Chapter 107: So Angry You Spit Blood!

  Wu Xian thanked Lei Xiangdong and then asked: "Mu Rong brothers, where are you planning to go?"

  It was only a brief exchange, but both the thief and Lei Dong were stunned. Although they had not seen anyone stronger than the Martial Emperor realm before, they felt that Murong Tianyu's physical strength and movement skills had reached an unimaginable level.

  Those thieves were momentarily stunned, and the one-eyed thief pulled Wu Xian and said: "Brother Wu, you're not joking, are you? You obviously have the upper hand, but..." Wu Xian glared at him, and the one-eyed thief was startled, hastily letting go of his hand. Wu Xian turned to Murong Tianyu and asked: "Although you are young, your strength is impressive, may I ask who your master is?"

  Murong Tianyu felt that every move and every style was at his beck and call, although it was only a brief exchange, but to defeat Wu Xian, Murong Tianyu had the confidence to defeat him in 30 moves or less. However, Wu Xian's spear technique was exquisite, and his strength was high, if he hadn't reached the Wu Zong realm, Murong Tianyu also didn't have the confidence to win against him. Rarely encountering such an opponent, Murong Tianyu changed his knife technique, using "Po Shan Tian Dao" to exchange blows with Wu Xian.

  Murong Tianyu heard about Xuanzun's matter, his heart felt a pang of sadness, but he immediately nodded and said: "Temptation attacks the heart, but we won't fall for this!"

  Wu Xian let out a soft "oh" and said, "Recently, rumors have been circulating on the Penglai Continent that the heavenly book 'Shennü Bǎojiàn' was originally held by the Daofu Temple. This 'Shennü Bǎojiàn' is said to be passed down from the human ancestor Tiānwǔ. The book not only records the ancient history of humanity but also contains the most supreme and unparalleled techniques. 5,000 years ago, it was obtained by Tian Tong and stored in a certain location on the Penglai Continent. However, Tian Tong ascended to immortality too early and did not pass on the book to future generations. The strength of the Daofu Temple is probably unmatched among the sects on the Pangu Continent, so there is some credibility to this rumor. Later, a predecessor secretly entered the Daofu Temple and copied the 'Shennü Bǎojiàn', but was discovered by the temple's people. Although this predecessor had extremely high martial arts skills, they were ultimately killed in the pursuit by the temple's strong masters. However, the Daofu Temple's people could not find the copied heavenly book. Therefore, many powerful individuals have recently gone to the Penglai Continent to search for treasure. Although the Daofu Temple has consistently clarified that there is no 'Shennü Bǎojiàn' within the temple, no one believes it. At this time, many people are secretly causing trouble for the Daofu Temple, and the predecessor who stole the book was killed at the edge of the continent after escaping, so many people have gone to search for clues in the places he passed through."

  Murong Tianyu said: "We are going with Leigang to Xiyue State and take a boat to Penglai Continent?"

  Lei Dong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and pearls of sweat flowed down his face! Lin Jingjun knew that Murong Tianyu had been thinking hard about practicing after breaking through to the Wu Zong realm, and his strength had increased greatly. Wu Xian's gun skills were not ordinary, but she was full of confidence in Murong Tianyu. She said softly: "Lei brother, don't worry, Brother Yu will definitely win!" Lei Dong heard this, and his face relaxed slightly. He knew that these two siblings understood martial arts, and seeing Lin Jingjun so confident, his heart also settled a lot.

  Wu Xian, under the stimulation of the knife's edge, already knew the pros and cons of this move, and didn't dare to collide head-on. He took a step back and jumped up to maintain distance with Murong Tianyu. Murong Tianyu succeeded in his first move, and his knife intent was endless. With both feet pushing forward, he pounced towards Wu Xian!

  Murong Tianyu nodded secretly, this Wu Xian was a bit stubborn, but at least he could stick to his principles, and was indeed a man of honor! Lei Xiangdong was also a person who knew the importance of the situation, and upon hearing Wu Xian's words, he hastily took out 100 taels and handed them over to the one-eyed bandit, saying: "This contest is a draw, my family has old and young, every time we go out to make money, it's not much, this is 100 taels, I hope you will accept it and let us pass!"

