The Return of the Condor Heroes: Starting with Conquering Huang Rong

Taihu Lake is not far from Jiaxing City, and it's not long before we're already traveling along the river.

Inside, sails were billowing, and it was unclear what they were busy with.

When Guo Jing and his party had traveled halfway, they stopped not far from the main road to rest for a while. However, as soon as they stopped the carriage, a group of people jumped out from the intersection and surrounded them.

As soon as the carriage stopped, before Guo Jing could even get up, he heard the coachman say that there were bandits blocking the road. He was shocked. What kind of bandits were these? How could they be so bold? It was broad daylight and on the official road, yet they dared to block the road.

The bandit leader was a burly man with an eyepatch over his left eye and carrying a spiked club. He had about twenty henchmen, but their attire didn't resemble that of bandits; everyone was armed.

The man to the left of the bandit leader was also one-eyed, with a scar on his face, but his head was wrapped in a white cloth.

If Yang Guo and Guo Fu were to see this now, they would definitely recognize it.

This was the scarred man, and the young waiter was beside him, his head also covered with cloth.

They had already been handed over to the authorities for investigation, but now they have been tracked down to this location.

The bandit leader said to the scarred man, "Little Scarface, you've decided those two are top-tier? That'll get the manor lord excited? Luckily, that county magistrate met you once. How could you be so stupid, getting caught by a novice? Don't tell anyone you're my brother when you get out."

The scarred man felt wronged and seethed with hatred. He hadn't gotten a single bite of meat and had even been hit by that thief's stick. How could he not seek revenge? He then flattered, "Brother, it's not that I was tricked. It's just that the girl was naturally seductive. Even when she was a virgin, she made me unable to resist. I suppose that boy's penis wasn't developed enough."

"And that beauty was even more alluring. My young waiter and I went back to the inn to inquire, and they said that the young man seemed to be her gigolo. I only caught a fleeting glimpse of him at night, and I was almost overwhelmed."

The bandit leader, unable to contain his excitement, thought to himself, "The boss is really in a rush lately. I haven't even delivered my goods yet, it's been a month. If these two beauties are truly like that, then I can keep one and send the other away. Wouldn't that be wonderful? But I need to try the one I send away first to see if it's good. My brothers have worked so hard, so let them have a taste of the one I sent away too."

"But be careful with your hands and feet. Kill the men if you want, but the women must be alive, not hurt."

The scarred man and his gang knew exactly what was going on; it was clear this wasn't their first time doing this kind of thing.

When the bandits saw Guo Jing get out of the carriage, one of their underlings challenged him, saying, "Hand over the murderer! Look how badly he's beaten our brothers! Both of them are practically covered in shreds. Why did he have to hit their heads?"

Guo Jing asked in confusion, "Heroes, have you mistaken us for someone else? When did we ever have a grudge against you?"

The scarred man shouted, "Don't pretend you don't know us! We brothers caught that lecherous scoundrel and that slut having an affair, and they actually turned around and handed us over to the authorities. Luckily, the magistrate was wise and let us go, otherwise we would have been killed by those two sluts."

Guo Jing refused to believe it and cupped his hands, saying, "Brothers, have you misunderstood? I was on my way to visit relatives at Taihu Lake with my family. When did I have any conflict with you heroes?"

The bandit leader shouted, "You old codger, don't be so ungrateful. I only came here for those two people. I'll spare the rest of you, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless with this spiked club. My Yiyun Manor is not to be trifled with."

At this moment, Ke Zhen'e, Da Xiaowu, and Xiao Wu also got out of the car.

Guo Jing had never heard of Yiyun Manor, but he was only traveling with Rong'er, four teenagers, and an old man.

If it came down to a fight to the death, he and Huang Rong would be fine, and although the master was old, he could still protect himself. But there were still four teenagers and twenty tough thugs on the other side. Even if a few of them managed to capture one of his group, he would be helpless.

However, considering that this place is around Taihu Lake, it should have some connection with Lu Family Manor. Guo Jing then said, "I am Guo Jing. I am on my way to meet with the head of Lu Family Manor. I hope you can do me a favor."

The bandit leader's face hardened upon hearing this, but he was also somewhat annoyed. He didn't know any Guo Jing, but the Lu Family Manor was quite famous. He wanted to continue, but the manor lord had specifically instructed him not to clash with the Lu Family Manor. Seeing this man's blatant disregard for reason, he thought, "What? You think you can make my brothers retreat just because of your empty words? How can I, as the leader, maintain that facade?"

Just as the bandit leader was about to speak, he saw a beautiful woman, one tall and one short, alight from the carriage behind him. He couldn't say anything and just stared at her.

Yang Guo didn't want to get out of the carriage; he was practicing his internal energy cultivation technique, and this time he was serious.

Yang Guo already possessed a talent for martial arts, and now, with the addition of his mindset from a different time and space, he was even more powerful. In just one hour, he had already glimpsed the essence of the Azure Wave Heart Method.

Many martial arts techniques on Peach Blossom Island are based on this. This method has a long and profound energy, like endless waves, providing a pure foundation of internal energy for martial arts.

As soon as Yang Guo began learning the basics, he couldn't wait to learn the accompanying Azure Wave Palm Technique. Although this technique wasn't as famous as the Falling Flower Sword Palm, Finger Flicking Skill, or Void-Splitting Palm, it was a fundamental skill that every disciple of Peach Blossom Island had to learn.

