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

Chapter 196 What a fast sword

Even Grandmasters couldn't do anything to the Taihang Mountains' swarm of warriors. The Southern Four Wonders were just four innate masters, so they naturally wouldn't take them seriously. If the Southern Four Wonders dared to go to the Taihang Mountains to cause trouble for them, they would make sure they never returned.

Moreover, the innate masters are already the best in the world. Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world will find it difficult to break through to the innate stage in their lifetime and can only stay in the acquired realm.

The Red Bees had now reached the Xiantian realm, and their swarm of bees was known for their lightness and speed. As long as the Grandmaster didn't show up, ordinary Xiantian masters wouldn't be able to defeat them. It was no wonder the Red Bees were so arrogant, not afraid of offending the Four Wonders of the South.

"Your intelligence ability is quite good." Huang Rong glanced at Sun Xiaohong and smiled softly.

"Hehe, this is what my family does." Sun Xiaohong said with a smile.

"Would you like to join us?" Having an intelligence briefer was very useful, at least much better than Qu Feiyan, a maid who only cared about serving Chen Liudao. Huang Rong began to think about taking Sun Xiaohong with her.

Sun Xiaohong sighed slightly and said depressedly, "No! I still have to accompany my grandfather to tell stories."

If it weren't for her grandfather's storytelling, Sun Xiaohong would have wanted to run to Chen Liu long ago. However, she couldn't tell her grandfather about Chen Liu's affairs, and she couldn't find an excuse to leave him and run to him. The most important thing was that Chen Liu's reputation as a playboy had spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. If she came over, wouldn't people also say she was his woman? This was something her grandfather would never allow.

"Ah!" Wang Xiaofeng was slashed again, and he saw that the Taihang people who besieged them were not afraid of the reputation of his master and his uncles, and six of the eight people were attacking him and wanted to kill him, so he felt a little scared.

If he continued like this, he would definitely die here. Wang Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and suddenly used the nine-stroke chain of "Peacock Spreading its Tail" sword techniques, dancing his long sword into a screen of light.

Wang Xiaofeng's swordsmanship has been passed down to him by his master Shui Dai. This set of "Peacock Spreading its Tail" swordsmanship consists of only nine moves. He has practiced it very well. Now he suddenly used it. There was a clanging sound. Two minions who were rushing towards Wang Xiaofeng were stabbed by the sword respectively. They couldn't help but scream "Ah" and retreated.

Wang Xiaofeng also took the opportunity to jump out and turned around to run.

"Cousin!" Shui Sheng was stunned when she saw Wang Xiaofeng leaving her and running away.

"Cousin, wait for me to come back and save you." Wang Xiaofeng shouted as he ran, "They won't kill you, they just want to kidnap you. Wait until I find Master and my uncles, and then I'll come back to save you."

Shui Sheng: ...

Shui Sheng was confused. When you find my father and my uncles and come back to save me, will my innocence still be there?

"Puchi!" Huang Rong and Sun Xiaohong couldn't help laughing when they saw Wang Xiaofeng leaving Shui Sheng behind and running away.

Wang Yuyan and Mu Nianci and the other girls also found it a little funny. Wang Yuyan also glanced at Chen Liu and thought to herself: My husband is still the best. He didn't even have martial arts skills at the beginning, but he dared to use a trick to kill the leader of Qingfeng Village.

Lin Shiyin snorted coldly, "Man!"

Chen Liu looked towards Lin Shiyin.

Lin Shiyin quickly explained: "Brother Chen Liu, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about him!"

Lin Shiyin pointed at Wang Xiaofeng who was running away.

Chen Liu:......

Chen Liu was actually a little speechless. He hadn't expected Wang Xiaofeng to abandon Shui Sheng and run away. Furthermore, Wang Xiaofeng wasn't completely powerless. As long as he was ruthless enough, willing to trade injury for injury, life for life, those seven or eight minions wouldn't be able to take them down in a short time. Yet, he still ran away, which showed that Wang Xiaofeng was also a coward.

[This doesn't seem surprising, however. In the original novel, Wang Xiaofeng believed the rumors spread by Hua Tiegan and betrayed Shui Sheng. He was also very selfish and eventually joined the gang of thugs who were trying to rob the treasure, eventually dying from poison.]

Only under the threat of death can one reveal their true colors. To survive, Hua Tiegan not only groveled before the Blood Blade Patriarch but also dug up and ate the corpses of his three sworn brothers. After leaving Snow Valley, to prevent his bad reputation from spreading and maintain his reputation, he deliberately spread rumors to the jianghu, accusing Shui Sheng of having an affair with Di Yun.

