Chapter 193: He is quite nice
Chapter 193: He is quite nice
After hearing Yue Buqun’s words, Master Dingyi and Taoist Tianmen did not react, but Linghu Chong and Ning Zhongze were both stunned.
“That’s impossible. It’s a cliff.”
It’s no wonder that Linghu Chong reacted like this. Qianchi Chuang is the only possible way to reach Mount Huashan, as the other three sides are all cliffs.
Jiang Ning said: “Although the back mountain is a cliff, considering the terrain, it is the most likely way to climb the mountain.”
Huashan is surrounded by rocky cliffs on all sides, and even the Thousand-foot Climb is nearly vertical, especially the West Peak, which is a bottomless abyss. Climbing up Huashan is as difficult as ascending to heaven, but the back of the North Peak, although steep, is still possible.
Jiang Ning had no doubt that there would be no one among the group of people at the foot of the mountain who would take a different approach.
Yue Buqun pondered for a moment after hearing this.
“Well, since you said so, I will go to guard the back mountain.”
Although he felt it was unlikely, it was always better to be cautious. If Jiang Ning could hold on, he might as well go to the back mountain. As long as they defended the Qianchi Chuang, even the entire enemy army would be useless.
After saying that, Yue Buqun left.
“It looks like they won’t be attacking the mountain again in the short term.”
Linghu Chong glanced down and saw that the fire had weakened, but it was still burning, burning the corpses.
After the burning, the corpses lying on the Qianchi Building curled up and then rolled down. A burnt smell came up from below, and Linghu Chong couldn’t help but cover his nose.
After taking another look, Linghu Chong went back.
The next checkpoint after Qianchi Chuang is Baichi Gorge, where a group of disciples from the Huashan, Hengshan and Taishan sects sat. They were all sitting on the stairs, looking at Jiang Ning who sat down to rest not far away. They all looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
“Senior Sister Du, has Junior Brother Jiang Ning always been so cruel?”
A Hengshan disciple asked Du Lanyin who was standing beside him.
Some young Taoist priests from the Taishan Sect couldn’t help but come over when they heard this.
They had heard of Jiang Ning’s name before, but seeing him with their own eyes was another matter.
“This……”
Du Lanyin didn’t know what to say after hearing this.
“He’s not that cruel. Junior brother is a pretty good person.”
There was a huge contrast between Jiang Ning’s usual behavior and his killing behavior, so much so that it was a little difficult for the Huashan disciples to adapt to it, but it was not difficult to accept. At least in Du Lanyin’s eyes, the words Jiang Ning said to her in Xiangyang were still fresh in her memory.
“what?”
Linghu Chong was sitting on the stone steps bored. He glanced casually and saw a group of ants passing by in a row on the steps.
He had nothing to do, but suddenly he became excited, raised the torch and watched the group of ants with great interest.
He was idle and had nothing to do, and the disciples from the other three sects also had nothing to do. Some of them had already started to rest, leaning against the rocks.
Jiang Ning was sitting on the stone steps, a little further away from the Qianchi Building.
The burnt smell down there is a bit unpleasant.
……
At the foot of Huashan Mountain.
After burning for a long time, the flames on the Qianchi Building had been extinguished, but the pervasive burnt smell made the people in the martial arts world want to vomit.
Sima Da and other people who had some prestige and power came to a place not far from Qianchi Building and watched this scene in silence.
Sima Da took a torch and looked up, but the pitch-black Huashan Mountain made it impossible for him to see the situation above.
There are more than 300 stone steps in Qianchi Building, which are almost vertical and 200 meters high. He cannot see clearly at this distance even in the daytime. Now it is night, and he cannot see clearly. He tries to open his eyes wide and can only see a few faint lights at the end above, but nothing else.
“What should we do? Island Master Sima?”
One person looked at Sima Da and asked.
Sima Da knew him. He was the leader of the Jiujiang Baijiao Gang, and his surname was Shi.
Hearing this man’s question, Sima Da spread his hands.
“No way.”
I can’t go up, I really can’t go up.
This Qianchi Building, which is several hundred meters high, is like a natural moat separating the top of the mountain from the bottom of the mountain. There is also a Ning Yanwang guarding the gate on top, so no one can stop him.
“How about we burn Huashan Mountain?”
Someone suggested, with a sinister look on his face.
Since the other side can burn them, they will fight back.
