Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 170 Golden Snake Hero
After getting Luo Liru's consent, Chen Jinnan immediately jumped out with his sword.

He is only in his thirties this year and is a rising star. He has never met Qi Zhenjun before, so Qi Zhenjun regarded him as a hero of the Dragon Subduing Society and did not ask about his identity.

Seeing him coming out for close combat, Qi Zhenjun said "Well done", pushed Wu Yuanying away with one hand, handed him over to the disciple beside him to take care of him, and then used the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique to meet him.

Qi Zhenjun knew that the environment was not favorable for him, so he wanted to end the battle quickly and escape from this place of trouble as soon as possible. He left no room for any further attack with his sword, and his attack was fierce and violent.

But Chen Jinnan was the leader of the Tiandihui and his martial arts were extraordinary. He faced Qi Zhenjun's fierce attack and blocked dozens of moves without showing any signs of defeat.

However, Qi Zhenjun is the founder of a school after all. He has lived in seclusion in Liaodong for decades and has been studying martial arts. Chen Jinnan, on the other hand, has been running around all year round and is busy with the anti-Qing cause. His martial arts skills are weaker than Qi Zhenjun.

Once Qi Zhenjun figured out Chen Jinnan's sword techniques, he quickly gained the upper hand.

Chen Jinnan also gradually felt the pressure coming upon him and realized that he was no match for Qi Zhenjun. However, he had no intention of winning when he volunteered to fight. He only wanted to test Qi Zhenjun's swordsmanship so that Luo Liru could see Qi Zhenjun's strengths and weaknesses.

After more than ten moves, Chen Jinnan's body shook, and he used light Kung Fu to jump back and forth around Qi Zhenjun, tempting Qi Zhenjun to use all his sword moves.

However, Qi Zhenjun did not let Chen Jinnan have his way. He suddenly used a unique move. The sound of wind and thunder emanated from his sword. He knocked Chen Jinnan's long sword away with one blow and stabbed Chen Jinnan's left chest.

Seeing that he could not dodge the sword, Chen Jinnan did not retreat but instead rushed towards Qi Zhenjun facing the sword tip. He stretched out his right palm suddenly, and his five fingers formed into a hook shape, and grabbed Qi Zhenjun's sword-holding arm.

This move changed so quickly that Qi Zhenjun did not expect Chen Jinnan to be so brave that he dared to risk his life.

Qi Zhenjun quickly changed his moves, and the tip of his sword moved away from Chen Jinnan's left chest. The sword brushed past Chen Jinnan's arm, but Chen Jinnan also patted Qi Zhenjun's elbow lightly.

With two "chi!" sounds, Qi Zhenjun and Chen Jinnan crossed each other closely and separated in an instant.

After the two men stood still several feet apart, the crowd of onlookers took a closer look and found that blood was pouring from Chen Jinnan's arm, but Qi Zhenjun was safe and sound.

All the heroes thought that Chen Jinnan should be defeated by Qi Zhenjun in this battle.

Chen Jinnan was not only a martial arts figure, he also often led troops in battle. He always believed that victory and defeat were common in the military and did not think that defeat was a loss of face.

He smiled generously and clasped his fists towards Master Qi: "Senior Qi's swordsmanship is superb. I am ashamed to be inferior to him."

Qi Zhenjun was not arrogant and returned his greeting: "You are brave and resourceful. Although your martial arts skills are weaker than mine, you were able to hit me with one palm. You are indeed a remarkable person. Please tell me your name. Which guardian elder of the Dragon Subduing Society are you?"

Without waiting for Chen Jinnan to answer.

The heroes of the Tiandihui not far away shouted, "This is our Tiandihui's chief leader. 'If you have never met Chen Jinnan in your life, it is useless to call yourself a hero!' Has Master Qi heard of this?"

Qi Zhenjun was honest: "I have lived in Liaodong for a long time, and I don't know much about the people in the Central Plains. I only know that the most famous hero in the Central Plains is the Assassin Jianglong. I wanted to meet him but couldn't. Could it be that this Chief Chen is more prestigious than the Assassin Jianglong?"

When the heroes of the Tiandihui heard the name of the assassin Jianglong, they suddenly fell silent.

