Chapter 179 Incredible Skills
Xin Zhen waved his hands in boredom and said, "Forget it, just fight, and then go back to sleep."

As he spoke, Xin Zhen walked forward. When Ji Xiaofu saw Xin Zhen walking forward, she was startled and stabbed at Xin Zhen's side with a sword, but her intention was to scare Xin Zhen away and she had no intention of hurting anyone. Xin Zhen's sword arrived first, and the tip of the sword lightly touched Ji Xiaofu's Laogong acupoint. Ji Xiaofu screamed, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.

Xin Zhen kept moving, and after passing Ji Xiaofu, he casually slapped Ding Minjun in the face with a sword. Ding Minjun immediately groaned and fainted on the ground, and a bright red sword mark appeared.

Although Xin Zhen did not kill people indiscriminately, people like Ding Minjun still needed to be taught a lesson.

Xin Zhen continued to walk towards the Taoist with long beard. When the Taoist with long beard saw that the two beauties of Emei were subdued easily, he realized how powerful the little child in front of him was. He did not dare to neglect him at all. He shouted loudly and stabbed at Xin Zhen with his sword.

Xin Zhen took a look and found seven or eight flaws. He picked one at random and stabbed it with his sword. The long sword of the Taoist with long beard fell to the ground with a clang. Xin Zhen pointed his sword at the Danzhong acupoint of the Taoist with long beard, and the Taoist with long beard immediately fell limp.

Xin Zhen did not hurt him; the sword only made him temporarily weak.

After knocking down the Taoist priest, two Shaolin monks attacked, wielding swords and Zen staffs.

Judging from his plan, he is thinking of using heavy weapons to force me into a head-on confrontation.

Xin Zhen smiled. With his proficiency in swordsmanship, if he didn't want to engage in combat, even if twenty or thirty people attacked him at the same time, he would be able to remain unharmed. How could he be tricked by these two monks?

Xin Zhen pointed his sword at the hand of the monk holding the sword, and the heavy sword immediately flew into the sky. The monk wanted to force him forward with his fists and feet, but Xin Zhen also pointed his sword at his Danzhong acupoint.

The Zen staff came whistling at Xin Zhen's waist, forcing him to engage his weapons. Xin Zhen did draw his sword, and Monk Peng exclaimed, "Don't take it head-on!"

The monk showed a look of delight. The Zen staff weighed more than a thousand pounds when swung. Even a master like Monk Peng would not dare to take it, let alone the child in front of him?
Xin Zhen smiled, placed his long sword lightly on the Zen staff, and whispered, "Let go!"

The Shaolin monk actually opened his hands very obediently. Xin Zhen picked up the Zen stick, which flew to the top of the forest with a whistling sound, and then fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Xin Zhen looked at the short man wielding the Ditang knife and the two masters using hidden weapons, and said with a smile: "Do you still want to fight? Otherwise, just stop here and take them away."

The short man snorted, crouched down and rolled over from the ground, swung his two swords in circles on the ground and headed straight for Xin Zhen's legs. Xin Zhen smiled and slapped the ground with his sword, just like slapping a fly, and knocked the short man unconscious to the ground.

Suddenly, Chang Yuchun warned loudly: "Young Master, be careful of hidden weapons."

Seven or eight flying knives and countless caltrops came whizzing towards them.

Xin Zhen's long sword passed through the air like a stream of light, making continuous ding-ding-ding sounds and with bits of fire emerging.

Monk Peng opened his mouth wide, extremely shocked. Under the moonlight, someone could actually accurately hit more than a dozen hidden weapons with a long sword!
This was as difficult as using a long sword to cut off the wings of a dozen flying flies. He had never seen such miraculous swordsmanship in his life!
The two masters who used hidden weapons looked ashen. One of them bowed and asked, "Excuse me, what is the purpose of this move, sir?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Broken Arrow Style."

The two looked at each other, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Young Master Zhou, for showing mercy. We will leave now."

The two men hurried over to unblock the Shaolin monk's acupoints, but they worked so hard that their foreheads were sweating but they still didn't even press the acupoints.

Xin Zhen went over to unblock their acupuncture points, and the man with the Ditang knife and Ding Minjun were supported by their companions and left. After seven or eight people left, the forest suddenly became quiet.

Monk Peng came over, and Chang Yuchun quickly clasped his fists again and said, "Chang Yuchun greets Mr. Peng!"

Monk Peng waved his hand and said, "Brother Chang, you don't have to be so polite. You have worked hard in Yuanzhou. Alas, the sect underestimated you. Brother Zhou's swordsmanship is so advanced. You can imagine how advanced Brother Zhou's swordsmanship has reached. He was defeated by the Yuan army. It shows how powerful the masters in the Yuan army are."

Chang Yuchun didn't know how to answer. His lord Zhou Ziwang's martial arts could only be considered mediocre. As for why Zhou Yan's swordsmanship was so superb, it could only be attributed to the Huashan Sect's fighting skills that Zhou Yan mentioned.

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "In a military formation, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, they are useless. You still have to rely on the army."

Saying this, the matter has been exposed.

Monk Peng looked at Xin Zhen and said, "Zhou Yan, please come back with me to the main altar. I will recommend you to Yang Zuoshi, Eagle King, and Dharma King, and ask them to entrust you with important tasks."

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "I was the only one in my family who escaped after the defeat in Yuanzhou. I am temporarily discouraged and want to be quiet for a while. Of course, I also want to practice martial arts well. When my martial arts are fully developed, I will make plans."

Monk Peng nodded and said, "You are disciples of the Maitreya Sect, and you are from an unknown lineage. I can't interfere in your affairs. It's up to you. However, young talents like you are indeed the talents we need for the revival of the Ming Cult. You must not lose heart."

Xin Zhen nodded.

Monk Peng saw that Xin Zhen was not in a good mood to talk, so he did not bother him any more. He just said that he wanted to go to Butterfly Valley to ask Hu Qingniu for treatment. Xin Zhen said that they wanted to rest in the forest for one night, so Monk Peng went to Butterfly Valley by himself.

The next day, Xin Zhen and the other two set out. This place was actually quite close to Butterfly Valley, but Chang Yuchun had not been there for a long time, so they couldn't find him for a while.

It was already late autumn, but the weather near Butterfly Valley was warm, and the mountains and fields were full of flowers, which made Xin Zhen feel very comfortable. He thought it would be nice to live here for ten or eight years.

However, although it was so close, it was still hidden so secretly that we couldn't find the entrance. We saw some butterflies and remembered the name of Butterfly Valley. The three of them followed the butterflies and finally found the path hidden among the flowers.

After entering from the path and walking for a short distance, we saw seven or eight thatched huts beside a clear stream. There were flower beds in front and behind the huts, planted with all kinds of flowers and plants.

Chang Yuchun said happily, "We are here. This is the herb garden where Master Hu grows medicinal herbs."

He walked to the front of the house and said respectfully, "Disciple Chang Yuchun greets Master Hu."

After a while, a boy came out of the room and said, "Come in."

Chang Yuchun took Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo into the thatched cottage, only to see a handsome middle-aged man standing by the side of the hall, watching a boy fanning the fire and boiling medicine. The whole hall was filled with the scent of medicinal herbs.

Xin Zhen smiled in his heart. What the hell are these TV dramas in later generations? How come they found so many ugly guys to play a handsome middle-aged man like Hu Qingniu? It was really enough.
