Chapter 58: Ouyang Ke

  Damn it!

  This hint means that if I were to practice garbage martial arts, then in these twenty or thirty years of cultivation, there wouldn't be much actual internal power.

  I'm in trouble, where can I find a profound inner skill? The Small Unhindered Skill can enhance my internal strength cultivation, but it doesn't have the first step! The Nine Yin Scripture does have an Easy Tendon and Hard Bone chapter, but is this world's Nine Yin Scripture still engraved on ancient tombstones? Fairy sister, please send me home, I'm so hurt!

  Wait, didn't Qiao Feng's internal energy used to be terrifying?

  Thinking of this, Chen Xiao quietly poked Qiao Feng's arm and asked in a low voice: "Qiao brother, what kind of internal skill are you practicing? Your Dragon Subduing Palm requires high internal energy, right?"

  Qiao Feng smiled and said, "I originally practiced Shaolin Kung Fu, but later I modified it myself. Well, it shouldn't be inferior to those profound internal skills of Shaolin."

  It turns out that Qiao Er Ge seems to have developed this higher-level mind method based on a common internal skill heart method.

  Now Chen Xiao truly admired Qiao Feng's talent for martial arts, and secretly thought: "If Second Brother Qiao can do it, I'll try too, shouldn't be a problem. Heh heh, first let me find a copy of the inner strength technique..."

  Just as he was thinking about this, suddenly two men in tattered clothes and beggar-like appearance rushed towards him on the main road. The two men displayed their lightness skills and arrived in front of him in a flash. They bowed together, and one of them said: "Reporting to the leader, Murong Fu from Suzhou has arrived at 'Daiyi Branch' with two good hands and another white-clothed man. Jiang Zhen, the branch leader, learned that the leader is here and specially sent his subordinates to inform him."

  Murong Fu has actually come in person!

  Qiao Feng furrowed his brow and said, "I'll go take a look." He hastened to leave, fearing that something big would happen, but still didn't forget to tell the two of them, "These few are all my good brothers, you two bring them over."

  The two men's faces showed joy, and they responded in unison: "Yes!" They respectfully bowed to Chen Xiao and the others, saying: "Boss Qiao will go ahead first, please wait here for a moment."

  Two men led the way ahead, walking for a while before turning left and making their way onto the winding country paths. This area was all fertile land with crisscrossing rivers and canals everywhere.

  After walking for a while, they bypassed an apricot forest and heard a magnetic male voice saying: "Qiao Bangzhu, Murong brother came here to find you in person. You didn't even mention courtesy, why did you surround us?"

  Chen Xiao listened to this voice, feeling curious in his heart, and didn't know if the person speaking was indeed Murong Fu, who was known as "using one's own way to deal with oneself", along with Qiao Erge. As he turned around the apricot forest, Chen Xiao first saw four white-clad women standing far away on one side.

  Those women in white clothes were all twenty-two or three years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. Looking at the precious fox fur on the necks of the four people, a figure suddenly appeared in Chen Xiao's mind.

  Walking a few more steps forward, I saw four men surrounded by a group of beggars of all sizes in the center.

  The first person was handsome, holding a folding fan in his right hand, wearing a blue long gown, with a Han jade ring on the index finger of his left hand, smiling at Qiao Feng standing in front of him.

  Another man wore a long gown with white satin and gold thread embroidery, with a light cloak and a slow belt. He held a folding fan in his hand, and his demeanor was very elegant. He was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with slanted eyes and a handsome face, yet he also had an air of heroism that was intimidating. His attire and adornment made him look like a rich and noble prince.

  One was a thin, sallow-faced middle-aged man with an extremely tall stature, wearing a long grey robe, and his face wore a stubborn and obstinate expression. The other person had a small and slender build, about thirty-two or three years old, with sunken cheeks, two mouse-tail whiskers, drooping eyebrows, and a very ugly appearance.

  Chen Xiao thought to himself, "It's really Ouyang Ke! How did he end up with Murong Fu? Is the tall one Bao Butong? And is the thin one Feng Boe?"

  At this time, Wang Yuyan, A Zhu, and A Bi also saw Murong Fu early. Wang Yuyan let out a soft cry of "ah" and ran towards Murong Fu, saying: "Cousin, how did you end up here?"

  But unexpectedly, Chen Xiao cursed inwardly before Murong Fu could even respond.

  Murong Fu is still a gentleman to Wang Yuyan, but Ou Yangke is not so easy to say. This guy is more lustful than Tian Boguang, at least Tian Boguang has reformed now, but Ou Yangke is absolutely irredeemable, a thoroughly lecherous fellow through and through.

  As expected, Ouyang Ke was taken aback by Wang Yu Yan's nearly flawless face and his eyes lit up. He stretched out his hand to block her path, then made a gentlemanly bow with his fists clenched, while his eyes remained fixed on Wang Yu Yan's face. "I am Ouyang Ke from the White Camel Mountain of Western Regions," he said. "May I know how this beautiful maiden is called?"

  But Wang Yuyan saw Murong Fu, and she didn't care about anyone else, nor did she answer their questions. She just ran to the front of Murong Fu and asked softly: "Brother, have you been well these days?"

  When Wang Yuyan saw Murong Fu, she was both surprised and delighted in her heart. However, Murong Fu didn't answer her question, but instead said to Ouyang Ke: "This is my younger sister-in-law, surname Wang, named Yuyan."

