Chapter 218 The Origins of the Dragon Shock Society and the Emperor's Shocking Secret (Two Chapters Combined)

"The ocean is turbulent!"

Almost simultaneously, Jiang Yunbo's eyes also reddened; he knew this was his only chance.

He roared and, disregarding his injuries, poured all his remaining strength into his still-intact hand, striking at Li Fu with an indomitable and suicidal spirit!

The palm strike was fierce and powerful, with the force of the palm seemingly carrying the sound of raging waves and the force of crashing waves. This was the ultimate killing move of his "Turbulent Waves Palm".

One after the other, the two masters fought a desperate battle, their chilling aura and palm strikes completely sealing off Li Fu's space to dodge!

hum!

Faced with the deadly attack from both sides, Li Fu's invisible sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, and the sword's momentum changed accordingly!

The sword intent suddenly became solemn, ancient, and vigorous, like an ancient pine tree rooted in a cliff, enduring thousands of years of wind and rain, unmoved by any storm!

This is a move from the "Walking Willow in the Wind" sword technique, which combines defense with offense and uses stillness to control movement—"Ancient Pine Welcomes Guests"!

The sword energy drew a perfectly round and ancient sword circle in front of him. Within the sword circle, layers of sword energy overlapped and circulated endlessly, as if containing the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

Guo Zhugui's incredibly refined pillar of icy, frigid energy crashed into the sword circle, only to be thwarted and disintegrated by the layers of flowing sword energy, like a mud ox entering the sea.

The speed decreased sharply, and the cold air dissipated greatly!

Li Fu then casually drew his sword, condensing it into a tangible sword of energy, and thrust it straight into Jiang Yunbo's palm!

puff!

Jiang Yunbo's palm strike was as fragile as paper before the invisible sword of energy, easily pierced through!

The sword's momentum didn't diminish, instantly piercing his palm.

Even with Jiang Yunbo's full effort, nothing changed this time.

"There are many martial arts and hidden weapons in the world that claim to be able to break through internal energy, but nothing can compare to this invisible sword of energy that is solidified yet tangible."

Attacking me with such tactics is a waste of effort and a path to certain death.

As Li Fu's cold voice rang out.

Click!

A sickening sound of bones cracking rang out.

Jiang Yunbo let out a deafening scream. Now, his only intact arm, from the shoulder blade to the fingertips, was torn apart and shredded inch by inch by the sharp sword energy!

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body was thrown backward, and he crashed heavily onto the deck, tumbling several times before he could no longer get up and could only groan in pain.

Guo Zhugui and Jiang Yunbo had already been aware of the terror of Li Fu's invisible sword energy during their previous encounter.

They were all renowned masters in the martial arts world, possessing profound inner strength and refined true energy, capable of temporarily deflecting incoming swords and blades when they unleashed their power.

However, when faced with Li Fu's invisible sword of qi, which was formed from condensed qi and was incomparably sharp, their true qi was as fragile as thin paper and crumbled at the slightest touch.

If they continued fighting, they would ultimately be completely helpless against Li Fu's unpredictable and ever-changing sword energy.

That desperate attack just now was a last-ditch effort made out of desperation.

Now, even this desperate attempt has failed.

Jiang Yunbo lost one arm first, and now his other arm has also been crushed, leaving him a cripple, on the verge of death, and with no fighting ability left.

Seeing this scene, Guo Zhugui felt a deep chill and resentment welling up in his heart.

He glanced at Li Fu, who stood with his sword in hand, exuding an aura of profound power, then stepped back, slammed his foot on the deck, and moved like lightning. He ignored the seriously injured Jiang Yunbo and the mess, and rushed straight towards the cabin of the ship!

He had already ordered his men to piece together a map in the cabin based on the embroidery and mnemonic rhymes on Zuo Yuncheng's back.

Seeing that the situation was not good, although abandoning allies and deserting in the face of battle was not in his nature, the map was of great importance, concerning the grand plan of the Jinglong Society and their Guo family, and was far more important than personal honor or even Jiang Yunbo's life!

