Volume 3: Qiongzhou ? Wu Xing Volume Chapter 14: Bloody Silver Spear, Galloping Along the Yangtze River

  Lin Meng'er watched from the side, her hands clenched into fists, cold sweat dripping down, as she witnessed the scene of murder and bloodshed, taking someone's life, avenging past grievances. Although she had heard about such things many times before, this was actually the first time in her life that she had seen it with her own eyes!

  That "Blood Silver Gun, galloping along the Yangtze River" Silver Gun Elder Huang Zhi just raised his hand, gun shining bright, killing two Qingyun Sect disciples. Blood splattered everywhere, almost staining her clothes. The Qingyun Sect disciples' faces were twisted in agony, convulsing before dying right in front of her. Lin Meng'er's whole body trembled with fear, smelling the bloody stench, almost vomiting.

  Yin Gun's elder was severely injured, but he made another desperate effort just now and killed one of the Kongtong disciples in the chaos, wounding another.

  As he fell, the silver gun in his left hand suddenly slipped out of his grasp and transformed into a sharp arrow. "Bloody Silver Gun Twenty-Four Styles" - the twenty-first style, "Sunset Arrow", pierced through the chest of that injured Qingyun disciple, killing him instantly. Even if he was exhausted, he had already taken down four Qingyun disciples in total. Now, only Cheng Man, Huang Langzi and another disciple were left, a total of three people.

  "With a silver spear that has drunk blood, galloping across the Yangtze River" - even in such a heavily injured state, he still remains so brave and fierce. The elder of the demonic sect is not renowned for nothing.

  "Haha, I've long heard of the Silver Gun Elder's name in the demonic sect. Today, he actually fell into my hands, it's really a stroke of luck for me!" Cheng Man's eyes had already turned red with killing intent, his heart aching over his disciple's life, his desire to kill growing stronger, he stepped forward and struck out with a palm, wanting to end the Silver Gun Elder's life.

  "Congratulations, Master Shu! Today's battle was a great victory, with you killing the Silver Spear Elder of the Demon Sect. Your contribution is the greatest, and our sect has won a crushing victory. You will surely be famous throughout the land!" Huang Langzi flattered, trying to curry favor.

  You sneer at me with a cold smile, and you ambush me like this. Now you're taking advantage of your numerical superiority to bully the weak, and you call yourself a reputable and righteous family?

  Cheng Man was also secretly delighted, and his luck was in his palm. In just an instant, his right palm had grown to twice its size, and the center of his palm turned a deep red color. He wanted to strike down with one palm, but unexpectedly, he was blocked by Lin Meng'er's mount. Lin Meng'er's whole body was trembling, and the horse was also restless, unable to completely calm down. Now it was even more uncontrolled, its hooves moving wildly within a three-foot range, unable to be restrained. Twice, it had blocked Cheng Man's palm strike.

  Cheng Man had been dissatisfied with Lin Meng'er daring to remind the Silver Gun Elder of the Demon Sect just now, and now being blocked by a horse, he was furious in his heart, determined to teach this young junior a lesson. So, without saying much, he slapped the abdomen of Lin Meng'er's mount with one palm, shouting: "Scram!"

  He had practiced the "Red Palm" for decades, and his reputation in Jianghu lasted for twenty years. His skills were incredibly deep and powerful, and it was no wonder that the horse, although not an ordinary one, could not withstand it. The horse let out a loud whinny, its body probably shattered to pieces, and with a final, mournful neigh, it foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground dead.

  Lin Meng'er was greatly shocked, letting out a cry of "ah" as she instinctively pulled her body up, shifted to one side, grasped the scabbard, and lightly jumped down from the horseback, landing beside her senior brother Chu Jiu's mount.

  "Ah, the young master's lightness skill is quite impressive!" Cheng Man's eyes lit up, and a killing intent flashed in his mind. However, he didn't realize that he had misjudged earlier and hadn't investigated the origins of these two youths. His heart sank as he thought: "If this white-faced scholar and black-faced book boy are also people from the jianghu, then if they were to spread the words spoken by Silver Spear today, the reputation of the Congtou Sect would be completely lost."

  On the ninth day, Cheng saw that the bandit's eyes were flashing with uncertainty and had already formed a murderous intention. The yellow wolf-like man beside him was even more sinister. Hastily dismounting his horse, he kowtowed and said: "Great hero, please forgive our sins! My young master is out for the first time and has been rude to you, I hope you will spare his life, my young master has no connection with the Jianghu!"

  He just got off his horse, pretending to be clumsy and awkward, as if he didn't know any martial arts; also knowing that Cheng's caution was because he was afraid that the two of them would spread what they had just heard to Jianghu, so he said this while kowtowing.

  On the ninth day, he felt a great pain in his heart. He knew that Cheng Man was the first generation of strong men from the Kongtong Sect, and his internal strength far surpassed his own. He and his sister were no match for him, so he really didn't want to be his enemy. Lin Meng'er, on the other hand, glared at Cheng Man with anger. She had a deep affection for her horse, from the moment she got it in Tiannan to its death now by the Quzhou River, and naturally felt heartbroken.

