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

Page 45

Jiang Ning's face was cold, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

Tian Boguang reacted hastily, unable to exert any force in his hands, the shockwave from the single blade making his arm numb.

Upon seeing the newcomer launch a sneak attack without uttering a word, Tian Boguang was about to curse angrily, but after hearing Linghu Chong's shout, he glanced at Jiang Ning in surprise and said, "You're also from the Huashan Sect?"

Jiang Ning did not respond to him. During the exchange of blows, Jiang Ning raised his foot and kicked him directly in the groin.

Tian Boguang's eyelids twitched violently as he watched, and he immediately withdrew his strength while retreating backward.

Jiang Ning relentlessly pursued him, closing in and raising his sword to strike fiercely, each move aimed at killing him.

when!

when!

when!

Tian Boguang raised his sword to parry, but his arm grew increasingly numb. Seeing the ruthless attacks of his opponent, a fierce glint flashed in Tian Boguang's eyes. When Jiang Ning's next strike came, he stopped defending and used his superb agility to dodge the attack to the side. At the same time, he quickly moved closer to Jiang Ning's embrace, slashing horizontally with his single sword, aiming straight for Jiang Ning's face.

Jiang Ning remained expressionless, raising his left hand. He had grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground when he came over, and now it would come in handy.

Tian Boguang was too close to Jiang Ning at this moment. Caught off guard by Jiang Ning's sudden move, some dirt got into his eyes. Tian Boguang subconsciously closed his eyes, but his hands continued to move.

Jiang Ning leaned back, the single blade slashing across his cheek, while simultaneously kicking him.

Bang!

Tian Boguang was kicked in the chest and fell backward, crashing into a large tree.

"Hi~"

The burning pain in his chest made Tian Boguang hiss involuntarily, and the foreign object sensation in his eyes also made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

After rubbing his eyes hard a few times, the discomfort subsided somewhat. Tian Boguang opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Ning not far away, his expression a mixture of shock and anger.

"Not only did you injure people in secret, but you also used such despicable means. You are truly shameless and despicable. Are you still a disciple of the righteous path? Your character is far inferior to that of your senior brother Linghu Chong."

"Ah."

Jiang Ning gave a cold laugh.

"If you're not more shameless than demons and heretics like yourselves, how can you uphold the righteous path?"

"Junior brother, run! Don't worry about me!"

At this moment, Linghu Chong shouted nervously to Jiang Ning.

In his view, Jiang Ning had only recently entered the ranks of first-class masters and was certainly no match for a seasoned veteran like Tian Boguang. There was no need for him to throw his life away in vain.

“Brother Linghu, I originally thought that all the disciples of the Huashan Sect were as upright and honest as you. I never expected that there would be such a treacherous and vicious person. I will help your Huashan Sect get rid of this scoundrel.”

"Tian Boguang said sternly, and then charged forward with his single sword, his figure as elusive as a ghost."

"You beast who defiles other men's wives and daughters, how dare you talk about being upright and honorable?"

Jiang Ning sneered, activating his innate internal energy, and charged forward as well.

In the blink of an eye, the longsword and the single-edged sword clashed once again.

when!

With a crisp metallic clang, Jiang Ning took a step back with his right leg, his toes pointing forward, sending mud flying behind him.

With a surge of power in his arm, the swords clashed together, producing a piercing sound. Jiang Ning's fierce gaze was fixed on Tian Boguang, who was standing right in front of him.

Jiang Ning leaned forward, his internal energy began to surge, and his innate internal energy spread along the longsword to the single-edged sword opposite him, before disappearing into Tian Boguang's body.

"what!"

Caught off guard, Tian Boguang let out a miserable cry, his strength weakening slightly. Jiang Ning, with a fierce expression, suddenly exerted force in his arm, slashing him back, and at the same time, used the momentum of turning around to deliver a powerful slash.

Tian Boguang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly retreated, raising his knife to parry.

"..."

Linghu Chong, who was already seriously injured, was completely dumbfounded.

He couldn't defeat Tian Boguang no matter how hard he tried, and he had to use all sorts of methods to barely escape with Yilin. But now his junior brother can fight Tian Boguang to a standstill, and even has the upper hand.

