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

Page 123

Jiang Ning smiled.

"Ning...Ning Yama?"

The group looked alarmed and quickly got ready.

Jiang Ning's name has been making headlines in the martial arts world recently, and they have heard of him by heart. Although Jiang Ning is very young, they dare not be careless.

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow as he looked at these people.

"Let's go in and have a seat. It'll be more lively with more people."

Chapter 177: Since We're Already Here

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, the four men's hearts jumped. They looked around and, finding no one else lying in ambush, only Jiang Ning himself, they breathed a slight sigh of relief. One of them looked at Jiang Ning with great apprehension.

Jiang Ning's name was known throughout the martial arts world. Some people didn't believe it, some scorned it, and some thought it was true. These four people felt that even if there was some exaggeration, Jiang Ning's martial arts skills should not be low.

"you……"

One of them looked at Jiang Ning, about to say something, when Jiang Ning walked towards them.

"Since you're already here, don't leave."

As they spoke, Jiang Ning leaped several times to the man, grabbed his neck with his right hand, and with a crisp crack, kicked another man in the side, sending him flying backward toward the village entrance.

The other two were shocked. Jiang Ning's movements were so fast that they didn't even have time to react before two of them were killed. Just as the two were about to draw their weapons and attack, Jiang Ning grabbed the person in his arms, lifted him up, and slammed him down on them.

One person was hit, suffering a heavy blow to the chest, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

The remaining man, seeing the situation was bad, tried to run away, but the next second a long knife pierced his back, the tip of the blade protruding from his chest.

These four people died as soon as they arrived here.

Jiang Ning glanced at the four corpses and then left.

These four are just small fry; killing them won't take much effort.

A figure, dressed as a disciple of Mount Hua, emerged from behind a tree in the distance after Jiang Ning had finished dealing with the situation.

Ying Bailu was speechless as he watched this scene.

He was one of the disciples responsible for going down the mountain to gather intelligence. After seeing these people, he went to tell Jiang Ning. He originally thought that it would take Jiang Ning some effort to deal with these people, but the process was so simple that he couldn't believe it.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

Seeing his expression, Jiang Ning asked with a smile.

Ying Bailu felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

"No, it's nothing."

Jiang Ning had just killed those four people while smiling, and now Jiang Ning was smiling at him again, which he found hard to bear.

Ying Bailu quickly changed the subject.

"Junior brother, are you planning to keep ambushing and killing these people down the mountain?"

"That's not true."

Jiang Ning shook his head and smiled, "We'll just kill a batch of them while they're scattered."

His target was those audacious individuals who dared to come to Mount Hua alone or in small groups. If the number of the other side was too large, he would go back. Yue Buqun was right; Mount Hua was the home ground.

Even so, it left Ying Bailu speechless.

In his opinion, Jiang Ning was incredibly audacious to do this all by himself. If it were them, they would have been on high alert at the Huashan Sect long ago when they learned that a large group of people were preparing to besiege Huashan. They certainly wouldn't have dared to come out and intercept these people like they are now.

Ying Bailuo and some Huashan disciples were initially quite nervous, worried that the Huashan Sect would be no match for these martial arts figures and would not be able to withstand this crisis. However, Yue Buqun's composure and confident demeanor reassured them.

Jiang Ning's proactive interception gave them a false sense of security, making them feel as if they were the ones with the advantage.

Watching Jiang Ning kill these people as easily as drinking water, Ying Bailuo couldn't help but ask curiously, "Junior brother, what level have you reached in martial arts? Are you as powerful as Uncle Feng?"

Feng Buping was the top expert of the Sword Sect. They had seen him fight before and knew that his martial arts were very high, surpassing Ning Zhongze, making him the second-best expert of the Huashan Sect.

But Jiangning's recent record has left them all speechless.

Especially since Yue Buqun called out "Jiang Ning" instead of "Feng Buping" when he came down the mountain a few days ago, Ying Bailuo felt that Jiang Ning's martial arts skills had surpassed Feng Buping's.

"This……"

Jiang Ning chuckled; Ying Bailuo's question left him somewhat at a loss for words.

“Uncle Feng is a senior who has been immersed in the martial arts for decades and has superb martial arts skills. I have only been practicing martial arts for ten years, how can I compare to him?”

However, Ying Bailuo looked skeptical when Jiang Ning said that.

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Ning didn't explain further and left the area.

For the past two days, Jiang Ning had been waiting at the foot of Mount Hua. He encountered some scattered martial arts practitioners who were all preparing to gather at the foot of Mount Hua to attack the Mount Hua Sect together. Seeing that they had come from different places, Jiang Ning simply sent them down together to reunite.

Shortly after leaving the village, Jiang Ning and Ying Bailuo arrived at another grove of trees.

"Huh? Where's Senior Brother Shu?"

Ying Bailu looked at the place they had agreed upon in surprise and found that Shu Qi was no longer there.

"They probably went somewhere else."

Jiang Ning looked around and found no signs of a struggle, so it shouldn't have been an accident.

"Yeah."

