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

Chapter 169: 169. Wisdom, Courage and Courage: Bai Zhi Steals the Picture and Presents it to Her Lover
The cold wind was like a sharp blade, whistling and sweeping over. The biting cold made every breath feel like swallowing ice, and the chill of the air penetrated the lungs.

The biting north wind raged with overwhelming force, cutting through everyone's skin like a knife, making people tremble all over, and even their blood seemed to solidify in this extreme cold.

The temperature around him continued to drop as if he had fallen into an endless ice cellar, and the world was shrouded in a cold and dead silence.

The snow is white, and goose-feather-like snowflakes are flying all over the sky, just like countless white feathers dancing lightly in the air, and then slowly falling, covering the earth layer by layer.

Houses, trees and roads are all covered with a pure and thick white coat.

The world seems to have been meticulously carved by the magical painter of nature, and purified into a flawless, silver-clad dream world. It is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated, but there is a hint of chill in this extreme beauty.

Seeing the situation was turning against her, Shi Ying's eyes flashed with determination. She suddenly moved, like a dark ghost, and instantly fled deep into the woods. Her movements were strange and agile, with astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the boundless snowfield, blending into the white world.

Shi Feiyang's eyes were as sharp as torches as he stared at the direction where Shi Ying disappeared, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness.

He knew very well that if he allowed an evil person like Shi Ying to escape, it would bring endless hidden dangers to the world of martial arts in the future.

Therefore, he did not hesitate and spread his body, like a black phantom, chasing Shi Ying in the direction of her escape.

On this vast snowy plain covered with heavy snow, two characters, one in front and one behind, started a thrilling chase.

It was snowing heavily, and snowflakes were dancing wildly in the air, like the smoke of a battlefield, adding a bit of solemnity to the silent snowfield and making the entire forest look even more thrilling.

In this swirling snow, Shi Ying's whereabouts were like a phantom, appearing and disappearing, making it difficult to follow. Her figure left a trail of blurry footprints on the snow, seemingly challenging the limits of the pursuer.

Deep within the Red Water Poison Miasma Forest, a crisis suddenly loomed, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Suddenly, several vice-chairmen and elders of the Heavenly Demon Cult appeared like ghosts, swiftly and silently surrounding Shi Feiyang in a tight circle.

Among this group of people, the leader is "Poison Shadow Old Man" Mo Li, who is a master of the "Ten Thousand Poison Sect".

He was dressed in a black robe, with a gloomy expression. His face was covered with strange lines that looked like the scales of a poisonous snake, making people shudder.

His eyes revealed a hint of cunning and viciousness, as if he could see into people's hearts, making people feel an invisible pressure. His gaze was like a sharp sword, seemingly able to penetrate all disguises and strike directly into people's hearts.

He quickly formed seals with his hands in front of his chest, muttering something as he cast the "Ten Thousand Poisons Bone-Eroding Curse." As his incantation rang out, the surrounding air instantly became turbid, and countless tiny poisonous mists surged from his palms, like a swarm of invisible poisonous bees, swooping towards Shi Feiyang.

These poisonous mists intertwined in the air to form hideous faces, which seemed to be telling how toxic they were, which was creepy.

These poisonous mists intertwined in the air to form hideous faces, silently declaring the severity of their toxicity and making people feel an indescribable fear.

They circled in the air, as if looking for prey, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

"Blood Shadow Demon" Yin Hong, this mysterious woman who once served as a protector in the "Blood Sea Sect", always wears blood-red clothes, as if dyed with blood, and her long hair dances like a snake, as if telling her unknown past.

She cried out, and a blood-red whip suddenly appeared in her hand. Under her control, it shone with an eerie light. This light was as bright and dazzling as blood, and seemed to contain endless murderous intent. People dared not look directly at it, as if they were not careful, they would be swallowed by it.

She flicked her wrist lightly, and the whip swung towards Shi Feiyang as nimbly as a spirit snake. The move was extremely brutal. It was the extremely exquisite "Blood Shadow Entanglement" move in the "Blood Sea Magic Whip Technique". The power of this move was enough to scare any opponent.

