King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 21: Chapter 19: Battle at Snow Eagle Castle, Part 2

Despite this, the sudden attack still shocked and disturbed everyone present, and their spirits were severely shaken, unable to calm down for a long time.

However, they were not overcome by fear, instead quickly adjusting their state of mind, preparing to face possibly more intense fighting to come. In this crisis-ridden, unknown snowy mountain, every encounter could be a critical test of life and death, and every decision could determine their fate.

Master Yuan Chi, his disciples, and other Martial Arts comrades reacted swiftly, without hesitation leaping off their horses and rolling into the thick snow to dodge the arrows raining down like a storm.

Swish! The arrows whistled past overhead, deeply embedding in the snow.

After this brief chaos, Master Yuan Chi swiftly regained his composure.

He turned to Wu Zhong, the ”Iron Palm,” and Xiao Lingling, the ”Mandarin Duck Saber,” and said solemnly, ”After careful consideration, this old monk estimates that the child Guihua is definitely trapped inside Snow Eagle Castle. Now, this old monk and my eldest disciple will engage the bandits of Snow Eagle Castle in an intense skirmish here to draw their attention. Meanwhile, the two of you must seize this opportunity to silently infiltrate Snow Eagle Castle, carefully investigate the situation. I believe that Feiyang is also fighting fiercely within the castle at this moment. You must cooperate closely, work together to find Guihua amidst the chaos, and rescue her safely.”

Wu Zhong and Xiao Lingling nodded, the couple exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with determined light.

They both understood in their hearts that this was not just about rescuing Guihua, but also about upholding justice and honor.

At this moment, more and more bandits from Snow Eagle Castle were closing in from all directions, like a pack of hungry wolves sniffing out their prey. They wielded various weapons, their eyes glimmering with ferocity, closing in step by step, ready to launch a deadly attack at any moment.

Xiao Lingling, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, had a slender and graceful figure, with an elegant appearance like a blooming flower.

Not only was she an outstanding disciple of the ”Seven Fiend Saber” sect, but she was also a shining star in the Martial Arts world.

Her dual blades gleamed with a cold light in the snow, like two bolts of lightning slicing through the sky. At this moment, Xiao Lingling tightly gripped her long and short dual blades, diligently digging a hiding place in the snow, her movements agile like a clever snow fox darting through the snow.

Several years ago, while traveling the Jianghu, Xiao Lingling encountered Wu Zhong, a Shaolin lay disciple. The two upheld justice together in the Jianghu, journeyed hand in hand, and went through many trials and tribulations. Their relationship gradually deepened during these experiences, like two parallel rivers slowly converging.

Finally, Xiao Lingling married the handsome man known as ”Iron Palm,” Wu Zhong, who was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

Wu Zhong was also an outstanding disciple under Master Yuan Chi, having practiced the Shaolin ”Six Harmonies True Scripture” and the Demon Subduing Palm, giving him a pair of incomparably powerful iron palms of supreme strength and vigor.

Their union was not only a celebrated story in the Martial Arts world, but also a union of two highly skilled martial artists. Their marriage was not just an emotional union, but also a martial complement, becoming a legendary tale admired by countless people.

On this cold winter night, Wu Zhong witnessed the actions of his wife Xiao Lingling and immediately understood her intentions.

He bent down without hesitation, swinging his hands, vigorously digging into the snow.

The couple worked together in harmony, quickly digging a deep pit in the snow.

Then, without hesitation, this brave couple leaped into the snow pit, finding a temporary shelter in the snow.

At the same time, after taking the miraculous ”Lesser Returning Pill,” Master Yuan Chi’s power somewhat recovered.

Seeing the bandits from Snow Eagle Castle gradually approaching, he leaped into the air, slashing down with both palms, knocking down several bandits.

Afterward, he quickly flew away, like a soaring eagle, disappearing into the vast snowy landscape, like a lightning bolt tearing through the silent snow.

Liu Dayou was not willing to fall behind, using the ”Two-finger Zen” divine skill to easily cut off a steel saber from a bandit’s hand.

Then, he swiftly struck like lightning, blinding two bandits with his fingers, and swept down two more with a leg.

Following in Master Yuan Chi’s footsteps, Liu Dayou quickly departed the scene.

In this desolate snowfield, a group of weapon-wielding bandits relentlessly pursued Master Yuan Chi and Liu Dayou.

Their footsteps left deep trails in the snow, like a pack of ferocious beasts relentlessly chasing after their prey.

At this moment, Wu Zhong and Xiao Lingling suddenly leapt out from a snow pit covered by thick snow, silently lurking, quietly approaching Snow Eagle Castle. They moved through the snow like ghosts, blending seamlessly into this white world, making it almost impossible for anyone to detect their presence.

The snow was falling heavily, snowflakes like goose feathers drifting from the sky, covering the earth. The whole world seemed wrapped in a layer of white gauze, appearing especially serene and pure. The branches were laden with crystal-clear snowflakes, the rooftops piled with thick layers of snow.

Wu Zhong bent low and moved near Snow Eagle Castle, suddenly straightened up, and with a ”whoosh,” he struck down two bandits with fierce palm strikes.

Instantly, numerous bandits brandished their knives and swords, charging at Wu Zhong.

Wu Zhong retreated while countering, moving swiftly like a fox, flexibly evading the enemy’s pursuit in the snow.

At the same time, Xiao Lingling seized the opportunity, wielding her dual blades to infiltrate Snow Eagle Castle.

She discovered that Liu Guihua had been captured by the bandits in the castle and suffered serious injuries.

Xiao Lingling’s eyes flashed with a trace of anger as she threw a cold glinting short dagger through the air, precisely striking the bandit guarding Liu Guihua, cutting him in two. Xiao Lingling also released a handful of needles from her sleeve, like a fine rain scattered among the bandits surrounding Liu Guihua, catching them off guard and making them fall one after another.

”Bang bang!” With a series of intense sounds, over ten bandits shrieked and fell, their bodies instantly turning as black as ink, convulsing in pain. Before long, they curled up one by one and died in agony, as if consumed by some mysterious force, the whole process filled with eeriness and terror.

In fact, Xiao Lingling’s hidden weapon was not golden needles but iron needles soaked in a potent potion, which turned her needles a yellow-orange color, giving the impression of being golden needles. Given Xiao Lingling’s status and lifestyle, she couldn’t afford to forge golden needles!

”Eagle” Wu Wei saw this, instantly swinging his long whip to launch a fierce attack on Xiao Lingling.

However, Xiao Lingling’s needles, as dense as a rainstorm, made it impossible for even the highly skilled Wu Wei to dodge them all. With the sound of ”sizzle,” Wu Wei leaped back, his sleeves waving as needles fell like rain, but two poisoned needles still lodged in his body!
