King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 682 217: Yili Rescues Her Sect: Extreme Weather and Gang Ambush (Part 3)

A tremendous crisis, like the dark clouds before a storm, quietly enveloped them, pressing down so hard that it was suffocating.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten thousand Jinyi Guards and soldiers surged like a tide, surrounding the Longmen Grottoes.

The Jinyi Guards wore flying fish uniforms, their scales glinting with a cold light under the sun; in their hands, the Brocade Spring Sabers gleamed icily, arranged neatly and impenetrably, sealing off the grottoes completely.

The soldiers were clad in armor, wielding swords, spears, halberds, and shields, their cold weapons flashing with a chilling light in the world.

The air was filled with an asphyxiating tension, like a string pulled taut to its extreme, ready to snap with a "twang" at any moment.

Yet Shi Feiyang and the others were utterly unaware that danger had quietly descended, still immersed in their investigation for clues, oblivious to the abnormal atmosphere around them. Inside the grottoes, the Buddha statues continued to gaze silently at everything, silently witnessing the impending storm, sighing voicelessly at the capriciousness of fate.

Yang Xue'Er was the first to sense something was amiss, turning her head to look at the dense figures outside the grottoes, a flash of excitement and exhilaration flickering in her eyes like a meteor streaking across the night sky, brilliant and dazzling.

Her jade-like hands clenched tightly into fists, the knuckles turning faintly white from the force, her whole being eager to try.

That charming figure was like a little bird about to spread its wings and fly high. She parted her red lips slightly and said sweetly, "Brother Shi, these Jinyi Guards are so arrogant and domineering, it truly infuriates me! Let's have a battle with them and severely crush their spirits!"

Her eyes brimming with mischief and wit, glimmering with a lively light, as if about to welcome a fun-filled game, not at all considering the crisis at hand, unaware that what lay ahead was a life-and-death struggle.

Shi Feiyang's lips curled into a gentle smile, reminiscent of the warm sun in spring, warming the heart. He reached out and gently ruffled Yang Xue'Er's head, the gesture tender and doting, his tone gentle yet resolute: "Xue'Er, when confronting the enemy, courage alone is not enough; we must rely on strategy to win. Look at these grottoes, they have unique echo properties. Let's use this to subtly maneuver around them." As he spoke, his eyes swiftly scanned every corner of the grottoes, already formulating a plan in his mind, seeking a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xue'Er pouted slightly, a bit unwilling, but she nodded obediently, her eyes still sparkling with a desire for battle. Shi Feiyang led Yang Xue'Er and Shi Xiong, quickly searching for advantageous positions within the grottoes.

His eyes were like torches, sharp as an eagle, carefully observing the surroundings, missing nothing.

Various strategies flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, rapidly calculating responses. Soon, his keen eyes locked onto an excellent spot, where the grotto's walls curved like a crescent moon, providing excellent echo effects.

He leaned slightly forward and softly instructed Shi Xiong and Yang Xue'Er, "Listen to my signal later. Let's use these echoes to catch the Jinyi Guards off guard. Shi Xiong, you are skilled in harmony. Later, cooperate with me to create specific sounds; Xue'Er, you oversee the array and act on opportunity."

The two nodded in unison, their eyes filled with determination.

At this moment, Lv Yuan, Cai Kun, and Xiang Laixiang stood outside the grottoes, their expressions grave.

They knew well that Shi Feiyang possessed profound martial arts, renowned across the Jianghu, and that their own martial prowess was inadequate, by no means a match for him.

Thus, the three huddled together, their eyes glinting cunningly, like three crafty foxes. Lv Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Shi Feiyang is not easy to deal with; we must outsmart him. Let's set up a sound wave trap to trap him, making escape impossible."

Cai Kun and Xiang Laixiang nodded repeatedly, malevolent smiles on their faces.

They ordered someone outside the grottoes to blow a specially crafted horn, the sound sharp and piercing, like an owl screeching at night, reverberating through the grottoes, forming waves of sound, like surging tides, trying to disrupt Shi Feiyang and the others' actions.

Wherever the sound waves reached, the air trembled, and even the Buddha statues within the grottoes seemed to shiver slightly.

Shi Feiyang, however, remained composed, his expression steady, as if he could face Mount Tai crumbling before him without changing countenance.

He took a deep breath, channeling the "Bright Jade Technique" within him.

With the circulation of his Inner Strength, his clothes rustled on their own, flapping wildly.

Then, he unleashed the unique skill "Dragon Roar" from the Divine Dragon Claw Divine Technique, letting out a long roar to the sky, his voice like a dragon's call, mighty and powerful, reverberating through the grottoes, forming a strong sound wave.

This sound wave collided with the horn sound of the Jinyi Guards.

In an instant, the sounds within the grottoes became chaotic, like thousands of troops galloping, dizzying to the mind.

Shi Xiong, following Shi Feiyang's instructions, utilized the harmonic knowledge he learned from Xiang Kun, producing various unique sounds to coordinate with Shi Feiyang's voice.

Yang Xue'Er, holding a Long Sword, vigilantly oversaw the array, ready to handle any sudden situations.

The trio's voices intertwined, forming a unique harmony, like the music of the heavens, yet with hidden mysteries.

This harmony cleverly neutralized the Jinyi Guards' sound wave trap, thwarting their scheme.

After a fierce contest, Shi Feiyang and the others, through wisdom and courage, successfully dismantled the Jinyi Guards' conspiracy.
