Chapter 197: I'm raising myself!

~8 min read 1,576 words

The boat docked.

Gu Qing lifted Murong Bo's coffin with one hand and jumped from the boat to the shore.

This coffin had been buried in the soil for many years, and after being dug out by Gu Qing and thrown into Taihu Lake, it was already full of water. When Gu Qing put the coffin down, water was flowing out from the gaps all around.

Murong Fu also rushed to the front at this time, looking at the dripping coffin, feeling his heart twitching.

"Gu Qing, what exactly did the Murong family do to offend you, to the point that you humiliate us so much!"

Murong Fu looked at Gu Qing with hatred.

Beside Murong Fu were the Four Great Retainers, A'Zhu, and A'Bi. These people had all received kindness from Murong Bo and his wife. For this scene, they all felt a stinging pain and looked at Gu Qing with even more hatred.

"Cousin..."

Wang Yuyan wanted to explain, but the matter of resurrection from the dead was too bizarre. Wang Yuyan herself didn't believe much in it, and she couldn't explain it to Murong Fu.

Gu Qing looked at Murong Fu, and his gaze fell on A'Zhu and A'Bi. This A'Bi was gentle and moving, and Gu Qing had already seen her. At this moment, looking at A'Zhu, who was wearing a pink dress, with an egg-shaped face and moving skin, after meeting Gu Qing's eyes, she glared at him with hatred.

"In the martial arts world, it has always been that the strong have reason."

A sound suddenly came from the shore. A fat man and a thin man walked over. The thin one sneered and said, "Southern Murong walks in the martial arts world, and what he says is the truth. Only then can he regulate the injustices of the martial arts world, and only then can he make people work for him. To actually make such a wail today, it really makes people laugh!"

This thin man who spoke was very mean.

"Go to hell!"

Bao Butong was too angry and directly cursed, saying, "What kind of thing are you, worthy of talking to us?"

"I am Yan Longyuan."

The thin man bowed and said coldly.

The three words "Yan Longyuan" made Murong Fu, Deng Baichuan, Gongye Qian, and A'Zhu feel a shock in their hearts. This name was like the Yan Kingdom's hidden dragon in the abyss, inexplicably giving them a sense of déjà vu, as if they were very familiar with it.

Murong Bo smiled coldly.

In those years, Murong Bo led the Battle of Yanmen Pass. In that battle, he was scared to death by Xiao Yuanshan's slaughter and, after returning to Suzhou, hid in a cellar for several days, fearing Xiao Yuanshan would kill him. Later, the Abbot of Shaolin wanted to hold him accountable, and Murong Bo had no choice but to choose the path of faking his death.

This matter was handled by Lady Murong, who made the fake death perfect. Murong Bo also changed his name to Yan Longyuan and began to lurk in the Shaolin Temple's Library.

It was just that Murong Bo never expected that years later, someone would disregard martial arts ethics and dig up his grave, digging out his coffin.

Regarding the major matter of faking his death, Murong Bo had to take action.

"Benefactor Gu."

The fat man beside Murong Bo spoke, saying, "I, a monk, have shackles on my body and yearn for fame and profit. I heard that the benefactor has the name of the 'Number One Divine Strength,' so I came specifically to meet you."

After Gu Qing heard the name Yan Longyuan, he knew this guy was Murong Bo, but Gu Qing didn't recognize this fat man carrying a pig's head beside Murong Bo at all. Seeing his standing posture was very peculiar, he took a few more looks.

"Don't meet his 'Number One Divine Strength' first, come and meet me, Feng Bo'e of the 'Jiangnan Gust of Wind' first!"

Feng Bo'e rushed forward directly. He had always liked to fight and argue. This Yan Longyuan and the fat man came together and spoke rudely to the Murong family. Feng Bo'e naturally had to take action. As he flew, he reached out and dug toward the fat man's heart.

"Bang!"

This punch hit the fat man, but the fat man seemed not to feel it. Feng Bo'e then changed his moves one after another, hitting the fat man continuously. This fat man stood in place and remained unmoved, letting the fists fall. Until Feng Bo'e was about to draw his saber, the fat man reached out, his five fingers spread, his palm like a cattail mat, and with one sweep, he swept Feng Bo'e to the side.

