N-A-A Chapter 73 Zhong Yuan's Battle Against Tianshan Child Granny!
Chapter 73 Zhong Yuan's Battle Against Tianshan Child Granny!
But then, the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny stood atop the roof tiles of the Great Buddha Hall, her extremely sharp gaze sweeping over the group of martial arts heroes in the courtyard below.
Although the Heavenly Child Granny has the appearance of a child, the domineering aura she exudes is enough to make many people in the martial arts world secretly tremble.
"That Heavenly Mountain Child Granny is truly wicked!"
"Truly a heretical and wicked person!"
"Just who is this Fang Zheng that he deserves such a furious reaction from the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny!"
Many martial arts practitioners looked at each other and whispered among themselves.
The Heavenly Child Granny was incredibly domineering, which truly intimidated many people in the martial arts world.
The two Shaolin masters, Xuanji and Xuantong, who were standing in front of the many martial arts figures, exchanged a glance.
Xuan Tong whispered, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji, do you remember what I told you? Several months ago, at Shuanglin Temple, someone scared away Yan Xingzhou, the Junior Secretary of the Imperial City Guard, with a single sword strike. That person was called Fang Zheng, known in the martial arts world as the 'Deadly Scholar'!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ji's expression hardened, and he said in a low voice, "It's him?"
"Judging from the expression on Tianshan Child Granny's face, today's events are probably quite related to that 'Deadly Scholar' Fang Zheng."
Murong Fu, standing to the side, gently waved his folding fan, a thoughtful look flashing between his brows.
Bao Butong then asked, "What's the prescription?"
"Could it be that young scholar who killed the Four Evils halfway up the mountain just now?"
Feng Bo'e said, "There are many people in the martial arts world with the same name."
"But thinking about it, there probably isn't another one who could be remembered by the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny."
"It seems that this 'Deadly Scholar' and the Heavenly Child Granny have quite a complicated relationship."
Qiao Feng, standing to the side, naturally heard their whispers, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The Deadly Scholar Fang Zheng!
Who is this person?
Qiao Feng also had doubts in his heart.
Zhong Yuan stood at the back of the crowd, and the four Hu Yan brothers beside him all turned their gazes toward him.
Even Mu Wanqing's eyes held a hint of curiosity and surprise as she looked at him.
"Brother Fang..."
"That old hag, is she calling you?"
Hu Yanbao couldn't help but ask Zhong Yuan.
This left Zhong Yuan somewhat helpless.
The Heavenly Child Granny is really something else.
So impatient.
They unleashed their ultimate move right from the start.
So be it.
Then let her know how powerful she is.
More than 30 years ago, the Ming Cult was suppressed on a large scale by the imperial court because of the uprising of the Prince of Dongping.
The Ming Cult's influence in Zhejiang and Fujian was constantly being squeezed and eroded by the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands of Lingjiu Palace led by Tianshan Tonglao.
today.
He then sought revenge for his Ming Cult brothers who had died at the hands of Lingjiu Palace.
next moment.
He laughed heartily and said loudly, "I've long heard of the infamous reputation of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny!"
"Having seen it today, I can confirm its reputation is well-deserved!"
Zhong Yuan said this.
The people around immediately realized that the sound was coming from behind and turned around to look.
But Zhong Yuan looked completely at ease and was about to walk forward.
Xiao Hong, who was originally placed on Zhang Erniu's shoulder by Zhong Yuan, suddenly jumped up and landed on Zhong Yuan's left shoulder.
Although the distance between Zhang Erniu and Zhong Yuan is not far, it is still a significant improvement for Xiao Hong, who is usually clumsy.
Zhong Yuan looked slightly helpless; this little thing was really clingy.
But now is not the time to be clingy.
He picked up Xiao Hong and put her in Mu Wanqing's hand.
In full view of everyone.
Zhong Yuan strode forward.
The group of martial arts practitioners all made way for them.
All eyes fell on Zhong Yuan, some with surprise, some with confusion, some with curiosity, and some with unexpectedness. A variety of emotions were too numerous to describe in a single word.
A young person like Zhong Yuan.
This is not uncommon in the martial arts world.
However, what could possibly enrage Tianshan Tonglao so much that she would shout it out in front of all the heroes of the martial arts world?
There are probably not many.
Many people were whispering among themselves.
Look at Zhong Yuan, he has a long sword hanging at his waist and a cloth bag that is neither too big nor too small.
They appeared completely unafraid, but secretly wondered about Zhong Yuan's background.
In the world of martial arts, there is never a shortage of geniuses who suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Someone whispered.
"This person must be the deadly scholar, Fang Zheng!"
"A few months ago, he scared off Yan Xingzhou, the Junior Minister of the Imperial City Guard, with a single sword strike at Shuanglin Temple, making him famous throughout Jiangnan!"
"I wonder how he offended the Heavenly Child Granny!"
Zhong Yuan strode confidently to the front of the group.
Looking at the Heavenly Child Granny on the eaves, she smiled faintly.
