Chapter 89 Night Temple

As night fell, Wang Anping finally arrived in Jiangning County.

Exhausted from days of travel and the continuous drizzle, he found a dilapidated temple by the roadside to rest.

This dilapidated temple has been abandoned for many years, with a leaky roof and weeds growing in the corners.

The ground was littered with broken tiles and withered branches; the dilapidated temple could barely provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Wang Anping tied his horse to the old locust tree outside the temple gate, went into the dilapidated temple, and picked up some dry branches.

Light the fire with a tinderbox, and the bonfire blazed, illuminating the small, dilapidated temple and bringing a touch of warmth.

He sat by the campfire, took out some dry rations, and ate them slowly.

His eyes scanned the outside of the temple warily, constantly watching for any movement around him.

In chaotic times, if you spend the night in a dilapidated temple, you are bound to encounter petty thieves or soldiers who are not careful.

As night deepened, the drizzle continued, and the sounds of wind and rain drifted in from outside the temple, creating an exceptionally quiet atmosphere.

Just as Wang Anping finished his dry rations and was about to close his eyes to meditate, footsteps sounded outside the temple gate.

The silence was shattered by the man's shout and the girl's whispers.

A man dressed in a blue Taoist robe, accompanied by two young men dressed in pink skirts, strode into the dilapidated temple.

The man had a handsome face and a hint of arrogance between his brows.

He had a sword at his waist, his aura was steady, he was about twenty years old, and his cultivation was about the late stage of Dark Force.

The two girls were young, around fifteen or sixteen years old, with slightly weaker auras, but possessed the strength of the Ming Jin level. They should be disciples who had recently joined the sect.

The three of them were covered in dust and rain, clearly having traveled a long way to get here.

Before Wang Anping could speak, the man in the blue Taoist robe spoke first.

His gaze swept over Wang Anping with a hint of disdain, then he said to the girl beside him, "Let's rest here for a while, and continue our journey early tomorrow morning."

"Arrive in Liangzhou as soon as possible to assist the imperial court in eliminating those rebellious traitors, and live up to the expectations of your master."

A young girl nodded and said softly, "Senior Brother Li, we came down the mountain this time on the orders of our sect to assist the Great Shun Dynasty in suppressing the Liangzhou rebellion."

However, there are many skilled fighters in Liangzhou, so we must proceed with caution.

"What are you afraid of?"

Senior Brother Li snorted coldly, his tone arrogant.

"Our Green Mountain City is a prestigious and righteous sect with profound martial arts skills, and this time the Grand Elder is leading the team."

These mere rebels are easy to capture.

"Once we quell the rebellion and return to our sect, we will surely receive Master's commendation."

Just then, a series of rough footsteps came from outside the temple gate.

A man dressed in black with a fierce face walked in.

The man was tall and had a fierce look on his face.

He carried a large knife at his waist, exuding a fierce aura.

He was around the mid-stage of the Dark Force realm, and his body exuded a violent aura.

Upon seeing the three people in the temple, his face instantly darkened, and he roared, "Who are you? Get lost! I've taken this spot, don't disturb my rest!"

Upon seeing this, Senior Brother Li's face darkened, and he shouted sternly, "You audacious madman! We are disciples of Qingshan City, ordered by our sect to assist the imperial court in eliminating the rebels in Liangzhou. Who are you?"

The man in black laughed loudly, his tone arrogant: "Oh ho! I'm on my way to Liangzhou to join the Great General."

"I never expected to run into you guys. Perfect, I can kill you and use you as a pledge of loyalty; maybe I can even become a high-ranking official."

Before he finished speaking, the man in black suddenly drew his broadsword from his waist and slashed at Senior Brother Li.

The wind howled, and the force was heavy and fierce.

Senior Brother Li's expression changed, and he quickly drew his sword from his waist, dodged to the side, and then counterattacked.

Swords flashed as they clashed with the man in black.

Not to be outdone, the two girls rang out in clear voices, "Senior brother, we're here to help you!"