Although Jiang Ning had gained the upper hand earlier by using mud to catch Tian Boguang off guard, the two were now evenly matched.

This was unbelievable to Linghu Chong. Although Jiang Ning had come to save him, the gap between them now made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

(Nothing more to say, continuing to write 10,000 words a day, the next chapter will be posted around 11 o'clock, working hard to write~)

Chapter 74: Sword Qi

when!when!when!

Jiang Ning slashed repeatedly with his longsword, each strike more powerful than the last, the force so great that sparks flew as the swords clashed.

In those few seconds, Jiang Ning unleashed three sword strikes in quick succession. One strike aimed at Tian Boguang's neck, another at his head, and the third strike saw Jiang Ning leap up above Tian Boguang and thrust down directly at the top of his head.

"Are you crazy?"

Upon witnessing the other party's ruthless methods, Tian Boguang was both shocked and furious.

Zheng~

Tian Boguang narrowly dodged the thrust. Jiang Ning's longsword pierced the soil. Seeing the opening his opponent had made, Tian Boguang was overjoyed and quickly slashed. But Jiang Ning was prepared. He stretched out his left hand to support himself on the ground, twisted his waist sharply, and his right leg drew an arc in mid-air, slapping Tian Boguang hard across the face, sending him flying.

puff!

Tian Boguang fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood, with a few teeth mixed in with the blood.

Whoosh!

A figure emerged from the nearby woods, swiftly charging towards Tian Boguang, the long sword in his hand gleaming coldly.

The person was too fast. Tian Boguang's eyelids twitched wildly, and he rolled over.

"what!"

Tian Boguang let out a miserable scream.

He hadn't managed to dodge it completely; Ning Zhongze's sword had pierced his inner thigh, narrowly avoiding turning him into a eunuch.

"Master's wife."

Upon seeing that the person who had arrived was Ning Zhongze, Linghu Chong shouted with delight.

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived from the other side, Tian Boguang was both shocked and furious.

He had already witnessed Jiang Ning's strength and knew he couldn't kill him in a short time. But then reinforcements arrived, so Tian Boguang decided not to fight any longer and turned to run away.

"Despicable and shameless, resorting to underhanded tactics, and now trying to bully the weak with numbers. The Huashan Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a righteous sect. I, Tian Boguang, am no match for them. Today I have experienced the Huashan Sect's methods firsthand. Farewell!"

Tian Boguang was known in the martial arts world as "The Lone Wanderer of Ten Thousand Miles," which refers to his exceptional lightness skill. Several times, the righteous sects joined forces to capture him, but he always managed to escape thanks to his superb lightness skill.

Although Huashan Sect's "One Step to Heaven" lightness skill is a decent movement technique, it is not top-notch. Now that Tian Boguang has lost his will to fight and is determined to leave, Jiang Ning will not be able to catch up if he really wants to kill him.

But he wouldn't let Tian Boguang leave so easily.

Jiang Ning's eyes were ruthless. He activated his innate skill with all his might and chased after Tian Boguang like the wind. His speed was so fast that he closed the distance between them.

"Ning'er!"

Ning Zhongze's expression tightened behind her. She was afraid that Jiang Ning's reckless pursuit might lead him into Tian Boguang's trap and cause him to suffer.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Tian Boguang turned around and glanced at it, a cold smile appearing on his face.

"You're the one I've been waiting for!"

Tian Boguang suddenly raised his left hand, and when he left, he had grabbed a handful of powder from his pocket. He then threw it at Jiang Ning, and at the same time, he turned around and attacked.

This is the sleeping potion he always carries with him. He usually uses it to knock out any tough opponents or virtuous women he encounters.

During the fight, he couldn't find an opportunity to take out the sleeping potion from his pocket, and Jiang Ning must have been on guard at that time, so his trick might not have worked. But now is the perfect opportunity.

If Jiang Ning is hit by this move, he can cut down the kid who just gave him a hard time. Even if he is not hit, it doesn't matter. Jiang Ning will definitely not expect this move and will be flustered. At that time, he can also cut off one of the other's hands and one of his feet. That would not be a loss.

A glint flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes, and he chuckled.

