Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 260: Battle with the Queen
The cargo ship of the Dongming Sect was one-third larger than an ordinary passenger ship. It was like a huge monster, slowly approaching the dock outside Yangzhou City, about twenty or thirty feet away from the dock.

Chu Yuan stood at the bow and immediately saw the pair of stunning women who looked like sisters standing in the middle of the crowd at the dock.

There seems to be a natural aura between the two of them.

People can notice them at a glance even from a very far distance, among a large crowd.

One of them was Wanwan.

The other person had a half-covered veil on her face, her hair tied in a high bun, and a graceful figure. Although her full appearance could not be seen, one could tell from her looks, temperament, and body shape that she was a peerless beauty.

"It's the 'Queen of Yin' Zhu Yuyan and her heir Wanwan!"

Shan Wanjing, who was standing behind Chu Yuan, also noticed the two stunningly charming women standing at the dock outside Yangzhou City.

The older one among them was her grandmother.

As a daughter raised by her mother since childhood, Shan Wanjing has always had conflicting feelings towards the Yinkui Sect and her grandmother Zhu Yuyan.

When Chu Yuan's eyes fell on Wanwan and the charming woman beside her, the woman seemed to sense something as well and looked towards Chu Yuan.

"You guys wait on the boat first."

Chu Yuan said to Shan Wanjing and Fu Jun'er beside him.

After saying this, he stood by the boat, looking at Wanwan and Zhu Yuyan from afar: "Miss Wanwan, I didn't expect that we would meet again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yuan jumped off the boat, his body floating like a willow leaf, and landed on the surface of the canal.

Chu Yuan stepped on the river surface with his feet, walking on the water as if it were flat ground, strolling leisurely and calmly, walking step by step towards the shore of Yangzhou Wharf.

Every step you take creates ripples on the surface of the river.

"Look!"

"There is a fairy in the river!"

"Walking on water, this shouldn't be something that can be done with light functions, right?"

This scene happened to be seen by the boatmen on the boat docked at the pier outside Yangzhou City, as well as many tourists and civilians on the pier.

They all looked at Chu Yuan walking from the river to the shore with disbelief, as if they had seen a fairy. They pointed their fingers into the river, and many people exclaimed.

In addition, Chu Yuan was wearing a Taoist robe, with his hair tied in a bun, and dressed like a Taoist priest, so many people even regarded Chu Yuan as an immortal.

They knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Chu Yuan continuously, and worshipped Chu Yuan as if he were an immortal.

At first, there were only a few boatmen, tourists and common people who saw Chu Yuan walking from the river to the pier.

However, as more and more people on the boat and at the dock kowtowed, it caused a sensation. Almost all the boatmen and people on the shore noticed Chu Yuan, so more and more people knelt down, almost accounting for more than half of the people at the dock.

"Master..."

Wanwan also saw this scene. She had never seen anyone walk on water as if it were flat ground. She looked at her master Zhu Yuyan beside her, wanting to ask for her opinion.

"Is this person the Taoist Qingyang?"

Zhu Yuyan asked Wanwan.

"good."

Wanwan nodded.

She looked at Chu Yuan with some suspicion. The last time she saw Chu Yuan, she had never seen him display such abilities.

Wanwan then asked her master Zhu Yuyan beside her: "Master, what is going on? Is this something that can be achieved with light abilities?"

Be it her master Zhu Yuyan or all the masters she had met before, they had never seen anyone who could walk on the river like this, as if it were flat ground.

world.

Most people who perform Qinggong and those who are masters of Qinggong can only move fast by using the force of the shore.

But there is a limit to that.

Just like at this moment, Chu Yuan's feet seemed to be on the ground, walking towards the shore step by step.

Zhu Yuyan looked at Chu Yuan who jumped up from the cargo ship and walked towards the shore on the water, and praised: "As expected of the famous Taoist Qingyang in the martial arts world, he actually possesses such incredible lightness skills."

