Vol.2 – Chapter 98 – Master, you finally came back


Upon recognizing the identity of Zhang Juque, Liu Qin and Lu Xun had no thoughts of resistance in their minds. Their first reaction was to flee.

Although they were both at the early stage of the sixth realm, and Zhang Juque was only at the peak of the sixth realm. Two against one, it didn’t seem like the gap would be that significant.

However, the third and sixth realms were both thresholds in cultivation, and the higher the realm, the greater the potential gap within the same realm.

Some gaps between the sixth realm were even bigger than the difference between humans and dogs. Such was the case between Zhang Juque and them.

The two turned around and flew into the high sky, not even caring about the child Chen Lingtong on the ground. After all, Zhang Juque had a reputation, he wouldn’t hit a child, but he might not be so kind to them.

The two, in a moment of tacit understanding, flew in two different directions, remembering to split up and run!

But escaping was not so easy. Zhang Juque moved, almost without a trace of movement, he had already appeared in the mid-air above Liu Qin’s head.

The speed of his physical burst was almost catching up with the immortal method of shrinking the ground into an inch! It was terrifying! Liu Qin, who was flying face up, suddenly saw a flat patterned shoe sole in front of him.

In the next instant, this shoe sole was imprinted on his face. Boom—Liu Qin’s body fell to the ground at a faster speed than he had taken off, smashing into the hillside and raising a cloud of dust.

Then, Zhang Juque’s figure flickered. Lu Xun was also fast, he had already left the airspace of Silver Sword Peak.

But the old man with the sword on his back only needed to flash once to erase all his efforts. Snap. A big hand grabbed Lu Xun’s ankle, the white-robed man in mid-air paused slightly, and was immediately thrown to the ground.

Boom—He was also smashed next to Liu Qin. The two were embedded in the same pit. Zhang Juque made it look easy, as if it was just two small movements.

But the two cultivators who were hit to the ground couldn’t get up for a while. After a pause, they struggled to stand up.

The old man swung his big sword, also falling to the ground. He was measured in his actions, naturally, he wouldn’t hack these two Shu Mountain disciples to death, but used the back of his door-sized sword to give them a hard slap!

Cough! Two slaps down, the two disciples of Dan Ding Hall were down again. Lu Xun was smarter, he didn’t try to get up this time.

Liu Qin, a bit slower, still wanted to struggle to get up, and got another slap! Zhang Juque seemed to have used no martial arts skills throughout, let alone any profound magical techniques, it was pure speed and power, overpowering them with brute force!

The two disciples of Shu Mountain, who were also in the sixth realm, were like toys in his hands, being squashed and hammered without any room for resistance.

“Bullying the weak… What’s the difference between such a righteous sect and the demonic path?” Zhang Juque said in a deep voice,

“Who is your master, I want to have a good talk with him.” As he spoke, the door-sized sword swung twice more.

Cough!

“Yes, yes, yes! Senior, we were wrong!”

“Senior, stop hitting us!” The two cried out for mercy, not only did Zhang Juque want to find their master, but they also wished their master would appear soon to save them from this predicament.

Meanwhile, Chen Lingtong was quietly retreating. He wanted to slip away. But that annoying Chu Liang suddenly appeared, blocking his way.

Chen Lingtong stared at him in fear,

“What do you want to do? My great-grandfather is an elder of Dan Ding… I, I’m still a child! You can’t hit me!”

“I certainly won’t hit you.

Chu Liang smiled, and snapped his fingers,

“But you trespassed on my Silver Sword Peak, my gatekeeper doesn’t recognize children.” Snap. The huge figure of Jin Mao Xun sprang out from one side, raised a paw, and with a cough—the naughty child screamed “ah—” and flew high into the air, landing dozens of feet away. Chu Liang looked on, shading his eyes with his hand.

“It’s quite high, but it’s still a bit inferior to Little Hakutaku, keep up the good work.

A moment later, Zhang Juque, carrying the unconscious disciples of Dan Ding Hall, headed straight for Tongtian Peak. He was going to take these two disciples to the elder of Dan Ding, and watch him educate them properly. Although this was Shu Mountain territory, and he was a bit lower in seniority than the elder of Dan Ding, it didn’t matter. Zhang the Hero had been traveling the world for years, fighting with reason. Li Fujian followed his master to support the scene, and Yun Zhaoxian stayed at Silver Sword Peak with Chu Liang for a while.

“Brother Chu, after returning to Heavenly Strength last time, I thought about your ‘Brick Fighting Technique’ and came up with a new method.” He said.

“Oh? Brother Yun, please tell.” Chu Liang immediately said.

“The brick as a weapon has two main advantages.” Yun Zhaoxian analyzed seriously, “One is that it is readily available everywhere, but this is not very useful for us. The second is that it is small in size and not easy to detect when used.” Chu Liang nodded.

In close combat, Yun Zhaoxian was a professional. He had used this advantage countless times, slightly diverting the enemy’s attention, and then launching a surprise attack with the demon-reflecting golden brick.

