The large fellow had a thick beard and a really highly effective look, however the look in his eyes was chaotic and he was behaving like loopy. Clearly this was a madman. Xiao Feng noticed that the pair of broad axes in his palms gave the impression to be made from pure metal and really heavy. When the person separated them, introduced them collectively, attacked and defended with them, his actions had been moderately disciplined, and the protection at his entrance was glorious and strict, similar to the fashion of a grasp. Xiao Feng was acquainted with very many individuals of wulin within the Central Plains however he didn’t know this huge fellow. He thought: ‘This huge fellow’s talent in utilizing axes could be very excellent. How come I’ve by no means heard of such a person?’

That man brandished his broad axes sooner and sooner, and repeatedly roared loudly: ‘Fast, fast, rapidly go and report back to our Lord that the enemy has come.’

He was standing at a spot the place there have been roads on all sides and was chopping horizontally and hacking vertically together with his 2 shining axes so passersby actually stayed away from him. Who dared come close to him? Xiao Feng noticed that he was having a hysterical expression and saved executing transfer after transfer with the axes. Regularly, he not had sufficient energy, however he desperately continued and solely shouted: ‘Brother Fu, rapidly retreat! Do not care about me. It is necessary to report back to our Lord.’

Xiao Feng thought: ‘This man loyally protects his Lord. He is a courageous man. However dropping power like this, he’ll actually undergo very severe inside accidents.’ He walked as much as that huge fellow directly and mentioned: ‘Previous chap, can I deal with you to a cup of wine?’

The large fellow glowered at Xiao Feng then impulsively he shouted: ‘Prime villain, do not hurt my Lord!’ As he completed, he raised the axes and introduced them down in direction of Xiao Feng’s head. Seeing that Xiao Feng was in an especially harmful state of affairs, all of the bystanders cried ‘A’yo.’

Listening to the phrases ‘prime villain’ Xiao Feng was additionally startled: ‘I and A’Zhu are searching for the prime villain to get revenge. So the enemy of this man can be a major villain. Although he calls him the prime villain, that man might not essentially be the one which I and A’Zhu name the prime villain. Anyway, I am gonna save him first then speak later.’ He instantly moved straight ahead and stretched out his hand to dam an acupuncture level on the a part of the ribs round his waist.

Unexpectedly, regardless that this man had misplaced sanity, his martial arts remained intact, so he turned the axe in his proper hand round and tried to hit Xiao Feng immediately within the decrease stomach with the deal with. This transfer was very efficient and intelligent. Have been Xiao Feng not very many occasions higher than the person in martial arts, he can be hit by him. He instantly stretched out his left hand, grabbed the deal with of the axe and snatched it. Already very weary, how may that huge fellow face up to that? His complete physique shook, and directly he threw himself on Xiao Feng. Who would have anticipated that he would disregard his personal life and wish to perish collectively together with his adversary?

Xiao Feng moved his proper arm over and gripped that man. He barely exerted his energy and rendered him motionless. All the idle males who had been expecting enjoyable on the road applauded after they noticed Xiao Feng subdue the madman. Half dragging, half carrying, Xiao Feng took that huge fellow in the primary corridor of the inn. He pushed him down on a seat and mentioned: ‘Previous chap, drink first and speak later!’ Then he ordered the bartender to fetch wine.

That huge fellow mounted his eyes on Xiao Feng. Solely after a superb whereas did he ask: ‘You… Are you a superb individual or a villain?’

Xiao Feng was startled, not understanding what to answer.

A’Zhu laughed and mentioned: ‘After all he is a superb individual. I am a superb individual too. And also you’re additionally a superb individual. We’re buddies. We’ll go battle the prime villain collectively.’ The large fellow stared at her for some time then stared at Xiao Feng for some time. It appeared he each believed and didn’t consider them. After a short time, he mentioned: ‘That… That prime villain?’ A’Zhu continued: ‘We’re buddies, let’s battle the prime villain collectively!’

That huge fellow abruptly rose and mentioned loudly: ‘No, no! The prime villain could be very formidable. Fast, rapidly go report back to the Lord and ask him to consider a option to cover. I am gonna maintain again the prime villain and also you’re gonna report.’ As he completed talking, he rose and grabbed the broad axes.

Xiao Feng stretched out his hand and pressed down on the person’s shoulder, saying: ‘Previous chap, the prime villain hasn’t come. Who’s your Lord? The place is he?’

The large fellow shouted loudly: ‘Prime villain, come right here, come right here, come right here, your father’s gonna battle you 300 bouts. Do not you dare hurt our Lord?!’

Xiao Feng and A’Zhu exchanged a glance, each being on the finish of their wits. A’Zhu abruptly mentioned loudly: ‘A’yo, no good. Let’s rapidly go report back to our Lord. The place is the Lord? The place has he gone to? We mustn’t let the prime villain discover him.’

The large fellow mentioned: ‘Sure, sure, you go report. He is gone to the Sq. Bamboo Forest by the Little Mirror Lake. You… You rapidly go the Sq. Bamboo Forest by the Little Mirror Lake to report back to the Lord. Go, go!’ As he completed, he urged constantly, wanting very anxious.

Whereas Xiao Feng and A’Zhu had been nonetheless unsure about their plan, abruptly the bartender mentioned: ‘Go to the Little Mirror Lake? It is not gonna be a brief journey.’ Listening to that there was actually a spot with the identify ‘Little Mirror Lake’, Xiao Feng hurriedly requested: ‘The place is it? How far is it from right here?’ That bartender replied: ‘In case you ask different folks, they might not essentially know. Fortunately for you, you have requested me, the very proper individual. I am a person from the world across the Little Mirror Lake. That is actually as coincidental as you may get. You are completely fortunate!’

Listening to him babbling on about irrelevant topics, Xiao Feng stretched out his hand, gave the desk successful and mentioned loudly: ‘Shortly say, rapidly say!’ The bartender at first needed to mooch a tip earlier than saying, however after being thus frightened by Xiao Feng, he not dared hold different folks guessing, saying: ‘This grasp is so impatient, ha-ha, if it weren’t for you assembly me by probability, even in the event you had been extra impatient, it’d nonetheless be ineffective, proper?’ He needed to make some complaints, however seeing that Xiao Feng was not having a pleasant expression, he mentioned: ‘The Little Mirror Lake is to the northwest of right here. First you go straight west. After going 7 and a half li (0.5 km), you may see round 10 huge willow timber. 4 timber every row. There’re 4 rows in complete. One occasions 4 equals 4. Two occasions 4 equals 8. 3 times 4 equals 12. 4 occasions 4 equals 16. There’re 16 willow timber altogether. Then you definitely rapidly go north. After going 9 and a half li, you may see an enormous bluestone bridge. You should not cross the bridge. It’s going to be a mistake in the event you cross it. I say you’ll be able to’t cross the bridge however you may must cross a bridge. However you’ll be able to’t cross that huge bluestone bridge on the left-hand facet. You could cross the small picket bridge on the right-hand facet. After crossing the small bridge, you go west for some time then go north for some time then go northwest for some time. In brief, it will not go mistaken in the event you observe that footpath. Going like this for 21 and a half li, you may see an enormous lake that appears like a mirror. It is the Little Mirror Lake. To get there from right here, everybody says that it is 40 li, however in reality it is solely 38 and a half li. It is lower than 40 li.’

Xiao Feng was in a position to repress his mood to listen to the bartender say until the tip. A’Zhu mentioned: ‘This huge brother mentioned so clearly and plainly. One li is one coin. At first I needed to offer you 40 cash, nevertheless it’d be slightly bit mistaken. How about not providing you with? However I have to provide you with. One occasions 8 equals 8. Two occasions 8 equals 16. 3 times 8 equals 24. 4 occasions 8 equals 32. 5 occasions 8 equals 40. 40 li of street minus 1.5 li needs to be 38.5 li,’ then she counted out 39 cash and floor the final coin on the blade of an axe, creating an imprint. Subsequent she pressed it with 2 of her fingers. With a snap, the coin was damaged in half. Then she gave the bartender 38.5 cash.

Xiao Feng couldn’t assist laughing, considering: ‘This younger lady is all the time as much as mischief every time she’s bought an opportunity.’

The large fellow was nonetheless obtrusive at them and repeatedly urged: ‘Go report, fast. There is not any time for delay. The prime villain could be very formidable.’ Xiao Feng requested: ‘Who’s your Lord?’ The large fellow mumbled: ‘My Lord… my Lord… he…. I mustn’t inform different folks the place he’s. You’d higher not go.’ Xiao Feng mentioned loudly: ‘What’s your surname?’ The large fellow replied thoughtlessly: ‘My surname is Gu. A’yo, My surname is not Gu.’

Xiao Feng turned suspicious: ‘Might or not it’s that this man is enjoying some trick and intentionally lures me into going to the Little Mirror Lake? Why is he each surnamed Gu and never surnamed Gu?’ He had one other thought: ‘If the enemy sends him to trick me into going, I am going to most welcome it. I am about to go discover him. Even when the Little Mirror Lake is as harmful as a dragon’s pool or a tiger’s den, what’s there for me to concern?’ He turned to A’Zhu and mentioned: ‘Let’s go to the Little Mirror Lake to take a look and see if one thing occurs. If this brother’s Lord is there, I believe we’ll discover him.’

That bartender lower in: ‘There’s solely a wilderness across the Little Mirror Lake, nothing to see. In case you two wish to go sightseeing and widen your information, I assure that the pavilions, terraces and towers within the gardens of the wealthy households right here will significantly broaden your horizons…’ Xiao Feng waved his hand and advised him to cease blabbering on. Then he turned to the large fellow and mentioned: ‘Previous chap, you are very drained, simply relaxation right here slightly. I am gonna report back to your honored Lord in your behalf that the prime villain will come very quickly.’

That huge fellow mentioned: ‘Thanks loads, thanks loads! I, Gu, sincerely admire it. I am going to cease the prime villain. I mustn’t let him move.’ As he completed, he stood up and stretched out his palms to carry the broad axes, however his energy had been used up and his 2 arms had been numb and aching, so after taking quick maintain of the handles, he was unable to carry the axes up.

‘Have a relaxation, previous chap,’ mentioned Xiao Feng. After paying for the wine and the hire, he and A’Zhu went out of the door. Following the phrases of the bartender, they went westward alongside the primary street. After going 7 or 8 li, as anticipated, they noticed 4 rows of timber on the roadside. There have been 16 huge willow timber in complete. A’Zhu laughed and mentioned: ‘That bartender is talkative, however there’re good issues in his garrulousness. Like this, we undoubtedly will not go mistaken, proper? Oh, who’s there?’

She prolonged her finger and pointed to a willow tree. A peasant was sitting below the tree by leaning towards it. His toes had been being immersed within the muddy water within the ditch beside the tree. This needs to be only a frequent scene within the countryside, however one facet of the peasant’s face was being coated with blood, and on his shoulder was resting a glittering employees which was made from refined copper and didn’t appear to be mild.

Xiao Feng walked as much as that peasant and seen that he was respiration closely. Clearly he had suffered severe inside accidents. Xiao Feng got here straight to the purpose, asking: ‘Large brother, a broad-axe wielding pal entrusted us with the mission of going to the Little Mirror Lake and delivering a message. Might I ask if the Little Mirror Lake is on this facet?’ That peasant raised his head, asking: ‘Is the broad-axe wielding pal useless or alive?’ Xiao Feng replied: ‘He solely exhausted his energy. There is not any huge drawback.’ The peasant set free a sigh of reduction and mentioned: ‘Thank Heavens and Earth. You two please go north. I am going to undoubtedly always remember this kindness of delivering the message.’ Judging from the best way the peasant talked, Xiao Feng knew that he was no frequent peasant within the countryside, so he requested: ‘Might I ask you revered surname? What’s the broad-axe wielding pal to you?’ That peasant replied: ‘My surname is Fu. Sir, please go rapidly to the Little Mirror Lake. That prime villain already rushed previous right here. It is a disgrace that I could not maintain him again.’

Xiao Feng thought: ‘This man’s severe harm actually is not false. If that is the enemy’s plan to trick me, he should’ve spent an enormous amount of cash.’ Seeing the trustworthy look of the person, Xiao Feng took a liking to him. He mentioned: ‘Large brother Fu, your harm is severe. What weapon did the prime villain use to hurt you?’ That man replied: ‘It is an iron employees.’

Seeing recent blood oozing unceasingly from his chest, Xiao Feng unfastened his garments to have a look. He noticed a gap within the man’s chest. Although the outlet was not larger than a fingertip, it was very deep. Xiao Feng prolonged his finger and blocked a number of necessary acupuncture factors across the wound to assist the peasant cease bleeding and scale back his ache. A’Zhu torn the entrance of his gown and bandage his wound.

That man with the surname Fu mentioned: ‘I can not repay you two for this nice debt of gratitude with phrases. I solely hope you’ll go to the Little Mirror Lake as rapidly as attainable and report back to my humble Lord.’ Xiao Feng requested: ‘What is the identify of your honored Lord? How does he seem like?’

That man mentioned: ‘Sir, whenever you attain the facet of the Little Mirror Lake, you may see a bamboo forest to the west of it. All of the bamboo timber are sq.. There’re a number of bamboo homes within the forest. Please name out some phrases from the skin of the homes: ‘The #1 villain below Heaven has come. Cover rapidly!’ That’ll be okay. It would be greatest in the event you do not enter the homes. As for the identify of my humble Lord, sometime sooner or later I, Fu, will definitely inform you.’

