25. The Seven Wolves of the Northern Desert! A Bet!
hiss!
Travelers in Pingyang County were used to seeing scenes of carnage.
The scene that was about to unfold before them still made them gasp in shock.
It's so bad that it's unbearable to look at!
"Third Uncle! Let them go, and I'll go back to the mountain with you to see my father!"
Whether you like it or not.
Today, this will surely become their bargaining chip to blackmail their father.
Sacrificing the two girls was of no use.
Only when a person is alive is there a chance for things to turn around.
Ma Shiyi made decisions extremely quickly.
"Bing'er, don't panic."
"Who are your eighth and ninth uncles? They would never bully two little girls."
"It's just to remind them that when you're in the world, you must never act impulsively. There's always someone better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."
Zhao Wangshan laughed heartily.
Wow!
Playing the zither, reading books, painting, and playing chess, while witnessing a sharp blade no more than three inches from one's eyeball.
One foot at a time, flying away at lightning speed.
He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
They couldn't help but hug each other and burst into loud sobs.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Everyone was horrified and immediately held their breath.
Zhao Wangshan chatted and laughed with ease.
They forcefully brought down the Chang brothers, who were like arrows released from a bow.
They pulled them back to their original position and saved the two girls.
And the words of Ma Shiyi and Zhao Wangshan.
The video, seemingly due to poor network connectivity, lagged far behind the subtitles.
Only now are they settling down in an orderly fashion in the restaurant lobby.
"The Chang brothers' combined swordsmanship is extraordinary."
"Master Zhao was able to resolve them all with ease, he must be a half-step True Qi Realm expert."
"Even among half-step True Qi Realm experts, there are varying levels. The top few definitely include Master Zhao, who could hold his own even against True Qi Realm experts!"
Pingyang County truly lives up to its reputation as a county renowned for its martial arts.
The travelers at the restaurants along the official road had quite discerning tastes.
While marveling at the strength Zhao Wangshan displayed, they offered a rather fair assessment.
"Get in the car!"
"If you keep arguing, I'll cut out your tongues!"
The Chang brothers pulled out a specially made rope made of a mixture of cow tendons and steel wire.
The two girls, still sobbing, were tied up face to face.
He grabbed his hair and casually tossed him onto the oxcart his men had brought over.
Ma Shiyi's hands and feet were also tightly bound with ropes.
He could, however, hop and leap onto another oxcart like a zombie.
"We're all on the same side, why be like this? Sigh..."
Zhao Wangshan, with his hands behind his back, smiled and offered his advice.
Then he gestured towards Chang Hei with his lips, meaning...
This place is crowded; to avoid any unforeseen problems, let's leave quickly!
"Walk?"
"I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."
Yang Zhao casually grabbed a handful of peanuts and looked towards the south side of the official road.
His five senses are different from those of ordinary martial artists.
A picture had already formed in my mind.
Seven skilled martial artists were galloping towards them on horseback.
The goal is clear: the restaurant where I am.
The newcomers were clearly up to no good, and what was most infuriating here were the twenty-odd people who were in a hurry to leave.
"Is it Ma Shiyi's father who's here?"
Yang Zhao was pleased to see this.
It's not that I'm indifferent or want to watch the show.
Instead, they wanted to get a feel for the martial arts level in Pingyang County beforehand.
Yang Zhao put a peanut in his mouth and chewed it, finding it increasingly delicious.
……
"stop!"
"Get off the official road immediately!"
Zhao Wangshan realized this too late.
However, they had already sensed that there was something unusual about the road ahead.
Immediately order the troops to turn back.
They set up their formation using the restaurant's perimeter wall as cover.
More than twenty men, gripping their weapons tightly, stood ready for battle.
soon.
on the official road.
Where sand and dust swirl.
Seven fast horses attacked.
An aura of chilling desolation naturally arose.
The bustling atmosphere of the restaurant was instantly frozen in time.
The seven people were described as strange.
With deep-set eyes and a high nose, he is not a person of the Great Mystic.
On one of the horses, a man less than 1.5 meters tall was lying down.
The man was thin and frail, resembling a greyhound, and looked sickly, as if he had suffered a serious injury.
One of the opponents was injured!
