The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 142 The Authentic Successor of the Dragon Slaying Sword

"Zhu Wulianzhuang Wu Lie greets Young Master Song!" Wu Lie is tall and thin, and his martial arts skills are not taken seriously by Song Qingshu. However, his family background is still good. Is he a good aptitude for martial arts? It is probably inherited from his ancestors, big and small. He is not useless, but can only be described as mediocre.

"So you're the renowned Master Wu of Zhuwu Lianhuan Manor. I've long heard of your name. Nice to meet you." Song Qingshu greeted him with a glance. However, the little girl Yin Li was a troublemaker. She nudged Zhang Wuji and whispered, "Isn't this Zhuwu Lianhuan Manor the two large manors we inquired about down the mountain earlier? Senior Brother Song even asked if there were any masters there, but he clearly didn't know. How did it become something I've heard of for a long time now?"

Zhang Wuji suppressed his laughter and whispered, "This is the cliché people in the martial arts world use when they meet. If you take it seriously, you'll be treated as inferior. Senior Brother Song once said that everyone should be polite and say hello to each other. Just make it look good. If you take it too seriously, it will be unacceptable. There aren't so many masters in the martial arts world that you can meet. Senior Brother Song said that whenever you go to a place, you should first inquire about the local powerful people so that you can be friendly when you meet them. Not every sect can compare to Wudang."

The two little guys were whispering to each other, their voices were low, but there were few people here and the place was spacious. Wu Lie brought a disciple and a daughter with him, and they all looked decent, but their martial arts skills were really not good. As an adult, he couldn't even beat Zhang Wuji and Yin Li.

The corners of Wu Lie's mouth twitched slightly. He naturally knew that he was no big shot in the Central Plains martial arts world. He was just a local tyrant in this small place within a hundred miles. It was a bit embarrassing to be exposed in front of others. Fortunately, there were few people here, and Song Qingshu glared at them fiercely to make them shut up.

"I've heard that Young Master Song from Wudang is a martial arts master with great skill and a gentle manner, and is known as a Confucian hero. It's commendable that he came to Kunlun this time to collect herbs for his junior brother to heal his wounds, but I wonder if he got any reward. We have lived here for a long time, and we have some gifts from Xuefeng at home. Please accept them." Wu Lie coughed and asked Wu Qingying to present a large wooden box.

Wu Qingying and Zhu Jiuzhen were known as the "Two Beauties of Snow Ridge," and their looks were undoubtedly remarkable. Remember, in the original novel, Zhu Jiuzhen was a stunning beauty who could even charm Zhang Wuji. Song Qingshu nodded slightly, and asked Yin Li to take the box. He then bowed and said, "Master Wu, I cannot refuse such a generous gift. When I visit the Central Plains in the future, I will definitely visit Wudang. I will certainly be there to greet you."

You haven't even opened the box yet and you're talking about such a generous gift. Isn't that a bit too fake?

Wu Lie's forehead was throbbing with veins, but he was a little unsure when he thought of Song Qingshu's battle record. At the age of twenty, he defeated the leader of Huashan, the Five Elders of Kongtong, and Ban Shuxian of Kunlun. His martial arts were definitely top-notch in the world, much stronger than himself. However, he did not believe it completely. There are also newcomers promoted in the world, and it is not impossible for Song Qingshu, the first disciple of the third generation of Wudang disciples, to be so honored.

"When you give a gift, you must have something in mind. To be honest, I have a concern that was passed down from my ancestors. I hope Young Master Zhang can help me solve it." Wu Lie resisted the urge to turn around and leave. He turned his gaze towards Zhang Wuji, who was stunned for a moment and pointed at his nose: "Me?"

"Master Wu, please let me know if you have anything to say. If I can help, as long as it does not violate the moral principles of the martial arts world, I will do my best." Zhang Wuji thought that apart from his medical skills, he had nothing else worth others' coveting.

"My ancestor once studied under the hero Guo Jing and fought against the Mongolian army in Xiangyang City for many years. He was eventually killed in the battlefield. However, there is a precious treasure passed down from the hero Guo Jing, but it is now lost outside. Please let me know its whereabouts, Young Master Zhang. I will be very grateful!" Wu Lie bowed deeply, and indeed vaguely introduced his family background, but isn't it a bit too much to return the Dragon Slaying Sword to your family like this?

