Tianlong: Starting with Mantuo Manor as fertilizer

Tan Qing, wielding the Soul-Chasing Staff, has long been a seasoned veteran of the martial world, possessing a wealth of experience.

Although this is the first time I've seen this move today, I know that this type of Buddhist swordsmanship follows a fierce and powerful approach.

It does not seek complicated and ingenious moves, but focuses on the unstoppable momentum of the sword.

He anticipated that this move would have a continuous follow-up effect, so he quickly retreated to avoid its sharp edge.

They waited until the opponent's sword momentum was about to wane before launching a counterattack.

Little did they know that Xie Ruo only knew this one move, the Bodhidharma Sword Technique.

After thrusting out his sword, he immediately withdrew it to defend himself and did not launch another attack.

Tan Qing was momentarily surprised and uncertain.

He was unaware that the other party had exhausted all their tricks and thought they had other ulterior motives and were plotting something.

Out of fear, they dared not step forward.

The two stood several feet apart, circling around each other.

One wielded an iron staff, making feints and striking randomly; the other brandished a long sword, making feints and thrusts randomly.

Tan Qing was still bothered by his repeated failures in ventriloquism, and secretly began to emit evil sounds.

This time, however, he was careful and did not use much of his internal energy.

Sound can enter the ears, but it cannot disturb the mind.

Just as the message was sent, Xie Buruo appeared to be swaying from side to side and looking dazed.

Tan Qing was both shocked and furious, and only then did he realize that the other party had pretended to fall for the trap in order to lure him in.

"If you can lie to me, then why can't I lie to you?"

Tan Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he leaped forward, smashing his iron staff down on Tan Qing's head.

Midway through the attack, he twisted his wrist and immediately changed his move.

The blow to the head transformed into a powerful sweep, striking Xie Buruo's waist.

This move became extremely fast, and was originally an unexpected killing move.

Xie Buruo couldn't distinguish between the real and fake moves in Tan Qing's tactics, but he knew that he had already fooled the other party twice.

Even a fool would inevitably become suspicious.

I can't fall for that a third time!

Therefore, before the opponent attacked, Xie Buruo had already stepped onto the Guimei position.

Tan Qing then struck out with his staff.

He didn't care whether the move was vertical or horizontal, real or fake, and just took that Lingbo Weibu step.

With a single step, his body turned to the side, and he seemed to vanish into thin air.

His footwork was still in its early stages and not yet fully developed, and he was unable to coordinate it with his swordsmanship.

However, the hidden arrows on his wrist can be fired with a simple raise of his hand.

The moment Xie Bu Ruo turned around and circled behind enemy lines, he had already raised his hand.

With a sharp whoosh.

Tan Qing's staff missed its mark, and as he was slightly taken aback, he heard the sound of a spring being turned behind him.

He felt a chill run down his spine, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.

Years of life-and-death battles have made his body react faster than his brain.

His body instinctively leaped to the left, avoiding a fatal blow to his back.

But a sharp pain came from my right arm.

He didn't have time to look closely; he quickly used his iron staff to push off the ground and leaped into the air.

After creating some distance, he looked down and discovered a short arrow stuck in his right arm.

That arrow was exactly the same as the one in Sun Sanba's chest.

He was just different from Sun Sanba.

Tan Qing wasn't wearing any leather armor, and his right arm went numb instantly.

He was terrified and hurriedly took out the secret antidote pills from Yipintang. He didn't care whether they would work or not and just poured them into his mouth.

Xie, seizing the opportunity, used the "Immortal's Guidance" technique to finish him off.

The sword move had barely been executed when a furious roar exploded in his ears.

"So it was you who killed my disciple!"

When the Crocodile God of the South Sea saw the poisoned arrow on Tan Qing's arm, he thought it was Xie Buruo who killed Sun Sanba.

He flew into a rage, his crocodile-mouth scissors flashing wildly as he prepared to attack.

