The first light of dawn breaks, and the silence of the night is replaced by a new commotion. Four knights stand at the edge of the bamboo forest, gazing at the distant, heavily clouded horizon, with a premonition in their hearts that this will be an extraordinary battle.
Feng Qingyang stands at the forefront, with a posture like a pine tree and eyes like torches, and speaks, "My friends, though the road ahead is uncertain, we have no retreat. Today may be a battle where we live and die together."
Lin'er, holding a short sword in both hands, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, responded, "Tsk tsk, Feng the Hero, your words are too heavy. Since we're here, we'll face it. Whoever comes, even though unknown, with the strength of the four of us, how could we be afraid?"
Shi Potian, wielding a large knife, with a hearty laugh, said, "Haha, exactly! One comes, I'll chop one; a pair comes, I'll cut one. Today, let them know that we are not easily bullied!"
The mortal world, with a light whip in hand and a calm demeanor, lightly spoke: "You make sense. But victory and defeat are common in the art of war. We must act with caution in order to have no regrets."
As soon as the words fell, a powerful momentum suddenly surged from a distance, accompanied by a change in the weather. The earth and sky seemed to tremble in response. The four individuals quickly took their positions, each brandishing their Divine Weapon, ready for battle.
Suddenly, a dazzling light streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire bamboo forest. Everyone looked up and saw a figure descending from the sky, stepping on nothingness, holding a long spear with majestic momentum. It was none other than the mastermind behind many incidents - Ghost Shadow.
Feng Qingyang frowned slightly and said, " Ghost Shadow, are you here to probe our details?"
Ghost Shadow sneered and spoke in a booming voice, "Qingyang, the four of you may be skilled, but today I have come to let you witness firsthand where true power lies!"
Before the words had even finished, Ghost Shadow shook the long spear in his hand, causing a strong wind to rise and clouds to gather in the sky, quickly enveloping the surroundings with a sense of oppression. The four heroes' faces turned serious as they each displayed their unique skills, preparing to confront Ghost Shadow.
The battle is about to begin, and Shi Potian takes the lead, wielding his broadsword and charging forward. The large blade spins like a windmill, creating a whirlwind that directly approaches Ghost Shadow. Ghost Shadow remains calm and composed, effortlessly neutralizing Shi Potian's attacks with a turn of his long spear.
Seeing this, Hong Chen cracks his whip, transforming it into countless whip shadows that surge towards Ghost Shadow like waves. With a cold snort, Ghost Shadow lightly swings his long spear, gracefully maneuvering through the whip shadows as if dancing like a butterfly among flowers, causing the whip shadows to disperse.
At this moment, both Feng Qingyang and Lin'er made their moves simultaneously. Feng Qingyang's long sword carried an unfathomable sword intent, with the sword light flowing like water, directly aimed at Ghost Shadow. Lin'er, on the other hand, had a light figure, using a short sword in combination with hidden weapons, launching a dense and intense attack, putting pressure on Ghost Shadow.
Seeing the four of them closing in, Ghost Shadow couldn't help but show a look of surprise, then sneered, "Not bad, indeed living up to your reputation. But do you think that this will be enough to control me?"
Wind Qingyang held a long sword in his hand, with a hint of determination in his eyes, but a sly smile played at the corners of his mouth, seemingly mocking Ghost Shadow's arrogance. He whispered to Lin'er and the others, "Today, let this monster see what true unity among martial artists is."
Lin'er gracefully turned around, her short sword and hidden weapons silently spread around her. She smiled teasingly and said, "It seems like we're about to witness a 'hero saves the beauty' scene, but I wonder who will end up saving whom?" Her voice was not loud, but it was enough to be heard by her companions, easing the tense atmosphere.
Shi Potian raised his big knife as if it carried the momentum of wind and thunder, and he laughed heartily, "Haha, with this strike, I guarantee that even the Ghost Shadow will be scared out of its wits!" His burly figure and every swing of his knife stirred up gusts of wind, lending extra force to his words.
Red Dust calmly gripped her long whip, its shadow dancing like a wandering dragon. A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she said, "Let this evildoer pay the price." Her voice was icy, yet it exuded determination and unwavering resolve.
Ghost Shadow saw the situation and his face changed. He knew that the four individuals were not to be trifled with, but he still refused to give up easily. Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "You think you can contend with me with just your abilities? A fool's dream!" Immediately, the dark energy surrounding him grew denser, and the black light on his long spear writhed like a living creature, attempting to devour all light.
The battle was about to begin, and the four individuals almost simultaneously made their moves. Their attacks swept in like a raging storm, each strike containing astonishing power. Qingyang's sword light poured down, cutting through the void with an unprecedented force; Lin'er's combination of short sword and hidden weapons was seamless, the sound of the hidden weapons cutting through the air interweaving with the sound of the short sword, creating a symphony of slaughter; Red Dust's long whip drew sharp whip shadows in the air, each strike seemingly freezing the space; Shi Potian's large blade stirred up a gust of blade wind, within which seemed to be hidden thunder, shaking people's hearts.
