Chapter 887 - 254: Yili’s Heroic Drive Repels Foes, Tribal Glory Shines Across the Sky (Part 5)

The news that Shi Feiyang had gone to Penglai Immortal Island to seize the "Xu Fu Secret Treasure" spread like wildfire throughout the Martial Arts world, becoming increasingly legendary.

Especially the "elixir of immortality" left behind by Xu Fu that Shi Feiyang obtained, as promoted everywhere by the Shandong Giant Whale Gang, made various forces drool with envy, joining the competition for it, and for a time, the Martial Arts world was once again in turmoil, with undercurrents surging.

After the heroic Sakura heroes left the Naiman Tribe’s capital, Wulang City, and traveled over a hundred li, a small hill appeared in front of them.

Below the hill, several women were holding their heads and weeping bitterly, their cries shrill and sorrowful, reminiscent of a cuckoo wailing bloodily, each sob seemed soaked in tears, as if they had encountered great misfortune, perhaps pillaged by bandits, losing valuables and loved ones.

"Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen and Little Scholar Shi Xiong, both kind-hearted, felt a surge of compassion upon hearing the cries.

The two exchanged a glance, and without a word, dismounted and flew towards the women, eager to investigate the situation.

Who would have thought these seemingly frail and pitiable women were actually full of mysteries.

Two beautiful young women, upon noticing their approach, flashed a barely noticeable cunning in their eyes.

Just as Xie Wen and Shi Xiong reached them, the women suddenly made their move, extending delicate jade-like hands, striking swiftly like lightning at Xie Wen and Shi Xiong’s key acupuncture points: "Middle Court," "Dove Tail," "Great Gateway," "Left Celestial Pivot," "Right Chapter Gate," "Right Shoulder Well," and so on.

The technique was vicious and cunning, clearly the work of a master.

Xie Wen’s Lightweight Technique is unmatched in the world, and he’s highly alert by nature.

Having roamed the Jianghu for many years, he earned the resounding title of "Flying Eagle Detective" at a young age, a name far from undeserved.

At the instant he detected danger, his body twisted abruptly, employing the "Feixu Qingyan Technique," slipping away like a nimble fish, narrowly avoiding the deadly strike. However, Shi Xiong’s Martial Arts were not as advanced, nor was his Inner Power deep enough, preventing him from reacting in time, and he fell for the two beautiful women’s trickery instantly.

The young woman somehow had seven three-inch needles in her hand and unhesitatingly drove them into Shi Xiong’s body.

Shi Xiong emitted a piercing scream that echoed across the empty prairie, chilling to the bone.

"Long Arm Fist" Liao Pei, "Heaven and Earth Saber" Lie Quan, "Iron Palm" Wu Zhong, "Mandarin Duck Saber" Xiao Lingling, "Divine Archer" Miao Menlong, "Plum Blossom Dart" Shan Zhi, and others were taken aback, urgently pressing their horses’ bellys to rush forward, intending to save Shi Xiong.

Xie Wen, moving like lightning, floated over, anxiety written across his face, exclaimed, "Grand Squad Leader, brothers, those wicked women are far from pitiful; they are members of the Maitreya Sect!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. The Maitreya Sect Leader Lv Yeyan was renowned in the Martial Arts world, though few had glimpsed her true appearance.

This Maitreya Sect operates mysteriously, with subordinates often using beauty to beguile others, lowering their guard before seizing the opportunity to strike. Their unique skill is the "Seven Fiends Pulse-Sealing Technique."

Shi Feiyang’s expression darkened as he swiftly reacted, waving his hand.

His ninety guards were well-trained, instantly forming a circular defensive formation, protecting the supplies securely in the center, to prevent unforeseen incidents.

Just then, a sudden commotion erupted from the woods, and a group of people rushed out.

These individuals were all wearing Daoist robes, wielding long swords, exuding an aggressive aura.

The Beggar Gang Leader Zhong Renwang stood before them, letting out a sinister laugh.

His face was peculiar, lacking a nose, and his laugh resembled an owl’s screech, particularly eerie and terrifying, sending shivers down the spine.

Dugu yan, also donned in a Daoist robe, stood aside, appearing rather out of place.

His face was overcast, his expression extremely cold, he bitterly cursed, "Shi Feiyang, no wonder your Martial Arts have become increasingly formidable; so you obtained Xu Fu’s Immortal Pill and the Holy Heart Technique. Today, if you don’t hand over Xu Fu’s Immortal Pill and the Holy Heart Technique, your Scholar’s Attendant will surely die!"

With that, he placed his sword against the poisoned and blackened Shi Xiong, who groaned in agony, on the edge of life and death.

Simultaneously, the group of Daoists in Daoist robes gripped their long swords firmly, executing the strange yet orderly Eight Trigrams Nine Palace Step, advancing in a fan formation like a tide.

They displayed agile postures, with fierce sword momentum, each set of nine perfectly in sync, stepping on the Nine Palace positions flawlessly.

In an instant, sword qi crisscrossed, seemingly weaving an invisible net, gradually enveloping the heroic Sakura heroes within.

Their fluid and cohesive stance clearly executed the famed Nine Palace Swordsmanship of the Jianghu.

However, Shi Feiyang, sharp-eyed, instantly recognized this was by no means the authentic Nine Palace Sword Array of the Wudang Sect.

The sword array held a sinister aura and cruel moves, distinctly the unique Nine Palace Array of the "Ghost Shadow Sect" in the Northwest.

It appears these people are likely peers or disciples of the notorious "Outer Border Demoness" Fu Anxing.

The heroic Sakura heroes felt the powerful yet bizarre pressure, turning towards Shi Feiyang, their eyes reflecting both the gravity of this sudden fierce battle and absolute trust in their Grand Squad Leader.

Shi Feiyang gazed at the tense situation before him, pondering silently; these waves of bandits were clearly well-prepared, meticulously orchestrating this ambush. Today’s fierce battle is destined to be a thrilling life-and-death confrontation.

His expression stoic, his gaze as resolute as iron, his voice low yet resonant like a great bell echoing around: "Hmph! To think you lot of miscreants could seize the treasure from me, Shi Feiyang; you’re far from qualified! Today, you’ll get a firsthand experience of the true might of the Heroic Sakura Association!"