“So in addition to the close combat Brick Fighting Technique, I think it can also be used as a hidden weapon.

Yun Zhaoxian said:

“I can teach you some throwing techniques for this kind of heavy hidden weapon.”

“That would be great.”Chu Liang laughed. For martial artists of this level, using hidden weapons is not as simple as throwing them out with brute force. It involves sophisticated techniques of energy manipulation. Because martial artists are slightly disadvantaged in long-range attacks, some of them indeed use hidden weapons to compensate for the lack of long-range offensive methods. The hidden weapons they launch are incredibly fast! In comparison, the divine power of controlling objects used by cultivators is much weaker in terms of force. Yun Zhaoxian then taught Chu Liang some techniques of using hidden weapons, mainly the application of ‘force’ and ‘qi’. Chu Liang, who had previously studied the flight trajectory of the Flying Leaf Fast Knife, had some experience and learned very quickly.

In less than half an hour, he had practiced to the point where he could hit wherever he pointed within a hundred feet. Compared to simply controlling objects, throwing hidden weapons is much more accurate and requires many times more force!

If he could achieve absolute precision, it would be quite terrifying. In the future, he could officially incorporate a flying brick technique into his brick fighting skills.

“Brother Chu, you really have a talent for martial arts.”

Yun Zhaoxian couldn’t help but sigh,

“If you can’t pass the sixth realm on the path of Qi cultivation in the future, you might as well switch to our Heavenly Strength Sect. You definitely have the potential to enter the Dao through martial arts.”

“Hehe, Brother Yun, you flatter me.”

Chu Liang modestly smiled. Even if he switched to martial arts in the future, he probably wouldn’t consider joining the Heavenly Strength Sect… It’s just that his temperament doesn’t quite match.

“Brother Yun, you helped me explain to Elder Zhang this time and took the trouble to teach me the technique of hidden weapons. I really don’t know how to thank you.”

Chu Liang sincerely said.

“Hey!” Yun Zhaoxian waved his hand,

“We are friends, and if you hadn’t acted uprightly and behaved properly, I wouldn’t have been able to help you explain. You helped me a lot last time, because of the incident of killing the demon envoy, my status in the sect has improved.”

“Now among the four of us core disciples, no one can surpass me except for the eldest senior brother.” Yun Zhaoxian proudly smiled,

“And my eldest senior brother is far less wise than me, so my future in the Heavenly Strength Sect is very bright.” The eldest senior brother he was referring to was the most famous Ren Hongdao among the four core disciples of this generation.

The two of them, along with Li Fujian and another spear practitioner, are the future of the Heavenly Strength Sect.

“That’s great.” Chu Liang praised. Initially, when he heard Yun Zhaoxian say that he was exceptionally wise within the sect, he thought he was boasting.

But after meeting Li Fujian, Chu Liang suddenly felt that it might be possible. After a while, Zhang Juque returned with Li Fujian.

He said that he had talked to Elder Danding, who promised to restrain his disciples and great-grandson in the future, so he let it go.

Chu Liang thanked him again. Since the matter was over, Zhang Juque took the two juniors back to the Heavenly Strength Sect.

Before leaving, Yun Zhaoxian and Chu Liang agreed to come to the Shu Mountain summit meeting to observe the ceremony. After they left, Silver Sword Peak quieted down.

Since the matter had reached Elder Danding, Chu Liang was not worried about anyone seeking revenge. Because even if Elder Danding wanted to seek revenge, he would definitely wait for the return of the master, and would not make things difficult for a small disciple like him.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a fire light rushing towards him from the southwest. Seeing this, Chu Liang immediately waved to Jin Maoxun,

“Come here!” Jin Maoxun’s wound was almost healed in just one day, and the bandages had been removed.

At this moment, Chu Liang acted quickly and swiftly re-bandaged its big head. Boom! There was a loud noise.

With such a fiery momentum, it was indeed Di Nvfeng returning home. Her expression was not very happy. Three powerful figures from Shu Mountain rushed to Evil Mountain and found that the fierce beasts there were indeed fleeing in all directions, and the surroundings were severely ravaged.

Not only Shu Mountain, but several other immortal gates also noticed and sent people to investigate. The cause of all this was the emergence of the Beast Prayer Platform a few days ago.

In the deepest part of Evil Mountain, the king of all beasts that suppressed all the fierce beasts in the mountain was the legendary Prayer Platform.

Not long ago, the Prayer Platform left Evil Mountain and its whereabouts became a mystery. The result of this investigation was not good. The three powerful figures stayed there for two more days to help clear the scattered fierce beasts. Busy and tired, Di Nvfeng’s mood was naturally average.

As soon as she returned to Silver Sword Peak, she saw Chu Liang leading the bandaged Jin Maoxun over, looking aggrieved.

“What happened?” She asked with a frown.

“Master, you’re finally back…” Chu Liang lamented,

“Our Jin Maoxun was bullied by someone!”
