Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

In the restaurant, Butler Su watched as Mu Nianci first dragged her gun away, then twisted her waist and turned back, shooting a bullet into the cloth sail at the edge of the arena. He couldn't help but speak up.

Su Yuchen nodded and commented, "Your marksmanship is good, but it's a pity that it's mostly battlefield combat techniques. It's good for killing people on the battlefield, but it inevitably loses some of the subtle variations in martial arts competitions."

At this moment, Mu Nianci finished her spear technique and her breathing became even, indicating that she had clearly recovered.

At this moment, a woman holding two swords leaped onto the stage, bowed, and then attacked Mu Nianci with a move called "Husband and Wife in Harmony".

The long sword moved straight through the center, while the short sword guarded the left and right sides, combining strength and flexibility, speed and slowness, which was pleasing to the eye and made everyone cheer.

Mu Nianci flicked her spear tip, and the spear, like a dragon, twisted and turned, creating a dazzling display of spear flowers. With a series of clanging sounds, the spear tip pierced the center of the long sword, interrupting the woman's attacks several times.

The woman's swordsmanship was thwarted, and her expression changed. With a swift movement of her left-hand short sword, she unleashed a myriad of variations, each strike striking the junction of the spearhead and shaft amidst a series of clanging sounds. Meanwhile, her right-hand long sword cascaded down like a waterfall.

Mu Nianci nimbly darted backward, her spear swirling in her hand as it escaped from the sword cage. Then, with a flick of her wrists, she pulled the spear back into the cage, causing it to bend like a bow and shoot out, blocking the woman's pursuit.

The woman slashed at the gun with her sword, and a burst of energy, like needles pricking her fingers, made her release her grip on the sword and stop her pursuit.

Mu Nianci caught the rebounding spear, spun it around her waist, and moved with it, the spear tip like a wheel, forcing the woman to retreat continuously.

Then she gripped both hands, and the spear flew out from her waist like a dragon soaring into the sky. With her left hand, she wielded the spear straight for the woman's throat.

The woman's expression changed, and she immediately drew her knife to protect her throat. With a "clang," the spear tip pierced the knife. Before the woman could react, Mu Nianci was already in front of her, pressing her right palm against the woman's lower abdomen and sending her off the stage.

The woman paused for a moment, realizing that Mu Nianci had already shown mercy, then bowed in greeting and turned to disappear into the crowd.

"it is good!!!"

The crowd, realizing what had happened, cheered and jumped for joy again.

Chapter 455 Zeng Dahan's Inner Demon Goes Out of Control

"I must thank Brother Su for his advice. Daxing Prefecture is full of hidden talents, and my daughter and I have overestimated ourselves."

During lunch, Yang Tiexin made a special trip to the counter to thank Steward Su. After half a day of setting up the challenge, he finally realized that the capital city was indeed different from other places; it was not lacking in skilled fighters.

Butler Su smiled and said, "Those people all have external martial arts skills. As long as the young lady doesn't panic, it won't be easy for her to lose."

Yang Tiexin shook his head and said, "Brother Su is right. No one knows when a master will suddenly appear, and then it will be too late to regret it."

After the two talked for a while, Manager Su glanced at the door and said, "Brother Yang, please make yourself at home. I have another guest here."

Yang Tiexin glanced at the person who came in through the door and couldn't help but frown. He then led Mu Nianci to the backyard.

"Father..." Mu Nianci asked, puzzled.

Yang Tiexin shook his head, and after they had walked a distance, he whispered, "That man reeks of blood; he's probably just killed someone. It's best if we avoid him."

………………

"Zeng Dahan, what are you doing here? I remember saying that the day you left Zhigelou, Zhigelou and you were even." Butler Su frowned and asked as he looked at the big man standing outside the counter.

The visitor was the hunter who had once presented the "Divine Foot Manual" and later left to seek revenge.

"Manager Su, I'd like to stay overnight." Zeng Dahan took out a silver ingot and placed it on the counter.

Butler Su shook his head and said, "Our inn is full. You should know that we have no shortage of guests."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look outside the door. He saw several constables from the yamen standing across the street, pointing and gesturing. The burly man in the lead had a serious expression on his face and was staring intently at Zeng Da Han.

Zeng Dahan revealed a half-smile and looked provocatively at the burly man outside the door.

"You should know the rules. If you want to cause trouble, you've chosen the wrong path," Butler Su said, displeased.

Zeng Dahan said, "Manager Su, may I return to my odd jobs?"

"No, that won't do." Butler Su waved his hand and refused outright.

Zeng Dahan's face flushed with anger, but then he looked at Butler Su's ambiguous smile and could only suppress his anger, saying, "Then I can at least eat, right?"

Butler Su nodded and said, "Please make yourself at the dinner table."

At this moment, several constables from across the street outside the door also came in. The burly man in the lead looked at Zeng Dahan, who was standing close by, smiled slightly, and then turned his head and said, "Innkeeper, we would like to stay at your place."

"We are full and cannot accommodate any more customers," said Butler Su.

