Chapter 1625 - 1625: The Wolf Monk Appears Unexpectedly
After Luan Ping finished speaking, he suddenly pursed his lips and, as if whistling, emitted a series of sharp sounds. Though the sound was not loud, it carried far into the night, thanks to Luan Ping's deep Inner Strength."Not good!" In the air, Huangfu Ziyu's expression changed as she anxiously said, "He's calling that Peak Master; Ye Qing, be careful!"
When Ye Qing first arrived, he had already observed the situation here. Luan Ping had been watching from a distance. At that time, Yin Xianzi was entangled with Ding Lianshun, while another Peak Master was keeping Huangfu Ziyu occupied, allowing Luan Ping to remain idle.
After Ye Qing disrupted the battlefield with a gasoline bomb, that Peak Master had not reappeared. Ye Qing had initially hoped that perhaps that Peak Master had been caught in the Sea of Fire and burned to death. However, upon hearing Huangfu Ziyu's warning, he suddenly realized that the situation was becoming increasingly troublesome.
Originally, Luan Ping and Yin Xianzi were already enough to trap them here, with no way out. Now, if Luan Ping called in a third Peak Master, the situation would become even more dangerous. Given the current conditions, the arrival of that Peak Master meant the three of them wouldn't be able to hold out. Could it be that they were really going to die here this time?
As the whistle from Luan Ping echoed, a person indeed came running from afar. The newcomer was incredibly fast, a speed that only a Peak Master could achieve. Even a Top-Level Master, specializing in Qinggong, wouldn't reach such velocity.
Seeing this person approaching, Luan Ping immediately sneered and shouted, "Ye Qing, it's said your luck is unparalleled. Today, I want to see how lucky you can be. Today, I will kill you!"
As Luan Ping roared, the person rushed over. But when they arrived in front of the crowd, everyone suddenly realized the newcomer wasn't the earlier Peak Master but a monk dressed in robes.
Seeing the monk, Luan Ping was taken aback and glared, "Who are you?"
"The one who will kill you!" the monk shouted, and without waiting for Luan Ping's reply, he lunged at him fiercely. Like a lion pouncing on a rabbit, before the monk even reached him, a powerful gust of wind forced Luan Ping's face to change color; the newcomer's strength was quite remarkable.
Facing such a powerful figure, Luan Ping dared not be careless and quickly dodged the monk's attack. But by then, the monk was already upon him, continuously attacking with fists and kicks, leaving Luan Ping no time to focus on anything else, completely entangled by the monk.
While Luan Ping was entangled with the monk, Huangfu Ziyu freed her hands. For the moment, she didn't care who this monk was, bent her bow, and shot arrows. Three consecutive air arrows were shot down, directly injuring three Top-Level Fighters surrounding Ye Qing.
The sudden attack threw these Top-Level Fighters into chaos. They originally surrounded Ye Qing, but now they couldn't even guarantee their own lives and no longer dared to continue attacking Ye Qing, quickly turning to evade and retreat.
Catching this opportunity, Ye Qing swung the scabbard in his hand, cutting down a few more people. In a short time, of the more than twenty attacking him, five were killed by Huangfu Ziyu, and Ye Qing himself killed three; the rest all fled, not daring to come closer again.
On this side, with Luan Ping entangled by the monk, he couldn't stop Huangfu Ziyu and Ye Qing. Seeing everyone here had fled, he was also frightened, continually whistling, but that Peak Master never appeared, making him even more anxious.
"There's no need to shout!" the monk said coldly, "That old undying one has already been killed by me; you can't call in reinforcements!"
"Impossible!" Luan Ping's eyes widened as he spoke in a deep voice, "His strength is not below yours; there's no way you could have killed him!"
"Humph, if you don't believe, you can keep wasting your breath!" the monk shouted, but his hands didn't slack in the slightest, with fists and feet flying, forcing Luan Ping to steadily retreat.
After driving away those around Ye Qing, Huangfu Ziyu also turned around, taking aim at Luan Ping from the air, ready to support the monk at any time.
Seeing the situation, Luan Ping's heart sank further. He realized there was no hope left for his side. Even combined, the Top-Level Fighters couldn't match Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu. And his side's Peak Master hadn't shown up, leaving him unsure of the result; could it be that he was really killed by this monk? If that Peak Master couldn't return, he dared not linger here. Being surrounded by these people would surely mean death!
Thinking of this, Luan Ping lost all will to continue the fight. Battling with the monk for a while longer, his focus remained elsewhere, looking for a favorable terrain for escape.
Huangfu Ziyu clenched the Sun Shooting Bow, observing Luan Ping from afar to prevent his escape. Suddenly, Luan Ping feinted, retreated the monk, and turned to flee.
"Where do you think you're going!" Huangfu Ziyu shouted, releasing three air arrows simultaneously, blocking Luan Ping's escape route.
