Wuxia: Become the 100-Victory Sword King at the Beginning

Chapter 234. The Turmoil on the Grasslands: Shi Feiyang Slays the Dragon in Seven Steps and Destroys the Bandit's Den

Shi Feiyang and the other heroes leaped onto their horses, their hooves galloping, kicking up a trail of dust, heading straight for the Guifeng Mountain branch of the Xiong Ying Society. Their horses moved like arrows released from a bow, their hooves thundering as they swiftly traversed the vast plains, raising clouds of dust.

It was midsummer, the sun was blazing, and the sunlight was as hot as fire, pouring down on the earth without reservation, as if to melt everything.

The sun hung high in the azure sky, its rays piercing through the clouds, illuminating every inch of land as if it were daytime, making it difficult to look directly at it.

The air was thick with heat, and even the occasional breeze was scorching, making the stuffiness even more intense.

Even under the shade of the trees, it was hard to find any coolness; even the wind seemed lazy, unwilling to carry away the suffocating heat.

Guifeng Mountain in Liaodong is majestic and precipitous, resembling a sleeping dragon lying across the earth.

The mountains rise and fall in a continuous line, with strangely shaped rocks, some like sharp swords piercing the sky, others like fierce beasts crouching on the ground ready to pounce.

The mountain is shrouded in mist, appearing and disappearing intermittently, adding to its mystery and majesty.

The mountain is covered with lush vegetation and shady trees. Although the branches and leaves curl slightly under the scorching sun, they still grow tenaciously. The verdant trees contrast sharply with the rugged rocks, showcasing the tenacious vitality of nature.

At the foot of the mountain, a clear stream meanders, its waters shimmering in the sunlight and gurgling as it tells the ancient story of Guifeng Mountain.

The pebbles along the stream are smooth as mirrors from the flowing water, reflecting the surrounding scenery in a breathtaking way.

Wildflowers bloom freely along the stream, some as red as fire, some as pink as the sunset, and some as white as snow, creating a vibrant tapestry of colors that adds a splash of brilliance to the hot summer day. Their fragrance drifts on the breeze, attracting bees and butterflies to gather nectar, creating a scene brimming with life.

The Liaodong Guifeng Mountain branch of the Xiong Ying Association is like a dazzling pearl, quietly embedded in this beautiful landscape of green mountains and clear waters.

The branch's architectural style is simple and elegant, blending harmoniously with the surrounding natural landscape and showcasing a unique charm.

Surrounded by rolling green mountains, a verdant barrier meticulously sculpted by nature; clear streams meander through, their murmuring sounds like melodious music, adding vitality and tranquility to this land.

The chirping of birds in the mountains rises and falls, intertwining with the sound of the stream to create a natural symphony that soothes the soul.

Branch leader Liu Guihua, with a figure as slender as a willow swaying in the breeze, graceful and charming, like the most beautiful scenery in nature.

She stood early at the branch office entrance, her light purple dress swaying gently in the wind, like blooming flowers in spring, adding a touch of splendor to the tranquil morning.

Her stunningly beautiful face was now etched with a complex expression, a mixture of excitement and melancholy, like dark clouds and rosy clouds dancing together in the sky, creating an indescribably beautiful scene.

Her eyes were like a deep autumn lake, clear yet containing hidden waves.

Her eyes held both a deep anticipation for Shi Feiyang's arrival and endless self-reproach and regret, like a sharp knife constantly piercing her heart and preventing her from finding peace.

Looking back, when Shi Feiyang was seriously ill, she made a mistake due to her youthful weakness and confusion, choosing to leave him, tearing their once beautiful married life to shreds and leaving behind irreparable regrets.

Today, Shi Feiyang is famous throughout the world. With his outstanding demeanor and high spirits, he is surrounded by several beauties who are as beautiful as celestial beings, making him the focus of attention in the martial arts world.

