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

"This……"

This scene made the Wudang disciple's eyes widen. He didn't realize he had been rescued until a figure flashed past him.

The Wudang disciple quickly looked over, but the person had already gone far away, and he only saw the profile.

Even from the side profile, the Wudang disciple recognized him.

"It's King Ning!"

He never expected Jiang Ning to appear here and even save him, but after looking at the other battlefields, he realized that it was the Weiyi Alliance that had come to support them.

The joy of surviving the ordeal brought him to tears, but then he couldn't help but feel sad again.

His master had just been killed by the demonic cultists.

If his master could have held on a little longer...

"kill!"

The martial arts figures who came with Jiang Ning to provide support immediately joined the battle, and the situation instantly shifted.

At this moment, several martial arts practitioners were besieging a demonic cult member.

when!when!when!

"You demonic cult prodigal, await your death!"

A martial arts practitioner, his eyes blazing with fury, unleashed deadly attacks with every move.

Judging from his appearance, he has a deep-seated hatred for the Demonic Sect.

The demonic cult member was of mediocre martial arts skills and was defeated after only managing to withstand a few moves in the face of the encirclement.

"what!!"

This evil cult member was instantly dismembered into eight pieces.

"Humph!"

The group snorted coldly and left to continue their attack on other members of the demonic sect.

call out!

Jiang Ning swept his sword horizontally, unleashing a sword aura that cleaved several members of the Demonic Cult in two.

Jiang Ning went on a rampage through the crowd, and none of the members of the Demonic Cult could withstand him. To his own people, he was like a god of war, but to the Demonic Cult, he was like the King of Hell.

"Why do they have so many reinforcements?"

Among the demonic sect members, a male Miao man became anxious upon seeing so many reinforcements, especially when he witnessed Jiang Ning slaughtering his way through the crowd.

This man was the new leader of the Five Poisons Sect, who called himself the Five Poisons Divine Lord. He was ordered to ambush the Wudang Sect, but upon seeing the situation, the new leader of the Five Poisons Sect knew that the plan had failed and he had to leave immediately.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Five Poisons God turned to flee, glancing at Jiang Ning before leaving with a look of apprehension in his eyes.

He remembered that the previous leader, Lan Fenghuang, had died at this man's hands. His poison skills were far inferior to Lan Fenghuang's. Upon seeing Jiang Ning, he only wanted to leave.

"go!"

The Five Poisons God ordered his subordinates to retreat, and several Five Poisons Sect masters loyal to him immediately surrounded him, preparing to leave.

"Where to go!"

The group of martial arts practitioners, who were in the midst of a fierce battle, immediately surrounded them when they saw that they were about to leave.

"roll!"

Seeing that these people dared to obstruct him without fear of death, the Five Poisons God Lord's face turned cold. He waved his hand and a cloud of poisonous mist was released. At the same time, the other Five Poisons Sect experts also threw out their Five Poisons items.

"what!!!"

A martial arts practitioner accidentally inhaled a wisp of poisonous mist. Within a few breaths, he screamed in agony and died, bleeding from all seven orifices.

The poisonous mist emitted by the Five Poison God was extremely potent; within moments, more than a dozen martial arts practitioners had died. The others fared no better, either bitten by venomous snakes or attacked by scorpions and centipedes, their deaths gruesome.

"Humph."

The Five Poisons God snorted coldly, gave a sneering laugh at these people's overestimation of their abilities, and then prepared to leave.

"Ok?"

Jiang Ning, who was fighting the enemy, noticed the situation here. He turned his toes and leaped into the air towards them.

Sensing the movement behind him, the Five Poisons God glanced back and was terrified out of his wits.

"Damn it! How did he catch up with us?"

The Five Poisons God was no longer as arrogant as before. He disregarded everything else and gave orders to his subordinates.

"Stop him!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Five Poisons God Lord increased his escape speed again, leaving his subordinates behind.