  Lin Jingjun said with a sneer: "It's lucky those rough people believed it!"

  In the hands of Murong Tianyu, "Po Shan Heavenly Blade" is not as powerful as "Crazy Knife Six Styles", but by using "Po Shan Heavenly Blade", Murong Tianyu can better feel the flow of true energy and grasp the subtle changes in the rotation of true energy at the Wu Zong boundary.

  "Alright, we'll definitely look for Big Brother Wu when we arrive and have a drink with him!"

  Wu Xian let out a sigh and said, "To be frank, the Wu family was originally one of the three major families in Ling Xiao Country. We were responsible for training soldiers for the imperial court. However, due to the turmoil within the imperial court, our supported royal faction lost the throne, and as a result, our entire family was sentenced to death. Many talented individuals who were nurtured by the Wu family secretly plotted to rescue my ancestors on the execution grounds. Although most of them still met their demise, the Wu lineage managed to continue. During our escape, my father fell gravely ill but was fortunate enough to be rescued by fellow refugees. My father then taught these people a set of knife techniques called 'Liu Ye Dao' and promised that if they or their descendants came seeking help in the future, the Wu family would provide full assistance. Later on, my father settled down in Lou Lan Country and worked as a bodyguard, living a peaceful life. Before he passed away at the age of 20, he still remembered the kindness of those people. After I mastered my skills, I once helped a merchant escort his goods and encountered this one-eyed thief who was using our family's 'Liu Ye Dao' technique. Although it wasn't powerful, I had also practiced it before. Upon inquiry, I discovered that he was the descendant of one of the people my father had helped in the past. Therefore, I agreed to help them three times, but only robbed merchants and not civilians, and without harming anyone. This way, I could repay their kindness. Although I lost to the Murong brothers this time, I still did my best, and there's no debt between us."

  Murong Tianyu said, "I don't dare, but Brother Wu's marksmanship is impressive, and he is a straightforward and upright person. Why would someone like him become a thief? With Brother Wu's abilities, I believe many wealthy people would be willing to hire him at a high salary!" Murong Tianyu's words were not wrong. Wu Xian's strength, even if placed in the Sacred Spirit Continent, was not comparable to that of Xu Shaoyang and other strong practitioners, but at least he was above Xu Feng and Honggui. If he himself had not broken through to the Martial Ancestor realm, he might not have been a match for him.

  Although Wu Xian is a thief, Murong Tianyu has a very good impression of him and says: "I am Murong Tianyu, a disciple of the Heavenly Lord's Gate on the Sacred Spirit Continent. I have just arrived at the Xuantong Continent and met a master like Brother Wu, it's really fortunate!" These words are indeed his true feelings, after this battle, his martial arts have reached perfection, and he also has an understanding of his own strength.

  Wu Xian also smiled and said, "The Mu Rong brothers are indeed pure-hearted and deserve praise. Even if the book was really stolen, it's impossible for it to be 'The Divine Maiden's Treasure'. Let's just treat it as a joke. It was great meeting all of you, I'll take my leave first. If the Mu Rong brothers have time in the future, they can come to Loulan Country and meet with me again. As long as they ask around about the Wu family escort agency in Loulan Country, they'll be able to find me!"

  Murong Tianyu was secretly shocked, this Wu surname's aura was so casual, at least reaching the Wu Zong realm. He had just reached the Wu Zong realm but never had a worthy opponent to test himself against, now he was eager to give it a try!

  Murong Tianyu returned a courtesy and said: "Younger brother Murong Tianyu, please!" With a swing of his sword, the blade pointed at Wu Xian!

  Among masters, every move can demonstrate one's strength. Wu saw that Murong Tianyu was young in age, but his knife moves were steady and powerful. Since he had witnessed his own gun skills and still wanted to come forward for a trial, he was definitely not an ordinary person! He said: "Good, I am Wu Xian, may I ask your great name?"

  Murong Tianyu blocked seven knives, his breath changing with his will, and he couldn't help but feel great joy. With a turn of the knife's surface, the tip of the knife moved up and down, exactly as it should in the "Whirlwind Style". Under the entanglement of the spiral energy, the attack range of the knife tip increased by several inches. As long as one was touched by this energy, they would be brought into the range of the knife's whirlwind motion, and would be injured by the knife. This move greatly increased the attack range, making it difficult for the enemy to dodge.

