Chapter XIX: The Pact of Shaolin
Miao Rufei said, “In that case, you have to try to steal it!” With a ‘hu’ sound, she aimed the long whip at Ling Zongxu’s chest. This man had an extraordinary bearing and his martial arts skills must have their own unique characteristics.
With a flip of his wrist, Ling Zongxu took out a pair of steel hairpins. With a violent smash, the long whip struck the ground, causing sand and rocks to fly into the air. He flipped his body in the air, and the pair of hairpins quickly flew towards Miao Rufei’s shoulders.
Miao Rufei’s body floated as she retreated three feet back, thinking to herself, “This person is indeed dangerous.” With a shake of her long whip, she hurriedly charged towards Ling Zongxu’s neck. It was extremely swift and fierce.
Ling Zongxu hurriedly took a few steps back and wrapped his whip around the hairpin. With her hands’ worth of luck, Miao Rufei’s body was still weak and her inner force was not as thick as his. When her feet touched the ground, she was actually pulled over. Halfway there, he pushed off with the tip of his feet and jumped up, his feet continuously kicking at Ling Zongxu’s chest.
Ling Zongxu had no choice but to discard the hairpin and raise his hands to block both of his palms. Miao Ruofei flipped her body in the air and floated three feet away.
Ling Zongxu secretly sized up Miao Rufei and thought to himself, “How could this girl be so powerful?” After a few moves, he was actually forced to put down his weapon to protect himself. Since they had set out on their journey, they had not met with such a situation. They had even come to a stalemate with Fan Wenxin. He could not help but be terrified.
Miao Rufei smiled and said, “What do you think? Do you still want to fight?”
Ling Zong Xu said, “According to the martial arts rules, I have already lost, but I am not willing to accept it.”
Miao Rufei said, “If you don’t want to, then continue.”
Ling Zong Xu said, “I know that I am not a match for this lady, but I will take a look and see if I can’t?”
Luo Haolong was not severely injured. After secretly controlling himself, he moved to the back of Miao Rufei and said, “Miss, what a boastful tone. I’m just here to experience a few moves.”
The shadows of the trees in the forest swayed, and a woman flew down. “A man who bullies a woman isn’t ashamed.”
Miao Rufei looked at the figure. It was the head of the Purple Cloud Pavilion. She walked to Miao Rufei’s side and asked, “Sister, are you alright? If there’s anything, it’s elder sister who can help you guys.” He didn’t even look at Luo Haolong, as if he didn’t even care about him.
Miao Rufei said, “Pavilion Master should be more concerned about her, but I’m fine.”
Luo Haolong saw that the other side didn’t make a sound when his feet landed on the ground. The squinty was definitely another expert, but seeing that he did not put himself in his eyes, he could not help but feel a nameless fire burning in his heart. “It seems like you want to stand up for her …”
The head of the Purple Cloud Pavilion smiled sweetly and said, “Why do you always have problems with women? Are you going to fight with me again now?”
Luo Haolong’s face couldn’t help but turn green from anger. He said, “Why are you talking so much nonsense?” Both of his palms shot out at the same time.
Purple Cloud Pavilion’s head laughed once more, “Why do you keep saying such useless things?” As he spoke, his figure flashed, dodging two of his palms.
Luo Haolong couldn’t help but be extremely angry. He took a step forward with his left foot and his right foot twirled in a half circle on the ground before he suddenly sent a palm strike straight towards the shoulder of the Purple Cloud Pavilion’s Pavilion Master and entered the big acupoint. The force of the blow was swift and violent.
The Purple Cloud Pavilion’s Martial House Master did not dare to be negligent. When he saw the movement, he had already hastily moved behind the tree. Even so, his right shoulder was still swept by the wind from the palm as his arm was in pain as he said, “You still have two more attacks of brute force.”
The pain was so excruciating that he couldn’t stand listening anymore. He said, “You slut, are you using brute force? If you don’t understand your mother, then don’t fart!”