However, after this person made his suggestion, no one responded and simply treated him as if he did not exist.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the man felt embarrassed and retreated back into the crowd.
Someone in the crowd gave him a thumbs-up and praised him.
“That’s a good idea, brother. Don’t say it again next time.”
Although his tone was one of praise, his face showed a hint of mockery.
They are not good men and women. If they could have burned it, they would have done so long ago. Why did he have to bring it up?
Huashan is a shabby place unlike any other place, it is all made of rocks. They were all blocked under the Thousand-foot Climbing and couldn’t burn it even if they wanted to.
“I’m a rough guy. I have no other options. I’ll just have to use force. If you have any ideas, please let me know.”
Sima Da spread his hands, indicating that he was at a loss.
“In my opinion, we should just use force. I don’t believe the Huashan Sect can hold out.”
One person spoke up, but was immediately refuted by the leader of Jiujiang Baijiao Gang, Shi, who shook his head.
“No, the other side can stop us with just one person, not to mention that they have more than one expert. They take turns guarding us and we can’t kill them. By then, our casualties will be even more severe, and the loss will outweigh the gain.”
Moreover, things like what happened just now cannot happen again. They are a group of people from various forces and individual individuals gathered together. If too many people die, it will hurt their morale too much, and once the morale collapses, it cannot be recovered.
“They have experts, and so do we.”
The person who was refuted also said: “Since the other side has experts guarding the mountain, let’s also organize experts to attack the mountain.”
There are thousands of people on their side. Although most of them have poor martial arts skills, there are still many masters, and even a lot of top-notch fighters can be gathered together.
“Island Master Sima, Gang Master Shi.”
At this time, Ji Wu Shi stood up and spoke to the two of them.
“In my opinion, it would be very difficult to attack Huashan from the front. Why not try to attack from other places?”
“other places?”
Sima Da frowned.
“But Huashan is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. How can we climb it from anywhere else except here?”
Ji Wu Shi smiled upon hearing this and said, “During the day, I once observed Huashan Mountain and went to the back of the North Peak. I found that although it is steep over there, the terrain is relatively better than the other sides, so it may be a little possible.”
Sima Da frowned and said nothing when he heard this, looking at the others.
The others were also silent and thoughtful.
“You can try it.”
Gang leader Shi spoke.
When others saw that someone had expressed their opinions, they didn’t have any good ideas, so they all said they would give it a try.
Ji Wu Shi smiled when he saw this.
He had wanted to say these words during the day, but after being talked back by that reckless man, he just watched them being humiliated coldly. These reckless men would not listen to him unless they were taught a lesson.
Ji Wushi did not speak again until they suffered a great loss.
Chapter 194: Emotional Expert
“In that case, let’s fix it for now.”
After attacking for several hours, it was already late at night. It was now dark and the road was steep, so we couldn’t attack up. We had to wait until tomorrow morning.
“Deal with the bodies.”
After the discussion, the leader of Jiujiang Baijiao Gang, Shi, ordered people to deal with the bodies of those who were burned to death under the Qianchi Chuang.
“Yes, Gang Leader.”
Upon hearing this, the members of the Baijiao Gang bowed in agreement and then came to the Qianchi Building to carry the corpse.
As soon as they approached here, a strong burnt stench filled the air. Charred corpses were piled up together, and many people began to retch. Even if they covered their noses with cloth, the smell still rushed into their noses. In the end, they could not hold their breath and carried the corpses away.
“vomit!”
A gang member came to a corpse and started vomiting.
The body was half burned. The main body was not burnt, but half of the face had melted and the facial features had merged together. Seeing this, the gang member could no longer hold back and vomited.
“Brother, brother.”
At this time, several gangsters came over and patted him on the shoulder.
“Let’s help you.”
The gang member showed gratitude.
“Good brother, thank you.”
These gangsters laughed when they heard this, and their smiles were a little sinister.
“It’s okay, let’s lend a hand.”
This member of the Baijiao Gang and these people carried the corpse on the ground away and never returned.
“After daybreak, I will go around to the back mountain of Beifeng to explore the way. You can continue to attack Qianchi Chuang early tomorrow morning. Let the enemy think that we have no way to stop us. Then we can sneak into Chencang to attack him.”
Ji Wu Shi showed a smile on his face and said, “But the attack doesn’t need to be too fierce. The purpose is to distract their attention. We just need to let them know that we have been at the foot of the mountain and have not made any other moves.”
