The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Yaoyue looked over in disbelief, her eyes filled with rage—"How could you live with those lowly maids? Are you still my sister?"

Although Lianxing was scared, she forced herself to say, "At least... you... can do it, sister!"

Inviting the Moon: ? ? ?

"What did you say?" In her anger, Yaoyue's skin became transparent, and the "little light person" at her core was the color of jade.

Lianxing was terrified, but remembering that her sister was doing this to fulfill her wish, she suppressed her fear, her eyes reddening, and forced herself to say, "Even so... I want to be with you, sister! If you really don't want to, I can... just watch you from the sidelines!" As she spoke, her skin became transparent, and she entered the battle form of the eighth level of Mingyu.

Yaoyue finally understood somewhat. It was hard not to react violently to her sister's attempt to match her with Chu Luren!

Foolish sister!

I didn't want to beat you up today...

Lianxing also mustered her courage. If it was for her sister's sake and she was going to rebel against her sister... she would do it!

Chu Luren was completely confused about the situation, but felt he should do something, so he shouted, "Hey! Stop fighting!"

Chapter 524 Unparalleled Battle

In an unnamed valley of Mount Emei, an epic battle that would shock the martial arts world unfolded without any bystanders...

Only four people fought, but even the weakest one would be ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking!

wrong!

There were also onlookers, a bird and a monkey. The bird was anxiously cooing, but it couldn't get involved at all. The monkey, on the other hand, was so excited that it kept doing somersaults and gesturing, trying to imitate the four people's moves, but it was obviously too difficult for it at its current level.

Originally, it was Yaoyue and Lianxing who made the move. At this time, Yaoyue was only at the eighth level of the Mingyu Gong. Unlike Chu Luren, Yaoyue's cultivation of the Mingyu Gong was to completely integrate with the technique, either to fully comprehend it or to completely transform it into her own form. Reaching the eighth level meant that the eighth level held no secrets for her. In fact, with just the eighth level of the Mingyu Gong, Yaoyue was already standing before the Heavenly Gate.

In contrast, Lianxing was also at the eighth level of the Mingyu Gong, and felt she had reached her limit. Her next step was to break through to the ninth level, however...

Even if Lianxing breaks through to the ninth level, she probably won't be a match for Yaoyue's eighth level. Once Yaoyue breaks through, it'll basically be a matter of knocking on the gates of heaven!

There is a gap in strength, and Lianxing's martial arts were all taught by Yaoyue, so Yaoyue naturally has a greater advantage.

However, Chu Luren saw that the two sisters were fighting, and judging from Lianxing's words... it was very likely because of him?

So Chu Luren dared to try to break up the fight, but unfortunately the difference in strength was too great. Even if Chu Luren used the Returning Void Force, he couldn't separate the two at all. In fact, after intervening, he was almost choked by Yaoyue several times.

Seeing that Chu Luren was in danger, Xiao Jiu Jiu couldn't stay out of it either, and quickly shouted, "Master! Don't hit big brother!"

Lianxing:? ? ?

Compared to the usual Murong Jiu, Xiao Jiu Jiu's words and actions still reflected a woman's habits, and... to make it more comfortable when she was doing something, she also removed the restraints on her chest.

Yaoyue sneered, wanting Lianxing to see the deer-man's "true colors," and focused on her ulterior motives. In a few moves, she captured her, twisted her arm behind her back, and said to Lianxing, "See! This is just one!"

"Master, you hurt me! And you still want to hit Big Brother? Then I... then I'll fight back!" Little Jiu Jiu was unhappy, but unexpectedly she pulled her hand away from Yao Yue's grasp.

At the same time, Yaoyue looked at her hand, which had just been holding Xiao Jiujiu's wrist, with some surprise. She saw that the transparent skin was now partially visible, but... it was completely grayish-brown, as if it had been petrified!

"Not bad." Yaoyue praised in a cold voice. Then, the palm part of the little light figure inside flickered for a moment before the skin returned to its transparent state.

Lianxing, having recovered from her surprise, said firmly, "Sister! You must face your own heart! Love is something you have to fight for, not something you can achieve by killing others!"

Inviting the Moon: ? ? ?

"Hehehe..." Yaoyue decided to first give her sister a good beating, then cripple Chu Luren... no, break both of his legs, and then explain this misunderstanding.

Just then, the sound of chanting scriptures arose from all directions, and even Yaoyue was slightly dazed for a moment. Then, Chu Luren struck Yaoyue with a palm—Buddha Asks the Monk!

