Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

"You're full of lies." Li Mochou moved, swung her whisk, and threw it towards Chen Liu.

Chen Liu was startled and fell backwards onto the horse. Just as he was about to stand up, Li Mochou's whisk came towards him again. Chen Liu was startled and kicked the stirrups off his horse. At the same time, he rolled off the horse and pulled out his sword. He used the Lingbo Weibu to dodge Li Mochou's attack.

[Damn, this Li Mochou is just as the legend says, ruthless and merciless, ready to attack anyone at the slightest disagreement.]

"Huh?" Li Mochou had no intention of killing Chen Liu. After all, she could hear Chen Liu's inner thoughts, and he also said a lot of inexplicable things. She didn't know what was going on, so she wanted to catch him and study him. Therefore, she only used 10% to 20% of her strength to attack Chen Liu casually. However, when she saw that Chen Liu's lightness skills were not bad, she became a little more serious.

"Who are you?" Although Chen Liu's lightness skills were good, Li Mochou was much stronger than him and was already a master in the late innate stage.

In the world of martial arts, Grandmasters are either dominant overlords or leaders of major sects; they rarely appear. Currently, the most renowned in the martial arts world are Grandmasters, but such individuals are rare. In the Song Dynasty, there are Qiao Feng, Murong Fu, the Shaolin Xuanci and Xuanbei, the Xiangyang hero Guo Juxia, and the East Evil and North Beggar Zhou Botong. If Wang Lianhua hadn't suddenly defeated Murong Fu a while ago, many would have thought he was just an innate master. Then there are the innate masters. Of course, some of these people conceal their abilities, so there's no telling when a Grandmaster or even a Grandmaster might suddenly emerge.

In fact, innate masters are already a very powerful force in the world of martial arts, and can even become the overlord who suppresses a small city. The vast majority of people in the world of martial arts are only acquired warriors, and innate masters are already masters that are out of their reach.

"My real name is Zhao Xiaobao." Chen Liu thrust the sword in his hand towards the place where Li Mochou had to be saved.

"Huh?" Li Mochou exclaimed in surprise again when she saw Chen Liu's swordsmanship. She turned the whisk in her hand and blocked the long sword in Chen Liu's hand.

Chen Liu felt a tremor in his sword-holding hand, and a numbness in his palm. He was filled with fear, thinking to himself, "My power is too far behind Li Mochou's. The moment my sword touched her whisk, it nearly knocked me off my feet. I can't fight her head-on."

Chen Liu was shocked, and Li Mochou was even more shocked. She discovered that Chen Liu was not only good at Qinggong and swordsmanship, but most importantly, he used true Qi, which was the standard of a congenital master. If it had been an ordinary acquired master, even a top master, the long sword would have been thrown out of his hand by her whisk, but Chen Liu was able to continue to hold the sword and fight her.

In this world, there are those who can use Qi after birth, but they are extremely rare, and all of them are those who possess supreme skills. For example, Shaolin's Yijingjin, Quanzhen Sect's Xiantian Gong, Ming Wudang's Chunyang Wuji Gong, Yihua Valley's Mingyu Gong, as well as the Nine Yin Manual and Nine Yang Manual, etc. Chen Liu can also use Qi after birth, which shows that he has a noble background. But Li Mochou is not afraid.

"Who are you?" Li Mochou slightly turned sideways, swung the whisk in her hand, and tried to twist Chen Liu's sword. Chen Liu didn't dare to confront her head-on, so she had to twist his sword first.

"Fairy, my real name is Zhao Dabao." Chen Liu took a step forward and dodged Li Mochou's attack in a strange way. The long sword in his hand remained unchanged and he continued to stab at Li Mochou.

"Didn't he call Zhao Xiaobao just now?" Li Mochou tapped the ground with her toes, and her body immediately flew back about a meter, and then flew back against common sense, and her whisk twisted towards Chen Liu's sword.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Chen Liu continued to step on the Lingbo Weibu, and performed the Dugu Nine Swords Sword-breaking Style with the long sword in his hand. Although Li Mochou used the whisk, he had no other choice now. He might not be Li Mochou's opponent if he used Guo Juxia's Zhuifeng Sword.

