I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 465 - 287: Escort Team, Bandits (Part 3)

Just as Qin Yuesheng had anticipated this thought, a dark figure in black clothing suddenly leapt across the treetops in the forest, demonstrating exceptional Lightweight Skill, like a dragonfly skimming the water’s surface.

The person had not yet landed and already reached out a hand, releasing a burst of silver light that enveloped the mountain bandits below.

Through the Biluo Eye, Qin Yuesheng could see clearly that those silver lights were actually silver needles.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, many of the mountain bandits fell to the ground, all hit in the fatal spots by the silver needles, killed in one strike.

"What a skill," Qin Yuesheng praised, "To master the art of throwing concealed weapons like this, probably requires at least twenty years of immersion."

Being someone who possesses the Flying Knife Divine Skill, Qin Yuesheng naturally has a certain understanding of concealed weapon techniques, so he could clearly see the prowess of this expert.

"This person seems to be..." Bai Ningxuan thought to herself.

The black figure landed, revealing herself to be a woman in her early thirties, dressed in a black robe, with skin as white as snow, forming a stark contrast.

Without saying much, the woman immediately unleashed a palm attack, her Inner Strength transforming into a gust of wind that blew away all those nearby. One glance at their clothing revealed who were the protectors and who were the bandits.

Under her wave-hand technique, bandits died without resistance, the battle instantly reversed, the situation dramatically changed.

"Nanny Wan!" Seeing this woman, Gao Chu, lying on the ground, was instantly overjoyed, secretly thinking that salvation had finally arrived.

"Your escort agency is really bold, taking on all kinds of tasks. If Lin Pingchong hadn’t reacted quickly and invited me over, all of you would have been left here," the woman in the black robe said coolly.

Gao Chu smiled bitterly, "Nanny Wan, what exactly is going on here?"

"These trivial matters can be discussed later. First, let me take care of these bandits," the woman in the black robe said, and immediately commenced a one-sided slaughter.

In front of an Inner Strength master, these bandits stood no chance, falling dead at her hands.

After watching her attacks for a while, Bai Ningxuan suddenly said in a low voice, "I remember who this person is, ’Hundred Hands Merciless’ Wan Guying."

"Wan Guying?" This name was familiar to Qin Yuesheng as well.

He had once captured a Celestial Secret City spy with the code name ’Xuan’ and received a blue booklet detailing the rankings of the world’s experts from the individual.

Qin Yuesheng often looked through it when idle, and was very familiar with its contents.

’Hundred Hands Merciless’ Wan Guying, this person holds a place on the list of the world’s experts as a master of concealed weapons.

The fat bandit could never have imagined that such an Inner Strength expert would come to aid them, but given the circumstances, the defeat was not unwarranted; he could only blame his inferior skills.

When seven-tenths of the bandits had been slaughtered by Wan Guying, leaving three-tenths either injured or fleeing into the mountains, Wan Guying couldn’t be bothered to chase them.

She directly approached the fat bandit kneeling on the ground, asking, "Who sent you here?"

"No one sent us, we saw an escort team passing by and decided to ambush them as that’s what bandits do," the fat bandit replied.

The next moment, Wan Guying reached out and struck the man’s head. Five silver needles were already embedded in the fat man’s head.

The insertion of the silver needles looked casual, but the man’s face suddenly changed dramatically, clutching his head in extreme agony and screaming incessantly.

Two streams of bloody tears flowed from his eyes, presumably due to Wan Guying’s interrogation methods.

"You’d better speak honestly; I can offer you some respite from suffering, or else you’ll find neither life nor death," Wan Guying said coldly.

"Five Peaks Eight Mountains, it’s Five Peaks Eight Mountains."

"Full of lies. If Five Peaks Eight Mountains wanted this ’Crimson Cloud Scripture’, why send only an external Martial Artist like you?" Wan Guying said as she inserted several needles into the man’s neck.

As odd as it was, once the needles were inserted, the fat man seemed to be struck with acupuncture points, forced to kneel in place, unable to move.

"Xiao Sect’s Third Master, it was Xiao Sect’s Third Master, this time it’s definitely true," he confessed.

"You mean the third of the Three Tigers of Xiao Sect in Cyan Sky Town?"

"Yes, yes, that’s him. He promised a hundred taels of gold for robbing an escort team today. All I needed to do was bring back the ’Crimson Cloud Scripture’, and then 300 more taels of gold afterward."

Wan Guying frowned. Cyan Sky Town is just twenty miles north of this official road, a must-pass for Gao Chu’s escort team. Unexpectedly, the other party received the news quickly and intended to use others to grab the escorted item.

"You fool, if you deliver the ’Crimson Cloud Scripture’ to the Three Tigers of Xiao Sect, they’ll kill you for secrecy, you’ll have money but no life to spend it," Gao Chu said as he got up from the ground.

"I, I, please, heroes, I admit my mistake, please give me a chance and spare my life," he pleaded.

Wan Guying, nicknamed Hundred Hands Merciless, renowned for her profoundly enigmatic concealed weapon skills, was clearly merciless.

Not waiting for the fat bandit to finish speaking, she had already inserted a needle into his brow, taking his life.

"Let’s go, depart immediately. You’re carrying the ’Crimson Cloud Scripture’, and we can’t delay here; others might come to compete for it," Wan Guying said to Gao Chu.

Although Gao Chu wanted to ask what the ’Crimson Cloud Scripture’ was and why it provoked such contention, he also knew this place was not safe to linger, and any questions could wait until they were on the road.
