Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 498 The Battle Finally Breaks Out

In fact, what Du Zun said was just bluffing.

He said this because, on the one hand, he wanted to scare these people and see how they would react. On the other hand, he also wanted to buy himself some more time to think about what to do next...

Should he continue to criticize Shao Dejin, or should he change his story? If he changed his story, who should he drag into the water?
Anyway, he had never thought about "handing over the real mastermind Wu Mingzi".

Because when he was not yet the "Shadowless Poison Lord" but just the "Apprentice Ruan Qingpao", he had dealt with Wu Mingzi, so he knew: if he continued to negotiate with these so-called "righteous people in the martial arts world" today, he might still have a 20% chance of survival, but if he handed Wu Mingzi over, the other party would definitely not let him go.

In the final analysis... it's just for fun. Making others anxious and worried is called having fun. If you risk your own life, then you become the fun. Du Zun will not make such a mistake.

but.

Of course there is a but here.

Things in this world are not like that. Just because you think you have not made any mistakes doesn't mean you have not made any mistakes. Are there many people who have played with eagles all their lives, only to have their eyes pecked out by little birds?
When Du Zun said this, he did not take into account that the situation was different now than when he first "reported the real culprit".

At that time, the account that Wu Mingzi had calculated in his mind was still acceptable; at least he believed that even if he was directly identified, he would still have room for denial.

But now...if you expose Wu Mingzi after "changing the answer once", it will be another matter.

What's more, Wu Mingzi has been observing people's words and expressions just like you. Maybe he can't see anything from Sun Huang, but looking at the abbot's words and actions, can't he feel that he has been targeted by the other party?
At this time, if you say "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished" to make everyone laugh, no matter how others react, can Wu Mingzi tolerate it?

Well, you look like you're about to give me away, so shouldn't I take the initiative?
Chiying——

In a flash, the light from the sword's edge was faster than the sound of it being unsheathed.

When everyone heard the sound and reacted, Wu Mingzi's sword had already cut to the abbot's throat.

Some people may find it strange, why Wu Mingzi did not attack Du Zun at this moment, but attacked the abbot?
With his martial arts skill of "Three Eyes to Kill Sounds", let alone the fact that Poison Lord was tied to the pole now, even if Poison Lord was standing there freely, Wu Mingzi could definitely kill him before he uttered the first word of his next sentence.

But from Wu Mingzi's perspective, attacking Poison Lord actually has no meaning, because the act of "attacking Poison Lord" itself is the same as asking him to report his name.

If you think in this way, it would be better to do another calculation directly - when I am exposed, which of the people in this tent should I deal with first?

The answer is obvious.

If Di Buyan could figure it out, there was no way Wu Mingzi couldn't figure it out - as long as he killed the abbot, no one around could stop him.

Of course!
How could the "best gun in the world" be so easily defeated by a surprise attack?
when--

At that moment, the abbot, who had been prepared, simply moved the spear in his hand slightly forward, blocking the opponent's sword and making the sword stop at a finger's distance in front of his throat.

"Heh..." Finally, the abbot smiled with relief, because things had become simplified at this point.

Everyone who was just thinking about their own little plans now has a reason to fight against a common enemy.

However, Wu Mingzi was shocked after this attack.

This was because he used all his strength in this sword, and there was no need to hide any strength.

In other words, this is the "number one sword in the world" in today's martial arts world.

But he did not use this sneak attack to take down the abbot.

This result, just like his failure to take down the Three-Character King, surprised him, but also made him a little happy.

"In this martial arts world, there is always someone better than you..." Wu Mingzi muttered these words to himself, as an affirmation of the abbot's strength.

And the sword in his hand had already launched two attacks in the blink of an eye.

The previous move was the "Weak Wind Blowing Willows" from the Kunlun sword technique. It was light and swift, and the coordination between body and sword techniques was like wind and lightning, with murderous intent looming.

The latter move was a sword style he had learned himself, which could suddenly burst out with astonishing destructive power from the "floating and invisible" style of the previous one, causing the opponent's defense to suddenly collapse.

Although these two moves were just Wu Mingzi's instinctive follow-up attacks after his failed sneak attack, they were terrifying enough.

Fortunately, the abbot was also in a state of full strength at this time, so he was able to receive these two moves. However... while receiving them, he was already shouting loudly: "Help me!"

