"We'll discuss how many pieces to tear later; let's tear it up first."
The eldest, Peach Root Immortal, said something, and the others echoed him. Peach Leaf Immortal stomped the ground forcefully, swung his legs, and leaped towards Jiang Ning. Peach Branch Immortal and Peach Dry Immortal also leaped up at the same time.
Jiang Ning lightly touched the ground with his toes and gracefully retreated, landing on another large tree.
He didn't intend to confront these people head-on. These six were perfectly coordinated, and he would be at a great disadvantage in a fight. Jiang Ning planned to defeat them one by one.
Fighting these six people in an open area would lead to them being surrounded. Jiang Ning plans to use the funnel principle to deal with them, and this forest is perfect for doing so.
The funnel principle utilizes the geographical environment to ensure that only one or two enemies can enter at a time, resembling a funnel.
The tree trunk was narrow and high up, making it difficult for the opponents to surround him on the ground as they had done before. If several people jumped up to attack him at the same time, he would retreat and move to another tree. As long as these people pursued him, they would inevitably create distance between themselves, which would create a flaw in their combined attack. In addition, their injuries made them no match for Jiang Ning in a one-on-one fight, which gave Jiang Ning an even greater advantage.
Unless it's a battle fought in dire straits, you should always use your advantages to increase your chances of winning.
The Six Immortals of Peach Valley and Jiang Ning began chasing each other through the forest.
Ren Yingying, who was resting in the distance, frowned as she watched this scene.
She wanted to join the fight, but the days of fleeing had taken a toll on her body. She had been tense all the time, but now that she relaxed, the pain in her body felt like it was falling apart, and cold sweat streamed down her forehead. She had very little fighting power.
Seeing that the Six Immortals of Peach Valley had been unable to capture Jiang Ning for so long, Ren Yingying frowned. She sensed something was wrong and began to consider retreating.
Ren Yingying didn't intend to continue like this, and immediately asked the Six Immortals of Peach Valley to lead her to retreat, but the next second her pupils shrank.
After chasing for so long, Peach Blossom Fairy, one of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, lost her patience and rashly increased her speed, widening the gap between herself and the others, creating an opening.
Jiang Ning quickly turned around and charged at him.
Seeing this, Peach Root Fairy, Peach Dry Fairy, and Peach Leaf Fairy became anxious and quickened their pace.
Peach Blossom Fairy and Peach Fruit Fairy were seriously injured and were already slow, so the others were separated by a considerable distance.
Realizing something was wrong, Tao Zhixian turned around and tried to run back to her brothers, but the howling wind behind her grew closer and closer.
call out!
Just as Tao Zhixian was about to turn around and retaliate, a figure swept past him and sped toward their rear. The speed was beyond their imagination, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived behind them.
Tao Shixian saw Jiang Ning quickly close the distance between them, and he could already see the killing intent surging in the other's eyes.
Tao Shixian, his face contorted with rage, turned and tried to flee, but his internal injuries and back pain made him no match for Jiang Ning's speed.
call out!
A biting wind swept in, making the hairs on the back of Tao Shixian stand on end. There was no way to dodge it. She turned around and used her short stick to block.
Dang Dang Dang!
Jiang Ning slashed three times in quick succession, each strike delivered with great force. Even with Tao Shixian's astonishing arm strength, he only felt a tingling numbness in his arm and a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth, but he quickly relaxed.
That alone wouldn't be enough to kill him, but the next second he saw the cold smile on Jiang Ning's face.
Bang!
Jiang Ning swiftly turned and kicked out fiercely. Tao Shixian was caught off guard and his wrist was hit. With a crack, his right hand bent and the short stick fell from his hand.
A sharp pain shot through her wrist, and Momoshi's ugly face contorted in pain. But then she felt a chill in her lower back, followed by an even more intense pain.
Jiang Ning drew his sword, then turned in mid-air and lashed out with his leg, striking Tao Shixian hard on the neck. A clear cracking sound rang out, and Tao Shixian plummeted to the ground with a thud.
"Sixth!"
"Sixth brother!"
Upon seeing this, the other five Peach Valley Immortals shouted in unison. Peach Blossom Immortal, who was closest to Peach Fruit Immortal, immediately ran to the ground, while the other four increased their speed and headed towards Jiangning.
