This place is fun

Chapter 147 Cold Valley
The middle-aged man's sudden intervention made everyone around him change their expressions.

The Su siblings and the children of the Yishan City's noble families were all shocked and angry, glaring at this person. Zheng Qiuyan, the only remaining member of the Yunjing Sect, and another female disciple looked at each other, both with mixed feelings of surprise and joy.

They didn't know who this middle-aged man who suddenly appeared was, but since he was so obviously biased towards the Yunjing Sect, he must be either a lifelong friend of the elders in the sect, or a respected elder from a friendly sect.

More importantly, this person's strength is truly terrifying. Although Su Daoyu and Bao Shouyi are not the best among the sect's disciples, they both have the strength of the upper seventh rank. Among all the sect's disciples, they can definitely be ranked in the top 50.

But these two people were no different from children in front of this middle-aged strong man.

"Junior Zheng Qiuyan pays respects to the elder." Zheng Qiuyan's mind moved, not daring to neglect, and hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed gracefully, and said in a half-explanatory and half-complaining tone, "Today, the disciples of Yunjing Sect were summoned together with all of you to fight against the You Clan, but unexpectedly we were bullied and suppressed by the local sects in Beijun. Fortunately, the senior stepped in to uphold justice, otherwise..."

As she spoke, Zheng Qiuyan's eyes turned red.

She was quite pretty, but now she looked aggrieved, like a little white flower, and even more pitiful. Seeing Zheng Qiuyan like this, another female disciple of Yunjing Sect and several bruised and dusty disciples hurried over to pay their respects and thank him, calling him "elder".

Seeing this, the people around were all amazed.

It was Zheng Qiuyan who had humiliated Su Yu at the beginning of the incident, but now she was not only blaming him, but also implicitly implicated other sects from other places in her words, causing a confrontation between the host and the guest.

Some of those who were quick-witted snorted and sneered.

However, the strength of the middle-aged man was too amazing. Not to mention that there was a strict hierarchy between the elders and the younger among the righteous sects. Even if they met a strong man of this level randomly outside, everyone would be respectful. Now that Yunjing Sect had this person's favoritism, no matter how uncomfortable everyone was, it would cause trouble for their own sect, and it was not convenient to expose Zheng Qiuyan in person.

"Bullshit!" Two screams were heard at the same time.

Others could remain silent as it was none of their business, but Yue Zhen and Su Yuke would not tolerate it and immediately scolded them.

Yue Zhen said bluntly: "Don't pretend to be a white lotus. You are just a vicious and venomous woman who is jealous of other people's beauty and has a secretive and vicious heart. By the way, where is your husband? Call them all out and let them divorce you!"

This sentence again... give it back to them... Zheng Qiuyan felt a pain in her heart, and her face turned pale. However, in front of this person who might be her senior, she couldn't argue with Yue Zhen, so she could only maintain her pitiful image with a frustrated look on her face.

And among the people around, there were several bursts of laughter.

After scolding Zheng Qiuyan, Yue Zhen turned his head and looked at Meng Qiaofu without any courtesy, and said angrily: "My dear senior, you are a respected elder, but you can't tell right from wrong, black from white. You are so confused! Let Brother Daoyu go immediately!"

When Yue Zhen scolded Zheng Qiuyan, Yue Shifeng and the others were sweating, but they still stood by her side to support her. But who knew that his sister was afraid that Su Daoshan would make a mistake, so she directly pointed the spearhead at the middle-aged strong man, and he didn't even have time to cover his mouth.

Seeing the middle-aged man turn around and glance at Yue Zhen, everyone felt their heartbeats slow down.

However, what people did not expect was that after being accused by Yue Zhen, the middle-aged man let Su Daoyu go with a half-smile on his face. He immediately turned his head away and ignored her, concentrating on watching the battle in the field.

"Brother," Su Yu stepped forward to support Su Daoyu, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Yue Zhen and others also gathered around.

Su Daoyu's expression changed. He glanced at the middle-aged man and shook his head, "I'm fine."

Not only was he fine, on the contrary, Su Daoyu felt much better than before. You know, when he first fought with Bao Shouyi, he was attacked by Bao Shouyi and suffered a loss, so Su Daoyu's internal energy had always been a little scattered. So much so that in the subsequent battles, he had to try his best to suppress it in order to make the internal energy barely run without losing control.

But because of this, his meridians had actually suffered hidden injuries.

But what Su Daoyu didn't expect was that when he was restrained by the middle-aged man just now, although he lost his ability to attack, his internal energy did not lose control. Instead, it was quickly adjusted and smoothed with the guidance of the gentle internal energy transmitted from his shoulders. Even the hidden injury in his meridians was resolved.

This made him confused for a moment as to whether this middle-aged man was an enemy or a friend.

