin Wanqing suggested that a careful plan should be made.

Li Chenfeng nodded vigorously, the movement of nodding was firm and decisive, as if he wanted to use this strength to express his determination.

His eyes were filled with approval, like a devout believer looking up to his inner deity. He said, "Elder Lin, you've considered this very carefully. We walk the jianghu, on the edge of a knife, licking blood. We must never fight a battle unprepared. I will immediately arrange for our personnel to strictly guard the branch office, ensuring its safety as if it were their own life. Furthermore, they will closely monitor the transmission of information from other branches, like a hawk watching its prey. We must not allow any mistakes to derail the overall situation."

The stench of decay within the pit grew stronger as the group chatted, but Li Chenfeng seemed oblivious, completely absorbed in the planning and execution of his plan. Shi Feiyang nodded slightly, a gentle smile on his face, and from the imperceptible deerskin pouch at his waist, he pulled three gold leaves and several silver ingots. He handed these treasures to Liu Dayou, his eyes filled with trust and expectation, and instructed, "Brother Liu, continue your pretense of escorting the convoy tomorrow. Those bandits, coveting the money and supplies, will surely reveal themselves. We will use this opportunity to lure out the Xuanwu Hall gang and completely eliminate them, restoring peace to the Jianghu."

As Shi Feiyang spoke, he exuded an unquestionable domineering aura, as if he was the king who could dominate the fate of the world, vowing to wipe out all the injustices in the world.

The decision was made. Li Chenfeng immediately straightened his back, like a tenacious pine tree, and promised loudly, "Master, you are wise! I will do it right away and handle it properly. If there is any mistake, I am willing to accept the punishment and will never let you down!"

He stood up, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his eyes flashing with indomitable fighting spirit and firm determination, like a warrior about to step onto the battlefield, fearless of any difficulties or obstacles.

When Liu Dayu heard Shi Feiyang invite him to return to the Xiongying Club, the emotion in his heart surged out like a flood that broke through a dam.

His legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud, tears welling up in his eyes as he burst into tears.

Li Chenfeng witnessed this scene from the side and a relieved smile appeared on his face. The smile was warm and sincere.

He walked forward, gently patted Liu Dayou on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Liu, from now on, we are a family again. With such a wise and powerful leader like the Chief, the Xiongying Society will surely prosper!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the deep pit was slightly relaxed by this heartwarming scene, and the suppressed tension was also alleviated.

When Liu Guihua saw Shi Feiyang's arrangement, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. Her eyes were full of anxiety, and she rushed towards Shi Feiyang again with tears in her eyes, her steps so hurried that she almost fell.

She was eager to reconcile with Shi Feiyang, and her mind kept replaying the good times they had spent together, fantasizing about returning to the past. However, Shi Feiyang's expression remained calm, and his eyes revealed a hint of firm determination.

He had made up his mind, and he turned around suddenly, his movements decisive and smooth, without the slightest hesitation. He reached out and embraced Lin Wanqing in his arms, then walked away from the simple wooden house with steady steps.

Inside the wooden house, Liu Guihua stood still, watching Shi Feiyang's back gradually walking away, tears flowing uncontrollably.

Her heart was filled with endless regret, regretting that she had left Shi Feiyang when he was seriously ill. Now she could only helplessly watch Shi Feiyang hugging and leaving with someone else, and the sadness and pain in her heart overwhelmed her like a tide.

Shi Feiyang embraced Lin Wanqing as they stepped into the courtyard. The air was filled with the fragrance of moist earth, and moonlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows. Shi Feiyang stepped lightly, his movements as graceful as a fluttering butterfly. Embracing Lin Wanqing, he leaped lightly into the air, flying out of the pit.

Immediately afterwards, he displayed his peerless lightness skill of "Thousand Miles Without Stopping", and his figure shuttled through the night like lightning, flying towards Eagle's Beak Rock with Lin Wanqing.

Lin Wanqing was suddenly hugged tightly by Shi Feiyang. She felt as if all the strength in her body disappeared in an instant, and she leaned weakly in Shi Feiyang's arms.

Her cheeks were flushed like the sunset in the sky. She felt nervous and happy at the same time. She felt like she was in a dream. She could not believe that she was lying in Shi Feiyang's broad arms.

After Shi Feiyang and Lin Wanqing left, Li Chenfeng stared in the direction they had disappeared, his gaze firm and determined. The dim light from the pit shone on his face, outlining his resolute features. He vowed to himself that he would fully assist the leader in eradicating the Xuanwu Hall and defend the dignity and honor of the Xiongying Society, even if it meant sacrificing everything.

Xie Wenchao, Liu Dayu and others nodded, then used their lightness skills to quickly leave.

