Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 899: Beauty and Ugliness Revealed (7k)

In the other courtyard.

Bai Yu stood sideways, looking calm and relaxed, without even a hint of guard.

On the other side, Yang Zheng was giving it his all as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

When masters fight, they trust their intuition very much, and often one confrontation is enough to judge the strength and depth of the opponent.

Having been the chief eunuch for so many years, Yang Zheng was a first-rate judge of people... Staying in the palace, he could be said to have seen people all over the world. Even among the top ten martial artists, he had never seen someone so young, and he had no idea how strong the other person was.

You may not be able to see through it, but you must have courage and insight!

Yang Zheng took off the jade ring on his thumb, and there was a flash of light, and a pair of purple-gold pumpkin hammers appeared in his hands. The weight of the weapons could be clearly felt through the dented floor tiles under his feet.

He was the former strongest man with enormous strength, so he would naturally choose a weapon that is very suitable for his own strength. This pair of purple gold hammers were weapons bestowed on him by the previous emperor. It is said that they were imitations of the weapons of a person born with supernatural powers hundreds of years ago.

In the past, Yang Zheng actually preferred to use the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. Both of them are heavy weapons, but the Green Dragon Blade is more suitable for fighting on the battlefield, while the pair of purple gold hammers are more suitable for close combat... In a fight at the level of Martial Saint, defense has no practical effect, and the competition is still about martial arts.

The stronger one is, the more cautious one is in choosing weapons. Yang Zheng took the initiative to give up the Qinglong Sword which had a longer attack range and instead used the Purple Gold Hammer, which proved his prudence and also proved that he did not want to exchange his life with Bai Yu.

As the two men got ready, the cook beside them immediately hid herself, not even daring to take a look.

It is rumored that during the canonization battle, the sound and image alone will make the people watching nearby blind and deaf... This is actually an exaggeration. In fact, those who watch from a close distance will have their internal vital energy directly affected. If they are lucky, they will go insane and bleed from all seven orifices, and if they are unlucky, their dantian will explode and they will die.

However, it does not have that much suppressive power on ordinary people.

boom--!
Yang Zheng took the lead in swinging the sledgehammer in his hand and smashed it at Bai Yu's head. One downward smash and one horizontal sweep, attacking at the same time with completely different ways of using the two moves. It can be seen that this eunuch must be proficient in the art of fighting with both hands and can control his body perfectly.

The two hammers that seem to be light actually have restrained energy. There are special effects hidden in these purple gold hammers. When they touch the human body, they will produce a shock effect and cause secondary damage.

Even if it is a tank, if it is hit by this hammer, the armor itself may not be broken, but the crew inside will be crushed into meat paste.

Facing these two hammers, Bai Yu's response was to casually receive them with his bare hands.

These are two hammers from Li Kui. If any other saint saw this, they would definitely sigh that this kid is too arrogant.

But in fact, the hammer couldn't even touch the corner of Bai Yu's clothes.

Yang Zheng only felt a flash before his eyes, and the next moment, a hand pressed directly on his head, pushing him against the wall of the courtyard. He staggered backward, looked at the purple gold hammer in his hand in disbelief, and then looked at Bai Yu not far away, his eyes full of disbelief.

He wasn't hurt, but he just couldn't comprehend what had just happened.

"Is it because you didn't eat breakfast this morning?" Bai Yu hooked his finger: "Come again?"

The next moment, Yang Zheng gathered his strength and flew up again and smashed down the heavy hammer.

Then it was the same script again.

Bai Yu stood there motionless, but Yang Zheng was like a naughty child who was picked up and thrown away by an adult. He staggered backwards and broke the pillar.

The young man stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm: "Hungry guy, do you want a Snickers?"

This was the first time that Yang Zheng had encountered such a strange situation in all his years of roaming the martial arts world and the court. He immediately became angry.

He shouted angrily: "What kind of cunning tricks did you use!"

