Chapter 82: Eating from my bowl! Smashing my pot!

Among the protagonists of Jin-style martial arts, Zhang Wuji had the highest configuration. All the internal arts in the world did not exceed the boundaries of the Nine Yang Manual, so after Zhang Wuji's Nine Yang Manual reached great success, all martial arts in the world could be used at will.

The Qian Kun Da Nuo of Heaven and Earth was the culmination of all methods of exerting force in the world. After mastering its essence, all martial arts in the world would hold no mysteries.

Relying on these two configurations, Zhang Wuji could directly copy the opponent's martial arts for his own use. Gu Qing had just forced out Lu Xiaofeng's Lingxi Finger with his sword, truly feeling Lu Xiaofeng's force-exertion technique, and thus learned this move.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't understand what the Qian Kun Da Nuo of Heaven and Earth was, but he had an incredible thought and asked: "Did you learn it just now when you were sparring with me?"

When martial arts reach a certain level, many moves can be mastered upon contact. For example, when Lu Xiaofeng saw Ye Gucheng's "Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens" in the future, he could also apply it. But the Lingxi Finger was different; it involved internal energy application and force-exertion techniques. Without the oral formula, one could not clamp a weapon with just two fingers.

"Of course!"

Gu Qing said: "Otherwise, why would I have warned you?"

Gu Qing drawing his sword just now wasn't to test if Lu Xiaofeng could clamp his sword, but to force Lu Xiaofeng's Lingxi Finger out so he could master the force-exertion technique within it.

And for a martial art like the Lingxi Finger, even if one mastered the force-exertion technique, it required a certain amount of courage to apply it. Gu Qing, however, used the Lingxi Finger to directly face Ximen Chuixue's sword.

This was sword light that even Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to face, yet Gu Qing had caught it.

His guts were even bigger than Lu Xiaofeng's.

Disgusting!

Lu Xiaofeng just felt disgusted!

Having his own unique skill stolen just like that, and then used to catch Ximen Chuixue's sword, gave Lu Xiaofeng a disgusting feeling, like his wife had run off with someone else and was living better for it.

Ximen Chuixue drew his sword with a cold face.

Gu Qing's two fingers were slender, the skin was smooth, the tendons and bones were hidden, and it seemed he hadn't used any force, yet he clamped Ximen Chuixue's sword firmly. No matter how hard Ximen Chuixue tried to pull the sword, he couldn't release it.

Gu Qing's internal energy was powerful, rare in the world, and he had the Qian Kun Da Nuo of Heaven and Earth's force-exertion technique. His Lingxi Finger was much more secure than Lu Xiaofeng's; even Ximen Chuixue couldn't take the sword away.

Huo Tianqing, who was on the side, had originally clenched his fists, wanting to find fault with Gu Qing, but now his fists gradually loosened. Watching Gu Qing and Ximen Chuixue stalemated, he stood up to smooth things over, saying: "Everyone has come from afar, gathering at the Pearl and Jade Pavilion; we are all friends. When friends meet, we should clink glasses, not weapons... Someone, bring out the wine and food first!"

Ma Xingkong, who was beside Huo Tianqing, hurriedly began to flatter him.

This bodyguard had lost half of his internal energy, and in order to live well, he had lost the temperament of a martial artist. He circled around Huo Tianqing and Yan Tieshan, becoming a sycophant.

"Clang."

Gu Qing's finger joints loosened, and Ximen Chuixue finally withdrew his sword.

The two didn't continue to fight. Ximen Chuixue's gaze was cold and silent, examining his sword edge.

"You actually shouldn't have tried to mediate."

Gu Qing had fought Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue; his fighting spirit hadn't faded yet, and his words were sharp, beginning to target Huo Tianqing.

Huo Tianqing was surprised and asked: "Why can't I mediate?"

Huo Tianqing was the son of the Heavenly Bird Elder and had always been protected by the people of the Heavenly Bird Sect. Therefore, he wanted to do something big to prove his ability. Gathering the wealth of the Jin Peng Dynasty was Huo Tianqing's big thing. The banquet in the pavilion right now was also formed under Huo Tianqing's promotion.

Gu Qing, Ximen Chuixue, Lu Xiaofeng, and Hua Manlou were all weapons in Huo Tianqing's eyes.

Naturally, they should join forces to deal with Yan Tieshan right now.

"Because we came here to target the Pearl and Jade Pavilion!"

Gu Qing's words were cold: "Just now we were having an internal conflict; now that we have made peace, we should work together to target the Pearl and Jade Pavilion!"

If you won't let me attack Ximen Chuixue, I'll attack you instead!

Huo Tianqing's face turned cold.

Everything today was orchestrated by Huo Tianqing to bring Yan Tieshan to the pavilion and then surround and kill him, creating a fatal trap. But now, before Yan Tieshan had even arrived, Gu Qing had repeatedly taken action, completely disrupting Huo Tianqing's layout.

Eating from my bowl! Smashing my pot!

And sleeping with my woman!

"You were just asking me how I plan to make money at the Pearl and Jade Pavilion?"

Gu Qing asked coldly.

This was what Huo Tianqing had said earlier to find fault, and now Huo Tianqing admitted it with a cold face.

