Chapter 89 – Heavenly Dragon (18)
Duan Yu said to Xiao Feng in a whisper, “Big Brother, you do not know of this but Second Brother is Miss Lin’s junior sect brother and very capable.”
“Oh?” Xiao Feng was startled for a moment. While he did not know how a monk had become Lin Yu Tong’s junior sect brother, now was not the time to talk. Seeing Murong Fu and You Tan Zhi come, Xiao Feng pushed Duan Yu to the side of the Khitan warriors he had brought along and ordered, “Protect my third brother well.”
Then he went to face them. A fight between such experts was very rare. Lin Yu Tong just quietly watched, and analyzed their moves.
Murong Fu and You Tan Zhi attacking Xiao Feng together meant that they should have the advantage. However, Murong Fu had too many thoughts. He feared that after he and You Tan Zhi defeated Xiao Feng, the other would become his enemy. He planned to have You Tan Zhi and Xiao Feng both get wounded.
Right now, You Tan Zhi was the leader of the Beggar Sect just in order to have Azi look at him. He did not have any strong thoughts of fighting. Adding on that Azi was very close to Lin Yu Tong, and Lin Yu Tong was clearly on Xiao Feng’s side, he was fighting, but not very hard and not with killing moves. Xiao Feng was one who separated his grudges and favors. The other did not fight hard, and he would not fight hard. The two did not seem to be having a hard fight, but a spar. Xiao Feng even seemed to be teaching You Tan Zhi as they moved. Everyone saw clearly, and could understand what was going on. Quan Guan Qing was about to speak when suddenly there was a cold gaze. He turned to look. Lin Yu Tong was playing with a pine ball. He had seen Lin Yu Tong use pebbles to pierce Ding Chun Qiu’s throat. Using a pine ball to shut him up forever may not be a hard thing. He shrank back, and immediately did not dare to make a sound. Power was important, but his life was more important.
Even the two masters of the Hero Gathering Manor did not dare to shout about what to do with Xiao Feng.
Murong Fu panicked seeing this and was about to attack.
Suddenly, Duan Yu charged over. “Young Master Murong, you and my big brother are equal in reputation. A match one on one will be fair. This is taking advantage of another’s situation, do you not feel that this embarrasses Young Master Murong’s reputation?”
“What, Young Master Duan is about to fight? Then this one will learn from Young Master Duan’s moves,” Murong Fu said and attacked.
Duan Yu was caught off guard and could only use the Gentle Wave Step to dodge. The Gentle Wave Step had originated from the Eight Trigrams. It was fast, but there were weaknesses. True experts did not look at the figure of the person, but judged by presence. It would not be easy to dodge. Murong Fu was clearly an expert. He caught an opening and with a strike, he knocked Duan Yu to the ground, stepping on him. He saw that Duan Yu was not panicking, and just looked at Wang Yu Yan at the side.
He was furious and mocked, “If you call me grandfather, I will release you.”
Duan Yu felt that he had some relationship with Wang Yu Yan after being through life and death ordeals, and she would not watch him die. But seeing that Wang Yu Yan did not even look at him, just staring at Murong Fu, he found it dull.
Lin Yu Tong could not imagine such strange ways of thinking, being stepped on by a competitor in front of the woman he loved. He did not want to resist, he just wanted to die.
She heard Duan Yu say, “If you want to kill, just kill, there is no need for such humiliation.”
Murong Fu laughed coldly and was about to press down with his foot.
The South Sea Crocodile Deity jumped over. “Do not harm my master.”
Lin Yu Tong used a “secret voice” to say to Duan Yu. “If you die a sorry death like this, Miss Wang will look down on you. What is your Six Meridian Divine Sword for, you do not know to fight back?”
Hearing Lin Yu Tong’s voice by his ear, Duan Yu immediately shot up and glanced in Lin Yu Tong’s direction. Seeing her far away, and the other people did not seem to hear, he immediately understood what had happened. He did not feel well thinking that Miss Wang would look down on him. Seeing that Yue Lao San was unable to last, he panicked, and charged with the sword energy of the Six Meridian Divine Sword.
