Chapter 1240: Gui Erniang has unspeakable suffering

PS: My illness has had a bit of a relapse, and I've started feeling dizzy again.

Originally, Gui Xinshu and his wife would not have reached Jin Ling City so quickly.

Last night, seeing that it was getting late,

the two were in no hurry to travel, so they chose to camp in the outskirts of Jin Ling City.

Gu Hanyuan had traveled to several locations last night,

and one of them was precisely where Gui Xinshu and his wife were camping.

When Gu Hanyuan arrived, the two were engaged in their daily sparring.

Gui Xinshu and his wife were keen on fighting and competing.

In their daily lives, they often sparred to improve each other.

It was precisely because of this

that although their aptitude was not considered high, they had become the strongest members of the Huashan Sword Sect on the surface, besides Mu Renqing.

As for Feng Qingyang, who had lived in seclusion on the Huashan Siguo Cliff for many years, he was not included.

After all, except for a very few people, the vast majority of Huashan Sword Sect disciples did not know that such a reclusive senior existed.

After a bout of sparring using "Jade-Breaking Fists," both were drenched in sweat.

Gui Xinshu was a rough man and didn't care about this at all.

Gui Erniang, although straightforward in character and not inferior to any man,

still retained the nature of a woman, so she prepared to bathe before resting.

Jin Ling City was covered in roads, and there were countless scattered pools in the outskirts.

Gui Erniang was not afraid of the cold night air, so she bathed in a pool near their campsite.

Gu Hanyuan, seeing this, thought for a moment and had an idea.

Gui Erniang was not a beautiful woman full of charm.

Although she was older, years of martial arts practice had given her a good figure, with even abdominal muscles faintly visible.

That toned body was blindingly white under the moonlight.

Her unique heroic spirit also possessed an alternative charm.

After Gu Hanyuan had appreciated it with interest, he deliberately made noise behind the tree where he was hiding.

Gui Erniang, shocked, threw a pebble toward the direction of Gu Hanyuan.

By the time she was fully dressed and furiously looking for the person,

there was no one behind the tree.

Gui Erniang picked up the pebble she had thrown,

and saw a peculiar sword mark on it,

vaguely shaped like a snake's tongue.

Gui Erniang did not react at the time.

It was not until she saw the same sword mark on the snapped long sword in Mei Jianhe's hand

that she suddenly realized these were the marks left by the Jin Shejian,

leading to the scene where she scolded Yuan Chengzhi.

Gu Hanyuan watched the conflict between Gui Erniang and Yuan Chengzhi,

the smile at the corner of his mouth becoming increasingly playful.

Imitating a Jin Shejian mark was naturally effortless for him.

By pinning such a big pot on Yuan Chengzhi,

it would not be so easy for the two sides to reconcile.

Gui Xinshu had originally been indignant that Yuan Chengzhi had bullied his two disciples,

but Gui Erniang's angry scolding of Yuan Chengzhi had left him bewildered,

and for a time, he was stunned on the spot.

After all, Gui Erniang could not tell him the real reason.

Yuan Chengzhi, seeing Gui Erniang leaping over vigorously,

with her "Jade-Breaking Fist" almost hitting his face, was shocked and hurriedly dodged.

He shouted urgently:

"Senior Sister! Is there some misunderstanding?"

He did indeed have the suspicion of bullying Sun Zhongjun and Mei Jianhe, who had not received the true teachings of the Huashan Sword Sect.

After all, the two hadn't even learned the "Hunyuan Skill,"

and their status in the Huashan Sword Sect was far below Yuan Chengzhi's.

But the "evil deeds" Gui Erniang spoke of left him confused.

He didn't remember doing any "evil deeds" that would make Gui Erniang's hatred toward him surge like a tide.

Gui Erniang's face turned even redder upon hearing this,

and she shouted angrily:

"Little thief, you know what you did; today I will absolutely not let you go!"

As she spoke, her attacks became increasingly vicious, each move aiming for Yuan Chengzhi's vital points.

Yuan Chengzhi wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

Seeing that he would be injured by Gui Erniang if he didn't fight back,

he had no choice but to retaliate.

Both had received the true teachings of the Huashan Sword Sect and parried each other's moves.

Yuan Chengzhi's internal energy and proficiency in moves were not as good as Gui Erniang's,

and he frequently fell into a disadvantage.

If it weren't for his mastery of the Iron Sword Sect's "Godly Movement" and the various bizarre moves in the "Golden Snake Secret Manual," he would likely have been defeated long ago.

Yuan Chengzhi persisted for a few more moves.

Seeing that this was not a solution, he straightened his face, drew the Jin Shejian, and used the bizarre "Jin Shejian Technique."

Yuan Chengzhi's "Jin Shejian Technique" was naturally not as unpredictable and bizarre as Xia Xueyi's,

but it still caught Gui Erniang off guard.

Especially the sharpness of the Jin Shejian, which Gui Erniang dared not block directly.

For a time, they were deadlocked.

Gui Xinshu, seeing this, shouted sternly:

"How dare you use another sect's martial arts and weapons against your fellow sect members! Do you still have the Huashan Sword Sect in your eyes?"

Saying this, he also threw a punch.

Yuan Chengzhi hurriedly used "Golden Snake Wandering Body" to dodge.

Facing the siege of the two, he showed a bitter expression and was unable to speak.

Yuan Chengzhi's martial arts had not yet been fully integrated and were far from reaching their peak; how could he be a match for the combined efforts of Gui Xinshu and his wife?

Soon, he was struck by Gui Xinshu's palm, causing him to drop the Jin Shejian.

Gui Erniang also seized Yuan Chengzhi's vital point on his shoulder. ===== CHAPTER 1242 =====
