King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 558: Chapter 189: Suspense Arc – Crisis in the Cellar Snake Cave after the Weaving Machine Killing Formation (Part 2)

Gongsun Ren clasped his fists and accepted the command, ”Rest assured, Grand Squad Leader Shi, I will do my utmost to ensure the safety of Madam and the children.”

Then, he soared away.

In Mid-Autumn at Suzhou Prefecture, threads of coolness permeated the air.

A gentle breeze brushed by, carrying a faint scent of osmanthus, yet it couldn’t dispel the chill of the night.

The moonlight was like water, spilling over the gently flowing Shantang River, shimmering as if countless tiny silver flecks were dancing on the surface.

The willows by the shore swayed softly in the wind, their slender branches like gentle ribbons, hinting subtly at a touch of desolation.

Following the clues, Shi Feiyang, Yili, Qi Meizhen, Bai Zhi, and Xie Wen tracked down to Shantang River.

On the river, a painted boat swayed gently under the night sky, like a drifting leaf, exuding an aura of mystery as if concealing countless unknown secrets.

The hull was outlined in the moonlight, its windows casting a faint light that seemed more eerie in the stillness of the night.

Shi Feiyang’s sharp gaze, honed by his extensive Jianghu experience and keen intuition, deduced that the assassin was likely on this painted boat.

His posture was upright, like a standing pine, exuding an aura that instilled confidence.

Leading the group, he silently boarded the painted boat, his steps light yet stable, like a stalking panther.

Each step was cautious, yet brimming with confidence and decisiveness, always alert to the surrounding movements, not missing a single anomaly.

As soon as they entered the cabin, they came face-to-face with a masked man.

The masked man was agile, muscles taut, like a panther ready to strike a deadly blow at any moment.

With exceptional martial skills, his attack was swift and fierce from the outset.

His hands moved quickly, the moves vicious, accompanied by whistling winds, like two sharp blades charging toward the group.

The masked man performed the ”Shadow Clone Technique” of the Japanese pirates, and in an instant, it seemed as though multiple figures emerged inside the cabin, their forms elusive like phantoms, making it hard to distinguish between real and fake.

Yet, Shi Feiyang remained composed, his eyes as calm and deep as a cold pond, tightly gripping the Celestial Frost Blade, he took a deep breath and executed the ”Light Splitting Shadow Saber” from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique.

The saber light flickered like dazzling stars, weaving a tight web of blades in the air, effectively countering the masked man’s moves.

Each saber light carried immense momentum, seemingly slicing through the air, blocking the masked man’s attacks one by one.

His saber technique was forceful yet subtle, every strike precisely executed.

Amidst the fierce confrontation, Shi Feiyang and others discovered a secret compartment in the cabin.

With keen senses and swift hands, Shi Feiyang quickly opened the compartment and found half of a Siam Elephant Soldier map inside. The map was yellowed and old, exuding an ancient aura, bearing the marks of time.

This half map made the case even more baffling. What intricate connections existed between the Siam Elephant Soldiers and the previous Siam Rice Fragmentations and Japanese Ninja?

Shi Feiyang furrowed his brows, worry deepening in his gaze.

He understood that the conspiracy behind it might endanger countless civilians.

A strong sense of mission surged in him, a resolve formed silently, no matter the cost, to uncover the truth and protect the people from the scourge of war.

Gripping the half map firmly, Shi Feiyang’s gaze was firm as iron, speaking gravely, ”It seems this conspiracy involves multinational forces, we must unravel the mystery quickly and thwart their scheme. Regardless of the hardships ahead, we shall never retreat.”

Everyone nodded, their eyes revealing resolute determination.

At this moment, Yili, Qi Meizhen, and Bai Zhi, the three madams of Shi, stood behind Shi Feiyang, their hearts beating with his, eyes full of trust and support for their husband. Yili, dressed in a light purple gown, was graceful like a blooming violet.

Her face was as fair as jade, her eyes bright like twinkling stars, lively and bright, exuding wisdom and charm.

At this moment, her gaze followed Shi Feiyang closely, filled with concern and deep affection; nothing in the world could shake her love for her husband.

Qi Meizhen, the daughter of a military family, exuded valiant charisma in her fitted attire.

Her tall and slender figure, with exquisite curves, was like an unsheathed sword, radiating compelling heroism.

Her eyes were bright and sharp, like cold stars shimmering in the night sky, revealing courage and steadfastness.

At this moment, she gripped the Long Sword tightly, eyes disclosing her resolve to fight alongside Shi Feiyang.

Bai Zhi, in her white gauze dress, was like a pure white pear blossom, fresh and unworldly.

Her features were delicate, skin fairer than snow, eyes clear as spring water, pure and lively, exuding gentleness and kindness.

Despite a trace of worry in her gaze, there was more unwavering support for Shi Feiyang.

She knew well that as long as she was with her husband, she feared nothing.

As the investigation continued deeper, the truth of the case seemed to gradually surface, but greater dangers were also quietly approaching.

Will Shi Feiyang and the others be able to unravel the truth in this complex situation and prevent the conspiracy of the forces behind it?

A thrilling Jianghu storm was slowly unfolding in the night of Gusu City...

Looking at the yellowed half map of Siam Elephant Soldiers in his hand, Shi Feiyang took a deep breath, breaking the heavy atmosphere in the cabin: ”Everyone, though this map is damaged, it is a crucial clue. Let’s return to Shi Mansion first, gather our council’s advisors, and together deduce the connection between the Siam Elephant Soldiers and this case.”
