Chapter 322: We Five Kingdoms Rise Together and Divide the Great Song

~8 min read 1,520 words

After hearing Su Hang's words, Duan Yu was suddenly startled!

If it were only Duan Duan Yanqing alone, with the strength of his father and son, they might not necessarily fall behind.

After all, although Duan Zhengchun could not defeat Duan Duan Yanqing, their respective levels of Yi Yang Zhi Gong were incomparable.

But if one added Duan Yu's Six Meridian Swords, which worked sometimes and failed others, then the final result was impossible to predict.

After all,

the Pin Jie and power of the Six Meridian Swords were far superior to those of Yi Yang Zhi.

Within the Duan family of Dali, according to ancestral rules, only those whose Yi Yang Zhi Gong had broken through the fourth Pin Jie or higher were qualified to cultivate the Six Meridian Swords.

Moreover, the Six Meridian Swords were divided into six meridians; each Yi Lu Jian Fa was different, and the difficulty of cultivation increased gradually.

Precisely because of this, at the beginning, the Six Meridian Swords were kept in Tianlong Temple by the assembly of Gao Seng there.

On careful thought, only the abbot of Tianlong Temple and the assembly of Gao Seng were qualified to cultivate them.

And Duan Yu remembered that every single Gao Seng cultivated only one Yi Lu Jian Fa.

And only he, by a stroke of fate, had managed to cultivate all of the Six Meridian Swords in one go.

One could say this was fate, and also luck!

Precisely because of this, Duan Yu, who had mastered all six Meridian Swords, was like a time bomb; no one knew when he would explode.

If Duan Zhengchun's Yi Yang Zhi was combined with Duan Yu's occasionally effective Six Meridian Swords, then Duan Duan Yanqing would in no way be a match.

However,

if one added Gusu Gusu Murong Bo and Gusu Gusu Murong Fu, and even finally added Dharmakirti, then the situation would be completely different.

Everyone knew that Gusu Gusu Murong Bo was the seventeenth-generation head of the Gusu Gusu Murong clan,

and compared to Gusu Gusu Murong Fu, this man was a rare martial arts genius.

When he was still a youth, he could use the Great Forest Jin Gang Zhi of Shaolin Temple to pierce the old Gao Seng Huang Mei, nearly taking the old Monk's life on the spot; thus, his Wu Dao Jing Jie was so high it was simply beyond imagination!

Moreover, how many years had passed since then? Gusu Gusu Murong Bo's martial arts had improved by an unknown amount compared to decades ago!

If he joined forces with Duan Duan Yanqing to target Duan Yu and his father, even if Duan Yu and his father had three heads and six arms, they would absolutely not be a match.

The key was that, besides Gusu Gusu Murong Bo, one must also add Dharmakirti and Gusu Gusu Murong Fu.

These two need not be mentioned; although Gusu Gusu Murong Fu's Wu Gong was a bit lower, he was at least a peak expert of the Zong Shi Jing.

With the Gusu Gusu Murong clan's unique skills at his side, if Gusu Gusu Murong Fu performed well, he might not be unable to fight a Da Zong Shi Jing expert!

As for Dharmakirti, he was likewise an extraordinary expert.

Although this big Monk caused many jokes in the early stages,

he was, after all, an expert who mastered Yan Dao De Gong, the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin, and even Xiao Wu Xiang Gong!

Just based on these points, even ten Duan Zhengchuns would not necessarily be able to defeat him.

If these four joined forces to crush Duan Yu and his father, let alone in the Jianghu, even if the Duan father and son hid in the Imperial Palace, it would be useless.

With these four joining forces, they could almost kill anyone they wished to kill!

Even the Emperor of Dali would absolutely not be an exception!

"No way... why would Mr. Su say this?"

"Exactly! One is the Tibetan National Preceptor, one is a descendant of the Gusu Gusu Murong clan, and another is the deposed Crown Prince of Dali... these people have absolutely no connection; how could they possibly get along!"

