Yin Zhiping from The Condor Heroes, Immortality Begins from The Condor Heroes

"Your Grandpa Ke is right. Uncle Guo's talent is not very good. It can even be said that it is very poor. When you reach Uncle Guo's age, you will definitely be better than Uncle Guo."

Guo Jing is honest and simple. Since his master compares himself to Yang Guo, he also feels that with the famous teacher Yin Zhiping, Yang Guo's achievements will definitely surpass his own.

Yang Guo's self-confidence, which had been hit hard, finally recovered a little, and he became even more eager for the Ten Thousand Swords to Return to the Origin.

"Guo'er, have you learned the move Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One?"

Although the time is still short, Yin Zhiping has a way to help Yang Guo quickly complete the practice of the first volume of the Nine Yang Divine Art. Zhen Zhibing wondered if he had also learned the world-famous move?

"I'm still not very good at that move. I can never combine the sword energy together, let alone be able to complete it in an instant like Master can now."

Yang Guo scratched his head. Wanjian Guiyi was the only powerful move Wanjian Guizong had at the moment, and even with Yang Guo's extraordinary talent, it would be difficult for him to learn it so quickly.

Zhen Zhibing felt both happy and disappointed.

Fortunately, Yang Guo's talent is not so incredible that he can't see the end. He can learn the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin and quickly cultivate the first volume of the Nine Yang Divine Art. Even with the help of his senior brother, it cannot cover up Yang Guo's talent that can be seen with the naked eye.

What was disappointing was that Yang Guo’s talent was not as high as he had imagined. He had mastered the first volume of the Nine Yang Divine Art, but he had not yet mastered the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One.

It's very contradictory, but this is what Zhen Zhibing thinks.

It's normal.

When ordinary people see someone better than themselves, even if it is someone close to them, they can't help but feel envious or even jealous, and they will definitely wonder why it is not them.

It’s just that some people have strong self-control, so once this kind of thought appears, it will be suppressed and will not be nurtured to grow, just like Zhen Zhibing now.

Some people can't control themselves, and even indulge in these thoughts, thinking about them over and over again. The more they think about it, the more jealous they become, and they will become obsessed and go down the wrong path. Many people will do this.

When Li Zhichang was chosen as the future headmaster, Zhen Zhibing also had such thoughts, but his feelings for Quanzhen Sect, his brotherhood with Yin Zhiping and Li Zhichang over the years, and his gratitude to his master made Zhen Zhibing figure it all out himself.

Zhen Zhibing realized that his senior brother did not choose him because he must have done something worse than Li Zhichang, so he adjusted himself and came to his senses.

All in all, Yang Guo’s improvement in strength is gratifying, as it has enhanced his ability to protect himself.

After testing Yang Guo, everyone dispersed. In the past few days, the atmosphere on both sides, whether in Xiangyang City or on the Mongolian side, has become increasingly depressing. The top leaders of both sides know that the war will soon begin.

By then, no one knows how many people will be buried under the city and how many families will be torn apart.

Guo Jing, Huang Rong and other high-level officials in Xiangyang were under even greater pressure. Once Xiangyang fell, it would be the beginning of the demise of the entire Southern Song Dynasty.

Of course, there was also good news. Thanks to the efforts of the current emperor, large amounts of food were continuously delivered to Xiangyang City. Unfortunately, the promised army had not yet arrived.

Mongolian masters also sent small groups of troops to cut off the food and grass supplies of the Southern Song Dynasty, including many martial arts masters.

But all this was within Huang Rong's expectations. To ensure that nothing would go wrong, Huang Rong played her trump card and Li Zhichang personally went out of the city to escort them.

The result was that Li Zhichang had a fight with Ouyang Lie, the successor of the Western Poison. Ouyang Lie was seriously injured and escaped, while the rest of the people were all killed by Li Zhichang's sword.

The future leader of Quanzhen Sect shows his prowess for the first time.

Chapter 188 No more talking, just start the war

In the first confrontation between Nine Yang Divine Art and Toad Skill, Nine Yang Divine Art won completely.