The four of them were locked in a fierce battle, and even if he wanted to come over, he couldn't shake off the entanglement of others.

To everyone's surprise, when the two women from Lingjiu Palace saw Xie Bushuo use "Immortal's Guidance," they were slightly distracted and taken aback.

They chased after Sun Sanba and Wu Liang for only two reasons.

First, they stole an antidote for the Life and Death Talisman.

The antidote was originally intended for a maid to deliver to a cave master, but it was stolen en route.

The Western Xia Yipintang has always been at odds with the Tianshan Lingjiu Palace.

Sun Sanba, Wu Liang, and others stole the medicine in hopes of gaining a chance to join the First-Class Hall.

The other matter is related to Wu Liang.

The theft of the antidote alone was not enough to alarm the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny.

During the theft of the medicine, a fight broke out between the two sides, and Wu Liang once used a move called "Immortal Points the Way".

That move is a martial art of the Free and Unfettered Sect, and it is never passed on to outsiders.

Upon hearing the report from her subordinates, Tianshan Tonglao learned that Wu Liangsheng was ugly and uncouth, and deduced that the beauty-obsessed Li Qiushui would never have taught him swordsmanship.

She has always been concerned about her junior brother, Wuyazi, for many years.

Although I don't believe Wu Yazi would teach ugly people martial arts, it's still a clue.

Therefore, the Child Granny ordered the two heads of the Juntian Department to personally investigate.

We must capture Wu Liang and find out the origin of his swordsmanship.

By comparison.

The theft of the antidote to the Life and Death Talisman became secondary.

After all, that antidote could only relieve pain and itching; it wasn't a true cure.

Although the refining process is complicated, it is not particularly precious.

The two women from Lingjiu Palace lost their composure and their strength diminished, allowing the Crocodile God of the South Sea to break free of their entanglement.

He lunged at Xie Buruo like a giant crocodile.

Upon seeing this, Kang Guangling cried out "Ouch!" and struck out with his palm.

Although Yue Laosan was simple-minded, he was quick-witted when it came to fighting.

He twisted his right wrist, shoved the scissors back behind his back, and caught them with a backhand.

Using Kang Guangling's powerful palm strike, he moved even faster.

With a flick of his left wrist, the crocodile tail whip slashed down towards Xie Buruo's head.

Seeing Yue Laosan rushing towards him, Xie Buruo had no time to stab Tan Qing.

With a quick movement of his feet, he used the Lingbo Weibu technique to dodge the attack.

With a snap.

The crocodile tail whip lashed heavily onto the ground, raising dust and leaving a thick welt.

Yue Laosan took Kang Guangling's palm strike head-on, and the clash of their internal forces caused his blood and qi to churn.

Then the white-bearded old man came running over, and the two women from Lingjiu Palace beside him also seemed to be about to move.

Tan Qing's voice came right next to my ear.

"Third...Second Uncle, I've been poisoned!"

"Let's go quickly!"

His attack missed, but he didn't stop, and he flew away.

With a flick of his wrist, the crocodile tail whip wrapped around Tan Qing's waist, and he plunged headfirst into the lake.

With a splash, water sprayed, and the figure vanished.

Strands of blood rose from the emerald green lake water, indicating that the two were clearly seriously injured.

Xie Bu Ruo raised his hand and fired two poisoned arrows, which only hit the surface of the water.

He had just sighed inwardly at the pity when a green shadow flashed in front of him, and the two women from Lingjiu Palace had already swept in from the left and right.

She gently raised her two jade-like hands and pressed them onto Xie Buruo's shoulders, as if to capture him.

Before they could even release their strength, Kang Guangling's figure had already arrived in an instant.

Upon approaching, he raised both hands and clapped them out.

The two women raised their hands to receive the palm strike, but they were no match for Kang Guangling's powerful internal energy. They slipped and retreated three feet.

The Crocodile God of the South Sea had already fled. Knowing that they were powerless to contend with Kang Guangling, the two became much more polite in their speech.

