Chapter 323: Wuji Vibration Zen

The "Meteors" finally survived.

In terms of Wu Gong, they were naturally not Gao Anyu's opponents. They were all second or third-rate level, and they didn't practice any brilliant inheritance, so their weapons were smashed as soon as they fought. After twenty-something moves, they were each knocked on the shoulder by Gao Anyu, lying on the ground and wailing constantly.

By this time, they also understood—it was impossible to avenge "Cane" by force, and even their own lives were in the other party's hands. If they didn't think of a way, I'm afraid none of the five would survive.

They were all big thieves who had been mixing on the green forest path for nearly twenty years, so they naturally didn't lack the quick wit between life and death. One of them remembered what Gao Anyu said just now and hurriedly spoke.

"I know, I recognize you!"

"You, what you are called, we don't know, but we recognize your weapon!"

For those who are human traffickers, the ability to lie is naturally brilliant. As soon as he opened his mouth, the other few immediately understood his meaning, and they compiled a very full and ups-and-downs life experience for Gao Anyu on the spot, mixing truth with deception.

The love and hatred, the deceit, and the ups and downs could be said to be more exciting than eight out of ten stories in the Jianghu.

Gao Anyu believed it on the spot, and didn't bother to care about these five big thieves, turning around and running in the direction of his parents' grave in the story.

By the time he found it didn't match and turned back to find these five people, they were already gone. He didn't have the heart to find these five people again, and later he didn't hear of them appearing in the Jianghu, so the matter was put down like this.

He had almost forgotten about this, and if it weren't for the fact that these five faces were ugly in their own unique ways, he really might not have remembered who these five were.

But the fact that these five people dared to take the initiative to send themselves to his door made him puzzled.

"What kind of disease are you guys having?"

Gao Anyu slashed at the blade of the person in front, who gave a muffled groan, and his feet retreated more than ten steps without being able to unload the force, his whole body sticking to the wall, his face turning pale.

"And I didn't see any improvement in your Wu Gong? Are you really tired of living?"

Gao Anyu's black ruler turned, suddenly stabbing behind him, with a *hum*, the weapon of the person sneaking up behind him shattered, and fragments fell all over the floor. He also gave a painful cry, covering his hand and retreating, blood constantly surging from between his fingers.

Seeing this now, Cao Hanyan felt a bit strange.

Li Miao had just stopped him from helping, which should have been because he saw that the Wu Gong of these five people posed no threat to Gao Anyu at all. But thinking about it in reverse, don't these five people know this?

Gao Anyu didn't recognize them at first, but they took the initiative to send themselves to the door, what for?

He turned his head to look at Li Miao, but saw Li Miao sipping tea with a smile, waving his hand, as if he knew his doubts, and said slowly.

"Just look down a bit more and you'll know."

Cao Hanyan turned his head to look in the direction of the battle.

Those five people were injured by Gao Anyu in an instant, and one weapon was shattered, their combat power gone by three or four parts, and they also knew that if they didn't break the situation, they would die at Gao Anyu's hands within ten moves.

At this instant, the "Meteor" whose weapon was shattered suddenly shouted.

"Change weapons! Get him!"

*Clang*—

As soon as this was said, the other four looked at each other and actually released their hands in unison, throwing the weapons in their hands to the ground.

And then reached into their bosoms—and pulled out five whips!

I saw these five whips, all half a yard long, two fingers thick, and not ordinary leather, but shining with a bright metallic luster. The whip body was like fish scales, layered until the end of the whip, and it made a shrill wind-breaking sound when swung in the air.

Cao Hanyan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

"This weapon, Brother Gao, be careful!"

After getting along for a few days, Gao Anyu was an honest person, so Cao Hanyan had learned a lot about that black ruler.

That black ruler had two special features: one was that the material was extremely hard, so hard that even a Heaven-Man battle could barely leave a mark on it. The second, and key point, was that when it collided with other things, the vibration produced would be more intense and thorough.

If it were in someone else's hands, they would probably only feel that it hurt their hands when fighting. But combined with Gao Anyu's unique internal energy, mental method, and ear skills, he could convert the vibration transmitted from his hand into unique information—thereby knowing the most fragile point of the opponent's weapon.

Gao Anyu could break people's weapons, relying on this point.

The harder the opponent's weapon, the more obvious the vibration during the weapon collision, and the more advantageous it was for Gao Anyu. Conversely, the softer the weapon, the less effect the black ruler would have.

The whips these five people took out were not only soft weapons, but the fish-scale metal pieces on them would also limit the vibration to a very small area, making Gao Anyu unable to know the weakness of the whip.

These five people came prepared!

Gao Anyu frowned, flashed in front of one of them, and the black ruler slashed down!

Although the other party changed weapons, the gap in realm and inheritance remained, and Gao Anyu still had a 99% chance of winning!

