The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

A bloody gash appeared on his arm.

The two fought so fast that the others didn't even have time to react and watched in shock.

Jiang Ning's attack was swift, accurate, and ruthless, as if his hands had eyes.

Jiang Ning took two steps back, twirled his longsword, and leaned on the ground again.

"on!"

Two more people stepped forward, and Jiang Ning's ears twitched slightly.

Southeast, due north.

Upon realizing this, Jiang Ning acted swiftly, flicking his longsword and thrusting it directly downwards and diagonally at the person attacking from the southeast.

This person was prepared; he slashed downwards with his short sword, deflecting the long sword.

Jiang Ning flicked his wrist, and his longsword drew a semi-circle in the air before slashing straight down.

The man was startled and quickly retreated. Jiang Ning suddenly stepped forward, bent his arm, and slashed diagonally. With a soft "plop," the man's thigh was pierced.

The sound of wind rushing past came from behind.

Jiang Ning sheathed his sword, turned around to block, and at the same time raised his right leg and kicked backward. The man whose thigh had been pierced was hit hard in the abdomen, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and fell backward, crashing into the mud.

"what!"

The other man, wielding a large knife, pressed down hard with a fierce expression, determined to subdue his opponent. Jiang Ning sheathed his longsword, and suddenly there was no space in front of him. His body involuntarily leaned forward. Jiang Ning quickly turned around and came to his side, raising his longsword horizontally. The man's neck slammed directly into the sword, and Jiang Ning pulled him down, causing a stream of blood to spurt out.

Bang!

The body fell to the ground.

call out!

Another whooshing sound, accompanied by the rattling of chains.

Due south.

Jiang Ning veered to the right, simultaneously extending his left hand to grab the chain and pull hard. The man opposite him was clearly caught off guard and was pulled out of the crowd, heading towards Jiang Ning.

Bang!

Mud and water splashed as two men charged forward, brandishing whips; both were skilled whip users.

The two figures rapidly approached Jiang Ning and simultaneously raised their whips to strike. Jiang Ning raised his sword to block the point where the two whips met, and in the next second, he forcefully flicked the whip away.

Jiang Ning tossed his sword into the air, and the longsword spun continuously in mid-air. In the gap, Jiang Ning's right hand formed a claw and quickly swept across one of the men's wrists. With a sudden pull, the man lost his balance and leaned forward towards Jiang Ning.

The next second, Jiang Ning pulled on the chain in his left hand, quickly wrapping it around the man's neck three times and tightening it forcefully. At the same time, he raised his right hand to catch the falling longsword.

The man with chains wrapped around his arm was also pulled over by Jiang Ning, but he did not surrender. He raised his other hand and threw a punch.

Jiang Ning turned and kicked out with a horizontal kick, knocking away the opponent's wrist. At the same time, he swept his sword across the necks of both of them.

The owner of the chain hammer and the two people whose necks were wrapped around his neck suddenly stopped, their eyes glazed over, and the next second they both collapsed to the ground.

call out!call out!

Two long sleeves wrapped with chains attacked, blocking both sides of Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning's ears twitched slightly, and the next second he leaped up, spreading his legs apart just before landing, placing them on his two long sleeves, and standing in mid-air.

call out!

Another white sleeve swept in, heading straight for Jiang Ning's face.

Jiang Ning tilted his head slightly, dodged to the right, and then reached out to grab the long sleeve.

The owner of the sleeve chain was a middle-aged woman, but she was tall and strong with a rugged face, so at first glance she looked like a man.

Seeing that Jiang Ning had withstood three of her moves in succession, the middle-aged woman sneered, flicked her finger, and a finger-sized insect clung to her long sleeve. The middle-aged woman activated her internal energy, and the insect rushed towards Jiang Ning, making a whooshing sound as it flew.

Ok?

Jiang Ning tilted his head slightly, and the next second his innate internal energy surged, flowing along the sleeve chain until it met the insect in the center.

Bang!

The insect exploded, and the sleeve chain exploded with it.

Jiang Ning pulled his leg back and landed. With a tremor of his left hand, his white sleeve shattered, revealing the chains inside. Jiang Ning swung the chains, and the broken chain seemed to come alive, dancing in mid-air before rapidly sweeping towards the crowd.

