Chapter 129 Breaking the Void, Seeing the Indestructible God
After leaving Jiangdu with tens of thousands of Xiaoguo Army weapons, Ni Kun and his party first went to Hailing County for a tour, visited Li Zitong's territory, and took away some land properties with the mustard seed ring.
Then we went straight to Shouchun to pay tribute to the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Feishui.
After wandering around the Jianghuai Army territory for a while, he also took away some local specialties.
While paying tribute to the ancient battlefield site of the Battle of Feishui, Ni Kun indeed discovered several areas with unusually strong golden evil energy. Just like a gourmet encountering delicious food, he lingered there for several days, absorbing all the golden evil energy that had been accumulated for years before continuing on his way.
After that, we headed north to the Central Plains.
Throughout the ages, the most major wars took place in the Central Plains, north and south of the Yellow River, and there are ancient battlefield sites everywhere.
Such as the Battle of Julu, the Battle of Kunyang, the Battle of Guandu and so on.
Ni Kun also benefited a lot in the Central Plains. Although he had not yet received the "mysterious key" to transform himself into a golden spirit bloodline, he had already initially refined the Blood Evil Sword and cultivated several Blood Evil Sword Auras.
Now that they have arrived in the Central Plains, they naturally want to visit Xingyang City, where the Wagang Army is entrenched.
When watching TV dramas in his previous life, Ni Kun was also very familiar with the names of the Wagang heroes.
Ni Kun and his delegation arrived in Xingyang last night.
After arriving, he first took a tour of Li Mi's elite old camp, the "Pushan Public Camp", and made a small contribution to world peace and cessation of war.
I entered the city at dawn, found an inn and rested for half a day. I came out for lunch at noon and happened to see the "Duan Shui Liu Martial Arts Hall".
When seeing the three famous words "Duan Shuiliu", Ni Kun couldn't help but think of the gentle and sweet-spoken image of Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu, and he even felt a little familiar for a moment.
He is the grandmaster of the pretentious world!
Ni Kun learned a lot from him.
So when Qianqian proposed to challenge him, Ni Kun smiled and shook his head:
"Xingyang is an important base of the Wagang Army, and many lawless martial artists come and go.
“Since this martial arts school has not been picked up by anyone until now, I think it must be quite capable.
"What's wrong with being a little arrogant?
"Perhaps this martial arts school uses this as a selling point to attract those passionate young people who are obsessed with the idea of 'I am the best in the world' to come and learn martial arts."
While speaking, he was also thinking in his heart: It was clearly Duan Shui Liu Karate, why did it become Duan Shui Liu Martial Arts Hall?
Could it be... that he traveled through time after being defeated by Invincible Hot Wheels?
Have you been completely conquered by ancient Chinese martial arts and returned to your roots, making karate the national martial art?
After listening to this, Xianxian seemed to be thinking:
"Using arrogance as a selling point? Well, it can indeed attract many young people who don't know the immensity of the world...
"But if you are so arrogant, aren't you afraid that those martial artists who are good at using weapons will come to challenge you?"
Ni Kun smiled and said:
" Again, the owner of the gym must be really capable... Look, isn't there someone here to challenge the owner? It's a good opportunity to see what the owner is really capable of."
As he was speaking, a group of martial arts men with swords and knives came to the door of the martial arts hall in a menacing manner, pointing at the door and shouting:
"Get out here, you bastard who cut off the flow of water!"
"Come out now and die!"
"Xingyang City won't tolerate your arrogance. If you don't come out, I'll destroy your martial arts school!"
Amid the shouting and cursing, passers-by on the street flocked over to watch, and soon the huge street was blocked by crowds of people inside and outside.
On the buildings on both sides, some people opened their windows, looked out, pointed, and talked.
In the restaurant where Ni Kun and others were, there were also drinkers who laughed and said:
"These warriors are all masters of the martial arts schools in the city who teach weapon skills. Duan Shuiliu claimed that only those with bare hands are heroes, and those who wield swords and guns are cowards. This has angered everyone!"
"Even if you open a martial arts school and recruit disciples, you should emphasize that everyone relies on their own abilities and that harmony brings wealth. How can you be like Master Duan Shuiliu, who steps on others to show off his power? It's not surprising that he has aroused public anger."
"But Master Duan Shuiliu's boxing and kicking skills are also really amazing. He has opened his school here for more than a month. Occasionally, there are martial artists passing by who are dissatisfied with his underestimation of weapon skills and come to challenge him, but none of them end up well..."
"That's because he hasn't met a true master yet. A true first-rate master wouldn't bother to argue with a low-ranking martial artist like him who runs a martial arts school."
"That's right. A true first-rate master would either establish a school and become a powerful figure in the region, or join a large force as a guest official and enjoy wealth and luxury. How could he fall to the point of opening a martial arts school to teach boxing to make a living?"