The map must be taken away and returned to the association!

boom!

Guo Zhugui shattered the hatch with a single palm strike and rushed inside.

The cabin was brightly lit, and several painters and scribes were gathered around a table. On the table was a silk map that had just been pieced together and was still covered with fresh ink.

Upon seeing Guo Zhugui burst in, one person exclaimed in surprise.

"Three Dragon Heads!"

The map is now —

Guo Zhugui had no interest in listening to his nonsense. His eyes were fixed on the map drawn on the table. He grabbed it, slapped the men away with one hand to silence them, and turned to break through the window to escape using his lightness skill to cross the water and make a quick getaway.

"Trying to leave?"

Li Fu moved with light steps, his figure flashing to the cabin door. With a flick of his sword finger, an invisible sword of energy, as graceful as a dragon, pierced straight at Guo Zhugui's back!

Although Guo Zhugui was startled, he remained calm and turned around, unleashing a surge of cold energy in an attempt to defend himself.

But he was already seriously injured and flustered, how could he withstand the sharpness of Li Fu's Six Meridians Divine Sword?

laugh!

laugh!

With sword energy surging, Guo Zhugui was defeated in just a few moves.

The ice-soul true energy wall he painstakingly erected was easily torn apart.

A condensed sword aura, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, precisely pierced his right chest!

puff!

Guo Zhugui felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer. He spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered back several steps, crashed into the cabin wall, and slowly slid to the ground, his robes quickly becoming stained red with blood.

The map he was clutching tightly in his hand slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground.

"Three dragon heads!"

On the deck, the several experts from the Jinglong Society who were originally engaged in a fierce battle with the Constable Commander—the Giant Sword, the Yin-Yang Judge, and the Poisonous Heart Qin Niang—were all terrified when they saw Guo Zhugui lying on the ground, seriously injured.

However, the Dragon Shock Society had strict rules, and although they were afraid, they had no choice but to bite the bullet, abandon their leader, and rush towards Li Fu in an attempt to rescue him.

"court death."

Li Fu's eyes turned cold, and he pointed his sword repeatedly.

The unparalleled sharpness of the Six Meridians Divine Sword was now fully revealed. The sword energy was as fast as lightning, as condensed as a substance, capable of cutting through gold and jade, and was indestructible.

Facing opponents whose martial arts skills were slightly inferior, they were utterly crushed, like cutting melons and vegetables.

After only five or six moves, the Giant Sword barely managed to block one attack. Just as it raised its giant sword, a sword aura pierced through its throat.

The judge's pen, along with his hands holding it, was severed at the wrist.

The Poisonous Heart Qin Maiden's zither had only emitted two wave-like sounds when it was cleaved in two by a sword. Immediately afterward, a flash of sword light appeared, and the red mark between her eyebrows expanded, causing her to fall backward to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, these notorious members of the Jinglong Society, who were notorious in the martial arts world, were all killed by the invisible sword energy, without even being able to put up a decent resistance.

"Brother Li's sword energy is truly divine and its power is astonishing."

The constable, clutching his injured shoulder, walked over, panting heavily, his face showing undisguised shock.

"It is also thanks to their efforts in keeping the commander occupied that they have exhausted a lot of their internal energy."

Li Fudao.

Guo Zhugui struggled to raise his head, not even glancing at the approaching constable, but staring intently at Li Fu, who stood calmly with his sword sheathed, and gave a bitter smile, coughing up blood as he spoke.

"The sword energy has taken shape—it truly lives up to its name."

Ah—for so many years, the art of solidifying sword energy has been lost to the martial world, with only legends remaining—

Heaven is fair. If such terrifying and profound martial arts skills are mastered by people in every generation, it would be a great tragedy for the martial arts practitioners of the same era, especially swordsmen.

He took a few breaths, his eyes filled with confusion and resentment.