"Is this Master Master Zhi Guang of Jinhua?" Wang Yuyan saw the fat man's move and recognized the fat man's teacher.

The fat man buried his head and ate a bite of pig's head meat before saying to Wang Yuyan, "Young lady has good eyes."

Hearing it was Master Master Zhi Guang of Jinhua, Deng Baichuan and Gongye Qian gasped.

"Master Master Zhi Guang is a disciple of Master Huitong."

Wang Yuyan saw Gu Qing didn't seem to recognize him, so she said, "It is said that Master Huitong could speak from birth and had a connection with the Buddha. He entered the Buddhist gate from a young age, and later spoke without taboos, eating a pig's head every day, so he had the nickname 'Pig-Head Monk.' Master Huitong's predictions of good and bad luck were all verified, and his prayers for drought and flood all had miraculous effects, so everyone respected him. Besides these, Master Huitong was also a Grandmaster with strange strength, and dozens of experts working together could hardly make him move..."

"A few years ago, Master Huitong passed away. It is said that Master Su Dongpo also sent an article, and within the Buddhist gate, it is also recognized that Master Huitong is the manifestation of the Dingguang Buddha."

The current Shaolin Abbot Abbot Xuan Ci was only called the "Subduing Tiger Arhat," and this Master Huitong was called the "Dingguang Buddha," which showed his ability.

"In other words, you worshiped a very powerful monk as your teacher."

Gu Qing summarized briefly, saying, "And then you think you are very powerful, so you came to find me to compete?"

Monk Master Zhi Guang nodded and said again, "I lost to Benefactor Yan Longyuan and promised to do one thing for him."

!

Because he lost to Yan Longyuan, Monk Master Zhi Guang said he had shackles on his body. Because he wanted to compete with Gu Qing in strength, Monk Master Zhi Guang said he yearned for fame and profit.

Gu Qing understood now.

"Since the benefactor has the title of 'Number One Divine Strength,' then how about we don't use internal energy in this competition and just look at physical strength?"

Monk Master Zhi Guang stretched his muscles and bones while speaking. He was round all over, but when he moved his muscles and bones, they actually crackled.

"Okay!"

Gu Qing agreed readily and walked toward Monk Master Zhi Guang.

After the Wedding Dress Divine Art was re-practiced, Gu Qing's strength in his extra meridians was connected step by step. This allowed Gu Qing's Dragon-Elephant Dafan Dafan Bore Art, which would have taken years to practice, to be completed in one go, reaching the thirteenth layer realm that might be unprecedented. So Gu Qing called himself the "Number One Divine Strength," and now he wanted to try the specific performance of the thirteenth layer Dragon-Elephant Dafan Dafan Bore Art.

"Swish!"

After Murong Bo saw Gu Qing was going to compete with Monk Master Zhi Guang, his figure flashed, and he arrived in front of the coffin. He raised his hand and slapped the coffin. This coffin, which had been buried in the soil for many years and soaked in water by Gu Qing, shattered into pieces. Almost at the same time, Murong Bo exerted all his strength and pushed everything inside the coffin into Taihu Lake.

This was Murong Bo destroying his own body to eliminate future troubles!

This move could be said to be beyond everyone's expectations, and it was done in one breath, so much so that even Murong Fu didn't react, and the things inside the coffin had already been scattered.

"Beast!"

Murong Fu was furious and drew his sword to thrust at Murong Bo.

Murong Bo leaped and jumped toward Taihu Lake. He was born in Taihu Lake and grew up in Taihu Lake, and his water skills were excellent. Jumping into the water was like returning home. But at this very moment, seeing he was about to jump into the water surface, Murong Bo felt he was being frozen.

Turning his head suddenly, he saw Gu Qing standing by the water, his complexion vaguely transparent, one hand spread out, his hair dancing wildly. This terrifying suction force actually wanted to pull him back from the water surface!

This terrifying power that could be released and retracted almost exceeded the common sense of Jin-style martial arts, making Murong Bo change color.

"Young Master Murong!"

Gu Qing shouted coldly, "Hurry up and kill this beast!"

Murong Fu, Deng Baichuan, Gongye Qian, Bao Butong, and Feng Bo'e, without exception, used their various means and bombarded Murong Bo!
