Chapter 287 Reckless Yan Lingji
An earthquake in Dai directly blocked several mountain roads connecting Dai with Zhao and Yan. In this situation, Han Fei and others stayed and had to wait for the passage ahead to be opened again before they could set off.
However, the obstruction of the mountain road could not stop the other group of people.
"Only by crossing the mountains ahead can we enter Dai. After entering Dai and passing Feihu Pass, we can be considered to have truly returned home." Amidst the mountains, Yan Dan took a sip of water and then looked into the distance. Although the mountain ahead was high, it did not have much impact because they were all masters and facing the mountains was much easier for them than ordinary people.
Just as Yan Dan was sighing, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the top of the mountain.
"Is this the fluctuation of Yin-Yang magic?" Yan Fei, the only female in Yan Dan's group, was the first to notice the movement on the top of the mountain. Here, her martial arts skills were the highest.
"Someone from the Yin-Yang School?" Yan Dan was shocked when he heard that. This time when he escaped, he not only offended the Qin State, but also the Yin-Yang School. It would be strange if the Yin-Yang School would let him go after kidnapping Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School.
What's more, in the eyes of the Yin-Yang School, the current Yan Fei is no different from a traitor. None of the schools of thought will show mercy to traitors, not to mention that the Yin-Yang School is known for its sinister and vicious behavior.
So after hearing Yan Fei's words, Yan Dan's first thought was that the people from the Yin-Yang family were catching up with them.
Yan Dan's martial arts skills are very good. Among the younger generation, even if he is not as good as Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, he is not much worse. But unlike people like Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, Yan Dan is not a so-called warrior. Martial arts are just a tool for Yan Dan to achieve his goals.
If it weren't for the fact that the only way to inherit Mohism was to be a descendant of a great master, and if it weren't for the fact that the martial arts of the descendant of a great master had to be very strong, Yan Dan would not even be willing to practice martial arts.
Therefore, when Yan Dan realized that the person in front of him might be a disciple of the Yin-Yang School who was chasing him, the first thing he thought of was not to kill the enemy, but to avoid him.
"Is it her?" Just as Yan Dan was about to escape, Yan Fei showed a look of realization.
Noticing Yan Fei's reaction, Yan Dan became even more alert.
Just when Yan Dan was preparing to use the Thirty-Six Strategies to escape, several people who were fighting in the distance appeared in their sight while moving quickly.
"The man holding the sword is Yanri, Luowang's top-notch killer. Who is that woman? Do you have such a powerful master at such a young age in your Yin-Yang family?" Yan Dan asked Yan Fei in surprise.
In Yan Dan's sight, he only saw the woman in blue clothes. Every time she swung her palm, there was a surge of true energy. Luo Wangyan Ribon was a first-class master among first-class masters. The sword she used was a top-notch sword like the Eight Swords of the King of Yue. Every time she swung the sword, it had the power to split gold and break stone.
But even such a sword was blocked by a young woman with just her hands. Not only could she block Yanri, she could even deal with several other Luowang killers at the same time.
This kind of martial arts is probably better than Yan Fei's.
But isn't she the strongest among the younger generation of Yin-Yang disciples? How could there be someone stronger than her? Could this person be the Moon God of Qi? Yan Dan could only associate the Yin-Yang disciple who was fighting with the Luowang assassin with the Moon God of Qi.
In the past, through Yan Fei, Yan Dan learned a lot of secrets about the Yin-Yang School, including the fact that the Yin-Yang School chose Qin but left the Moon Goddess in Qi.
However, in the Yin-Yang family, the Moon Goddess ranks below the East Lord. Shouldn’t she be stronger than Yan Fei? Or has the Moon Goddess experienced things in Qi during the past two years that Yan Fei could not experience?
Yan Fei didn't have as many thoughts as Yan Dan at this time. She saw Yue Shen being besieged by Luowang killers. Even though the sisterhood between the two was thick and dirty, and even though she was escaping this time, she still had a sincere sisterhood between her and Yue Shen. Seeing Yue Shen in danger, Yan Fei subconsciously wanted to take action.
But at this time, some people were unwilling to let Yan Fei take action.
Just when Yan Fei was about to attack, Yan Dan stopped her. In front of Yan Fei's puzzled gaze, Yan Dan said, "Those people in front are our enemies. We just need to wait and see. There is no need to attack."
