Volume 4: Blue Dragon Changes the World Chapter 196: Too much talk, let's fight
“Huh!”
With just one palm strike, Li Muchan's shoulders shook and his body trembled. He did not vomit blood nor fly backwards. He floated lightly as if carried by the breeze, swaying in the air. It was both magical and ingenious, and it was truly shocking.
Upon seeing this, the five men took turns to intercept him, using palm techniques, sword techniques, fists and legs. Their moves were fast, fierce and quick like lightning.
However, before the move was completed, a strong wind came first. Li Muchan, whose body was as light as paper, was lifted by the strong wind, swaying left and right, floating up and down, and actually squeezed out from the joint attack of the five people with no flaws.
The old man didn't pursue him. He withdrew his palms and put them behind his back. He looked at Li Muchan with great interest. Seeing how he could escape from this fatal attack with ease, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise him, "Wuxiang Divine Art? It's really a great skill."
Li Muchan floated several feet away, shook off the blood on his cloak, lifted his hood, and revealed his masked face.
His eyes were dark, but his tone was calm: "The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. We are old acquaintances. We should at least leave our names. Even if we die, we should die with our eyes closed."
The old man was wearing a plain white robe and a mask on his face. He nodded and said, "That makes sense. After all, I know your names, but you don't know who I am. It's a bit unfair."
He suddenly flicked his index finger lightly, and the wind from his finger broke through the air. A gangster who was driven out from the corridor fell straight down without a grunt, with a bloody hole on his forehead.
"Back then, I was Bai Yujing, the 'Eternal Sword'. Now, you can call me... Fourth Master Zhu."
The old man spoke in a gentle tone, especially the last three words, which he spoke very clearly.
"Zhu?"
Li Muchan’s face froze.
This surname is not ordinary. It is a thousand times more terrifying than those of the Shen family, the Li family, and the Xie family, just because the owner of this temple is surnamed Zhu.
The whole world is named Zhu, and the country is also named Zhu, which is the surname of the current emperor.
Fourth Master Zhu said with a smile, "The Wuxiang Divine Art. Back then, the Qinglong Society sent people to search the martial arts world for this art, even digging up the tombs of many martial arts masters. Although they found some clues, they still couldn't find the whereabouts of this art."
He looked at Li Muchan with admiration in his eyes, and the more he looked, the more he admired her.
Especially when he carefully counted Li Muchan's past experiences and understood them one by one, he couldn't help but be amazed.
Mr. Zhu Siye had seen many geniuses and prodigies, but in front of him, most of them were just supporting roles and became ordinary people.
He pondered for a moment and smiled faintly, "Most of the heroes in this world seem to be extremely talented and have extraordinary roots, but if you trace their roots, you will find that there are few who have not achieved their success by relying on the blessings left by their ancestors. Xie Xiaofeng is known as the 'Emperor of Swords', but the Xie family has been secretly operating and accumulating for nearly two hundred years; the Shen family has two heroes, and Shen Lang is even known as the 'No. 1 Hero in the World', but who would have thought that the Shen family is the oldest giant family in the martial arts world. Shangguan Xiaoxian has the foundation of the Money Gang, and Ye Kai has the unique skills of both good and evil..."
Mr. Zhu Si said this in one breath, paused, and said meaningfully: "It's you who made people miscalculate."
Li Muchan smiled: "So?"
Fourth Master Zhu also smiled: "I admire you very much, so I can give you another chance, just like that night."
Li Muchan narrowed his eyes and pondered, "You have been hiding in the dark for a long time. Now that your identity has been revealed, you don't even think of killing people to silence them?"
Fourth Master Zhu replied indifferently: "Since I have come here in person, I naturally intend to take the last step. Now all I have to do is to subdue the entire martial arts world and use it for my own benefit, and then I will be done."
Li Muchan was silent for a while, then said thoughtfully: "I want to know one more thing."
Fourth Master Zhu seemed very patient. He said slowly, "You go ahead."
Li Muchan asked, "What's going on with Shen Tianjun?"
Fourth Master Zhu seemed to have understood Li Muchan's intentions, but he still smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, and answered the question: "The Shen family is a family of nobles, and their ancestors have been officials for generations, but the rise and fall of dynasties in this world are unpredictable, let alone noble families. His Shen family has experienced seven declines and seven revival. Who do you think they relied on?"
