The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out!

The snow in front of Lei Wujie, the blue bricks beneath the snow, and the soil beneath the blue bricks were all blown away by the explosion at this moment!

A crack in a semi-cylindrical shape, half a meter deep and three meters in diameter, continued to extend its distance as the force of the punch flew out. Furthermore, the force of the punch caused friction with the air, which generated flames, and the flames had the characteristic of spreading outwards!

Therefore, when the punch reached about five meters in front of Minghou Yueji, it had already formed, as if a transparent fist wrapped in real flames was bombarding them!

"Tsukihime! Watch out for their next move. I'll handle this one!"

"understand!"

A powerful fiery fist suddenly struck. Minghou and Yueji exchanged a glance. Minghou gave the order, and after receiving Yueji's nod, he unleashed all the internal energy in his body.

He drew the giant golden sword, and pale earth-colored energy was visibly transferred into the blade!

Then, with a horizontal slash as the attack, a thunderous roar followed as the fierce blade energy sliced ​​through the air, carrying a large amount of snow and frost with it, and swept directly towards Lei Wujie's fiery fist like a stampede of horses!

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

As large amounts of frost and snow melted, the sound of the snowmelt vaporizing echoed, and thick fog rose up, obscuring the view of everyone inside the dilapidated temple!

It was during this moment that Tang Lian had already memorized the positions of Yue Ji and Ming Hou. He took out the Rain of Pear Blossoms Needle from his waist, which he had wanted to use when he encountered Li Xiuyuan, but knew very well that it would not be very effective due to the huge difference in strength!

"One of the Tang Clan's supreme hidden weapons, the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles... Go!"

Tang Lian silently recited to herself and began manipulating the cylindrical object containing the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles using a special hidden weapon technique!

In no more than three breaths, the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles were ready to be unleashed, waiting only for Tang Lian's breath of internal energy to activate it. This ultimate hidden weapon of the Tang Clan, which in the future even managed to injure two sword immortals, was about to be launched!

Hmm, internal energy is ready... Launch!

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

"Don't try to succeed!"

Although the dilapidated temple was filled with smoke, so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

But as mentioned before, unless you have specifically mastered martial arts related to the eyes, or are born with heterochromia and have some kind of talent, the eyes are the least efficient reflex organ for those martial arts masters!

Just like Tsukihime in front of her, when she realized that the thick fog could not be dissipated for a while, she had already closed her eyes and relied solely on the sounds she heard and her perception of the enemy's internal energy fluctuations to determine the opponent's attack methods!

"These are Tang Clan hidden weapons! There are thirty-six in total! They're needle-shaped!"

"Could it be... a barrage of pear blossom needles?"

Look, even though her eyes were closed, Yueji was able to guess all of Tang Lian's methods using her hearing and internal energy perception.

Of course, guessing it is one thing, but whether it can actually stop it is another matter entirely!

After all, this was the one that had injured two sword immortals... cough cough, well, those were all unforeseen circumstances.

After all, in the original story, those two unlucky sword immortals were already ambushed by a powerful enemy and were only caught in the trap because they were disturbed. Not only that, in that scene, the enemy also set up a so-called "realm suppression array" and a poison to eliminate internal energy!

"Not good! I can't hold them all off by myself, Lord Ming! Raise your sword half a foot to the right, and use your shoulder to block!"

Well, it's true that sword immortals won't be affected if they're not disturbed, otherwise this Rain of Pear Blossom Needles would be too powerful.

However, since this thing can be the Tang Clan's trump card, it would be too weak if it could be easily blocked.

Therefore, Tsukihime was able to react perfectly and sense the launch of this attack.

However, she alone could not intercept all thirty-six poison needles!

Fortunately, she and the Underworld Lord had worked together for countless years and their cooperation was excellent.

Sure enough, Tsukihime simply said a few words, and all 36 poison needles, except for the 12 that flew out and missed, were blocked and dodged!

Even so, the launch of the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles itself has powerful kinetic energy, and Tang Lian also attached true qi to it.

So even though neither of the two opponents were poisoned by the needles, Minghou was able to handle the situation because he was wielding a giant golden sword and was very strong. However, he was holding a sword that was relatively weak, and Yueji, whose inner strength had been almost completely exhausted in the previous battle with Lei Wujie, was forced back several steps, and blood inevitably spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"Moon Princess! Your inner strength is exhausted, so you should step back!"

"Leave the rest to me!"

"After all... if I'm not mistaken, the other side should be at their last gasp, right?"

Minghou bluntly stated that they had already lost one combatant.

This is because he is confident in facing the combined forces of Lei Wujie, who has already been weakened by Yue Ji, and his original rival Tang Lian!

However, Lei Wujie's next move left Xiao Se, who had returned to watching the battle, speechless.

