As she flew toward him, Gu Qing used Quanzhen palm technique to lightly brush her leg, slowing her momentum, then passed her to Xiaolongnu, who tapped lightly with her fingertips, a white silk thread emerging to coil around Guo Fu several times, lowering her gently to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re awfully clever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama sneered at Gu Qing’s cautious rescue of Guo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing stood firm, extending four fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama had no idea what it meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fourth defeat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said to the Golden Wheel Lama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What fourth defeat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama didn’t even know where he had lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First defeat at the Hero Gathering, second defeat when kidnapping Guo Fu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing reminded him, then added: “You failed to pursue me—you couldn’t catch me in the dense forest—and you failed again to kidnap Guo Fu, because you ran into me in Xiangyang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing recited the Golden Wheel Lama’s record with ease and amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama had ruined Gu Qing’s plans—Gu Qing would humiliate him mercilessly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each line he spoke made the Golden Wheel Lama grow increasingly agitated; Gu Qing’s tally was grossly biased, and if it spread, it would strip the Golden Wheel Lama of all dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the Golden Wheel Lama flicked his wrist, dual silver and bronze wheels in hand, his long arm extending sharply, slashing horizontally toward Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In normal circumstances, Gu Qing would have avoided such an assault, but now his temper flared; he spread his hands, already wearing Xiaolongnu’s golden silk gloves, and met the Golden Wheel Lama’s force head-on with a mighty Great Subduing Demon Fist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fist met wheel—there was a dull crash in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama twisted his silver wheel to slice diagonally, aiming to sever Gu Qing’s arm, but the blade teeth scraped against the golden silk gloves and slid harmlessly off; Gu Qing’s fist remained steady, solid as a mountain, crashing forward with full force, forcing the Golden Wheel Lama to raise his bronze wheel in defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time the sound rang clear and loud, reminding the Golden Wheel Lama—he was in Xiangyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dang dang dang dang!!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing unleashed his full strength, every strike landing true; the Great Subduing Demon Fist was immensely powerful, and the more internal energy he poured into it, the more its subtleties emerged. The clashing of fist and wheel echoed like temple bells, carrying far into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excess cannot last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of internal energy, the Golden Wheel Lama was superior—Gu Qing could not sustain this and would inevitably lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Qing’s clash with the Golden Wheel Lama was never meant to win—it was meant to draw more people, so others could deal with the Golden Wheel Lama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaolongnu watched the fierce battle between Gu Qing and the Golden Wheel Lama, her eyes filled with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Guo handed Xiaolongnu two swords, speaking in a calm tone: “With your dual swords in unison, you can surely drive off this foreign monk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaolongnu swept her long sleeves lightly, and both swords landed in her hands; in an instant, she leapt upward, waist swaying, both hands thrusting rapidly, forming twin sword veils that surged toward the Golden Wheel Lama!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Golden Wheel Lama fought Gu Qing, he suddenly saw a blinding white flash before him—his heart lurched; he hastily raised his silver wheel to defend, but in the split second he withdrew from Gu Qing, Xiaolongnu pierced him with forty rapid thrusts, white light swirling in intricate patterns, each strike exquisitely precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama guarded tightly, but after this exchange, sweat beaded faintly on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought Gu Qing was already formidable—yet this beautiful girl was even more aggressive; her lightning-fast strikes sent shivers through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing, Fu-mei is poisoned!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After handing over the swords, Yang Guo stayed beside Guo Fu, observing her unconscious state; after checking her condition, he discovered she had been poisoned—her lips now faintly blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing glanced at Guo Fu, then at the Golden Wheel Lama, and said: “Hu Du’s poison.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Du had previously stabbed Gu Qing with poisoned darts, but Gu Qing had dodged them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama smiled calmly; truthfully, since Gu Qing had appeared, he had hoped to replicate Gu Qing’s earlier ambush—but Gu Qing was too cautious, leaving him no opening; yet the deadly poison had already seeped into Guo Fu’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we now exchange the antidote?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had infiltrated Xiangyang alone to obtain the Jade Bee Needle antidote—to save Hu Du and Kublai Khan, and claim an unprecedented feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can the Reverse Nine Yin and Toad Skill overcome it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing asked Yang Guo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Guo, meanwhile, pressed acupoints on Guo Fu, sensing the poison’s spread, and replied: “I’m not sure if it will work, but we can try.” He turned Guo Fu upside down and applied the detoxification method taught to him by Ouyang Feng in childhood, manipulating her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Fu’s blood reversed as she hung upside down, her fingertips turning faintly purple; as Yang Guo inserted a needle, dark poison blood flowed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still want to exchange the antidote?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing turned to face the Golden Wheel Lama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama sighed deeply; by now, Guo Jing and Zhu Ziliu had heard the commotion and arrived, taking in the scene; Guo Jing unleashed the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, striking the Golden Wheel Lama with full force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama shook his body, summoning five wheels—his gold and iron wheels had been taken by Gu Qing, but as Mongolia’s state preceptor, he had already replenished them; the five wheels spun, momentarily blocking Guo Jing and Xiaolongnu, then he abandoned them entirely, leaping away without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he turned back, he saw Gu Qing standing on the eaves, not chasing—only holding up one palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama instantly understood its meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifth defeat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1168,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0c90e33af217097bf406c6cc9a6357441989f2c106d968f09da3b6146920294b","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-50","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-48",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
