Chapter 282

Yingshan County, located at the southern foot of the main peak of the Dabie Mountains, Tiantangzhai, was the location of the ancient kingdom of Ying, and the fief of the ancient sage and ancestor of justice, Gao Tao, 4,000 years ago.

The three heroes of Yingshan roamed the Dabie Mountains, each boasting peerless martial arts skills: Li Dasheng, the master of the 鈥淢ountain-Breaking Fist鈥�; Luo Shentong, the master of the 鈥淩iver-Stopping Finger鈥�; and Liu Tianyi, the master of the 鈥淜icking Star Leg鈥�.

Honghu is a famous large lake in the Jingchu region. It is vast, not inferior to Dongting. The two villains of Honghu are famous villains in the Honghu area. At the beginning, the Honghu gang had 300 to 400 people, but they were destroyed overnight by the two of them, which shows their abilities.

The weapons used by these two people are quite rare in the rivers and lakes, and they are surprisingly the mountain-opening axe and the horse-beheading sword.

The Four Swords of the Han River are also extraordinary. They are the descendants of the Han Jiang Sect, which was famous throughout Xiangfan at the time.

Ten years ago, the Han Jiang Sect was wiped out by the Yuan court’s martial arts experts. The Four Swords of the Han River managed to escape after a fierce battle. On the road of escape, they met King Weisun, who saw that the four were outstanding martial artists and lowered himself to offer them amnesty. The four had no way out and thus joined the Weisun royal court.

King Weisun is a magnanimous and tolerant ruler, and although he is a Yuan court prince, he often ventures deep into the mountains and ravines, acting recklessly, but in fact relying on the strength of his nine top experts.

King Weisun’s previous attempt to marry Lady Xiexiang ended in failure, which led to the intensification of the Yi-Miao war. Although no one dares to say much in front of him, he often feels ashamed in his heart.

This time, Yang and his son praised Long Kongkong as if he were a heavenly being. He came to the Wuxian Sect with the determination to win, and brought all nine of his top fighters with him. If Long Kongkong was 鈥渦nreasonable,鈥� they would use force to suppress him鈥�

as for the various poisons of the Wuxian Sect, he had another plan prepared.

But before they met Long Kongkong, they ran into the merciless Mie Jie.

The nine top experts wanted to compete for the credit, so they all launched an attack at once. Mie Jie was not afraid and charged straight at them. He took three steps, unsheathed his sword, and suddenly quickened his movements. The long sword shook as he pointed it at the two villains in the lake.

These two men were using heavy weapons, and most people with heavy weapons are not as quick to react. Therefore, Mie Jie attacked them first.

Mie Jie’s sword came out like lightning, but the two men did not seem alarmed. Each sat on his horse, sank his waist, lowered his body, twisted his waist, drew his arm back, and raised his mountain-cleaving axe and horse-slaying broadsword diagonally along his body, clinking twice as they came up, just in time to block Mie Jie’s sword.

Mie Jie’s eyes twitched, and he nodded secretly: these two men compensated for the lack of speed of heavy weapons with changes in body movements and the direction of their weapons. Their moves were simple but brilliant, and they were indeed no ordinary fighters.

At this moment, the Four Swords of the Han River leaped from the left and right, four long swords pointing downwards at Mie Jie from a high position.

Mie Jie took a half step back, and in an instant, his internal strength flowed directly into the long sword. He swung out with the move 鈥淐louds Crossing the Golden Roof鈥�, and a magnificent flash of sword light swept across the scene. Upon contact with the long swords of the Four Swords of the Han River, the four men let out a cry of alarm, and either rolled backwards or jumped sideways to avoid it.

Mie Jie’s internal strength surged. The iron sword in her hands was from the Taishan School, which was shorter than average swords but much wider and heavier, giving it a great advantage in a head-on clash.

As the Four Swords of the Han River retreated, the Two Furies of Honghu took the opportunity to attack, swinging their sabers and hacking with their axes, their ferocious momentum accompanied by a howling wind.

Mie Jie was about to respond, when suddenly there was a sound behind her, and the three heroes from Yingshan had arrived, attacking her with their fists, fingers, and legs.

Although they were attacking from behind, their fist and finger techniques and leg strength all exuded a majestic and masculine air. Mie Jie frowned slightly and wondered if these people were lay disciples of Shaolin, as they were using the Shaolin school’s most powerful techniques.

While she was thinking, she did not slow down her movements in the slightest. She spun around, performing the 鈥淲ind and Clouds Parting鈥� technique from the Golden Summit’s Nine Styles, which combines both offence and defence.

This sword technique was originally used by the founder of Shaolin, Guo Zushi, who was sitting on the Golden Summit, watching the sea of clouds, when suddenly a fierce wind arose, blowing the clouds and mist away.