Gu Qing said as a matter of course: "Whoever has money, I earn from them!"

"Then who has money?"

"The Pearl and Jade Pavilion has money!"

After the two spoke, Gu Qing said coldly: "Of course, I am a hero, not a bandit. If a hero wants to make money, he must be justified. Today I came here to collect debts for the Jin Peng Dynasty!"

After the four words "Jin Peng Dynasty" were spoken, the inside and outside of the pavilion fell into silence.

"I don't know what the Jin Peng Dynasty is."

Huo Tianqing said lightly.

"You don't need to know."

Gu Qing said calmly: "You only need to know that Yan Tieshan treats you with great kindness and trust, and you are his right-hand man. As long as I take you down, I can make Yan Tieshan sit down and talk with us."

Perhaps because Gu Qing's sparring with Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue had alarmed Yan Tieshan, Yan Tieshan never appeared in the pavilion. Now hearing that Gu Qing was going to fight Huo Tianqing, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou both stood by and watched.

Huo Tianqing was originally a very difficult person to deal with.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Huo Tianqing laughed out of extreme anger. He had wanted to deal with Gu Qing just now, but seeing Gu Qing's sword and finger moves, which were too brilliant and had strategic value, he had put aside the "green hat" matter. Now that Gu Qing had provoked him to his face, if Huo Tianqing didn't fight back, the Heavenly Bird Sect would lose all face.

"I will learn your Qian Kun Da Nuo of Heaven and Earth!"

As Huo Tianqing spoke, he flashed forward and struck with his palm, which was exactly the internal "Little Star" palm.

He had long wanted to beat up the adulterer!

Gu Qing erupted suddenly, not using his sword, but using the "Destroying Divine Claw," left three times, right three times, palm strikes and finger spins, coming on continuously. Once he made a move, he showed no mercy. His claw strikes were swift and fierce, faster than the wind, making Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue, who were watching, feel that their horizons had been broadened.

Such moves had truly never existed in the martial arts world.

Huo Tianqing's Heavenly Bird Sect martial arts were immediately forced out. His figure swayed, his palm momentum shuttled, sometimes clawing, sometimes pecking. His martial arts cultivation was already that of a top-tier figure in the world. Lu Xiaofeng felt it was tricky just watching.

In a flash, more than fifty moves had passed.

"Gu Qing's moves are becoming fewer."

Hua Manlou was blind; he could only listen to the sounds. Judging from the sound of the moves, he felt that Gu Qing's moves seemed to be becoming clumsy.

"The Heavenly Bird Sect's internal energy has its unique features."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Gu Qing has fought more than fifty moves in one breath, and the Heavenly Bird Sect's martial arts can exhale and sound out during the moves to exchange breath, so the moves become purer the more they are fought. It's just that..."

Lu Xiaofeng seemed to have a guess.

At this moment, Huo Tianqing struck with a palm, and Gu Qing opened both hands, which was exactly the "Phoenix Spreading Wings" from the Heavenly Bird Sect. After dodging this palm, the Heavenly Bird Sect's moves were displayed one after another in Gu Qing's hands. Each move and each style was even better than Huo Tianqing's application.

By this time, Gu Qing had already learned all the moves of the Heavenly Bird Sect.

Huo Tianqing became increasingly gloomy, his palm momentum continuous.

"Hit!"

Suddenly, Gu Qing struck with a palm in front. Huo Tianqing's eyes contained malice; he discovered a flaw in the follow-up path of this palm and immediately stepped forward to capture him. But just as his hand touched Gu Qing's arm, he felt it was slippery and unpredictable. Instead, his own chest was hit solidly by a palm!

After learning the moves, Gu Qing didn't continue to fight Huo Tianqing.

Huo Tianqing had been shouting to see the Qian Kun Da Nuo of Heaven and Earth, so Gu Qing let him see the Qian Kun Da Nuo of Heaven and Earth's ability to create flaws.

"Pa pa pa!!!"

In an instant, Huo Tianqing felt he had been hit in multiple places on his body, and his acupoints were sealed. After Gu Qing poked him with a finger, his whole body tightened, standing straight. Then Gu Qing reached out, and Huo Tianqing was turned around in his hands, head down and feet up, and the whole person was planted solidly into the lotus pond like an upside-down onion!

"Gurgle..."

Bubbles appeared on the water surface, and the lotus leaves swayed back and forth.

Lu Xiaofeng watched Huo Tianqing being planted, sighing inwardly. Huo Tianqing's reputation had been trampled into the mud by Gu Qing. He didn't know if Huo Tianqing could ever recover...

Ma Xingkong on the side hurriedly went into the water to salvage Huo Tianqing, dug him out of the lotus pond, and sent him to the shore.

Huo Tianqing's face was livid. Being dealt with by Gu Qing was a failure in strategy, a failure in martial arts, and a failure regarding women, which made Huo Tianqing suffer triple humiliation.

"Clang clang..."

Gu Qing threw down a silver ingot, which bounced twice on the ground and landed in front of Huo Tianqing.

"Your martial arts are not bad. Keep this silver for your medical expenses."

Gu Qing sat in the pavilion and said indifferently to Huo Tianqing.

"Pfft!"

Huo Tianqing was so angry he spat out blood.