Zhu Yuyan then explained to her disciple Wanwan: "Just because ordinary Qinggong cannot be done doesn't mean that the 'Eternal Life Secret' cannot be done. You should know that the 'Eternal Life Secret' is a miraculous skill passed down by the ancient Yellow Emperor's teacher, the immortal Guangchengzi."

In fact, it was just as Zhu Yuyan guessed.

The reason why Chu Yuan could do what he did now, walking directly on the water as if on flat ground, completely surpassing the scope of light work, was because of the "Eternal Life Secret".

Just like the two dragons who had each mastered a set of "Eternal Life Secrets" diagrams, they possessed special abilities such as enhanced lightness skills, rapid recovery of breath, and holding breath underwater for a long time.

Chu Yuan, who also practiced the seven human body diagrams in "The Secret of Immortality", possessed many more special abilities than Shuanglong.

This includes the ability to walk directly on the water at this moment.

Even when Chu Yuan is underwater, not only does he have the ability to hold his breath for a long time like Shuanglong, he also feels like a fish in water.

Chu Yuan discovered this ability on the boat while sailing south after his martial arts skills had improved greatly recently.

Chu Yuan had tried this before by jumping off the boat into the canal and walking on the water when no one was around.

In addition, he also tried to go underwater and found that as long as he was in the water, he could feel at ease like a fish.

Chu Yuan could only attribute all these anomalies to the power of the "Eternal Life Secret".

After all, "The Secret of Immortality" is the martial arts method left by Guangchengzi.

Chu Yuan walked on the water all the way to the shore of Yangzhou Wharf.

"Master Qingyang, we meet again."

Wanwan looked at Chu Yuan walking from the water to the shore and smiled, releasing her charm intentionally or unintentionally.

Even though Master Zhu Yuyan was about to take action to kill Chu Yuan, the disciples of the Yinkui Sect were like this. Their skills were originally related to improving one's own charm, so they would not reveal their malicious intent. They would wait until the other party let down their guard before delivering a fatal blow.

Before, Wanwan had also thought about using her charm to gain Chu Yuan’s trust and make Chu Yuan fall in love with her.

but……

Firstly, Master Feixuan was always there to disrupt the situation, and secondly, Chu Yuan had said before in the ruined temple that he was proficient in dual cultivation techniques.

This made her dare not act rashly.

He was afraid that what Chu Yuan said was true, and that he would be throwing a meat bun at a dog, with nothing coming back, and that would be a big loss for him.

Chu Yuan ignored Wanwan and looked at Zhu Yuyan: "Who is this..."

Before Wanwan could say anything, Zhu Yuyan said bluntly, "I am Zhu Yuyan, Wanwan's master."

"So it's Queen Yin who's here." Chu Yuan's eyes were calm, and there didn't seem to be any surprise on his face: "I just don't know if Queen Yin is here for the "Eternal Life Secret" or if she wants to kill me?"

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the moment Chu Yuan saw the Queen of Yin Zhu Yuyan, he felt a strong sense of coldness in Zhu Yuyan’s eyes.

This chilling feeling made his hair stand on end, as if some catastrophic disaster was about to befall him.

Chu Yuan felt that this must be the strong murderous intention of Queen Yin Zhu Yuyan directed at him.

"All."

Zhu Yuyan looked at Chu Yuan and said, "We in the Yinkui Sect want the Secret of Immortality. Your existence has also affected many plans of our Yinkui Sect and the Demon Sect. We also want your life."

Chu Yuan said: "Queen Yin has taken action personally, so it seems there is no room for negotiation?"

Zhu Yuyan shook her head and said from behind her veil: "You must die today."

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and said, "It seems like this is a pity. Your Yinkui Sect and I are destined to be enemies."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yuan's five orifices opened, and the vast amount of innate five elements spiritual energy around him gathered towards his body. He continuously absorbed it into his body, transformed it into innate true qi, and returned it to his five internal organs.

