Chapter 70: Fierce Battle at Tianjian Peak
Countless boulders fell from the sky, one of which was heading towards Bai Guhan..
"Prince, be careful..
Shen Gongshi, the elder in black, rushed up to Bai Guhan's head and slashed at the boulder with his hand as a knife. The internal energy in his hand condensed into a knife shape, and the boulder was easily cut into two like tofu. One unlucky person could not dodge in time and was pressed down on his thigh by half of the boulder. He let out a shrill cry..
Chu Ningjing's luck was much better. No huge rock fell directly on him. The middle-aged retinue was guarding him nervously. His subordinates were all good soldiers, so there were no casualties..
Many people present were flustered by the sudden falling of the boulder and tried their best to dodge. Many of them were weak or unlucky and were hit by the boulder, especially the first wave of boulders. Many people were smashed into mud before they knew what had happened..
For a moment, there were heavy casualties at the foot of Sky Sword Peak. Many of the boulders were covered in bloody mess. Those who were hit by the boulders but did not die let out wails one after another. It was very miserable..
The boulder rain lasted for a while and finally stopped. It seemed that no more boulders would fall for a while..
Chu Ningjing frowned slightly when he heard the screams of these unlucky guys. He waved his hand and gestured for a middle-aged man who looked like the leader of the armored soldiers to step forward. After giving a few simple instructions, the leader nodded and retreated to the group to give orders to the rest of the armored soldiers..
Chu Ningjing's subordinates walked towards those who were smashed under the boulder. Bai Guhan looked at their actions suspiciously..
A young man whose body was partially crushed by a huge rock had a look of despair on his face. He could not bear the heart-rending pain, but he could not even wail. He knew that he was finished. Death was only a matter of time..
At this moment, he saw an armorer standing in front of him. He was expressionless and did not speak. Instead, he pulled out his sword. He immediately understood what the other party wanted to do. He wanted to speak, but he could not make a sound. He could only nod to the person and close his eyes..
A trace of unwillingness flashed across the soldier's eyes, but he quickly calmed down. He quickly inserted the sword in his hand into the man's heart and ended his life..
This scenario continued to play out at the foot of Tianjian Peak, and soon those dying were killed..
The other part of the soldiers had to do much more difficult things. They worked in groups and rescued those who were only pressed down on their limbs from the boulder. After they were rescued, they endured the pain and thanked Chu Ningjing one after another..
"You don't have to thank me. I just don't like to hear people scream. Leave quickly to heal your injuries..
Chu Ningjing glanced at these poor guys with broken arms and legs, waved his hand and said, and gave a look to the middle-aged retinue..
The middle-aged retinue understood and walked to these people. A ball of ice-blue internal energy appeared in his hand and touched their wounds. Their originally bloody limbs were instantly frozen. They were surprised to find that the wounds did not hurt anymore..
"This can only be sealed for four hours. If you haven't found a doctor to treat it by then, pray for your own good..
"The middle-aged retinue said expressionlessly.
These people are grateful to the middle-aged thanks.
" Still wasting time here? Do you think your life is too long?" The middle-aged man frowned and said..
They didn't dare to delay any longer. They supported each other as they walked towards the dense forest. Seeing that this trip was too dangerous, many experts or freelance cultivators from other small forces also left one after another. Almost only the North Chu and East Xia forces remained here..
At this moment, there was a clap of hands..
" Brother Chu, you're really kind-hearted. These people don't care about you for no reason. Aren't you afraid that I'll order a sneak attack on you when you're unprepared?" Bai Guhan smiled. He only watched Chu Ningjing do these things with interest and did not do anything else..
"I think with His Highness's status, he would definitely disdain to do such a thing..
Chu Ningjing laughed as well..
"Haha, you're right..
Bai Guhan laughed loudly and narrowed his eyes slightly..
"Ice True Qi. It seems that this person beside Brother Chu is Liu Wannian, the famous sect leader of the Frost Sect in Yingzhou. I didn't expect that King Chu would also bring the Frost Sect under his command..
"Bai Guhan stared at the middle-aged retinue and said.
"The King of Chu is a wise lord, so I am naturally willing to serve him..
Liu Wannian was in awe..
Just as Bai Guhan was about to open his mouth again, a splash appeared on the surface of the lake and a head emerged from the water. It was Gu Xifeng..
When the flood dragon pushed down the huge rocks, it controlled its strength quite skillfully. Not a single huge rock fell into the lake. Gu Xifeng saw that huge rocks fell and swam to the bottom of the lake with all his might. Only after seeing that there was no movement for a long time did he surface..
Gu Xifeng swam towards the shore. Bai Guhan was delighted when he saw that the person who had climbed up Tianjian Peak was the one who had surfaced. When Gu Xifeng climbed up, he quickly went forward to ask..
"Brother, what happened on Skysword Peak? Did you see any dragon beasts?.
Bai Guhan stared at Gu Xifeng and asked anxiously. Chu Ningjing also turned her attention to Gu Xifeng and waited for his answer..
:.
"Your Highness, there are dragons on Tianjian Peak! I saw the dragon beast with my own eyes.".
"Gu Xifeng's face was full of shock, and he spoke shakily..