Violet Cloud Hall Master covered her nose with her finger and said, “Sister, why is it that it suddenly stinks so bad?”
Miao Rufei understood immediately and tried to run away. “There’s really someone farting,” she said. “So smelly, so smelly.”
It caused Lei Zhaoting to laugh, “You guys are so funny.”
Luo Haolong harrumphed and said, “Get out of here quickly, don’t show yourself here. “All of you, quickly go and seize the Vermilion Bird Divine Jewel from the hands of that young lady.”
The tall and thin man’s face was red from bloating. He was filled with resentment as he swung his sword at Lu Lu’s throat. Lu Lu was frightened when her long sword struck her. She raised her sword, but couldn’t react in time. She sat down on the ground, and a long whip reached out and wrapped around her sword. She pulled back her sword, and the tip of the sword stabbed in the wrong direction.
The tall and thin man turned around in a strange manner. The tip of the sword pierced towards Miao Rufei’s lower jaw.
Miao Rufei quickly retreated, pulling her long whip around her sword. The tall and thin figure leaned forward and hastily retracted his foot’s momentum. He almost fell flat on his face.
Luo Haolong attacked ferociously with a whizzing wind from his palm. The Purple Cloud Pavilion Master was in the middle of the forest, covered in red. Luo Haolong couldn’t even take a single piece of his clothes. He said, “You’re running for your life.”
Purple Cloud Pavilion’s head said, “Isn’t that so? If you want to chase after him and fight him, what else can I do?” After saying that, he laughed a few more times.
Luo Haolong shouted, “Good, your qinggong is good, let’s compete in qinggong.” Suddenly, she flashed up and down a few times and disappeared from the side of the Violet Cloud Pavilion Master.
The Purple Cloud Pavilion’s Martial House Master was shocked. As he looked around, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind approaching from above his head. His palms hurried to the top of his head. Four palms intersected, and there was a loud sound. It was like a huge wave in the ocean. It caused the dust to fly into the air.
Luo Haolong’s body did a few somersault in the air, and his feet landed on the ground, but he still took a few steps back. He did not expect the strength of this woman’s palm to be so profound.
The Purple Cloud Pavilion’s Martial House Master’s feet were all buried in the ground as well. He felt a sweet taste in his chest, and with a wail, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face instantly turned pale.
Luo Haolong had been wounded twice. He couldn’t help but feel pain in his body. He leaned against a big tree, breathing heavily. The tall and thin man was forced to spin around by Miao Rufei. With traces of blood on his body, he thought to himself, “There’s no hope for us to snatch the pearl today. Let’s go. See you in the future. ”
Miao Rufei leaped to his side and said, “Pavilion Master, are you alright?”
Violet Cloud’s Martial House Master took a deep breath. Although he felt his vital energy and blood were a bit unwell, he knew it was fine. He smiled and said, “Thank you for your concern, I’m fine.”
Miao Rufei looked around again and asked, “Why are you here?”
Purple Cloud Pavilion’s head said, “My lord said that you have met with trouble, so he asked me to help you.”
Miao Rufei said, “They’ve already suspected you.”
Violet Cloud Pavilion Master said, “We have already thought of a countermeasure.”
Miao Rufei led the Violet Cloud Pavilion’s master to the side of Dian Cang and the others. Seeing Zhang Qingyun still sitting cross-legged on the ground, he adjusted his breathing with luck. Seeing that the other party’s face was flushed, he knew that nothing was amiss.
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in the forest, “How can such a lively place be lacking the Five Poisons Sect?” A figure flew straight towards Lulu.
Lu Lu stepped out of the bow and dashed forward. Who knew that this person’s movement speed was so fast? She suddenly made a turn and used her fingers to grab the tip of his sword. She spun in the air, causing Lu Lu to lose her balance and fell to the ground.
It was Chu Yuxia. She touched the ground with the tip of her foot, and her palm reached for Lulu. Fast and ruthless.
