King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 20: Chapter 18: Snow Eagle Castle, Battle Again (Part 1)

Wu Rushan was a highly skilled swordsman, his return undoubtedly brought harsher challenges to Snow Eagle Castle.

Liu Guihua’s unexpected return made her the center of attention among the bandits of Snow Eagle Castle, simultaneously placing her in even greater danger.

This exceptionally skilled martial artist dedicated to mastering the ”Reverse Two Yi Saber Technique,” Wu Rushan easily captured Liu Guihua upon his return to Snow Eagle Castle and securely restrained her in Unity Hall.

”Eagle” Wu Wei, ”White Eagle” Wu Ping, ”Silver Eagle” Wu Sheng, ”Bronze Eagle” Wu Dong, ”Iron Eagle” Wu Lin, ”Purple Eagle” Wu Yu, ”Green Eagle” Wu Liang, ”Red Eagle” Wu Wei, ”Stone Eagle” Wu Bo, and other nine Eagles faction experts violently believed that given Liu Guihua’s return to Snow Eagle Castle, her brother Liu Dayou, Master Yuan Chi, and Shi Feiyang would certainly launch an attack on Snow Eagle Castle to rescue her.

Therefore, they wielded their whips and clubs, brutally torturing Liu Guihua, forcing her to reveal the location of Snow Eagle Castle’s hidden weapons and provisions.

However, how could Liu Guihua provide an answer?

Liu Guihua knew nothing about the quantity of weapons and provisions within Snow Eagle Castle, let alone the specific hiding places of these resources. She knew very little about the inner workings of Snow Eagle Castle and had never ventured into those secret corners.

At this moment, Liu Guihua’s silence made the Eagles faction experts extremely angry.

No matter how hard they pressured her, Liu Guihua was unable to answer these criminals’ questions about Snow Eagle Castle.

Snowflakes drifted down gently, like countless pure spirits dancing lightly in the air, strewn across the silent snowy landscape. They floated, telling one enchanting story after another.

Every snowflake seemed like a tiny miracle, carrying the chill and purity of winter.

This snow-covered land was draped in a white carpet, appearing especially peaceful and beautiful. Distant trees were adorned with snow as if they were clad in a silvery, idyllic realm, each branch hung with crystal-clear ice jewels.

In this silver-white world, time seemed to have frozen, leaving only snowflakes fluttering in the air.

Master Yuan Chi, Liu Dayou, and several other martial arts experts felt a surge of ominous premonition when they realized Liu Guihua had suddenly vanished.

Knowing Liu Guihua was in great danger, they decided to entrust a group of elderly and children to reliable Escort Masters, repeatedly instructing them to escort the elderly and children back to the Central Plains first.

Then, without hesitation, Master Yuan Chi, ”Two-finger Zen” Liu Dayou, ”Iron Palm” Wu Zhong, and ”Mandarin Duck Saber” Xiao Lingling spurred their horses, quickly returning to Snow Eagle Castle, hoping to discover Liu Guihua’s whereabouts.

They knew Liu Guihua was only seventeen, at the prime of her life, and could not let her fall into enemy hands alone. Whatever it took, they had to find Liu Guihua and ensure her safety, not allowing her to fall into the den of evil forces.

On their way back to Snow Eagle Castle, Master Yuan Chi and the others were increasingly heavy-hearted, as if every snowflake carried their endless worries. Hence, Master Yuan Chi tightly grasped the Buddha Beads in his hand, silently reciting sutras, praying for Buddha’s blessing for Liu Guihua’s safety.

Liu Dayou furrowed his brows, his eyes shone with resolute determination, vowing to rescue Liu Guihua from danger.

Wu Zhong clenched his iron fists, silently swearing to protect Liu Guihua’s safety, regardless of how many hardships lay ahead.

Xiao Lingling gripped the Mandarin Duck Saber, her eyes radiating firm resolve, pledging to fight against evil forces to the end.

They spurred their horses swiftly, the sound of hooves echoing on the snowy ground.

Meanwhile, the situation around Snow Eagle Castle grew increasingly tense.