The heroes of the Dragon Subduing Society began to shout: "The Dragon Subduing Hero is the leader of our gang. If he were still alive, he could kill you with just one finger! Even his personal disciple, the Dragon Slayer Protector, would definitely not need more than three palms to defeat you!"

"Oh?"

Qi Zhenjun had a blank expression on his face: "I have also heard of the Dragon Slayer Monk. In the next second battle, please invite the Dragon Slayer Monk to take the stage!"

"The Dragon Slayer Guardian is not here, so I will fight with Sect Leader Qi in the second battle!"

Luo Liru was seen walking out of the crowd with a sword in his hand.

Seeing Luo Liru going to fight, Chen Jinnan turned around and walked back. When passing by Luo Liru, he whispered, "He was hit on the right arm by my 'Blood Coagulation Divine Claw', so his wind and thunder sword can no longer be used. However, his internal strength is extremely high, so he can fight for a long time even with one arm. Brother Luo, you should be careful!"

Luo Liru nodded, and the sword flashed and slashed towards Qi Zhenjun.

"What kind of swordsmanship is that?"

At this time, Huang Sixi, Fei Hongjin and Xiaozhuang had already bypassed the crowd and quietly came to the rear of the Changbai Sect disciples. They planned to rescue Wu Yuanying, Ding You and others while Qi Zhenjun was fighting with swords.

Fei Hongjin saw that Luo Liru's swordsmanship was strange and couldn't help but ask.

Huang Sixi recognized the origin of the sword technique at a glance: "He used the Golden Snake Sword Technique."

"Golden Snake Sword Technique?"

Fei Hongjin asked again: "Could it be that the Golden Snake Hero taught him?"

Huang Sixi felt that it should have been taught by Yuan Chengzhi. When he was wandering in the bloody world, the Golden Snake secret book left by Xia Xueyi was obtained by Yuan Chengzhi. Apart from Yuan Chengzhi, no one knew the Golden Snake sword technique.

Unexpectedly, Xiaozhuang said: "Deputy Chief Luo's Golden Snake Sword Technique was inherited from the Five Poison Sect and has nothing to do with Yuan Chengzhi."

When she said this, she suddenly heard a "click!" sound, and Qi Zhenjun and Luo Liru had actually figured out the outcome.

Luo Liru dropped his sword to the ground, and Qi Zhenjun stabbed his wrist with his sword, with blood dripping out.

The heroes of the Dragon Subduing Society were very disappointed when they saw this scene. Deputy Sect Leader Luo was known as the God of Sword. He fought with the "Golden Snake Sword Technique" and was defeated after fighting with Master Qi for dozens of moves.

Just now, Chen Jinnan also persisted for dozens of moves, but Chen Jinnan hit Qi Zhenjun with a palm, but Luo Liru did not touch Qi Zhenjun at all. Doesn't this mean that Luo Liru's martial arts is inferior to Chen Jinnan's?

The happiest person present was Qi Zhenjun. In fact, there was a reason why he was able to defeat Luo Liru so quickly.

Twenty years ago, when he was living in seclusion in Liaodong, he met the Golden Snake Hero Yuan Chengzhi who was assassinating Qing court nobles in Liaodong and happened to pass by Changbai Sect. He stepped forward to intercept him and had a fight with Yuan Chengzhi.

In that battle, his internal strength was better than Yuan Chengzhi's, but Yuan Chengzhi's "Golden Snake Sword Technique" defeated his Wind and Thunder Sword Technique. He always felt resentful about it, and later he went into seclusion to comprehend the way to crack the "Golden Snake Sword Technique" and created a counter-Golden Snake Sword Technique.

He originally wanted to use this sword technique on Yuan Chengzhi, but Luo Liru bumped into him first, so he used it to verify the effectiveness of this sword technique.

What a coincidence.

Although Qi Zhenjun won, he did not show any complacency. Instead, he explained to Luo Liru: "Deputy Chief Luo's swordsmanship is indeed exquisite, but I once practiced the Golden Snake Swordsmanship with the Golden Snake Hero Yuan Chengzhi, and it took me several years to figure out the flaws of the swordsmanship. If Deputy Chief Luo used other swordsmanship, it would be extremely difficult for me to win!"

When Luo Liru heard this, his expression eased slightly.

If Qi Zhenjun had already studied the "Golden Snake Sword Technique" for many years, it would not be surprising that he could break this sword technique.

