Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 257: Being clever but being misled by cleverness

From time to time, terrible growls could be heard in the cave, as if there was a wild beast feeding on medicinal herbs.

Outside the cave, the Tianyi sect members were not frightened by the roars in the cave. Instead, they treated it as normal. While working, they also took time to chat with their companions.

"Do you know? This time when we went out, we bought a total of 300 kilograms of medicinal materials. It cost a lot of money!"

"Why buy so many?"

"I heard that because many people were arrested this time, the demand is huge. I don't know how long this batch of herbs can sustain the expenses?"

"I really envy you guys. You only need to buy medicinal materials in peace. Unlike us, we have to go to those villages and mountain strongholds to capture people. Not only is it tiring, but we may also risk our lives if we are not careful."

"That's better than us staying here to guard. At least you can go out and bask in the sun, and you can also loot when you arrest people!"

"We have to stay in this dark place all day, listening to the roars of the poisonous corpses inside, and we can't even get a good night's sleep every night."

"Do you think being assigned to buy medicinal herbs is a good thing?"

"The place where the herbs are sold is also dark, and the sellers are always stingy. If we spend a little more money, we will be beaten and scolded, and then our wages will be deducted..."

In the corner, the members of the Tianyi sect complained to each other about their grievances.

On the tree, Lu Ping listened to the complaints of this group of people and sighed in his heart: It seems that no matter where you are, the people at the bottom have a hard time, and they are all the targets of exploitation by their immediate superiors and the external environment...

While I was thinking, a voice suddenly came from below -

"I really hope that the leader can turn into a poisonous corpse sooner and destroy, destroy, and destroy all those annoying guys!"

Huh? !

Why does this tone sound so familiar...

Tianbingzi, is it you? !
Lu Ping was just about to bend over to take a closer look when Jie Tianlan next to him spoke.

"There are thirty people down there. We need to act at the same time and subdue them before they can react."

Hey, there's another actor here...

"I'm OK."

After saying that, Lu Ping jumped down directly and landed right in the middle of the Tianyi sect members.

"who?!"

The members of the Tianyi sect were chatting animatedly when they suddenly saw a figure jumping down from a tree. They were about to question and warn the person when they saw that the person did not say a word and quickly attacked them and their companions with fists and kicks.

bang bang bang...

The martial arts of these Tianyi sect members are only slightly better than those of the Western Sword School soldiers, so it is naturally effortless to deal with them.

Lu Ping used his hands and feet, swinging and kicking, attacking the sleeping points on their bodies. Then Jie Tianlan waved his whisk and knocked down the believers guarding the Shandong gate with ease.

In just a few breaths, nearly thirty Tianyi sect members were subdued to the ground by the two men without even making a sound.

"Young Master Lu, let's go in quickly!"

Jie Tianlan called out in a low voice, looking quite anxious.

He did not go into the cave, but stopped at the entrance, looking into the forest from time to time, as if he was alert to the surroundings, fearing that the assault would be discovered by the enemy.

"..."

Bro, can your acting be any more fake?

Under normal circumstances, at this time, we should be alert for people in the cave hearing the noise and coming out, rather than worrying about someone in the forest hearing the noise and coming over, right?
Lu Ping knew that he acted like this on purpose simply to create an atmosphere of urgency so that he could get in quickly and fall into their ambush.

At the same time, he can also follow behind him and launch a sneak attack at any time.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Lu Ping raised his hand to suppress it, and said, "If this cave is really where the poisonous corpse is refined, it must be extremely dangerous. How can we enter it lightly?"

"How about this, please go ahead and explore the way, and I'll be there to provide support at any time."

This guy is using my words!!
Jie Tianlan's expression was completely unbearable, and nameless anger rose in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Master Lu, how about I support you from behind?"

Lu Ping asked back: "Why?"

Jie Tianlan said without thinking: "This is the experience of the martial arts world. When exploring unknown dangerous places, you should let the strong ones stay behind so that you can adapt to the situation..."

He still didn't give up and was still thinking about cheating Lu Ping, and he even found an excuse for it.

But this excuse was not very clever. After talking about it, even I felt so guilty that I couldn't continue.

Lu Ping smiled when he heard this: "Since the strong ones are to be placed at the back, shouldn't it be me who should be placed at the back?"

"How do you think your strength compares to that of the Flame Demon?"

"Just now, didn't you say that you 'deeply admire' my ability?"

After three questions in a row, Jie Tianlan was speechless, sweating profusely, and his eyes went dark.

This time he shot himself in the foot... After a few seconds of silence, Tianlan finally chose to force a smile: "What Mr. Lu said makes sense, then let me walk ahead and explore the way!"

Although the order has been changed, the plan should be able to proceed normally.