"Alas! Let alone Duan Duan Yanqing, even if the big Monk Dharmakirti made a move, the Duan father and son could not possibly handle him... At that time, we all saw it with our own eyes; although his Yan Dao De Gong could not harm Mr. Su, a single strike of Yan Dao De Gong was more than enough to deal with the Duan father and son!"

"Unbelievable! If these people really joined forces, let alone killing the Duan father and son, even if they wiped out the entire Duan family of Dali, I would not be surprised!"

"You must know that Gusu Gusu Murong Bo back then was also a prominent figure in the Jianghu; if this man's ambition had not been too great, and he had not been bent on reviving that sinful Great Yan Kingdom, then with his abilities, he would likely have already become another Da Zong Shi Jing in the Wu Lin!"

"I wonder what Mr. Su's intention is in saying this? Could it be that these fellows will really join forces in the later stages?"

After hearing the crowd's discussion, North Qiao Feng's expression also became slightly grim at that moment.

If the matter really turned out as Mr. Su said, then this matter would surely be extremely difficult.

Gusu Gusu Murong Bo was an expert of what caliber; North Qiao Feng perhaps did not know, and it was hard to imagine.

After all, the two men did not live in the same era, nor had they ever exchanged blows.

But North Qiao Feng was perfectly clear about the Wu Gong of Gusu Gusu Murong Fu, Duan Duan Yanqing, and Dharmakirti.

Gusu Gusu Murong Fu need not be mentioned; although he was weaker than himself, he was still young; if he spent some time, calmed his mind, and properly tempered the Wu Gong he had learned, his Wu Dao Jing Jie would surely improve greatly.

In comparison, Duan Duan Yanqing was a thorough expert; the two had exchanged blows twice back then, and although Duan Duan Yanqing could not defeat North Qiao Feng both times,

North Qiao Feng knew clearly in his heart that if Duan Duan Yanqing had not been a disabled body, it would not have been so easy for him to win.

For no other reason; just that Duan Duan Yanqing, despite his disability, possessed a strong will and cultivated Yi Yang Zhi to such a high Gao De Jing Jie, which showed that this man's Wu Xue Jing Jie talent was not low, and his willpower was extremely strong.

As for the final Dharmakirti, North Qiao Feng's impression was even deeper; back then, the two had exchanged blows in Shaolin Temple.

In that duel, North Qiao Feng used nearly eighty or ninety percent of his strength, and only barely managed to draw with Dharmakirti.

In that battle, North Qiao Feng was deeply impressed by the Wu Dao Jing Jie of this Tibetan National Preceptor, and he was even more admiring of his skill with Yan Dao De Gong!

Although in terms of ferocity, Yan Dao De Gong could not compare to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, this Men Wu Gong excelled in lightness and cleverness, and its preparation time was extremely short; it could also be fired consecutively; these were advantages the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms did not possess.

Although the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were the peerless Wu Gong of the Gai Gang, Yan Dao De Gong was also the peerless Wu Gong of the Tibetan Kingdom.

Both were top-tier skills among external Wu Gong; North Qiao Feng naturally knew this in his heart.

Thinking of this, North Qiao Feng also wore a look of difficulty on his face and said:

"If it were only Duan Duan Yanqing, my younger brother could handle it himself; if one added Gusu Gusu Murong Fu and Duan Duan Yanqing, I, North Qiao Feng, could step in and offer some help."

"But if one adds Gusu Gusu Murong Bo... Mr. Su is right; my younger brother is absolutely unable to handle it!"

North Qiao Feng also knew clearly in his heart

that the saying 'Southern Gusu Murong, Northern Qiao' referred to Gusu Gusu Murong Bo, not the current Gusu Gusu Murong Fu.

Gusu Gusu Murong Bo at his peak back then had strength and reputation that surpassed these several.

Otherwise, the saying in the Jianghu should not have been 'Southern Gusu Murong, Northern Qiao'; it should have been reversed, with Northern Qiao first and Southern Gusu Murong second.

But at the same time, Duan Yu frowned, asking with a look of surprise:

"Mr. Su, are you saying those few will join forces to deal with us father and son?"

"But these few are neither kin nor related; why would they join forces to deal with us?"

"This matter, by both reason and logic, makes no sense at all..."