Ghost Shadow was struggling under the combined attack of these four forces, and despite his efforts to resist the dark energy and the black light on the long spear, he gradually lost his advantage against the power of Divine Weapon. In the end, with a deafening roar, Ghost Shadow was struck as if by lightning, and he was sent flying backwards, crashing heavily into a distant boulder, coughing up blood from his mouth. He was ultimately forced to retreat, heavily injured, under the combined assault of the four.
Wind Qingyang sheathed his sword and looked coldly at the fleeing Ghost Shadow, saying, " Ghost Shadow, your ambition is ultimately futile." His voice, though not loud, contained undeniable authority.
Lin'er put away her short sword, let out a sigh, and smiled, "It seems that today's battle has come to a satisfactory end." Her smile carried a hint of mischief, but also revealed some fatigue.
Shi Potian waved the big knife in his hand and said boldly, "This is the power of justice, evil will not prevail!" His words were full of righteousness.
Hongchen put away the long whip, still looking calm, but smiled when looking at his companions, affirming the victory and showing trust in his companions.
After the battle, the four heroes stood in place, exchanged smiles, and felt amazed and delighted by the power of the Divine Weapon. Qingyang took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Today's events have shown us the true power of the Divine Weapon. However, the Ghost Shadow remains, and we must still be cautious."
Lin'er picked up a fallen leaf, gently blew on it, and watched it scatter in the wind. She smiled and said, "Although we have won today, it has also made us more vigilant. It seems that our path ahead is not smooth."
Red Dust put away the long whip, with a determined look in his eyes, and said quietly, "No matter what lies ahead, since we have chosen this path, we must move forward with courage. Our strength will surely grow stronger."
Shi Potian brandished a large knife, filled with heroic spirit, and laughed heartily, "Haha, what is there to fear! In times of trouble, we face it together; in the face of enemies, we fight together. As long as the four of us are united, there is no enemy in the world that cannot be conquered!"
All four of them had gained insights in their hearts, and their trust and friendship with each other had become even stronger. As long as the four of them were united, they would be invincible. As the morning light gradually brightened, the figures of the four knights gradually merged into the bamboo forest.
With the dust of battle settling, the four knights took a brief rest in the morning of the bamboo forest. Wind Qingyang slowly sheathed his sword, gazing expressionlessly into the distance. Although he did not speak, everyone could sense his lingering worries from his eyes.
Lin'er lightly picked up a fallen leaf from the ground, gently caressing it in their hand as if trying to interpret its texture. Then they looked up at Qingyang and said with a smile, "Feng Daxia, with that worried look on your face, are you concerned about whether Ghost Shadow has been completely eradicated, or are you pondering what to have for dinner?"
Shi Potian waved his blood-stained big knife with a malicious smile and said, "Hmph, if Ghost Shadow comes again, he won't leave alive! As for dinner, I hope we can find a fierce beast to satisfy our hunger. These wild vegetables and fruits of the past few days are hard to swallow."
The red dust lightly coiled the long whip around her waist, and at that moment, a rare softness appeared in her eyes as she softly said, "You two always joke around like this, but it's also a good way to relieve tension. However, we do need to plan our next actions carefully. Although the Ghost Shadow has retreated, the remaining enemies are still unknown."
Upon hearing this, Wind Qingyang couldn't help but smile and nodded in agreement with Red Dust's insight. He then turned to the others and spoke in a serious tone, "Red Dust is right. Although the Ghost Shadow has temporarily withdrawn, we cannot relax our vigilance. Going forward, we need to be even more cautious and make thorough preparations to deal with any possible situations."
Lin'er Upon hearing this, he frowned as if in deep thought. Then a glint of inspiration flashed in his eyes as he suggested, "In that case, why don't we head back to the nearby town first to replenish some essential supplies? We can also gather some information along the way, which might be helpful for our mission."
Shi Potian Upon hearing the suggestion to return to town, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed excitedly, "Great idea! I can also indulge in the town's fine wine and cuisine. The past few days in the wilderness have been quite dull."
The world smiles faintly, but does not express approval or disapproval, simply saying, "As long as it helps us achieve our goal sooner, I have no objections to any means."
Feng Qingyang looked at the three people, finally nodded in agreement to the plan, saying, "Very well, as Lin'er suggested, we will set off immediately for the town. But before we go, we need to make adequate preparations to guard against any unforeseen circumstances."
Four people then began to organize their belongings, confirm the necessary supplies, and agreed on response strategies with each other, in case they encountered potential threats in town or were pursued by the Ghost Shadow.
After finishing packing, Feng Qingyang took the lead, and the four of them slowly left the bamboo forest and headed towards the town. Along the way, they remained vigilant, constantly paying attention to the movements around them, ensuring that their whereabouts were not discovered by the enemy.
The town's scenery was largely the same as when they left. The bustling streets were filled with people going about their business, seemingly unaffected by the external conflicts. The four of them moved inconspicuously through the crowd, searching for the supplies they needed.