Miao Rufei brandished the long whip in her hand and struck it against the top of her head. Chu Yu sighed, and said, “You can also use the whip technique, today you’ve finally met the ancestor who used the whip technique.” His body moved backwards as he dodged her attack. He also removed a six feet long whip from his waist. With a shake of the whip, a loud bang resounded in the air. An Overlord’s Whip struck toward Miao Rufei’s waist.
Miao Rufei wasn’t slow either. She swung her long whip with her bare hands. The long whip turned into a viper and flew straight toward her face. Chu Yuxia’s movement speed was also fast. Her body moved slightly to the side and her left hand cut horizontally to grab the long whip. She raised her right hand out of the hole and with a wave of her arm, struck towards her left arm. Miao Rufei dodged to the right, avoiding the attack. He retreated three feet.
After these few moves were over, the crowd couldn’t help but be shocked. Miao Rufei was also secretly surprised at how ruthless her opponent’s moves were. His speed was extremely fast.
Chu Yuxia said, “Kid, you still have some skill. It seems that I’ll have to play with you today.” With a single move, the jade plate swept towards Miao Rufei’s feet. It carried layers of sand and had quite a bit of power.
She raised her hand to pick up the star, and the long whip once again coiled around her feet. Miao Rufei did not change her move so quickly, she was in the air, she did not have any point of force, and she could not move. Seeing that the long whip was about to wrap around her own feet, she hastily waved her arm, wrapped the long whip around a big tree, and forcefully pulled it, causing her body to fly towards the big tree.
Chu Yuxia did not expect that the whip would miss, so she only took off her shoes. He smiled and said, “This little girl, she actually doesn’t even want her shoes anymore.” With another wave of her arm, she attacked him once more. With a few quick movements, she attacked him from the tree. When she saw that his feet were touching the ground, she slightly tilted her body and stomped her bare feet on the ground. The long whip twisted and struck her lower body.
Miao Rufei hurried to retreat. There were many branches and rocks in the forest, so when she accidentally stepped on the rocks, it was like she was in pain. Chu Yuxia had forced her hands into a fluster.
Chu Yuxia said, “Let’s see how long you can last.” A single move from Hai Tu Long was aimed at her legs. Miao Rufei took two more steps back. When the long whip struck her foot, it actually snapped and twisted towards her ankle, causing her to be unable to dodge in time. She pulled the whip along with her, causing it to fall to the ground. Following which, he flew up into the air and struck Miao Rufei in the face with his palm.
At this moment, a buddhist chant came from the forest. It was the Amitabha character. He had not seen anyone when he had the word ‘Amitabha’. The shadow of the character was right next to Chu Yuxia, and the word ‘Tuo’ had already received her palm. Before the word ‘Buddha’ had even finished echoing, Chu Yuxia had already taken six or seven steps back.
Chu Yuxia stared and saw an old monk in his sixties. He smiled and said, “Even Master has come to bully this little girl.”
The old monk placed one hand on his chest and bowed to Chu Yuxia, “Sect Leader Chu, please accept my invitation.”
Chu Yuxia said, “Master Shaolin has already made his move, what else is there to say.”
Ling Zongxu walked up to the old monk and said, “Greetings, Great Master. However, this Pearl of the Vermillion Bird is not all he has. ”
The old monk also bowed towards Ling Sect Xu and said, “Sect Leader Ling also did not come to work hard, coming so far to protect the divine bead. This old monk thanks you very much. ”
Chu Yuxia said, “The Shaolin Temple cannot side with a faction because of its status in the martial arts world. This way, all of the heroes of the realm will be unable to accept it. ”
Tang Ju leaped over and said, “Greetings Master. Junior has a word to say, this matter can be decided by Young Master Lin, and all the heroes of the world can be recruited to lead everyone to find four divine beads and open the treasure. Twenty years ago, the money that the Evil Sovereign obtained was originally from the various big sects. Now that the big sects are going to search for them and open them up together, that would be fair. ”
The old monk said, “What about the two opinions?”