Xiao Feng thought: ‘Who’s the #1 villain below Heaven? Might or not it’s that he is Duan Yanqing of the ‘4 Arch-Villains’? Judging from the phrases of this man, clearly he is unwilling to say so there is no must ask him extra.’ Nevertheless, this time he was not on the alert. He thought: ‘If the enemies wish to trick me into advancing, after all each sentence would sound affordable. They undoubtedly would not make me suspect. This man hesitates in speech and is unwilling to say the reality so he does not have any ailing will.’ He then mentioned: ‘Alright. I am gonna observe your directions.’ That huge fellow struggled to crawl up then knelt down to specific his gratitude.

Xiao Feng mentioned: ‘You and I really feel like previous buddies on the 1st assembly. Brother Fu does not have to be excessively courteous.’ He raised the person up together with his proper hand. Then he gave his personal face a wipe together with his left hand, eradicating the make-up, and met him together with his true face, saying: ‘I am Xiao Feng, a Khitan. We’ll meet once more some day.’ With out ready for the person to say something, he held A’Zhu’s hand and went with fast steps.

A’Zhu requested: ‘So we need not disguise and make up anymore?’ Xiao Feng replied: ‘I do not know why, however I like this easy huge fellow very a lot. I needed to make pal with him, so I could not meet him with a false face.’

A’Zhu mentioned: ‘Alright, I am gonna revert to carrying feminine garments as effectively.’ She went to the facet of a brook and hurriedly washed the make-up off her face. Then she took off her hat, revealing her black hair, and eliminated her saggy gown, displaying the unique feminine garments inside.

The two of them went 9.5 li with out taking a break. They noticed a lofty bluestone bridge within the distance. After they got here close to the bridge, they solely noticed a scholar bending down on the floor of it. This man had unfold a big sheet of white paper on the bridge, and utilizing the bluestone of the bridge as inkstone he had ready an enormous puddle of ink. The scholar was holding the comb in his hand and was writing on the paper. Xiao Feng and A’Zhu discovered it unusual. Who may have anticipated that somebody would take paper, ink, brush and inkstone to a bridge within the wilderness to write down?

Solely after they bought close to him did they see that he actually was not writing, however drawing. What he was drawing was the surroundings round. The small bridge, the operating water, the previous timber and the distant mountains all may very well be discovered within the image. He was bending down on the bridge and was not going through Xiao Feng and A’Zhu, however what unusual was that the surroundings within the image was clearly directed in direction of the two of them. They noticed that each stroke of his was executed within the reverse option to regular and he was drawing contrariwise.

Xiao Feng didn’t perceive portray and calligraphy in any respect however A’Zhu had lived in Mister Murong’s dwelling for a very long time and had seen a fantastic many glorious works of portray and calligraphy. She noticed that regardless that the ‘inverse drawing method’ of that scholar couldn’t be thought of very good, it was actually arduous to attract in reverse like this. When she was about to go forwards to ask him a number of sentences, Xiao Feng evenly pulled a nook of her robe, shook his head and stroll in direction of the small bridge on the left-hand facet.

That scholar requested: ‘Why did not you two pay any consideration when seeing me drawing in reverse? Might or not it’s that this trifling talent of mine has defiled the eyes of you two?’ A’Zhu replied: ‘Confucius didn’t sit down on an askew mat and didn’t eat irregular meat. An upright gentleman does not see ‘inverse drawing’.’ ‘Ha-ha!’ That man loudly laughed and withdrew the sheet of white paper, saying: ‘Proper on, please cross the bridge.’

Xiao Feng had already guessed what the scholar’s intentions had been. He had unfold the sheet of white paper on the bridge to catch different folks’s eyes. Firstly, he needed to delay them. And secondly, he needed to make what was false seem like the true one, intentionally tricking different folks into crossing the bluestone bridge. So Xiao Feng mentioned: ‘We wish to go to the Little Mirror Lake. If we stepped on the bluestone bridge, we might go the mistaken approach.’ That scholar mentioned: ‘In case you observe the bluestone bridge, it’s going to merely be going round in a circle. After going an additional 50 or 60 li, you may nonetheless arrive. The two of you had higher go up the bluestone bridge.’ Xiao Feng mentioned: ‘When all the pieces is all proper, why go an additional 50 or 60 li?’ That scholar laughed and mentioned: ‘Extra haste and fewer velocity. Might or not it’s that you do not perceive the rationale behind this sentence?’

A’Zhu additionally realized that this scholar was deliberately delaying them. She stopped bothering herself with him and instantly stepped on the picket bridge. Xiao Feng adopted her. When the two of them bought to the center of the bridge, abruptly they felt that the board of the bridge below their toes was moderately weak, with ka-la-la sounds it snapped, and their our bodies fell downwards the river. Xiao Feng stretched out his left hand and gripped A’Zhu’s physique by the waist. His proper foot barely pressed on the board. Thus making use of it, he leaped ahead and arrived on the different shore. After that, he despatched a palm assault backwards in case the enemy sneakily attacked from behind.

‘Ha-ha,’ the scholar laughed loudly and mentioned: ‘Good talent, good talent! Why are you two rapidly going to the Little Mirror Lake?’

Noticing that there was panic in his laughter, Xiao Feng thought: ‘This man appears good-looking and refined, but he is on the prime villain’s facet.’ He paid no consideration to him and went forwards with A’Zhu immediately.

After going a number of zhang (1 zhang = 3.333 m), he heard footsteps at his again and turned his head round to have a look. It was none aside from the scholar who was catching up from behind. Xiao Feng circled and requested with a darkened face: ‘Sir, what do you wish to instruct me?’ That scholar replied: ‘I additionally wish to go to the Little Mirror Lake. It simply so occurs that I and also you two have the identical journey.’ Xiao Feng mentioned: ‘This cannot be higher,’ then put his left hand on A’Zhu’s waist. Elevating his inside power, he took her alongside and went as if floating. His actions had been actually clean and noiseless and didn’t fire up even mild mud. The scholar rapidly rushed after Xiao Feng however the distance between them turned farther and farther. Seeing that his martial arts had been mediocre, Xiao Feng didn’t care about him anymore. He continued elevating his inside power and going as if floating. Although he was taking A’Zhu alongside, he was nonetheless a lot sooner than the scholar. Throughout the time to complete a meal, Xiao Feng already left the scholar far behind himself and didn’t see any hint of him anymore.

After crossing the small picket bridge, the trail turned very slender. Typically the grass was as excessive because the waist and it was very arduous to acknowledge the trail. If the bartender had not mentioned clearly, Xiao Feng would actually have had a tough time discovering this path. After going for lower than 1 hour, he noticed a transparent lake. Xiao Feng slowed down and went as much as the lake. He noticed that its water was blue like jade and its floor was calm like a mirror. It was actually worthy of the three phrases the ‘Little Mirror Lake.’

When Xiao Feng was about to search for the Sq. Bamboo Forest, abruptly he heard 2 sounds of chuckling in a thicket of flowers on the left of the lake, then a stone flew out. Trying within the flying course of the stone, Xiao Feng noticed a fisherman who was carrying a big bamboo hat and was fishing beside the lake. His fishing rod had simply lifted up a black carp when that stone arrived. With out in the slightest degree of inaccuracy, the stone hit the fishing line squarely. A ‘chi’ sound was heard, the fishing line was damaged in two and the black carp fell again into the lake.

Xiao Feng was secretly startled: ‘The ability of this individual’s hand could be very unusual. The fishing line is comfortable and is not affected by blunt drive. There’s nothing uncommon if missiles similar to flying knife and sleeve-hidden arrow are used to chop it off. However clearly it was a spherical stone. Who may have anticipated that the fishing line can be damaged? This individual’s Yin comfortable talent in utilizing missiles undoubtedly does not belong to the Central Plains.’ The one that had thrown the stone didn’t appear to own high-level martial arts, however they’d an air of intense evil. It was merely an unorthodox method. Xiao Feng thought: ‘That is in all probability a subordinate of that prime villain. Judging from the laughter, this individual appears to be a younger lady.’

That fisherman was additionally startled when his fishing line was damaged. He mentioned loudly and clearly: ‘Who performed a trick on surnamed Chu me? Please present your self.’

With a number of se-se sounds, the thicket of flowers was cut up aside and a younger lady got here out. She was wearing all-purple garments and was solely 15 or 16 years previous. In comparison with A’Zhu, she was nonetheless youthful by just a few years. She had a pair of massive shiny black eyes and her face was stuffed with mischievousness. As quickly as she noticed A’Zhu, she ignored the fisherman, skipped as much as her, pulled her hand, laughed and mentioned: ‘This zizi (older sister) will likely be very fairly when grown-up. I such as you very a lot!’ She sounded considerably tongue-tied when saying, and her pronunciation was not appropriate, similar to a foreigner who had simply began to study the language of the Central Plains.

Seeing that the younger lady was full of life and harmless, A’Zhu laughed and mentioned: ‘It is simply you who’ll be fairly when grown-up. I such as you much more.’ A’Zhu had lived in Gusu for a very long time, and now she was saying in Mandarin of the Center Land (Henan). Subsequently, regardless that she sounded light and beautiful, her pronunciation was additionally not very correct.

The fisherman at first was about to get mad. However seeing that the younger lady was so full of life and beautiful, the anger that was filling his bosom disappeared. He mentioned: ‘This lady is so naughty. However the method that you just used to interrupt the fishing line is superb.’

That younger lady mentioned: ‘What’s so fascinating about angling? It is boring to dying. In case you wanna eat fish, would not utilizing this fishing rod to jab on the fish be higher?’ As she completed, she acquired the fishing rod within the hand of the fisherman and conveniently gave the water a poke. The tip of the fishing rod pierced by the stomach of a fish. When the fishing rod was lifted up, the fish was nonetheless writhing and twisting. From the wound, recent blood fell into the inexperienced water drop after drop. The pink and the inexperienced served as foils to one another, wanting brilliant and exquisite, however there was additionally cruelty in the fantastic thing about the colours.

Xiao Feng noticed that when she executed this handy poke, first her proper hand barely bent to the left, then drew a small arc and thrust out from the appropriate facet. This transfer was moderately intelligent and undoubtedly pleasing to the attention. Nevertheless, if she used it to assault and defend when going through an enemy, she can be slightly late. Xiao Feng was actually unable to guess what faculty or household possessed this martial arts method.

That younger lady constantly lifted the rod up and thrust it down. She pierced by 6 black carps and white fish in a row, creating a sequence of fish on the rod. Then she gave it a shake, flinging all of the fish into the lake. With a displeased expression on his face, the fisherman mentioned: ‘You are a really younger lady, but you act so cruelly. If you wish to catch fish, then that is wonderful. However you stabbed useless the fish not for meals. Why did you kill them for no purpose?’

The younger lady clapped her palms, laughed and mentioned: ‘I like killing for no purpose. What do you wanna do?’ Then she exerted herself to interrupt the fishing rod in two with each palms. Unexpectedly, this fishing rod was very powerful and agency, and the younger lady was unable to bend it. That fisherman sneered: ‘You wish to snap my fishing rod? It is not really easy.’ That younger lady pointed to the again of the fisherman, saying: ‘Who’s coming?’

The fisherman turned his head round to take a look, however he noticed nobody. Realizing that he had been fooled, he unexpectedly turned his head again, however he was already slightly late. He solely noticed his fishing rod fly off greater than 10 zhang (3.333 m) then, with a ‘chi’ sound, move into the middle of the lake and disappear with out a hint directly. Livid, the fisherman shouted loudly: ‘The place are you from, brat?’ and stretched out his hand and to seize her shoulder.

The younger lady laughed and mentioned: ‘Assist me! Assist me!’ and hid in the back of Xiao Feng. The fisherman jinked sideways to come back and catch her. His actions had been mild and neat. In a look, Xiao Feng noticed that there was an object within the hand of the younger lady’s. It gave the impression to be a clear material and was vague. Xiao Feng didn’t know what it was. The fisherman rushed at her, however one way or the other he abruptly slipped and threw himself on the bottom. After that, his physique turned a heap. Solely now was Xiao Feng in a position to see clearly that what the younger lady was having in her hand was a sheet of exceedingly skinny silk fishing internet. The silk threads had been as skinny as hair, they usually had been additionally clear, but they had been exceptionally powerful and pliable. Furthermore, after they got here into contact with one thing, they instantly contracted. Within the fishing internet, the extra the fisherman struggled, the tighter it turned. In a short time, he develop into a cylindrical glutinous rice cake and was wrapped round by the online to the purpose of being immovable.

The fisherman cursed loudly and severely: ‘Brat, what soiled trick are you enjoying? What are you plotting through the use of evil strategies to seize me like this?’

Inwardly, Xiao Feng was astonished. He knew that the lady actually was not utilizing any evil method, however this fishing internet was moderately evil certainly.

The fisherman saved cursing loudly. That younger lady laughed and mentioned: ‘In case you curse one other sentence, I am going to hit you within the buttocks.’ The fisherman was startled and stopped speaking directly. His face has swollen to a deep pink.