"Swish, swish, swish..." Several sharp sounds were heard, and suddenly several screams were heard outside. The minions who were about to rush forward to grab Shui Sheng suddenly had a chopstick in their throats. The chopstick was so powerful that it even sent their bodies flying backwards, throwing them a few feet away.

Shui Sheng, who had been about to commit suicide, thought she was doomed, was stunned. Chopsticks?

Wang Xiaofeng, who had already run more than ten feet, paused for a moment, and his legs habitually ran forward a few steps before he fell to the ground in front of him.

The red bee that threw a chopstick at Wang Xiaofeng heard the screams from his men and suddenly looked towards Chen Liu. After Wang Yuyan threw the chopsticks, Chen Liu instantly drew his sword and performed Spiral Nine Shadows to kill the red bee and blue sting bee.

Red Bee was startled and kicked upwards, sending the table he was sitting on, along with the dishes and chopsticks on it, flying up and smashing towards Chen Liu. Chen Liu didn't even stop, shaking his sword repeatedly, sending any dishes and chopsticks flying towards him crashing to the ground under his "Breaking Arrow" technique. Then he tapped the tip of his sword on the tabletop, using the "Zhan" technique. The table instantly cracked, breaking into countless pieces that shot back towards Red Bee and Blue Sting Bee.

The red bee used his hands and feet to dodge and retreat, dodging or blocking the wooden table fragments that were shot towards him. However, the blue stinger was not so lucky. Although he also knocked away most of the wooden table fragments that were shot towards him, a small part of the fragments still penetrated his body and caused serious injuries.

Chen Liu chased the red bee that was flying backwards. When he passed by the blue sting bee, he casually slashed his sword across its neck. The blue sting bee paused and suddenly stopped moving.

It has to be said that the Taihang group is quite capable, especially in terms of lightness and speed. Ordinary innate masters may be able to beat them, but they may not be able to outrun them.

However, Chen Liu was no ordinary innate master. He not only cultivated the supreme martial arts, the Beiming Divine Art, but also mastered the two top-tier Qinggong techniques, Lingbo Weibu and Helix Nine Shadows. Hong Feng's Qinggong was impressive, but not as strong as his. Furthermore, Chen Liu had no intention of letting Hong Feng, a ruthless thief who committed murder, arson, and other crimes, go unpunished, and he went all-out against them.

Breaking palm style!

Before Hong Feng could even pull out his weapon, Chen Liu stabbed him through the heart with a sword.

It's a long story, but what happened happened in a flash. The jianghu in the wild inn only saw a flash before their eyes, a figure flashing past, swooping towards the red bees and blue stinger bees in the corner of the inn. Some didn't even know what happened before Chen Liu finished his fight and put his long sword back into the scabbard at his waist.

It was not until this time that the blood of the blue stinger bee slowly seeped out from a blood line on his neck, oozing faster and faster, and his body slowly fell backwards.

"What a...fast...sword!" Red Bee said with some difficulty.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just die."

A smile that looked like crying appeared on Red Bee's face, and then he died.

Chapter 197 Wang Xiaofeng is dead

What a fast sword!

The inhabitants of the Wild Inn all agreed that Red Bee was right. Chen Liu's sword was indeed very fast. And not only was his sword fast, his movements were also incredibly swift. Before they could react, Chen Liu had already killed both the Blue Thorn Bee and the Red Bee, calling it a day.

The only ones present who could see Chen Liu's sword clearly were Wang Yuyan and the Tianji Elder Sun Baifa. Among the others, only Huang Rong, Mu Wanqing, and Zhong Ling, whose strength had reached the pinnacle of acquired power, could barely see it, but not very clearly.

In fact, Chen Liu had been intentionally practicing his swift swordsmanship during this period. He possessed two top-tier qinggong techniques: Lingbo Weibu (Light Footsteps) and Helix Nine Shadows. Lingbo Weibu was graceful and agile, while Helix Nine Shadows was incredibly fast, so fast it could create a mirage. Combined with the Dugu Nine Swords, which could shatter all forms of magic, if he could master the swift swordsmanship, few would be able to withstand it.

This was the first time Chen Liu used a quick sword to kill someone. Hong Feng thought his sword was fast, but Chen Liu was not satisfied. He felt it was still too slow and needed more practice.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Lu Wushuang ran to Shui Sheng, who had experienced many ups and downs and survived, and asked.

