King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 16: Chapter 14: Bloody Battle at Snow Eagle Castle

Liu Dayou nodded slightly, waved his arm, and led everyone away from below Eagle’s Beak Cliff.

However, Liu Guihua remained standing in place, gazing softly at Shi Feiyang, her heart filled with admiration for his talents.

In Liu Guihua’s eyes, Shi Feiyang was not only handsome but also exceptionally wise, almost a perfect embodiment.

Shi Feiyang’s martial arts were exquisite, his wisdom outstanding, which made Liu Guihua irresistibly attracted to him.

Liu Guihua secretly pondered in her heart, from which sect’s lineage did this young man come? Whose disciple was he in the Martial Arts world? To which Jianghu gang did this young hero belong? During the previous fierce battle in the snow, due to the urgency of the situation, Liu Guihua hadn’t had the leisure to inquire about Shi Feiyang’s sect origins, nor had the opportunity to explore his background. Therefore, despite Liu Guihua’s intense interest in Shi Feiyang and the budding admiration for him, she remained clueless about his origins and martial arts sect.

Now, Liu Guihua was contemplating in her heart, planning to find the right moment to ask Shi Feiyang about these matters in detail.

Shi Feiyang noticed Liu Guihua’s gaze was locked on him, seemingly trying to peer into his inner thoughts, and also noted she had taken no action towards fulfilling her assigned task. Hence, Shi Feiyang lightly cleared his throat, intending to remind her, prompting her to recall her duties.

Liu Guihua instantly felt her cheeks heat up as if scorched by fire, her heartbeat accelerated, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

She snapped back to reality, quickly turned around, and left hurriedly.

Liu Dayou, Liu Guihua, and the others cautiously crawled forward in the snow, their movements both light and careful. As they approached the outskirts of Snow Eagle Castle where the bandits were stationed, everyone readied their hidden weapons, prepared to launch a surprise attack.

Liu Dayou accurately and skillfully threw out small flying sabers.

Liu Guihua swiftly and powerfully hurled iron lotus seeds.

The others also used hidden weapons such as the Poisoned Horned Cone with equal proficiency and decisiveness.

Aiyah! With several cries, a few bandits fell to the ground, blood splattering as they died on the spot.

This scene resembled a bloody drama, intensely shocking.

However, this action drew the attention of more armed bandits, who, like enraged beasts, swarmed forth, encircling Liu Dayou, Liu Guihua, and others, aiming to put them to death.

Liu Guihua, Liu Dayou, and a few other companions quickly stood up in the tense atmosphere and left the scene without hesitation.

They caused chaos, leading the guards inside Snow Eagle Castle to panic and run out in all directions, leaving them no time to care for the other situations within the fortress. In this vast sea of snow, capturing Liu Dayou, Liu Guihua, and other escapees wasn’t an easy task for the villains of Snow Eagle Castle.

Meanwhile, Shi Feiyang took advantage of the opportunity, displaying his ”Deep Concealment of Body and Name” exceptional lightweight technique, silently infiltrating the interior of Snow Eagle Castle.

Master Yuan Chi, a monk over a hundred years old, had weathered countless hardships, with time having etched profound marks on his face.

His wrinkles were deep, as if capable of pinching mosquitoes.

His back was hunched, and his skin resembled an old map, with each spot seemingly narrating a past story.

Despite the whip marks with barbs inflicted by the villains of Snow Eagle Castle, leaving his body covered in scars, he was not dispirited. This centenarian elder, having weathered the vicissitudes of life, had naturally witnessed numerous ups and downs of the world.

The present predicament was, to him, merely a threat from a gang of ruthless villains of Snow Eagle Castle.

Their plot had failed, and thus they wouldn’t easily take Master Yuan Chi’s life; they merely attempted to hit him hard, hoping to obtain the treasure they coveted.

However, how could a renowned high monk like Master Yuan Chi in the Martial Arts world be without assistance?

