Chapter 51

"It seems this time, the Heavenly Spring Sect has achieved a complete victory."

In the end, Ding Qi quietly hid in the distance. After glancing at the unconscious members of the Green Cloud Sect, he looked at the people of the Heavenly Spring Sect and thought to himself.

This large-scale conflict between the Heavenly Spring Sect and the Green Cloud Sect, the two mortal enemies of Jingzhou, was the first time Ding Qi had witnessed such a scene.

He never expected that he would happen to encounter such an event on his way today, which also broadened his horizons.

This was completely different from the disputes between the disciples of the two sects he had seen in Liangcheng. It was not even on the same level. Just the fact that the deputy head of the Heavenly Spring Sect participated in this action showed how extraordinary this conflict was.

For this operation, the Heavenly Spring Sect made thorough preparations and ultimately emerged victorious.

While Ding Qi marveled at how this event had broadened his horizons, he also carefully hid his body to avoid being discovered.

Now that the Heavenly Spring Sect's plan had succeeded, they would soon finish their business and leave.

Earlier, the Heavenly Spring Sect and the Green Cloud Sect had blocked his path, preventing Ding Qi from passing. Now that the matter was over, Ding Qi just needed to wait for a while until the Heavenly Spring Sect left, and then he could continue on his way.

Although Ding Qi was quite moved by this event, it had nothing to do with him. As soon as the Heavenly Spring Sect moved a bit further away, Ding Qi planned to get up and leave.

Just as he was waiting for the Heavenly Spring Sect to finish their business and leave, Deputy Head Xing did not handle the next steps as Ding Qi had expected.

He did not pay attention to the fallen members of the Green Cloud Sect but stood quietly in place, then looked towards a certain spot.

That spot was exactly where Ding Qi was hiding.

"Has the gentleman had enough of the show?" Deputy Head Xing said calmly.

Hearing the thin middle-aged man's words, Ding Qi was startled.

"Have I been discovered?" This thought flashed through Ding Qi's mind.

Although Ding Qi thought this, he did not come out from his hiding place. Instead, he hid himself even better, showing no signs of movement.

Since he discovered the conflict between the two sects, Ding Qi believed he had been cautious enough. His current position was quite far from the Heavenly Spring Sect, so it should have been impossible for them to discover him.

"Could there be another group of people around here besides me!" Ding Qi suspected.

This thought made Ding Qi increasingly believe it was possible, and he decided to hide himself even better.

"Since the gentleman is unwilling to come out, I will have to bring you out myself." Seeing that no one appeared after a long time, Deputy Head Xing frowned and finally said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, several flying daggers appeared in Deputy Head Xing's hand. In an instant, the daggers flew towards the direction where Ding Qi was hiding.

These flying daggers were clearly imbued with powerful true qi. Even over a considerable distance, their momentum did not diminish at all. They flew from several different angles with a sharp whistling sound, completely blocking Ding Qi's escape route. They were about to pin him down.

Ding Qi sighed helplessly and then his body twisted in a way that no normal person could achieve. He activated the Wind Control Technique and instantly disappeared from his original spot. In the next moment, he reappeared several steps away.

Looking at the several flying daggers firmly pinned to his original position, Ding Qi's face showed a helpless expression.

Although the angles of the flying daggers' attack were extremely tricky and almost impossible to avoid for ordinary martial artists, with the Wind Control Technique and the advanced body movement training he had completed, like the Shadow Plum Pile, it was not difficult for Ding Qi to avoid them. Relying on the near-instantaneous speed and bizarre body twisting provided by the Wind Control Technique, he easily evaded the attack.

Then, Ding Qi turned his head and looked at Deputy Head Xing and the others from the Heavenly Spring Sect, muttering to himself, "What bad luck!"

Although he had successfully avoided the flying daggers, Ding Qi's face showed no joy, only a serious expression.

Despite his earlier caution and the distance from the Heavenly Spring Sect, he had unknowingly exposed a weakness and been detected by Deputy Head Xing, who had decades of experience in the martial world. This completely shattered his hope that the Heavenly Spring Sect had not discovered him.

Just as Ding Qi felt helpless, Deputy Head Xing was surprised.

His previous hidden weapon attack was an extremely sophisticated technique in the martial world. If not for his exceptional talent and high aptitude for hidden weapons, he would not have been able to master it. Even among the many experts in the Heavenly Spring Sect, only he could use this technique.

He had always been very proud of this.

However, Ding Qi had so easily avoided his proud hidden weapon attack, which naturally surprised Deputy Head Xing.

Especially when he saw that Ding Qi was so young, his surprise grew even more.

But as someone who had experienced countless battles, Deputy Head Xing quickly adjusted his emotions.

"This young man has such extraordinary skills that he could probably rank in the top ten among the young generation in all of Jingzhou. But it's a pity... Since he stumbled upon today's event... It can only be considered his bad luck." Deputy Head Xing looked at Ding Qi, and a murderous intent arose in his mind.

For Ding Qi, the eavesdropper, Deputy Head Xing saw him as a young martial artist with exceptional talent. Unconsciously, he also harbored a desire to kill him.

Deputy Head Xing was very clear about the importance of the sect's plan, which could not afford any mistakes.

Now that the sect's plan was at the final critical stage and was about to succeed, he would not allow any unexpected events to occur.

Although Deputy Head Xing did not know why someone would appear nearby to eavesdrop, he had already decided to eliminate this outsider who might interfere with the sect's entire plan.

To be on the safe side, he decided to eliminate this unexpected eavesdropper, Ding Qi.

With this in mind, the thin middle-aged man signaled to the Heavenly Spring Sect members behind him and coldly looked at Ding Qi, making a 'kill' gesture. Several Heavenly Spring Sect members nodded in understanding, stepped out from the crowd, and quickly surrounded Ding Qi with their bright weapons.

Seeing the 'kill' gesture made by the leader of the Heavenly Spring Sect, Ding Qi instantly understood what was about to happen, and his face turned quite pale.

These people from the Heavenly Spring Sect clearly feared that he would interfere with their sect's plan and intended to kill him to silence him.