The whip shadows drew blood-red arcs in the air, as if they could tear apart anything that stood in their way, making people feel an invisible sense of oppression, and even the air was cut by the blood-red whip shadows.

"Yinfeng Elder" Song Yuan, a master from "Yinfeng Valley", is thin and erratic like a gust of wind, making him difficult to grasp.

He blew out a stream of black air from his mouth, performing the "Soul-Eroding Wind Technique". This black air carried a biting chill, and wherever it passed, trees withered instantly, and the ground was corroded with black marks, as if it were the mark of hell, corroding towards Shi Feiyang's soul, making people feel a fear from the abyss.

In the face of enemies coming from all directions, Shi Feiyang appeared extremely calm, as everything was within his expectations.

His eyes revealed a calm confidence, he had already seen through the outcome of this fierce battle.

He snorted contemptuously, then mobilized the deep internal energy within him and unleashed the eighth level of Mingyu Gong—"Supreme Forgetfulness." Unleashing this level isolated him from the world, allowing him to reach a transcendent state.

At that moment, an unprecedented chill erupted from his body, and the surrounding air quickly solidified under the impact, turning into frost. Snowflakes solidified in the air and then slowly drifted down, creating an otherworldly atmosphere, as if he was no longer a mortal, but a god who controlled ice and snow.

Shi Feiyang's eyes grew cold and resolute, unaffected by the world's chaos. He harnessed this extreme cold energy to precisely target the acupuncture points of several deputy leaders and elders. Every movement revealed his profound internal strength and mastery of martial arts.

I saw streams of cold air shooting out like sharp arrows. The deputy leaders and elders felt the approach of the cold air and were terrified. They quickly dodged to the side, trying to avoid this sudden attack.

However, a few cold air still penetrated their defense, leaving obvious traces of frost, proving that Shi Feiyang's attack was so swift and unpredictable.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Feiyang unleashed his ultimate move, the "Seven Steps of the Dragon," from the Divine Dragon Claw. As he took his first step, a thick layer of frost immediately formed on the ground, chilling the air so much that even the earth trembled, succumbing to his power.

In his second move, Shi Feiyang's figure flashed like a meteor, rushing towards the "Poison Shadow Old Man" Mo Li. His palm shone with golden light, like an extremely sharp claw, pointing directly at Mo Li's chest, showing his determination to kill with one strike.

Facing Shi Feiyang's attack, Mo Li did not dare to be negligent and quickly used the "Ten Thousand Poisons Shield". A layer of green poisonous mist quickly condensed in front of him, forming a seemingly indestructible barrier, trying to withstand Shi Feiyang's fatal blow.

Shi Feiyang's five steel fingers grabbed the poisonous fog, making a "sizzling" sound. The poisonous fog was torn apart instantly by this grab, showing the depth of Shi Feiyang's internal strength and the power of the Divine Dragon Claw. Even the poisonous fog could not stop his attack.

In the third step, Shi Feiyang turned around quickly and performed a powerful move called "Dragon's Tail". His legs were like hard iron rods, sweeping towards the "Blood Shadow Demon" Yin Hong with a sound of breaking through the air, trying to clear away all obstacles.

Faced with Shi Feiyang's fierce attack, Yin Hong did not retreat. She waved the blood-red whip in her hand, trying to resist Shi Feiyang's attack, but her efforts seemed in vain.

However, Shi Feiyang's strength was too strong. The moment the whip touched Shi Feiyang's legs, it bounced high. A trace of fear appeared on Yin Hong's face. She realized that she was facing an unprecedented strong enemy.

Then, in the fourth stage of the duel, Shi Feiyang soared into the air, like Erlang Shen descending from the heavens, unleashing a move called "Dragon Leaping the Nine Heavens." His body traced a graceful arc through the air, like a soaring dragon, as he pounced upon "Elder Yinfeng" Song Yuan. This move not only showcased Shi Feiyang's exceptional Qinggong skills, but also his profound internal strength and precise control of the rhythm of his movements.

