Chapter 134: Qin Yun's Ambush!

  When he was very young, Qin Yun had heard many legends about the Youyuan Witch Tribe from the old men in Shanglin Village.

  In those strange and terrifying stories, the Wuzu people were depicted as having a ferocious appearance with three heads and six arms, possessing the fearsome power to tear tigers and leopards apart, fond of devouring flesh and blood, and being extremely brutal in nature.

  After growing up and reading books that opened his eyes, Qin Yun understood that these stories were not necessarily true, and there were many exaggerations in the descriptions of the witch tribe.

  But now when he saw the true face of two Wuzu people with his own eyes, he knew that those stories and legends were not entirely fabricated.

  These two Mo warriors were over seven feet tall, with tiger-like backs and bear-like waists, extremely robust.

  They were bare-chested, with only the lower body wrapped in animal hide, and their dark skin bulged with muscles that contained explosive power. At their waist, they still wore a curved knife representing their warrior status.

  The appearance of the witch tribe is not ugly, with angular and distinct eyebrows, leopard-like eyes, short hair, and dark red and lead-gray patterns painted on their faces and bodies.

  Qin Yun found them when a young Wu tribe warrior was skinning a goat by the stream, while another warrior with a battle-axe on his back was setting up a bonfire, apparently preparing for their lunch.

  Neither of them noticed Qin Yun quietly approaching from the woods on their right side.

  What a great opportunity!

  Qin Yun stopped at the edge of the thicket, his figure hidden by the dense foliage, while the enemy was fully exposed in his line of sight, no more than fifty paces away.

  His dark eyes flashed with a captivating light, he silently took down the hunting bow and drew back the string to place a three-edged feathered arrow on it.

  If we can take down these two Wu Tribe warriors, the sect's mission will be two-thirds complete. This is an absolutely not-to-be-missed opportunity.

  But when Qin Yun aimed the arrowhead at the battle-axe warrior, the latter's ears twitched a few times, and he suddenly turned around to look in his direction, his eyes wide with fury and an aura of invincibility.

  Terrible!

  Qin Yun never thought that he would be discovered, and without hesitation, he released the bowstring. The feathered arrow shot out like lightning towards his opponent!

  Qin Yun's hunting bow and feathered arrows were all top-notch, the three-edged arrow filled with power traversed dozens of steps in an instant and arrived in front of the battle-axe warrior.

  "Ah ha!"

  Just as the arrow was about to pierce his chest, the battle-axe warrior suddenly let out a loud roar. He raised his right arm and swung it violently!

  Ding! Ding!

  An arrow that was supposed to be a sure hit was unexpectedly knocked off by him with his bare hands, and at this time Qin Yun noticed that the opponent's arm had a black metal guard on it.

  "Charge!"

  The warrior who blocked Qin Yun's surprise attack roared again. He pulled out the battle-axe tied to his back with a reverse hand, and like an enraged bear, he rushed towards Qin Yun's direction.

  The young warrior who was skinning a goat by the river immediately dropped his prey and jumped up, drawing his curved knife and shouting as he followed behind the battle-axe warrior.

  Welcome!

  Qin Yun stood up from behind the cluster of trees, with two feathered arrows simultaneously placed on the bowstring.

  The Wushi warrior's speed was not fast, a distance of fifty steps was enough for him to shoot out two waves of sharp arrows, doubting that his opponent would dare to charge forward head-on against the feathered arrows.

  Only those who have reached the realm of Innate can be fearless in the face of bow and arrow shots.

  This time, Qin Yun's target was that young warrior.

  But just as he was about to change direction and hadn't yet locked onto his opponent, a sudden sense of foreboding appeared in his heart.

  The feeling of being in extreme danger was like being stared at by a venomous snake at close range, Qin Yun's hair stood on end!

  Almost without thinking, he abandoned the idea of shooting down the young warrior and suddenly exerted his legs, fully displaying his agility as he rapidly retreated backwards.

  Whoosh!

  A black feathered arrow flew past where he was originally standing. It hit the tree trunk and penetrated to a depth of half a foot!

  What a close call!

  Qin Yun broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that there was still an enemy lurking nearby, and he almost got ambushed successfully.

  Shadow Warrior!

  A name flashed through Qin Yun's mind.

  The Youyuan Witch Tribe is an ancient remnant people, and it is said that when they were at their strongest, their territory included the four major states of Youyuan, Mobei, Xihai, and Yanyun, with a population of tens of millions and countless strong warriors.

  Although it's been a thousand years today, the Wu tribe can only be trapped in Youyuan, but their heritage is something that no one dares to underestimate. The Great Yan Empire regards the Wu tribe as a major threat and has never abandoned its vigilance.

  The witch doctor of the Wu tribe is similar to a Qi refiner, able to refine talismans, elixirs and medicines, tame Gu insects and fierce beasts, and master all kinds of magical techniques, and is a special existence in the Wu tribe.

  The warriors of the Wu tribe are divided into three categories: Barbarian Warriors, Swordsmen and Shadow Warriors, each with their own abilities and skills.

  The three classes of warriors can be distinguished by the weapons they use.