Moreover, there was another important question that puzzled him - if the middle-aged man wanted to save Ma Wenrui and others, he could just do it directly. With his strength, it would be easy for him to control his second brother.

Why did he go to the trouble of separating himself and Bao Shouyi and then letting Bao Shouyi take action?

"Then Brother Daoshan..." Yue Zhen said anxiously.

Su Daoyu waved his hand, stared at the battle group in the field and said, "No hurry, let's wait and see."

Yue Zhen was also worried and confused. In fact, everyone present found that although Bao Shouyi was sent to the center of the battle group by the middle-aged man, he quickly replaced the two junior brothers who were beaten pale by Su Daoshan, and with the strength of the seventh rank, he obviously suppressed Su Daoshan's offensive. But even so, it did not appear as one-sided as imagined.

On the contrary, at this moment, the two of them were fighting back and forth!

At this moment, Su Daoshan was completely immersed in the artistic conception of the Crazy Eighteen Hammers. If he had to use all his strength to restrain himself when fighting with Ma Wenrui before, then at this moment, when his martial arts skills had reached the mastery level, he needed to use all his strength to burst out.

Not crazy, not live.

This is a rare state of mind. The comprehension of the artistic conception of boxing in his mind, combined with the actual fighting, can make him feel rapid improvement every minute and every second.

As a warrior, no one can resist the pleasure of improvement. It's like a fledgling bird finally flying into the sky, watching the mountains and rivers passing by below. It's like a young lion finally having a strong body and sharp claws and teeth, growing a mane, standing quietly on the hillside, looking down at the hyenas below.

Su Daoshan was still regretful before. He felt that Ma Wenrui was too weak to take a beating. After he entered the mastery realm, once his fists burst out, the opponent couldn't even take a single move.

And the Yunjing Sect disciples who rushed up from behind were even more vulnerable.

With just three punches and two kicks, there were only a few people left.

Although Su Daoshan was confident that in the future, with his understanding of the Eighteen Crazy Hammers, it was only a matter of time before he could improve, but after all, with such a good opportunity, who would be willing to give it up?
What Su Daoshan didn't expect was that just when he was secretly feeling sorry for it, another whetstone was brought to him.

Compared to Ma Wenrui, Bao Shouyi not only has a higher level of martial arts, but also stronger internal energy and blood. Moreover, the same set of "Yanbo Haomiao Palm" shows completely different power in his hands.

As soon as they started fighting, Su Daoshan discovered that although he was not inferior to a seventh-grade upper-level warrior in terms of physical strength and power, the gap between him and a true seventh-grade upper-level warrior was still very obvious.

The opponent's palm technique was dense and impenetrable. I fully released my energy and smashed it one hammer after another, just like smashing a ball of tightly packed cotton. There was both unloading force and solid resistance, as well as rebound force that erupted from time to time. I couldn't smash the opponent open, on the contrary, the opponent's counterattack was everywhere. The palm prints all over the sky, hitting down layer by layer, like a mountain pressing down on my head!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already exchanged more than a dozen moves.

Bang! Su Daoshan flew into the air, his body rolled 360 degrees horizontally in the air, and swung his right leg, directly exploding the air with a snapping sound. Like a sledgehammer, he drew a sharp arc in the air and smashed towards Bao Shouyi fiercely.

The twelfth move of the Eighteen Crazy Hammers is a violent wind that destroys the world.

Bao Shouyi crouched down and turned his palms, slapping and leading with both hands, making the force of Su Daoshan's kick invisible. Then he seized the opportunity when Su Daoshan fell to the ground, rushed forward, and slapped Su Daoshan's lower abdomen with his palms.

Su Daoshan was in the air, using the force of a windmill to roll over. The moment he landed, he punched the opponent's palm.

boom!
The collision of fists and palms was like a thunderclap. Su Daoshan groaned and retreated two steps, while Bao Shouyi only retreated one step.

Tsk. The crowd was in an uproar.

Everyone onlookers could see clearly that Bao Shouyi had seized the opportunity perfectly with this move. After neutralizing Su Daoshan's heavy hammer with his front hand, he immediately rushed forward and got close to him, leaving Su Daoshan no time or space to react.

Because the upper level of the seventh rank has already cultivated Qi to the extremities and can operate in a very small space, when Su Daoshan met his palm with a punch, he burst out with all his Qi. However, Su Daoshan was limited by the strength and range of motion of the lower level of the seventh rank, and had no space for Qi to burst out. Therefore, he could only rely on physical strength to fight against him.

There is no doubt that Bao Shouyi gained the upper hand in this move.

However, while everyone admired Bao Shouyi's experience and strength, they were also surprised by Su Daoshan's performance.