  He didn't respond to Wang Yu Yan, and Wang Yu Yan suddenly felt greatly disappointed. But then she heard Ouyang Ke flattering her, saying: "Ah, gentle and elegant, with a smile so charming, Miss Wang's name is truly pleasant to hear."

  Murong Fu said: "My cousin is beautiful, and her name is naturally very good."

  The two of them sang and harmonized there, but Wang Yuyan felt that Murong Fu didn't truly have her in his heart, and she couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

  Qiao Feng stood by, watching with a cold eye. Seeing Ouyang Ke's anxious expression as soon as he saw Wang Yuyan, he thought that this person was not good. His impression of Murong Fu also worsened somewhat. He said calmly: "Brother Murong has arrived at the right time. Our brothers in the gang have always suspected that you killed our vice-gang leader. Now that Brother Murong is here, we can naturally resolve this matter."

  Murong Fu rushed to Xiao Feng, clasped his fists and said: "Brother Qiao's question is exactly the purpose of my visit today. To know that when Vice Master Ma of your sect unfortunately encountered difficulties, I was..."

  The Beggar Clan has a large number of people, so in addition to helping Qiao Feng, there are also two deputy leaders, namely Ma Daoyuan and Hong Qi Gong.

  However, in terms of martial arts skills, Ma Tai-yuan was actually much weaker than Hung Chi-kung.

  He spoke of evidence that he was not present at the time, but Wang Yuyan saw that his attention had never been on her, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, silently lowering her head and walking to one side.

  Duan Yu watched from a distance with a heart that was both sour and painful, Chen Xiao saw his pale face and knew he was hurt by love, also knowing there was nothing to be done.

  It was at this time that Lao Wanzong pulled Chen Xiao's arm and said, "Fifth brother, hehe, they are discussing official business over there, you might as well take this opportunity to teach me the Flame Blade, okay? Just teach me some postures for circulating energy."

  He didn't believe Chen Xiao could understand the profound cultivation method of Huo Yan Dao, so he just asked for a pose when operating Huo Yan Dao.

  Chen Xiao listened with a smile and thought to himself, "This old man has always been fond of playing tricks, I might as well just trick him once, heh heh."

  "Now, Big Brother Zhou, shall I teach you now?"

  The old naughty boy nodded and said, "Teach now!"

  Chen Xiao pulled the old stubborn child to a remote place with no one, and said: "This flame knife is particular about running the internal force from the foot's three yang meridians first, then turning to the foot taiyin spleen meridian, after that gathering in the dantian, transporting from the dantian to the xiongzhong, and then circulating from the xiongzhong to the double arm hand three yang meridians."

  The old man listened to what he said, and without caring whether it was right or wrong, he practiced a few rounds according to his words. Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? Haha, this is fun! My palms are actually getting hot!"

  Here is the translation:

  "Speaking of which, Old Stubborn Child's eyes stared tightly at Chen Xiao, and he chuckled: "Fifth Brother, your Flame Knife's cultivation method, shouldn't be fake, right? Ah, I've practiced it for a bit and already have results. If you say this method is fabricated, I think that's highly unlikely."

  Chen Xiao smiled and glanced at the old man, saying those words that have been passed down for thousands of years: "No matter if it's a black cat or white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat - Brother Zhou, do you want to continue listening?"

  Zhou Botong was initially just having fun, but unexpectedly actually achieved some results, and he became so excited that his beard and eyebrows flew up. He grabbed Chen Xiao's arm and asked urgently: "What's next? What's next?"

  Chen Xiao subconsciously wanted to say "there's nothing below", but thinking that saying this would make the old rascal furious, he endured his smile and said: "Then run your internal energy to the Erjian, Sanjian, and Hegu acupoints on the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, and silently think about shooting out the true qi in your mind. Brother Zhou, why don't you give it a try?"

  Zhou Botong hesitated for a moment, then followed the method and circulated it. After all his internal energy was concentrated on the Erjian, Sanjian, and Hegu acupoints, he suddenly swung his hand and instantly heard a "whooshing" sound. To his surprise, he actually managed to produce a miniature flame knife palm wind!

  Although Qiu Mozhui, as one of the six ultimate masters, has a more powerful and specialized internal energy than Zhou Botong, Zhou's internal energy path is not very compatible with this flame knife, so its power is naturally much inferior.

  But Zhou Botong didn't care about all that, he thought this martial art was quite fun, hahaha laughing as he swung one knife and then another. At this moment, suddenly heard from the other side, Duan Yu loudly shouted: "Ouyang Ke, what are you doing?"

  Chen Xiao turned her head and saw that Ouyang Ke wanted to pull Wang Yuyan's hand, but was blocked by Duan Yu.

  At first glance, Chen Xiao knew that this matter would not be easily resolved when he saw Ouyang Ke. This Ouyang Ke was a standard scoundrel, especially with the backing of Xi Du, one of the Four Extremes, who had always been lawless and unscrupulous.

  Not to mention a Wang Yuyan, even Huang Rong, the daughter of Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi, had been on his mind.

  Now seeing Wang Yuyan who looks like a fairy sister, Ou Yang Ke's urine nature can hold back, Chen Xiao's name is written in reverse.
