Crash.

It was raining heavily.

Jiang Ning glanced up at the heavy rain falling from the sky, then ignored it and continued watching the people not far away.

The rain poured down, and the raindrops struck the sword with a slight, crisp sound. The blade, originally dark red from being soaked in blood, gradually revealed a cold, white silver light under the wash of the rain.

"Why did it suddenly start raining?"

The May rains were unusually cold, making everyone feel as if their bodies were soaked through and extremely chilly.

For some reason, everyone felt heavy-hearted during the heavy rain, as if a shadow had fallen over them.

"Gudong."

In the silence, someone couldn't help but swallow hard; it was still the same man wielding the copper hammer.

call out!

A flash of silver light appeared, coming from the man's left.

The man was immediately alarmed and raised his copper hammer to defend himself, protecting his vitals.

when!

A crisp sound rang out in the forest, clearly audible even in the heavy rain.

"Ning Yanwang is with me, and he attacked me!"

The man wielding the copper hammer shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned around, but there was no movement.

Are you dead?

The darkness and the sound of the downpour made it difficult for everyone to see clearly, so they could only call out tentatively.

"He's not dead. He's not dead."

The expert wielding the copper hammer quickly responded.

"Ning Yanwang attacked me just now, and now I don't know where he is."

The man was trembling as he spoke.

The pressure on him from Jiang Ning's surprise attack was too great.

"If it really doesn't work, let's go outside first. It's too dark here, we can't see anything."

One person offered a suggestion, their tone tinged with a hint of complaint.

It was already dark here, and now it was raining, so everything was drowned out by the rain. This environment was perfect for Jiangning to launch a surprise attack.

“We can’t see him, and neither can King Ning. He must be at his last gasp. Don’t give up. As long as we kill him, we can report back.”

Some people disagreed with retreating and desperately wanted to kill Jiang Ning.

Wow!

Wow!

Jiang Ning hid in the bushes not far away, looked at these people, gripped the sword in his hand, then slowed his breathing to adjust his body, and slowly approached one of them.

His footsteps were so light that they were barely audible in the heavy rain.

Jiang Ning gradually approached another person, avoiding some withered branches and leaves on the ground in the process, and trying not to make any noise.

His eyesight is excellent; he can see clearly even in the pitch black of night. Although the heavy rain somewhat obscured his vision, it also provided him with a disguise.

Jiang Ning had already arrived at a short distance from one of the people, only a few steps away. The next second, he flashed forward and thrust his sword forward with lightning speed.

The person targeted by Jiang Ning suddenly noticed the commotion around him, immediately went on the defensive, and shouted at the same time.

"I've got King Yama in my hands!"

when!

Jiang Ning thrust his sword into his weapon with a clang.

When his first attack failed, Jiang Ning immediately changed his offensive, thrusting his longsword diagonally upwards and piercing the man's left shoulder with a soft thud.

Suddenly, the man felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, but he did not flinch. Instead, he fiercely slashed forward with his sword, trying to exchange blows with Jiang Ning. While holding off Jiang Ning, he also gave the others time to react.

Jiang Ning dodged, drew his sword, and stabbed it into the man's neck. However, the man reacted quickly and dodged to the left. Although he avoided the fatal blow, his right shoulder was stabbed.

The expert cried out in pain, and his weapon fell to the ground involuntarily. The next second, Jiang Ning was about to kill him, but the others' reinforcements had already arrived.

call out!

With a whooshing sound, Jiang Ning retreated, a large sword slashing across the spot where he had just stood.

when!when!when!

Several more people clashed with Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning parried the attacks one after another while retreating. The next second, he swung his sword to deflect an attack and then flashed away.

"Chase!"

The group chased after the sound coming from Jiang Ning, but stopped after a short while.

The commotion in Jiangning has subsided.

call out!

"what!"

Another scream sounded.

"there!"

The others chased after the sound, but found only a corpse on the ground.

They were too scattered during the chase, and this person was caught off guard and killed by Jiang Ning.

when!when!when!