"But God—it's unfair!"

"You—so young, how could you have mastered such—unfathomable and unparalleled skills?"

Li Fu remained expressionless.

Actually, there are some differences between the Six Meridians Divine Sword and the Sword Qi Condensation.

As long as one practices step by step, with sufficient internal energy and time, one can master it; it is not necessary to reach the highest level of swordsmanship.

After mastering sword energy, you can gradually explore and refine your skills.

This is where the Six Meridians Divine Sword surpasses the Sword Qi Condensation technique; it can also be said to be a martial art specifically for cultivating Sword Qi Condensation.

The mere mention of such a remarkable skill would likely drive any martial artist, especially a swordsman, into a frenzy.

The constable looked at Guo Zhugui, who was slumped on the ground, barely breathing, and said sternly.

"Guo Zhugui, your Jinglong Society colluded with the Caobang gang, attempting to rob important criminals of the imperial court, spying on the secret passages of the Forbidden City, and plotting treason. You deserve to die a thousand deaths."

Now that the conspiracy has failed, what else do you have to say?

Guo Zhugui suddenly turned around, staring intently at the constable, his eyes blazing with astonishing hatred and mockery. He spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Haha, is my Jinglong Society plotting a rebellion?"

joke!

What a big joke!

Have you forgotten what the dynasty originally belonged to after bowing to your Zhao Song emperor for so long? Have you forgotten how the Song dynasty came to power?

Who exactly committed treason? Who deserves to die?!

The constable's expression changed, as if he wanted to refute.

Guo Zhugui became even more agitated, ignoring his injuries, coughing up blood, and raising his voice.

"My Jinglong Society, my Guo family, are the true heirs of Heaven's Mandate!"

The Jinglong Society, originally named the Jinglong Society, was founded by my ancestor, Emperor Wusu Guo Long, when he served as the commander of the army. It was used to win over and cultivate generals and leaders in the army!

It was with the help of this association that our ancestors were able to rise step by step to become great rulers and establish a great enterprise!

Once our ancestor ascended the throne, the Whale Dragon Society transformed into the Whale Dragon Guard, who secretly monitored officials and protected the palace!

"If Song Yuanlang hadn't committed treason, bullied orphans and widows, and donned the yellow robe for himself, this empire and this throne should have been ruled by my Guo family for generations, and the court should have been overseen by the Whale Dragon Guard!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, and blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Your Great Zhao Emperor Song Yuanlang seized my Guo family's empire, and feeling guilty and in the wrong, you want to exterminate all the former subordinates of our ancestors."

Do you want to wipe out the Whale Dragon Society?

Can he kill them all?

His imperial airs of the Song Dynasty were inherited from my Guo family.

Throughout the government and the military, how many people have ancestors who received favors from my Guo family?

How many people still yearn for their former master?

Even though he was just a general under my ancestor Guo back then, he also joined the Whale Dragon Society and gathered with others under my ancestor's command before he ascended the throne.

Just wait, this world will eventually return to its rightful owner, to the hands of my Guo family!

Li Fu listened quietly, deeply moved.

He had already killed more than one or two members of the Jinglong Society, but only now did he learn the origins of the Jinglong Society, which the imperial court was trying so hard to cover up.

The Jinglong Society was indeed established long before the previous dynasty, but it still had many connections with the previous dynasty.

This was a secret organization created by the former emperor Guo Long before he established his own court and was still a general under someone else. It was initially a force that Guo Long cultivated in the army, the prototype of the former court, and later became the royal guard.

After Emperor Taizu of Zhao, Song Yuanlang, usurped the throne, he purged the former dynasty's forces. The Whale Dragon Guard was forced to revert to the Whale Dragon Society and was even forced to go underground, changing its name to the Shocking Dragon Society, determined to avenge the loss and restore the country.

"No wonder the legendary Dragon Shock Society has a deep-rooted and far-reaching influence."

"Speaking of the old guard of the Jinglong Society, even Emperor Taizu of Zhao couldn't escape it."

