The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Even more critically, Chu Luren also noticed that someone was approaching from outside!

It was still quite a distance, but this person's agility was also quite superb. If it weren't for avoiding Su Ying's warning mechanisms, Chu Luren probably wouldn't have been able to spot him for at least fifty feet...

Well, the fact that he was only discovered by Chu Luren after reaching fifty feet already shows that his movement technique is quite advanced!

This man was quite agile and familiar with mechanisms, but... he still accidentally triggered one as he approached the hut. Su Ying reacted immediately, kicking Chu Luren's chair and sending him to the bedside. She then used her palm to knock him onto the bed, rolled him up in the blanket, and drew the curtains.

Although his martial arts skills were mediocre, he could easily handle a burly man who had fainted.

Just then, the people outside arrived at the door.

Chu Luren peered through the gauze curtain from inside the quilt, observing the outside world...

The person who sneaked in behaved very awkwardly. Although he had sneaked all the way to the outside, he stood casually at the door and did not walk in directly. He was obviously waiting for Su Ying to see him.

In this way, Su Ying no longer needs to pretend that she hasn't noticed him.

This man was thin and bony, dressed in hemp clothing and a tall hat. He had high cheekbones, a nose like a vulture, and his gaze was full of cold arrogance.

"You're back?" Su Ying was taken aback when she saw this person, then smiled sweetly.

However, knowing Su Ying's personality, Chu Luren secretly concluded that she was "acting" for him.

"I never expected to come back?" the old man in hemp clothing said arrogantly.

“That’s right. It’s been four years since you and the old man had your falling out and fought. I haven’t heard from you for four years and three months,” Su Ying said with a sigh.

"You still remember me?"

To Chu Luren, the old man's tone sounded like that of a teenager with delusions of grandeur facing a girl he secretly admires, yet it carried a strange air of arrogance.

"How could I forget you? You've always been so good to me," Su Ying said, bowing her head.

The old man, as if his tail had been stepped on, retorted, "Who said I'm nice to you? I've never been nice to anyone in the whole world!"

Chu Luren: ...

Chu Luren didn't know what he was so proud of.

The old man quickly calmed down and said, "That's right, I did it for you too... I can't stand that he's already halfway to the ground, yet he still... still treats you like his own possession. He'll go crazy if anyone else even glances at you!" As he spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

Chu Luren glanced at Su Ying, who he estimated to be eighteen or nineteen years old, and then calculated back four years...

Yeah, this guy really is a pervert, right?

Chapter 977 Simp

"These past few years, the old man has been sending his henchmen of demons and monsters to search for you everywhere, but now... you've come back on your own."

The old man had obviously known Su Ying for a long time. Su Ying did not guide him or act as if she hated Wei Wuya very much, but she was not very respectful either.

As for the so-called "little brothers of demons and monsters," they naturally refer to other astrological signs.

The disciples of Wuya were helpless against this "old youth," and among the twelve constellations, apart from the Dragon Constellation who disregarded Wei Wuya, there were few who could do anything to this "old youth."

After all, he was Wei Wuya's eldest disciple, and the only one among all of Wuya's disciples who could be considered to have received Wei Wuya's true teachings—Wei Mayi!

Perhaps sensing Su Ying's slight worry, Wei Mayi was greatly provoked and retorted defiantly, "I can come and go as I please, who can stop me?"

“That’s right, even the old man was a little unsure about you. After you left, he often said that although he had taken in many disciples in his life, you were the only one who truly received his teachings.” Su Ying said, holding his hands.

Wei Mayi sneered: "Heh, do you think he taught me my kung fu? Humph! Who doesn't know that Wei Wuyuan is selfish, demanding, and cruel? He takes in so many disciples just to use free servants! When has he ever taught anyone real kung fu? He only taught me a few basic skills, and now he expects me to risk my life for him!"

Wei Mayi then explained, "I learned my skills little by little by stealing them! While he was practicing, I secretly watched and learned from him. Little by little, I accumulated what I have today!"

Su Ying seemed to sigh, "He is indeed not good to his disciples, but to you..." Su Ying didn't finish her sentence, but instead asked, "Why do you want to come back now? His underlings can't do anything to you, but you are still no match for the old man."

Upon hearing this, Wei Mayi's face stiffened, and she quickly forced herself to say, "I... I just wanted to come back and take a look."

Su Ying's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "You came back because you wanted to see me, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Mayi's expression changed, and she angrily retorted, "Now I know that you are a heartless and ungrateful person... No matter how good others are to you, you will neither take it to heart nor be grateful!"

In Chu Luren's eyes, Wei Mayi was shouting: I will no longer be a simp!

But just then, perhaps sensing Chu Luren's inner mockery, Wei Mayi noticed something amiss with Su Ying's bed. His eyes immediately filled with bloodshot as he exclaimed, "Who...who's in your bed? I never imagined you'd be so bold! You...you..."

Upon hearing this, Su Ying neither explained nor panicked, but instead smiled and said, "Ah! You still care after all!"

"Shut up! You vicious woman with a heart of stone!" Wei Mayi shouted.

Chu Luren secretly sneered in his heart: "So this is a江湖人士 (jianghu person)... Can't even bring himself to call her a 'whore'? Isn't it just that he can't bear to part with her?"

Su Ying seemed very aggrieved, and lowered her head, murmuring, "Am I... am I really that kind of person?"

Wei Mayi snorted coldly, but Chu Luren didn't need to open his eyes to notice that he was secretly observing Su Ying, clearly showing that he cared a lot about her.

Immediately, Wei Mayi looked at Su Ying, who had her head down, and burst into laughter...