At the moment, within the west of the lake, somebody mentioned from a distance: ‘Brother Chu, what occurred?’ Then an individual went out alongside the lakeside path with fast steps. Xiao Feng noticed that this man had an oblong face and was between 40 and 50 years previous. He was mighty in look, however was carrying moderately rakish and casual apparel consisting of a light-weight gown and a free belt.

This man got here close to. Seeing the fisherman being sure, he was very stunned, so he requested: ‘What occurred?’ The fisherman replied: ‘This little lady used evil strategies…’ The center-aged man turned his head and checked out A’Zhu. That younger lady laughed and mentioned: ‘Not her. It is me!’ The center-aged man uttered an exclamation of doubt then stooped down, lifted the massive physique of the fisherman up and stretched out his hand to drag on the fishing internet. Who would have identified that the threads of the online had a really unusual nature? The extra drive he used to drag, the tighter the fishing internet turned. And so, it doesn’t matter what the middle-aged man did, he was unable to untie it.

That younger lady laughed and mentioned: ‘In case you say to me ‘Miss, I’ve misplaced to you!’ 3 occasions in a row, I am going to set him free.’ The center-aged man mentioned: ‘You may have offended my brother Chu. This may not have any good consequence.’ The younger lady mentioned laughingly: ‘Actually? I simply don’t need any good consequence. The more severe the result’s, the extra fascinating will probably be.’

The center-aged man held out his left hand to seize her shoulder. The younger lady abruptly barely fell again and jinked in direction of one facet to dodge. Unexpectedly, regardless that her actions had been quick, that man was even sooner. He barely lowered his hand and caught her shoulder.

The younger lady tilted her shoulder to eliminate his energy, however the left palm of this middle-aged man appeared to have been firmly mounted to her shoulder. The younger lady scolded in a sulky voice: ‘Let go of me!’ She waved her fist to hit him, however earlier than the fist had gone 1 chi (33.33 cm), her arm turned powerless and drooped down weakly. Very astonished, the lady cried: ‘What evil method are you utilizing? Shortly let go of me.’ The center-aged man smiled, saying: ‘In case you say ‘Grasp, I’ve misplaced to you’ 3 occasions in a row then untie the fishing internet round my brother’s physique, I am going to allow you to go.’ The younger lady mentioned angrily: ‘You have offended me. This may not have any good consequence.’ The center-aged man smiled, saying: ‘The more severe the consequence it, the extra fascinating will probably be.’

The younger lady once more exerted all her energy to wrestle, however she was unable to get free, and opposite to her expectations, her complete physique ached and have become weak. Even her toes didn’t have any energy. She laughed and mentioned: ‘How shameless. You’ll be able to solely copy different folks’s phrases. Alright, I am gonna say to you. ‘Grasp, I’ve misplaced to you! Grasp, I’ve misplaced to you! Grasp, I’ve misplaced to you!” She didn’t pronounce the syllable ‘m?s’ of the phrase ‘grasp’ clearly and pronounced it as ‘b?s’ as a substitute, due to this fact it appeared like she mentioned ‘Bastard, I’ve misplaced to you (The two phrases within the authentic are 先生 – xian1sheng5 – grasp, and 畜生 – chu4sheng5 – beast).’ The center-aged man didn’t discover it. He raised his palm and let go of her shoulder, saying: ‘Untie the fishing internet, fast.’

The younger lady laughed and mentioned: ‘This cannot be simpler.’ Then she went to the facet of the fisherman and bent right down to untie the fishing internet round him. She barely raised her left hand on the opening of the sleeve and a darkish inexperienced flash was fired on the middle-aged man.

‘Ah,’ A’Zhu cried in concern as a result of she noticed that the missile firing strategy of the younger lady was very vicious. Furthermore, the lady and the middle-aged man had been only a small distance aside so it appeared that it was inconceivable for the missiles to overlook him. However Xiao Feng solely smiled barely. Seeing that this middle-aged man tamed the younger lady as quickly as he confirmed his talent, Xiao Feng knew clearly that his inside power was profound and his martial arts had been glorious, due to this fact these petty missiles naturally wouldn’t be capable to hurt him. Positive sufficient, the middle-aged man swung the sleeve of his gown and despatched out a stream of inside power which pushed all of the cluster of inexperienced skinny needles apart. The needles then caught within the mud beside the lake, one after one other.

Seeing the colour of the skinny needles, the middle-aged man knew directly that they’d been suffused with an especially fierce poison. As quickly as this poison bought into the blood of a sufferer, their throat can be blocked and they’d die immediately. This was the first time he and she or he had met one another, and there was no enmity between them, why did she use such a vicious transfer? The person bought offended and needed to show this child a lesson. He waved his proper sleeve. The drive of the sleeve contained his palm drive. With a ‘hu’ sound, the physique of that younger lady was lifted up, and with a ‘pu’ sound, she fell into the lake. Following that, the person barely pressed the guidelines of his toes on the bottom and jumped onto a rowboat below a willow tree. Holding the oars and pushing it a number of occasions, he reached the place the place that younger lady had simply fallen down. Now, he solely waited for her to emerge to seize her hair and carry her up.

However when that younger lady fell into the water, she solely uttered an ‘A’yo!’ sound. After she had fallen into the lake, no hint of her may very well be seen at this level. Naturally, when an individual is drowning, they are going to undoubtedly emerge and submerge just a few occasions, and solely after ingesting water to the complete will they not resurface. Nevertheless, that younger lady was like an enormous piece of stone, and thus she sank with out rising. The center-aged man waited for a short time, however all alongside the lady didn’t rise to the floor.

The extra the person waited, the extra fearful he turned. In actual fact he had no intention of harming her. It was simply that seeing that she was very younger but her actions had been so malicious, he needed to self-discipline her as soon as. If she was drowned, he would really feel deeply sorry for her. That fisherman had glorious abilities in swimming, so he ought to have been in a position to get into the water and save her. Sadly, he was being wrapped round by the fishing internet and thus being unable to maneuver. Each Xiao Feng and A’Zhu didn’t know tips on how to swim so they didn’t know what to do both. They heard the middle-aged man name loudly: ‘A’Xing, A’Xing! Come out, fast!’

From a distant bamboo thicket, the calls of a lady had been heard: ‘What occurred? I will not come out!’

Xiao Feng thought: ‘This lady’s voice sounds flirtatious. But it surely has 3/10s of stubbornness. I am afraid she’s the naughty sort. She, A’Zhu and the younger lady that fell into the lake can be just like the legs of a tripod cauldron.’

That middle-aged man known as: ‘There is a drowning individual. Shortly come to the rescue.’ That lady known as: ‘Have been you drowned?’ The center-aged man known as: ‘Do not joke. If I had been drowned, how can I be speaking to you? Shortly come to the rescue!’ That lady known as: ‘In case you had been drowned, I might come to save lots of you immediately. But when another person is drowned, I might like to see and have a jolly time!’ The center-aged man requested: ‘Will you come or not?’ and repeatedly stamped his toes on the prow of the boat, wanting exceedingly anxious. That lady mentioned: ‘If that is a person, I am going to save him directly. But when that is a lady, even when 100 girls died, I might solely clap my palms and cheer. I undoubtedly will not save her.’ The voice sounded nearer and nearer. In a short time, she already bought to the facet of the lake.

Xiao Feng and A’Zhu checked out her and noticed that she was carrying a greenish swimsuit which clung to her physique, making her delicate waist develop into extra apparent. She had a pair of massive shiny black eyes which had been good and glowing like stars. The look in her eyes was very full of life and nimble. It appeared as if with a pair of eyes alone she was already able to speech. The girl was lovely, and the corners of her mouth resembled a smile with out smiling. She was round 35 or 36 years previous. When Xiao Feng had heard her voice and tone earlier than, he had solely thought that she had been 21 or 22 years previous at most. He may by no means have anticipated that she can be a lady who was not very younger in any respect. The swimsuit on her physique was worn neatly. Maybe when listening to that middle-aged man name her to the rescue, she had directly modified garments. And whereas she had been teasing him, making him fearful, she had modified garments very quick.

Seeing that she had come, the middle-aged man was completely comfortable, saying: ‘A’Xing, fast, fast, I by accident threw her into the lake. I may by no means have anticipated that she would not resurface.’ That stunning lady mentioned: ‘I am gonna ask clearly first. If that is a person, I am going to save him instantly. But when that is a lady, then you definitely’d higher not say something.’

Each Xiao Feng and A’Zhu discovered this very unusual, considering: ‘There’re girls who’re unwilling to get into the water to save lots of males to keep away from embracing or getting entangled with them underwater, thus dropping their very own dignity. Why is that this lady the precise reverse, solely saving males and never girls?’

The center-aged man stamped his toes, saying: ‘Oh expensive! She’s only a 14 or 15 yr previous little lady. Do not be suspicious.’ The attractive lady mentioned: ‘Humph, slightly lady, so what? To a person such as you, a 14 or 15 yr previous little lady and a 70 or 80 yr previous aged lady each will likely be…’ She at first needed to say ‘each will likely be accepted’, however in a look, she noticed Xiao Feng and A’Zhu, so she barely blushed and stretched out her hand and coated her personal mouth, and the phrase ‘accepted’ was withdrawn directly, however her eyes had been stuffed with amusement.

The center-aged man took a deep bow on the prow of the boat, saying: ‘A’Xing, please save her rapidly. I am going to observe all the pieces that you just say.’ That stunning lady requested: ‘You may actually observe me in all the pieces?’ The center-aged man unexpectedly replied: ‘Sure. Oh, this little lady hasn’t resurfaced. Might or not it’s that she has actually died…?’ The attractive lady mentioned: ‘If I ask you to remain right here perpetually, will you additionally observe me?’ A clumsy expression appeared on the face of the middle-aged man. He mentioned: ‘This… this…’ The attractive lady mentioned: ‘Even in the event you mentioned with out retaining your phrases and solely candy talked to make me comfortable for a short time, it would be adequate for me. But you are unwilling to do even such a factor.’ When she mentioned to right here, her eyes reddened and her voice was considerably choked with emotion.

Xiao Feng and A’Zhu checked out one another. Each of them discovered this unusual. This man and this lady had been not younger, however their phrases and actions had been the identical as these of passionate younger lovers. Additionally, they didn’t seem like a husband and a spouse, particularly that lady, for in entrance of strangers she was nonetheless displaying no restraint in dialog, and whereas the lifetime of a stranger was hanging by a thread, she was nonetheless speaking about these issues of no urgency.

The center-aged man set free a sigh and rowed the rowboat again, saying: ‘Overlook it, neglect it. There is not any want to save lots of her. This little lady used toxic missiles to sneakily assault me. She deserves to die. Let’s return!’

That lady tilted her head, saying: ‘Why no want to save lots of her? I am going to nonetheless save her. She shot missiles at you, proper? That is superb. Why did not she shoot you useless? What a pity, what a pity!’ She giggled then abruptly jumped up and plunged into the lake. Her abilities in swimming had been actually excellent. With a comfortable ‘chi’ sound, and with out inflicting water to fly up into the air, she bought to the underside of the lake. After that, a ‘ka-la’ sound was heard when the floor of the lake disintegrated. The attractive lady was already holding that purple-gowned younger lady in her palms and her head emerged from the water. The center-aged man exulted. He unexpectedly rowed the rowboat again to choose them up.

After the middle-aged man had come close to the gorgeous lady, he stretched out his palms to obtain the purple-gowned younger lady. Seeing that her eyes had been closing tightly and that she didn’t appear to be respiration, he couldn’t assist having a involved expression. The attractive lady shouted: ‘Do not contact her. You are a lady-killer, very unreliable.’ The center-aged man feigned anger, saying: ‘Nonsense. In my life, I’ve by no means been a lady-killer.’

The attractive lady uttered a sound of sneering, then holding the younger lady in her palms, she jumped within the boat. She laughed and mentioned: ‘Proper, proper. You have by no means been a lady-killer, and also you’re solely keen on very ugly girls like Wuyan, Mo Mu (2 very ugly girls in accordance with legend). A’yo…’ She touched that younger lady’s chest, and to her shock, she instantly seen that the lady’s coronary heart had already stopped beating. Evidently, her respiration had ceased for a very long time. However her stomach was not bulging so clearly she had not drunk a lot water.

Conversant in swimming, the gorgeous lady at first had thought that being below water for such a short time wouldn’t kill the lady. By no means may she have anticipated that this younger lady was bodily delicate and would die. She couldn’t assist wanting moderately apologetic. She carried the younger lady in her arms and disembarked, saying: ‘Fast, fast! We should discover a option to save her!’ Then, carrying the younger lady, she ran in a short time in direction of the bamboo forest.

The center-aged man bent down, lifted the fisherman up then turned to Xiao Feng and mentioned: ‘Brother, might I ask your exalted identify, and the noble function of your arrival at this place?’

Seeing that he had a pure and swish bearing and that regardless of the younger lady’s tragic dying, he was nonetheless so imperturbable, Xiao Feng secretly admired him. He replied: ‘I’m Xiao Feng, a Khitan. I used to be entrusted by 2 buddies with the duty of going to right here to move on a message.’