Soft weapons are strange and unpredictable, but they cannot block. Gao Anyu had already developed murderous intent, and this ruler was about to shatter the person's head!

At this instant, a sneer of calculation success appeared on the other party's face, and he roared.

"'Ink Dragon Breaks the Mountain', right!"

"Break for me!"

Following this roar, he swung his arm abruptly, and the whip hanging toward the ground raised its head like a poisonous snake, bypassing Gao Anyu's legs and black ruler, and suddenly stabbed toward his armpit!

Cao Hanyan stood up abruptly: "Breaking moves again!"

"These people not only have weapons that restrain Brother Gao's Wu Gong, but also know how to break Brother Gao's moves, and even know the names of Brother Gao's moves!"

"They know more than that Kongming Sect elder!"

Gao Anyu frowned, retreated to dodge the long whip, and the black ruler fell past the other party's shoulder. This move was actually broken!

The black ruler fell to mid-air and suddenly slashed horizontally!

"Thousand Peaks Cross-Cut"!

As if it were a replica of the battle with the Kongming Sect elder, Gao Anyu made the exact same choice, attempting to abolish the other party's arm in the same way!

The "Meteor" fighting him actually didn't dodge, raising his whip and whipping toward Gao Anyu's face!

At the same time, he roared.

"Come!"

It looked like a choice of exchanging injuries for life, but with the gap in the two's Wu Gong, before his long whip reached Gao Anyu's face, he would be folded in half by a ruler—if Gao Anyu's opponent was only him.

The roar echoed in the room, and four whips suddenly inserted from the side, three of them wrapping around the black ruler, and one winding along the ground, forming a circle on the ground.

The three who wrapped around the black ruler pulled with force, actually pulling the force of Gao Anyu's move apart! Breaking this move of Gao Anyu!

Gao Anyu retreated a step, dodging the whip tail drilling toward his armpit, a trace of anger appearing on his face. Just as he was about to make a move again, his feet were suddenly pulled, and his posture became chaotic.

That step of his happened to step into the circle formed by the whip coiled on the ground!

Cao Hanyan said in astonishment.

"Not just moves, but footwork!"

"Even Brother Gao's footwork has a way to be broken! These people's understanding of Brother Gao's Wu Gong is far more than that Kongming Sect elder!"

He turned his head abruptly, lowering his voice.

"My lord, did you see it long ago?"

"These few people look dusty, having been on the road not long ago, but they happened to run into Brother Gao. Looking at their Wu Gong, they are all ordinary, clearly from the background of Jianghu scattered people, but they seem to know Brother Gao's Wu Gong like the back of their hand."

"They might know Brother Gao's origin, at least, there is an expert who understands Brother Gao's inheritance extremely well, who taught these things to them!"

Li Miao nodded.

Cao Hanyan reached out and gripped the hilt of his blade.

"My lord, I'll go help Brother Gao."

"These people came prepared, and since they took the initiative to strike, they must have some certainty—if I don't help, I'm afraid Brother Gao will suffer!"

"But they definitely didn't expect us to be here, so I'll go with Brother Gao to capture these people and interrogate them! Maybe this trip to the Kongming Sect can be saved!"

After saying this, he was about to draw his blade and stand up. Just as his butt lifted from the stool, a finger pressed on his shoulder. Cao Hanyan felt his true energy stagnate, his body went limp, and he sat back in his seat.

"What's the rush?"

Li Miao withdrew his hand, tucked his hands into his sleeves, leaned back against the chair, and looked at Gao Anyu, who had been pulled apart and fallen into peril, with a smile.

"Today was meant to be a lesson for you two. I finished teaching you, but I haven't had time to teach Little Gao—and someone delivered themselves to the door as a teaching aid, isn't that just right?"

After saying this, he raised his head and said loudly.

"Little Gao."

Gao Anyu, who had inserted the black ruler into the inside of the whip at his feet to pick open the circle that trapped his legs, and had done a somersault in mid-air to dodge the whips whipping from all sides, heard Li Miao's greeting as soon as he landed.

And he was already unable to take care of himself, but he actually didn't care about the influence on his breathing, and answered.

"Yes Uncle! What's the matter!"

"Will you listen to me?"

Li Miao said lazily.

"Yes!"

Gao Anyu didn't have a shred of hesitation.

"Good, then whatever I say next, you do, is that clear?"

Li Miao said.

Cao Hanyan frowned, thinking Gao Anyu might not do it. He knew Li Miao's identity and understood that in this world, there was no one more authoritative than Li Miao in terms of Wu Gong.

But up to now, Gao Anyu didn't know Li Miao's identity at all, only thinking he was an uncle who didn't know Wu Gong. With just a word, how could Gao Anyu entrust his life to a person who didn't know Wu Gong?

He was about to explain: "Brother Gao—"

"Good!"

Before he could even say two words, he heard Gao Anyu's happy agreement, which stifled Cao Hanyan's words!