Jiang Ning was prepared and had already withdrawn, a cold smile on his face.
From the very beginning, his target was not anyone else, but only Tao Shixian. This person had a serious back injury and internal damage. If the others were to create distance, he would surely die if he faced Jiang Ning alone.
After killing Peach Blossom Fairy, the other four fairies, apart from Peach Blossom Fairy, were furious and relentlessly pursued Jiang Ning. However, Jiang Ning's figure kept moving through the forest, preventing them from surrounding him.
Seeing that the six immortals of Peach Valley were not only unable to kill Jiang Ning, but were instead killed by one of them, Ren Yingying became increasingly anxious. The next second, her pupils contracted sharply.
Jiang Ning's figure shifted in the forest, and he turned around and rushed towards her at lightning speed, the blood-stained longsword in his hand still gleaming coldly.
Upon witnessing this scene, Ren Yingying's heart stopped. She tried to get up and run away, but her body was completely powerless.
Jiang Ning quickly closed the distance with a few leaps, and the two were now less than three meters apart.
Jiang Ning raised his sword and slashed, while Ren Yingying gritted her teeth and, enduring the excruciating pain, raised her sword to parry.
when!
The short sword was knocked away and spun in the air. Jiang Ning had already closed in on Ren Yingying, gripped the long sword in reverse, and thrust it down with both hands, aiming straight for Ren Yingying's face.
At the critical moment, Ren Yingying slid down, narrowly avoiding the attack. The blade grazed her scalp, sending a few strands of her hair flying.
Tao Genxian and his companions arrived just in time and grabbed Ren Yingying's legs to pull her down, thus saving her life.
Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes, drew his sword, and charged towards the group, his target being Ren Yingying.
Originally enraged by Tao Shixian's death, the Five Immortals of Peach Valley were terrified by Jiang Ning's frenzied attack and quickly protected Ren Yingying from being hit by him.
Jiang Ning's attacks were like a storm, forcing the Five Immortals of Peach Valley to retreat repeatedly. In order to protect Ren Yingying, the five of them were being overwhelmed by Jiang Ning.
"Ouch."
Peach Blossom Fairy's movements were too exaggerated, causing a sharp pain in her left shoulder and slowing her down slightly, leaving her a body length behind the others.
Jiang Ning quickly changed his target and attacked him.
Jiang Ning thrust his longsword repeatedly, all aimed at his left shoulder.
Peach Blossom Fairy was greatly alarmed, and fear spread across her face.
puff!
After blocking several moves, Peach Blossom Fairy was unable to block Jiang Ning's next attack, and her left shoulder was pierced.
The same spot was attacked twice in a short period of time, and Peach Blossom Fairy screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered.
Seeing that another brother was about to be killed by Jiang Ning's sword, the other four Peach Valley Immortals rushed over anxiously.
Jiang Ning sheathed his sword and retreated. The next second, he leaped up and jumped behind the four people, then charged towards Ren Yingying.
Seeing that Ren Yingying was in trouble, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley turned back to rescue her, completely led by Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning leaped down from the air, gripped the longsword with both hands in reverse, and thrust it forcefully towards Ren Yingying.
puff!
The long sword pierced the ground, and Ren Yingying was dragged away by the Four Immortals of Peach Valley.
Jiang Ning's expression hardened. He exerted force in his arm, without drawing his longsword, and pulled down hard, leaving a mark on the ground as he dragged it toward Ren Yingying's head.
collapse!
The longsword could not withstand Jiang Ning's strength and the resistance of the ground, and it shattered into pieces, flying through the air.
At this time, Ren Yingying had already been rescued by the Four Immortals of Peach Valley.
"Come on."
Ren Yingying said with difficulty.
She was terrified by Jiang Ning's madness and dared not stay any longer, urging Tao Genxian and the others to leave.
Tao Genxian and the others were furious, but there was nothing they could do. The other side had Ren Yingying and Tao Huaxian as their two main targets, leaving them helpless. They had no choice but to retreat.
"Walk."
Tao Genxian shouted, and the group was about to leave with Ren Yingying when they quickly separated.
Zheng!
As the sword fragments shattered, Jiang Ning spun around and lashed out, kicking a longer fragment that struck the group and sent it hurtling towards them. At the same time, his size increased dramatically as he sped away.
puff!