"So the martial arts skills of these martial arts masters who teach weapons are just average?"
"It's great to have second-rate martial arts!"
"Can you defeat Master Duan Shuiliu?"
"It's hard to say. After all, Master Duan Shuiliu is just a martial arts master. Even top masters don't bother to argue with him..."
As he was speaking, a handsome young man wearing a warrior's uniform and a hero's scarf on his head walked out of the martial arts hall. He had an upright posture, a standard body shape, and an elegant smile on his face.
"I am the master of Duan Shui Liu Pavilion."
This elegant young man stood at the entrance of the martial arts hall and bowed to everyone in front of the door:
"I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you, my dear guests, and for being disrespectful and impolite."
Seeing this young man so elegant and easy-going, and being able to remain polite even when being pointed at and scolded, Qianqian couldn't help but wonder:
"The owner of the Duanshuiliu Pavilion seems to be very gentle and easy-going, not arrogant at all. Why would he hang such an arrogant couplet in front of his door?"
Ni Kun laughed:
"Don't judge a book by its cover. Just keep reading and you'll know the truth."
After saying this, he continued watching the show while drinking his wine.
Kanan and Bai Qing'er leaned on the window and watched curiously.
Zhu Yuyan and Wen Caiting were a little more reserved. They stood at the window next to Ni Kun, straight and looking down.
The onlookers on the street below couldn't help but cheer secretly when they saw that the owner of Duan Shuiliu Pavilion was so gentle and polite, with a good figure and handsome appearance.
Several young girls who were thinking about love even flirted with the owner of Duan Shuiliu Pavilion, looking as if they were completely in love with him.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the society was open-minded and girls would dare to pursue handsome guys actively when they saw them.
However, the martial arts masters who challenged him did not appreciate the kindness of the Duan Shui Liu master. A burly man with a big sword stepped out from the crowd, pointed at the Duan Shui Liu master and shouted:
"You foreign barbarian, we allowed you to open a school in Xingyang for the sake of our fellow martial artists, and gave you a living. Who would have thought that you would be so arrogant and ignorant, slandering us experts in weapons, and claiming that fists and feet are the right way... If you don't remove the couplet at the door today, set up a drink to apologize, and return our disciples, you will be in big trouble!"
The master of Duanshuiliu Pavilion smiled and said:
"Why is this master so angry? We can discuss it..."
A martial arts master holding a pair of pistols said coldly:
"There's nothing to discuss! We came here together today, not to argue with you!
"Today you either take the initiative to remove the couplets, hold a banquet to apologize, and return the disciples you have robbed, or you fight with us and see who's the real deal!"
The master of Duanshuiliu Pavilion still smiled elegantly:
“It seems that you all have a deep misunderstanding of me.
"I really have never snatched your disciples away. It was because you saw that I was a skilled martial artist, while your masters' martial arts were really not good enough that you switched to my martial arts school. I really didn't mean to snatch them away by force..."
"What did you say?" The knife-wielding man's eyes widened in anger. "How dare you say that our martial arts are unsightly?"
The man holding the pistol also had a livid expression on his face:
"Duan Shuiliu, you are too arrogant! Come on, fight me and let me learn your Kung Fu!"
The owner of Duanshuiliu looked embarrassed:
"Well, how about you all follow me in first, and then we can have a good demonstration behind closed doors?"
The man holding the knife looked disdainful:
"Humph, are you afraid of being beaten to a pulp by us in public and being embarrassed?"
"Don't get me wrong." Master Duan Shuiliu said sincerely, "I am afraid that I will beat you all to a pulp and make you lose face. In front of everyone, it will be confirmed that you are all garbage."
“…”
The martial arts masters were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
The onlookers were also stunned. They didn't expect that the owner of Duan Shuiliu Pavilion could say such words in such a gentle and elegant manner.
K'an K'an also widened her eyes and said in surprise:
"You can't judge a person by his appearance! This guy looks easygoing, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant!"
Bai Qing'er nodded: "She has a very poisonous tongue. How did such a vicious person survive until now?"
It was rare for Xianxian to reach an agreement with her junior sister and nodded:
"Yes, he was not beaten to death early, and lived to this age safely. He is really a rare flower."
At this time, those martial arts masters who were mocked by the master of Duan Shuiliu finally couldn't hold back and started to attack.
The big man holding the knife roared angrily, took a step forward, and split Huashan with one move. The big knife swung out an arc of light, brought with it a fierce wind, and cut the owner of Shuiliu Pavilion in half.
Seeing this knife, Qianqian commented with a smile:
"Based on this one strike alone, this person's swordsmanship can be considered second-rate."