"What are you laughing at?" Su Ying looked up and blinked.

The man in hemp clothing abruptly stopped laughing and said, word by word, "To tell you the truth, I gave up on you a long time ago!"

It basically means – unless you give me more incentives, I won't lick it anymore!

"Who I sleep with is none of your business," Su Ying asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"You...you like him? How dare you..." Wei Mayi demonstrated the last struggle of a simp.

"What exactly are you here for? To inform on someone?" Su Ying asked, taking a step forward.

After all, even Chu Luren had already seen through this sycophant, so Su Ying naturally felt even more confident.

“I… I naturally wouldn’t stoop to informing, but you have to tell me what that old guy has set up on Turtle Mountain?” Wei Mayi forced himself to ask.

However, even Chu Luren could tell that what he cared about more was not what he wanted to ask...

"If I don't tell you, will you kill the person I love?" Su Ying said with a charming smile.

Chu Luren secretly scoffed, thinking: You little brat, you want to use someone else to do your dirty work? But if this sycophant really tries to bite me, he'll just expose himself for no reason!

The moon on the roof almost turned into a deliveryman, packing up the "small packages" below.

But just then...

A mysterious and profound sensation emanated from not far away, and those present even faintly felt an earthquake!

Of course, Su Ying and Wei Mai only felt a slight earthquake.

Only Chu Luren, Yaoyue, and Lianxing vaguely sensed that mysterious and profound artistic conception.

Chu Luren and Yaoyue, in particular, both narrowed their eyes slightly in unison...

Lianxing could only sense that the "gate of art" had been opened, while Chu Luren and Yaoyue sensed a series of sharp sword energies!

Judging from the magnitude of the earthquake, it should still be several hundred miles away, but the sharp sword energy was still coming, causing a faint stinging sensation between my brows, and I instinctively wanted to squint my eyes...

Has the Heavenly Gate of Technique been breached?

Sword energy...

Who?

Both Chu Luren and Yaoyue had many thoughts running through their minds.

Just then, Chu Luren and Yaoyue also noticed that more people were approaching, and there were more than one or two of them.

Therefore, Chu Luren was not in a hurry to expose himself...

"It seems that old bastard has done too many bad things and damaged his karma, so his lair is also in turmoil!" Wei Mayi sensed something was wrong and emboldened himself by saying that the small earthquake was Wei Wuya's retribution.

“That’s right, he’ll get his comeuppance sooner or later, so why bother provoking him?” Su Ying said, feigning concern for Wei Mayi, and took two more steps forward.

"Stop! Don't try to fool me! You just want to save your lover..." Wei Mayi's voice was already hoarse.

"Yes, I want to save him, so... what do you want me to do?" Su Ying had already reached Wei Mayi and reached out to put her arms around his neck.

On her hand, a ring glittered—Chu Luren, Yaoyue, and Lianxing had all realized that if the poison needle on the ring were to pierce Wei Mayi's skin even slightly, he would be doomed.

But just then, a sinister laugh rang out: "Hehehe, little girl, you've got some ruthless thoughts. You're willing to kill the one standing here just for the one in bed?"

Wei Mayi was startled by the voice and quickly pushed Su Ying away.

Chu Luren, Yaoyue, and Lianxing were not surprised at all, and even Su Ying was not alarmed. She had noticed someone approaching through the mechanism—Wei Mayi naturally did not notice. The wooden decoration of the drinking bird on the water vat had just begun to move much faster.

That's why Su Ying wanted to deal with Wei Mayi first...

"Who's playing tricks?" Wei Mayi asked warily.

"Playing tricks? Why are you playing tricks on me? If you can't get the girl, are you going to play tricks on me?"

The opponent made a sound with a very eerie sonic effect, and at the same time, a white shadow floated in...

Chapter 978 The Great Villain

"Playing tricks? Why are you messing with me? Hehehe... You can't get the girl, so you're messing with me?"

The white figure's voice was hoarse and eerie. When it drifted in, it was like a white shadow, landing directly on the roof beam. Using visual illusion, it appeared to appear and disappear intermittently.

"Ninth Brother, I don't care if he tries to harm you, but you can't hurt him. He doesn't have much meat to begin with, and besides, people are different from pigs; you absolutely mustn't bleed him before killing him..."

A burly man, exuding a fierce aura, walked in carrying a boning knife.

"Hehehe, Brother Li, that's a bit of a misconception. Maybe it would taste even better with a milk filling?"

Another woman, wearing a black veil but still exuding a captivating charm and alluring makeup, followed closely behind, immediately steering the conversation in a rather vulgar direction.

Several more people followed in, one of whom was the leader. He was tall and thin, with both hands inside his sleeves. However, it was vaguely visible that his right hand had no palm, but was replaced by an iron hook!

There was also a smiling monk, half-exposed, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan; and at the very back, a man who looked like a scoundrel was smoking a snuff bottle...

Wei Mayi's teeth were chattering, clearly she recognized these people!

"You, you are Yin Jiuyou? You are Tu Jiaojiao, you are... Blood Hand Du Sha? You, you are here?" Wei Mayi couldn't muster any courage.

In fact, given his martial arts skills, if he were to face these people alone, apart from Du Sha, none of the others might be able to do anything to him.

Even if he encounters Du Sha, he is not unable to escape.

Firstly, we are outnumbered by the enemy, and secondly... the Ten Great Villains are different from ordinary enemies. Just encountering them and thinking about how we will be treated is enough to make us tremble with fear.

A battle that could have been won can be lost if you scare yourself too much, let alone now that there are six of you together...

Huh? There should only be five major villains in the Valley of Villains, right?