Ying Bailu muttered in bewilderment, "They clearly said they would wait for us here."

"Let's go, senior brother, let's go and meet up with the others."

When Jiang Ning planned to ambush and kill the martial arts practitioners who came to Mount Hua, Yue Buqun went back and asked Shi Daizi and other disciples who had gone down the mountain to investigate to assist Jiang Ning.

Since Shu Qi isn't here, Jiang Ning doesn't plan to stay any longer.

"Ok."

Ying Bailuo nodded, and then left with Jiang Ning.

Not long after leaving the grove, Jiang Ning and Ying Bailuo spotted a figure approaching from afar.

"Senior Brother Lu."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ying Bailuo's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly.

“Junior Brother Ying, Junior Brother Jiang Ning.”

Lu Dayou was overjoyed to see Ying Bailuo and Jiang Ning and immediately ran over.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Jiang Ning was slightly surprised to see Lu Dayou's expression.

"Junior Brother Jiang Ning, hurry up and save Fourth Senior Brother, Senior Brother Gao, and Junior Sister Hengshan. They are surrounded by some strange people."

Lu Dayou said anxiously.

Shi Daizi and Gao Genming? And Hengshan disciples?

Upon hearing Lu Dayou's words, Jiang Ning's expression hardened, and without further ado, he spoke directly.

"Senior Brother Lu, lead the way."

Lu Dayou immediately headed back in the direction he had come from.

Before Ying Bailuo could react to the situation, he quickly followed.

"Sixth Senior Brother, have the Hengshan Sect people arrived yet?"

On the way, Jiang Ning asked Lu Dayou.

Lu Dayou nodded as he ran, saying, "A few junior sisters have arrived. They came to inform us first. Senior Uncle Dingyi and the others are still on their way and will arrive in two more days."

"We were originally planning to return after meeting the junior sister from the Hengshan Sect, but we encountered some strange people on the way and were discovered by them. Two of them even tried to eat us. My fourth and fifth senior brothers are currently fighting with them and told me to come find you quickly."

"eat human?"

Ying Bailu cried out in surprise.

"Senior brother, are you telling the truth?"

Lu Dayou nodded vigorously, as if he had thought of something. His face turned very pale as he said, "It's true. They also said that we were martial artists, and that the junior sisters of the Hengshan Sect looked delicate and tender, and that they must taste better than beef and mutton. Those two people's eyes were practically glowing with greed when they looked at us."

Chapter 178: The Twin Bears of the Northern Desert

"Senior brother, are they just trying to scare you?"

Even after hearing these words, Ingbra was not entirely convinced.

"really!"

Lu Dayou exclaimed in shock, "I saw them take something out of their pockets and eat it. It was a human hand, and it was still bleeding."

"vomit!"

Ying Bailuo felt nauseous upon hearing this.

Although he and Lu Dayou were disciples of Mount Hua, they had never heard of anyone eating their own kind in all these years, let alone ever seen it.

"Senior brother, who are those two people?"

Ying Bailu asked, his heart pounding.

Lu Dayou was still somewhat shaken: "I heard from those two people's companions that they were called the Northern Desert Twin Bears."

"One of these two men was very tall and burly, like a giant, and the other was a monk."

"This...this...these members of the demonic cult actually dare to eat people."

Ying Bailu was still in shock.

Jiang Ning remained calm and showed no reaction to Lu Dayou's words, saying, "These people have lost their basic human values, so it's not surprising that they do whatever they want."

After saying that, Jiang Ning asked Lu Dayou, "Senior Brother, where are Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, and Senior Sister Hengshan? How far away are they?"

Lu Dayou quickly replied, "It's not far, it's just ahead, about two miles away."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately said, "In that case, there's no time to lose. I'll take my leave now. Please be careful, senior brothers."

It took Lu Dayou quite a while to run to them and then turn back; if they were too slow, they might not make it in time.

After saying that, Jiang Ning pushed off with his feet, his speed increased dramatically, and he leaped a great distance in one bound.

"Alright, junior brother, be careful."

Lu Dayou and Ying Bailu shouted, but the next second Jiang Ning's figure had already disappeared from their sight.

Bang!

Swords clashed.

A burly man clashed with Gao Genming, whose face paled and who couldn't help but take a step back.

At this moment, blood seeped out from a wound on his back.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing him like this, the burly man burst into loud laughter, his voice booming like a bell, making Gao Genming's eardrums ache.

"Not bad."

The burly man looked at Gao Genming excitedly and shouted, "Your martial arts are not bad. It seems that not all of you Huashan Sect disciples are useless. You are much stronger than other righteous disciples."

At this moment, the burly man opened his mouth and laughed, his snow-white teeth soaked in blood, and a trickle of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth as he spoke.

The man was extremely burly, towering more than half a body length taller than the average person, with bulging muscles all over his body, like an iron tower.

Gao Genming's face was grim, and he remained silent.

Not far away, a hand lay on the ground, with bones exposed in some places and covered in teeth marks.

"drink!"

Three female disciples of Hengshan are fighting against two men.