This situation filled Liu Guihua with a bitter feeling. She was secretly saddened and couldn't help but think: Time flows by, and the world has changed. Will I, Liu Guihua, still have a chance to reunite with Shi Feiyang?

Her heart was filled with uncertainty and confusion.

Upon hearing that the Grand Master Shi Feiyang was about to arrive, Liu Dayou and his wife Qin Yuanyao were overjoyed, like parched seedlings receiving rain, their hearts filled with anticipation and excitement.

Liu Dayou's dark face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe tomato. He rubbed his hands together excitedly, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Yuan Yao, the arrival of the Grand Master is an unparalleled honor for our Guifeng Mountain branch. We must do everything in our power to express our respect and reverence for him with the most sincere intentions and the most comprehensive hospitality."

His words were filled with admiration for Shi Feiyang and anticipation for the upcoming event.

Qin Yuanyao's lips curled up slightly, forming a gentle and tender smile. Her eyes shone with a firm light, and her tone was full of respect and gratitude: "Of course, the Grand Master has been incredibly kind and affectionate to the brothers and sisters of our Xiong Ying Society's Guifeng Branch. He went to great lengths to come and visit us, so we should do our best to present him with the best of everything."

Not long after, Shi Feiyang and his entourage arrived at the Guifeng Mountain branch in a grand procession.

The sound of horses' hooves rose and fell, and the dust they raised resembled a golden mist that filled the air.

Liu Dayou and Qin Yuanyao hurriedly stepped forward, their movements perfectly synchronized. They knelt on one knee, their posture extremely respectful, and shouted in unison, "Your subordinates Liu Dayou and Qin Yuanyao respectfully welcome the Grand Master!"

Their voices were loud and clear, echoing through the valley for a long time, as if the valley itself was extending the warmest welcome to this distinguished guest.

Upon seeing this, Shi Feiyang quickly dismounted, strode forward, and helped Liu Dayou and Qin Yuanyao up with both hands.

He smiled warmly and said gently, "Dayou, Yuanyao, we are all family, no need for such formalities. I was overjoyed to hear that you had a son, so I came to offer my congratulations."

Liu Dayou's face was full of joy, like a flower blooming in spring, and his gratitude was overflowing: "Thank you for your concern, Master. The birth of my son is truly due to the good deeds of my Liu family ancestors, and also thanks to the great blessings of the Master."

At this moment, Liu Guihua moved lightly and slowly forward, her steps as graceful as if she were strolling among flowers.

Her eyes were slightly red, like flower petals dampened by morning dew, tears welling up in them, her voice trembling slightly, like the chill of late autumn: "Chief..."

Shi Feiyang looked up at her, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, as if reminiscing or feeling sentimental. He said softly, "Guihua, it's been a long time."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guihua slowly lowered her head, like a frightened fawn, not daring to look directly into Shi Feiyang's eyes. The guilt in her heart was like a surging tide, completely overwhelming her: "Chief, I'm sorry... I..." Before she could finish speaking, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, flowing freely down her fair cheeks like an unstoppable mountain stream.

Shi Feiyang sighed softly, a sigh that seemed to travel through a time tunnel, carrying endless vicissitudes and relief: "Let the past drift away like smoke. Now, we have all embarked on different paths in life."

Just then, Lin Wanqing walked gracefully towards them, her steps light and airy, like a fairy descending to earth. She was carrying her son in her arms.

Her face was gentle, and the tenderness in her eyes was almost mesmerizing. She spoke softly, "Feiyang, Guihua left you back then because she was too young, only seventeen years old, naive and ignorant. She gave you the best years of her youth without reservation. I brought the child to the Guifeng branch this time in the hope of helping you two reconcile. I sincerely hope that you and Guihua can put aside your past grievances and walk hand in hand again."

Lin Wanqing's words were like a gentle spring breeze, warm and sincere, fully demonstrating her gentleness and kindness.

The heroes seemed to have a tacit understanding with Lin Wanqing, and they understood each other perfectly.