But Luo Liru's second battle was aimed at severely injuring Qi Zhenjun. Luo Liru originally planned to follow Chen Jinnan's risky strategy and injure Qi Zhenjun's other arm. Then when the third battle came, he could easily win by sending any elder of the Dragon Subduing Society.

As a result, Luo Liru failed to achieve his wish and was defeated cleanly. So how should he fight the third battle?
Qi Zhenjun laughed and followed Luo Liru's thoughts and asked, "May I ask Deputy Gang Leader Luo, who will fight in the third battle? I will accompany you to the end!"

Luo Liru was stunned. There was no hope of winning the third battle. With Qi Zhenjun's martial arts, it would be of no avail even if Luo Liru gave up his face and invited Master Feng Xifan of the Tiandihui to help.

Just as he was struggling, a gentle male voice suddenly came into his ears: "Let Yuan give it a try!"

The sound falls.

Luo Liru turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in his forties standing beside him.

This man had a dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a sincere and steady demeanor. His sudden appearance instantly caused a commotion at the scene: "The Golden Snake Hero is here!"

"Master Yuan is going to fight the third battle for our Dragon Subduing Society. We will definitely win. There is absolutely no possibility of losing!"

"Let us first thank Master Yuan for his help!"

Although the hundreds of Jianglonghui heroes present expressed gratitude in their words, they felt very bitter in their hearts. As the largest gang in the world, they had to rely on outsiders for support to overcome the difficulties. It was really embarrassing.

However, everyone is persisting in resisting the Qing Dynasty. They are all brothers in the same path and should help each other. Today, the Golden Snake Hero helped the Dragon Subduing Society, and tomorrow the Dragon Subduing Society will also help the Golden Snake Hero. There is no need to fuss over trivial matters.

Luo Liru had the same mentality and immediately bowed to greet Yuan Chengzhi.

He turned his eyes again and found that there were three people following Yuan Chengzhi, all of them old friends he was familiar with.

The beautiful woman on the left is Yuan Chengzhi’s first wife Xia Qingqing, the middle-aged scholar in the middle is the Tianshan hero Yang Yuncong, and the cold-looking girl in a veil on the right is Yang Yuncong’s daughter Yi Lanzhu.

More than ten years ago, Yuan Chengzhi and Yang Yuncong became close friends in Hangzhou and began to have close contacts. They often participated in major events in the martial arts world together.

The initiators of this "Turtle Killing Conference" were the Huashan Sect where Yuan Chengzhi was and the Tianshan Sect where Yang Yuncong was. As the organizers of the conference, they must have arrived at Huaishuping a long time ago.

Earlier, the Dragon Subduing Society sent people to Huaishuping to deliver a letter. Yuan Chengzhi and Yang Yuncong should have rushed to help after receiving the news.

Coincidentally, Qi Zhenjun was not unfamiliar with Yuan Chengzhi and Yang Yuncong.

He had fought with Yuan Chengzhi before and knew that Yuan Chengzhi's skills were profound and not inferior to his own. Even though he had comprehended the Anti-Golden Snake Sword Technique, he had already used it once on Luo Liru. If Yuan Chengzhi saw it, it would not have the effect of a surprise attack if he used it again.

If Yuan Chengzhi comes to fight the third battle, even if Qi Zhenjun can win, he will definitely be seriously injured and there is no way he can escape from the forest.

Qi Zhenjun knew that he was at the end of his rope, so he simply threw away his sword and said calmly: "Today, the most outstanding heroes in the Central Plains martial arts world have gathered here. This really opened my eyes. In fact, I am also from the Central Plains. There is no point in continuing to fight. I am willing to give up my sword and follow your instructions!"

Yuan Chengzhi was quite surprised to see him surrender and asked: "What exactly is the purpose of Sect Leader Qi rushing to Hejian this time?"

Qi Zhenjun did not tell the truth: "My disciple Qiu Dongluo was killed. It is said that the murderer is related to Fei Hongjin from Southern Xinjiang. I came here to track down Fei Hongjin's whereabouts, and that's how I captured Wu Yuanying, the owner of the Dragon Subduing Society. Alas, if I didn't love my disciple so much, I would never have had a grudge with the Dragon Subduing Society!"

