Chapter 197: How Did It End Up Following the Original Plot Again?
Chapter 197: How Did It End Up Following the Original Plot Again?
"Am I better-looking than you? Am I richer? Am I more capable of standing in the sunshine than you, a lowly rat? Am I more popular with the ladies?" Jiang Feng asked nonchalantly.
"If speaking the truth makes me sound sarcastic and sharp-tongued in your ears, then I can only express my regret. I think you should reflect on yourself and try to be more magnanimous," Jiang Feng replied indifferently, knowing that this battle was inevitable. He gracefully alighted from the carriage and patted Jiang Gui on the shoulder. "Hurry back to the carriage. This is a formidable foe, and I won't be able to look after you."
Jiang Gui hesitated, glancing at Jiang Feng and then back at the carriage. "But..."
"Those boxes only contain rocks. I knew that Jiang Qin would betray us, so I had the cargo divided into five parts and sent them off with five different escort agencies to Shu," Jiang Feng explained.
Nodding, Jiang Gui realized he couldn't be of much help. With a word of caution, he hurriedly mounted his horse and rode back.
Brandishing a sword, Jiang Feng faced the hundreds of large rats and the unseen Wei Wuya. "Come on, let me witness the might of the leader of the Twelve Constellation."
Wei Wuya was indeed a formidable opponent, but Jiang Feng was no weakling himself.
In the world of 'The Sentimental Swordsman and the Heartless Sword', You Longsheng's martial arts skills had already ranked him among the top ten in the Weapons Catalogue. His light body technique was also exceptional. If he wanted to escape, even Official Jin-Hong wouldn't be able to keep him.
Wei Wuya's martial arts might be strong, but they weren't stronger than Official Jin-Hong's, and Jiang Feng's current martial arts skills surpassed even You Longsheng's.
Although he hadn't anticipated facing Wei Wuya, Jiang Feng wasn't afraid now that they were pitted against each other.
Even if Wei Wuya's light body technique was extraordinary, the Yangtze River was not far to the south. When it came to aquatic abilities, how could Wei Wuya, a short rat, compare to him, a child who had grown up by the river?
"Ki ki ki..."
Unexpectedly, Wei Wuya still didn't show himself. With a whistle, the hundreds of large rats charged towards Jiang Feng.
"And you think you're worthy of witnessing my might?" Wei Wuya cackled. "I've always said that I possess unparalleled wisdom in this world. First, get through my Ten Thousand Rats Formation, and then..."
Wei Wuya's words trailed off as Jiang Feng waved his hand, scattering a handful of powder. The charging rats scattered in all directions, disappearing into the woods.
"I heard that among the Twelve Constellations, there's a Snake God with a talent for poison. So, I prepared some powder to get rid of snakes, insects, and rats, and it came in handy," Jiang Feng nodded, explaining earnestly.
Wei Wuya was both shocked and furious, but he also became more cautious.
Those large rats were specially bred and selected by him. They carried a strange and virulent poison that he had concocted himself. If they bit someone, it would be difficult to determine whether they would live or die.
He never expected that before he could even launch a successful attack, Jiang Feng would scatter the rats with a simple powder.
His rats were not something that ordinary medicine could drive away. Whatever medicine Jiang Feng used, it showed that he had come prepared and was definitely not an ordinary person.
The next moment, Jiang Feng continued, "Also, I must say, you're the first person I've met who can control rats. I wonder if you and they share a similar stench, which is why they recognize you as their leader?"
"Speaking of which, with your peculiar taste, why didn't you find someone who looks like a female rat to be your wife?" Jiang Feng sighed. "You're betraying the group you belong to. What you're doing is wrong!"
"Jiang Feng!" Wei Wuya roared, "I will tear your mouth apart!"
Although Wei Wuya had become more cautious, he was enraged by Jiang Feng's words, causing him to lose his temper.
"Look, you're getting angry again. Just now, you said you weren't in a hurry and wanted to show me your...yes, your unparalleled wisdom!"
Jiang Feng spread his hands. "Aren't you supposed to have unparalleled wisdom? As the saying goes, a gentleman uses his words, not his fists. Fortunately, both of us are cultured and skilled in both literature and martial arts. If we resort to violence, what's the difference between us and those unrefined brutes? Why don't we use our words instead and let me witness your eloquence?"
"Surely, with your unparalleled wisdom, you can express it verbally?" Jiang Feng chuckled. "Tsk, tsk, the leader of the Twelve Constellations, feared throughout the world, could it be that you're actually an introvert?"
"I'll kill you!"
A sharp shout rang out, and a short figure shot out from the trees like an arrow, heading straight for Jiang Feng.
"Got you!"
A soft cry sounded, and a white figure floated out from the other side, graceful as a fairy. Her sleeves fluttered as she reached out with her jade-like hand to grab the short figure wrapped from head to toe in green.
"Be careful!"
Jiang Feng's eyes widened as he called out a warning. He forcibly stopped his retreating figure and stepped forward, intending to block the white figure. "That's a fake! Watch out for traps!"
"What?"
Lingxing, who was already in mid-air, was taken aback. Then she saw Jiang Feng flying towards her, his body twisting and turning in the air to block her and the green figure.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, the green figure suddenly shattered, revealing countless hidden weapons that filled the air.
Jiang Feng drew his long sword and swung it rapidly, sending countless shadows flying.
Lingxing's sleeves fluttered as she channeled her qi, sweeping away countless hidden weapons.
However, there were simply too many hidden weapons, far more than an ordinary master could handle with their hands. Despite Jiang Feng's swift swordplay, he was still hit by several hidden weapons, although none struck a vital point.
On the other hand, Lingxing, who was farther away and had Jiang Feng blocking her, was untouched.
"Jiang Feng!"
However, seeing Jiang Feng get hit, Lingxing cried out in alarm. While still in the air, she instinctively reached out and pulled Jiang Feng towards her. Then, she rotated her body to reduce their momentum and landed gently on the ground.
At the same time, another white figure flashed past them and headed straight for the woods opposite.
A pitiful scream was heard, followed by the sound of rustling leaves fading into the distance. Wei Wuya's voice, however, rang out clearly, "Go and take a look at your lover. He was hit by my Black Rat Blood-Breaking Needle and won't live past the next hour!"
The next moment, Yao Yue's figure appeared outside the woods by the official road, her eyes wide as she watched Lingxing holding Jiang Feng.
Lingxing had also heard Wei Wuya's words, and her eyes were filled with tears. "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! You had already seen through his scheme, and you were only trying to save me!"
Jiang Feng lay in Lingxing's arms, unconcerned about the poison he had been inflicted with. Instead, he felt speechless. "What's going on here? How did we end up back on the original plot route?"
"And it's a princess carry, no less!"