If Li Zhichang had not been concerned about protecting the food and supplies, he would never have let Ouyang Lie leave.

Ouyang Lie returned home with a solemn promise and serious injuries, and he also had some concerns about the confrontation between the Mongolian masters and the high-end combat power of Xiangyang City.

Both parties had the same idea in mind.

On the one hand, they thought that the food and supplies had arrived, and they were more confident in defending the city.

On the one hand, I am thinking of intercepting your food supplies and seeing what you can use to defend the city.

Both sides played their trump cards, and the Xiangyang side won completely.

I’m not sure about other things, but it definitely stimulated Ouyang Lie a lot.

Since Ouyang Lie made his debut, when he just became a Xiantian, he protected his entire family, took over the dilapidated White Camel Villa, and became proud and prosperous.

However, after joining the Mongolian army ten years ago and working for the Mongolian Khan, none of the people he met in the innate realm were weaker than him; each one of them was stronger than him.

Let’s not talk about the fact that he lost to Yin Zhiping that year. Anyway, he was recognized as the best in the world, not only by the Central Plains martial arts world, but also by the Mongolian martial arts world. Even Ba Gu Cang was forced to interrupt his closed-eye meditation. Who else could beat Yin Zhiping?

Hadabater, who is more powerful than King Jinlun, cannot even break the Free Prajna Heart Bell of Bagucang, let alone the mysterious and unpredictable spiritual method of changing the sky and striking the earth.

Thinking about the battles with people of the same level since his debut, Ouyang Lie recalled that he had never won.

The more Ouyang Lie thought about it, the more he wanted to cry. His Toad Skill used to be so awesome, on par with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and One Finger Zen.

But now?

I have ruined all my dignity.

No matter what Ouyang Lie thinks, Li Zhichang's reputation has increased significantly.

The victory between high-end combat forces also gave a shot in the arm to the tense and stressed-out Xiangyang City. Coupled with sufficient food and grass, it also gave the entire army more confidence.

On the third day after the battle, the Mongolian army was either finally ready or did not want the failure to have too much of an impact. After using some precious medicines to help Ouyang Lie recover from his injuries quickly, the Mongolian army deployed their horses and chariots and stood at the foot of Xiangyang City.

Guo Jing had also been waiting for this moment, and suddenly felt relieved.

The tension of knowing it was going to start but not knowing exactly when it would start was really tormenting him.

The commander of the Mongolian army this time was Ariq Böke, a rising star under the Mongolian Khan Ogedei. He had made remarkable achievements since his debut, although this was also due to the weakness of the Song army.

Alibugha's style of doing things was different from others. When the two armies fought, he directly ordered an attack on the city without any communication with Guo Jing.

Moreover, they attacked the city with all their might from the very beginning without making any attempts.

Densely packed Mongolian soldiers, holding siege weapons, attempted to climb the walls of Xiangyang, break in and open the city gate. Once the Mongolian cavalry entered the city, it would be a victory for the Mongolian army.

Yin Zhiping had already known about the war in Xiangyang City, and began to give Yin Tianxue and Guo Fu, who had suffered a lot, a holiday, and asked the guard eagle to take the two little ones to play nearby.

I don't expect the two little guys to complete their training plan on their own without anyone watching.

Yin Zhiping found a secluded hilltop and watched the two armies fighting.

Two hundred thousand versus seventy thousand, Guo Jing and his men were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of both quality and quantity. Yin Zhiping felt that if the Mongolian army just charged in casually, Xiangyang would definitely not be able to be defended.

Yin Zhiping couldn't understand how Guo Jing could guard Xiangyang City for decades under such circumstances?

Just based on a Wu Mu's posthumous letter?

Yue Fei is indeed powerful, but there must be a limit. Besides, you, Guo Jing, are not Yue Fei.

Xiangyang City continued to defend itself by relying on its city walls, and this was the only way. Opening the city gates to fight would be a dead end.

