Chapter 35: Kumārajīva

"An expert!"

Looking at the suddenly appearing Lin Fan, Kumārajīva's smiling expression paused and became serious.

"Big monk, the Tibetan National Teacher doesn't stay in Tibet to preach, why run to the Northern Song?"

Huang Rong and the others also walked out of the cabin. For a moment, the peerless beauties appearing on the small pleasure boat made the picturesque Taihu lose its color.

"Fairy Sister!"

The white-faced scholar looked at Wang Wang Yuyan who walked out, his expression excited.

The women heard this and looked at Wang Wang Yuyan with strange eyes.

"Don't look at me, I don't know him!"

Wang Wang Yuyan waved her hands repeatedly. This was her first time leaving Mantuo Villa, of course, not counting Swallow Dock, where she had been many times. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====

Lin Fan had a headache. The timeline of the comprehensive martial arts world was unreliable. Kumārajīva catching Dali Duan Yu and bringing him to Swallow Dock meant he had already learned the 'North-Ming Divine Art', 'Hong Lingbo Micro-steps', and 'Six Meridian Divine Sword'.

"Shut up! Benefactors, this humble monk once sat and discussed the Dao with the old Mr. South Murong Bo of Swallow Dock. He once said that the 'Six Meridian Divine Sword' of the Dali Dali Duan family was the number one sword technique in the world, but unfortunately, he never got to see it. He once promised me that if I could find the 'Six Meridian Divine Sword' for him to borrow and read, he would let me enter the 'Huan Shi Water Pavilion' of the South Murong family to take a look. Now, I haven't found the sword manual, but this Young Master Dali Duan has already learned the 'Six Meridian Divine Sword'. I will burn him in front of old Mr. South Murong's grave, which can be considered fulfilling the promise of that year!"

Kumārajīva first grabbed Dali Duan Yu firmly, not letting him move or shout, and then stated his purpose for coming to Taihu Swallow Dock.

"May I ask if this young master is South Murong of the South, South Murong Fu? I have come as promised, prepared to burn this living sword manual for old Mr. South Murong. I hope you can fulfill your father's promise and let this humble monk enter the 'Huan Shi Water Pavilion' once, which can be considered fulfilling a wish of this humble monk!"

Lin Fan's face was handsome, his demeanor was elegant, and he was traveling on Taihu with beauties. His Wu Gong was unfathomable, which caused Kumārajīva to misunderstand.

Because he remembered the rumors of 'Huang Qiao Feng of the North, South Murong of the South' in the Wu Lin, looking at the peerless young master in front of him, he secretly thought that South Murong of the South was indeed well-deserved.

"My young master is not some South Murong of the South. Big monk, your eyes are so big, yet you are blind!"

Lv He couldn't help but scold Kumārajīva. In her view, her young master's appearance and Wu Gong were the best in the world. Huang Qiao Feng of the North and South Murong of the South were not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as her young master. This big monk actually mistook her young master for South Murong Fu, which was simply unforgivable.

"You! You are not South Murong Fu. May I ask who you are?"

Kumārajīva was scolded by a woman dressed as a maid and couldn't help but be furious, just wanting to lose his temper.

But he suddenly felt a fatal threat from Lin Fan, so he could only suppress his anger and ask Lin Fan.

"My young master is Lin Fan. Remember this; in the future, this name will resound throughout the entire Wu Lin!"

Lv He's proud expression amused Lin Fan and Huang Rong and the others.

"Just as my Lv He said, my name is Lin Fan. You coming to Swallow Dock to fulfill your wish is fake; wanting to enter the 'Huan Shi Water Pavilion' to learn martial arts is true, right? Kumārajīva, I know you are obsessed with martial arts. However, your 'Flame Blade' is also a unique skill. If you practice it diligently, you will surely achieve something. Why look far away?" Lin Fan advised.

"Oh? You actually know about my 'Flame Blade'. However, I came to the Central Plains just to broaden my horizons by seeing the martial arts of the Central Plains Wu Lin. Since you are not South Murong Fu, please forgive my rudeness. Goodbye!"

Kumārajīva's mind was firm; he couldn't be moved by Lin Fan's few words.

Seeing that Lin Fan was not South Murong Fu and his Wu Gong was unfathomable, he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he said goodbye and left.

"Fairy Sister, Fairy Sister!"