After all there was nobody in Jianghu who didn’t know the identify Qiao Feng, however he already knew his actual surname so at this second he known as himself Xiao Feng, and including the two phrases ‘a Khitan’, he had said his personal origin straight out. The center-aged man was undoubtedly very unfamiliar with the identify Xiao Feng. Listening to the phrases ‘a Khitan’, he was not stunned within the least both. He requested: ‘Who’re the two buddies that requested brother Xiao to do that? And what’s the message that you’re delivering?’ Xiao Feng replied: ‘One wields a pair of broad axes. The opposite wields a copper employees and calls himself surnamed Fu. Each of them are injured…’

Frightened, the middle-aged man requested: ‘How are the accidents of those two? The place are they now? Brother Xiao, these 2 individuals are my shut brothers. Sorry to bother you, however may you give me instructions? I… I… should go save them directly.’ The fisherman mentioned: ‘Please take me with you.’ Seeing that they valued righteousness, Xiao Feng admired them in his coronary heart, saying: ‘The accidents of those 2 individuals are severe however their lives ain’t at risk. They’re being within the city over there…’ That middle-aged man took a deep bow, saying: ‘Thanks very a lot! Thanks very a lot!’ Then, with out saying anymore, he lifted the fisherman up and began to go in direction of the trail alongside which Xiao Feng had come.

Proper at this second, they heard the calls of that lovely lady coming from the within of the bamboo forest: ‘Shortly come right here, rapidly come right here. You come and see… see what that is!’ Her voice sounded exceptionally panic-stricken.

The center-aged man stopped going. Whereas he was hesitating, abruptly he noticed a person rapidly operating in direction of them on the trail and calling: ‘My Lord, did somebody come to make bother?’ He was none aside from the scholar who had drawn in reverse on the bluestone bridge. Xiao Feng thought: ‘I believed he was making an attempt to cease me from passing on the message. But it surely seems he and people broad axe person and copper employees person are on the identical facet. The person who they name ‘the Lord’ is that this middle-aged man, then.’

At this second, the scholar had already seen Xiao Feng and A’Zhu. Seeing the two of them standing beside the middle-aged man, he couldn’t chorus from being startled. When he got here close to them, seeing that the fisherman was being sure, he was each shocked and offended. He requested: ‘What… what occurred?’

They heard the voice of the gorgeous lady contained in the bamboo forest develop into extra panic-stricken: ‘Why have not you come? A’yo, I… I…’

That middle-aged man mentioned: ‘I am going take a look.’ Then he lifted the fisherman up and walked rapidly in direction of the bamboo forest. As quickly as he moved, anybody may see directly that he had a unprecedented inside power. His steps had been mild and lengthy, but they had been exceptionally quick. Xiao Feng put one hand on A’Zhu’s waist then he went alongside him at an acceptable velocity. The center-aged man forged a take a look at Xiao Feng. An admiring expression was seen on his face.

They arrived on the bamboo forest immediately. Positive sufficient, every of the bamboo timber was sq.. After going a number of zhang (3.333 m) into the bamboo forest, they noticed 3 small homes with bamboo roofs. The construction of the homes was very delicate.

Listening to footsteps, the gorgeous lady rushed out, crying: ‘You… you rapidly come and see. What is that this?’ She was holding a gold lock in her hand.

Xiao Feng noticed that this gold lock was a typical piece of bijou for ladies and there was nothing particular or uncommon about it. That day, when A’Zhu was injured, Xiao Feng took vulnerary out from her bosom and noticed a gold lock which regarded nearly the identical as this lock. Unexpectedly, when the middle-aged man regarded on the gold lock a number of occasions, his face modified colours significantly directly. He requested in a quavering voice: ‘The place… the place did you get this?’

The attractive lady replied: ‘I took it from her neck. I as soon as drew a mark on their left shoulders. You… you go and see your self…’ As she completed, she wept with out with the ability to make any sound.

The center-aged man rapidly rushed into the home. A’Zhu additionally barely shook her physique and rushed in. She was even a step forward of the gorgeous lady. Xiao Feng adopted behind that lady to go straight to the interior room. He noticed that it was the bedchamber of a lady with delicate and stylish furnishings. Xiao Feng had no time to scan however he noticed that purple-gowned younger lady mendacity flat on the mattress, stiff and immobile. She was already useless.

The center-aged man pulled the sleeve of the younger lady up and regarded rigorously at her shoulder. After having a look, he instantly pulled the sleeve down. Xiao Feng was standing at his again so he didn’t see what the mark on the shoulder of the younger lady was. He solely noticed that the again of the middle-aged man was constantly trembling. Clearly his thoughts was in a state of utmost discomposure.

The attractive lady grabbed the middle-aged man’s gown and wept, saying: ‘She’s your individual daughter, but you killed her with your individual palms. You did not convey her up but you killed her… You… you are such a heartless father…’

Xiao Feng was very astonished: ‘What? This younger lady is their daughter? Ah, that is proper. Most likely not lengthy after giving beginning to this younger lady, they put her below a fosterage elsewhere. Each this gold lock and the mark on the left shoulder are the marks of identification that her mother and father left her.’ Immediately he noticed tears streaming down A’Zhu’s face and her physique shaking barely and leaning in direction of the mattress.

Xiao Feng was frightened. He hurriedly held out his hand to help her. When he stooped down, he noticed the eyeballs of the younger lady mendacity on the mattress barely transfer. She already closed her eyes however the actions of her eyeballs may nonetheless be seen behind the eyelids. Caring about A’Zhu, Xiao Feng solely requested: ‘What’s mistaken?’ A’Zhu stood up straight, wiped the tears and mentioned with a pressured chuckle: ‘I noticed that this… this lady had an unlucky tragic dying so I really feel sorry for her.’

Xiao Feng stretched out his hand and felt the heartbeat of the younger lady. That stunning lady wept, saying: ‘The guts already stopped. The respiration has already gone too. You’ll be able to’t save her life.’ Xiao Feng barely channeled his inside power, pushed it on the wrist of the younger lady then instantly loosened his grip. He felt an opposing stream of inside power emerge within the physique of that younger lady. Clearly she was channeling her inside power to withstand.

‘Ha-ha,’ Xiao Feng laughed loudly and mentioned: ‘It is actually uncommon to see such a naughty lady on the earth.’ That stunning lady mentioned angrily: ‘Who’re you? Shortly get out of right here! My daughter has died. What nonsense are you speaking right here?’ Xiao Feng laughed and mentioned: ‘What if I can convey your useless daughter again to life?’ Then he stretched out his hand and thrust at an acupuncture level on the waist of the younger lady.

This finger assault hit the ‘Jingmen acupuncture level’ on the waist of the younger lady. This level is on the finish of the final rib of the human physique. Xiao Feng handed his inside power into the acupuncture level, instantly making the lady really feel unbearably tingly and itchy. Unable to endure that, the younger lady jumped up on the mattress, giggled in a beautiful method and reached for Xiao Feng’s shoulder together with her left hand to help herself.

Seeing the lady come again to life from dying, all of the folks within the room had been each stunned and comfortable. The center-aged man laughed and mentioned: ‘So that you scared me…’ The attractive lady smiled although tears and cried: ‘My depressing daughter!’ and expanded her arms to embrace her.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng hit the younger lady with the again of his hand, sending her falling. After that, he held out his hand, grabbed her left wrist, sneered and mentioned: ‘So younger, but so vicious!’

The attractive lady cried: ‘Why did you hit my daughter?’ If she had not had regard for Xiao Feng’s standing as the one who had ‘revived’ her daughter, she would have fought him directly.

After grabbing her wrist, Xiao Feng turned her palm over, saying: ‘Please see.’

Everybody noticed that the younger lady was holding a glistening inexperienced skinny needle in an area between her fingers. At first sight, they already knew that the needle had been suffused with an intense poison. Pretending to achieve for Xiao Feng’s shoulder to help herself, she needed to stay this skinny needle in his physique. Thankfully, he had sharp eyes and was nimble, due to this fact he was not caught in her snare, nevertheless it was actually an especially harmful state of affairs.

This palm assault solely made one cheek of the younger lady’s swell up significantly. Xiao Feng actually didn’t use all his energy. In any other case her cranium would have been shattered into small items simply. Along with her wrist being gripped, it was already too late for her to cover the toxic needle even when she needed to. Furthermore, the left facet of her physique was being powerless, aching and tingling. Immediately, her small mouth twitched barely and she or he wept loudly, crying: ‘You bully me! You bully me!’

The center-aged man mentioned: ‘Alright, alright! Do not cry! He simply gave you a mild hit. What is the huge deal? Regularly utilizing intensely toxic missiles to hurt different folks, you have to be taught a lesson.’

The younger lady wept, saying: ‘This Inexperienced Phosphorous Needle of mine is not the scariest. I nonetheless have very many unused missiles.’

Xiao Feng mentioned coldly: ‘Why did not you employ the Invisible Mud, the Carefree Powder, the Blissful Thorn, or the Coronary heart Piercing Nail?’

The younger lady stopped crying. There was an especially stunned expression on her face. She requested in a quavering voice: ‘You… How have you learnt?’

Xiao Feng replied: ‘I do know your grasp is the Previous Fiend of Xingxiu (Xingxiu = Constellation. This can be a faculty identify and a spot identify so I take advantage of the pinyin) so I do know you may have numerous evil toxic missiles.’

As quickly as he mentioned so, everybody was shocked. The ‘Previous Fiend of Xingxiu’ Ding Chunqiu was an unorthodox knowledgeable that everybody in wulin would frown after they heard his identify. This man stopped at nothing in doing evil and killed folks like flies. His ‘Vitality Dissolving Nice Approach’ was specifically developed for destroying different folks’s inside energies so it was a good higher taboo to martial arts learners below Heaven. Sadly, his martial arts had been extraordinarily good due to this fact nobody had been in a position to do something about him. All in all, it was solely as a result of he had seldom come to the Central Plains that he had not but develop into a disaster.

The expression of the middle-aged man’s was each sympathetic and fearful. He requested in a heat voice: ‘A’Zi, why did you settle for the Previous Fiend of Xingxiu as your grasp?’

Along with her huge spherical shiny black eyes extensive open, the younger lady sized up that middle-aged man, asking: ‘How have you learnt my identify?’ The center-aged man sighed and mentioned: ‘Might or not it’s that you just did not hear what we talked simply now?’ The younger lady shook her head and smiled, saying: ‘Once I play possum, my coronary heart and respiration are stopped, and my eyes and ears are closed, so I can not see or hear something.’

Xiao Feng let go of her wrist and mentioned: ‘Humph, it is the ‘Chelonian Respiratory Ability’ of the Previous Fiend of Xingxiu.’ The younger lady A’Zi goggled at him, saying: ‘Bah! It appears you already know all the pieces.’ Then she caught out her tongue and made a face.

The attractive lady pulled A’Zi and regarded her up and down. Her face was being radiant with ineffable happiness. The center-aged man smiled, saying: ‘Why did you play possum? You actually made us leap out of our pores and skin.’ A’Zi was very happy with herself, saying: ‘Who advised you to throw me into the lake? You are not a superb man.’ The center-aged man checked out Xiao Feng then, with an ungainly expression, he pressured a smile and mentioned: ‘So cussed, so cussed.’

Xiao Feng knew that when he and his daughter met one another for the first time, they will surely have many issues to say–things that they may not let strangers hear. Subsequently he pulled a nook of A’Zhu’s robe and walked exterior into the bamboo forest. He noticed that A’Zhu’s eyes had develop into reddish and her physique was shaking constantly. So he requested: ‘A’Zhu, are you sick?’ and stretched out his hand and felt her pulse, solely to search out that it was beating very quick. Clearly her thoughts was being in nice turmoil. A’Zhu shook her head, saying: ‘It is nothing.’ Presently, she mentioned: ‘Large brother, please exit first, I… I must go to the bathroom.’ Xiao Feng nodded and walked far-off.

Xiao Feng walked to the facet of the lake and waited right here for fairly some time, however all alongside he didn’t see A’Zhu come out from the bamboo forest. Immediately he heard footsteps. 3 folks had been coming at a trotting velocity. A thought emerged in his thoughts: ‘Might or not it’s it is the prime villain coming?’ From a distance he solely noticed 3 folks speeding alongside the trail beside the lake. 2 of them had been carrying somebody on every of their backs, and a brief and small fellow was going as if flying. When speeding, it appeared as if his toes didn’t contact the bottom. After speeding away for a distance, he stopped to attend for his companions on the again. These 2 folks had stable steps. It was apparent that their martial arts had been moderately outstanding. When the three folks had drawn close to, Xiao Feng noticed that the two fellows being carried on the again of others’ had been none aside from the folks they’d met on the way–the mad axe person and the large fellow with the surname Fu. He heard the quick and small fellow shout: ‘My Lord, my Lord, the prime villain has caught up. We should always run rapidly!’

Main the gorgeous lady with 1 hand, and main A’Zi with the opposite hand, the middle-aged man walked out from the bamboo forest. There have been tear stains on the face of the middle-aged man and the gorgeous lady, however A’Zi was grinning complacently as if nothing had occurred. After that, A’Zhu additionally walked out from the bamboo forest then went to the facet of Xiao Feng.

That middle-aged man let go of the two females he was main, rushed to the facet of the two wounded fellows and checked their pulses. Seeing that their lives had been undoubtedly not at risk, he had a joyful look on his face directly, saying: ‘You 3 have gone by hardships. I am simply feeling comfortable that each brother GU and brother Fu haven’t any huge drawback.’ The three folks bowed in salute in an exceedingly respectful and cautious method.

