Chapter 62

Bailuoluo's heart stirred slightly. She noticed that the direction these four people were heading would inevitably lead them to encounter the people of the Tianlang Sect. She couldn't help but think to herself, "If these four people are also after the Tianlang Bone, won't there be a fight when they meet?"

Ning Yue, as if he knew what she was thinking, smiled and said, "They have already fought once. It wouldn't be surprising if they fight again. Would you like to observe and gain some experience?"

Bailuoluo nodded repeatedly, and Ning Yue led her to a slightly higher hill nearby, where there were a few large trees. Ning Yue and Bailuoluo chose the tallest one and climbed up to look into the distance, just in time to see the two groups unexpectedly meet.

Both sides wasted no words, not even formalities, and immediately engaged in fierce combat.

The eldest disciple of the Tianlang Sect summoned the war spirits of the Tianlang and the Tianma, blocking two enemies alone. The other disciples of the Tianlang Sect were far inferior. Three disciples who had cultivated the war spirits of the Tianlang could only block one enemy, while the remaining disciples who had not yet cultivated the war spirits were overwhelmed and quickly defeated, with one disciple being killed.

When these four people exerted their powers, the war spirits of the spotted leopards appeared outside their bodies, moving with incredible speed and agility. In particular, the war spirits of two of them were quite formidable. Despite being outnumbered, their strength was actually higher than that of the Tianlang Sect disciples.

After watching for a while, Bailuoluo couldn't help but think to herself, "It seems the Tianlang Sect is no match for these four people. I wonder what kind of skills they are using. The war spirits of the spotted leopards are quite impressive."

Although Bailuoluo also possessed two virtual manifestations, one of which was the top-tier Wanbao Lingjian, she lacked sufficient experience in using them in combat. Her use of the life soul was mainly to assist in the cultivation of the Dafutu Method.

The struggle between the Tianlang Sect and their formidable enemies was the best opportunity for her to gain experience.

The eldest disciple of the Tianlang Sect was proficient in both the wolf and the horse, and his Tianlang war spirit had already advanced to the second stage. His hands emitted a cold light, and his mastery of the Youyue Tianlang Sword was ten times that of the five Tianlang Sect disciples Ning Yue had killed.

The eldest disciple's Tianma Ba Jue was slightly weaker, but it was a top-notch movement technique. When used in conjunction with the Youyue Tianlang Sword, it greatly increased his power.

The round moon outside the eldest disciple's body was almost solid, and it absorbed about 70-80% of the attacks from the two enemies. The remaining 20-30% of the attacks were easily deflected by him. Despite fighting two enemies, the eldest disciple still had the upper hand.

The person surrounded by the three Tianlang Sect disciples who had cultivated the war spirits was the most skilled. His strength was slightly inferior to the eldest disciple, but the three Tianlang Sect disciples were not weak. He relied on his speed to engage them in a mobile battle, not exerting much effort.

These two battles were difficult to resolve, but another war spirit martial artist, with his superior strength, was overwhelming the remaining Tianlang Sect disciples.

Ning Yue watched for a while and then focused his attention on this battlefield. He watched with interest as the man displayed his prowess. The war spirit of the spotted leopard moved swiftly like the wind, its four paws flailing, and its aura spreading. After a brief battle, another Tianlang Sect disciple was killed.

Bailuoluo couldn't help but complain, "The Tianlang Sect disciples are fighting individually, which is why they are at a disadvantage. If the eldest disciple could take on one more enemy, the remaining disciples could join forces and successfully kill one of the major enemies. With one enemy gone, the remaining three would be no threat. Isn't this a simple thing to understand?"

Ning Yue sighed slightly and said, "If they could understand, the situation would not be like this now." He understood human nature well, knowing that sometimes, even if everyone knows what the best course of action is, they might refuse to do it for personal gain, but in the end, it will still harm themselves.

This is the most tragic aspect of human nature.

The fall of the Song Dynasty was due to similar reasons. Despite knowing that the Jin and Yuan were like tigers and wolves, they turned a blind eye, cutting down the pillars of the state and allowing the enemy to grow stronger. In the end, even two generations of emperors were captured, and countless imperial princesses, concubines, and noblewomen were forced into prostitution. The destruction of the nation and the severity of the disaster were unprecedented in the past three thousand years.

At that time, there were also descendants of the Song Dynasty's Zhao family who sought Ning Yue's help to restore the nation, but he refused to assist the Zhao family again, as the fall of the Song Dynasty was due to the Zhao family's actions. He only agreed to his junior brother Bai Mire's request to personally challenge the Gray Wolf Martial God Guo Kan.

Ning Yue, reminded of these memories by the Tianlang Sect disciples, felt a bit down and decided not to dwell on these troubling matters. He quietly compared Bailuoluo's martial arts skills with those of the Tianlang Sect disciples and the four people.

Bailuoluo had cultivated the Dafutu Method to the fourth level, the Dapeng Futo, and possessed the Wanbao Lingjian and the Youyue Tianlang Sword as virtual manifestations. Her strength was formidable, enough to match over a hundred Youyue demon wolves. However, she lacked experience, was too young, and her mind was not yet strong enough. Even though her strength was not weak, how much she could actually utilize was still unknown.

"If she were to face the Tianlang Sect disciples who have not cultivated the war spirits, she might have a chance of winning in a one-on-one fight. But against those who have cultivated the war spirits, this little girl would not be a match. If she really encounters such enemies, I think she should run for her life and not engage in a desperate battle with these reckless people."

Just as Ning Yue was calculating Bailuoluo's chances of winning, the battlefield changed. After another Tianlang Sect disciple was killed, the disciples who had not cultivated the war spirits scattered to escape, leaving only the four disciples who had cultivated the war spirits on the battlefield.

The martial artist did not pursue the fleeing Tianlang Sect disciples but instead joined the attack on the eldest disciple of the Tianlang Sect.

Although the eldest disciple of the Tianlang Sect was proficient in both the wolf and the horse, and his Tianlang war spirit had advanced to the second stage, his martial arts were far superior to his fellow disciples. However, he could not fight four hands with two, and after a short while, he began to struggle under the attack of the three major enemies.

He let out a whistle and forcibly broke out of the battle. Just as he was about to retreat, the remaining three Tianlang Sect disciples who had cultivated the war spirits also silently began to flee.

The four people first gathered together, then chose one of the Tianlang Sect disciples to pursue. Their lightness skills were quite remarkable, and they chased for several miles, killing the Tianlang Sect disciple. After a brief search, they continued on their way.

This battle was not particularly exciting. The strength of both sides was similar, but the Tianlang Sect disciples all had their own selfish motives, resulting in a crushing defeat. Four of them were killed, including one who possessed a war spirit, significantly weakening their strength.

Ning Yue had been observing the battle the whole time and could only sigh at the lack of spirit among the Tianlang Sect disciples, unable to think of any appropriate evaluation.

Now that the battle was over, Ning Yue wanted to continue on his journey. However, he suddenly felt a stir in his heart and noticed that one of the Tianlang Sect disciples was fleeing in his direction.

Ning Yue smiled at Bailuoluo and said, "Would you like to try your skills?"

Bailuoluo was overjoyed and slid down from the tree, standing on the hill, watching the approaching Tianlang Sect disciple with eager anticipation.