So that the five energies in the chest appear and disappear.

The next moment, Chu Yuan disappeared from the spot.

At the moment of disappearing, Chu Yuan appeared in front of Zhu Yuyan, who was two meters away. His right fist stretched out from his sleeve and, with an indestructible force, hit Zhu Yuyan's chest.

Oncoming hand!
This is the first move in Chu Yuan's original creation "Hundred-Step Divine Fist".

Chu Yuan previously created the "Hundred-Step Divine Fist", which has very simple moves to make it easier for others to practice.

There are only six moves, namely, the face-to-face hand, the hammer, the tiger pouncing on its food, the bear fishing from the bottom, the double moons sealing the sky, and the immortal lifting the tripod.

This kind of boxing is simple and easy to learn. Even if you are not very smart and have never learned martial arts, or an older person, after studying for a period of time, you can learn the basics.

However, this kind of boxing is easy to learn but difficult to master.

It is easy to learn, but extremely difficult to master it.

As the founder of this style of boxing, Chu Yuan has perfect mastery of this style of boxing. With a single strike he can bring out the essence and charm of "Hundred-Step Divine Fist".

It feels like the previous world, when Taizu Changquan was in Qiao Feng's hands, its power was comparable to that of magical skills.

But the Zhu Yuyan in front of him was no mediocre person. She was the most powerful martial artist in the world except for the three great masters. Together with the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, she was one of the two most powerful and famous martial artists in the Demon Sect.

He is the strongest person below the Grandmaster.

Zhu Yuyan calmly watched Chu Yuan attack her, responding to all attacks with a calm gaze. Then the next moment, Zhu Yuyan's loud shout rang in Chu Yuan's ears.

With Chu Yuan's martial arts skills, he actually felt his ears were pricking with pain as if they were being pricked by needles.

Zhu Yuyan suddenly disappeared from where she was, and at the same time, the howling sound of a storm rang in Chu Yuan's ears.

The howling of the wind expanded like a wave, and in an instant the whole world seemed to be darkened, filled with the terrible sound of the howling wind. However, the surroundings were as quiet as before, which made Chu Yuan know that this must be Zhu Yuyan's doing.

When the sound of wind turned into the sound of thunder and rain, Chu Yuan felt as if he was in the core of a violent storm. He felt cold all over and his steps became unsteady. It took an extremely firm will to keep his balance.

Such magical power is truly unheard of.

The waves are breaking against the shore, surging violently.

If it were an ordinary martial arts master, he would have been distracted by the strange sight before him, but Chu Yuan was not affected at all.

Just now, the spiritual power in the Niwan Palace in his mind continued to surge out, offsetting the effect of Zhu Yuyan's magic power on him.

Chu Yuan's right fist continued to fall. This punch was so powerful that it was enough to crack gold and shatter rocks. It hit the place where Zhu Yuyan had disappeared. Chu Yuan felt that his fist was like hitting a soft spider web. Not only did it dissipate the power of his fist, but it also bounced back some of the power.

Chu Yuan was secretly startled in his heart, and quickly used his own "Eternal Life Secret" true qi to dissolve it.

As soon as Chu Yuan resolved it, he discovered that it was clearly an extremely strange and spiral Qi that could slowly erode his own Qi, and it was rampaging in his body.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan's "Eternal Life Secret" true qi was not weak either. All the meridians in his body were connected, and Chu Yuan instantly mobilized a huge amount of "Eternal Life Secret" true qi to suppress it.

Soon, the strange true energy that had penetrated into Chu Yuan's body was offset and dissolved, and forced out of the body.

Before Chu Yuan could feel happy, he started paying attention to Zhu Yuyan's movements.

Just when he was suppressing the strange inner energy in his body, Zhu Yuyan had disappeared.

The next moment, a warning sign arose beside Chu Yuan. Before Chu Yuan had time to think, he disappeared from the spot.

boom!
At the same time Chu Yuan disappeared, a strange spiral of true qi as black as ink hit the place where Chu Yuan had just stood.