Don’t be fooled by the fact that he acted like a “martial artist” when he was sparring with Hai Cangfeng. When it comes to a real battle between good and evil and a life-and-death struggle, he is very pragmatic… He would never stubbornly insist on a one-on-one duel or anything like that, nor would he feel excited. For him, defeating the opponent as quickly as possible is the most important thing.

And right now, there are three people who helped him at the first moment: Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai, and Di Bujuan.

These three people all knew that there was something wrong with Wu Mingzi, and they were always on edge, so their reactions were naturally faster than others.

It was different for those in the Murong family. When Murong Shu saw this situation, he had to react a little bit before he could understand why Wu Mingzi wanted to take action.

And almost at the same second when he figured it out...

"Dad, let's protect this half of the tent and don't go forward." Murong Xiao had already said something that his father would need a few seconds to figure out.

Don't think that these people in the Murong family are afraid of death or want to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight. In fact, what Murong Xiao said is the best choice they can make.

Although the "medical tent" they were in was quite large (with more than a dozen beds and space for medicinal materials), it was just a tent after all. If they wanted to besiege one person here, four people would be enough.

Besides, if they really want to help, the three sons of Murong family... some are in wheelchairs, some are not good at martial arts, wouldn’t it just cause trouble if they go in?

Murong Shu, who had decent martial arts skills, was already doing well enough to protect those fellows in this half of the tent who were "just resurrected", "dying", "severely weakened", "not very good at martial arts", and even "did not know martial arts".

Dangdangdang——

Let's talk about these people fighting. Amid the sounds of weapons clashing, the situation of four against one has lasted for more than ten seconds.

You know what, they barely managed to draw.

At the beginning of this battle, the distance between the two sides was very close, and in a situation of many against one, Di Bujuan, who was using boxing gloves, naturally had some advantages, so he was able to restrain Wu Mingzi from the front for a while.

In addition, Sun Yixie's trident was also a factor that made Wu Mingzi "overly concerned"; many masters had failed because of carelessness with this thing, and Wu Mingzi had heard about this a long time ago, so he had to use extra energy to deal with Sun Yixie's intermittent pokes and sweeps that seemed to cause "little damage"

Of course, as a "top-level" master, it is impossible for him to be suppressed by these four people all the time. After fighting for dozens of moves, Wu Mingzi gradually figured out the four people... especially the three-axe routine of Sun Huang... and slowly began to fight back.

"Go out and fight!" At this critical moment, Huo Ming shouted from the other side of the tent.

By this time, Sect Leader Huo had already realized that if the fight continued, either Wu Mingzi would gradually gain the upper hand and eventually kill all the people in this group, or Wu Mingzi would be tricked or make a mistake, resulting in injury, and then turn around and rush to attack this group of old, weak and sick people, thus creating variables.

At this moment, Huo Ming was still following the detoxification method given by the Poison Lord to help Dugu Sheng, who had just taken the medicine, to detoxify. It was impossible for him to stop and move, so it would be best to let those people lure Wu Mingzi out and then fight.

"Humph..." Wu Mingzi sneered in his heart when he heard the other party's shout, "Where to fight? Is it your turn, Huo, to decide?"

But just as he thought of this, he heard...

"Shit! Explode! Sky! Star!"

Huang Donglai, who didn't know whether he was quick-witted or quick-witted, suddenly assumed a horse-drawn stance and let out a roar.

As soon as Huang Ge said these four words, it was as if a certain area in Wu Mingzi's brain was stressed... The next second, Wu Mingzi's entire body was like a blast, and he shouted with a distorted face: "Wow! Retreat quickly!"

As he shouted, he summoned all his strength, gathered it in his legs, and leaped sideways... As he flew upwards, he raised his hand and swung his sword, breaking the thick cloth roof of the tent, and then jumped out of the hole.

This sudden change stunned the abbot and Di Bujuan. Originally, they should have been able to restrain Wu Mingzi and prevent him from making such a "breakout" by joining forces. However, the two strange screams from Huang Donglai and Wu Mingzi in succession confused the two men.

In fact, even Huang Donglai himself didn't expect that his nonsense would have such an effect: "Damn, it really works?"

He was just trying it out to see if he could scare the other party, but he didn't expect the effect to be so amazing.

He didn't know that the person Wu Mingzi feared the most was him...

Think about it, Wu Mingzi recruited the three survivors of the "Jiuxiao Sword" as his subordinates a long time ago, so he would definitely ask these three survivors for all kinds of information about Wujian Villa, right?
And as an eyewitness to "that incident", Sanxiao would definitely tell Wu Mingzi about it, right?