As mentioned above, they revealed that their combat personnel had been reduced by one because they were confident.

What are you doing, Lei Wujie? Even if you're really no good, you could at least put on an act. Maybe you could force the other side to back down.

The other side is just saying that. They're not mind readers. How could they be sure that you're at your limit? How could they be sure that you can't use that move again?

Although he didn't know exactly how obsessed these assassins were with their mission targets.

However, in Xiao Se's opinion, as long as you put on the same pose again, there is an 80% chance that the other side will retreat first!

Even if Minghou, that silly older brother, is stubborn, Yueji will definitely try to persuade him to leave!

Yes, our Lei Wujie has acted foolishly again.

What did he do to make Xiao Se so angry?

Just look around and you'll see!

Is this idiot seeking fairness or what?

After Minghou said that Yueji no longer had the strength to fight, Lei Wujie immediately collapsed to the ground!

He cried out, "I'm out of strength! I lost! You won the game against me!"

Xiao Se and Tang Lian: "..."

Tsukihime: "?"

…………

Chapter 20 Make way, make way, I'm about to call for reinforcements!

"Hey~!"

"Wow! Senior Brother Wei Tuo, you're really...too heavy!"

Inside the dilapidated temple, there was nowhere that anyone paid attention to.

Li Xiuyuan walked there alone, and after trying for a long time, he still couldn't lift the stone statue.

"Sigh, so be it. I'm just too lazy to do it myself, and I can't just stand by and watch that idiot get killed."

After trying for a long time without success, Li Xiuyuan finished speaking and then lifted the Weituo statue with just one hand.

He even tossed the statue itself in the air and caught it with his back.

Looking at his relaxed appearance now, it's not hard to guess that he wasn't actually unable to lift it earlier; he was simply too lazy to put in the effort...

…………

"Phew! I lost. You won that round!"

The camera pans to the other side.

Our Lei Wujie slumped to the ground, though his heart was burning with pain.

But at this moment, the expression on his face was three parts pain and seven parts happiness.

Clearly, this idiot hadn't taken the cruelty of the underworld to heart, and he had selectively ignored the fact that the other party was an assassin.

To put it bluntly, this guy... probably thinks the assassination attempt on Yue Ji and Ming Hou is a martial arts competition, right?

"Lost? Won? Heh, young master, are you really stupid or are you just pretending?"

"Assassins don't talk about winning or losing, they talk about life and death!"

A mocking smile appeared on Yue Ji's pale face as she refuted Lei Wujie's statement.

Even Tang Lian, after spending so much time together, he realized that his future junior brother was somewhat naive.

But isn't this a bit too simplistic?

"Lei Wujie, stand up! If you really don't have the strength, go and rest in the back!"

"How can you sit like this in front of the enemy? What kind of behavior is that?"

"In your current stance, if the other side were to attack, you would be decapitated in an instant!"

As Tang Lian spoke, she scanned Yue Ji and Ming Hou with a wary gaze.

After confirming that the other party showed no signs of intending to launch a sneak attack, they quickly helped Lei Wujie up from the ground.

"Hehe, how could I let you help me up, Senior Brother? Don't worry, I'm fine, I'll be alright after a rest!"

After Lei Wujie stood up, he dusted himself off and grinned foolishly as he spoke.

Clearly, this little blockhead truly lives up to his reputation; he still hasn't grasped the seriousness of the situation.

Even though the other party repeatedly emphasized that they were assassins! Even though Tang Lian warned that in this situation, the slightest carelessness could result in death on the spot.

But Lei Wujie was still the same as before. His focus had actually shifted to who was helping whom and whether they had become friends. This kind of naivety... to put it nicely, it's naivety; to put it bluntly, it's just stupidity!

"Sigh, never mind... After you formally become an apprentice, I will definitely give the elder who is mentoring you a good talking-to."

"Let him teach you a lesson about the cruelty of the martial world! You... I really don't know how you managed to get here all by yourself from Lei Family Fortress!"

Tang Lian, utterly speechless, planned out Lei Wujie's future compulsory courses.

He wanted to say something more, but when he suddenly noticed that the Underworld Lord on the other side was making a move, he quickly stepped forward to shield Lei Wujie behind him, his eyes darting over with great vigilance.

"Ha, no need! I would never launch a sneak attack on you!"

"This foolish boy is now completely incapable of fighting."

"Tang Lian...you have very few hidden weapons left, or perhaps none at all?"

"Without the aid of hidden weapons, what do you have to fight me with?"

This is the first time since the Marquis of the Underworld appeared that he has spoken so much.

After hearing what he said, Tang Lian's face remained expressionless, making her inscrutable.

But deep down he knew very well that, just as the other party had guessed, he... really had no other hidden weapons!