After saying that, he threw the purple gold hammer towards Bai Yu, and it passed by with two whooshes.

Bai Yu turned his wrist, and the purple gold hammer came rushing towards him with enough kinetic energy to smash through the city wall and break through Yanmen Pass, but all its power was instantly eliminated in the brief contact, and it was thrown on the spot like two insignificant stones.

A flash of green light was hidden behind the projected purple gold hammer. Yang Zheng swung the Qinglong Sword with the same attitude as splitting Mount Huashan and slashed towards Bai Yu. The bright green light stretched the sword to a height of nearly a hundred meters, just like a waning moon.

This time, Bai Yu did not take the knife, but turned sideways, avoiding the force of the knife that was about to hit the ground by a hair's breadth. The whistling green light slashed towards the mist in Baicao Valley, bursting out with the power to split mountains and crack rocks, which was then dissipated by the formation.

The sound of tearing cloth was heard, and Yang Zheng swung the sword so fast that it directly tore the sleeve.

Bai Yu didn't know when a crutch appeared in his hand. It was the crutch he used for support when his legs were weak due to the poison a few days ago. Now he used it as a weapon. He poked it lightly and hit the crescent-shaped sword. The next moment, Yang Zheng's body turned exaggeratedly two and a half circles.

He turned around with the knife's momentum and continued to chop towards Bai Yu, but was stopped by the crutch.

Bai Yu's tone was calm, and he seemed to be interested in strolling around: "You, the former leader of the Li Kui family, are not that great. It is said that you passed the title down after you got it? Could it be that you have been hiding in the palace, and no one from the outside world dared to challenge you, so you have been holding on to the title for so many years?"

Yang Zheng remained silent, the Qinglong sword in his hand danced out a residual image, the surrounding space collapsed, and the heavy handle in his hand directly danced out an arc.

The violent attack could not touch a single hair or piece of clothing of Bai Yu. He stepped forward and walked into the Qinglong sword force, like an intangible phantom, only occasionally raising his crutch to poke forward. Every time he raised his hand, Yang Zheng would keep retreating.

"If I really am the one who kidnapped the Ninth Princess, with your strength, can you stop me? Why would I need to plot all those schemes? It wouldn't be difficult to just stomp you to death. Having some strength is a good thing, but it's not worth losing your brain for it. What do you think?"

Amid the flying dust, most of the sword forces were suppressed within a few feet.

The young cook who secretly poked her head out from the back to look at the scene covered her mouth. She couldn't believe what she was seeing... This handsome young man was actually suppressing the legendary eunuch in the martial arts world.

That was not a fight between two evenly matched people, let alone a peak fight. It was clearly an adult teaching a child a lesson. She had a naughty child at home. Whenever she went back to visit her parents, she would always see her parents beating the child with a rattan stick, making the child scream.

This scene is so fitting.

But... that was Yang Zheng, the Grand Chamberlain. When he was guarding the imperial palace, countless martial arts masters died at his hands. He had never been defeated in decades, but here he was beaten like a grandson.

But Bai Yu deliberately stopped his hand. When the crutch could directly pierce Yang Zheng's throat, he stopped and said calmly: "Do you want to give you time to catch your breath? If you are not sober enough, you can continue."

Yang Zheng's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

He gritted his teeth secretly, wanting to use his unique skills to see if Bai Yu could continue to do it with ease.

But reason told him that if he did that, he would die... and he wouldn't even be able to save the Ninth Princess.

"You really didn't do it?" Yang Zheng asked through gritted teeth.

“No.” Bai Yu held the civilized staff in both hands and said calmly: “If it was really me who did this, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. It wouldn’t take even three moves to kill you… In the current Great Xia, except for Luo Hou, no one can defeat me!”

Yang Zheng stared at Bai Yu, his mind racing: "Are you the owner of Penglai Island?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "It can only be considered a certain relationship."

