Volume 1: Wild Beasts, Changes Begin Chapter 43 Strength and Qi
It was late at night, and Fang Yunhan was standing in the garden of Changluo Marquis Mansion.
This garden was destroyed by a giant python a few days ago, so we simply decided not to transplant the flowers for the time being. Now it is just a pile of compacted loess.
Fang Yunhan has been living in this garden recently. This place is actually quite remote. It used to be a quiet place specially separated from the Marquis’ Mansion for him to recuperate. Now it has become the “hunting ground” specially selected by Fang Yunhan.
That’s right, after these seven days, Fang Yunhan already knew the purpose of the special protection that the martial arts character template gave him.
——That is, to make himself into a particularly attractive bait for , so that those mutant creatures will come to him on their own.
During these seven days, at first only mutated rats, wild cats, and weasels sneaked into the mansion, but later even foxes and pythons appeared.
Fang Yunhan has been thinking about this these past two days. If the impact range of this special protection is too large and mutant creatures continue to appear in large numbers, it would be better for him to move out of the mansion and find a secluded wilderness place to live in first.
"Prince."
Ziyun came carefully holding a bowl, and after entering the garden, she smiled, "I made some pepper pork belly soup, have some to warm you up."
"Didn't I tell you to go and rest a long time ago?" Fang Yunhan took the bowl of soup and said, "If you don't sleep well at such a young age, you won't grow tall in the future."
"I know. I just happened to remember that Chef Zheng has prepared some pork belly in the kitchen." Ziyun put the tray under his armpit and said expectantly, "Chef Zheng said that I have better control over the heat recently. You can try it."
"Today I just happened to think of pig's stomach, yesterday I just happened to think of bird's nest, and the day before yesterday I just happened to think of pigeon." Fang Yunhan stretched out his hand and flicked Ziyun's forehead, "You, if you don't listen next time, I won't drink any soup."
"I'll remember it!"
Ziyun watched Fang Yunhan finish his soup, collect the bowl, and walk out of the garden.
Outside the garden is a corridor, and next to the corridor is a lotus pond. The night wind becomes gentle when it reaches here, blowing through the lotus leaves in a lingering and uncertain manner. As the lotus shadows sway, one or two bright-colored brocade fish occasionally swim by in the water.
The world is quiet, with only the sound of water and gentle wind.
As Ziyun walked, she began to jump up and down and hum a little tune, thinking that the prince had already selected a master of archery for her two days ago, and she could officially start practicing tomorrow.
Later, when I have become more proficient, I will shoot a pigeon myself to make soup for the prince.
"My little beauty, why are you here alone in the middle of the night?"
A low, strange male voice suddenly appeared.
who?
The word Ziyun said did not make any sound because her neck was already stuck by a hand.
After Gu Yunfei grabbed the little girl's neck with his right hand, he smiled.
Once the sides of a person's neck are clamped tightly, their limbs will be unable to move and they will be unable to struggle. Although Gu Yunfei did not know the reason behind it, his method was based on his accumulated experience. It could prevent a person from suffocating quickly, but would make him unable to resist and unable to shout out loudly.
The tray and soup bowl in the little girl's hands also fell to the ground because her hands were too weak.
Gu Yunfei only used his toes to pick them up twice, and the tray and soup bowl rotated on his toes one after another, and then slid to the ground at his feet like silk, making only a slight sound like a beetle falling to the ground.
Ziyun looked at the middle-aged man in brown tights with an extremely disgusting smile, and said in a low voice: "Little girl, you are delicate and tender, and you look good, but I am not in a hurry to play with you now. As long as you tell me which room the owner of this place lives in, I will not kill you."
Gu Yunfei's face moved closer to Ziyun, "Come on, tell me."
"If you want to know, why not ask me."
A voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Gu Yunfei turned his head in horror. Before he turned his head, his left hand had already swung out like a flexible sword blade, and at the same time, his feet were slightly bent, ready to exert force and move.
But there was nothing behind him.
