Volume 4: The Rise of Wuji Dao Chapter 24: Young Phoenix, Old Bird, Dragon Sword and Ghost Hand
Not only Su Yan could see clearly the little movements between Li Jinyang and the servants with his spiritual sense, but Wu Yue could also detect them.
But neither of them was too lazy to reveal it.
Thinking that they had indeed walked for quite some time, Wu Yue said, "You can take a break, but don't light a fire, otherwise it will attract the people from the Thirteen Link Docks."
"Miss Wu Yue is really thoughtful." Li Jinyang flattered Wu Yue again, and then said to the two servants: "Did you hear that? You can rest, but you are not allowed to light a fire!"
"Yes!" The two servants responded in a pretentious manner.
Then they rested under a big tree, ate some dry food and drank cold water.
Poor Li Jinyang had been living a life of luxury since childhood. Occasionally, when he went out to purchase medicinal herbs, he would eat and live in a carriage , and even had a maid to warm his bed. How could he have ever suffered such hardship?
At this moment, chewing the cold and hard jerky and gnawing on the equally dry and cold steamed buns, I almost wanted to cry.
Seeing this, the two servants wanted to please Li Jinyang and started acting together.
One of them said, "Lady, I see there are not many people around here, why don't we make a fire? Otherwise, we won't be able to eat the dried meat and steamed buns."
Wu Yue's face turned cold when he heard this.
When she went out to sea to collect pearls, she spent most of the day in the seawater. What's more, she had cold food on the boat. It was steamed corn bread with salted fish. Even then, she couldn't bear to eat more.
This Mr. Li thinks beef jerky and steamed buns are too hard. He is really spoiled.
But after thinking about it, she said to Li Jinyang: "Give me your dried meat and steamed buns."
Li Jinyang didn't understand why, but he did it anyway.
Wu Yue took the steamed buns and beef jerky and circulated her internal energy into her palms. After a while, the steamed buns and beef jerky became softer.
She handed back the steamed buns and dried meat and said, "This is all I can do. Just eat it. You can't light a fire."
Li Jinyang thanked again: "Thank you Miss Wu Yue!"
When he ate beef jerky and steamed buns, he felt that they were particularly fragrant, as if they were stained with the fragrance of a beautiful woman...
After eating and drinking, they saw that it was pitch dark, so they simply rested until dawn and then continued on their journey.
However, the good luck of several people ran out yesterday.
Sanjiang County is densely populated, so even though the group chose to walk on country roads, they were still seen by many local residents.
The reason why the Thirteen Linked Docks were called local bandits was because when they picked up swords they were bandits, when they picked up farm tools they were farmers, and they had intricate ties with the local people.
Therefore, many of these people are the eyes and ears of the Thirteen Lianhuanwu, and it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish them.
After yesterday afternoon and this morning, the Thirteen Links finally tracked down Wu Yue and his group.
Soon, Wu Yue and his companions were intercepted by a group of elite men from the Thirteen Lianhuanwu at Xihe Beach on the border of Pingling and Dongqiu.
The leader seemed to be in his forties, tall and strong, with two black mustaches on his square face. He was holding a large dragon-headed ring knife in his hand, wearing chain mail and a bronze helmet. He was none other than the boss of the Thirteen Linked Docks, Dragon Knife Ghost Hand Sang Tianqi.
"Li Jinyang, I must get the thousand-year-old ginseng on you. If you know what's best for you, hand it over. Maybe I can still let you live."
After surrounding Wu Yue, Li Jinyang and the other three, Sang Tianqi said this.
But his eyes were always on Wu Yue.
Sang Tianqi had already learned from his subordinates who had previously attempted to rob and kill Li Jinyang but failed, that it was a woman with superb martial arts skills who saved Li Jinyang.
From the descriptions of his men, Sang Tianqi guessed that Wu Yue was at least at the eighth level of the acquired realm and had great martial arts skills.
Therefore, even with twenty or thirty capable subordinates, Sang Tianqi was still very wary of Wu Yue.
