Chapter 26: Iron Corpse Mei Chao Feng

  The Six Freaks of the South did not tell Linghu Chong about this matter. Although they had been together for over a year and had dispelled their suspicions of him, they also knew that his relationship with Guo Jing was very deep. Moreover, in this matter, Guo Jing might be on the opposing side, so if Linghu Chong were to find out, he would likely choose to stand by Guo Jing's side.

  Ling Yun's martial arts skills have already been seen by the Six Freaks of Jiangnan, and he has reached the top level in this world. He is not someone that his brothers can withstand. Guo Jing originally had a mysterious person with unknown motives behind him, if Ling Yun were to join forces with them, they would truly have no chance of winning.

  However, just because they didn't tell Ling Muyun doesn't mean that Ling Muyun knew nothing. After Guo Jing returned from the Jiangnan Six Freaks during the day and was depressed, Ling Muyun found it strange and asked him what was wrong. Guo Jing immediately told him about being questioned by his six masters, and Ling Muyun realized that Ma Yu's secret teaching of internal skills to Guo Jing had been exposed. He didn't say much, but he already had a plan in mind.

  When night fell, Zhu Cong and Quan Jinfa arrived at the Mongolian tent where Guo Jing lived, hiding outside. Ling Yunqiao, who was having dinner with Guo Jing's mother and son inside the tent, suddenly sensed something. As it happened, Ling Yunqiao's internal strength had reached the top level in the world at that time, his ears were sharp and his eyes were bright, and he was extremely sensitive. Although Zhu Cong and Quan Jinfa's lightness skills were among the best in the Jiangnan Six Freaks, they could only be considered ordinary compared to true masters. Wanting to deceive Ling Yunqiao's ears and eyes still lacked some skill. However, because he had a plan in mind, Ling Yunqiao pretended not to know and didn't show any unusual behavior.

  After dinner, Ling Yun and Guo Jing helped Guo's mother Li Ping clean up the bowls and chopsticks. Guo Jing then bid farewell to his mother. Li Ping was already familiar with Guo Jing's habit of going out to practice every night and didn't think much of it. After his mother agreed, Guo Jing said a word to Ling Yun, then left the Mongolian tent and headed towards the cliff where he practiced.

  Zhu Cong and Quan Jinfa, who were hiding outside the account, saw Guo Jing leave and also quickly got up to follow from behind. With a famous teacher's guidance and his own hard practice, Guo Jing's skills in lightness kung fu had already reached a high level at this time. Zhu Cong and Quan Jinfa, although they used all their might to display their lightness kung fu, still felt that they couldn't keep up, which shocked them greatly. Fortunately, there were no obstacles on the grassland, so even though they were far apart, they could still see each other, and the two of them didn't lose Guo Jing's trail, following him from afar to the foot of the cliff.

  Guo Jing rushed to the foot of the cliff and didn't stop, directly climbing up the cliff wall. At this time, Guo Jing's light body skill had made great progress, and this cliff was also climbed every night, no longer needing Ma Yu to lower a rope to pull him up, he could climb up by himself.

  Witnessing Guo Jing's agile climb up the precipice, higher and higher, it didn't take long for him to reach the top. Zhu Cong and Quan Jinfa were shocked beyond words, unable to speak for a long time. Judging from Guo Jing's displayed lightness skill, he had already surpassed them as masters. If they had seen Guo Jing's martial arts progress to this extent on an ordinary day, they would have been overjoyed, but today, in this situation, the two of them only felt a chill in their hearts. The master behind Guo Jing must be even more terrifying if he could teach him to such an extent! If someone like that wanted to deal with them, could the few brothers resist?

  After a while, Ke Zhen and four others also arrived. It turned out that they were afraid that Zhu Cong and Quan Jinfa would be in danger if they encountered an unexpected situation alone, so they all rushed over to support them. Moreover, in order to prevent encountering strong enemies, they all carried hidden weapons with them.

  Zhu Cong told several people about Guo Jing climbing to the top of the cliff, Han Xiaoying raised her head and looked up, seeing that the upper half of the high cliff was hidden in the clouds and mist, and she felt a chill in her heart. She said: "I didn't expect Jing'er's lightness kung fu to be so advanced, we can't climb this cliff."

  "Everyone hide in the thicket and wait for them to come down."

  Several others nodded in agreement and hid as they were told.

  After the six freaks ambushed, each of them held their breath and concentrated, ready to fight at any moment. At this time, the cold wind invaded the skin, the cold moon peeked at people, the yellow sand was vast everywhere, the desolate mountain was quiet, and all sounds were silent. Occasionally, a few neighs came from afar, and the seven brothers and sisters ambushed the enemy. This scene was similar to the night battle with Hei Feng Shuang Sha more than ten years ago. The six freaks touched the scene and recalled memories, all of whom were overwhelmed with emotion.

  The six freaks of Jiangnan were ambushing here, but they didn't know that there was another person following behind them. This person was none other than Ling Mu Yun.

