Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 239 - 142: Stunning as a Celestial, Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands

Chapter 239: Chapter 142: Stunning as a Celestial, Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands

At this moment, Shen Shaohai, who was at the front of the entourage, was yawning and appeared listless. Even the grip on his horse’s reins had weakened.

Thus, he naturally fell a step behind Chu Ning, who was originally walking alongside him.

Exchanging a glance with Han Wangan and Du Huarong, the next moment, Shen Shaohai’s eyes suddenly gleamed sharply.

With a swift wave, the iron fan in his hand opened, sending several black flashes shooting toward Chu Ning’s back.

At the same time, several short arrows unexpectedly shot out from Shen Shaohai’s sleeve, closely following the black flashes.

These short arrows weren’t aimed at Chu Ning’s back but cleverly sealed off the routes Chu Ning might use to evade.

At this moment, whether Chu Ning remained still or moved left or right, he would definitely be hit by one of the hidden weapons.

Seeing this scene, a hint of smugness appeared on Shen Shaohai’s face.

But the next moment, he was slightly bewildered.

Chu Ning seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.

He raised the giant sword in his hand, casually blocking behind him.

"Clang! Clang!"

After several clanging sounds, all those black flashes were astonishingly deflected.

Meanwhile, Chu Ning remained seated steadily, and the short arrows that were meant to block his escape routes flew past his sides.

"Attack!"

Shen Shaohai’s expression changed dramatically, shouting loudly.

However, before he could shout, Han Wangan and Du Huarong had already made their move.

The two leaped straight from their horseback, one swinging a copper hammer, the other dancing with a long sword, both attacking Chu Ning.

Following right behind them, Shen Shaohai also sprang into action, and his iron fan revealed a short sword after pressing some mechanism.

Holding the short sword, he thrust it towards Chu Ning’s back.

The three moved so swiftly that even Li Song and the others at the back didn’t react before they were already upon Chu Ning.

It looked like the weapons of the three were about to simultaneously strike Chu Ning.

At this moment, Chu Ning raised his giant sword with his right hand, swinging it indifferently.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Another series of sounds rang out, and the three found, as if they had seen a ghost, that their weapons had all been deflected in succession by this one swing.

At the same time, they felt a tremendous force hit them, their palms trembled, and all their weapons flew out.

Their bodies were also shaken and fell to the ground one after another.

"How is it possible?"

Seeing Chu Ning still calmly seated on his horse and turning slightly to look at them, the few turned pale, fear filling their eyes.

"What’s going on?"

From behind, Li Song and others finally noticed the anomaly, immediately urging their horses forward.

Looking at the three on the ground, their expressions were as grim as ink.

"Brother Li, can’t you see it? These five are not simple."

At this moment, Chu Ning spoke leisurely.

Meanwhile, figures emerged from the surrounding hills, raising their weapons and charging down.

Li Song’s face changed drastically upon hearing this, seemingly realizing something, and he shouted:

"Five Heroes of Black Mountain!"

As he uttered these words, a chill settled in Li Song’s heart.

The Five Heroes of Black Mountain were not bandits of this road, but they were notorious in the nearby countries.

Every year, many merchants met their end at their hands. It was rumored that each was highly skilled and came and went without a trace.

The people in the Social World only knew these five were immensely skilled, but no one could truly describe their appearances.

Because of this, when the five arrived one after another, Li Song didn’t make the connection.

Thinking of their superior martial arts, even if he gave his all, he couldn’t likely overcome them. A sense of despair seeped into Li Song’s heart.

Li Song’s face changed drastically, and the same happened to Yu Zhengchun and the monkey-like Dai Zu’en.

They never expected that the combined sneak attack of Shen Shaohai and the others would be so easily thwarted by Chu Ning.

In the next moment, they almost leaped up simultaneously.

Jumping towards the carriage where Cheng Jinhe sat.

"Master!"

Seeing this, Li Song and the other guards behind him were aghast and furious.

But just then, a ghostly figure appeared beside the carriage.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

In the next moment, accompanied by two dull thuds, two figures were flung into the air.

Then they crashed heavily five zhang away.

Spewing a mouthful of blood, they breathed their last.

"Big Brother!"

"Second Brother!"

The three who had just been disarmed cried out.

At this moment, they looked at Chu Ning, slowly approaching from behind, with nothing but fear in their eyes.

"Who... who exactly are you?"

Shen Shaohai’s face no longer held its usual nonchalance, staring at Chu Ning like he had seen a ghost.

"You need not know."

As those words fell, Chu Ning’s figure disappeared in a flash.

The next moment, three figures flew up and fell, devoid of any breath.

As for those robbers who had just charged down, witnessing this scene, they paused, confused and at a loss.

"The leaders are dead!"

Then, someone shouted.

Immediately, the hundred or so people scattered like birds and beasts.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, from when Shen Shaohai made his move to Chu Ning’s successive actions.

By the time Li Song and others reacted, the scene, except for five fresh corpses, remained unchanged.

For a moment, everyone couldn’t help but regard Chu Ning as a being of extraordinary prowess.
