Chapter 12: Repelling the Enemy
Chapter 12: Repelling the Enemy
Just then, a long howl suddenly came from afar.
"Hahaha, you little barbarians from a foreign land dare to act so presumptuously in my Quanzhen Sect. Today I will teach you a lesson and show you what the true orthodox Xuanmen sect is."
The sound came from afar and grew closer, arriving almost instantly.
However, when Ma Yu and the others realized that the person who came was just a young man in his twenties, they were all stunned.
I don't know him!
They had absolutely no idea when such a young master had appeared in the martial arts world.
The key point is that the other party claims to be a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, and has profound internal strength, which is obviously the authentic internal strength of their Quanzhen Sect.
He is undoubtedly a disciple of the Quanzhen School.
Ma Yu blinked twice and asked Qiu Chuji beside him:
"Junior Brother Qiu, you are always out there doing good deeds, how did you end up taking on such a talented disciple? We had no idea at all."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Chuji shook his head and said:
"Don't tell me my senior brother doesn't know, I don't even know myself!"
To be honest, this is the first time I've seen him today. If my senior brother hadn't said anything, I would have thought he was a highly accomplished disciple he'd taken on sometime ago!
Upon hearing this, Ma Yu turned his gaze to Wang Chuyi and the others, and seeing that they all shook their heads, he asked in surprise:
"This young hero's martial arts are so strong. The Golden Goose Skill he just displayed has clearly reached its peak. He couldn't possibly be a fourth-generation disciple!"
At the same time, Huo Du also looked at Qian Jin with a look of surprise and doubt.
The long howl just now showed profound internal strength, and he thought it was some kind of master who had come. But when the other party got closer, he found that it was just a young man in his twenties.
So he immediately pointed with his folding fan and said:
"Who are you? I don't kill nameless nobodies."
"Qian Jin, a disciple of Quanzhen Sect, but I'm the opposite; I specialize in beating up nobodys like you."
Upon hearing this, Huo Du became enraged and attacked, brandishing his folding fan.
Seeing this, Qian Jin did not draw his sword. He slightly turned his body to avoid Huo Du's folding fan and then threw a punch, which was a move from the Kongming Fist called "Deeply Hidden".
After several moves, Huo Du felt that his opponent's boxing skills were extremely exquisite and difficult to distinguish between real and feint. He could only use his folding fan to protect his vital points and dared not attack easily.
Upon seeing this, Ma Yu, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly laughed and said:
"Haha, I was wondering how such a young master could suddenly appear in our Quanzhen Sect. Now it seems that our Uncle Zhou has taken in a junior brother for us!"
Qiu Chuji laughed upon hearing this and said:
"Indeed, our junior brother Qian seems to have fully inherited Uncle Zhou's teachings. In terms of martial arts alone, he is probably stronger than all of us senior brothers."
As Ma Yu and Qiu Chuji were chatting and laughing, a figure suddenly flew over at an extremely fast speed.
Then he went directly to Ma Yu and the others and said:
"Disciple Guo Jing pays his respects."
Upon seeing Guo Jing, Ma Yu and the others quickly returned the greeting with smiles.
After exchanging greetings, Guo Jing turned his gaze to Qian Jin and Huo Du fighting in the arena, and immediately showed a look of surprise.
These two were highly skilled in martial arts, clearly top-tier masters in the martial arts world, yet he didn't recognize either of them.
Especially the sword-wielding youth in his twenties, who was already showing some of the flair of his sworn brother, the Old Rascal, when he used the Empty Fist with one hand.
Seeing Guo Jing's surprised expression, Ma Yu couldn't help but laugh:
"Jing'er, this is not the first time you've met this new disciple of Uncle Zhou, is it?"
Guo Jing nodded upon hearing this and said:
"I haven't seen my sworn brother for many years. I never imagined that he would teach such a highly skilled disciple."
I observed that although his opponent was skilled in martial arts, he was already being restrained at every turn and probably wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.
Qiu Chuji, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement and said:
"Indeed, this Empty Fist is Uncle Zhou's unique skill. Junior Brother Qian has fully inherited Uncle Zhou's true teachings. That Prince Huo Du is naturally no match for him."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention back to the two combatants in the arena.
Qian Jin used his right hand to unleash the Empty Fist technique, easily suppressing Huo Du. However, Huo Du was indeed quite skilled, and it was difficult for him to win when he used the Empty Fist technique with only one hand.
But he still has his left hand that he hasn't used yet!
Moreover, today is his match that will make him famous, so he has to fight well.
So, taking advantage of Huo Du's full strength in blocking the empty fist of his right hand, he swung the sword in his left hand, still in its sheath, fiercely at Huo Du.
This sword strike had no set moves; although it had some elements of the Quanzhen Swordplay, it was more like a brute-force attack.
Huo Du's entire attention was focused on Qian Jin's right fist; he never imagined that the opponent's left hand could change its moves to strike him.
He was immediately struck in the left shoulder by a sword, and he grimaced in pain.
However, at this moment, Qian Jin's right fist was already upon him, and Huo dared not take it head-on, so he quickly dodged.
Unexpectedly, while throwing a punch, the opponent was also able to use his left hand independently, and another sword struck him directly in the lower back.
"Oh! My back!"
Huo Du screamed in agony, and then Qian Jin slapped him across the face with his sword.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Qian Jin swung his sword again and again, beating Huo Du like a beast, forcing him to flee in all directions, no longer daring to linger in Chongyang Palace.
He led Darba and the others and slunk away.
Seeing that the enemy had been driven away by Qian Jin in the blink of an eye, Ma Yu and the others were stunned.
They were all masters of the Quanzhen Sect, and it was easy to see that when Qian Jin beat Huo Du, his swordsmanship showed traces of the Quanzhen swordsmanship.
However, this barbaric method of use is truly unacceptable.
However, considering that the other party is Master Zhou's disciple, it seems to make some sense.
Qian Jin fought Huo Du for a long time with his Empty Fist technique to give Ma Yu and the others enough time to confirm his identity.
Now that they had repelled the powerful enemy, he naturally came over and bowed to Ma Yu and the others, saying:
"My name is Qian Jin. I greet you all, fellow disciples."
Seeing this, Ma Yu and the others all returned the greetings, saying:
"Haha, Junior Brother Qian arrived just in time today and repelled the formidable enemy. It's truly an eye-opener for us senior brothers!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"When I was traveling the world with my master, the Old Rascal, Ying Gu, and Master Yideng, we heard that many evil people wanted to gather at Zhongnan Mountain to participate in some kind of martial arts contest to find a husband."
We were worried they might take advantage of the situation to harm our Quanzhen Sect, which is why we rushed back to help our fellow disciples defend against the enemy.
Qian Jin deliberately mentioned the Old Rascal in order to further confirm his identity.
Ma Yu and the others naturally understood Qian Jin's meaning. However, while mentioning Uncle Zhou was understandable, how could Ying Gu and Master Yideng end up with Uncle Zhou?
Then everyone turned their attention to Guo Jing.
Guo Jing was also somewhat bewildered upon seeing this.
He knew all too well the grudges and affections between the Old Rascal and Ying Gu, and he also knew that the two people the Old Rascal feared most to see were Ying Gu and Master Yideng.
So I couldn't help but ask:
"Young Master Qian, you said my sworn brother is with Ying Gu and Master Yideng, what's going on here?"