"Why didn't you take action earlier?" Shui Sheng suddenly burst into tears. It was unclear whether she was crying for saving her life, or for her cousin who had always loved and cared for her, but abandoned her at the critical moment and ran away.

Shui Sheng and Wang Xiaofeng grew up together, and her father, Shui Dai, even promised her many times that he would marry her when they grew up. With the handsome man and the beautiful woman, they believed they were a match made in heaven. They often traveled together, earning themselves the nickname "The Twin Swordsmen."

Shui Sheng thought that she would become her cousin's wife in the future, so she liked her cousin very much. But today, Wang Xiaofeng abandoned her and ran away at the critical moment, which dealt her a heavy blow. It turned out that her cousin did not love her as much as she imagined. In the critical moment, he only wanted to save himself and ignored her safety.

Everyone knew that without Wang Xiaofeng, Shui Sheng would be unable to stop the Taihang swarm and would be captured by them. The Taihang swarm were a bandit group that committed murder, arson, rape, looting, and all manner of evil! How could she survive in their hands? Even if she could save her life, her innocence would be lost. How could she still live in this world with her innocence tarnished by these bandits?

"Who told you to be so arrogant? You rode past us on horseback and almost splashed us with dust. It's good enough that my sister saved you." Lu Wushuang curled her lips.

Wang Yuyan could have saved Wang Xiaofeng. Even if Hong Feng had used chopsticks, she could have knocked his chopsticks away with them. However, Wang Yuyan disliked Wang Xiaofeng's behavior of abandoning Shui Sheng and running away. It was a blatant betrayal. Furthermore, Wang Xiaofeng and Shui Sheng happened to be cousins, which made Wang Yuyan even more disgusted with Wang Xiaofeng, so she didn't save him.

Jin Yong's novels actually feature a lot of cousins, like Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan in "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," Wang Xiaofeng and Shui Sheng in "The Untold Story," Wei Bi and Zhu Jiuzhen, Zhang Wuji and Yin Li in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," Wen Zheng and Xia Qingqing in "The Stained Sword," and so on. And most of these cousins ​​share one thing in common: with the exception of Zhang Wuji, none of them are good people. This would be fine if it were just one or two novels, but nearly all of them are villains, which is a bit puzzling. It's unclear why Jin Yong harbors such a deep resentment towards his cousins.

Shui Sheng: ...

Was this their fault? Oh! It seemed as if she and her cousin had indeed been galloping on the road before, and the reason the Taihang people had come to trouble them was because they had splashed dust all over their faces. But weren't they in a hurry to get to the capital as soon as possible? Who could have known that splashing a little dust would lead to being hunted down?

"And your cousin who abandoned you and ran away is actually quite skilled in martial arts. He seems to have been taught by a famous teacher. As long as he can fight seriously, these guys..." Lu Wushuang pointed at the eight minions that Wang Yuyan had killed with chopsticks and said, "They are just amateurs and don't have any particularly outstanding martial arts skills. It's impossible for them to defeat you in a short time. The reason they can suppress you is entirely because they are ruthless and dare to fight you to the death."

Shui Sheng: ...

This little girl only looks about twelve or thirteen? How could she actually see that?

Speaking of her cousin, although Wang Xiaofeng abandoned her and ran away, Shui Sheng also hated and despaired about it, but Wang Xiaofeng was not only her cousin, but also her father's apprentice. Moreover, before Wang Xiaofeng ran away, Shui Sheng still loved him very much, so she couldn't just abandon him and quickly got up from the ground and ran towards Wang Xiaofeng.

The red bee was really ruthless. It pierced Wang Xiaofeng's heart directly through his back with a chopstick. Wang Xiaofeng was dead beyond redemption.

Shui Sheng collapsed to the ground again, not knowing what to feel now. She felt gloating, but Wang Xiaofeng was her cousin, and she had loved him before. She felt sad, but Wang Xiaofeng had abandoned her and fled, so she couldn't feel sad anymore.

"Tsk tsk! How miserable!" Lu Wushuang was completely gloating because she also didn't like Wang Xiaofeng.

【Wang Xiaofeng is dead? 】

Upon hearing that Wang Xiaofeng was dead, Chen Liu couldn't help but frown.

Shui Sheng thought to herself: I can indeed hear what he is thinking.

But thinking of what Lu Wushuang had just whispered to her, that no matter what strange things she encountered or what shocking news she heard, she must not reveal it, otherwise he would kill her. Shui Sheng quickly composed herself and pretended to know nothing.