They exchanged a knowing glance, silently reaching a consensus and preparing to welcome the joyous moment to come.

In the blink of an eye, everyone quickly brought out the carefully prepared wedding robes, which were brightly colored and exquisitely embroidered.

Every stitch and thread reveals the maker's painstaking efforts and conveys best wishes for the newlyweds.

They gently draped the red robes over Liu Guihua and Shi Feiyang respectively. Then, with kind smiles on their faces, the crowd pushed Shi Feiyang to embrace Liu Guihua and escorted the two towards the bridal chamber.

The red of their wedding robes complemented the smiles on their faces, adding to the festive atmosphere of this special day.

For a moment, laughter and cheerful voices flowed freely through the branch like a joyful stream, filled with happiness and warmth.

Everyone's face was beaming with happiness, and all worries and sorrows were dispelled by the festive atmosphere.

Liu Dayou and Qin Yuanyao seemed to have already received the message sent by Lin Wanqing, and everything was ready.

They stood in a corner of the courtyard, smiling as they watched everything before them, their hearts filled with anticipation and satisfaction.

The courtyard was filled with a sumptuous wedding feast, with a dazzling array of delicacies and fragrant aromas that made one's mouth water.

Each dish is carefully prepared, not only delicious and visually appealing, but also carrying auspicious meanings, praying for the newlyweds' future.

Instantly, the Guifeng branch became bustling with activity, like a sea of ​​joy.

The heroes and disciples raised their glasses, loudly celebrating Shi Feiyang and Liu Guihua's reunion. They toasted each other, offering blessings, and the entire branch was filled with joy and harmony.

At the wedding banquet, Xiang Kun, the "Iron Flute Scholar," held a wine glass, beaming with smiles, and said loudly, "It is truly a great blessing in my life to be able to gather with all of you brothers and sisters today. Looking back on our wanderings in the vast waves of the martial world, experiencing countless storms, it is rare to have such a wonderful time of gathering together."

"Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wenyi nodded in agreement, his eyes brimming with joy: "Indeed, in this picturesque Guifeng Mountain, drinking and chatting with my brothers, we can temporarily forget the conflicts and troubles of the martial world and fully enjoy the happiness of this moment."

In Guifeng Mountain, a place imbued with endless charm by nature, this group of江湖儿女 (people of the martial arts world) found a paradise.

They sat around the campfire, holding wine glasses, chatting about interesting stories from their adventures and sharing their experiences.

Laughter and cheers echoed through the mountains, and even the birds and beasts in the forests felt the joy and joined in this night-long feast.

Everyone raised their glasses, the crisp, pleasant clinking of the glasses as they shared a toast, immersed in the rare joy and celebratory atmosphere. The aroma of wine mingled with laughter, creating a warm and harmonious scene.

In this mountain forest gently caressed by the moonlight, they seemed to be in a dreamland far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world, leaving all their worries and troubles behind. Night fell like a huge black ribbon, quietly covering the Guifeng Mountain branch.

The moonlight spilled into every corner of the branch headquarters, adding a touch of mystery and romance to this special night.

The moonlight was like water, the mountain breeze was gentle, and even time seemed to stand still at this moment, making people feel intoxicated and mesmerized.

Inside the bridal chamber, red candles flickered, casting dappled light and shadow, making the entire room feel warm and romantic.

Liu Guihua sat quietly on the edge of the bed, shyness and anticipation intertwined in her eyes. Her long, glossy black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her skin was as white as snow and as delicate as porcelain. In the candlelight, her beauty gained an added touch of softness and mystery.

In the candlelight, her face appeared even more beautiful and charming, like a rose blooming in the dark night.

Her eyes sparkled with happiness; at that moment, all her waiting and anticipation received the most beautiful response.

Her heart was filled with longing for the future, faith in love, and a love for life.

Shi Feiyang walked slowly to her side and sat down gently. Their eyes met, and a thousand words were conveyed in that silent gaze.

Shi Feiyang gently held Liu Guihua's hand; her hands were soft and warm.

