By this time, his strength had almost fully recovered.
"You go."
Jiang Ning patted the horse, intending to set it free. The horse was exhausted and couldn't walk any further, but Jiang Ning couldn't stop to rest now, so he had to let it go.
Realizing that Jiang Ning was leaving, the horse rubbed against him, somewhat reluctant to part, and then left after a while.
Jiang Ning headed in another direction.
tick.
tick.
I felt a moist sensation on the tip of my nose.
Jiangning looks up.
"It is raining again."
(Thank you all for your support. I really didn't expect so much support; it far exceeded my expectations. I'm very touched, truly touched. However, it also means I've suddenly been burdened with writing over twenty chapters, a bittersweet experience...)
That's all for now. This event ends at 12:00 today. After 12:00, we'll stop this rule and let the authors make up for the missed chapters first. Since the authors don't have any drafts saved up, they write and publish as they go. So it will take some time to make up for these 20-plus chapters. It would be irresponsible of us to keep asking everyone to send gifts if we can't make up for them.
I updated five chapters today; pressure really is a motivator.
The author promises that the chapters that are still owed will be made up later. In addition to the daily updates, there will be extra chapters, at least two. Don't worry, I won't skip it.
There are currently 26 chapters owed, and this is an extra three chapters, leaving 23 chapters to go.
Chapter 436: Bamboo Forest
Crash.
It started raining heavily.
Jiang Ning looked around; the surrounding area was flat and exposed to the elements, with no houses in sight.
Fortunately, he was unharmed and a little rain didn't bother him.
Gulu.
Walking in the rain, my stomach suddenly rumbled slightly, and a feeling of hunger welled up inside me.
Jiang Ning had just experienced a major battle and was greatly exhausted; he now needed food to replenish his strength.
He took out a bag wrapped in cloth from his pocket. There was a little blood on the outside of the cloth, which was blood from his clothes that had seeped in.
I opened the package; inside were a few pieces of dry food.
The bloodstains on the outside of the cloth had not seeped inside, and the dry rations were still clean.
Jiang Ning took out a piece of dry food and put it in his mouth to chew.
During this period, he mostly traveled in the wild, so he brought some dry food with him in case he couldn't find food in the wild and needed some in case.
The dry rations he carried consisted of mixed cakes made from minced meat and vegetables.
Besides the mixed cakes, he also brought sesame seed cakes, both of which can be stored for a long time, but the taste...
It wasn't particularly good, after all, it was dry rations prepared for a journey, so its shelf life was more important than its taste.
But at times like this, being able to eat something is already a huge relief.
The mixed cakes were dry, hard, and difficult to chew.
Jiang Ning ate his dry rations as he traveled.
Dense raindrops fell, pattering against his body, and his blood-soaked clothes began to fade under the heavy rain.
After eating two more dry food cakes, Jiang Ning stopped eating.
The sun sets in the west.
The sky was tinged with darkness.
The rain still hadn't stopped, but it had lessened considerably; what used to be a downpour was now just a light drizzle.
Feeling uncomfortable with her damp clothes clinging to her body, Jiang Ning arrived at a bamboo forest.
……
Are you sure he's come here?
Xiang Wentian looked at one of them and asked.
"Based on my judgment, that should be the case."
The person being questioned did not make any confident assurances.
"From my observation, it seems that King Ning Yan was so tired that he dismounted and continued on his way."
This is a highly skilled tracker; we tracked him all the way here based on his meticulous observation.
Xiang Wentian knew this person's abilities, so he didn't say anything and let the person continue the pursuit.
They are now tracking on foot, and their horses are exhausted.
At this moment, a torrential downpour began, and everyone was soaked to the bone, especially Lan Fenghuang.
Her clothes were all Miao ethnic costumes, which were a bit more revealing than Hanfu. At this moment, the clothes were wet and clung tightly to her skin, further accentuating her figure.
However, no one dared to look at Lan Fenghuang's alluring beauty.
Everyone kept their distance from this leader of the Five Poisons Sect.
"Ok?"
The expert in charge of tracking noticed something, squatted down where Jiang Ning had walked, and then stood up and said.
"Left Envoy, Ning Yanwang has headed east."
Xiang Wentian waved his hand.
"Chase!"
