King of Hundred Victories Saber-Chapter 552 - 188: The Curious Case of Listening to Rain Amid Broken Lotus, When Clouds Rise and Sword Shadows Chill (Part 2)
The three top experts saw this, and were secretly anxious in their hearts.
They exchanged glances, then tacitly joined forces. Three different martial arts powers merged and fully attacked the Gu worms.
Under their combined attack, the offensive of the Gu worms was finally curbed and gradually eliminated.
Once everything calmed down, Kang Fusheng and others began to take a headcount. Originally, they led more than ten thousand Jinyi Guards, but now they lay scattered all over the ground. Upon closer inspection, they were shocked to find that over seven thousand had turned into piles of white bones.
These white bones still bore the marks of being gnawed by the Gu worms, appearing particularly eerie and terrifying.
The scene was filled with a strong smell of blood and a stench of decay, almost suffocating.
And the few remaining disciples of the Heroic Sakura Association took advantage of the chaos caused by the Gu worms attacking the Jinyi Guards to flee.
Their figures swiftly disappeared in the chaos, leaving only the three top experts of the Capital and a group of terrified Jinyi Guards facing this horrific graveyard.
Zhong Renwang and Ding Hong were so frightened their faces turned pale, their legs wobbly. At this moment, there was no trace of the dignity of a Beggar Gang Leader or Elder, as they fled desperately like defeated dogs, tumbling away in panic.
Meanwhile, the Beggar Gang Elder Wu Kui was not so lucky, as he was instantly engulfed by the terrifying Blood Gu.
The Blood Gu frantically gnawed at his body, and he let out shrill screams that reverberated in the deathly silent air, sending chills down the spine.
But in the blink of an eye, Wu Kui was silent, leaving only a pile of remains, a stark reminder of the brutal scene that just unfolded.
Mid-Autumn in Bozhou, the cold wind howled like a roaring beast, sweeping the land recklessly.
The sky was so overcast it seemed like a heavy lead plate weighing down, making it hard to breathe. Withered yellow leaves shivered in the wind, falling one by one.
In front of the Corpse-Driving Inn, the stench of blood lingered, mixing with the bleak autumn atmosphere, adding to the touch of sadness.
Inside the Corpse-Driving Inn, Shi Feiyang, Yili, and Bai Zhi led the heroes in a desperate battle against the Five Poison Sect disciples.
Shi Feiyang wielded the Celestial Frost Blade, the blade light flickering, cold air spreading, and wherever it went, the Five Poison Sect disciples fell one after another.
Yili’s swordsmanship was fierce, her figure nimble, and as the long sword passed, a spray of blood followed.
Bai Zhi displayed her exquisite witchcraft, escorting the heroes of the Heroic Sakura Association.
They fought valiantly, killing countless Five Poison Sect disciples, bodies scattered everywhere.
However, just then, a messenger pigeon flapped its wings, flying in swiftly, bringing the bad news of Flying Tiger Pass.
The flying pigeon message from the Heroic Sakura Association disciples revealed to the heroes that the three top experts of the Capital led a raid on Flying Tiger Pass.
The crowd opened the letter, and upon seeing its contents, their eyes widened in anger, a fiery rage burning in their hearts.
Shi Feiyang, Yili, Bai Zhi, and the heroes were filled with anxiety and immediately rushed back to Flying Tiger Pass.
Along the way, the autumn wind howled, making their clothes flap loudly, but it couldn’t extinguish the fire of anger in their hearts.
Approaching Flying Tiger Pass, they encountered a group of fleeing Heroic Sakura Association disciples.
From the disciples’ mouths, they learned that Gong Simeng and others had already escaped from Flying Tiger Pass.
The heroes dared not delay, hurriedly spurring their horses to chase Gong Simeng’s horse team.
The sound of hoofbeats shattered the quietness of the autumn day, stirring up a cloud of dust.
About thirty miles south of Flying Tiger Pass, they finally caught up with Gong Simeng’s horse team.
When they met, sadness overwhelmed them, and tears burst forth like beads from a broken string, rolling down their faces.
Shi Feiyang, eyes red with anger, roared, "What is the principle of our Heroic Sakura Association?"
The heroes and disciples of the Heroic Sakura Association raised their arms and shouted in unison, "Gratitude must be repaid! Vengeance must be exacted! Sworn enemies must be settled!"
The sounds echoed through the heavens, resonating long in the earth and sky, as if trying to break through the oppressive skies.
"Iron Palm" Wu Zhong, full of anxiety, turned to look at his wife "Mandarin Duck Saber" Xiao Lingling, asking with concern, "Lingling, are you alright? It was so dangerous just now, I was worried about you."
Xiao Lingling’s eyes flashed with a touch of emotion, she gently shook her head, and said, "I’m fine, how about you? Are you hurt?"
Wu Zhong patted his chest and said, "My Iron Palm is not to be underestimated, those enemies couldn’t harm me. As long as you’re safe, that’s all that matters."
"Iron Flute Scholar" Xiang Kun, "Divine Archer" Miao Menlong, and "Plum Blossom Dart" Shan Zhi gathered around Heroic Sakura Association Elders Liao Pei and Lie Quan, full of concern. Xiang Kun asked softly, "Elder Liao, Elder Lie, how are your injuries?"
Liao Pei, pale-faced, forced a smile and said, "Don’t worry, it won’t kill me. Luckily, you arrived in time."
Miao Menlong frowned and said, "No, you need to find a place to properly treat these injuries, they can’t be delayed."
Shan Zhi chimed in, agreeing, "Yes, you must recuperate properly, we still need to settle accounts with those Jinyi Guards!"
Shi Feiyang quickly walked to his beloved wives Gong Simeng and Qi Meizhen, his eyes full of concern, and softly said, "Si Meng, Meizhen, you were frightened. Are you hurt? Are the children okay?"
Gong Simeng, teary-eyed, shook her head and said, "We’re fine, just worried about you."
Qi Meizhen also said, "Yes, seeing you safe, we are relieved."
Yili, seeing Qi Meizhen and Gong Simeng looking exhausted and worried, approached them and gently advised, "Si Meng, Meizhen, don’t worry too much, now that your husband is back, everything will be okay."
Gong Simeng looked gratefully at Yili and said, "Thank you, Yili. We owe it to you and everyone else." Qi Meizhen also nodded and said, "Yes, we’re family now, we need to face difficulties together."