At that moment, their hearts seemed to be intertwined, and their breaths and heartbeats became so clear and tangible.

Liu Guihua trembled slightly, tears welling in her eyes, and whispered, "Feiyang, I..."

Shi Feiyang gently interrupted her: "Guihua, the past is the past. From now on, we will walk together."

Liu Guihua nodded slightly, tears welling up in her eyes—tears of happiness this time.

On this warm wedding night, two hearts that had once been wounded finally clung to each other once more.

In the warm and tranquil bridal chamber, Shi Feiyang and Liu Guihua slowly lay down together, gently slipping into the soft quilt.

Liu Guihua's cheeks were flushed, like the most beautiful peach blossoms in spring, her expression full of happiness and sweetness. She tilted her head slightly, gazing affectionately at Shi Feiyang, her eyes sparkling as if they held a sky full of stars.

Shi Feiyang looked back at her tenderly, his hands gently encircling her waist, their breaths mingling together.

In this tranquil moment, the hustle and bustle of the world vanished without a trace. They were completely immersed in each other's happiness, and time itself seemed to stand still.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, round and full like a jade plate, pouring out its clear, watery light.

The soft moonlight shone through the delicate window lattice, like a silver veil, gently covering Shi Feiyang and Liu Guihua, who were leaning on each other, and draping them in a mysterious and romantic glow.

Bathed in moonlight, Liu Guihua's smile shone even brighter, like the brightest star in the night sky.

She rested her head gently against Shi Feiyang's chest, feeling his steady and strong heartbeat, and whispered to him, "Feiyang, being able to reconcile with you is the greatest happiness of my life. In the past, I was confused and missed too much time with you. Now, I swear I will never let happiness slip through my fingers again."

Shi Feiyang gently stroked her hair and responded tenderly, "Guihua, let bygones be bygones. Now we're joining hands again, and in the days to come, we'll stay close together and never be apart."

The following morning, the gentle sunlight shone on the Guifeng Mountain branch, adding warmth and vitality to this tranquil place.

Liu Guihua got up early, her face still radiating happiness, like a peach blossom blooming even more beautifully in the morning dew, stunningly beautiful.

Filled with love, she personally cooked a sumptuous meal for Shi Feiyang and Lin Wanqing.

In the kitchen, the stove was burning brightly, and Liu Guihua moved nimbly and skillfully.

Before long, a table full of delicacies from the mountains was laid out, a dazzling array of dishes, with an enticing aroma that made one's mouth water.

Each dish embodies her love for life and her beautiful expectations for the future.

Liu Guihua raised her wine glass, her eyes full of respect, and walked up to Lin Wanqing. Her voice was soft but full of affection: "Sister Lin, it is all thanks to you that I was able to get back together with Feiyang. I am extremely grateful. This glass is for you, and I wish you a smooth, happy and healthy life."

Her words were filled with gratitude for Lin Wanqing, as if all her gratitude and respect were condensed in this glass of wine at that moment.

Lin Wanqing quickly stood up, grasped Liu Guihua's hands tightly, and replied with a smile, "Sister, you are too modest. We are of the same origin. I am also very happy that Feiyang has reconciled with you. In the future, the two of us sisters will definitely support each other, accompany Feiyang, and spend time together."

Her words revealed her sincere feelings for Liu Guihua, as well as her expectations and hopes for a better future.

Witnessing this heartwarming scene, Shi Feiyang was filled with joy and said with a smile, "It is my blessing to have the two of you by my side. In the future, let's walk hand in hand and make our days more and more wonderful."

His voice was filled with anticipation for the future and gratitude for his two wives. At that moment, all happiness and bliss were embodied in the smiles of the three of them.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Shi Feiyang gathered everyone and announced an important appointment: "Liu Dayou, you have been diligent and responsible in the Guifeng Mountain branch and have outstanding abilities. Effective immediately, you are appointed as the leader of the Liaodong Guifeng Mountain branch of the Xiong Ying Society. I hope you will continue to lead the brothers to develop and expand the branch."

