Chapter 157 - 129: The Revenge Begins
"Giddy up! Giddy up!"
The tall and robust steed galloped furiously on the official road, its iron hooves trampling the ground and sending out a series of crisp clopping sounds, as the dust it kicked up had just risen when it was already flung far away.
Several agile figures rode on their steeds, charging towards the direction of Sanyang City at breakneck speed.
After a full five days of rest, on the dawn of the sixth day, Zhao Ge, Zhao Qian, Rong Niang, Shou Hou, and Li Yi set out from You Shui Town. They were ready and this time they no longer hid their tracks or skulked around, but openly rode their fine horses along the official road, heading straight for Sanyang City.
Their purpose for this journey was only one, to seek vengeance and wash away their humiliation.
During the nearly six days, both Rong Niang and Shou Hou, nourished by the nutrient liquid, had healed up quite well. Even if they had to take action, it was no big trouble. Master Zhao Ge had also mostly recuperated, though some internal injuries remained, but he was much better than before. The lost qi-blood was also replenished quite a bit, and he seemed a few years younger. Although he had not returned to his peak, he estimated that he still had about sixty to seventy percent of his strength.
As for Li Yi, his change was even more pronounced. He achieved Bone Training to a great level in three days, his tendons, bones, and skin fusing as one, his divine power erupting. Even a Qi Cultivation Expert would have to retreat before him. For the remaining two days, his master Zhao Ge tutored him personally, rectifying the deficiencies in his fighting techniques, and also passed on several capstone moves from the Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall. His combat skills had improved again, which delighted him greatly.
Zhao Qian also underwent significant changes; she had become proficient at using the sniper rifle, even capable of assembling and disassembling it quickly. But in order to seek vengeance, Li Yi also had her perform live-fire training, firing a total of twenty conventional bullets. Despite the pain of parting with ammunition, it was worth it. At the very least, she now knew how to shoot at moving targets and had very high accuracy.
In these six days, even the Eight Treasures Deer seemed to have transformed.