Several more sounds of weapons clashing rang out not far away, followed by another scream, and then silence.

"No, King Ning can see it! King Ning can see it!"

By this time, everyone understood that Jiang Ning could see clearly in the pitch-black environment, and that the situation was unfavorable to them.

"Go first, go first, get out of the woods."

The group immediately spoke and turned to walk out of the woods.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning emerged from the shadows and gave chase to one of them.

Hearing the commotion behind him, the man quickly drew his sword to defend himself.

Jiang Ning's sword energy was unleashed, enveloping seven acupoints on the upper body of this person, which was none other than the Seven Stars Falling from the Sky technique of the Taishan Sect.

The sound of the sword energy was like a bell, but to this person it was the sound of death.

call out!

Jiang Ning pierced his chest with a single sword strike, killing another man.

At this point, only nine of them remained.

Chapter 330: The Rain Gradually Stops

After quickly eliminating one person, Jiang Ning set his sights on the second. He pushed off with his feet and charged towards the last person like a cannonball.

"help me!"

The man did not try to be brave; upon sensing Jiang Ning approaching, he immediately called for help.

Upon hearing his plea for help, the other eight turned around and rushed back to counter his moves, retreating as they did so.

when!when!when!

In the dense forest, the only sounds besides the torrential rain were the clanging of weapons, occasionally accompanied by screams.

The horses these people brought had already been frightened and scattered.

call out!

A figure darted out from the woods, followed by five more figures rushing out.

The six men did not leave immediately after they came out; instead, they held their weapons and looked at the forest behind them as if facing a formidable enemy.

The rain gradually stopped.

The moon reappeared from behind the clouds, and its light shone on the earth.

The six men stood in a line outside, unconsciously gripping their weapons tightly.

rustle.

rustle.

Footsteps suddenly echoed through the woods after the rain.

Upon hearing the footsteps, the six men became serious, until a figure emerged from within.

At this moment, Jiang Ning was shirtless, his hair, wet from the rain, plastered to his body.

Jiang Ning held his sword, his gaze cold and sharp as he looked at the six men, the blade gleaming with a chilling light.

Sensing that cold gaze, the six men's expressions grew even more solemn.

No one spoke; there was only silence.

next second.

Jiang Ning drew his sword and charged.

call out!

Jiang Ning launched himself into the air with a double side kick, striking two people in front of him.

The two men parried with their knives, and with two muffled thuds, they were forced to retreat.

The other four men quickly surrounded them, and one of them thrust his gun at them.

Jiang Ning leaped into the air with a light touch of his foot, and the spear pierced the spot where he had just been standing.

Jiang Ning spun in the air, unleashing streaks of sword energy that forced the others back. After landing, he charged straight at a burly man.

Seeing Jiang Ning charging towards him, the burly man focused all his attention.

call out!

Jiang Ning raised his sword and swept it upwards with a swift and fierce attack. The burly man retreated repeatedly to avoid it. Jiang Ning stepped forward and threw a punch, but the burly man only retreated and did not confront Jiang Ning head-on.

At that moment, the others also charged towards this side.

Jiang Ning ignored everything and attacked the man with all his might.

call out!

Jiang Ning charged forward and swept his sword horizontally again, unleashing his inner force. The burly man, who had already retreated to a tree with nowhere to go, immediately crouched down.

boom!

Jiang Ning slashed with his sword, stood on the tree, and the tree snapped in half and fell to the side.

"This……"

The burly man squatting there had his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

Is this something a human could cut out?

After delivering that sword strike, Jiang Ning didn't pause at all, turning around and kicking left.

A strong wind swept across his face. The burly man was already pale with fright from Jiang Ning's sword strike. The sweeping kick had a wide range, leaving him no way to dodge and forcing him to block it head-on.

The burly man parried with his hand, and with a muffled thud, Jiang Ning delivered a sweeping kick to his arm. The burly man's face trembled, revealing a trace of pain.

But that wasn't all. Jiang Ning delivered another solid kick, landing squarely on his arm, accompanied by a cracking sound of bone breaking.