His voice was filled with trust and expectation for Liu Dayou; at this moment, all hope and expectation were focused on Liu Dayou. Liu Dayou knelt on one knee and responded passionately, "Thank you for your trust, Master. I will do my utmost and live up to your mission!" His voice was filled with gratitude for Shi Feiyang and anticipation for the future; at this moment, all passion and determination were focused on him.

Shi Feiyang then turned to Xiang Kun and said earnestly, "Xiang Kun, you are a steady and talented person. Given the emotional trauma you suffered in the Xiao Lingling incident, it is not advisable for you to return to the Jiangnan headquarters at the moment. Therefore, I appoint you as the leader of the Liaodong Yingzuiyan branch of the Xiong Ying Society. Rest well there and contribute to the branch."

His voice was filled with care and expectations for Xiang Kun; at that moment, all his care and expectations were focused on Xiang Kun.

Xiang Kun bowed respectfully and said gratefully, "Thank you for your concern, Master. I will do my best to fulfill my duties."

His voice was filled with gratitude for Shi Feiyang and anticipation for the future; at this moment, all gratitude and determination were concentrated in him. Shi Feiyang, hand in hand with his two beloved wives, Lin Wanqing and Liu Guihua, held their precious son, whose face was full of tenderness, tightly embracing him.

Beside him stood Miao Menlong, the "sharp archer," with his upright posture, carrying a quiver full of arrows on his back. His eyes were resolute, revealing his courage to hit the bullseye at any moment.

"Plum Blossom Dart" Shan Zhi had a hidden weapon pouch hanging at his waist, his hands occasionally stroking it, as if caressing a deadly weapon about to be drawn; "Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen had piercing eyes, looking around and not missing any detail.

The young pageboy, Shi Xiong, stood obediently to the side, carrying his bag and looking on with anticipation.

The group mounted their horses, which neighed and reared up, displaying impressive power.

The sound of horses' hooves, like a dense drumbeat, raised a trail of billowing dust.

They embarked on this long journey from east to west, their goal set on Bozhou. With unwavering conviction, they were determined to assist the government troops in quelling the rebellion and rescuing the people from their suffering.

To avoid attracting attention, Shi Feiyang and his group disguised themselves as a caravan and slowly traveled along the vast Northwest grasslands.

The summer grassland is like a fairy with a fickle temperament.

Sometimes the sky is clear and the blazing sun pours down without reservation, shining on the lush green grass. The tips of the grass shimmer with golden light, like a golden ocean. A gentle breeze blows, creating layers of golden waves.

At times, dark clouds would gather rapidly, their inky blackness converging like a surging tide, accompanied by thunderous roars, as if the gods were beating drums in the clouds.

Immediately afterwards, a torrential downpour began, with large raindrops pounding on the grassland, splashing up droplets and draping the land in a hazy, mysterious veil. Amidst this picturesque and ever-changing scenery, Shi Feiyang and his group rode leisurely along.

The wind on the grassland, like a gentle hand, carries a faint scent of grass and lightly brushes against their faces, telling the ancient stories of the grassland.

In the distance, the mountains stretch endlessly, like a sleeping dragon winding its way to the horizon, connecting with the vast sky, and like the solid spine of the earth, silently maintaining the tranquility and harmony of this land.

Nearby, flocks of white sheep are scattered across the grassland like stars, leisurely chewing on the grass and occasionally bleating; cattle drink water at the clear river, their huge bodies reflected in the water, swaying gently with the ripples. Everything seems so peaceful and beautiful, like a paradise on earth.

After several years of misunderstandings and disagreements, Liu Guihua and Shi Feiyang finally reconciled, and their relationship became even stronger.

At this moment, they were in an exceptionally good mood, and the gloom of the past had long since vanished without a trace.

When they camped along the way, a spacious tent was set up, where Shi Feiyang, Liu Guihua, Lin Wanqing and their son lived together.