"Grandma Tong, I'm here."
"Now, you are ending your own life!"
"I will eliminate you, this traitor of the Xiaoyao Sect, on behalf of my master, Xiaoyaozi!"
Wow!
These words were spoken.
This immediately astonished the many martial arts practitioners present, who all turned to look at Zhong Yuan.
"What?"
"This Fang Zheng, he and the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny are both disciples of Xiaoyaozi?"
"The Carefree Faction!"
"I've never heard of such a sect before!"
"Just who exactly is this Xiaoyaozi?"
"It's amazing that she was able to teach such formidable characters as the Heavenly Child Granny and the Deadly Scholar Zhong Yuan at the same time."
"This is truly unbelievable!"
"Such a person has absolutely no reputation in the martial arts world!"
"I suppose he must be a peerless master who has been living in seclusion for a long time."
Zhong Yuan remained unfazed, displaying an arrogant demeanor.
On the contrary, this made Tianshan Tonglao even more wary.
Xiaoyaozi of the Xiaoyao Sect!
If you weren't from the Free and Unfettered Sect, you would never know your master's title, Xiaoyaozi!
However, this person spread rumors, claiming that the martial arts manuals in the Langhuan Paradise at the bottom of the Sword Lake Palace were martial arts manuals from various schools and sects in the martial arts world that she had stolen.
This is utter nonsense!
Its heart is awkward!
Li Qiushui!
It must be that bitch Li Qiushui who's pulling the strings behind the scenes!
otherwise!
How could this young man surnamed Fang know about the Xiaoyao Sect or Xiaoyaozi?
That vile woman Li Qiushui doesn't dare to confront me directly, so she's caused all this trouble.
They clearly wanted to take advantage of the approaching time of their rejuvenation to ruthlessly rip off Lingjiu Palace!
today!
She was determined to kill this brat with a single blow in front of all these martial arts heroes!
But before that, a life-or-death talisman must be planted to force him to reveal the mastermind behind it all and wash away the filth that has been spilled on Lingjiu Palace.
otherwise.
When she regains her youth, chaos will surely ensue at Lingjiu Palace!
At that point, she would truly be powerless to reverse the situation.
"Kid!"
"So... you're Zhong Yuan!"
"You're spouting complete nonsense!"
"You are not a disciple of my Free and Unfettered Sect at all!"
"You falsely claim to be my master's closed-door disciple!"
"That's just asking for trouble!"
"Today, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Wow!
As the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny finished speaking...
She transformed into a blur and flew down towards Zhong Yuan.
She was incredibly fast; her figure had barely disappeared before she was already below.
The Heavenly Mountain Child Granny had already mastered the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Supreme Skill to an extremely high level, and her lightness skill was so high that very few people in the martial arts world could match it.
Zhong Yuan was prepared. All he felt was a black shadow flash before his eyes, and a bone-chilling cold force swept over him!
But then he saw that the Mountain Child Granny's five fingers were like hooks, and she grabbed straight at his face.
Her fingers gleamed with a faint black light, and were no more than half a foot from his nose. Even his sideburns were whipped up by the wind from Tianshan Child Granny's fingers.
In an instant, Zhong Yuan's hair stood on end, and his heart skipped a beat.
With light, graceful steps, he had already taken the first step naturally.
The Kan position corresponds to the "Xu" hexagram!
With a light touch of his toes on the blue bricks, his body swayed half a foot to the left like a willow catkin, just managing to dodge the grab.
With a soft "rip", the Heavenly Child Granny's fingertips swept across his right shoulder, and the blue cloth on his right shoulder instantly tore into pieces!
A surge of extremely yang and powerful true energy entered Zhong Yuan's meridians through the opening, causing a slight numbness on one side of his body.
He immediately felt extremely vigilant.
This old hag truly lives up to her reputation; her internal strength is indeed unfathomable.
He truly deserves to be called one of the top martial arts masters in the world today.
Compared to him, Duan Yanqing is simply not worth mentioning!
The oppressive aura emanating from the Heavenly Child Granny!
It was the first time he had ever felt the terror of being between life and death!
He dared not be negligent in the slightest, and with a flick of his right wrist, the longsword was drawn from its sheath with a clang!
The chilling sword light was dazzling, and the move "Heavenly Gate Severing Chu Waves" slashed diagonally at Tianshan Child Granny's wrist!
This is a move in Tang poetry swordsmanship that combines strength and gentleness. Coupled with the refined sword intent, the sword wind already rises before the sword even arrives.
The leaves of the ancient trees planted in the courtyard not far away were shaken by the sword wind and fell down with a whooshing sound.
Tianshan Child Granny saw this.
He let out a soft exclamation, clearly not expecting that Zhong Yuan, at such a young age, would have such a refined sword intent.
Although the sword intent could not harm her.
But she didn't take it head-on. With a light touch of her toes, she floated back three feet, avoiding the sword tip. Then, she unleashed a flurry of palm strikes, instantly unleashing seventeen palm strikes. The palm shadows filled the sky, which was the ultimate move of the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand!
The Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand is said to encompass all fist, foot, and weapon techniques. Each move is unpredictable. Just now, the palm seemed to be aimed at the lower abdomen, but in the middle of the move, it suddenly changed its move and grabbed Zhong Yuan's right wrist holding the sword. It was hard to tell what was real and what was fake.
Over the years.
She swept through the martial arts world of Zhejiang and Fujian, and countless people died at her hands.
She never needs a second move to kill!
but!
Today, she made an exception!
Because, although Zhong Yuan is young, he possesses the Lingbo Weibu technique of the Xiaoyao Sect, and his sword intent is sharp.
Ten tricks!
Within ten moves.
She absolutely has to take down this kid!
Use the Life and Death Talisman to temper this brat properly, making him wish he were dead!
Zhong Yuan remained completely calm. Lingbo Weibu was a top-tier lightness skill in the world, allowing him to shift his form with unpredictable movements.
He was not a novice in the martial arts world who had just entered the field.
These past few months.
He is also constantly improving and growing.
If he were still in the same state as when he first came out of Zhenjie Village, he would naturally not dare to provoke Tianshan Tonglao like this!
after all.
Tianshan Child Granny is a truly ruthless and bloodthirsty demon.
It's practically impossible to fool the fully-fledged Tianshan Child Granny with mere deception.
The fully evolved Tianshan Child Granny is essentially a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Unless the Heavenly Child Granny is in a state of rejuvenation, it is almost impossible to survive against her.
But right now.
He is no longer the novice he once was.
He trained diligently in Snake Valley for three months, greatly increasing his internal strength and acquiring the supreme secret scripture, the Heart King Scripture.
He also possesses the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), Feilong Zaitian (a martial arts technique), and Longzhao Shou (a martial arts technique), all combined into one body.
His mastery of swordsmanship is what he is most proud of.
Now that he dares to stand up, he must have the confidence to walk away unscathed.
He wanted to see just how far he could go in a fight against a top martial arts master like the Heavenly Child Granny.
He weaved through the barrage of palm strikes, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the west, sometimes in front, sometimes behind, his figure like a fish swimming in the water!
No matter how fast Tianshan Child Granny's palm strikes were, they could only brush past his clothes, not even touching a single thread of fabric.
now.
The crowd of martial arts heroes who had gathered to watch looked at the temple in front of the main hall.
Their figures flickered, leaving only two afterimages as Tianshan Tonglao and Zhong Yuan continued their relentless attack.
Everyone was utterly shocked.
"This Heavenly Child Granny is truly terrifying!"
"His lightness skill cannot be described simply as outstanding."
"That Fang Zheng is so young, he looks to be only about twenty years old at most, yet he was able to fight the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny to a standstill despite her incredibly fast and powerful techniques!"
"Truly, a person's reputation is well-deserved!"
"In the past, I only knew that there were 'Qiao Feng of the North' and 'Murong of the South' in the martial arts world!"
"Now it seems that this deadly scholar, Fang Zheng, may not be inferior to the two of them!"
"Yes, such a person, given time, will surely become a very important figure in the martial arts world."
Many people in the martial arts world admire Zhong Yuan's skills.
Murong Fu heard the hushed discussions around him, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
He didn't know how skilled Qiao Feng was.
But to be ranked alongside him, Murong Fu, is certainly no small feat.
He admitted that this deadly scholar Fang Zheng was quite skilled in martial arts, but he wanted to be on par with him, Nan Murong.
It's still not quite there!
there.
The four brothers, Hu Yanbao and Hu Yanhu, couldn't help but feel worried for Zhong Yuan as he fought fiercely against Tianshan Tonglao in the midst of a perilous situation.
They knew Zhong Yuan was powerful, but the speed at which Tianshan Tonglao attacked was unlike anything they had ever seen before, displaying the demeanor of a top-tier martial arts master.
They were all a little worried, wondering if Zhong Yuan could hold out against the Heavenly Child Granny.
There was also worry in Mu Wanqing's eyes, and she kept a hidden arrow in her sleeve ready at any time.
Qiao Feng's gaze remained calm as he looked at the two figures in the arena, showing only admiration.
He secretly thought.
This deadly scholar is indeed a capable man.
Even at his age, he wasn't as formidable as this deadly scholar.
The martial arts skills of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny are truly terrifying; if things continue like this...
That deadly scholar, Fang Zheng, probably wouldn't last more than thirty moves against his opponent.
now.
Regardless of what the onlookers thought or how they viewed it.
Zhong Yuan was fully engaged in the battle of magic against Tianshan Tonglao.
The Heavenly Child Granny seemed determined to capture him alive.
He was given a chance.
His long sword was never idle; he unleashed move after move of the Tang Poetry Sword Technique.
"The tide is calm and the banks are wide" draws away the opponent's palm strike, "The wind is fair and the sail is full" strikes straight for the open center!
Each sword strike was perfectly timed, striking precisely during the gaps in Tianshan Tonglao's attack patterns, forcing her to retaliate.