Li Chenfeng immediately pulled himself together, swinging the rope ladder and climbing out of the pit. He whispered to his men to rally the men from the nearby Xiongying Guild's Qingluan branch. His voice was steady and powerful, echoing through the dim pit. Each command was clear and unambiguous, like a solid foundation, giving his men confidence and boosting their morale.

The brothers quickly gathered together, and under the leadership of Li Chenfeng, they marched towards Xuanwu Hall like an unstoppable torrent, and ambushed near Xuanwu Hall.

In the night, their figures were looming.

But that firm determination and high fighting spirit are like a burning flame, illuminating the way forward.

Shi Feiyang and Lin Wanqing galloped all the way to the cliff of Eagle's Beak Rock.

He gently put Lin Wanqing down, and they smiled at each other. The tacit understanding and warmth between them seemed particularly precious in the night.

Lin Wanqing gently nestled in Shi Feiyang's arms, immersed in an unprecedented sense of security. She whispered, "Feiyang, thank you for being so kind to me. I feel like I've been reborn."

Shi Feiyang smiled, stroked her hair, and responded softly: "Wanqing, you are the most precious person in my life. No matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side." The two hugged each other tightly on the edge of the cliff, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.

Soon, Shi Feiyang couldn't help but pick up Lin Wanqing and took her back to an elegant wooden house at the branch. The two of them slept in each other's arms, immersed in the warmth of the quilt. Lin Wanqing was immersed in happiness and became Shi Feiyang's wife.

Under the blazing sun of midsummer, the scorching sun poured down unimpeded on the Liaodong Road, baking the earth to a scorching heat. The sweltering air trembled slightly as if on fire. Liu Dayou, Qin Yuanyao and his wife, his sister Liu Guihua, and several escorts drove a carriage, pretending to escort a caravan.

Liu Dayou's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, his rough hands tightly gripping the reins, his knuckles turning white from the force, his eyes as alert as an eagle, constantly scanning the surroundings, not missing any slight movement.

Although Qin Yuanyao was a woman, she stood tall and straight, her expression resolute. Her long sword rested at her side, the hilt warm from her grip, ready to unsheathe at any moment. Liu Guihua sat beside the shaft of the cart, her slender fingers tugging at the edge of her clothes anxiously, her palms wet with sweat, her clothes soaked. She felt a mixture of nervousness and regret, consumed by the regret of having left Shi Feiyang. She could only hope to atone for her mistakes in this dangerous operation.

The escorts all had solemn expressions, their lips tightly pursed, and their weapons tightly gripped. They knew that this mission was a life-or-death mission, but they were all determined to die and stayed at their respective posts.

The escort carriage moved forward slowly, and its heavy wheels left deep ruts on the dry and hard ground.

Suddenly, a sinister laugh, like the cry of a night owl, emanated from the lush trees lining the road. "Haha, Liu Dayou, I didn't expect you to show up here. Today is the day you die!"

Following the laughter, Feng Shao, the leader of the Xuanwu Hall and the "Poisonous Snake King," slowly emerged. He was dressed in a long black robe, the hems of his clothes fluttering in the wind, like a ghost in the night.

His face was as dark as ink, and in his deep eye sockets, his eyes were filled with ferocity and greed, like a wolf staring at its prey.

Behind him followed a group of vicious bandits holding sharp knives. All of them were burly, with fleshy faces and ferocious looks. They instantly surrounded Liu Dayu and others.

Seeing this, Liu Dayu quickly drew out the long sword from his waist. The blade flashed with cold light, reflecting his angry face.

He roared angrily, his voice as loud as a bell: "Feng Shao, you evil villain, today I will make you pay for what you have done!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked his feet hard and rushed towards Feng Shao like an arrow. He raised the long sword in his hand high and slashed down with a whistling sound. The air seemed to be cracked by the sharp sword.

This time, in order to lure the enemy deeper, Liu Dayu did not use his famous "Two-Finger Zen" magic, but casually waved a few sword techniques, which was undoubtedly a daring adventure.

Feng Shao sneered, nimbly dodged to the side, and easily avoided the fatal blow.

Qin Yuanyao and Liu Guihua were not to be outdone, and quickly grabbed their weapons. Qin Yuanyao's brows furrowed, a murderous look in his eyes. He swung his long sword in a few gorgeous movements, like a nimble snake, and stabbed at the bandit beside him.

The evil bandits screamed and waved their weapons to resist. For a moment, the sound of weapons colliding "clang clang" could be heard and sparks flew everywhere.

Although Liu Guihua seemed a little flustered and her hands were shaking slightly, she tried her best, waving the dagger in her hand continuously, trying to find a glimmer of hope in this chaotic battle and fighting to protect herself and her companions.