Shi Feiyang solemnly took out the "Five Poisons True Scripture," spread it out in front of the two beauties, and said, "On this trip to Bozhou, I heard that the Five Poisons Sect is rampant. This 'Five Poisons True Scripture' may be able to help you defend yourselves. Study it carefully in case of need."

Liu Guihua gently stroked the scripture, her eyes resolute: "With this scripture, if there is a real conflict with the Five Poisons Sect, I will definitely not let myself or my family be harmed."

Lin Wanqing nodded slightly and said softly, "Thank you, husband. My sister Guihua and I will definitely cultivate diligently."

After saying that, Shi Feiyang took out the elixir left by Xu Fu and handed it to Liu Guihua, Lin Wanqing and his son respectively, saying, "This elixir is extremely precious. Taking it will strengthen your body, increase your power a hundredfold, and make you immune to all poisons, ensuring your safety."

Then, Shi Feiyang gently took out his younger sister, Xiao Yuyan, from a deerskin bag at his waist that was barely noticeable to ordinary people.

Little Yuyan is four years old. She has a cute and playful appearance, and her eyes are like bright stars.

As soon as she came out, she saw Lin Wanqing's seven or eight-month-old son in her arms. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly stepped forward, squatted down beside him, and murmured to herself, "Oh my, my little nephew is so cute. Come here, let Auntie hold him."

As she spoke, she reached out her little hand, wanting to hold the baby.

The baby giggled and waved its little hands, as if responding to its aunt.

Seeing how adorable the baby was, Xiao Yuyan couldn't help but gently pinch his cheek and said coquettishly, "You little rascal, you smile so much, do you know your auntie likes you?"

The heroes of Xiong Ying were also setting foot on this beautiful grassland for the first time, and each of them was filled with wonder.

Liu Guihua carried Xiao Yuyan on her back, mounted her horse, and rode alongside Lin Wanqing. Liu Guihua smiled and said to Lin Wanqing, "Sister Lin, the scenery on the grassland is so beautiful. This trip together will surely leave us with many wonderful memories."

Lin Wanqing smiled and replied, "Yes, Guihua, with you by my side and the lovely children, this journey will surely be incredibly heartwarming."

As she spoke, Liu Guihua turned to the side, and the nimble, snake-like whip in her hand gently touched the baby's small hand in Lin Wanqing's arms. The baby giggled, and the clear laughter echoed across the grassland, adding warmth and joy to this long journey.

However, the peaceful journey did not last long.

One evening, as the setting sun painted the grassland golden, Shi Feiyang and his group were preparing to find a suitable place to set up camp.

Suddenly, a low, mournful wolf howl echoed from afar, reverberating across the vast grassland.

Miao Menlong, the "Divine Archer," tensed up, gripping his bow tightly. He said, "Chief, judging from that sound, a pack of wolves is coming."

Shi Feiyang looked into the distance and saw a series of dark figures moving slowly in the distance, many of them.

He immediately ordered: "Everyone stay alert, form a circular defensive formation, and protect the women and children."

The group quickly sprang into action, surrounding the horses and forming a barrier.

Lin Wanqing hugged her son tightly, her eyes showing a hint of tension, but more so a firm resolve.

Liu Guihua put Xiao Yuyan down from her back and protected her behind her. She then drew a long whip from her waist, the tip of which swayed gently in the wind.

Xiao Yuyan opened her eyes wide, looking around curiously, muttering, "Wow, is it a wolf? I've never seen one before." Liu Guihua gently scolded, "Xiao Yuyan, don't run around, hide behind your sister-in-law, wolves are fierce."

The wolf pack drew closer, their eyes gleaming with an eerie green light in the moonlight, like will-o'-the-wisps.

The alpha wolf howled to the sky, and the pack of wolves launched an attack instantly, surging in like a black tide.

Holding the Heavenly Frost Blade, Shi Feiyang moved like lightning, leading the charge against the wolf pack.

