Chapter 254
An Unlikely Alliance
A series of bone crunching and gurgles began as soon as the es of an old ure over two meters tall
The Heavenly Marshal of the North
That's Zhu Bajie
GreatNow he had to find a way to sneak past a deainHe focused harder and heard Lin Youfa panting for breathSeconds later, those pants turned into a series of low chucklesAnother few seconds later, the sound of feet shuffling could be heard over those chuckles
”What do we do now, shījiě? Are we gonna fight him?” whispered a man fro parted the twigs in front of his face and tried to peek through the thick foliageHe saw the woman firstTwo men flanked the woman on both sides while another man stood somewhere behind the woman, as clearly the leader of the squad
A four- couldn't see Lin Youfa from his position on the treeNot that he had to see Lin Youfa to have a rough idea of where thethe wo scanned the area surrounding the wo attention to the direction that the woAlas, e hanging above the area
He had to find a new spot to hide, at least one that would give hi up the trail
”What's the an searching for a new hiding place”Are you frightened of h”Co half-expected the fighting to begin right then, but surprisingly, it didn't
”Shījiě”
”The art of Shenda, I see,” said the womanA hint of wariness colored her tone”So you're from the Divine Fist School”
”Oh? You've heard of my school?” Lin Youfa cackled”You? Someone fro spotted another tree—a shorter one—nearbyHowever, just when he was about to start round and scanned the area once again
He had to be extremely careful here, since Tall Dude and Short Dude were nowhere in sight
Those twoso turned his head and glanced at his backpack
Hey buddy, Li Yundong said through the telepathic connection he shared with Fan of Seven TreasuresNo matter what happens later, don't show yourself, okay? I can handle this
His backpack vibrated a second later
GoodIt was best if he kept the Fan of Seven Treasures hidden unless he had no choice
”The Divine Fist School is not part of the Great Six's assault force,” said the woman, her voice eerily cal”
Li Yundong got out of his hiding place and floated quietly towards the other treeHe heard another noise: the popping of joints and the cracking of knuckles
”Hah! Are you all here to fight?” said Lin Youfa”Or are you just going to keep yapping?”
Li Yundong suppressed a snortCouldn't the guy see that they were just stalling to let the effects of Shenda wear off? Lin YoufaWhat a fool
Li Yundong ot quickly got settled on a thick branch and returned to watching the sceneIndeed, he had picked the right hiding place this timeHe could see the whole area now, and he quickly noted that he'd been right in his guess about Lin Youfa's position
Lin Youfa's Hulk-like figure stood directly in the woht
There was loud roar
Lin Youfa suddenly barreled towards the woman
ZING!
Swords were drawn in an instantThe woman and her three subordinates leaped out of Lin Youfa's wayLi Yundong found hi for potential weaknesses that he could exploit just in case he had no choice but to confront Lin Youfa later
It didn't take long for Li Yundong to find oneAlthough Shenda had given Lin Youfa a th, it also hter could easily avoid those heavy blows and wait around until Lin Youfa could no longer maintain Shenda's effect
A new voice sounded amidst the scuffle
”Fear not, my fellow comrades froon Sect, have colanced down and saw Short Dude stepping out fro a fly-whisk in his handLi Yundong found hi could be used as a weapon
Another figure eed from behind the sahua Sect!” said Tall Dude as he drew his long sword fro could see the confidence returning to the woe at the arrival of her allies
”Look who's here! Our allies froly”Come join us, ether, we shall get rid of this foul creature!”
The rest of the patrol squad cheered
”Very well!” Tall Dude yelled
A second later, Short Dude and Tall Dude leaped forward and landed somewhere behind Lin YoufaMeanwhile, the rest of the patrol squad began to spread out their formation
In a matter of seconds, Lin Youfa was surrounded by six opponents
Li Yundong turned away froive a flying daet past these people and be on his way
Unfortunately, there was no clear path leading fro place to the trailHe was stuck on this tree for now
Lin Youfa's roaring laughter drifted froainThe wo slowly towards Lin Youfa, as still laughing his head offDespite their nunificant the Divine Fist School was), the htened of Lin Youfa
All of a sudden, Lin Youfa stopped laughing and dropped into a low crouch
His six opponents froze instantly
”There are six of you, yet you're all acting like a bunch of scaredy-cats!” Lin Youfa released a h”Cowards! You're all just cowards!” Lin Youfa swung his right arm in a full circle
His six opponents leaped away in fright
Li Yundong took a deep breath and analyzed his current situationThesht in
At this rate, thisdidn't have ti for the battle to end was definitely a no go
In that case, he was left with two options: 1) move in and take them all out himself; 2) sneak ahen everyone was too distracted by the battle
The first option was definitely the most practicalIt also jibed with Zi Yuan's advice to take out as many enemies as he couldThe only problem with that was that he hadn't made it into the Fox Zen School yet
Those six Cultivators were all agents of the Great SixIt was true that Tall Dude and Short Dude didn't recognize him, but what if one of the menal to their superiors the moment he attacked? The Great Six would then be aware of his presence; he would lose the ele out below as the battle continuedThe co couldn't find clear path to move towards the trailThe tree shook as Lin Youfa's fist slaroundOne of the woround and then rolled into a crouch
”Is that all you've got?” Lin Youfa taunted”Since when did the Great Six allow such weaklings to join their ranks?”
”Watch yourher sword”Who are you calling weak?!”
The sword pierced through Lin Youfa's right forearet
The woasped the hilt and tried to yank the sword back, but for some reason, the sword remained stuck inside Lin Youfa's forearm
”Hyah!!” Lin Youfa's left fist fleards the woman's face

Lin Youfa raised the worade sword,” he said in a sneering tone”Not even worth using”
He snapped the blade in half and tossed the pieces aside
The woman shrieked”My sword! How dare you!”
The wo knew right then that she was about to meet her end
Oh, Godda winced when Lin Youfa's palm slath that it nearly bashed the woht into her thoracic cavity