Of course, this was just a superficial pretense of panic. Like her brother Liu Dayou, she did not use her famous "rainbow whip method", but took the risk of using a dagger. Moreover, her knife skills were not very proficient.

Several escorts stood back to back in a circle, protecting the escort carriage firmly in the center. They held spears like a forest in their hands, with the tips of the spears flashing with cold light. Every time they thrust out, they were filled with resolute momentum, fighting a desperate battle with the bandits.

The shouts and sounds of weapons clashing intertwined and echoed throughout the valley, startling the birds perched on the branches.

However, the number of evil bandits in Xuanwu Hall was large, and they kept pouring in like a tide. Liu Dayou and others gradually became unable to cope with it and fell into trouble.

At this critical moment, Feng Shao snorted coldly, his lips opened and closed quickly, and he muttered something.

In an instant, countless poisonous snakes hissed and emerged from the surrounding grass and woods.

These poisonous snakes have various shapes. Some are emerald green all over, as if carved from jade; some are covered with colorful patterns, which are bright and eye-catching but also reveal deadly danger. Each one exudes a chilling aura.

They crawled towards Liu Dayu and others quickly at such a fast speed that the ground seemed to tremble slightly because of their crawling.

Liu Dayou and others were shocked when they saw this.

Liu Guihua was so frightened that her face turned pale as paper. She almost dropped the weapon in her hand and her legs went slightly weak.

Qin Yuanyao forced herself to remain calm, her eyes wide open as she shouted, "Everyone be careful, don't get bit by the venomous snake!"

She shouted and waved her long knife, trying to drive away the approaching poisonous snake.

At this extremely critical moment, a shout was heard: "Don't be afraid, we are coming!" Li Chenfeng led the disciples of the Qingluan Peak branch of the Xiongying Society, and they came from all directions like a tiger descending from the mountain.

They were dressed in uniform, their eyes were determined, and the sharp blades in their hands flashed coldly in the sunlight.

As soon as they rushed into the enemy camp, they started a fierce melee with the bandits from Xuanwu Hall.

Li Chenfeng was agile, and the long sword in his hand was dancing with flashing sword flowers, and each sword stabbed at the evil bandit's vital points.

The disciples beside him were not willing to be left behind. Some used their boxing skills, with the wind blowing loudly, beating the evil bandits back again and again; some used their knives to chop, with the blades flashing sharply, killing the evil bandits without leaving a single piece of armor.

Feng Shao saw that the situation was not good, but he did not panic.

He let out a strange long howl towards the sky, and once again used the beast taming technique, making a series of strange noises from his mouth.

Suddenly, the poisonous snakes that had originally attacked Liu Dayu and others changed direction as if they had heard a command, spitting out their tongues and opening their bloody mouths, and turned to pounce madly on the disciples of the Xiongying Society.

For a moment, the scene became even more chaotic. Shouts, hisses of snakes, and the sounds of weapons clashing mixed together, interweaving into a terrifying melody that was terrifying.

Just as everyone was in dire straits, "Eagle Detective" Xie Wen soared in. His figure was lithe and agile, like a soaring eagle, breaking through the wind with force. Holding the Heavenly Silk Net in his hand, he swung it with all his might. The net instantly unfolded in the air, like a giant white flower, precisely enveloping Liu Dayou, Qin Yuanyao, Liu Guihua, Li Chenfeng, and the others.

Afterwards, Xie Wen gripped the net rope tightly with both hands, gritted his teeth, tensed his arm muscles, and pulled hard, trying to pull everyone up.

However, the weight of Liu Dayou and the others was far beyond his imagination. Xie Wen only felt his arms sink, as if he was pulling a thousand-pound boulder. He only pulled them a few feet off the ground, and his arms began to ache. His muscles seemed to be torn apart, and everyone slowly sank down again.

Upon seeing this, countless poisonous snakes spit out their tongues, opened their bloody mouths again, and pounced on them madly, their tongues almost touching the corners of everyone's clothes.

Beads of sweat rolled down Xie Wen's forehead. He gritted his teeth, his teeth chattering, and once again exerted all his strength to pull Liu Dayou and the others a few feet off the ground. But he didn't hold on for long, his strength gradually failing him, and they slowly sank again.

At this time, Xie Wen's arms were shaking like a candle in the wind, but the determination in his eyes had not diminished in the slightest. His gaze was like a torch, fixed on the people below, with only one thought in his mind: Never give up, you must save these people.

Liu Dayou and others in the net also held their breath, nervously waiting for the decision of fate. Every time they sank, their hearts rose to their throats. Life and death were hanging by a thread. The fate of everyone was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

At that critical moment, a dark figure shot down from the sky like a meteor. It was Shi Feiyang. His posture was nimble, like a swooping hawk, and his feet landed firmly on the ground, creating a strong airflow that swept the surrounding dust into the air.