However, Yaoyue's state of mind was clearly much higher than Chu Luren had imagined. The chanting of "Buddha Asks the Monk" could not sway her at all—what's wrong with me disciplining my sister, disciplining that scoundrel, and disciplining that lowly servant? Even Buddha can't control me!

At this moment, Chu Luren also discovered that Xiao Jiu Jiu's actual combat skills seemed to be even stronger than Murong Jiu's, and were already very close to Lian Xing's.

Even so, even with all three of them working together, they only slightly "suppressed" Yaoyue's sharpness, and it wasn't really related to "suppressing" her at all.

Of course, it's also related to the fact that none of the three fought desperately—Lianxing, needless to say, was "rebelling against her sister for her sister's sake," Xiao Jiujiu was also grateful to Yaoyue, but she couldn't bear to see her attack her "big brother," and Chu Luren...

I just found out that Yaoyue actually has such feelings for me?

Just because he "spoke out for justice" before?

So, all you have to do is yell at your cheating ex-boyfriend in front of her to gain her such goodwill?

If Lianxing hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have noticed...

Therefore, the people of Chulu cannot sit idly by!

……

Just then, Shen Qinghong, who had been waiting in the dilapidated temple in the distance, rushed over to see what was happening. Given the scale of the commotion, it would have been difficult for Shen Qinghong not to see it from afar.

Seeing the great battle before her, Shen Qinghong was completely dumbfounded—could it be that she had really been out of touch with the martial arts world for too long?

Are such masters easy to find these days?

The two "little luminous figures" exuded immense power with every move they made. Nan Murong was surrounded by a gray aura, and even after being blasted away by a palm and crashing into a tree, he was completely unharmed. A layer of gray appeared on the tree, as if it had been petrified...

There was also a golden-glowing high monk, whose whole body radiated Buddhist light, whose palm strikes carried a Zen-like quality that went straight to the heart, and whose chanting filled the ears!

At first, Shen Qinghong only recognized Nan Murong. Fortunately, Xiao Jiu Jiu was using her full strength at this time, and was able to bring out the true essence of the "Fossil Divine Skill" even more than the usual Murong Jiu, with full special effects. Therefore, Shen Qinghong did not pay attention to his figure, but only vaguely recognized him as Young Master Murong from his clothes.

Upon closer inspection, Shen Qinghong realized that the golden figure was not a high monk, but had hair... and was clearly Chu Luren!

Shen Qinghong was also a little puzzled—so Master Chu was a Buddhist master? Then how could he be called "Red and White Tai Sui"?

At this moment, sensing someone approaching, Yaoyue immediately took action to silence them...

Shen Qinghong doesn't recognize the special effects of the eighth level of "Mingyu Gong" now, but if it gets out in the martial arts world, it will eventually be exposed.

Today's events... Yaoyue is also very upset!

No matter how strong, cold, ruthless, or super-devilish she is, Yaoyue still feels that if today's events get out, she will be even more upset.

Compared to that, it's just silencing someone...

Despite being surrounded by three people, Yaoyue could retreat at will, directly extricating herself from the battle and arriving in front of Shen Qinghong in a flash.

"No!" Chu Luren shouted immediately.

When Shen Qinghong saw that the most imposing figure among them was actually heading straight for her, a chill ran through her heart...

Do not!

Not only in her heart, but Shen Qinghong felt a chill rise throughout her body, as if her blood was about to freeze and she was completely unable to move—the effect of the seventh level of the Mingyu Gong naturally meant that the eighth level could also be used.

"Sister, no!" Lianxing, who was closest, quickly struck out with her palm.

Lianxing wasn't without her killings in her life; after all, there were so many women in Yihua Palace, and it wasn't like no one dared to mess with her from the beginning.

However, Lianxing was truly unwilling, and Yaoyue killed someone to silence her—Lianxing didn't care about Shen Qinghong's life or death, but she didn't want Yaoyue's humanity to continue to disappear...

This is also the main reason why Lianxing does not want Yaoyue to "quit". The effect of sealing emotions and severing love in the Mingyu Gong has become more and more obvious after cultivating to the eighth or ninth level. It is both a requirement of the technique and an effect of the technique!

Seeing Lianxing strike first, sending Shen Qinghong flying through the air, Yaoyue couldn't help but glare at her angrily.

Clearly, this was a clever use of "shifting the flower to replace the jade" to push Shen Qinghong away. It looked like she was not knocked away very close, but in reality, the power was not great. Instead, it saved him!

