Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the forest, flying needles were as dense as rain as they almost instantly nailed against the tree trunks where the two of them were.
The spear in Pei Xiangjun’s hand was called ‘Overlord’. It ranked in the top three among the ten famous spears. It was two feet longer than Ye Jingtang’s Black Qilin Spear. It had been the divine weapon that the former Spear Chief had once used to pierce through the entire Jianghu.
But when she encountered such bastards who didn’t care about martial ethics, she couldn’t even show her head without a shield. She asked coldly, “How many arrows are left?”
“Four! There are still nine throwing knives and two nets.”
The sound of the bowstring being drawn suddenly stopped.
“Chase.” Pei Xiangjun let out a low roar. Her figure erupted like a cheetah as she dragged her spear and charged out from behind the tree trunk.
Luo Ning’s figure was like a ghost as she silently darted left and right through the forest. In an instant, she arrived near the two of them.
Second Wang didn’t dare to show his back while being chased. He could only hold his shield and retreat quickly.
Wang Chengjing had brought a quiver of specially-made arrows. The target had yet to come out, so he didn’t dare to shoot randomly. He only drew his bow back and forth and pointed in the direction of the two of them, forcing them to find places to hide.
Tread, tread, tread…
The footsteps in the forest were as dense as rain.
When Pei Xiangjun was 50 feet away, she no longer chose to hide, and her figure rushed to the empty area between two rows of poplar trees. She stepped forward with her right foot, and her eyes suddenly became bloodshot. Her cheeks under the scarf turned red, and blue veins bulged on her hands.
Boom!
A strong wind stirred the trees in the forest, blowing away the fallen leaves around Pei Xiangjun.
Pei Xiangjun stabbed her spear into the ground, causing countless pieces of gravel and soil to fly out. Then her figure broke through the night sky and followed behind the flying gravel to approach in the blink of an eye. She raised the nine-foot-long spear in her hand and thrust forward with both hands.
Swoosh!
The tip of the spear pierced through the air, emitting a shrill scream.
The speed of the spear was so fast that shock flashed in Luo Ning’s eyes. She recognized that this was the unique move of the Red God of Wealth, ‘Wind Pool Reverse Blood’. It had also been the capital of the Overlord Spear to become the former Spear Chief.
Another arrow shot out from Wang Chengjing’s hand. When he saw the terrifying power of the spear, his hair stood on end. He kicked the heavy shield from behind and pulled his younger brother, who still had his head buried behind the shield, away with all his might.
Clang!
The tip of the spear flashed and arrived. The strong wind stirred up the flying needles. The two-foot-long spearhead that was densely covered in battle scars directly pierced into the heavy shield specially prepared for the Black Qilin Spear.
Crack!
The one-inch-thick black iron shield erupted with lightning-like flames from the front and back. It was instantly pierced through, and the remaining force didn’t decrease as the spear pierced into the shoulder of Second Wang, who had just left the shield.
Amidst the explosion, the Wang brothers slid back almost instantly, leaving a five-foot-long groove in the ground.
The force of this blow was terrifying, but the Wang brothers were not ordinary people. The moment the momentum of the spearhead stopped, Second Wang ignored his pain and pushed forward, making it difficult for his opponent to pull out the spear.
Wang Chengjing swept out the 20-foot-long whip in his hand. But because the distance was around 20 feet, he could only lash out the whip and strike at Pei Xiangjun from above the shield.
Snap!
The snap of the whip sounded in the forest.
Luo Ning was following closely behind. Seeing this, she flew up and accurately blocked the powerful soft whip with the soft sword in her hand.
“Move!”
Seeing the shield pressing toward her, Pei Xiangjun let out a delicate cry and slid out her right foot. She exerted strength in her right hand to sweep away the shield.
But the moment the shield was knocked away, Second Wang sprinkled a handful of white powder forward.
Sha-
Pei Xiangjun was slightly frightened. The vixen had blocked the whip in the air and couldn’t exert strength to move away. If she retreated, the vixen would land between the two of them. In order to prevent the vixen from being hit, she abandoned her spear and jumped back without hesitation. At the same time, she grabbed Luo Ning’s legs.
Whoosh-
As the white powder scattered, the two of them retreated dozens of feet at the same time.
Seeing the ambushers retreat, Second Wang immediately raised his saber and prepared to run away. But Wang Chengjing’s ears twitched, and his expression changed slightly. “Shield up.”
At the same time, he drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and shot toward a distant treetop.
Swish!
Clatter!
Something crashed into the treetops diagonally above. The tops of several trees exploded, and broken branches flew everywhere, revealing a black shadow holding a spear.