Dali Duan Yu was being carried by Kumārajīva and was about to leave. He couldn't bear to leave, so he kept shouting 'Fairy Sister', which made Wang Wang Yuyan feel embarrassed, and she couldn't help but hide behind Lin Fan.

"You can go, but leave Dali Duan Yu behind. He took the martial arts of the Li Xiaoyao Sect and must return them to Wang Yuyan!" Lin Fan said indifferently.

Dali Duan Yu had the 'North-Ming Divine Art' and 'Hong Lingbo Micro-steps' on him, and there were even meridian diagrams on them. Although the person on them wasn't Wang Wang Yuyan, Lin Fan had to take them back. Even if they looked alike, he couldn't let Dali Duan Yu profane the Fairy Sister.

"Young Master Dali Duan, I see you look like a weak scholar, and you talk about big principles with me every day, like a gentleman. I didn't expect you to keep calling a young lady 'Fairy Sister' every time you see her. Talking lecherously is one thing, but you actually stole the martial arts of the Li Xiaoyao Sect?"

Kumārajīva seemed to be meeting Dali Duan Yu for the first time and couldn't help but look at him carefully again.

"How do you know the martial arts of the Li Xiaoyao Sect are on me? I got this by accident, but there is a meridian diagram of the Fairy Sister on it, so I can't give it to you!"

Lin Fan didn't expect Dali Duan Yu, this kid, to dare to refuse him. But thinking about it, he was thinking about the 'Fairy Sister' all day long, almost to the point of qi deviation, so naturally, he wouldn't hand over the diagrams.

"That's not up to you. Hand it over!"

Such a precious thing, Lin Fan believed he must be carrying it with him. Lin Fan performed 'Stepping on Snow without Traces' and flew onto Kumārajīva's boat, reaching out to grab Dali Duan Yu.

"Young Master Dali Duan is still useful to me; I can't give him to you!" Kumārajīva reached out to block Lin Fan.

"Big monk, you don't know what's good for you. Today I will see your 'Flame Blade'!"

Lin Fan channeled the 'One Yang Finger' and pointed at Kumārajīva. Kumārajīva responded with the 'Duoluo Leaf Finger'.

Lin Fan immediately drew his jade flute and used the 'Jade Flute Sword Art', a move 'Gold Sound Jade Vibration', pointing at the acupoints on Kumārajīva's hand.

Kumārajīva's expression changed, and he used the 'Flower-Plucking Finger' to counter Lin Fan's jade flute.

"Good Kumārajīva, you practice the Shaolin Seventy-Two Ultimate Arts quite well!"

Lin Fan couldn't help but praise Kumārajīva.

"Benefactor, look at this 'Flower-Plucking Smile' of this humble monk!" Kumārajīva took the initiative to attack.

"This young master only likes to see a beauty smile; I can't appreciate a monk's smile!"

Lin Fan said, using a move 'Oar Song in the Midstream', attacking Kumārajīva's chest acupoints.

But then Lin Fan's expression changed. It turned out that Kumārajīva using the 'Flower-Plucking Finger' was just a feint. He took the opportunity to get close to Lin Fan and started competing with Lin Fan in internal energy.

"Big monk, you have a hundred tricks!" Lin Fan couldn't help but tease Kumārajīva.

"All is fair in war. Although your Wu Gong is high, you lack experience in fighting. You can't blame this humble monk for that!" Kumārajīva wasn't angry; instead, he was somewhat proud.

"Does the big monk think he will win for sure by competing in internal energy?" Lin Fan smiled and fully operated the 'Dragon Divine Art'.

Kumārajīva's expression changed drastically. His 'Little Formless Art' was completely no match.

"Where did you learn the 'Little Formless Art'? From the Western Wu Xia Dowager?"

Lin Fan felt that Kumārajīva's internal energy was formless and traceless, guessing that what he learned should be the 'Little Formless Art'.

However, at this time, Kumārajīva had no heart to speak. Lin Fan's internal energy was extremely yang and rigid, domineering and unparalleled. Competing with Lin Fan's internal energy caused his meridians to be damaged, his physical strength and true qi to run wild, and he was extremely uncomfortable, almost vomiting blood.

He felt that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise, he would soon die because all his meridians would be shattered by Lin Fan's internal energy. ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