Xiao Feng was inwardly stunned: ‘These 3 folks’s martial arts and bearing are actually out of the atypical. Even when they are not lords who wield absolute energy in a area, they’ll simply be the heads of some colleges, however why are they so respectful when seeing this middle-aged man? What’s his background?’

That quick fellow mentioned: ‘My Lord, this topic has arrange a diversion beside the bluestone bridge to carry again the prime villain. However I am afraid he’ll see by the stratagem directly. Please set off forthwith, my Lord.’ The center-aged man mentioned: ‘It is unlucky for my household to have produced such an evil insurgent. Because you and he have met one another right here, I am afraid even when I wish to keep away from him I will not be capable to. Maybe I am going to haven’t any selection however to attempt to take care of him as soon as.’ A fellow with thick eyebrows and massive eyes mentioned: ‘Your topics are going to share the duty of resisting the enemy and eliminating evil amongst ourselves. Please connect most significance to the nation and rapidly return to Dali in order to not make His Majesty involved about your welfare, my Lord.’ A fellow of middling measurement mentioned: ‘My Lord, you shouldn’t show your non permanent valor in coping with right now’s matter. In case you make any slight slip, my Lord, how shall we’ve got the face to return to Dali and meet His Majesty? We will haven’t any selection however to commit suicide collectively.’

Listening to as much as right here, Xiao Feng was barely scared: ‘What’s with all these topics, His Majesty, and return-to-Dali issues? Might or not it’s that they are from the Home of Duan in Dali?’ His coronary heart pounding chaotically, he thought: ‘Might or not it’s that the online of Heaven are huge and right now that villain Duan Zhengchun will fall into my palms by probability?’

Whereas he was being uncertain, abruptly he heard a protracted roar within the distance. After that, there have been shouts which appeared like metals being floor towards one another: ‘The son of a turtle (~ s.o.b) surnamed Duan, you’ll be able to’t escape. Be obedient and be tied, fast. Possibly your father right here may have some consideration to your son and spare your life.’

The voice of a lady was heard: ‘However Yue the Third you will not have the possibility to determine if his life will likely be spared or not. Do not inform me that huge bro will not be capable to deal with him?’ A sinister-sounding voice mentioned: ‘If this surnamed Duan fellow is aware of proper and mistaken, that’ll all the time be extra handy than not.’ This man was making an attempt arduous to ship his phrases far-off. He clearly didn’t have sufficient power in his abdomen. It appeared he had been injured and had not but healed.

Listening to these folks say ‘surnamed Duan’ many times, Xiao Feng felt much more suspicious. Immediately, a small hand was stretched over, and held his hand. Xiao Feng forged a sideways take a look at A’Zhu who was standing at his facet. He noticed that her face was pale, and the middle of her palm was stuffed with ice-cold sweat, so he requested in a low voice: ‘How are you?’ A’Zhu replied in a quavering voice: ‘I am very afraid.’ Xiao Feng smiled, saying: ‘Beside your huge brother, what are you continue to afraid of?’ Along with his mouth barely protruding within the course of the middle-aged man, he mentioned softly into her ear: ‘It appears this man is from the Home of Duan in Dali.’ A’Zhu made no remark, her lips transferring barely.

The center-aged man was Duan Zhengchun, the Crown Brother (No thought what the English equal of 皇太弟 is) of the State of Dali. In his youth he traveled the Central Plains and loved the pursuit of romance so it was unavoidable that he had relationships in all places. In actual fact, it was frequent for the wealthy and the folks of excessive social standing to have 3 or 4 wives. Duan Zhengchun was a prince, so it was additionally regular for him to have romantic relationships with many individuals. However the Home of Duan originated from a widely known household within the Central Plains. Although they’d develop into the sovereign energy in Dali, they’d all the time adopted the teachings of their ancestors in all every day life issues and in consuming and ingesting. By no means had they dared neglect their origin and be overly lavish. Duan Zhengchun’s first spouse, Girl Dao Baifeng, was the daughter of a robust Baiyi headman in Yunnan. The Home of Duan married certainly one of their sons to her with a purpose to win over the Baiyi, thus strengthening their imperial throne. There weren’t many Han folks in Yunnan at the moment, due to this fact, with out the help of the Baiyi the throne of the Duan clan wouldn’t be secure. The Baiyi had all the time practiced monogamy. Being held in excessive regard since childhood, Dao Baifeng was much more unwilling to let Duan Zhengchun marry the 2nd spouse. Due to his unending romantic relationships in all places, she was so offended that she entered into faith and have become a Taoist priestess. Prior to now, Duan Zhengchun had a love story with every of the three girls Qin Hongmian–Mu Wanqing’s mom, Gan Baobao–Zhong Wanchou’s spouse, and Ruan Xingzhu–A’Zi’s mom.

This time, Duan Zhengchun complied with an order of his brother Emperor to go to Shenjie Temple in Luliangzhou to analyze the circumstances of the homicide of Venerable Xuan Bei of Shaolin Monastery. He found very many uncertain factors, and thought that it may not be the murderous work of the Murong Clan of Gusu. However no high-level Shaolin got here there for greater than half a month, so he took the three Dukes Fan Hua, Hua Hegen and Ba Tianshi, in addition to the 4 Grand Bodyguards, to the Central Plains to search out out in regards to the fact. Making use of the chance, he paid Ruan Xingzhu, who was residing in seclusion beside the Little Mirror Lake, a go to. And in today, they had been all the time in one another’s firm and had been comfortable like immortals.

When Duan Zhengchun and his previous flame rekindled their love, the three Dukes and the 4 Bodyguards, who got here alongside to guard him, scattered throughout to protect. They might by no means have thought that their archenemy would efficiently discover and are available to this place.

Duan Yanqing’s martial arts had been formidable therefore GU Ducheng and Fu Sigui of the 4 Grand Bodyguards had been successively injured. Zhu Danchen mistook Xiao Feng for his or her enemy and did not cease him on the bluestone bridge. As for Chu Wanli, he was being caught in A’Zi’s Versatile Silk Web. After rescuing the two folks GU and Fu, the Minister of Conflict Fan Hua, the Minister of Schooling Hua Hegen and the Minister of Works Ba Tianshi rapidly went to Duan Zhengchun to guard him and thrust back the robust enemy collectively.

Zhu Danchen constantly tried to unloose the fishing internet that was wrapping round Chu Wanli. This internet, nonetheless, couldn’t be untied with palms and nor may its threads be broken by knives. Zhu Danchen had been so busy with it that he had sweated throughout, but he nonetheless had no approach that labored. Duan Zhengchun turned to A’Zi, saying: ‘Launch uncle Chu, fast. The archenemy is coming. Do not be naughty anymore.’ A’Zi laughed and mentioned: ‘What’s going to you reward me with, Dad?’ Duan Zhengchun frowned, saying: ‘In case you do not take heed to me, I am going to ask your mom to beat your palms. You have offended uncle Chu. Why have not you made amends?’ A’Zi mentioned: ‘You threw me into the lake, making me play possum for a very long time. Why have not you made amends to me? I am going to ask Mother to beat your palms, too!’

Seeing that South-Stabilizing Prince abruptly had one other daughter who not solely was conceited and naughty but additionally was not within the least well-behaved in direction of her father, the folks similar to Fan Hua and Ba Tianshi had been secretly on the alert, considering: ‘This lady is not a reliable little one in any respect, however she’s nonetheless South-Stabilizing Prince’s daughter. Even when she offends me, I should not take her significantly and may solely suppose that it is dangerous luck. Being tied by her on this approach, brother Chu should discover it very arduous to endure.’

Duan Zhengchun mentioned angrily: ‘In case you do not take heed to Dad, see if later I will be keen on you or not?’ A’Zi twitched her small mouth and mentioned: ‘After all you are not keen on me. In any other case, how may you abandon me for 10-odd years and ignore me all alongside?’ For a brief time period, Duan Zhengchun was unable to say something and solely sighed sadly. Ruan Xingzhu mentioned: ‘A’Zi, my valuable, Mother has one thing for you. You rapidly launch uncle Chu.’ A’Zi held out her hand, saying: ‘You give me first. Let me see if it is good or not.’

Seeing that this little lady was crafty, discourteous and insolent, Xiao Feng was very offended. In his coronary heart, he revered Chu Wanli for being a courageous fellow, considering: ‘You are a servant of their household so you do not dare categorical your feelings. However I need not present respect for them.’ Then he bent down and lifted Chu Wanli up, saying: ‘Brother Chu, it appears these versatile threads will loosen directly when touching water. I am gonna immerse you in water.’

A’Zi was livid, crying: ‘Dangerous egg, who advised you to be meddlesome once more!?’ However having been given a slap within the face by Xiao Feng, she was moderately afraid of him and didn’t dare stretch out her palms to cease him.

After lifting Chu Wanli up, with a number of steps, Xiao Feng rushed to the facet of the lake and immersed him within the water. As anticipated, the Versatile Silk Web loosened up when coming into contact with the water. Xiao Feng held out his hand and untied the fishing internet. Chu Wanli mentioned in a low voice: ‘Thanks loads for serving to me, brother Xiao.’ Xiao Feng smiled, saying: ‘This naughty little lady could be very arduous to take care of. I already gave her a heavy slap within the face to vent your anger for you.’ Chu Wanli shook his head, wanting very dispirited.

Xiao Feng crumpled the Versatile Silk Web up into a bit which was not larger than a fist. The web was actually an uncommon factor. A’Zi got here close to him, held out her hand and mentioned: ‘Give it again to me!’ Xiao Feng barely waved his hand, assuming a posture which regarded as if he needed to hit her. A’Zi was so frightened that she retreated a number of steps. However Xiao Feng solely needed to scare her. He then took the chance to place the Versatile Silk Web in his bosom. He thought that the middle-aged man in entrance of him was in all probability his personal archenemy, and that A’Zi was the person’s daughter and this Versatile Silk Web was a helpful factor so he actually shouldn’t return it to her.

A’Zi went to Duan Zhengchun and pulled a nook of his gown, saying: ‘Dad, he stole my fishing internet! He stole my fishing internet!’ Duan Zhengchun noticed that Xiao Feng had acted unusually, however he thought that he in all probability needed to self-discipline A’Zi slightly, and that he had such excellent martial arts so it was most unlikely that he coveted an object of a kid’s.

Immediately, Ba Tianshi mentioned loudly and clearly: ‘Brother Yun, I belief that you have been effectively since we parted? Different folks’s martial arts develop into stronger and stronger by follow, why have brother Yun’s develop into worse and worse? Get down!’ As he completed saying, he brandished his hand and hit a tree. With a crack, a department fell down following his palm assault. And on the identical time, a person fell down. This man was each skinny and tall. He was none aside from ‘Excessive Ferocity Utmost Evil’ Yun Zhonghe. After being hit by a palm assault of Xiao Feng at Juxian Manor, he had been significantly injured and nearly misplaced his life. With nice issue, he had recuperated, however his martial arts had develop into a lot worse than earlier than. That day in Dali, he and Ba Tianshi had had a lightness talent contest they usually had not been far aside. Nevertheless, right now, as quickly as Ba Tianshi heard the footsteps of Yun Zhonghe when he went up the tree, he knew that his lightness talent was inferior to it had been up to now.

As quickly as Yun Zhonghe noticed Xiao Feng, he was frightened, so he circled and ran to satisfy 3 individuals who had been coming alongside the trail beside the lake. Amongst these 3 folks, the one on the left-hand facet had matted hair and quick clothes–he was the ‘Fiendish Satan’ South Sea Divine Alligator. The one on the right-hand facet was a lady who was embracing a child–she was ‘Cease at No Evil’ Ye Erniang. The one within the center was carrying a inexperienced gown and was supporting himself on 2 skinny iron canes and his face regarded like a corpse’s–he was none aside from the chief of the 4 Evils, often called ‘Filled with the Worst Evils’ Duan Yanqing.

Duan Yanqing had seldom confirmed his face within the Central Plains so Xiao Feng and the ‘Number one Arch-Villain below Heaven’ had been in no way acquainted with one another. Nevertheless, Duan Zhengchun had skilled his artifice in Dali, so he knew that regardless that those similar to Ye Erniang and Yue the Third had been highly effective, they weren’t arduous to deal with, however Duan Yanqing was actually no small matter. He had robust strategies of each the orthodox system and the heterodox system of martial arts. No doubt he was proficient on the Purely Yang Finger of the Duan household, and he had additionally mastered unorthodox abilities from head to toe, orthodoxy and heterodoxy boosting one another. Not even such an knowledgeable as Yellow-Eyebrowed Monk was a match for him, so Duan Zhengchun actually knew that he himself was not his equal in martial arts.

Fan Hua mentioned loudly: ‘My Lord, this Duan Yanqing is as much as no good. You must connect most significance to the nation, my Lord. Please rapidly go and request high-level monks of Tianlong Monastery to come back right here.’ Tianlong Monastery was far approach in Dali, how was it attainable to request them to come back? At current, the Lord and the servants of Dali had been being confronted with a lethal nice hazard, so these phrases had been meant to request Duan Zhengchun to rapidly flee again to Dali directly. On the identical time, they had been a false present of energy and would possibly make Duan Yanqing suppose that high-level monks of Tianlong Monastery had been close by, thus turning into considerably afraid of them. Duan Yanqing was of the direct line of descent of the Duan Clan so he actually knew very effectively that the monks of Tianlong Monastery had been redoubtable.