Everyone fled.

The broken chain stretched to its furthest point, its body perfectly straight. Jiang Ning twisted his wrist and swung it to the left and right.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Several men were struck in the chest, their bodies flying backward, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

The others stopped upon seeing this, looking at Jiang Ning with expressions of shock or apprehension.

Jiang Ning had already been at a disadvantage due to their interference, but they didn't expect that after the other party was blindfolded, it was as if they were freed from their restraints and killed several of them in a row, which made them very wary.

"He was blindfolded because he was listening to our movements; his hearing is very sharp!"

After observing Jiang Ning, the leader noticed that Jiang Ning's head would tilt slightly each time they made a move, clearly indicating that he was listening to their actions in preparation for a counterattack.

Upon hearing this, the others immediately understood, slowed their breathing, and stopped moving, slowly approaching Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning's ears twitched slightly; all that remained around him was the sound of the torrential rain.

Chapter 138: Rainy Night and the Corpse

The group slowly approached Jiangning in the center, trying their best to reduce their breathing rate and slow their pace. Although a few faint sounds were made, they were all covered by the sound of rain.

The leader nodded to the others, and two of them immediately understood and suddenly shouted.

Jiang Ning suddenly turned his head.

call out!

As the cold light flashed, the two people who made the sound were prepared and quickly dodged.

Jiang Ning's sword strike missed its mark. His brow furrowed slightly as an alarm bell rang behind him. Jiang Ning instinctively turned around and swung his sword to block.

Bang!

A broadsword clashed with a longsword, and Jiang Ning's arm went numb as he was slashed back several steps.

After delivering that strike, the man stopped attacking and remained motionless in the rain.

Seeing that the attack had worked, the others' eyes lit up with joy, and they moved even more quietly as they slowly approached.

A loud shout rang out not far behind Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning's ears twitched slightly, and his attention was subconsciously drawn to the sound behind him.

call out!

Suddenly, the sound of a knife being swung rang out again from the right side of Jiangning, extremely close, aimed straight at the neck.

It was too late to parry. Jiang Ning leaned back slightly, and the blade sliced ​​across the front of his neck. Just then, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, and someone was rapidly approaching.

Before he could react, Jiang Ning quickly held his sword behind him. With two clangs, the tip and middle of the sword were struck simultaneously, leaving a knife wound on his left shoulder that spread all the way to the center of his back until it was stopped by the longsword, preventing the wound from deepening.

Despite the excruciating pain in his back, Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged. He didn't retaliate immediately but instead raised his leg and kicked forward with all his might. The man who had ambushed him with the broadsword didn't expect Jiang Ning to dare to attack him under these circumstances and had no time to react before experiencing a sharp pain in his abdomen.

Jiang Ning's kick was so powerful that it made his mind race, and he seemed to see his great-grandmother.

Ding dong!

The broadsword fell to the ground, and the man coughed up a mouthful of blood, along with pieces of his internal organs. He lay on the ground clutching his stomach, his body arched, and his eyes began to glaze over.

Although Jiang Ning's kick didn't kill him, he had lost his fighting ability.

A searing pain shot through his back. Jiang Ning's kick had been too forceful, causing him to involuntarily fall backward, which deepened the wound on his back.

Before Jiang Ning's foot even touched the ground after kicking out, he quickly turned and retreated by using his waist strength. With a fierce expression, he swung his right hand and slashed horizontally at the two men with all his might.

The two quickly raised their weapons to parry.

Zheng! Zheng!

Two sharp sounds rang out, and the two men's longswords were severed. The sword blades left a mark in mid-air, slicing through their throats.

Bang!Bang!

Two bodies fell to the ground.

Jiang Ning's chest heaved violently, and the rain lashed against the wound on his back, making his face even paler with excruciating pain.

Seeing that Jiang Ning was still able to kill two people and cripple one under such circumstances, the others were stunned and dared not go forward again, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning braced himself with his sword and did not notice anyone else approaching. Although he was surprised, he did not let his guard down.

Having fought this far, the speed at which his innate internal energy circulates has reached an unprecedented level, and his internal energy is extremely active.