"Where on earth did Huang Qiyun go?"

"Of course it is..."

Just as Bai Yu was about to answer, there was a sudden sound of fierce wind in the distance. Green flames shot up into the sky, transforming into the shadows of a withered beauty in the foggy valley. Countless green fire butterflies flapped their wings and danced in the sky, filling the sky with residual light.

"——Want to leave? Can you leave?"

"Witch! I think you are crazy!"

It was obvious that someone was engaging in a fierce fight.

The moment Yang Zheng turned his gaze away, Bai Yu's back flashed away from the courtyard.

……

At this time, there was another group of people fighting in Baicao Villa.

The Wu family spear leader pointed his weapon at Huang Qiyun, a dragon shape condensed on his spear, and he swung the spear like a dancing flag. Every swing of the spear burst out with a thunderstorm, as if a mad dragon was swimming through it.

"Eight Ways of Dragon Fighting... Humph, break it for me!"

Huang Qiyun had already seen this move.

She pointed her finger into the air, and the withered bones revealed their red face. A huge white skeleton shadow emerged from under the sleeves, and the bones were covered with red spider lilies, exuding a terrifying aura.

The two canonized saints used their moves to collide with each other violently, and a large area of ​​the surrounding space was annihilated into nothingness.

The spear master had a stronger foundation and had a slight advantage, but he lost it again in a flash and didn't gain any advantage.

Because his old injury had not yet healed, the forceful action this time caused the wound in his lung to show signs of cracking.

Huang Qiyun tried to push back, but neither side was willing to back down and both became angry.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" The spear master said angrily: "Dragons fight in the wild, and the whole world is destroyed--"

Huang Qiyun narrowed his eyes, the bones beneath his robe looked eerie: "Thirty thousand withered bones were once a beauty, but Yama's smile ends the glory..."

The moment before the ultimate move is about to be unleashed.

A white shadow flashed between the two.

"Stop fighting!"

The actions of both parties came to a halt at the same time.

Huang Qiyun took the lead and wiped away the white bones and ashes that had appeared in the sky.

The Wu family's spear leader stopped only after seeing the newcomer and Huang Qiyun finishing their moves.

"Why are you so impulsive?" Huang Qiyun approached first and tugged at the young man's sleeve: "What if I didn't have time to stop and caused you to get hurt?"

"I believe you are not blinded by anger this time." Bai Yu turned around and smiled: "It doesn't matter if I get hurt. I am willing to bleed for you."

"You..." Huang Qiyun was teased again. She stomped her feet in anger and shame. The murderous aura in her body was instantly dispersed by the attitude of the satisfied little girl.

The gun leader's expression changed subtly when he saw this scene. He really couldn't connect the blushing woman in front of him with the crazy and charming female ghost just now. It was like a chicken and a basketball, which had nothing to do with each other.

However, as soon as Bai Yu showed up, the originally grim situation was dispelled.

Both sides are willing to sit down and have a good talk.

Bai Yu reached out and tidied up the hair that had escaped from Huang Qiyun's temples, then brought the topic back on track.

"Tell me, what's going on with you?"

The Gun Master said first: "Just now, when I was digging the tunnel, I sensed that Su Su was in danger."

"Sensed it?"

"If one piece of the concentric jade pendant is damaged, the other piece will also be damaged." Wu took out the broken jade pendant and said, "After I broke out of the ground, I saw this woman grabbing Su Su, as if she was going to do something illegal."

Huang Qiyun sneered: "What illegal things? Do you think I have that ability?"

"So, you think she wants to harm Wu Susu?"

"That's right." Wu Qiangkui stared at Huang Qiyun with a vigilant look on his face: "I don't trust this witch!"

Bai Yu interrupted, "Okay, that's enough for your speech... Then it's Qiyun, tell me about your situation?"

Huang Qiyun nodded: "I followed your request and quietly hid in the coffin yesterday when no one else was paying attention. Then I was transported to the ice cellar and waited in silence."

