Chapter 56

Duan Yanqing, seeing that Duan Zhengchun was not in the Deaf-Mute Valley, finally fixed his gaze on Duan Yu and used ventriloquism to say, "It turns out it’s not Duan Zhengchun, but Duan Zhengchun’s little brat. However, since I can’t kill Duan Zhengchun today, killing this little brat will do just fine."

Duan Yu had not expected the Four Evils to call for a fight upon seeing him, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit angry.

"Hey, you evil person, what grudge do you have with my father? You can go to Dali and find him," Duan Yu shouted loudly. "But if you’re afraid to go to Dali and come to me instead, that’s not the way of a gentleman."

Duan Yu now spoke with some confidence. In this period, he had used the Northern Darkness Divine Skill to absorb the true qi of many martial artists and had also unblocked the Ren and Du meridians. Now, he was also a formidable expert. With the Six Pulse Divine Sword, he could even contend with a grandmaster martial artist.

Hearing Duan Yu’s words, many people laughed.

Duan Yanqing, the "Evil to the Core," was a great evil person, and someone actually called him a gentleman?

"Hehe, I am not a gentleman," Duan Yanqing said, directing a One Yang Finger force at Duan Yu.

Duan Yanqing’s martial arts were only at the first-class level, but he was the strongest among first-class martial artists, having reached the realm of a half-step grandmaster.

Xiao Huan, seeing Duan Yanqing directly attack, was somewhat angry that he didn’t care about her and Wang Yuyan. However, her martial arts were not a match for Duan Yanqing, so she could only pull Wang Yuyan away.

"Whatever you do to him, it’s none of our business," Xiao Huan thought to herself.

Xiao Huan did not want to get involved in the grudge between Duan Yanqing and Duan Yu. She believed that even if Wang Yue were here, he wouldn’t interfere in their affairs.

Duan Yu used the Lingbo Microstep to dodge the attack.

Su Xinghe was taken aback and thought, "Duan Yu is using my uncle Li Qiushui’s Lingbo Microstep. Could this kid be my uncle’s disciple?"

Duan Yanqing kept using the One Yang Finger, but Duan Yu only used the Lingbo Microstep to escape.

"Kid, did you only learn how to run away?" Duan Yanqing felt a bit embarrassed that he couldn’t hit Duan Yu.

Duan Yu said, "Alright, I won’t run. Do you really think I’m afraid of you? Watch my Six Pulse Divine Sword!"

Duan Yu used the Six Pulse Divine Sword, but no sword qi was emitted.

Duan Yanqing was also startled. The Six Pulse Divine Sword was the highest martial art of the Dali Duan family, and he couldn’t withstand it.

"Six Pulse Divine Sword?" Duan Yanqing sneered. "If you could learn the Six Pulse Divine Sword, I would be the emperor of Dali."

"Poof!"

A sharp sword qi appeared on Duan Yu’s finger and attacked Duan Yanqing.

Caught off guard, Duan Yanqing was hit directly by the sword qi.

The powerful sword qi instantly severely injured Duan Yanqing.

"You..." Duan Yanqing hadn’t expected Duan Yu to really know the Six Pulse Divine Sword.

Duan Yu looked at his finger and was very happy, laughing, "Haha, I didn’t expect my Six Pulse Divine Sword to work again. Hey, Duan Yanqing, you wanted to kill me, come on."

The fourth of the Four Evils, "Cloud Crane," supported Duan Yanqing and whispered, "Boss, I think we should give up. This kid’s lightness skill is excellent, and he knows the Six Pulse Divine Sword. Even if we all attack him together, we might not be able to handle him. If we want to kill this kid, we need to think of a better plan."

Duan Yanqing nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll let him live for a while longer."

...

Muru Fu stared at Duan Yu, thinking, "This kid’s martial arts have improved so quickly. It’s been such a short time, and he’s already become a grandmaster martial artist. I hope he won’t become my enemy in the future."

Duan Yu’s martial arts had already made Muru Fu wary.

...

