Chapter 84

Throbbing!

A feeling that makes one's heart involuntarily throb!

On the platform.

Li Mochou, the Crimson Serpent Fairy, stared blankly at Yue Yuan's golden-clad back, her eyes filled with tears in a daze.

Never!

Never before!

Li Mochou had never met a man who would face the world's heroes for her. Even Lu Zhanwen, who had once made her fall in love, did not make her heart throb like this.

Not to mention that later, Lu Zhanwen married He Yuanjun and betrayed his vows.

Even when she confronted him on the wedding day and tried to stop the marriage, she could only make a vow not to approach the Lu family manor for over a decade under Lu Zhanwen's slightly ashamed gaze.

From that day on, Lu Zhanwen became a demon in Li Mochou's heart. Her colorful attire was stained with blood from that day, and she was known as the Crimson Serpent Fairy in the martial world.

But at this moment—

Yue Yuan's actions left Li Mochou in a daze.

Compared to Yue Yuan, what did Lu Zhanwen's actions back then amount to?

That poem, and the words "I will bear it all," gave Li Mochou a heart-throbbing feeling. The domineering and resolute words made the Crimson Serpent Fairy momentarily lost in thought.

Guo Jing had Huang Rong, who went to the Peach Blossom Island for her, but what about Li Mochou?

No!

If Lu Zhanwen had been like this back then, things would not be as they are now.

If I had met you back then, how wonderful it would have been!

Staring blankly at Yue Yuan's back, Li Mochou suddenly realized that, at some point, this Taoist had already left an impression in her heart. Or perhaps, it was that night on the rooftop when Yue Yuan had already left a mark in her heart, and now, with those words "I will bear it all," the dust on that mark was wiped away, revealing the name inside.

My name is Yue Yuan, the Yue of mountain, the Yuan of fate.

...

Amidst the flying wood chips, as Yue Yuan's words "I will bear it all" echoed, the entire Lu family manor erupted in chaos, with the heroes of the martial world in a rage. This golden-robed Taoist was facing the world without hesitation!

Thus, the Lu family manor became a scene of commotion once again.

Countless martial artists cursed and scolded Yue Yuan, saying he was on the same path as the Crimson Serpent Fairy, using the harshest words imaginable.

But the enraged heroes had to admit that the young Taoist in golden robes had the most daring and fearless spirit in the world.

"..."

Guo Jing was silent. Even though he had expected it, he did not anticipate that Yue Yuan would answer so decisively, without any room for retreat.

"What a pity!"

Lifting his head, Guo Jing looked at Yue Yuan and sighed.

"Yes, what a pity!"

Like Guo Jing, Yue Yuan also sighed, but their sighs were for different reasons. Guo Jing sighed for Yue Yuan, while Yue Yuan sighed for Guo Jing. Ignoring the noisy curses and insults from the martial artists, Yue Yuan said:

"Then—"

With a flick of his robe, Guo Jing slowly extended his right hand and said solemnly, "Taoist Yue, I must apologize! I must uphold justice for these heroes!"

"Then... please!"

Facing Guo Jing's pressure, Yue Yuan knew that after taking on the Crimson Serpent Fairy's sins, this battle could not be avoided. However, after this battle, Yue Yuan would have a better chance to speak his mind. If this were not the world of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" but another world, Li Mochou's problem would be harder to solve, but now there was another method.

"I have always wanted to explore the famous Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms of Great Hero Guo!"

As he spoke, Yue Yuan moved, his golden figure gliding to Guo Jing's side and taking the first move.

Bang!

Fist and palm met, like a thunderclap on the ground. The entire platform trembled mysteriously.

Although Yue Yuan used his unparalleled lightness skill, their confrontation was a direct and hard clash. However, Yue Yuan was more on the offensive, while Guo Jing was mainly defensive.

Although Guo Jing's martial arts were high, his lightness skill was completely outmatched by Yue Yuan.

"Jing Gege!"

Below the platform, Huang Rong, though not worried on her face, was still concerned in her heart. After all, Yue Yuan's martial arts, as demonstrated by his ability to withstand Guo Jing's angry palm strike, were undoubtedly those of a top expert in the martial world.

Now, Yue Yuan's wind-like lightness skill amazed everyone even more.

More importantly, the sword still sheathed on the platform had not been drawn. Once Yue Yuan held that sword and combined it with his terrifying lightness skill, no one in the martial world could stop him.

The sword was too intimidating.

Seeing that Yue Yuan was not using the sword, Huang Rong let out a long sigh, easing her worries.

As for the Quanzhen sect members, the Wu brothers, Guo Fu, and Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü, they watched the confrontation on the platform with mixed feelings. The Heroic Assembly at the Lu family manor in Dashaiguan had taken a different turn, and some people felt that the atmosphere had changed.

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü were both surprised by Yue Yuan's sudden involvement.

However, they also felt that this was how things should have developed. For Yang Guo, the sword was definitely left for Li Mochou by Yue Yuan, while for Xiaolongnü, it was the silver bell that once belonged to her.

All of this... had been gradually revealed before today.

But Yang Guo never expected that Yue Yuan would want Li Mochou as a Daoist companion... Thinking of this, Yang Guo recalled the instructions of Hong Qigong and connected them with the current situation, suddenly understanding why Hong Qigong had given him such instructions before his death.

Yang Guo was certain that Hong Qigong must have had some interaction with Yue Yuan.

But thinking of how his aunt had been bullied by Li Mochou and how he himself had been injured by her several times, Yang Guo hesitated.

...

On the platform, the confrontation between Yue Yuan and Guo Jing continued.

The force of their clash pushed everyone around to the sides, even forcing Li Mochou to step back.

Bang!

Another dull sound, like an explosion, echoed in the air. The air currents spread, creating a strong wind. Under this blow, the corner of the platform where Guo Jing stood collapsed.

"Ah!"

Guo Jing, with his hands in a supporting position, received Yue Yuan's double palms from the air, his feet and knees sinking into the ground. The power, combined with his own strength, made Guo Jing's face turn red, and he was injured.

Humph!

With a muffled grunt, Guo Jing's palms shook, sending Yue Yuan flying back to the platform.

"Unrelated people, out!"

Kicking away Huo Du, who tried to steal the fallen Moon Deficiency Sword, Yue Yuan snatched the fan from his hand. As he spun and landed back on the platform, he held the fan in front of his face, half-covering it, and looked at Guo Jing, who was pulling his legs out of the ground.

I will never fight Guo Jing again!

I finally understand how Ouyang Feng felt when he fought Guo Jing. From start to finish, Guo Jing used only one defensive move, over and over again. It felt like "Let him be strong, the wind blows over the mountain. Let him be fierce, the moon shines on the river."

A straightforward and simple move!

But it was also the best defense against Yue Yuan's speed.

This fighting style left Yue Yuan quite helpless, but he did not want to draw the Moon Deficiency Sword, as it would completely lose control of the situation.

Squinting, a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, hidden by the fan. Feeling the taste of blood in his mouth, Yue Yuan licked the blood away and swallowed it.

Moreover, I can't let anyone know I'm injured!

Gently waving the fan, Yue Yuan revealed a smile beneath it, a gentle and warm smile, and said, "Actually, Great Hero Guo, I have another way to resolve this situation!"