Chen Liu was forced to use the Lingbo Weibu technique to maneuver constantly, occasionally counterattacking with a sword move from Dugu Jiujianpo. However, Li Mochou was extremely experienced in combat, and as she gradually understood that Chen Liu only had a few moves, she became more and more adept at dealing with him. Limited by his skills and experience, Chen Liu was often forced to dodge with the Lingbo Weibu technique. Seeing that Chen Liu was being forced to dodge constantly by Li Mochou's increasing intensity, and that he was getting further and further away from them, Lu Wushuang quietly approached Chen Liu's horse. Hong Lingbo saw this, but she pretended not to notice.

When Lu Wushuang quietly came to Chen Liu's horse, he jumped quickly, climbed onto Chen Liu's horse, slapped the horse's butt, and ran away.

"Hey, is that my horse?" Chen Liu saw Lu Wushuang snatch his horse and run away, and he suddenly became anxious. The bundle on the horse's back not only contained most of his money, but also a pot of medicinal wine made from the gallbladder of a precious Bosu snake. It was a gift he had intended for Mu Nianci. He had saved most of the gallbladders of the largest Bosu snakes he had caught, and it was heartbreaking to see Lu Wushuang take them.

Lu Wushuang ignored Chen Liu and just rode her horse forward desperately. Although this was a bit unfair to Chen Liu, she could not die. She had to leave Li Mochou so that she could heal her feet, learn kung fu well, and come back to seek revenge on her in the future.

"Master, that lame little girl ran away on horseback." At this time, Hong Lingbo's voice also sounded. Although she intended to let Lu Wushuang go, if she did nothing, her master would definitely punish her.

"Just run away." Under normal circumstances, Li Mochou would definitely not let Lu Wushuang run away, but she is more interested in Chenliu now, so she no longer cares about a little girl.

As soon as Li Mochou got serious, Chen Liu began to feel dangerous. After all, his best skills were only Qinggong and two moves of Dugu Nine Swords, but his skills were too low to make up for the gap between him and Li Mochou. Fortunately, his Lingbo Weibu was really good, so even if he couldn't beat Li Mochou, he could always avoid her with a narrow escape.

Of course, Chen Liu might be able to absorb some of Li Mochou's inner energy while she wasn't paying attention, but given Li Mochou's shrewdness, she should be able to react quickly. As long as she poured in her inner energy, Chen Liu, with his current level of cultivation, would not be able to withstand it. He didn't dare to gamble. If he lost the bet, he would be finished.

As Li Mochou got more serious, Chen Liu's situation became increasingly difficult. If he continued to fight, he might die here. Seeing an opportunity, Chen Liu turned and ran, with Li Mochou chasing closely behind.

Chapter 69 Lu Wushuang

"Master, what should I do?" Hong Lingbo shouted hurriedly when he saw Li Mochou chasing Chen Liu.

"Go back to Tokyo first and bring my donkey back!" Li Mochou's voice came from afar.

Hong Lingbo: ...

"Master seems to be interested in that handsome young man. I just hope Master doesn't beat him to death." Hong Lingbo sighed and could only helplessly lead Li Mochou's donkey slowly towards Tokyo. Fortunately, she often went out with Master and was quite familiar with the world. And with her martial arts skills, ordinary people were no match for her.

After walking for about half a day, Hong Lingbo heard the clatter of horse hooves from behind. He looked back and saw three girls riding horses. All three girls were very beautiful, especially the one in the middle, who made Hong Lingbo a little stunned.

"Miss, have you seen a man riding a large green horse?" The girl on her left, who was about her age, asked when she saw Hong Lingbo leading the donkey. "The man is about twenty years old, very tall, about eight feet tall, with phoenix eyes, long sword-like eyebrows, and thin lips..."

Hong Lingbo's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this referring to the man whose voice she could hear, who said he would take her away to warm her bed in the future, and who was then chased by her master?

"Who are you?" Hong Lingbo asked calmly.

"My name is Guo Xiang, and I'm that man's sister." These three people were Huang Rong, Guo Xiang, and Guo Fu who had chased him all the way from Xiangyang to Chenliu.

