Chapter 39: The Crimson Practitioner Fairy

  Chen Yunfeng nodded slightly and turned his body to flash out of the door. He looked at Li Moyu and asked in a low voice:

  "What brings you, a Taoist nun, here at midnight? Why did you send your disciple to break into someone else's house?"

  "Hahaha..."

  Li Mochou, known as the Red Lotus Master, was a person who never considered others. When Chen Yunfeng jumped out of the house, she knew that Hong Lingbo must have been subdued by Chen Yunfeng. But her personality had always been proud and aloof, so after a cold smile, she calmly said:

  "Surrender Lu Zhishen immediately and release my disciple Hong Lingbo, otherwise I, Li Mochou, will let you know the power of the Red Lotus Sect's techniques."

  "The notorious Honglian Fairy, I originally thought she was an ugly and vicious woman, but unexpectedly, she is as beautiful as a flower. However, her behavior... tsk, tsk, it's indeed consistent with her reputation."

  You want me to yield, I'll yield. But then the Jianghu will say that Chen Yunfeng is afraid of Chi Lian Xianzi. How can I survive in Jianghu from now on?" Chen Yunfeng said with a faint smile and his arms crossed.

  Li Mochou had never been spoken to like that since she debuted, even when meeting with top-notch experts. Chen Yunfeng was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a long sword on his back but not drawn, and he looked like a young rascal with his hands clasped together and speaking with a nonchalant expression. Li Mochou's face changed slightly as she stared at Chen Yunfeng, who had a look of indifference:

  "You little brat is quite arrogant, thinking that secretly plotting against my disciple would allow you to rival me? Don't blame me for being merciless if you die."

  "The Red Immortal Maiden might want to show some mercy, but it doesn't matter. Although you're fifteen or sixteen years older than me, you still look quite decent, and I'd say I'm not at a disadvantage." Chen Yunfeng said with raised eyebrows and a flirtatious tone.

  Li Mochou, although thirty-six or seven, is still a yellow flower old maiden. She has been traveling the world and hasn't been flirted with by people, but Chen Yunfeng wants to provoke Li Mochou, and his words are thoroughly unbridled.

  As he had guessed, Li Mochou's temper remained the same as it was years ago - vengeful and hot-headed. Her eyes glared, her mouth let out a low growl, and with a flick of her wrist, the soft duster in her hand shot towards Chen Yunfeng's chest like a whip.

  Chen Yunfeng's skills were not particularly impressive, the Heaven and Earth Net Hand of the Ancient Tomb Sect and the Beautiful Fist Method were two decent martial arts, but Li Mochou also knew these two martial arts, once he made a move it would be difficult to explain or justify, even if he didn't need to justify himself, he didn't like using his opponent's own martial arts against them.

  Apart from this, he can only use the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms. Although this martial art has a great reputation in Jianghu, not many people have seen it before. Moreover, his current version of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms is a revised and complete edition created by Xiao Feng and Xuzhuangzi. Even if Guo Jing or the still-living Hong Qigong were to see it, they would only be shocked and would not think that he had stolen it from them.

  Li Mochou's Dusting Brush Skill originated from the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, but after modification, her moves became strange and unpredictable, with a sinister and ruthless edge that was far removed from the serene and elegant air of a Taoist nun.

  Chen Yunfeng carefully studied the divine eagle of Jin Dada, and it only mentioned that Li Mochou was deceived by Lu Zhanyuan's emotions, but did not explain where she went afterwards. The origin of the Five Poisons Secret Transmission was also not mentioned, let alone where she became a Taoist nun, only mentioning that she lived in the Purple Cloud Villa, without even specifying its location.

  However, Chen Yunfeng knew that Li Mochou's strongest martial arts were not the ancient tomb sect's methods, but her San Wu San Bu Shou and Wu Du Mi Chuan's martial arts. Chen Yunfeng, who was familiar with the ancient tomb sect's methods, saw that her movements and the direction of her Dust Sweeping Sword were similar to those of the ancient tomb sect's swordsmanship.