The three heroes of Ying Mountain quickly changed their moves and leapt backwards, and the knives and axes of the two villains of Honghu were also shaken away.

Li Dasheng, the leader of the three heroes and the 鈥淢ountain-Breaking Fist Master,鈥� cried out, 鈥淭his nun thief is highly skilled in martial arts! Everyone attack together, don’t let her get her hands around you!鈥�

Before he finished speaking, the 鈥淢ountain-Turning Flying Horse鈥� suddenly snorted angrily, stood up, put its hooves together, and stepped down on Li Dasheng’s back of the head.

Li Dasheng heard the sound of the wind behind his head and quickly side-stepped, laughing loudly. He took four steps and in one step he broke out of the encirclement. He slashed his iron sword diagonally, and Luo Shentong, who was using the 鈥淩iver-blocking Finger Technique,鈥� let out a cry and dodged sideways. He used his left hand to pluck at Li’s wrist with his five fingers, while his right hand reached under Li’s left hand and also used his five fingers to tap Li’s lower abdomen!

Before Miejie could react, he heard the sound of the wind. He didn’t realize that the three people seemed to be using Shaolin kung fu. At this moment, he saw that it was indeed the case and shouted angrily, 鈥淒orayapij! Are Shaolin masters also working for the tiger?鈥�

The word 鈥渄oro鈥� is the shortened form of the province of Betal, which is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word 鈥減attra鈥�. The original meaning is the betel tree, which is shaped like a palm tree with long and dense leaves. After the leaves dry, they can be carved with writing, and they can also be written with ink. They are called 鈥渂etel leaves鈥�, and the original Buddhist classics are mostly written on them. The 鈥淲estern Regions鈥� records that: 鈥淭heir leaves are long and broad, and their color is shiny. All countries write on them, and they are used everywhere.鈥�

This hand-folded leaf refers to kung fu, which requires practice with all ten fingers. When it is used, the fingers are spread out in a circle, and each finger can injure the enemy. It is truly unpredictable. Because the fingers spread out like the shape of a lotus leaf, it is called this name. It is the most violent and domineering of the many Shaolin finger techniques!

In the martial arts world, finger techniques like this one, which can attack with all ten fingers, are extremely rare, so Mie Jie recognized it at once.

When Luo Shentong heard the question from Mie Jie, he sneered at the corner of his mouth, as if he hadn’t heard it, only his ten fingers flickering more rapidly. Mie Jie’s eyes flashed with coldness, and his wrists tightened as he used the move 鈥淟ight Luo Small Fan鈥�. However, a buzzing sound was heard as nine sword lotuses bloomed almost simultaneously in front of him, protecting his entire body. If Luo Shentong’s hand reached forward any further, it would be like sticking his fingers into a meat grinder.

Luo Shentong was shocked and quickly withdrew his hand. However, at the moment he wanted to change his move, the nine lotuses in front of Mie Jie merged into one, and he took a step forward and passed his shoulder. However, he saw a flash of bright light, and the iron sword had already sunk into Luo Shentong’s chest!

This move is the killing move in the 鈥淪word of Destruction鈥� called 鈥淪oul Vague and Spirit Stunned鈥�. It emphasizes sudden acceleration during the transition between attack and defense, so that the opponent’s heart stops before the soul even understands what is going on.

Now that she has perfected the Six Yang Spirit Pivot Technique, her internal strength propels her sword faster than ever. Even Luo Shentong, who is exceptionally skilled in martial arts, is pierced through the heart by her sword.

鈥淪econd Brother!鈥� 鈥淪econd Brother!鈥�

Seeing Luo Shentong defeated, the eldest and third eldest of the Three Heroes instantly have bloodshot eyes. With strange screams, Li Dasheng’s arms resemble those of an ape as he unleashes seven punches in a row, the killing move from the Shaolin Seven Star Fist called 鈥淪even Stars Gathering鈥�.

Liu Tianyi, the 鈥淜icking Star Leg Technique鈥� expert, alternated between left and right, and in the blink of an eye, he landed six kicks in a row. As soon as one leg was launched, the second followed like a shadow, closely followed by the third, which then turned into a shape from the shadow. This was the sharp move in the Shaolin leg technique 鈥淪hadow Following Leg Technique鈥�!

Overcome with grief, these two men pounded away with fists and feet, leaving no stone unturned. Not willing to face their onslaught head-on, Mie Jie retreated, and took advantage of the situation to pull the iron sword out of Luo Shentong’s chest. He twisted his body and swept it away, sending flying the blood-tempered sword, which also knocked away the long sword of the Four Swords of the Han River.

Before she could stand firm, the two villains from Honghu once again came at her, and the remaining two of the Three Heroes attacked like mad. Jieji stepped and dodged with the Four Symbols Steps, but when the Four Swords of the Han River saw this, they stood still and attacked one after the other, trying to block Jieji’s footwork.