Chu Yuan's face changed because Zhu Yuyan's attack just now was incredibly powerful. The aftermath of the spiral true qi alone rolled up the wooden boards on the dock within a ten-foot area around it.

What would happen if it hit me?
The key point is that most of the people on this dock are ordinary people. They originally worshipped Chu Yuan as an immortal, but when they saw Chu Yuan and Zhu Yuyan fighting, they realized the danger of this place and fled to the shore, but it was too late.

If he and Zhu Yuyan started fighting directly on the dock, many people would be killed or injured in the aftermath of their fight.

After all, Chu Yuan couldn't be as careless about human life as the Demon Sect was.

He disappeared and reappeared several times, appearing on the surface of the canal.

Chu Yuan wanted the battle between himself and Zhu Yuyan to take place on the surface of the canal, so as to avoid casualties among ordinary people.

"I didn't realize you were so chivalrous."

Chu Yuan had just appeared on the river when Zhu Yuyan's voice also rang out on the canal. Chu Yuan turned around and found that Zhu Yuyan had also followed him to the river.

Although she couldn't walk on the river like herself, as if it were flat ground.

However, he did not know when he used his true energy to control a small boat docked on the shore, making it fly like an arrow, stirring up rolling waves, and arrived at the center of the canal. He stood on the boat, and the water rose and fell with the surface of the canal.

Chu Yuan looked at Zhu Yuyan and said, "Do you know the difference between the White Path and your Demon Sect? The difference is that the White Path has a bottom line, while your Demon Sect does not."

Although Chu Yuan looked down on the hypocritical people in Cihang Jingzhai, they wanted to elect a wise king for the people of the world just because they had the emperor's seal.

However, the Demon Sect's way of accepting all kinds of people with bad character into its ranks, and even using any means necessary to achieve its goals, including cooperating with foreign countries, made Chu Yuan even more dissatisfied with the Demon Sect, and he felt that the Demon Sect was the source of chaos in the martial arts world.

"well said."

Just then, a somewhat familiar female voice came from the shore.

Chu Yuan couldn't help but look towards the shore.

Chu Yuan then realized that while he was fighting with Zhu Yuyan, a woman dressed in green, carrying an ancient sword on her back, who looked like a lotus in clear water, as real as she was an illusion, had appeared beside the witch Wanwan at some point. Wanwan looked at the woman who was blocking her way with helplessness on her face.

The woman was none other than the contemporary successor of Cihang Jingzhai and Saint Female Master Feixuan.

"Master Qingyang, don't worry about fighting with Queen Yin. I will leave her to me."

Shi Feixuan shouted from afar.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to come too, sister. It seems that you missed me a lot after we last met!"

Wanwan didn't expect Shi Feixuan to appear suddenly. She was stunned for a moment and then smiled seductively.

"Yeah, I didn't expect we would meet again."

Shi Feixuan was as calm as ever.

"It's no use trying to stop me. My master is going to take action this time. I'm afraid that Taoist Qingyang will be dead."

Wanwan then laughed.

Shi Feixuan fell silent upon hearing this. After receiving the order from her master, she took the "Cihang Sword Canon" with her and went down the mountain. It was only after she went to Shu that she found out that Chu Yuan had gone on a long journey.

Later, as news of Chu Yuan appeared in the martial arts world, she guessed that Chu Yuan's destination was Yangzhou by analyzing the route.

He rushed all the way to Yangzhou, and happened to meet the leader and successor of the Yinkui Sect at the Yangzhou dock, who worked together to kill Taoist Qingyang.

It seems that the appearance of this Taoist Qingyang has indeed brought a huge threat to the Demon Sect.

Otherwise, Queen Yin would not have taken action personally and killed Taoist Qingyang at the Yangzhou dock.

This is a master at the same level as her master Fan Qinghui.

