The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

After all, the Heavenly Gate of Qi has already been broken, and the original top small group of experts have become increasingly stronger.

"Master, I still think my father and Brother Jue are more capable than you. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now!" Guo Xiang said, then pretended to walk away as if nothing was wrong.

He had only taken two steps when Darba and Khodu reached out and stopped him...

Guo Xiang stuck out her tongue, then stepped back, thinking to herself: Sure enough, it's not that easy to fool her!

"Master Guo is very powerful, but not in martial arts. As for Alliance Leader Chu... hehe, little girl, watch closely!" Jinlun said as he stepped forward, seemingly wanting to have a match with Chu Luren.

Jinlun had studied Guo Juxia before.

In terms of martial arts, Jinlun was confident that he could easily surpass him, but Guo Juxia's "power" was not only in martial arts - he was the spiritual pillar of the Xiangyang heroes!

Jinlun studied his weaknesses and found him increasingly "formidable".

Jinlun surrendered to the Mongol Yuan dynasty for the position of Imperial Preceptor and to spread Tibetan Buddhism, while Guo Juxia received no real rewards from the Song court.

Jinlun was once baffled, not understanding what he was after, until he heard Guo Juxia's words: "The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people!"

Therefore, when rumors arose that the Song court suspected Guo Juxia, Jinlun was very happy, thinking that Guo Juxia would leave Xiangyang soon, and the heroes of Xiangyang would also disperse. The Song army alone would not be able to stop the Mongol cavalry.

In particular, there were also new mechanical catapults presented by the Hui people. These things were even more powerful than the Qing Dynasty's cannons, and the fall of Xiangyang was just around the corner.

however……

Guo Juxia did not leave!

This made Jinlun even more confused about Guo Juxia's weaknesses, so he had no choice but to capture his children to threaten him. But now... Jinlun has changed his mind, at least he doesn't want to use them only as a threat.

As for the Chu Lu people...

Jinlun felt that he had made great progress this year, and most of it was due to the opening of the Heavenly Gate of Qi. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is a method of cultivating both internal and external aspects, and it is even closer to Qi than to the body.

In comparison, Chu Luren's martial arts skills were superior in their comprehensiveness. Based on this calculation, the Golden Wheel Monk felt that Chu Luren's progress in martial arts was definitely not as good as his own.

"Alliance Leader Chu, shouldn't we refrain from meddling in the affairs of a married couple?" The Golden Wheel Monk adopted a stance of trying to get Chu Luren to remain neutral.

"Tibet has long been destroyed and its people have perished. Yet the Ming King still knows he wants to rebuild his empire. The Grand Preceptor can't even manage his own affairs, but he travels thousands of miles to fawn over the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. Compared to that, how can I be considered meddling?" Chu Luren said disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Wheel Monk's face darkened, and his body swelled up with a series of cracking sounds, becoming more than half again as tall as before. His once thin and frail appearance vanished, replaced by the robust physique of an ox! The "vinegar dish" that had been sunken on his forehead bulged high, resembling a small steamed bun…

This was a complete miscommunication. For the Golden Wheel Dharma King, what mattered was Tibetan Buddhism and Tantric Buddhism, not the Han Chinese sense of national identity.

Chu Luren also adopted the posture of "Tathagata Mudra," and under the Vajra Mudra, Chu Luren grew two sizes larger, as if he wanted to go head-to-head with the Golden Wheel Dharma King.

While cursing Kumārajīva inwardly, the Golden Wheel Monk dared not be careless. He clashed with Chu Luren's aura, and their fighting spirit and momentum rose higher and higher...

In such a tense atmosphere, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Dragon did not make a move for the time being, wanting to wait for Chu Luren and the Golden Wheel Monk to make the first move.

However, just as the two of them reached their peak, Chu Luren... with a "whoosh," changed his figure and rushed towards Guo Xiang who was standing to the side!

The Golden Wheel Monk, who had been focused on Chu Luren, suddenly lost sight of his target and felt a tightness in his chest.

This isn't about the cunning of the Chu people...

Logically speaking, when both sides are locked in a battle of wits and energy, it is impossible for them to suddenly "disappear." Otherwise, it would only cause their own energy to become disordered and their momentum to weaken, allowing the opponent to relentlessly pursue them and put them at a disadvantage. In a peak duel where both sides are evenly matched, this would have a huge impact!

However, Chu Luren not only possessed the "secret techniques of the Ninja Sect," seemingly locking onto and boosting the aura, but in reality, he had already secretly changed his target.

Moreover, with the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth and the Great Bright Scripture at his disposal, he was indifferent to the transformation of Yin and Yang, instantly returning to nothingness, leaving the Golden Wheel Monk's energy completely empty...

Meanwhile, the Chu Lu people had already taken back Guo Xiang—as for Huo Du and Darba, they hadn't even realized what was happening, so how could their instinctive attempts to stop them possibly work against the Chu Lu people?