The nine of them swayed and staggered, each using their own fierce techniques. In the blink of an eye, they fought for twenty or thirty moves. Kuanche Puhua watched on, his eyes wide with amazement.

The Ruyang Wang had many skilled people under his command, taking care of the affairs of the martial world for the court. Kuanche Puhua envied and resented them, and that’s why he spent a lot of money to hire these nine masters. He thought that he was not inferior to the Ruyang Wang, but he didn’t expect that one person, Mie Jie, could hold his own. Only then did he vaguely understand that this nun’s martial arts were probably terrifyingly high!

After fighting for more than ten rounds, Mie Jie became impatient. Unconsciously, he had already switched to the swordplay in the Sword Demon Jade Book, using the sharp swordplay in the Broken Knife Style, Broken Whip Style, Broken Sword Style, and Broken Palm Style like a river in full flow.

The eight men felt that as soon as the swordplay of Mie Jie changed, the originally extremely skilled and fierce moves suddenly became unpredictable. The swordplay was either skillful or clumsy, fast or slow, and there was simply no method to it. However, every time a sword was drawn, it pointed directly at the person’s weak spot. They couldn’t help but secretly feel fear in their hearts, and all thought to themselves: If it weren’t for the group besieging her and the continuous and tight offensive, could I have survived ten moves from her alone?

Zhuanshanfei stared with his grape-like eyes at the commotion for a while, and then suddenly started running around the group, his head poking out here and there, obviously looking for an opportunity to bite someone.

Miejie was worried that he would get hurt, and shouted, 鈥淪tay over there!鈥�

Zhuanshanfei turned his ears, and sure enough, he jumped to the side, his eyes blinking with concern.

Mie Jie had already gained the upper hand. His body moved with flashes of light, like a grey shadow, slashing in and out between his eight opponents. Everyone turned pale, shouting and yelling, trying to encircle Mie Jie again.

However, at this moment, Mie Jie had already used her killer move. As she floated about, she kept slapping her left palm, and the eight people were initially surprised to see her slap casually. However, in an instant, palm power exploded in front, behind, straight or curved. Several of them suddenly groaned and bled. Mie Jie’s sword light unfolded, instantly killing three people, precisely the two Hunghu villains and one of the Hanjiang Four Swords.

Of the remaining five, Li Dasheng and Liu Tianyi each received a palm strike, but Shaolin internal strength is extraordinary after all. The two glanced at each other, suppressed their injuries, and turned their heads and ran away.

The remaining three of the Four Swords of the Han River were too slow to react. When they tried to escape again, the iron sword of disaster was already upon them, and they had no choice but to resist helplessly. Li and Liu, however, did not even look at King Weisun, and ran down the ridge as fast as they could.

The King of Wei Shun was dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, and then he hugged his stomach and fled for his life. However, the light of the Sword of Destruction flashed, and in a few moves, it killed all three of the Han Jiang Swordsmen. His figure swept out, and he gave the King of Wei Shun a flying kick in the back, sending him rolling all over the ground.

When the King was young, he did practice martial arts for a few years. However, regardless of his actual skill, with a body like his, if he punched someone, his fist would knock the opponent flying before it even touched them.

King Weisun begged for mercy, but Mie Jie ignored him and swung his sword to finish him off. As he saw the tip of the sword touch his flesh, a thought suddenly occurred to him: This guy is a prince of the Yuan court, and he must be in collusion with the Wuxian Sect if he came here. If I capture him, won’t that make a good hostage?

As he thought, the thrust of his long sword suddenly reversed, and the tip of the sword hit the back of King Weisun’s head, and he fainted instantly.

Mie Jie went to take another look at the soldiers at the foot of the mountain. He saw Li and Luo fleeing in a panic, and they were all clamoring. Mie Jie didn’t want to waste any more time. He descended the dozens of wooden steps, turned around, and ran back up. As he ran, he exerted his strength with his feet, and the wooden steps broke with a loud sound, leaving a gap more than ten zhang long.

Mie Jie was confident that it would be difficult for ordinary people to ascend lightly, so he told the horse, 鈥淲ait for me here obediently. After I take care of my business, I’ll take you home.鈥�

Zhuan Shanfei winked, thinking to himself, 鈥淚’ve probably been renamed Guai Guai now. Guai Guai nodded obediently, and stood still with his four hooves motionless.

Mie Jie looked up at the summit, returned his sword to its sheath, took a deep breath, picked up King Weishun, leaped more than a meter into the air, reached out and grabbed the rope, and climbed up section by section with one hand.

