I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 178 Master and Disciple United (Happy New Year!)

Huo Du ignored the shouting and cursing and turned to his master, King Jinlun, and said respectfully, "Master, we came here for nothing. At first, we thought that all the heroes in the world would gather here, but we never thought that they were all unscrupulous people who ignored the inheritance of our master."

"In my opinion, it is better for you to leave quickly. Sitting on the so-called leader of the martial arts world would be an insult to your great name."

Huo Du was annoyed that Huang Rong had put him in such a difficult position, and he raised his voice a little more: "As for the Beggars' Sect, which is known as the world's largest sect, it actually passed the position of leader to a woman. It is obvious that Hong Qigong is just a fraud."

The heroes knew that he was trying to provoke them, but they still couldn't help cursing. At the same time, they wondered if the various schools and sects present could really not select three masters from one school to restore the reputation of the Central Plains martial arts world?

Zhao Zhijing knew that Guo Jing and Huang Rong were wary of King Jinlun who appeared for the first time, but in the end he was still no match for Guo Jing.

Therefore, as long as Huang Rong can avoid King Jinlun, whether she faces Huodu or Dalba, there is no need for a third person to fight, and she will be sure to win.

Just as he was about to give them a reminder, Guo Fu stood out from the crowd and drew out her sword with a swish.

From her childhood to adulthood, she had never seen anyone dare to be so rude to her mother, so no matter what the occasion, she would immediately step forward and teach Huo Du a lesson.

The Wu brothers came up and shouted, "Sister Fu, you don't need to do anything. We two brothers will teach this lunatic a lesson!"

Huo Du was very pleased to see that his plan had really worked. He also saw that the two men were very young and had a very good fighting style. He immediately said, "Heroes present, please come, but these two young boys took the initiative to challenge me."

"If I take action, I will inevitably be accused of bullying the weak. But if I don't fight, won't the nosy people say that I am afraid of two children?"

Huo Du finally found an opportunity to show off his power and said generously: "So let's just let them both fight together. Let's make it clear that the one who wins two of the three matches will be the leader of the martial arts world."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Wu brothers came up together. Wu Dunru shouted, "My master's wife is such a noble person, how could she easily attack you just for a few words from a barbarian like you?"

Wu Xiuwen said: "My two brothers are enough to get rid of you!"

When Huodu saw that the two men called Huang Rong "Master's Wife", he knew that she must be Guo Jing's disciple. He thought this was a pleasant surprise and went straight to greet them without waiting for others to speak.

When the Wu brothers saw that Huodu had first insulted his master's wife and then called them "young boys" for being rude, they immediately attacked from both sides.

The two brothers thought that they had learned the true teachings from their master over the years, and now they had the unique skill of Yang Finger. Even if one of them could not defeat him, they would not be defeated if they fought together. This was a good opportunity to show off in front of the heroes of the world.

Zhao Zhijing saw the three men fighting each other and thought that although Guo Jing's martial arts were high, he was far from being able to teach disciples. Moreover, the Wu brothers had limited talents and were facing Huodu, so they would definitely lose this battle.

"Guo'er has been comprehending the sword meaning of Dugu Nine Swords since last year. It has been more than half a year now. Now it is a good opportunity for the Wu brothers to test Huodu's background. Why not..."

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhijing waved to Yang Guo who was not far away. Yang Guo immediately came forward and waited for his master's instructions.

"Guo'er, watch Huo Du's every move carefully. If you are 60% sure of defeating him, Master will go and tell Hero Guo and Gang Leader Huang that the next battle will be between us, master and disciple!"

Ever since the day he arrived at Lujia Manor, Yang Guo had always fantasized about whether he would have the opportunity to show his skills, but he never thought that the opponent would be a master of Huodu's level, let alone in such a significant occasion.

"Yes, Master!"

Yang Guo was a little nervous in his excitement. Since his master thought he had a chance, he should just try his best to be the first. He immediately focused on the moves of the three people in the arena and tried to break them with swordsmanship. As for Huang Rong, after hearing Huo Du's proposal of this competition method, she also thought about the people present. As they were from the same school, she and Guo Jing had a better chance of winning.

Just when I was thinking that Lu Youjiao should take on the third person, the Wu brothers had already started fighting, and it was too late to stop them.

Fortunately, Huo Du was confident enough to fight two alone, and the impact of Zhao Zhijing's kick just now was still there, so he just waited and saw how the situation developed, hoping that the Wu brothers could work together to take the lead.

Unexpectedly, after just a few moves, the combined attack of the two swords was suppressed by Huo Du and could not be carried out at all.

Huo Du had just suffered two consecutive defeats, and now he was finally able to vent his anger. He used his left hand to support the blade of Wu Xiuwen's long sword that was stabbing towards him, and then used his folding fan in his right hand to smash it across the waist, and the long sword was immediately broken in half.

Wu Dunru was worried about his brothers' safety, so he devised a strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao. He attacked Huo Du's back with a sword to prevent him from pursuing him.

Unexpectedly, Huo Du seemed to have eyes on his back. He did not look back, but pulled back the folding fan to hold the long sword, and then used his internal energy while turning his wrist.

Wu Dunru only felt a huge force coming. If he didn't let go, his whole arm would be twisted into a knot. He had no choice but to throw away the sword.

The long sword was driven with great force, flying straight into the air, flashing a few cold lights under the moonlight, before finally landing on the ground.

The Wu brothers were defeated in the fight with weapons. Immediately, one of them slightly bent his left leg and held his right palm in the air, making the stance of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms; the other one clenched his fist and raised it flat in front of his chest, leaving only his index finger exposed, which was the starting move of One Finger Zen.

Huo Du was a cunning man, but he had good eyesight. Although the two men were unarmed, he could tell from their stance that they had top-notch kung fu skills.

In order to show off his power, he used his internal energy to break the sword and turn his wrist. Under normal circumstances, this would have been nothing, but because of the internal injuries Zhao Zhijing had suffered, the breath in his chest was surging again.

Huo Du thought it was better to stop while he was ahead, so he smiled and said, "Let's stop here and not fight to the death. Now that the winner is decided, there is no need to fight any further."

The Wu brothers were filled with shame. They thought they would lose even more miserably if they continued to fight with empty hands, so they retreated dejectedly.

Seeing this, Guo Fu immediately came to the two of them and shouted, "Brother Wu, the three of us brothers and sisters should come together and fight this traitor again!"

"Nonsense! Back off!"

Guo Fu was most afraid of her father. Although she was unwilling in her heart, she still took a few steps back when she heard the scolding and glared at Huo Du angrily.

"If the brothers hadn't been so eager to win, they could have fought Huo Du for a few more moves, and Guo'er's chances of winning would have been better."

Zhao Zhijing shook his head secretly, but this battle was not completely fruitless. A purple aura appeared on Huodu's face. Although it was fleeting, Zhao Zhijing still caught it.

When he was in Shaolin Temple, in order to prevent the folding fan in his hand from being taken away, Huodu's face showed purple air twice during the competition of internal strength, but he had to let go in the end, so his limit should be only twice.

"Compared to Huo Du, Guo Er's biggest disadvantage is that his internal strength is still shallow. Fortunately, Huo Du's internal strength has been reduced at this time, which is a good opportunity!"
