The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Chu Luren pretended that the Six Meridians Sword Formation was too fancy and that he couldn't intervene, while at the same time guarding the Mirror Platform, trying to find a suspicious and strong passerby to come out.

Actually, quite a few people have taken action now. After all, the eldest brother is just a father and son, while Murong Jiu's side... also has his sister and brother-in-law!

Although not everyone was present, there were many experts and scions of martial arts families among them.

With their mutual entanglements, they formed a considerable force. However, the Righteous Alliance was not just watching the show. When they saw Wang Yuyan take action, her cousins ​​and cousins-in-law even condemned her for helping outsiders.

Fortunately, Wang Yuyan didn't confront these people, but instead... set her sights on Shangguan Haitang, who wanted to make a move!

Regardless, Murong Fu is now a member of the court, and Shangguan Haitang cannot stand by and watch him besieged. However, in terms of martial arts, she really cannot do anything to Wang Yuyan unless she uses those extremely powerful hidden weapons. But seeing Wang Yuyan's graceful appearance, she did not use any heavy weapons. How could she possibly use those weapons?

Among the sons-in-law of the Murong family, the third son-in-law, Qin Jian, is a famous swordsman from Guangdong and Guangxi. He is not from a martial arts family or a disciple of a famous sect, but he is the strongest in terms of martial arts.

But in terms of skill, he was just so-so. He defeated Lin Pingzhi in fifty or sixty moves, but was then suppressed by Linghu Chong who suddenly made a move...

If Chu Luren grabbed a passerby of this caliber and beat him up, it wouldn't take long to delay him. Just then, he actually made a discovery!

Murong Bo and Yuanshan fought as they retreated towards the courtyard wall. Yuanshan, seeing his enemy, was filled with hatred and didn't suspect anything.

However, Chu Luren discovered that there was a person hiding behind the wall who not only perfectly concealed his aura, but also possessed a restrained yet extremely powerful presence!

He looked vaguely familiar, but it was impossible to tell for sure through the wall—whoever it was, he had arrived just in time for Chu Luren!

"Watch out, someone might be lying in ambush!" Chu Luren shouted.

He didn't say who this person was ambushing, nor did he care which one it was—in fact, judging from the situation, it was most likely an accomplice of the cunning Murong Bo, but Chu Luren didn't say it outright. Anyway, I just can't stand his sneak attacks, and I can't stand whoever he ambushes…

As he spoke, Chu Luren swept out with his palm, directly knocking down a red wall. He discovered that the person squatting behind the wall was indeed... it's true that enemies are destined to meet!

He was the leader of the Four Spirits who had injured Lianxing and fought Chu Luren several times.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the Four Spirits couldn't help but curse: "You little bastard, are your lovers still alive? Why don't you go and meddle in your grandpa's business while it's still hot!"

He had originally planned to launch a surprise attack and give Yuanshan a hard time—indeed, he had a secret agreement with Murong Bo.

Upon seeing this fiend, Chu Luren's heart was filled with murderous intent!

This guy is one of the few "enemies" of Chu Luren – after all, Chu Luren is broad-minded and wouldn't be labeled an enemy over trivial matters.

Moreover, this person has fought with Chu Luren many times. When they first met, he was far superior to Chu Luren, but now their martial arts skills are only about equal. He is also deeply restrained by the "Buddha's Seal Technique"!

The two clashed, causing another earth-shattering attack...

The martial arts practitioners present were astonished to see yet another expert appear out of nowhere.

Such masters are rarely seen even by one person in the past, worthy of the name of martial arts legend and Jianghu myth. Today, not only are the known ones gathered together, but there are also unknown, unexpected, and resurrected ones... all of them have rushed together and jumped out one by one!

Chapter 789 Ren the Madman

"Qin Laosi! How dare you ambush me?"

"Snakes? Someone's set up a snake trap! Be careful!"

"It must have been that stinking beggar who hid the snake in the sack!"

"Bullshit! Didn't you see it's from White Camel Mountain Manor?"

"Our own people, our own people..."

"Why bother with chivalry and honor when you're dealing with these evil heretics?"

"Brothers of the Righteous Alliance, grab your weapons and take him down!"

"It's tung oil! I brought tung oil with me!"

"Tell me! What's the next line after 'Heaven and Earth possess righteous energy'?"

Seeing that a chaotic battle was about to break out in front of the Great Buddha Hall of Shaolin Temple, Xuan Nan hurriedly ordered the monks to surround the section from the mountain gate to the Great Buddha Hall. Regardless of the peerless masters, at least the others must not be allowed to disperse...

Who is shouting that they brought tung oil?

You came here just to burn down the temple in the chaos, didn't you?

