Chapter 55 Encounter in White Hair Town
Has the Jade-Faced Yama escaped?
not at all!
The martial arts community, who had initially thought Shi Zhongyu had escaped, suddenly discovered that Shi Zhongyu had not only not fled, but was instead riding his horse towards the location of the four major powers.
As a result, news spread throughout the Western Regions that Jade-Faced Yama had not fled but had instead taken the initiative to confront the experts from the four major forces.
Some daring martial artists followed Shi Zhongyu, eager to find out if he was truly going to challenge the masters of the four major forces.
Besides the martial arts practitioners who followed Shi Zhongyu, a large number of them followed the four major powers.
Ye Jinghong and the others did not drive them away; on the contrary, they were happy to do so.
They want to destroy the Jade-Faced Yama, who dominates the Western Regions, and let their four major forces intimidate the entire Western Regions martial arts world.
Two groups of martial arts practitioners followed Shi Zhongyu, while the other group followed the four major powers.
Moreover, they kept in touch with each other.
Here, Shi Zhongyu, who had been traveling for half a day, was resting at a teahouse.
The tables near him were filled with onlookers from the martial arts world.
Shi Zhongyu ignored these people and continued drinking his tea.
At a table not far from Shi Zhongyu sat two burly men dressed as foreigners.
The two men were not drinking tea in the teahouse, but rather drinking alcohol.
While the two were drinking, their eyes not only swept over Shi Zhongyu, but also glanced at their fellow drinkers at the other tables.
One of them chuckled and said, "Interesting. It seems that not only people from our Vajra Sect have come, but also people from the Kunlun Sect and the Blood Blade Sect."
"Just who is this Jade-Faced Yama? He's caused such a stir in the martial world!"
"It's been a long time since the martial arts world of our Western Regions has been this lively!"
The man sighed, took a big bite of the duck leg in his hand, and ate it with his mouth full of oil.
His junior brother nodded in agreement, and when his gaze swept over Shi Zhongyu, he whispered, "Senior brother, I heard that all the experts from the four major forces have come."
"Putting aside everything else, Ye Jinghong of the Ye Dao Alliance alone, with just his swordsmanship, is almost invincible in the Western Regions."
"He personally led the group here. It's said that his deputy sect leader, two elders, and dozens of core disciples all came."
His voice seemed to be lowered, but everyone present could hear it.
The others nodded in agreement.
Having mingled in the martial arts world of the Western Regions, they naturally knew how exquisite Ye Jinghong's swordsmanship was.
A martial arts practitioner noticed that the Blood Sabre Sect members were also present and remarked, "If we're only judging by swordsmanship, perhaps only the Blood Sabre Sect's leader could rival Ye Jinghong!"
The Blood Blade Sect disciples' faces darkened.
One of them snorted angrily.
"Does Ye Jinghong even deserve it?"
"My Blood Saber Ancestor's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the Western Regions!"
The person who said those words shrank back and dared not say any more when he saw the Blood Blade Sect disciple get angry.
The Blood Blade Sect and the Blood Shadow Sect differ by only one character, and in their eyes, neither sect is any good.
Some people were secretly watching Shi Zhongyu, hoping that this Jade-Faced Yama would also destroy the Blood Blade Sect.
As they talked, the topic shifted to the experts from the four major powers.
"Ye Jinghong's strength should easily place him in the top twenty in the Western Regions, right?"
"Besides Ye Jinghong, there's also Guan Tang, the leader of the Evil Fiend Hall. His swordsmanship is no less than Ye Jinghong's. If Ye Jinghong's sword is fast, then his sword is heavy!"
"One strike from him could split mountains and shatter rocks; very few could withstand such a direct, head-on blow!"
"His strength would place him in the top twenty in the martial arts world of the Western Regions. I just wonder whose blade is stronger, his or Ye Jinghong's!"
"I don't know how skilled those two are with their blades, but the Seven Fiends Ridge Master, Li Yunfei, is said to possess unparalleled mastery of poisons. In terms of strength, he surpasses the other two!"
"Where did you put the old ghost from Black Mountain Ghost Cave? That guy's hands are covered in poison, and it's said that Black Mountain Ghost Cave used to be an annex of Lingjiu Palace!"
"That old ghost was once a ruthless figure who single-handedly wiped out an entire sect. It seems he went into seclusion to practice his skills until this time!"
A group of people were discussing the matter, each with their own reasons.
Besides discussing these matters, there were also people responsible for relaying messages.
"The Ye Dao Alliance's forces are only four hundred miles away from here."
Half a day later.
"The two sides are now less than 300 li apart!!"
Shi Zhongyu did not travel very fast.
He was constantly adjusting his state of mind along the way.
He appears calm and disdainful of everyone, but the moment he picks up his sword, he takes no opponent lightly.
Another day passed, and the two sides were only two hundred miles apart.
When the two sides were only fifty li apart, more and more martial arts practitioners gathered to watch.
The onlookers in the martial arts world inexplicably felt their blood boiling.
"At the current speed, the two sides will most likely meet in White Hair Town!"
"This Jade-Faced Yama is a ruthless man, fearless even when alone!"
"Judging from the methods he used to annihilate the Blood Shadow Sect and the Blissful Evil Sect, he's not afraid of numbers at all!"
"But these four major forces have nearly twenty top-tier experts combined!"
"I really can't think of anyone other than the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect who could handle it."
In White Hair Town, onlookers from the martial arts world, who had anticipated the two sides meeting here, had long been waiting.
People from the Kunlun Sect, the Vajra Sect, the Western Region Shaolin, and the Blood Saber Sect have all come, and even members of the Ming Cult are present.
Besides coming to witness this once-in-a-century spectacle in the Western Regions, these people also wanted to know who would emerge victorious this time.
If that Jade-Faced Yama flees at the mere sight of them, they will not be optimistic.
But this young and fearless Yama, despite his young age, took the initiative to greet him, clearly indicating that he had something to rely on.
Meanwhile, Feng Wanli, Hua Wanzi, and others heard the news on their way.
They were also hurrying towards Baimao Town.
"That brat, how dare he!"
Feng Wanli's face turned ashen.
"Knowing there were so many people around, he still dared to go up on his own. So what if his martial arts have improved rapidly? Those seasoned veterans aren't so simple to deal with!"
Bai Wanjian and the others had solemn expressions. With the Ye Dao Alliance and others joining forces, they dared not easily start a war.
Shi Zhongyu, all alone, actually wanted to fight them all.
"This kid's getting too cocky. Hopefully, we're in time!"
Hua Wanzi's face turned ruthless as she listened to her senior brothers' words.
"If anything happens to that kid, we'll make them pay with their lives!"
Just as they were about to arrive, Shi Zhongyu rode his horse to Baimao Town.
Ye Jinghong and the others also arrived at Baimao Town.
After Shi Zhongyu arrived, he learned the location of Ye Jinghong and the others from the martial arts practitioners around him.
He urged his horse forward without stopping.
At this time, in Baimao Town, there were officials, merchants, and even ordinary people.
After learning that martial arts practitioners were going to fight here, they retreated early on.
At this moment, apart from onlookers from the martial arts world, there were no ordinary people on the streets of White Hair Town.
Shi Zhongyu rode his horse down the street, and only stopped when a group of people appeared in front of him.
