A tall disciple cupped his fist at Guo Botao and said, "Thanks to Senior Brother Guo for being lurking nearby and taking action in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
This is the one with the highest martial arts skills among the three outer disciples. When fighting against Wang Sanba, he took over most of the moves.
Guo Botao also knew this disciple and said: "Junior Brother Feng, the master has foresight and arranged for me and Junior Brother Lu to lurk in your team. As expected, we ambush these gangsters."
"The leader does have foresight!"
Junior Brother Feng looked at Lu Kun and said, "This must be Senior Brother Lu from our sect. I have long admired his name!"
In the past year, disciples who have started to learn the Diamond Art have come out to perform tasks one after another. The fight between Lu Kun and Cao Yunqi has been known to most of the disciples, especially his special training method, which has gradually spread in the Iron Fist Sect.
.
"You guys can talk to me later. I'll ask you where the Black Wind Stronghold is first and ask a few junior brothers to wait around."
After saying that, Guo Botao brought the six gangsters into the tent with a cruel smile on his face. Seeing this, Lu Kun and others felt cold, and followed his words and walked aside to wait.
You must know that Guo Botao is well-known among all his disciples, not only because of his great kung fu, but also because of his ability to torture people. No enemy can keep secrets under his torture, and he has a great reputation as an "iron-armored cruel official".
However, Guo Botao took great care of his fellow disciples and often helped others block knives. He was very respected by his disciples within the sect.
Soon, Lu Kun and the others heard several frightened begging for mercy and screams coming from the tent. After a meal, Guo Botao came out with a wretched robber with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
He said to several people: "Okay, I have killed the others, and I have asked all the questions that need to be asked."
"Heifeng Village has been in contact with Wudu Sect a few years ago. The two village masters are a pair of brothers. The younger brother is Wang Sanba who was just killed by me. The older brother is Wang Erde. They learned the martial arts of Wudu Sect.
They are all second-rate masters, and they have been hiding their strength before."
"According to Li Gouzi, Wang Erde's martial arts skills are still higher than those of Wang Erde and the Three Hegemons. Apart from Wang Erde, a second-rate master, and a dozen or so third-rate robbers, the rest of the gangsters in the village are ordinary gangsters. We can go there
Tantan, let’s see if there is a chance to destroy the cottage.”
"By the way, Li Gouzi, first tell me where the Black Wind Village is?"
Li Gouzi replied in a trembling voice, with a frightened expression on his face: "Reporting to the uncle, Black Wind Village is on a small peak outside the nearby Luyang Mountains, about a day's journey from here."
"Although this mountain peak is not high, there is only one mountain path from the foot of the mountain to the peak. There are hidden sentries on the mountain path, making it difficult for ordinary people to climb up the mountain silently. Moreover, the mountain stronghold is surrounded by gates and walls, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack."
Guo Botao asked again: "Where is that place behind the mountain peak? Is there anyone on guard?"
"Behind Black Wind Village is a hundred-foot high mountain cliff. Poisonous grass grows on the cliff. The miasma emitted will make it difficult for the internal energy to operate. It is a natural barrier and there is no need to keep a lookout at all."
"Poisonous Yuancao?" Lu Kun couldn't help but ask.
Guo Botao explained: "This herb is very strange and emits a special miasma. It has no effect on ordinary people when it is smelled. However, if a warrior smells it, the movement of internal energy will be greatly hindered. No matter how good the Qing Gong is, it will be difficult to perform it."
When Lu Kun heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and said to Guo Botao: "Senior Brother Guo, why don't we go to the bottom of the cliff behind Heifeng Village and take a look. Junior Brother should be able to climb over from the cliff."
Guo Botao was stunned when he heard this: "But the poisonous Yuancao affects even the top masters. Yes, the junior brother has no internal strength and is born with supernatural power. But the junior brother, even if the physical strength is strong, it will be difficult to climb such a steep cliff."
Lu Kun pointed at the robber and said, "Let this person take us to the cliff behind Heifeng Village first. We will know when we get there."
"Okay, let's split into two groups first. The others will continue on their way to return the goods to Huayuan City. Junior Brother Feng, you stay and follow me and Junior Brother Lu to Black Wind Village."
Under Guo Botao's arrangement, several people followed Li Gouzi and rushed to Heifeng Stronghold. The other guards and outer disciples returned to Huayuan City as instructed.
The four of them, Lu Kun and others, hurried on and arrived at the small valley under the cliff at dusk of the second day. This small valley was full of rocks, with few trees, and rocky cliffs about a hundred feet high on both sides.
