"Alas, to be honest, regarding the incident with Senior Brother Li Jianyin the day before yesterday, the three of us brothers also feel very guilty," Chu Yang sighed deeply, his emotions showing on his face. "Therefore, for your visit today, our Senior Brother did not resist, allowing you to vent your anger, which can be considered a resolution to that matter."
He said with a tone of frustration: "But... a tough man may be beaten nine times but not the tenth, you really shouldn't have caused such a disturbance in the Purple Bamboo Garden, acting so arrogantly! Tell me, by doing this, where does it leave the prestige of our Purple Bamboo Garden?"
These words left everyone in front of him speechless, almost to the point of spitting blood. The three people secretly observing from inside the Purple Bamboo Garden also felt a surge of anger!
Can a person be so shameless?
Even if you take advantage, you shouldn't act so shamelessly...
"Look, I have already easily defeated Qu Ping with my skills. What about the skills of our Senior Brother Shi Qianshan? He is several times stronger than me!" Chu Yang said angrily and with a sense of grievance: "Senior Brother's martial arts far surpass yours, yet he did not resist and let you vent your anger. What more do you want? Do you have to kill him?"
After these words, Liu Yunyan and the others looked at the unconscious Shi Qianshan with more caution!
Indeed, if the junior brother's skills are already so advanced, how could Senior Brother Shi Qianshan be weak?
It seems that in this competition for the position of Senior Brother, Shi Qianshan will be a formidable opponent...
"Now, you have injured one of us, and I have also helped you a great deal. Although we have suffered some losses, I am repaying kindness with kindness. Besides, we are all brothers in the same sect, what problems can't be resolved? This matter... can be considered settled." Chu Yang said magnanimously: "For the sake of Second Master, I will not hold it against you."
Liu Yunyan and the others felt stars in their eyes, almost unable to catch their breath, and nearly fainted on the spot.
You have beaten someone to a bloody pulp, and you have the nerve to say 'let's just call it even'... Moreover, you speak as if you are granting a great favor, and you even mention 'for the sake of Second Master'...
"Of course, if you brothers also want my help, I will not refuse. I have always believed that helping others is a virtue. I always remember this teaching from our sect."
Chu Yang smiled sheepishly: "It's a bit embarrassing to say, but that's just who I am. I am always ready to help others, to alleviate their worries and difficulties, especially for my fellow sect brothers, who are like family... Yes, I would even risk my life to help..."
Liu Yunyan and the others looked at the beaten Qu Ping on the ground and shuddered. This is help... Help your head off... We are not fools...
The others all looked at Liu Yunyan's face, clearly waiting for his decision.
But Liu Yunyan was in a difficult position. Although he ranked in the top ten and his skills were far superior to Qu Ping, after seeing Chu Yang's battle, he knew he would not be a match for Chu Yang!
Such a bizarre fighting style would also put him at a great disadvantage!
If he were to step forward and also lose... that would be a devastating blow to his sect!
Moreover, he couldn't afford to lose face.
"Chu Yang, well played! Let's call it even for today!" Liu Yunyan thought for a moment, made a quick decision, and said with a dark tone: "The mountains may not turn, but the rivers will. The Eighth Generation Disciple Ranking Battle of the Heavenly Tower is about to begin. At that time, our Cloud Gathering Peak and Purple Bamboo Garden will surely meet. We will settle this in front of the entire sect!"
"Let's go!" The seven people lifted Qu Ping and returned the same way. As they left, their looks at Chu Yang were filled with new meanings: fear, caution...
In the sect, who would really use such harsh methods? Even when beating Shi Qianshan, they were very measured, not fatal, not crippling, just breaking a few ribs and leg bones, making him suffer to vent their anger...
But when Chu Yang acted, he pierced through both limbs! Such determination and ruthlessness were something no one dared to use!
Chu Yang watched the seven figures disappear into the distance, his face dark, his eyes heavy.
This battle, Chu Yang won decisively. There was no doubt about it!
But no one knew that Chu Yang had found his own weakness in this battle.
In this battle, Chu Yang relied entirely on technique and experience! There was no denying that Chu Yang's technique and experience were decades ahead of Liu Yunyan and Qu Ping. He could always take preemptive action and gain the upper hand when they made a move!
Chu Yang always thought that although they were more powerful, he could defeat them with his experience and technique without any difficulty.
But this battle made him realize he was wrong!
Technique and experience do not represent everything.
For example, when Qu Ping, in a fit of rage, thrust a sword at his chest, Chu Yang knew that by placing his finger a few inches behind the tip of the sword, he could deflect it to the side, exposing a large opening, and then kick the dantian with a powerful kick!
In fact, he did just that. But when his finger touched the sword, even half of his palm, he couldn't deflect it!
Although Qu Ping was only a Second-Class Warrior, he was far superior to Chu Yang, a Third-Class Martial Disciple. With Chu Yang's current strength, even using clever techniques, he was no match in a direct confrontation!
So Chu Yang had no choice but to use his sword! Because with his current strength, he couldn't harm Qu Ping with just his fists and feet!
From the outside, Chu Yang's Cloud Snow Steps were versatile and graceful, seemingly having plenty of room to spare against Qu Ping, requiring no effort at all. But no one knew the heaviness in Chu Yang's heart.
Even Qu Ping himself didn't know how many times Chu Yang had tested him during the short fight, how many strategies he had changed. The fact that Chu Yang used his sword was already a point of pride for Qu Ping.
Even after using the sword, Chu Yang didn't dare to hold back. If he did, he would suffer a fierce counterattack from the other side! And at that moment, with his sword already out, he couldn't defend himself.
The Cloud Snow Steps, when practiced to perfection, make it impossible for others to attack you, but when you attack others, you will inevitably expose a weakness! Qu Ping couldn't seize such an opportunity, but that doesn't mean others couldn't!
Dodging is absolutely skillful, but dodging alone can never win. The only way to win is to attack. But once you attack, you can't maintain that flawless state, and there will inevitably be weaknesses.
Everything is reciprocal. When you attack someone's vital points, your own vital points are also exposed to their attack!
Chu Yang felt a chill. His eyes flashed with enthusiasm: Strength! That's what matters!
Technique is only effective against opponents of the same level or slightly different. But in the face of absolute strength, technique is just a joke!
And strength is exactly what Chu Yang lacks now.
Tantan stood to the side, already stunned. He suddenly shouted excitedly: "Chu Yang, you are really... so... cool..."
After thinking for a moment, he added: "Except for being a little less cool than me..."
"Cool... hmm..." Chu Yang snorted: "Tantan, starting tomorrow, I will wake you up every morning to practice with me. I hope that one day I will be as cool as you!"
Tantan's face turned bitter: "You... you are already cooler than me, isn't that enough?"
Chu Yang smiled: "Tantan, look, the Heavenly Tower is full of people who bully the weak and fear the strong, who can cause trouble but not support. The sect is about to start a major competition, and from these people, they will select those who can inherit the Heavenly Tower..."
Chu Yang's voice rose slightly, as if intentionally speaking to someone, his tone filled with sarcasm and a pointed cold laugh: "The heavy burden of the Heavenly Tower will eventually fall on these people, but can these people protect the Heavenly Tower? The disaster of the sect's destruction is imminent! Tantan, I hope you can stand up and protect yourself, rather than being dragged down and losing your life!"