Guo Xiang? Isn't this the person of similar age that the man mentioned? Is this the daughter of Guo Juxia?

Some time ago, Li Mochou went to Jiaxing to seek revenge on Lu Zhanyuan, but upon arriving at Lujiazhuang, she discovered that Lu Zhanyuan and He Yuanjun were already dead. Furious, Li Mochou attempted to kill everyone in Lujiazhuang to vent her anger, but was eventually frightened away by Guo Juxia, who had also arrived at Lujiazhuang and taken Lu Wushuang, who was holding the silk scarf she had given Lu Zhanyuan.

Lu Wushuang wasn't the daughter of Lu Zhanyuan and He Yuanjun, but rather the daughter of Lu Zhanyuan's younger brother, Lu Liding, and Lu Erniang. Li Mochou's intention in taking Lu Wushuang away wasn't to empathize with her former love for Lu Zhanyuan, but rather to humiliate her and vent her anger. Even when Lu Wushuang's leg was injured, she refused treatment, leaving her to limp. Lu Wushuang was also stubborn. Even though it was clear her leg wouldn't heal if she continued walking like that, she refused to beg for mercy.

Hong Lingbo felt very sorry for Lu Wushuang, but she didn't dare to take extra care of her in front of her master, so she could only do so secretly. She knew Lu Wushuang wanted to escape, but she pretended not to see it. Only after Lu Wushuang had already ridden away did she pretend to shout. This was all she could do.

"My name is Huang Rong."

Is this Huang Rong? She is indeed beautiful, much prettier than her, but her figure is indeed a bit disappointing. Hong Lingbo glanced at Huang Rong's chest.

Huang Rong saw Hong Lingbo glance at her chest, and she also glanced at Hong Lingbo's chest, her face suddenly darkened. What on earth did it look like? She really wanted to ask Hong Lingbo what he ate, but she really couldn't bring herself to ask.

"My name is Guo Fu." Guo Fu also gave her name.

Hong Lingbo thought for a moment and said, "I did see a tall man riding a green horse before. He looked very similar to the man you described. He even asked me how to get to Nanjing."

"Nanjing?" Huang Rong frowned, wondering what Chen Liu was doing in Nanjing?

"Thank you, young lady." Although Huang Rong didn't understand why Chen Liu would go to Nanjing, she figured a random girl she met on the road wouldn't lie to them, right? So she said goodbye to Hong Lingbo and rode on.

At the fork in the road ahead, one led to Tokyo, and the other led to Nanjing. The Nanjing of the Song Dynasty was not the Nanjing of today, but was in Shangqiu, Henan, known as Yingtian Prefecture, while the Nanjing of today is known as Jiangning Prefecture. Huang Rong, Guo Fu, and Guo Xiang turned their horses and headed towards Nanjing. They found a place to rest at night and continued their journey the next day. In the evening, the three women found Chen Liu's big blue horse in an inn in a small town. The three women were overjoyed and hurried into the inn to look for Chen Liu. However, after the three women asked the innkeeper, they learned that the blue horse did not belong to Chen Liu, but to a lame girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

Huang Rong, Guo Fu and Guo Xiang were stunned for a moment and then became furious. They went to find the lame girl. The boss saw that the three women were holding swords and knew that they were people from the martial arts world, so he didn't dare to stop them.

Huang Rong, Guo Fu, and Guo Xiang rushed into Lu Wushuang's room, finding her happily counting the gold and silver from the Chenliu parcel. There was quite a bit of gold and silver in the Chenliu parcel, hundreds of taels in total. It should be enough to treat her leg. Yes, there was also a pot of wine soaking in dark purple meatballs. I don't know what kind of wine it is. Once I'm safe, I'll test it to see if it's poisonous.

The door suddenly opened, startling Lu Wushuang. She quickly pushed her bag back and pulled out a low-quality long sword she had bought on the way with money from Chen Liu. Seeing that it wasn't Li Mochou, Lu Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, but she still pointed the sword at Huang Rong, Guo Fu, and Guo Xiang and demanded, "Who are you? Why are you breaking into my room?"

"It's Brother Chenliu's package." After seeing Chenliu's package, Guo Xiang turned to Huang Rong and Guo Fu and said.