He roared, "Today I will make sure you wolves never return!" He brandished his sharp blade, its cold light flashing, and instantly killed several wolves.

Miao Menlong drew his bow and nocked an arrow, each shot finding its mark. Sharp arrows whistled as they flew towards the wolf pack, and the wolves struck by the arrows howled in pain.

Dan Zhi seized the opportunity and fired his plum blossom darts, each one hitting a vital spot.

Watching the extraordinary battle with the wolf pack, Lin Wanqing said to Liu Guihua, "Sister Guihua, we can't hold everyone back; we have to protect everyone."

Liu Guihua nodded in response: "Don't worry, Sister Lin, with me here, no one can hurt our people."

As she spoke, she brandished her long whip, the tip of which danced like a serpent, striking the attacking wolves and leaving trails of blood.

Xiao Yuyan hid behind Liu Guihua, watching intently as the heroes fought the wolf pack, muttering, "Drive away the big bad wolf and protect my little nephew." After a fierce battle, the wolf pack gradually lost ground and began to scatter and flee.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Shi Feiyang put away his weapon and asked, "Is everyone alright?" Everyone replied that they were fine.

Liu Guihua picked up Xiaoyuyan and said with a smile, "Xiaoyuyan, were you scared just now?"

Xiao Yuyan shook her head and said excitedly, "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law is so amazing, and the uncles too, they chased away the big bad wolf!"

Hearing this, everyone smiled with relief, packed their belongings, and continued searching for a suitable place to camp. This encounter with the wolf pack added a thrilling touch to their grassland journey.

After setting up camp, the night on the grassland was exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects.

After arranging the shifts, Shi Feiyang rested in the tent.

However, in the middle of the night, the earth suddenly began to shake violently, as if an invisible giant hand was shaking the land.

Shi Feiyang suddenly woke up and rushed out of the tent. He saw cracks appearing on the ground in the distance, and dust was flying everywhere.

"Oh no, it's an earthquake!" Shi Feiyang shouted.

Everyone rushed out of the tent, looking flustered.

Shi Feiyang quickly calmed down and directed everyone: "Don't panic, everyone. Run to open spaces and avoid areas that might collapse!"

Liu Guihua held Xiaoyuyan's hand tightly, while Lin Wanqing hugged her son. Under the protection of the crowd, they ran towards a safe place.

The earth trembled more and more violently, and distant hills began to collapse, with rocks tumbling down like raindrops.

While protecting his family, Shi Feiyang kept an eye on the surrounding situation.

Suddenly, a huge boulder came crashing down on Lin Wanqing. Shi Feiyang reacted quickly, leaping into the air and using his Heavenly Frost Blade to split the boulder in two.

The stone landed, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Husband, be careful!" Liu Guihua shouted. A crack in the ground quickly spread to Shi Feiyang's feet, and before he could dodge, he fell into the crack. "Feiyang!" Lin Wanqing and Liu Guihua cried out in grief.

The crowd gathered around the crack, extremely anxious.

As Shi Feiyang fell, he used his lightness skill to try and steady himself. He saw a protruding rock deep in the crevice, so he leaped up and grabbed it. He looked up and shouted, "I'm alright, don't worry!"

Miao Menlong and Shan Zhi were extremely anxious, their eyes scanning the surroundings intently, and finally they found a thick and strong rope.

The two quickly lowered one end of the rope into the deep, terrifying crevice, shouting, "Chief, grab the rope!"

Shi Feiyang, standing in the crevice, used his extraordinary lightness skill to nimbly flip and dart through the air like a swallow. Seizing the opportunity, he suddenly reached out his right hand, gripped the rope tightly, and shouted, "Pull me up!"

With everyone working together, gritting their teeth, and beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads, the ropes were taut and creaking. Through their tireless efforts, Shi Feiyang finally broke through the water and returned to the surface.

