Chapter 273 Little Hidden Dragon

As things have developed to this point, no one doubts Fu Qingzhou's strength anymore.

The fact that he was able to defeat the future leader of Wan Du Mountain, Senluo Guiwu Murong Xuan, proves that he is indeed capable of competing for the top spot among the 100 Hidden Dragons.

And this circle is really...

In fact, few people could have imagined that Yuan Zhen would appear here.

In Jinchan Temple, several abbots nowadays are masters of the Hui generation, who are great powers that ordinary people cannot reach at all; the next generation is the Yuan generation, most of whom are seniors who have reached the peak of martial or spiritual enlightenment.

Although Yuan Zhen is young, he is of a very high generation in the martial arts world. To be honest, he can be considered the uncle or even the great-grandmaster of most young heroes.

Such a person must be a top-notch genius in the world, and with the support of top resources from a large sect, he is destined to be another powerful and intimidating figure in the world of martial arts in the future.

And Fu Qingzhou?

Long Dabei’s disciples were very famous, but everyone knew that Long Dabei died without teaching them anything.

Wuwei Temple disciples... I heard that Wuwei Temple was the former Zhenxian Palace, but so what? It has not appeared in the martial arts world for more than 30 years. Who cares about a declining sect?

But now, the way everyone looked at Fu Qingzhou was completely different.

Although he seemed to be using the Jinchan Temple swordsmanship, everyone knew from the previous competition that his bow-wielding skills were no weaker than his swordsmanship.

Now, fighting with Yuan Zhen with a sword seems more like a deliberate act, wanting to express the pride of "My swordsmanship is not inferior to yours."

There is no need to explain this thing, everyone who practices cultivation understands it.

At this time, all the people in the martial arts world who looked at Fu Qingzhou had expressions of respect on their faces.

At least... they knew very well that there was no way they could take those two blows.

Of course, not to mention the third knife!
Yuan Zhen was seen stroking the back of the knife with his hand, the focus in his eyes gradually disappearing, and the whole person seemed to have entered a state of no thoughts and no desires.

Fu Qingzhou frowned slightly.

Although the opponent is not moving at the moment, it seems that he is gathering strength, that is, as many people complain when watching animations, he is in the "transformation stage", and it seems that we can take the opportunity to knock him down, but...

He could sense that this was not the case.

If you try to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Yuan Zhen, you will definitely die a miserable death.

This feeling has no real evidence; it is purely the practitioner's sixth sense.

"Ignorance is destroyed, but the other shore is immortal..."

In Fu Qingzhou's mind, the Smoker muttered, "A man at the fifth level of Wuqiao can actually learn this sword. He is a natural talent... This little monk has a terrifying talent!"

"Do you know this sword technique?" Fu Qingzhou's eyes moved slightly.

The smoker laughed dryly, "How could I not know? That old bald donkey came to my Styx Valley and figured out this knife technique!"

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

"However... although this little monk has comprehended the meaning of this sword, his cultivation is still too low. He only has the form, but not the spirit. He can't even exert one thousandth of the power of this sword."

The smoker said with a click of his tongue: "It's not difficult for you to take this knife, Fu boy."

"Just remember that there is no knife, nor any knife style or knife technique. As for the rest, there is no point in telling you. You have to figure it out on your own."

No knife, and no knife techniques?
Fu Qingzhou looked at Yuan Zhen's mysterious appearance and seemed to have thought of something.

So he thought about it, reached out and tore off his shirt which had already turned into tattered strips of cloth, revealing his well-proportioned muscles stained with blood.

What shocked everyone even more was that Fu Qingzhou just flicked his hand and stabbed the saber that Ning Wushu had given him onto the ground beside him!
"Master Fu, what are you doing?!"

In the crowd, Ning Wushu was shocked: "Hurry up and pick up the knife!"

Fu Qingzhou didn't say anything. He took off the quiver and threw it to Tang Jiao, who was standing not far away with a nervous look on her face.

Tang Jiao took the bow, pursed her lips and said nothing.

"What is your senior brother doing?" Someone asked her in astonishment, "Does he want to die?"

Tang Jiao shook her head vigorously: "Brother must have his reasons!"

Fu Qingzhou did not explain. In the confused and shocked eyes of everyone around him, he took off all his weapons and even threw the Cutting Sword aside.

He was shirtless, took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

On this side, Yuan Zhen seemed to have lost sight of Fu Qingzhou's movements.

His eyes turned gray, and his body was as solid as a rock without any trembling, as if even his breathing had stopped.

