C24 Night war in the back mountains

In the middle of the night, Yuan Tianxing's body moved like lightning as he followed the route the waiter had given him during the day and rushed towards wolftooth ridge's Yama King's Hall.

Actually, the Xing Long Wine house was only five to six miles away from the wolftooth ridge's front mountain, but since Yuan Tianxing had to rush to the secret mountain road at the back of the mountain, he had to make a huge detour. It would take him around twenty miles to reach the entrance of the secret mountain passage at the back of the wolftooth ridge.

Yuan Tianxing was really fast, reaching the small mountain path in an hour, then seeing that Yuan Tianxing had stopped moving, it could be seen on his face that he would not be able to catch a breath and appear. Yuan Tianxing sized up the rear mountain and couldn't help but frown.

The night wind rustled, and adding the dark sky, it was impossible to see one's own fingers in front of him. After carefully looking at the so-called 'secret road' in front of him, Yuan Tianxing became even more dumbstruck, and thought: No wonder the waiter said that this mountain road was not guarded, it's too difficult to walk on.

The mountain road in front of him was about a foot wide, with steep slopes on both sides. He couldn't see the end of it. If he were to land on the ground with a single stomp, his body would definitely be smashed to smithereens. After all, he had lived in the Lingyun Peak since a young age, the mountain paths there were not that easy. Furthermore, he had the martial arts on him now, so he was not afraid anymore.

Yuan Tianxing only hesitated for a moment before stepping onto this narrow road. However, he was still extra careful, as he would definitely regret it even if he failed! In less than an hour, the narrow road gradually grew wider. Yuan Tianxing carefully observed his surroundings and saw that there were no movements, but he still did not let down his guard. Yuan Tianxing lowered his head, picked up a small stone, and threw it into the distance.

After all, it was dark so Yuan Tianxing could only choose a random path to continue forward. Not long after, he arrived at a bamboo forest, and relying on the faint starlight, he could faintly see that there was a large courtyard in the empty space in front of him. Without even thinking about it, Yuan Tianxing quietly arrived at the corner of the manor.

Yuan Tianxing looked around, and seeing that there was no one guarding the courtyard, he thought in his heart. Maybe the owner of the courtyard had already rested, since it was too late, but whose courtyard was it, why did they build such a house in the depths of the quiet bamboo forest? And what connection did the master of this place have with the people of the wolftooth ridge? thought for a while. If he wanted to know more about his beloved's affairs, just listening to the words behind the scenes, why not go to the courtyard and find out what was going on?

Seeing how tall the academy was, but this did not trouble Yuan Tianxing, he made up his mind and climbed up the wall to survey the courtyard. He saw that the courtyard was indeed not small, there were a few fake mountains with many types of flowers and plants, and seeing that the owner knew how to enjoy himself, Yuan Tianxing lightly jumped off the wall and walked towards the rear of a fake mountain. Just as he was about to walk towards the main hall, he heard a conversation coming from afar, Yuan Tianxing could only use the fake mountain to hide himself. A young man's voice was heard:

"Teacher, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping?" Is there something bothering you? This disciple is willing to help you solve it. "

A year later, a vigorous voice rang out.

"Hai Jian, my master has always valued friendship and friendship the most. Since others have helped me, I will definitely repay them. However, I have let down a person who saved my life. Every time I think of it, I am truly restless! "

"Teacher, who is that person?" disciple will answer in your place. "

The old man seemed to not have heard these words. He looked at his disciple carefully as if he was sizing him up, and then uttered a strange sentence.

"Ah, if that child had grown up to be as old as you! Alright, let's cut to the chase. Let me check on your martial arts skills. If you can't satisfy me this time, you should prepare yourself for the special training. "

The old man used the tone of a strict teacher. The young man slightly grinned, thinking to himself: "If you were giving me special training, wouldn't you lose two layers of skin?!"

"Teacher, don't worry. I won't let you down. Just watch me."

After the young man finished speaking, he walked past the gate and suddenly increased his speed. Yuan Tianxing could see clearly that this young man called Hai Jian was practicing a set of fists that resembled Eagle Claw Art, he turned and in the blink of an eye, he had learnt more than 60 moves, and Yuan Tianxing was unwittingly stunned. When the young man finished speaking, Yuan Tianxing actually wanted to clap and cheer, but he suddenly became alert, and realized his own situation and endured.

Yuan Tianxing was secretly glad that he had been so careless. If he clapped, his position would definitely be exposed. Just as Yuan Tianxing was thinking, the old man said:

"Friend, you're already here, yet you're still hiding? Aren't you being a little unreasonable? Show yourself. "

Yuan Tianxing's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the fake mountain and seeing that the old man's face was facing in his direction, he knew that there was no longer a need to hide anymore. Yuan Tianxing walked out of the fake mountain and walked towards the old man and the young man. When they got close, Yuan Tianxing finally saw the two of them clearly.

The old man was around seventy years old, with white hair at the temples. His eyebrows were slanted into his temples, and his small eyes shone with a cold light, his oval face, flat nose, and mouth were actually filled with teeth. He was wearing grey clothes and tight-fitting clothes, with a belt at his waist, and a pair of black cloth shoes.