At the same time, the Mingyu Gong in Shi Feiyang's body instantly reached the eighth level - "Supreme Forgetfulness".

In an instant, the aura around him suddenly changed, and an extreme chill spread rapidly from him like a surging tide.

Shi Feiyang closed his eyes tightly, his face stern, the veins on his forehead bulging slightly. As the Mingyu Gong was activated, a thin layer of frost gradually formed around his body. The frost was crystal clear, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

The chill emanating from him grew stronger and stronger, freezing the air and making a slight "crackling" sound.

Those venomous snakes that were originally biting madly, under the invasion of this cold air, instantly stopped moving as if they were cast under a spell.

A thick layer of ice quickly formed on the surface of their bodies, and their originally agile snake tongues were frozen in mid-air. They hung stiffly in place, as if frozen in time at this moment.

While Shi Feiyang was displaying his prowess, his newlywed wife Lin Wanqing led the brothers of the Xiongying Society's Liaodong Yingzui Rock branch, and like a well-trained iron army, they rushed towards the Xuanwu Hall's headquarters - Liaodong Guifeng Mountain.

Guifeng Mountain is famous for its precipitous terrain and towering peaks, which resemble a sharp sword piercing the sky. The steep mountain walls and jagged rocks cast eerie shadows under the sunlight, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the entire mountain.

It was midsummer and the heat at the foot of the mountain was unbearable, the temperature was like a steamer, and it was unbearable.

However, when you step into the depths of Guifeng Mountain, you can feel a cool breeze blowing towards you, as if you are in a natural summer resort.

The climate here is pleasant, and the cool breeze makes people feel relaxed and happy, forgetting the heat and noise of the outside world.

However, in this shady forest, there seems to be some disturbing atmosphere hidden, which makes people feel chilling.

The trees are lush and their branches and leaves are intertwined, forming a natural barrier that blocks the sky and makes the light in the mountains dim, as if it is dusk and the sun is about to set.

In this quiet forest, you can occasionally hear the calls of unknown birds, which echo in the silent valley.

These sounds echoed in the empty valley, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere and making people feel a little bit scared.

The newly promoted beautiful young woman Lin Wanqing took the lead, leading her brothers and sisters, and bravely came to the magnificent gate of the Xuanwu Hall headquarters.

Her figure was light, like a green lotus blooming in the wind, or like a black lightning across the night sky. She rushed into the territory of Xuanwu Hall in an instant with lightning speed, as if to sweep away all obstacles that blocked her way forward.

She unsheathed her longsword, a flash of cold light, the renowned "Eternal Life Sword Technique." With a twirl of her body, the longsword traced a graceful arc through the air, creating a series of sword blossoms, a move from the "Eternal Life Sword Technique" called "Flourishing Flowers."

This sword move is sharp, like countless flowers blooming at the same time, but it also contains murderous intent. Each sword flower contains deadly power.

Upon seeing this, Feng Yuanyang, Feng Yuanji and Feng Yuanli, the deputy hall masters of Xuanwu Hall, immediately brandished their weapons and rushed forward to fight.

Feng Yuanyang gripped a broad sword, its blade gleaming with a cold light. With a roar, he swung the sword, unleashing a "mountain-splitting and rock-splitting" move, slashing straight at Lin Wanqing. The wind from the sword whistled, seemingly splitting the air in two.

The blow was so powerful and destructive that it seemed as if it could even split rocks.

Lin Wanqing's brow furrowed, her gaze sharp as lightning. She lightly tapped the ground with her toes, her body gliding like willow catkins, easily dodging the swift attack. Her movements were graceful and swift, and her dance to dodge the enemy's attacks showcased her superb martial arts skills.

At the same time, she swung the long sword in her hand, using the "gentle breeze" in the "Eternal Sword Technique". The sword's moves were light and mysterious, and the blade was like a breeze, silently cutting towards Feng Yuanyang's wrist.

This sword technique is like a gentle breeze, seemingly gentle but actually contains murderous intent.

Feng Yuanji gripped a pair of meteor hammers tightly, the iron chains colliding with each other, making a crisp "ding-dong" sound. His movements were full of power, and every swing was accompanied by the sound of the iron chains clashing, like a drum on the battlefield, inspiring himself and intimidating the enemy.

He swung his meteor hammers, performing the "Meteor Chasing the Moon" move. Like two shooting stars, they slammed down towards Lin Wanqing with a whistling sound. This move was so powerful, the meteor hammers drew dazzling streaks in the air, as if there were real shooting stars streaking across the sky.
