The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

The Chu Lu people's defensive posture, which seemed to be like "one, two, three, wooden man," has basically been exposed!

"Heh, it seems Chu Taisui's skills haven't quite reached their full potential yet!" Wuhen Gongzi sneered.

murderous look!

This time, the Traceless Young Master truly carried a murderous aura...

Chu Luren could understand, after all, he had already seen the foot pedal.

"Young Master Wuhen, it seems we can't determine who is better, so let's stop fighting." Chu Luren maintained his Dao Embryo state and spoke using "ventriloquism".

"Can't tell the difference? I wonder if someone like Chu Tai Sui can withstand fire, flooding, or even a ten-thousand-pound boulder?" Wuhen Gongzi thought to himself: Do you have any shame? You call this being unable to tell the difference?

"Young Master Wuhen is known as 'Spring Dreams Leave No Trace,' isn't he afraid of ruining his image by killing people like this?" Chu Luren asked righteously.

After a moment's thought, Wuhen Gongzi roughly understood what Chu Luren meant by "persona." Hearing this, he twitched the corner of his mouth, as if to say: You actually care about my persona? What were you doing just now?

Taking advantage of Wuhen Gongzi's momentary lapse in concentration, Chu Luren's sense of danger decreased. He immediately ended his Dao Embryo state and used his movement technique to dart a few steps towards the outside of the forest.

However, Young Master Wuhen reacted quickly, and Chu Luren was forced to stop after only three or five zhang!

That's why the White Camel Snake Slaves had already escaped far away. Otherwise, if they had witnessed the "battle of the gods" between the second and twelfth ranked on the Heavenly Ranking, and become "one, two, three, wooden figures," Young Master Wuhen would probably have killed them all.

"How many hidden weapons do you have left?" Chu Luren asked Wuhen Gongzi, who had just unleashed a barrage of attacks on his back, while still half-lying forward.

"We've already used them all up," said the expressionless young master.

Chu Luren moved again, but after only half a step, he was met with another storm. Fortunately, Chu Luren managed to turn face up.

After all, the back is almost full...

"Young Master Wuhen, you've lost all your martial virtue! Didn't you say you had none?" Chu Luren retorted indignantly, using ventriloquism.

"Hehe, guess again." The Traceless Young Master moved to a tree that was closer.

This made Chu Luren suspect that as long as he escaped from the forest, Wuhen would not continue to pursue him.

After all, there was no tree for him to stand on, and the outer shell of the sedan chair had already been broken by himself. If he were to openly expose the footstool, it would seem rather foolish.

However, with more and more hidden weapons piercing his flesh, Chu Luren felt that his defense had also decreased, especially his "skin". It was probably because too many places were broken, and his overall defense had declined!

If this happens a few more times, it's likely that blood will be drawn.

Fortunately, just then, we heard...

"Coo coo coo!" Little Red, whom Chu Luren cursed in his heart for being "heartless," flew back again.

Little Red's cries had no effect on a master like Wuhen Gongzi. Trying to win by speed and pecking at its eyes would be like showing off one's limited skills before an expert.

But importantly, Xiao Hong attracted reinforcements!

Murong Jiu had just heard the firebird's cry and seemed somewhat anxious. Moreover, the firebird had reached the vicinity of the Qin family's hut and even circled twice, but Chu Luren was nowhere to be seen. So, she followed the firebird and rushed over.

"Is the visitor Young Master Wuhen?" Murong Jiu asked, cupping his hands in greeting, after arriving.

"It is indeed I, Young Master Murong."

"The moonlight is just right tonight. Young Master Wuhen did not come with any beauties to this desolate place. It would be beneath your dignity to engage in a fight with commoners."

"Young Master Murong is not on Taihu Lake with his beautiful companion, but instead he's entangled with Chu Tai Sui. What a disappointment!"

The two "young masters" became feignedly polite, and didn't forget to grumble at Chu Luren.

Just then, Chu Luren suddenly launched an attack, rushing back with a burst of small dragon turtle energy. Ten feet away, a dragon-head-shaped true energy shot towards the sedan chair of Wuhen Gongzi...!

With a loud bang, the four humanoid puppets were only slightly affected, while the sedan chair in the middle was smashed to pieces.

Wuhen Gongzi's face had darkened, but when he saw Chu Luren turn to look at him and even blink, his anger subsided slightly—it could be said that Chu Luren didn't want to offend him to death, so... he destroyed the "evidence" for him.

Before Murong Jiu sees the foot pedal, let's smash it completely first!

