Chapter 695: Jin Banhua's Provocation
Chapter 695: Jin Banhua's Provocation
Upon hearing the girl's rebuke, the three white-robed women were startled and quickly replied, "Eighth Sister, it was Senior Sister who brought them down. She said there are assassins outside, and we can't hold them off."
The girl also noticed the green-robed nun at this moment and was startled, "Senior Sister?"
Although the green-robed nun was being punished by Jellyfish Yin Ji and stationed outside the nunnery as a secret retreat for the Divine Water Palace, many new disciples of the Divine Water Palace were unwilling to get close to her.
However, no one could deny the martial arts prowess of this green-robed nun. Even the fourth sister, Gong Nanyan, who was most favored by Yin Ji, might not be her match.
"Senior Sister, are the assassins outside very powerful?" the girl asked.
The green-robed nun remained silent for a moment, glanced at Jin Banhua, nodded solemnly, and then made a few hand gestures.
It was only right to take such a formidable expert seriously, even if she chose to flee without a fight.
"The assassins are formidable. Should we notify the Master?" The girl frowned and hesitated, "But the Master has just taken action. If we trouble her again, won't it make us seem incompetent?"
At this moment, everyone fell silent and quietly watched the white-robed girl and the green-robed nun communicate.
When they first learned that Chu Liuxiang had been captured, they were shocked, but now they realized the situation and looked at Jin Banhua with admiration in their eyes.
They could use the opportunity of the confrontation between Jellyfish Yin Ji and the formidable assassin to rescue Chu Liuxiang in the chaos.
Just then, amidst the night breeze in the valley, the sound of silk and bamboo music echoed, pleasant to the ear but with an underlying metallic tone.
At the same time, eight black silhouettes emerged from the secret passage entrance, taking advantage of the night to dart out and reveal themselves in the moonlight.
"Since you refuse to back down, you shall all die!"
With a shout, they saw dozens of white-robed girls suddenly appear around them.
Black-Cloaked Men: "..."
"There are indeed helpers behind the nunnery. But what can a group of women do?" One of the black-robed men asked coldly, "Who are you, and what is this place?"
"You dare to intrude without even knowing where you are. Indeed, ignorance is fearless."
"Lay down your weapons and await your punishment. Perhaps you may be spared."
"If you resist to the bitter end, you will die a miserable death."
"Huh?" Jin Banhua was taken aback and looked at the leader of the black-robed men in surprise. "Weren't you just saying that your leader was at the back, and even if Jellyfish Yin Ji herself came, she would die by his sword?"
"What?" The black-robed assassin was startled, "Is this the Divine Water Palace?"
"What!" The white-robed girl burst into anger, "Disrespecting the Palace Master, kill!"
The next moment, dozens of white-robed girls swooped down together. Although they didn't use weapons, their palm shadows flew in a thousand variations, making them unpredictable and elusive.
In just an instant, the eight black-robed men were surrounded, and palm shadows filled the air, almost blocking out the moonlight.
"Kill!"
At this point, they had no choice but to fight.
The eight black-robed assassins drew their swords simultaneously, adding eight flickering cold lights to the sea of palm shadows. They broke through the encirclement and shone brightly in the moonlight.
These eight men's martial arts skills were not as advanced as Hu Tiehua, Huang Luzhi, and Dai Duxing, but their sword techniques were even more vicious and deadly.
Although the female disciples of the Divine Water Palace had mastered Jellyfish Yin Ji's true teachings, they lacked combat experience, which often made them hesitant and missed opportunities when facing true experts.
This was the case when they faced Hu Tiehua and the other two, and it was the same now against these eight black-robed men.
If they hadn't been cautious and on guard after suffering at the hands of Hu Tiehua and the others, some of them might have already fallen to these black-robed assassins.
Even so, the black-clad men's swords were already stained with blood, and their white robes were splattered with red.
Of course, two of the weaker ones had also been hit by several palms, and they spat out fresh blood.
The battle in the valley intensified, and more white-robed women appeared. Two white-clad beauties, one on each side, flashed by like lightning.
"Second Sister! Third Sister!" the women cried out.
"Senior Sister?" But the two white-clad beauties immediately noticed the green-robed nun upon entering, and their expressions changed.
They were closest to the green-robed nun and understood her character and martial arts the best. The only reason she would disobey Yin Ji's orders and lead a group of people into the Divine Water Palace was that the enemy was extremely formidable and could not be defeated by force.
"Who are they? What's happening outside?" one of them asked.
The other looked at the women with a flickering gaze and suddenly said, "Regardless, let's capture these assassins who dared to intrude upon the Divine Water Palace!"
Jin Banhua's eyes shifted, and she immediately said, "Be careful, sisters. They have a leader behind them, and he might still be in the secret passage."
The girl called Ninth Sister's eyes narrowed, "Is that the person who insulted our master?"
"Force him out!"
"Death to those who insult the Palace Lord!"
Seeing that the eight black-clad men couldn't break free, the two beauties flew into the secret passage.
Jin Banhua watched the entrance to the secret passage expectantly.
In the original story, the black-clad men were not close to Puti An, but they didn't encounter any obstacles at the time.
As they entered the secret passage in the nunnery, if Xue Xiaoren had also followed out of curiosity...
A moment later, angry shouts and scolding came from the secret passage, and then the two beauties quickly retreated. One had blood on her shoulder, and the other's face was filled with terror.
The next moment, a tall, slender figure in a black robe and a purple sandalwood mask slowly walked in.
His steps were slow, and he held a sword in his right hand, with fresh blood dripping from its tip.
"I was already thinking of leaving, but you insist on keeping me here?" the black-clad man said indifferently.
Upon seeing the masked man, not only did the eight black-clad assassins shudder, but their long swords also became even more fierce and ruthless, and even Yan Dianhong's expression changed.
"You can't leave," a white-clad beauty coldly smiled, "The entrance to the secret passage is also trapped. If you want to leave, you'll have to fly out from the mountain."
The black-clad man fell silent, then turned to Yan Dianhong, "I didn't expect you to have a connection with the Divine Water Palace. Very well."
Yan Dianhong remained silent.
Jin Banhua patted Yan Dianhong's shoulder, speaking in a carefree manner, "Who can blame Yan Dianhong for finding such a good wife, and his good wife happens to have a connection with the Divine Water Palace?"
"Don't be shy, relying on your wife is nothing to be ashamed of!" Jin Banhua comforted.
Yan Dianhong, "..."
Suddenly, one of the black-clad assassins shouted, "Master, this person slanders us, saying that we claimed you would let Yin Ji die by the sword and intentionally lured us into fighting with the disciples of the Divine Water Palace!"
The black-clad man turned to Jin Banhua, his gaze cold and piercing.
"Is this slander?" Jin Banhua feigned realization, "Does that mean you can't defeat Yin Ji?"
The black-clad man's eyes narrowed, and a burst of divine light flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, a tall white-robed woman silently emerged from the water, as if stepping on invisible stairs, slowly walking out of the lake and onto the shore.
Behind her, a stunning woman in a white silk gown followed, her gaze upon the crowd as if they were corpses.
At the same time, a figure silently broke through the water and appeared beside them.
