Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 77 Rescue
Zhao Yehe couldn't wait to reach out and pinch the lock of the cage, and the iron lock was immediately opened.

They opened the cell door and went in, carefully lifting the man's face...

"Second brother!"

Zhao Yehe couldn't help but exclaim.

But in fact, this person only has a similar facial contour, but his face is actually very dirty and his appearance cannot be seen at all.

At this time, Zhao Yifu brushed his face with one hand, and the clear water in his palm quickly flowed through it, removing the stains, and the man's appearance was truly revealed.

"It really is like a lone crane... That He Du is so vicious!"

Hongshu also became shocked and angry.

In her heart, the second and third sons of the Zhao family were all her younger brothers. Now that her younger brothers had suffered so much, Rang Ran, as an older sister, felt very distressed.

Zhao Yifu has also learned some medical skills recently, especially when combined with the "Chun Yang Qiu Dao Jing", he has a deeper understanding.

He said, "Second Uncle is now suffering from a lack of Qi and blood. He is only able to survive until now thanks to the last bit of Qi in his body..."

Hong Shu was already pressing on Zhao Guhe's wrist to take his pulse.

She said, "He's really weak. That beast hasn't given the second child food in who knows how long."

"Quick, Jun Xin, do you still have any fasting pills? Give him one."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi Fu immediately took out a jade bottle from his arms, poured out a fasting pill from it, stuffed it into Zhao Guhe's mouth, and helped him swallow by massaging his throat muscles.

Seeing this, Hong Shu looked at Zhao Yifu with admiration and said, "This technique is quite good. It seems that your Zhao family's Crane Claw Grappling Technique is also beneficial to medical skills."

However, Zhao Yifu did not respond. He just frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Sister Hong, I have a elixir that can be used to replenish lost Qi and assist in Qi training. I wonder if it could be given to Second Uncle."

"He's relying entirely on his inner energy to hold on. I'm afraid if I touch him rashly, it will dissipate."

Hong Shu asked, "What kind of elixir is that? Bring it to me and let me see it."

Zhao Yi Fu obediently took out another jade bottle and poured out a soul-enhancing pill from it.

He didn't usually take this pill because he didn't feel how slow his meditation and Qi training were, so he only used it to sustain himself in battle when necessary.

Hong Shu took the pill, smelled it, and even licked it with his tongue to taste it.

Then she nodded and exclaimed, "It's worthy of your mysterious master's elixir. This medicine is mild in nature and has sufficient medicinal power. There is no need to worry about any side effects from taking it."

Zhao Yi Fu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then helped Zhao Guhe swallow the Soul-Enriching Pill in the same way.

The Yunling Pill is indeed a magical pill. Not long after Zhao Guhe took it, he showed a reaction.

"Xu~"

After letting out a long breath, the unfortunate second master of the Zhao family finally opened his eyes.

"You... the Third Brother? And... Miss Hong..."

Zhao Yifu found something wrong, as if the way his second uncle looked at Sister Hong was not right.

But think about it, with such an outstanding and capable sister, maybe Hongshu is actually the common white moonlight of these three brothers?
Zhao Yifu muttered inwardly, but still politely stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Second Uncle."

Zhao Guhe saw that Zhao Yifu was a little confused.

Hong Shu quickly said, "This is the second child of the eldest family. He has grown into a man now."

Zhao Guhe then nodded weakly and said, "It's you, Junxin, the only scholar in our Zhao family for three generations."

He was about to say something when Zhao Yehe interrupted him, "Stop talking, second brother. We have to leave now. Otherwise, who knows what bad things that He guy might be up to."

Hong Shu also quickly said, "Let's go out the other way. He Du has been poisoned by my drug and won't have the energy to block us there for a while."

This is a very correct decision and it can be said that it is the safest one.

However, they ignored how stubborn Zhao Guhe was.

It’s also Zhao Yifu’s fault. The two elixirs made this guy stronger, and he actually thinks he can do it again?

Although he was weak, he said firmly: "No, even if I, Zhao Guhe, have to leave this village, I will leave with dignity!"

Zhao Yehe was stunned. He said, "Second brother, what time is it now?"

Hong Shu said helplessly, "Why are you so stubborn? He Du has already treated you like this."

Zhao Guhe said, "He is unkind, but I must explain things to him face to face."

"What's more... there are still many of my old brothers in this village. If I leave like this, that He guy will definitely find a reason to eliminate those old brothers who are friendly with me."

This is what Zhao Guhe is really worried about.

