Chapter 110 Attacked
The next morning, as the sun shone on the earth, King Ling rode a red steed, followed closely by the five great female consorts of Qin, Qi, Shu, Hua.
Along with several of Bai Lingxing's followers, they embarked on the long journey back to the Ling Kingdom.
They gained nothing from this trip to the capital; it was essentially a vacation.
However, it wasn't without its gains. At least they recruited a group of relatively decent bandits, and even a martial arts master like Hong Pijing.
The journey back was extremely long and arduous. Along the way, they had to traverse towering mountains, climb steep and precipitous peaks, and trek through dense and secluded forests, while also enduring the trials of severe weather such as storms, torrential rains, and extreme heat and cold.
During this long and tedious journey, Shanzi and his companions did not waste a single second.
Besides traveling, they also used their spare time to diligently practice their martial arts skills.
At the same time, they often took precious time to teach Cheng Peng the mysterious and unpredictable Linglong sword technique.
The Linglong Knife Technique, as an extremely exquisite and profound martial arts skill, is essentially about the flexibility and versatility of the knife techniques and the lightness and grace of the body.
Because the Linglong Divine Skill is a unique skill that tends to be gentle and graceful, it was quite difficult and unrewarding for Cheng Peng, who was tall and strong like an iron tower, to practice it.
Every time he used this sword technique, his clumsy movements and stiff posture always made people laugh, and sometimes even made his companions burst into laughter.
Fortunately, with the patient guidance and careful instruction of Xiao Lie and others, Cheng Peng gradually began to grasp the essence of the Linglong Knife Technique through his tenacious perseverance and unremitting efforts.
As his understanding of swordsmanship deepened, his skills also improved significantly.
Every time Xiao Lie saw Cheng Peng make new breakthroughs and progress in his swordsmanship, a gratified smile would involuntarily appear on his face.
And so, the days passed by, and time flew by like a fleeting moment.
Before they knew it, two months had slipped away in their hurried pace.
The sun was shining brightly that day, but there was a slight chill in the breeze.
After a long journey, the group finally arrived at the border of the four kingdoms of Si Chao, Gu Xuan Chao, Ling Guo, and Qin Guo.
The terrain here is extremely precipitous, with towering peaks all around, stretching endlessly, like a natural barrier across the land.
This region is not only a vital passage connecting various countries, but also a strategic location fought over by military strategists.
Just as everyone was about to stop and rest, the tranquil atmosphere was ruthlessly torn apart by a sudden burst of rapid hoofbeats.
The thunderous sound of hooves, approaching from afar, instantly shattered the surrounding tranquility.
Startled, everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of dark figures rushing in from all directions like ghosts.
These people were all dressed in black, and they moved as fast as the wind, closing in on the crowd in the blink of an eye.
What's even more chilling is that each of them wears a hideous mask, revealing only a pair of cold, piercing eyes that send shivers down your spine.
Furthermore, they held various sharp weapons that gleamed with a cold light in their hands, the edges of which faintly shone with a chilling gleam, making it clear at a glance that they were up to no good.
"Everyone be careful, the enemy is attacking!" The Spirit King, as expected of a veteran of many battles, reacted extremely quickly.
He sensed the potential danger almost as soon as the sound of hooves rang out, and without hesitation stepped forward to shield everyone behind him.
His face was solemn, his eyes fixed on the approaching man in black, and he exuded a powerful aura, like an indestructible fortress.
"It's you! Give me your life!" Upon seeing the group of men in black, Daya immediately used her exquisite divine skill to charge forward.
Seeing Daya rush forward, Shanzi, Xiaolie, Afu, and Xiaoyue also drew their swords and rushed out.
However, Hong Pijing, standing in the crowd, seemed somewhat powerless at this moment.
Because the strange poison he had been poisoned with had not been completely cleared, his movements were noticeably slower than others.
Nevertheless, he mustered his spirits, gripped his longsword tightly, and tried his best to keep up with the pace of the group.
