Chapter 139: Fight Your Way Out (Part 2)
For the three of them to fight their way out of the side room was already quite an accomplishment.
This was mainly because all three were trained martial artists, each with considerable skill.
Even Yang Yiyi, the worst of them in terms of martial arts, possessed a terrifyingly immense brute strength.
It was a good thing this was a wuxia world, where combat power was different from that of ordinary people.
Otherwise, no matter how skilled an old master was, he would still have been hacked to death by a flurry of blades.
However, even in a wuxia world, the principle that two fists are no match for four hands still applied.
Yang Yiyi had thrown her staff to strike the one using hidden weapons, leaving herself not only empty-handed but also with an opening that allowed the pursuing men in black to attack her from both sides.
Under normal circumstances, one could only retreat at this point, dodging the blades before figuring out what to do next.
But Yang Yiyi was exceptionally brave and didn't move at all, allowing the blades of the long-handled sabers to slash at her ribs.
The two men in black, thinking they had succeeded, immediately discovered that the blades of their long-handled sabers couldn't cut in at all, as if they were striking iron armor wrapped in leather.
Yang Yiyi seized the moment they swung their sabers to attack, striking out with both palms and landing a solid palm strike on each of their sternums.
The two men immediately flew back four or five meters as if they'd been hit by a car, knocking over several more Plum Blossom Guards who were rushing to provide support.
This was all thanks to the Tiger Fur Vest.
"Damn it! Can you be more careful!"
Yang Yiyi felt her move to bait the enemy was well-executed, but Li Chengxi, watching from the other side, broke out in a cold sweat.
When the tiger demon gifted her this vest, he had said it was impervious to blades and spears.
But that was just what the tiger demon had said; who knew what its actual defensive capabilities were.
You had to know, even bulletproof vests were graded; no single vest could defend against all bullets.
If the Tiger Fur Vest could only block the cuts and scrapes of a small dagger, the two long-handled sabers might not have split Yang Yiyi in two, but they would have at least inflicted serious injuries.
Hearing that Li Chengxi was truly angry, Yang Yiyi stuck out her tongue, and with a few steps, caught up to Zheng Yinping and Li Yingluo.
She used the Black Tiger Snatches the Heart move from the Tiger Claw Hand to send an approaching Plum Blossom Guard flying.
Being without a weapon and relying solely on pugilism was a great disadvantage in such a chaotic battle.
Yang Yiyi also wasn't like those great heroes who had mastered divine techniques and could project their internal energy, felling several large men with a single punch.
The moment she executed the Black Tiger Snatches the Heart, someone behind her immediately raised a long-handled saber and swung it down at her head.
If she had her staff, a simple sweep behind her would have been enough, but now, empty-handed, how could her arm be longer than their saber?
Yet, Yang Yiyi neither dodged nor evaded.
With a Lion Shakes Head, she met the edge of the long-handled saber head-on.
A crisp crack was heard.
Yang Yiyi's head was completely unharmed, but the saber's blade had shattered to pieces, leaving only the hilt in the man's hand.
The man in black, masked and hooded with only his eyes showing, stared at the hilt in his hand, his eyes nearly popping out.
He had never seen a head harder than a saber.
Yang Yiyi paid him no mind.
While the man in black was still in a daze, she darted forward and executed a series of Jade Rabbit Kicks, sending him flying into a decorative rockery with two thudding kicks, then used the momentum from the final kick to leap forward and catch up with Zheng Yinping and Li Yingluo.
Watching from the other side of the screen, Li Chengxi's heart was in his throat.
If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, he really wanted to reach into the screen, grab Yang Yiyi by the ear, and give her a good shake.
He had just told her to be careful, and the next thing she did was take a steel saber to the head?
This girl must have the memory of a mouse, forgetting things as soon as she was done with them.
But then again, the ferocity of the Iron Head Skill was also a bit beyond Li Chengxi's expectations.
The name sounded a bit like a street performer's trick, but when Yang Yiyi used it, she was like a dump truck, crashing into anything and anyone in her way.
