Chapter 147: Desperate Situation? Absolutely Desperate!

Hundreds of flying knives were scattered densely across the ground ahead. Only then did Kai Xin slowly take out another pair of icy-green gloves—Jade Silkworm Gloves!
Over thirty experts at the Creation Realm from the First-Class Hall came at him with fierce momentum and skilled tactics, clearly well-prepared. This forced Kai Xin to go all out and prepare thoroughly…

In his past life, after three years of effort, he had reached a certain level of mastery in martial arts, even able to rival various peerless experts. But now, he hadn’t returned to that state.
At least!
All those advanced martial arts he once possessed, as well as the “Illusion Demon Movement” that rivaled peerless martial arts, the “Arhat Style” obtained from the Fire Dragon Cave, and various weapons that had broken through to the legendary tier—none of them were with him now.
All he could rely on was his combat experience in facing enemies!
But…
This was clearly not enough to counter more than thirty guild professionals with superior awareness and skills.
So!
He had to make use of and seize the advantage of the Iron Rope Bridge.
Picking up a willow-leaf flying knife, the familiar texture and slightly cool sensation from its blade cleared Kai Xin’s mind, instantly putting him into a state of calm focus.
His gaze shifted to the members of the First-Class Hall who had entered the foggy area…
Kai Xin sighed slightly.
For the first time, he regretted not spending some time practicing archery!
The attack range of flying knives increased with one’s internal energy level, so their lethality was limited in the early stages—the maximum range for those at the Creation Realm was only fifty meters. Relying solely on flying knives, it was difficult to pose a threat to those in the foggy area or stop their advance.
The only relief was that although the enemy had used snake sinew to reduce the shaking of the chains, the strong mountain winds and fog made it hard for them to pose a real threat from the Iron Rope Bridge. Otherwise, just their bows and arrows would have been enough to drive him off Punishment Peak.
Kai Xin was the kind of person who tried to see the positive side of everything, but he never stopped preparing for the worst.
The group on the Iron Rope Bridge quickly passed through the foggy area!
When the two at the front emerged from the fog, Kai Xin frowned. The internal energy focused on his flying knives instantly weakened until it vanished.
It turned out that the two who came out of the fog carried vertical shields that covered most of their bodies. Their hardness could withstand any powerful bow attack, let alone mere flying knives…
“The First-Class Hall truly lives up to its reputation.”

Although the situation was getting worse and worse, Happy’s face showed not a hint of panic. He remained calm, sitting by the cliff’s edge, watching carefully as the people from Yipin Tang advanced step by step. It had to be said that Yipin Tang’s tactics were indeed flawless, exuding a sense of pressure that drove people to a dead end with no way out! The more this happened, the more Happy remembered what “that person” had done… “No chance given to the opponent to turn things around?” When the enemies approached within thirty meters of the cliff’s edge, Happy suddenly uttered these inexplicable words. Then he stood up abruptly, closed his hands, and grasped knives in both hands! At the same time, his eyes stared straight ahead, cold and focused on the two people at the front… “Archers!” Youming, standing among the group, gave a low shout. Immediately, four people took up their bows and arrows, aiming across from the slightly swaying rope bridge. However, under normal circumstances, their movements would have been swift and agile. But on this rope bridge, high above the abyss, with the heavy psychological burden, unstable footing, and the influence of mountain winds, both their speed and reaction were delayed. By the time they finished their actions, Happy had already swung his knife decisively! Under the horrified gazes of everyone, he slashed hard at the chains of the cliff… “!!!” Everyone’s heart sank instantly. Could the rope bridge be cut?! To be honest, the chains of the rope bridge were as thick as an adult’s arm, and it was precisely because of this that they hadn’t included it in their plan. But if that were really the case… then this was a huge joke! So, despite their confidence in the strength of the chains, seeing Happy’s relentless and intimidating actions still filled them with terror. A violent sound wave burst suddenly from the end of the rope bridge! *Screech!!!!!!* The shrill noise shattered the silence! The chains hadn’t broken. But… the people from Yipin Tang didn’t show much surprise, because the moment the sound wave appeared, the chains beneath their feet trembled violently. The four archers who had let go of their bows and arrows lost their balance, swaying violently as they frantically dropped their weapons and grabbed the chains beside them, almost falling from a height of a thousand meters. The two people at the front also accidentally dropped their shields into the abyss in their panic. And that wasn’t all… *Screech!!!!!* *Screech!!!!!* *Screech!!!!!* Wild, ear-splitting echoes reverberated wildly between the peaks and valleys, driving people crazy.

The relentless, intense echoes not only pierced people’s eardrums but also drove a group of people crazy! In an instant, even the mountain winds seemed to intensify significantly!!

“Ah!!!”

Coupled with the violent swinging of the chains, several members of the Yipin Hall collided with each other in the chaos and were both blown off the chain bridge!!

The shrill, desperate screams reaching their ears terrified the other members on the chain bridge; their faces turned pale and grim, as they gritted their teeth, gripping the chains desperately, wishing to escape this hellish place right away.

“Retreat!” “Retreat!!”

Thwack! Thwack!!

Two flying knives pierced the bodies of the two people at the front with precision;

Those hit by the knives saw their internal strength vanish instantly. In agony, they watched helplessly as their hands slipped from the chains, and a strong sense of weightlessness overwhelmed them!!

“No!!”

In the group, Youming had a deathly pale face as he stared at the several dark figures falling into the abyss:

“Retreat! Backward!!!”

His shouts were utterly powerless amidst the roaring sounds between the two peaks and the howling mountain winds.

On the unstable chain bridge, everyone clung tightly to the chains, unable to move due to loss of balance, acting like moving targets that could be easily shot into the abyss by those on the other side.

One… another!

This time, those who followed the Yipin Hall leader to the Peak of Punishment were all the core elite members of Yipin Hall. Each of them had achievements and strength comparable to Youming’s. Youming had given guarantees to the guild leader, yet ended up like this—he couldn’t even imagine what awaited him upon returning…

But he knew.

Since entering the “Jianghu,” Yipin Hall had never lost so many elites at once or been in such a desperate situation before.

If he failed to save the remaining people and more sacrifices occurred, even if the guild leader forgave him, his brothers would not accept it, and he himself could never forgive himself.

It was because his pre-battle reconnaissance had been inadequate! His information gathering was incomplete! His calculations were severely flawed…

And more importantly!

He had put everyone into combat at once. Although urgency played a role here, it was a highly irresponsible move on the part of a guild leader.