Huang Rong's face was filled with anger as she demanded, "Where did you get this package?"

Lu Wushuang:...

"I picked this up."

"Did you pick up the green horse outside?"

Lu Wushuang:...

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll make you suffer." Huang Rong raised her hand and slammed the table in the room, causing it to shatter to the ground. The teapot and teacups on the table also fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Table Teapot: Who did I offend?

Lu Wushuang and Huang Rong smashed the table with one palm, and they knew that they had met a master. Although she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, the martial arts of the Lu family village were not very advanced. She was still just a third-rate martial artist, and she could definitely not beat these three people. She could only honestly explain her origins, hoping to arouse the sympathy of these three people.

"Are you Lu Wushuang?" Guo Xiang and Guo Fu couldn't help but be surprised when they heard Lu Wushuang talk about her identity and experience.

"Who are you?" Lu Wushuang looked at Guo Fu and Guo Xiang.

"My name is Guo Fu, and this is my sister Guo Xiang. We are the daughters of the great hero Guo Ju from Xiangyang." Guo Fu said.

"Hero Guo?" Lu Wushuang burst into tears of joy upon hearing this.

Although she initially didn't know that the person who had scared and injured Li Mochou was the Xiangyang hero Guo Juxia, she naturally learned from the conversation between Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo. This was also the reason why it had taken so long for them to get here from Jiaxing. Li Mochou had spent several days healing, and her donkey wasn't very fast. Otherwise, they would have returned to Tokyo long ago.

Chapter 70 Chase

"We were deceived by that damn woman."

Since she was an old friend of her uncle Lu Zhanyuan, Lu Wushuang told Huang Rong, Guo Fu, and Guo Xiang every detail of her encounter with Chen Liu and her escape by stealing his horse. Although this made the three women feel a little resentful towards her, it was better than continuing to hide it, right? Besides, it also concerned Chen Liu's safety.

After listening to Lu Wushuang's story, Huang Rong and Guo Fu and Guo Xiang couldn't help but look angry.

"Sister Huang Rong, Sister Guo Fu, Sister Guo Xiang, the busty girl you are talking about is Li Mochou's apprentice, named Hong Lingbo." Lu Wushuang said with some guilt.

"So what should we do now?" Guo Fu asked.

"Let's go find that woman named Hong Lingbo," Huang Rong decided. "We don't know what happened to Brother Chen Liu, and Wushuang doesn't know either. So, only by finding that woman can we find out what exactly happened."

"It's been more than a day. Can we still find her?" Guo Fu asked.

"How can we know if we don't look for it?" Huang Rong was also a little helpless.

"My three sisters, I know she must be heading towards Tokyo. Li Mochou has a base in Tokyo." Lu Wushuang said.

"Then we'll head back tomorrow morning, heading towards Tokyo," Huang Rong said. "She's riding a donkey, so she's slow. Hopefully, we can catch up with her before we reach Tokyo."

When Huang Rong, Guo Fu, and Guo Xiang were looking for Chen Liu, he was already out of breath from running. Li Mochou's face was also slightly pale and her lips were chapped.

For over a day, Li Mochou had assumed that no matter how profound Chen Liu's skills were, a post-natal master wouldn't be able to outrun her. However, the Lingbo Weibu technique not only didn't waste internal energy when used, but instead slowly increased it, making it impossible for Chen Liu to run out of energy. Chen Liu was tired because he hadn't rested or eaten in over a day, but Li Mochou continued to pursue him, not daring to stop. Even though Li Mochou wasn't in good shape, she was, after all, a congenital master. Her energy was much richer than his, her mental strength was stronger, and her condition was better.

"Why are you chasing me? I didn't provoke you?" Chen Liu was almost dying of being chased by Li Mochou. He was very angry. He didn't know how he had provoked Li Mochou to make her chase him so relentlessly.

Li Mochou sneered and didn't answer. She couldn't tell Chen Liu that she could hear his inner voice, could she? If Chen Liu knew that his inner voice could be heard, he would be on guard, and it would be difficult for her to hear his inner voice again.

In desperation, Chen Liu could only regard Li Mochou as a psychopath. Now Chen Liu no longer thought about anything else, he only focused on running away.

