King of Hundred Victories Saber-Chapter 591 - 195: Fright at Lady Pass: Cloud Patterns Amid Sword Shadows and Poisonous Mists (Part 5)
Beside him, the four ladies Gong Simeng, Bai Zhi, Qi Meizhen, and Yili displayed heroic vigor, riding their steeds with graceful agility, their eyes full of determination and confidence.
Shi Feiyang frequently turned his head to look at the four ladies, eyes filled with concern and worry: "The journey to Lady Pass is fraught with peril, you must be cautious at all times. If danger arises, don’t act recklessly; I will surely protect you completely."
The four ladies exchanged smiles, their gazes full of deep affection and trust towards Shi Feiyang. Gong Simeng softly replied, "Husband, you be careful too. We will take good care of ourselves and support you as well."
The other three ladies nodded in agreement.
On this cold winter day, their words were like warm sunshine, dispelling the chill in everyone’s hearts, strengthening their resolve to move forward. Just as they stepped into Lady Pass canyon, a chilling, eerie breeze swept over them.
That breeze felt like an invisible, cold, sticky hand suddenly gripping their hearts tightly, making their hair stand on end.
Looking up, the sky above was completely obscured by towering peaks on either side, as if chopped and carved by an ax, steep and dangerous, with barely any sunlight penetrating through, making the canyon increasingly dim, as if plunging into an endless abyss of darkness, enveloped by thick dark shadows.
Suddenly, a deep and thunderous roar rolled in from the depths of the canyon, sounding like thousands of galloping horses charging across a vast prairie, iron hooves shaking the earth, akin to a powerful thunderclap that could move mountains, carrying a force as if to destroy heaven and earth, causing ears to ache, seemingly at risk of being torn apart by this overwhelming noise at any moment.
Shi Feiyang’s face suddenly changed, his eyes flashing with a moment of panic but quickly steadying, shouting decisively: "Be careful, there’s an ambush!" No sooner had he spoken than countless massive boulders rained down from the cliffs on both sides of the canyon.
Each of these massive boulders was gigantic, like mountains falling from the sky, their surfaces glimmering with a strange dark green light, appearing especially terrifying in the dim canyon, clearly having been meticulously coated with poisonous oil.
Amidst the sharp, ghostly wails of the cold wind, the whistling of the falling boulders, and the thudding collisions on the ground and cliff walls, intertwined to form a terrifying symphony of death, seemingly crushing everyone’s will completely.
Meanwhile, seventy-two shadows flashed like ghosts from the darkness; they were none other than the dreaded Sword Puppets of the Five Poison Sect.
Clad in black cloaks, they blended seamlessly with the darkness, like silent phantoms wandering in the night, their long swords exuding a ghostly blue chill, biting and icy, like demon swords from hell, carrying an endless aura of death.
With a sharp, eerie whistle akin to the cry of a night bird echoing, the Sword Puppets uniformly wielded their long swords, performing the hair-raising "Eroding Bone Sword Mist."
In an instant, dark green poisonous mist surged like a tide, spreading with a force capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas.
Wherever it reached, vegetation withered instantly, green leaves quickly yellowing, curling, life severed, the air filled with a nauseating stench of decay, the world shrouded in this poisonous mist, plunging into a despair-filled abyss, life fragile like a flickering candle in the wind before this toxin.
However, in the face of such perilous and eerie attacks, Shi Feiyang and the heroes did not show a trace of fear.
Gong Simeng’s beautiful eyes widened, filled with resolve, she was the first to draw her Serpent Whip, which in her hand was like a living, agile creature, snapping straight with a swish.
She shouted crisply: "Sisters, follow me to kill!" Her voice bright and clear, yet carrying a fearless heroism.
Her movements were light, her speed extremely fast, barely touching the ground with her feet, she darted towards the Sword Puppets like an arrow, her hair dancing wildly in the wind.
Bai Zhi, not wanting to be outdone, swiftly formed hand seals with her hands, chanting incantations to summon a swarm of multicolored venomous creatures.
These creatures varied in shape, including vividly colored venomous moths flapping their wings with buzzing sounds; and venomous scorpions covered in spikes, their tails raised high, flashing cold light. They charged at the Sword Puppets like well-trained soldiers, attempting to disrupt their formation, causing momentary chaos among the Sword Puppets.
Qi Meizhen wielded her Dual Blades, their light gleaming, the blades flying swiftly up and down in her hands, like two silver dragons, working in tandem with Gong Simeng, creating a perfect combination of whip and blades.
In an instant, they fought the Sword Puppets to a stalemate, blades and shadows clashing, the sounds of battle cries and weapons colliding echoed incessantly. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Yili stood at the rear, her posture upright, channeling her Inner Strength, her aura circulating, providing support for her three sisters.
Her gaze was firm, constantly observing the battlefield, her beautiful eyes shimmering with wisdom, like a calm commander ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at a critical moment.
Seeing this, Shi Feiyang felt pride in the bravery of the four ladies, his chest surged with a fiery emotion, yet he worried about their safety, his brows unconsciously furrowing. He wielded the Celestial Frost Blade, its blade shining with a cold light, surrounded by a jade-colored aura, soft yet containing immense power, charging towards the boulders and Sword Puppets.
With each swing, a fierce blade wind was raised, lifting the snow into the air, shattering rocks one after another.
Shi Feiyang quickly circulated Bright Jade Technique, a faint jade-colored aura rising around him, isolating the poisonous mist outside.
He shouted loudly: "Everyone, beware of the poisonous mist, do not panic!"
His voice echoed through the canyon, injecting courage into everyone.
The heroes displayed their own Martial Arts, resisting the attacks of the boulders and the poisonous mist.
Liao Pei of the "Long Arm Fist" bulged his arm muscles, swinging his arms, each punch carrying tremendous force, shattering the approaching boulders one by one, sending shattered rocks flying.
Lie Quan, wielding the "Heaven and Earth Saber," moved with agility, his saber flashing, striking towards the Sword Puppets, each slash filled with great power, saber aura crisscrossing.
At this moment, an idea struck Bai Zhi, and she took out several silver needles from her bosom. She channeled her Inner Strength fully, lightly flicking her wrist, sending the silver needles shooting into the sky.
The silver needles danced through the clouds, flickering with faint light, instantly invoking lightning.
A dazzling lightning bolt slashed through the sky, like a golden giant dragon carrying destructive power, accompanied by deafening thunder, precisely splitting open the poisonous smog.
The poisonous mist struck by the lightning scattered instantly, the foul stench lingering in the air also dissipated significantly.