Boom!
The black shadow fell from the sky and found hundreds of flying needles flying toward him. Halfway through, he kicked a tree trunk and moved horizontally in the air, weaving back and forth between the tree trunks like black lightning.
Tap, tap, tap!
From the sky, in the poplar forest under the moonlight, a row of treetops shook violently, as if a dragon python had fallen into them and was running wildly through the forest.
Wang Chengjing had shot out three arrows in an instant, but they failed to touch the corner of the black shadow’s clothes.
When Second Wang saw this scene, he quickly retreated. He placed his saber in his mouth, grabbed a cloth bag with his right hand, and threw it into the air.
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
White powder flew and instantly filled the forest.
When Ye Jingtang saw this, he immediately landed on the ground. Holding his spear with one hand, he took a step forward, stood firmly on the ground, and exerted his strength. “Die!”
With the roar, all the muscles in his body instantly tensed.
Swish!
The sharp sound of wind breaking resounded through the forest.
The Black Qilin Spear turned into a javelin and shot out from his hand. With a sharp whistle, it instantly tore through most of the white powder in front of him, forming a vortex-shaped hole.
Second Wang’s eyes were full of horror. He knew that the heavy shield couldn’t block it, but he still raised it fearlessly.
Boom!
The seven-foot-long spear pierced through the iron shield without any decrease in force. It penetrated through the burly Second Wang’s shoulder, slammed the shield into him, and stabbed into Wang Chengjing’s ribs.
Thump!
The terrifying force contained in the spear tip sent the two brothers flying through the forest.
Wang Chengjing had an iron plate and Wang Er as his meat shields, so he only suffered a superficial wound. The moment he fell to the ground, he pushed Second Wang away, pulling out the Black Qilin Spear from his body. Then he kicked the shield away and pulled the spear out of Second Wang’s shoulder.
“Ahhhh!”
A scream resounded in the night.
Wang Chengjing grabbed his brother with one hand, turned around, and ran away wildly.
Second Wang was being held above the ground while enduring the severe pain, but he didn’t forget to sprinkle white powder, making it difficult for the enemies to chase after them.
After Ye Jingtang threw his spear, he didn’t take the risk of rushing into the cloud of powder. He got the bird on standby high in the sky to chase after the two people escaping and then flew to the two women.
Upon closer inspection, he could see that Heroine Luo was unharmed. Her robe was stained with some white powder. Third Lady pulled down her face scarf, revealing her flushed face. She threw a few pills into her mouth and said angrily when she saw Ye Jingtang, “It’s snow moth scale. These two scoundrels really don’t care about martial ethics. Let’s hurry up and find a safe place to hide.”
Ye Jingtang noticed that Third Lady’s complexion wasn’t right. He whistled, and the horse galloped over from outside the Baoyuan School.
Ye Jingtang raised his hand, carried Third Lady horizontally, and then jumped onto the horse.
Luo Ning landed behind him and looked at the martial artists watching from behind the stone lions. “It’s snow moth scale. Whoever picks up the spears will be rewarded handsomely.”
“What?!
The few martial artists who had been called out paled when they heard this, but no one moved. They might be refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit.
One of the martial artists hesitated for a moment, and then he gritted his teeth and ran over. He rushed into the cloud of white powder, picked up the two famous spears from the ground, ran back, and threw them to the horse.
Pei Xiangjun took out a handful of banknotes from her pocket and threw them into the martial artist’s hand. She didn’t forget to warn, “Anyone who dares to rob him will be killed by the Red Flower Pavilion. Let’s go.”
“Go.”
The horse raised its legs and galloped toward the official road.
Stomp, stomp…
The inside of the Baoyuan School was brightly lit, and more than a hundred martial artists watched the fierce horse leave in silence.
It was not until the sound of horse hooves disappeared for a long time that there were whooshing sounds. Many martial artists fled in all directions.
There were various comments mixed in.
“Hero Ye’s martial arts skills are a bit too domineering…”
“Nonsense. He’s the young master of a wealthy force. Do you think he’s just a small fry in Jianghu? Sect Master Li was really stubborn. Cheng Shilu is already dead, but he still dared to set up an arena…”
“Sect Master Li wasn’t beaten to death. His reputation is well-deserved…”
“Giving so much money for picking up two spears, as expected of the Red
Flower Pavilion…”
“Idiot, this is the settlement fee. Let’s hurry up and have a good meal…”
“How could the future sect master of the Red Flower Pavilion harm innocent people and ruin his sect’s reputation… Hey, no, no.. Help me…”
