Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation Chapter 159

With Xie Ting leading the way, the journey became smoother. The sun gradually descended behind the dunes, and the sand-filled wind engulfed the skies. In this kind of climate, if they weren't careful, they could run into a typhoon.
The sand dunes were pretty high on both sides, and the path they were walking through felt like as if they walking through a canyon.
"This place is the Dragon Gathering Dunes."
Professor Xu and the others who had completely lost interest in exploring and wished to escape as soon as possible couldn't help but take out their data and compare. The structure of the dunes drawn on their materials had a 90% similarity with their surroundings.
"Yes! It's this place!"
The professor and the experts nodded after confirming it.
A curl rose up on Meng Fei's mouth after seeing this. It seemed that Xie Ting hadn't played tricks on him. She opened her mouth at this moment, "Next, we should go in that direction."
Xie Ting pointed towards one of the paths, "This way leads to the Thousand Ghosts Cliff. Only, looking at the weather, it seems like a sandstorm is going to approach."
Those who have lived in the desert for a long time were good at predicting the weather here.
If they encountered a sandstorm, it would be difficult to come out alive from it.
"A sandstorm, huh?"
"Sang Bao, grab a few of them so we can play darts."
Xie Ting was stunned. She felt indignant. It wasn't like she had decided whether the sandstorm would appear. She couldn't understand why he wanted to kill people again. However, if she insisted on going into the Thousand Ghosts Cliff now, not only would these weak students die, the chances of her surviving would be low as well. It would be akin to leaving everything to God and relying on luck.
"Don't take the students. Use me!" Xiao Zhang shouted.
"Alright. Grab him then."
Xie Ting said in a cold voice, "Go in if you want to, but you will definitely suffer if you…" Xie Ting knew that according to the nature of these bandits, only a few would survive by the time they reach the ancient city. She felt it was somewhat better to bet everything against them instead.
Jiang Xiu had also seen the data on Thousand Ghosts Cliff. This was a bizarre region in the desert. Both sides were filled with black colored rocks, and when the wind blew past these bumpy rocks, they would release a ghastly scream. Moreover, black clouds had also gathered over the sky, and the signs of an incoming storm were evident. It looked quite frightening.
The wind was blowing quite hard on the ground, so much that they found it quite challenging to move forward, but Meng Fei, this demon, wanted them to absolutely go through the Thousand Ghosts Cliff.
"AAAAHHH!"
Followed by a scream, one of the suitcases was blown up into the sky.
One of the members of Meng Fei's gang said, "Boss, this is too difficult. We will get blown away by the wind if we continue. It's best if we find a place to hide among the sandstones."
Meng Fei cursed out.
"Move towards the cliff walls…"
These cliff walls were 20-30 meters high, and the paths inside were very tangled and complicated. If they went in too deep, it would be difficult to find the way back, so they only stood at the entrance.
After going inside, Meng Fei let Sang Bao play darts. These people appeared quite violent on the surface, but they actually understood how to intimidate others pretty well. If it felt too comfortable, not only would they loosen up, it would give birth to the thoughts of resisting them or escaping from them in the minds of their captives.
"Take me!" Xiao Zhang walked out with bitter hate in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth in rage.
Xiao Zhang stood at the cliff wall with his back against it. Sang Bao, who was standing opposite to him, revealed a sinister smile while holding a dagger with a sharp edge which could easily pierce into the body, "You better not move or else my knife would miss and land on your head. That would end all the fun."
The students had almost stopped breathing due to the fear.
They had seen this kind of trick in a circus before, and even street performers did it, but those were all tricks while this was real. Life could be lost any second now. Qiu Yinru and the other girls were so scared that they didn't dare to look at it.
"Do it!"
Xiao Zhang's face became flushed. He was brave, but that didn't mean he wasn't afraid of death.
Whoosh!
A white glint flashed, and Xiao Zhang suddenly closed his eyes. Everyone screamed in alarm yet heard Sang Bao say, "You are a little brave…" That knife had cut past Xiao Zhang's cheek and pierced deep into the dock. His life was safe for now.
The team members relaxed their breath after seeing this.
However, San Bao's following words made their hearts collapse yet again, "The next one now…"
"What?"
Everyone among the exploration team was outraged. This was too much, but they just couldn't resist when facing that dozen or so machine guns as their conclusion was pretty evident if they did.
