Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: The chrysanthemums are gone

Ding, Player Wei Yi has slain one Blackwater Bandit Cavalry, cultivation not yet advanced, unable to gain cultivation experience, Deathly Thirteen Swords experience +580.

Ding, Player Wei Yi has slain one Blackwater Bandit Cavalry, cultivation not yet advanced, unable to gain cultivation experience, Deathly Thirteen Swords experience +600.

Ding, Player Wei Yi's Deathly Thirteen Swords Lv11 experience has reached its maximum, automatically leveling up to Lv12.

...

Another Blackwater Bandit warrior fell at Wei Yi's hands.

The skill experience he gained allowed his Deathly Thirteen Swords to successfully level up to Lv12.

At Lv12, the power of Deathly Thirteen Swords had far surpassed the Lv10 Storm Sword Technique, especially in one-on-one combat, where Lv12's destructive power was truly formidable.

Wei Yi now wondered, how powerful would the technique become when it reached its maximum level of Lv20?

"Young Master, the Blackwater Bandits have begun to rout. What should we do?"

At that moment, a Wei family guard reported.

Wei Yi raised his head and saw that, indeed, the Blackwater Bandits were already fleeing.

With hundreds of bandits, in their full retreat, neither the Wei nor Zhu family guards could stop them all.

"Continue the pursuit!"

Wei Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam, and he made his decision swiftly.

He was infuriated with the Blackwater Bandits and would show no mercy.

Under his lead, dozens of Wei family warriors quickly mounted their horses and raised their crossbows, pursuing the fleeing Blackwater Bandits.

"Uncle Liu, Wei Yi's going after them. You must help him. Don't let him be in danger!"

Seeing the Wei family moving, Zhu Ling'er hastily called to the captain of the Zhu family guards.

Uncle Liu, hearing this, looked at her with a strange expression. He couldn't help but speak, "Miss, I must ensure your safety. Besides, with Lu Hu here, he won't be in danger."

"Ah..."

Zhu Ling'er immediately realized what she had said, and her face turned bright red.

She lowered her head, feeling nervous.

She had... been too obvious.

Not only Uncle Liu but also the nearby Zhu family guards had noticed her unusual behavior, and they couldn't help but chuckle.

"Awu, take a team and go help."

Uncle Liu sighed helplessly, making arrangements. He couldn't help but think, "A young lady shouldn't be kept at home."

But as he remembered Wei Yi's impressive performance, he felt a slight temptation. Perhaps the Wei family would make a good match for an alliance. After all, Miss Zhu seemed to like him...

"How is this possible?"

"How could this happen..."

"How could a mere hundred Blackwater Bandit cavalry not deal with that Wei kid?!"

On a distant hill, Yu Wenbei looked at the defeated Blackwater Bandit cavalry, his face dark and incredulous.

He had waited for over half a month, and finally, Wei Yi had left the Wei family estate.

For this operation, he had paid a hefty price, borrowing several hundred cavalry from the Blackwater Bandits.

He had thought this would be a sure win. He even planned to harvest the fruits of victory, as long as he captured Wei Yi, he could recover the Crimson Crystal True Flame.

As for what came after... the Blackwater Bandits would be the ones to act against Wei Yi, so he had nothing to fear. The Wei family couldn't touch him, and by then, he'd be in the Overlord Sect.

His plan had been perfect.

But what he didn't expect was that things had turned out so differently.

Defeat!

Several hundred well-equipped Blackwater Bandit cavalry had been defeated!

"How can this be?!"

Yu Wenbei gritted his teeth in disbelief.

He didn't know that although the Wei family only had a few dozen guards, they had made sufficient preparations and had even joined forces with the Zhu family.

Had it only been the Wei family's forces, his plan might have succeeded.

But now, the results were completely different.

"Young Master, we should leave immediately."

A few of his guards urged him nervously.

By now, the Blackwater Bandit cavalry had already begun retreating toward them. They were almost upon them, and if they didn't leave soon, they would be caught in the chaos.

Meanwhile, the Wei family warriors in pursuit began to show themselves.

Though only a handful, they were like tigers among a flock of sheep, and the morale-less Blackwater Bandit cavalry had no resistance. They fled in a desperate scramble for their lives.

"Damn Blackwater Bandits."

"I thought they were formidable, but they're utterly useless!"

Thinking of the price he had paid, Yu Wenbei's heart bled with regret.

Now, he understood one thing: bandits were bandits, incapable of anything truly grand.

"Let's go!"

Yu Wenbei cursed under his breath and, seeing Wei Yi leading the pursuit, quickly mounted his horse and prepared to flee.

"So it's you, that bastard."

At that moment, Wei Yi's eyes narrowed, and he instantly recognized Yu Wenbei.

Seeing him try to escape, Wei Yi's eyes flickered with a plan.

"Yu Wenbei, you coward!"

"Seeing me and still running away in fear!"

"Truly, a mouse in the face of a tiger!"

Wei Yi shouted, his voice carrying through the air.

Yu Wenbei, upon hearing this, almost fell off his horse.

His face turned an ashen shade.

Filled with fury, he wanted nothing more than to tear Wei Yi apart.

"This damn kid!"

"Young Master, he's clearly trying to provoke you. Don't fall for his taunt. We should leave quickly," one of his guards said urgently.

"I know."

Yu Wenbei was no fool. Biting his teeth, he suppressed his rage, no longer paying attention to Wei Yi's provocation, and spurred his horse to flee.

Seeing that his provocation had failed, Wei Yi couldn't help but feel a touch of regret. However, he quickly gave his orders.

"Everyone, aim at that guy!"

"Shoot!"

Upon hearing Wei Yi's command, the Wei family warriors wasted no time.

They swiftly turned their crossbows, firing toward Yu Wenbei.

Countless bolts shot through the air, and Yu Wenbei's face turned pale in fear. His very soul seemed to tremble as he raced to escape.

Fortunately, the distance was great, and the range of the crossbows limited, so he was not hit.

"Wei Yi!"

"This damn bastard!"

Yu Wenbei felt as though he had danced with death, trembling uncontrollably as he spurred his horse forward, his only thought to flee for his life.

"Let me handle this!"

At this moment, Lu Hu drew a large bow, taking a deep breath. His dark eyes glinted with a cold light.

In one swift motion, he nocked an arrow and released it into the air.

Before Wei Yi could even speak, the arrow flew with great speed, tracing a long path through the sky.

However, the distance was too great, and the force diminished.

Just as everyone had lost hope...

A gust of wind suddenly blew through, and the arrow dropped, plunging straight for Yu Wenbei's target.

With an astonishing accuracy, it buried itself deep into the tight space between Yu Wenbei's buttocks.

"Ahhhh!"

A shrill scream pierced the air.

Blood splattered!

The others exchanged looks, then burst into uncontrollable laughter.

The arrow had somehow struck Yu Wenbei's backside.

"Bloody hell!"

Watching Yu Wenbei awkwardly squirm as he fled, Wei Yi couldn't help but laugh in disbelief.

He waved his hand, finally bringing the pursuit to an end.
