The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

I'm not afraid of them. The difference between the twelve constellations is quite large. If we don't count the old monster Dragon Constellation or the most difficult Wei Wuyuan, the average strength of the other ten constellations is about the same as that of the Ten Villains.

Bai Shanjun's combat strength is second only to Wei Wuya among the current twelve constellations, at least on par with Xue Shou Du Sha, and even stronger than Li Dazui and Bai Kaixin.

Moreover, Lord Baishan is no saint. As a professional bandit, he has blood on his hands and cannot be intimidated by eating human flesh.

But at this juncture, the arrival of the Ten Villains, for reasons unknown and in countless numbers, inevitably makes him uneasy.

"Not bad, not bad, this is indeed the cook. As for this gentleman, he is Bai Shanjun's relative, Bai Kaixin. We happened to be visiting Mr. Wei when we saw Su Yatou and her sweetheart in bed at the foot of the mountain... This young lady is inevitably shy, so we shamelessly came to help her find a husband!" Li Dazui said, always eager for a good show.

Bai Shanjun looked at Su Ying in surprise—from what he knew, if Boss Wei knew that Su Ying had someone she liked, he would definitely capture her and torture her to death!

If it were discovered in bed, then Su Ying would probably be tortured to death along with it...

Moreover... Bai Shanjun naturally knows Su Ying. This woman has an iron heart. She's practically a little monster raised by an old monster. How could she possibly have someone she likes?

With Li Dazui and Bai Kaixin here, Bai Shanjun can guess that there must be a conspiracy involved!

"Oh? In that case, Niece Su, come here first!" Bai Shanjun said, reaching out to grab Su Ying.

However, Li Dazui raised his boning knife to block Bai Shanjun. Bai Shanjun was already on guard, and with a "whoosh," an iron claw shot out from his sleeve, covering his right hand. The force of the collision between the claw and the knife was overwhelming...

Chapter 982 Ambush

Behind them were the two villains, Bai Shan Jun and Meng Hu Yong Dou, their force sweeping against the stone wall, causing a few stone fragments to fall...

Amidst a commotion and shouts, Su Ying slipped away!

Although carrying Chu Luren on his back, he moved with incredible speed, bypassing the battle, opening the stone gate mechanism, and rushing inside.

"Thank you so much, Brother Bai, for holding them off for me!" Su Ying shouted as she ran in.

Bai Shanjun called her niece, but she called him "brother"...

Seeing how fast Su Ying moved, Bai Shanjun and the two villains were slightly surprised. Even though the two villains had only known Su Ying for a short time, they had not noticed from their previous observations that Su Ying was hiding her true strength.

Of course, it wasn't actually Su Ying pretending to be weak to take advantage of others; rather, Chu Luren was connecting Su Ying's three acupoints—the left and right Fengmen acupoints and the Xinshu acupoint—with these three acupoints on his back...

As streams of true energy surged into Su Ying's body, she was caught off guard and the light, ethereal true energy flowed from Chu Luren's body into Su Ying's lower body.

Su Ying simply relaxed her legs and began to walk briskly!

In fact, Zhou Beijun had already revealed some of his abilities—this was not something that even a slightly skilled martial arts practitioner could do.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Chu Luren could run like a dolphin a few years ago. That was due to the application of various supernatural skills and secret techniques. Moreover, he has now taken it a step further than the dolphin running technique.

Despite appearing to be carrying Chu Luren, there was no outward sign of him using any internal energy.

Su Ying is like someone with an external perpetual motion machine installed!

This reminded Chu Luren of a classic martial arts question from his past life—if Duan Yu carried Zhang Wuji on his back, constantly using the "Northern Darkness Divine Skill" to absorb Zhang Wuji's energy, and Zhang Wuji constantly used the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" to sustain himself, could Duan Yu cross the Pacific Ocean with the "Lingbo Steps"?

What left Chu Luren uncertain was...

Is Su Ying excited again?

Although the other party didn't show it to the naked eye, Chu Luren could feel that her hair was standing on end and her blood and qi were surging!

It was the same when she helped me into bed earlier...

Because of his upbringing, this person's mind is too strange, and Chu Luren cannot use his own logic to speculate about it!

However, Chu Luren was also thinking that Wei Wuyuan was clearly training Su Ying based on Yaoyue and Lianxing... mainly using Yaoyue as a template, so could it be assumed that Yaoyue also had this kind of personality?

Is it because his martial arts skills were too high, or for some other reason, that he didn't realize it?

Su Ying traveled without hindrance until she arrived at another stone chamber. The chamber was elegantly furnished, exuding a noblewoman's style. In the center was a large bed, covered by light gauze curtains...

