Sword Sect Outer Sect

Chapter 157 Lakeside Melee
Previously, although the forces of Zuowang Peak and Tongchen Peak did not get along, Wu Shuangzhi was unwilling to give in the slightest after she had already obtained a fruit.

This inadvertently led to a tacit cooperation between the two sides, who began to jointly suppress these female disciples.

However, what they did not expect was that, driven by the spiritual resources and youthful beauty, these women were all fearless and ruthless.

Every move was a desperate gamble.

Originally, in this small cave realm, no matter how angry everyone was, they could only break through the protective spiritual energy and seize the spirit pattern jade tablet to eliminate their opponents.

These women were clearly enraged, and they were basically aiming to seriously injure their opponents and eliminate them.

Wu Shuangzhi wielded a water-flowing flying sword, using it to restrict the enemy's movements while helping the other female cultivators control the battlefield.

On the one hand, they also look for opportunities to seize the spirit pattern jade tablet, or simply severely injure a few cultivators who speak rudely.

After several battles, she was also running out of steam.

Wu Shuangzhi was not an outstanding female disciple of Lianyou Peak; she was just an ordinary one with nothing special about her.

Previously, when I encountered these sisters from different peaks traveling together, none of the others had much experience in fighting with others.

She was the only one who had participated in the Changping incident, so the other disciples regarded her as their leader.

This was the first time she had ever felt the weight of being entrusted with such an important task.

So she didn't want to lose.

Using his spiritual power, a wave surged up from the clear river on the lake, violently scattering the surrounding cultivators.

"...Sisters!"

The remaining two female cultivators quickly approached, and the three of them formed a ring formation back to back.

Although none of them were in good condition, none of them showed any fear.

“We have been entangled here for quite some time, and there must be countless other cultivators watching from the sidelines.”

"Let's conserve our strength. Maybe someone will join the battle. Then we can seize the beauty fruit and escape separately."

"it is good!"

Wu Shuangzhi forced herself to calm down and think about how she could at least get these sisters who trusted her out of trouble.

But inexplicably, the image of a certain person appeared in my mind.

"If it were Senior Brother Song..."

"What would he do?"

The image of that boy who died and came back to life on the White Bone Mountain in the Ghost Realm of Changping is still vivid in my mind.

It inexplicably filled her with determination.

"We are both ordinary cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining and both have three spiritual roots, yet Senior Brother Song was able to fight his way out of a desperate situation."

"What I'm facing is just an ordinary battle, so why can't I lead my sisters out of this encirclement?!"

She glared fiercely at the people from Tongchen Peak and Zuowang Peak, ready to make a move at any moment.

And at this moment, on the opposite side.

The leader of Zuowang Peak, however, had a grim face.

They originally thought that the two peaks working together would easily defeat a few weak female cultivators.

Things were not as simple as they seemed.

As they initially thought, the female cultivators had no combat experience and could easily find an opportunity to be sent away.

However, Wu Shuangzhi's water-based magic was extremely reliable, combining both crowd control and defense.

This only made the female disciples more and more confident as they fought.

They weren't there to compete for any rankings.

Like most ordinary disciples, he simply wanted to broaden his horizons, gain experience in fighting others, and seize some spiritual resources, acting without any scruples.

Zuowang Peak lost three fellow disciples before they could barely suppress this group of crazy women.

Tongchen Peak fared even worse; of the five who entered, only two remained standing.

One of the disciples, clutching his wound, whispered tremblingly, "Senior brother, perhaps we... should retreat..."

"fart!"

The senior brother from Tongchen Peak glared angrily, clearly furious: "You've lost three junior brothers, and you think you can just leave like that? Today, we must—"

Before he finished speaking, something strange happened.

Three figures emerged from the dense forest by the lake.

Li Qingfeng took the lead, opening his palms wide and unleashing five flames that flew straight towards the disciples of Tongchen Peak and Zuowang Peak.

Gu Qingqing stepped into the battlefield with her two senior brothers, feeling that she was also the center of attention.

She chuckled and bowed to Wu Shuangzhi and the other female students she didn't recognize.

None of the three groups understood what these three people were there for.

But then they saw Sun Zhengfu walking straight toward the direction of the red fruit.

"Go away!"

The cultivator from Tongchen Peak lunged forward, about to stop him. Sun Zhengfu swung his arm, releasing a talisman and touching it with his fingertip.

boom!
The fire serpent shot out and destroyed the opponent's protective aura.

Before the others could react, he made a hand seal, and the land by the lake suddenly surged like waves, separating the three groups of people who were exhausted.

Gu Qingqing lightly leaped to the side of the vermilion fruit tree, raised her small hand, and picked a beauty fruit.

"Shameless!"

Wu Shuangzhi shouted angrily, and her flying sword shone brightly, heading straight for Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing is currently only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Although she lives on Lianyou Peak, she is still an outer disciple.

Wu Shuangzhi didn't recognize her and only thought she was a petty fruit thief who took advantage of others' misfortune.

"Mom!"

Gu Qingqing turned and ran.

However, at this very moment, the situation changed again.

Deep in the dense forest, two more teams that had been hiding for a long time suddenly appeared.

The five people on the left are disciples of Taiping Peak, and the three people on the right are disciples of Shijian Peak.

They had all planned to wait until all three were severely injured before reaping the benefits, but unexpectedly, Li Qingfeng and his two companions seized the initiative.

Even more incredibly, they actually managed to pick one!

If we keep waiting like this, we won't get any profit at all.

With so many people suddenly appearing, those who were about to make a move stopped one by one.

The situation was tense for a while.

The nineteen cultivators were wary of each other, and none of them dared to make any rash moves.

Suddenly, Li Qingfeng raised his hands high and said loudly, "Fellow practitioners, listen to what I have to say!"

"Fighting and killing will damage the bonds between fellow disciples. How about this—"

"Om-"

Unexpectedly, the cultivators of Taiping Peak were the first to break the deadlock.

They had the numerical advantage and didn't want to prolong the stalemate and waste time.

A melee breaks out.

Furthermore, many cultivators are continuously heading this way...

At this moment, there are still more than 1,400 people left in the Sword Wiping World.

……

"One, two, three... six."

"Six Cold Moon Grasses".

Beside a small, cold pool in the mountains.

With no one around, Song Yan leisurely began gathering spiritual herbs.

With its emerald green stems and pure white, crescent-shaped petals, it is indeed the Cold Moon Grass.

This herb has a wide range of uses, especially in the production of elixirs.

At this moment, the numbers on the jade pendant at Song Yan's waist had changed.

"five."

Along the way, we have already seen four fellow disciples pass away.

He took out the map again; they weren't far from the lake called Qingjiangping.

"Ok?"

He was taken aback; the light markers in the vicinity were a bit too dense.

It is clear that a large-scale melee is breaking out.

"So many people..."

Song Yan unleashed his sword energy and activated his Soaring Cloud Intent Technique, immediately leaping towards Qingjiangping.

With a light touch of his toes on the treetops, he darted through the ancient forest like an arrow.

The sounds of explosions and shouts from not far away grew clearer and clearer. When he leaped to the top of a towering tree, the entire scene of Qingjiangping came into view.

"Qingfeng...Senior Brother Sun..."

"Wait, who brought this Junior Sister Qingqing here?"

Song Yan stared blankly at Gu Qingqing scurrying away in the chaotic battlefield.
