Chapter 61

"If I could capture her and let her recite the world's martial arts, wouldn't that be equivalent to obtaining an inexhaustible martial arts treasure house?!"

A bold thought quietly arose in Ning Chuan's heart.

Just as Zhou Zhou Botong and Southern Murong Fu were fighting intensely.

On the other side, the Four Great Generals of the Southern Murong family could no longer hold back.

They looked at each other, roared in unison, and killed toward the Four Great Evils and the remaining experts of the Hall of One Grade who were besieged by the Peach Blossom Island crowd!

They wanted to join forces with the people from the Hall of One Grade to solve the disciples of Peach Blossom Island first!

Deng Deng Baichuan's thick-backed broadsword was powerful and heavy; every slash carried the power to split mountains and shatter stones!

Gongye Qian's abacus turned into golden light filling the sky, hiding murderous intent, specializing in attacking the enemy's lower three paths!

Bao Butong's judge's pens were tricky and ruthless, every move not leaving the vital points!

Feng Bo'e's iron oar swept across the army, invincible!

The addition of the Four Great Generals instantly greatly reduced the pressure on the people from the Hall of One Grade who were originally in danger!

The situation fell into a stalemate again!

Although the Peach Blossom Island crowd could barely resist by relying on the profound combined-attack array and the strength boost brought by the Flood Dragon Essence Blood bestowed by Ning Chuan.

But facing the siege of so many experts, they were also in precarious situations and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

The Northern Beggar Hong Hong Qigong, who was watching from afar, also had his brows locked and his expression grave at this moment.

He only felt that the situation on Peach Blossom Island today was becoming more and more thorny and complex.

First the Western Xia's Hall of One Grade, and now Southern Southern Murong.

These famous forces in the Jianghu had all gathered here, and their goals seemed to be directed at the Nine Yin Manual and Zhou Zhou Botong.

Behind this, there was likely an even greater conspiracy hidden.

He subconsciously glanced in the direction of the calm pool.

But he still couldn't perceive any aura of Ning Chuan, as if there was nothing under the pool.

He couldn't help but feel anxious inwardly.

How long was this mysterious Flood Dragon Island Master going to stay in seclusion?

If he didn't appear soon, these juniors alone would likely not be able to hold on!

Just as Hong Hong Qigong was anxious and hesitating whether to strike in advance to help.

Suddenly!

Another change occurred!

Four masked figures were seen rushing out silently from the peach forest on the outskirts of Peach Blossom Island again!

These four figures were all wearing black night-traveling clothes, their faces covered with black scarves, revealing only a pair of cold and sharp eyes.

As soon as they appeared, they emitted four incomparably powerful, suffocating grandmaster-level pressures!

They were actually... all grandmaster-level experts!

Moreover, their target was not Qu Qu Lingfeng and the others who were fighting intensely.

But was directed at the Old Urchin Zhou Zhou Botong, who was entangled with Southern Murong Fu and being guided by Wang Wang Yuyan until he was in a state of chaos!

Clearly, their target was also the Nine Yin Manual!

"Not good! Old Urchin is in danger!"

Hong Hong Qigong's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed!

He never expected that there were so many grandmaster experts hidden in the dark!

Moreover, they actually chose to launch a surprise attack on Zhou Zhou Botong at this time!

Southern Murong Fu was also shocked to see these four masked grandmasters who appeared suddenly!

He didn't know their origins, but seeing their clear target directed at Zhou Zhou Botong, his heart sank.

If these people succeeded, wouldn't his hard work today be in vain?!

Zhou Zhou Botong was also wailing, feeling miserable in his heart.

He was already stretched thin dealing with one Southern Murong Fu.

Now four more masked grandmasters whose strength was not below Southern Murong Fu had suddenly appeared!

How could he fight this?!

Without thinking, he wanted to use his light-body technique to escape.

However, those four masked grandmasters were clearly well-prepared.

Their figures flickered, and they surrounded Zhou Zhou Botong in a profound formation!

All four struck at once, and four grandmaster-level true qi of different attributes, yet equally powerful, swept toward Zhou Zhou Botong like a net of heaven and earth!

One palm struck like a dragon, with majestic momentum.

