Chapter 50
Deep Mountains
Hearing the chilling noise, all the martial artists present shuddered.
But when everyone searched for the source of the howling, no one saw the so-called Night Wolf King under the moon.
"Could it be a legendary monster?"
"Bullshit! If we had that kind of thing, we'd be eaten alive, not even a trace left. How could you be here chasing after young ladies?"
"But even the alpha wolf couldn't howl with such a terrifying power, I think it must be..."
"run!"
The chance to escape was fleeting.
Chen Jingshu finally managed to seize an opportunity.
The cold yet captivating voice exploded in the ears of every disciple, and the members of both martial arts schools felt their blood boil.
With his legs bulging, he charged forward toward the unknown path.
Because Chen Jingshu and her sister were certain that the bandits who had blocked their way earlier had not set up an ambush on this path.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such threatening words.
"Damn it, which blind wolf dares to block my way? I'm furious! Find that wolf for me, skin it alive and make it into a wolfskin coat!"
The speaker was the true leader among these disciples of the hunting martial arts school; he was short, ugly, and blind in one eye.
Hidden in the crowd, inconspicuous and unassuming, but the advantage is that you can always strike unexpectedly.
To deliver a devastating blow to the leader of the opposing side.
Making them impossible to defend against is a lesson learned by gang members who have been navigating the underworld for many years.
However, a sudden wolf howl disrupted all his plans, infuriating him so much that he jumped up and down in a rage.
"Brother, we didn't find the wolf, but the brothers all saw a pair of eyes emitting an eerie green light, and it ran into that dark path!"
The short, earthen-ox-like man with a sclera showing in his right eye said fiercely, "At all costs, capture those two female disciples and bring them back to me. The martial arts exam is not important."
Also, bring that wolf back to me. I want to chop it up and eat it!
The dark-force martial artist's qi and blood were exposed, and the obvious-force thug next to him trembled three times.
Seven or eight small teams began their operations.
……
Chen Jingshu and her group ran a long way in one breath, not knowing how far they had run, but they saw the sky beginning to lighten.
Even the martial artists with internal strength present felt as if their lungs were about to explode, burning intensely.
Every breath I take hurts.
The transition between rising and falling breaths was truly seamless.
And when you suddenly stop, the muscle soreness makes everyone wear a mask of pain.
"Why have you stopped moving forward?"
"There's no road ahead!"
"It seems to me that having a road or not having a road is the same thing."
Hongyu, the senior sister of Xianghong Martial Arts School, scratched her head in bewilderment. If it weren't for Chen Jingyun and her group leading the way, they would still be wandering in the deep mountains.
After muttering to herself, Hong Yu's aura changed, and she drew her sword from its red scabbard with a whoosh: "Since I can't run away, then I won't run away."
We have five masters of internal strength here. Three are from your Poshan Martial Arts School, and two are from our Xianghong Martial Arts School.
That band of mountain bandits consisted of only five experts in internal energy cultivation; in close combat, they might not necessarily lose to them.
Chen Jingshu and Chen Jingyun glanced at the current state of the disciples from the two martial arts schools.
Not to mention that none of them have any experience in close combat, they are now almost out of energy and fighting spirit.
Facing a truly dead end, with a cliff on the left and pursuers behind.
Martial artists raised in a greenhouse don't even have the courage to burn their bridges.
They sat on the ground, bewildered, expressionlessly munching on the food in their hands.
Some people prepared some delicious food before setting off, but now they have no appetite for it at all.
I could hear the footsteps getting closer and closer behind me.
Countless tragic endings flashed through everyone's minds; the images felt incredibly real.
As they thought about it, the disciples were on the verge of collapse.
"I don't want to practice martial arts anymore, I want to go home, I don't want to take the martial arts exam!"
"Senior sister, this cliff doesn't seem to be very high. Junior brother will go first."
……
Chen Jingshu and Chen Jingyun tried their best to calm everyone down.
But once someone breaks down, that negative emotion will quickly spread to every disciple.
