Chapter 1041: Chapter 1037: Annihilated Again

”...Then we’ll wait for a day.” Miao Qingjie gritted his teeth and nodded slowly.

Leng Tieya pretended not to notice his indecisive demeanor.

Hu Yuni said, ”Only within a mile?”

Leng Tieya said, ”Any further, I probably wouldn’t be able to sense it, it’s too faint.”

Hu Yuni closed her bright eyes.

Concentrating to sense the surroundings.

With her keen perception, any subtle changes within a mile were clearly detectable.

The breeze stirring the leaves, insects disturbing the grass, flowers falling into wet mud.

Everything was vividly apparent.

But none of this gave her an unusual sensation, no ancient bones were found.

Nothing was buried underground, no skeletons, none of the hand bones they mentioned.

She opened her bright eyes and looked at Leng Tieya, still half-doubting.

She was still unconvinced that Leng Tieya could sense something she couldn’t.

Miao Qingjie said, ”Mr. Sun, should we move away from here?”

Leng Tieya said, ”We should stay here and not move around.”

”Alright then.” Miao Qingjie nodded quickly.

Hu Yuni said, ”You two stay here, I’ll take a walk around the city.”

”Junior Sister Hu...” Miao Qingjie showed a pleading expression.

If those ancient bones suddenly moved, he couldn’t keep up with his Qinggong, he had to rely on Hu Yuni.

Seeing him like this, Hu Yuni sighed helplessly, ”Fine, fine, I’ll stay too.”

Miao Qingjie instantly beamed with joy, ”Thank you, Junior Sister Hu!”

Hu Yuni waved her jade hand, observing the vast river, admiring its majestic expanse.

Miao Qingjie chatted idly with Leng Tieya, sharing some strange tales of his travels.

He mentioned several times the evil deeds committed by the Ghost Bone Sect disciples, expressing deep hatred and disgust.

Leng Tieya frowned incessantly.

Hu Yuni said, ”Besides the Ghost Bone Sect, there are actually other evil demons, equally at large in the world.”

”Indeed, what Junior Sister Hu said is true.” Miao Qingjie said angrily, ”These evil demons really shouldn’t exist in this world, I just regret that I lack the strength to eradicate them all at once.”

Leng Tieya said, ”Young Master Miao, with Star-picking Cliff, you are not alone.”

”Sigh...” Miao Qingjie shook his head.

Leng Tieya looked at Hu Yuni.

Hu Yuni said indifferently, ”You only see the power of Star-picking Cliff, but don’t know that being a disciple of Star-picking Cliff means following orders.”

Leng Tieya laughed, ”It’s not as carefree and free-wheeling as me, seeking vengeance with ease.”

Hu Yuni said, ”Mr. Sun, your swordsmanship is superb, allowing you to seek vengeance with ease. If one’s cultivation and swordsmanship are not enough, it’s a different story.”

Leng Tieya nodded.

The three of them chatted casually, passing the time.

From morning till noon, the sun reached its zenith.

Miao Qingjie went to an inn in the city to fetch some food and wine.

He moved a large stone over, using a sword to flatten it and brought over three wooden stools, setting up a stone table.

The three of them gathered around the stone table to eat.

Hu Yuni finally removed her veil, revealing a face of stunning beauty.

Leng Tieya showed no unusual reaction, which instead earned him a higher opinion from Hu Yuni.

As they were eating and drinking, Hu Yuni suddenly turned her head to gaze into the distance.

It was upstream of the vast river.

Miao Qingjie said, ”Junior Sister Hu?”

”Speak of the devil!” Hu Yuni hummed, ”The evil demons of Ghost Bone Sect have arrived.”

”They dare to come?” Miao Qingjie snorted, his face darkening slightly, ”Aren’t they afraid of being killed?”

He turned his head to look at Hu Yuni, ”Junior Sister Hu, something’s not right, we’ve killed so many, yet they dare to come!”

In his impression, after a group from Ghost Bone Sect was slaughtered by experts from Star-picking Cliff, these evil demons retreated and hid, not daring to show their faces.