"What?!" Wu Qiangkui couldn't sit still after hearing this, and asked in surprise: "So you were the one who arranged her disappearance?"

He suddenly understood why Bai Yu was not in a hurry even though Huang Qiyun was missing.

Bai Yu covered one of his ears: "Why are you yelling so loudly? It's just a simple trick...Qiyun, please continue."

"I hid in the ice cellar and waited for a night. On the second day, someone came into the ice cellar and lifted the white cloth. I grabbed the other person's hand and confirmed his identity... According to the clues you gave me, if someone came to the underground ice cellar with the intention of stealing the body, then she is the murderer!"

Huang Qiyun raised his finger and pointed at Wu Susu: "She is the murderer!"

While giving the testimony, Yang Zheng also brought the little cook to this place. When people heard this, reactions varied.

The cook covered her mouth.

The gun leader was furious.

Yang Zheng seemed to be thinking about something.

Bai Yu looked calm.

The Wu family leader shook his head and said, "How could my niece be the murderer... Are you serious?" Bai Yu said calmly, "Indeed, that's what I told Qiyun. Anyone who steals the body is most likely the murderer."

"What a joke." The spear master said to protect his son, "She is a weak woman, how can she possibly kill anyone!"

"A weak woman may not be incapable of killing someone." Bai Yu denied: "Even if she is a weak woman, she can use drugs to knock someone unconscious and then bleed them... without blood, the body will become much lighter. It's not difficult after you master the technique."

"You said that the murderer of the blood-stained shirt case is the same person, but the blood-stained shirt case first happened eight years ago. Wu Susu was only in her early teens at that time, right?" Yang Zheng looked at the panicked Wu Susu and said, "How could he be the murderer?"

"That's true." Bai Yu said without hesitation, "And the Ninth Princess also said before that the murderer was a man. I guess I was wrong."

The gun leader breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you really wanted to prove that Su Su was the murderer."

Bai Yu touched his chin and said, "This is a trap I left behind in the ice cellar. The real purpose is not this."

Yang Zheng's heart was shocked, and he asked, "So you already know who the murderer is?"

"Yes." Bai Yu nodded: "But before that, let's find the Ninth Princess first. I think Yang Diao Si has searched the entire Baicao Villa, right?"

"Yes." Yang Zheng asked anxiously: "Where is His Highness?"

"Where else could it be?" Bai Yu tilted his head and pointed with his eyes: "In the entire Baicao Villa, there is only one place you haven't been to, right?"

“You mean, the Medical Saint’s residence?” Yang Zheng hesitated and said, “But… Hou Moliuming is still there, and there is also a semi-saint puppet of Gongshu family to guard it.”

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Just go ahead. Don't worry, you are only facing a semi-saint puppet. The Medical Saint will not stop you, and will not even scold you. If you are worried, we can go together. Can a semi-saint puppet stop so many people?"

"Okay!" Yang Zheng agreed immediately.

The group came to the lotus pond again.

The semi-saint puppet was still standing here, but after realizing that someone was trying to force his way in, he grabbed the oar. After the oar was grabbed, the outer shell broke, revealing the true appearance inside, which was a long steel stick.

"I'm eager to find my master. Sorry for bothering you!" Yang Zheng shouted loudly.

But the Medical Saint actually did not respond or say anything.

Just take it as Hou Mo's leaving his name as consent for them to enter the cabinet to search.

Yang Zheng took the lead and started a fight with the Semi-Saint Puppet.

However, he couldn't take down the puppet by himself for the time being, and the Gun Leader didn't plan to step forward to help, after all, he was still injured.

After Bai Yu agreed, Huang Qiyun took the initiative to help, and the two of them entangled the Semi-Saint Puppet.

Others took the opportunity to enter the Medical Saint's residence.

There is a smell of herbs here, and the internal structure is not complicated.