Hence, in the face of the current danger, Master Yuan Chi maintained a calm composure. Previously, armed with the three peerless martial arts ”Yijin Inner Power,” ”Tathagata Divine Palm,” and ”Divine Dragon Claw,” Master Yuan Chi, along with his secular disciple Liu Dayou, infiltrated Snow Eagle Castle to rescue Liu Guihua.

They cautiously avoided the guards inside the castle, utilizing the cover of darkness, quietly approaching their target. Master Yuan Chi, relying on his profound inner strength and vast experience, easily dismantled the traps and mechanisms along the way.

Liu Dayou followed closely behind, remaining alert at all times to guard against unexpected events.

In the depths of Snow Eagle Castle, they finally found the imprisoned Liu Guihua. She was bound by chains, her face haggard, yet her eyes still sparkled with unyielding spirit. Master Yuan Chi, seeing this, felt a pang in his heart but displayed no trace of emotion.

He swiftly made a move, using ”Divine Dragon Claw” to break the chains, freeing Liu Guihua.

Unexpectedly, a Celestial Silkworm Silk Net fell down, dragging Master Yuan Chi into a trap behind him, which turned out to be a pool of poisoned water laced with ”Ten Fragrance Soft Muscle Powder.”

Thus, no matter how deep Master Yuan Chi’s inner power was, it was useless. After being poisoned, all his inner power was lost. Because this poison was extremely treacherous, capable of quickly dismantling the inner strength within the body, even those with extraordinary martial prowess would become powerless to protect themselves.

This is precisely why this eminent high monk, renowned in the Martial Arts world, continued to suffer torments to this day.

At this moment, in the spacious and solemn hall, sunlight streamed through the towering windows, casting a brilliant glow on the smooth stone floor. Seated in the center on a chair covered in luxurious tiger skin was the Fortress Master of Snow Eagle Castle, Wu Hong.

He was over forty years old, a sturdy man with a stern face, eyes like torches, emitting a sharp and fierce light, seeming capable of seeing through all plots and schemes. His gaze conveyed an overwhelming authority, making others dare not meet his eyes, capable of inducing fear, forcing submission with just one look.

Behind Wu Hong stood several loyal guards, dressed uniformly in armor, holding spears, their eyes firm and vigilant, ready at any moment to defend the Fortress Master’s safety.

The hall was filled with an atmosphere interwoven with solemnity and tension.

In this spacious and dignified space, Wu Hong’s authority and power were omnipresent, his very presence an invisible deterrent, instilling fear in all enemies.

His every move appeared calm and powerful, with every gesture and action capable of determining Snow Eagle Castle’s future.

On the four walls of the hall, the portraits of successive Fortress Masters hung, their gazes seemingly also fixed on Wu Hong, silently conveying the family’s honor and responsibility.

In this historically rich space, Wu Hong was not only the Fortress Master of Snow Eagle Castle but also the guardian of the entire family. His authority was not just reflected in his appearance but also in his loyalty to the family and love for the territory.

Beneath Wu Hong’s seat, two rows of burly, imposing men and several women stood solemnly; they included ”Old Eagle” Wu Wei, ”White Eagle” Wu Ping, ”Golden Eagle” Wu Zhan, ”Silver Eagle” Wu Sheng, ”Bronze Eagle” Wu Dong, ”Iron Eagle” Wu Lin, ”Purple Eagle” Wu Yu (female), ”Green Eagle” Wu Liang, ”Red Eagle” Wu Wei (female), etc., nineteen experts of the Eagle rank.

Each one displayed a serious expression, eyes firm, ready to face any danger for Snow Eagle Castle without fear, and vowing to defend the castle’s honor to the death. These Eagle-ranked experts constituted the backbone of Snow Eagle Castle’s force, their presence making the castle renowned in Jianghu, feared by none.

All of them were highly skilled in martial arts, with remarkable prowess, each possessing exceptional strength and extensive combat experience. Their unity made Snow Eagle Castle’s status in Jianghu even more secure, becoming a force to be reckoned with.