Duan Zhengchun knew clearly that the state of affairs was extraordinarily harmful, however among the many folks of Dali right here he had the most effective martial arts, if he deserted the others and retreated, how would he nonetheless have the face to see the heroes below Heaven? Furthermore, his lover and daughter had been round, how may he lose face like that? So, he smiled, saying: ‘A matter of the Duan Clan in Dali, but we’ve got to go to Nice Tune to settle, ha-ha, so laughable, so laughable.’

Ye Erniang laughed and mentioned: ‘Duan Zhengchun, each time I see you, you are all the time along with some free and enticing girls, each young and old. Your bliss ain’t dangerous, eh?’ Duan Zhengchun smiled, saying: ‘YE Erniang, you are additionally very free and enticing!’

South Sea Divine Alligator mentioned angrily: ‘This son of a turtle has loved sufficient happiness. He has a son, however the dude’s unwilling to simply accept me as grasp. He cannot be a father. Let this father right here lower him down at 1 stroke!’ Then he drew out from his facet the Alligator-Mouthed Scissors and rushed at Duan Zhengchun.

Listening to Ye Erniang name the middle-aged man Duan Zhengchun and him admit it with out concealing something, Xiao Feng was certain that he had guessed appropriately. He turned to A’Zhu and mentioned in a low voice: ‘It is actually him!’ A’Zhu mentioned in a trembling voice: ‘You wish to… launch a joint assault from the facet, profiting from his precarious state of affairs?’ Xiao Feng’s thoughts had been fired up. He was each offended and happy, saying coldly: ‘My mother and father’ wrongs, my benevolent grasp’s mistaken, my adopted father and mom’s wrongs, and the wrongs I’ve suffered, humph, such knots of intense and deep-seated hatred. Humph, may or not it’s that we’ll nonetheless be listening to advantage, morality and jianghu customs?’ He mentioned these few sentences very softly however his face was stuffed with enmity, wanting resolute and decisive as if chopping nails and chopping iron.

Seeing South Sea Divine Alligator cost up, Fan Hua mentioned in a low voice: ‘Large brother Hua, expensive brother Zhu, you two assault this lout collectively! Hit him quick and arduous. The sooner you beat him the higher. Eradicate the accomplices first then everybody will cooperate to deal with the boss.’ Hua Hegen and Zhu Danchen replied in settlement and got here out. They felt that there was a lack of dignity in utilizing 2 folks to battle 1 enemy. Moreover, Hua Hegen’s martial arts weren’t inferior to South Sea Divine Alligator’s, so it was pointless for somebody to assist him. However listening to Fan Hua say so, each of them additionally felt that his phrases had been affordable. Duan Yanqing was actually too formidable. In a single-on-one fight, nobody may very well be a match for him, so there was no different for them however to hurry at him on the identical time. Maybe solely then would they be capable to defend themselves. At once, Hua Hegen grasped his metal shovel and Zhu Danchen brandished his iron brushes and attacked South Sea Divine Alligator from the left and the appropriate in a pincer motion.

Fan Hua continued: ‘Brother Ba, you go battle your previous pal. I and brother Chu deal with that lady.’ Ba Tianshi replied in settlement, got here out and rushed at Yun Zhonghe. Fan Hua and Zhu Wanli additionally jumped ahead in pairs directly. The unique weapon of Chu Wanli’s was an iron fishing rod, nevertheless it had been thrown into the lake by A’Zi, so on this second he was elevating Fu Sigui’s copper employees. He shouted loudly and rushed up.

Fan Hua went straight at Ye Erniang. Ye Erniang gave an enthralling smile. Seeing Fan Hua’s actions, she knew that he was a robust opponent, so she didn’t dare to be careless in coping with him. She threw the newborn she was embracing on the bottom. When she circled, there was already a saber which was each broad and skinny in her hand. However nobody may have identified the place she had hidden it beforehand.

Chu Wanli, nonetheless, rushed at Duan Yanqing, shouting like loopy. Fan Hua was very frightened, calling: ‘Brother Chu, brother Chu, come to this facet!’ It appeared Chu Wanli didn’t hear something. He raised the copper employees and ferociously swung it horizontally at Duan Yanqing.

Duan Yanqing sneered barely. Unexpectedly, he didn’t dodge, however thrust at Chu Wanli’s face with the iron cane in his left hand. This stance is talked about evenly on paper, nevertheless it was executed with out in the slightest degree of inaccuracy in timing and place. In comparison with the transfer of the employees of Chu Wanli’s, it arrived just a bit sooner. Popping out later however arriving earlier, it was little doubt swift and fierce. Moreover its neutralizing function, this stance was additionally for attacking, so it needs to be inconceivable for Chu Wanli to not dodge. In 1 stance, Duan Yanqing had reversed the positions of the host and the visitor. Nevertheless, who would have thought that Chu Wanli wouldn’t appear to see the approaching iron employees? He put extra energy in his palms and saved swinging the copper employees at Duan Yanqing’s waist swiftly. Duan Yanqing was scared, considering: ‘Might or not it’s that this fellow is mad?’ He was unwilling to develop into entangled with Chu Wanli in a state of affairs that may see each side injured. Even when he may poke him to dying on the spot with this stance, his personal waist can be hit by the employees and he will surely be injured. So he unexpectedly pushed his proper cane towards the bottom, jumped up and dodged.

Chu Wanli rapidly put the copper employees up and thrust at his decrease stomach. This copper employees of Fu Sigui’s was thick, lengthy and heavy, so steadiness was the criterion for judging the martial arts of a person of it. However velocity and lightness had been the robust factors of Chu Wanli’s martial arts, so he had difficulties in utilizing this copper employees. Nevertheless, he brandished it in a disorderly method with each transfer aimed for a significant a part of Duan Yanqing’s and gave completely no thought to his personal life and dying. ‘A desperado bests 10,000 fellows,’ because the saying goes. Although Duan Yanqing had highly effective martial arts, when going through this madman who fought recklessly with no regard for his life, he was pressured to retreat many times.

In a really quick time, the inexperienced garden beside the Little Mirror Lake was already splattered throughout with recent blood. It turned out whereas retreating Duan Yanqing had executed his stances constantly. Every of his stances had hit Chu Wanli’s physique and pierced a gap within the place the place it had hit. Nevertheless, Chu Wanli didn’t appear to be in ache and saved brandishing the copper employees sooner.

Duan Zhengchun known as: ‘Brother Chu, fall again. I am gonna battle this villain!’ He moved his hand backwards and acquired a protracted sword from Ruan Xingzhu’s hand. Then he rushed up, eager to battle Duan Yanqing in a two-on-one. Chu Wanli cried: ‘Fall again, my Lord.’ However Duan Zhengchun can be unwilling to hear. He put the sword up then thrust at Duan Yanqing. Duan Yanqing, propping his proper cane on the bottom, first blocked Chu Wanli’s copper employees together with his left cane, then profiting from the chance he thrust on the place between Duan Zhengchun’s eyebrows. Duan Zhengchun retreated 1 step in a sloping course.

Chu Wanli, sounding like a wounded beast, abruptly modified his offence. He grasped 1 finish of the copper employees with each palms, brandished it at excessive velocity, making a circle of yellow mild which regarded like an enormous copper tray, and whirled it in direction of the iron cane that Duan Yanqing was propping on the bottom. Such a approach of preventing was not any martial arts method.

The folks similar to Fan Hua, Hua Hegen and Zhu Danchen all shouted loudly: ‘Brother Chu, huge brother Chu, rapidly fall again to have a relaxation.’ Chu Wanli, screaming out, abruptly jumped up and thrust and whipped at Duan Yanqing chaotically with the employees. At this second, seeing that his actions had been weird, everybody, from Fan Hua to Ye Erniang and South Sea Divine Alligator, stopped preventing. Zhu Danchen known as: ‘Large brother Chu, transfer again!’ and rushed forwards to drag him. However he was hit proper within the face by a backward elbow assault from Chu Wanli. Without delay, his nostril turned black and his mouth swelled up.

Assembly such an opponent was not what Duan Yanqing wished for. By now, he and Chu Wanli had exchanged 30 stances or so, and he had pierced greater than 10 deep holes in Chu Wanli’s physique. Chu Wanli, nonetheless, was nonetheless shouting and preventing violently. Duan Yanqing and the bystanders all had been astounded and felt that this matter was very removed from what was regular. Zhu Danchen knew that if Chu Wanli saved preventing, he will surely die. Tears rolled down his face. He needed to rushed forwards to assist him, however when he had simply taken a step, abruptly he heard a ‘hu’ sound. Chu Wanli had thrown the copper employees on the enemy with all his would possibly. And it went with nice drive. Duan Yanqing thrust out together with his iron cane and hit the copper employees proper within the center, then, with a light-weight upward motion of the iron cane, the copper employees flew to his again. When the copper employees had not but fallen on the bottom, Chu Wanli unfold his 10 fingers and rushed at Duan Yanqing.

Duan Yanqing, sneering barely, made a thrust of the cane at chest excessive. The 4 folks Duan Zhengchun, Fan Hua, Hua Hegen and Zhu Danchen exclaimed in unison and went forwards to assist him on the identical time. However this thrust of the cane by Duan Yanqing was too swift. With a ‘pu’ sound, the cane caught in Chu Wanli’s chest squarely then pierced from the chest by to the again. After his proper cane had pierced by Chu Wanli, he pressed his left cane on the bottom and floated away a number of zhang (3.333 m).

Blood spurted out wildly from the injuries on Chu Wanli’s chest and again however he nonetheless needed to chase after Duan Yanqing. Nevertheless, after taking 1 step, he had no energy to carry his foot, so he circled and talked to Duan Zhengchun: ‘My Lord, Chu Wanli prefers dying to dishonor. All my life I’ve by no means let the Home of Duan of Dali down.’

Duan Zhengchun fell on his proper knee and mentioned tearfully: ‘Brother Chu, it is as a result of I fathered my daughter however did not train her that she offended you. Zhengchun is extraordinarily ashamed of that.’

Chu Wanli turned to Zhu Danchen and smiled, saying: ‘Good brother, this elder brother should go first. You… you…’ When he had simply mentioned 2 ‘you’ phrases, his respiration stopped, and he died. However his physique nonetheless stood upright with out falling.

Listening to he say the phrases ‘prefers dying to dishonor’ in his dying second, everybody knew that he disregarded his life and recklessly attacked Duan Yanqing like that as a result of the intention of dying had geminated in him way back on account of the humiliation of being caught in A’Zi’s fishing internet. Folks in wulin all knew the precept of ‘There are nonetheless folks stronger than robust folks and there are nonetheless mountains larger than excessive mountains.’ It was not a burning disgrace when an individual was bested in martial arts, as a result of in the event that they practiced intensely for 10 years, it was not like there wouldn’t be a day after they would have their revenge. Nevertheless, as a result of Chu Wanli was a servant of the Duan Clan and A’Zi was Duan Zhengchun’s daughter, there was no approach for Chu Wanli to eliminate this humiliation in his life, thus he was keen to lose his life in battle. Zhu Danchen wept loudly. Although Fu Sigui and GU Ducheng had not but recovered from their severe accidents, they each rose and needed to battle Duan Yanqing to the dying.

Immediately, there was the clear voice of a lady: ‘This man’s martial arts had been too dangerous. Bringing about his personal dying like that for nothing, wasn’t he an enormous idiot?’ It was none aside from A’Zi who mentioned that.

The folks similar to Duan Zhengchun had been being sorrowful, so listening to these chilly and unkind mocking phrases of her they may not assist getting livid. The folks similar to Fan Hua glowered at her, however as a result of she was their Lord’s daughter, it was inconvenient for them to specific their feelings. Duan Zhengchun’s anger surged up. He turned his hand and swung it at her face in a heavy slap.

Ruan Xingzhu raised her hand to dam it, saying sulkily: “You deserted your individual daughter to different folks for 10-odd years, not understanding if she was useless or alive. Immediately you have met her once more, but you continue to have the center to beat her?”

Duan Zhengchun had all the time felt ashamed that he had not handled Ruan Xingzhu effectively. Furthermore, he had all the time been obedient to her, and was unwilling to dispute together with her in entrance of different folks. Therefore when this palm assault was about to hit her arm, he hurriedly drew it again. He mentioned angrily to A’Zi: ‘Uncle Chu was harmed to dying by you, have you learnt that?’

A’Zi barely twitched her small mouth and mentioned: ‘They name you ‘Lord’ so I am his little grasp. Killing 1 vassal or 2–What’s so severe about it?’ Her expression was very disdainful.

At the moment, the dividing line between rulers and topics had been very strict, in order a lot that ‘when a ruler needed a topic to die, the topic was not allowed to not die.’ The folks similar to Chu Wanli had been officers within the imperial court docket of the State of Dali, so that they actually deeply revered the Duan Clan. Nevertheless, the Home of Duan had its origin within the wulin of the Central Plains and had all the time complied with jianghu customs, due to this fact regardless that the folks similar to Hua Hegen and Chu Wanli had been topics, Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun had all the time handled them like brothers. In his youth, Duan Zhengchun had steadily travelled jianghu within the Central Plains. Chu Wanli had adopted him to undergo life-or-death conditions and expertise not just a few risks. How may he be the identical as an atypical vassal? Listening to these phrases of A’Zi, the folks similar to Fan Hua was even unhappier. As long as it was not at a court docket or a temple, even Emperor Baoding all the time added the phrase ‘brother’ when he addressed them, a lot much less Duan Zhengchun, who had not but been enthroned, and A’Zi, who was merely an illegitimate daughter with no correct standing of his?