  However, she thought that if they were to become barbarians, it would be difficult for Huang Langzi to be her master and brother. So she revealed her true identity as the precious daughter of Lin Ruochi, the leader of the Diancang Sect, daring them to try anything against her!

  Cheng Man was taken aback after hearing Chu Jiu's words, and he couldn't bring himself to kill the innocent young scholar and his two attendants, despite being a renowned elder of the Qingcheng Sect for twenty years.

  "Two young masters, why be so afraid? Quickly get up! My master is a renowned and righteous hero of the Jianghu world, how could he possibly have any intention to harm you?" The yellow wolf-like man stepped forward as if to help Chujiu up, his mouth continuously speaking humble words, his tone was inexplicably gentle, if not for Chujiu already knowing that he was a sinister and ruthless person, he would have definitely thought that the yellow wolf-like man was a good person.

  As expected, Huang Langzi pretended to go out and pull out the ninth initial with his left hand, but with his right hand, he suddenly stabbed a sword at the ninth initial's chest. Lin Meng'er saw it from the side and let out a cry of surprise "Shixiong Xiao..." She had no defense at all, thinking that Huang Langzi was speaking sincerely. In her shock, she saw that the ninth initial only slightly shrunk his body and avoided Huang Langzi's sword, naturally having been prepared early on.

  "Master Shu, today we can't let these two bookworms escape, or the reputation of our sect will be tarnished and Master Shibo will blame us!" Huang Langzi turned his head and said, then charged at Chujiu with his sword. Cheng Man's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he recalled Master Shibo's orders. Indeed, just like Huang Langzi had said, even if it meant temporarily putting aside the demonic cult's Silver Gun Elder Huang Zhi, he launched a pair of "Red Practice Palms" at Chujiu. As he saw Chujiu dodging Huang Langzi's sword moves with ease, his body movements were not ordinary, and he knew that Chujiu's martial arts skills far surpassed those of the pale-faced young master. His internal energy was deep, and the sensation of his palm wind was fierce, extending over two feet away. Chujiu had already felt the scorching heat on Cheng Man's palms, and the pressure suddenly surged!

  Lin Meng'er was indignant in her heart and loudly said, "Cheng Da Xia, as the first generation elder of the Qing Yun Sect, you are bullying a young Jianghu with your disciples together. Aren't you ashamed?" She had no more good feelings towards the Qing Yun Sect and was worried about Chu Jiu.

  Cheng Man did not speak, but Huang Langzi's sword movements in his hand did not stop. Instead, he burst out laughing and said: "As long as the two gentlemen cut off their own tongues and chop off their own hands, we will naturally let you go!"

  Cut off the tongue, unable to speak, cut off both hands, unable to write, then you can keep the words that the two of them just heard from leaking out. Lin Meng'er thought of this and coldly said: "You are so ruthless and poisonous, among the seven major sects of the orthodox martial arts world, you are truly a shame to the orthodox martial arts!"

  "Huang Langzi sneered and said: 'Since the young master has spoken, it seems he doesn't want to take action himself. In that case, I'll be happy to help out!' As he spoke, he was already making his move, treating Lin Meng'er as if she were a dish on a platter, extremely arrogant!"

  On the ninth day, Tian Xuan's broken wooden sword had no scabbard, so now he simply wrapped the blade with an ordinary cloth. However, it was not a casual blue cloth like the one on Mount Diancang back then, but a light green color that Lin Meng'er liked, which made Cheng Man and Huang Langzi indifferent.

  Moreover, on that day, at Diancang Mountain, the Kongtong Sect mostly paid attention to Diancang Sanzi and the four great disciples, and only took a glance at Chujiu, thinking it was just Lin Ruopu's bluff. Now, Chujiu's appearance has changed greatly, so even Chengman and Huang Langzi can't recognize him.

  Cheng Man also knew that the disciples of Dian Cang were all with Lin Ruo Chi in the back, so no matter how he thought, he couldn't know that this white and black youth was a disciple of Dian Cang!

  On the ninth day, however, it was a cry of bitter suffering, as Cheng Man's powerful palm strike shocked everyone. His martial arts skills were not inferior to those of the "Cloud Sword Guest" Liu Chenfei, and Huang Langzi's swordsmanship was also quite annoying! He didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, and after retreating three steps in a row, he hastily drew his sword sideways and launched a slanted attack, striking straight at Cheng Man's wrist. This was the clever move "Purple Energy Arrives from the East" from the "Yangnan Swordsmanship".

  The Silver Gun Elder Huang only had a faint breath of air, but now his eyes lit up, this move was the essence of the Cangpai's "Purple Energy Arrives from the East", it was majestic and free-flowing, in this young man's hands, it was used with perfect timing.

  Although he was on the verge of death with no hope of survival, there were still many things he had not done. Naturally, he hoped that this young man could defeat Cheng Ban, but he also knew that under Cheng Ban's illustrious name and powerful martial arts skills, this young man was so young, wanting to defeat Cheng Ban, this hope was really too slim!