These Miao people, having heard their leader's order, were quite loyal and were about to unleash the Five Poisons to deal with Jiang Ning.

A venomous snake came straight at them, but Jiang Ning remained calm. He flicked his robe and used his inner strength to blast away the flying Five Poisons. In the next instant, he was beside them.

The Miao people were shocked and hurriedly raised their weapons, but before they could make a further move, several sword lights flashed, and blood seeped from their necks. Jiang Ning had already left and chased after the Five Poisons God.

The Five Poisons God, who was fleeing, just wanted to take a look at the battlefield behind him, but the next second his heart was pounding, and Jiang Ning was already not far away from him.

The Five Poisons God gritted his teeth and unleashed the poisonous mist again. Jiang Ning walked through the mist but showed no signs of being poisoned. Instead, he got one step closer to the Five Poisons God.

"Immune to all poisons?"

This scene caused the Five Poisons God's expression to change drastically, but Jiang Ning had already approached, and the aura of death lingered around him. The Five Poisons God subconsciously begged for mercy.

"Spare me... Ah!!"

The moment the words of pleading for mercy left his mouth, Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged, and his movements did not pause for a moment. He slammed a palm down on the top of the head, shattering the skull.

Chapter 696: A Hot Potato

The battle situation has shifted overwhelmingly in Jiangning's favor, and the Demonic Sect's morale is beginning to collapse.

After all, the difference in numbers between the two sides was quite obvious after Jiang Ning led more than 1,500 people to join the battle. Not to mention the psychological pressure that the two strange beasts, the tortoise and the snake, put on the members of the Demonic Cult. Especially after the Yellow-Clothed Elder died at Jiang Ning's hands, the remaining members of the Demonic Cult were almost without a leader. Under these circumstances, some members of the Demonic Cult had begun to desert.

"Where to escape!"

Linghu Chong shouted and began to chase after the fleeing members of the Demonic Cult, sword in hand.

After the fierce battle, Linghu Chong used his Dugu Nine Swords to fight his way in and out, which made him feel extremely satisfied. He was still not satisfied and was still chasing after the fleeing enemies.

call out!

Chongxu killed a demonic sect master with a single sword strike and looked around.

Now that the battle was over, all that remained was to clean up the battlefield. Chongxu finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to Jiang Ning's side. At this moment, Linghu Chong also came over.

"Junior brother, a resounding victory!"

Linghu Chong looked somewhat excited, but then added, "It's a pity that many enemies escaped. I really wish I could have kept them all here."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "There's no rush."

They will have to fight Ren Woxing to the death sooner or later, so these things are nothing to them.

"Young Master Jiang, Young Master Linghu, thank you all for coming to our aid. Otherwise, hundreds of people from our Wudang Sect would probably have perished here today."

Chongxu bowed deeply to Jiang Ning.

"Daoist Master, there's no need for such formality. I am merely a junior, and besides, we are enemies of the same demonic sect. I am unworthy of such a grand gesture from you."

There were many martial arts figures present. Chongxu was the leader of the Wudang Sect, so it would be inappropriate for Jiang Ning to accept Chongxu's grand gesture. Jiang Ning sidestepped and avoided Chongxu's gift.

"Yes, Daoist Master, we are all righteous people, so it is only right for us to help each other. Besides, you taught me Tai Chi swordplay before, so I am indebted to you."

The same applies to Linghu Chong.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning's actions, Chongxu also realized what was happening.

"It was my oversight."

Chongxu explained.

Jiang Ning didn't say much, but looked at the fleeing members of the Demonic Sect and asked, "Daoist, this time the Demonic Sect was led by two yellow-robed elders to ambush the Wudang Sect, why are we only seeing one now?"

Chongxu was taken aback upon hearing this and quickly looked around. Sure enough, apart from the yellow-robed elder that Jiang Ning had killed, he did not see the other yellow-robed elder. Then, thinking of the situation at Yixiantian, Chongxu quickly said, "The other yellow-robed elder set up a rolling stone trap to ambush us at Yixiantian. Since we haven't seen that person, I'm afraid they have already retreated."