  This also counts as Wu Xian helping them get 100 taels, which is a big fortune. The one-eyed thief naturally understood that 100 taels was a large sum of money. If it weren't for Wu Xian, they would usually only rob ordinary civilians, and merchants generally had guards; unless they were certain, they wouldn't dare make a move. The one-eyed thief put away the 100 taels, thanked Wu Xian, and fled with the other thieves.

  The two men exchanged over 50 moves, with Wu Xian's gun technique growing stronger and more powerful. His guns seemed to have a life of their own, changing direction and force at will. Although Murong Tianyu was at a disadvantage throughout, he managed to narrowly escape each time he was in danger. Except for Lin Jingjun, everyone else, including Lei Xiangdong, was worried about Murong Tianyu. They didn't know that Murong Tianyu was actually indulging in the feeling of his true energy circulating rapidly within him. This feeling was very strange and couldn't be experienced during normal training. Under Wu Xian's exquisite gun technique, the oppressive feeling caused Murong Tianyu to feel a sense of crisis, leading to his true energy circulating more smoothly, quickly, and freely. Despite each move being life-threatening, Murong Tianyu continued to counterattack recklessly, seeking to comprehend this aura.

  "With a shout, Wu Xian only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and Murong Tianyu was already several feet away from him. He fearlessly grasped his gun with both hands and swept it across, trying to force Murong Tianyu out of the way. Murong Tianyu did not expect Wu Xian's marksmanship to be so exceptional, that such a long gun could change from thrusting to sweeping in such a short time, and he couldn't help but secretly admire him. He raised his knife to meet it, and the knife and gun clashed, colliding with a loud crash, as Wu Xian borrowed the force to leap sideways."

  Everyone was shocked, Wu Xian had been in the upper hand all along, why did he admit defeat! Murong Tianyu was practicing happily, it's hard to find such a high-level expert, and he wanted to experience more. When he heard Wu Xian say this, he immediately understood, took a step back, put away his residual knife, and said: "Thank you for your teachings, brother! Your gun skills are extraordinary!" He knew that Wu Xian's gun skills were excellent, with great talent, and in the exchange of blows, he already knew that his strength was not as good as Murong Tianyu. It was just that the opponent used himself to practice his knife, so he simply admitted defeat. For young and growing high-level experts, talent and acquired efforts are the most important, but heart and chest are also an important factor. If you get stuck in winning or losing at a young age, your progress will inevitably be slow.

  "Are you going to Penglai Continent to find treasure?" Wu Xian asked.

  Based on the "Liang Yang Gong", "Kuang Dao Liu Shi" and "Hong Ming Zhang" are Mu Rong Tian Yu's ultimate moves to defeat his enemies, but in order to reach the Wu Zong realm or even break through to the Wu Di realm, he must rely on the "Po Shan Tian Dao". Although Mu Rong Tian Yu's "Po Shan Tian Dao" is only a small success, its changes and applications are still somewhat immature, and it is rarely used against enemies. However, this is a heavenly-level scripture, and the single wind is specially tailored to Mu Rong Tian Yu's martial arts path, making it an extraordinary knife technique that is not to be underestimated when wielded by Mu Rong Tian Yu in the Wu Zong realm.

  Wu's long spear was withdrawn, and he said, "Thank you for the lesson!" Liang Da's face turned ashen, defeated in a single move, something that had never happened before. The bandits cheered, seemingly certain of getting their silver. Lei Dong's expression changed, and he shook his head, whispering to Liang Er, "Give them the silver!" Before Liang Er could respond, Murong Tianyu dismounted and said, "Wait a moment, Brother Lei, let me have a word with him!" He then walked forward, spear in hand, saying, "This brother's spear technique is exquisite; I'd like to exchange moves with him!"

  Murong Tianyu's knife back rotated in front of his body, with true energy overflowing on the outside of the knife back. As it rotated, a vortex of true energy formed, and the seven spears stabbed at different angles within this vortex, their force completely twisted. With a shift in force, the spear turned, naturally unable to hit Murong Tianyu. Wu Xian was greatly shocked - he had never encountered such a defensive knife technique before.

