Chapter 238 - 238 14 Secret Maneuvers

Chapter 238: Chapter 14: Secret Maneuvers Chapter 238: Chapter 14: Secret Maneuvers “Wicked woman, where do you think you’re going!”

Shadows flickered as seven or eight skilled warriors of Feiyi Hall converged from three directions, preparing to confront her head-on.

These warriors of Feiyi Hall were no ordinary fighters, their strength greatly surpassing that of the previous assailants attacking Chu Chu. Every one of them possessed Earth-Level Five or higher strength. Although Hu Lengyue had proven strong, she was no match for one of them individually. But when they attacked collectively, the situation was very different.

Seeing the enemy en masse, Hu Lengyue did not dodge but instead roared forward, bursting through seven or eight of them.

Those seven or eight men flew out in different directions, their blood painting a rainbow in the air as they fell.

Someone screamed, “No, she’s a Heavenly-Level master!”

With a loud whoosh, further off, there were soaring calls, and several figures, like hawks soaring in the sky, pounced one after another.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Zhuang Weiran grabbed Feng Yin, skimmed the ground, and unleashed his speed to its maximum. He darted through the bushes like a shooting star, moving so fast he seemed more like a ghost than a man, covering a thousand feet in a flash!

As someone approached, Zhuang Weiran’s senses tingled. He abruptly stopped and swung around, “Who’s there?!”

Without uttering a word, Zhuang Weiran lunged forward.

With a dull thud, the man’s body exploded into a shower of blood under Zhuang Weiran’s attack.

Zhuang Weiran never slowed down, appearing a hundred feet away from the pool of blood, beneath a cliff.

What seemed like clouds fluttered up, and, holding Feng Yin, he sprinted dozens of feet horizontally through the bushes on the cliff. He clung to the shrubs and walked sideways across the cliff face.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Continuing without a break, like an endless flow.

At this point, all Feng Yin could see was a blur, unable to discern any details at all.

On the other hand, Feng Ying was faster than Feng Yin but slower than Zhuang Weiran, allowing it a clearer view of the passing sight.

When they finally stopped, the two humans and one cat found themselves nestled in the branches of a large tree.

This tree was extremely thick and sturdy, standing tall among the mountains. It must have been thousands of years old, with luxuriant foliage.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

Zhuang Weiran gasped heavily, like an old bull, his breaths heavy and rough.

Just then, he had sprinted over four thousand feet, about twelve kilometers, cross-country at top speed in less than a hundred breaths. Along the way, he also encountered a fight. Even as a Heavenly-Level warrior, he was now almost out of breath.

Still, he accomplished Feng Yin’s request, stopping at the thickest and tallest large tree nearby, as instructed by Feng Yin.

As his ragged breath echoed openly, his intention to recover as quickly as possible was clear, but he remained vigilant, scanning his surroundings.

Given his experience, he couldn’t comprehend why Feng Yin chose this large tree as a hiding place and rest stop. It was possibly the most likely target or trap in a mountain chase.

It was a thousand times more dangerous than the low bushes!

But as Feng Yin insisted, Zhuang Weiran had to abide. At the same time, he had a profound faith in his abilities. He had observed the enemy’s great strength, but it’s all relative – at least for him and his wife, it still did not pose a threat.

So far, the highest level of strength shown by the enemy was at Earth Level Four. For him and his wife, at full power, the enemy was a negligible threat.

A chill ran through his palm as a top-quality spirit crystal landed in his hand.

Feng Yin had given it to him.

Zhuang Weiran nearly cried out in surprise at the sudden surge of spiritual power from the spirit crystal: Holy cow, it’s top quality!

The moment he set foot, Feng Yin placed his finger on the tree. After a few breaths, he touched it again. Within these few breaths, Feng Yin had performed two one-sixth Spirit Gatherings.

This act directly hit the tree’s tolerance limit.

The tree trembled slightly. A soft branch dangled down and gently caressed Feng Yin’s hand, expressing its affection and gratitude.

Elsewhere, the sounds of a fierce battle continued unabated.

It was Hu Lengyue still fighting!

Zhuang Weiran watched tensely from a distance, his lips moving silently as if he was muttering something.

Just because the enemy currently posed no threat, it didn’t mean they could never be dangerous. Who knew if the enemy had stronger fighters lurking nearby, hoping to get a fatal hit in when there was an opening? This situation was all too typical on a battlefield and could easily lead to an unforeseen demise.

“Uncle Zhuang, I’m safe here. Go bring Aunt Zhuang back quickly,” Feng Yin urged anxiously.

“No!”

Zhuang Weiran flatly refused.

No matter how much Feng Yin pleaded, urged, or promised, Zhuang Weiran remained adamant. He was not moving an inch away from Feng Yin’s side.

Although his eyes were gradually turning red with anxiety, he stayed next to Feng Yin, unwavering.

Finally…

The sounds of fighting suddenly intensified from the other side, as if battles had broken out in several places.

New forces had joined the battleground.

Zhuang Weiran’s face finally relaxed slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief after holding his breath for quite a while.

“Hoo…”

The Dark Guards had finally sprung into action due to the commotion here.

