Chapter 195: A Fierce Battle(1)
“Cang Qiong wants to exterminate all of us, and present our corpses or heads to the Emperor of Nan Jiang to claim his credit .......”
“He wish. I’ll make sure that he dies before I do!” With hands on her hips,Yuan Fangfei screamed and glared at the wooden snakes above with hatred.
Mu Liufeng glanced at her scornfully and argued, “Cang Qiong is standing on the back of a wooden snake, suspending in the height of hundred meters above the ground. No matter how superb your Qing Kung is, you still won’t be able to reach him and conversely, you will be blasted into ashes if he throws down a package of gunpowder. For him, killing you is a piece of cake. In this case, mutual deconstruction is definitely not an option.”
Yuan Fangfei disagreed and talked back, “There must be a solution! Come on, think of a way to defeat this pervert!”
Mu Liufeng frowned, “I am already using my wits, yet no solution came up. ”
“Bang” came the explosive sound of another package of gunpowder from the outside of the stone wall. Broken stone and soil debris soon covered Yuan Fangfei’s head and cheeks.
Yuan Fangfei immediately simmered with rage. “What an annoying pervert! When is he going to stop! I’m going out to confront him, face to face!” shouted Yuan Fangfei. She turned around, and was about to rush out of the stone wall.
Murong Xue hurriedly pulled her back and tried to persuade her, “Those people from Nan Jiang are bombarding here with gunpowder. Death is the only option if you rush out now.”
“What else can we do? Just standing here, waiting for our death?” Yuan Fangfei talked back, with flaming fury burning in her eyes. The gunpowder in the wooden snakes seemed inexhaustible, and was thrown down ceaselessly.
Seeing nobody in the square, the ghosts changed their targets to so-called covert corners. Thus, sooner or later, gunpowder would reach this place, and all of them would be killed.
“Absolutely not!” Murong Xue shook her head, and mysteriously lowered her voice, saying, “Is there a way for you to take down some wooden snakes, and bring them back to me?”
“What do you want the wooden snakes for?” Ouyang Shaochen looked at her with confusion. “The wooden snakes are made by the people of Nan Jiang, with many hidden mechanisms. Amateurs can’t manipulate it even if they got one.”
“I certainly have my own purpose.” Murong Xue smiled mysteriously.
Looking up the wooden snakes, Yuan Fangfei carefully estimated for a moment, and slightly shook her head, explaining, “Those wooden snakes are too far for me to grasp. ”
”
Mu Liufeng also cast a glance at the wooden snakes suspending in the sky, and frowned slightly, saying, “Those wooden snakes fly so high, and are far away from us. It’s indeed not easy for us to grasp them. I am not very sure about this, either.”
Noticing their unsureness, Ouyang Shaochen imperceptibly frowned. He glanced at the wooden snakes, and looked back at Murong Xue. “How many do you need?”
Hearing Ouyang’s words, Murong Xue’s face lit up. She hurriedly replied, “Five, six, seven or eight will do. But it would be better if the wooden snake is intact. Yet it doesn’t matter if the wooden snake is destroyed a little bit, but not too much.”
Being broken before, the wooden snakes on the ground, bombed by gunpowder, were completely disintegrated into pieces of woods, and of no use at all. So the other wooden snakes were needed.
“Consider it done!” Ouyang Shaochen nodded. Suddenly, he tapped the ground with his toe, and directly leapt up to the sky, with his snow-white garment rustling in the wind.
In the air, Ouyang Shaochen stood proudly among the dense wooden-snake forest. His unflappable and handsome countenance, and elegant figure were deeply imprinted on everyone’s mind. All people looked at him blankly, and couldn’t settle back into concentration for quite some time.
It turned out that Lord Freedom’s heir had such unfathomable Qing Kung skills.
Proudly standing in the air, Ouyang Shaochen violently waved his jade-like fingers. His powerful internal force, like the flying arrows, was shot to a black-garbed ghost nearby, killing it in an instant.
Without its driver, the shaky wooden snake fell down at once.
Murong Xue was excited, and was about to run forward to catch that wooden snake.
Yuan Fangfei stretched out her hands and pulled her back. Instead, Yuan Fangfei herself, rushed to the wooden snakes directly like an arrow. Murong could hear her ostentatious voice in the wind, “You are not strong enough to carry its burden. Just save yourself the embarassment. ”
As soon as Yuan’s voice faded away, she stretched out her hands and caught the wooden snakes. Yet she didn’t expect that the tail would be so heavy that she failed to hold it steadily. ‘Bang’, a sound came while the snake fell down to the ground. Instantly, the snake fell into pieces of long wooden blocks.
Looking at the broken tail of the wooden snake, Yuan Fangfei laughed embarrassedly, explaining, “I didn’t expect that the wooden snake would be so heavy. It’s my fault, my fault ...... Ha ha ......”
“It doesn’t matter. As long as trigger at the front is not damaged! ” Murong Xue comforted her, with a gentle smile on her face. She stepped forward immediately to catch the wooden snake, and vigorously pull it to the stone wall.
“Let me do it!” Mu Liufeng stepped forward, and picked up the wooden snake. “I am a man, how can I allow a girl to do such hard work while I just stand here idly! ”
Standing in the air, Cang Qiong were maliciously glancing at Ouyang Shaochen and Yuan Fangfei before Mu Liufeng, Murong Xue and the wooden snakes near them drew his attention. “What are they doing? No matter what they are going to do, I will not let their tricks succeed!”
“Kill Murong Xue and her fellows!” The ruthless order resounded through the sky.
“Yes, sir!” Answered the black-garbed ghosts reverently. They picked up packages of gunpowder, and ruthlessly threw them at Murong Xue and Yuan Fangfei!
Realizing the serious situation, Ouyang Shaochen began moving his jade-liked fingers swiftly. Then, powerful internal forces were shot at the black-garbed ghosts from all directions, killing them in an instant.
Without owners, the wooden snakes began falling down to the ground one after another.
Standing below, Yuan Fangfei flew back and forth to dodge gunpowder, and catch the falling wooden snakes.
Mu Liufeng also shuttled back and forth inside and outside of the stone wall. He brought all of the wooden snakes that Yuan Fangfei caught back.
“Bang, bang, bang!” Explosive sounds of gunpowder came ceaselessly from the outside. Broken stones and soil debris scattered everywhere.
Squatting within the stone wall, Murong Xue picked up those wood blocks, and assembled them quickly. She assembled so dexterously that she seemed to have done it for hundreds of times, which shocked Mu Liufeng to a great extent.
Murong Xue glanced at him, and said hurriedly, “Stop standing there. Come help me dismantle all damaged parts of the wooden snakes.” Murong could directly assemble the undamaged parts well, which would save their time and effort!
“I must finish assembling the wooden snakes as soon as possible since Cang Qiong had given shoot-to-kill orders. The faster I assemble these, the less likely we will be in danger.”
“What ...... what are you going to do ......” Mu Liufeng stared at her, and let out his confusion.
“Use it against Cang Qiong!” Murong Xue answered, stressing each syllable, with light flashing in her pupils.
“Against Cang Qiong?” Mu Liufeng was dubious of Murong Xue’s words. “Use a pile of damaged wooden snakes against Cang Qiong, who was the inventor, and has countless wooden snakes? ”
“That’s right!” Murong Xue took a heavy nod, and smiled strangely, saying, “Quickly, help me dismantle these wooden snakes. Soon you will see how I beat Cang Qiong at his own game. ”