Facing Shi Feiyang's fierce attack, Song Yuan dared not neglect it. He quickly blew out a black airflow, trying to block Shi Feiyang's advance, but his efforts seemed unable to change the situation. This black airflow was one of Song Yuan's famous skills, called "Netherworld Cold Wind". It was not only freezing cold, but also contained a strong corrosive property. However, in front of Shi Feiyang, it seemed so powerless.

However, Shi Feiyang's cold energy was too overbearing. The moment the black airflow touched Shi Feiyang, it was frozen into ice. A trace of panic flashed across Song Yuan's face. He began to realize that he might not be able to withstand Shi Feiyang's attack. Shi Feiyang's cold energy seemed to be able to freeze everything, including Song Yuan's confidence and fighting spirit.

In the fifth step, after Shi Feiyang landed, he performed the move "Dragon Coiling and Tiger Crouching". A powerful aura immediately formed around his body, shaking the surrounding ice and snow into pieces. This move not only demonstrated Shi Feiyang's domineering power, but also demonstrated his ability to control his surroundings.

Then, he attacked the "Poison Shadow Old Man" Mo Li again. This time, he used the "Dragon Claw Splitting the Sky" move. His palm was like a sharp blade, directly tearing Mo Li's body apart.

The power of this move was so great that Mo Li didn't even have time to react before he was torn into pieces by Shi Feiyang's dragon claws.

Mo Li let out a scream and fell to the ground, dead, his body shattered into countless pieces.

Shi Ying saw this and ran away sadly. She knew that if she didn't run away, she might be the next to fall.

In the seventh step, Shi Feiyang's eyes were as fast as lightning as he looked at the "Blood Shadow Demon" Yin Hong and the "Yin Feng Elder" Song Yuan.

He shouted loudly and unleashed the ultimate move of the Divine Dragon Claw, "Dragon Roars in the Nine Heavens".

This move is Shi Feiyang's ultimate skill in the Divine Dragon Claw. It is extremely powerful and loud, as if there is really a dragon's roar resounding through the sky, making everyone present feel a pressure from ancient times.

His ten fingers were like a huge golden dragon phantom. The golden dragon roared and pounced towards Yin Hong and Song Yuan with endless power.

Faced with this fatal blow, Yin Hong and Song Yuan wanted to escape, but it was too late.

The golden dragon swallowed them in an instant. The two men let out miserable screams and disappeared in the golden dragon's light.

Under Shi Feiyang's extremely powerful attack, the bodies of Yin Hong and Song Yuan instantly shattered into countless tiny pieces, like withered petals, fluttering and blending into the snow, as if they had never existed in this world.

Shi Feiyang's gaze was as cold as a frozen lake as he carefully searched the snow-covered area for any trace of Shi Ying, leaving no corner or snowdrift where she might be hiding.

However, Shi Ying disappeared silently in this white world like a wisp of smoke, leaving no trace.

Shi Feiyang thought to himself that she must have taken advantage of the complex terrain and chaotic situation to escape cleverly.

Despite this, he was not anxious, believing deep down that, given the deep hatred between them, they would meet again sooner or later. When that happened, he vowed to kill this evil woman to eliminate any future troubles and ensure that there would be no more threats.

At this moment, Shi Feiyang's heart was filled with worry about Bai Zhi's safety. His mind was completely occupied by her safety, and he really had no intention of tracking Shi Ying's whereabouts.

So he turned around and took firm steps towards Feihu Pass.

Shi Feiyang returned from the Chishui Poisonous Forest, and the news spread throughout Feihu Pass like a gust of wind.

When the soldiers heard the news, they cheered with joy. The cheers were deafening, breaking through the clouds and reaching the sky.

They stood on the city wall, waving their weapons, their faces filled with the joy of victory.

In their hearts, Shi Feiyang is an invincible hero, their backbone, and their faith.

When Qi Meizhen heard that Shi Feiyang had returned, her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, suddenly felt relieved.

Tears of excitement flashed in her eyes as she hurried towards Shi Feiyang, each step filled with urgency and anticipation.

When she saw the familiar figure of Shi Feiyang, she could no longer hold back her tears and they burst out.

She threw herself into Shi Feiyang's arms regardless of everything and hugged him tightly, fearing that if she let go, Shi Feiyang would disappear like a phantom.

