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

Page 522

They were currently in the deepest part of the cave, a place that was not yet covered by poisonous smoke and was relatively safe. However, the situation was not so good for the other members of the Demonic Cult on the outer perimeter. The area around them was filled with poisonous smoke, and coughing and spitting blood were commonplace. Some had even gone insane and were swinging weapons around, accidentally injuring many people.

Seeing the devastation inside the cave, Elder Ge's spirits sank to the bottom.

Given the current situation, they probably won't be able to hold out until Sang San Niang arrives to provide assistance. Even if they survive, when they return to Ren Woxing, given the mission's failure, Ren Woxing will not let them off the hook.

"Cough, cough, cough."

An elder couldn't help but cough.

The toxic fumes were getting a little closer to them.

……

outside the cave.

Moonlight descends.

A day passed, and Jiang Ning, who was stationed at the foot of the mountain, did not see any movement from the Demonic Sect; on the contrary, it was very quiet.

"Ning Yanwang" (a derogatory term for a powerful figure).

A man returned and reported to Jiang Ning, "We have thoroughly searched the surrounding area and found no trace of the Demonic Sect."

Jiang Ning frowned upon hearing this, then nodded: "Thank you, brothers. Go and rest."

After the others left, Jiang Ning fell into thought.

He had been on high alert for the sudden appearance of the Demonic Cult and had been sending people to patrol and search for traces of the Demonic Cult at the foot of the mountain, but he had not found the thousands of Demonic Cult members that the three Demonic Cult members had mentioned. They seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Jiangning had no clue about the 'disappearance' of its thousands of people, but it did not let its guard down and continued to maintain its current level of vigilance.

……

"No! We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Elder Ge raised his eyebrows and said.

The other elders turned to look at him.

"Elder Ge, what you mean is..."

"Kill out!"

Elder Ge's words were firm and resolute.

"Kill out?"

Elder Qiu, who was also one of the original ten elders, frowned upon hearing this.

"But the cave entrance is blocked, and there are top righteous experts like Jiang Ning, Yue Buqun, and Fang Zheng outside. Can we defeat them?"

Now their demonic cult members are almost completely afflicted by the poisonous smoke, not to mention they were no match for them to begin with, going out would only mean certain death.

"There's still no word from Sang San Niang outside, we can't count on her anymore."

Elder Ge was very resolute.

"Yue Buqun is still releasing poisonous smoke without stopping. It won't be long before the cave is completely covered by poisonous smoke. At that time, it will be even more impossible for us to fight our way out."

Hesitation will only lead to chaos. Continuing like this will only lead to death. Elder Ge must take a gamble.

"This……"

The other elders, including Elder Qiu, were still somewhat hesitant, so Elder Ge, seeing their expressions, simply spoke frankly.

"Everyone, the leader ordered us to come here to ambush the righteous path, but now we are trapped in the cave. Before the righteous path has even truly attacked, many of us have already died, and we even have to wait for rescue. We may even need the leader to come to rescue us personally. Whether we can be rescued or not is another matter. Even if we survive, how are we supposed to face the leader?"

Elder Ge, observing their expressions, continued, "At that time, I will certainly take full responsibility, but do you all think you'll be alright? Will the sect leader let you off the hook?"

Upon hearing Elder Ge's words, the elders fell silent.

They knew that Ren Woxing, with his personality, would definitely not let them go.

After a while.

"Fight your way out! Fight your way through!"

Elder Qiu gritted his teeth and said.

The other elders echoed this sentiment.

……

"Work harder!"

The man fanning the air at the cave entrance shouted loudly as he fanned himself.

"Smoke you demonic cultists to death."

Just as the man was fanning himself vigorously, a commotion suddenly came from inside the cave. Before he could react, the wet firewood and other materials blocking the cave entrance were broken through.

"Ok?"

The man was startled, and before he could speak, a shout of killing came from inside.

"kill!"

A figure rushed out swiftly, raised his sword, and slashed, cutting the man in half at the waist. It was one of the elders.

The elder led the charge, and a large group of demonic cultists filed out of the cave, engaging in battle with the surrounding martial arts practitioners.

"Ok?"

Yue Buqun, who was talking with several other sect leaders not far away, was taken aback by what he saw. He did not expect that the demonic sect inside the cave would actually dare to come out and fight.

But Yue Buqun quickly reacted, his expression changed, and he immediately drew his sword, leaped forward with his toes, and shouted.

"Kill the enemy!"

Chapter 713: The Palm-Breaking Style

The two sides quickly engaged in battle.

call out!call out!

The elder, who was engaged in the battle, had a ferocious expression and had killed several more people. Seeing his arrogance, Yue Buqun went straight for him.

At the same time, Tianmen Daoist and Qingzhu Shita and others were also heading towards him.

Upon realizing that several experts were targeting him, the elder's expression changed slightly, and he quickly called for the other elders to return to the cave.

"If you don't take action yet, when will you wait?"

As soon as the elder finished speaking, several more figures rushed out of the cave. They were Elder Qiu and several other elders, but Elder Ge was nowhere to be seen.

The two sides quickly clashed. Tianmen Daoist fought with one of the elders, while Qingzhu Shita fought two against one. The elder who had rushed out earlier unsurprisingly faced Yue Buqun.

"Humph!"