Not solely was Duan Zhengchun distressed on the dying of Chu Wanli, he additionally felt ashamed to have such a daughter. Placing up his sword, he floated out and pointed at Duan Yanqing, saying: ‘If you wish to kill me–then simply come to take my life. The Duan Clan makes use of ‘benevolance and righteousness’ to handle state affairs. In case you kill harmless folks excessively, even in the event you get the nation, it will not final lengthy.’

From the underside of his coronary heart, Xiao Feng secretly sneered: ‘The phrases out of your mouth are so nice to listen to. At this second you are still appearing the gentleman.’

With a press of his iron cane, Duan Yanqing was already in entrance of Duan Zhengchun. He requested: ‘You wanna battle me one-on-one with no outsider concerned, proper?’ Duan Zhengchun replied: ‘Sure! You solely wish to kill me then go to Dali and kill my Emperor elder brother. Whether or not you’ll be able to obtain your goals–depends in your fortune. My subordinates and relations don’t have anything to do with the matter between you and me.’ He knew Duan Yanqing’s martial arts had been actually too formidable so right now he himself would in all probability lose his life right here. However he hoped that Duan Yanqing wouldn’t make issues tough for Ruan Xingzhu, A’Zi and the folks similar to Fan Hua. Duan Yanqing mentioned: ‘Kill your loved ones, however spare your subordinates. It was as a result of my Emperor father was benevolent and did not kill your brother and also you up to now that there’s this catastrophe of usurpation and rise up of right now.’

Duan Zhengchun thought: ‘I, Duan Zhengchun, will die with honor and will not depart behind something for different folks to sneer at.’ He folded his palms in salute to Chu Wanli’s corpse, saying: ‘Brother Chu, right now Duan Zhengchun goes to battle the enemy with you facet by facet.’ Then he turned to Fan Hua and mentioned: ‘Minister of Conflict Fan, after I’ve died, my tomb and brother Chu’s will likely be facet by facet, and with no master-vassal separation.’

Duan Yanqing mentioned: ‘Ha-ha, hypocrite, you are still making an attempt to win the hearts of different folks. You suppose they’d assist you to with all their energy?’

Duan Zhengchun didn’t say something. Along with his left hand forming a sword, he thrust out with the lengthy sword in his proper hand. This ‘That Sharpness Cuts Metallic’ stance was the beginning stance of the ‘Duan Household Sword.’ Duan Yanqing actually knew its variations profoundly. He reacted calmly directly with a stance of his cane. As quickly as the 2 fought, they each used the martial arts of the Duan household that had been handed down from era to era. Duan Yanqing used his canes like swords. His function was to kill Duan Zhengchun with the ‘Duan Household Sword’ swordsmanship. He and Duan Zhengchun turned the enemies of one another not due to any private enmity, however as a result of they each contended for the throne of Dali. Now, all the three Dukes of Dali had been right here, if he used heterodox martial arts to kill Duan Zhengchun, the court docket officers of Dali will surely disapprove of him. But when he used the orthodox ‘Duan Household Sword’ of his household to defeat the enemy and win the battle, his actions can be completely justifiable, and nobody would be capable to have a phrase of dissent. The battle for the throne between the brothers of the Duan Clan had nothing to do with the officers, so sooner or later if he ascended the throne and have become the Emperor, it will be very handy for him.

Seeing Duan Yanqing utilizing their household’s abilities with the canes, Duan Zhengchun was considerably calm. Holding his breath and concentrating his thoughts, he did his greatest to execute his sword stances correctly. His footwork secure, his sword actions had been mild and fast, and there was no stance that was less than customary in offence and defence. Duan Yanqing used the ‘Duan Household Sword’ with the canes. His swordsmanship had huge and liberal actions, and regarded dignified. Although its stances had been extraordinarily mild, swift and stylish, these qualities got here for gratis to its kingly air.

Xiao Feng thought: ‘This good probability right now is tough to come back by. I’ve all the time fearful in regards to the Purely Yang Finger and the ‘Six Meridians Divine Sword’ of the Duan Clan. Fortunately this thief Duan Zhengchun has been discovered by a troublesome enemy, and his enemy is precisely a member of his clan. Within the blink of an eye fixed I am going to be capable to see clearly how highly effective these 2 elite abilities of the Duan household are.’

After watching greater than 20 stances, he noticed that the iron canes in Duan Yanqing’s palms appeared to have develop into heavier regularly. His actions had been extra sluggish and fewer clean than earlier than. However when Duan Zhengchun’s lengthy sword clashed with a cane, it rebounded off farther and farther. Xiao Feng secretly accredited, considering: ‘Actual abilities have been put into play. Utilizing these skinny mild iron canes similar to a 60 or 70 Jin (0.6 kg) Buddhist employees made from refined iron–this achievement could be very excellent.’ The folks with good martial arts had been usually able to ‘lifting heavy objects as in the event that they had been mild’ and utilizing heavy weapons like nothing, however ‘lifting mild objects as in the event that they had been heavy’ was a talent of the following stage. Although it appeared ‘as in the event that they had been heavy’, they weren’t ‘actually heavy.’ They needed to have the fierceness of heavy weapons and the intrinsic deftness of sunshine weapons. Seeing Duan Yanqing utilizing the skinny iron canes like metal staves, furthermore they had been getting heavier and heavier with apparently no finish, inwardly Xiao Feng praised him for possessing an distinctive inside power.

Duan Zhengchun did his greatest to obtain the enemy’s stances however he regularly felt that the canes had been turning into heavier, which pressed him a lot that he was unable to channel his interior breath as he happy. The martial arts of the Home of Duan paid specific consideration to inside power. Subsequently, having an unsmooth interior respiration was a sign of inferiority and defeat. However Duan Zhengchun didn’t panic within the least. Really, he didn’t hope that he would be capable to win this match of mortal fight by luck. He thought that he had loved a really comfortable life, so if he misplaced his life beside the Little Mirror Lake right now, there wouldn’t be any mistaken. Morever, with Ruan Xingzhu watching him together with her affectionate eyes by his facet, if he died he can be a romantically profitable ghost.

All his life, he had had romantic relationships in all places. In actual fact, the love he had for Ruan Xingzhu was not higher than the love he had for his spouse Dao Baifeng or for another lady of his. However every time he was along with a lover, he all the time handled her wholeheartedly, and even when he needed to lose his life for her, he wouldn’t hesitate. As for having a brand new happiness after parting from her, that was a special matter.

The interior power within the iron canes of Duan Yanqing’s turned heavier consistently. After exchanging 60 stances or so, the Duan Household Sword method had been used utterly. Seeing that there have been a number of beads of sweat on Duan Zhengchun’s nostril, however the sound of his respiration was nonetheless light, lengthy and regular, Xiao Feng thought: ‘I’ve heard that this fellow is amorous and has fairly just a few lovers. Who’d have thought that he’d have such a long-lasting inside power? I mustn’t regard him evenly.’ By now, the interior power in Duan Yanqing’s canes had been introduced into play to the max. When the iron canes had been despatched out in assaults, chi-chi sounds may very well be heard. When Duan Zhengchun warded off a sword stance, his physique would shake. And when he warded off one other sword stance, his physique would shake once more.

All of the stances that the two of them used had been those that they’d discovered and achived mastery of because the age of 13 or 14. Even the folks similar to Fan Hua and Ba Tianshi had additionally seen and been used to those stances for the previous a number of many years. Therefore this sword battle was not a battle of stances, however a battle of inside power. Watching so far, the folks similar to Fan Hua knew that Duan Zhengchun couldn’t endure this. They gave one another hints with the eyes and grasped their weapons, wanting to enter motion collectively to assist him.

Immediately a lady giggled and mentioned: ‘So laughable, so laughable! Each one of many folks often called heroes and distinctive males of Dali now needs to cost forwards collectively and depend on quantity to win. Would not it flip them into shameless pigmies?’

Everybody was startled. Seeing that these few sentences had been clearly the work of A’Zi, all of them had been extraordinarily puzzled. The one that was going through hazard was her father, and she or he was not unaware of it, however why may she say these mocking phrases?

Ruan Xingzhu mentioned angrily: ‘A’Zi, what have you learnt? Your father is the South-Stabilizing Prince of the State of Dali. The guy who’s preventing him is the traitor of the Duan household. These buddies all had been topics of the State of Dali. Eliminating the merciless ones and suppressing the rebels are everybody’s duties.’ Her swimming abilities had been masterful, however her martial arts had been mediocre. Seeing that her beau had been at risk repeatedly, she was anxious, calling: ‘Let’s cost facet by facet, everybody. The enemy is an evil traitor. Why nonetheless care about jianghu customs?’

A’Zi laughed and mentioned: ‘Mother, your phrases are very humorous. They’re simply an unreasonable sophism. It is as a result of my Dad is such a hero and courageous man that I accepted him. If he was a shameless fellow who needs to depend on different folks’s assist in preventing, why would I settle for a fellow of this kind as father?’

These few sentences went into everybody’s ears clearly. Fan Hua and the folks similar to Ba Tianshi and Hua Hegen checked out one another in clean dismay. All of them felt that it was undoubtedly improper to go forwards to assist, however it will be no good if they didn’t go into motion.

Although Duan Zhengchun was a person who keen on pursuing romance, he cherish the fame of being ‘a hero and courageous man’ very a lot. He usually made enjoyable of himself, saying: ”It is arduous for a hero to move the wonder move,’ even when I can not move the wonder move, I am nonetheless a hero. How cannot I see that the Conqueror of Chu (Xiang Yu) had Yu Ji, the Supreme Ancestor of Han (Liu Bang) had Girl Qi, and Li Shimin had Wu Zetian?’ So he merely disdained to do imply and cowardly issues. Although he was being in an intense battle, listening to A’Zi’s phrases, he mentioned loudly directly: ‘What’s so necessary about life and dying, victory and defeat? Whoever goes ahead to assist will make issues tough for Duan Zhengchun.’

Opening his mouth to say, it was unavoidable that his inside power turned impure. However Duan Yanqing didn’t seize the chance to press ahead. As a substitute, he retreated 1 step, propped his canes on the bottom and waited for Duan Zhengchun to complete saying earlier than resuming preventing. The folks similar to Fan Hua had been secretly frightened after they noticed Duan Yanqing had such leisurely and refined habits and that he didn’t attempt to acquire any unfair benefit. Clearly he was safe within the information that he had robust backing, so he didn’t must reap the benefits of this example.

Duan Zhengchun smiled, saying: ‘Let’s proceed!’ He made a swing of the left sleeve and, making use of the wind created by the sleeve, despatched out the lengthy sword.

Ruan Xingzhu mentioned: ‘A’Zi, you see, your father’s swordsmanship is so swift and fierce. If he actually needs to complete this zombie off, he’ll be greater than adequate. However he is bought the standing of a prince, so in reality he can nonetheless depart it to his subordinates. He does not must do it himself.’ A’Zi mentioned: ‘If Dad may end him off, then nothing can be higher. I am solely afraid that you just’re speaking powerful, however feeble inside, Mother. Your phrases sound utterly spectacular, however in your coronary heart, you are extraordinarily scared.’ These few sentences described precisely her mom’s frame of mind. Ruan Xingzhu glowered at her daughter, considering: ‘This brat actually does not know what’s good or dangerous, and talks inconsiderately.’

They noticed Duan Zhengchun execute 3 swift stances constantly together with his lengthy sword. The interior power in Duan Yanqing’s iron canes turned stronger, forcing the enemy’s sword again one stance after one other. Within the 4th stance, ‘Golden Horse Rises into the Air’, Duan Zhengchun swung his sword out horizontally. Duan Yanqing replied with the ‘Inexperienced Jade Rooster Heralds Daybreak’ stance by thrusting out with the iron cane in his left hand. When the cane and the sword got here into contact with one another, they instantly caught collectively. Making ‘gu-gu’ sounds in his throat, Duan Yanqing abruptly pushed his proper cane towards the bottom and his physique rose into the air. The pinnacle of the cane in his left hand was nonetheless sticking along with the tip of Duan Zhengchun’s sword.

Immediately, 1 man stood on the bottom with each his toes, completely nonetheless like a deep abyss or a lofty mountain, and the opposite was in mid-air together with his complete physique, floating freely like a willow department within the wind.

‘Oh,’ all of the bystanders exclaimed. They knew that the two of them had reached the necessary moment–fighting with inside power. Standing on the bottom, Duan Zhengchun was in a position to borrow drive by his toes, which was to his benefit. Nevertheless, Duan Yanqing was urgent down from a better place, so the burden of his complete physique was placed on the enemy’s lengthy sword, additionally including to his inside power.

After a short time, everybody noticed that the lengthy sword regularly bent and slowly changed into an arc. The skinny iron cane, nonetheless, was nonetheless as straight as an arrow.