He actually agreed!

"Good."

Li Miao said with a smile.

"First thing, throw away your black ruler."

As soon as this was said, even Zheng Yi on the side frowned.

They were facing a strong enemy, and the other party knew Gao Anyu's Wu Gong incomparably well, and he had almost been injured just now. Now that he had even thrown away his weapon, wasn't that self-mutilation?

And Gao Anyu actually flicked his hand and threw the black ruler to the ground, without a shred of hesitation.

"And then, Uncle?"

Li Miao said unhurriedly.

"Your Wu Gong inheritance appears to be a method specifically for destroying weapons, and with this black ruler, it's hard to find an opponent below the peak—but if you keep using this black ruler to fight, you will never step into the Heaven-Man realm in your life."

"This thing is not something for you to use until you die. Rather than saying it's a weapon, it's better to say it's a teaching aid, so that the successor who hasn't yet cultivated the Wu Gong can also experience the key to this Wu Gong."

Gao Anyu dodged the siege of the five people, flashed out of the encirclement, as if he didn't see the black ruler being picked up by the enemy, listening to Li Miao's words with full attention.

"According to my view, when your Wu Gong reaches the peak, you should try to throw away this ruler and fight with others."

"But this process is not impossible to be a little earlier."

Li Miao said loudly.

"Wu Gong is a killing skill; if it can only strike at weapons, what kind of Heaven-Man inheritance is it?"

"Second thing, operate the internal energy and ear skills of this inheritance with all your might, listen carefully, now I will teach you a Wu Gong that is connected to your inheritance, you must learn it during the battle—I won't let Little Cao help you, if you can't learn it, you will really die."

Gao Anyu was not angry at all, an excited smile appeared on his face, and he shouted.

"Uncle Li, what are you going to teach me?"

"Wuji Vibration Zen."

Li Miao said lightly.

"Listen carefully, this is the formula—"

"Wuji starts the trend, Qi sinks to the Yongquan; knees fall a thousand pounds, spine stands like a whip."

"Inhale and rise to the Baihui, exhale and penetrate the fingertips; feet nailed three points, palms contain dark cotton."

"Sound follows Qi and spits, thunder hides in the Dantian; vibration ends and returns to stillness, Zen and Wu share the same source..."

He spoke eloquently, not avoiding the five "Meteors," and recited the two-hundred-character formula. And Gao Anyu listened intently, remembering the formula one by one.

After Li Miao finished speaking, he picked up his teacup and sipped it, then stopped talking.

Gao Anyu frowned and pondered carefully, and the five "Meteors" opposite also looked at each other, communicating in low voices.

"Second Brother, what is this person's path? This formula... it looks real! Penetrating Baihui, Yongquan, true energy running through the twelve regular meridians, it sounds like a proper, brilliant Wu Gong that points directly to the peak realm!"

"Don't know, remember it first!"

One of them looked at Li Miao and sneered.

"Look at his hands and feet being weak, his muscles loose, he doesn't look like someone who knows Wu Gong. After killing this kid later, we will capture him, maybe we can get a few more good techniques!"

"That's right! Kill this kid first, so as not to have long nights and many dreams!"

"Kill!"

With a roar, the five people lunged together, one in the lead, four supporting, five long whips locking all the space for Gao Anyu to move, prepared in advance to break all his moves, wanting to succeed in one strike!

And Gao Anyu actually stood on the spot with his head down, not dodging, even closing his eyes, as if he had given up struggling.

The person in the lead showed a ferocious smile, rushed in front of Gao Anyu, and whipped down! The metal pieces on the whip suddenly stood up, wanting to tear the flesh on Gao Anyu's face!

At this instant!

Gao Anyu slowly raised his fist and hit his chest straight.

"At the end of your rope!"

He sneered, Gao Anyu's punch was soft, looking like it had no threat. But he still defended, supporting the whip with both hands, wanting to block this punch.

Between life and death, the flow of time seemed to slow down.

That fist slowly delivered to his face and hit the whip.

*Squeak*! —

Extremely harsh, like the sound of metal scraping porcelain, rang out. An extremely strange vibration was transmitted to his palm along the long whip.

The metal wrapping the whip deformed, twisted, and wrinkled extremely slowly—and then exploded!

"Wha! —"

In his horrified gaze, Gao Anyu's fist broke the long whip that even the black ruler couldn't break, and slowly printed on his chest.

That strange vibration spread from his chest to his whole body in an instant.

No movement, no sound, he didn't retreat half a step, nor did he feel pain.

Just a *hum*—sound, along his meridians and bones, climbed to his brain marrow. Then something warm ran out from his seven orifices, scrambling to be first.

At the last moment before his vision turned pitch black, he saw Gao Anyu open his eyes, turn his head excitedly, and shout at the man who didn't know Wu Gong.

"Uncle Li, I understand!"
