Chapter 168: Third Lady Going All Out (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The silver moon hung in the sky like a hook.

In the neat poplar forest outside the Baoyuan School, there was complete silence. manhua

Luo Ning was leaning against a poplar tree and hiding in a dark place, paying attention to the movements around the white stone path.

After Ye Jingtang killed Cheng Shilu at the Iron Buddha Ridge yesterday, there was a high chance that ‘Ye Silang’ would rush to the Baoyuan School in the next two days. It had already become public knowledge.

It was a taboo in Jianghu for people to expose their whereabouts in advance and give their enemies a chance to ambush them.

Although they weren’t sure if anyone would ambush him, the three of them were still very careful when they came here. First, they had explored the surrounding areas for ways to escape and places to hide. Then Ye Jingtang had publicly entered the Baoyuan School according to the normal procedure. Third Lady, who had strong attack power, had stayed hidden and circled around the residence while guarding against the inside and outside.

Luo Ning was an internal martial arts expert, so her lightness skills were much better than Third Lady’s. She could come and go silently and was good at hiding. Together with the bird, she was in charge of looking for enemies who would move when they heard the news after Ye Jingtang appeared.

Luo Ning couldn’t see much in the poplar forest covered by tree canopies, but the bird wasn’t affected.

The bird had big eyes and amazing night vision. It could search for rats and snakes in the grass at high altitudes. If people were hiding in the woods, unless they were buried underground, it would be impossible not to be discovered.

Even if the bird were discovered, it would be difficult to arouse anyone’s vigilance when an owl-like bird appeared in the forest.

Such caution obviously paid off.

After waiting quietly for some time, Luo Ning heard a sound coming from afar.

“Coo coo- coo-”

Having been with Ye Jingtang for so long, Luo Ning could understand some of the signals through the ‘tone’ of the cries. She had specially learned it before coming over and understood what it meant: Two people from the east.

Luo Ning stuck out her face slightly to look around. She could see that on the east side, where the bird cooed, was a small mountain ridge outside the poplar forest. It seemed that the enemy was hiding there. To be discovered by the bird, there was a high probability that they had seen Ye Jingtang coming and were looking for an ambush spot nearby.

After scanning her surroundings, Luo Ning silently jumped onto a treetop and hid near the white stone path.

Scrape… Scrape…

In just a moment, two figures appeared in the forest below.

Both of them were wearing night clothes. The person in front was short and burly. He was holding a heavy square shield in his left hand and a single saber in his right. There were throwing knives and nets hanging behind his waist.

The person behind him was slightly taller and had an extraordinary aura. He was holding a strong bow in his left hand and had a soft whip hanging from his waist. From the looks of it, the whip was probably twenty feet long.

When Luo Ning saw this weapon combination, she knew that it was specially used to deal with Ye Jingtang. The heavy shield would be used to protect the entire body and withstand the frontal attack of the Overlord Spear. The flying knives, nets, and strong bow would be used to harass and disrupt positioning. The whip would be used to control the opponent’s weapon, and the saber would be used to go for the kill.

If Ye Jingtang had met the duo alone, he might have been beaten until his scalp went numb by this combination that didn’t care about martial ethics.

Luo Ning didn’t act rashly. She hid among the treetops like a ghost and paid attention to their movements, waiting for Ye Jingtang to finish his business and rush over with Pei Xiangjun to find an opportunity to kill them.

But at this moment, an explosion came from inside the Baoyuan School.

Boom!

The sound was like thunder in the night!

The sound of tiles cracking and walls collapsing followed. It was earth-shattering, as if a meteor had crashed into the Baoyuan School.

Luo Ning looked around from the corner of her eye and saw that half of the roof of the tallest building in the center of the Baoyuan School had been destroyed. She couldn’t see who was standing on it, but the thief didn’t seem to have such destructive power.

The commotion also shocked the two assassins below. They immediately fell to the ground and whispered.

“F*ck, that scared me! What’s going on?!”

“I think it’s Ye Silang and Li Hunyuan fighting. This commotion… Something’s wrong.”

“There’s more than something wrong. I thought Jiang Zhahu was here… Is it Li Hunyuan or Ye Silang?”

“Ye Silang uses a spear. It sounded like the sound of a punch. Li Hunyuan is hiding his strength. If this move hit Ye Silang, he would either die or be crippled…”

Luo Ning also felt that Ye Jingtang didn’t have such a terrifying power. Her heart tightened, and she silently wanted to leave the tree crown and rush to help Ye Jingtang.

But the people below were obviously not ordinary martial artists. As soon as Luo Ning moved, they heard her.

Snap!

The strong bowstring sounded, and then a sharp arrow tore through the air!

Luo Ning’s expression changed drastically. She unsheathed the soft sword at her waist in an instant as if she were opening a fan in front of her, instantly blocking her entire side.

Ding, ding, ding!

Fine, soft sounds echoed in the tree crown.

Ordinary bows and arrows were useless against top experts.

The arrows shot out by ‘Mountain Collapsing Tiger’ Wang Chengjing were specially made. The moment they left the bowstring, they shattered into hundreds of flying needles that almost instantly drowned the tree crown and riddled the poplar leaves with holes.

Seeing the sword light that was like a full moon in the sky, Wang Chengjing’s gaze focused. “It’s the Screen-Opening Sword. There’s an expert ambushing. Retreat!”

Second Wang quickly raised his large shield, wanting to cover his brother’s escape.

But almost at the same time as the sword light appeared, a black shadow rushed through the forest at lightning speed toward the two of them. This figure held a nine-foot-long spear and blocked the retreat.

Second Wang knew that something was wrong. He immediately flipped his shield and placed it behind him while Wang Chengjing drew his bow like a full moon.

Swish!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Countless thin needles pierced through the air, forcing the spear user to hide behind a tree trunk.

Luo Ning landed on the ground, holding her three-foot-long sword. She used a tree trunk as cover and asked from afar, “How’s the little thief?”

Pei Xiangjun held her spear, used the tree as a cover, and said loudly, “He beat Li Hunyuan to death. Just stall them. These two are dead meat.”

?!

As soon as these words came out, the three people were shocked.

When Wang Chengjing heard that commotion just now was caused by the target, his tactic immediately changed into desperate escape. He held his strong bow and shot left and right.. “Go!”