"The events of the previous dynasty have faded into nothingness."

The change of divine artifacts is ordained by Heaven.

The constable refuted him in a deep voice.

"Destiny?"

Hahaha!"

Guo Zhugui seemed to have heard the most ridiculous thing in the world, and he laughed so hard that he coughed up more blood clots.

"If Song Yuanlang were to rule this country, although we Guo family members would hate him, we would have to admit that he had the demeanor of a great ruler, having conquered all the other states and unified the land!"

But what about your current Song Dynasty emperor?

He indulged in pleasure, embarked on massive construction projects, and created the wasteful and extravagant "Flower and Stone Tribute" to exploit the entire nation in order to support his own pursuit of immortality!

Once the palace gates are closed, he ignores the plight of the common people and only cares about his own delusional dream of immortality!

How dare such a foolish ruler claim that his destiny was ordained by Heaven?

Pooh!"

He vehemently refuted the claims while coughing violently due to the severity of his injuries, his front blouse stained with blood.

The constable's face was ashen, yet he seemed unable to refute some of the emperor's actions.

"I know—I know what kind of pipe dream your official is having!"

He vainly sought immortality, believing himself to be a peerless martial artist who could break through the boundaries between heaven and man, ascend to that legendary realm, live forever, and sit eternally on the dragon throne—ah, throughout history, how many foolish rulers have had such delusions in their later years!

I'm telling you, that's absolutely unacceptable—"

Guo Zhugui's voice grew louder and louder.

"shut up!"

The constable's expression changed drastically, as if he had heard some forbidden secret about to be revealed, and his eyes were instantly filled with panic and killing intent.

He suddenly shouted to interrupt, and with a swift flick of his index finger, a sharp gust of wind shot out, heading straight for Guo Zhugui's throat!

puff!

A bloody hole appeared, and Guo Zhugui made a gurgling sound in his throat. His eyes widened, but he showed no fear, only resentment and mockery. He seemed to want to say something, but he could no longer make a sound. His head tilted to the side, and he died.

The assassin, who appeared out of nowhere, was clearly frightened by the shocking secret that Guo Zhugui was about to reveal. He was afraid that others present would hear it and bring about their own deaths, so he did everything he could to silence them.

"Breaking through the boundaries between heaven and man, intending to achieve immortality?"

Li Fu raised an eyebrow.

That official, who lives deep within the palace, wants to break through the barriers, reach an unbelievable level of martial arts, transcend the limits of heaven and man, and achieve immortality.

Is the Dragon Shock Society's eagerness to seize the map of the palace's secret passage closely related to this?

Just as Li Fu was reeling from this earth-shattering secret, his mind racing, his extraordinary hearing suddenly detected an extremely faint...

The barely audible sound of water entering the water came from somewhere behind the cabin.

The sound was drowned out by the river waves and the noise on the deck; if he hadn't possessed profound inner strength and keen perception, he would have had a hard time noticing it.

Li Fu's eyes flashed like lightning as he immediately turned toward the cabin where the sound was coming from. Although his vision could not penetrate the layers of wooden planks, the rapidly receding breathing sound gave him a vague sense of familiarity.

The constable was in a state of excitement because the earth-shattering secret was about to be revealed. He looked around to see if anyone else had heard it, but he did not notice the subtle movement.

Li Fu turned his gaze to Zuo Yuncheng inside the cabin, who had been given a "divine poison" and had his speech acupoints sealed to prevent any resistance or struggle by the Jinglong Society.

He had just been sent flying by Guo Zhugui's casual palm strike, but Guo Zhugui was a rare master and still had a breath left.

Zuo Yuncheng's eyes showed panic. He seemed to want to shout, but his gaze was withdrawn from the back of the cabin, in the direction where the expert had fled. He was uneasy and conflicted, afraid of being discovered.

A thought struck Li Fu, and he instantly understood.

"The map—it's likely that more than one copy was made!"