Wang Yuyan whispered, "Duan Yu’s martial arts have reached the grandmaster level, which is truly incredible. But he still doesn’t know how to use true qi."

Xiao Huan said, "Madam, why do you care so much? Duan Yu doesn’t have good intentions towards you. We should stay away from him."

Xiao Huan, of course, knew that Duan Yu had feelings for Wang Yuyan, but Wang Yuyan was already Wang Yue’s wife, so there was no way she could have anything to do with Duan Yu.

To avoid causing any misunderstanding with Wang Yue, Xiao Huan thought it was best for Wang Yuyan to stay away from Duan Yu.

...

"The Deaf-Mute Valley has arrived. Uncle, as long as we find Doctor Xue, your poison can be cured," a young monk said to a high-ranking Shaolin monk.

Behind them were several monks of the Xu generation.

The young monk speaking was Xu Zhu, who had come down from Shaolin Temple.

"Hmm," Xuan Nan nodded, indicating he understood.

Entering the Deaf-Mute Valley, Xu Zhu immediately found Xue Muhua, "Doctor Xue, my uncle was poisoned by Ding Chunqiu. Only you can cure him. Please save my uncle."

Xue Muhua took Xuan Nan’s pulse and said seriously, "It’s the Corpse Poison. It’s really Ding Chunqiu. Master Xuan Nan, I will suppress the poison first. After I finish the matters in the Deaf-Mute Valley, I will cure you."

Xuan Nan nodded and said, "Thank you, Doctor."

Xue Muhua said to the surrounding martial artists, "Everyone, my master Cong Bian issued the invitation for this chess puzzle, hoping a young talent could solve it. If anyone is confident, please come and play."

Seeing that the surrounding martial artists were not going to play, Duan Yu laughed, "Since no one is coming, let this kid give it a try."

Duan Yu’s chess skills were very strong, and he was considered one of the best in Dali.

"The chess puzzle is indeed not simple."

Duan Yu had never seen such a difficult chess puzzle.

At that moment...

"Haha, Brother, it’s been decades, and you’re still setting up this chess puzzle," it was Ding Chunqiu’s voice.

"Master of the Xingxiu Sect, your power is boundless!"

Ding Chunqiu arrived at the Deaf-Mute Valley with his group of disciples. Standing behind Ding Chunqiu was not Zhaixingzi, but You Tanzhi with red hair.

Next to You Tanzhi was the blind Ajuzhu.

Su Xinghe laughed, "Ding Chunqiu, you, the traitor of the Xianyao Sect, dare to come back from the Xingxiu Sea?"

Ding Chunqiu sneered, "Why shouldn’t I come back? Not only is Wuyazi that old thief dead, but even if he were still alive, I, Ding Chunqiu, have already perfected the Muscle Wasting Technique and reached the grandmaster level. I’m not afraid of him. Today, I’m here to get the Northern Darkness Divine Skill. Brother, if you hand over the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, everything can be settled. I can spare your life. If you don’t agree, I will destroy the Xianyao Sect."

While playing chess with Su Xinghe, Duan Yu cursed in his heart, "Ding Chunqiu is truly a great evil person, even more despicable than Duan Yanqing, wanting to exterminate his own master and brother."

Su Xinghe said to Duan Yu, "Focus on the game."

"Yes, Senior," Duan Yu focused on the game.

...

Xiao Huan and Wang Yuyan were also surprised to see Ajuzhu and You Tanzhi.

They had received Xiao Feng’s message and had been paying attention to Ajuzhu’s news, but they didn’t expect Ajuzhu to come to the Deaf-Mute Valley.

"Ajuzhu," Wang Yuyan called out.

"Ajuzhu Sister," Xiao Huan also called out.

Hearing Wang Yuyan and Xiao Huan’s voices, Ajuzhu was pleasantly surprised, "Miss, Xiao Huan, is that you?"

Xiao Huan used her lightness skill to run towards Ajuzhu, intending to take her away, but was stopped by You Tanzhi.

"Clang..."

Xiao Huan drew her saber, pointing it at You Tanzhi, and shouted, "Red-haired boy, if you know what’s good for you, release Ajuzhu Sister now. Otherwise, you’ll regret it."