It's one thing for her to be out of her mind, but Yaoyue couldn't accept Lianxing's repeated disobedience. With a cold "humph," she directly attacked Lianxing with heavy force.

But at that moment, Lianxing felt a slight sensation in her abdomen. Then she saw Chu Luren cross the distance of more than ten zhang at an even faster speed, actually blocking her way before Yaoyue could...

Chapter 525 Self-Deception

Seeing that Yaoyue was about to harm Lianxing because of him, Chu Luren, in a moment of panic, immediately used a transparent, soft silk cord to bind Lianxing, and then used the "Ascension Step" to instantly appear in front of Lianxing...

Yaoyue was also somewhat surprised to see this. Although she hadn't sprinted seriously, Chu Luren's skill was still enough to make her a step faster than herself. This lightness skill was quite impressive.

A few months ago, when they met at Mount Emei, Yaoyue only thought that Chu Luren's "Dao Embryo" was very strange, and that Chu Luren should have been using the "Three-Part Returning Origin Qi" which was stronger than two people!

However, Chu Luren's lightness skill surprised her once again, and even his preferred method had changed to a powerful Buddhist palm technique, which indeed surprised Yaoyue as well.

However, this surprise did not stop Yaoyue, and... when Chu Luren stood in front of Lianxing, Yaoyue had already struck out with her palm.

Inviting the Moon's palm strike, seemingly devoid of any harshness or killing intent, was instead incredibly beautiful, as if she were performing a song and dance while suspended by wires...

However, Lianxing knew that this was a move in the "Mingyu Gong" that also emphasized lethality—"Jade Beauty Playing the Flute".

Her older sister had never used this tactic when they were "sparring" or "bullying" her before...

Chu Luren only had time to stretch out his arms and raise his palms to unleash the move "Welcoming Buddha to the Western Heaven," but his palm strike against Yaoyue suddenly seemed exceptionally weak.

Moonlight shines down, Buddha's light retreats...

Although it wasn't directly "retaliated against," Chu Luren's palm strike, which seemed powerful, was like a queen inspecting an army when faced with Yaoyue's palm strike, which had the effect of "shifting flowers and replacing jade," and it was directly scattered to the left and right!

Lianxing then took the opportunity to push Chu Luren away—after all, Lianxing was confident that she could withstand Yaoyue's remaining strength, given Chu Luren's earlier exhaustion.

However, Chu Luren acted stubbornly at this moment, deliberately steadying himself. Before, at the bottom of the valley, it was due to poor coordination, but now this was definitely intentional!

Chu Luren, already exhausted, was struck by Yaoyue's palm.

Even though the self-circulating "Return to Nothingness Force" had dissipated some of the palm's force, the palm strike still severely injured Chu Luren...

"Chu Lang!" Lianxing exclaimed in surprise, hugging the heavily injured and exhausted Chu Luren from behind, her voice even becoming somewhat shrill.

Then Lianxing looked at her with a resentful gaze that Yaoyue had never seen before—back when Yaoyue pushed Lianxing off the tree, Lianxing's eyes also showed more fear than hatred.

"Alright... that's enough... stop it all." Chu Luren said with some difficulty.

I didn't think it would be this bad...

Moreover, in the short time it took to say a few words, Chu Luren felt that his injuries seemed to have become even more serious.

"Chu Lang... stop talking! The palm strike of 'Jade Beauty Playing the Flute' will be as continuous as the sound of a flute. Quickly circulate your internal energy to resist!" Lianxing said hurriedly.

“It’s alright…don’t…hold a grudge against your sister…” Chu Luren continued.

Although I don't know what's going on with Yaoyue, Lianxing has said that she likes me, so how could that be false?

Chu Luren isn't the kind of man who'll fall for whoever likes him, but he does have a common male flaw—he'll develop a strong inclination towards whoever likes him.

For example, Chu Luren didn't want Yaoyue to prematurely sever her love and affection because of him, and even... didn't want Yaoyue to break through to the ninth level like in the original work.

In the original work, after her breakthrough, Yaoyue was basically in a semi-mad state. Because Lianxing wanted to reveal the truth about the brothers killing each other, she killed Lianxing with one palm.

After her scheme failed, Yaoyue went completely mad. She picked up Lianxing's body and flew away, disappearing without a trace...

Perhaps it was to save Lianxing, perhaps it was because he couldn't accept that Lianxing was dead, or perhaps... he had completely gone mad.

"Yaoyue, you shouldn't either..." Chu Luren, taking advantage of his weakness, seemed to want to give Yaoyue some instructions.
