Chapter 95

Dongfang Bubai faced Wang Yue's questioning, her eyes showing a hint of panic. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, the fact that she had obtained the Lesser Wu Xiang Gong and the Neijia Quan from her younger sister "Wang Qian" was true.

A cultivation method that could keep one young, something Dongfang Bubai had never heard of before.

Although Dongfang Bubai looked young, appearing to be only in her twenties, this was due to her pure true qi and good maintenance.

Any grandmaster martial artist could see through her true age.

In the past two years, Dongfang Bubai had noticed that her appearance was beginning to show signs of aging, and no matter how she used her true qi to maintain it, it was useless. She knew that her youthful appearance would not last much longer, perhaps three or five years.

But Wang Yue was different. Compared to other teenagers around seventeen or eighteen, his breathing and heart rate were no different.

Wang Yue was a teenager.

With her grandmaster-level eyesight, Dongfang Bubai could not discern Wang Yue's true age at all. If she did not know Wang Yue's background and that he was already twenty-eight years old, she would never believe anyone who told her his true age.

For someone to resist the passage of time! This was truly incredible.

Dongfang Bubai looked at Wang Yue and said, "Wang Yue, I did indeed obtain the Lesser Wu Xiang Gong and the Neijia Quan from my younger sister. However, it was unintentional. I was just very curious about what kind of martial arts you were cultivating, which were so miraculous. I didn't intend to obtain them. After all, at the time, I thought the *Jade Maiden Scripture* and the *Mystic Palm* were already the most powerful martial arts in the world, so there was no need to learn other martial arts."

Dongfang Bubai was telling the truth. At the time, she truly did not intend to obtain the Lesser Wu Xiang Gong and the Neijia Quan. If her younger sister had only mentioned the names of these martial arts and not explained the cultivation methods, Dongfang Bubai would not have pursued it. But who would have thought that her younger sister, being so innocent, would blurt out the cultivation methods of the Lesser Wu Xiang Gong and the Neijia Quan in one go. Afterward, she even asked Dongfang Bubai for advice on where she was doing it wrong.

In this way, it was impossible for Dongfang Bubai not to know the cultivation methods of the Lesser Wu Xiang Gong and the Neijia Quan.

As a martial artist, Dongfang Bubai had a very low resistance to profound martial arts. Otherwise, she would not have gone to great lengths to obtain the *Jade Maiden Scripture* and the *Mystic Palm* in the past.

Having obtained the Lesser Wu Xiang Gong and the Neijia Quan, Dongfang Bubai could not resist the temptation and immediately began cultivating them upon returning to Blackwood Cliff.

Only after cultivating them did Dongfang Bubai realize how powerful these martial arts were.

The Lesser Wu Xiang Gong and the Neijia Quan were no less powerful than the Shaolin *Sinew Metamorphosis Sutra*. The *Sinew Metamorphosis Sutra* was extremely difficult to cultivate, and Dongfang Bubai suspected that perhaps only the legendary *Bone Marrow Washing Sutra* could compare to these two martial arts.

Now, Dongfang Bubai finally understood why Wang Yue could remain so young and maintain the appearance of a teenager. It was all due to the true qi of the Lesser Wu Xiang Gong and the internal strength of the Neijia Quan.

Wang Yue held his long sword, looking at Dongfang Bubai, and slowly paced back and forth. His steps had a peculiar rhythm, as he was adjusting his qi and spirit.

While pacing, Wang Yue sneered, "Dongfang Bai, do you believe this? Linghu Chong, tell me, can I believe what this woman says?"

In Wang Yue's subconscious, he had already completely regarded Dongfang Bubai as a woman with deep scheming. No matter what she said, he would not believe her.

Wang Yue thought that ten years ago, this woman must have had a purpose and a plan. To obtain his martial arts, she had endured for ten years, which was truly terrifying.

The more determined a person was, the more Wang Yue disliked them.

Murong Fu was also very determined, and Wang Yue had already suffered at his hands. In Wang Yue's mind, Dongfang Bubai was the same kind of person as Murong Fu.

