Chapter 495: Disaster-ridden Dali

"This old man holding the sword doesn't look simple, and what he said makes sense. I think he is an expert. I'd better not make things complicated for the time being..."

The more you endure, the angrier you will be; the more you step back, the more you lose.

After a failed move, Jiumozhi became like a wounded tiger, venting all his anger on attacking Ku Rong, and attacked again with all his strength.

Having learned his lesson this time, he no longer dared to be careless. He only used 70% of his strength, leaving 30% for flexible response.

However, before Jiumozhi could get close, Master Kuruo used both hands at the same time, and two sword energies shot out instantly!

However, this time, what he shot out was not the 'Shao Shang Sword', but the 'Shang Yang Sword' made by the index finger of his right hand, and the 'Zhong Chong Sword' made by the middle finger of his left hand.

The Shangyang sword was clever, flexible and elusive, while the Zhongchong sword opened and closed with great force, and the two worked together to immediately force Jiumozhi back two meters away.

Jiumozhi was unwilling to give up. While he was trying his best to deal with the sword energy, he also tried to find a gap when Master Kuruo was recovering his energy. However, he tried to rush forward seven times but failed.

Lu Ping watched coldly from the side and found that Master Kuruo's move of 'Double Swords' was indeed far from 'Six Meridians'.

The real Six Meridians Mastery can not only operate two sets of 'Six Meridians Routes' at the same time, but also achieve 'Ten fingers fired at the same time, sword energy continuous, wind and rain unbroken'.

In other words, one can let one's internal energy circulate in ten or even twelve mental methods at the same time.

At this moment, Master Kurong can only operate two routes at the same time, and the shooting frequency is less than 20% of that in the great success state.

Such strength alone is enough to defeat Jiumozhi.

No matter whether it was the people who had practiced the Six Meridians Divine Sword in the past or the people present, none of them knew what the fully-developed Six Meridians Divine Sword looked like. In addition, Master Kuruo said with certainty that he had learned all six swords, so they thought that this really was the fully-developed Six Meridians Divine Sword.

When Jiumozhi saw that Master Kurong actually used two more swords after using the Shaoshang Sword, he could not help but be horrified, and then he no longer doubted his statement of "learning all six swords".

After a few moves, Jiumozhi's defense became increasingly difficult, so he immediately stopped attacking and retreated to create some distance, while shouting, "Master Kurong, please stop. I admit defeat!"

Upon seeing this, Master Kurong withdrew his hand, closed his eyes, turned around, and began to regulate his breathing and energy.

Hundred Years of Solitude knew the foundation of Master Ku Rong the best. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Kurong, this old bald donkey, just shot with both swords at the same time, and kept changing his moves. His internal energy must have been exhausted a long time ago, but he didn't dare to show it because the powerful enemy hadn't retreated yet."

"If Jiumozhi is willing to hold on for a few more moves, the old bald donkey will not be able to continue..."

Also present and noticing that Master Kurong was running out of energy were Lu Ping, Yi Deng, and the abbot of Tianlong Temple, Ben Yin.

Ben Yin stepped forward and blocked Jiumozhi's gaze from Master Kurong with his body, saying, "Ming Wang, since you have admitted defeat, please leave now."

Jiumozhi fell silent after hearing that. He thought to himself that he had already mastered the art of begging for alms, and if he could obtain the Six Meridians Divine Sword, he would be even more powerful. By then, no one in the world would be his rival.

The only chance to become invincible in the world is right before his eyes. How can Jiumozhi be willing to give up and retreat?
Unfortunately, my skills are not as good as others. What should I do?
If the gift exchange is unwilling, and if you fail to take it by force, then you have no choice but to resort to underhand tactics.

Jiumozhi lowered his head, his eyes rolled around, and he instantly had evil intentions, but he remained calm on the surface. He raised his head and looked towards the distant horizon, then sighed deeply.

"Hey, Mr. Murong, it seems that you are destined to have no chance of learning the Six Meridians Sword Manual."

"I am not strong enough to fulfill the agreement between us, so I have no choice but to break my promise to you. I just hope that you will not blame me in your grave."

Jiumozhi pretended to speak with sincerity, then bowed and left with his followers.

Seeing him leave, the monks of Tianlong Temple finally felt relieved. Then, under the command of Benyin, they closed the gate of Tianlong Temple again and dispersed to recuperate or regulate their breathing.

After finishing his business here, Yideng prepared to go home.

Cheng Ying took the opportunity to step forward and explained the purpose of Huang Yaoshi's visit, and also mentioned the "disciple battle" between them.

