Eternal Night

Chapter 578 Cause and Effect

Wu Pifu had no intention of humiliating Ouyang Feng.

Although known as the "Western Poison," Ouyang Feng was indeed ruthless, both in the book and in Wu Pifu's perception. However, he also possessed some of the demeanor of a master. Whether due to his status or some other reason, he rarely harmed ordinary people. Of course, he did commit countless killings and plunder at White Camel Mountain Manor in the Western Regions.

In Wu Pifu's emotional perception, Ouyang Feng's emotions were all revealed, but there was no intention to abuse ordinary people among them. From this point of view, Ouyang Feng was at least a human being, much better than his son Ouyang Ke. At most, he was just a villain who was about to become inhuman.

In light of this, Wu Pifu treated Ouyang Feng with the utmost courtesy. With a release of his inner force, Ouyang Feng finally landed on the ground. Wu Pifu, standing on the upper floor of the restaurant, addressed Ouyang Feng, who was standing on the street: "Originally, I didn't intend to make a move, but your son was too arrogant. He insisted on coming in front of me and even tried to harm my female companion. If I hadn't been there, my female companion would probably have been killed. That's one reason. Secondly, I owe someone a karmic debt. Even if he himself doesn't know it, one can deceive others but not one's conscience. A karmic debt is a debt. So... one move. Ouyang Feng, you are a grandmaster of this world. I will only make one move. It's not to humiliate you, but to give you the utmost respect for your status."

Ouyang Feng didn't utter a single harsh word, nor did he say anything befitting his status as one of the Five Greats. As soon as Wu Pifu finished speaking, he had already dashed away like lightning. His inner strength had been unleashed to its limit, and his movement technique was superb. His movement technique looked very strange, with pauses and leaps, but his speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he had already dashed past several buildings and was about to run out of the street.

At this moment, Guo Jing, who was suffering from internal injuries, couldn't help but shout, "Senior, Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, is about to escape!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chuji and the others, who had been stunned, were immediately alarmed and shielded Guo Jing behind them, their faces tense and wary. Guo Jing, on the other hand, was completely unaware and just stared blankly at Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu smiled at Guo Jing, then turned to look into the distance. Ouyang Feng was no longer visible from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, but he didn't care. Instead, he picked up a wine cup on the table and took a sip. Huang Rong immediately refilled it for him. Only then did Wu Pifu raise his hand to form a palm.

It wasn't that he was deliberately showing off, but rather that he wanted Ouyang Feng to go to an open space, otherwise he was really afraid that the power would be too great and hurt innocent people.

He was about to strike, but then he thought of Guo Jing, and of Mu Nianci they had just mentioned, and of the child who would be born in the future. His heart softened, and he transformed his palm into fingers, chanting, "Two tigers, two tigers, running fast, running fast..."

The recitation is done by pointing with one finger.

Everyone in the same building: "?"

Suddenly, a sharp explosion erupted as a finger hovered in the air. Everyone present instinctively covered their ears. When they looked again, they saw a visible trajectory of air distortion stretching from Wu Pifu's finger to a distance of several thousand meters.

Meanwhile, thousands of meters away, Ouyang Feng was still running frantically.

He no longer cared about his own son, Ouyang Ke; all he could think about was the scene of Wu Pifu reaching out and grabbing him.

Such godlike and demonic martial arts were unheard of; he couldn't even imagine it.

As one of the Five Greats of the era, Ouyang Feng was extremely knowledgeable about the martial arts world, including the martial arts styles of the other four Greats, various secret manuals, and even the legendary masters and rumors of the past.

But after thinking it over, Ouyang Feng couldn't even imagine anything like Wu Pifu.

Legend has it that during the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a leader of the Beggars' Clan in the Central Plains martial arts world who was even more powerful than Hong Qigong, the Northern Beggar, one of the Five Greats. In addition to the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, he also possessed the supposedly lost Dragon-Capturing Skill, but that was only enough to grab weapons within a few meters. At the same time, Shaolin Temple was also known for producing a martial arts legend with a three-foot passive qi wall, which was already a martial arts legend.

Who the hell can capture people over a thousand meters away with a simple wave of their hand?
This isn't martial arts at all!
Suddenly, Ouyang Feng tensed up as an incredibly strong aura descended upon him. Instinctively, he dropped to the ground, taking deep, forceful breaths and exhaling, lying on the ground like a toad. With a sharp, explosive sound, Ouyang Feng roared and burst into the air. As the ground cracked, he thrust out with both palms, unleashing his immense inner strength.