As soon as Shi Feiyang's feet touched the ground, before he could even catch his breath, he looked up and saw a group of horsemen galloping towards him like a black tide, raising clouds of dust in the distance.

These men were all armed with gleaming weapons, their faces contorted with rage and their expressions hostile. "Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen, with his keen eyes, observed them carefully and said gravely, "Chief, judging from their attire, they must be notorious bandits from the grasslands."

Upon hearing this, Shi Feiyang's brows furrowed instantly, and he thought to himself: This is truly one problem after another.

He gripped the Frostblade tightly in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly and reflecting his resolute face. He declared loudly, "Everyone, be on high alert! We must not let these villains' plot succeed!"

The bandits drew closer, and the leader was a burly, imposing figure, like a towering mountain.
He rode a tall, powerful horse and let out a chilling laugh: "You bunch of unlucky bastards, you managed to survive an earthquake, but today you've run into our 'Blazing Wind Stronghold,' and your good fortune is completely over! If you know what's good for you, hand over all your valuables, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

This man was none other than Baturu, the chieftain of the Biaofeng Village. He came from the "Kuangfeng Clan" in Mongolia and was skilled in a set of "Kuangfeng Saber Techniques." The large saber in his hand was as thick as an ordinary person's arm, with a heavy blade that exuded a cold aura.

Shi Feiyang snorted coldly, his voice seemingly coming from the deepest hell, full of disdain and majesty: "You bunch of rabble dare to covet our wealth? Hmph! I, Shi, will make sure you dogs don't even know how you die."

After saying that, he moved like lightning and charged towards the bandits.

Shi Feiyang unleashed the "Seven Steps of Dragon Walk," a peerless technique from the Divine Dragon Claw Kung Fu specifically designed to deal with group fights. With each step he took, a powerful aura spread outwards like surging waves, raising dust wherever he went, as if stirred up by an invisible force.

His figure flashed, like a black lightning bolt weaving through the bandits. With each swing of his Heavenly Frost Blade, countless bandits fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere, and the world was shrouded in a bloody mist.

Upon seeing this, Baturu's eyes widened in anger, and he roared as he brandished his broadsword, unleashing the "Whirlwind Blade Technique" to slash at Shi Feiyang.

The wind howled like a fierce gale, seemingly about to tear everything around it apart.

Shi Feiyang remained calm and easily dodged Baturu's fierce attack with a swift movement.

Immediately afterward, he unleashed the "Shocking Eyes Calamity" divine skill. His eyes widened, and a sharp light shot out from them, a light so tangible it seemed to pierce directly into Baturu's eyes. Baturu felt a sharp pain before his eyes and instinctively closed them.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shi Feiyang pressed forward, his Heavenly Frost Blade flashing coldly as he unleashed a move from the Hundred Victories Blade Technique called "Wind-Breaking Style." The blade, as white as frost, instantly sliced ​​across Baturu's neck.

Baturu let out a muffled roar, slowly falling from his horse, blood gushing out like a fountain, staining the surrounding grass red.

Wuliji, the second-in-command of Biaofeng Village, comes from the "Benlei Hall" and is skilled in "Benlei Fist". He holds a pair of copper hammers, each weighing tens of kilograms.

Seeing Baturu's tragic death, he was filled with grief and rage. Wielding his bronze hammer, he charged towards Shi Feiyang like a mad bull. He unleashed the "Thunderous Might" move from the "Thunder Hammer Technique," his two hammers whistling through the air as they smashed towards Shi Feiyang like cannonballs.

Shi Feiyang turned around, dodging the attack with the lightness of a willow catkin. At the same time, he used the third step of the "Seven Steps of Dragon's Journey". He leaped high into the air, circled once in the air like a dragon emerging from the sea, and then fell down suddenly. His right claw was like a sharp steel knife, directly piercing into Uliji's chest and breaking Uliji's sternum.

Uliji let out a shrill scream, and the copper hammer in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang." He collapsed, blood gushing out and staining the grass crimson.
