Lu Chenzhou took the tokens and said,
"This place gave us three tokens at once, it seems that the difficulty here is far beyond the previous levels... Let’s leave first, I’m worried the enemy might follow the noise. We just went through a fierce battle, and our physical strength is depleted; we need to recuperate in time."
After they defeated the Gatekeeper, the doors of the Mountain God Temple opened automatically.
Chen Xiaoyun nodded, stepping forward, only to encounter a sharp sword light slashing through the moonlit night from outside. She quickly blocked it with her long whip, but a Dark Force burst forth from the sword blade, emitting a sharp and lingering crack. She was sent flying by the impact.
"Chenzhou, there’s an ambush outside!"
Chen Xiaoyun flipped and flew to a distance, beads of sweat forming on her forehead as she saw three figures standing aside the Mountain God Temple. The leader, a graceful figure wearing a blue Daoist robe styled training clothes, with her hair in a mixed yuan bun adorned with a jade hairpin, had her right hand executing the Soaring Cloud Sword Formation and her left performing the Level Heaven Sword Formation, resembling a chilly Sword Immortal from Chang Palace.
Chen Xiaoyun’s expression turned ugly as she muttered in a low voice,
The class leader of Class 3, Huangshan.
This person had a Top Class root bone and good comprehension; she was only 17 but already possessed the peak Ninth Rank strength, skilled in "Green and White Double Snake Sword" from Huangshan lineage.
This First Class Martial Arts originated from Huangshan Martial Arts University, created by a predecessor who drew the essence of Elephant Form Fist and developed the Elephant Form Swordsmanship. Being a Dual Swords Martial Arts, it was difficult to learn and even harder to master.
But this person had already achieved Great Success. According to pre-battle reports, she had fought hundreds of rounds against Extreme Limit Realm experts at school, finally losing narrowly. However, her popularity at Huangshan Martial Arts University was almost as high as Li Kongkong’s. Her companions, Liu Yang and Jin Ling, were also seasoned Ninth Rank experts with some renown.
Chen Xiaoyun looked towards the serene Mountain God Temple; if she ran now, Lu Chenzhou, surrounded by three, would definitely lose despite his great skills. Now with Wang Hongdao out of the game, the hope for Dragon City Martial Arts University to turn the tables rested on Old Tian and Lu Chenzhou.
She swung her long whip and it cracked through the air.
"Come on, let me try the world-famous swordsmanship of Huangshan!"
The Sword Discussion Six Colleges were known as:
West Mountain Hua, South Mountain Heng, North Mountain Heng, East Mountain Tai, Kunlun, and Huangshan, situated in these six locations and famed among the public because all the schools generally excelled in Soldier Attack Martial Arts.
Among them, naturally, there were many Sword Cultivators.
Yin Shishi did not make a move.
She looked down from above, and a burly figure emerged from within the Mountain God Temple with bulging muscles stretching his loose training clothes, resembling a tiger’s back. Each step he took carried an intimidating Evil Qi. He unsheathed his Fist Blade and looked up.
"It seems we are set for a decisive battle tonight."
Lu Chenzhou stated calmly, undisturbed.
Although he was slightly weary, he could rely on the endurance boost provided by his Iron Crotch Skill to continue fighting with Yin Shishi for three hundred rounds without trouble. He craved battles with strong opponents. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Yin Shishi shifted her gaze from Lu Chenzhou, her ears twitched, and under the cover of the two experts, she leaped up to the top of the temple, stood proudly with a confident smile and said,
"I won’t take advantage of this situation today; see you tomorrow at Bright Peak."
With a light tap, she soared up, turning to leave.
Liu Yang and Jin Ling followed closely, about to disappear from the roof.
Suddenly, Lu Chenzhou launched a surprise attack, using Swallow Form to shoot up a dozen feet high like a wild cat pouncing on a startled bird, and grabbed Jin Ling’s snow-white ankle.
Tiger Form Claw instantly locked down!
Thought you could run after attacking Tiger lord? No way!
The sound of a Tiger Roar echoed through the forest! Just as Jin Ling prepared to counterattack with her sword, she was momentarily distracted, and amid the painful cry, Lu Chenzhou pulled her off the rooftop and then slammed her onto the ground, where Jin Ling used her Short Sword to stab into the ground, barely dissipating the impact with her Hua Realm skills to land smoothly, managing to escape.
The long whip came cracking, wrapping around Jin Ling’s slim waist.
Chen Xiaoyun showed a pleased expression and said,
"Well done, Chenzhou!"
The reversal happened so quickly; Yin Shishi on the rooftop did not expect that Lu Chenzhou would dare to launch a surprise attack after a grueling battle. Her Dual Swords flickered like swallows’ wings wanting to swoop down, but Liu Yang grabbed her, and from among the trees, two figures in Dragon City training clothes emerged - they were Old Tian and Leopard Woman, surrounding Jin Ling.
Jin Ling was frustrated, having tried to show off only to be captured.
Yin Shishi’s expression changed; she kicked a few tiles shooting them towards Leopard Woman who was jumping down, then disappeared into the dim night of Huangshan.
Old Tian stopped the pursuing Leopard Woman.
"Be careful of the opponent’s ambush."
Keeping a high-level expert like Yin Shishi was difficult.
The four from Dragon City Martial Arts University watched Jin Ling with a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile.
Old Tian said with a grin,
"Hand over the nameplate and tokens, and we won’t take further action."
Jin Ling pouted and handed the nameplate to Old Tian.
"They are all with Yin Shishi."
Without a second thought, Leopard Woman hugged Jin Ling, capturing her.
"What are you doing?"
"It’s obviously a body search, stop complaining, or I’ll let him search you,"
she pointed to Lu Chenzhou, who looked menacingly muscular, and said with a sinister smile.
Jin Ling’s face flushed, and she raised her hands.
Chen Xiaoyun quickly searched her and then let her go.
"Indeed, she doesn’t have them."
"Huangshan Martial Arts University isn’t foolish, surely the strongest of the small team is keeping them."
Jin Ling wasn’t convinced and said,
"I’m not weak, you just ganged up on me."
She glared fiercely at Lu Chenzhou, blaming him.
The others disregarded her, and soon staff came to take her away.
"You have no chance of winning without Wang Hongdao!"
The woman tried to discredit the group before leaving.
She was so confident, knowing they had Li Kongkong at Huangshan!
