Chapter 142

All along, in the eyes of everyone, the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva was like a mountain.

Now that Gu Qing had lifted the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva and slammed her to the ground, it was truly a case of "strength pulling up the mountains and spirit covering the world." With just this one strike, the hearts of many people in the room became active.

"Good, good, good! Well hit!"

The Great Joy Bodhisattva let out a long cry on the ground and rose nimbly. Her arms were thicker than Gu Qing's thighs. At this moment, she clapped her palms and struck directly at Gu Qing!

Gu Qing's Hunyuan Qi Gong flowed in one breath, penetrating joint by joint. His fist momentum was like a tsunami, layer upon layer, striking hundreds of punches in an instant toward the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva.

The two forces collided, blowing the fat disciples around them until they couldn't stand steadily. The tiles in the inn rattled, and Gu Qing and the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva in the center fought faster and faster. The Great Joy Female Bodhisattva was fat yet nimble, her strength powerful and swift, but in close-quarters combat with Gu Qing, she was ultimately constrained by her size and unable to change moves.

Gu Qing threw ten punches, and the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva could only block two or three; the remaining seven or eight punches landed on her body, making the fat on her body shake left and right, like a living meatball.

Such powerful internal energy and strength were truly an eye-opener for the people around.

"Bang!"

Gu Qing threw both fists, striking heavily on the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva's left and right ribs. At that moment, the fat on her body sank, and then the force rebounded, sending the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva flying out of the restaurant, rolling heavily onto the ground.

"Good!"

A young man with a greasy face couldn't stop cheering.

Gu Qing sized up the young man and asked tentatively, "You Longsheng?"

"No, no!"

You Longsheng hurriedly covered his face, refusing to admit it.

You Longsheng was born in the Hidden Sword Villa and was the young master. The Hidden Dragon Old Man was a life-and-death friend of the masters of the Shaolin, Wudang, and Kunlun sects, and You Longsheng had apprenticed under the former number one swordsman, Xue Yingzi. His name was very famous in the Wu Lin, but falling into the hands of the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva could be considered falling into the dust, losing even the face of his predecessors.

Gu Qing reached out and lifted You Longsheng, throwing him out of the restaurant, allowing You Longsheng to escape the encirclement of the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva's many disciples, and then leaped to the front of the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva.

The fat on the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva's body trembled as she stood up again. She turned her body and actually began to use nimble techniques against Gu Qing.

This was rare for the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva, as she admitted she was no match in terms of strength.

Gu Qing shook his hands. To be honest, his fists had hit the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva many times, as if he had beaten the fat oil out of her, making Gu Qing feel quite uncomfortable... For someone like the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva, if Gu Qing wanted to kill her, he could just use the Ruyi Orchid Hand and the Bone-Melting Cotton Palm, which would be very convenient.

But now that he lacked his two major killing moves and wasn't holding a sword, and Gu Qing didn't hit the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva in the eyes, these many restrictions forced Gu Qing to hammer her with his fists.

Destroying-Firmament Claw, Great Demon-Subduing Fist, Little Star Palm Force...

Gu Qing's moves never repeated, and he even applied some moves from the Lianhua Lianhua Baojian to fight the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva. Thus, the two fought for over three hundred moves, and the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva was still constrained in terms of move agility, shouting repeatedly in anxiety.

"Stop!"

Just as the battle was at its peak, a shout suddenly came from the side.

Gu Qing looked over and saw one of the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva's disciples holding Long Xiaoyun hostage. Seeing this, Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that even pigs have brains.

"Shameless!"

Gu Qing was secretly happy, but he still put on a show. Facing the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva's palm, Gu Qing dodged and darted toward the female disciple and Long Xiaoyun, striking with both hands simultaneously!

"Bang!"

Gu Qing first struck the female disciple's arm heavily, forcing her to let go, while the other palm struck Long Xiaoyun. This palm had continuous force and no intent to harm, and then Gu Qing beckoned with his hand.

Long Xiaoyun, who was in place, flew out of thin air toward Gu Qing!

"Chonglou Flying Blood, Hunyuan One Qi?"

Seeing this move, the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva recognized Gu Qing's martial arts realm and said with extreme surprise.

Reaching this realm, internal energy can be emitted and retracted. Gu Qing struck with one palm and then retracted with another, the palm momentum wrapping around Long Xiaoyun.

Long Xiaoyun floated toward Gu Qing, feeling relieved in his heart... With so many disciples around the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva, it was unwise for Gu Qing to indicate they were partners in public.

Just as Long Xiaoyun was thinking this, he saw Gu Qing's expression change, his footsteps stumbled, and Long Xiaoyun also fell to the ground in mid-air.

Seeing this, the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva took the first step and grabbed Long Xiaoyun in her hand.

"Despicable!"

Gu Qing said angrily, "You actually used poison!"

Although the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva didn't know the truth, she laughed loudly upon hearing this, lifted Long Xiaoyun with one hand, and laughed, "The Five Poison Boy calls me godmother, so using some poison is nothing out of the ordinary."

At this moment, Long Xiaoyun's face turned gray. He really didn't expect that poisoning Gu Qing would result in him lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

At the beginning of Gu Qing's battle with the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva, Long Xiaoyun wanted to slip away, but Gu Qing had called Long Xiaoyun early, which had already drawn the attention of the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva's disciples, preventing Long Xiaoyun from running.

Now that Gu Qing was poisoned, Long Xiaoyun was helpless.

"Can you still run?"

You Longsheng asked immediately. If Gu Qing couldn't run, he couldn't run today either, so You Longsheng would have to defect back.

"I've been poisoned a little and can't fight, but I can still run."

After Gu Qing said this, he looked at the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva and said, "Do you know that the one you are holding is the descendant of the Thousand-Faced Prince Wang Lianhua? In his hands, he holds Wang Lianhua's Lianhua Lianhua Baojian."

Gu Qing said suddenly.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyun looked at Gu Qing with a strange expression. Telling the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva about this meant Long Xiaoyun would definitely not be able to run.

"Xiaoyun, only by saying these things can you save your life."

Gu Qing looked as if he were thinking very much for Long Xiaoyun, saying, "I am poisoned today and must avoid battle first."

Seeing this, Long Xiaoyun knew that Gu Qing was truly considering him.

The Great Joy Female Bodhisattva held Long Xiaoyun and, upon hearing that the Lianhua Lianhua Baojian was on him, kissed Long Xiaoyun heavily, making Long Xiaoyun's eyes go straight.

"Xiaoyun, do you know?"

Gu Qing comforted, "When you were young, you encountered a setback and felt you couldn't go on living. But as you grow up slowly, you will find that eight or nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, and there is no such thing as perfection in the world. You will see the joys and sorrows of the human world, taste the hundred flavors of life, and when you are old, you will be able to laugh about even the greatest setbacks."

"So you must never think of doing something foolish!"

Gu Qing was afraid Long Xiaoyun would commit suicide.

Long Xiaoyun nodded.

"All the faults are mine."

Gu Qing said sorrowfully, "Xiaoyun, you must believe me, I will come back to save you!"

Gu Qing knew he was wrong, but Gu Qing didn't know where he was wrong, so Gu Qing forgave himself.

Long Xiaoyun nodded again. Gu Qing had tried his best; losing the fight was not his fault.

Gu Qing sighed, reached out and grabbed You Longsheng, and the two flew away.

Long Xiaoyun, this unruly teenager, could only be left to the Great Joy Female Bodhisattva for rough education.