Yue Lao San feared such a sword energy. Seeing that Duan Yu was fighting back, he jumped out of the ring.
Murong Fu was strong, but the Six Meridian Divine Sword used invisible sword energy to harm. Also, the change in the move was just in the inches in front of a person’s fingers. It did not spin back and forth like a sword or a spear. It was peerless in its ability to change.
You Tan Zhi saw that Xiao Feng’s attention was all on Duan Yu and knew that Azi was Duan Zheng Chun’s daughter. Clearly, this Duan Yu was Azi’s older brother. He did not linger. “Warrior Xiao is very skilled. This one admits defeat.”
He did not know that his actions won the positive feelings of most elders and disciples of the Beggar Sect.
Xiao Feng nodded and said to You Tan Zhi. “Sect Leader You is not unskilled, but you are not as experienced. One day, you will be above this one.” He gave You Tan Zhi a lot of face.
The two exchanged pleasantries and then bowed, leaving. Xiao Feng looked towards Duan Yu and Xu Zhu. He saw that Xu Zhu was using the basic arts of the Shaolin Temple to beat Jiu Mo Zhi to the point he could not fight back. He was just used to being kind and was not willing to kill. Otherwise, Jiu Mo Zhi would have died long ago. He looked at Duan Yu’s Six Meridian Divine Sword. It was peerless in power. Murong Fu only dodged, and was unable to fight back. But Duan Yu had not mastered his sword skill. He reminded, “Second Brother, try another sword move.”
Duan Yu heard this, and his sword energies were even more impenetrable. Murong Fu’s sword and his coronet were all sliced apart by Duan Yu’s sword energy.
“Young Master Duan, please have mercy,” Wang Yu Yan immediately said.
Lin Yu Tong found it strange. Murong Fu had been about to kill Duan Yu and she did not speak up. Duan Yu was about to kill Murong Fu, and she immediately asked for mercy. She was certain of her grip on Duan Yu.
Both were willing. This had nothing to do with other people. At most, Lin Yu Tong would sigh about this.
As expected, Duan Yu stopped and looked at Wang Yu Yan. Murong Fu was very embarrassed, and took his sliced sword to stab at Duan Yu. Duan Yu just managed to dodge. “Stop fighting! Stop fighting!”
Xiao Feng was furious, and grabbed Murong Fu by the waist, raising him above his head. “The other spared your life, you want to kill him. I, Xiao Feng, is a good man, and is ashamed to be known to be your equal.” Then he was about to throw the other man away. With Xiao Feng’s internal energies, this throw was enough to be fatal.
“Do not harm the young master!” Bao Bu Tong and the others called to stop him.
“Cousin!” Wang Yu Yan only paid attention to Murong Fu and forgot about the fact that he had almost killed Duan Yu.
“Big Brother, have mercy.” Azhu pushed aside Ruan Xing Zhu who was pulling her and ran over. “Big Brother, have mercy.”
Xiao Feng had just wanted to lure Murong Bo out. He did not expect such an action to not have done so, but Azhu came to beg for mercy.
“Big Brother, the Murong Family has given me great boons, please have mercy,” Azhu said urgently to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng just controlled his internal energies and threw Murong Fu lightly to the ground, embarrassing him. With his martial skill, wanting to have the other fall was not an easy matter. “Such a villain, killing you will dirty my hands.” He thought, he had to find a different way to find Murong Bo.
Azhu saw Xiao Feng willing to save her young master’s life and was full of sorrow and joy. First, she was grateful for Xiao Feng for thinking of her, but on the other hand, she suddenly felt that she and Xiao Feng were very far away.
Murong Fu only managed to survive twice because women begged for his life. He could not endure such shame, and in fury, was going to use his short sword to kill himself.