  Wu Xian's eyebrows tightened, and he thrust out seven spears at Murong Tianyu. Each spear shone with a cold light, its power accumulating and ready to be unleashed, as fast as lightning. Murong Tianyu exclaimed "Good!" and swung his knife back, using the "Coiling Knife Style" to guard against the vital points.

  Miss, you don't know the whole story. The legend of Penglai Continent has been passed down for generations that after the Three Saints ruled the world, one of them indeed obtained the "Divine Maiden's Treasure" and understood all the secrets of ancient times. This is undoubtedly true. However, except for Tian Tong, Xuan Zun left behind no cultivation methods or magical artifacts other than his personal weapons, which has become a historical mystery. The descendants of Xuan Zun, the Murong family, have long since declined and were even rumored to have been exterminated a few years ago, clearly not possessing high-level cultivation methods. The descendants of Jun Huang have great power on Shenwu Continent but have never been able to rise above the various sects, holding the highest position. Only Tian Tong had traveled extensively before his death, spreading Buddhist teachings throughout Penglai Continent. Although he didn't have any inner disciples or direct descendants, in reality, most of the Buddhist schools on Penglai Continent were founded by him, and it can be said that his influence is everywhere. Precisely because Tian Tong did not stay in one place but traveled extensively to spread his teachings, the opportunity for him to obtain the "Divine Maiden's Treasure" was great. Moreover, after Tian Tong's death, there wasn't a single relic passed down through the ages, so it's not strange that his relics were collected by someone or hidden away somewhere. The reason why Daofu Temple has been able to dominate Penglai Continent for thousands of years is also because the strong cultivators within the temple have emerged one after another, making people believe in its power. That senior's theft of the book was absolutely true; even if it wasn't the "Divine Maiden's Treasure", just a divine-level cultivation method or scripture would be enough to drive the Jianghu world crazy. Only some powerful seniors from famous sects wouldn't participate due to their status, but many cultivators who have reached a bottleneck or those who revel in chaos would go there either to seek out cultivation methods or to stir up trouble. Even Daofu Temple's high-ranking monks sent out many strong experts to search for it, and unexpectedly, even the number one sect in the world, Daofu Temple, was also left worried and frustrated by this matter!

  "Treasure hunting?" Murong Tianyu asked: "I'm just going to find medicine, not treasure hunting, what does Wu Da Ge mean by this?"

  Wu Xian and Murong Tianyu exchanged a smile, bid farewell to Lei Xiangdong and others, and left with light footwork.

  The two of them exchanged over 20 moves, and Mu Rong Tian Yu's movements became more fluid and natural. The power of his broken sword increased with each strike, and every time Wu Xian unleashed a flurry of gunshots, Mu Rong Tian Yu was able to counter with a swift slash of his sword. For every three shots Wu Xian fired, Mu Rong Tian Yu would retaliate with one swing of his sword. Mu Rong Tian Yu felt that he had made great progress in controlling the flow of true energy and mastering the "Broken Mountain Heavenly Sword" technique, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. But Wu Xian suddenly feigned a shot and leapt back, saying: "I concede defeat!"

  Wu Xian didn't dare to slack off, both hands grasped the gun, and operated with precision!

  At first, it was just to make the true energy rotate to be able to unload the enemy's strength, but after several days of bitter practice, I felt that this spiral energy could rotate at high speed, and its power was not trivial. Whether defending or attacking the enemy, its power doubled.

  Wu Xian said: "It turns out that the Murong brothers came from the Holy Spirit Continent, and gained a lot from fighting with you. I am a descendant of the Wu family, this set of 'Dragon Traveling Gun' gun techniques, after mastering it, there are few enemies, today defeated by Murong's hands, convinced and willing to surrender!"

  Wu Xian's spear turned, and the power of the seven spears all changed direction. If Murong Tianyu hadn't reached the Wu Zong realm, he might have been flustered. But at this moment, the "Coiling Knife Style" had taken shape, a stream of true energy wrapped around his arm and flowed into the knife body, with an extremely fast flow rate, forming a rotating force, which was exactly the spiral energy that Murong Tianyu had comprehended.