Seeing this, Fang Zheng quickly chanted a Buddhist prayer in apology, then leaped onto the roof of the Great Buddha Hall and unleashed the Vajra Zen Lion's Roar, shouting, "Everyone, please cease your fighting for now! Members of the Righteous Alliance and the Murong Family, please give Shaolin some face and wait for the leaders of all sides to settle their differences..."

Just as Fang Zheng was speaking, a sudden change occurred. It turned out that there was an ambush in the Great Buddha Hall. Suddenly, the tiles behind Fang Zheng shot up into the sky, and a gray-robed man rushed up with lightning speed, grabbing Fang Zheng's lower back and the Dazhui acupoint on the back of his neck with one hand, and lifted him up!

Fang Zheng was also wronged. He was exhaling and making a sound in front of the square when suddenly two of his major acupoints were sealed. Moreover, the opponent not only gripped him extremely tightly, but his ten fingers had already dug into his flesh and bones. Furthermore, a series of suction forces came from his palms, causing Fang Zheng's internal energy to dissipate and his entire body to lose all strength. He was subdued without any power to resist.

but……

There's a silver lining to every mistake!

Fang Zheng's original "Vajra Zen Lion's Roar" was quite impressive, but few people actually listened to his advice.

However, the sudden turn of events, with the abbot of the Northern Shaolin Temple being captured, immediately drew the attention of the crowd in the square in front of the Great Buddha Hall, and the fighting subsided considerably...

"Stop! Don't be so violent!"

"Who goes there? Don't harm the abbot!"

The eminent monks from both the Northern and Southern Shaolin Temples roared angrily.

At the same time, many people noticed Fang Zheng's unusual condition, which seemed to be...

"The Absorption Technique! It must be the Absorption Technique!"

"Why is the Iron-Blooded Marquis hiding his true identity?"

"Brothers, be careful! The area below the mountain is completely surrounded by the Dragon Guard Manor!"

……

With the quickest-thinking Boss Wu shouting "Absorption Technique," the righteous warriors present all began to unleash their skills.

Shangguan Haitang was so angry she was about to vomit blood—what a load of rubbish, this person may be masked, but just by looking at his figure, he's definitely not her godfather, okay?

And do you understand the difference between the "Absorbing Power Technique" and the "Star Absorbing Technique"?

Thanks to anonymous passersby and a certain martial arts group, the fact that Iron-Blooded Marquis was practicing the "Absorption Technique"—a fact that was not exactly a secret—has become common knowledge in the martial arts world.

Now that the righteous people are making such a fuss, it really has an effect. But just then, the person on the roof shook his head, and the scarf covering his face fell off. It turned out to be a burly man with gray hair and beard, a face full of fat, and a pale face like a dead man with a square face!

At first glance, it's obvious that it's not Zhao Tiedan, but... there aren't many people who recognize him.

It wasn't until Tong Baixiong solemnly demanded, "Ren Woxing? What do you want to do?" that everyone realized who this person was!

Although he has been out of the martial arts world for more than a decade and few people recognize him in person, the name Ren Woxing is still known to everyone.

Ren Woxing did not answer, but continued to absorb Fang Zheng's internal energy!

Upon seeing this, Kongwen and Kongxing leaped onto the roof. Kongwen swung his staff and struck, while Kongxing formed claws with both hands and reached out to grab Ren Woxing.

"Hahaha……"

Ren Woxing laughed wildly as he used Fangzheng to sweep Kongwen's staff. Kongwen quickly withdrew eight-tenths of his strength. Not only was Kongwen affected by the backlash, but Ren Woxing was also really putting in a lot of effort. Fangzheng was also not in good shape when he was hit by the staff!

Then he quickly swung it back to block Kongxing's dragon claw hand, leaving Kongxing helpless for a moment.

Ren Woxing used Fang Zheng as a weapon, laughing wildly as he hurled it at Kong Wen and Kong Xing...

Unlike Kumārajīva, who appeared normal, Ren Woxing was clearly more severely mad at this moment. His eyes glowed red, and he looked at everyone with murderous intent. It was unclear why he had come here.

Meanwhile, Kumārajīva, who was locked in combat with Duan Yu, saw Ren Woxing's actions and couldn't help but curse inwardly!

Then, Kumārajīva moved his lips imperceptibly, and at the same time, Ren Woxing was stunned, while Kongwen and Kongxing did not dare to step forward.

Ren Woxing shouted and slammed Fang Zheng violently towards the group from Dali...

"Ah! Prince Duan..." Kong Wen cried out for help upon seeing this.

Duan Zhengchun had already made his move when he spoke; otherwise, he wouldn't have had time to react.