Then, he described in detail what he saw on Skysword Peak, but he concealed the fact that he hid behind everyone. When asked how he escaped, he only said that he was lucky and did not get entangled by the dragon beast, which was why he jumped off the cliff and escaped..
Bai Guhan listened to Gu West Wind's description, but he did not delve into what he said. His face was full of joy..
" Good! Great! It's the legendary flood dragon. This trip has been worth it! Brother, you've done a great job for me. I'll double the reward I promised you before!" Bai Guhan said excitedly and patted Gu Xifeng's shoulder heavily..
" Your Highness, thank you!" Gu Xifeng pretended to be ecstatic and bowed to Bai Guhan. However, his heart ached. The information he had given was all fake. How could he get the reward? Twenty thousand gold taels had been wasted just like that..
"Brother Chu, since we've found out that there are dragons on Tianjian Peak, we'll have to rely on our own methods to see who wins..
The white man turned and looked at Chu Ningjing..
"Please show mercy, Your Highness..
Chu Ningjing smiled modestly..
" It's strange. Didn't the Taichu Dynasty and Galaxy Sect send anyone here?" Bai Guhan asked curiously..
"This is one of my doubts. Logically speaking, the news that there is a dragon on Black Cloud Mountain came from the Absolute Beginning Dynasty. How could they give up the chance to get the dragon beast? There is something fishy about this matter. We have to be careful..
Chu Ningjing nodded and said, his face also full of doubts..
"Why isn't anyone here? I arrived early, but I'm too weak. I can only wait and see..
.
.
Huang Xin, this scammer. If he doesn't arrive soon, the flood dragon will be captured by these two forces..
Gu Xifeng silently observed his surroundings, but he found nothing. He did not detect any traces of Huang Xin..
" Forget it. Even if Absolute Beginning has some conspiracy, we can counter it. I don't believe that a Saint from Galaxy Sect would come here personally. If a Saint came, he would have attacked us long ago. Why hide it?.
White cold open mouth..
"Let's go to the top of Tianjian Peak and see the true face of this flood dragon. I can't wait any longer..
White cold look at the sky sword peak, rubbing his hands said.
"Your Highness, please..
Chu Ningjing made a gesture to invite him. Bai Guhan did not hesitate either. He led his subordinates and the experts who had joined at the last minute, including Gu Xifeng, towards the mountain wall of Tianjian Peak. Chu Ningjing followed closely behind..
The two men with ulterior motives had a tacit understanding that they would not fight again until they saw the dragon..
Both groups were experts at this time, and their climbing speed was very fast. Gu Xifeng was ordered to lead the way, but he deliberately lowered his climbing speed, leaving Bai Guhan speechless. In the end, he asked his white wolf to carry Gu Xifeng..
The white wolf was very unwilling, but its master insisted. It reluctantly let Gu Xifeng climb onto its back. This beast was indeed amazing. Even though there was someone on its back, it was still moving at full speed. Its claws easily inserted into the rock wall, almost running on the cliff..
Soon, everyone arrived at the peak, but they did not see any traces of the flood dragon..
The fog was still thick above the summit, and the flood dragon was nowhere to be seen. Under Bai Guhan's instructions, Gu Xifeng had no choice but to lead the way, greeting Bai Guhan's family again and again in his heart..
They walked past the remains of the experts who had come with Gu Xifeng, but they still did not see the flood dragon. Everyone was puzzled. Could it have escaped to the bottom of Tianjian Peak again? At this moment, a huge monster charged at everyone. In an instant, three North Chu soldiers were knocked out by a huge force and disappeared into the thick fog..
Liu Wannian and Shen Gongshi seized the opportunity to attack at the same time and attacked the flood dragon's body. The flood dragon's body was too huge and there was nowhere to dodge..
Liu Wannian's palm, which was filled with Ice True Qi, hit the flood dragon. Shen Gongshi did not use his bare hands. Instead, he pulled out a short knife. The short knife attached with Internal Qi also hit the flood dragon. However, their attacks could not break through the defense of the dragon scale. Even Shen Gongshi's knife only left a shallow mark on the dragon scale..
The flood dragon seemed to have been angered by the attacks of these two people. A terrifying dragon roar resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Sword Peak. The flood dragon charged at everyone like a madman. Everyone was either bitten by the flood dragon or swept by the dragon tail. In just a moment, more than ten experts died. Gu Xifeng took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly hid in the thick fog..
At this moment, the flood dragon seemed to sense that Bai Guhan and Chu Ningjing were the leaders, so it rushed towards them. A muscular man wearing armor behind Chu Ningjing stepped in front of Chu Ningjing and blocked the flood dragon's charge with his bare hands. A substantial Qi and blood power seeped out of his body. It was actually a Grandmaster Realm expert with a physical cultivation technique..
Bai Guhan's white wolf also blocked in front of him, but it trembled under the dragon's might. A black figure moved as fast as lightning and attacked the dragon head. The flood dragon sensed it and quickly retreated. Shen Gongshi's Black Wind Leopard missed and continued to attack the flood dragon..
The external grandmaster also attacked the flood dragon fiercely. Three people, one beast, and four grandmasters fought fiercely with the flood dragon. For a moment, it was difficult to resolve the battle..