When he was about to reach the top, he suddenly heard someone above him say, 鈥淢aster Mie Jie, don’t come up here, or I won’t show any old kindness and will cut the rope.鈥�

Mie Jie was slightly startled and looked up, but saw a pretty face on the cliff, which looked very familiar. He thought for a moment and remembered that it was Hua Wu, the elder of the Five Immortals Sect!

Earlier, when the flares went up and the fireworks soared into the sky, Long Kong Kong did not bother to pay attention to it and went after Ye Guhong alone, but he sent three elders and three captains to meet the enemy. When the six of them arrived at the second platform, they saw the troops of King Weisun approaching. They were more than 100 zhang apart, so they could not see the banners of the incoming troops clearly. They just knew that a large number of enemies were attacking. So the six of them agreed to defend the second cliff and wait for Long Kong Kong to return.

After a while, they faintly heard the sound of fighting from below. The six of them looked at each other, and after a while, they saw the rope shaking. Hua Wu peeked out and thought, 鈥淭his is bad. The sect leader abducted the Emei disciples, and now the enemy is at the door.鈥�

Mie Jie heard her threaten, and smiled slightly. She mentioned the King of Weishun: 鈥淭his Tartar king is your backer. Do you not care about his life?鈥�

Hua Wu Qi said in surprise, 鈥淪ince when did we have a Tartar backer?鈥�

Before the words had finished, the power of the 鈥淒estruction鈥� technique surged, and she swung her arm, sending the 200-plus-kilogram body of King Weisun flying straight up and crashing down on Hua Wu like a cannonball.

Hua Wu let out a startled cry and subconsciously dodged, and King Weisun fell to the ground, screaming in pain. He woke up from his faint, and before he could see who the people in front of him were, he exclaimed, 鈥淭he demon nun is terrifying, quickly save me.鈥�

The six Hua Wu felt a flash of grey in front of them, and Mie Jie had already come up the cliff. With a sneer on his face and murderous intent in his eyes, he swept his gaze across the six of them and said coldly, 鈥淲here are you keeping my orphaned brother?鈥�

Jin Zhu was about to tell him, but Hua Wu tugged on his sleeve, so he had to keep quiet.

Jie Mie noticed the difference and stared at Jin Zhu deeply, and then sneered, 鈥淪ince you won’t tell me, I’ll just have to kill my way up.鈥�

Ling Chan sighed and said, 鈥淲e are obeying the order of the sect master to resist outsiders. Although we don’t want to offend you, there is nothing we can do. If you can’t defeat us, please leave the mountain pass. The sect master will naturally give Emei an explanation in the future.鈥�

Jie Mie said sternly, 鈥淲ait for the future?鈥�

With a whoosh, he swept out, and with a move called 鈥淏uddha’s Light Shining Everywhere,鈥� he shot his palm at Ling Chan’s face.

Ling Chan let out a startled cry, feeling that the opponent’s palm technique was so powerful that there was no way to avoid it. He hurriedly used his power, let out a loud 鈥渃oo coo,鈥� and shot his palms out at the same time.

When the two met, there was a muffled sound, and with a thud, Mie Jie’s body swayed, and Ling Chan flew backwards, blood spraying furiously as he was in the air.

鈥淢y wife!鈥� Qingcheng Shuangjun cried out in unison, while Hua Wu, Pang Shen and Jin Zhu were also shocked.

You see, Ling Chan had practiced the Toad Internal Alchemy since childhood, and in terms of internal strength alone, he was even more powerful than Long Kongkong. He was the number one expert in internal strength cultivation in the Five Immortals Sect, but who would have thought that he would be killed by a single palm strike from Mie Jie.

Mie Jie exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and nodded, saying, 鈥淕ood skills! Receiving the 100% palm power of a poor nun and only being injured but not killed is something to be proud of.鈥�

Then he looked at the Qingcheng Shuangjun, who were carefully checking the injuries of the spirit toad, and showed a disgusted expression, hating, 鈥淏ut you, a woman, actually have two husbands. You are truly shameless. You are a demon woman. Your Wuxian Sect harbors filth and scum. I, a poor nun, will wipe you out today!鈥�

When Hua Wu heard that Ling Chan was still alive, her heart relaxed a little, but then she angrily said, 鈥淓ven if you are highly skilled in martial arts, our Wuxian Sect is not a soft target for anyone to manipulate!鈥� With a flick of her right hand, a string of soul-destroying centipede darts shot out.

The Flower Centipede knew that it would be difficult to stop the Disaster with just concealed weapons, so as soon as the darts were fired, it pounced out after them. The Three Yin Centipede Claws created thousands of claw shadows, just like a hundred-legged centipede.

Although the Golden Spider didn’t want to be an enemy of the Disaster, after all, they were sisters. After seeing the Disaster seriously injure the Spirit Toad with just one move, how could she let the Flower Centipede take risks? She displayed her body movements and thousands of poisonous spider hands, quickly poking out.
