Jungle Ambush

Zhao Qiushan's voice was loud.

He was deliberately saying it for Shen Yi to hear.

And as Zhao Qiushan expected, Shen Yi stopped immediately upon hearing the voice.

Shen Yi turned his head.

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, like the edge of a blade.

Zhao Qiushan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

He subconsciously took a half step back.

But then he realized, he had only complained a couple of times, what was he afraid of? It wasn't as if Shen Yi would actually attack him.

What's going on?

"Are you saying that your coming here with me wasn't Qin Jianghe's decision, but someone else recommended you?"

Shen Yi stepped closer.

He raised his head to stare at Zhao Qiushan.

Shen Yi's voice wasn't loud, but it carried its own imposing manner, solemn and sharp, like a blade held to Zhao Qiushan's neck as he spoke.

Zhao Qiushan's hair stood on end in an instant.

This wasn't fear.

But a human's instinctive reaction.

"Yes, yes."

"It was Vice Hall Master Ji who recommended it. What, what do you want?!"

"Looking for trouble?"

Zhao Qiushan's tone rose.

One hand rested on the Xuanhua Axe on his back.

The disciples within the hall behind him all stood behind Zhao Qiushan in unison, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Shen Yi glanced at Zhao Qiushan.

His tone was cold:

"I need to go back."

"Qin Jianghe might be in danger."

Having said that, Shen Yi walked straight into the crowd.

Everyone looked astonished.

Zhao Qiushan was even more confused as to why Shen Yi would say something so random and then turn back.

It made it seem like they, a large group of people, had followed him for so long for nothing, like a joke, or perhaps, this was simply Shen Yi's excuse.

"Hey!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Are you scared and trying to desert at the last minute?"

Shen Yi glanced askance at Zhao Qiushan, and finally confirmed in his heart that this was a fool with only one track mind.

Not an accomplice of Ji Chengkong.

He said solemnly:

"I'll say it again, your Vice Hall Master Ji may be plotting against Qin Jianghe. If you delay, you can only collect his corpse."

Shen Yi gave his final warning, and then ignored Zhao Qiushan, lowered his body, and was about to leap away.

However.

Zhao Qiushan's expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily:

"You're talking nonsense! My Second Brother Ji and Big Brother are as close as brothers, they have a life-or-death friendship, how could he plot against him!"

"Are you using this as an excuse!"

With a whoosh.

Two Xuanhua Axes were grasped in his hands from his back, and he leaped forward, shaking the ground with a bang.

His hill-like figure suddenly leaped high into the air, and then fell like a meteorite on Shen Yi's path.

Zhao Qiushan blocked the way with his axes.

"You better explain yourself clearly!"

"Otherwise, I will never let you desert at the last minute!"

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes, and without regard for the lack of evidence, he said directly, "You fool, don't you understand?"

"Ji Chengkong used the excuse of having you meet me..."

"Deliberately drawing you and Qin Jianghe's confidants away from Broken Blade Hall, his next step is to make a move against Qin Jianghe!"

Zhao Qiushan was suddenly stunned.

Shen Yi walked past Zhao Qiushan, intending to leave.

Suddenly.

Heavy, panting breaths sounded in his ears as Zhao Qiushan said through gritted teeth:

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Did I say you could leave?!"

The axe in Zhao Qiushan's hand swung instantly, like a giant fan, stirring up a whistling gale that slammed down towards Shen Yi's back!

Whoosh!

Zhao Qiushan was a genuine first-rate expert.

With a deep foundation.

Although he held back out of consideration for Qin Jianghe, he still used eighty percent of his strength.

This axe was unstoppable, earth-shattering.

And Shen Yi had naturally never been careless enough to leave his back exposed to anyone, even if that person was Qin Jianghe's so-called brother.

Instantly.

Shen Yi reacted.

He exerted force with his foot, turning his body to the side in an instant, avoiding the descending axe back by a hair's breadth.

Grass Treading Flight immediately activated.

His body was as light as a feather as he stepped on the axe handle to borrow momentum, soaring up like a Peng bird, and his right hand drew Cold Night from its sheath.