That was just an illusion created by Fang Yunhan using his internal force to transmit sound to the other side.
Just as Gu Yunfei turned his head, Fang Yunhan had already come to Ziyun from the garden, and with one hand like a knife, he chopped Gu Yunfei's right arm.
When this palm strike came down, both of them were startled.
Fang Yunhan felt as if he had hit a giant loach as tough as iron, or as if he had encountered a fleeting candle flame. He had hit his palm firmly but the internal force in his hand had not yet been fully released. In a flash, the man's arm had quickly bounced away.
Gu Yunfei felt as if he was chopped on the hand by a big Guandao, forcing him to immediately relax his strength, let go of the little girl's neck, and retract his hand as quickly as possible. If he was a second late, his arm would probably be cut off.
Even though he retracted his hand quickly, there was still a strange burning sensation spreading from the place where he was hit to his shoulders and heart.
Gu Yunfei quickly puffed out his cheeks and exhaled. His breathing moved the muscles in his chest, along with his entire right arm, as if the flesh and blood made up of hundreds of loaches, which suddenly squirmed. The movement of the flesh and blood inside and outside finally offset the burning sensation.
Although Fang Yunhan was shocked, he did not hesitate. While saving Ziyun, he slapped Gu Yunfei on the head.
He used the power of a palm from a distance. Before his palm hit Gu Yunfei, an invisible force as strong as a whirlwind surrounded Gu Yunfei's head, as if it was going to crush Gu Yunfei's head.
Gu Yunfei was startled but not panicked, and his neck suddenly shrank downwards.
What normal people call shrinking their necks is actually just shrugging their shoulders upwards, covering their necks.
But when Gu Yunfei retracted his neck, his cervical bones and muscles were seriously deformed, and they shrunk into his chest cavity. His chin was directly connected to his collarbone, and at the same time, the back of his head pressed against his shoulder blades, making his head much shorter and out of the power of Fang Yunhan's palm.
Almost at the same time as he retracted his neck, Gu Yunfei lowered his body close to the ground, bent his legs to the limit, and with a bounce, his whole body slid back nearly twenty meters like a fish that was thrown out of the water by a strong man, then jumped up from the ground and stood firm.
"What is that burning feeling? How can your boxing technique have such a strong effect on the wind? This wonderful technique, this mysterious power, must have evolved over thousands of years. Why have I never heard of this kind of boxing technique?"
After this round of fighting, Gu Yunfei no longer had eyes for the pretty little beauty, nor did he care about the treasures of the Changluo Marquis Mansion. He asked questions one after another, enthusiastically asking, "What kind of kung fu do you have?"
There are so many strange things in the world. After a flower-stealing thief was caught, he did not immediately think of escaping, but asked others about their martial arts.
In fact, Gu Yunfei is a man who is first lustful and secondly martial.
Whenever he saw a beautiful woman or someone with unique looks, he would be overwhelmed with lust and want to have physical contact with her, thus becoming a notorious and unforgivable flower thief.
He stole far more frequently than he picked flowers, and used almost all of the proceeds from the thefts to practice martial arts.
Because in this world, if you want to achieve success in martial arts, the first and most important thing is to have the determination and patience to practice hard. The second most important thing is to have sufficient precious medicinal materials and excellent prescriptions to repair the injuries during practice, and to provide sufficient nutrition for growth.
As for those sophisticated training and fighting methods, they are ranked third or fourth in importance.
But he wanted to discuss martial arts, but Fang Yunhan had no interest in accommodating his enemy's topic. He just said coldly: "You broke into the mansion at night, offended a decent girl, and used a killing move without hesitation. It seems that you are a habitual flower-stealing offender, and you have killed many people."
Gu Yunfei sniffed his nose, and the deep wrinkles on his nose made him feel like a cold-blooded animal wriggling. He snorted, "So what?"
"Then you can die."
When Ziyun heard this, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shake, and then his whole body was sucked forward by a sudden gust of wind, and he almost lost his balance.
The figure of the prince standing in front of him suddenly shrank and went away.
