The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Page 122

This long whip was originally the weapon of a charming woman. The whip was covered with sharp barbs. If it were to be lashed out, it could instantly reduce flesh by two ounces. If it was lashed out several times, it could reduce flesh to skin and bones. Especially since this long whip was in Jiang Ning's hands, its power was much stronger than when it was in the hands of the charming woman. Everyone was very wary and avoided it.

"what!"

The old woman was struck on the arm by the long whip. The barbed whip slashed across her hand, sending blood and flesh flying. The excruciating pain tormented the old woman.

call out!

Another whip came, wrapping around the old woman's neck. Jiang Ning swung his arm and pulled her up, slamming her down on her husband.

Bang!

The two collided, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

At this moment, the long whip in Jiang Ning's hand was covered with blood and bits of flesh, emitting a bloody stench.

This whip is quite useful.

Jiang Ning cracked his whip and looked at the people around him; the others all looked at him as if facing a formidable enemy.

Jiang Ning hasn't said a word since he came in, but he has created an indescribable sense of oppression and suffocation in their hearts.

Only now did they understand why the other party had the title of Yama, the King of Hell.

……

Night falls.

Two gang members were on patrol when suddenly a pair of hands shot out from the darkness, grabbing their necks. Before they could utter a sound, there were two soft snapping sounds.

The two made no further moves.

Yue Buqun emerged from the darkness, withdrew his hand, and the two of them collapsed limply.

Looking at the two corpses, Yue Buqun seemed lost in thought.

"It doesn't seem too difficult."

Yue Buqun, who had expected a major battle, found the process to be exceptionally smooth. He silently killed everyone he encountered along the way, without encountering any resistance or alerting anyone.

At first, Yue Buqun was a bit clumsy and not very skilled, but now he was getting more and more adept. He started from the other side of the village and carried out a carpet-like assassination all the way over, which was very easy.

However, when he started moving to the left, he noticed that the necks of some people who were sleeping in the houses were broken, killed instantly, without even a trace of struggle. Yue Buqun knew that Jiang Ning was behind it, so he quickened his pace.

"who!"

Several gang members on patrol saw Yue Buqun suddenly appear and were about to shout at him, but Yue Buqun moved quickly, giving them no chance to react or escape.

"An attack on the camp! An attack on the camp!"

Although Yue Buqun moved stealthily, as more and more people died, the remaining people realized what was happening and began to rush over. Before long, more than a dozen people had gathered.

Seeing this, Yue Buqun no longer concealed his intentions, drew his sword, and began to fight.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared in the village, the remaining people began to surround him, and others rushed over after hearing the commotion.

With Yue Buqun's current martial arts skills, he is already among the top in the martial arts world. These people who only know ordinary fist and foot techniques are no match for him.

"kill!"

The four well-trained men simultaneously swung their swords and slashed at Yue Buqun.

puff! puff! puff! puff!

Yue Buqun swung his longsword repeatedly, the tip of the sword swiftly piercing the throats of the four men, and streaks of blood flew out.

The others were terrified to see Yue Buqun kill them so easily.

"Why are there only us? Where are the others? Where are Wang Lao Er and the others?"

Someone shouted in fear.

The village is full of their people, but so far many haven't come. Such a commotion hasn't woken them up; they seem to be fast asleep.

They didn't know that those people had already left before them.

"Run, run!"

Seeing how easily Yue Buqun killed them, and with no one else coming, the entire village was eerily silent. The remaining people, terrified, began to flee.

Upon seeing this, Yue Buqun began to give chase.

His martial arts skills far surpassed those of these people. He caught up with them in a few leaps, and each sword strike was a life. Even if these people scattered and ran away, it was useless. Yue Buqun could always catch up with them quickly, and they died on the road before they could even leave the village.

Chapter 176: More people, more fun

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

A middle-aged man knelt down and begged Yue Buqun for mercy. A foul odor emanated from his crotch, and a yellow stain soaked his trousers.

"don't want……"

The middle-aged man was still begging for mercy when a sword pierced his neck, silencing him from his next words.

Yue Buqun coldly sheathed his sword, looked around, and saw corpses lying on the open ground. Every so often, one could see another corpse lying on the ground, which was extremely eerie in the silent night.

There has been no further activity in the village since then.

After killing these people, Yue Buqun began searching for Jiang Ning, and finally saw the brightly lit house in the center of the village.

Yue Buqun approached the house, and the door was opened at that moment, releasing a strong smell of blood.

Jiang Ning walked out from inside.

"Master."

Jiang Ning walked over, and the two master and apprentice reunited.

Yue Buqun looked at the bloodstains on his body and asked, then looked at the room behind him and saw the situation inside.

In the center of the room, a man with disheveled hair was hanging from a beam with a long whip wrapped around his neck. The whip around his neck was soaked in blood, and his arm was bent unnaturally, with blood dripping down his arm to the ground.

