Sword from Songshan

Chapter 30 Trap
"set off!"

The next morning, with a light shout, the two teams of people from Songshan School and Hengshan School headed straight for Hongtong County from the foot of Hengshan Mountain.

According to yesterday's discussion, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, we will only bring a few good fighters this time.

The Hengshan Sect's Master Dingyi led the team personally, and like the Songshan Sect, there were also ten disciples. In addition to the four major disciples Yihe, Yiqing, Yizhen, and Yizhi, there were also six other disciples with the character Yi, such as Yilin, who were all elites of the Hengshan Sect.

The distance was less than 200 miles, and speed was of the essence. The two teams rode at full speed and arrived at the destination after noon.

In order to conceal their identities, both teams were in disguise, especially the young nuns from the Hengshan School. In addition to changing out of their usual monk robes, they all wore bamboo hats.

Moreover, everyone did not enter the county town, but rested in a sparsely populated forest outside the city.

Although this branch of the Demon Cult was not located in Hongtong County, but in an unnamed mountain a dozen miles west of the city, there were many people in the city and it was hard to tell who was the Demon Cult's spy. If they discovered their tracks and made preparations in advance, it would be a disaster.

"set off!"

When the sun set in the west, everyone rested for an hour or two and felt full of energy. Then they headed towards the nameless mountain where the Demon Cult's branch temple was located.

Riding a horse would make too much noise and be easily noticed, so everyone walked on foot. After walking for an hour, they finally arrived at the foot of the nameless mountain.

They did not go up the mountain from the front mountain road. As the base of the Demon Cult, there must be many visible and hidden sentries guarding the intersections and mountain roads.

Having surveyed the terrain long ago, the group went around a cliff on the back mountain and climbed up using ropes.

Poof~!

With a dull thud, the demon sect disciple who was in charge of guarding the back cliff was pierced through the chest by a sword.

After killing the sentry, Master Dingyi walked to the edge of the cliff and waved her hand, and everyone jumped up along the ropes.

About two or three miles ahead, there are flashing lights. That is where the branch of the Demon Cult is located!
"go!"

Master Dingyi and Le Hou exchanged glances and immediately led people over.

The cliffs behind were steep and difficult to climb, so the Demon Cult didn't pay much attention to it and usually only placed one sentry. Moreover, this branch altar was newly built not long ago, and the defenses were not yet perfect, so the journey was relatively safe.

After a moment, everyone looked at the mansion in front of them with serious expressions.

This is the branch of the Demon Cult.

According to intelligence, there are about a hundred cult members inside.

However, this group of hastily assembled rabble is not a cause for concern except for the leader of the group, Song Yuntong.

This time, the twenty elite disciples of Songshan School and Hengshan School, plus two first-rate masters, Le Hou and Master Dingyi, are enough to annihilate them.

"You guys come with me."

Even a lion uses all its strength to fight a rabbit, let alone when facing a vicious and evil cult.

It had been discussed in advance that Le Hou and Master Dingyi would each lead a team of people to launch an attack from the front and back doors at the same time, attacking the Demon Cult from the front and back, catching them off guard!
Le Hou was in charge of the back door. With a light shout, he left with eight Songshan disciples and two Hengshan disciples.

Since each side leads a team, both sides can lead disciples of their own faction.

But as the saying goes, people’s hearts are separated by skin, and the Hengshan School does not trust the Songshan School.

What if they launch an attack but the Songshan Sect remains inactive?
What if they encounter danger and the Songshan Sect refuses to help?
Therefore, Master Dingyi proposed that the two sides exchange two disciples, saying that it would facilitate communication between the two sides, but in fact it was to keep a backup plan.

There are two Hengshan disciples here. If the Songshan Sect plays any tricks, they can send out a signal to warn them in time.

At the same time, there are two disciples of Songshan Sect here. If Songshan Sect really has some evil plan, they can't just ignore the life and death of their own disciples, right?

"You two should follow Master Dingyi and kill more demons from the Demon Cult."

Before leaving, Le Hou gave Lu Nanxing and another disciple of the Songshan School some instructions.

The two people exchanged by Songshan Sect were Lu Nanxing and another peripheral disciple.

"Yes."

The two men responded. Lu Nanxing looked respectful on the surface, but he was sneering in his heart.

Why kill any monster? Of course, saving your own life is the most important thing!
Even though they were just a mob, there were a lot of them after all. He would let these nuns rush to the front while he would finish off the enemies and pick up the leftovers from behind, which would save face.

Le Hou led his men around to the back, while Lu Nanxing followed the people from Hengshan Sect and waited quietly in the front.

After more than half an hour, the agreed time of midnight has arrived. "Go!"

Master Dingyi drew out her sword, snorted, and ran straight to the gate of the Demon Sect's branch.

A group of Hengshan disciples, including the younger Yi Lin, followed closely behind with serious expressions.

Lu Nanxing also followed, but just as he had thought, he hung at the back not too far away.

As for the other outer disciple of Songshan Sect, perhaps because he was hot-headed or wanted to be a hero in front of the little nun from Hengshan Sect, he rushed forward quite a bit.

"who!"

Although it was late at night, as the main gate of the Demon Cult's branch, how could it be unguarded?

He was startled when he saw a group of people suddenly rushing towards him with swords in their hands.

With a loud shout, he drew his weapon in panic, preparing to sound the alarm.

Puff~!

But before they could strike the gong, Master Dingyi used her lightness skills to leap in front of them. She stretched out her hand and stabbed with two sword shadows, killing both of them.

Then, without any pause, he rushed straight into the gate.

The key to this surprise attack was speed. Once the attack was launched, there was no delay at all.

Kill as many enemies as possible before they can react!

By the time the enemy came to their senses, more than half of them had been killed or wounded. They were a motley crowd and had no courage to fight again. They would surely flee in panic.

By then we will pursue the victory, even if we cannot wipe out all the members of this cult, we will be able to kill most of them!

Master Dingyi has already rushed in, and the Hengshan disciples behind her will certainly not fall behind.

Lu Nanxing was still hanging behind and finally entered the mansion.

"Ok?"

As soon as he rushed in, Lu Nanxing couldn't help but frown.

In the huge house, there was not even a fire, and it was pitch black.

Moreover, the surroundings were unusually quiet, without even the sound of insects.

When Lu Nanxing went into the mountains to collect herbs, if he suddenly heard no sound, it must be that there was a ferocious beast nearby.

"not good!"

Lu Nanxing’s eyes suddenly widened. Something was wrong here!

At the same time, you have to retreat quickly.

Swish swish~!

Lu Nanxing had just taken two steps back when a sound of breaking air suddenly rang out!
Dense crossbow arrows shot in from all directions.

Puff~!

Caught off guard, the Songshan Sect outer disciple who was too close to the front was shot into a hedgehog in an instant. Two other Hengshan Sect disciples were also injured to varying degrees.

Master Dingyi was an expert in martial arts. Although she was at the front, she was able to block the water with her sword and prevent it from penetrating, so she was not injured.

"Get out!"

This was clearly a trap. Master Dingyi shouted loudly and was about to lead her men back.

Bang~!

But there was no chance. With a loud bang, the door was closed.

For a moment, everyone was trapped in the yard, like a turtle in a jar!