Yue Buqun snorted coldly and thrust his sword forward, unleashing the deadly Three Immortal Swords Strike.

The elder recognized Yue Buqun and knew that there was a significant difference in their martial arts skills. He was no match for Yue Buqun. His expression changed drastically, and he dared not take the attack head-on. He quickly retreated four or five steps while glancing around.

Where is Elder Ge? Why haven't I seen Elder Ge?

Among them, only Elder Ge's martial arts skills are currently sufficient to temporarily fight Yue Buqun, but Elder Ge is nowhere to be seen at this moment.

Yue Buqun gave him no chance to think. Seeing him retreat, he immediately took a step forward and slashed horizontally at the waist. The intense killing intent made the elder's heart pound wildly. Before he could think about why Elder Ge had not appeared, the elder quickly dodged, but was still nearly disemboweled by Yue Buqun's horizontal slash.

puff!

A sharp pain shot through his abdomen, and the elder's face turned ashen. He looked down at his wound; although Yue Buqun hadn't cleaved him in two with a single sword strike, his abdomen was still cut open, and blood was seeping from the wound.

Just then, a figure rushed out of the cave and fled outside with lightning speed.

This person is none other than Elder Ge!

Elder Ge, save me!

Upon seeing Elder Ge, the elder hurriedly called out, but the next second he saw Elder Ge running away without stopping, ignoring his cries for help. The elder of the demonic sect's eyes widened in disbelief.

At this moment, Yue Buqun had already leaped behind him and killed him with a single sword strike.

This elder of the demonic sect never understood why Elder Ge didn't save him, even until his death.

Bang!

Elder Ge struck down a martial arts practitioner who tried to stop him with a single palm strike, then fled without looking back.

Elder Ge never intended to fight the righteous army outside. Instead, he planned to escape in the chaos. He knew that Sang San Niang had not made any move for so long, which meant something must have happened. He couldn't rely on her for help. The few thousand people in the cave were no match for the righteous army. And waiting for Ren Woxing to arrive with his men was uncertain. That's why Elder Ge resorted to this desperate measure.

He knew that even if he survived this time, Ren Woxing would definitely not let him go when he returned, so he simply betrayed him and planned to join Dongfang Bubai's forces.

Elder Ge ordered these elders to lead the charge and attract the attention of the righteous experts, so that he could take the opportunity to escape, using the lives of these thousands of people to pave a chance for his survival.

It seems his plan is working well; he has already run quite a distance, and there are no experts on the road who can stop him.

After killing the elder of the Demonic Sect, Yue Buqun glanced at the fleeing Elder Ge, his expression slightly cold, but he did not give chase.

Because there are more experts than just them here.

"Roar!"

A Buddhist lion's roar rang out, and Fang Sheng brandished his staff as he charged toward Elder Ge, shouting.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."

At the same time, several Wudang Taoist priests attacked him from the other side.

"Where to escape!"

A voice rang out, and a ghostly figure sped over from not far away; the newcomer was none other than Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong was extremely fast, catching up with Elder Ge in just a few blinks. Seeing that Elder Ge had killed many martial arts figures, including disciples of the Weiyi Alliance, Linghu Chong was furious and immediately activated the Dugu Nine Swords.

Upon seeing the young face rushing towards him, Elder Ge's expression changed.

He recognized Linghu Chong; he still remembered the man's foul mouth from the time they met on the Fengchan Terrace at Mount Song.

"Just in time!"

Elder Ge snorted coldly, deciding it was a good opportunity to deal with this foul-mouthed brat before leaving.

boom!

Elder Ge struck with a palm, his inner force surging, his expression ferocious. In just a moment, it was as if hundreds of palm shadows attacked.

Seeing the fierce attack, Linghu Chong showed no panic on his face. He immediately recalled the palm-breaking techniques from the Dugu Nine Swords.

call out!call out!call out!

Elder Ge unleashed a torrent of palm strikes, hundreds of palm prints raining down like a heavenly king, determined to kill Linghu Chong swiftly. But the next second, his expression changed drastically, and he hastily withdrew his palms.

He felt a sharp pain in his wrist just now; if he didn't withdraw his palm, it felt as if Linghu Chong's sword would pierce his wrist.

"How could he see through my palm technique?"

Elder Ge's expression changed several times, seemingly incredulous, but the next second his expression hardened.

He didn't believe that Linghu Chong could really break his palm technique.

Elder Ge unleashed his full power, his palm techniques unpredictable, sending hundreds of palm shadows hurtling towards Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong sneered, and hundreds of sword shadows clashed with palm shadows.

"puff!!!"

Elder Ge staggered back several steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at Linghu Chong with utter terror.

"how come?"

Elder Ge exclaimed in surprise.

In just a short time, he had unleashed hundreds of palm strikes, but Linghu Chong seemed to see through his palm techniques, each sword strike precisely aimed at his wrist. If he did not change his move, his wrist would be pierced in the next second, forcing him to withdraw his attack. This continued until Elder Ge's internal energy was disrupted, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

Elder Ge looked at Linghu Chong with a horrified expression.

How could this person's strength be so terrifying? Jiang Ning of the Huashan Sect was already powerful enough, but I never expected this young man to be so powerful as well. His swordsmanship is truly astonishing.

"Dugu Nine Swords!"