Before he finished his words, he saw the master of Duanshuiliu Pavilion advance instead of retreat. He moved his feet and took the initiative to rush towards the knife light that was chopping down with force. At the same time, he punched out, hitting the blade directly.
When he threw the punch, his fist expanded like air, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a giant fist with bluish-black skin, thick joints, and bulging tendons.
Then the fist collided violently with the steel knife, and with a clang, the thick-backed steel knife was broken by one punch. The remaining force of the blue-black giant fist continued, and it hit the big man's chest hard.
Bang!
Amidst the dull sound of explosion.
The big man opened his mouth and spurted out a puff of blood mist. A fist-shaped hole exploded in his clothes on his back. His huge body flew backwards and fell the crowd.
Upon seeing this, Ni Kun let out a light exclamation, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The changes in Brother Duan Shuiliu's fists seemed quite extraordinary, and his strength had greatly improved compared to the original level.
Although the original senior brother Duan Shuiliu was strong, he probably didn't dare to fight against the second-rate warrior's steel knife with his bare fists.
So Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu also received a wave of reinforcements?
Just as he was wondering, several other martial arts masters also took action, attacking the master of Duanshuiliu with several weapons including pistols, broadswords, and long swords.
The owner of Duanshuiliu Pavilion was not in a hurry. He shouted and his skin vibrated all over his body. His joints made crackling sounds and air surged. His body suddenly expanded and turned into a little giant who was over two meters tall, with twisted muscles all over his body and skin as dark as iron.
As his body shape changed, his warrior attire became torn and exposed everywhere.
But instead of making people laugh, that huge and powerful body gave people a fierce and intimidating aura like a primitive beast, causing the onlookers to exclaim in surprise and step back involuntarily.
Those martial arts masters were also shocked by the change in the master of Duan Shui Liu, but they still gritted their teeth and continued the siege.
After the master of Duanshuiliu transformed, he used his fists and feet to block all kinds of weapons, and with just a wave of his hand, he smashed all the weapons of several martial arts masters. Then he casually punched, swept his arms, kicked, and kneeled, and knocked all the martial arts masters to the ground in a few moves.
The fight was over so quickly, and the size contrast made the scene look like an adult casually beating up a child.
After quickly dealing with several martial arts masters who came to challenge him, the head of Duanshuiliu maintained his little giant form, clasped his fists, bowed, and said in a voice as heavy as thunder:
"I am the master of Duan Shui Liu. I teach Duan Shui Liu martial arts. I teach everyone and never hide anything from others. I am currently recruiting ten more disciples. The number of places is limited, so please sign up as soon as possible!"
After saying this, he bowed to everyone and turned back to the martial arts hall.
The onlookers were stunned for a moment, then suddenly started to riot and rushed into the martial arts hall, some to sign up to learn martial arts themselves, or to sign up their own sons.
"Master, what's wrong with the Master of the Broken Water Stream? He clearly doesn't have any internal energy, so how can he be so strong? A second-rate warrior is no match for him in one round...
"I feel that even with my current martial arts skills, my chances of winning are probably only 50-50."
Kanan's tone sounded a little surprised.
"Xian'er, you can beat him." Zhu Yuyan's eyesight and perception are stronger, and her judgment is more accurate:
"Although this person's explosive power is strong, his physical training skills are still inferior to those of human immortal martial arts. When his qi and blood burst out, his breath is fierce but lacks flexibility, just like oil boiling over a raging fire. His endurance is slightly inferior to that of human immortal martial arts.
"If you fight him, you can first use your body skills to deal with him, and use the Heavenly Demon Force Field to wear down his physical strength until his explosive period is over. Even if you have little power left, you can still defeat him with the physique cultivated by the Human Immortal Martial Arts."
Kanan nodded, looking eager to try.
Bai Qing'er asked, "Sir, what's going on with the change in the figure of the Master of Duanshuiliu? Could it be that he is a demon?"
“It’s not a demon.”
Ni Kun frowned slightly, looking at the crowded Duanshuiliu Martial Arts Hall, and said softly:
"The master of the Duanshuiliu Pavilion practices external skills purely and has already mastered them to a very high level..."
If he was not mistaken, the martial arts of Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu had already reached the realm of "breaking the void and seeing the indestructible gods" in Chinese martial arts.
It is precisely because of this that he can change his body shape, fight against sharp swords and knives with his bare hands, and his every move is unstoppable and terrifying.
"It seems that Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu also gained good fortune during his 'transmigration' and became much stronger. He can cultivate to the level of breaking through the void and seeing the indestructible gods. It is probably not enough to rely on Duan Shuiliu martial arts alone. He must have the secret body-building skills of the national martial arts."
Ni Kun pondered in his heart, feeling delighted at the sight of prey, and thought about going to challenge him and refreshing his list of skills.