Li Chengzhi suddenly said, "That throw is nothing great!"
Sang Bao, who was initially feeling quite proud, revealed a cold expression, "What did you say?"
"I say your throw is nothing great. Don't try to show off here. If you don't believe me, why don't we bet on it?"
"Interesting. Very interesting…"
Meng Fei said, "I have also heard about Master Li's famous name. Let's have fun then. If you win, this game will end, if you lose, I'll kill another person…"
"Alright, it's a deal then."
"Li Lei, go compete with him…"
His son nodded then walked out. His face was pale due to the nervousness, but there was no hesitation on that face.
"How shall we compete then?"
"That rock there. Whoever shoots the knife deeper wins!" Li Chengzhi suggested.
The rocks in the deserts were a little spongy while some of them were incredibly hard. That rock Li Chengzhi had pointed towards was a hard one. Since Sang Bao was able to throw the knife deep into it, his skills were pretty good.
"Alright!"
Xie Ting asked Jiang Xiu again in a quiet voice, "Do you have any methods to kill all these bandits? Even if I take them to the ancient city, they won't let us go."
"How will I do it? They have guns."
In Xie Ting's mind, Jiang Xiu wasn't a person like this. He was quite valiant and would behead people with a wave of his hands. Back then, he had killed 7-8 people within a snap of his fingers so there was no way he would be afraid of just a few bandit's guns.
Since they were among the group, it was difficult for someone to not hear them. Chen Dewen was right beside them, "Don't count on him. He's just a good-for-nothing. We ran into these robbers because he was too slow."
Chen Dewen released his fear and rage by blaming Jiang Xiu for everything.
In reality, the reason Jiang Xiu was slow was that he had a purposefully given him a shoddy camel.
"Yeah!"
"He's useless!"
The other students all agreed one after another as if they wished to beat him up.
After hearing this Xie Ting understood that these people didn't know who Jiang Xiu was, otherwise, they wouldn't dare to complain like this. She didn't reply to her anymore and focused on the bet. "Who do you think will win?"
"Li Lei!" Jiang Xiu replied.
The professor and the students held different opinions. Accusing someone wrongly was good and all but the reality was often cruel.
"Why?"
Jiang Xiu smiled coolly while gazing at Li Lei who stood at a distance, "Li Lei can use Inner Breath. He can supplement his physical power along with the spiritual power. So, it's evident that he'll win."
Xie Ting didn't necessarily understand what he said. By physical power, he meant the direct physical force, and spiritual power consisted of Qi, psychokinesis, curse power and magic power.
Those powers were all things which couldn't be touched, but they existed in reality. Some of them were unbelievably powerful. An expert in magic power could overturn seas and river and life the sea surface up by around 100 feet and make it float there for a long time. It wasn't possible to achieve such a feat through physical power.
Ding!
Li Fei's dagger left behind a white awn and disappeared. The blade bore deep into the rock, so much that only the handle hadn't entered inside.
Everyone was astonished.
Even the bandits were all amazed.
Sang Bao's dagger blade had only made it three parts inside while Li Lei's dagger blade went inside wholly. The result was clear.
"Superb!"
"I knew that those from the Spirit Tomb Sect were fierce but never knew their martial arts were so high. You can protect the life of one person who can go over towards the safe zone." Meng Fei commented.
Li Lei immediately replied, "My father!"
"Alright."
"Master Li, please move over towards the safe zone."
Li Chengzhi nodded then moved over towards the safe zone.
Bang!
A gunshot suddenly resounded in the area. The bullet had pierced through Li Lei's head, making him fall down and form a pool of blood.
"LI LEI!!!"
Li Chengzhi screamed, "Y-You really can't be trusted."
Meng Fei said, "We are trustworthy. Didn't we let a person off? Master Li, your son is really filial. He used his life to exchange your life. I really feel happy for you."
"You…"
A hissing sound came through from outside. The sandstorm had arrived. Even if they were within the rocks, they could feel the gale attack them as sand covered the entire sky.
It seemed as if the entire sky was covered up by the storm.
At this time, the two soldiers finally acted. They charged into the bandits and snatched their firearms immediately. Only the sound of the wind was audible while gunfire flashed here and there. Not even the gunshots could be heard.
