Chapter 151: Conflict

降魔劍上形成一個金色光團後，蕭煜輕喝一聲。這些金芒拖著長長的尾巴，彷彿有了靈識一般，在這個鬼魂周圍轉了幾圈。這道金芒的尾巴並未消散，而是化為一條金色絲線，環繞在鬼魂身上幾圈後將其緊緊束縛住。當金色絲線纏繞住這隻自稱山神的惡鬼時，它發出一陣淒厲慘叫。被金色絲線觸及的地方就像硫酸一樣腐蝕著這個鬼魂。漸漸地，這些金線深深地嵌入了鬼魂體內，縷縷黑霧從接觸點升起，逐漸消失在空中。這個鬼魂痛苦地尖叫著，身體飄...Chapter 151: Strife

Xiao Yu had not yet trained Zhong Kui's martial arts techniques, but he practiced Wuqin Xi. Although the true Wuqin Xi passed down by Hua Tuo was a method of cultivation for health and breath control, when one practices it to an advanced level, its effectiveness in combat is no worse than other martial skills; in fact, it may even be superior.

However, Xiao Yu had never experienced fighting with others before, so he felt very nervous inside.

Xiao Yu was nervous inside but his expression remained calm. Looking at the black-clad figure before him, he said, "So much nonsense..."

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the black-clad person’s eyes narrowed and he flew forward with a punch aimed for Xiao Yu's head.

Since Xiao Yu had practiced the Upright Qi Formula, his body’s flexibility and sensitivity of the five senses had greatly improved. Thus, he was not particularly alarmed by this incoming fist. As he watched the fist flying towards him, he took two steps back and dodged it to one side. In the gap left by the black-clad person's punch, Xiao Yu kicked out with his foot aiming for the chest of the black-clad figure.

The black-clad person saw the incoming kick aimed at his chest and quickly retracted his fist as he leaped back into retreat.

Xiao Yu seized this opportunity without hesitation. He used the tiger form from Wuqin Xi, flying forward to attack the retreating black-clad figure. Xiao Yu's leap was accompanied by a howling wind like that of tigers' roars; the black-clad person’s face changed dramatically as he exclaimed, "The Tiger Form in the Twelve Forms Intention Style"

The Black Cloaked Man quickly leaped back and stood in front of the young man, looking at Xiao Yu with a serious expression. Xiao Yu's previous tiger pounce clearly demonstrated the essence of Tiger Fist, something that ordinary practitioners from the Xing Yi School could not achieve.

"Sir, are you the disciple of one of the masters within the Xing Yi School I believe there must be some misunderstanding between us!" The Black Cloaked Man said with his fists clasped together as he looked at Xiao Yu.

"Haha, I'm not from any school or sect. There's no need for us to explain anything," Xiao Yu had never engaged in combat before and now that he finally found an opponent, why should he let go so easily Besides, Wei Jun’s grudge still needed to be avenged!

Upon hearing Xiao Yu was not from the Xing Yi School, the Black Cloaked Man felt a lot more at ease. Although he wasn’t afraid of people from the Xing Yi School, his top priority now was protecting this Young Master Cao.

"Little Dragon, Tian Ming, protect Young Master!" The Black Cloaked Man ordered several other black-clothed men surrounding the two young men.

The Black Cloaked Man felt much more at ease when he saw his comrades encircling the two young men. Although his brothers were no match for him individually, they could form a formidable team that even he couldn't defeat easily.

When the Black Cloaked Man looked back at Xiao Yu again, his expression was solemn and no longer as relaxed as before. With one move, Xiao Yu had proven his strength.

The Black Cloaked Man saw his comrades already protecting the young man and moved swiftly forward to strike directly at Xiao Yu's vital points.

The Black Cloak fighter trained in the military to kill with a single move, without any fancy gestures. Xiao Yu, on the other hand, countered each move but never found an opportunity to counterattack. Seeing three more Black Cloaks eyeing him from the side, Xiao Yu felt increasingly anxious; he needed to take care of one before proceeding.

When Zhang Shaohua came out and saw Xiao Yu locked in a difficult battle with that Black Cloak fighter, he was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected Xiao Yu to be such an adept fighter. Yet when he caught sight of the Black Cloaks, something felt oddly familiar. Suddenly, he recognized one young man among them; his complexion changed drastically as he quickly turned and walked away, taking out a phone to make a call.

Awhile later, after hanging up, he looked somewhat perplexed. What was his boss thinking He actually told him not to intervene and just watch the situation unfold. But wasn’t the boss quite concerned about Xiao Yu

Could it be... Zhang Shaohua suddenly thought of a possibility; at that moment, his expression abruptly changed. Was this possible That man was an official at the deputy-minister level! Yet when he recalled what his boss said, Zhang Shaohua silently lowered his head with a look of shock.

Zhang Shaohua quietly moved to the perimeter of the crowd without saying anything, watching the two fighters and feeling sorrow for the young man standing over there who seemed oblivious to being set up by others while still making loud claims.

Black Cloak fighter Ah Hu’s moves relentlessly targeted Xiao Yu's vital points. With little combat experience (only having played around with kids on the streets as a child), Xiao Yu was overwhelmed by the violent and lethal tactics of the Black Cloaks, whose murderous aura filled with bloodlust made him struggle to defend.

If not for the practice of Zhengqi Jue that drastically enhanced his physical strength and flexibility, even the Wuqin Xi wouldn’t have been enough to fend off the Black Cloak fighter.

Xiao Yu was also secretly anxious; prolonging this situation would be unfavorable. Suddenly, a black cloak fighter sidestepped and kicked towards Xiao Yu's head. As he saw the incoming kick, Xiao Yu’s fingers lightly touched his chest, instantly pulling out a golden needle from within him.

When Xiao Yu was about to be kicked by the black-clad man, right before the foot reached his head, he held a golden needle and pierced it into the leg of the black-clad man.

Ah Hu, one of the black-clad men, saw Xiao Yu standing there dumbly without dodging. He was well aware of how powerful this kick was; even a bull would die if hit in the head with such force, let alone a person.

Just as Ah Hu thought to lessen his strength, he felt as if an ant had bitten him on his leg, causing sharp pain to shoot up his leg. After the pain subsided, his leg lost all sensation, and the kick aimed at Xiao Yu lacked any force.

Xiao Yu watched Ah Hu's foot, which was now moving purely by inertia towards him with no strength left in it, and gently reached out both hands to intercept it. Not only did he block Ah Hu's kick, but also firmly grabbed his leg.

With a light twist of Xiao Yu’s grip on Ah Hu's leg, the sound of cracking bones could be heard.

"Humph... Ah..." As soon as Ah Hu was twisted by Xiao Yu, he let out a muffled groan and beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.

Seizing the moment when Ah Hu was momentarily stunned after his groan, Xiao Yu did not hesitate to advance. He grabbed Ah Hu’s arm and turned it forcefully with a loud ‘crack’. In the instant Ah Hu's arm made that sound, however, rather than gloating over his victory, Xiao Yu quickly retreated.

This time, Xiao Yu didn't linger in battle; he immediately withdrew after achieving his goal. He remembered what Zhang Dahai had told him: at the moment when his opponent was feeling triumphant and off-guard due to having disabled Zhang Dahai's arm, Zhang Dahai relied on sheer willpower to deliver a fatal strike.he had to follow the rules here."Haha. The two of you, brothers. We've come to watch the ceremony and pay our respects!" Upon hearing the young men's words, Xiao Yu bowed slightly with a light laugh."...