  The Berserker excels at charging and breaking through enemy lines, wielding greataxes, warhammers, and curved swords as their primary weapons. The Swordsmen specialize in sword techniques, exceling with greatswords and longswords. Meanwhile, the Shadow Warriors excel at stealth and concealment, similar to hunters or assassins, able to skillfully wield blades, short daggers, and crossbows.

  Whether it's a warrior or a wizard, they all come from a witch family with a thousand years of inheritance and cannot be underestimated.

  Qin Yun had thought that there were only two of them from the moment he discovered their trail, and this mistaken judgment almost cost him his life.

  Lost the initiative, and being stalked by the Dark Shadow Warrior in secret, Qin Yun knew he had no chance of winning, so he decisively unfolded his Floating Light Flash Step, using the cover of the mountains and forests to swiftly escape without a trace.

  That battle-axe warrior rushed to the thicket where Qin Yun was originally, but couldn't find any trace of Qin Yun, so angry that he swung his axe and roared loudly.

  "Damn it, will this old mouse only ambush?"

  "Are you scolding me?"

  Along with the cold inquiry, a black figure emerged quietly from the woods just a few steps away from him.

  The axe-wielding warrior with a short temper dropped his arm, spat a wad of thick phlegm onto the ground and said in a deep voice: "You know that I'm not scolding you!"

  The Shadow Warrior slowly walked up to his side, coldly snorting: "You must understand, he is not a mouse, but a powerful warrior, and we must be careful of him!"

  A deep contemplative look flowed from his eyes: "Looking at his age, he doesn't seem like an inner disciple of the Heavenly City, strange"

  This shadow warrior was short and lean, standing next to the battle-axe warrior made him look like a dwarf, he held a black shortbow in his hand, two long-bladed swords hung on his back.

  Unlike the War Axe Warrior, the Shadow Warrior wears a black leather suit and has delicate leather boots on his feet. If it weren't for the strange patterns painted on his hands and face, he would look no different from an ordinary person.

  But among the three of them, he was clearly the leader.

  "Don't be so reckless next time, you can block the opponent's arrow, but Zha Gu may not be able to do it." The Shadow Warrior glared at the Battle Axe Warrior and scolded: "If I hadn't rushed back in time, neither of you would have thought of leaving alive!"

  The battle-axe warrior was still unconvinced in his heart, but he did not refute his words.

  It was the young warrior who spoke up: "Wuma, you said we provoked the Tiancheng Sword Sect this time. I heard that Tiancheng issued an order to destroy Wuma, and we have already lost many brothers. If they cross the Manglong Mountain into our territory"

  The young warrior didn't continue speaking, but both of them understood what he wanted to express.

  This time Tiancheng Sword Sect has absolutely moved true fire, and with the destruction of Wu Ling, it will be a fight to the death.

  The Jianzong Sect's disciples poured out in unison, and if they couldn't find a target for revenge, they would absolutely dare to cross the Manglong Mountains into the Witch Clan's territory to retaliate.

  "Do you want to question the Great Elder's decision?" The Shadow Warrior's gaze grew even colder: "When have the Tiancheng Sword Sect and our Wudang ever had peace? Our current mission is to intercept and kill these stray Sword Sect disciples, we can't let them enter our territory!"

  "Our whereabouts have been exposed, can't guarantee the other side doesn't have backup, let's leave here quickly!"

  The young warrior nodded: "Alright, I'll bring the goat legs, otherwise dinner won't go well."

  He turned around and walked towards the small stream from earlier, that goat with half its skin peeled off was still lying on the riverbank.

  The Shadow Warrior furrowed his brow, his lips moving slightly, but ultimately remained silent.

  The barbarian warrior has a strong and sturdy physique, and usually needs to eat a large amount of food to replenish his energy. The situation in the Dragon Mountain is no better than that of the grassland tribe. A hundred-jin sheep is precious, and it's a pity to discard it.

  The young warrior ran to the side of the stream, quickly picked up the gazelle, and with a curved knife cut off the places where the skin had not been stripped, leaving only the four most tender sheep legs, which he skillfully tied up with a rope he was carrying.

  After gathering everything up, he tied the leg of lamb to his back.

  Whoosh!

  Just as the young warrior was about to leave the stream and reunite with his companions, a sudden explosion erupted from the grass less than ten steps away, and a sharp, unmatched red sword energy shot towards him!

  The young warrior was not weak, but he had no defense against the enemy lurking nearby, and his curved knife was not in his hand as he had just bent down to pick up a sheep's leg.

  Under the sudden attack, he could only hastily dodge to the right, trying to avoid the enemy's surprise attack.

  But it was too late, the young warrior's body had just moved, and the red-haired sword energy had already swept over, ruthlessly cutting off half of his body!

  The distance is too close, the sword tip comes too fast and too suddenly!

  Hmph!

  Blood mixed with internal organs gushed out from the cut, the young warrior opened his mouth wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't say a word, and fell to the ground.

  He gazed blankly at the sky, the pain of his wound having numbed, all the dreams he once had gradually fading along with the light in his eyes until they went out.

  "Charge!"

  The battle-axe warrior and the shadow warrior nearby couldn't believe their eyes, especially the latter who was so shocked that he let out a thunderous roar!

  The sword rainbow that killed the young warrior stopped at the creek bank, the sword light dissipated, and Qin Yun's figure appeared!