After entering, I just need to find an opportunity to get behind this guy and launch a sneak attack.

The two entered the cave one after the other.

The passage in the cave is not narrow, it can even be said to be very wide, enough for three or four wooden carts to enter and exit at the same time, with more than enough space.

There were torches stuck on the walls of the cave. The flames swayed gently with the wind coming from deep within the cave, making the shadows of the two people on the ground hazy.

Not long after entering the cave, Lu Ping discovered that there were many forks and branches inside.

The roads are not only on the same plane, but also have stairs up and down, which are complicated and like a maze. If you are not careful, you will get lost.

Jie Tianlan just walked forward so confidently, without showing any caution of going deep into the enemy camp, nor any vigilance of coming to a strange place.

Isn't this play too fake?
It's hard to imagine that a man who has been in the underworld for more than 40 years would make such a small mistake...

Could it be that the stupidity that the other party has revealed so far was deliberately exposed to me, and this is actually a plan within a plan, I am on the third floor and he is on the fifth floor?
If so, what is the purpose of doing this?

It was not until ten minutes after entering the cave that Lu Ping finally realized something was wrong.

He immediately stopped and asked the figure in front of him, "Senior, don't you think that as the enemy's lair, there are too few people guarding this cave?"

Jie Tianlan stopped, turned around, and gave a perfunctory answer: "Maybe the enemies are deeper inside."

Lu Ping sighed: "Senior, are you alone?"

What did this kid suddenly ask?

Jie Tianlan felt puzzled, but still replied: "Of course I am a human..."

Then he noticed Lu Ping's strange look.

No, what's that look in this kid's eyes?
If I am not a human, then am I a ghost?
Just as Tianlan was about to speak, Lu Ping interrupted him: "Sorry, what I said just now may be ambiguous."

"What I want to ask is, are you here alone for this investigation?"

This is what you were asking?
Jie Tianlan replied, "I did come here alone. Because the case is so dangerous, I don't want to drag down my friends, so I came here alone. What's wrong?"

Lu Ping nodded and said expressionlessly, "I didn't come here alone. I came with a few friends. We just separated to investigate the situation in the forest."

"So that's it."

Perhaps because he no longer had to pretend that his acting skills were not good, Tianlan breathed a sigh of relief, and then his expression quickly turned fierce: "It seems that you have realized..."

"It's too late!"

In fact, the Tianyi sect members, Jie Tianlan and others had already placed spies outside the valley, so Lu Ping and his group were discovered by them before they entered the dense forest.

After receiving the news, they immediately took countermeasures. One of them was to release the poisonous people who were originally wandering in the valley into the dense forest outside to attack Lu Ping and other invaders.

The second countermeasure is to set a trap on the only road into the valley.

That kind of place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as we wait for the enemy to enter and then encircle them from the front and back, we can capture them without any effort. It is an excellent ambush point.

Pian Feng Wuji, Wu Menggui, most of the Tianyi sect members, and other helpers in this plan were all lying in ambush there, ready to catch everyone in one fell swoop.

However, no one in this group of people expected that Lu Ping would not take the usual route, but directly jump over the mountain wall into the valley.

By the time they heard the noise of Lu Ping practicing swordsmanship and killing monsters in the valley, it was already too late.

Therefore, Jie Tianlan had no choice but to show up, expose himself, and pretend that he was also a person who came to investigate the situation, in order to gain Lu Ping's trust, and then act according to the circumstances.

"This forest is dangerous and the cave is mysterious. My friends haven't made any movement yet. I'm afraid something has happened. I think today's investigation will end here. Let's retreat for now."

Seeing the change in Jie Tianlan's expression and hearing what he said, Lu Ping knew that something bad was going to happen and prepared to run away without hesitation.

The whereabouts of himself and others must have been exposed long ago, and since it has been exposed, it is impossible for the other party not to make arrangements.

Lu Ping had anticipated this.

What he didn't expect was the trap set by the other party.

Lu Ping originally thought that Jie Tianlan's appearance, his guidance to him and the cave in front of him were traps they set to capture him and his group.

That's why they took advantage of the enemy's strategy and planned to penetrate deep into the enemy camp and defeat it in one fell swoop.

It was not until just now that he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The real trap is not here, but at the entrance and exit of the valley!
Because other people don't have the lightness skills like me that can directly climb over the mountain wall. If they want to enter the valley, they will definitely pass through there, so that is the enemy's ambush point!
As for Jie Tianlan's appearance, it now seems that it was more to delay time, distract his attention and prevent him from going back to provide support.

No wonder this valley is clearly the enemy's lair, but I didn't see many Tianyi Sect disciples along the way. It turned out that it was because I avoided the most dangerous place!

I am being too clever...

At this moment, Feng Xiaoyao and others might have been ambushed and were fighting hard!