Although his injuries were worsening, he felt his body reacting faster and faster, his mind becoming clearer and clearer, and his hearing becoming more distinct. He could already hear the breathing of these people, and their locations were slowly emerging in his mind.

The leading man looked at Jiang Ning as if he were a monster.

The combat skills that Jiang Ning has displayed so far have made him tremble with fear.

By now, more than a dozen of their men had died. Of those still able to move, one had his stomach slashed open, one had his shoulder cut, one had his thigh pierced, and three or four others had internal injuries. Only a handful of them remained unharmed. This defeat left them horrified and furious.

The leader had seen many geniuses within the Sun Moon Cult, and quite a few of them were capable of taking on multiple opponents at once, but none of them had ever achieved the kind of feat Jiang Ning had accomplished.

He admitted that Jiang Ning was indeed very strong, stronger than those of them who had practiced martial arts for decades, but in his opinion, even if he was strong, there was a limit, and it was impossible for him to defeat them.

Indeed, Jiang Ning was already running out of steam after killing five or six of them. The man thought he could kill Jiang Ning with just a little more attack, but the battle that followed was what truly terrified him.

Despite being blindfolded and suffering from aggravated injuries, he managed to kill several of them and seriously injure several others. The fighting prowess he displayed under dire circumstances chilled him to the bone.

"kill him!"

Everyone charged at Jiang Ning. By now, they had realized that Jiang Ning could not possibly join the Sun Moon Cult, so there was no need for further words; they simply killed him.

They couldn't just go back like that. If they retreated now, they would suffer an even worse fate when they returned.

when!when!when!

Jiang Ning raised his sword to block, his body retreating continuously, but the next second someone attacked from behind him. At the same time, the man who had been leading the attack also attacked him, his hand forming a claw and rapidly sweeping towards him.

Jiangning was attacked from both sides at the same time.

The two attackers, one from the front and one from the back, were both top-tier masters with extremely fast attack speeds. One aimed straight for his face, while the other attacked his back, each move potentially fatal.

At the critical moment, a man thrust his sword at them from the left.

Jiang Ning seized the opportunity, flicked the chain with his left hand, and it flew out quickly to wrap around the man's wrist. Jiang Ning then pulled the man in front of him. At the same time, Jiang Ning turned around and kicked downwards to the side. The man's brows furrowed, and he subconsciously paused for a moment. But Jiang Ning quickly pulled his leg back and forcefully shook his shoulder backwards, causing the man behind him to be thrown forward.

Jiang Ning sheathed his sword, turned around, and thrust backward.

The leader was startled when he saw that it was his own brother and quickly withdrew his hand. But the next second, a cold light flashed from under his armpit, and the sword's edge suddenly appeared.

The man was terrified and retreated rapidly. Jiang Ning raised his sword and swept it upwards, sending a severed arm flying, accompanied by a scream.

Just then, three more people attacked from different directions.

Jiang Ning pulled hard on the chain, lifting his body up. The chain swung back and forth, causing the man's body to flip up and down, blocking the attacks from the others.

The sounds of weapons piercing flesh and screams caused the others to instinctively stop moving.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that they had just been attacking their own brother.

"The sixteenth brother!"

A man looked alarmed and immediately shouted.

The man in Jiang Ning's hand was covered in blood, with horrific knife marks and bruises everywhere. He was barely breathing and looked like he was about to die.

Jiang Ning released his grip, and the man fell downwards, but Jiang Ning immediately kicked him away, sending him flying towards the two other men.

When the two men saw their brother being kicked over, they didn't immediately intervene. Instead, they took a few steps back, but the next second their pupils contracted sharply.

A cold light flashed.

Jiang Ning flicked his wrist, slashing his longsword across the throat of one of the men. At the same time, Jiang Ning spun around and landed beside the other man.

The man was shocked and quickly turned to fight back, but Jiang Ning struck him on the shoulder with a palm, crippling his arm. Jiang Ning then grabbed his head and slashed it horizontally with his sword.

With a soft thud, the sword pierced his throat, and blood spurted out.

The other men stopped abruptly upon seeing this, not daring to move forward any further, and forgetting to make any noise to disturb the peace.