The world seems to be in chaos. According to the original plot, Wang Xiaofeng shouldn't have died at this time; he still had several years to go. Furthermore, I took all the treasures from Tianning Temple, and even Ding Dian and Di Yun became my family's worshippers. Without the treasures and Di Yun, Wang Xiaofeng might have married Shui Sheng. But now, Wang Xiaofeng is dead, years ahead of schedule.

[Is this another butterfly effect? ​​]

"Why did you come to the capital with your cousin?" Chen Liu asked Shui Sheng.

"Lord Ling, the prefect of Jingzhou, found my father and Master Lu, Master Hua, and Master Liu, and asked us to help find the whereabouts of several people." Shui Sheng suppressed the turmoil in her heart and glanced at Chen Liu quietly.

Shui Sheng hadn't told the whole truth. Ling Tui Si had asked her father and other senior teachers to investigate Chenliu, but she hadn't been included. She and Wang Xiaofeng had volunteered to help with the investigation after learning about it.

"How many people should we check?" Chen Liu frowned slightly.

"A bearded man with a cross-shaped scar on the right side of his face, and three women. Those four broke into Lord Ling's home and kidnapped his daughter. We thought many people from the Jianghu would come to the capital to watch the sword fight between Baiyun City Lord and Ximen Chuxue, so we decided to try our luck there."

Chen Liu:......

[Fuck, this is really my fault.]

Chapter 198 Divine Marquis?

Chen Liu, along with Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, and Qi Fang, had to disguise themselves when they broke into Ling Tui Si's home, taking Ling Shuang Hua with them. After all, he couldn't possibly kill Ling Tui Si in front of her. Ling Tui Si was the prefect of Jingzhou, a member of the imperial court. If he knew their true identities, he could report them to the court, and Chen Liu would be unable to walk freely in the Ming Dynasty.

That day, Chen Liu disguised himself as a bearded man with a cross-shaped scar on his face. Presumably, Ding Dian had also been taken away by Chen Liu. Ling Tui Si, unwilling to accept this, asked the Southern Four Wonders, Luo Hua Liu Shui, to investigate his whereabouts and perhaps even deal with him. Wang Xiaofeng and Shui Sheng, who were not supposed to be in the capital, also went there to investigate him. Their arrogance led them to be hunted down by the Taihang hordes.

So Wang Xiaofeng’s death can still be blamed on him. What a shame.

Shui Sheng felt like crying, but she couldn't. It turned out that Chen Liu had been the one who broke into Lord Ling's residence and abducted his daughter. And if she hadn't been investigating him, she and her cousin probably wouldn't have come to the capital, and her cousin wouldn't have abandoned her and fled, much less been killed.

Now she didn't know whether her cousin's death was a good thing or a bad thing. Well, it was probably both good and bad. The good thing was that it allowed her to see her cousin's true face. The bad thing was that her cousin was dead, and her love was gone too.

Shui Sheng hadn't just heard from Chen Liu's inner voice that he'd broken into Ling Tuisi's residence and taken his daughter away. She'd also heard that her father, along with Masters Lu and Liu, were dead. Master Hua, to survive, had eaten the bodies of her father and two other Masters, and had also fabricated rumors and slandered her. She also knew that her cousin would betray her in the future and die in a treasure hunt a few years later.

In order to hide her face which had turned slightly pale with fear, Shui Sheng could only put her head in her hands and sob.

"Okay, stop crying. The dead cannot be resurrected. This incident has also taught you a lesson. Don't be too reckless when you go out in the future. It's useless. It is also very likely to bring disaster." Chen Liu saw Shui Sheng crying and suddenly became a little impatient.

[Anyway, Wang Xiaofeng isn't a good guy, so let him die!]

"But, but we were always like this before, so it's okay, right?" Shui Sheng said weakly.

Chen Liu scolded, "How can that be the same? Your father and his people are the Four Wonders of the South. Their main area of ​​activity is Jingxiang. Who in the Jingxiang world doesn't respect them? Even if you're a little arrogant, as long as you reveal your father's identity, generally no one will bother you. But this is not Jingxiang, this is the north, and it's close to the emperor's feet. Your father and his people don't have the face to come here."

Shui Sheng: ...

"Your cousin is dead. What are you going to do now? Are you going to take your cousin's body back to Jingxiang? Or are you going to take your cousin's body back to Jingxiang?" Chen Liu asked.

Shui Sheng: ...

Isn't there only one choice?