Zhang Wuji was stunned for a moment and looked at Song Qingshu, only to see the latter's figure flash to Wu Lie's side in an instant, and hit him with a palm. Wu Lie seemed to be prepared and moved sideways, raised his right hand and raised an orchid finger to meet the attack. With a "bang", Song Qingshu did not move at all, but Wu Lie staggered back three or five steps before he could stand firm.

"Orchid Finger, your surname is Wu, which hero, Wu Dunru or Wu Xiuwen, are you a descendant of?" Song Qingshu's expression was a little cold, his eyes like lightning staring at Wu Lie.

Wu Lie's heart was filled with turbulent waves. Song Qingshu possessed such profound internal energy that he had only slightly injured him with a single blow. Judging from his reserved aura, he knew this wasn't his strongest weapon. "My ancestor, Wu Xiuwen, was a disciple of the great hero Guo Jing and the true heir to the Dragon Slaying Sword. Young Master Song, please grant me a favor."

"You are actually the authentic successor of the Dragon Slaying Sword. Do you have any evidence? Or do you know the secret of the Dragon Slaying Sword?" Song Qingshu's words made Wu Lie's face change in vain. He had forgotten this key point. The Dragon Slaying Sword can command the martial arts world. In fact, they themselves did not know where the rumor came from. In order to get the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Sword, they claimed to be the owner of the Dragon Slaying Sword, which was tantamount to admitting that they knew the Dragon Slaying Sword very well.

"This is the Wu family's ancestral secret, but it cannot be..." Before Wu Lie finished speaking, Song Qingshu had already arrived in front of him, performing the "Turning Sky Palm" with one hand with ease, beating Wu Lie back repeatedly. His full strength was actually no match for Song Qingshu's casual one-handed play.

"Qingying, Wei Bi, capture the two little ones." Wu Lie knew that he was no match for Song Qingshu. Even if he added his daughter and disciples, the result would be the same. He hurriedly asked them to capture Zhang Wuji and Yin Li as hostages.

However, Zhang Wuji, who has learned "Wudang Nine Yang Gong", "Iron Shirt" and many other martial arts, is not weaker than them at all, and is even a little stronger. His experience may be a little insufficient, but he has been forced to compete with Yin Li in the past few days. Although he is often beaten, his experience is no longer so lacking.

Yin Li first learned the basic kung fu of the Sky Eagle Sect, and later laid some foundation with Grandma Jinhua. During this period of time, she learned a lot of good things from Song Qingshu. With the help of medicinal food and Song Qingshu's guidance, although she is a little worse than Zhang Wuji overall, she can beat him because of her rich experience.

Facing Wei Bi and Wu Qingying, Yin Li was not afraid at all, but was eager to try.

Wei Bi and Wu Qingying were horrified to see Song Qingshu single-handedly defeat Wu Lie, leaving him unable to fight back. Following his words, they immediately charged forward. Yin Li retreated sharply, dropping the box and belongings on the ground. Zhang Wuji wasn't particularly skilled in swordsmanship, but he had learned a fair amount of martial arts, including Song Qingshu's "Heaven-Flipping Palm." Seeing how badly Wu Lie was being beaten, he also charged forward.

Wei Bi was always proud, but he did not take Zhang Wuji seriously, and even did not take Song Qingshu seriously at the beginning. When their palms collided, Zhang Wuji took a half step back, but Wei Bi's arm made a slight "crack" sound, and was broken by Zhang Wuji's palm. He could not help but let out a cry of pain.

Wu Qingying was extremely anxious and rushed towards Zhang Wuji. A figure appeared in front of her like a ghost, and a small hand stabbed her eyes, causing Wu Qingying to scream and quickly retreat. Although she avoided the eyes, two shallow blood marks were left on her face.

"Hmph, since you can dodge my Thousand Spiders and Ten Thousand Poison Hands, your martial arts skills can barely be considered up to par." The Thousand Spiders and Ten Thousand Poison Hands was the most powerful and familiar skill to Yin Li before. After seeing it, Song Qingshu felt that it was too rubbish, so he helped her modify it a little, removing the part that used poison and adding the ability to hit acupuncture points and tear faces apart.

Song Qingshu named it the Shrew's Face-Tearing Hand, but Yin Li flatly rejected it. She still called it the Thousand Spiders and Ten Thousand Poison Hands, but this time the poison was no longer a venomous one, but a venomous one that specifically targeted the acupuncture points and skin on the body. How could it not be venomous? They say you shouldn't hit someone in the face, but this technique specifically targeted facial ripping. In particular, Yin Li had deliberately grown her nails to complement this technique. She was unfailingly accurate in ripping someone's skin off; it was truly the ultimate killer move against women.