The situation now was different.

So many experts had been killed, yet the Ghost Bone Sect hadn’t shrunk back, but instead came again to court death.

Truly unusual.

Hu Yuni lightly frowned her brows, ”It’s indeed unusual, Mr. Sun, what’s your take?”

Leng Tieya shook his head, ”I don’t understand these things, I just know to kill all these evil demons when I see them.”

”Kill them all...” Hu Yuni lightly nodded, ”Indeed, they should be killed... could they have gotten the news?”

A major operation within the sect should be as secretive as possible, but the Ghost Bone Sect might still have obtained information.

Leng Tieya said, ”The reinforcements that came probably haven’t gone far yet.”

”Is it that serious?” Miao Qingjie took out a short tube from his bosom, looking at it with care, ”I only have this one signal left.”

Every disciple carried two signals for contingencies.

Having already used one, only this one remained.

”Junior Sister Hu...”

”I don’t have one.” Hu Yuni said.

She didn’t carry this signal, choosing instead to escape directly when encountering danger.

If escape was impossible, the signal was useless, as there wouldn’t be time for rescue.

As they spoke, small black dots appeared among the rushing waters upstream.

The small black dots moved downstream, revealing men wearing dark green robes, bobbing up and down in the water, occasionally diving under, then resurfacing.

At first glance, they looked like a group of ducks frolicking in the water.

There were more than twenty of them.

They floated downriver and soon arrived near, stopping at a hundred meters, looking towards Leng Tieya and the others on the shore.

Leng Tieya placed his hand on his sword hilt.

Miao Qingjie quickly said, ”Mr. Sun!”

Leng Tieya looked at him quizzically.

Miao Qingjie lowered his voice, lightly shaking his head, ”Hold on for now.”

Leng Tieya appeared confused, though he actually understood his intent.

Hu Yuni hummed, ”Holding on then, holding on it is.”

She too understood Miao Qingjie’s meaning.

He feared that taking action would disturb the ancient bones.

Leng Tieya released the sword hilt and turned his back to the river, choosing to ignore what he saw.

Miao Qingjie and Hu Yuni also turned around, pretending not to see the disciples of the Ghost Bone Sect.

The experts of the Ghost Bone Sect continued downriver when they saw this.

As they approached within thirty feet of Leng Tieya and the others, six experts from the Ghost Bone Sect leaped out of the river, attacking them.

”Go!” Miao Qingjie hastily said, ”Mr. Sun, let’s go first!”

As he spoke, he flew toward the river, skimming the water with rapid speed, touching the river occasionally with his toes.

Leng Tieya shook his head, looking at Hu Yuni.

Hu Yuni snorted, ”Let’s go.”

She gracefully rose, flew over the river, and headed to the other bank.

Leng Tieya followed her.

As he walked side by side with Hu Yuni, he shook his head, ”This is truly enduring humiliation for a greater purpose.”

”It’s unavoidable,” Hu Yuni said, ”the stakes are high.”

Leng Tieya said, ”I fear in the end it’ll all be for nothing, enduring frustration but gaining nothing.”

Hu Yuni said, ”It’s a gamble. Your qinggong is impressive, Mr. Sun.”

”Miss Hu, same goes for you,” Leng Tieya said.

Hu Yuni said, ”Seeing Mr. Sun reminds me of someone.”

Leng Tieya laughed, ”Is it a friend or a foe?”

Hu Yuni snorted, ”An enemy who must be eliminated.”

”Miss Hu doesn’t see me in a good light.”

Leng Tieya was inwardly alert.

Hu Yuni is quite perceptive, the person she thought of should be Chu Liezhao.

He and Chu Liezhao were of completely different appearance and form, one a human, the other from the Demon Clan, yet their souls were connected.

The similarity of their souls, Hu Yuni actually sensed it.

”Not to that extent, you’ve helped Brother Miao a lot, and he trusts you.”

”Then, Miss Hu doesn’t trust me?”

”We’ll see in the future...”

They spoke as they raced forward.