The Duan family of Dali has always considered themselves righteous in the martial arts world, and they have a deep connection with Buddhism for generations. Naturally, they would not watch Fang Zheng be thrown to his death in front of them.

Even though Ba Tianshi and Hua Hegen both used their palms to block Duan Zhengchun's attack from behind, the result was still the same: all three of them fell backward, crashing into each other...

However, thanks to this buffer, Fang Zheng fell to the ground, and although the sound indicated broken bones, it was not life-threatening.

However, after Ren Woxing threw Fang Zheng, he paused for a moment and then followed closely behind. He didn't care about Fang Zheng at all, but instead attacked Duan Zhengchun!

"Your Highness, be careful!" Hua Hegen and Ba Tianshi were still recovering from the impact.

Before Li Qingluo and the others could even cry out in alarm, Ren Woxing had already struck Duan Zhengchun with a palm...

Duan Zhengchun watched helplessly as Ren Woxing struck him on the chest with a palm. His mind was racing, with twenty or thirty faces flashing before his eyes—some were confidantes, some were fleeting encounters, and some were strangers he had forgotten in the martial world…

"Father!" Duan Yu's mind was in turmoil.

However, the next moment, Duan Zhengchun felt himself floating up and down. Ren Woxing's palm struck his chest, and although his blood and qi surged, he did not experience the internal organs rupture that he had imagined.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a Tai Chi phantom appear. Duan Zhengchun was at the yin eye of the yang fish, while Zhang Wuji was at the yang eye of the yin fish. Duan Zhengchun was sent flying by a palm strike. At the same time, Zhang Wuji, who was behind Ren Woxing, also approached Ren Woxing along with the Tai Chi diagram!

Taking advantage of Duan Yu's mental confusion, Kumārajīva swept a flaming blade with a benevolent expression. Duan Yu was immediately thrown into a panic, hastily drawing his sword to protect himself while simultaneously using his most agile Shaochong sword to launch a diversionary attack...

At this moment, Kumārajīva's face became even more solemn and dignified. Under the radiant golden light emanating from his body, he barely managed to withstand the slash from the light blue short sword-shaped Shaochong sword on his back, leaving only faint bloodstains. At the same time, he grabbed the purple heavy sword-shaped Zhongchong sword and unleashed the "Great Monument-Smashing Hand" move, smashing it against the bluish-brown, ancient broadsword-shaped Guanchong sword. Both of them shattered instantly!

Duan Yu was also subtly affected by the backlash; not only was his formation broken, but the other four swords also became unstable.

This Six Meridians Sword is not only true qi, but also... it is the "force" of the Six Meridians Divine Sword condensed to a near-tangible level - a product of "cultivating skill into force" at an extremely high level!

Duan Yu could only maintain one of the six meridians of sword energy in each of the six corresponding meridians, and he was unable to re-condense it in the short term...

Duan Yu, who already lacked combat experience, lost his composure as soon as he was in trouble. However, seeing his "Brother Zeng" whom he had met before come to his rescue and save his father, Duan Yu felt reassured.

Chapter 790 Murong Martial Arts

On the other hand, when Zhang Wuji fought Ren Woxing, he hardly took the fight seriously. After only a few exchanges, Ren Woxing grabbed Zhang Wuji's shoulder blades. However, when Ren Woxing used the "Star Absorbing Technique," he felt that the young man in front of him was empty and he could not absorb anything. Instead, Zhang Wuji shook his shoulders, and a shock force easily emanated from his shoulder blades, which were normally unable to exert force, and shook Ren Woxing's hands away!

Even Zhang Wuji was able to get distracted by the "Duan-Ma Brothers" and discover their current predicament...

After Kumārajīva shattered the Shangyang sword with a single palm strike, just as he was about to deliver another powerful blow, Zhang Wuji channeled his energy and flung Ren Woxing away.

When Kumārajīva saw Ren Woxing flying towards him, he abandoned his pursuit of Duan Yu and instead caught Ren Woxing.

Zhang Wuji then stepped forward and asked, "Would it be alright for the two of you to stop here?"

Ren Woxing remained silent, his face displaying an expression akin to that of a wild beast, causing Zhang Wuji to frown and sense that something was amiss with this guy.

Kumārajīva said with a face full of emotion, "This humble monk has a deep friendship with Elder Murong, so how can I stand idly by today? If Young Master Zhang wants to take action, this humble monk will have no choice but to accompany him."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but sigh, then whispered to Duan Yu, "Brother Duan, you deal with this... Elder Ren, I'll spar with the Imperial Preceptor!"

Duan Yu nodded—at this moment, only three of the Six Meridians Sword Force remained, but… dealing with Ren Woxing, who was slightly weaker than Kumārajīva, shouldn’t be a problem.
