King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 370: Chapter 152: Lin Wanqing Slays the Three Fiends, Shi Feiyang Cuts Down the Snake King

Shi Feiyang, Lin Wanqing, and Xie Wen swiftly left Yizhou City, reaching out to take the reins of the horses respectfully handed to them by the Heroic Sakura Association disciples. They mounted the horses with agility, like swallows in flight, gently clamping their legs against the horses’ sides. The steeds neighed loudly and galloped away, heading straight for the Eagle Beak Rock Sub-Branch.

It was midsummer, and the Liaodong Region felt as if it were placed inside a massive steamer.

The sun hung high in the sky, its rays blazing, the scorching beams resembling countless red-hot steel needles piercing directly into the earth.

The sun was like a giant blazing fireball, wantonly releasing endless heat, scorching the ground until it was unbearably hot.

Heat waves rolled in like surging tides, one after the other, engulfing everything. The air was filled with an almost tangible high temperature, as if every inch of air had been ignited, the entire environment suffused with a suffocating sultriness.

The lush trees on either side of the road should have displayed vibrant life, yet in this oppressive heat, they seemed devoid of their usual vigor. Their dense foliage drooped, as if the trees had been drained of bones and tendons, listlessly hanging there, trembling slightly in the heat waves, silently enduring the relentless torment of the high temperatures. The ”da-da-da” of horse hooves echoed on the dry and hard road surface, each step kicking up a small plume of dust.

Shi Feiyang, Lin Wanqing, and Xie Wen urged the horses on, their figures flickering in and out of the rolling heat waves like moving silhouettes.

That night, a bright full moon hung high in the sky, casting a cold and radiant light that illuminated the earth.

The moonlight was like a wash, pure and flawless, bringing a rare coolness to this hot summer night. The silvery moonlight gently spilled over Eagle Beak Rock, draping the steep rocks in a thin layer of silver gauze, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility.

Eagle Beak Rock stood, its steepness as if cut by a knife, reaching up to the clouds. Under the moonlight, it appeared even more majestic, like a great eagle poised to take flight, its beak slightly curved, seemingly about to peck at the distant and profound night sky.

On the rock wall, vines entwined, and ancient trees soared, casting dappled shadows under the moonlight, injecting a bit of life and vitality into the silent night.

Shi Feiyang, Lin Wanqing, Xie Wen, and a group of disciples from the Heroic Sakura Association rode swiftly in the moonlit night, quickly returning to the base of Eagle Beak Rock.

A gentle breeze blew, carrying a coolness from the mountains, softly caressing the faces of Shi Feiyang and the others, like the most tender touch of nature.

They stood at the base of Eagle Beak Rock, gazing up at the bright moon, an inexplicable heroism and ambition welling up in their hearts.

They all dismounted, skillfully handing their warhorses over to the disciples of the Mountain Foot Inn for care, then walked with steady steps toward the ruins of Snow Eagle Castle.

Under the shroud of night, the moon in the sky resembled a giant silver mirror, its moonlight like gently flowing silver waves, silently pouring over the ruins of Snow Eagle Castle on Eagle Beak Rock.

Shi Feiyang, Lin Wanqing, and Xie Wen carefully navigated the crumbling ruins in the faint and cold moonlight, exploring this ancient site.

In this environment, enveloped by dead silence, it seemed even time had frozen, with only the occasional sound of night birds breaking the silence, like a sharp blade slicing through the suffocating quiet, sending a shiver down one’s spine.

However, on this silent night, an unexpected sight suddenly came into view.

In the deep pit, a faint candle flame flickered, its dancing flame in the darkness like a small but resilient star of hope, shining brightly in the endless darkness.

This scene was like a bolt of lightning, exploding in the hearts of Lin Wanqing, Xie Wen, and others.

They were involuntarily struck with astonishment, an indescribable shock swelling within them.

Lin Wanqing’s eyes widened instantly, filled with shock and confusion, her heart racing as if it would burst from her chest, her mind filled with disbelief and deep perplexity.

Xie Wen’s breathing became rapid as well, he reflexively clenched his fists, the tense atmosphere like an invisible net enveloping them, creating an intangible pressure.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang lowered his voice and calmly suggested, ”I’ll go down and investigate!” Lin Wanqing, hearing this, quickly reached out to grab Shi Feiyang’s sleeve, urgently dissuading him, ”No way! You’re no ordinary person; you’re the Grand Squad Leader of the Heroic Sakura Association, leading twenty-five thousand disciples. You cannot take any risks.” Her words were filled with worry and concern, afraid that Shi Feiyang would encounter some mishap.

Xie Wen, on the other hand, stepped forward with a determined expression, speaking confidently, ”I’ll go down; my Lightweight Technique is good!” Before his words had fully settled, he leaped into the deep pit with agility akin to that of a nimble monkey, not waiting for a response from Shi Feiyang and Lin Wanqing.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang quickly said to Lin Wanqing, ”Xie Wen’s Lightweight Technique is indeed superb, but his martial arts are a bit mediocre. Trust me, nothing will happen. You stay up here and be ready to respond.”

With that, his eyes filled with determination, he swiftly drew the Myanmar Saber from his waist, the blade gleaming with a cold light, and leapt into the pit after Xie Wen.

In that brief moment of suspension in the air, Shi Feiyang utilized the ”Thousand Catty Drop,” the True Qi flowing within him. His body descended like a thousand-catty boulder, rapidly falling alongside Xie Wen.