However, if you lift the veil, you can see that it is like another world inside. Instead of a soft bed, there is a hard floor, and a lady dressed in a gauze dress is chained inside. There are also some indescribable mysterious props on the ground, as well as stone troughs for livestock, filled with what can be called delicacies.

If Chu Luren had come here alone, this woman would definitely have caused a ruckus, but now, seeing Su Ying enter, she looked utterly disappointed.

"Madam Ma, don't be so happy here. Your sturdy husband got into a fight with two wicked men. If you don't go soon, you might have to remarry." Su Ying understood her well and didn't mention widowhood, skipping straight to remarriage.

Ma Xiang, also known as Taxue, was originally named Ma Yiyun...

As you can see, he's a pervert.

She was addicted to masochism and insisted that Bai Shanjun cooperate with her. Bai Shanjun was already at his wits' end about this. In the original work, Ma Yiyun deceived Hua Wuque, making him think that Bai Shanjun had some strange fetish. The innocent Hua Wuque naturally fell for it and was eventually ambushed and captured.

"Two villains? Are they handsome?" Ma Yiyun asked, her eyes lighting up.

"One has a face full of scars, like a butcher; the other has a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, like a scoundrel," Su Ying commented fairly.

“Not bad, very good…hehehe, then I’ll take my leave first. If you need anything here, please don’t hesitate to use it.” Ma Yiyun said, then unlocked the chains herself and drifted away.

Su Ying, being inexperienced in such matters and in a state of inexplicable excitement, blushed slightly after being teased by Ma Yiyun.

“But if you listen to your sister, you should get rid of this man after you’ve used him! Don’t make Boss Wei angry…” Ma Yiyun said, patting Chu Luren on her back as if to check his muscles. Without waiting for Su Ying’s reply, she headed straight for the entrance.

Chu Luren used his muscles to clamp down on the hair-like needle that Ma Yiyun was secretly trying to stab at him with!

This hidden weapon is extremely vicious. Because it is so thin and flexible, it is almost impossible to shoot at a distance. However, when used in close combat with unique internal energy and techniques, it can break through internal energy...

Because the needles are as thin as hair, they have no direct killing power. However, they will follow the flow of true qi and gradually enter the body's major acupoints. Once they enter the vital acupoints, there is no cure—except for Su Ying.

In the original work, Hua Wuque was fierce and resolute. In order to save Tie Xinlan, he still exerted his true energy even when he was being needled, which caused the needle to penetrate the laughing point. Even Bai Shanjun and Ma Yiyun could not do anything about it, so they sent him to Su Ying for treatment.

Now, Chu Luren naturally didn't need Su Ying; he directly used his muscles to lock the fine needles in place, forcing them out of his body, and Ma Yiyun didn't even notice...

After all, the silk needle is only effective against true qi, and it is almost impossible to defend against it with true qi, but it is still a physical object.

Chu Luren's "body" had already stepped onto the threshold of the Heavenly Gate. He was just waiting to take another half step, or for someone to break down the threshold first, so that he could step in. His muscles were smooth and flexible, no less than true qi, so he could easily hold the fine needle!

Ma Yiyun was confused about the current situation and dared not let Su Ying go in to see Boss Wei with a stranger on her back, lest she be blamed afterward. He also dared not provoke Su Ying too much, after all, Boss Wei doted on her, and... Su Ying herself was not someone to be trifled with, and he might fall into her trap at any time.

So he just secretly harmed this wild boy and that was it—when Boss Wei discovers the hair-like needles in his body, he will naturally know that he has done his best!

Su Ying had actually noticed it, but she didn't say anything. Chu Luren noticed that her back muscles tensed up for a moment, but then relaxed.

Perhaps believing that Zhou Beijun could handle it himself, Su Ying continued forward.

There were clearly very few people here, and they didn't see much of the Toothless Gate. When they came to another stone gate, Su Ying didn't open it directly. Instead, she triggered a hidden mechanism on the side, which opened a small door. Then, Su Ying walked in quite naturally.

Chu Luren sensed something was wrong as soon as he entered; there were no other exits from the room…

However, when he tried to get up, several steel bars suddenly popped out from behind the threshold, instantly blocking the doorway!

Although Chu Luren reacted quickly, leaping up and slashing with his Dragon-Slaying Blade, instantly snapping the hundred-refined steel spikes, the stone gate had already fallen down in the short time it took to block it...

Just as Chu Luren raised his hand to strike, Su Ying, who had fallen to the ground beside him, hurriedly said, "Wait! The mechanisms are interconnected. If the door here breaks, everything around will collapse!"

At this moment, Su Ying sat down on the ground, blood spilling from her mouth—just now, Chu Luren noticed something was wrong and rushed to make a move, instantly severing the connection between their meridians. This backlash was nothing to Chu Luren, but Su Ying suffered a serious internal injury.