Chu Luren moved like a ghost, grabbing Guo Xiang's shoulder before instantly retreating. The movement between forward and backward was seamless, as if defying inertia... This is the secret of the Sunflower Manual!

When Chu Luren returned to the Valley of Heartbreak to see everyone, he only left Guo Xiang behind before going forward again.

At this moment, the group from the Valley of Heartbreak was on the opposite side of the cliff, while the members of the Divine Dragon Cult were closest to the edge. Jinlun, Yin Kexi, and others were also on the cliff edge, but to the side. Chu Luren was in front of the group from the Valley of Heartbreak, facing the Divine Dragon Cult and the Mongol experts on the cliff alone...

Chu Luren spread his arms wide and pushed out with both palms, as if he wanted to encompass everyone in front of him.

Chapter 918 The Boundless Ocean

On Broken Heart Cliff, Chu Luren faced the experts from the Divine Dragon Sect and the Mongol Yuan alone, spreading his arms wide and pushing out his palms horizontally—as if shouting: I will fight ten of them!

The Golden Wheel Monk wasn't in a hurry, after all, what's the use of making a big show of it?

Neither I, nor the Holy Maiden of the Divine Dragon, nor even Yin Kexi are considered weaklings. You think your dispersed palm strike can threaten us? It's probably just a gust of wind…

However, in the next moment, a "storm" struck!

"Eat my vast, boundless sea!" Chu Luren shouted in his heart.

After experiencing danger overseas, Chu Luren tried to imitate the power of a storm at sea.

However, even though Chu Luren had personally experienced and come into contact with it, and had gained some of its essence, he was still lacking in terms of hardware—he didn't have that much output!

However, during Chu Luren's injury, his internal energy was scattered and difficult to gather, which gave Chu Luren other ideas. He took a different approach and developed this move, "Boundless Ocean".

The ultimate techniques of "spiritual rebirth" and the ultimate mental techniques of "following the laws of heaven and earth" also gave Chu Luren some inspiration...

Now, Chu Luren is releasing his inner energy in a disorderly manner, mimicking the power of the storm he encountered at sea.

Chu Luren knew martial arts, more than he himself knew. When he unleashed the power of the "Chaos Technique," it would randomly transform into a dragon turtle palm, a sunflower needle, an empty fist, or a solitary sword...

It subtly echoes the "madness" of a raging storm!

At the same time, the chaotic energy released was just a trigger, and coupled with Chu Luren's already powerful recovery effect, although the consumption was not small, it could still be maintained at a considerable level!

Faced with Chu Luren's "Boundless Ocean", the experts from the Divine Dragon Sect and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty were also in a state of panic - it was not only the force of the wind, but also a variety of martial arts mixed in, as if countless martial arts blind boxes were being slapped on their faces.

Apart from the Golden Wheel Monk, the Divine Dragon Saintess, and Yin Kexi, everyone else was blown around and swayed, with some unable to maintain their balance!

There were no weaklings present; they were at least third-rate. It wouldn't be difficult for them to maintain their balance in the strong wind, but once their stance was broken by the force of the "wind," they would stagger backward, or even be blown away and fall off the cliff!

Trying to dodge it is even more impractical—there are cliffs all around, and using light footwork would only make it harder to maintain one's footing.

All the onlookers saw was Chu Luren thrust out a palm, and instantly countless forces burst forth, actually "blowing" the two masters about to fall off the cliff!

Of course, Chu Luren's move was only for clearing out multiple enemies. Not only was the range difficult to control, but it also made it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. This is why Chu Luren was willing to use a trick and lose face in order to rescue Guo Xiang.

Moreover, its power is gradual, just like a storm at sea; although it is "rapid," there is always a process of increasing intensity.

The chaotic energy emanating from Chu Luren also has some of the characteristics of "spiritual rebirth" and "law of heaven and earth". It will expand on its own and evolve in a disorderly manner, so it will become stronger and stronger. In other words, the actual effect is higher than Chu Luren's output.

If it weren't for the unique terrain here, the other party would definitely have scattered and fled.

Of course, since the energy is scattered and not concentrated, its effect on a single target is definitely not as good as Chu Luren's personal action.

So now... apart from the Golden Wheel Monk remaining unmoved, even Yin Kexi has raised his jeweled golden dragon whip, inlaid with various gems, to bravely face the storm of Chu Luren!

Even if Jinlun himself was not affected, he still had to take care of his two disciples, so for a time he could only passively defend himself.

Meanwhile, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Dragon sat half-sitting at the front of the many disciples of the Divine Dragon Sect, plucking the strings of her zither. Behind her, a dozen or so white-robed disciples were also in twos and threes, with their palms interlaced against their backs, and finally two of them against the Holy Maiden, clearly channeling their inner energy into her!