If a conflict does occur, at least two people will be needed to take care of it, and it may even affect the performance of six people.
On the other hand, our side is strong and well-equipped, has the advantage of being able to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.
Zhao Wangshan exchanged a glance with the Chang brothers, his expression becoming much more relaxed.
"They are... the Seven Wolves of the Northern Desert!"
"The Seven Wolves roamed the northern deserts, committing murder, arson, rape, plunder, and all sorts of atrocities! They are now being hunted down by the tribal alliance."
"Forced to flee to Da Xuan, he traveled south, killing and robbing along the way, using brutal methods and taking pleasure in slaughtering entire villages."
"Currently ranked fifty-third on the wanted list, he has been causing trouble for over three years due to his great power, yet he remains at large."
"That's natural. They are at least veteran Qi and Blood Realm martial artists, and Wolf-Headed Blood Asura is even a half-step True Qi Realm martial artist."
"Because they've been friends since childhood, their teamwork in actual combat is so seamless that even a True Qi Realm martial artist wouldn't dare to fight them alone!"
"Alas! It's truly regrettable that the murderer couldn't be brought to justice!"
Inside the restaurant, several elderly men, well-versed in the history of the martial arts world, deliberately discussed the matter loudly.
The purpose was to remind Zhao Wangshan to cultivate good karma.
Furthermore, they had some understanding of the personalities of the Seven Wolves of the Northern Desert.
If you flatter them or remain silent, you are very likely to suffer the consequences.
Such scathing condemnation of their misdeeds will only make them complacent.
The Seven Wolves of the Northern Desert!
They're not to be trifled with!
The relaxed expressions on Zhao Wangshan and the Chang brothers' faces tightened again.
I was also very puzzled.
When did we offend these seven evil spirits?
"You fatso!"
"We want the woman in the car!"
"If you obediently hand it over, you'll be allowed to leave alone; we'll only kill your companions!"
Blood Asura unfurled a blueprint against the wind.
The painting prominently features a portrait of Ma Shiyi in women's clothing.
"Master Xue, she is Zhao's niece. I don't know what she has done to offend you seven. Please enlighten me."
Zhao Wangshan bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Half a month ago, her father ambushed our seven brothers at the foot of Erlong Mountain, seriously injuring my seventh brother, who is now on his deathbed."
"It was also because of her father that I, Xue, unusually let go of a boy surnamed Du, which I consider the greatest disgrace of my life."
"Today we're going to take down this brat in front of us and lure her old man out!"
Blood Asura's words instantly ignited a burning passion in the eyes of Zhao Wangshan and the Chang brothers.
Years ago, the nine brothers robbed a treasure.
I received prior information that it contained a peerless martial art.
In retrospect, there were quite a few Qi and Blood Realm cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, and gold and silver treasures.
However, there was no extraordinary skill involved.
At the time, no one cared, since it was hard to tell whether the news they heard was true or false.
Two years ago, the three of them severed ties with their eldest brother.
I received the information from someone knowledgeable about the history and customs of the martial arts world.
The treasure truly contains a peerless martial art.
It was natural to suspect that the first brother to enter the treasure had taken it for himself.
Thus, today's actions came about.
The words of the Blood Asura before them confirmed the truth.
If my elder brother hadn't cultivated the unparalleled divine skill...
How could he possibly fight seven wolves alone, and even severely injure one of them?
Ma Shiyi is a rare commodity.
We can't give it to Seven Wolves!
"Blood Lord, I, Zhao, would like to have a wager with you."
"If you win, you can take the person away. There's nothing your elder brother can say. After all, the Seven Wolves of the Northern Desert are notorious. I've done my best."
"If I win, the person will naturally stay. I just don't know if you dare to accept the challenge? Do you truly have real skills, or are you just all talk and no action!"
Zhao Wangshan understood perfectly.
Before them stood the Seven Wolves of the Northern Desert, no ordinary foe.
Rushing in and fighting each other might not necessarily bring any advantage.
He was practicing a cultivation method that allowed him to cultivate long-lasting qi and blood.
As long as you don't lose in the first thirty moves, the longer the game goes on, the higher your chances of winning.
Having said that, he put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky with a cold smile.
The Chang brothers naturally understood their third brother's intention: a provocation tactic!