After searching for a while, they couldn't find the missing Ninth Princess in the museum and thought they had made a mistake.

But as Bai Yu stomped his feet and forcefully broke the ground, everyone fell into an underground layer, where there was a different world under the lotus pond.

The pool is just a camouflage layer more than one meter deep, and it also hides a dark room underground.

He had suffered losses from digging tunnels before, but this time he could sense that there was a large open space underground just by stomping his feet.

In the dark room, the missing Ninth Princess was soon found.

She was lying on a warm jade bed, her face pale, her wrists cut and blood flowing through pipes into a container. She temporarily lost consciousness, but her life was not in danger and she had not bled to death. It seemed that someone had taken measures to stop the bleeding.

"Your Highness is really here..." After seeing this with his own eyes, the Wu family spear leader suddenly felt his scalp tingling: "This, doesn't this mean..."

"This conclusion is not difficult to guess, is it?" Bai Yuheng picked up the little princess and said confidently: "The murderer of the bloody clothes case and the medical saint who saved countless lives are actually the same person."

The truth was spoken in a light-hearted tone, like a thunderclap.

When the resounding voice fell, everyone who heard the answer was speechless in shock.

"This, this..." The Gun Master was so horrified that he was almost incoherent: "How is this possible?"

Bai Yu said calmly, "Keep going down, you will definitely find more evidence. After all, human experiments must have a lot of data left."

Wu Qiangkui immediately rushed to the lower level.

A moment later, Yang Zheng and Huang Qiyun, who had defeated the Semi-Saint Puppet, also saw the underground entrance and followed in.

The two men were equally stunned and angry when they saw the shocking scenes in the dark room.

"I wish I could eat this old man alive!"

Wu Qiangkui roared angrily and smashed the utensils with his fists, clearing the table in an instant and leaving a mess.

He knew Hou Moliuming and had thanked him profusely for saving his niece's life.

Who would have thought that the other party was the real murderer and culprit in the bloody clothes case!

The evidence is conclusive and there is no room for excuses!

"Damn old thing, he actually deceived the whole world!" Yang Zheng was also furious. His anger was not because of the hatred of his relatives, but because he felt that he had been fooled. The whole world had been fooled by such a person. The other party despised the martial arts world, the imperial power, and even the order that he had guarded for most of his life.

As the chief eunuch of the imperial palace, Yang Zheng is loyal to the imperial power, but he also has ideals. He believes that there should be order under the sky, the underworld should be under the underworld, the court should be under the court, and they should be clearly distinguished from each other. No one should break the law with force, and taking human life lightly is a crime worthy of death.

If the deeds of this Medical Saint were to be spread, it would definitely cause great turmoil.

Huang Qiyun appeared to be quite calm, with a look of confusion, bewilderment and melancholy alternating between them.

"I never thought that the culprit who had me shoulder the blame for so many years would be the medical saint who is respected as a half-master by doctors all over the world..."

"I was stigmatized and stabbed through the heart by a sword from my closest relatives, while he hid in the valley and was admired by the world."

"He is clearly a criminal who has committed a serious crime and is punishable by anyone, but he is also a living Bodhisattva who has saved countless lives."

She closed her eyes, and the smile she showed was not one of joy, but of exhaustion: "How ironic."

"I just took a quick look..." Bai Yu picked up the information and analyzed, "The reason why he created the blood-stained shirt case was to collect blood and samples for research. Medical research must proceed step by step, which is difficult. Direct human experiments are also a way."

"When we rescued the Ninth Princess and Wu Susu, we were essentially using them as experimental subjects."

"The so-called blood poison is actually the sequelae left in the process of him replacing their whole body blood."

"So this blood poison..." Yang Zheng asked: "Is there a cure?"

"The solution he proposed is to replace blood every once in a while." Bai Yu shook the paper in his hand: "To replace blood with a living person, you need blood from other people. You have to draw out all the blood from one person before you can save another person."