Actually, it wasn't entirely due to the technique.
Li Chengxi had put all her points into her physique, and physique represented not just great strength, but also her health points and defense.
For external martial arts, there was no attribute more important than physique, which was why the Iron Head Skill was so outstanding.
If someone else practiced it, it would definitely not be this exaggerated.
Thinking back, when Yang Yiyi first learned the Iron Head Skill, she practiced by swinging her head in the air.
Later, feeling that wasn't enough, she started ramming into trees.
She had knocked down more than a dozen trees just by practicing.
Later, she found that ramming trees still wasn't enough, and every time she did, the monkeys felt heartbroken, as one less tree meant one less tree's worth of fruit.
So Yang Yiyi started ramming rocks, ramming granite…
Before leaving Peach Blossom Valley, she would practice by ramming her head against a rock wall.
Not only was her head fine, but she also left the hard granite a battered mess.
A mere steel saber was no problem.
Li Chengxi even mused that if he could get his hands on the Golden Bell Shield or Iron Cloth Shirt techniques in the future, Yang Yiyi would probably become a human-form Gundam, a truly indestructible vajra body.
Of course, the sight of a flesh-and-blood body clashing with weapons was indeed a nail-biting spectacle.
Catching up with the two who were clearing the path, Yang Yiyi finally behaved.
She casually reached out and grabbed the Compliant Golden-Hooped Staff that had fallen from the roof along with a man in black, and began to twirl it in a series of dazzling staff flourishes.
If you were swept aside by Zheng Yinping's spear shaft or parried by Li Yingluo's longsword, you might still have a chance to be saved.
But if you were struck by Yang Yiyi, there was absolutely no chance of survival.
Because there was no reference point before, both Li Chengxi and Yang Yiyi didn't know just how strong she had become after putting all her points into physique.
But after fighting with this group of Plum Blossom Guards, it was clear that any man in black who came up against Yang Yiyi would, in the most literal sense, die upon contact and be wounded upon being grazed.
It was just that Yang Yiyi herself wasn't aware of it.
She thought she was just knocking people away and hadn't used much strength.
But in reality, the men in black who were sent flying either had all their bones shattered or their internal organs ruptured.
The more unlucky ones had their spines bent into a '7' shape.
Even if they survived, they would surely be paralyzed for life.
Yang Yiyi was unaware, but the Plum Blossom Guards saw it very clearly.
They all regarded her as an extremely vicious female devil.
By the time the three of them entered the inn's main hall, the men in black were hesitant to attack from behind, afraid of being sent flying by Yang Yiyi.
After all, how many silver taels do you make a month? Why risk your life for that?
Once inside the main hall, it was immediately much safer.
At least no one would be shooting hidden weapons from the rooftop.
The three didn't want to linger.
With Zheng Yinping clearing the path with her red-tasseled spear, they quickly dealt with the main gate blocking their way.
Then, the three young ladies, under the grand welcome of a corridor of men in black, rushed out of the inn, leaving only a mess behind.
The night watchman, carrying a lantern and striking his clapper, happened to see this scene and was clearly stunned.
Then, seeing countless men in black rush out from both sides of the street, he immediately let out a blood-curdling scream and fled with his head in his hands.
There were already quite a few men in black in the inn.
To say there were over a hundred might be an exaggeration, but there were definitely several dozen.
Unexpectedly, there seemed to be even more people outside.
Zheng Yinping swept her long spear, knocking down a feathered arrow.
"I didn't expect an ambush here. Follow me, we're getting out of town!"
Blocking hidden weapons like throwing darts was possible because they didn't have much force, depending mainly on the user's arm strength.
But a bow and crossbow were no joke.
The imperial court would regulate long spears, but it strictly forbade the private ownership of bows and crossbows.
This was because in the cold weapon era, these things held the same status as drawing a gun.
The most effective weapon for the imperial court to deal with people from the martial world was to set up a military formation and let the bows and crossbows do the talking.