"Hmph... Your doomsday has come!" With a hoarse and piercing sneer, everyone realized that a man in black had appeared in a tree not far away.
The man was tall and imposing, standing on a tree and looking down at the crowd.
He raised his hand and waved it lightly. In an instant, the numerous men in black who had been poised to attack surged forward like a flood bursting its banks, rushing towards the crowd with boundless killing intent.
Daya moved with agility, like a nimble deer, and instantly charged into the battle. Her punches and kicks whistled through the air as she aimed straight for the vital points of one of the men in black.
At the same time, Shanzi and his companions were not to be outdone, each displaying their exquisite skills and engaging in fierce combat with the men in black.
Holding a longsword, Xiao Lie moved like a ghost, disappearing in a flash. With a swing of his sword, the sword light was like a dragon, extremely sharp, directly attacking the enemy man in black.
The man in black raised his sword to parry, then countered with a strike aimed at Xiao Lie's neck. Xiao Lie retreated, weaving through the men in black like a whirlwind, his sword flashing wherever it went.
Cheng Peng, although he had only been cultivating for a short time, was already displaying astonishing strength.
He gripped the broadsword tightly, and although each swing appeared somewhat clumsy, the sword's momentum was exceptionally fierce, like a tiger descending a mountain, heading straight for the man in black.
Seeing this, Mei Yanyan immediately flashed to Cheng Peng's side. She acted with lightning speed, resolving crisis after crisis for Cheng Peng.
However, just when everyone thought the situation was still under control, a sudden change occurred.
A group of men in black approached silently from all directions like ghosts, their target being Hong Pijing.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Daya and the others were caught off guard, and their defenses instantly fell into chaos.
"Oh no, they're trying to ambush Senior Hong!" Xiao Lie, with his sharp eyes, spotted the danger immediately and shouted anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Afu immediately realized what was happening. While dealing with the men in black around him, he tried to move closer to Hong Pijing to provide support.
Despite being attacked from both sides, Hong Pijing showed no fear whatsoever.
A playful smile appeared on his lips, and he once again wielded the wine jug, which transformed into several afterimages, repelling several men in black who tried to approach.
However, this attack also caused his expression to change slightly, clearly indicating that the toxins in his body had begun to take effect.
Just then, the Spirit King flashed and appeared beside Hong Pijing.
His hands moved with incredible speed, instantly rescuing Hong Pijing from his predicament. Seeing that Hong Pijing was unharmed, he immediately attacked the other side, engaging in a fierce battle with the man in black.
"You people of the Poisonous Yin Sect, you're truly persistent." Hong Pijing looked at the man in black before him and sneered.
Upon hearing this, the man in black sneered, "Old man Hong, you've really made us search for you."
To possess such power even after being struck by the Grand Elder's 'Heavenly Knot' is truly admirable.
Upon hearing this, Hong Pijing's face darkened: "I will settle this score with your elder sooner or later, and make sure he doesn't die too young."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He swept his sharp gaze across the men in black around him and sneered, "No, no, none of you have a chance to go back now that you've come here."
After saying that, he laughed loudly and attacked again.
However, the number of men in black was simply too great; they seemed endless, surging in wave after wave.
As time went on, everyone's physical strength and inner strength were gradually depleted, and the situation became increasingly critical.
Before long, both sides had suffered casualties. Shanzi, Xiaolie, Afu, and others were covered in wounds, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered, engaging in a desperate battle with the men in black.
"Everyone, stay calm." The Spirit King's voice rang out amidst the chaos, like a stabilizing force, bringing some peace to everyone's hearts.
He stared intently at the men in black ahead and said coldly, "So this is the Shadow Sect, the Poisonous Yin Cult. Today I'll show you that trying to kill me was the stupidest thing you've ever done."
After saying that, he flashed and charged back into the battle.
At the same time, Bai Lingxing and the others fought while protecting Daya and the others.
Under the leadership of the Spirit King, everyone worked together and launched a thrilling breakout battle...
