Chapter 387 Tan Qing shows his sharp edge! (Part )
Xuan Ci said: "I will use my sect's Great Vajra Fist to counter the gang leader's Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms, and use the Demon Subduing Zen Staff to counter the gang leader's Dog Beating Stick.
Alas, the Shaolin Sect and your sect have been friends for generations, and we have always exchanged and studied these martial arts, but have never used them in hostile combat. I am unethical, and I am ashamed of the successive leaders of the Beggars' Sect and the successive heads of the Shaolin Sect."
Xin Zhen smiled in his heart. Xuan Ci seemed to be an upright man, but in fact he was very cunning. He probably saw that Qiao Feng was forced away by the Beggars' Sect, and that You Tanzhi was too young and probably didn't know the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms or the Dog Beating Stick, so he used words to freeze You Tanzhi.
Xuan Ci put his palms together, which was the starting posture of the Vajra Fist "Saluting to the Tathagata". His face looked amiable, but the straps of his monk's robe shot straight to the left and right, showing that this move contained extremely deep internal strength.
You Tanzhi didn't say anything else. He chopped out in the air with his left hand and followed with his right palm with extreme swiftness. The force from the left palm was initiated first but arrived later, while the force from the right palm was initiated later but arrived first. The two forces intertwined forward, which was extremely strange.
The power of their fists and palms met halfway, and with a sound of "bo", they canceled each other out, but two "chi" sounds were heard, and the two ends of Xuan Ci's waist belt broke at the same time and flew about a foot to the left and right.
The power of You Tanzhi's two palms reached a wide range. The force attacking Xuanci's body was dissipated by the defensive posture of "Paying Homage to the Tathagata", but the belt that Xuanci had floated to his side was broken by his palm power.
Xin Zhen exclaimed, wondering where did You Tanzhi learn the martial arts of the Xingxiu Sect? He didn't seem to see You Tanzhi when he was in the Tianlongdiya Valley. Ding Chunqiu was dead, so who did he learn it from?
When the Shaolin monks and the heroes saw it, they all shouted: "This is the evil martial arts of the Xingxiu Sect!" "It's not the 28 Dragon Subduing Palms!" "It's not the Beggars' Sect's Kung Fu!"
When You Tanzhi heard the loud shouts of the crowd, he couldn't help but hesitate and couldn't use his second move.
Amid the noise and shouting, suddenly the sound of horse hooves like thunder was heard from the foot of the mountain, and two horses came up the mountain like a gust of wind.
The man was like a tiger and the horse was like a dragon. The man was agile and the horse was majestic. Both horses had tall heads and long legs, and were covered with black hair. When they ran closer, the heroes' eyes lit up and saw a golden glow. They saw that the edges of the horseshoes of the two horses were inlaid with gold.
The people who came were naturally Qiao Feng and Azhu.
Qiao Feng's arrival immediately caused even louder commotion in the venue. The reactions of the heroes varied. Some greeted loudly, while others cursed loudly. However, Qiao Feng paid no attention to them. With a quick glance, he saw Xin Zhen, who was standing alone in the crowd.
Qiao Feng was immediately overjoyed and said, "Brother Xin, you are really here!"
Xin Zhen smiled, his figure flashed, and he moved through the crowd like a ghost. Wherever he passed, the people who tried to stop him felt as if they were in a rapid stream, being pushed away involuntarily, but they did not feel any pain.
In just a moment, Xin Zhen arrived in front of Qiao Feng and Aju's horse.
Qiao Feng and Ah Zhu quickly dismounted. Qiao Feng put his arms around Xin Zhen and said happily, "Brother, I see you again!"
Xin Zhen smiled and nodded, "How did Brother Qiao know I was here?"
Qiao Feng grinned and said, "I went to Gusu to look for you. Your disciples said you came to Shaolin Temple, so I followed you here."
Xin Zhen looked at Qiao Feng and saw that although he looked tired, he was in high spirits. He thought that he had become more open-minded. Then he saw that Ah Zhu was shy and timid. He thought that the two of them had already accomplished something good. He immediately smiled and said, "Should I call Miss Ah Zhu my sister-in-law?"
Ah Zhu was immediately embarrassed, but Qiao Feng just laughed: "Well, brother, now that the matter is settled, I will treat you to a drink. I am not tolerated in the Central Plains now, so I am afraid that few people will come to treat me to a drink. This is unfair to your sister-in-law."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "What is there to worry about? After this matter is settled, my elder brother and his wife will follow me to Gusu. My hundreds of disciples and thousands of followers all admire Master Qiao very much. Who among them would not be so happy to drink Master Qiao's wedding wine that they would even drink two jars of wine?"
Qiao Feng laughed out loud. He was very happy to see Xin Zhen again.
Just as the two brothers were talking, they suddenly heard someone in the crowd shouting, "This person is familiar to Qiao Feng, and his surname is Xin. Could he be the Sword Demon Xin Zhen?"
Then someone shouted, "Yes, it's him, Sword Demon Xin Zhen! You killed my brother, and my blood feud has not been avenged yet. I will fight you today."
Then someone else shouted, "Qiao Feng is a Khitan barbarian. Anyone can kill him. Today, he must not be allowed to leave Shaoshi Mountain alive."
Someone else shouted, "Everyone, come together and kill them all!"
But there was a chorus of shouting, some people scolded Xiao Feng for killing his son, some scolded Xin Zhen for killing his father.
Xin Zhen killed and wounded quite a few people in the battle at Juxianzhuang that day, but no one seemed to recognize him before. Although Xin Zhen could not be ignored, everyone's attention was still on Shaolin monks like Xuan Ci. It was not until the arrival of Qiao Feng that someone revealed Xin Zhen's identity.