The vast ocean waves surge forward in layers, aiming for endless flow, primarily gentle, yet unpredictable. If combined with Huang Rong's Five Transformations of Qimen Dunjia, even in just a few days, Yang Guo is confident he can make the scarred man from last night kneel and call him "father."

The two beauties heard the commotion outside. If they were ordinary women, they would not have shown themselves, but they were women of the martial arts world and did not care about such things.

However, Huang Rong was filled with regret at this moment. This little man seemed to be obsessed with martial arts, and he hadn't looked at her and her daughter once along the way. She was so regretful that she wanted to die. She didn't want to raise her little man to be a man who only knew how to practice martial arts.

She never gave Yang Guo a kind look, especially after hearing her daughter talk about what happened last night. Her heart was pounding. She knew how loud she had screamed. Her daughter was right next door, and her husband was two doors down. Her face burned, and she was still shaken.

Hearing about her daughter's ordeal with him, she felt ashamed, angry, and helpless. Although this young man had saved Fu'er, she could tell from Fu'er's eyes that her daughter was deeply in love with him, which made her feel confused and at a loss.

Now, seeing the man practicing his skills without uttering a word, she regretted giving him the cultivation manual even more.

The two women then got out of the carriage one after the other, and Yang Guo had no choice but to follow.

Meanwhile, the bandit leader stared at the two women behind Guo Jing, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets. He had never seen anything like it before. One of the women was voluptuous and mature, her breasts barely concealed even by her loose-fitting dress. The other looked to be under the age of marriage, but her tall figure was on par with the great beauty beside her, and perhaps even slightly more so.

The two women look remarkably alike, clearly related by blood; they are truly beautiful sisters.

If he could take both the adult and the child down with him tonight, wouldn't it be worth it even if he became a ghost right now?

The bandit leader stared intently at the two women. Guo Jing felt more confident after seeing Huang Rong get out of the carriage, and didn't notice anything wrong with the way the villain was looking at his wife and daughter.

Guo Fu, however, was furious when she saw the scarred man and the waiter, and said something to Huang Rong.

Not to mention that Huang Rong and Guo Fu were very perceptive and immediately sensed that disgusting gaze, which made the two women feel disgusted and wished they could teach him a lesson.

Yang Guo, who was already annoyed, saw that the villain opposite him was staring at his woman. He moved swiftly and stood in front of the two women.

Huang Rong saw Guo Jing standing unmoved and Yang Guo standing in front of her, and felt a mix of emotions.

Guo Fumei's eyes, however, shone with tenderness as she stared intently at Yang Guo's retreating figure.

Seeing the two women's qualities, the bandit leader was not about to give up. He didn't care about who the Heavenly King was, and he even abandoned the idea of ​​giving one to his boss. He wanted them both.

He immediately retorted angrily, "I don't know any Guo Jing or Master Lu. The girl and boy behind you who framed my brother must apologize."

Guo Jing frowned upon hearing this. He had heard about what happened last night from his daughter, but he knew his daughter well enough. In addition, there was Yang Guo, who had never been disciplined before, so he really couldn't guarantee that he would believe her.

He figured he should just apologize; otherwise, if a fight broke out, Huang Rong was injured, and he wouldn't be able to protect everyone.

So he walked up to Yang Guo and Guo Fu and said, "Guo'er, Fu'er, go and apologize. We're all in the martial world, there's no need to make a blood feud."

Guo Fu couldn't bear to be wronged, but she was afraid of her father, so she was too angry to speak and pouted at her mother.

Yang Guo, on the other hand, had a big smile on his face. The scarred man, who had just wanted to beat him up, was now calling him "father," and now his chance had come.

Huang Rong, standing beside her, couldn't bear to watch. Although Fu'er was feisty, she wouldn't joke about her reputation. Moreover, the other party's piercing gaze suggested ill intent and that they might have a backup plan.

"Brother Jing, Fu'er would never joke about her reputation, and the other party is not friendly, so they won't give up so easily."

"Rong'er, how could I not know? But we can't fight against so many people. If they all attack at once, how can we protect these children?"

Huang Rong naturally understood this principle, but backing down would only embolden them and could potentially put Fu'er and Guo'er in danger. It was better to strike first.

Yang Guo, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up: "There's no need to trouble yourself."

He said to Huang Rong and Guo Jing, "Master Guo has profound internal strength and is proficient in the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. I will go forward to distract them, and you and Chief Huang can seize the opportunity to capture the bandit leader first."

"good!"

"No!"

Two completely different answers were given at the same time.

Huang Rong was anxious. It wasn't that she didn't trust the young man, but he had only recently started learning martial arts. Even if he was intelligent, what could he possibly accomplish in such a short time?

Aside from conquering her, there simply isn't enough time to do anything else.

Guo Jing listened with great appreciation.

"Don't worry, you two. That bandit leader will definitely have more tricks up his sleeve. If it were just about robbing money, he would have done it already."

Yang Guo had witnessed the scarred man's bewitching powder firsthand; he might have been completely doomed if he had fallen for it.

He secretly exchanged a glance with Huang Rong. Although Huang Rong didn't know why the young man was looking at her, she instinctively felt that she had missed something. Then she suddenly remembered what her daughter had said about how she was captured, and about that scarred man.
