Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 438 The Wisdom of the Old Beggar
"I heard that today is the Beggars' Clan Conference, so I came here specially because I want to eat good meat."

"What is this situation now?"

As everyone was shocked, a slightly old and lazy voice came from above the parade ground.

who?

Everyone present looked in the direction of the sound, and after a while they looked around, finally they realized that the sound came from an inconspicuous house near the parade ground.

Lu Ping was a little surprised because that was where he and Wang Xiaoshi had stayed this morning.

At this moment, a slovenly old beggar with white hair and beard was sitting there.

"Strange, there are wine jars and food boxes on the roof."

"Who among you didn't clean up after eating up there? You're even dirtier than an old beggar!"

The old beggar rummaged through the food box that Lu Ping had left there that morning. When he found that there was nothing left inside, he picked up the wine jar that was placed aside, opened the cork, shook it, and smelled it.

"Fortunately, there is still some wine left, just right to quench my thirst."

As he said this, he didn't care who had left the wine or whether it was clean or not, he just tilted his head and blew it into his mouth.

"Hmm...it tastes okay, but it would be better if it was stronger."

This casual behavior stunned everyone on the field.

It took a long while for everyone to react, followed by a burst of exclamations.

"Boss Hong! It's old Boss Hong!"

"Boss Hong is here!"

"Master?!"

Listening to the shouts of the crowd and seeing the joy on Huang Rong's face next to him, Lu Ping also confirmed the identity of the old beggar on the roof.

Hong Qi, the 'Nine-Fingered Beggar', is the former leader of the Southern Beggars' Sect, the master of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and also one of the 'Four Wonders', a well-known figure in the Southern martial arts world.

Yes, in this martial arts world, there are no 'Five Great Masters of the Central Plains', but instead there are 'Four Great Masters of the South', namely 'Eastern Evil' Huang Yaoshi, 'West Poison' Ouyang Feng, 'Southern Emperor' Duan Zhixing, and 'Northern Beggar' Hong Qigong.

The reason why Wang Chongyang was kicked out was because he was much older than the other four. It could be said that there was a generation difference between them.

However, although Wang Chongyang did not become the "Middle God", it does not mean that he is not famous in the world.

Before the era of the 'Four Wonders', there were the 'Three Heroes' in the Southern School of Martial Arts.

They are Huang Shang representing Confucianism, Wang Chongyang representing Taoism, and the Drunken Monk representing Buddhism.

The seven people, 'Three Heroes' and 'Four Wonders', are the leading figures in the Southern School of Jianghu after Xiao Qiu Shui.

People in the underworld often compare them with the "Three Carefree Old Men" and the "Four Famous Constables" of the Northern underworld. However, anyone who has experienced that era personally knows that the strength of the two sides cannot be compared at all.

"Sure enough, the Dragon Subduing Palm just now was launched by Hong Qi!"

Looking at the old beggar on the roof, Li Chenzhou confirmed his previous thoughts.

"Brother, now is not the time to fight anymore."

At the same time as Hong Qigong appeared, Liu Suifeng also walked briskly to Li Chenzhou and reminded him in a low voice about the current situation.

"You want me to retreat?"

Seeing that Li Chenzhou was somewhat unwilling, Liu Suifeng hesitated for a few seconds, and finally advised: "I know you have been longing for an opponent for a long time, and want to find someone with similar strength to fight with in order to break through the martial arts, but now... it is not the best time."

The reason why now is not the best time is because Li Chenzhou has already decided to intervene in the "Battle of the Seven Sacred Peaks" initiated by Guan Qi in the near future.

This time, Li Chenzhou came to disrupt the Beggars' Sect Conference with the intention of achieving a breakthrough in martial arts during the battle so that he could formally compete with Guan Qi.

Facing Hong Qi, Guo Jing and Qiao Feng, three masters who use the Dragon Subduing Palm, Li Chenzhou can safely defeat one, but it would be a bit risky to defeat two, and he would be asking for trouble if he defeats three.

However, Li Chenzhou's kingly heart did not allow him to retreat at this moment.

"Liu Wu, you said we rushed here to make trouble, if we retreat like this, how will the people in the martial arts world look at us in the future?"