However, just as she made her move, Luan Ping suddenly changed direction, unexpectedly leaping over the monk's head and rushing off in a different direction.
This time, even the monk did not react in time. He also thought Luan Ping was planning to escape in the previous direction, but he hadn't expected that Luan Ping's real escape route was the opposite one. At this moment, even the monk was too late to stop him. Luan Ping leapt over his head, immediately accelerated his pace, and with a few jumps, had already run into the distant forest. Although Huangfu Ziyu continued to shoot air arrows to obstruct him, Luan Ping either dodged or deflected them, making it impossible to stop him in the slightest.
Hovering in the air, Huangfu Ziyu saw the situation and immediately pursued, continuously shooting air arrows at the trees in an attempt to block Luan Ping.
"Don't chase!" The monk suddenly shouted, saying loudly, "Do not pursue a desperate foe!"
Huangfu Ziyu hesitated slightly, turned her head to look at the monk, and said in a deep voice, "Now is the best chance to kill him. If he escapes and reunites with Corpse Ghost Dragon, it'll be impossible to kill him again!"
The monk did not speak, merely shook his head at Huangfu Ziyu. Seeing his demeanor, Ye Qing knew the monk had something he couldn't express, so he waved to Huangfu Ziyu and said, "First deal with Yin Xianzi, don't pursue further!"
Seeing Ye Qing say this, Huangfu Ziyu stopped pursuing, slowly descending from the air. She tightly furrowed her brow as she watched Yin Xianzi who was still fiercely fighting with Ding Lianshun. She looked at the monk and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"
The monk did not answer Huangfu Ziyu, directly approached the fighting group, and said in a deep voice, "Ding Lianshun, you restrain her while I seal her acupoints first!"
"Okay!" Ding Lianshun responded, his voice noticeably weary. After all, he had been fighting a Peak Master for so long, and with Yin Xianzi attacking with full force, he had to exert himself fully in return. The exhaustion was significant.
Of course, Yin Xianzi's condition wasn't much better; both of their physical strength was nearly depleted now. However, Yin Xianzi seemed completely unfazed, showing no signs outwardly.
Ding Lianshun, just like last time, engaged Yin Xianzi upfront. In doing so, Yin Xianzi's back was entirely exposed, vulnerable to the monk.
The monk charged from behind, just as Ye Qing had done earlier, striking several of Yin Xianzi's acupoints. However, the effect was entirely different from Ye Qing's attempt. When Ye Qing hit her acupoints, he was thrust back, his fingertips fractured, and Yin Xianzi remained unaffected. Yet when the monk struck those acupoints, Yin Xianzi's body suddenly weakened, falling directly to the ground, rendered powerless due to the sealed acupoints.
Ding Lianshun hurried over to support Yin Xianzi. Only then did he have time to look up at the monk, slightly surprised, he asked, "You... are the Wolf Monk?"
"Hahaha..." The monk laughed aloud, his face full of emotion, saying, "After so many years, I didn't expect anyone to still remember my name!"
This monk was none other than the Wolf Monk whom Ye Qing had released from Wan Yan Manor. At that time, Ye Qing had freed two people, one was Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi, and the other was the Wolf Monk.
Later, the Wolf Monk returned to Xiaolin Temple to investigate the cause of its destruction but found nothing. He decided to go to Shenchuan City to find Ye Qing and repay him for saving his life. However, Ye Qing had been busy everywhere during this period, his whereabouts uncertain. The Wolf Monk searched extensively and was fortunate enough to finally catch up with Ye Qing at Shen Family Manor. Otherwise, Ye Qing and the others would definitely have suffered greatly tonight.
"Wolf Monk!?" Ye Qing looked at the monk in shock; he had heard about this incident, so he naturally knew this was the monk he'd rescued before. He had not expected to see this monk under such circumstances.
Nevertheless, knowing his identity, Ye Qing felt much more at ease. Regardless, the Wolf Monk was certainly here to help him. And with Wolf Monk's strength, Ye Qing would be much safer with his assistance.
"Are you Shijia's junior brother?" Ye Qing asked, surprised.
Wolf Monk looked at Ye Qing, slowly nodding, and said, "Have you met my senior brother?"
"More than just met!" When Shijia was mentioned, Ye Qing felt anger. This rogue monk, with the same demeanor as Old Wang Ba, had tricked Ye Qing numerous times. The most notable instance was in the Capital, where he disguised himself as a woman, led Ye Qing to meet Helian Tiehua and Prince Nalan, and caused big trouble before running off, leaving Ye Qing behind.
"It's perfect then." Wolf Monk, unaware of Ye Qing's resentment towards Shijia, nodded and said, "My senior brother has set up the Sea of Suffering Great Array outside, temporarily trapping the Corpse Ghost Dragon. We must leave here quickly; otherwise, once Corpse Ghost Dragon returns, none of us will be able to leave!"
