Master Du’e was about to ascend the tower to find the divine monk Kong Jian when suddenly, a scream echoed from outside.
“Ah…”
Oh no!
Master Du’e thought Ye Qiu had been injured and hurriedly ran out of the Enlightenment Tower, only to freeze in place.
He saw Ye Qiu standing still while Long Wu had been sent flying.
“This…”
Master Du’e thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed them vigorously and looked again.
Long Wu had indeed been sent flying.
“How is this possible?”
“Long Wu is so powerful. How could Benefactor Ye possibly knock him back?”
“What in the world is going on?”
Master Du’e was filled with confusion.
Equally puzzled was Long Wu himself.
“Clang!”
Long Wu crashed to the ground over twenty metres away, feeling as if his entire body had fallen apart.
Ignoring the pain, he quickly scrambled to his feet, staring at Ye Qiu in shock and asking, “How do you have such profound inner strength?”
Ye Qiu grinned. “Guess.”
“Given your age, it’s impossible for you to have such deep inner strength. There must be something strange going on…”
Long Wu stopped abruptly, his eyes narrowing as he roared, “Did that old bald donkey Kong Jian pass his power to you?”
Ye Qiu said in surprise, “You actually guessed it. You old thing, your brain isn’t that dim, but it’s a pity you’re too ugly.”
To hell with you and your ugliness.
Your whole family is ugly!
Master Du’e, overhearing their conversation nearby, paled and thought to himself, “If Master passed his power to Ye Qiu, doesn’t that mean Master’s life is nearing its end?”
With this thought, Master Du’e turned and rushed back into the tower, hurriedly ascending to the fourth floor.
When he saw the divine monk Kong Jian’s ashen face, Master Du’e’s eyes reddened.
“Master, why did you do this?”
Tears fell from Master Du’e’s eyes.
Though he and the divine monk Kong Jian were master and disciple, Kong Jian had treated him exceptionally well. Having lived together for decades, their bond was like that of father and son.
The divine monk Kong Jian said, “My time is near, so it’s better to grant Benefactor Ye a great opportunity.”
“Benefactor Ye is a man of great destiny, with a limitless future. Du’e, if you face difficulties in the future, you can seek Benefactor Ye’s help.”
“There’s no need to feel sad. You should be happy for me, as I will soon go to the Pure Land to meet the Buddha.”
Kong Jian pointed to the spot beside him and softly said to Master Du’e, “Come sit and watch the power of the Six Meridians Divine Sword with me.”
Master Du’e quickly sat beside Kong Jian, and the two looked down at the scene below.
Below the tower.
Ye Qiu beckoned to Long Wu with a finger, saying, “Come here and meet your death.”
His tone was arrogant.
His actions were full of provocation.
Long Wu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly, “Kid, let me tell you, even if you’ve gained that old bald donkey’s power, you can’t possibly absorb it all in such a short time.”
“Besides, fighting isn’t just about strength—it’s also about speed.”
“Now I’ll show you just how fast I am.”
As Long Wu’s words fell, his body turned into a blur, swiftly appearing beside Ye Qiu. His five fingers curled like hooks, aiming for Ye Qiu’s shoulder.
He intended to rip off one of Ye Qiu’s arms.
But just as Long Wu’s hand touched Ye Qiu’s shoulder, Ye Qiu shook his arm, knocking Long Wu’s hand away.
Long Wu seemed to have anticipated this outcome. As he moved past Ye Qiu, his right hand clenched into a fist, striking like lightning towards Ye Qiu’s lower abdomen.
Long Wu sneered.
“Hmph, brute strength alone isn’t enough in a fight. It’s about skill and speed. The martial arts of the world are unrivalled when it comes to speed. I refuse to believe you can block me at this speed.”
Suddenly, the smile on Long Wu’s face froze.
Because his right fist had been firmly grasped by Ye Qiu.
“How is this possible? How can his speed be faster than mine?”
Long Wu was stunned and tried to pull his fist free from Ye Qiu’s grip, but no matter how hard he tried, Ye Qiu’s hand was like an iron clamp, holding his fist tightly.
Long Wu quickly reacted, pressing his left palm towards Ye Qiu’s chest.
If this palm strike landed, Ye Qiu would either die or be severely injured.
Long Wu felt a bit smug, believing that at such close range, with his skills, Ye Qiu couldn’t possibly dodge his palm.
“Kid, who told you to hold onto my fist? Now you’ve outsmarted yourself, haven’t you?”
Long Wu laughed smugly.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a sword’s cry rang out.
Before Long Wu could react, a bloody hole was pierced through his palm, and blood splattered across his face.
“Ah…”
Long Wu screamed in pain.
“Bang!”
Ye Qiu kicked Long Wu, sending him tumbling to the ground.
“Who says the people from the Forbidden City are all masters? In my eyes, they’re just a bunch of trash.”
Ye Qiu mocked, “Long Wu, end your own life!”
“You’re so ugly. If I have to do it, won’t that dirty my hands?”
Damn it, can’t you speak properly?
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Long Wu went mad with rage, roaring three times in succession, scrambling to his feet and lunging at Ye Qiu again.
This time, Long Wu used his trump card.
He employed a terrifying fist technique, with three streams of true qi swirling around his fist. In an instant, the sky was filled with fist shadows, enveloping Ye Qiu.
Boom!
Ye Qiu clashed with Long Wu’s fist, his expression slightly changing.
After receiving Kong Jian’s century of inner strength, not only had his inner power increased, but his physical strength had also grown significantly. Combined with his cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Dragon Technique, the strength in a single arm now reached ten thousand jin.
This was why, earlier, when Long Wu used his full strength, not only did he fail to defeat Ye Qiu, but he was sent flying instead.
But now, after clashing fists with Long Wu, Long Wu didn’t retreat a single step.
Long Wu said darkly, “I was careless earlier, which let you get the upper hand.”
“Now, with the enhancement of three streams of true qi, you can’t do anything to me.”
“Kid, use your strongest move!”
“Otherwise, once I use my other trump cards, you won’t have a chance to strike.”
Ye Qiu suppressed his surprise and said calmly, “I’m afraid if I use my strongest move, you won’t be able to withstand it.”
“What a joke! I’m a peerless master of the Forbidden City. How could I not withstand you?” Long Wu urged, “Hurry up, use your strongest move.”
“Fine, since you want to die faster, I’ll grant your wish.”
After speaking, Ye Qiu raised both hands towards Long Wu.
There was no trace of killing intent in his hands.
Long Wu laughed loudly, “This is your strongest move? It’s laughable, hahaha…”
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a deafening sword cry rang out.
“Six Meridians Divine Sword!”
Long Wu finally realised what was happening, but it was too late. Ye Qiu’s body soared into the air, his fingertips continuously unleashing sword qi, treating Long Wu like a living target.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, six bloody holes appeared on Long Wu’s body.
One of the holes was at Long Wu’s throat.
Bright red blood gushed from Long Wu’s throat, like a broken faucet, unstoppable.
It was a shocking sight!