However, compared to ten years ago, there are far more martial artists coming this time.

Hearing that Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong had not been found yet, Yin Zhiping guessed that the two might be together and then ran away to outside the territory and were not in the Central Plains at all.

Otherwise, given Huang Yaoshi's personality, he would have come to help even without being asked.

It's too late to say this now, the war has already begun.

Unlike the last time, there was no trial siege this time. Ouyang Lie, King Jinlun and Hadabater all stood at the front, leading the army behind them towards Xiangyang City.

This scene is really grand. It is impossible to mobilize all 200,000 troops.

But looking from such a high place, you can't tell whether there are 200,000 or 100,000 people. This is not the performance of the extras in the old TV dramas, but a real war scene. Looking around, there are people arranged in neat rows, and you can't see the end at a glance.

From an outsider's perspective, it was even more shocking than standing on the wall.

When I faced the military force head-on, I was only thinking about how to complete the mission while saving my life in the war, but I didn't pay attention to this unprecedented formation.

It would be too easy for the three most powerful Mongolian masters not to climb the city wall.

Whether they climb up the city wall and open the city gate from the inside, or directly use their absolute strength to open the city gate from the outside, they will face the Xiantian realm in Xiangyang City, and others will not have the ability to fight them.

Seeing their plan, Guo Jing had to hand over the command to Huang Rong, and jumped down with Li Mochou and Li Zhichang to fight against the three Mongolian masters.

Guo Jing took the lead in fighting against Hadabater, Li Mochou went to find King Jinlun, and the remaining Li Zhichang fought with Ouyang Lie.

Ouyang Lie was unwilling to accept the result and vowed to take revenge and restore the reputation of Toad Kung Fu.

Li Zhichang regretted that he failed to kill Ouyang Lie last time, so this time he was determined to complete the first kill in the Xiantian realm.

Just below the city wall, the six people were divided into three battlefields.

The surging power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms raged, opening and closing violently; the divine arrows broke through the surface, appeared and disappeared mysteriously, and shot at tricky angles. Hadabater used a bow as a weapon, and rarely did he carry a quiver, so he transformed the arrows with his true energy.

King Jinlun clenched his fists, and four flywheels, one large and three small, guarded his left and right like guards. Dragon roars and elephant sounds continued, and his true essence turned into a golden dragon. Combined with a pair of iron fists and four flywheels, his attack was like a tide.

Li Mochou held on to her unity, and used all her Nine Yang True Essence to protect her body. Neither the flywheel nor the golden dragon could hurt her in the slightest.

The Tomb School's light and graceful Kung Fu looked even more ethereal under Li Mochou's feet, but King Jinlun knew his own suffering. Who would have thought that Yin Zhiping's wife, a seemingly weak girl, could punch so hard, no less powerful than his own Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu.

In fact, it is very simple. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra and the Nine Yang Divine Art are actually both martial arts that have reached the extreme on the same path.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu is a martial arts training method that focuses on cultivating the body from the outside to the inside, so that after practicing it, one will have the power of a dragon and an elephant.

The Nine Yang Divine Art works from the inside out, focusing on internal strength. Every punch and kick is filled with a force of thousands of pounds. Combined with the coordination of true energy, its power is evident.

Chapter 189: Are you using poison to deal with the Nine Yang Divine Art?

The battle between the two sides was fairly evenly matched. Both Hadabater and King Jinlun were very powerful. Even in the innate realm, they were at the top echelon of strong men. People like Ci'en would only be defeated miserably if they fought against them.

This was the situation in the fight between Ouyang Lie and Li Zhichang.

Ouyang Lie was eager for revenge, but the gap in strength put him at an absolute disadvantage from the very beginning.

Li Zhichang had already figured out Ouyang Lie's moves and routines through their last fight, so he was able to deal with him with ease.

With the full force of the Nine Yang Divine Art, the Quanzhen sword technique used the Three Purities in One Breath as the main attack, combined with the Canglan Sword, Dingyang Needle, and Tonggui Sword. The three powerful moves were used alternately to steadily suppress Ouyang Lie, and the situation was very good.