"Are you determined to make things difficult for my sisters?"

Kang Guangling was not fond of fighting throughout his life, so he could only try to defuse the conflict, shaking his head repeatedly.

"As long as you two don't thank me, I won't make things difficult for you."

Fu Minyi and the other woman exchanged a glance, knowing they were no match for each other.

"We're looking for him because we have something we'd like to ask him."

They looked at Xie Buruo, and Cheng Qingshuang spoke first.

"Where did you learn your swordsmanship?"

As Fu Minyi spoke, she used her finger as a sword, striking a pose reminiscent of "a sage pointing the way."

Before leaving Misty Peak, she had already been taught this move by the Heavenly Child Granny.

Xie Bu Ruo glanced at the two women from Lingjiu Palace, then at Kang Guangling, and thought to himself.

"The two major factions of the Free and Unfettered Sect are serving me alone; I'm truly blessed."

He could have used his knowledge of the plot to get closer to the two women from Lingjiu Palace.

But then I thought about it again.

The people of Lingjiu Palace are not like Madam Wang, who is obsessed with love.

They are not as easily fooled as Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing.

If I reveal too much, I'll definitely be targeted by these fierce-looking guys.

"I don't have the Seven Treasures Ring, nor did I save Tianshan Child Granny like Xuzhu did."

After a moment's thought, I made up my mind.

He had no choice but to sacrifice his fellow Daoist to save himself.

"I am a disciple of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and my swordsmanship is naturally passed down from my master!"

Cheng Qingshuang raised an eyebrow slightly, as if she didn't believe it.

Xie immediately displayed two moves of the Boundless Sword Technique.

His swordsmanship was skillful, clearly the result of hard work, something that couldn't be achieved overnight.

Fu Minyi nodded and said to Cheng Qingshuang, "It is indeed the Wuliang Sword Technique. I have been to Wuliang Mountain; Sikong Xuan was from that area."

Cheng Qingshuang still had doubts: "The swordsmanship you used when you fought Tan Qing was far superior to the Boundless Sword Technique. Your sect doesn't seem to have anyone with such talent who could create such a sword move!"

Xie Buruo frankly replied, "That's right. This sword technique wasn't created by our Wuliang Sword Sect's predecessors, but rather it's a celestial sword technique that our sect's predecessors learned from the Wuliang Jade Wall!"

The two women asked in unison, "Boundless Jade Disc? Immortal Sword Technique?"

Xie Bu Ruo then embellished the story.

"My martial uncles, Zuo Zimu and Xin Shuangqing, know more about this than I do!"

Fu Minyi and the other woman exchanged a glance, their faces showing delight.

The two of them traveled thousands of miles to find out the truth behind this sword technique.

Now that we finally have a definite clue, enough to return to Misty Peak and report back to the Heavenly Child Granny, a huge weight has been lifted from my heart.

According to the usual practice, Xie Buruo should be escorted back to Misty Peak and interrogated by Granny Tong herself.

But Xie Ruo was not Wu Liang; he had someone backing him!

They weren't strong enough to fight, so they could only treat each other with courtesy.

The two women discussed it in hushed tones.

Fu Minyi said to Cheng Qingshuang, "I'll have Sikong Xuan investigate this matter first."

With their inner conflict resolved, the two women were eager to return to Misty Peak to report back.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xie Buruo and Kang Guangling, and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he saw the corpse of Sun Sanba.

Fu Minyi turned around and asked a question.

"Young Master Xie, did you see this person carrying a bottle of pills?"

Xie Buruo shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it."

Seeing that the two women looked rather disbelieving, Xie Buruo put on a righteous face and raised his hand to swear an oath.

"If Xie is lying, may he be struck by lightning!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Dark clouds surged on the horizon, and the faint sound of thunder could be heard.

Xie Bu Ruo recalled how he had lived in his previous life, and immediately stopped talking and sighed.

"The weather in Jiangnan is really unpredictable."