Some of the female disciples at Xianghong Martial Arts School even suffered from incontinence, because they all knew what would happen if they fell into the hands of bandits.
"what!"
"Ahhhhh!"
"What's going on? Who's yelling?" Chen Jingyun, who was usually quiet, was unusually angry.
"They don't seem to be one of ours..."
"It's behind us! It's the noise coming from those bandits!"
"Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?"
"Impossible. Once you enter the jungle, each martial arts school will fight on its own."
Aside from having a relatively good relationship with Xianghong Martial Arts School, we have very little contact with other martial arts schools, and they are all too busy taking care of themselves to have anyone to help us.
But the wails could be heard rising and falling.
And one after another, they arrived. Chen Jingyun and the others believed that reinforcements had indeed come.
"In that case, come with me and let's go back and slaughter these beasts!" Hongyu took a sip of water, regaining some of her strength.
The other disciples all looked at him, wondering why he wasn't moving.
Hongyu said awkwardly, "You're sure there's only one way back, right?"
Everyone: "..."
However, when everyone ran back, the scene before them made them almost unable to believe it was real.
The small team, originally consisting of more than 30 bandits and other forces, has now suffered 80% casualties.
Their corpses were covered with all sorts of traps, and the level of sophistication of these traps was something the martial arts school disciples had never even seen before.
Chen Jingshu, Chen Jingyun, and Hongyu took the lead and, relying on their remaining strength, killed all the martial artists who were trying to escape, thus ruining the pursuit plan that had lasted for a day and a night.
Only then did they see that there was a person standing in the valley, whose eyes were sharp as knives and flashed with a ghostly green light.
When she looked down at the various traps, Chen Jingshu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "He is actually a trap genius. The whistling arrows, animal traps, hanging ropes, and smoke traps are all very ingeniously made. It is truly admirable."
Thank you for your help. I am Chen Jingshu from Poshan Martial Arts School, and this is my younger sister, Chen Jingyun.
You were the one who saved us just now.
May I ask your esteemed name?
This will make it easier for my Poshan Martial Arts School to repay this kindness in the future.
Chen Jingshu was well-read and knowledgeable, but even she could only marvel at the sheer number of traps this person had laid out, marveling at his boundless intellect.
Like Hongyu, they all showed expressions of envy.
The woman had no advantage in martial arts training. The group all thought the same thing: if they had these traps by their side, they could increase their chances of success and safety in whatever they did.
But Duan Xuan, whose face was covered, had no intention of explaining anything. He knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, the meticulous Chen sisters would immediately recognize his identity.
From a distance, Duan Xuan took the grappling hook from his waist and removed the traps from the ground one by one.
He then darted into the woods and disappeared.
"Such a senior is exactly the kind of talent my Broken Mountain Martial Arts School needs!"
"That's right, that's right, my Xianghong Martial Arts School needs it too."
"Why don't we just capture him and take him back later?"
"Then tell me, which direction did that senior run off in?" Chen Jingyun asked with a charming smile.
Hongyu was in a dilemma for a moment, and stomped her foot in frustration.
"Report to Senior Sister, all the silver on these bandits has disappeared."
"The money is gone... It must have all been taken away by that senior. This senior is quite interesting. We should go back and tell Father. Maybe Father knows his sect," Chen Jingshu and her sister thought to themselves.
The crisis was averted. Everyone rested where they were, gulping down water and eating flatbread.
Suddenly, roar!
A wolf howl echoed from the quiet, empty valley.
This time, not only the disciples of Poshanzhuang and Xianghong Martial Arts School heard it.
The disciples who were hunting in the mountains all heard it.
Duan Xuan, who was still searching for Liu Chunmei and others, also heard it.
Everyone turned to look in one direction.
Deep in the mountains!
But when everyone searched for the source of the howling, no one saw the so-called Night Wolf King under the moon.
"Could it be a legendary monster?"
"Bullshit! If we had that kind of thing, we'd be eaten alive, not even a trace left. How could you be here chasing after young ladies?"

Deep in the mountains!