If I had known earlier, I would have asked the master for help and followed her down the mountain, but it’s too late to say anything now.

"I believe in the Taoist priest."

After a moment's silence, Shi Feixuan said.

At this point, she could only hope that Chu Yuan could survive the hands of Queen Yin.

"Do you want to think about what you're going to say?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Wanwan's eyes.

Her master is one of the few masters under the three great masters, a rare expert in the martial arts world who has the potential to become the fourth master. This Taoist Qingyang is only sixteen or seventeen years old and has just become famous in the martial arts world. No matter how talented he is, he can never be a match for her master.

Shi Feixuan said nothing, but drew out the Sekong Sword from behind, and her eyes became sharp.

Seeing that Shi Feixuan was about to fight with her, Wanwan's expression changed, and she looked pitiful, and said, "Can we not fight, and just watch the show here?"

To be honest, she really didn't want to fight with Shi Feixuan, because they were old rivals and their martial arts skills were equally matched.

In a short period of time, no one can beat anyone else, so it’s better to just watch the show.

If we really have to decide the winner, it will be a battle to the death.

"No."

Shi Feixuan shook her head.

She didn't want to give Wanwan the chance to provide any help to the Queen of Yin, Zhu Yuyan.

"Sister Fu, is Taoist Qingyang okay?"

The merchant ship of the Dongming Sect found a place to pull over and stopped at the dock outside Yangzhou City. Shan Wanjing saw that Chu Yuan and Zhu Yuyan had already started fighting, so she asked Fu Jun'er who was standing beside them.

Fu Jun'er seemed a little absent-minded and had a lot on her mind.

She knew how powerful Chu Yuan was, but she felt that Chu Yuan might not be a match for the "Queen of Yin" Zhu Yuyan, because when she was still in Goryeo, her master Fu Cailin had commented on the "Queen of Yin" Zhu Yuyan of the Middle-earth Demon Sect.

Her master said that Zhu Yuyan was one of the few most likely to become a grandmaster among the many masters in Middle-earth.

Chu Yuan’s life or death had nothing to do with her. She was wondering whether she should take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when Chu Yuan was fighting with the “Queen of Yin” Zhu Yuyan to escape.

Fu Jun'er said: "It should be fine, he is very skilled in martial arts."

Shan Wanjing said: "That's good."

Fu Jun'er glanced at Shan Wanjing beside her. Since the other party didn't know the true relationship between her and the Taoist priest, she should not be on guard against her.

Now or never.

Fu Jun'er secretly made up her mind that she wanted to escape.

Fu Jun'er said, "Miss Shan, I left something in the cabin. I'll be back soon."

Shan Wanjing said: "Sister Fu, you go."

Shan Wanjing was not on guard against Fu Jun'er at all, because she had never thought that Fu Jun'er would choose to run away.

Seeing that Shan Wanjing had no doubts at all, Fu Jun'er turned around and left, returning to the cabin.

Before leaving, Fu Jun'er took a look at Chu Yuan and Zhu Yuyan who were confronting each other on the river.

She prayed in her heart: "I hope Zhu Yuyan can kill him, otherwise he will be a great threat to my Goryeo country."

Then she turned and left without any reluctance.

……

Chu Yuan and Zhu Yuyan confronted each other on the river for a moment, and the two sides once again started a new round of contest.

The strange scene just before Zhu Yuyan launched the attack reappeared. In a trance, Chu Yuan felt that a huge wave taller than the city wall was rushing towards Chu Yuan with Zhu Yuyan as the starting point. The momentum was so shocking that it felt like it was covering the whole sky.

Chu Yuan was not afraid at all, he also had similar power.

Chu Yuan's spiritual power surged out from the Niwan Palace, and a white light burst out from his eyes.

The sword flashed, like a giant sword cutting through the sky, splitting the huge waves rushing towards it into two, and the strange scene before his eyes disappeared without a trace.