In fact, from the perspective of future generations, Hou Moliu's research was quite advanced. Although he clearly did not understand the basic structure of blood, he began to study artificial plasma and even succeeded in a small part, suppressing the rejection reaction of blood transfusion to five years later.

Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and had to admit that the other party was a genius.

"It's absolutely heartbreaking!"

"He didn't even let his own daughter Hou Molan go!" Huang Qiyun sighed: "Hou Molan also became a victim of the experiment."

"If we only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, then in the future..." The gun leader was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Everyone looked at the information and felt shocked.

"This harmful medical heresy should be burned down to the ground, and no information should be left behind!"

Although people had different reactions to the burning of these materials, they ultimately reached the same conclusion and established a front.

"The old villain Hou Mo deserves to be killed. He will definitely die today!" Wu Qiangkui raised his gun and said, "I will make sure he dies a miserable death! He will never be able to be reborn!"

“That’s right, Hou Moliuming must die today. Even the Jade Emperor cannot stop him!” Yang Zheng also wanted to kill him. This kind of unruly murderer must not be kept alive.

"But where did he go?" Huang Qiyun asked, "We have searched Baicao Villa thoroughly, but we didn't see him at all."

"Maybe he has already escaped."

"Maybe this old guy escaped yesterday and deliberately asked us to search for the murderer, but he was actually stalling for time!"

"Damn it! With his medical skills, it would be very easy for him to change his appearance. How can we find him in such a big world?"

Amidst the controversy.

A voice sounded, interrupting the emotional debate.

It was because the person who was speaking was always slow and steady, with a stern expression, not affected by any emotion at all, and his eyes were as sharp as torches, scanning the crowd indifferently. The people who were being looked at naturally fell into silence and quiet, turning from speakers into listeners.

"Not in a hurry."

The young man said slowly: "You have to eat one bite at a time, and do things one by one... If you want to take revenge, there is no need to rush now."

"The crimes of the Medical Saint have been fully exposed, and the time is almost up."

"So……"

"It's time for me to name the murderer, too."

These words left everyone confused.

"Why do we need to name the murderer? Hasn't it been clear for a long time?" The Gun Leader asked in confusion: "Isn't the murderer the old villain Hou Moliuming? He is also a man, which is consistent with what the Ninth Princess said before. Everything here is solid evidence!"

Bai Yu explained: "The murderer of the bloody clothes case was indeed Hou Moliuming, but... the case that happened in Baicao Villa was not his doing."

"what?"

Yang Zheng glanced at the Ninth Princess and asked, "Didn't you say before that the murderer of the blood-stained clothes case would be the same person?"

Bai Yuping shook his head calmly.

“I didn’t make a definitive conclusion at the time.”

"What I'm saying is - even if it's a copycat, the other party must have a very deep understanding of the murderer's murder methods, otherwise he wouldn't have imitated it so vividly. So from this, we can judge that the other party is also closely related to the blood-stained clothes case..."

"In other words, if it is a copycat, this person must have a deep understanding of the murderer, or even be one of the accomplices in the case."

Yang Zheng was slightly startled: "Accomplice?"

Bai Yu nodded: "Although Hou Moliu Ming is the mastermind, no one has said it. He acted alone, right?"

"The murderer in the blood-stained shirt case is not the same person as the current murderer."

"Or rather...there have always been two real murderers."

"After all, medicine needs to be passed down."

“Research also requires assistants.”

"Of course he can't be alone."

"In Hou Moliuming's eyes, isn't there just one person who can be trusted and entrusted with important tasks, and who can inherit all that he has learned throughout his life?"

In the dark room in the basement, the light was not sufficient and the lights were flickering.

Everyone stands at the junction of darkness and light, with bottomless darkness behind them.

"Aren't you coming out yet?"

"You have already revealed your beauty and ugliness."

Bai Yu read out the man's name.

"Hou Molan."
