Chapter 157: Chapter 129: The Revenge Begins
"Giddy up! Giddy up!"
The tall and robust steed galloped furiously on the official road, its iron hooves trampling the ground and sending out a series of crisp clopping sounds, as the dust it kicked up had just risen when it was already flung far away.
Several agile figures rode on their steeds, charging towards the direction of Sanyang City at breakneck speed.
After a full five days of rest, on the dawn of the sixth day, Zhao Ge, Zhao Qian, Rong Niang, Shou Hou, and Li Yi set out from You Shui Town. They were ready and this time they no longer hid their tracks or skulked around, but openly rode their fine horses along the official road, heading straight for Sanyang City.
Their purpose for this journey was only one, to seek vengeance and wash away their humiliation.
During the nearly six days, both Rong Niang and Shou Hou, nourished by the nutrient liquid, had healed up quite well. Even if they had to take action, it was no big trouble. Master Zhao Ge had also mostly recuperated, though some internal injuries remained, but he was much better than before. The lost qi-blood was also replenished quite a bit, and he seemed a few years younger. Although he had not returned to his peak, he estimated that he still had about sixty to seventy percent of his strength.
As for Li Yi, his change was even more pronounced. He achieved Bone Training to a great level in three days, his tendons, bones, and skin fusing as one, his divine power erupting. Even a Qi Cultivation Expert would have to retreat before him. For the remaining two days, his master Zhao Ge tutored him personally, rectifying the deficiencies in his fighting techniques, and also passed on several capstone moves from the Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall. His combat skills had improved again, which delighted him greatly.
Zhao Qian also underwent significant changes; she had become proficient at using the sniper rifle, even capable of assembling and disassembling it quickly. But in order to seek vengeance, Li Yi also had her perform live-fire training, firing a total of twenty conventional bullets. Despite the pain of parting with ammunition, it was worth it. At the very least, she now knew how to shoot at moving targets and had very high accuracy.
In these six days, even the Eight Treasures Deer seemed to have transformed.
The old deer followed behind Li Yi’s black steed, hopping agilely and quickly, its speed not the slightest bit slow, a stark contrast to its previously withered and old appearance.
It wasn’t just because it had consumed the Golden Nutrient Liquid, but more importantly, every time Li Yi practiced the White Bone Temple Cultivation Skill in his room, the Eight Treasures Deer would draw near him to absorb the cosmic energy. After several nights of recuperation, the Eight Treasures Deer was reborn, though not fully recovered yet, its life was no longer in danger.
"Meng De, your divine power is astonishing, your physique invincible. When you encounter enemies, do not hesitate, take them down immediately. Martial Artists who refine points have not fought against someone like you. One clash, and they will surely suffer. Once you gain the advantage, do not let them escape. If you kill just one Qi Cultivation Expert, our path into Sanyang City will be open," Zhao Ge said while galloping on his horse. His heart surged with emotions, but out of prudence, he couldn’t help but remind Li Yi, fearing that Li Yi’s youthful exuberance would give the enemy an opportunity to turn things around.
"Master, rest assured, whenever I make a move, I will not let the enemy get away," Li Yi replied calmly.
He was not like the villains in television dramas who loved to babble on; his actions were always decisive. The only time he hesitated was when he killed a Blood Refining Warrior named Han Sui in a decrepit temple before, and that was because Rong Niang was taken hostage.
"Good, the deep vengeance for all the blood spilled by Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall members is now entrusted to you, Meng De," Zhao Ge nodded, then looked towards another side: "Rong Niang, as soon as we enter Sanyang City, no matter what happens, stay close to Meng De. He is not a native of Xingzhou and is completely unfamiliar with Sanyang City. You must guide him by his side."
"No problem, Master. Once we’re in Sanyang City, wherever my senior brother goes, I’ll follow," Rong Niang said.
"Shou Hou, protect Zhao Qian well. Her firearms are very important. They are our trump card and backup plan, which we can’t afford to lose," Zhao Ge continued.
"No problem, I will stay by my junior sister’s side and will absolutely not let her lose a single hair," Shou Hou stated confidently, patting his chest.
Zhao Qian touched the sniper rifle behind her back, understanding the heavy responsibility she bore. Brother Yi entrusted her with such a valuable firearm, a sign of his trust in her, so she couldn’t let any mistakes happen during this operation.
After brief instructions.
Zhao Ge said no more, as everything now depended on Meng De. As a master, there was little he could do and he was not much help, especially since his strength was not at its peak. If he were to engage a Martial Artist of the same realm, he would quickly be defeated and fall under the enemy’s control. Therefore, he could only aim to not cause any trouble, and at the same time uphold the position of the head of Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall, to see if he could rally people to their cause.
Sanyang City was very large.
He remembered when he had instructed all the disciples in the martial hall to scatter and escape, hoping that some of them were lucky enough to survive.
If he could succeed in his vengeance and gather the scattered members of the martial hall, they could still accomplish great things.
After about an hour and a half of rushing.
In the distance.
An ancient city, majestic and towering, appeared on the horizon.
"Is that Sanyang City?"
Li Yi had good eyesight. He looked up at the distant city and felt a stir of excitement.
This city would be his first step in establishing himself in the Four Seas and Eight Continents.
He needed to help his master seek revenge and also carve out a territory here. Only then, if the Sky Tipping event happened, would his relatives and friends have a way out.
"Sanyang City is in sight," Zhao Ge said, looking at the familiar city with a mixture of emotions.
In his youth, he practiced boxing, showing talent and gaining fame at an early age. As a middle-aged man, he was already a Qi Cultivation Expert. Then, he entered Sanyang City, where with just his fists, he had built a martial arts hall from scratch—over twenty years had passed in the blink of an eye... until his misfortune in his later years, when he faced calamity, was chased out of the city like a beaten dog, and had been wandering ever since.