It is conceivable that when Zhao Guhe was in danger himself, he was still worried about his old brothers. It is understandable why He Du, the Kuanglan Dao, treated him like this.

This kind of person is the most popular. If they turn against each other, I really wouldn't dare to kill them before completely resolving the internal problems.

Zhao Yifu said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Third Uncle to carry Second Uncle on his back, and I'll go ahead."

As he said that, he came to Zhao Guhe, stretched out his hands and broke the steel chains that locked his limbs as easily as tofu.

Zhao Guhe was originally wondering why Zhao Yifu said he wanted to go in front, but now he understood.

He said, "I'm afraid your Crane Claw Technique is better than my elder brother's."

Zhao Yehe smiled and said, "Of course, our nephew has become quite successful now."

Zhao Guhe did not ask any more questions. He really had limited strength and just wanted to hold on to his last breath to face He Du.

At this moment, Hong Shu suddenly reminded: "Jun Xin, just break the chain of the pipa hook. The pair of pipa hook locks cannot be removed for the time being."

Indeed, removing the iron hook that pierced Zhao Guhe's scapula would be a huge undertaking, and there was no condition to do so at the moment.

Zhao Yifu came behind Zhao Guhe and reached out to open the chain hanging from his back.

However, this blow caused Zhao Guhe's shoulders to bleed profusely.

Because the chain was no longer hanging, the weight of the hooks pressed on the wound in a different direction.

"Second brother, how can you do this!"

Zhao Yehe felt very distressed.

Seeing this, Zhao Yifu could only think of a solution. He tried the method of circulating the true Qi that he knew, transferring the true Qi from the Yang meridian to the Yin meridian, and then pushed out a feminine and cold air from the palm of his hand.

Yes, it is inspired by "Frosty Walk on the Sky".

Perhaps after a while, he would be able to develop a 'Frost Claw Technique'.

The frost froze the wound on Zhao Guhe's back, preventing it from being damaged and no longer causing so much pain.

"It seems like you have another opportunity... Don't hate your father, it's just the rules of our family."

After Zhao Guhe regained some spirit, he said this to Zhao Yifu.

Zhao Yifu shook his head and sighed, "Don't say anything, Second Uncle. I know my father still cares about me very much. This is enough."

He never doubted this, after all, Zhao Yunhe's yang and spiritual energy would be transmitted from the seal every now and then.

Just like when the author was rewarded as the leader at some point in his previous life, he had to call the sponsor "Daddy".

They returned the same way, but to their surprise, they found that the road they came from was blocked.

It seemed as if a huge rock was pressed on the originally damaged cover.

"What should I do?"

Zhao Yehe was a little dumbfounded. Hong Shu suggested, "Why don't we go out?"

However, before Zhao Guhe, who was resting with his eyes closed, could say anything, Zhao Yifu said, "Haha, He Du is scared. He's afraid that we'll get out this way!"

"Don't worry, Uncle. Your wish has been fulfilled by your nephew."

As he finished speaking, he had already put three fasting pills in his mouth and swallowed them.

A normal person would die from eating like this.

But at this moment, Zhao Yifu suddenly exerted all his muscles.

The loose Confucian robe suddenly became tight.

The tension was even more exaggerated than during the previous battle with Shu Ling Yong Dalang.

My goodness, even the Confucian robe can’t cover up his muscles.

In this situation, he gathered most of his true energy on the five fingers of his left hand, and used all his strength to activate the Lingxu finger force.

Coupled with years of practice in Crane Claw Technique, his five fingers are now as powerful as any magic weapon in the world.

Of course, what’s more important is that these five fingers have completed the strengthening of the ‘Holy Body of Martial Arts’!

So the next moment, he used the 'Crane Claw Penetrating Force' move from the Crane Claw technique to strike straight upwards. At this moment, his five open fingers were shining like blades.

Although it might be smarter to put all five fingers together and concentrate the force on one point to attack, Zhao Yifu had other ideas.

His five fingers pierced into the huge rock above his head as if inserting tofu.

The force that burst out at the same time spread in all directions from five points, instantly shattering the internal structure of the boulder.

"boom!"

The next moment, the huge rock pressing on the top of the passage exploded and spread out in all directions like shrapnel.

This was Zhao Yifu’s plan. After all, it was easiest to be ambushed when leaving the passage.

If that’s the case, then we can’t ambush them.

He jumped up from the secret passage, and at the same time took out a Soul-Nourishing Pill and swallowed it to quickly restore his true energy.

It's just that cowardly.

He won't give anyone a chance.