In fact, Li Mochou also felt embarrassed now. She originally had a cat-playing-with-mouse mentality towards Chen Liu, but as she ran, she found something wrong. How could the damn guy's true energy be so strong?

After running for more than a day, an apple orchard appeared in front of him. Chen Liu was overjoyed to see it. He didn't care whether the apples were ripe or raw. He rushed into the orchard and quickly picked a handful of green apples. He continued to run forward while eating. The apples were not yet ripe, a little sour and astringent, but Chen Liu didn't care anymore. Even if they were just sour apples, they were better than no apples.

Li Mochou also ran into the orchard, picked a handful of apples, put them in her arms, and continued to chase while eating.

On the third day, Chen Liu ran into a mountain, and after crossing the mountain, he entered the grassland.

On the fourth day, even with Chen Liu's careful consumption, all the apples he'd picked were gone. Li Mochou was in deep distress, her physical condition not much better. Four days and four nights, and she'd already eaten all the fruit she'd picked. The day before, she and Chen Liu had only managed to rehydrate when they encountered a river.

What infuriated Li Mochou was how the hell had Chen Liu managed to hold out for so long? How could a post-natal martial artist possess such a powerful zhenqi? Even she felt exhausted, so how could that guy not be tired too?

If it were just an ordinary person, Li Mochou might have given up. But Chen Liu's will was too strong, and his zhenqi was extremely powerful. If he broke through to the Xiantian realm, would she still be able to defeat him? The thought of someone like her, who had already escaped the pursuit of a Xiantian master for four days and four nights and still persisted, became her enemy, and Li Mochou felt a pang of fear. Therefore, if she couldn't control such a person, she would definitely eliminate him. This was Li Mochou's current thought. Even though Chen Liu was still a major realm away from her, she didn't dare to underestimate him.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Chen Liu encountered a herdsman herding sheep on horseback. He jumped up and kicked the herdsman away, then mounted his horse and ran away. The herdsman got up and yelled at Chen Liu. Chen Liu looked back and saw Li Mochou slap the herdsman on the back. Then she grabbed a bareback horse, mounted it, and continued to chase Chen Liu by the horse's hair.

[Damn, still chasing me.] Chen Liu cursed inwardly and continued running. Fortunately, the shepherd's horse had a saddle, kumis, and a few pieces of cheese made from goat's and mare's milk. Although it wasn't delicious, it was better than Li Mochou having nothing.

After running for most of the day, on the morning of the fifth day, Chen Liu's horse was foaming at the mouth and collapsed to the ground. Helpless, Chen Liu abandoned his horse and continued to run. Li Mochou was no better; her horse also collapsed, forcing her to dismount and give chase. Fortunately, after a long day of recuperation, including drinking kumis and eating cheese, Chen Liu's physical condition improved significantly, while Li Mochou hadn't recovered at all, only regaining some strength.

It's not a solution to continue like this. Isn't Li Mochou tired?

After running for another day and night, on the morning of the sixth day, Chen Liu met six middle-aged and elderly people and a young man who were saying goodbye to a middle-aged woman. The leader of the six middle-aged and elderly people was a blind man holding an iron crutch.

Chen Liu was overjoyed when he saw this. Aren't these the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Guo Jing? He quickly shouted, "But the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, the one chasing me is the Scarlet Snake Fairy Li Mochou. Please help me, Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. I will reward you handsomely later."

"The Red-robed Fairy Li Mochou?"

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan—no, only six remain now. Though they've long resided in the desert to teach Guo Jing, the Six Freaks of Jiangnan are not unfamiliar with the affairs of the Song Dynasty's underworld. They occasionally send one or two of them back to the Central Plains, and thus, they're familiar with the murderous Red Snake Fairy, Li Mochou. Regardless of how the young man from Chenliu knew them, or why Li Mochou was hunting him, now that they'd met, there was no reason not to save him.

"Stop Li Mochou." Ke Zhen'e, the leader of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, was a man of integrity, selflessness, generosity, and a hatred of evil. Upon hearing that the young man was being pursued by the Scarlet Snake Fairy Li Mochou, he immediately called on his brothers and sisters to help.
