Chapter 909: Four Great Sword Sects
Over the next few days, the three of them moved forward at a snail's pace, as Yan Gang's injuries had not yet healed.
Three more days passed, and Yan Gang's injuries had healed somewhat, and his speed had noticeably increased.
"Husband, where exactly is Mount Shu?" Jiang Yunying asked in confusion.
To be honest, Lin Ping had never been to Shushan, but he knew that Shushan was located in Meishan City and that heading due south was the right way to go.
For the first three days, Yan Gang did indeed head due south, but later they clearly veered westward.
"Senior Yan Gang, as far as I know, Mount Shu is not in this direction, is it?" Lin Ping asked doubtfully.
Yan Gang's expression faltered slightly, but he did not directly answer Lin Ping's question.
"Kid, what's your strength?"
Lin Ping immediately became alert, which he could interpret as Yan Gang testing him.
If he's too weak, he might be killed to silence him.
He had also tried to probe Yan Gang's strength, but ultimately failed. There was a peculiar energy within Yan Gang's body that repelled Lin Ping's probes.
Even though Yan Gang was still seriously injured, Lin Ping was not confident that he could win.
The elders of the Shushan Sword Sect must be ruthless characters.
"What do you mean, senior? We don't know martial arts; we just want to go to Mount Shu to learn." Lin Ping said warily.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be at the peak of the fourth stage, and you want to break through to the fifth stage with the help of the power of Mount Shu," Yan Gang said without any hesitation.
Lin Ping's strength was immediately seen through by his opponent, and he revealed a strong hostility.
Since Yan Gang dared to lay his cards on the table, it proved that he had enough confidence to deal with Lin Ping.
"Please do me a favor, senior." Lin Ping tried his best to remain calm, not wanting to immediately start a fight with Yan Gang.
"Hahaha, what kind of bullshit Shushan Sword Sect are you? They don't deserve someone like you." Yan Gang's eyes revealed a chilling aura.
"Could it be that you are not a member of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, senior?"
Lin Ping boldly guessed.
"The Shu Mountain Sword Sect? A bunch of trash. If I, Yan Gang, hadn't been ambushed, would I have been injured by them?" Yan Gang's murderous aura intensified.
Even though he couldn't guess Yan Gang's true identity, Lin Ping knew that he was an enemy of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
"Could you be from the Sword King Sect?" Lin Ping continued to guess.
"You're really smart, kid! You got it right away!" Yan Gang suppressed his murderous aura and laughed heartily.
Lin Ping knew, of course, how terrifying the Sword King Sect was. The thought of saving an elder of the Sword King Sect filled him with deep regret.
"Senior chose to reveal your identity at this time, you must be confident of victory." Lin Ping held Jiang Yunying's hand, already prepared for battle.
"It is indeed a battle." Yan Gang slowly walked towards Lin Ping and the other man, his murderous aura surging, "but not a battle with you!"
"You brat, you claim to be at the peak of the fourth stage, yet you didn't even notice you were being followed by the enemy?" Yan Gang appeared somewhat angry, but in reality, he was lecturing Lin Ping.
Lin Pingke is a man with X-ray vision; his investigative abilities are extraordinary.
Unfortunately, his attention was entirely focused on Yan Gang, and he never expected to be followed.
"You must be tired of chasing me, now get out here!" Yan Gang's deep voice echoed throughout the forest.
shhhhhh!
One after another, figures emerged from the dense forest. Judging from the color of their clothes, they should belong to different sects.
"My life is really worth something, it actually attracted the experts from the three major sword sects," Yan Gang said sarcastically.
Just as Yan Gang said, the masters of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, Ba Mountain Sword Sect, and Wu Mountain Sword Sect gathered here in order to kill Yan Gang.
"Yan Gang, as an elder of the Sword King Sect, you have killed countless people. Today, our three great sword sects will represent the righteous factions to eliminate this demon." The Shu Mountain disciple in white robes said imperiously.
"That's right, eliminate Yan Gang and destroy the Sword King Sect!" the other two sects said in unison.
"What a fine way to rid the people of evil! I'm afraid you've come for the sword manual in my possession," Yan Gang said coldly.
"Yan Gang, stop making excuses. Today is your death day," the people from the three major sword sects continued.
"If I weren't seriously injured, would you juniors dare to talk back like this?"
Despite being surrounded by thirty men, Yan Gang remained completely calm.
"Yan Gang, don't be so arrogant. Even in your prime, you were still injured by the elders of the three great sword sects." The group revealed a sinister smile.
"It's a pity they're already dead!" Yan Gang laughed loudly.
"He killed the three elders?"
boom!
The three sword sects were taken aback, not expecting that the three elders, working together, could not kill Yan Gang.
They are all top-tier masters at the late stage of the fifth dan!
Lin Ping suddenly remembered the situation inside the cave; the three dead men were indeed dressed differently from Yan Gang.
"Damn it, we'll tear you to pieces to avenge the elder!" the men said through gritted teeth.
"Kid, now you understand why I asked about your strength, right? If you want to live, break through desperately, otherwise you'll only face death," Yan Gang whispered in Lin Ping's ear.
Lin Ping glared fiercely at Yan Gang, regretting saving this great demon.
"No need for you to worry, senior. The people of the three great sword sects are not like your Sword King Sect. Why would they make things difficult for a commoner like me?"
Lin Ping slowly walked up to the disciples of the three major sword sects and said with a grin, "Young heroes, I am just a passerby and have no connection with the Sword King Sect."
As he spoke, Lin Ping was about to walk through the crowd.
"Stop right there, you brat, where do you think you're going?"
A sharp longsword was pressed against Lin Ping's throat, and the other man's face clearly showed a menacing murderous intent.
"Young hero, we were just passing by. Yan Gang and I are dressed differently, so we're definitely not from the Sword King Sect," Lin Ping continued to explain.
"With your strength, you are certainly not a member of the Sword King Sect. However, you are unlucky enough to have learned a secret you shouldn't have known, and you must die here."
The man said coldly to Lin Ping.
"A secret I shouldn't have seen?" Lin Ping was a little confused. All he saw was the three major sword sects besieging Yan Gang.
Lin Ping immediately understood: "The people of the Sword King Sect are treacherous and cunning. To deal with these particularly evil people, we should use special methods. Even if the three major sword sects join forces, it is not shameful."
"You ignorant brat, die!"
The opponent swung his longsword, aiming straight for Lin Ping's throat.
In the midst of the crisis, Yan Gang pulled him up from behind.
“Young man, the reason they killed me is because they wanted the treasure on my body, so naturally they can’t let you live.” Yan Gang directly exposed the other party’s ugly face.
That sword strike just now completely changed Lin Ping's perception of the three major sword sects.
Although Yan Gang was bloodthirsty by nature, he was also a generous and forthright person who never resorted to underhanded tactics.
The three major sword sects spout platitudes about benevolence and morality, yet they are willing to harm innocent people in their struggle to seize other people's treasures.
“Young brother, only three of them have reached the fifth level of strength, the rest are only at the fourth level. As long as I hold off the three of them, you can handle the others.” As he spoke, Yan Gang slowly took out an exquisite wooden box from his pocket and quickly handed it to Lin Ping.