The four Ghost Bone Sect experts behind them grew more distant and eventually gave up the chase, turning back.

Hu Yuni shifted her form, leaped over to the other side of the river, and hurried toward the direction they came from.

Soon she saw Miao Qingjie fighting with two Ghost Bone Sect experts on a mountain peak.

Hu Yuni suddenly stopped.

Leng Tieya followed suit, seeing her concentrate as she stared over there, he asked, ”Miss Hu, anything amiss?”

”These two are odd,” Hu Yuni lightly frowned, ”very odd.”

”How so?” Leng Tieya was curious.

Hu Yuni gently shook her head, ”There’s a sense of danger... better keep our distance.”

”Then I’ll go,” Leng Tieya said.

His form flickered and suddenly vanished from the spot, appearing several times in the trees, he appeared behind one Ghost Bone Sect expert.

A flash of sword light swept across the neck of this Ghost Bone Sect expert, then the other one.

He pulled Miao Qingjie to appear nine feet away, looking at the two headless corpses.

”Whoosh! Whoosh!”

With a light whistling, two clusters of white light suddenly burst from their chests.

The white light spread into two beams, quickly drilling into the ground, forming two bottomless circular holes.

”Hey!” Miao Qingjie was startled.

These two clusters of white light were too fast, too quick for anyone to react, luckily they retreated in time by ten steps, otherwise they wouldn’t have escaped.

Leng Tieya looked at Hu Yuni drifting over, ”Miss Hu, is this their trump card?”

Hu Yuni drifted in front of the two upright headless corpses, solemnly saying, ”It’s the first time seeing this.”

The two Ghost Bone Sect experts used it, obviously not by chance but as a new trump card.

This made them much more dangerous.

Seeing this white light, she inexplicably felt alarmed, determined it was a fatal threat.

Leng Tieya said, ”I wonder if the other evil demons know this trick.”

”Almost certainly,” Hu Yuni sighed, ”we need to report this to the sect.”

Miao Qingjie hurriedly nodded.

Then he added, ”Mr. Sun, I wonder if the remains were disturbed.”

This earned him a glare from Hu Yuni.

Leng Tieya closed his eyes, concentrating for a moment then shook his head, ”Can’t sense it, we should go back and check.”

So they walked back from the other side of the mountain, avoiding those Ghost Bone Sect experts.

When they reached their previous location, the Ghost Bone Sect experts had already left.

To Miao Qingjie’s excitement, the remains were not disturbed.

Leng Tieya told them to stay here for now, while he went to eliminate those Ghost Bone Sect experts.

Their trump card was ineffective against him, too slow.

The river soon carried away the headless corpses, more than twenty Ghost Bone Sect experts, none were spared.

All this was seen by Hu Yuni standing on the mountain peak, looking down.

When Leng Tieya returned to their side, Hu Yuni looked him up and down.

Leng Tieya smiled, ”Miss Hu, anything wrong?”

”Indeed, remarkable swordsmanship and movement technique,” Hu Yuni said, ”what swordsmanship is this?”

Leng Tieya said, ”I don’t know the name, let’s call it Nameless.”

”Such swordsmanship is rare in the world,” Hu Yuni gently shook her head, ”shouldn’t be obscure... it has traits of the Demon Clan.”

Leng Tieya was startled, ”Demon Clan?”

Hu Yuni gently nodded, ”The swordsmanship you practice might be adapted from the Demon Clan’s swordsmanship, from their top-tier techniques.”

Leng Tieya was half-believing and inwardly amazed.

This Hu Yuni had such wide knowledge, recognizing the traits of the Leng Family Nine Swords in his swordsmanship.

This swordsmanship was a fusion of the Leng Family Nine Swords and Demon Clan techniques.

After mastering several Divine Clan Martial Arts swordsmanship, his swordsmanship skill became profound.

By merging Demon Clan techniques with Leng Family Nine Swords, he created this swordsmanship before them.

The power was indeed astounding.

Originally, he thought no one in the world could recognize it, but Hu Yuni managed to notice something.