Chu Yuxia said, “I’m just a woman, what else do I have to say? Let’s just ask Young Master Lin to send the Hero Bandanna.”
Ling Zongxu replied, “In that case, I’ll have to trouble the Shaolin Faction and Master.”
The old monk then said, “Everyone’s opinion, when I return to Shaolin Sect, I will definitely report it to the sect leader and convey your views.”
Ling Zong Xu replied: “Alright, then I’ll wait for Shao Lin’s beautiful voice.” With that, he turned around and walked out of the forest. Everyone from the Tang Sect also came out of the woods.
Chu Yuxia said, “Everyone has left, master. I will also take my leave, and see you again. ”
The old monk said, “Sect Leader Chu, may we meet again in the future. Have a good trip.” He turned around and walked to Zhang Qingyun’s side, both of his palms slowly pressing down on the top of his head.
Lei Zhaoting was startled, “Master, what are you trying to do?”
The grey robed elder said, “Don’t worry, Master is using the Shaolin Divine Technique to treat Young Hero’s wounds. Young Master Lin’s martial arts is the most righteous and honorable martial arts, and his internal energy is also pure and positive. This young hero has had a truly fortuitous encounter. Usually, the young master Lin’s high monks rarely step into the martial arts world, and if it wasn’t for his high status in the martial arts world, it would be difficult to meet him. ”
Zhang Qingyun felt a warm wave of zhenqi flowing from the top of his head to his entire body. It was extremely enjoyable. Soon, most of his injuries were healed. He stood up and greeted the old master, “Many thanks for master’s help!”
The old monk said, “Sir, there is no need to thank me. Sir’s internal energy is very thick and he has opened eight extraordinary meridians. Even if this old monk does not intervene, Sir can recover his own strength. He is a rare talent in the martial arts world.” Turning around and placing his hand on the gray-robed elder’s wrist, his face changed, “Benefactor Huang, what poison did you get poisoned with? This old monk is ignorant, I can’t even detect it.”
The grey-robed old man’s name was Huang Rong Hua and Sect Leader Dian Cang, both of whom were known as the Two Elders of the Dian Cang Sect. Slowly, he said, “Thank you, master. This poison was created by the Poison King Flower, Ruyan. It’s extremely poisonous. Master, you don’t have to worry about it.”
The old monk looked around and said, “Where is he?”
Huang Rong Hua said: “Hua Ruyan was taken away by the Ice Cult. This young hero asked for the antidote for me, and was severely injured by Luo Jilong. I will have to repay this debt of gratitude in my next life.” However, there was one thing in his heart that he couldn’t let go. In the future, I will have no more successors. “Young Hero, would you please accept this Mysterious Sky Sword?”
Zhang Qingyun exclaimed, “How can that be?”
Huang Rong Hua said: “Young Hero saved my sect leader first, and then he seriously injured me. It could be said that he risked his life to save Dian Cang, and was fated to meet him. “Young hero, you are truly righteous. Could it be that you have the heart to cause Cang Lang to die for this Pearl of the Vermillion Bird?”
The old monk said, “Young Hero is a gifted genius, he can definitely make Dian Cang shine in the martial arts world.”
Qi Ying kneeled down and said, “Young Hero, please receive Sect Leader Dian Cang and lead the disciples to avenge our Master.”
Huang Rong Hua said, “Even Shaolin High Monk has spoken, are you really that ruthless, Young Hero?”
Zhang Qingyun bowed and said, “It’s just that this junior Zhang Qingyun is immoral and untalented, I’m afraid I’ve missed out on the reputation of the Cang Sect. Zhang Qingyun bowed and said,” It’s just that this junior Zhang Qingyun is immoral and untalented, I’m afraid I’ve missed out on the reputation of the Cang Sect.