As for Wu Mingzi, who was always mentally exhausted, after listening to their vivid descriptions of such things, could he not get entangled? Could he not imagine?

Based on the intelligence he had, he was "overly cautious" even about Sun Yixie's Trident, let alone this?

Therefore, when Huang Donglai shouted out these four words, Wu Mingzi didn't care in what form Huang Donglai would use to launch the moves behind "those four words" next. He would just defend himself first.

However, after flying out, Wu Mingzi had to consider something else - what to do next?
The people outside must have heard the fighting in the tent in the past minute. How should he deal with it now to seize the initiative?

Hey, a good idea had already come to his mind before Wu Mingzi landed.

"My fellow Taoists! Those people from the four sects and three gangs worked together to poison the food. Dugu Yong has already been ambushed by them! Now they have teamed up with the abbot and the people from the Murong family to injure Sect Leader Huo, and they want to kill me to silence me!"

It's a simple case of the bad guy complaining first, but it does have a good effect in a short period of time.

At this moment, in the eyes of the group of people outside, Wu Mingzi is still a famous figure in Kunlun, and what he says is still quite credible.

After he said this, everyone began to recall...

Indeed, ever since the "incident" in the duel between Huo Ming and Dugu Yong, the words and deeds of Sun and Huang became suspicious.

They clearly didn't allow anyone to enter the tent at first, but later on, people from the Murong family were able to come in and out, and Di Buyan also appeared out of nowhere with a large group of people...

Later, Sun Huang personally came out and called the Shao father and son, who were also members of the four sects and three gangs.

Also... speaking of which, Master Huo, you haven't shown up for a long time, right?

Anyway, let's not talk about this matter, but at this moment Wu Mingzi jumped out from the top of the tent in a panic and shouted like this as soon as he landed. The more people thought about it, the more they felt that what he said was true and that it all matched up.

As for why he came out in such a hurry, everyone immediately came up with the following story: "Although Wu Mingzi was a player hired by the Murong family, he was still an outsider after all. He saw that the situation was not right inside and wanted to come out to report the news, but he was almost killed. Fortunately, his martial arts skills were high enough, and he relied on his quick wits to escape from above." Even Wu Mingzi himself had not yet thought of this patch.

Therefore, when Sun, Huang, Fang, and Di came to their senses a few seconds later and ran out of the tent to explain, they were already a beat too late...

The crowd outside went wild almost instantly.

The people from the Ba Quan Sect were the first to get restless. Several of Huo Ming's direct disciples rushed towards the tent without saying a word.

And those disciples of the Murong family must have wanted to rush in and ask the head of the family to come out and explain things.

But in this situation, neither the people from the Baquan Sect nor the many people who have been led astray by Wu Mingzi will allow the people from the Murong family to act rashly.

The conflict between the two sides quickly turned from a quarrel into a fight...and once the backstage was in chaos, how could the people in the front desk still sit still?

The audience outside was already extremely restless, and now they heard the sudden shouting and clashing of weapons backstage, so wouldn't they have to rush to the back to see what was going on?

Just like that, the game was finally interrupted and ended, and then it broke out into a huge chaos. Many people who wanted to fish in troubled waters finally got their chance to act...

Let’s not discuss where Wu Mingzi was going to escape to for now, but let’s talk about the table next to the arena where the prizes were originally placed high up. As expected, it was knocked over by the crowd in the commotion.

At that moment, a dozen people who "happened" to be near the stage all rushed to the box containing the "Silkworm-seeking Ring" that had fallen to the ground.

The box was kicked and thrown back and forth as they scrambled for it, changing hands repeatedly...

After just a few seconds, the snatch unsurprisingly escalated into a fight, and then people within a radius of dozens of meters were constantly involved. Amid the shouts of "Find the Silkworm Ring Here", a melee outside also broke out.

…………

At the same time, on a hillside far away from the competition venue.

A handsome, well-built man in black, in his early twenties, was lazily leaning against a tree, looking at the chaos in the distance while playing with the ring on his hand.

"Great! Great! Hahaha... Now they will probably never figure out when the things were stolen." Yu Wang watched from afar as those martial artists were fighting over an empty box, and when he thought of how these people had helped him cover up the evidence of his crime without knowing it, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But his laughter soon came to an abrupt end, because he saw that the person he was waiting for was walking up the hillside.