The burly man wasn't angry. He looked at Zeng Dahan and said, "It seems this brother couldn't get a room either. That's really great."

As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot and placed it on the counter, smiling as he said, "Shopkeeper, we'd like to eat. Please arrange some food and meat."

Butler Su nodded, reached out and gently tapped the counter. With a loud "thump," the sound resounded throughout the hall like a great bell, and everyone in the town fell silent.

"Please make yourselves at home." With a flash, two waiters appeared at the counter, looking at the two groups of people with a half-smile.

The leading constable's eyes narrowed, then he glanced at Zeng Dahan and said, "Don't worry, boss, we all know the rules of Zhige Tower and will never cause trouble." After saying that, he led several constables to a table and sat down.

Zeng Dahan's face turned ugly. Seeing the other person's gaze, he clenched his fists. Then he looked behind the counter and said, "Manager Su, is it really impossible to make an exception..."

"Ha! Who do you think you are? Do you want to eat? If not, get out!" one of the waiters interrupted.

Butler Su wiped the shiny counter and said calmly, "Zhige Tower doesn't owe you anything. The transaction was settled when you left that day. I didn't hold it against you for secretly learning martial arts, which is already an act of great leniency. You'd better know what's good for you."

Zeng Dahan's expression changed. He pointed to the center of the hall and roared in a low voice, "You took my 'Divine Foot Scripture,' and one set of fist techniques is not enough."

Butler Su put down the rag and looked at Zeng Dahan indifferently without saying a word.

The waiter who had spoken earlier retorted angrily, "Bah! How dare you bring that up? You were the one who came to our shop on your own initiative, and our manager kindly took you in. Who knew you were such an ingrate, daring to deceive my sister and steal her long fist techniques. You'd better pray you don't mess with me, or I'll risk being punished to break your legs."

Butler Su waved his hand and looked at Zeng Dahan, saying, "I'm giving you two choices: either eat or get out. Do you think Zhige Tower won't kill anyone?"

Zeng Dahan didn't say a word, turned around and found a table to sit down. The waiter glared at him hatefully and immediately stood in a corner of the lobby, staring intently at him.

………………

Seeing that Butler Su had returned to his usual self, the lobby returned to normal.

"Who is this guy? He dares to come to Zhige Tower to cause trouble?"

"Hey! It looks familiar, but I just can't remember it."

“What’s there to forget? Isn’t this the guy who used to do odd jobs and chop wood at Zhige Tower? He even broke a plate of meat on my plate. I heard he left later.”

"Huh? He seems to be a wanted criminal in Datong Prefecture. Apparently, he killed the prefectural magistrate and then committed arson, murder, and looting along the way, making him comparable to a bandit."

"What? He killed an official and then went on a killing spree? Has he come back to Zhige Tower to seek refuge?"

"That's unlikely. He's not a waiter at Zhigelou, just a handyman. I'm afraid Manager Su wouldn't bother to protect him."

"This is going to be interesting. Those guys over there must be the constables from Datong Prefecture."

Hearing the murmurs, Zeng Dahan's face turned ugly. He wanted to get angry, but he didn't dare. Several waiters in the hall were staring at him with half-smiles. He knew how powerful these waiters were. Their martial arts skills were far beyond his reach.

The leading constable stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "I am Wang Yi, the chief constable of Datong Prefecture. I am here only for a meal and will not disturb you. Please do not take offense." As he spoke, he smiled at Zeng Da Han before sitting down again.

………………

Suddenly acquiring power that doesn't belong to you will either lead to elevation or corruption.

Zeng Da Han obtained a power that was beyond his control. After killing someone for the first time, he lost control of his mind and acted recklessly in Datong Prefecture, committing wanton killings and incurring the wrath of both heaven and man.

In the small building in the backyard, Su Yuchen, who was pruning the flower branches, was slightly taken aback. Then, with a sweep of his primordial spirit, he understood what was going on.

"A single delusional thought can set your heart ablaze with karmic fire. Has this meant you've been controlled by your inner demons and lost your reason? What a pity! What a pity!"

Su Yuchen scanned Zeng Dahan's body and mind with his primordial spirit. Zeng Dahan's sea of ​​consciousness was turbulent and unpredictable, his mind was restless and he could not control himself. His consciousness was chaotic and he had no willpower left.

Shaking his head, Su Yuchen didn't care. He had given himself the opportunity, but he had to bear the consequences himself.

Chapter 456 Zeng Dahan's Inner Demon Out of Control 2

As time passed, the group of constables finished their meal, paid for a pot of good tea, and sat quietly in the main hall.

Zeng Dahan couldn't help but feel anxious. He knew he would eventually have to leave, and once he stepped out of Zhige Tower, it would be his death day.

“Shopkeeper, you really don’t care about our past relationship at all,” Zeng Dahan said as he slowly stood up.

Butler Su didn't even look up, staring blankly at the door, clearly not taking him seriously. Among the shop assistants, Su Xuan and Su Bei had already straightened up and were three feet away from him in a single step.