"I, Chu Luren, can't stand sedan chairs!" Chu Luren forced himself to find a reason.

Murong Jiu's face also darkened. She thought Chu Luren was just looking for trouble and really wanted to drag her and Young Master Wuhen to their deaths.

Although Murong Jiu ranked ninth on the Heavenly Ranking, second only to Master Yideng, and three places higher than Young Master Wuhen...

However, it should be noted that Murong Jiu's ranking can actually be considered as the ranking of the "Murong Family". The invisible influence of her eight older sisters and eight brothers-in-law is also included!

If a real fight breaks out, Murong Jiu would probably be no match for Wuhen Gongzi in a one-on-one fight. If they really fought to the death, it would probably be a one-for-one exchange.

Murong Jiu briefly considered "I don't care if you die," but then she felt a sense of detachment—clearly, Xiao Jiu Jiu wouldn't let Chu Luren go and deliver it himself.

Murong Jiu could only desperately think of "I will protect your big brother" and "We'll die together" to calm Xiao Jiu down—she couldn't bear to let Xiao Jiu fight outside!

Murong Jiu was prepared, but Wuhen Gongzi did not fly into a rage as expected. Instead, he snorted coldly and said, "Consider yourself lucky today. If I find out in the future that you have disgraced the Wuhen Lianxin Sutra, you'd better never move again!"

After speaking, Wuhen Gongzi floated down and appeared directly between the four humanoid puppets. With a flick of his sleeve, he took all four of them with him. Even while carrying these four, his figure remained ghostly, a "large mass" of five white figures weaving through the tree trunks and branches in the forest without ever touching the ground.

Seeing the other party leave, Murong Jiu was somewhat surprised, but when she faced Chu Luren, her expression remained unpleasant.

but……

Chu Luren paid no attention to these things. Instead, he carefully removed all the various "tools" from his body and then sorted and stored them away.

"What are you doing?" Murong Jiu asked with a stern face.

"Dog God Marquis gave me the 'Traceless Heart Sutra,' which caused me to become enemies with Young Master Wuhen... Fortunately, there is no method for forging hidden weapons in it, so I have to keep it since it can still be used this time. I can't let myself get stabbed for nothing!" Chu Luren said righteously.

Upon hearing this, Murong Jiu's expression turned somewhat strange as he said, "You mean... borrowing arrows with straw boats?"

Chu Luren: ...

"Which nickname do you think sounds better, 'Little Zhuge Liang of the Martial Arts World' or 'Surpassing Zhuge Liang'?"

Chapter 365 Subjugation

"Little Red, wait a minute!" Chu Luren called out as the firebird was about to fly away.

Xiao Hong turned her head and looked at him, tilting her head in confusion, her eyes full of disgust—she still remembered how he had almost strangled it before.

Fortunately, it was intelligent and knew that the Chu deer was trying to save it...

Well, at least he could be considered saved, which is why Little Red didn't fly away immediately but went to ask for help for him!

However, the development that Chu Luren had hoped for, similar to that of Pikachu and Ash, obviously did not happen.

“Little Red, that guy in the white shirt is really bad, he might have his eye on you. Why don’t you come with me?” Chu Luren said, gesturing as he spoke.

First, he pulled out a tuft of his hair, imitating the hairstyle of the Unmarked Gentleman; then he made a fierce expression; and finally, he adopted a "Xiao Zhi-style protective" posture...

In short, if Young Master Wuhen saw this, he would probably turn around and fight another five hundred rounds!

However, Xiao Hong felt nothing as she watched Chu Luren's performance; in fact, she even felt a little like flying away.

"Xiao Hong, wait a minute!" Chu Luren stopped her again.

This time, Chu Luren did not perform again. Instead, he took out the Divine Wood King Cauldron and then lit a light blue incense stick—this was incense specially designed for snakes!

Thanks to the Divine Wood Cauldron, the incense's effects are astonishing, especially here...

Just as the firebird left, Chu Luren and Wuhen Gongzi also left the original place after fighting and stopping along the way. Naturally, the snake swarm had also dispersed, and most of them had been called away by the snake slaves.

Originally, those snake slaves were actually relieved to have encountered the "battle of the gods" between Young Master Wuhen and Chu Luren, which allowed them to preserve most of the snake formation.

However, as soon as the incense was lit, the white camel snake slave, who had already escaped more than ten miles away, discovered that the snake group was acting strangely again.

This time, even though there were no "cooing" sounds, the snakes disobeyed orders and turned back, with some even fighting and devouring each other!