The group continued their pursuit, and after traveling for some time, they arrived outside the bamboo forest.
"To the left."
The expert who had been in charge of tracking said, "Ning Yanwang should have entered the bamboo forest."
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiang Wentian entered the bamboo forest with the others.
……
Green bamboos lead into the secluded path, and blue vines brush against one's clothes.
Jiang Ning walked through the bamboo forest; the rain had already lightened considerably.
There was movement behind him.
Jiang Ning turned around and his expression turned cold.
A number of figures appeared in the distance, heading this way; it was Xiang Wentian and his group.
Xiang Wentian also saw Jiang Ning and his expression changed.
He really is here!
Upon seeing Jiang Ning, Xiang Wentian quickened his pace, and everyone else followed suit.
Seeing the group of people catching up, Jiang Ning quickly assessed their numbers.
Xiang Wentian, Lan Fenghuang, six yellow-robed elders, Shangguan Yun, the old man Zu Qianqiu, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley, and six other experts, totaling twenty-one people.
All of them are top-notch.
Seeing that all these people had caught up with him, Jiang Ning did not hesitate at all and turned to leave.
These people are not ordinary. Apart from the old man Zu Qianqiu and the six unknown experts, Xiang Wentian, Lan Fenghuang, the yellow-robed elder, and others are all skilled in martial arts. If these people join forces to deal with him, he will easily be worn down.
Previously, he was able to fight his way out of a large group of martial arts practitioners, but now that he is surrounded by these twenty-one people, it will be difficult for him to leave.
"Where to go!"
Xiang Wentian harbored the deepest hatred for Jiang Ning. Upon seeing Jiang Ning, he turned and left without looking back. Xiang Wentian had tracked him all the way here and finally caught up with him. How could he let him leave so easily?
call out!
Xiang Wentian unleashed his full inner strength, simultaneously drawing his sword from his waist and sweeping out a burst of sword energy.
The others also joined in.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Jiang Ning, who was running at full speed, did not turn his head. Just as the sword energy was about to sweep over, he dodged to the side. The sword energy hit the bamboo in front of him and shattered into pieces instantly.
when!when!when!
Jiang Ning swung his sword to deflect the hidden weapon flying from behind him, then glanced at the crowd that was hot on his heels.
Although the Huashan Sect's lightness skill wasn't top-notch, thanks to the enhancement of his innate skill, his speed wasn't slow. Even though these people were chasing him relentlessly, they were all left behind. Some of the weaker ones were gradually pushed away by Jiang Ning, and even Lan Fenghuang couldn't catch up.
Although her poison skills were formidable, her own martial arts skills and internal strength were not particularly high, making her at a disadvantage in this kind of pursuit battle.
So far, only Xiang Wentian and the six yellow-robed elders have been closely following behind.
"You little brat, seeing you run away like this today, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth."
Xiang Wentian's cold voice came from behind.
Jiang Ning turned around and glanced at him.
"He is defeated."
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Xiang Wentian's face turned angry, but he did not say anything more.
He knew that Jiang Ning would not be affected by these words.
Jiang Ning and the others hurried through the bamboo forest, but the forest was larger than they had imagined.
call out!call out!call out!
Several more hidden weapons came flying at Jiang Ning. He didn't turn around, but dodged them while running. Then he swung his sword back and knocked one of the hidden weapons away with a clang.
Although Jiang Ning dodged these attacks, it was inevitable that Xiang Wentian and the others would close the distance a bit.
when!when!when!
The two sides gradually closed the distance during the pursuit.
call out!
Xiang Wentian was the first to approach, and thrust his sword straight at him.
Jiang Ning turned and blocked.
when!
As the two swords clashed, Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened.
The opponent's sword is not simple.
You can't use the Gentleman's Sword to fight head-on, otherwise it will be useless after this battle.
Realizing this, Jiang Ning withdrew his hand and retreated, but the other six yellow-robed elders had already caught up.
Lan Fenghuang and the others also arrived.
call out!
Blue Phoenix made a direct move, sending a venomous snake flying straight towards her with a wave of her hand.
Chapter 437: The Sword Breaks (Bonus Chapter 4, April 26)
hiss~
The flying venomous snake opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, as if one could see the venom on its fangs.
Jiang Ning glanced at it, then swung his sword and cut it in two.
call out!
