Chapter 49 Showdown
Noon.

The sun is rising.

The new prefect, Mr. Qian, was not on duty at the government office, but found an excuse to return to the inner house to rest.

"master!"

Concubine Qin brought a box of pearls, took out one and played with it in her palm, her eyes full of pride:

"Look at this pearl, it's so big and round. It must be worth hundreds of taels of silver in the capital."

"My second sister advised me not to follow you here, saying that coming to a remote place like Yuecheng would only lead to suffering. Fortunately, I didn't listen to her, otherwise I wouldn't be able to enjoy such a blessing now."

"She's just a woman, what does she know?" Mr. Qian said with disdain:

"Pearls are rare in the capital, but they're just common here on the coast. If they're not good quality, I wouldn't even want them for free."

"Wait a few days, and the second batch of silver will be delivered. I will buy you whatever good things you want!"

"Really?" Qin's eyes lit up, and after a moment of hesitation, she said:
“Will they give it?”

"How dare they not give it to me!" Lord Qian glared at him.
"This is the money the court demands. If you don't give it, you're defying the court's will. You're a bandit or a traitor. I'll order the confiscation of their property."

"That's what the master said." Qin smiled and said:
"I gave you tens of thousands of taels of silver last time. This time you're asking for even less, so there's no reason not to give it to you."

Said with praise:

"It's really better to be an official. Three years as a prefect can earn you 100,000 silver coins. No other business can compare to being an official."

"That's true!" Lord Qian laughed.

"But being a good official isn't easy. If I didn't have someone behind me, I wouldn't dare to act so recklessly..."

"Is there anyone?" Qin's beautiful eyes blinked.
"Are you talking about the one who will inherit the throne?"

"Hush..." Lord Qian's expression turned serious.
"Be careful!"

"I understand." Qin held her chin with her hand and said:
"Of course the more silver the better, but I'm afraid those people will become desperate. I was a little reluctant to give the money I asked for last time. I heard that the head of the cloth shop is very powerful."

"Hmph!" Lord Qian snorted.

"Even if a young man has some martial arts skills, how good can he be? It's just a rumor."

"This man is quite grand. I've been in office for so long, and he hasn't even come to visit me once..."

"But don't worry!"

He comforted:

"Wancai Cloth Shop isn't dominated by the Zhu family alone, and it seems something happened in the underworld recently. He left Yuecheng for Naping Mountain a few days ago."

"That's good." Qin heaved a sigh of relief.
"Master, you are a daughter of gold. There is no need for you to be with that kind of person..."

"puff!"

Before she could finish her words, a flying knife appeared from nowhere and directly cut open Lord Qian's throat.

Hot blood gushed out from the broken neck, followed by Qin's shrill scream.

"Shh!"

Another flying knife came flying, and the screams stopped abruptly.

early morning.

It's foggy.

A small boat paddled through the calm water and slid into Yunlan Lake at the foot of Pingshan Mountain.

Zhu Ju stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and looked up at the mountains hidden in the mist.

"I always regret that this body is not mine. When will I forget the hustle and bustle?"

A familiar, old, hoarse voice came from the front, revealing a strong sense of fatigue and helplessness:

"The night is late and the wind is still, the ripples are smooth."

"The world is a dream, and life is like a chilling autumn." Zhu Ju looked over and said calmly:
"Since you understand that you can't be free once you're in this situation, why don't you take a step back and seek some freedom?"

"It's easier said than done." A dilapidated fishing boat, about ten feet long, appeared silently in the thick fog. An old man wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat sat cross-legged at the stern, fishing.
"People in the arena involuntarily."

Whale rider!
The Grandmaster who breaks the limit, Mu Beiting!

Zhu Ju was not surprised by the other party's appearance here. Instead, he nodded as a matter of course:
"Senior, you waited so long to come find me. It seems you want to stop me from going to Pingshan to watch the duel between the two limit-breaking masters?"

"Not bad." Mu Beiting shook his fishing rod, caught a lake fish and threw it into the fish basket, nodding and saying:
"Master Zhu, can we go back?"

"Haha..." Zhu Julang laughed:
"Senior, are you afraid?"

Considering the other party's strength, reputation, and the last encounter, why would he be so polite if he wasn't unsure?
Let him go back?

We had already taken action last time!

Now he first felt an inexplicable sense of nostalgia, and then tried to persuade her, without any of the domineering attitude he had in their previous encounter.

"..." Mu Beiting's eyes were leisurely:

"You know I'm hunting you, but you still dare to show up, Zhu Hui Shou. I guess you've already broken the limit."

"Not bad." Zhu Ju nodded.
"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to wait for you, Senior, until now. Could it be that you are the most mysterious of the three guardians of the Scarlet Blood Sect?"