The shards pierced Ren Yingying's back, instantly turning it bright red.
Ren Yingying let out a muffled groan, her face extremely pale.
"go!"
Even after being hit, Ren Yingying did not dare to linger and told the Five Immortals of Peach Valley to leave quickly.
Upon seeing Jiang Ning's attack again, the Five Immortals of Peach Valley did not linger. They picked up Ren Yingying and hurriedly fled. However, Peach Blossom Immortal's injuries worsened, causing her to fall behind the other four. She was eventually caught up by Jiang Ning.
"what!"
A shrill scream sounded.
The other four Peach Valley Immortals couldn't help but turn around and glance back. They saw Jiang Ning sitting on Peach Blossom Immortal's body, with only the hilt of his sword and a broken piece of the sword in his hand, which was stuck in Peach Blossom Immortal's neck. Blood flowed from the neck and soaked a large area of the ground.
The Four Immortals of Peach Valley were heartbroken.
"Let's go, as long as the green hills remain, we'll never run out of firewood."
Ren Yingying's face was extremely pale, devoid of any color, and her lips were beginning to turn purple.
The Four Immortals of Peach Valley wanted to turn back and avenge their brothers, but after hearing Ren Yingying's words, their expressions were conflicted, and they still left with Ren Yingying.
Before leaving, the four looked back one last time and found Jiang Ning watching them. Jiang Ning smiled at them.
Jiang Ning sat on Peach Blossom Fairy's corpse. The blood that had just spurted from the corpse had splashed into his eyes, and the blood clung to his eyeballs, making his expression even more gruesome.
His image was deeply imprinted in the minds of the four.
Chapter 152: Returning to Mount Hua
The Four Immortals of Peach Valley have vanished without a trace, having fled far away with Ren Yingying.
Jiang Ning had no intention of continuing the pursuit.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he really can't anymore.
He had already exhausted himself chasing Ren Yingying, and he was in no better shape than Ren Yingying, who was so exhausted that she collapsed in the end. The fact that he was able to fight on despite his physical condition was not only due to his strong physique, but also because the adrenaline he was experiencing temporarily suppressed the negative effects on his body. Otherwise, he should have retreated immediately instead of fighting until now.
Seeing these people flee with Ren Yingying, Jiang Ning's highly tense nerves relaxed slightly.
Jiang Ning stood up from Peach Blossom Fairy's corpse, pulled the broken sword from his neck, and wiped the blood splattered in his eyes with the back of his hand.
As soon as I stood up, a wave of dizziness washed over me, and sharp, needle-like pain shot through my entire body.
His body was protesting.
The excessive and overloaded load caused Jiang Ning's body to feel numb and painful, and he couldn't help but gasp.
At this point, his symptoms were the same as Ren Yingying's before, all of which were signs of exhaustion.
Jiang Ning lost his balance and fell backward, landing on Peach Blossom Fairy's stomach.
At this moment, Peach Blossom Fairy's body was not completely stiff, and her nerves were still functioning. When Jiang Ning sat down, her upper body and legs reflexively lifted up, and then she softly fell back down.
Jiang Ning sat on the corpse, panting. After resting for a while, he tried to stand up, but his body was too exhausted and he couldn't stand up for a while.
Jiang Ning reached out and pressed his hand on Peach Blossom Fairy's head, using his strength to support his head and help him stand up.
Glancing around, not far away, Tao Shixian's corpse lay quietly on the ground, surrounded by shattered fragments of a longsword.
Jiang Ning looked at the broken sword in his hand, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
The swords that fell into his hands seemed to have shorter lifespans than the last.
After a brief sigh, Jiang Ning dragged his weary body away.
We need to leave here as soon as possible. The Four Immortals of Peach Valley might come back at any time to launch a surprise attack. Once we're out of that adrenaline rush, it'll be hard to get back up.
However, Jiang Ning doesn't actually need to worry about this issue.
More than ten miles away.
The Four Immortals of Peach Valley carried Ren Yingying and ran for more than ten miles in one breath, without looking back.
At this moment, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley placed Ren Yingying on an open ground. The four of them stood around Ren Yingying, heads touching, chattering and discussing.
"What should we do? Yingying seems to be dying."
"We can't let Yingying die! We have to save her!"
"How to save?"