Wu Wei, Wu Lin, and eight other Eagles faction experts invited their uncle Wu Rushan, this experienced veteran martial artist, to lead a group of bandits in fortifying Snow Eagle Castle against threats.

From inside to outside, three layers of defense tightly interlinked, ensuring no loopholes.

On the roof, Snow Eagle Castle’s thieves armed with bows and arrows, standing alert, seemingly ready to shoot a deadly arrow at any moment.

On the ground, Snow Eagle Castle’s bandits had their swords drawn, bowstrings taut, ready to respond to any sudden situation. The entire Snow Eagle Castle had become an impregnable fortress, tightly defended in the air and on the ground.

Wu Rushan and his subordinates swore to keep Snow Eagle Castle under tight control, leaving no chance for any enemies. Every sentry was occupied, every corner carefully inspected, ensuring no negligence.

Wu Rushan was the younger brother of the former Fortress Master Wu Hong of Snow Eagle Castle.

Approximately thirty-seven or eight years old, he had a robust physique and developed muscles, radiating strength.

His face was resolute, his gaze revealed a sense of firmness and decision-making.

Wu Rushan not only inherited the family’s fierce bloodline in appearance, but his character and talents also demonstrated extraordinary qualities. He had no intention of competing with his elder brother Wu Hong for the Fortress Master position of Snow Eagle Castle, choosing instead to stay away from strife and decided to live in seclusion in a hidden ice cave behind Snow Eagle Castle, concentrating on practicing his Primordial Thunderbolt Technique and Reverse Two Yi Saber Technique.

In the ice cave, Wu Rushan remained free from distractions, diligently training day after day, steadily advancing his martial arts skills.

Long-term training enabled Wu Rushan’s martial arts to surpass his elder brother Wu Hong, reaching a new level.

His Inner Strength was profound, his moves skillful, each strike had an overwhelming force, commanding respect. Although residing in the ice cave, Wu Rushan’s life wasn’t entirely disconnected from the outside world; he occasionally descended the mountain to maintain adequate contact with the outside world, staying informed about the dynamics of Jianghu.

In the ice cave, Wu Rushan not only practiced martial arts but also delved into various martial arts theories, continually refining his martial arts system.

With Wu Rushan’s dedicated research, his Primordial Thunderbolt Technique and Reverse Two Yi Saber Technique had reached the pinnacle of mastery.

Additionally, Wu Rushan’s martial arts cultivation wasn’t limited to techniques; he also emphasized Inner Power Heart Method training, enhancing his Inner Strength for more flexible usage of advanced martial arts techniques.

In the Martial Arts world, Wu Rushan’s reputation may not be as prominent as his elder brother Wu Hong, but his formidable strength was undeniable.

Master Yuan Chi, Liu Dayou, ”Iron Palm” Wu Zhong, and ”Mandarin Duck Saber” Xiao Lingling, these outstanding martial artists, unfortunately encountered an unexpected ambush on their swift return.

Whoosh! The arrows rained down, Snow Eagle Castle’s bandits emerged from all directions, wielding bows without mercy, unleashing a fierce volley of arrows at Master Yuan Chi, Liu Dayou, and the others.

The arrows poured down like a torrential rain, cutting through the air with sharp whistles, rushing directly towards Master Yuan Chi and the others.

Master Yuan Chi mobilized his profound Inner Strength, his sleeves swiftly flicking, knocking down the incoming arrows one by one.

Liu Dayou, with agile movements on horseback, deftly dodged left and right, successfully avoiding most of the arrow attacks.

”Iron Palm” Wu Zhong relied on his excellent Inner Power, catching several arrows aimed at him, showcasing his awe-inspiring power.

As for ”Mandarin Duck Saber” Xiao Lingling, her skills were extraordinary.

In an instant, she quickly drew the Mandarin Duck Dual Sabers from her waist, whirled them like the wind, slicing through all the arrows aimed at her. Her blade techniques were so superb that it seemed like an invisible net had been woven in the air, blocking all those deadly arrows.

In this sudden attack, Master Yuan Chi, Liu Dayou, ”Iron Palm” Wu Zhong, and ”Mandarin Duck Saber” Xiao Lingling used their respective skills to successfully withstand the fierce assault from Snow Eagle Castle thieves.