However, Yideng had practiced Buddhism for many years and was no longer as warlike as he was when he was young. Moreover, he did not have any disciples of the right age, so he rejected this "martial arts competition" on the spot.

Cheng Ying had expected this reply and did not dare to force him. She just asked if there was anything he wanted her to take back.

Yideng thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't have much to say. Please tell your master, Guo Jing and Huang Rong to take care of themselves. If they are bored, they can come to my place and sit for a while."

"I understand, I will definitely pass on your message when I return."

After Yideng left Tianlong Temple, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang naturally did not want to stay any longer and planned to return to Southern Song Dynasty, but Lu Ping asked them to stay.

"Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

"It's a rare opportunity to come to Dali, how can we not have a good time here?" The two girls thought so too, and decided to leave after a while.

"Brother Lu, you have been in Dali for a while. Do you know if there are any fun places here?"

"Well...you can look at the map."

The three of them left Tianlong Temple together, holding the Dali map in Lu Ping's hand, and began to look for the scenic spots in the area.

After a day and night of sightseeing, the three returned to Dali City.

Lu Ping originally invited Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang to stay in the guest room at the Zhennan Palace, but the two declined on the grounds that they were neither relatives nor friends, and only stayed in an inn in the city.

Seeing that the two women insisted, Lu Ping had to give up and just said that they could come to him for help if they had any problems.

On the third day, which was supposed to be the day for resuming martial arts teaching, Lu Ping arrived at the martial arts training ground of the palace, but did not see Duan Yu. After asking the servants, he found out that Duan Yu had not returned yesterday.

Lu Ping was puzzled for a moment: "Could it be that the boy was having so much fun in his mother's arms that he forgot my previous instructions?"

At noon, people in the palace suddenly became in a hurry.

Soon, Duan Zhengchun came to their guest house with a few trusted retainers and asked for support.

"Something bad has happened to Yu'er!"

"I hope the young heroes can lend a hand!"

After Duan Zhengchun's explanation, Lu Ping finally learned the whole story.

It turned out that after celebrating Dao Baifeng's birthday, Duan Yu unfortunately met the four evil men on his way back.

Since the Western Xia was gone, the four evil villains in the world only operated in Dali.

Duan Yanqing recognized Duan Yu's identity, so he transferred his resentment towards the Dali royal family to him and attacked him in anger.

In recent days, although Duan Yu has been studying Yi Yang Finger seriously and making rapid progress under Lu Ping's guidance, he has only been practicing for a short time and his martial arts skills are no match for Duan Yanqing.

Moreover, not only has he not learned the North Sea Divine Art and the Lingbo Weibu, he has not eaten the Manggu Zhuha. Facing the four evil men, he can neither defeat them nor escape.

After Duan Yanqing captured Duan Yu, he wrote a letter to Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming, demanding the throne of Dali from him, otherwise he would kill him.

However, this is not the only bad thing.

The people guarding outside Yuxu Temple brought news that Dao Baifeng had been assassinated and was now seriously injured and unconscious.

In addition, there was an accidental fire in Tianlong Temple, and all the monks were poisoned and their lives were in danger. Even more serious was that the manual of Six Meridians Divine Sword was stolen.

These three major events happened at the same time, and not only were the people in the Zhennan Palace anxious and worried, but the entire Dali royal family was also extremely busy for a while.

Duan Yu is the prince of Dali, the crown prince, and the future emperor of Dali. Now that he has been captured, he must be rescued.

Tianlong Temple is a royal temple with extraordinary significance, and the people living inside are all members of the royal family, so it cannot be ignored;

In comparison, Dao Baifeng, the Princess of Zhennan, became the person with the least weight.

"At this moment, both the king and my brother are too busy to handle everything. We can only ask for help from the young heroes."

The 'several people' here, besides Lu Ping, include Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, who also live in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion. As for Li Mochou and master and apprentice Hong Lingbo, they had already left some time ago.

After hearing the news, Lu Ping couldn't help but sigh that Dali had suffered so many disasters.

"Why did Tianlong Temple catch fire, the monks get poisoned, and the sword manual get lost?"

"I think it must be Jiumozhi who left and came back!"

"As for the princess being assassinated, there's no need to guess, it must be... ahem, I have no clue about this matter, who did it? It's really puzzling!"

Lu Ping was talking halfway when he suddenly noticed Duan Zhengchun's bloody face. After thinking about it, he decided to give him some face and did not directly tell him his guess.