Xiao Feng noticed that the lengthy sword in Duan Zhengchun’s hand turned increasingly curved, and if it was bent slightly extra, maybe it will be damaged into two. He thought: ‘All alongside, the two have not used their most profound method ‘Six Meridians Divine Sword.’ Might or not it’s Duan Zhengchun is aware of he is not pretty much as good at this method as his enemy, so he thinks it would be higher to cover his clumsiness? However judging from his expression when utilizing inside power, it appears he has used up all his reserve of energy. It does not seem like he nonetheless has some unused particular talent in any respect.’

Duan Zhengchun, seeing that the lengthy sword in his hand may snap at any second, took a deep breath and rapidly pushed out together with his proper finger. It was none aside from the Purely Yang Finger method. His accomplishment in finger drive was nonetheless moderately inferior to that of his elder brother Duan Zhengming, and the finger drive was unable to go farther than 3 Chi (33.33 cm). The cane and the sword had been sticking collectively, and the entire size of two weapons was as nice as 8 Chi, so this finger assault was actually unable to injure the enemy. Therefore the finger drive was completely not aimed toward Duan Yanqing, however was aimed toward his iron cane.

Xiao Feng barely frowned, considering: ‘It appears this fellow cannot use the 6 Meridians Divine Sword. He is nonetheless not good as my sworn brother. This finger assault is merely an excellent acupuncture level blocking talent, nothing extra. What’s so unbelievable about it?’ However he noticed that every time Duan Zhengchun’s finger hit Duan Yanqing’s iron cane, it barely shook and Duan Zhengchun’s lengthy sword turned considerably straighter. He constantly poked 3 occasions so the lengthy sword in his hand turned much less bent 3 occasions, regularly reverting to its authentic state.

A’Zi, nonetheless, mentioned once more: ‘Mother, you see, Dad is utilizing each his finger and the sword, however he can solely match a skinny cane of that fellow’s. If the enemy assaults with the opposite cane, may or not it’s that Dad has 3 palms to deal with it? If he does not, then crawling on the bottom and elevating his toes may also be good. Although he’ll look ugly, it’s going to nonetheless be higher than getting stabbed to dying by that fellow.’

Ruan Xingzhu was already laden with sorrow watching the battle, but her daughter, at her facet, had all the time mentioned phrases that had been disagreeable to listen to. Earlier than she had replied, she noticed Duan Yanqing raised the iron cane in his proper hand, and certain sufficient, with a ‘chi’ sound, he thrust at Duan Zhengchun’s left forefinger with it.

The method and inside power of this cane assault of Duan Yanqing had been the identical as these of the Purely Yang Finger. However utilizing the cane like a finger, he may attain farther because of its size. Nonetheless, Duan Zhengchun didn’t dodge it. His finger drive and Duan Yanqing’s cane drive clashed. He felt a burst of ache and tingle in his arm directly. He retracted his finger. When he was about to channel his inside power once more to ship out the 2nd finger stance, unexpectedly, the black cane earlier than him moved in a short time. The 2nd cane stance of Duan Yanqing was already coming. Duan Zhengchun was shocked: ‘He channels his interior breath so fast. It appears it goes as he pleases. This achievement within the Purely Yang Finger is far profounder than mine.’ He returned it directly with a finger stance. However he was nonetheless late by the blink of an eye fixed, so his physique barely shook.

Seeing that he himself had fought Duan Zhengchun for a very long time, Duan Yanqing was very afraid {that a} lengthy delay would possibly trigger bother. If Duan Zhengchun’s subordinates charged at him on the identical time, it will ultimately require loads of motion. So, he brandished his cane just like the wind directly and despatched out 9 stances immediately. Duan Zhengchun did all he may to fend them off, however when the ninth cane stance got here, his inside power was not fixed. And so, with a comfortable ‘pu’ sound, the tip of the iron cane pierced his shoulder. His physique barely shook, and with a ‘pai’ sound, the lengthy sword in his proper hand snapped.

Duan Yanqing abruptly uttered a wierd sound from his throat and thrust the iron cane in his proper hand on the enemy’s head. Decided to take Duan Zhengchun’s life instantly with this stance of the cane, he put all his energy into the hand, so when the cane went out, it made loud noises.

The three folks Fan Hua, Hua Hegen and Ba Tianshi leaped out on the identical time and attacked Duan Yanqing from each side. The three Dukes of Dali noticed that the state of affairs was extraordinarily harmful, and it was undoubtedly too late to save lots of Duan Zhengchun, so all of them attacked Duan Yanqing’s important elements on to drive him to retract the cane to save lots of himself. Having already anticipated this transfer, Duan Yanqing pressed the iron cane in his left hand on the bottom to help his physique then channelled sufficient inside power into the iron cane in his proper hand and swung it out horizontally. In only a shock, he repelled all the three weapons. Then he aimed immediately at Duan Zhengchun’s head once more.

‘Ah,’ Ruan Xingzhu uttered a pointy cry and rapidly rushed over. Seeing that her beau was about to die a ugly dying, she additionally had no intention of residing.

When Duan Yanqing’s iron cane was simply 3 cun (3.333 cm) away from Duan Zhengchun’s ‘Baihui acupuncture level’, abruptly Duan Zhengchun’s physique flew away to 1 facet, and so the cane hit empty air. By now, the three folks Fan Hua, Hua Hegen and Ba Tianshi had been pressured to retreat concurrently by Duan Yanqing’s iron cane. Ba Tianshi was quick in his response. He turned his hand over and grabbed Ruan Xingzhu’s wrist in order that she wouldn’t die in useless by the hands of Duan Yanqing. All of them regarded in direction of Duan Zhengchun on the identical time.

This cane stance of Duan Yanqing missed the enemy, however he noticed an enormous fellow stretch out his hand, seize the again facet of Duan Zhengchun’s neck then forcefully pull him away within the blink of an eye fixed on the very second when his life was hanging by a thread. This extraordinary hand method was actually past creativeness. Duan Yanqing had highly effective martial arts, however he thought to himself that he was unable to take action. As a result of his facial muscle tissue had been stiff, regardless that he was amazed, his face didn’t change colours. He solely set free a ‘humph’ sound from his nostrils.

The one that went into motion and saved Duan Zhengchun was, after all, Xiao Feng. Whereas the two Duans had been battling one another, he stood to 1 facet and glued his eyes on the battle. As he noticed that Duan Zhengchun was about to be killed by the opponent, he abruptly thought that if Duan Yanqing thrust that cane down, his personal intense and deep-seated grievances would develop into inconceivable to redress. For the previous a number of days, he had made many vows and brought many oaths, that, in any case, it was inconceivable for him to not get his revenge. Seeing the enemy earlier than him, how may he let him die by the hands of a stranger? Therefore he leaped ahead and pulled Duan Zhengchun away.

Duan Yanqing’s thoughts was astute. Not ready for Xiao Feng to place Duan Zhengchun down, he swung the iron cane in his proper hand out like fierce winds and rainstorms, one stance after one other. All the thrusts had been aimed toward Duan Zhengchun’s important elements. He was decided to take away this impediment that was standing earlier than his imperial throne first. Find out how to take care of Xiao Feng can be a matter of the following step.

Flashing left, ducking proper, Xiao Feng dodged by the areas between the stances of the cane whereas nonetheless lifting Duan Zhengchun. Duan Yanqing executed 27 stances constantly together with his cane, however all alongside he had not touched a nook of Duan Zhengchun’s gown. He was very astonished in his coronary heart and knew that he himself was no match for Xiao Feng. Letting out a wierd howl, he abruptly floated out a number of zhang and requested: ‘Who’re you, sir? Why do you intervene with this?’

When Xiao Feng had not but replied, Yun Zhonghe known as: ‘Large bro, he is the previous Chief of the Beggar Society Qiao Feng. Your good disciple Soul Chasing Workers Tan Qing died by the hands of this villain.’

After these phrases had been mentioned, not solely was Duan Yanqing shocked, however even the extraordinary folks of Dali had been additionally shocked, and their expressions modified. The identify Qiao Feng resounded on the earth. There was nobody in wulin who had by no means heard of ‘North Qiao Feng, South Murong.’ However when he launched himself to Fu Sigui and Duan Zhengchun, he solely claimed to be ‘Xiao Feng, a Khitan.’ So, everybody didn’t know that he was the well-known Qiao Feng. Now, after listening to these phrases of Yun Zhonghe, all of them thought to themselves: ‘So it’s him. Chivalrous and courageous, he actually deserves his fame.’

Duan Yanqing had already heard Yun Zhonghe relate in particulars how not solely had his satisfying disciple Tan Qing did not hurt different folks at Juxian Manor however he had additionally been killed by Qiao Feng. At this second, listening to that the large fellow earlier than him was the killer of his disciple, he was each offended and anxious. He held out an iron cane and wrote on a bluestone flagstone: ‘Sir, what is the enmity between us? Having killed my disciple, now you have spoiled my necessary enterprise once more.’

‘Chi-chi’ sounds had been heard constantly, as if he was writing on sand. Each stroke of the 17 phrases went deep into the stone. When mixed with high-level inside power, his ventriloquism method may seize the hearts of different folks and blend up their minds. It was an especially formidable heterodox method. However this method merely used psychological drive to manage the enemy, if the enemy’s inside power cultivation was higher than his, he can be hurt by them. He already knew how Tan Qing had died, and now he noticed the abilities that Xiao Feng used to save lots of Duan Zhengchun, so he dared not rashly use his ventriloquism method to speak to Xiao Feng.

Seeing that Duan Yanqing had completed writing, Xiao Feng, with out saying something, walked ahead, pressed his foot towards the bottom and made a number of sweeps, instantly erasing utterly all of the 17 phrases on the flagstone. It was already very arduous for one man to make use of an iron cane to write down on a flagstone, however the different man used his foot to take away the phrases. This talent with the only of the foot was far more tough than concentrating inside power within the tip of the cane. With 1 individual writing and the opposite erasing, a bluestone flagstone on the lakeside path unexpectedly appeared similar to a seaside.

Seeing Xiao Feng erase these phrases, Duan Yanqing knew that, first, he needed to show his abilities, and second, he needed to say that there was no enmity between them, and that if he himself may ignore the antipathy that he had unintentionally precipitated up to now, then each of them ought to cease. Realizing that he himself was no match for Xiao Feng, Duan Yanqing thought it will be higher to get away as quickly as attainable, to keep away from tasting the current deficiencies. Utilizing the iron cane in his proper hand, he drew a stroke from the highest down directly, adopted by an upward stroke, expressing the intention of ‘writing off at one stroke.’ Then he instantly gave the bottom a poke with an iron cane, leaped backward, circled and went away as if floating.

South Sea Divine Alligator regarded Xiao Feng up and down together with his unusual eyes extensive open. His coronary heart stuffed with disrespect, he cursed: ‘Fvck, what’s so wonderful about this canine bastard…’ Earlier than he had completed saying, his physique abruptly rose into the air and flew in direction of the middle of the lake. A plop was heard when water was splashed on all sides on account of him falling into the lake.

Xiao Feng exceedingly hated being known as ‘bastard’ by different folks. Whereas nonetheless carrying Duan Zhengchun together with his left hand, he rushed over and threw South Sea Divine Alligator into the lake together with his proper hand. This motion of his was extraordinarily quick and didn’t enable South Sea Divine Alligator the smallest room for resisting.

South Sea Divine Alligator had lived on the South China Sea for a very long time, and known as himself ‘Divine Alligator’, so his swimming abilities had been actually glorious. Pushing his toes towards the underside of the lake, he jumped as much as the floor and cried: ‘How did you pull that?’ As he completed this sentence, his physique sunk to the underside once more. He pushed his toes towards the underside of the lake as soon as extra, jumped as much as the floor and cried: ‘You sneakily attacked your father!’ Ending this sentence, he sunk once more. Within the third time of leaping up, he cried: ‘Your father will not allow you to get away!’ His mood was extraordinarily irascible so he couldn’t wait till he had come ashore to begin cursing Xiao Feng. He saved leaping up, letting out a sentence of abuse and sinking.

A’Zi laughed and mentioned: ‘Everybody sees, this fellow emerges from the water and submerges. Would not he seem like an enormous black turtle (Play on phrases: black turtle = cuckold)?’ It occurred that South Sea Divine Alligator jumped as much as the floor proper on this second. Listening to she mentioned so, he cursed: ‘It is simply you who’re a black turtle…’ A’Zi raised her hand. A ‘chi’ sound was heard as she fired a flying axe at him. When the flying axe got here, South Sea Divine Alligator had already sunk to the underside of the lake.

South Sea Divine Alligator swam to the shore and climbed up, dripping moist. Unexpectedly, he was not afraid within the slightest. He walked as much as Xiao Feng overtly, tilted his head and glowered at him, saying: ‘What is the method you threw me into the lake with? Your father does not know this method.’ Ye Erniang, standing at a spot 7 or 8 zhang away, known as: ‘Third, go rapidly. Do not make a idiot of your self right here.’ South Sea Divine Alligator mentioned angrily: ‘I used to be thrown into the lake by him and do not even know the method he used. How can this not be a burning disgrace? After all I have to ask clearly.’

A’Zi mentioned very solemnly: ‘Alright, I am telling you. This method of his is named the ‘Turtle Throwing Ability’.’

South Sea Divine Alligator mentioned: ‘Oh, so it is known as the ‘Turtle Throwing Ability’. As I already know the identify of this talent, I am going to beg different folks to show it to me and prepare arduous in order that later I will not be at this drawback.’ As he completed saying, he left with fast steps. By now, Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe had already gone far.