The direction they were heading back was clearly the same as the direction they were going. The white camel snake slaves followed for a while, but then dared not continue. They had no choice but to accept the fact that they had lost it and then regained it, only to lose it again.

I've made up my mind that when I return and apologize to the Master and Young Master, I'll explain that I encountered Chu Tai Sui and Young Master Wuhen, which is beyond my control.

At the same time, he secretly hoped that he would meet the master of the manor first, as the master would be more reasonable in this regard. If it were the young master of the manor...

Don't be fooled by Ouyang Ke's silence in front of Chu Luren. If any of his subordinates lose the snake formation because they are afraid of Chu Luren, he will show no leniency whatsoever. He might even go so far as to punish them severely, including himself.

Because of the snake formation, the Chu Lu people had a great harvest this time using the Divine Wood King Cauldron. Basically, all the snakes that crawled over were huge, fat vipers!

Several of them were clearly larger and had more elaborate markings than the vipers Xiaohong had eaten before.

It seems that the viper, which had previously been able to resist the intimidation of the little red cries, was now unable to resist the attraction of the Divine Wood King Cauldron!

Twenty or thirty fish were swimming around the "Divine Wood King Cauldron," and just as they were about to compete again, Little Red made two "cooing" sounds, which scared them all away. They chose a few of the larger fish and swallowed their gallbladders whole.

After that, Xiao Hong hopped around the Divine Wood King Cauldron and looked at it more. It wasn't afraid of snakes, and hunting snakes was easy for it, but finding so many "fat snakes" on a regular basis was very difficult!

Today, we were able to eat so heartily because the people from White Camel Mountain Villa came to "deliver" food to us. Otherwise, the poisonous snakes in the surrounding forest would have been almost completely eaten by this little bird, since it only eats snake gallbladders!

For this little red bird, as long as there's food, it's fine; it doesn't care about the size at all...

Meanwhile, the remaining venomous snakes were now tangled up around the area, wanting to approach the Divine Wood King Cauldron while simultaneously fearing Little Red.

Only after Xiao Hong called out twice more did the vipers reluctantly and unwillingly disperse.

Xiao Hong glanced at the Divine Wood King Cauldron, then at the Chu Luren, like a picky and experienced job applicant, ignoring the boss's empty promises until the offer was made, at which point she would give it a second thought.

……

When Chu Luren and Murong Jiu returned to the cabin by the woods, Xiao Hong was already standing on his shoulders.

"Ah! It's this strange bird! Master Chu, you've tamed this strange bird?" Qin Nanqin was both surprised and excited upon seeing it.

"If I, this young master, display my power, this bird will have to follow me!" Chu Luren boasted, emphasizing "this young master" as he spoke.

"What just happened? Why is this bird trying to lure Young Master Murong over?" Mu Wanqing was clearly not buying Chu Luren's act.

"Isn't it a coincidence? In such a short time, I've run into both the snake slave from White Camel Mountain and Young Master Wuhen. I even happened to save this 'Little Red.' I guess it saw me and Young Master Wuhen fighting fiercely, so it came to ask for help!" Chu Luren said, turning to look at Murong Jiu, blinking its innocent big eyes.

Murong Jiu had no choice but to say, "That's right. After I arrived, before I could even make a move, Young Master Wuhen withdrew on his own."

Judging from this explanation, it seems as if the Wuhen Gongzi and Chu Luren were evenly matched, and I could never imagine the scene of "one, two, three, wooden man" and "borrowing arrows with straw boats".

Upon learning that the strange bird had been subdued by the Chu deer people, Old Man Qin hesitated...

If that's the case, why bother going to Lin'an or overseas to catch snakes?

Seeing his granddaughter's enthusiasm, and considering the high reward and the travel expenses already given by the Chu Lu people, Old Man Qin gritted his teeth and decided to leave his hometown again.

Chu Luren had been busy all night, and it was almost dawn. He and Murong Jiu were fine, but Mu Wanqing and Azi were a little listless. Although they could push themselves, there was no rush, so they rested at the Qin family for another day.

Early the next morning, Chu Luren bid farewell to the Qin family grandfather and grandson. Old Man Qin also prepared to pack his things and head to Lin'an soon.

After leaving Fengzhu County, thanks to "Xiao Hong" along the way, the operation of the "Shenmu Wangding" became increasingly foolproof!

There were some poisonous insects, which Chu Luren was not afraid of, but if they were not captured properly, they would easily die before they could be "neutralized" from the poison, and the insects would be wasted. A Zi would then have to identify them and give him a way to "capture them alive".
