Volume 5, Chapter 17: A Slim Chance of Survival (1/2)

Volume 5, Chapter 17: A Slixiao had been prepared to react for sonificant loss of face if he were to act as soon as I spoke As a result, he stood there cal to clearly see which direction the attack would come from If it ca</e Zhe’s death At thisZhe alive It was best that this kind of individual met an early death

As the sound of uards and half a step away froures erupted forth froures kept xiao felt a chill run up his spine and unwittingly retreated half a step Hoas this possible? At such a close distance, how did he fail to discover someone’s concealed presence? After the dust had cleared, Duan Lingxiao was finally able to clearly discern the two figures’ appearances They were two Buddhist monks about thirty-five or thirty-six years old The two e appearances However, they wore deterxiao snorted, “So it’s monks from the Shaolin Temple”

At thisout as I explained, “Great Master Upright Dharhteen Arhats froo, after the battle with the Fengyi Sect Master, only a portion of the Eighteen Arhats returned alive After surviving that battle, the two Great Masters dedicated themselves to Zen cultivation Buddhistthe practitioner’s breathing That is how elder young master was hoodwinked However, there is no need for elder young master to worry The two Great Masters concede that they are not Sire’s match As a result, I have invited other experts as reinforce fortunate enough to survive that duel to the death with the Fengyi Sect Master, these two monks were already difficult to deal with Who would have thought that Jiang Zhe would have so many concealed experts by his side?

At this moment, he heard a steady voice speak up fro, payszhenzi¹ of Eover a led his body and looked at the two individuals behind him From the horizon, he watched two individuals walk over unhurriedly One of them was a Daoist priest in azure robes His appearance bold and powerful, he walked with steady vigor and footsteps His hands were empty

The other was a female Buddhist nun in black robes Her beautiful appearance carried an indifferent expression on her face In her hand she held a horsetail whisk Duan Lingxiao could not help heaving a sigh Who would have thought that Jiang Zhe would go to such lengths to ensure victory?

Hiding behind Upright Dhar Dhar upward hearing Duan Lingxiao sigh However, I quickly exercised restraint I had carefully selected these four after long deliberation For this invasion of Qinzhou, in order to defend against the disciples of the Devil Sect, the Prince of Qi had long ago sub the assistance of experts frohu The top experts of each sect were in secluded cultivation This in itself was not surprising Once one’s martial arts reached a certain threshold, the tests of the battlefield were no longer of any help to their cultivation The experts who re’s military were not the best martial artists In addition, several experts ithin the imperial palace As a result, I had specifically asked the ehu experts to await instructions within the army Of course, this matter was done secretly After all, the identity of these experts were the most confidential of military secrets

The Shaolin Temple had dispatched the most experts Of the twelve survivors of that battle, six came In addition, there were enerations

Because of their previous support of the crown prince, the Kongtong Sect didn’t receive any benefits though Zhang Jinxiong’s return to the right path ensured they were not i Sect hadJinxiong, to lead twelve elite disciples to join the ar Sect, because of his experiences, he had grown disillusioned with the mundane world and become a Daoist priest His martial arts had advanced leaps and bounds, and he had learned several of the Kongtong Sect’s secret, finest techniques At present, although his cultivation was still a step away from the Xiantian realm, his martial arts had exceeded the level of top-quality experts

The Ezhenzi was the leading expert of the sect Although she was over forty years old, she looked no more than twenty years old Her cultivation of Emei’s Chaotic Cloak Technique had reached the point of perfection Her hout the world

In the letter I had sent to the Prince of Qi, I had him deliver experts beforehand and had these experts arrive at this location ahead of tixiao to be ambushed Of course, I was also prepared for the possibility that Duan Lingxiao would not co, there was at least a sixty percent chance that I would be able to xiao As expected, he had ultih none of the four experts had reached the through (this was Xiaoshunzi’s judgexiao had no way of escape¹

Pleased withto swear an oath to never har?”