Wang Yue thought to himself, "If there's any difference between Dongfang Bai and Murong Fu, it's that Murong Fu wants to restore his kingdom and become emperor, while Dongfang Bai wants martial arts secrets and to become Dongfang Bubai."

Linghu Chong was taken aback by Wang Yue's question and thought to himself, "How would I know about your affairs? Besides, I'm not familiar with Dongfang Bai."

"Ha ha. Young Hero Wang Yue, I don't think Miss Dongfang Bai is a bad person. Is there some misunderstanding between you?" Linghu Chong said with a smile.

The corners of Wang Yue's mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile. "Misunderstanding? I hope it's a misunderstanding. Dongfang Bai, make your move. Even though you are a grandmaster martial artist, I, Wang Yue, am not afraid of you. I want to see how much of the *Jade Maiden Scripture* you have mastered!"

Dongfang Bubai, upon hearing Wang Yue's words, felt that he was being heartless. Even if she did not consider her younger sister, they had been friends for ten years. Could ten years of friendship not make him trust her?

Dongfang Bubai thought to herself, "I really did not intend to obtain these martial arts."

Although she thought this, she did not explain further.

As the leader of the Sun Moon Cult, explaining herself once was already an exception. Explaining a second time was impossible.

Even if Wang Yue misunderstood her, Dongfang Bubai did not want to explain further.

Dongfang Bubai felt a chill in her heart, looking at Wang Yue with a cold gaze.

"Fine. If you want to experience the martial arts of the *Jade Maiden Scripture*, I will grant your wish today," Dongfang Bubai said with a cold laugh. "The last time we sparred was two years ago. At that time, your martial arts were only at the Ming Jing stage of the Neijia Quan. Now, not only have you mastered the An Jing stage, but you also have the true qi of the Lesser Wu Xiang Gong. I hope you don't disappoint me!"

Wang Qian had told Dongfang Bubai a lot about Wang Yue.

In Wang Qian's subconscious, she already regarded Dongfang Bubai as her sister-in-law. Wang Yue and Dongfang Bubai together were like a golden boy and a jade girl. They were so well-matched that Wang Qian believed they would eventually get married.

Since they would be a family sooner or later, there was no need to hide anything from Dongfang Bubai.

Therefore, Dongfang Bubai knew Wang Yue's martial arts inside and out.

The two of them exuded a momentum like transparent flames, suppressing Linghu Chong to the point where he found it hard to breathe.

"Both of you, please talk things out. There's no need to resort to weapons," Linghu Chong said from a distance. "It would be a shame to hurt each other's feelings."

Wang Yue said coldly, "Shut up. Linghu Chong, this is none of your business."

Dongfang Bubai glanced at Linghu Chong and said, "Linghu Chong, move further away. Your martial arts are too weak. You might get hurt by us."

Linghu Chong had no choice but to move even further away.

"What, not attacking?" Dongfang Bubai looked at Wang Yue and sneered.

Wang Yue coldly snorted, "Since that's the case, I won't hold back!"

Wang Yue had already adjusted his spirit and qi to their peak, and now he could unleash his strongest combat power.

"Thud."

Wang Yue pushed off the ground, his body becoming a blur as he attacked Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai extended her palm, and innate true qi swirled in her palm. Ten embroidery needles floated in the true qi.

Dongfang Bubai waved her hand, and the ten embroidery needles shot toward Wang Yue like rays of light.

"Too fast!"

Wang Yue was shocked. The speed of the embroidery needles was too fast, even faster than his sword.

Wang Yue's body movement and sword technique were already at their fastest, but compared to the speed of the embroidery needles, they were still a step behind.

Wang Yue held his long sword, and the sword light instantly covered his entire body, like a peacock spreading its feathers.

"Clang, clang, clang... clang, clang, clang... clang, clang, clang..."

A series of sounds rang out. Each time the long sword and the embroidery needle collided, Wang Yue was pushed back a step.

Dongfang Bubai, as a grandmaster martial artist, had a strength of over 40,000 pounds, and her innate true qi was extremely powerful. Each embroidery needle carried innate true qi, and the force on each needle was no less than 10,000 pounds.