Huang Ronghua said, “Good, today we have the witness of a high monk from Shaolin Sect. The Seventeenth Sect Leader of the Dian Cang Sect, Huang Ronghua, is at the foot of the Da Ba Mountain and he, Zhang Qingyun, is the eighteenth Sect Leader.” He started playing with the Mysterious Sky Sword in his hands.
Zhang Qingyun dropped to his knees and raised his hands above his head to receive the Mysterious Sky Sword.
Huang Rong Hua said, “This Mysterious Sky Sword is a treasure of my Cang Zhen Sect, an ancient divine weapon. We are both one of the Three Treasures of Martial Arts. I hope the Sect Leader can protect it well in the future.”
The Dian Cang disciples bowed in succession, “We pay our respects to the Sect Leader.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “Senior Huang, as long as I, Zhang Qingyun, am still alive, I will guard this sword well.” He turned around and said to the disciples, “Everyone, please get up.”
The old monk said, “As far as I know, this Mysterious Sky Sword was forged using the Thousand Year Dark Iron, and it was forged by the best blacksmith in the world, the Green Wind Sword. He has only forged two swords in his life, one Mysterious Sky Sword and the other White Cloud Sword, but he never thought that the Mysterious Sky Sword would actually be in the hands of Dian Cang and be in the hands of a young hero.
Huang Rong Hua said, “This Mysterious Heaven Sword was obtained by my sect’s grand master through a fortuitous encounter, and only the Sect Leader and a few other brothers in Dian Cang know about it. Very few people in the martial arts world know about it.”
The old monk said, “No wonder. If everyone knows that this sword is in the hands of the Dian Cang sect, then there will be endless trouble.”
Lei Qiuting asked curiously, “Brother Yun, aside from this sword, why do you have such a treasure on you? I don’t even know about it.”
Zhang Qingyun did not understand, “There’s no one here. I only have this Black Tortoise.” After which, he took out the pearl.
Huang Rong Hua was surprised and also took out the Pearl of the Vermillion Bird and said, “I really didn’t expect the Sect Leader to have the Black Tortoise Pearl on him. Now, we have found two of the four pearls.”
The old monk said, “Looks like the Evil Lord’s treasure can see the light of day again.”
Huang Rong Hua said, “Master, what do you mean?”
The old monk said, “There are two of the four Jewels here. The other two are in the hands of Sect Leader Su Chen, Shaolin, and Wudang Golden Silk Sword.” Everyone, come with me to Shaolin. Let me, Shaolin, write a letter.
Zhang Qingyun said, “Senior Huang, can you hand over your Vermillion Bird Divine Pearl?”
Although Huang Rong Hua didn’t know what he wanted the pearl for, the Sect Leader didn’t hesitate to ask, “Now that you are our Sect Leader, this pearl should be handed over to the Sect Leader.” As he spoke, he handed the Pearl of the Vermillion Bird to Zhang Qingyun.
Zhang Qingyun said, “Master, the pearl should belong to the entire martial arts world. As Shaolin is the leader of all the sects in the world, I will pass the divine pearl to Shaolin and ask master to bring it back to Shaolin Temple. When the day of the gathering of the heroes of the world comes to the heroes of the world, I will send the Sect Leader’s body to the Azure Mountain Range. ”
The old monk clasped his hands together and said, “Sect Leader Zhang is benevolent and righteous, this old monk will temporarily keep it safe. When I, Shaolin, launch the Hero Apostle quest, I would like to request that you, Sect Leader Zhang, come as well. “This old monk has done a great service to his master.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “Definitely, master.”
The old monk said, “Then I won’t disturb you any longer and will be leaving first.” He slowly walked out of the forest.
Huang Rong Hua was secretly happy. This youth’s mind was very clear when he dealt with things, so he let the Dian Cang turn the situation around and handed the divine bead to Shaolin. This way, Dian Cang would be able to protect his two divine beads. At the same time, those who fought in the martial arts world for the pearl would only look for Shaolin.