  Ling Yun, who was familiar with the plot, knew exactly what would happen next. After Guo Jing left, he also left Guo's Mongolian tent and followed Jiangnan Six Freaks to the foot of the cliff. Seeing that they were ambushing at the foot of the cliff, he didn't move forward but instead circled around them from a distance, passing by the other side of the cliff, and found a relatively hidden corner on the edge of the mountain, hiding in it and waiting patiently.

  Time was not long, only to see a black shadow flying from afar, the person's speed was extremely fast, at first glance it was still several miles away, but in just over a dozen breaths it had already flashed to the front, leaving a fleeting shadow under the moonlight, and even with sufficient eyesight it was hard to capture, as if like a ghost.

  A figure flashed before him, a head of long hair fluttering in the moonlight, and it turned out to be a woman. Upon closer inspection, he saw that this woman looked like she was over forty years old, with dark skin and a rather pretty face, but her eyes were white without pupils, and she was blind. At this point, Ling Mu Yun had already confirmed that this woman was Tie Mei, who had stolen the Nine Yin Manual with Chen Xuanfeng in the past and then betrayed him on Peach Island. Ling Mu Yun held his breath, as people like Tie Mei, who were blind, had extremely keen hearing, and he didn't want to be discovered by her just yet.

  Mei Chao Feng arrived at the foot of the cliff and didn't stop, directly leaping up to climb the rock face. With a pull and a flick of his hand from his waist, a silver-white soft whip over four zhang long appeared in his hand, like a long snake flying and dancing under the moonlight. It wrapped around the protruding parts of the cliff wall, borrowing force to ascend. When he encountered smooth cliff walls with nowhere to borrow force, he would stretch out his hand and insert his five fingers directly into the cliff wall, creating a place to borrow force on the hard cliff wall itself. His climbing speed was several times faster than when Guo Jing climbed the suspended cliff previously.

  Ling Yun saw Mei Chao Feng rapidly climbing up the cliff, and he couldn't help but take a cold breath. The lightness skill that Mei Chao Feng displayed was high, but it didn't make him feel anything, because as someone who also practiced the Nine Yin Manual and cultivated both internally and externally, his own lightness skill was only stronger than Mei Chao Feng's. What truly moved him was Mei Chao Feng's Nine Yin White Bone Claw - the hard stone wall under her claw was like mud, and she could poke five holes in it with just a slight touch. This level of finger strength was truly terrifying.

  Actually, the steep cliff that Mei Chao Feng climbed was the back of the precipice, which was even more precipitous and difficult to climb than the front. It seemed that Mei Chao Feng's double blindness made her unable to distinguish between the difficulties, so she chose to climb up from the back of the precipice. Fortunately, if she had chosen to climb from the front, she would have encountered the six freaks of Jiangnan who were hiding in front of the cliff. If they had fought, with Mei Chao Feng's current martial arts skills, the six freaks of Jiangnan would have fallen into her trap.

  As he saw Mei Chaofeng lightly leap up the cliff, Ling Yun's heart couldn't help but feel a bit tense. Ma Yu and Guo Jing were still on the cliff, although in the original story it was said that they discovered Mei Chaofeng in time and hid behind a rock at the top of the cliff without being seen by her. He was worried that because of him, some variable would be triggered and an unexpected situation would occur. With Mei Chaofeng's current martial arts skills, if she really discovered Ma Yu and Guo Jing and attacked them, even if they joined forces, they absolutely wouldn't be a match for Mei Chaofeng.

  It's okay after waiting for half a day, and there is no movement on the top of the cliff. I guess they didn't fight, so Ling Muyun let out a sigh of relief and continued to wait patiently.

  After a while, Ling Yun saw Mei Chao Feng tumbling down from the top of the cliff. He was startled and quickly hid again, focusing his eyes on Mei's figure. Mei allowed her body to fall freely, occasionally swinging her whip and probing with her claws on the steep wall to slow down. In just two or three breaths, she landed at the foot of the cliff. Without stopping, her figure flashed like the wind, rushing towards the distance.

  After Mei Chaojun left, Ling Mu Yun did not rush to appear. Ma Yu and Guo Jing also slid down from the top of the cliff, using their lightness skills to follow behind Mei Chaojun. Seeing that everyone on the cliff had come down, Ling Mu Yun finally appeared, using his lightness skills to follow far behind the three people, tracking them all the way.

  All four were exceptionally skilled in lightness kung fu, chasing each other from afar on the vast desert.

  Actually, Mei Chao Feng's lightness skill is a notch higher than Ma Yu and Guo Jing's, it's just that she didn't expect someone to be following her from behind, so she didn't use her full strength to sprint. Although Ma Yu and Guo Jing were struggling to keep up, they still managed not to lose her.

  Ling Yun's lightness skill was even better than Mei Chao Feng, so it was naturally no problem. If he wasn't afraid of being discovered by Ma Yu and Guo Jing, which would be hard to explain, he would have already surpassed the two and chased after Mei Chao Feng.
