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

Chapter 28 28. Waiting for the Rabbit 3
At this moment, the confrontation between the two sides suddenly stopped.

Suddenly, a light breeze blew by, and the leaves made a slight rustling sound, as if suggesting that something unusual was about to happen.

Wu Chi, Bazatai, Shi Feiyang, Liu Guihua and others immediately became extremely alert.

They turned slowly, their eyes as sharp as lightning, carefully observing every corner and every tiny movement around them.

In this tense atmosphere, an old man in a green robe slowly walked out from the depths of the woods.

Although his steps seemed a little unsteady, his eyes were extremely sharp.

The old man walked under the tree and patted the monkey on the head, and the monkey obediently handed him the moon wheel.

The old man took the moon wheel and examined it carefully. Then he looked up at Bazatai and the others, smiled slightly, and said in a calm tone, "Everyone, this moon wheel is a toy of my monkey. I accidentally lost it. Thank you for your help in finding it."

When Bazatai heard this, he was immediately furious.

The moon disc clearly belonged to the warriors under his command, but now it has become a toy for the old man's monkey.

Isn't this a subtle criticism that Bazatai and his gang are like monkeys?

So Bazatai angrily swung his knife and slashed at the old man.

The old man dodged Bazatai's attack with ease, and with a cold smile on his face, he said, "Young man, don't act too impulsively, otherwise, you will suffer a great loss."

Although his voice was gentle, it contained a strong warning.

Bazatai's eyes were wide open with flames of anger flashing in them. He retorted without showing any weakness: "You old immortal, stop playing tricks here. Humph! I must take back this moon wheel!" After saying that, Bazatai brandished the sharp blade in his hand, and the blade light was like lightning and pointed directly at the old man's vital point.

The old man was agile and moved left and right with great speed.

Bazatai's attacks repeatedly missed, and after several rounds, he couldn't even touch the corner of the old man's clothes.

Bazatai was furious and his face turned gloomy. He had never encountered such a cunning opponent.

However, each of his attacks was easily neutralized by the opponent, as if his swordsmanship seemed childish and ridiculous in front of the old man.

He roared and attacked the old man again.

However, this time Bazatai no longer attacked blindly, but began to observe the old man's movements carefully, trying to find his opponent's weaknesses.

However, the old man seemed to have understood his intentions, and each of his movements was just right, avoiding Bazatai's attacks while constantly consuming Bazatai's physical strength.

After more than thirty moves, Bazatai gradually felt exhausted and his breathing became rapid.

Each of his attacks seemed like a fight with the air, and the old man seemed to be teasing him, easily avoiding his blade.

Bazatai's inner rage grew more intense, but he had to admit that the old man was far more powerful than him.

At this moment, the old man suddenly stopped moving and seemed to have lost his agility.

Seeing this, Bazatai was overjoyed, thinking he had found a turning point, and immediately swung his sword with unstoppable force.

However, just as the knife was about to touch the old man's body, the old man shook his body again, cleverly avoiding the attack, and quickly slapped Bazatai in the face with his backhand.

"Bang! Ouch!" Bazatai screamed, his body spinning around, his left cheek red and swollen, tears welling in his eyes, and he stood there in a daze.

The old man turned to the monkey and said, "Little monkey, let's go." Upon hearing this, the monkey immediately jumped up excitedly. It pulled at the corner of the old man's clothes and skipped forward.

Shi Feiyang cleverly expressed his gratitude to the old man and said, "Senior, I am very grateful for your help. I hope you will give me guidance in the future." His words revealed deep gratitude and his eyes also showed respect for the elder.

When the old man heard this, he gave Shi Feiyang a gentle smile, which was full of kindness and tolerance.

Afterwards, he slowly left with the monkey, his figure gradually disappearing among the dense forest, as if he had become one with nature.

When Wu Chi saw this, he took immediate action, quickly pulling Bazatai and leading the remaining bandits to flee the scene in a hurry.

They walked hurriedly, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing them, and they dared not stop for a moment.

Liu Guihua pondered for a moment, then slowly said to Shi Feiyang, "The old man may appear ordinary, but his demeanor reveals an extraordinary bearing. His gaze, in particular, seems to be able to see through people's hearts, and it makes people unconsciously feel awe."

There was respect in her tone, as if she were recounting a mysterious legend.

Shi Feiyang nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, I have felt it as well. The old man may seem ordinary, but he faintly exudes a subtle spiritual power fluctuation that is clearly extraordinary."

The depths of the woods still maintained their original tranquility, as if the incident just now was just an illusion.

However, they all knew in their hearts that this encounter was no accident.

The appearance of the mysterious elder foreshadows that an unprecedented storm is about to hit this snowy area.

Liu Guihua said softly to Shi Feiyang: "Brother Feiyang, let's go home!"

She gently took Shi Feiyang's hand and walked towards Snow Eagle Castle together.

Her voice was full of tenderness and determination. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would stay by his side and face it together.

When they arrived at the gate of Snow Eagle Castle, Iron Palm Wu Zhong and Double-Edged Blade Xiao Lingling were already sweating profusely and were extremely nervous.

Seeing Shi Feiyang and Liu Guihua returning hand in hand, they immediately closed the heavy iron door nervously.

Liu Dayou brought a bowl of hot tea to Shi Feiyang and asked nervously, "Brother, it seems that Snow Eagle Castle has invited many high-level warriors to besiege us. Should we evacuate this place immediately?"

Shi Feiyang took a sip of tea, shook his head firmly, and said, "No retreat! I, Shi, swear to fight the evil forces of Snow Eagle Fort to the end. Alright, everyone, take turns to be on guard. I'm going to shower and change clothes."

His voice was firm and powerful, showing everyone his determination and that he would not give up easily.

However, Master Yuanchi said to Shi Feiyang, "My dear disciple, I have already taught you all the secrets and formulas of various magical skills. I have no more worries. But I am lazy by nature, and my life is limited. Traveling the world is my greatest joy. Farewell."

After saying this, he tiptoed away, floating through the window. His figure disappeared like a wisp of smoke amidst the dancing snowflakes.

Everyone rushed to the window, but Master Yuanchi was no longer there.

They looked at each other, their hearts filled with reluctance and loss.

The departure of his mentor made Shi Feiyang feel lost. He turned and went to the kitchen to boil water for a bath.

Seeing this, Liu Guihua also hurried to the kitchen and said to Shi Feiyang, "Brother Feiyang, you don't seem to have any clean clothes. Would you like to change into the black clothes of those gangsters?"

Shi Feiyang nodded with a smile that was filled with a hint of helplessness. Liu Guihua then went to find clothes for Shi Feiyang.
