Capítulo 1356: Chapter 35: The Encirclent Sche (Double Chapter, Part 2)
Qiu Feiyi looked up towards that direction, muttering “Penglai Island” several tis in his heart, and gripped his Thunderbolt Spear even tighter. The East Sea’s Penglai was a spiritual land, and the aura within the sect seed naturally ford. He had tirelessly cultivated martial arts since childhood, and ever since learning about Penglai Island, he had never stopped yearning to cultivate there.
From initial admiration, to later jealousy and resentnt.
Originally, he had advanced all the way to the realm of a Fourth Rank Grandmaster like a hot knife through butter in his cultivation, but in the end, that gate stood before him, blocking him for a full thirty years despite his desperate efforts to cultivate, despite his furious rage; that gate showed no sign of opening even a crack.
Vaguely, year by year, it only seed more daunting.
If no opportunity arises in this life, perhaps he will die without ever being able to open even the slightest gap, without ever seeing what’s behind the gate, the truly vast and majestic spectacle.
The mystical land of Penglai raises Flood Dragons to kill giant pythons as the only strategy.
Ji Jiaxun coldly glanced at Qiu Feiyi, with a touch of mockery in his eyes.
The group moved forward, and after crossing the stone bridge over the sea, Ji Jiaxun raised his hand slightly, and the crowd behind him imdiately dispersed. A wind passed through the Purple Bamboo Forest, leaves rustled, and he saw two elderly n dressed in white robes embroidered with azure patterns, a smile flickered on his face, and the companions with him had a fiery look in their eyes.
With a raise of his hand, arrows fell like rain.
Before they could get close to the Purple Bamboo Forest, the force of their shots was outright cut away, causing them all to fall to the ground.
The arrows arose again.
Several tis in a row.
Arrows arose like locusts and fell again like rain.
In front of the Purple Bamboo Forest lay countless broken arrows, densely impaled into the ground, murderous intent stirred, bamboo leaves fluttered.
When the last volley of arrows was fired, the arrows were shattered by a fierce and domineering fist force, the broken arrows were enveloped by the punch force, being drawn inwards, transforming into an iron sphere, heavily slamd into the ground, arrow tips pointing outward, their cold gleam icy.
In an instant, two elderly n and a middle-aged man carrying a sword appeared from the inner island.
Ji Jiaxun was in no hurry to act. Though elderly, he still wielded the heavy Iron Halberd with ease, having experienced the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, he regarded most so-called grand scenes with detachnt, waiting calmly for the three experts of the Dongfang Clan to approach.
Judging by their excellent martial prowess, the trio swiftly arrived in front of the Purple Bamboo Forest; the elder in the lead had a mane and beard bristling like a furious lion, fists tightly gripped, clearly the one who finally shattered all the arrows, glaring ahead but addressing the two elderly n behind him, saying:
“Family Head, all disciples have assud their positions, these bandits made no effort to split up, targeting this location directly upon coming ashore.”
Dongfang Tiankui was not surprised, he simply took a drink from his cup.
Qiu Feiyi said casually:
“The mystical arts of the Dongfang Clan in Penglai are renowned worldwide.”
“Even if we intended to split up, there’s no way to evade you, so why not boldly face you, it’s considered forthright.”
“I heard the inner island lineage of the Dongfang Clan consists of two branches; the main focuses solely on mystical arts, spending a lifeti avoiding any martial prowess, while the offshoot surrenders mystical talents in favor of cultivating martial arts, guarding those feeble magicians who can’t wield swords and engage in combat.”
“The three of you are probably offshoot disciples, aren’t you? Your martial arts are quite good.”
The elderly man with clenched fists from the Dongfang Clan sneered, saying: “I am Dongfang Cong, my martial skills are ordinary, yet it won’t be difficult to deal with you bunch of treacherous rogues. What you have there is the Thunderbolt Spear? Apparently, you are disciples of the Flying Spirit Sect, and as for this one… with the Iron Halberd, appears to be of the Military Family.”
“Would either of you like to first test my martial skills?”
When he arrived, he noticed apart from the martial artists backing these two, there were densely packed around, holding various weaponry, at least a few hundred formidable martial artists, while the Dongfang Clan prided itself on mystical arts, not having many martial artists at hand, even if they all fought, it would hardly be anything but a pyrrhic victory.
Who knows how many disciples and clan mbers would suffer, perhaps crippling the Dongfang lineage altogether.
So he feigned provocation, hoping to turn this situation into a one-on-one duel in Jianghu.
The white-haired Ji Jiaxun chuckled, prodded the ground with his Hand Halberd, taunting:
“With so many of us here, why should we duel you alone?”
“Moreover, your Penglai Island is nothing but a turtle in a jar, while we have reinforcents on the way. A Flying Dragon Battleship from East Sea Guard has already arrived, and there are still thirty more, stationed just a hundred miles away, rely need to release a signal arrow, and within an hour they’ll be here. By then, an army of thousands will descend upon your Dongfang Clan, ensuring your downfall.”
His voice paused, then he sighed again:
“It’s a pity, that Flying Dragon Ship was originally prepared for you.”
“Flying Dragon Mo Family chanism Ship, each one docunted in the Heavenly Works Departnt of Heavenly Capital City. It was intended to lure you out, so as to divide and conquer you. If we could break your Ironclad Ship, even better, reporting to the Imperial Court for deliberate damage to national assets would call for the Dongfang Clan’s removal, wouldn’t it be justified?”
“Though we haven’t managed to lure you out, still we have delayed the most troubleso person. Yet with this overwhelming tide pressing in, you still wish to engage in a one-on-one duel with ? Hahaha, Jianghu simpletons are indeed just that, Jianghu simpletons, amounting to no grand ambitions!”
Ji Jiaxun spoke with his untad nature stirred, nearby Flying Spirit Sect mbers heard his words brimming with disdain for Jianghu, feeling sowhat angry, yet could only secretly endure it.
anwhile, Dongfang Cong grew extrely enraged, but amidst his fury, his heart turned ice-cold.
If so, then they are almost trapped in a fortress-like net, with scarcely any chance of survival.
