King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 333 - 145: Shi Feiyang Champions the Resistance Against the Wokou, Passion Forging Bonds with the Land

Ding Hong’s face was filled with a look of hatred. Thinking of his son Ding Peng who died tragically at the hands of Shi Feiyang, he gritted his teeth and replied, "Brother Zhong, rest assured, I’ll take care of this now. That scoundrel Shi Feiyang, I’ll definitely have him pay with blood!" With that, he hurriedly left.

Zhong Renwang then turned to Xie Zhichuan, sneering, "Nephew Xie, we can’t sit idle either. Since Shi Feiyang is not in Suzhou Prefecture, we’ll strike at the root. We’ll sneak into Shi Mansion at night and capture his beloved wife Gong Simeng. At that time, we’ll see if Shi Feiyang won’t obediently submit." Xie Zhichuan’s previously twisted face showed a trace of a menacing smile, nodding, "Good, Brother Zhong, this plan is brilliant. Let’s set off now!"

Thus, Zhong Renwang and Xie Zhichuan led Divine Sword Manor’s Thirteen Life-taking Swords experts, whipping their horses as they galloped towards Jiangnan’s Suzhou Prefecture.

In mid-spring, Suzhou Prefecture, with willow catkins lightly dancing, drifting in the wind, resembled a sheet of pure white snowflakes, adding poetic sentiment to this Jiangnan Water Village. Peach blossoms bloomed, clusters of pink petals emitting a faint fragrance, attracting bees and butterflies to frolic among the flowers.

The lake’s blue waves rippled, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the drooping willows on both sides. Occasionally, some water birds skimmed over the surface, creating circles of ripples.

The streets were lined with shops, bustling with activity.

The cries of vendors rang out in succession, selling all sorts of goods, from exquisite Su embroidery to sweet pastries, all dazzling to behold. Passersby either hurried past or paused to admire, with expressions filled with love and yearning for life.

Distant mountain ranges layered with verdant greenery merged with the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan Water Village, forming a captivating picture.

In the midst of the mid-spring season, Suzhou Prefecture unfolded like a sublime scroll, emitting vitality everywhere.

The grand Shi Mansion lay within, its courtyards deep, rock formations scattered, streams trickling.

Moonlight like water fell upon the pavilions and towers, casting a silver sheen over everything.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard gently swayed in the breeze, emitting a fragrance, as if whispering the tenderness of spring. Yet beneath this serene and beautiful surface, a thrilling battle was about to unfold.

Previously, Heroic Sakura Association meticulously planned an ambush to resist Japanese invaders and aid Korea. "Flying Eagle Detective" Xie Wen, "Iron Flute Scholar" Xiang Kun, "Divine Archer" Miao Menlong, "Plum Blossom Darts" Shan Zhi, "Round Barrel" Lu Dechu, "Bamboo Pole" Jiang Huotian, "Centipede" Gongsun Ren, "Cyan-faced Beast" Yang Feng and their forces were escorting a convoy that seemed to carry "money and provisions," but in truth, it aimed to lure and annihilate enemies.

And the real money and provisions were securely placed in that deerskin bag at Shi Feiyang’s waist, unseen by mere mortals. This clever arrangement showcased Shi Feiyang’s exceptional wit.

Inside the grand Shi Mansion in Suzhou Prefecture, Shi Feiyang was already aware of Zhong Renwang and others’ plot.

He stood tall in the courtyard, his gaze steady like a torch, addressing "Iron Palm" Wu Zhong and "Mandarin Duck Saber" Xiao Lingling beside him, "Brothers, Zhong Renwang and his scheming bunch will soon fall into our trap. We just need to follow the plan and wait for them to come. This time, we must ensure they never return, ridding Jianghu of this pest!" His voice was deep and powerful, like thunder in the night sky, full of reassuring strength.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong immediately rubbed his fists excitedly, shouting, "Grand Squad Leader, rest assured! I’ve long hoped for a big fight with these guys. This time, we’ll beat them until they roll over, showing them the might of Heroic Sakura Association!" His strong arms waved, as if he’d already seen the enemy’s disgraceful retreat.

Xiao Lingling also tightly gripped her dual blades, the edges glimmering coldly under the moonlight. Her eyes shone with determination as she coldly said, "Exactly, they dared to target Madam Shi, they’re simply courting death! Today, they’ll pay dearly for their foolishness!" Her words carried a chill, making one feel her deep protection of Gong Simeng.

Deep in the night, all was silent.

Zhong Renwang and his group stealthily infiltrated Shi Mansion like ghosts.

Crouching low, they walked cautiously and quietly through the courtyard.

The moonlight cast their shadows long, like a group of messengers from hell.

Suddenly, Zhong Renwang halted, his gloomy eyes warily scanning the surroundings, a strong premonition of danger surfacing in his heart. "Be careful, there’s something peculiar about this Shi Mansion, it seems there’s an ambush." He lowered his voice to the people behind, with a barely noticeable tremble.

No sooner had he spoken, than Shi Feiyang’s clear and authoritative voice echoed from all directions, "Zhong Renwang, Xie Zhichuan, you’ve indeed come. Today is the day of your death!"

As his voice faded, Shi Feiyang, Wu Zhong, Xiao Lingling, and "Water Dragon" Jin Liufu, like divine soldiers, leapt from the shadows, instantly surrounding Zhong Renwang and his party.

Under the moonlight, their figures were steadfast and courageous, like War Gods guarding justice.

Confronted with this, Zhong Renwang not only didn’t panic, but laughed loudly, the laughter echoing in the still night, extraordinarily eerie.

"Shi Feiyang, do you think you can trap us this way? Today, either you die or I perish!" With that, he suddenly executed Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, his palms emitting a faint dragon roar, the strong palm wind seeming to tear the surrounding air apart, striking fiercely at Shi Feiyang. This Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was unmatched in ferocity, causing the stone slabs on the ground to quiver slightly.