When Yuan Chengzhi heard about the incident in Southern Xinjiang, he turned around and asked Yang Yuncong, "Brother Yang seems to be an old friend of Fei Hongjin. Do you know her whereabouts?"

Yang Yuncong shook his head: "I haven't seen Hamaya for more than ten years! But Hamaya has been fighting against the Qing Dynasty in southern Xinjiang. If she really killed Qiu Dongluo, it may be that Qiu Dongluo is working for the Qing court."

Yuan Chengzhi added: "When I was in Liaodong, Sect Leader Qi once attacked me for the Qing court. The Changbai Sect does have connections with the Qing court. Brother Yang, how do you think we should deal with Sect Leader Qi?"

Yang Yuncong pondered for a moment and made a suggestion: "The Central Plains martial arts world has been through many wars, and masters are becoming increasingly scarce. Master Qi is proficient in swordsmanship, which can allow him to make up for his mistakes. Invite him to go to Yunnan to assassinate Wu Sangui. If the assassination is successful, then today's incident will be forgiven. What do you think, Brother Yuan?"

Yuan Chengzhi bowed slightly and said, "Brother Yang, what you said is very much to my liking. There are very few sword masters like Master Qi in the Central Plains martial arts world. If Master Qi is willing to go and assassinate Wu Sangui, that would be great."

After that, he consulted Luo Liru: "But Deputy Chief Luo thinks that this arrangement is inappropriate, and we can discuss it again."

Luo Liru said: "As long as you are willing to fight against the Qing government and kill traitors, I have no objection!"

Yuan Chengzhi finally said to Qi Zhenjun: "Master Qi, are you willing to go to Yundian?"

Qi Zhenjun immediately responded: "I am willing to serve you! However, my disciples are not good at martial arts, can you release them and let them return to Changbai Sect?"

He sent his disciples away first so that it would be convenient for him to escape.

Who knew that without waiting for Yuan Chengzhi to reply.

Suddenly, a cold rebuke was heard from the rear: "You, the Changbai Sect, are all working for the Tartars. It's a foolish dream to want to return to Liaodong!"

Qi Zhenjun turned his head and saw Xiaozhuang holding a long sword horizontally, slashing the neck of one of the Changbai Sect disciples fiercely. With a "puff!" sound, the head flew into the sky.

After the sword fell, Xiaozhuang swung his sword at another Changbai Sect disciple: "None of you can leave today!"

Just now, while Qi Zhenjun was talking to Yuan Chengzhi and Yang Yuncong, Xiaozhuang had already controlled all the disciples of Changbai Sect. More than ten heroes of the Dragon Subduing Society, including Wu Yuanying and Ding You, were also rescued by Fei Hongjin. Huang Sixi sat in front of the two women to protect their safety.

When Master Qi saw Xiaozhuang wantonly beheading his disciples, he immediately became furious: "We have already agreed to make amends, why are you still killing people at random?"

Yuan Chengzhi and Yang Yuncong both felt that Xiaozhuang's behavior was inappropriate and his methods were too cruel, which also made them break their promise. So they jumped up at the same time and pounced on Xiaozhuang, trying to save the Changbai Sect disciples.

As a result, when the two men rushed to Xiaozhuang, Huang Sixi stretched out his arms and slapped the two men.

The two men felt the palm wind sweeping in, and hurriedly stretched out their palms, and with two "bangs", they struck each other.

When the heroes around saw this scene, they all believed that Huang Sixi was dead. No one in the world could resist the combined attack of the Golden Snake Hero and the Tianshan Hero.

But the situation that followed was far beyond the group's understanding, and it shocked everyone into silence, leaving them all standing there in a daze.

Huang Sixi pushed out with both palms, and with a "crack!" sound, Yang Yuncong's arm was instantly broken, and he flew backwards, sliding several feet into the air before falling heavily to the ground.

Yuan Chengzhi's arm was intact, but he was also pushed back dozens of steps. When he stood still, his chest could not stop rising and falling, and he vomited a pool of blood with a "Puff!"

At this time, Qi Zhenjun had also rushed to the side of the small village. He saw Huang Sixi's palms repelling Yuan Chengzhi and Yang Yuncong, and subconsciously sensed the crisis. He turned around and wanted to evacuate, but he heard a "clang!" A sword whistle came, and a sword light suddenly flashed in front of him, aiming at his neck and slashing across.
