Chapter 156: Chapter 115: Knowing There Are Tigers, Yet Venturing Into Tiger Mountain (Part 2)

But this doesn’t mean that Chen Ping, in this identity, has to prove himself a worthless person.

He straightforwardly said, "Among the one-eyed man’s group, there are two experts...

Even though they try to hide their presence, their murderous intent cannot be concealed, definitely kills without mercy and has an extremely fierce nature. One can even smell a scent of blood and mutton."

"Good observation."

Xiongba laughed heartily; he had evidently seen that there were Hu people experts hidden among the bandits.

"How about, the two of us take action together? You handle the one on the left, I’ll handle the one on the right." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Alright." Chen Ping readily agreed.

"Then I’ll go kill Qin Duyan." Du Jingyun said calmly, his voice steady, as if he were just going to kill a chicken or a dog, not the leader of a bandit group.

As agreed, they saw that the bandits were already fighting fiercely with the Jianghu experts of the caravan, people falling down from time to time.

With this impact, the caravan was already losing the advantage.

The main reason was the two Hu people experts Chen Ping had mentioned, one wielding a saber, the other a spear, with a ferocious killing style...

Their onslaught was unstoppable.

As for Qin Duyan, he followed behind, laughing wildly, making a lot of noise but his attacking power was much weaker.

Soon, Chen Ping rode to the left, seeing the spearman swing his spear, an ominous aura rushing straight towards Miss Cui the Third’s carriage in the middle of the caravan.

Seeing Chen Ping blocking the way, a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes. He snorted coldly, the spear tip flickering, stabbing lightning-fast at Chen Ping’s chest.

The forceful wind howled, pressing Chen Ping’s blue robe to flutter backwards.

Seeing the spear tip vibrating swiftly and spiraling, Chen Ping understood why the previous Cui Family guards collapsed at first contact.

This person’s spear technique was problematic; it even used "Spiral Force", a highly advanced technique... Even if the cultivation was equal, a direct strike from this spear tip was irresistible, piercing through immediately.

What is this outstanding expert doing hidden in the bandit crowd?

Chen Ping didn’t intend to delve deeply.

His current apparent identity was only a newcomer to Jianghu, involved by chance, occasionally stepping in.

So, he drew his sword and thrust forward.

Ordinary, simple...

The spearman’s eyes filled with chill, thinking the guy in front might be scared stupid, not even knowing to dodge.

He even used such a basic sword technique to counter his "Celestial Centipede Eighteen Spears," truly proving he had a problem with his brain.

He urged his horse forward swiftly, already planning that once he killed this person, he would charge into the Cui family’s main caravan formation soon achieving his objective.

Suddenly, he felt the spear couldn’t advance any further.

All the strength in his arm disappeared; even his bodily power quickly faded, sitting on the horse swaying shakily.

"Thud..."

The spearman fell headlong off the horse, landing sideways on the ground, gazing up at the sky...

His body convulsed, immobilized, his vision turning rapidly dark.

Finally, from his neck, a fountain of blood spurted high.

’I was struck by the sword, but when did it happen?’

This question inevitably remained unanswered.

Even Chen Ping felt that now this Clear Wind Shadowless Sword was exceedingly fast.

The strangest thing was, it clearly looked like the sword speed wasn’t that fast, nor were the sword techniques particularly exquisite... It was merely the most ordinary, easiest to exert basic sword form, casually executed.

It seemed to transform from previously intentionally shadowless and shapeless to being visible yet unseen, a strange swordsmanship deceiving the eyes and the heart.

’I didn’t even use a semblance of True Meaning of Clear Wind.’

Chen Ping turned to see, over at Xiongba’s side, the ferocious man he was dueling with, already had his head flying into the sky.

Xiongba’s saber wasn’t anything peculiar, just a simple horizontal swing.

Against the sophisticated and ever-changing saber technique of the blade-wielding man, Xiongba’s broad, flat-headed saber was like chopping wood, directly severing the opponent, saber and head together.

His Qi mechanism showed no movement, it was unclear whether he cultivated the Twelve Main Meridians or the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Chen Ping suspected that the big guy probably hadn’t even revealed a tenth of his skills.

’Well, my luck indeed.’

Just casually teaming up down the road, he had encountered someone unfathomable.

As for Du Jingyun, one could really see his strength... His Qi mechanism flickered, the leader of Golden Chicken Stronghold Qin Duyan, became dazed on his horse, unable to move.

Struck in the chest by a sword, he fell off his horse on the spot.

With these three dead, the Golden Chicken Stronghold forces were immediately in chaos, their charge greatly reduced.

Counterattacked by the caravan guards, they were defeated, fleeing wildly.

After a round of pursuit, only a dozen or so escaped...

"Brother Chen, your swordsmanship is so fast I couldn’t even see it clearly..." Xiongba didn’t pursue, reined in his horse with a carefree laugh, looking at Chen Ping profoundly.

"Brother Xiong’s saber technique is the real deal; I feel it could indeed slay several dragons."

Chen Ping also laughed, offering praise.

Not entirely just flattery.

Although his opponent’s saber momentum was deeply concealed, when he struck, even from afar, Chen Ping could feel his pores tightening, a sense of threat emanating.

This was an innate warning of encountering a formidable enemy.

From this, it’s evident that the talk of "Five Dragon Saber" was just Xiongba joking.

"Haha, let’s stop the flattery. That day we first met at Yuanxi, I saw at a glance Brother Chen was extraordinary, truly Dragon and Phoenix in the Human World, I wasn’t wrong... Once we reach Xingqing Prefecture, we should drink heartily together, not rest until drunk."

Du Jingyun silently followed behind, without saying a word.