One sword light was like snow, fast as lightning, with chilling sword qi; it was the domineering sword technique of Fusang in the East!

One finger wind was fierce, piercing metal and stone, with a hint of cold and strangeness in the finger strength; it seemed to be some kind of finger technique of the Western Regions Tantric Sect!

One movement was like a ghost, with double claws like hooks, and moves were ruthless.

Although Zhou Zhou Botong was pure by nature and inexperienced in worldly affairs, his martial arts were solid top-tier grandmaster level!

He knew the situation was critical and dared not be the slightest bit negligent.

He exerted his left-right fighting technique to the extreme, simultaneously unleashing the Empty Bright Fist and the Seventy-Two Empty Bright Fists with both hands.

For a time, fist shadows and palm shadows flew all over the sky, clashing fiercely with the attacks of the four masked grandmasters!

"Boom boom boom!"

How terrifying was a grandmaster-level battle?!

The entire Peach Blossom Island seemed to tremble violently under this violent energy impact!

Countless peach trees were uprooted, turning into wood shavings filling the sky!

The hard ground was blasted into huge deep pits!

Flying sand and rolling stones blocked the sky and sun!

It was as if the end of the world had arrived!

Although Zhou Zhou Botong could deal with the siege of multiple experts by relying on his left-right fighting technique.

But two fists were no match for four hands, and a hero couldn't withstand the crowd!

Moreover, these four masked grandmasters were all powerful and cooperated tacitly, clearly well-prepared.

Plus there was a Southern Murong Fu watching from the side, ready to strike from the dark at any time.

Zhou Zhou Botong gradually felt unable to cope, in precarious situations, and was almost hit in the vital points by the opponent's attacks several times.

Just at this critical moment!

The Northern Beggar Hong Hong Qigong, who had been watching from the side, finally couldn't hold back anymore!

He roared angrily, and the emerald bamboo staff in his hand suddenly turned into a green flood dragon!

"Bold fanatics! How dare you bully the few with the many in front of me, Old Beggar! Do you really think I, Old Beggar, am dead?!"

Hong Hong Qigong finally struck!

From the martial arts moves of those four masked grandmasters, he had already faintly recognized their identities and origins!

"Hmph! You rats hiding your heads and showing your tails! Heaven-rank Number One, Duan Tianya; Earth-rank Number One, Guihai Guihai Yidao; Xuan-rank Number One, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang; Huang-rank Number One, Cheng Cheng Shifei."

"Since when did the Four Great Secret Agents of your Protector Dragon Villa become interested in the Nine Yin Manual?!"

"Could it be that the people of the Great Ming Dynasty also want to intervene in the disputes of our Great Song Wu Lin?!"

Hong Hong Qigong's voice was like rolling thunder, filled with boundless anger and majesty!

The Dog-Beating Staff Technique in his hand was unleashed, exquisitely perfect, with thousands of changes!

Picking, flicking, entangling, poking, tripping, or sweeping!

Every move and style contained infinite mysteries, as if an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace to be found!

With his own strength, he actually forcibly blocked the Four Great Secret Agents of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang of the Protector Dragon Villa!

The terrifying strength of the peak of the grandmaster realm was revealed at this moment!

"Hong Hong Qigong! Do you really want to become an enemy of our Great Ming Protector Dragon Villa for the sake of a Zhou Zhou Botong?!"

Heaven-rank Number One Duan Tianya said in a cold voice, the phantom sword in his hand turning into sword shadows filling the sky, clashing fiercely with Hong Hong Qigong's Dog-Beating Staff Technique.

"We are acting under the secret order of the Divine Marquis to retrieve the Nine Yin Manual; this is a matter of national importance. Anyone who dares to block us will be killed without mercy!"

"Pah! What national importance!" Hong Hong Qigong scolded angrily, "The Nine Yin Manual is an object of our Great Song Wu Lin; when is it your turn, you lackeys of the Great Ming imperial court, to get your hands on it?!"

"With me, Old Beggar, here, you won't succeed!"

Guihai Guihai Yidao, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang, and Cheng Cheng Shifei also unleashed their respective ultimate techniques, cooperating with Duan Tianya to fight Hong Hong Qigong.