Normally, this kind of internal energy infusion is only used for group internal energy battles. After all, people are not dry batteries; they can't be connected together and used together.

However, judging from the way the Holy Maiden of the Divine Dragon Sect is doing, it seems that she can use the true energy poured into her by the disciples behind her to help her play the "Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon".

Although Chu Luren did not understand the reason, he thought that the martial arts of the Divine Dragon Sect could use certain methods to pass on most of the power of the previous Holy Maiden to the successor. It can be seen that the Divine Dragon Sect's martial arts should attach great importance to the "same origin" aspect.

Because Chu Luren's rolling palm winds were mixed with various forces, the zither music, coming against the wind, sounded muffled and indistinct to the people in the Valley of Heartbreak, and had almost no effect.

However, the saintess's music kept Chu Luren's "Boundless Ocean" several feet away!

Moreover, the dozen or so people seemed to be one, unlike the other unlucky ones from the Mongol Yuan dynasty who were blown away.

"Help me! Help me! If that wicked woman takes control of the Valley of Heartbreak, she will definitely make things difficult for those of you who have colluded with me!" Gongsun Zhi no longer cared about the injury to his eye. He was brandishing his sword and knife, and his steps were occasionally slipping backward.

It looked like a battle against several unseen enemies in a raging storm...

If the Divine Dragon Saintess hadn't just released his pressure points, he probably would have already fallen.

The Golden Wheel Monk ignored him at this moment—many of his own followers had already fallen... After all, he was simple-minded and not good at protecting people; he could only manage to protect two of his personal disciples.

The Holy Maiden of the Divine Dragon glared at him, then slammed her hand on the Heavenly Demon Harp in front of her!

The Heavenly Demon Harp had just taken flight and was spinning rapidly, yet the music remained perfectly pleasing—a technique similar to Chu Luren's "sound retention." However, while Chu Luren could use sonic techniques to project his voice in all directions, the Divine Dragon Saintess was reserving her sound within the harp itself.

The Heavenly Demon Harp took flight, its self-flowing sound waves still protecting the disciples of the Divine Dragon Sect. She herself swept towards Gongsun Zhi, not flying into the air, but instead floating in the "Boundless Ocean" in her white robes, as if dancing. Upon getting close, she casually grabbed Gongsun Zhi.

Then, with a flick of her sleeve, the Divine Dragon Saintess used her white sleeve to stop the Heavenly Demon Harp that was playing, and at the same time shouted, "Rise!"

The disciples of the Divine Dragon Sect continued to exert force by pressing their palms together, and then, under the cover of the "Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon," they leaped out and, together with the Holy Maiden, barely managed to fly away from the range of the "Boundless Ocean."

However, as a result, not only were some people injured, but their breathing was also unstable. As soon as they landed, they all collapsed and were immediately blocked by the golden fishing net formation.

but……

"Make way, and I will return Valley Master Gongsun to you!" the Divine Dragon Saintess said coldly.

As he spoke, he snatched Gongsun Zhi's weapon and held it to his neck.

As expected, Fan Yiweng and the others immediately hesitated...

"No! Take me with you!" Gongsun Zhi shouted hurriedly.

"Release the fishing net formation!" the Divine Dragon Saintess shouted.

Qiu Qianchi then spoke up, "Let them go! Leave that old beast here!"

Chapter 919 Shameless

In the end, the members of the Divine Dragon Cult left unscathed, while only four members of the Mongol Yuan side left the Valley of Heartbreak—the others, including the caravan led by Yin Kexi outside, were all torn to pieces by the "Golden Net Formation," and incidentally... a number of gems were also obtained.

As for the four who left, they were naturally Jinlun Fawang, Yinkexi, and Jinlun Fawang's two personal disciples, Darba and Huodu.

The Chu Lu people's "Boundless Ocean" technique, after all, had its power dispersed and was indeed ineffective against them...

Although he achieved such a feat in special terrain, in the end, the Golden Wheel Dharma King had made up his mind to jump down on his own initiative!

Previously, the Golden Wheel Monk did not want to gamble on whether Chu Luren could recover his energy quickly.

If Chu Luren hadn't pursued him, even if the Golden Wheel Monk wasn't known for his lightness skills, he could have easily survived the fall. Even if the cliff was a thousand feet high, he could have maintained his energy and, while holding onto two people, managed to stay afloat for several hundred feet!

Given the terrain of the Valley of Heartbreak, it probably wouldn't be any higher...

However, if Chu Luren catches up and strikes with a palm, preventing him from gathering his energy, then he will most likely suffer the same fate as Wu Yazi.

Actually...

After using "Boundless Ocean," Chu Luren was indeed unable to recover his energy quickly and always needed to calm his internal energy slightly.

Therefore, after Chu Luren realized the Golden Wheel Monk's idea, he stopped saying "Boundless Ocean" and pretended that he still had energy left.