"What are you going to do?" Chu Luren asked angrily.

Chu Lu had originally wanted to blend in as much as possible, and Su Ying's attitude had been quite ambiguous, so she hadn't immediately turned hostile. But she never expected that Su Ying would bring her here to trap her.

Of course, Chu Luren wouldn't admit that he harbored some ulterior motives—such as wanting to observe more closely what "Yaoyue," with her low martial arts skills, would be like, to gain a better understanding of her...

Chapter 983 Great Wisdom Appears as Foolishness

"What do you want to do?" Chu Luren asked in a solemn voice, after planting a sword and a knife into the ground and looking at Su Ying, who had fallen to the ground.

"I just don't want you to die... My godfather dared to invite the two palace masters of Yihua Palace, which means he was already prepared to die. Why would you want to be buried with them for some empty fame? No... you may not be after empty fame, and you may even be using a false name, but in the end, there is no need for you to die." Su Ying said calmly.

"That's none of your business! Open the mechanism, and then it's up to you whether you want to betray us or run away!" Chu Luren no longer wanted to observe the "Inviting Moon MINI's" behavior; he just wanted to get away as soon as possible.

Otherwise, Yaoyue and Lianxing would probably have already stormed in...

"No, I won't open it," Su Ying calmly refused.

Chu Luren pulled the Yitian Sword from the ground and thrust it directly at Su Ying's neck, accurately pressing the tip of the sword against her chin.

"No, I won't open it," Su Ying said with a smile.

"Woman, don't test my patience!" Chu Luren felt great after saying that.

I think I've wanted to say this to Yaoyue for a long time...

“Aren’t you a great hero? How can a great hero be afraid of challenges?” Su Ying said deliberately, and even stood up.

Chu Luren kept pressing the Yitian Sword against her neck, but as she stood up, the blade was slightly raised, and as Su Ying approached Chu Luren, the sword was completely raised.

Su Ying, emboldened, reached out and grasped Chu Luren's right hand, which was holding a sword...

Then, Chu Luren neutralized the deadly poison that had seeped into her body through her palm.

However, Su Ying's face was not embarrassed or panicked at this moment, but rather filled with excitement!

His excitement was almost undisguised and visible to the naked eye.

Before she could speak, Chu Luren sealed her acupoints with his other hand, then looked at a wooden box to the side, which was about one and a half feet square...

“If you don’t open the mechanism, then we’ll have to trouble this fellow in the box!” Chu Luren said, making a sweeping motion with his Yitian Sword, and the wooden box shattered in response.

At that moment, a square object, the same shape as the wooden box, fell to the ground, bounced a few times, and then unfolded with a crackling sound.

"Wait, wait!" cried the stretching "lump of flesh," fearing that the Chu deer would attack at this moment.

In just two breaths, he returned to his "original form"—a middle-aged man who was seven feet tall with a big head and big eyes!

"Great hero, I didn't see what happened between you and Miss Su. I was just... sleeping in the box," the big-headed man said awkwardly.

Su Ying's eyes widened at this moment: "Pharmacist Hu? What are you doing here?" Then Su Ying thought of something and said unhappily: "That's right, Madam Ma is here, so you should naturally see if you can take advantage of the tiger's absence to rekindle your old flame."

“Niece Su, you are wrong. One should not covet a friend’s wife. How could I, Old Rabbit, have such thoughts!” Pharmacist Hu firmly denied it, but his eyes darted around and his goatee trembled as he dared not look at Su Ying.

Su Ying pursed her lips. The Rabbit-faced Pharmacist Hu had competed with Bai Shanjun for Ma Yiyun in his early years, but obviously lost in the end.

Hu Yaoshi's martial arts skills were only average among the twelve constellations, but he was proficient in bone shrinking and tortoise breathing techniques. He was initially hidden in a box, and because he did not move, even Chu Luren did not discover it immediately.

However, when he saw Su Ying holding Chu Luren's hand, Hu Yaoshi started breathing faintly, which made Chu Luren immediately aware of his presence!

Su Ying glared resentfully at Pharmacist Hu, but when she turned to look at "Zhou Beijun," she smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, I'll go with you. We can go wherever we want... Please release my acupoints!"

"Then, Niece Su, you entertain the guests. I won't bother you any longer." Pharmacist Hu slowly retreated into the corner.

Among the twelve constellations, Pharmacist Hu is not one of those who does not have a proper job. He has basically never engaged in robbery as his main job and belongs to the logistics personnel. Just look at his offensive name "Pharmacist" to know that he is also famous for his medical skills.

Chu Luren hesitated for a moment, then said to Su Ying, "Behave yourself, my tolerance has its limits!"

Ah, it felt so good to say that.

After releasing her pressure points, Su Ying turned and went to a corner to fiddle with a hidden mechanism...