Suddenly, a pebble hit the sword, and the sword was shocked out of Murong Fu’s hand, falling to the ground. Then, a man in black jumped to Murong Fu’s side in a few leaps.
“Murong Bo!” Xiao Feng shouted. “You bandit. You are finally willing to show yourself.”
Everyone was shocked.
Murong Bo had not died.
Xuan Ci came out and chanted the name of the Buddha, saying, “Amitabha, Benefactor Murong, you lied to this old monk.”
Murong Fu looked in shock at the man. “You are my father?”
Murong Bo laughed and said, “It is up to heaven to decide success. Never mind……” Then he took off the black cloth from his face. Who was it except Murong Bo?
He did not care about other people’s gazes, and just looked at Lin Yu Tong behind the crowd. He asked, ” Sect Leader Lin, how did you know that this old man was not dead?” It had been this girl to leak the information. However, this girl was a bit queer. Last time, the palm strike did not manage to kill her, and wounded him inside. He had wanted another chance to kill her, but the girl was smart and disappeared. He thought himself a very good mastermind, but had he left behind a clue?
The crowd separated and revealed Lin Yu Tong at the back.
Lin Yu Tong did not fear Murong Bo now and walked over, saying, “I do not have to explain to you how I knew. But, it is time to settle the debt from the palm strike back then.”
“It is not your turn to settle debts, little girl.” A voice came from the distance.
Lin Yu Tong looked at Xiao Feng and said, “Old Hero Xiao, it is time for you to appear.”
“Dad! You are my dad?” Xiao Feng used internal energy to carry his voice. The birds in the forest immediately flew away in alarm.
A black figure quickly appeared in everyone’s sight. In a blink, he appeared in front of them.
Xiao Feng looked up and down. This person’s figure was very similar to his.
That person turned around, and took off the black cloth from his face, revealing a face similar to Xiao Feng. People would not believe it if they said they were not father and son.
Everyone gasped. Today was full of surprises.
“Feng’er, the bandit in front of you is the person who killed your mother. You say, what should we do?” Xiao Yuan Shan asked.
“For the killing of my mother, we cannot live under the same sky,” Xiao Feng looked at Murong Bo and said to Xiao Yuan Shan. “This son has made the trip just for this bandit.”
Murong Bo suddenly reached and Azhu gasped, being caught by Murong Bo.
“Azhu!” Lin Yu Tong paled. Who would have thought that Murong Bo was so shameless?
“Azhu!” Xiao Feng clenched his hands.
Murong Bo laughed. “Sect Leader Lin, I do not know if the life of your sister is important to you?” Then he looked at Xiao Feng. “This miss followed Hero Xiao beyond the passes without abandoning you. Is her life important in your eyes?”
Bao Bu Tong, Feng Bo E and the others changed expression.
Feng Bo E said, “Old Master, Azhu is a member of the family. Please have mercy.”
“Since she is a member of the family, I should determine her fate.” Then, his hands tightened over her neck.
“Azhu……” Ruan Xing Zhu charged over. “You release my daughter. This has nothing to do with her.”
Murong Bo laughed. “I did not expect her to be the daughter of the Zhennan Prince of Dali. It is even better.”
This was a person who was not good at anything, but more than enough to spoil things. Could Duan Zheng Chun not come out now?
He said, “I do not know what Sir wants?”
Murong Bo laughed and said, “Today, the Xiao father and son, Sect Leader Lin wants to make things difficult for us father and son. Of course I want everyone to help us leave the mountain unharmed.”
“Never!” Xiao Yuan Shan sneered and said, “Just a girl, you can kill her if you want.” He looked at Xiao Feng and said, “He killed your mother. You cannot live under the same sky. My son, Xiao Yuan Shan’s son, is not a sentimental person. Also, a man does not fear not having a wife.”
“Dad! It is not like you think……” Xiao Feng wanted to explain, but was not able to.
Ruan Xing Zhu said, “Hero Xiao, my daughter holds deep feelings to you, you cannot stand by.”
