Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

After everyone was seated, Lu Guanying pondered for a moment and slowly said, "To be honest, Young Hero Yin, your senior sister and I were not in Jiaxing City before, but in the Taihu Lake area. Back then, Guiyun Manor in Taihu Lake had a certain reputation in the martial arts world."

"It was only after Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, caused a great disturbance at Guiyun Manor in Taihu Lake and burned it down that your senior sister and I moved here and rebuilt Guiyun Manor."

"When Guiyun Manor was at its peak, Lu was in charge of controlling the various water pirates on Taihu Lake, resisting the Jin people, and fighting against the imperial court. He was famous and powerful."

"But things are not what they used to be. They have long since lost all connection with the bandits of Taihu Lake. Perhaps it was because they controlled various water bandits back then that they inevitably made enemies. Some people see that Guiyun Manor has declined and want to seek revenge."

"Or perhaps, someone in the court deliberately instigated this to destroy my Guiyun Manor!"

Duan Zhengchun frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Is this matter related to the Song court?!"

Lu Guanying nodded, then shook his head, and said solemnly, "I'm just guessing. After all, when he was suppressing the bandits of Taihu Lake, he did indeed clash with the imperial court many times, which brought trouble upon himself."

"In today's court, treacherous officials are in power, the emperor is incompetent, and the court is in a state of chaos. There's no guarantee that someone won't hold a grudge because of what happened back then."

“Last night I received news that a large number of bandits from Taihu Lake have arrived in Jiaxing City, intending to wipe out my Guiyun Manor! That’s why I made an excuse to send Young Hero Yin away this morning, just so you wouldn’t get involved in this mess.”

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said calmly, "I appreciate Master Lu's kindness, but since Senior Sister is here, how can I stand idly by? Otherwise, how can I face Uncle Sun when I go back?"

"Actually, I had already guessed what you were hiding, so I didn't leave at all. I even sent Ying'er to the city to investigate. Recently, quite a few suspicious-looking martial arts figures have come to Jiaxing City. It seems that they are indeed up to no good."

"However, please rest assured, Master Lu and Senior Sister, now that I have decided to intervene, I will ensure that nothing happens to Guiyun Manor!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojia couldn't help but show her gratitude, and stood up to bow to Duan Zhengchun with clasped hands.

Lu Guanying also stood up, looked at Duan Zhengchun seriously, and said slowly, "Thank you for your help, Young Hero Yin, but please put your own safety first, otherwise I will not be at ease! The enemy may come at any time, and we need to prepare as soon as possible!"

Duan Zhengchun smiled and agreed, then took Cheng Ying back to the backyard and moved into their original room.

Lu Guanying and his wife also continued their preparations, bracing for the upcoming fierce battle.

...

In the dead of night, Duan Zhengchun left his room wide open, leaning lazily in his chair, watching Cheng Ying silently pour him wine.

His broken sword lay on the table, within easy reach.

Do you know what to do when facing an opponent far stronger than yourself?

Duan Zhengchun picked up his wine glass, brought it to his lips, and asked a question casually.

Cheng Ying hesitated for a moment, then slowly replied, "Find his weakness and seize the opportunity to win!"

Duan Zhengchun shook his head directly and said seriously, "Wrong!"

Cheng Ying looked puzzled and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Duan Zhengchun gazed at the night outside the door and said calmly, "You only have two choices. First, deliberately reveal a weakness to lure the enemy in and try to kill them with one blow! But you must be absolutely certain. If you are not, then you only have the second option!"

Cheng Ying looked at Duan Zhengchun curiously and asked, "What?!"

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said in a deep voice, "Escape! If you can't kill him in one blow, you will die! The only way is to escape! As long as you're alive, you can always find another chance to defeat him!"

"Although you are talented and your skills are much better than before, you are still far from being a master. Never fight head-on when you encounter an enemy. Survival is the most important thing! There are always people more skilled than you. Always keep a backup plan and never reveal your last trump card to the enemy!"

Cheng Ying nodded silently, recalling every word Duan Zhengchun had said and memorizing it deeply.

Duan Zhengchun said nothing more, drinking his wine while looking out the door, also anticipating tonight's fierce battle.

No matter what kind of enemy he faced, he never used his full strength, so to this day no one knows his true power.