She choked up and said, "My husband, you are finally back. I worry about you every day, afraid that you will encounter danger outside and be hurt."

Shi Feiyang's fingers gently shuttled through Qi Meizhen's hair.

His voice was full of tenderness and comfort: "Look, I'm back safe and sound, don't worry."

Although Michelle Yim's embrace was so warm, Shi Feiyang could not get rid of the lingering worry in his heart.

His brave generals - "Iron Palm" Wu Zhong, "Plum Blossom Dart" Shan Zhi, "Archer" Miao Menlong, "Water Dragon" Jin Liufu, "Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen, and "Iron Flute Scholar" Xiang Kun - went out to look for Bai Zhi, but have not returned yet, and there is no news about her.

Shi Feiyang was well aware of the danger Bai Zhi faced when she was alone outside, and the worry in his heart surged like a tide, never subsiding for a moment.

Deep in the dense forest of Hailongdun, Baizhi is carefully carrying out a crucial mission - stealing the defense map.

Bai Zhi relies on her wit and courage to cleverly avoid numerous checkpoints and patrolling rebel soldiers, and finally finds Hu Ya, a senior rebel general. The young Hu Ya has a crush on Bai Zhi and unreservedly shows her the Hailongdun defense map he is in charge of.

While Baizhi carefully examined the defense map, she cleverly invited Huya to have a few drinks together to keep out the cold weather.

However, Baizhi had already put drugs in the wine, and Huya fell asleep after drinking a few sips.

Baizhi took the opportunity to quickly escape from the scene with the Hailongdun defense map.

However, she did not realize that a pair of evil eyes had been staring at her in the dark. This person was the Japanese pirate envoy Fujiwara Sojiro, who was tall and slender, wearing a black ninja suit and a sharp Japanese sword at his waist.

Fujiwara no Sojiro's eyes were cold and sharp, like the twinkling cold stars in the night sky, revealing a chilling murderous aura that made people shudder.

The unique martial arts mastered by Fujiwara no Sojiro is the unique skill of the Japanese island "Iai Sword Drawing Technique - Oborozuki Ten Flashes". This sword technique is famous for its strangeness and great power. Almost no one in the Banshu area can resist it.

His sword-drawing speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch his movements. In the blink of an eye, he could easily take someone's life.

Fujiwara no Sojiro's appearance this time was actually the real manipulator behind Yang Yinglong's rebellion plot. His purpose was to cooperate with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Korean campaign, intending to break through the barrier of Liaodong through this campaign and then seize the vast land of the Central Plains.

Bai Zhi sensed the imminent danger and wanted to leave the place quickly, but it was too late. Fujiwara Sojiro suddenly appeared like a ghost, a cold smile on his face, and he slowly drew his Japanese sword.

Bai Zhi was shocked and immediately began to use her witchcraft to try to resist the impending attack.

She muttered something, and the air around her immediately became gloomy and terrifying. Some strange poisonous insects crawled out from the ground, and they pounced towards Fujiwara Sojiro like a group of ordered soldiers.

Yet, facing Baizhi's sorcery, Fujiwara no Sojiro appeared unfazed. He snorted coldly, then unleashed his unique skill, "Iai Sword Drawing Technique: Ten Flashes of the Moon." With a sudden movement, his Japanese sword was unsheathed, its gleam as dazzling as the moon across the night sky.

The extremely sharp blade energy easily killed the poisonous insect.

Then, the knife flashed like a meteor and slashed towards Bai Zhi.

Although Bai Zhi tried her best to dodge, she was unable to avoid it completely and was hit by the sharp sword energy. She was seriously injured and eventually fell to the ground.

At this critical moment, "Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen arrived at the scene in time. He had been tracking Bai Zhi's whereabouts, relying on his extraordinary light skill "Flying Catkins and Light Smoke" to move freely in the dense forest like a black lightning.

When he saw Bai Zhi injured, he suddenly became extremely anxious.