The sheathed blade was drawn, revealing its sharp edge!

The thick-backed blade slashed diagonally with lightning speed, with the force of Mount Tai pressing down, instantly making Zhao Qiushan feel short of breath.

He only had time to retract the nearest part of the axe to block!

Clang!

The sheathed thick-backed blade slammed heavily onto the axe, emitting a booming sound like a great bell.

Array Breaker Art circulated inner energy ceaselessly, flowing through the Cold Night's blade, making Zhao Qiushan feel as if the thick-backed blade weighed a thousand pounds.

Bang!

Zhao Qiushan's knee slammed heavily into the ground, smashing out a shallow pit, and his arm was twisted in a strange way.

He was directly suppressed by Shen Yi's blade until his shoulder dislocated.

With a clang, Zhao Qiushan's axe fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain, as Shen Yi pinned him to the ground with a blade pressed against his back, immobilizing him.

"Chen Yu!"

"What exactly are you trying to do?!"

The exchange between the two happened in the blink of an eye.

The outcome was already clear.

Only then did the Broken Blade Hall disciples react, immediately drawing their blades with a clang, surrounding Shen Yi.

Shen Yi chuckled, stepping on Zhao Qiushan's back, suppressing his bear-like body.

"You attacked me."

"And you're asking me what I'm doing?"

He picked up the long blade and tapped Zhao Qiushan's head with the scabbard, his tone as calm as if he were chatting about everyday matters:

"Did your brain get waterlogged?"

Zhao Qiushan felt a surge of anger, his hair standing on end!

He was about to rise up and resist.

Shen Yi's cold words rang in his ears:

"I don't have time to mess around with you here. If you cause any more trouble, I won't be polite!"

Clang!

In conjunction with Shen Yi's grim words, Cold Night was drawn a few inches from its sheath, and the sharp blade exuded a chilling aura, making Zhao Qiushan's neck feel cold.

Shen Yi's fierce killing intent made Zhao Qiushan feel that if he said another word, he would really be separated from his head.

Shen Yi saw that Zhao Qiushan had become obedient.

With a metallic sound.

He sheathed the blade.

Shen Yi withdrew his foot from Zhao Qiushan's back and walked straight towards the crowd of blade-wielding men.

Everywhere he passed.

The disciples of the Broken Blade Hall were all overwhelmed by Shen Yi's invincible aura. Although they held swords and sabers, they couldn't help but give way.

Shen Yi at this moment.

His aura was even more imposing than their hall master, Qin Jianghe.

Shen Yi quickly walked out of the encirclement.

Suddenly, he focused and looked up.

A silver bell-like female voice came from the jungle ahead at that moment, "This brother Chen Yu is truly impressive."

"Even Zhao, the blockhead of the Broken Blade Hall, can't hold you down, huh?"

Along with the voice.

Two figures, one white and one black, blocked the mountain road in the distance.

Instantly, including Zhao Qiushan, everyone in the Broken Blade Hall felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The newcomers were none other than the Black and White Rakshasa of the Yaksha Branch.

They were old rivals of the Broken Blade Hall.

Besides the Black and White Rakshasa, two sturdy, bare-chested men jumped out from the side of the jungle mountain road. These two were also acquaintances of Shen Yi.

They were the Four River Devils who had once intercepted Shen Yi on the Source River.

However, Shen Yi had killed one of the Four River Devils and crippled another.

Now, only two were left who could move.

The Long River Duo and the Black and White Rakshasa were all top-notch experts, and Zhao Qiushan's eyelids twitched when he saw them.

Besides these five experts.

A rustling sound came from the surrounding jungle.

In an instant.

Countless men, some holding broadswords and others wielding steel forks, jumped out.

They surrounded Shen Yi and the group from the Broken Blade Hall, leaving no way out.

The newcomers were all members of the Whale Gang's Yaksha Branch, and their numbers were almost double that of the Broken Blade Hall.

At this moment.

Even someone as slow-witted as Zhao Qiushan realized.

This was not an encounter, but a premeditated ambush!