  In the blink of an eye, Li Mochou's duster was less than two feet away from Chen Yunfeng, and the silver threads infused with true energy were stretched straight to seal all the acupoints on his chest. This move showed just how venomous the Red Lotus Master's reputation was.

  Chen Yunfeng took a slight step back with his feet, and his right hand made a grasping motion towards his chest. As soon as his palm closed, a scorching True Qi burst out from it. This move, "Kai Long You Hui", was the most powerful explosive technique among the 18 Dragon-Subduing Palms. Chen Yunfeng, who was already close to breaking through to the Super First-Rate Master level, had a palm wind that was vastly different from before;

  A bright red palm force suddenly burst out with a loud "Hong" sound, and a dragon head shook its head and escaped from his palm, rushing towards the dust. Li Mochou had never seen any palm force that could transform into such a shape, nor had she ever fought against top masters like Guo Jing, so she didn't know what kind of skills they possessed.

  Feeling the strong palm wind in the true energy, when the palm wind came rushing, relying on the ancient tomb's extremely high lightness skill, her body retreated and jumped into the air, head down and feet up, rotating downwards, the feather duster in her hand rapidly spinning like a drill bit, rushing towards Chen Yunfeng.

  "Two dragons fetching water."

  Chen Yunfeng let out a low hum, ignoring Li Mochou's rapid descent from the sky. His hands followed the palm technique to gather his true energy, his feet firmly planted in a horse stance, and with a push of his hands upwards.

  Two dragon-shaped true energies intertwined and rose, and in the blink of an eye, they collided with Li Mochou's feather duster. The two true energies churned together, and the feather duster exploded with a loud bang. Li Mochou did not expect Chen Yunfeng to advance fearlessly without retreating. As the two powerful true energies dispersed the feather duster and continued upwards, the Five-Poison Godly Palm that she had gathered in her left hand was quickly struck out.

  "Boom."

  A dull thud echoed in mid-air as Chen Yunfeng's detached true energy collided with Li Mochou's palm, producing a muffled sound. Li Mochou's body flew backward in mid-air, and Chen Yunfeng didn't take advantage of the situation to launch another attack. Instead, he coldly gazed at Li Mochou, who had landed on the ground and taken a small step back, feeling a sense of satisfaction rising within him.

  Li Moyu is now a top-notch master, and after practicing the Cold Jade Bed, her true energy is not lacking. However, when she faced Chen Yunfeng's palm strike, although Chen Yunfeng had the advantage of the Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms technique, Li Moyu attacked from the sky while Chen Yunfeng counterattacked from the ground, and was easily defeated, proving that Chen Yunfeng's skills were not inferior to hers.

  She stood still, Li Mo Xiu secretly sizing up the young man in front of her. His tall and handsome appearance was a given, but his martial arts skills were unknown to her. Born in an ancient tomb, she knew that her true energy increased much faster than others, yet this young man, who was only a few years older than her, had already become a top-notch expert with just one palm strike.

  "Good palm technique, good internal power, I wonder who this young hero learned from?" Li Mochou asked in a low voice, calming down the true energy disturbance caused by their earlier exchange of palms.

  With Chen Yunfeng's current eyesight, he can see that Li Moxiu is adjusting his true energy, but after just two moves, the power of Xiāng Lóng Shí Bā Zhǎng (降龙十八掌) has become very apparent. Although their levels are the same, there is a difference in their martial arts skills. The powerful and fierce Xiāng Lóng Shí Bā Zhǎng never backs down, its force is overwhelming and unstoppable. Li Moxiu's Fú Chén Gōng (拂尘功) relies solely on technique, and this move has revealed the difference between strong and weak.

  "Li Xianzi doesn't need to ask about your lineage, as long as you have the skills, even if you kill me, no one will bother you. However, if you want to take away Wú Shuāng's sister, it depends on whether you have the ability." Chen Yunfeng said in a low voice, seeing that Li Mòqiū's breathing had finally stabilized and her mouth was curved into a smile.