He quickly pulled out a silk net from his pocket and, without hesitation, threw it toward Fujiwara Sojiro. The net quickly unfolded in the air, like a giant white flower, completely enveloping Fujiwara Sojiro. Fujiwara Sojiro swung his Japanese sword, attempting to cut through the net, but the silk's toughness was beyond imagination, and despite his best efforts, he struggled to break free.

Xie Wen seized this opportunity and quickly unleashed his "Flying Catkins and Light Smoke" technique. His figure was as light as willow catkins drifting in the wind, and in a flash, he was beside Bai Zhi. He lifted Bai Zhi up and turned, sprinting towards Feihu Pass.

His figure flashed through the dense forest at an incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared from Fujiwara Sojiro's sight.

Fujiwara Sojiro looked at the direction where Xie Wen disappeared, with sparks of anger flashing in his eyes. He struggled hard and finally broke free from the restraints of the Tiancan silk net, but at this time Xie Wen had already gone away with Bai Zhi. He could only snort helplessly, and his figure gradually disappeared into the dense forest.

On a rough mountain road leading to Feihu Pass, a figure stumbled and walked slowly towards them. She was Bai Zhi.

Following the ancient rule that "men and women should not touch each other", Xie Wen was unable to carry Bai Zhi for a long time. So after flying for a while, he gently put Bai Zhi down and continued to escort her away from the scene.

At this time, Bai Zhi was seriously injured, her clothes were tattered, and blood was constantly oozing from her wounds, dyeing her clothes bright red. She left a string of shocking bloodstains on the white snow.

Despite this, her eyes revealed immense determination, and she held the Hailongdun defense map tightly in her hand.

That was all her hope and reliance.

After going through numerous hardships and dangers and going deep into the wolf's den alone, Bai Zhi, with her bravery and extraordinary wisdom, cleverly maneuvered among the heavy guards of Hailongdun and successfully stole the crucial defense map.

She knew the importance of this map to Shi Feiyang, the Xiongying Society, and even the entire war situation. So, even though she was seriously injured, she never gave up. She knew that this map was not just a map, but the key to victory or defeat in the war.

When she finally stepped into Feihu Pass and saw the familiar figure of Shi Feiyang, her tense nerves instantly relaxed.

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she used up her last bit of strength to walk towards Shi Feiyang.

She knew that as long as she handed the defense map to Shi Feiyang, all the suffering she had experienced would become meaningful.

The moment Shi Feiyang saw Bai Zhi, his heart suddenly started beating violently, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, causing him to feel a sharp pain.

His eyes were filled with shock and heartache. He rushed towards Bai Zhi without hesitation. No force could stop him.

Bai Zhi held the Hailongdun defense map tightly in her hand. She gently handed it to Shi Feiyang and said weakly, "Feiyang, I got it..."

However, before she could finish her words, she felt her body getting heavier and heavier, and finally she fell to the ground helplessly.

Shi Feiyang was extremely anxious when he saw this scene. He quickly threw the defense map aside.

The defense map drew a graceful arc in the air and slowly fell to the ground.

In Shi Feiyang's heart, Bai Zhi's safety is the most important thing, and everything else becomes insignificant.

He quickly stretched out his arms, caught Bai Zhi steadily, and called out in a trembling voice: "Bai Zhi, wake up, don't scare me!"

At this moment, "Iron Palm" Wu Zhong, "Archer" Miao Menlong, "Iron Flute Scholar" Xiang Kun, "Water Dragon" Jin Liufu and others happened to return.

When they learned that Bai Zhi was seriously injured but still successfully stole the Hailongdun defense map, their hearts were filled with complex emotions, including surprise, joy, excitement and sadness.

They all rushed to visit Baizhi, and everyone's face was filled with concern and worry.

Wu Zhong said with admiration, "Miss Baizhi, you are truly a heroine! You ventured alone into the depths of Hailongdun. Such courage puts us men to shame!"

Miao Menlong also nodded in praise: "Indeed, the dangers along the way must have been unimaginable, but Miss Baizhi relied on her own wisdom and strategy to not only escape unscathed, but also successfully obtain this defense map. It is truly admirable!"

