Chapter 52 Cave
three days later.
Niutouling.
At this time, besides the people from the Three Rivers Alliance, the Twelve Linked Forts, and the White Cloud Manor, there were many unfamiliar faces at Niu Tou Ridge, all of whom were quite skilled in martial arts.
Ning Qing and Xiao Bieli stood in a secluded spot. They had been there for a day, but they were not in a hurry to make a move.
Niu Tou Ling is too big. We still need to wait for Xue Zhou's people to find the treasure location. Otherwise, it would take a very long time for Xiao Bieli and Ning Qing to find it on their own.
Ning Qing glanced at the mountain path where people occasionally appeared, and whispered:
"You've caused quite a stir this time; other martial arts masters from Manzhou have arrived."
"It just so happens that people from the Sanjiang Alliance and the Twelve Linked Docks have come to Niutou Ridge. They probably guessed that there might be some good stuff here, so they all came over."
"In Manzhou, Dongjiang County and Linshui County are the most remote and have no famous masters. However, there are still a few well-known masters in the martial arts world of Manzhou."
"According to the information I received from the Zhenwu Hall, two fifth-rank experts have arrived from other counties in Manzhou: 'Iron Claw' Yue Ji and 'Hibiscus Swordsman' Qi Li."
"Hopefully, no fourth-grade Grandmasters will come this time, otherwise things will get complicated."
Xiao Bieli asked in confusion:
“You all come from powerful families, so you shouldn’t care about the legacy of a grandmaster.”
"Why bother seeking the legacy of this grandmaster?"
"Is there something special about it?"
Ning Qing glanced at Xiao Bieli and smiled:
"You don't think that among the nine sects and six gangs, grandmasters are as common as cabbages, do you?"
"Even among the Nine Sects and Six Gangs, there are not many Grandmaster-level experts, and each one holds a very high position within the sect!"
"If it were so easy to become a Grandmaster, people wouldn't say that the people on the Dragon and Tiger List are Grandmaster candidates."
"Moreover, that Grandmaster on Mount Luoxia is no ordinary person. Although 'Rainbow Swordsman' Luo Su is only at the peak of the Grandmaster level, he once killed two Grandmasters of the Cangyuan Sword Sect and one Grandmaster of the Jiangshan Pavilion by himself with a single sword at the Sword Washing Lake!"
"Most importantly, on that occasion, Luo Su took away a famous longsword that was close to a divine weapon from the Sword Washing Lake."
"With this level of renowned weapon, as long as it is worn regularly and cleansed with sword intent, it has the potential to be upgraded to a divine weapon in the future!"
"Zhuo Qingyun is about to enter the Grandmaster realm. He wants both the Rainbow Sword and Luo Su's sword technique!"
"However, not many people know that the 'Changhong Swordsman's' legacy is in this mountain. Even among our three families, only some core members know this. I'm afraid that the people of the Sanjiang Alliance and Baiyun Manor still don't know what Xue Zhou is looking for."
Just at this time,
The sounds of clashing weapons and fighting came from the mountain.
"There really is an underground palace!"
"Could there be treasure?"
Ding-dong!
"Your Sanjiang Alliance and Baiyun Manor shouldn't be so domineering. The wilderness is no-man's land..."
Xiao Bieli and Ning Qing exchanged a glance, then leaped lightly and sped off toward the source of the sound.
In a short while, the two men saw the two opposing forces.
On one side were the people of the Sanjiang Alliance, Baiyun Manor, and the Twelve Linked Forts.
On the other side were martial arts practitioners from Dongjiang and Linshui counties, among whom were some unfamiliar faces, who should be the experts from other counties that Ning Qing mentioned.
Behind the Sanjiang Alliance members, there was a huge hole that had been cleared away.
However, at a glance, Xiao Bieli
Among this group, the most skilled martial artists were only two sixth-rank masters who had opened their Ren and Du meridians; there wasn't even a fifth-rank master.
It seems the experts have already entered the cave.
There were still more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, their blood not yet congealed, clearly indicating they had just died.
"White-spotted Tiger" Chen Xing coldly swept his gaze over the crowd not far away, and said coldly:
"Get out of here if you don't want to die!"
"What's inside isn't something you can covet!"
"Heh!" Several cold laughs came from the crowd:
"If your Three Rivers Alliance were truly that powerful, you wouldn't have let over a dozen people break in just now!"
"We outnumber you twice as much. If we really fight, you might not have the upper hand!"
Chen Xing looked at the person who spoke and said coldly:
"You can try. You think you can break in with your bunch of trash?"
At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted again:
"Don't be afraid. There are so many of us, they definitely can't stop us. Even the true disciples of the Salt Gang and Cangyuan Sword Sect have gone in. There must be something good in there. If we can get it, we might have a chance to become fifth-grade experts in the future... or even fourth-grade grandmasters!"
"Good, let's all go together!"
"Do it!"
"..."
Although the crowd was shouting loudly, no one took the lead in making a move.
Even the two sixth-rank experts hidden among the crowd didn't dare to...
The opposing forces consist of elites from the Three Rivers Alliance, the Twelve Linked Forts, and the White Cloud Manor. They might not be able to win, and if they take the lead in attacking, they will be held hostage, making it impossible for them to survive in the two prefectures in the future.
Hey!
A sigh reached everyone's ears.
Before they could even turn their heads, they saw a figure dressed in black, rushing towards the cave entrance.
Behind the figure in black was an incredibly handsome young man.
"you dare!"
"How brave!"
Two angry roars rang out, and Chen Xing, the "White-spotted Tiger," and a sixth-rank expert from the Twelve Linked Forts leaped up almost simultaneously, attacking the black-clad figure in the air.
They arrived quickly, but flew back even faster.
Swish!
A crimson blade flashed past.
puff!
puff!
Chen Xing and the sixth-rank expert from the Twelve Linked Forts coughed up blood, their bodies flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.
[Experience +2000!]
[Experience +2000!]
"Master Chen is dead!"
Elder Liu is dead too!
Exclamations of surprise rang out.
"Kill!"
"Don't let him in!"
"..."
More than a dozen figures rushed towards Xiao Bieli.
puff!
puff!
puff!
Xiao Bieli's knife was as fast as lightning; with each slash, several heads flew off.
[Experience +1000!]
[Experience +500!]
【…】
In just a few breaths, there were already more than twenty corpses on the ground.
The people of the Three Rivers Alliance and the Twelve Linked Forts were terrified by their killings.
They dared not go any further and could only watch helplessly as Xiao Bieli and Ning Qing entered the cave.
……
"That just now looked like Young Hero Xiao Bieli!"
"That's right, it's Young Master Xiao!"
"As expected of the number one expert among the younger generation in Linshui County, even 'White Tiger' Chen Xing couldn't withstand a single strike from him!"
"These bastards have been bullying us with their power, but now they've finally met their match!"
Someone exclaimed.
Not only the Three Rivers Alliance, but also the people of the Twelve Linked Forts were shocked by Xiao Bieli's martial arts skills; even these martial arts practitioners were the same.
"If you ask me, Xue Zhou is only a dozen years older than Young Hero Xiao, otherwise he wouldn't stand a chance against Young Hero Xiao at all!"
"Yes, with Young Master Xiao's talent, he is destined to be on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking in the future, and his position will even be ahead of Xue Zhou!"
"..."
"Forget about Young Hero Xiao for now. He's killed several experts; this is our last chance!"
"Yes, yes, let's rush in!"
"Kill!"