Liu Suifeng knew the answer to this question, but he couldn't answer it.

He just looked quietly at Li Chenzhou's determined eyes and the faint smile on his lips. After a while, he sighed: "Okay, if you want to go crazy, of course the brothers will go crazy with you!" Hong Qigong drank the last bit of wine in the jar, then flipped over and jumped down from the roof, landing steadily on the ground.

Huang Rong and Guo Jing had already walked over with smiles on their faces and called him "Master" obediently.

Even the elders from the Northern Beggars' Sect rushed forward and saluted respectfully.

Hong Qigong was a well-known hero in the Jianghu in the past, and he also had considerable strength and qualifications in the Beggars' Sect. Therefore, no matter whether he was from the Southern Beggars' Sect or the Northern Beggars' Sect, all of them respected this senior very much.

"I knew that Master would be indispensable for such a lively event as the Beggars' Sect Conference."

Looking at the smiling Huang Rong, Hong Qigong also laughed: "I don't care whether it's a big event or not, or whether it's lively or not."

"I came here today mainly because I was greedy."

Hong Qigong wiped his saliva and said, "I haven't eaten the food you cooked for a long time, Rong'er. You must cook a good meal today and reward me well!"

"If the master wants to eat, of course the disciple will cook for him!"

Huang Rong agreed with a smile, but then changed the subject: "But... before that, I have to trouble Master and Brother Jing to drive these people away, otherwise Rong'er won't be able to cook in peace."

Hong Qi cooperated very well and said "Oh", then turned around and walked towards Li Chenzhou, shouting.

"Hey kid over there, today is a good day for our Beggars' Sect. You come here to mess things up. Do you think you don't take me, an old beggar, seriously?"

Hearing this, Li Chenzhou showed no fear at all. Instead, he challenged him: "How many people in the martial arts world can be worthy of my Li Chenzhou's attention?"

"Hey, good boy!!"

"It seems that I didn't learn my lesson from that blow just now!"

Hong Qigong rolled up his sleeves, prepared to fight, and shouted, "Do you believe I can kill you with one slap?!"

"Senior Hong wants to stretch his muscles, Li Chenzhou will accompany you to the end!"

The internal force turned into fist power and attached to Li Chenzhou's fists again.

This man never knew what it meant to retreat.

"Okay! Then the old beggar will not be polite!"

Just when Hong Qigong was about to accept the challenge, Liu Suifeng stepped forward.

"Before the battle started, it was already agreed that Qiao Feng and Guo Jing would fight. Now that Clan Leader Hong is forcibly intervening in the battle, isn't that too unreasonable?"

In fact, from the moment Hong Qigong came out to help and ambushed Li Chenzhou to save Guo Jing, the fight was already lost by the Beggars' Sect.

Of course, Hong Qigong also knew this and thought of it before he took action, but after all, Guo Jing was facing a life-and-death crisis just now, so he had to take action.

"Hey! I just felt sorry for my apprentice, so I forced myself into the fight. What's wrong with that?"

Hong Qigong acted like a gangster and said with a grin, "If you guys from the Power Gang are not convinced, we can choose new players and have another fight!"

"Of course, the old beggar won't take advantage of you."

"Didn't your gang leader fight one against two just now? Then this time, the old beggar will fight one against two too. You can send any two people over there, I will take them all!!"

Hong Qigong's words were very clever and extremely shameless.

He did not explicitly say that the Beggars' Sect lost the fight just now, but only admitted that he had forcibly interrupted the fight in order to save his apprentice.

In this way, even if people in the underworld know about this in the future, they will understand his actions.

Reselecting the contestants means that Li Chenzhou, Qiao Feng and Guo Jing, who just fought, cannot play again.

The other members of the Power Gang are far inferior to Li Chenzhou in strength. Even if the two strongest ones are selected, they are still no match for Hong Qigong.

In this way, Hong Qigong could win by fighting one against two and regain the face he had just lost.

Most importantly, this approach invisibly blurred the incident of the Power Gang provoking trouble and provoking the Beggar Gang into a "personal duel" between the elite representatives of the two major forces.

Perfectly avoid the possibility of a large-scale firefight.