Different from the old man, the young man called Hai Jian was glaring at Yuan Tianxing, he had a head of short hair that was no more than three inches long, straight up, two faint arched eyebrows, a pair of bright leopard eyes, a flat nose, a small mouth, and on the right side of his face, there was a faint scar made from a blade, but he did not obstruct Yuan Tianxing's appearance. Instead, he was dressed in grey clothes, quick boots, belt around his waist, and he was clenching his fists tightly, as though he was ready to attack at any time.

Yuan Tianxing was a man with great talent and courage, but in this situation, he was no longer as nervous as he was before, and cupped his fists as he bowed to the old man and said:

"Old man, I was a person who passed by and unintentionally passed by here. I heard the sound of fists and legs being practiced in the courtyard, so I curiously came in to take a look. Please forgive me for offending you."

The old man laughed and thought to himself: "No matter what, this young man is not bad at all. He is very polite."

"Oh? Young man, I'm afraid you have other plans for coming to wolftooth ridge late at night? "

Without waiting for Yuan Tianxing's reply, the young man interrupted:

"Teacher, what are you talking to him for?" I saw that he was sent by Lin Yuhao to monitor you, and I had already disliked him a long time ago.

"Hai Jian, don't be so presumptuous. You can't make wild assumptions when you don't know the truth of the matter."

"Disciple understands his wrongs."

The old man then said to Yuan Tianxing:

"Young man, why did you come here?" Young man, why did you come here?

"Old man, I am indeed here for a reason in the wolftooth ridge. I have come to save someone, please forgive me for saying so much."

"If that's the case, then I can only take you down, so that no one in the village would dare cause trouble in front of the Lord Lin."

Hearing that his teacher wanted to make a move, Wu Haijian could not take it lying down. He turned to the old man and said: "Teacher, hold on. I'll just take care of him. If you extended your hand to him, your price would fall. "

"Alright, go and take him down. Remember not to underestimate the enemy and not kill the innocent."

"Disciple obeys, just watch and see." He turned around and shouted at Yuan Tianxing: "Kid, register and fight again. My name is Wu Haijian. "

"I'm a nobody. It's fine if I don't sign up."

"A person that hides his head and shows his tail. It seems that you do not look like a good person. Receive my attack."

With that, he stepped forward and grabbed towards Yuan Tianxing, aiming straight for Yuan Tianxing's head, Yuan Tianxing anxiously shifted to the side, Wu Haijian's move missed, but he instantly raised his right leg and kicked at Yuan Tianxing's abdomen, Yuan Tianxing's figure turned, easily dodging the second attack, at this time, Wu Haijian was anxious, he stabilized his body and asked:

"Say, brat, do you only know how to dodge? If you don't retaliate, don't blame me for being impolite."

Yuan Tianxing said:

"I have no intention of fighting with you. Since you've come to pressure me, then I'll offend you."

Before his voice had even faded, Yuan Tianxing used the Tough Palm to strike at Wu Haijian, Wu Haijian shouted 'good' and met it head on, the two of them immediately clashing into each other, and only then did Wu Haijian realise that his palm technique was sharp and ferocious, his moves were strange, if he was not careful, he would be defeated, following that, Wu Haijian also used his own skill: Blue Dragon Flying Claw.

Yuan Tianxing thought to himself: Forget it, this brat is really troublesome, it's just me, otherwise, I would have long been injured by that claw technique.

Among the three of them, the one who was the most surprised was the old man who was spectating by the side. The old man looked at Yuan Tianxing's moves and kept on feeling that they were extremely familiar, but upon closer inspection, he could tell that they were very different, so he did not understand them. After the two had fought for forty rounds, the old man had already discovered some clues. He knew that his disciple was no match for the young man in front of him, so he immediately tried to stop them.

"Hai Jian, stop. Come down and rest for a while." After which, the two of them jumped out of the circle.

"Teacher, we have yet to determine the victor, why did you ask me to stop?"

It was obvious that the exchange with Yuan Tianxing just now was not easy. On the other hand, Yuan Tianxing's face was slightly flushed, and he didn't even take a deep breath.

"You're still not admitting it? I dare to say that in five more moves, you will lose."

"Teacher, you …"

Wu Haijian still wanted to say something, but the elder's glare stopped him from speaking further. The old man turned to Yuan Tianxing and said:

"Little Hero, where is your master?"

Yuan Tianxing thought, why are you asking this? If you want to hit me then just do it, so you didn't tell me the truth.

"I understand without a teacher, so you don't have to ask. Since you want to take me down, then do it. "

"You can't say that. At the start, I saw that your palm technique was very familiar, but later on, it was different. That's why I asked who your master was."

"Old man, my master said not to mention his name when I venture into the martial arts world. Please forgive me. "

"If that's the case, then this old man will have to experience your powerful moves."

"Elder, please."

With that, Yuan Tianxing showed him the door. The old man smiled and said to Yuan Tianxing: "Make your move."