Among them, the mountain wall to the east is where Heifeng Village is located. The mountain wall is not straight upward, but protrudes outward at the top, and there is no vegetation in between. No wonder the people of Heifeng Village are so relieved, unless someone knows the art of flying.
, otherwise it would be impossible to enter from the back.
When Lu Kun saw this rocky cliff, he showed excitement on his face and said to Guo Botao: "Brother, this cliff is no problem. I can climb it with my physical strength."
"Please also ask senior brother to wait at the foot of the mountain. After I go up and kill Wang Erde in a sneak attack, I will set fire to the village. When senior brother sees the light of the fire, he can go up the mountain. I will open the gate and the remaining robbers will be fine for us.
.”
On the way, Li Gouzi had already informed them of Wang Erde's appearance, the terrain of the village, and some of the conversations in the village. He also told them that if Wang Sanba succeeded, he would not return to the village until tomorrow.
Now that the village has not received any news, it will not take precautions. Lu Kun is confident that he can sneak in at night.
"What? Junior brother can climb the cliff without relying on internal strength, but Wang Erde's martial arts is not low, junior brother, you?"
Guo Botao was not only surprised by what Lu Kun said about climbing the steep rock wall, but he was also afraid that Lu Kun could not match Wang Erde.
Lu Kun replied in an affirmative tone: "The master has already tried my martial arts before going out. I must have told my senior brother that the second-rate martial artist has long wanted to fight against me."
Guo Botao hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, the leader told him that Lu Kun's Yuan Explosion Fist was extremely strange. It used the pure power of the Vajra Art, which was completely different from the internal force. It was difficult to defend against. Generally, second-rate masters only needed to be beaten by Lu Kun's full Yuan Explosion Fist.
If you get hit, you will definitely die.
Lu Kun walked to the cliff quite excitedly. He was so confident about climbing rocky cliffs because he had climbed dangerous peaks such as Chief's Peak with his bare hands on Earth.
This small mountain peak was far inferior to the Chief's Peak, not to mention that he was stronger at this time. Lu Kun changed into night clothes, moved his joints at will, and started climbing when the sky turned dark.
He used his fingers to grasp each rock crevice, hung his body, stepped on the higher crevices with his toes to support his body upwards, and clasped the higher crevices with his other hand, and climbed slowly like this.
Like a spider.
However, every time he climbed a certain distance, he stayed in mid-air to rest, seemingly recovering his strength, and then continued climbing using the same method.
During this period, he saw many special herbs with three leaves and a faint yellow smoke.
"Is this the poisonous grass?"
Smelling the faint scent of grass, Lu Kun paused when he got stuck on a rock. After making sure that his body's strength was not affected, he continued to climb up.
Baizhang didn't matter whether it was high or not. With Lu Kun's speed, it took him more than half an hour to finally reach the rock protruding from the top.
At this time, Guo Botao and Junior Brother Feng below were sweating profusely and very nervous. At a height of 100 feet, any martial arts was useless. If they fell, they would definitely die.
I saw Lu Kun still holding his fingers in the gap, lifting his body only with the strength of his fingers, and slowly crawling towards the outer edge.
In the eyes of the people below, Lu Kun was as relaxed as a strong ape hanging under a tree. He swayed forward unhurriedly, but every time he climbed a certain distance, he would rest on the spot and seemed to be recovering.
physical strength.
Finally, Lu Kun turned over, hooked his feet on the rocks above, and climbed up onto the cliff, disappearing from the eyes of the people below.
Guo Botao was sweating as he watched below, but he didn't know that in Lu Kun's previous world, many top rock climbers could do this.
"Junior Brother Lu's stunt is really powerful. It seems I don't have to worry too much about dealing with Wang Erde." After seeing Lu Kun climb up, he was completely relieved.
Junior Brother Feng was already dumbfounded at the sight below, and he stuttered a little: "Guo...Senior Brother Guo, I didn't expect that Senior Brother Lu could treat this kind of cliff as if it were nothing without relying on his internal strength."
Guo Botao was quite calm and said: "Junior brother, he is born with supernatural powers and has made rapid progress in the Diamond Art. He is naturally different. I will go to the foot of the mountain to assist him."
"Junior Brother Feng, please escort this robber back to the sect first, and let him report the affairs of Wudu Sect and Black Wind Village to the leader. Junior Brother Lu has already entered Black Wind Village, and we will leave this place to us."