"But something unexpected might happen to the Moon Goddess." However, Yan Fei did not completely agree with Yan Dan's words.
This is Yan Fei's current state. Although Yan Dan can influence Yan Fei's choice imperceptibly, it is not to the extent that Yan Dan can completely change Yan Fei's will based on his own wishes.
What Yan Dan can do is to let Yan Fei make a choice that is beneficial to him, rather than completely decide Yan Fei's choice.
"That's Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School. I remember the Moon Goddess once said that the reason why the Yin-Yang School chose Qin instead of you was largely due to Dongjun. I thought she loved Qin so much, but I never thought that she would appear next to Yan Dan now. Could it be that she has fallen in love with Yan Dan?" In a place where Yan Dan and Dongjun couldn't notice, Yan Lingji leaned close to Yang Chong and whispered, with a look of gloating in her eyes.
Although Yan Lingji didn't like Yue Shen very much, she at least knew that Yue Shen was one of her own. However, she had a completely different impression of Dongjun Yan Lingji.
Because Yueshen took the initiative to join her, Yan Lingji was still a little proud, proud that her man could get the favor of others, but as for Dongjun, Yan Lingji had no good feelings at all for Yan Fei who took the initiative to choose Qin instead of Qi, because she saw Yan Fei's contempt for Yang Chong from Yan Fei's choice, and she didn't like such people.
So, after seeing Yan Fei, Yan Lingji naturally had nothing good to say.
"Maybe." Observing from a distance, Yang Chong could not tell any clues from Yan Fei at this time, and just thought that Yan Fei was having a love brain attack.
"I say, how do you feel now? Back then, Yan Fei did not choose you but chose the Qin State. Now she appears next to Yan Dan. Don't you feel anything at all?" Yan Lingji suddenly asked.
"What you said sounds like I want to take all the women I have had any contact with into my harem. Am I that kind of person?" Yang Chong rolled his eyes. Although Yan Lingji's words were tricky, they were also really unreasonable.
"Isn't it? Just admit it. Don't I understand you men?" Yan Lingji was aggressive. Yang Chong was becoming more and more powerful now. He had established the image of a wise leader in Qi State and was respected by people. But Yan Lingji always wanted to see the dark side of Yang Chong.
This is Yan Lingji's bad taste, and it is also caused by Yan Lingji's deep inner anxiety.
As Yang Chong's power grew, more and more women appeared around him. Even though Yan Lingji was a thick-skinned person, as a woman, how could she not have any thoughts?
Yan Lingji also has a sense of crisis. Unlike Zi Nu who has her own career, Niu Shang who has her own child, and Nanyue who is about to reunite with her mother, even if Hong Lian is miserable, she still has several relatives around her. Yan Lingji only has Yang Chong. If she loses Yang Chong, it means she loses everything.
So many times, Yan Lingji couldn't help but want to satirize Yang Chong. She hoped that in this way she would make Yang Chong realize that she would always be the one and only Yan Lingji.
"Maybe all men have such thoughts, but there are differences between men. What they do after they fall in love is the key to the difference." Yang Chong explained calmly. As for helping Yue Shen, Yang Chong had no plans to do so in the short term.
Although Na Luowang Yanri is a top-notch killer, Yue Shen is also a top master of the Yin-Yang School. She has gained a lot from being with Yang Chong in the past two years. But in terms of martial arts, Yue Shen is no weaker than Yan Fei now, and is even stronger.
Now that there is a master like Yanri to increase Yue Shen's practical experience, Yang Chong naturally would not waste such an opportunity.
"You'd better try to fool Zi Nu and Nong Yu with these words, they are the two who will fall for your tricks the most. As for me, I don't believe it. However, now we have two former enemies in front of us. Since you have handed over Yan Ri to Yue Shen, can we take action against Yan Dan? I still remember what Yan Dan did in Xinzheng that year. He was lucky last time and escaped, but it won't be that easy this time." While speaking, Yan Lingji turned her gaze to Yan Dan who was about to withdraw slowly, and murderous intent appeared on her face.
Yan Lingji is just like a cat in front of Yang Chong, but in front of outsiders, she is a real witch. It is not wrong to describe her as cruel.
"Do you want to take action?" Yang Chong asked back.