Just as before, the Dark Guards had purposely revealed themselves to pass them messages.

Now, the sounds of fighting between Hu Lengyue and the Feiyi Hall members had attracted the attention of the Dark Guards’ experts, who had now come to their assistance.

They now knew, that their real target had arrived and was trying to break free!

So, they immediately initiated an active response.

There was no communication between the two sides throughout the process, and there would not be any communication afterwards, but their tacit understanding and coordination was naturally perfect in the hands of these seasoned veterans in the martial world! It went smoothly without a hitch!

After forcing her way through, Hu Lengyue was relieved to see the Dark Guards’ experts come to her aid.

Since engaging in the battle, her main goal of shouting and fighting had been to stir up the Dark Guards’ experts to assist her, causing chaos to create an opportunity for her escape later.

It was also to create an opportunity for her husband from the Other Side and Feng Yin to pass the checkpoint. This was why, from the beginning of the fight, she had exhibited her astonishing martial arts skills and strength, always maintaining a dominant posture, so as not to drain too much of her energy.

She swept her palms like knifes, cutting and slashing. The two black-clothed men from Feiyi Hall who faced her were directly hit by her, spat out blood, staggered backward, their eyes full of fear.

Who was this woman, and why was she so fierce?!

In fact, not only the members of the Feiyi Hall were astonished, but the rescuing Dark Guards’ experts were also perplexed. They too had the thoughts, wondering who this fiercely impressive woman was!

Such strength, she probably matches up to a banner leader of the Heavenly Clothes in the Rainbow faction, isn’t it?

Suddenly, the sound of swooshing in the air intensified, a black-clothed man descended from the sky, even before landing, sword light like rain already poured down.

“Hoping to get past?”

The man’s voice was very cold, filled with killing intent.

“Just fight, why all the nonsense?!”

Hu Lengyue snorted coldly, charging towards the heavens, intersecting her palms to counter the incoming opponent.

The suddenly burst of strong palm strength seemed like raging waves in the air. The three Feiyi Hall experts fighting together around her were forced back by the blast of air and could not approach.

“Good, straightforward! I like this kind of enemy!”

The black-clothed man who had descended from the sky let out a loud laugh, somersaulting in mid-air, dodging Hu Lengyue’s fierce palm strength. The long sword that was originally crashing down on her was pushed and turned by an invisible force, bouncing up and transformed into a dragon-shaped sword light that swooped down again.

Hu Lengyue narrowed her eyes. She knew that she had met a formidable opponent.

None other than in martial arts, this person was far above his peers, at least of the Earth Level Third Rank status, and his battle techniques were highly skilled.

After she had just freed herself from restraints, and had regained her original strength, her own grasp on her actual strength was hard to express up to her regular level due to the long, long gap. Previously, she had been relying more on her powerful strength and martial arts to forcefully push her opponents, overpowering them. Now, to face this opponent whose skill and tactics were equally fine, if she continued using the previous way of fighting, she would inevitably give the opponent an opportunity.

However, the real difference between their strengths was still massive. Hu Lengyue swept her eyes rapidly, abruptly stopped her advancement, her fingers flashing continuously among the falling sword lights, hitting the spine of the sword accurately three times within the dense curtain of sword rain.

With three crisp sounds, the attacking sword light broke into pieces, shaking and tilting, falling into disorder.

The man in black looked shocked, feeling a sour pain in his wrist, and found it hard to hold onto the long sword.

Hu Lengyue himself, however, sighed inwardly. Indeed, she had regressed. If this had been before, she would only need to touch the sword once, and even if she couldn’t directly break the opponent’s long sword, she should still be able to use her profound skills to injure them through the sword.

Now, after tapping it three times, she could only scatter the incoming sword light. This was much worse than before, and she would have to rebuild her synergy to truly regain her previous strength!

The black-clothed man was hit with three successive strikes. Not only was his sword light shattered, but his arm was also affected. He retreated hastily to create distance and in an severe voice, asked, “Sky Hawk Strike Water? Who are you?!”

Hu Lengyue didn’t have any intention to answer, she gave a cold laugh, darted forward at a faster speed than before and entered the continuous sword lights of the other side, withdrew after lightly touching the figure with her palm.

Bang!

The black-clothed man grunted, one hand covering his chest, his feet exploding with strength, flying backward briskly at an extremely fast speed.

While retreating quickly, his long sword was still swinging nonstop, weaving a band of light in front of him as he retreated.

Boom, boom boom…

By the time he stood still again, the sword light had collided with chasing palm wind for eight times, making eight muffled sounds!

Just now, the palm Hu Lengyue hit and withdrew contained nine consecutive forces hidden inside.

But the black-clothed man was quick in response. Except for the initial hit that put him at a disadvantage, he detected the other eight forces early and swung his sword to block them.

Although he blocked it, the pressure caused by the stabbing of the nine forces had turned his face pale with shock, panting heavily with a look of horror.

The heavy gasping sound lingered for a long time. Looking at the back of Hu Lengyue, who had forcefully broken through and left, he shouted in a severe voice, “Raging Waves Nine Stacks! Are you from the East Sea?!”
