King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 396 - 156: Dragon’s Shadow Unleashed: The Chronicles of Shi Feiyang’s Campaign Against the Raiders

Along the way, they saw the people living in peace and happiness, a scene of harmony. In the fields, busy figures created harmonious images. In the village, children chased and laughed, their laughter echoing throughout; the elders sat in front of their doors, leisurely enjoying the sunshine and chatting, savoring the peaceful afternoon, presenting a serene rural scene.

Shi Feiyang looked at everything in front of him and secretly pondered that the rebellion in Bozhou was like a malignant tumor that, once spread, would deeply affect Liaodong and even the entire Great Ming. His eyes revealed determination and worry, contemplating how to assist Li Hualong in quelling the rebellion and simultaneously contribute to the battle against the Japanese invasion to safeguard the peace of this land and the happiness of its people.

Lin Wanqing, like a blooming flower, quietly accompanied Shi Feiyang.

The two rode side by side, understanding each other without words, able to read each other’s thoughts.

During the long journey, they supported each other. Lin Wanqing occasionally looked at Shi Feiyang with tenderness, her eyes full of love and trust; Shi Feiyang sometimes reached out to gently fix Lin Wanqing’s wind-blown hair, his movements gentle and affectionate, showing a warrior’s tenderness.

Thus, they faced the upcoming challenges together, and through this arduous journey, their love deepened.

Shi Feiyang and Xie Wen escorted Liu Dayou, Qin Yuanyao, and Lin Wanqing, enduring a long and difficult journey, finally arriving at the Liaodong Eagle Beak Rock Sub-Branch. This is an extremely precipitous place, the surrounding cliffs seemingly cut straight by a celestial god’s sharp blade, steep and awe-inspiring.

The peaks soar into the clouds, magnificent and grand, standing proudly like a huge eagle poised to fly, with its majestic presence guarding this ancient and mysterious land.

A gentle breeze carried the cool freshness of early autumn, seemingly whispering stories of this place.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds, speckled across the cliffs, highlighting the marks carved by years even more vividly.

The rocky textures on the cliffs intertwined intricately, like a historical tome. Shi Feiyang and his companions stood before the sub-branch, marveling at the magnificent scene, their hearts filled with awe, astonished by the craftsmanship of nature.

In the forest, Shi Feiyang and Lin Wanqing shared sweet moments for several days.

On the precipitous Eagle Beak Rock, they enjoyed romance and love.

Beneath the Eagle Beak Rock, a waterfall plunged from the heights like a flawless silver chain, its roar reminiscent of thousands of galloping horses, adding mystery and grandeur to their love.

Sheltered in each other’s embrace, Shi Feiyang gently held Lin Wanqing, sharing tales of Jianghu; Lin Wanqing nestled against Shi Feiyang, a happy smile adorning her face, occasionally adjusting his clothes.

Together, they admired the mountain scenery, greeted the first ray of sunrise in the morning, watched the sunset glow in the evening, enjoying rare tranquility and warmth. In this peaceful realm, they temporarily forgot the war’s cruelty, leaving only their genuine and profound feelings.

However, beautiful times are always short. When Shi Feiyang received the Heroic Sakura Association’s Southwest Sub-Branch pigeon mail, learning the Bozhou rebellion was worsening, he had to temporarily put aside these sweet times and set off once more.

At their parting, Shi Feiyang clasped Lin Wanqing’s hand firmly, his hand broad and warm, conveying determination and reluctance.

His eyes filled with deep affection and determination as he gazed at Lin Wanqing, saying, "Wanqing, I will quell the rebellion quickly and return to spend the rest of my life with you."

Lin Wanqing nodded through tears, tears swirling in her eyes; she knew well Shi Feiyang’s responsibility and commitment.

She snuggled into Shi Feiyang’s embrace, her hands tightly hugging him as if to fuse him with her body, whispering, "Feiyang, you must return safely; I await you day and night."

With that, she again fell into Shi Feiyang’s arms, tears streaming out, filled with deep reluctance at his departure.

Lin Wanqing, as the Heroic Sakura Association’s Dharma Transmission Elder and Jishi Hall Master, Eagle Beak Rock Sub-Branch Leader, bore the heavy responsibility of all Liaodong’s sub-branches.

Her heart was filled with longing for Shi Feiyang, yet she held back her tears, showing a strong side. She possessed exquisite medical skills as a versatile medical sage, healing and saving both the people and Martial Arts community; also a gentle elder sister with a chivalrous heart, she formed good relations in Jianghu, maintaining justicia and peace in Liaodong Martial Arts.

Shi Feiyang and Xie Wen, in Lin Wanqing’s tearful gaze, gradually traveled away, their figures slowly disappearing into the winding mountain path’s end.

As they reached the Guangning Prefecture suburban forest, a hundred miles from Eagle Beak Rock, twilight had quietly descended.

In the early autumn evening, the forest was suffused with a murderous air.

The setting sun was blood-red, staining the sky crimson, the twilight filtering through the branches, casting mottled shadows as if the earth was ripped with countless wounds.

The autumn wind whispered through the forest, leaves rustling as if softly weeping or heralding the prelude to the impending bloody battle.

At this moment, a fierce battle cry suddenly erupted in the forest.

Following the sound, they saw a dance of swords, shadows intertwining, a group of people embroiled in fierce combat.