Wang Yue, with the An Jing stage of the Neijia Quan and the true qi of the Lesser Wu Xiang Gong, had a strength of over 20,000 pounds.

A strength of 20,000 pounds was already invincible among first-class martial artists, but compared to a grandmaster martial artist, it was still far behind.

Defending against one embroidery needle was easy, but defending against ten embroidery needles simultaneously, even for Wang Yue, was very challenging.

Dongfang Bubai, hearing the sound of the embroidery needles colliding with the long sword, thought to herself, "Nine times, Wang Yue deflected nine embroidery needles."

Dongfang Bubai's heart raced. If he deflected nine, where was the tenth?

"Wang Yue is injured!"

Dongfang Bubai was certain, but she did not know where he was injured.

The embroidery needles and Wang Yue's sword were too fast, and Dongfang Bubai did not see the trajectory of all the needles clearly.

Just as Dongfang Bubai was distracted...

A faint red light appeared on Wang Yue's long sword. This was not sword qi, but sword light.

Wang Yue thought to himself, "Sword light, I have finally cultivated it."

He thrust his sword.

This sword was like a meteor from the sky, its speed increasing to a new level.

"Thud..."

The sword light was invincible, cutting off a piece of Dongfang Bubai's sleeve.

If Dongfang Bubai had not reacted quickly, using her lightness skill to dodge at the last moment, she would have been injured by the sword light.

Dongfang Bubai was shocked, "Sword light!"

It was the legendary sword light. Dongfang Bubai looked at Wang Yue with a hint of caution in her eyes.

The two of them were so fast that Linghu Chong only saw a black shadow and a red shadow intersecting, and then Wang Yue and Dongfang Bubai had swapped positions.

Wang Yue stood where Dongfang Bubai had been, and Dongfang Bubai stood where Wang Yue had been.

"How can their martial arts be so strong? When will my martial arts reach their level?" Linghu Chong was shocked as he looked at Wang Yue and Dongfang Bubai.

Staying on Mount Hua, Linghu Chong thought his martial arts were good. But in the world of martial arts, he realized how deep the waters were and what true experts looked like.

Wang Yue and Dongfang Bubai were true experts.

Wang Yue's left hand was trembling slightly.

"Your hand is injured?"

Dongfang Bubai's voice was calm, but there was a hint of concern in her tone.

Wang Yue's left arm had been pierced by an embroidery needle, and now the entire arm was numb.

"Don't pretend to care. Dongfang Bai, my strength is not as great as yours, and I am not your match. But I hope you remember, the Lesser Wu Xiang Gong and the Neijia Quan, you should not give them to Dongfang Bubai. If these martial arts fall into Dongfang Bubai's hands, many people will die." Wang Yue said coldly, "Perhaps, in the end, both of us will die at the hands of Dongfang Bubai."

Wang Yue coldly snorted, used the Lingbo Weibu, and disappeared in a blur.

Dongfang Bubai thought to herself, "Wang Yue, rest assured, even if Dongfang Bubai's martial arts are higher, she will not kill you."

"Goodbye, Linghu Chong. I have something to attend to."

Dongfang Bubai said to Linghu Chong and then used her lightness skill to leave.

...

Dongfang Bubai felt a heavy heart. She had regarded Wang Yue as her only friend. But now, there was a significant misunderstanding between them, and their relationship would not be as harmonious as before.

"Ah!"

Dongfang Bubai let out a long cry to the sky.

After releasing her pent-up emotions, Dongfang Bubai felt a bit lighter.

"Come out."

Dongfang Bubai said to the distant forest.

A disciple of the Sun Moon Cult appeared before Dongfang Bubai and respectfully said, "This subordinate greets the leader."

"Speak, what is it?" Dongfang Bubai asked.

The disciple of the Sun Moon Cult said, "Qu Yang met Liu Zhengfeng today and has now returned to the Qunyu Hall."

Dongfang Bubai's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Let's go, take me to see Qu Yang."
