Chapter 424: Mountain Village Storm
On a sunny day, Zhang Jianjun, Fan Lihua and Gao Cuilan gathered in the martial arts hall of the mountain village, diligently practicing their martial arts. In the martial arts hall, the sound of weapons colliding and their shouts intertwined, forming a vivid picture.
Zhang Jianjun held a spear in his hand, and his body was agile. His spear skills were sharp and accurate. Every move he made was full of power and beauty, as if the tip of the spear could break anything. Fan Lihua was dancing with a pair of short knives, and her blades were as light as lightning. Her sword skills were fast and fierce, dazzling people. Gao Cuilan was practicing sword skills on the side. Her sword skills were elegant and agile, and the tip of the sword drew beautiful arcs in the air, like a dragon swimming out of the sea.
Although the three of them practiced separately, their tacit understanding was obvious. Their movements were coordinated, as if they were one body. The sunlight shone through the window on them, covering them with a layer of golden light, adding a bit of heroic spirit.
However, at this moment, a loud noise came from the bottom of the mountain village, breaking the peace. Hearing the noise, the three stopped what they were doing, with puzzled and vigilant expressions on their faces. They knew that the mountain village was located in a remote area and there were few people on weekdays. This sudden noise must have a reason.
"Let's go and take a look!" Zhang Jianjun spoke first, his voice steady and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination. Hearing this, Fan Lihua and Gao Cuilan nodded and followed closely.
The three of them hurried down the mountain village and walked down the winding mountain road. Their steps were brisk and powerful, as if every step was on solid ground. The scenery along the way flashed in their eyes, but their minds were completely focused on the noise ahead.
When they arrived at the entrance of the mountain village, they saw a woman in white riding a snow-white horse, looking heroic. The horse's coat was pure white like snow, without a trace of other colors, and its four hooves were light and powerful, as if it could walk on the wind. The woman was even more beautiful, stunning. Her skin was as delicate as jade, her facial features were exquisite, and her eyebrows revealed a heroic spirit and pride.
Seeing this, Fan Lihua couldn't help but feel alert. She shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my stronghold!" Her voice was clear and loud, echoing in the valley, as if even the wind was frightened by her momentum.
The woman smiled when she heard that. She responded fearlessly and loudly, "I am Xue Jinlian! I came here to look for heroes!" Her voice was clear and loud, full of confidence and pride.
Zhang Jianjun and Gao Cuilan were shocked when they heard this. They knew that Xue Jinlian was a well-known name in the martial arts world. She was not only skilled in martial arts, but also wise and brave. She was the goddess in many people's hearts. They didn't expect that she would come to their village in person today.
"It turns out to be Miss Xue!" Zhang Jianjun stepped forward, bowed and said, "I'm sorry for not coming to greet you in person. I hope Miss Xue won't blame me." His tone was sincere and humble, without the slightest arrogance or publicity.
Seeing this, Xue Jinlian couldn't help but feel more favorable towards Zhang Jianjun. She smiled and said, "Master Zhang, you are too polite. I came here to ask for a favor."
"Oh? Miss Xue, please go ahead." Zhang Jianjun became even more curious after hearing this. He didn't know what Xue Jinlian wanted to ask for, but since she came in person, it must be something important.
Xue Jinlian took a deep breath and said, "In recent days, I have learned that an evil force is causing chaos nearby. They are burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil, making the people miserable. As a man of the underworld, I naturally cannot sit idly by. But my power is limited, so I have come to seek help from the heroes such as Zhang Zhaizhu."
Zhang Jianjun frowned when he heard this. He didn't expect Xue Jinlian to come here for this matter. He pondered for a moment and said, "Ms. Xue is right. As people from the mountain village, although we usually don't fight with the world, we can't just watch the people suffer. But... our mountain village has a limited number of people, I'm afraid it's difficult to compete with that evil force."
Xue Jinlian's eyes flashed with admiration when she heard this. She knew that Zhang Jianjun did not blindly agree because of his status, but was practical and took into account the actual situation of the village. This attitude made her more determined to cooperate with Zhang Jianjun and others.
"Don't worry, Village Chief Zhang." Xue Jinlian smiled and said, "I'm not asking you to confront that evil force head-on. I just hope you can provide some intelligence and support. After all, you know this forest far better than we do."
Zhang Jianjun suddenly understood what he said. He nodded and said, "Ms. Xue is right. Although we are few in number, our understanding of this forest is unmatched. Don't worry, we will fully cooperate with your actions."
Upon hearing this, Fan Lihua and Gao Cuilan also expressed their agreement. They knew that this was their responsibility and obligation as people in the village. Moreover, being able to fight side by side with a heroine like Xue Jinlian was also something to be proud of.
"Thank you very much." Xue Jinlian bowed and said, "There is no time to lose, let's get started now."
Zhang Jianjun and the others nodded when they heard this. They went back to their rooms to prepare, and then gathered at the entrance of the mountain stronghold. Xue Jinlian rode her white horse and led the way. The group marched towards the hiding place of the evil force.
Along the way, they encountered many difficulties and obstacles. However, with the wisdom and courage of Xue Jinlian and the bravery and skill of Zhang Jianjun and others, they successfully overcame many difficulties. Finally, they came to the hiding place of the evil force - a steep mountain.
On the top of the mountain, the leader of the evil forces was drinking and having fun with his men. They had no idea that danger was approaching quietly. When Xue Jinlian and others appeared in front of them, they suddenly realized what was happening, but it was too late.
A fierce battle unfolded on the mountain peak. Xue Jinlian and others successfully defeated the leader of the evil forces and his men with their superb martial arts and tacit cooperation. They rescued the imprisoned people and distributed the treasures of the evil forces to the poor families nearby.
After the battle, Xue Jinlian and others were warmly welcomed and appreciated by the people. They knew that this was their responsibility and obligation as people in the martial arts world. Moreover, being able to fight side by side with Zhang Jianjun and others was also something to be proud of.
Since then, Zhang Jianjun, Fan Lihua, Gao Cuilan and Xue Jinlian have established a deep friendship and cooperative relationship. They often practice martial arts together, exchange experiences, and contribute to the peace and tranquility of this mountain forest. Their story has also been widely circulated in the martial arts world and has become a good story among people.