Next to him, a man dressed as a Taoist priest was pinned to a pillar with a long knife through his neck, his eyes filled with fear.

Another beggar lay on the ground, surrounded by a large amount of blood, his chest was clearly dented, and he looked like he had died with his eyes wide open.

The rest of the bodies lay scattered on the ground.

The beams, pillars, walls, floor, and rooms were covered with large patches of blood and severed limbs, resembling a living hell.

Yue Buqun remained calm, but after glancing at Jiang Ning, he looked at him with concern in his eyes: "Are you alright?"

Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head: "No."

"That's good."

A smile also appeared on Yue Buqun's face.

Tonight's operation went exceptionally smoothly. Yue Buqun had initially thought that with so many people on the other side, it might be quite difficult for them to fight, but after listening to Jiang Ning's advice, it saved them a lot of trouble.

"I just don't know if any of them slipped through the net."

Yue Buqun's tone was somewhat regretful. Even though he was a master of martial arts, he and Jiang Ning were only two people. The other side had so many people; even hundreds of pigs wouldn't stand still and let him kill them.

Just now, when Yue Buqun was on a killing spree, some of the clever ones didn't even participate in the battle; they ran away as soon as they saw things were going wrong.

"It doesn't matter if a few run."

Jiang Ning remained relatively calm. This time, unlike when he was with the Green Gang, where the main branch and six branch branches were scattered and each branch only had about twenty people, making them easier to kill. Here, so many people were gathered together, and even with the most skillful assassination, it was impossible to kill them all. Killing most of them would be enough.

"In that case, let's go back to the mountain."

After doing all this, Yue Buqun wanted to return to Mount Hua, as Mount Hua was their home turf.

"Master, you should go back first."

Jiang Ning didn't want to leave in a hurry.

Yue Buqun asked, puzzled, "What?"

"I plan to stay and watch over these people at the foot of the mountain."

After killing the people here, Jiang Ning planned to wait for the enemy to come from all directions, not at the same time. In this way, Jiang Ning could wait at the foot of the mountain, killing one by one, and killing two by two.

If these people want to attack Mount Hua together, then he will be the first line of defense for Mount Hua.

This will also give the Huashan Sect more time to prepare.

"This……"

Yue Buqun was somewhat tempted by the words, and even considered staying, but there were still many things at Huashan Sect that he needed to arrange.

"If you want to do it that way, then you can. But you have to be careful. If the other side has more people, then don't be reckless. Come back quickly. Mount Hua is our home ground."

Yue Buqun pondered for a moment, then said to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Don't worry, Master."

He knew what he was doing. His purpose was to kill those independent individuals or some weaker small gangs. If the other side had too many people, Jiang Ning wouldn't insist on fighting them head-on.

"Then I will return first."

After agreeing to Jiang Ning's request, Yue Buqun did not intend to rest and prepared to return to Mount Hua.

It was already late at night, not long before dawn.

"it is good."

Jiang Ning nodded, and after Yue Buqun left, he also left.

The village, which was once full of people, was now deserted, with corpses scattered everywhere, a truly horrifying sight.

Two days later.

Four people came here.

"This this……"

One of them hadn't even entered the village when he saw the corpses scattered throughout it and was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth.

"How is this going?"

His companion said in surprise and doubt, "These people should be from the martial arts world. They came to Mount Hua to cause trouble for the Mount Hua Sect. How come they are all dead?"

Someone suggested, "Why don't we go in and take a look? See if we can find anything?"

"This……"

The other three were also at a loss when they saw the village full of corpses.

They were companions who had known each other for over a decade, but none of them were particularly skilled in martial arts, with the highest being only second-rate. They had a little bit of fame in the martial arts world. They had originally planned to meet up with the others who had arrived before launching a major attack on Mount Hua, but they hadn't expected to see so many corpses as soon as they arrived.

"Why don't we leave first? So many people have died here. Let's get out of here and meet up with the others first."

One of them said with a rather unpleasant expression.

Immediately, someone echoed this sentiment.

"Brother Xu is right, that's exactly what I was thinking."

The group didn't know how things had turned out this way, but a strong sense of unease made them want to back down. Now that someone suggested retreating, the other two immediately responded. The person who had initially said he wanted to go into the village to check the situation also quickly changed his mind after seeing his companions' attitude.

Since the other three didn't dare to go in, he was even less likely to go in alone.

"Let's go back first."

Immediately someone spoke up, and the others nodded, preparing to leave, but a voice came from behind.

"Everyone, where are we going?"

The voice appeared very suddenly, startling the four people who turned around to find a figure standing not far behind them, smiling at them.

The others, seeing that he was a young man who looked harmless, subconsciously relaxed and didn't think much about the question they had just been asked.

Jiang Ning glanced at the four people, a smile on his face, and gestured with his chin towards the village behind them.

"Won't you come in and sit for a while?"

Upon hearing these strange words, the group quickly became alert.

"who are you?"

One of them questioned him.

"Huashan Sect, Jiangning."
