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

Page 288

"what!!!"

A scream rang out from the spot where the crossbow bolts had been fired earlier.

Jiang Ning cleaved a member of the Sun Moon Cult in two with a single sword strike.

Without waiting for anyone else to react, Jiang Ning immediately began the massacre.

puff!

Jiang Ning flicked his sword, unleashing a crescent-shaped sword aura that sliced ​​several cult members in half at the waist.

In just a few breaths, Jiang Ning killed more than a dozen people, all of whom were the cult members who had shot arrows at Yue Buqun earlier.

After killing these dozen or so people, Jiang Ning turned his gaze to the man who had waved and shot the arrow earlier.

This person was dressed in fine robes, clearly indicating that he held a high position within the Sun Moon Sect.

Jiang Ning charged straight at them.

When the man saw Jiang Ning charging towards him, he was terrified and turned to run away. However, Jiang Ning quickly caught up and grabbed him.

A strong gust of wind came from behind. The man had only run two steps before Jiang Ning caught up with him. Sensing the killing intent behind him, it was too late to escape. The man had no choice but to turn around and raise his hand to defend himself.

puff!

A severed arm flew off, accompanied by a scream.

Jiang Ning severed the man's arm with a single sword stroke, then grabbed his head and twisted it. With a snap, the body was separated from its head.

Jiang Ning grabbed his head and quickly retreated. In a few leaps, before the Sun Moon Cult could react, he had already broken away from their camp and arrived in the center of the arena.

At this moment, most of the Sun Moon Sect members had not yet reacted, and by the time they did, Jiang Ning had already gone far away.

Jiang Ning held his head in one hand, his gaze fixed on the Sun Moon Sect not far away.

Boom!

Jiang Ning released his grip, and the head fell to the ground with a thud. Before it could roll to the side, Jiang Ning stomped on it.

puff!

His head was crushed, and blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.

Jiang Ning stared coldly at the Sun Moon Sect.

His robes were now stained with blood, and beneath his feet lay shattered heads and splattered brain matter.

The Sun Moon Cult members opposite him glared at him angrily.

Fang Zhengchongxu was speechless at the sight, unable to distinguish which side was the demonic path.

Chapter 384: Killing Intent

Ren Yingying was both shocked and furious upon seeing this.

The other side is now telling them that if they dare to interfere with the battle again, those who just died will suffer the same fate.

Jiang Ning stormed into their camp in broad daylight, slaughtered everyone, and then left. Now he's provoking them like this, which has enraged many members of the Sun Moon Cult.

"Young Master Jiang is very bloodthirsty."

Chongxu couldn't help but say.

Killing someone is one thing, but using such a violent method is quite another. Jiang Ning's bloodthirstiness and temperament are somewhat frightening to him.

Fang Zheng frowned and remained silent.

"kill him!"

Some members of the Sun Moon Cult shouted loudly, and the rest of the followers, incited by the chant, were already eager to act.

Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!

Several sects from Mount Hua, Mount Tai, Mount Heng, Mount Emei, and Mount Hengshan drew their swords and faced each other, creating a tense atmosphere.

"As expected of the Demonic Sect, they resort to underhanded tactics when they can't win a fight. Now they're angry and want to fight, is that it? Then come on, are you afraid of us?"

A disciple of Mount Hua shouted angrily.

A war between the two sides is about to break out.

"stop!"

Ren Yingying spoke up, stopping the actions of the Sun Moon Sect members.

She held great authority, and her words immediately calmed down the restless members of the Sun Moon Sect, though they still looked at the Huashan faction with anger.

Bang!Bang!

The sounds of Ren Woxing and Yue Buqun fighting continued unabated, drawing everyone's attention.

Previously, Yue Buqun had been pressing Ren Woxing relentlessly, giving him no chance to catch his breath. However, what had just happened gave Ren Woxing a brief respite. After taking a deep breath, he rallied his spirits and continued fighting Yue Buqun. At this point, their battle had reached a fever pitch.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The two men's internal energy exploded around them continuously, creating a very intense atmosphere.

Ren Woxing's attacks, whether punches or claws, were unpredictable, and Yue Buqun's Huashan swordsmanship was equally exquisite.

boom!

Ren Woxing's palm strike missed its mark, but the resulting burst of internal force created a crater in the ground where Yue Buqun had just stood.

Just as Ren Woxing was about to continue his attack, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his chest.

not good!

Ren Woxing remained expressionless, but was inwardly terrified.

His internal energy was depleted, and the side effects of the Star Absorbing Technique began to backfire.

The chest pain intensified, and I even felt dizzy.

Ren Woxing's expression remained unchanged, and his movements did not falter in the slightest, but he was actually already considering his escape route.

Ren Woxing looked at Yue Buqun, whose expression was calm and serene, as if he were an immortal.

boom!

Ren Woxing threw another punch.

While Ren Woxing was still catching his breath, Yue Buqun relentlessly pursued him. However, after the earlier incident distracted him, Ren Woxing recovered, and Yue Buqun regained his composure. As expected, Yue Buqun did not directly confront Ren Woxing's attacks but chose to dodge.