Zeng Dahan looked around and said, "Hehe... Don't worry, I know the rules. I won't make a move at Zhige Tower."

He pointed to the list in the center of the hall and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, the ‘Divine Foot Scripture’ is in my hands. Whoever can help me escape, I will give him the ‘Divine Foot Scripture’.”

With a "whoosh," the crowd, who had originally intended to watch the spectacle, erupted in gasps of surprise, completely exploding into chaos.

"The Scripture of Divine Footsteps, is he referring to the Scripture of Divine Footsteps?"

"Really? Does he really have the 'Divine Foot Sutra'?"

"How can you prove that the 'Shenzu Jing' is real and not a lie?"

"We need to inspect the goods first."

"Yes, hand over the Divine Foot Scripture."

……

Amidst the commotion, Zeng Dahan chuckled and raised his voice, saying, "The 'Divine Foot Scripture' is memorized in my head. Besides me, only the people of Zhige Tower in this world know it. Once I die, none of you will be able to obtain the 'Divine Foot Scripture'."

The heroes of the martial arts world all turned to look at Steward Su with a "whoosh".

Butler Su raised his head, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Not bad, I also know the 'Divine Foot Scripture.' Anyone want to give it a try?"

As he spoke, his body trembled, and everyone's vision blurred as if they saw a crimson shockwave emanating from it. The next second, everyone was struck by a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, with wails echoing everywhere. The black figure of the murderous Ying Ye grew larger and larger, filling their hearts like a grim reaper wielding a knife.

Butler Su released and then withdrew his aura, yet many people were still stunned, their eyes glazed over, looking like idiots; even those with strong minds looked at Butler Su with fear, no one could have imagined that the smiling old man in front of them was actually a bloodthirsty butcher.

Among them, Zeng Dahan, who was already on the verge of losing control, completely lost his composure. His eyes turned blood red with blood rushing to them. He roared and then pounced on the person next to him.

The next moment, the wind howled, and amidst the "whoosh..." sound, a dark shadow attacked. Zeng Dahan reached out and grabbed it, his body trembled, and with a "thud," the floor shattered at the same time.

As he opened his right hand, a jet-black abacus bead was seen embedded in his palm.

Everyone looked at the counter. Butler Su regained his usual calm and said indifferently, "Considering this is your first offense, this is a warning. If you dare to make a move again, I guarantee you won't live to see the next one."

Despite the seemingly calm words, everyone shuddered, feeling a chill creep through them, as if they could see the carnage they had just witnessed. Even Zeng Da Han's eyes lost some of their bloodlust, and he regained his composure.

As Zeng Dahan sat down again, the quiet crowd scattered with a commotion. A few skilled and daring individuals gathered in a corner, watching Zeng Dahan's greedy expression.

As the crowd dispersed, the hall returned to silence, with only Zeng Dahan and the constables from Datong Prefecture remaining motionless, quietly waiting for nightfall.

………………

When Yang Tiexin and his daughter came out, Steward Su calmly advised, "Brother Yang, things are not peaceful outside today. It would be best not to hold a challenge this afternoon."

Yang Tiexin and his daughter glanced around and nodded.

Butler Su glanced at the sky and said, "Lunchtime is over, you should go now."

Wang Yi stood up, glanced at Zeng Dahan, and led his men out the door, standing quietly across the street from the restaurant.

"You should go too!" Butler Su said to Zeng Dahan.

As Zeng Dahan stood up, the men in the corner exchanged glances and followed him at a distance toward the door.

………………

The long street was spotless.

The once bustling streets were now deserted, with a crowd of onlookers gathered at a distance of six or seven feet, quietly watching Zeng Dahan walk out of the door.

When he reached the middle of the long street, several constables were already on high alert, their hands on the hilts of their knives.

"Gentlemen, these are wanted criminals of the imperial court. Are you all willing to break the law?" Wang Yi asked, looking at the group opposite him.

Behind Zeng Dahan, a man with a long sword slung over his shoulder said with a grin, "We're just helping out when we see injustice. Once we capture this guy, we'll hand him over to the authorities."

As they spoke, the crowd jostled and pushed, and six people emerged from the crowd at the same time. They were none other than Master Lingzhi, Sha Tongtian, and his four disciples.

“Zeng Dahan, hand over the ‘Divine Foot Scripture,’ and the young prince may treat you leniently,” Sha Tongtian said.

Zeng Dahan narrowed his eyes and said, "Who are you? Who is the Little Prince? Can he save my life?"

Sha Tongtian cursed inwardly that this guy was an idiot. How could someone openly talk about protecting a murderer? Everyone does their work quietly, without making a fuss!

Seeing that Sha Tongtian remained silent, Zeng Dahan's face darkened. He looked at the crowd around him and let out a strange, cackling laugh. In a flash, he lunged at the constables opposite him.

………………

"Son..."

On the third floor of the restaurant, sensing the sudden appearance of Su Yuchen, Butler Su hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Su Yuchen waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities, and then used his divine eye to look at Zeng Dahan, who was becoming increasingly mad on the street.

【You saw the mad Zeng Dahan】
