The Villain's Counterattack

After practicing dual cultivation with Huang Rong, Yang Kang's martial arts not only improved greatly, but his realm was also elevated. As his "Tai Chi Magic Skill" approached perfection, his whole temperament seemed to have changed greatly. All the masculine energy in his body was restrained, and he looked like an ordinary, harmless scholar.

Although he did not reveal his edge, he arranged the military affairs of Shandong properly. He was tough where he needed to be, and gentle where he needed to be gentle. He forced the Mongolian army to not dare to move eastward.

Having temporarily put aside his worries, Yang Kang returned to the Jiaodong Palace with Huang Rong and Cheng Yaojia. He personally saw Princess Zhao off and held his son in his arms for the first time. Yang Kang thought for a long time about his son's name, but ultimately chose Shoucheng instead of Yang Guo. Yang Kang did not want his son to achieve great things, but rather hoped that he would protect the legacy he left behind and at the same time protect his family.

Mu Nianci liked this name very much and was very happy about Huang Rong's arrival, but sometimes she looked at Yang Kang with a strange look. Her martial arts skills were already quite good and her body recovered quickly, so she also practiced the ancient tomb sect's martial arts with Huang Rong and Cheng Yaojia. She also admired Lin Chaoying very much.

"What's there to admire about a stupid woman who is willing to live and die for love?" Yang Kang's words provoked the three women to attack him vigorously, and then forced Yang Kang to use Quanzhen swordsmanship to deal with the Jade Girl Swordsmanship of the three of them. As a result, Yang Kang defeated them easily.

Facing the three women's questioning, Yang Kang's answer was very simple, "Swordsmanship is dead, but people are alive. My swordsmanship has reached the realm of primordial unity. I can use any swordsmanship at will, without any restrictions. How can you be so good at it?"

His self-righteous, arrogant look made the three women grumble. Yang Kang turned his gaze and suddenly said loudly, "Mr. Ouyang has been here for a long time. Are you planning to keep looking at me like this?"

"Haha, the young prince's swordsmanship is superb. Even I wouldn't dare to claim victory over him. In just two years, the young prince's cultivation has improved so much. It's truly something to celebrate." Ouyang Feng laughed heartily as he leaped from the back wall. After a few jumps, he landed lightly in front of everyone. He first bowed to Yang Kang and then turned his gaze to Huang Rong: "You are a clever and eccentric girl, but you deceived me so badly."

Huang Rong chuckled and said to Ouyang Feng, "Uncle Ouyang finally found me. I wonder how he found me? You know, although there were some clues along the way, I followed His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi since we arrived in Shandong. His military management is quite skillful, so I don't think anyone would reveal my whereabouts."

Ouyang Feng nodded and said, "That's the biggest flaw. Although you're a bit cunning, you're still a bit naive. Although I was misled by you, I finally caught you. However, I couldn't find you after searching all the way to Shandong. I searched the entire city but couldn't find any trace of you. I asked around, but there was no trace of you in the outside world either. That's when I thought of the young prince, but he had already set off for Jiaodong, so I hurried to find him."

"The young prince is a master at commanding his troops, so naturally I couldn't get any useful information. I had no choice but to come here in person to gather information. I never thought that the young prince would actually expose you directly without making any attempt to hide it." Ouyang Feng said this and cast his eyes on Yang Kang. "The young prince's martial arts, I admire you very much, but this girl is of great use to me. I hope the young prince will let her go. Ouyang Feng will definitely reward you handsomely."

Mu Nianci and Cheng Yaojia were shocked when they heard this and hurriedly grabbed the corner of Yang Kang's clothes, hoping that he would reject this proposal. They had heard the story of Ouyang Feng from Huang Rong and knew that he was not a good person. Instead, Huang Rong looked at him with a smile and said nothing.

"Mr. Ouyang is my honored guest. Normally, I shouldn't refuse. But this girl used the Qimen Dunjia technique of Peach Blossom Island in exchange for my protection and some martial arts suitable for women. Although I don't want to offend Mr. Ouyang, I can't break the contract at will." Yang Kang looked at Ouyang Feng with an apologetic look on his face, and the latter's face darkened slightly.

"My young prince, are you really going to become my enemy for this girl?" As the date of the Huashan Sword Contest approaches, Ouyang Feng gradually becomes anxious. In addition, with the "Reversing the Nine Yin Scriptures" given to him by Huang Rong, Ouyang Feng is no longer the same as before.

Yang Kang shook his head slightly and said, "That's not the case. I want to do a business with Mr. Ouyang."

"What kind of business?" Ouyang Feng was greatly surprised. He didn't know what kind of medicine Yang Kang was selling in his gourd.

"I will guarantee that Miss Huang will spend one hour every day in the Jiaodong Palace helping Mr. Ouyang interpret the scriptures. Mr. Ouyang must promise not to force Miss Huang and teach me the secret method of snake exorcism at White Camel Villa. What do you think, Mr. Ouyang?"

Ouyang Feng was quite surprised and said, "Young Prince, knowing that this girl has the Nine Yin Manual, you are not tempted at all. You only want the snake-driving technique?"

Yang Kang shook his head slightly and suddenly asked, "Mr. Ouyang, may I ask, after learning the Nine Yin Manual, is it more useful on the battlefield than the Dragon Elephant Prajna Paramita Kung Fu, the Iron Shirt, and the Yang Family Spear Technique? Can it be compared to the damage inflicted by thousands of poisonous snakes on the Mongol army?"

"Well, probably not." Ouyang Feng thought about it for a moment and understood what Yang Kang meant. He was guessing the thoughts of a prince from the perspective of a man in the martial arts world. In his mind, the "Nine Yin Scriptures" might not be as good as a military strategy, just like the "Wu Mu Testament" that Wanyan Honglie had been pursuing hard before.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Feng decided to show his goodwill to Yang Kang. "Then, let's follow the young prince's idea. The art of Qimen Dunjia is amazing and very beneficial for marching and fighting. However, the young prince doesn't know that the "Wu Mu's Testament" that the prince has been searching for is also in the hands of this girl."

Yang Kang's eyes lit up, and his gaze fell on Huang Rong. He said calmly, "Girl, I have a light martial art called the Soaring Cloud Ladder, which is not inferior to the Quanzhen Sect's Golden Goose Kung Fu. How about exchanging it for the Wu Mu Testament?"

Huang Rong glared at Yang Kang fiercely and said, "Nothing." Then she turned to Ouyang Feng and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is willing to guarantee, I believe Uncle Ouyang will keep his promise. Your young prince's martial arts skills are in no way inferior to the Five Greatest Masters in the World. If he participates in the Huashan Sword Contest, no one else will be able to hold the top spot in the world."

Ouyang Feng's heart moved slightly when he heard this. Yang Kang also turned his gaze to Ouyang Feng and smiled, "If Mr. Ouyang wants to join forces with me, that's fine. I will consume the internal energy of the others, and you will defeat them and gain the title of the world's number one. As long as you agree to become the Jin Kingdom's National Master afterwards, everything will be fine."

Ouyang Feng glanced at Huang Rong, Mu Nianci, and Cheng Yaojia, and said in a deep voice, "This matter requires further consideration. Huang Yaoshi, Emperor Duan, and the old beggar are not easy to deal with."

Yang Kang knew he was already moved, but he just couldn't admit it in front of others. He turned to Huang Rong and said, "I have a skill called 'Beauty Boxing', which is very effective in cultivating a woman's figure and temperament."

"Deal!" Huang Rong's choice almost broke Ouyang Feng's waist. This choice really, really made him speechless, but he really couldn't guess what a girl was thinking.