Then, they all joined forces with Senior Brother Li to attack the man in black.

For a time, the dilapidated temple was filled with the glint of swords, the sounds of fighting, and the clash of weapons.

Wang Anping sat by the campfire, still meditating with his eyes closed, his expression calm, as if the fight before him had nothing to do with him.

He never wanted to meddle in other people's business; in chaotic times, everyone serves their own master.

Neither the disciples of Qingshan City nor the black-clad man who sought refuge in Liangzhou had any grudge against him.

He just wanted to rest quietly for one night and continue his journey the next day.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the fighting gradually stopped.

The man in black was covered in wounds and lay on the ground, barely breathing, clearly unable to resist.

Senior Brother Li and the two girls were also panting slightly, with some bloodstains on their bodies, but they still maintained an arrogant expression.

Senior Brother Li kicked the man in black, snorted coldly, and said contemptuously, "A mere traitor dares to oppose the disciples of Green Mountain City? He's simply overestimating himself!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Wang Anping and saw that Wang Anping was still sitting in the same place, not moving at all.

As if the fight had never happened, he felt displeased and said sarcastically, "Hey, you ordinary person, you've got guts. In such chaotic times, you dare to walk alone at night."

"You dare to rest in this dilapidated temple? Aren't you afraid of encountering bandits or evil spirits and losing your life?"

The two girls chimed in, their tone dripping with sarcasm: "That's right, an ordinary person with no strength to even kill a chicken dares to roam the world alone? He's practically courting death!"

Wang Anping remained silent, but slowly opened his eyes and calmly glanced at the three of them.

Then he slowly closed his eyes, too lazy to argue with them.

But just then, the temperature inside the dilapidated temple suddenly dropped, and a chilling aura spread out. The campfire instantly became weak, flickered a few times, and almost went out.

Senior Brother Li and the two girls' expressions changed drastically, and they looked flustered.

He quickly gripped his weapon tightly and warily scanned the surroundings of the dilapidated temple.

"What is it?" Senior Brother Li shouted sharply, his tone tinged with fear.

This aura was cold and eerie, definitely not of human origin.

Before the words were finished, a hissing sound came from the corner of the dilapidated temple.

A black figure darted out quickly; it was a black snake as thick as a bucket and several meters long.

Its eyes were bloodshot and gleamed with ferocity, and the scales on its body gleamed coldly in the dim campfire.

Its aura was fierce; it was clearly a serpent demon at the Dark Force level!

As soon as the snake demon appeared, it darted towards Wang Anping, clearly attracted by the crowd around the campfire.

Its scarlet forked tongue flickered in and out, and it opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs.

It brought a foul stench and lunged at Wang Anping.

Senior Brother Li and the two girls were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, not daring to go forward at all.

He could only watch helplessly as the snake demon attacked Wang Anping, and even felt a bit of schadenfreude in his heart.

Thinking that this ignorant and arrogant ordinary person was about to lose his life in the mouth of a snake.

But to their utter surprise, just as the snake demon's fangs were about to bite Wang Anping, Wang Anping slowly raised his right hand.

His expression remained calm, but with a slight exertion of force at his fingertips, a surge of powerful internal energy erupted and struck the snake demon.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the internal force struck the snake demon's head precisely, leaving the snake demon no time to even scream.

Its massive body was instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall of the dilapidated temple.

His head shattered, blood splattered everywhere, and he instantly stopped breathing. His massive body twitched a few times before going completely still.

The entire dilapidated temple fell into a deathly silence, with only the crackling of the campfire and the rapid breathing of the three people remaining.

Senior Brother Li and the two girls stared in disbelief, their faces pale and their bodies trembling.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and fear as he stared intently at Wang Anping, as if he were seeing a monster.

They never imagined that this seemingly ordinary boy would possess such terrifying strength, instantly killing the Dark Force Snake Demon in one move.

With this level of strength, one must be at least a master of the Transformation Realm!
