King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 694 219: Daring Rescue in the Capital, Peril Among Heroes of the Xiongying Society

At this moment, "Long Arm Fist" Liao Pei stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Lu, Miss Yang, the words of the Grand Squad Leader are very true. Although your martial arts are high, this journey to the Celestial Prison is indeed too perilous. Our comrades from the Heroic Sakura Association will do their utmost to rescue Brother Wu. Your staying here in peace is the greatest support you can give us."

"Heaven and Earth Saber" Lie Quan also chimed in, "Yes, the two of you, if anything were to happen to you, neither the Grand Squad Leader nor we could be at ease. The branch here requires intelligent people like you to oversee it."

Everyone offered their persuasion one after another, urging Lu Hongye and Yang Xue'Er.

Lu Hongye and Yang Xue'Er, listening, felt somewhat unwilling in their hearts, but also understood the reason behind those words.

They lifted their heads, looking at Shi Feiyang, their eyes filled with worry and concern.

Lu Hongye tightly held Shi Feiyang's hand and said, "Brother Shi, make sure to return safely. We will be here waiting for you."

Yang Xue'Er, with slightly red eyes, said, "Brother Shi, please be careful, we are hoping for your triumphant return."

Shi Feiyang gently stroked their hair, nodding as he said, "Rest assured, I will certainly return safely with our brothers."

With that, he released them, turned to face the assembly, his eyes once again resuming their sternness and determination, leading everyone towards the intricate labyrinth-like underground waterway.

The underground waterway resembled a cursed gigantic demon cave, dark and damp to the point of suffocation, its vast mouth agape, awaiting the arrival of everyone. The pervasive stench was sharp and nausea-inducing, as if one were in an ancient tomb a thousand years old.

The walls were covered with thick moss, slick and slippery like snake skin, seeming as if grotesque and terrifying monsters could erupt forth at any moment.

The sewage beneath was icy cold, reaching over the ankles, and every step elicited a chilling "squelch" sound, echoing clearly in the deathly stillness of the waterway, like whispers of demons in the dark, ominously foreboding.

Everyone held their breaths, nerves taut as bowstrings drawn to the fullest, tightly gripping their weapons as they vigilantly scanned their surroundings, constantly on guard for dangers lurking in the shadows.

However, danger descended abruptly like a phantom hidden in the darkness, catching everyone off guard.

A sudden rustling sound of water echoed through the waterway, akin to surging tides, carrying an overwhelming sense of pressure that instantly filled the entire passage.

Immediately following, a school of piranhas trained by the Jinyi Guard swam forth with astonishing speed, like black lightning.

These piranhas were unexpectedly large, each half a person's height, their scales glinting with a cold luster, akin to an invulnerable black armor.

Their teeth were as sharp as knives, and as they swam through the water, they emitted a chilling "clack-clack" sound, as if toll bells from hell announcing the imminence of death.

In the blink of an eye, one brother, unable to evade in time, had his ankle fiercely bitten by a piranha.

The piranha jerked its head forcefully, its strength immense, instantly dragging the brother into the water. His shrill and miserable scream echoed endlessly in the enclosed waterway, sharp and desperate, sending shivers down one's spine and chilling one to the core.

In an instant, the school of piranhas, like wolves scenting blood, swarmed and immediately submerged the brother.

The surface of the water abruptly bloomed with a splash of blood, the crimson quickly spreading through the water, and in a moment, all that was left was a set of white bones floating on the water's surface, gruesome to the point of being unbearable to witness directly.

On witnessing this, everyone was overwhelmed with a mixture of sadness and fear, and they all unsheathed their blades.

Grand Squad Leader Shi Feiyang's eyes were like a hawk's, his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the darkness, tracking the movements of each piranha.

As the Celestial Frost Blade in his hand swept through the air, it traced arcs of fierce blade energy, like cold stars flickering in the night sky.

He performed the "Hundred Victories Saber Technique," blade shadows flickered, and the blade energy crisscrossed, each strike imbued with immense power, slaying the piranhas that came near. His posture was agile, in the water like a swimming dragon, his movements were as fluid as flowing water, showcasing the demeanor of a grandmaster.

The elder of the Heroic Sakura Association, "Long Arm Fist" Liao Pei, let out a shout like a resounding bell, his dual palms dancing as he executed the ultimate technique of Long Arm Fist.

His arms were as if boneless, retracting and extending freely, akin to two spirited flood dragons.

With each strike of his palms, accompanied by the whistling wind, heavy palm force struck the piranhas, sending them flying and crashing against the walls of the waterway with a dull thud. Liao Pei's face flushed, veins bulging on his forehead, resembling meandering snakes, yet he fought more valiantly, his eyes revealing an indomitable fighting spirit.

"Heaven and Earth Saber" Lie Quan held his saber with both hands, the blade light gleaming like silvery lightning.

He executed the "Heaven and Earth Saber Technique," the moves expansive and vigorous, extremely powerful, each slash seemed as if to cleave the waterway in two, the saber energy passing through, slicing the piranhas into halves, with the blood instantly dyeing the surrounding sewage red, making the stench of blood even more intense.
