King of Hundred Victories Saber-Chapter 422 - 161: Amid the Witchcraft Mist: Shi Feiyang Turns the Tide to Protect the Beauty
His eyes gleamed with a fierce determination, calculating a deadly conspiracy.
Xie Zhichuan let out a cold laugh, a laugh that was particularly sinister in the fog. His eyes glimmered with a venomous light as he said, "I reckon we ought to set numerous traps for them in Bozhou. Isn’t Shi Feiyang too confident in his martial arts skills and extensive connections? We’ll gradually strip him of his support, leaving him isolated and helpless. The people we sent before were either uncovered by him or defeated disastrously. This time, we must make him taste our power!" The corners of his mouth curled into a cruel smile.
Zhong Renwang nodded slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, and said, "Indeed, let’s contact the Jianghu Gangs in Bozhou and offer them rich rewards to join us. We’ll set an ambush on their inevitable path and catch them off guard. Hmph, Shi Feiyang, this time I will make sure you can’t return!" As he spoke, he fiercely drew a line on the ground, as if he was engraving Shi Feiyang’s name there, then smashing it to pieces.
Tang Zihan continued, "We can set up troops in a perilous spot, and once they enter the encirclement, we’ll trap them like turtles in a jar. Last time on the Yangtze River, our plan was thwarted by him. This time, we must succeed!"
His eyes were filled with anticipation, as if he could already see the miserable plight of Shi Feiyang and his men trapped within the encirclement.
Ding Hong added, "Let’s arrange some mechanisms and hidden weapons along the way to catch them off guard. Isn’t Shi Feiyang agile with his Body Technique? We’ll use these hidden weapons to limit his movements, making escape impossible for him!"
As he spoke, he gestured to place the hidden weapons, his face displaying a sinister smile.
Zhong Renwang gritted his teeth and said, "This time, Shi Feiyang is certainly going to be trapped here! He’s ruined my plans and left me humiliated time and again. I want him to know the consequences of offending me, Zhong Renwang!"
The crowd exchanged glances, all displaying sinister smiles, which looked even more hideous under the mist’s reflection.
In the thick fog, a new conspiracy is brewing silently, like the somber, oppressive storm clouds before a tempest, about to stir up a bloody tempest.
The mid-autumn Miaojiang seems like a breathtaking masterpiece meticulously carved by nature, imbued with a mysterious aura at every corner.
The azure sky is as clear as an unfathomably deep gemstone, with white clouds drifting leisurely, resembling fluffy cotton candy. They harmoniously contrast with the layered, undulating mountains in the distance, forming a magnificent and beautiful sight.
The sunlight gently spills down, cloaking the Miaojiang land in a dreamlike golden veil, while the breeze carries the fresh, fragrant scent of the forest through the air, leaving one utterly intoxicated.
However, beneath this picturesque scenery, a tense and mysterious atmosphere spreads quietly, foretelling a myriad of challenges to come.
After Shi Feiyang’s contingent entered Miaojiang,
the Heroic Sakura Association Miaojiang branch disciples hurriedly brought urgent news: the Miaojiang girl Bai Zhi had trapped the Imperial Court’s vanguard using witchcraft.
Shi Feiyang’s expression turned grave, knowing well the complexity of this matter. After a brief contemplation, he decisively ordered Wu Zhong, the "Iron Palm," to lead the main force to camp in a hidden mountain forest to guard against unexpected events. Meanwhile, he, along with the "Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen, Qi Meizhen, and the Little Scholar Shi Xiong, resolutely headed toward the heart of Miaojiang to uncover the truth.
They proceeded along the winding mountain road, with thick and dense jungles flanking both sides. The towering trees covered the sky, their branches and leaves intertwined, and the ground was carpeted with thick layers of fallen leaves, rustling softly underfoot, as if whispering the stories of passing time.
A moist aroma pervaded the air, mixed with a faint scent of decaying leaves. Occasional cries from unknown insects broke the silence of the forest, adding to the mysterious ambiance.
During the journey, they suddenly encountered a dense fog ahead, enveloping everything like a white curtain, obscuring their vision.
As a traverser, Shi Feiyang naturally recognized it as a venomous fog, and the dragon-shaped gemstone on the ring of his left middle finger emitted a golden light.
However, Shi Feiyang remained calm; he was not afraid of poison, immune to all poisons. But by his side were Qi Meizhen, Xie Wen, and Shi Xiong. So, Shi Feiyang took a deep breath, his aura changing abruptly. A heated blade intent surged and spread out like an invisible sharp blade, sweeping toward the poisonous fog, quickly dissipating it.
As they continued their advance, they came to a valley. The valley’s sides rose steeply, as if cleaved by a giant axe. Suddenly, sharp screeches echoed from above as a swarm of giant, bat-like insects dove down. These insects were massive, their wings glinting with eerie light, their mouths emitting nerve-wracking squeals.
Shi Feiyang swiftly drew his blade, the light flashing, and the sharp blade wind slashed down the insects. Qi Meizhen feigned a frightened scream, snuggling tightly into Shi Feiyang’s embrace, her eyes hiding a sweetness, the scream carrying a candy-like sweetness.
Shi Feiyang, while protecting the others, reassured them softly, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here." Qi Meizhen nodded slightly, burying her head deeper. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Xie Wen, utilizing the "Feixu Qingyan Technique," swiftly flew like a waft of smoke to Shi Xiong’s side, picked him up effortlessly, weaving skillfully through the swarm of insects to avoid their attacks. After evading the insects, they hadn’t traveled far when the ground ahead collapsed, revealing a massive sinkhole.
The bottom of the pit was shrouded in green mist, emitting a pungent odor, clearly indicating another venomous fog. Shi Feiyang crouched down for a closer look.
At this moment, a few giant lizards covered in green scales crawled out of the pit.
The giant lizards were massive, standing over twice a man’s height, their tongues flicking in and out of their mouths, their eyes ferocious.
Shi Feiyang stood up, holding his blade, and approached the giant lizards.
