Chapter 167 Scheming Against a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm

Basang had placed Nangong Xu across his path and was galloping away when he suddenly heard the sound of hooves behind him.

He looked back and saw seven young men riding up behind him.

"Where did they get their horses?" Basang asked, his eyes wide with confusion.

But no matter how puzzled he was, the other side had one person and one horse, while he had two people and one horse, yet they were still not as fast as the other side.

"Tap - Tap - "

'

With the sound of horses' hooves, Wang Yu and his group, though a little slow at times, caught up again thanks to the horsepower.

Basang's eyes were cold and gleaming.

Without Fang Shaobai, he could have killed the others, but with Fang Shaobai, he could only be surrounded and attacked by them.

Basang's eyes gleamed as he spotted a fork in the road ahead. He immediately turned his horse around, took the side road, and galloped southwest.

After one person fled and seven pursued, the group quickly followed the path to the foot of a mountain.

Basang lifted Nangong Xu up, leaped into the air, and stepped on the horse's back. The horse neighed and died with broken bones. Basang then used the horse's momentum to quickly disappear into the forest.

The crowd behind them rode up and dismounted in unison.

"Be careful!" Fang Shaobai warned before leaping into the forest.

"The opponent is a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, be careful he might be lying in ambush in the forest!" Liu Wuchen explained, "Everyone, don't stray too far!"

Everyone agreed and rushed into the forest.

Fang Shaobai took the lead, following the trail forward.

The other six people split into two teams.

Nangong Liu and Liu Wuchen were the most skilled in martial arts. Liu Wuchen led Leng Jiangzhu and Xu Qingquan, while Wang Yu and Qu Lingbo followed behind Nangong Liu. The two teams stood to the left and right of Fang Shaobai, ready to fill in any gaps in their defenses.

"Whoosh—whoosh whoosh—"

"Swish"

The sound of something flying ahead suddenly disappeared.

Fang Shaobai immediately slowed down and focused his energy.

The two teams on the left and right also stopped, longswords in hand, eyes and ears alert, cautiously advancing.

On the left, Liu Wuchen beckoned to Leng Jiangzhu and Xu Qingquan, calling them to his side. All three were chief disciples of the Shu Sword Sect, and they were quite familiar with each other and cooperated well.

Fang Shaobai glanced left and right, then took two steps slightly to the right.

Wang Yu waved his hand, signaling Fang Shaobai to go back, "No need, no need! Nangong Liu is the Sword Emperor's personal disciple. He dared to come to the Sword Saint's territory alone to challenge the ruthless people of the Seven Great Sword Sects. He is no less than you and much more powerful than Liu Wuchen. You should help the other side."

Liu Wuchen, "————"

Nangong Liu smiled slightly, and even Wang Yu seemed a little more pleasing to the eye. "You guys stay closer to me."

But Wang Yu shook his head. "No, you're just an attention-grabber."

Nangong Liu: ? ? ?

Wang Yu asked Qu Lingbo in a low voice, "Are you ready?"

Qu Lingbo asked with some concern, "Are you sure?"

Wang Yu said, "I'm not sure; it depends on whether your poison is effective."

Qu Lingbo confirmed, "It will definitely work. My father is also a master of innate cultivation. Even he needed 45 minutes to detoxify after being poisoned."

Wang Yu nodded, "That's fine then!"

Nangong Liu couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?"

Wang Yu waved his hand, "You don't need to know, just be careful."

Nangong Liu clicked her tongue and immediately found Wang Yu disagreeable again.

The seven of them continued on their way, with Fang Shaobai leading the way as always. Liu Wuchen and the other two stayed very close together, while Nangong Liu was on the right. Qu Lingbo was slightly closer to Nangong Liu, and only Wang Yu was a little further away.

Wang Yu drew his longsword and casually hacked at the bushes in front of him. "Although he's stopped moving, it doesn't necessarily mean he's lying in ambush, right? If he's just making a quick escape, wouldn't we never catch up if we're moving so slowly?"

"Brother Zhao, that's a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, we must not be careless!" Liu Wuchen reminded him.

Although Wang Yu's words were somewhat disparaging, Liu Wuchen naturally wouldn't hold a grudge over such a trivial matter.

But Fang Shaobai and Leng Jiangzhu glanced at Wang Yu and felt a sense of relief amidst their worries.

They knew Wang Yu fairly well; Fang Shaobai had spent the most time with him, but Leng Jiangzhu had gone with him to the Five Poisons Sect in Miao territory.

In their view, although Wang Yu was unconventional, he was reliable and particularly careful about safety.

Now they are facing a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm. According to Wang Yu's previous personality, he shouldn't be acting so recklessly.

Fang Shaobai recalled a story he had heard while chatting at the Prince's mansion. When they returned from Tianshan, Wang Yu had Ling Feiyun ambush them and give Shi Mo a hard time, buying them half a year.

Leng Jiangzhu then recalled Wang Yu's experience of fighting the Five Poisons Sect and passing through the Nine Trials. He never did anything without being sure of success.

Once he starts performing, that's when he's going to dig a pit for the enemy.

"Brother Zhao!" Xu Qingquan also wanted to remind him.

Leng Jiangzhu grabbed Xu Qingquan and shook her head. Suddenly remembering Wang Yu's swordsmanship displayed at the tavern, she deliberately said, "He is a disciple of Tianshan. How he does things is none of our business."

"Huh?" Xu Qingquan was taken aback when he heard this, and then fell silent.

Liu Wuchen wasn't stupid either. He had heard from Leng Jiangzhu about Sun Wenzhu being exonerated. Wang Yu had done a lot of work in this matter, and Leng Jiangzhu's relationship with him was much closer than his own.