Xiang Kun stroked his beard and said with emotion, "This kind of courage and wisdom is truly rare in the martial arts world. Miss Baizhi is willing to risk her life for our Xiongying Society and for the greater good. This spirit is truly admirable."

Jin Liufu shouted, "Miss Baizhi, you are the heroine of our Jianghu! If you need me, Jin Liufu, in the future, please let me know!"

Maggie Cheung stood quietly by the side, looking at Bai Zhi lying in Shi Feiyang's arms with complicated eyes.

In her heart, she once regarded Bai Zhi as her love rival. However, at this moment, witnessing the sacrifices and efforts Bai Zhi made for Shi Feiyang and all of them, she felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

Maggie Cheung bent down and picked up the scattered Hailongdun defense map. Then she slowly walked towards Baizhi and spoke softly, "Sister Baizhi, I admit that I was narrow-minded before. The courage you have shown and the deep affection you have for Shi Feiyang make me ashamed of myself. Please stay strong. We will all do our best to restore you to health."

After saying these words, she took out a magic pill treasured by the sect from her arms and handed it to Shi Feiyang carefully, her eyes full of sincerity and concern.

Shi Feiyang took the precious medicine handed to him by Qi Meizhen and others, tears of gratitude flashing in his eyes. He immediately began to treat Bai Zhi, hoping that she could be out of danger and recover her health as soon as possible.

In this cold winter season, the Leiyin Rice Terraces are like a sleeping giant beast. The cold breath it releases unscrupulously is like an invisible deterrent force, permeating this land.

The layers of terraced fields are now covered with white snow. They roll up and down, forming an endless white ocean.

The ocean is quiet and peaceful, but it also has a hint of chill that makes people shiver.

The cold wind whistled through the terraces, making a sharp and piercing whistling sound.

The sound was like the howling of ghosts and wolves, adding a sense of solemnity and murderousness to the world.

Dragon Ridge Thunder God Rock is the headquarters of the Demonic Cult.

It is hidden in these steep mountains, like a paradise, unknown to outsiders.

  Leigongyan is surrounded by rugged rocks, and the towering rocks are like ferocious guards.

They stand around, overlooking everything around them, guarding this mysterious land.

The rock surface was covered in frost, gleaming with a chilling light in the dim light. The Heavenly Demon Cult's guards, clad in black and armed with swords and spears, lined up neatly around the main altar, their weapons and weapons in full view, a solemn declaration to the world that this place was inviolable.

They have sharp eyes and watch every corner vigilantly, and no movement can escape their eyes.

Their eyes revealed determination and coldness, telling the world that they were ready to fight for the Demonic Cult at any time.

Shi Ying stepped into the main hall with a depressed look on her face. Her steps were heavy, and her usually agile figure now seemed a little stiff.

Her heart was filled with worry and anxiety, because she knew that what she was about to face might be the most difficult challenge in her life.

She walked through the long corridor, the torches on both sides swaying in the cold wind, illuminating her pale face.

Her heartbeat quickened and her breathing became rapid.

Finally, she arrived at the hall where her father, Shi Fengli, the leader of the Demonic Cult, was.

She took a deep breath, pushed open the heavy door, and stepped into the Soul Gathering Hall that would determine her fate.

Shi Fengli sat upright in the main seat in the hall. He was tall and strong, like a towering mountain.

A long scar on his face extended from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, making his already ferocious face even more hideous and terrifying.

This scar is a mark of his past years in the martial arts world, witnessing countless life-and-death battles with his enemies.

He was wearing a black robe embroidered with strange golden patterns, which sparkled mysteriously under the firelight.

These patterns seem to contain some kind of ancient magic, which reminds people of ancient legends and mysterious rituals.

His eyes were cold and sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Those eyes were like a deep lake, hiding countless secrets and wisdom, making people dare not look directly at them.

Shi Ying walked up to Shi Fengli, bowed slightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Father, I'm ashamed to face you after my daughter's failure in this operation. The attack on Shi Feiyang was unsuccessful, the poisoning at the banquet was discovered, and the ambush on him was a complete failure. These repeated failures have caused our sect to suffer heavy losses. I beg for your punishment."