No one expected that a lower-rank seventh-rank warrior could defeat an upper-rank seventh-rank warrior, and this frail young man could actually use a punch without any energy to push Bao Shouyi back a step. This was a bit unbelievable.

You know, if a martial artist doesn't generate Qi when punching, it's like a bow string that's only half-drawn. The arrow that's shot out will probably be crooked and fall down as soon as it leaves the string, without even one-tenth of the force of a fully drawn bow.

After all, the force of the bow and the distance of the arrow are not proportional. The force of the bow string will only really explode when it reaches the point of full tension. Because this is the real combined force of the bow string and the bow body. If the bow string is only pulled a little, the bow body cannot even participate in it.

The same is true for a martial artist's fist. The energy that breaks through the air is a symbol of this kind of power.

Therefore, when Su Daoshan's punch was unable to generate Qi force, in the eyes of the warriors, it was at most slightly stronger than a punch thrown by an eighth-grade warrior who had not yet completed the transformation of Qi.

But just this one punch actually pushed Bao Shouyi back a step.

In a flash, Bao Shouyi seized the initiative and immediately took advantage of the victory, attacking without any hesitation.

"Not bad." A voice of praise rang out.

The disciples of Yunjing Sect nearby heard the voice and looked over, only to see the middle-aged strong man in the bamboo hat nodding repeatedly, with a hint of satisfaction and appreciation in his eyes, and a smile on his face that he could hardly suppress.

Zheng Qiuyan and the others looked at each other in surprise, and looked at Bao Shouyi with more admiration.

Senior Brother Shouyi, to be able to become a direct disciple, he is indeed gifted and extraordinary. This move immediately suppressed the boy who came out of nowhere.

Now that we have this elder in charge, I’m afraid it won’t be long before Senior Brother Shouyi can avenge Ma Wenrui!
Seeing Ma Wenrui, who was helped to the side, pale as paper, and had fainted, Zheng Qiuyan's eyes could not help but flash with a trace of resentment and expectation. She wished she could tear that vicious boy into pieces!
However, at this moment, the crowd was in an uproar. The next second, a group of young men and women squeezed into the crowd without any hesitation, surrounded the middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat, and shouted, "Uncle Master."

"This is..." Zheng Qiuyan and others smiled when they saw this. They were about to say something but were pushed away rudely by two female disciples from the sect.

"Go away. What are you doing so close to me, you slut?"

Zheng Qiuyan staggered and the smile on her face froze instantly.

"Uncle Master," Xue Yu and the others squeezed in, their eyes sparkling with excitement, and surrounded Meng Qiaofu, talking in a flurry, "Young Master Brother has achieved minor success!"

"Yeah. That punch just now was clearly the power of the mad demonic state of mind!"

Woodcutter Meng laughed and nodded, "You all have good eyesight. The punch has reached the minor perfection, and it is round and smooth. Form is the function, and intention is the body. Even if there is no burst of energy, the punch can be delivered with the intention and skills. This kid's Crazy Eighteen Hammers has reached the minor perfection!"

"Great!" Xue Yu and the others were all very surprised. They looked at Su Daoshan with curiosity, envy and expectation. Everyone couldn't wait to get to know this monster junior brother.

"No wonder the Sect Leader suddenly announced that he would accept Junior Brother as his personal disciple..." At this moment, this was the only thought in everyone's mind.

While Meng Qiaofu was talking to Xue Yu and the others, some people in the crowd around them had already recognized Xue Yu and the others.

"Hey, isn't that Xue Yu from Hangu?"

"There are also Jin Hang, Ye Xiaomian, Zhang Zhichu, Xie Mingsheng..."

There was a commotion in the crowd.

They were all disciples of the sect. Although no one knew Meng Qiaofu because of the geographical barriers and the fact that the elders and strong men of the sect were seldom seen, they knew the best among their peers. They knew which family had produced geniuses, which family's head disciple had been promoted to which realm, and which family's female disciple was outstanding in strength and beautiful.

Naturally, what everyone pays the most attention to on a daily basis are the disciples of the top sects.

As Xue Yu was the direct disciple of Xie Xunbai, the fifth elder of Han Valley, he had a great reputation. Especially when he was in Chongguang City some time ago, he and the Han Valley disciples around him were always with Snow Fairy Fan Caiyi.

Therefore, when they saw each other at this moment, someone recognized them immediately.

However, when they found out that the people in front of them were actually from Han Gu, the disciples of Yun Jing Sect were still stunned and didn't understand what was going on. However, the Su siblings, the Mo Hu Sword Sect disciples, and Yue Shifeng, Yue Zhen and other children of the Yi Shan City families suddenly opened their eyes wide and looked at each other in surprise.

As if she realized something, Yue Zhen, who had been glaring at Meng Qiaofu fiercely from time to time, let out an "ah" and hid her face behind Su Yu.