At present, it seems that only the people of the Red Blood Sect have reason to stop him from going to Pingshan.

Mu Beiting had fought with him before and knew very well how powerful he would be once he became a Grandmaster who could break through the limits.

It is very likely to change the situation on the mountain!
Therefore,
Even though Mu Beiting knew that he might not be the opponent, he had to come in order to carry out the "mission".

"At this point, what does it matter whether it is true or not?"

Putting away the fishing rod, he slowly stood up:

"I was born into a fisherman family. When I was young, I was lucky enough to take a rare marine treasure that transformed my physique. Later, I joined the Sanhe Gang and fought hard. During this time, I have experienced countless life and death, ups and downs for decades, and finally got to where I am today."

"I have heard of your experience, senior." Zhu Ju bowed.
"From a humble background, he became a remarkable man. I admire him."

"Haha..." Mu Beiting laughed loudly: "Mr. Zhu is so noble that he won't understand people like me. The world is in turmoil and people are suffering. Only by changing the world can we see a new look."

"I will never let anyone interfere with the duel on the mountain!"

"boom!"

Before he could finish his words, the fishing boat beneath his feet exploded with a loud bang, and a figure took advantage of the force and flew into the air, clapping his hands and attacking.

Dragon swimming in the sea!

The body of the Grandmaster who breaks the limit is comparable to fine iron that has been tempered a thousand times, and he can shatter rocks with a single palm.

At this moment, Zhu Ju's full effort also made his body sink slightly.

"Well done!"

He tapped his toes lightly, and the force seemed not great, but his whole body rushed forward at an astonishing speed.

Red Blood Claw!

Hunyuan Iron Hand!

The two unique skills changed at will in his hands, sometimes into claws, sometimes into palms, and sometimes into fists.

Iron Wire Fist!
"Peng!"

With a muffled sound, Mu Beiting flew backwards into the sky.

If Yan Jingfu saw his Iron Wire Fist knocking away a Grandmaster who had broken through the limit, he would probably cry out in surprise and say that he was so lucky.

"What a powerful force!"

Mu Beiting landed on the wooden board on the water surface. His heavy body only caused the board to sink slightly. He shouted:
"You were able to fight me head-on before you even broke through your limit. After breaking through, I am no match for Zhu Huishu."

"fortunately……"

"The battlefield is here!"

"Wow!"

As his energy surged, the lake water around him suddenly rose and formed a column of water rushing towards Zhu Ju.

Outer bound lion seal!
This is a Buddhist skill. It can use hand seals to gather the qi and blood in the body, and it can also gather scattered water flows into a straight line.

"Sand fighting, miscellaneous martial arts, Buddhism, the senior's methods are quite diverse."

Zhu Ju shouted softly and rushed forward against the trend.

Palm shadows came out one after another, and the speed was so fast that they even caused a sharp whistling sound, instantly blasting away the oncoming water flow.

Iron Tree Silver Flower!

The palm shadows in the sky enveloped the opponent's body, blocking any direction for dodge, and finally suddenly gathered together.

All things return to one!

suddenly.

The piercing scream disappeared, and the surging energy also disappeared quietly, while Mu Beiting's face darkened.

"boom!"

The two palms collided in the air, and the water below exploded. Zhu Ju retreated lightly, frowning and looking at the water surface.

A few strands of blood floated on the water, proving that Mu Beiting was injured in the collision just now.

but,
This does not mean the end.

Mu Beiting chose this place as the battlefield specifically, and he naturally had his own purpose. He was a fisherman and was proficient in water.

Water battle,

Best at it!
…………

Pingshan.

Mountain top.

Ye Liuyun hung a long sword on his waist and stepped onto the stone platform step by step.

At this time, he was no longer as charming and dashing as before. His long hair was disheveled, his beard was as thick as a spear, and even his clothes were tattered. It had been who knows how long since he had changed them. He looked like he had aged by ten years.

There was only a sword energy filled with murderous intent that shot straight into the sky, causing people to look sideways.

"Ye Liuyun!"

Dugu Wuwang, wearing a blood-red cloak and with a tall and burly figure like a giant bear, turned around when he heard the sound:

"Not bad!"

"Among the younger generation in Jianghu, there is finally someone worth looking up to."

His voice was calm and seemed normal, but the faces of the martial artists dozens of meters away changed color.

"Blood Magic!"

"Be careful, close your ears. His voice can stimulate the circulation of qi and blood, and even control the blood flow and burst the heart."

"Back! Back!"

……

People who were dozens of meters away were so frightened, but Ye Liuyun, who was facing Dugu Wuwang, remained calm.

"Red Blood Cult..."

"Be punished!"

"Zheng!"

The long sword was unsheathed and pointed directly at Dugu Wuwang.
