Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

As Jiang Fengyue and Chu Liuxiang slowly approached, they realized that the woman was dressed in a white robe.

She had large eyes, thick eyebrows, and a straight nose, which gave her an imposing and dignified appearance. Her expression further emphasized her domineering and self-important nature.

Jiang Fengyue guessed that this person was the Water Mother Yin Ji.

"Check-in!"

"Successfully checked in with Jellyfish Yin Princess, gained fifty years of internal energy."

Jiang Fengyue felt his internal energy become incredibly powerful. He picked up a stone from the ground and gently squeezed it, and the stone shattered into countless small pieces.

The female warrior was unaware that the Water Mother Yin Ji was nearby. Someone like the Water Mother Yin Ji could appear anywhere silently.

Jellyfish Yin Ji said calmly, "You've finally come."

Upon seeing the Water Mother Yin Ji, the male maiden exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

The jellyfish Yin Ji said softly, "Come see my daughter."

As she spoke, Jellyfish Yin Ji gently stroked Situ Jing's tombstone.

Now it was Chu Liuxiang's turn to be surprised, because he never imagined that Situ Jing would be the daughter of Shui Mu Yin Ji, and that Shui Mu Yin Ji would be Xiong Niangzi's lover.

He quickly figured it out. He finally understood why Xiong Niangzi hadn't died at the hands of Shui Mu Yin Ji. The Shen Shui Palace had only spread the news of his death to help him fake it and escape.

The female warrior stood up and said coldly, "Why did Jing'er commit suicide?"

The Water Mother Yin Ji sighed, "Because she was just like me back then, bewitched by a man's sweet words, tricked into giving up her body, and even became pregnant. She was afraid that I would punish her according to the sect rules, so she committed suicide with resentment."

The woman roared, "Why? Are you just going to watch her die? Doesn't she know that no mother in the world is hard-hearted enough to kill her own child?"

Shuimu Yinji's voice choked with emotion as she said, "She didn't know I was her mother. She... she didn't know I was her biological mother until she died."

The female warrior remained silent, raising one hand as if to embrace the water mother Yin Ji, but then immediately lowered it.

Jellyfish Yin Ji's tone returned to its icy coldness as she said, "You shouldn't have come here. And don't even think about trying to deceive me with sweet words again. I will never forgive you. You should know that."

The woman asked, "Do you really want me to die here?"

Jellyfish Yin Ji coldly replied, "You have broken your vow, and I will not consider our past relationship."

Shuimu Yinji then turned to Jiang Fengyue and Chu Liuxiang and said, "Moreover, you shouldn't have brought two outsiders to the Divine Water Palace."

Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly and said, "I came here to keep an appointment. Your Majesty should know that I was not the one who stole the 'Heavenly One Divine Water'."

Jellyfish Yin Ji sneered, "So this is the dashing and debonair Chu Xiang Shuai. I've been waiting for you to come to your death at the Divine Water Palace. Now that you're here, there's no need for you to leave."

Jiang Fengyue coldly said, "I've heard that Shuimu Yinji's martial arts are the best in the world. How about a match with me? If I win, you'll let us leave and promise not to bother Chu Liuxiang again. What do you say?"

As if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, Jellyfish Yin Ji could no longer hide her smile and laughed, "I think you really don't know what's good for you. You must be crazy to say such things. Who do you think you are? You dare to fight me?"

Jiang Fengyue punched a lake rock next to the waterfall. The rock, which was as tall as a person, first cracked, and then the whole rock shattered and scattered all over the ground.

Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "Now? Am I worthy to fight you?"

Jellyfish Yin Ji was slightly surprised and said, "Since you want to die first, then I will grant your wish."

She then said softly to Xiong Niangzi, "I'll spare your life for now. You stay here obediently and wait for me to kill them both. Then I'll come back for you. This time, you won't be able to escape no matter what."

Jiang Fengyue unfastened the sword from his waist and tossed it lightly to the ground. He didn't intend to use the sword; he wanted to test the level of his internal strength.

Jellyfish Yin Ji struck with her palm, but the speed was so slow that it seemed anyone who could move could easily dodge it.

Jiang Fengyue tried to dodge, but Shui Mu Yin Ji was already in front of him. Her light-footed movements made Shui Mu Yin Ji look like she was in the water, not on land, just like a fish swimming very fast.

Jiang Fengyue instantly gathered his inner strength in his right hand and met the attack with a palm strike. He instantly felt as if he were in the middle of a torrent, and could only keep struggling against the current. If he had even the slightest thought of retreating, he would be drowned by the torrent.

The simplest moves, the simplest duel, it's all about who runs out of internal energy first, and whoever does will die at the hands of the other. But both of their internal energies seem to be inexhaustible, constantly being channeled into their palms.

The two forces reached their limits simultaneously, and the enormous impact separated their hands, each being forced back more than ten steps.

Jiang Fengyue was not used to the feeling of using internal energy and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. What he did not know was that the blood was stagnant blood forced out by the internal energy circulating in his body and clearing his meridians.

Chu Liuxiang stepped forward to help Jiang Fengyue up, saying, "Little Jiang, don't be reckless. If the two of us work together, we might still have a chance of winning."

Jiang Fengyue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve and said, "At a time like this, neither of us is of any use. When dealing with a master like Shui Mu Yin Ji, it's bound to be chaotic if both of us attack together."

Jellyfish Yin Ji was also in bad shape at the moment, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. This was not bruising, but rather a sign that she was genuinely injured.

Jellyfish Yin Ji said coldly, "In the past twenty-odd years, you are the first person who has been able to hurt me. I admit you have some skill, but I will never let you go today."

After speaking, Jellyfish Yin Ji struck out with a palm strike from afar.

Jiang Fengyue also gathered her palm power in advance and stepped forward to meet the attack.

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, Jellyfish Yin Ji saw Xiong Niangzi, who was already preparing to sneak away.

Jellyfish Yin Ji cried out, "You heartless man! Are you going to abandon me again?"

As soon as Shuimu Yinji shouted, the force of her palm strike was reduced, but at this moment Jiang Fengyue's full-force palm strike was about to come down, and Jiang Fengyue was completely unable to stop.

A palm strike brimming with terrifying internal force struck Shuimu Yinji, sending her flying several meters before she landed squarely on Situ Jing's grave.

Xiong Niangzi stopped running away; he would never need to run away again. He rushed back and hugged Shui Mu Yin Ji to check her injuries.

Jellyfish Yin Ji's meridians were all severed, and blood kept gushing from her mouth.

The male concubine hugged her tightly, crying out in heart-wrenching sobs.

With all her might, Jellyfish Yin Ji managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Promise me... don't run away again... okay?"

Her right hand gently stroked Xiong Niangzi's face, stroking the wrinkles at the corners of Xiong Niangzi's eyes. To her, this face was as captivating as it had been when they first met twenty years ago.

The woman cried out, "Okay, I promise you, I won't run away anymore, I'll never run away again."

Jellyfish Yin Ji slowly closed her eyes, her face full of a happy smile. For someone like her, dying in the arms of the person she loved most was surely fulfilling.

Xiong Niangzi gently laid down her body, stood up, took a few steps, picked up the sword Jiang Fengyue had thrown on the ground, and walked back.

He drew his sword and circled the blade around his neck. The movement was exquisite, like a dancer gracefully moving.

The sword fell to the ground, and so did the man.