After rushing out, the room was naturally a mess, but there was no one inside.

Only Zhao Yifu could hear the noise outside, and the heavy breathing of many people outside.

Obviously someone is blocking the outside.

Zhao Yifu waited quietly for the people in the passage behind to come out.

At this time, Zhao Guhe patted Zhao Yehe's shoulder and said, "Put me down, I have to stand."

Zhao Yifu was completely convinced by his second uncle's stubborn temper. If it weren't for his two elixirs, it would be lucky for this stubborn guy to still be able to breathe!

Zhao Yehe had no choice but to carefully put Zhao Guhe down and then help him walk outside.

Zhao Yifu kicked the door open first and was surrounded by a group of pirates.

"Who dares to break into my water stronghold and hurt my brothers?"

Zhao Yifu sniffed and smelled a strong smell of blood.

He tilted his head slightly and said, "Second Uncle, I think He Du has seen the situation and has started cleaning up."

Zhao Guhe said anxiously, "He Du, you bastard, He Du, where are you?!"

Because he was holding on to his last breath with the Yunling Pill, even a very strong breath, Zhao Guhe seemed to be full of energy at this time.

The pirates gathered here suddenly fell silent.

In fact, looking at the two big hooks passing through Zhao Guhe's shoulders, everyone understood what was going on.

"What are you all standing there for? Didn't my brother order that anyone who comes out of this room be shot and killed immediately?"

However, someone immediately said, "But that's the second in command!"

The gruff voice angrily said, "What's wrong with Second in Command? I've long been fed up with that arrogant fellow. If anyone dares to disobey Brother He's orders again, I'll kill them all!"

Zhao Yifu looked at the bandits in front of him, their steps unsteady and clearly still not recovering from the drug under the red bundle. He snorted coldly, then took two steps forward and said calmly, "Who's barking there? Are you only brave enough to blend in with the crowd and shout, but don't have the courage to come out?"

To be frank, the pirates were all hot-tempered and concerned about reputation. After hearing what Zhao Yifu said, a dark and strong man immediately jumped out, holding a machete in both hands and said viciously: "You poor bastard, take my knife..."

As he spoke, he swung his knife and chopped it down.

Zhao Yifu's combat experience is increasing rapidly now. Anyway, this level of combat is no longer enough for him.

He just took two quick steps forward, then extended his hand and...

As a result, Zhao Yifu held the handle of the black man's knife, and he couldn't chop it down no matter what. More importantly, his middle door was wide open and he was completely exposed to Zhao Yifu's attack.

Zhao Yifu snorted coldly, and his other hand quickly brushed across the black man's elbow, immediately making his elbow numb and then the big knife fell out of his hand.

However, the man refused to accept the defeat and continued to fight.

Zhao Yifu then grabbed his wrists with both hands, making it impossible for him to break free no matter how hard he tried.

"Crack!"

Two crisp sounds sounded almost at the same time.

The black man's wrists were disconnected at the same time, leaving only a layer of skin and flesh hanging on his hands.

The wrist was broken!

Zhao Yifu stared at the man coldly and said, "Go back and tell He Du that no matter where he hides, he has already formed a feud with Shenhe Villa."

He threw the man to the ground. The man was tough. He tried to stand up with his elbows but couldn't. However, he gritted his teeth and sweated profusely, refusing to cry out in pain.

Zhao Yehe muttered from behind, "Jun Xin is a good kid in every way, except for being too soft-hearted. He didn't even kill the guy after he got bullied to the point of being too much."

Zhao Guhe didn't care about this. He just looked at the people around him and said slowly: "You are all old brothers. Tell me the truth, have those brothers who are on good terms with me already..."

The pirates lowered their heads and said nothing.

Zhao Guhe smiled sadly, then tilted his head and fainted.

Seeing this, Zhao Yehe quickly picked up Zhao Guhe and said, "Let's go. There's no place to stay."

Hong Shu also said: "We must find a place to treat Gu He immediately, otherwise his injuries might..."

Zhao Yi Fu nodded, and then swaggered away with the three of them.

He turned his head to look at the water stronghold, and in his heart, the so-called Kuanglan Dao He Du was already a dead man.

However, he had no intention of interfering in other people's affairs. I believe Zhao Guhe would want to kill him with his own hands.

Of course, there is another meaning to keeping He Du. After all, his teacher Zhou Su also needs this group of pirates to train his troops.

Once He Du died, the morale of this group of pirates, who were already disbanded, would probably disperse.

Well, we have to squeeze out every last drop of surplus value.

　Okay, 20,000 words.