Upon hearing this, Li Jinyang grabbed the bag tightly, glanced at Wu Yue beside him, and then swallowed his saliva and said, " Sang Tianqi, my Donglin Pharmacy sells medicine. If you want this thousand-year-old ginseng, you can come to Gu County to buy it. Why do you have to rob it?"
“Hahaha!” Sang Tianqi laughed. “A thousand-year-old ginseng sells for at least 100,000 taels per stem. I can’t afford it. Besides, the entire Sanjiang County knows that I, the Thirteen Linked Docks, are bandits. Have you ever heard of a bandit who doesn’t rob someone but buys him for what he wants?”
After that, Sang Tianqi said to Wu Yue: "If this lady is willing to leave now, I will forgive her for what happened before."
Wu Yue said: "What if I don't agree?"
A cold light flashed in Sang Tianqi's eyes, and he said, "Then don't blame me for being rude!"
Before he finished speaking, Sang Tianqi raised the dragon-headed large ring knife toward the sky and slashed towards Wu Yue first.
At the same time, the surrounding bandits also attacked Li Jinyang and his two servants.
Li Jinyang shouted again and again: "Miss Wu Yue, save me! Come and save me!"
The bandits burst into laughter when they saw this.
"Master Li, that female warrior is fighting with our boss right now, how can she save you?"
"Hand over the ginseng if you know what's best for you!"
"Yes, hand over the ginseng!"
Although these bandits surrounded Li Jinyang, they did not dare to take any action immediately for fear of damaging the ginseng .
Li Jinyang got the reminder and immediately took out a wooden box from his bag, holding it up and said, "Don't come over here, or I'll throw the ginseng into the river and no one will be able to get it!"
At this point, the bandits who surrounded Li Jinyang and his servants became even more cautious.
On the other side, Wu Yue and Sang Tianqi had already accepted the challenge, and there were seven or eight bandit leaders of the fifth or sixth level of the acquired realm roaming around them.
Although Wu Yue had practiced with his fellow apprentices many times in the past two years, this was the first time he had fought against a person at the eighth level of the Later Heaven Realm in actual combat.
In addition, there were seven or eight bandit leaders roaming around, so her performance was a little abnormal at the beginning, and she could only barely tie with Sang Tianqi.
Sang Tianqi was originally worried that he could not defeat Wu Yue, but after a few moves, he found that although Wu Yue's martial arts were advanced, his fighting skills were very immature. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I thought you were some powerful character, but you are just a fledgling. I asked you to leave before, but you refused. So, stay and be my eighth concubine!"
It turned out that when the two were fighting, the black scarf was frequently blown up by the strong wind, and Sang Tianqi also caught a glimpse of Wu Yue's appearance and became lustful.
However, although Wu Yue's moves were a little messy, she was not panicked, because she knew that with her master there, her life would not be in danger.
Now the master is silent, she must be considering this battle as her training.
Thinking this in his mind, Wu Yue's body movements and sword moves became steady.
Sang Tianqi also discovered that Wu Yue was rapidly becoming stronger, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He swung his sword like a tornado, pressing hard and not giving Wu Yue a chance to breathe.
Suddenly, Wu Yue turned into a residual shadow and narrowly avoided Sang Tianqi's oblique slash. Then he seized the opportunity and used the sword-breaking style of Dugu Nine Swords!
The man was seen rising into the sky like a dragon, while the shadow of his sword was as free as a horse running freely in the sky, leaving no trace. The sword light sprinkled down and actually caused Sang Tianqi's dragon-headed ring knife to fly out of his hand!
Then, Wu Yue’s long sword was like a rainbow piercing the sun, going straight for Sang Tianqi’s neck!
Sang Tianqi is indeed a veteran in this world. At the moment of life and death, seeing that there was no hope of escape, he actually slightly turned sideways and lowered his head, trying to block the sword with his helmet.
At the same time, his left hand, with veins swirling around it, was like an eagle's claw, and he silently grabbed Wu Yue's slender waist!
He is known as the Dragon Sword and Ghost Hand in martial arts world, but his real power is not the big dragon-head ring sword, but the Eagle Claw Kung Fu that he has practiced to perfection!
