The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens
Chapter 29 Kumārajīva's Strategic Retreat Back to Suzhou
His sudden change in tactics caught Ling Feng off guard.
After all, although Ling Feng has innate combat power, he still lacks combat experience, so he is still a little lacking in adaptability.
After frantically dealing with two moves, Ling Feng immediately changed his fighting style, unleashing the full power of the Nine-Layer Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, and confronting his opponent head-on. His sword became merely a prop.
This is the abnormality of the Lingfeng Dual System; it can be both soft and hard, and both young women and wives love it.
The fighting style on the field immediately changed, becoming a brutal, hand-to-hand combat that gave people a very exciting feeling.
Although the onlookers were thrilled, Kumārajīva was a bit dumbfounded, because Ling Feng's fighting style was even more abnormal. Only now did he realize that Ling Feng had really been playing with his sword just now.
"Kid, you've got some skills. Since you're so insistent on sticking your neck out, I'll give you face today. I'm sure we'll meet again someday, but next time I won't let you off so easily."
Kumārajīva was a man who could be both tough and soft. Even though he knew he was no match for Ling Feng, he forced Ling Feng back with one move, uttered a harsh word, and then ran away.
He arrived with great style, but left in a sorry state. However, no one in the audience was in the mood to laugh at him, because they were all his defeated opponents. If Ling Feng hadn't suddenly intervened today, who knows what would have happened.
Seeing that Kumārajīva had made a threatening statement and was about to run away, Ling Feng had no intention of chasing after him. After all, Ling Feng wasn't confident that he could catch him if he did.
Moreover, Ling Feng believed that they would meet again soon, because if nothing unexpected happened, Kumārajīva's next stop should be the Murong family's Swallow's Nest.
In fact, Kumārajīva had two purposes this time: first, to obtain the Six Meridians Divine Sword of Dali, and second, to acquire the martial arts techniques collected by the Murong family.
It should be noted that the Murong family has collected a considerable number of martial arts techniques over the years. Not to mention their family's unique skills, the total number of martial arts techniques collected by the Murong family over the years is not small, and some of them are even the top martial arts techniques of the time.
After Kumārajīva left, Ling Feng twirled his sword and sheathed it.
Seeing Ling Feng's flashy movements, the surrounding crowd almost cheered, but the old monk, Ku Rong, remained steadfast and spoke first to Ling Feng:
"If it weren't for your sudden intervention, young hero, our temple might have been in trouble. Thank you for your help."
Seeing his dry thanks, Ling Feng thought to himself, "That's it, nothing more. He didn't say anything practical. If all else fails, I could at least take a look at the Six Meridians Divine Sword manual!" Although he thought this, he certainly couldn't say it out loud.
“Master, you don’t need to be so polite. That Tibetan national teacher is domineering. I couldn’t stand his behavior, so I taught him a lesson.”
Although Ling Feng's words were polite, they had a bit of a Versailles feel to them, and no one had anything to say about it, since it was indeed the truth.
Everyone then expressed their gratitude to Ling Feng, because if Ling Feng hadn't been there today, they didn't know how things would have turned out.
After dealing with everyone, Ling Feng immediately took his leave, saying that there was an urgent matter at home that required him to return as soon as possible.
Since Ling Feng had already said that, the others felt embarrassed to try and persuade him to stay any longer.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Ling Feng and Duan Zhengchun returned to the Prince's Mansion together, and then Ling Feng led his own old horse on the road.
Ling Feng was so eager to leave because he thought that Kumārajīva might go to Mantuo Manor, just like in the original story.
If I don't go back, the few small fry at Mantuo Manor will be hard to handle.
Furthermore, Duan Yu's predicament has been largely resolved. As long as he doesn't go out and cause trouble again, he should be safe from any further danger.
Although Ling Feng was worried about the safety of Mantuo Manor, he did not forget his promise to Zhong Ling and the other two women.
When he returned to Wanjie Valley, he found that the traces of the previous battle had been mostly cleared away, and even the large trees at the entrance of the valley had been repaired.
As soon as Ling Feng entered Wanjie Valley, he was discovered by the servants inside. These people recognized Ling Feng and quickly ran in to report to him.
Before long, Zhong Ling ran out first. She was naturally very happy to see Ling Feng return. During this time, she had been anxious and worried that Ling Feng would not come back. Now that Ling Feng had returned, she was sure she would express her longing.
"Brother Feng, you're finally back! I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
"How could I possibly abandon our lively and lovely Ling'er?"
Seeing the girl's somewhat anxious and uncertain expression, Ling Feng felt a little guilty. He hadn't expected the girl to have such deep feelings for him.
Now that Ling Feng had returned, the girl no longer had any worries and soon began chattering to him about the interesting things that had happened since he left. Ling Feng listened patiently.
Sometimes feelings are like that; once you've fallen for someone, you want to be together every moment. So the girl kept talking, as if she wanted to pour out all the longing she had felt over the past two weeks.
After the girl had finished speaking, she took Ling Feng to meet Zhong Wanchou and his wife.
After exchanging pleasantries with them, Ling Feng learned from them that Mu Wanqing had already left, and they didn't know where she had gone for the time being. It was said that she had left with her master.
Upon hearing this news, Ling Feng also began to feel a headache coming on. This part wasn't in the original story, and he didn't have time to look for people here right now.
Now that Kumārajīva has left ahead of time, his next stop will likely be the same as in the original story: first heading to the Murong family's Swallow's Nest, and then A'Zhu and A'Bi will most likely lead him to Mantuo Manor. If he doesn't return, Mantuo Manor will probably be unable to cope.
Since Mu Wanqing is not here and her whereabouts are unknown, Ling Feng can only rush back first and find a way to locate her after resolving the matter.
Ling Feng then told the three that he had received news that his home was about to be attacked by a powerful enemy, and that he had to rush back as soon as possible.
They were also told that if Mu Wanqing returned, she could go to Suzhou to find him.
After explaining the situation to the three of them, Ling Feng prepared to continue his journey. He knew that Kumārajīva had already left, and if he delayed any longer, he feared he would not be able to catch up with him.
Ling Feng was determined to leave, and Zhong Wanchou and his wife could not persuade him to stay. They could only let him go. Of course, Zhong Ling would definitely go with him. After all, this was an opportunity she had fought for by crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. How could she let it go?
Because of the long distance, they would definitely be traveling alone on horseback, since Ling Feng's sluggish horse couldn't possibly carry both of them back quickly.
Although the journey was rushed, Ling Feng was not lonely along the way. After all, with Zhong Ling, the source of joy, it was hard to feel lonely.
In the first few days of their journey, Zhong Ling was quite reserved, always booking a room by herself whenever she rested. Ling Feng didn't object to this, after all, he wasn't the kind of person who thought with his lower body.
However, on the sixth day, fate gave them an opportunity. They arrived at a small town and prepared to rest there for the night. But when they went to check into the inn, there was only one room left.
It was already dark outside, and it was clearly impossible to continue traveling, so the two of them had no choice but to share a room.