"Don't you want to? Aren't you concerned about his identity?" Yan Lingji asked back.
"Do I need to consider so much to deal with Yan Dan? Let alone Yan Dan, even if Yan Wangxi was here, I would still keep him. Go ahead, Yan Lingji." Yang Chong said solemnly, but at the end, he said such an inappropriate sentence.
"You just know how to order people around." Yan Lingji made a snort to show her dissatisfaction, but still rushed out at the first opportunity.
Yan Lingji's strength has grown by leaps and bounds over the years. The Baiyue killer who only knew how to play with fire but had poor martial arts skills has now become a true top master. The power of her bloodline has been truly developed, the temperature of the flames she controls has been transformed, and her martial arts have been cultivated to an extremely high level. With the coordination of martial arts and fire witchcraft, it can be said that Yan Lingji is invincible under the Grandmaster.
At this time, Yan Dan and others on the other side decided to leave this place immediately. However, before they could take any action, they saw a stream of heavenly fire rushing towards them from a distance, and its speed was so fast that it was unbelievable.
What was that? Could it really be heavenly fire? Yan Dan and the others opened their eyes wide, but in the next moment, Yan Dan had already reacted. When he was in Xinzheng, he had seen a stunning woman controlling fire.
In the subsequent investigation, he learned that the woman who controlled the fire was called Yan Lingji. She was a former Baiyue killer. For some unknown reason, she got mixed up with Yang Chong and became Yang Chong's person.
Although Yan Lingji was not very powerful at that time, but so many years have passed, Yang Chong has become Qi Wang Chong, and the Yan Lingji back then may have become even more powerful.
A slender figure could be vaguely seen in the sudden firelight. Could it really be Yan Lingji?
Thinking of this, cold sweat appeared on Yan Dan's temples. Without even a moment's hesitation, he fled straight into the distance.
Yan Dan knew very well that when Yan Lingji appeared, it almost meant that Yang Chong was nearby.
Although he and Yan Fei were both rare masters and were not afraid of Yan Lingji, when Yan Dan thought of the possible appearance of Yang Chong, he did not even have the courage to confront him head-on.
When he was in Xinzheng, he had a close brush with death, and the culprit was Yang Chong.
Yan Dan fled, and Yan Lingji chased him relentlessly. Yan Lingji could have obviously approached quietly and then suddenly attacked and hurt him, but she rushed forward in the most ostentatious but also the stupidest way. This made Yang Chong quite helpless. However, he was not new to Yan Lingji's recklessness, but now Yan Lingji was a little too reckless.
Yan Lingji can certainly defeat Yan Dan and his men, but she may not be able to stop them if they are determined to escape. In this case, what can Yang Chong do?
Yang Chong had no choice but to take action himself.
The big commotion caused by Yan Lingji naturally also fell on another battlefield. Yue Shen was lucky enough, because after discovering Yan Lingji, she knew that her teammates had arrived.
But Yanri was in a very bad mood. He had already had a hard time fighting against one Moon God, and if there was another mysterious strong man, his risk would be even greater.
Moreover, although one person may suddenly appear now, will the second or third one suddenly appear next?
Yanri, who is a killer but has a more ambitious goal, does not want to end up here because of a mission. He almost instinctively wants to retreat.
His decision was certainly correct, but it was a little too late.
Just as he was about to break free from the Moon Goddess's entanglement and rely on his assassins for support, a sharp whistling sound came from behind him.
What was that? When Yanri turned around, he saw a sudden strong wind rushing towards him.
How could such a strong wind suddenly appear here? And, no, that was not wind, but a torrent of sword energy? Who on earth could actually emit such a terrifying sword energy? Yanri thought desperately. At the moment, he could not react at all. He could only watch the torrent of sword energy rushing towards him. Although the sword in his hand was sharp, how could it cut off the ubiquitous wind between heaven and earth?
Is my grand ambition going to end here? I have gone through so many years of pain before I could rise again. I still have so many dreams to realize. How can I die here?
Yanri swung his sword at the strong wind in despair and unwillingness, but it was all in vain.
Under the strong wind of sword energy, everything he had was cut off. In an instant, the strong wind dissipated, and only a white skeleton was left in its place.
It turns out that I am just an ordinary person. This is Yanri's last regret.