But everyone could sense that an indescribable aura began to condense on his broadsword!

The knife seemed to absorb light, making the surroundings dim, and everyone subconsciously retreated slowly. Finally, everything came to the critical moment.

Yuan Zhen moved and gently handed out the broadsword.

At this moment, everyone who was watching the scene felt as if a silent bolt of lightning had struck their heads, and their vision went dark for a moment.

After a moment, Fu Qingzhou took a step back.

The tip of Yuan Zhen's knife was still two steps away from him, but it seemed that everyone saw that the silent and invisible thunder exploded on Fu Qingzhou!
“Oh…I see.”

At this moment, Fu Qingzhou opened his eyes and smiled.

He wiped away the blood that was faintly flowing from his nostrils and chuckled, "The extinction of ignorance is nothing more than this."

"This..." Everyone was stunned: "What just happened?!"

Tang Jiao showed a look of delight, bit her lip and waved her fist vigorously.

Murong Xuan looked shocked, then calmed down a little bit, shook her head, and whispered: "It seems that I am still not good enough."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

In the crowd, Ning Wushu narrowed his eyes and murmured, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is... But how did this kid see through it?"

On this side, Yuan Zhen's eyes gradually regained focus, and he looked a little stunned: "Donor, you..."

“This isn’t knife skills at all.”

Fu Qingzhou said calmly: "This is a spell."

Yuan Zhen's pupils narrowed.

"Of course, I can't say that absolutely." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile: "Your spell does contain a very deep sword meaning. If you don't practice the sword technique to perfection, you will never be able to use this sword."

"So, you don't have to chop my body with your knife. You just need to pierce the knife intent into my brain."

"If someone else were to be subjected to your treatment, their soul would probably be split in half and sent directly to the other side."

As he spoke, he reached out and tapped his temple lightly: "But fortunately, I have a lot of experience in this area, and I am mentally prepared, so it is not difficult to resist."

Yuan Zhen's expression gradually recovered. He exhaled lightly and shook his head gently: "I see... Donor, you took off your weapons and clothes so that your skin could touch the heaven and earth, so that your spirit could better sense your body, so as to enlighten your mind and strengthen your soul."

At this point, he was somewhat puzzled: "But benefactor, how did you see through the mystery of the extinction of ignorance at a glance?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled.

Of course he wouldn't say it was the smoker who gave him the advice.

If you want to talk about cheating, this is of course a little bit of cheating.

But... you are a monk from Jinchan Temple. Although you appear to be quite kind now, who knows what you are thinking!

I didn't cheat, so am I really that stupid to use my brain to handle it?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yuan Zhen just smiled, put away his broadsword, and clasped his hands together: "It's normal that the donor doesn't want to say more. So, it is true that I have lost."

He bowed his head slightly towards Fu Qingzhou and said, "Donor, I will come to visit you in the next few days. I will ask for a favor from you then."

"let's discuss it later."

Fu Qingzhou curled his lips and bowed to the stunned people around him: "Everyone, I am no longer able to fight today. I should go back and rest. If there are any brothers and sisters who want to learn from you, please come back tomorrow."

As he spoke, he bowed to Ning Wushu again and said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Ning, for lending me your knife. This knife is really good."

After saying that, he shook his body and staggered towards Tang Jiao.

After fighting repeatedly and facing such a powerful opponent, he had indeed reached his limit.

Tang Jiao rushed over, took out a piece of cloth from somewhere and put it on him, then picked up the large bows and quivers, short swords and long swords, supported him, and slowly walked away.

The people in the martial arts world watched him leave. No one made a commotion. They just reviewed the battle in their minds blankly.

After an unknown amount of time, someone said in a trembling voice, "Why are you still watching the Hidden Dragon Hundred Heroes Gathering? Who else could this Hidden Dragon be other than Fu Qingzhou?"

"That, that can't be said... If he really fights Yuan Zhen to the death, he may not necessarily win."

Someone else smiled bitterly and said, "But he is indeed one of the strongest among the younger generation."

"No matter what, in my eyes, Young Master Fu is already a potential dragon." An older man in the martial arts world sighed, "At least I am far inferior to him..."

"Then let's call him... Little Hidden Dragon."

Someone laughed and said, "No matter who is the champion of the Hundred Talents Conference and who gets the title of Hidden Dragon, after a few rounds of competition by the river today, Fu Qingzhou is destined to become famous all over the world."

"He deserves the title of Little Hidden Dragon!"