Only in this way, apart from an extraordinary master like Dugu Qiubai, no one can be absolutely certain of killing him!

"coming!"

After an unknown amount of time, Duan Zhengchun, holding a wine glass, suddenly narrowed his eyes and uttered two words.

Then the peaceful night was suddenly shattered!

Dozens of dark figures swiftly swept over the walls and eaves, like venomous snakes, and rushed madly into Guiyun Manor!

Moments later, shouts of battle and the clang of metal resounded throughout the entire mansion!

In the front yard, Lu Guanying and Cheng Yaojia led twenty or thirty servants to instantly engage in a fierce battle with the approaching enemy!

Master Kumu, who was holding a Buddhist rosary, also joined the battle. In order to protect the safety of Guiyun Manor, he had no choice but to start a massacre!

In the backyard, only Duan Zhengchun and Cheng Ying were stationed. Besides the two of them, the women of Guiyun Manor also lived there!

Cheng Ying silently bowed to Duan Zhengchun, who was sitting motionless in the chair, then drew her sword and rushed out of the room, immediately engaging in combat with more than a dozen black-clad assassins who had infiltrated the backyard.

As Duan Zhengchun drank his wine, he watched Cheng Ying dodge and weave through the assassins' encirclement, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The Spirit Butterfly Chasing the Moon Sword Technique is a sword technique designed for killing! Its true power is revealed only in actual combat!

The reason he created this sword technique and taught it to Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying was to save their lives in critical moments!

Although he taught them martial arts, he never truly regarded them as his disciples.

As time went on, Cheng Ying, who had initially been able to handle the assassins' attacks with ease, gradually began to falter, and her moves started to become disorganized.

Duan Zhengchun knew the time was right, so he put down his wine cup, picked up his sword from the table, and walked straight to the door.

Just then, drawn by his accomplice, one of the assassins seized the opportunity and slashed Cheng Ying in the back!

Duan Zhengchun's expression darkened instantly, and he rushed over like lightning. Just as the man's blade was about to fall, he drew his sword in a flash!

With a clang of a sword, the assassin who had attacked from behind had his throat severed by Duan Zhengchun's sword!

Before Cheng Ying could react, Duan Zhengchun had already flashed past and charged into the enemy ranks. With his sword, he instantly slaughtered more than a dozen enemies!

Cheng Ying stood there dumbfounded, watching one assassin after another fall easily under Duan Zhengchun's sword. Only then did she realize just how vast the difference in strength between herself and her master and older brother truly was!

Before long, all the dozen or so assassins who had infiltrated the backyard were killed by Duan Zhengchun, without harming anyone in the backyard!

The women slowly opened the door and peered out. When they saw Duan Zhengchun holding a broken sword, their faces were filled with astonishment and fear.

"Close the doors and windows! No one is allowed to come out until the battle is over!"

Duan Zhengchun turned and gave an order to the women blocking the doorway, then gestured to Cheng Ying before hurrying towards the front yard.

In the front yard, dozens of assassins dressed in black were attacking Lu Guanying and his wife, as well as several wounded servants!

Although the servants of Guiyun Manor were all skilled in martial arts, they were not people from the martial arts world after all. Their skills and ruthlessness were inferior to those of the enemy, and they suffered heavy losses!

Although Master Kumu was there to support him, he was, after all, a monk, and when it came to fighting, he was hesitant and timid, unable to be ruthless. He had to chant "Amitabha" after killing each person.

As time went on, it became clear that Lu Guanying and his wife were on the verge of collapse, and Lu Guanying had already been injured!

At this critical moment, a sword light suddenly flashed, and then Duan Zhengchun was seen rushing out of the night like lightning and directly into the crowd!

Wherever the sword light touched, screams erupted and blood rained down!

Having gained a respite, Lu Guanying and his wife continued to fight while ordering the remaining servants to carry the seriously wounded and fallen servants to the rear.

Watching Duan Zhengchun move in and out of the assassins like a god of death, the people of Guiyun Manor couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end!

That's what you call murder!

At the same time, Cheng Ying also arrived with his sword and joined Lu Guanying and his wife to fight the enemy together!

As the final battle approached, a figure suddenly appeared again in the night and charged straight into the group of assassins!