Duan Zheng Chun pulled Ruan Xing Zhu and glanced at Lin Yu Tong. Then he said to Murong Bo, “Azhu is my daughter, but I am a prince of Dali. I must put the greater good above my own. This relates to the matters between the Liao and Song, this one cannot say more.”
He let go. One, he knew that Lin Yu Tong would save Azhu. Also, when Duan Yu had almost been killed, Azhu did not say a thing, but when it came to Murong Fu, she had asked for mercy. In his view, Azhu had deep feelings with the Murong Family.
Ruan Xing Zhu collapsed in Duan Zheng Chun’s arms and sobbed.
A hint of scorn flashed through Lin Yu Tong’s eyes. At this time, knowing that you were not a match, even if you risked your life, you should save your child. She just knew to cry. What was the use?
Duan Zheng Chun comforted in a whisper, “Do not worry, there is Tong’er.”
Lin Yu Tong thought, you really have a high opinion of me.
Azhu looked at Lin Yu Tong and a hint of sadness flashed through her eyes. She recalled what Lin Yu Tong had said in the past, to not have high hopes for her parent.
At the other side, Azi saw the situation and bit her finger, calculating. Seeing You Tan Zhi come over, she said, “I want to save my sister, will you help?”
“Miss Azi’s matters are my matters. I will do what you tell me.” You Tan Zhi looked at Azi’s beautiful face and said.
Azi smiled at You Tan Zhi and said, “That is good, that is good.”
“Sister, Big Brother, never mind me.” Azhu looked at Lin Yu Tong and Xiao Feng. “The Murong Family saved my life, I will just return to them.” Her feelings for the Murong Family had reached an end now.
Lin Yu Tong had not thought of what to do, and Xiao Yuan Shan could not endure the feelings. Other people cared about Azhu’s life, he did not. Without any ability to protect herself, she should not have come and meddle in such matters. He had seen it when this girl came to beg mercy for Murong Fu.
He did not care, and sent a strike. Murong Bo and Xiao Yuan Shan should have been about equal in martial skill, but right now, Xiao Yuan Shan did not care and Azhu became a burden in the way so he could not move. He pushed Azhu towards Murong Fu. Lin Yu Tong’s pine ball shot towards Murong Fu. Then, she leapt forward. She controlled Murong Fu. Xiao Feng went and caught Azhu, throwing her towards Duan Zheng Chun. He said, “This time, keep an eye on her.”
Azi snorted to Azhu. “If you are not capable, why force yourself? Father and Mother cannot save you, and will feel self-recrimination. If Sister watched you die at someone else’s hand and could not save you, will she not feel guilty for a lifetime? What is the good in having good intentions, you do the opposite of helping.”
“Azi!” Ruan Xing Zhu lectured in displeasure.
Azi turned her head and pulled You Tan Zhi to do something else.
Lin Yu Tong and Murong Fu exchanged a palm strike. This time, it was head on, and they competed in internal energies. Her experience could not rival Murong Fu. Murong Fu was sent a dozen paces back, and blood seeped out of his mouth. He suddenly leapt up to chase after Murong Bo and Xiao Yuan Shan.
Xiao Feng gave chase. Lin Yu Tong was very curious about the Sweeping Monk and followed. She saw Murong Bo and Xiao Yuan Shan get instantly KO-ed by the Sweeping Monk and learned that she had just entered the door to martial arts.
The two, having died once, put down the hate inside, and the other the empire he wanted. Lin Yu Tong found it very wondrous. She had died once, but why did she have so much she could not put down?
Xiao Feng saw Xiao Yuan Shan like this and sighed as well.
Murong Fu looked with hate at the Sweeping monk and quickly left.
Xiao Feng kowtowed to Xiao Yuan Shan outside his room and stood to leave. He walked to Lin Yu Tong’s side. “Sister, this time, it is all thanks to you.”
Lin Yu Tong smiled and walk with Xiao Feng off the Shaolin mountain. She asked, “Big Brother, are you returning to the Liao?”