So Liu Wuchen stopped talking.

However, Fang Shaobai and Leng Jiangzhu were still worried, after all, Basang was not an ordinary innate master, but an innate grandmaster.

At this point, they had no outside help. Could Wang Yu really outmaneuver him?

In fact, Wang Yu wasn't entirely confident either, but since Basang had made the first move, he had to give it a try. Otherwise, no matter how careful he was, if Basang successfully killed the others, he wouldn't be able to escape.

If Basang had simply abandoned his horse and fled along a side path, Wang Yu wouldn't have thought much of it. But since Basang went into the mountains alone, things became more complicated.

Having watched all sorts of movies in his previous life, he immediately realized that Basang wanted to use the terrain to his advantage and turn the tables.

In the open field, with Fang Shaobai holding the line and the others providing support from the sides, and with both Nangong Liu and Liu Wuchen being formidable, Basang definitely couldn't withstand the combined attack of six innate-level swordsmen.

But now that they're deep in the mountains, the situation is reversed. Even if everyone is very close, they could still be ambushed by Basang.

If Basang succeeds once or twice, the morale on this side will probably collapse, and they will likely be defeated one by one. In the end, Wang Yu will probably not be able to escape either.

Since that's the case, let's take the initiative!

So Wang Yu gave him the most suitable target for his first attack: someone who was a little far from the main force, someone who was not very patient, and someone who seemed unsuspecting.

By this time, they had already passed the place where Basang's flying sound disappeared; Basang was trying to lower their guard.

Wang Yu walked in with an air of nonchalance, and even increased his speed slightly, reaching the front of the group.

"See? We've long since passed the place where he just disappeared."

Wang Yu looked around and swung his sword wildly, but as a master of innate skill, he was still vigilant. His sword swept across almost three feet in front of him.

"If we keep delaying like this, that old geezer will probably run away with Miss Nangong."

As Wang Yu spoke, he also sketched the scene, "Tsk tsk, the proud daughter of the Nangong family, taken to the snowy region by an old monk, posed in that kind of position—"

Nangong Liu clenched her fists, "Zhao—"

But before he could finish speaking, the bushes seven feet away to Wang Yu's left suddenly burst open, and a gray shadow crashed into Wang Yu with lightning speed, its palm as heavy as a mountain, enveloping the area around him.

"boom!"

Wang Yu felt a thunderous roar resounding in his mind. At this moment, it was difficult to retreat to either side. There was a large tree not far behind him, and with the pressure of Basang's palm strike, he was almost killed in a single move.

At this point, he only had one choice!

Fortunately, Wang Yu was prepared. He didn't even bend his legs. He was sent flying straight into the sky as if he had been sprung by a spring.

At the same time, Wang Yu thrust his long sword downwards, almost creating a curtain of swords.

Basang looked up at Wang Yu, and the two exchanged a glance across the sword barrier. Wang Yu saw kindness and compassion in Basang's eyes, while Basang saw fear and despair in Wang Yu's eyes.

The next moment, Basang also rose up from the ground, his large handprint piercing through the sword curtain, and struck Wang Yu's chest with a palm.

At this moment, Wang Yu was in mid-air with nowhere to hide. Basang seemed to have already seen the light in Wang Yu's terrified eyes go out.

But just as Basang's palm was two feet away from Wang Yu, Wang Yu's figure suddenly twisted in mid-air and abruptly turned, while his long sword drew an arc and stabbed towards Basang's ribs from the side.

"Um?"

Basang was slightly taken aback, but without hesitation, he struck the longsword with one palm and then struck Wang Yu from behind with another.

Wang Yu could already feel the powerful palm wind, which almost blew away his protective true energy.

The opponent's internal energy was still circulating smoothly!

Wang Yu's eyes flickered, and his body twisted again in mid-air, rising five feet into the air. The reflected firelight made the longsword appear fiery red as he thrust it toward Basang's throat.

"Can it still be rotated?"

Basang's eyes flashed, and before he could decide whether to continue the pursuit or land temporarily, Wang Yu's longsword had already arrived.

Seven Styles of Sunset: The Reflection of the Setting Sun!

Basang's pupils contracted. "It's you?"

Wang Yu chuckled, "It's me!"

The same move, the same "Sunset Glow," the same sword aimed straight for the throat.

Basang recognized that this sword was the one that killed his apprentice Dawa, and Wang Yu also admitted it without hesitation.

"die!"

Basang roared, and only then did the others realize that they had enough time to kill Wang Yu and then disappear into the mountains.

Basang forcefully circulated his internal energy, using his toes to gain leverage on the tree trunk, and then formed the Power Shaking Seal.

At the same time, Basang slapped away Wang Yu's longsword with one palm and then struck Wang Yu's chest with the other.

Then Basang saw Wang Yu perform a third mid-air maneuver, escaping his grasp once again.

Basang's pupils shrank to almost the size of pinpoints.

"That's impossible!"

"That's very likely!"

Wang Yu cackled maliciously, his longsword swiftly thrusting towards Basang's vital point in the abdomen. "I'll cripple your manhood!"

"drink!"

Basang shouted again and slapped the longsword out of Wang Yu's hand.

But he made several turns and struck out with his palms in mid-air, forcefully channeling his internal energy. Finally, his breath came to an end, and he had to catch his breath no matter what.

"Now!"

Qu Lingbo was already prepared and moved even faster than Fang Shaobai. She was already not far from the two of them and waved out a cloud of emerald green poison powder, which enveloped Wang Yu and Basang.

Just then, Basang caught his breath and inhaled a large amount of the poison powder directly into his lungs!