"You can do a small job even if you're a master of a skill."

With a flick of his sleeve, Jiang Ning unleashed a powerful gust of wind that dispersed the sleeping potion scattered in the air.

He wouldn't be young and arrogant, letting his guard down just because Tian Boguang had been defeated. He knew that dealing with this kind of person required constant vigilance, otherwise the outcome could be reversed at any time.

Seeing this, Tian Boguang cursed inwardly, turned and left without looking back.

Watching Tian Boguang's retreating figure, Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes and urged his internal energy to surge wildly onto the longsword.

The longsword, suddenly subjected to too much internal force from Jiang Ning, trembled and emitted soft chimes, as if it would break at any moment. A layer of white light appeared on the surface of the sword.

Jiang Ning suddenly swung his sword, and an invisible white light rushed away with a strong wind.

The sound of wind breaking came from behind, and a sense of danger approached. Tian Boguang did not turn around. He activated his inner strength with all his might, and his speed increased again. His movement speed doubled, and in the blink of an eye, he flashed several body lengths away.

But with the alarm still blaring behind him, Tian Boguang had no choice but to veer to the right based on his instincts.

"what!"

A mournful scream echoed through the woods from Tian Boguang.

His left sleeve was completely torn, and a horrific wound appeared on his arm and shoulder, so deep that the bone was visible, with blood spurting out.

Tian Boguang's expression was ferocious, and his face was extremely pale, but despite this, he did not stop. He swayed and ran a distance, and then disappeared from sight.

Jiang Ning, who had just unleashed that sword strike, immediately felt that most of his inner strength had been used up, and he could no longer exert any strength in his hands. His face also turned pale, so Jiang Ning had no choice but to stop and watch Tian Boguang's figure disappear into the distance.

"Ning'er."

Jiang Ning heard Ning Zhongze's concerned voice from behind. He turned around and saw that Ning Zhongze had caught up with him.

Seeing Jiang Ning's pale face, Ning Zhongze asked with concern, "Ning'er, how are you feeling? Were you attacked by Tian Boguang just now?"

Jiang Ning shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, Master's wife, it's nothing. I just used up too much internal energy and haven't recovered yet."

Hearing this, Ning Zhongze finally felt relieved, but frowned and scolded, "That Tian Boguang is skilled in lightness skills and is very cunning. If you can't catch up, then don't chase after him. Your master values ​​you the most. What if something unexpected happens? Your master and I will go and look for his whereabouts later. Why risk your life like this?"

"It's just a pity that we couldn't kill him."

Jiang Ning felt a little regretful.

Ning Zhongze also felt it was a pity: "If you had waited for me to come together just now, that would have been better."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's not that I didn't wait for my master's wife, but if I hadn't made a move just now, Tian Boguang would have attacked my senior brother soon. Please don't blame me, my master's wife."

Ning Zhongze nodded: "Alright, since Chong'er is alright, it's not a pity. It doesn't matter if we can't kill Tian Boguang. His lightness skill is indeed very impressive. There's no need to regret it. In the future, your master and I will go and kill him together."

She wouldn't really blame Jiang Ning; she was just worried that something might happen to Jiang Ning in Tian Boguang's hands.

Among the current disciples of Mount Hua, Jiang Ning is the most promising. He is becoming increasingly important to Yue Buqun. If something were to happen to Jiang Ning, it would be very difficult for Yue Buqun to explain it to him.

Yue Buqun will really go crazy then.

“What Master’s wife says is true.”

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.

Despite saying that, Ning Zhongze was still gratified and overjoyed.

The fact that Jiang Ning could fight Tian Boguang to such an extent already demonstrates his exceptional talent.

"Let's go. Now that Chong'er is alright, let's go back."

Ning Zhongze softened her tone and said.

"it is good."

Jiang Ning nodded, and the two turned and walked back in the original direction.

"Master's wife, junior brother."

Linghu Chong walked over, clutching his chest and staggering, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Chong'er, how are you feeling now?"

Seeing him like this, Ning Zhongze quickly asked him with concern.

Linghu Chong forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Master's wife, I'm fine."

After saying that, Linghu Chong thanked Jiang Ning: "Thank you for coming to save me, Junior Brother."