At this point, Fourth Master Zhu suddenly let out a breath, "Didn't I just say that the Azure Dragon Society had secretly used the court to search for magical skills all over the world, and the ancestor of the Shen family was the one who did it. But there is an omission, that is Shen Tianjun's father, this person has mediocre martial arts talent, resigned from office in middle age and returned to his hometown, not caring about worldly affairs. But in fact, he had a chance to acquire a miraculous skill, and at the same time he was aware of the existence of the Azure Dragon Society. His retreat was fake, but in fact it was to protect himself, and also to practice hard to fight against us."
"Haha," Fourth Master Zhu suddenly laughed, "It's a pity that this person's aptitude is so poor that he can barely be considered average. After half a lifetime, he still hasn't figured out that amazing skill."
Li Muchan said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that he still has a son."
Fourth Master Zhu stopped laughing quickly, his eyes turned away, and he seemed to be stunned. He didn't move at all, and murmured, "Shen Tianjun!"
His tone suddenly became heavier, and his eyes changed. "This person is very wise but appears foolish. He is clever but not very smart. He was unknown before the age of 30, but only after that did he start to show his talent and become a master. After that, he became unstoppable. At the age of 42, he actually mastered the miraculous skill and met me at Huiyan Peak."
"The First Finger of the Universe?" Li Muchan said.
Fourth Master Zhu's eyes suddenly grew fierce. "You're wrong. That finger move is a unique skill that Shen Tianjun achieved after decades of practicing that extraordinary skill with all his heart and soul. And that extraordinary skill is in no way inferior to your Wuxiang Divine Art, nor is it inferior to Mingyu Gong. With just a wave of his hand, he can destroy all martial arts in the world... What a great Shen Tianjun... What a great King of Jiuzhou!"
At the end of his words, the man raised his voice and let out a long howl.
Li Muchan was startled and asked in a deep voice, "You lost?"
Fourth Master Zhu stared at Li Muchan and laughed loudly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I lost to him by half a move, but he lost his life. If I hadn't been seriously injured by his finger, there would be no Money Gang back then. Now that I have mastered the magic of wedding clothes, who in the world can fight me?"
Not to mention Li Muchan, even Gongsun Da Niang and the other four hall masters were now frightened by these unknown secrets of the martial arts world.
This little-known "King of Jiuzhou" Shen Tianjun actually has such ability.
Li Muchan suddenly felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and as if he was being stared at by some ferocious creature. His heart began to palpitate.
But his eyes were focused and he showed no intention of retreating.
Now everyone is busy with their own affairs. If such a strong man were to rush into the arena, no one would be able to stop him and everyone would die.
So, he must block it.
"ah!"
Suddenly, several screams were heard outside the palace.
Suddenly, several heads were seen tumbling in from outside the hall, and then a figure walked in with a limp.
This was also a young man, with water stains on his body, but he had walked out of the dark river.
With a pale face, a black scabbard, and a face as cold and resolute as stone, he walked in step by step amid the slightly changed eyes of the crowd.
There was no color on the young man's face, and there was more black than white in his eyes. In his hand was the Bai family's magic sword.
The person who came was Fu Hongxue.
Fu Hongxue glanced at the five people and said calmly, "I'll go help you after I take care of them five."
"good!"
Li Muchan took a deep breath and immediately let go of the wooden box in his hand.
Mr. Zhu Si suddenly seemed to have regained his previous calmness and composure. He smiled and said, "Is this your answer?"
"Of course I won't change." Li Muchan took off the mask on his face and laughed wildly. "Haha, half a move is a loss, one move is also a loss. No matter how strong you are, from now on, others will know that you lost to Shen Tianjun by half a move."
Fourth Master Zhu's eyes began to tremble: "Didn't you inherit his unique skills? If I kill you, I can defeat him."
When he said kill, there was murderous intent in his eyes.
Li Muchan jumped up without saying a word, rising up like a wisp of green smoke, breaking through the roof of the hall, leaving only a faint voice behind.
"Stop talking, let's fight!"
The Shen family is quite mysterious. It is considered another concept and has been roughly extended. If there is anything unreasonable, you can point it out. You can also leave more comments for your opinions.