As Shi Ying spoke, her eyes turned slightly red, and her pretty face was full of loss and self-blame.

Her tears were about to burst out, but she tried hard to hold them back.

Shi Fengli looked at his beloved daughter like this, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

He could feel the pain and struggle in his daughter's heart.

As a father, Shi Fengli hopes that his daughter can be strong, but he can't bear to see her so sad.

He slowly stood up, walked over to Shi Ying, patted her shoulder gently, and said in a low but gentle voice, "Ying'er, victory and defeat are common in the military, so don't blame yourself too much. I know you've tried your best. Shi Feiyang is indeed quite capable."

Shi Ying raised her head, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. She said, "Father, I have a plan. Since ancient times, soldiers have not been used in winter, and now General Yang's troops and the Ming army have stopped fighting. Why not have the chieftain's son, Liang Shouluo, lead his Thunder Blade Formation to attack Feihu Pass? It's snowing heavily now, and Shi Feiyang will certainly be caught off guard. Father, you can observe the battle secretly, and when the time is right, you can help. We will definitely be able to take Feihu Pass in one fell swoop."

Shi Fengli nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, and said, "Ying'er, this is a brilliant plan. Okay, let's do as you say. I want to see just how capable Shi Feiyang is."

It was snowing heavily, the weather was freezing cold, and the sky and the earth were sealed by a thick layer of ice and snow.

In the cold night, darkness covers the earth like a huge curtain.

Snowflakes are dancing in the air, as if they are the only life in the world, adding a touch of vitality to the quiet night.

They float down lightly, covering the mountains, rivers, and turning the sky and the earth into a fairy tale world clad in silver.

However, behind this beautiful scene lies endless coldness and loneliness.

Chieftain's son, Liang Shouluo, led a thousand-strong army, including several hundred Japanese pirates skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship, as they quietly advanced towards Feihu Pass through the icy snow. Their figures loomed in the snow like a group of ghosts.

Their footsteps were light and made almost no sound, blending in with the cold night.

In this snow-covered wilderness, they moved silently like ghosts, leaving behind only a series of shallow footprints that were soon covered by new snowflakes.

Liang Shouluo was wearing a thick black cloak, which was rustling in the cold wind.

He held a nine-ring Miao knife in his hand. The nine iron rings on the knife made crisp sounds in the silent night, playing the prelude to the sneak attack.

This knife is not only his weapon, but also his glory. Every swing of it represents his determination and courage.

The sword flashed in the moonlight, reflecting his resolute face, and also declaring to the world that no matter how difficult and bloody the battle was, he would move forward bravely and fearlessly.

The Japanese pirates were dressed in black ninja uniforms, with black scarves covering their faces, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

Using the pirates' ninjutsu, they silently scaled the walls of Feihu Pass. Their movements were swift and stealthy, like nocturnal cats, using the cover of darkness and snow to gradually approach their target.

Their eyes revealed determination and coldness, as if they had foreseen the coming victory.

On the city wall, a disciple of the Xiongying Society, clutching a spear and a staff, reclined before a fire, seemingly sound asleep. Seeing this, Liang Shouluo and the others were delighted, thinking they had an opportunity. They didn't realize this was all a carefully laid trap by the Xiongying Society, waiting for them to fall into it.

They quickly climbed up the city wall and slashed at the "sleeping" disciples of the Xiongying Society with their swords.

However, after hearing a few "crackling" sounds and wood chips flying everywhere, it turned out that these were all dummies.

These dummies were cleverly disguised as real people, and even in the light of the fire, it was difficult to tell the real from the fake.

Liang Shouluo and others realized that they had fallen into a trap, but it was too late. The counterattack of the Xiongying Society had already arrived like thunder.

Liang Shouluo was startled and thought to himself, "Oh no!" He realized that he might have fallen into some kind of carefully designed trap.

At this moment, Maggie Cheung led her troops and quickly surrounded them like a tide, forming a tight encirclement.

Maggie Cheung was wearing a red outfit, which was particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the white snow.

She held a long Miao knife in her hand, and the blade flashed coldly under the reflection of the snow, like a flash of lightning in winter.