A look of understanding appeared in Duan Lingxiao’s abyss-deep eyes He replied, “There is a time for life and a place to die This place is as beautiful and secluded as a paradise Even if I died here, I would have no co, this one ad his words, I found htful A matter I had overlooked suddenly surfaced in xiao because hisof hoould likely have drowned if Su Qing couldn’t have escaped, I had becoxiao’s existence His ements, wouldn’t defeat be snatched from the jaws of victory? That hy I risked my own life to lure hioal neared success, I thought of another ht about the threat this otten that he was the chief disciple of the Devil Sect If he died here, then Jing Wuji would have a reason to personally act Wouldn’t this xiao did not die, Jing Wuji would not act freely unless we directly attacked Jinyang As a result, Duan Lingxiao could not die here and also could not be captured alive He must be seriously injured and allowed to escape Only this course of action would be of benefit to the Yong arxiao had already acted, his figure pouncing directly towards where I was standing, almost as if he wanted to killDharht formation to welcome his attacks Before they had co happened to the Marquis of Chu, everyone would suffer The tere already apprehensive when they aiting in the dug holes and listening to the conversation between Jiang Zhe and Duan Lingxiao, terrified that soh they knew that Jiang Zhe wore a set of armor underneath his robes and were also prepared to block Duan Lingxiao’s attack, the two of theht no could they allow Duan Lingxiao to succeed?

Just as the two of theies collided Faster than he had advanced, Duan Lingxiao retreated He so to escape At this xiao, Xiaoshunzi, did not intervene Instead, he rushed to xiao was about to escape the trap, three red lights flashed through the air, blocking Duan Lingxiao’s departure Duan Lingxiao flung his hand out, creating a gale The red lights penetrated through the gale that he had created before slowly falling to the ground Even so, Duan Lingxiao slowed and was surrounded by the four hts were blood caltrops Zhang Jinxiong had shot out using Kongtong Sect’s secret techniques and were extre the aura of a that his only opportunity to escape had been lost, Duan Lingxiao’s face beca resolutely and steadily, he concentrated upon receiving the enexiao admittedly had superior o trained to work together Upright Dhar it fully, they practically assuxiao’s attacks Zhang Jinxiong’s martial arts were a bit skewed, vicious and ruthless to the extrezhenzi, the techniques she cultivated weresoftness to defeat hardness She was not i</exiao wanted to escape, he would have to face her all pervasive offensive With the four of theh, Duan Lingxiao lived up to his reputation as the chief disciple of the Devil Sect and was able to cope, revealing no signs of defeat At the same time, however, it wasn’t that easy if he wanted to escape Further, there was also Xiaoshunzi waiting in the wings

Staying at my side to protect me, Xiaoshunzi watched the fierce battle However, he did not intervene First, he orried about xiao’s weaknesses, hoping to defeat him in one strike It was i slightly, I pondered how to handle the current situation

By thisover twenty Stalwart Tiger Guard Delivering six severed heads, Huyan Shou loudly pronounced, “Reporting to xiao have already been beheaded martial arts and should be disciples of the Devil Sect However, three of our htly Alas, when Duan Lingxiao had infiltrated the ha him had already been discovered by the sentries that I had secretly positioned As a result, when Duan Lingxiao had killed uise, I had already learned that he had couards, as I was powerless to do anything to prevent their deaths at a young age at the hands of the ene these heads to serve as sacrifices to the departed souls of our warriors”

Understanding my intentions, Huyan Shou did not rise and replied, “All of us had long known of daren</eers There are no regrets even if we lose our lives Daren, please do not bla deeply at Huyan Shou, I asked, “If I had no alternative but to allow this o, would you still continue to not hate h Huyan Shou was startled, he quickly answered, “Daren would only coeneral and company will definitely not have any co her gaze at Huyan Shou with shi+ning eyes Her expression was so at her, she spoke, “hted and brilliant There is definitely a profound reason for this decision Su Qing supports any decision that daren makes”

With this, I finally set aside ht with hi the six of theh compensation for the losses we suffered Withdraw for now”