Chongxu then recounted the events of the ambush, and Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

"I see."

"Should we go after them?"

Upon hearing that there were still enemies, Linghu Chong became excited and eager to try.

"no need."

Jiang Ning shook his head.

"Since they haven't shown up yet, they must have already retreated. There's no need to pursue them. The most urgent task is to deal with our own casualties."

This time, not only did the Wudang Sect suffer heavy casualties, but many of the martial arts practitioners who came to provide support also died or were injured. The next step is to clean up the battlefield, deal with the corpses, and provide timely medical treatment to the wounded.

"it is good."

Linghu Chong had no objections; whatever Jiang Ning said went.

At this moment, an old Taoist priest from Wudang came over and reported to Chongxu on the casualties of the Wudang sect. After listening to the report, Chongxu's expression darkened.

The Wudang Sect suffered too many casualties in this ambush. There were more than 800 Wudang disciples on this trip, but 300 of them died and more than 100 were injured. Among them, more than 40 were seriously injured, and the rest were not much better off. Even those who survived were all wounded. It can be said that the casualties were heavy.

Upon hearing this number, Chongxu closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"It is my fault."

Chongxu was careless; he hadn't anticipated the Demonic Church's ambush. If he had been more cautious and sent people ahead to scout ahead instead of rushing in, so many Wudang disciples wouldn't have died.

Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong exchanged a glance. Jiang Ning said, "What's done is done, there's no use thinking about it now. Daoist, let's go back to Luzhou Prefecture to treat the injured."

Chongxu nodded.

Jiang Ning turned and left, and Feng Buping and Cheng Buyou surrounded him.

“Junior Nephew Jiang, we…”

Feng Buping began to report on their casualties.

The group brought this time numbered over 1,500, including 500 disciples of the Weiyi Alliance and the rest were righteous warriors from the martial arts world. In the battle just now, the total number of casualties was over 100, with over 30 from the Weiyi Alliance and the rest being righteous warriors from the martial arts world.

On the other hand, the demonic sect left behind nearly a thousand corpses, while the rest had already fled.

The high casualty ratio was not only due to the difference in numbers between the two sides, but also because of the two strange beasts, the tortoise and the snake.

The tortoise and snake beasts shone brightly in this battle. They were as tough as copper and as strong as iron, and most of the attacks from the demonic sect were useless against them. Their enormous size and terrifying strength caused the demonic sect's morale to plummet. They had never seen such huge beasts before, especially not as enemies.

With the tortoise and snake beasts slaughtering the members of the demonic sect, the demonic sect's morale quickly collapsed. The tortoise and snake beasts made a great contribution; without them, the Jiangning side would likely have suffered even more casualties.

Seeing the two strange beasts not far away, Jiang Ning walked towards them.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning, the two strange beasts, a tortoise and a snake, crawled towards him.

At this moment, the two strange beasts were covered in blood and emitted a foul odor. Their appearance caused many people to instinctively stay away from them.

Jiang Ning approached the two strange beasts, which were emanating a strong smell of blood, but Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged.

The giant python lowered its head and approached Jiang Ning. At this moment, it looked ferocious and terrifying, but Jiang Ning laughed and gently patted its head.

"Well done."

Upon receiving Jiang Ning's praise, the giant python responded with a low hiss, but the next second its head jerked and it fell to the side.

It turned out that the giant tortoise saw that Jiang Ning only patted it and not itself, so it was knocked away by the giant python as soon as it came up.

Jiang Ning laughed when he saw this and patted its head in approval.

The giant tortoise was finally satisfied.

After calming the two strange beasts, Jiang Ning turned to look at the crowd.

"Return trip."

As soon as he spoke, Jiang Ning was taken aback. He realized that everyone was looking at him in a strange way.