You Tanzhi sneered, "I, Zhuang Juxian, don’t fight women, but Ahzi can’t go with you. I’m the only one who can protect Ahzi. Leave quickly."

"Looking for death!"

Xiao Huan swung her saber at You Tanzhi.

You Tanzhi extended his palm, with blood-red true qi and pale green poison qi in his palm.

You Tanzhi used the Blood Nerve true qi to enhance the Corpse Poison.

Xiao Huan smelled a decaying and bloody odor, knowing it was highly toxic.

"Retreat."

Xiao Huan retreated.

But it was too late. You Tanzhi’s attack was very fast, and Xiao Huan’s steps couldn’t dodge it.

Xiao Huan held her saber in front of her.

"Ajuzhu Sister, don’t let Zhuang Juxian kill Xiao Huan," Ajuzhu shouted.

Hearing Ajuzhu’s voice, You Tanzhi withdrew half of his power.

"Bang!"

You Tanzhi’s palm struck Xiao Huan’s saber, pushing her back.

Xiao Huan was pushed back more than twenty meters, landing next to Wang Yuyan.

Xiao Huan felt a surge of blood in her chest and was shocked, "This red-haired boy is You Tanzhi? Why is he so powerful?"

You Tanzhi, now learning martial arts from Ding Chunqiu, was no longer a novice with only true qi.

Using the Blood Nerve true qi to enhance the Corpse Poison, his power was even greater than Ding Chunqiu’s.

Wang Yuyan, seeing You Tanzhi’s martial arts, frowned slightly, thinking, "I’ve never seen this You Tanzhi’s martial arts before. However, his martial arts are not in the same system as Daoist or Buddhist martial arts. Could this be the demonic martial arts that Yue Lang mentioned?"

Xiao Huan whispered to Wang Yuyan, "Madam, my martial arts are far inferior to You Tanzhi’s. I can’t save Ajuzhu Sister. What should we do? Should we ask the village chief to intervene?"

Wang Yuyan shook her head and said, "Not for now. Yue Lang is currently focused on reading the Xianyao Sect’s books and shouldn’t be distracted. Ajuzhu is safe with You Tanzhi for now. We’ll make a plan when Yue Lang is done. However, I’m worried about Ajuzhu’s eyes."

...

Seeing You Tanzhi, a first-class martial artist, push back Xiao Huan, Ding Chunqiu felt a bit jealous. "I’ve practiced for fifty or sixty years to become a grandmaster, and you, a kid not even twenty, have inner strength surpassing me. This is outrageous."

"Clap, clap..." Ding Chunqiu clapped and laughed, "Not bad, not bad. You’re a good disciple. Now, if anyone dares to oppose me, kill them for me. After this, I’ll find the elixir to treat Ahzi’s eyes."

You Tanzhi nodded and said, "Master, rest assured. No one dares to oppose you. If anyone does, I’ll kill them."

For "Ahzi," You Tanzhi didn’t mind killing.

...

In the library, Wang Yue had already read ninety percent of the Xianyao Sect’s books, including martial arts and medical books. He was now reading the "Taoist Scriptures" and "Miscellaneous Books."

The "Taoist Scriptures" mentioned the Daoist alchemy, but it was the Daoist Golden Elixir, not the Dan Qi in martial arts.

Although different, it still gave Wang Yue many insights. Now, he had a new understanding of Dan Qi.

"Unfortunately, the alchemy in these Taoist Scriptures is not complete," Wang Yue thought, "It seems I’ll have to go to Tianshan after this."

Wang Yue used his mental power to check on Xiao Huan and Wang Yuyan, and suddenly found that many martial arts heroes had arrived at the Deaf-Mute Valley, and Duan Yu was playing chess with Su Xinghe.

"Muru Fu, Ding Chunqiu, You Tanzhi, Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, and others are all here. It seems things are getting more interesting."

Seeing that Xiao Huan and Wang Yuyan were safe, Wang Yue focused on reading the books, determined to finish them as soon as possible.