Among the heroes gathered on the Shaoshi Mountain, many were relatives or old friends of the deceased. Although they were afraid of Xin Zhen, they could not help shouting and cursing at him when they thought of the blood feud between their relatives and friends. The shouts became louder and louder.
When everyone saw that Xin Zhen was only accompanied by Duan Yanqing and his disciples, and that he had grudges against both the Beggars' Sect and the Shaolin Sect, a fight broke out. Thousands of Beggars' Sect disciples, heroes, and Shaolin monks besieged Xin Zhen and Qiao Feng. Even if they really had extraordinary abilities, they would not be able to escape.
As the momentum grew, everyone became braver.
Qiao Feng said to Xin Zhen, "Brother, I will lead the way, you follow me, we will fight our way out together!" Xin Zhen laughed and said, "Brother Qiao, what is the purpose of coming to Shaolin? Why don't you finish your business before leaving?"
Ah Zhu said, "Brother Qiao heard that you came to Shaolin, and also learned that many heroes gathered here. If your identity was recognized, you would definitely encounter this situation, so we kept rushing and finally arrived."
Xin Zhen couldn't help but be moved. It turned out that being Qiao Feng's brother was really good. Even though he knew that Shaolin Temple was a dangerous place, he still came here without hesitation.
Xin Zhen was about to tell Qiao Feng not to worry, but before he could say anything, someone came out and said loudly, "Brother Xiao, you are a Khitan hero, and you look down upon the heroes of the Central Plains. I, a mere Gusu Murongfu, would like to learn from you today.
I died at the hands of Brother Xiao, which can be regarded as a small contribution to the heroes of the Central Plains. It is an honor to die."
He actually said these words to the heroes of the Central Plains. In this way, regardless of victory or defeat, the heroes of the Central Plains would regard the Gusu Murong clan as friends of life and death.
Although the heroes wanted to fight, no one dared to step forward and challenge first.
Everyone knew that although they would eventually kill him in the end, dozens of people above them would also have to die. At this time, they suddenly saw Murong Fu coming on the field, and they couldn't help but feel relieved and their spirits were lifted.
"Qiao Feng in the north, Murong in the south", the two have always been equally famous. Murong Fu took the initiative to attack, and even if he was defeated in the end, he had already killed the opponent's fierceness and consumed a lot of his internal energy. Instantly, cheers resounded throughout the field.
Qiao Feng was startled when he heard this. He clasped his hands together and was about to speak when someone chuckled. Although the sound was soft, it was clearly heard by everyone.
"Gusu Murong Fu? It seems that the Murong family is still reluctant to leave Gusu. If so, we must settle the matter today.
Murong Fu, come here, if you want to take back Pingjiang Prefecture, try your hand with me first."
The heroes looked at the person who spoke, and it turned out to be Tan Qing, the Soul-Chasing Staff holder who was standing next to the evil man.
When the heroes saw this evil person, someone shouted, "It turns out that they are the evil master and disciple Duan Yanqing. They are also evil people and are the same as the sword demon Xin Zhen. Let's kill them together!"
Tan Qing laughed when he heard this and said, "Why, are the heroes of the Central Plains so careless now? They actually want to rely on numbers to win?"
When Qiao Feng saw that it was Tan Qing, he was also surprised. Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I was short of manpower, so I recruited Duan Yanqing and Tan Qing. I checked them out, and they didn't have any serious bad deeds."
Qiao Feng nodded upon hearing this.
At this time Feng Boye shouted loudly: "Tan Qing, the Soul-Chasing Staff, who do you think you are? How dare you fight with my young master? I'll fight you!" After saying that, Feng Boye jumped into the field and chopped towards Tan Qing with one palm.
Murong Fu was not worried. Tan Qing was a well-known figure in the martial arts world, but his strength was not high. Feng Bo'e was more than enough to deal with him. Murong Fu still stared at Qiao Feng and said, "Brother Qiao, please!"
Hardly had he uttered these words when he heard Feng Boye scream. Murong Fu turned around in disbelief, only to see Tan Qing walking towards him, while Feng Boye was lying on the ground.
Tan Qing smiled and said, "Master Murong, our issues have not been resolved yet."
At this time, Gong Yeqian walked to Murong Fu with a serious face and whispered to him, "Tan Qing is quite powerful. He knocked down my fourth brother with just one stick. I will go meet him."
Murong Fu nodded, then stared at Gong Yeqian and Tan Qing.
Bao Bu Tong helped Feng Bo'e back, and Gong Ye Qian and Tan Qing bowed and said, "Please give us your guidance."
Tan Qing nodded, then pointed his stick at Gong Ye Qian. The thin stick was as swift as a dragon and pierced Gong Ye Qian's chest.
Gong Yeqian was not willing to be outdone. He cleverly neutralized Tan Qing's attack by crossing his palms, and then counterattacked, slapping Tan Qing on the shoulder.
Tan Qing dodged the attack with a flash, then swung his staff across with overwhelming force.
Gong Yeqian quickly stepped back a few steps, and slapped out with both palms again, with the wind from his palms whistling and heading straight for Tan Qing's face.
However, the thin staff in Tan Qing's hand seemed to have life, and it drew graceful arcs in the air with ease, easily dissolving Gong Ye Qian's palm technique.
"Huh?" Someone uttered a low cry of surprise. It was Duan Zhengchun's retainer Ba Tianshi. He asked in surprise, "My lord, is this Tan Qing using the Duan family sword technique?"
Duan Zhengchun looked a little doubtful and said, "Very similar. Although he used a thin stick as a sword, it can be seen that it is the Duan family swordsmanship, but there are also great differences. This... this... seems to be much more subtle and profound than our Duan family swordsmanship!"