Seeing this, Ouyang Lie felt secretly resentful. He turned his eyes and found an opportunity. He shot the poison needle hidden in his sleeve at Li Zhichang silently.

Why is Ouyang Feng called the West Poison? Isn’t it because in addition to the Toad Skill, he also had a host of poison techniques that were hard to defend against?

Even Hong Qigong, the Beggar of the North who is also one of the Five Great Masters, was poisoned by Ouyang Feng to the point that he could no longer use his internal energy and only survived by luck.

In these years, Ouyang Lie has not only wasted his time, but also relied on his powerful strength to do evil.

Precisely because he had suffered hardships in the past, Ouyang Lie knew better than anyone that only strong strength could maintain his current life, make people respect him, make people fear him, and prevent him from being bullied.

Since there was no progress in Toad Skill, Ouyang Lie naturally turned his attention to Ouyang Feng's poison technique.

Unfortunately, there is no record of the art of taming snakes, so Ouyang Lie cannot learn it.

Ouyang Lie has great talent, otherwise he would not have been able to achieve innateness through a Toad Kung Fu secret book.

But it's not that good. Her achievements are destined not to reach Ouyang Feng's level, so it is impossible for her to research Ouyang Feng's snake-controlling technique by herself.

Otherwise, Ouyang Lie would think that attacking the city would be easy.

No matter how many people there are in the city, are there as many snakes as in the surrounding mountains and forests?

Thousands of snakes coming out together can scare people to death.

What's more, even if a snake is cut into two pieces, it will not die immediately. As long as it is bitten by a venomous snake, it will be poisoned.

Ouyang Lie always felt it was a pity that such a great opportunity to make a contribution was lost.

But it’s not bad now. No matter what tricks are used, as long as they can achieve the goal, they are good tricks.

After defeating Li Zhichang, while the other two were holding back their opponents, he could free up his hands to open the city gate and let the Mongolian cavalry enter the city smoothly. He would be the first to do the work, which was not bad. At that time, he might be able to compete with King Jinlun for the position of Mongolian National Master.

Unfortunately, although the idea was beautiful, reality slapped Ouyang Lie in the face: Why are you daydreaming in broad daylight?

Li Zhichang really didn't expect that Ouyang Lie, who was considered a martial arts master, would actually use such a despicable trick as hidden weapons. He didn't even use it when he was almost beaten to death last time.

Li Zhichang was not panicked. There were five poison needles in total. He swung the sword back and forth in his hand, blocking four of them. The fifth one came through the gap left by the sword. He had no time to resist, so he just took it head-on.

He leaned slightly to the side and missed the vital point, and the poison needle shot into his shoulder. Li Zhichang turned his true energy, and the poison needle in his body exited from the same place where it entered.

"Li Zhichang, even if you force the poison needle out of your body, what does it matter? It contains my special snake venom, which contains the venom of forty-nine kinds of venomous snakes. Without an antidote, you will die in three breaths. Even if you suppress it with your true energy, you will definitely not last more than a cup of tea. Li Zhichang, you are finished."

Ouyang Lie laughed loudly towards the sky, and his confident look attracted the attention of King Jinlun and Hadabater.

This is good news. Once Ouyang Lie wins, the balance of victory in this war will tilt towards them.

However, neither of them expected that the first person to find a breakthrough would be the weakest Ouyang Lie.

Li Mochou and Guo Jing remained calm and didn't even glance at him.

Would Li Zhichang, who has mastered the fourth volume of the Nine Yang Divine Art, be afraid of your snake venom?

Let alone forty-nine kinds, I wouldn’t be afraid even if there were forty-nine more.

Because of Yin Zhiping, the Nine Yang Divine Art became widely known among the innate strong people for its fast recovery speed of true energy, but many people did not know that the Nine Yang Divine Art also had the effect of being immune to all poisons.

Ouyang Lie actually tried to use poison to deal with Li Zhichang, but was doomed to fail.
