Lin Lingsu suddenly took a few steps back and shouted, "There's no way around it; we each have our own loyalties. I don't expect you to forgive me; I just want you to understand my predicament." With that, he aimed his silver gun at Ming Xiang.
At that moment, a person laughed heartily and appeared on the eaves of a building in Dragon Tiger Mountain. He said, "Since ancient times, love has only left behind regrets. Brother Wei, it would be better for you to slowly savor the taste of love on the Underworld Road. Today, as your brother, I must see you off."
The speaker was none other than Li Xin. Dressed in white like snow, he looked somewhat ethereal as the night wind blew, but his gaze was sharp and eccentric.
Lin Lingsu cast a deep glance at Wei Ning before retreating step by step into the darkness.
Wei Ning took a deep breath as increasingly loud noises came from all directions. He knew that Lin Lingsu must have racked his brains to seal off all possible escape routes to capture him alive. Now, being on Dragon Tiger Mountain, he was in unfamiliar territory—how could he escape?
The time had come to face what needed to be faced. Wei Ning adjusted his breathing, a surge of battle intent rising within him. The hatred from Dragon Tiger Mountain for nearly capturing him twice and the entangled grievances between Zhu You School and Taiping Dao would end with him.
Since there was no way to hide, then let’s fight!
Wei Ning touched the porcelain vial and the Red Pearl at his chest and shouted, "This place is too cramped; if you have the guts, follow me to a more spacious area to spar."
With a long howl, he leaped toward a nearby thicket.
"Catch him!" Li Xin shouted, waving his hand. From all directions emerged countless disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain. Wei Ning called out, "Li Xin, if you're a man, come down here! Let’s settle this one-on-one; don’t hide behind women’s skirts!"
Wei Ning's words were double-edged, causing Li Xin's face to darken with anger. Yet he remained restrained and waved his hand; four disciples had already blocked Wei Ning's path to the southeast.
Wei Ning smiled proudly as he drew out the Red Umbrella from behind him. Lowering himself slightly, he charged forward like a leopard. Before the four disciples could establish their positions, Wei Ning suddenly released the Red Umbrella, striking the leading disciple squarely in the chest. The man didn’t even have time to react before he groaned and fell to the ground. Without pausing, Wei Ning picked up the Red Umbrella and brushed past the other three disciples. They were completely unprepared for Wei Ning to use the Red Umbrella as a ranged weapon; in an instant, he slipped through their defenses.
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet grazed Wei Ning's scalp, causing him to silently exclaim, "That was close."
Suddenly, a sharp voice echoed from a distance: "Chairman, you must capture this person alive! It's that reckless fool firing indiscriminately!"
Wei Ning's heart stirred; he recognized Lin Lingsu's voice. He sighed inwardly—no matter what, she had helped him. If the disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain continued to shoot wildly, even if Wei Ning were a celestial being, he would still fall here.
Why did the people from Dragon Tiger Mountain always go to such lengths to abandon modern weapons in favor of cold steel whenever they tried to capture him? They insisted on taking him alive, and Wei Ning had never been able to figure it out. Yet it was precisely their insistence on capturing him that allowed him to escape time and again.
Years ago, Zhao Zilong had charged into battle at Changban Slope seven times without fear of death, all because Cao Ah Man valued talent and wanted him alive.
Today, let me be Wei Ning, the Zhao Zilong who dares to venture into the dragon's lair and the tiger's den.
At that moment, four disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain wielding long swords rushed to Wei Ning's side, aiming for the gap under his ribs. Wei Ning's eyes widened; one disciple shouted loudly, "Don't look into his eyes!"
But it was too late. The disciple who met Wei Ning's gaze suddenly froze. Instead of advancing, Wei Ning retreated and with a loud shout lifted the man up, spinning him like a windmill. The other three disciples had already drawn their swords; two quickly steadied themselves while the last one lost momentum, driving his sword straight into the body of the disciple Wei Ning held.
Wei Ning hurled that disciple towards them with force, halting their attack. Without pausing for a moment, he dashed toward the thicket, showing no interest in even glancing back at the fallen disciple.
After undergoing Wang Tuozi's rigorous training and the Mysterious Elder's re-forging, Wei Ning finally unleashed his full strength for the first time. In an instant, he broke through two lines of defense set by Dragon Tiger Mountain’s disciples. Clearly, they had underestimated his abilities; Wei Ning was no longer just a guy relying on Yin-Yang Eye or Five Thunder Palm to get by.
On the rooftop directing the battle, Li Xinya gritted her teeth and commanded, "The Zhen position disciples should reinforce the Li position. The Dui position disciples split into three to go to Kun position. The Qian position disciples will focus on offense; we must keep this person occupied. The Xun position disciples will attack from behind while the Kan position disciples wait for an opportunity to ambush—ensure he doesn't escape."
The night wind was chilling, yet Dragon Tiger Mountain was ablaze with fervor as shouts of battle filled the air.
Wei Ning darted left and right within the formation, yet he could not find a breakthrough, as if he had entered a labyrinth. At that moment, Li Xin observed Wei Ning's fierce bravery and decided to change tactics. Instead of rushing to attack, he aimed to trap him in place, slowly wearing him down until he was exhausted, then seize the opportunity to capture him. With no one taking the initiative to attack, Wei Ning found it impossible to break through; under the circumstances, this was the most scientific and reasonable strategy.
What a remarkable Wei Ning! He gathered his strength, first leveraging a tree branch, then stepping onto a disciple's shoulder, launching himself over two meters into the air. This was nearly the limit of human capability. The disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain immediately surrounded him, their blue steel swords pointing upward, forming a forest of blades beneath Wei Ning. To Li Xin, Wei Ning's actions were tantamount to courting death.
However, in mid-air, Wei Ning surprisingly opened the Red Umbrella. A peculiar phenomenon occurred: he seemed to hang suspended in the air!
The disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain could hardly believe their eyes. Wei Ning held nothing but an umbrella; it was neither a hot air balloon nor a mechanical toy. Such a thing was impossible in reality as it defied the basic principles of mechanics.
Wei Ning understood that this umbrella, due to its intricate design, could indeed allow a person to hover for two to three seconds—but only that long.
Yet for Wei Ning at this moment, two or three seconds was more than enough. He swiftly launched a black rope from his hand, hooking it onto a distant treetop. With a powerful leap, he soared like an eagle towards the thicket below.
In his heart, Wei Ning felt a sense of certainty; there was an old saying: "Do not pursue a desperate foe; avoid entering the woods." As long as he could conceal himself within this forest on this dark and windy night, it would not be so easy for the disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain to catch him.
Wei Ning laughed heartily and said, “Thank you all for seeing me off…”
Before his words had fully left his mouth, he suddenly felt as if something had tripped him. Looking down, he realized it was a thin wire no thicker than fishing line. Coated with anti-reflective material, it was nearly invisible in the darkness.
Startled, Wei Ning stumbled slightly and lost his rhythm for just a moment. At that instant, he noticed a massive net springing forth from the trees ahead, lunging toward him.