However, Ren Woxing did not choose to pursue. Instead, he shouted loudly and retreated from the battlefield, returning to the camp of the Sun Moon Sect.

"father!"

"Master, are you alright?"

Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian immediately surrounded them.

Ren Woxing's face was tense, his hands behind his back. Hearing his daughter and subordinates' greetings, Ren Woxing slowly shook his head and remained silent.

At this moment, he was doing his best to suppress the side effects of the Star Absorbing Technique within his body.

Zheng!

Seeing that Ren Woxing had retreated and stopped fighting, Yue Buqun also sheathed his sword and retreated back to the Huashan Sect.

"Master."

"father."

A group of Huashan disciples and Yue Lingshan also gathered around.

"Sect Leader Yue."

Abbess Dingxian, Taoist Tianmen, and others also came over to inquire about Yue Buqun's condition.

Yue Buqun looked at Master Dingxian and the others, and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you all for your concern, I am fine."

At this moment, apart from his slightly disheveled hair, Yue Buqun's breathing was very steady, showing no signs of having just experienced a major battle.

After saying a few words, Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning and nodded to him.

it is more than words.

Jiang Ning also came back.

Yue Buqun looked at Ren Woxing in the distance and was about to speak when Ning Zhongze pointed her sword at Ren Woxing.

"Hey Ren, you launched a sneak attack earlier, and now you're backing out halfway through? Are you admitting defeat?"

Ren Woxing was still suppressing the side effects of the Star Absorbing Technique. After hearing Ning Zhongze's words, his expression turned ugly, and he remained silent.

"Amitabha."

At this point, Fang Zheng stepped forward to smooth things over.

"In this battle, Sect Leader Yue and Sect Leader Ren have been locked in a fierce struggle for a long time without a clear victor. In my humble opinion, how about a draw?"

"How can this be considered a draw?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng immediately spoke up, contradicting Qingzhu Shitai, who stood on the side of the Huashan Sect.

"Sect Leader Yue had already gained the upper hand during the duel. If it weren't for the Demonic Sect's sneak attack, he could have defeated Ren Woxing in no time. Everyone saw what happened just now clearly. How can this be considered a draw?"

The martial arts practitioners watching the battle couldn't help but nod, wanting to echo Master Qingzhu's words, but the pressure from the Sun and Moon Sect was too great for them to dare to speak.

What does "sneak attack" mean?

Someone from the Sun Moon Sect spoke up.

"We accidentally shot it out, but you killed our people instead. Besides, Yue Buqun hasn't defeated the leader in all this time. It's because the leader doesn't want to fight anymore. How can you call that a loss?"

Hearing these almost shameless words, many members of the righteous faction were furious and immediately began arguing with the other party.

Upon seeing this, Fang Zheng frowned and remained silent.

A draw would be best given the current situation. If they insist on arguing and provoke Ren Woxing into going back on his word, a bloodbath will ensue on Mount Song, and Shaolin will definitely not be able to extricate themselves. This is not what Fang Zheng wants to see.

"Alright, shut up, all of you!"

Ren Woxing finally spoke, raising his hand to stop his subordinates from speaking.

Ren Woxing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed down. He finally had time to speak.

"My old injury flared up during my match with Sect Leader Yue, which is why we ended the match early. Although we didn't decide who was the winner, my men just now took it upon themselves to interfere, so I consider this a loss."

Ren Woxing said in a deep voice.

Just now, when he was fighting with Yue Buqun, he caused a backlash to occur to himself. Although he did not lose in the end, he was indeed the one who couldn't take it anymore. If he had to force a draw to save face, Ren Woxing couldn't afford to lose face, so he simply admitted defeat.

However, in his heart he did not think he had really lost. The main reason for this defeat was that he had no chance to use his Star Absorbing Technique from beginning to end. Otherwise, Yue Buqun would definitely not have been his match.

Upon hearing Ren Woxing admit defeat, the leaders of the major sects on the righteous side, represented by Fang Zheng Chongxu, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I keep my word, so let's drop this matter today."

Ren Woxing glanced at Yue Buqun, then at Jiang Ning.

Although he had temporarily suppressed the foreign true energy within his body, Ren Woxing still needed to go back to adjust his body and did not intend to stay any longer, so he was about to leave immediately.

However, before leaving, Ren Woxing glanced at Yue Buqun.

"Sect Leader Yue's martial arts are indeed superb. I didn't expect that among the Five Mountains Sword Sect, besides the one surnamed Zuo, there would be such a master as you. Your disciple's martial arts are also quite good."

"The Huashan Sect is indeed profound, worthy of being the former leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. If the Huashan Sect had not declined, the current Five Mountains Sword Sect would probably not have the position of leader of the alliance."

As a long-time rival, Ren Woxing would seize any opportunity to put down Zuo Lengchan.

Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly and remained silent.

Yue Buqun remained expressionless and did not respond to Ren Woxing.

Ren Woxing glanced at Yue Buqun, then at Fang Zheng, as if deep in thought.

After a while.

Ren Woxing laughed.

"It's just a pity that if it weren't for Yue and Cai's efforts in the sword qi competition of the Huashan Sect back then..."