Let alone ordinary people, even martial arts masters who are not among the Five Greats would avoid his sharp edge. Ouyang Feng's Toad Stance is the best in the martial arts world today, and its explosive power is unparalleled. However, when he unleashed his full power, he was easily broken by a finger strike that crossed thousands of meters. In an instant, his palms lost their power, and he fell to the ground. The finger strike landed precisely on his brow, and with a thud, Ouyang Feng was sent flying dozens of meters away.

After a while, Ouyang Feng, who had been lying on the ground, got up, but his eyes were full of confusion, and his movements were sluggish and insane.

"...Toad, good toad..."

"who am I?"

"Oh, right, my son was killed, I'm going to find my enemy..."

Who is my son?

"And who is my enemy?"

Ouyang Feng mumbled incoherently for a while, then hopped and skipped away into the distance...

After pointing a finger, Wu Pifu shook his head slightly and then looked at everyone present.

Both sides were startled, but Wu Pifu ignored them and walked straight up to Guo Jing, smiling as he asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Guo Jing's master and Qiu Chuji were extremely nervous, but they didn't dare to make a move at all.

If they dare to take up arms to fight back against a powerful enemy, that is called courage. But taking up arms against this god-like and demonic person is meaningless. That is not courage, that is arrogance.

Fortunately, Wu Pifu didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Guo Jing, and Guo Jing, looking rather dazed, asked, "Why should I be afraid of you?" "Fine."

Wu Pifu walked up to Guo Jing with a smile, gazing at the boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Thinking of his actions in the book, especially his heroic death with the city, he sighed, "What a good boy..."

After saying that, Wu Pifu reached out and placed his hand on Guo Jing's head.

Guo Jing was startled and tried to dodge, but he couldn't even move. Wu Pifu had already placed his hand on the top of his head. In the blink of an eye, Guo Jing's eyes went blank, and then his whole body began to turn red, and his pores began to steam.

Wu Pifu transmitted all the key points, moves, and techniques of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to Guo Jing through his sea of ​​consciousness. Guo Jing was now capable of performing this kind of empowerment. Not only that, he also transmitted the content of the Human Immortal Martial Arts. However, to prevent Guo Jing from being too honest and inadvertently revealing the secrets of the Human Immortal Martial Arts, thus triggering the so-called martial arts catastrophe in this world, he simply transmitted information similar to muscle memory, allowing Guo Jing's body to instinctively operate the Human Immortal Martial Arts.

Given Guo Jing's intelligence, he probably could only understand it intuitively and couldn't explain it in words, which prevented it from being leaked to outsiders.

After doing all this, Wu Pifu let go of Guo Jing and let him collapse to the ground. Then he laughed and said, "The debt of cause and effect has been settled. Everyone, farewell."

After saying that, Wu Pifu left a piece of gold on the table, helped Huang Rong take a step out of the restaurant, and stepped into the air as if it were solid ground. Then, he walked step by step into the air and in an instant, he was on the horizon.

Everyone rushed to the broken wall and looked out, only to see a black dot on the horizon, which disappeared in an instant.

"An immortal! An immortal is right before my eyes!!" Liang Ziweng from the Prince's Mansion suddenly roared, tearing his sleeve as he shouted, while staring intently at Guo Jing.

Guo Jing had already woken up. He was completely unaware of what had just happened, but he thought the man's posture of walking on air was really amazing.

He stared blankly at his three masters and asked, "Master, if I master lightness skill, can I fly like this?"

The other three of the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan were speechless. Qiu Chuji looked at the sky blankly and said, "Are there really immortals? Are there really immortals?"

At this moment, Ke Zhen'e heard Zhu Cong recount everything that had just happened, especially the man taking someone with him and disappearing into the air... not just in words, disappearing into the air. He remained silent for a long time before asking Guo Jing, "Jing'er, did you... sense anything?"

Just now, when that god-like and demonic man left, he stroked Guo Jing's head. Everyone present had heard stories of immortals, and they had all heard the tale of an immortal stroking their head and bestowing upon them immortality. So at this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Guo Jing.

Guo Jing was still confused. He scratched his head and asked, "What do I feel? But my body feels so hot..."

"My destiny with the immortals is mine!"

Liang Ziweng suddenly sprang up, his eyes bloodshot. Because of the suddenness of his attack, no one noticed him at first, and they saw his palms already thrusting towards Guo Jing's face.

Guo Jing panicked, and instinctively swung his palms forward in a semi-circle—it was muscle memory…

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out, and a faintly visible dragon-shaped aura emanated from the palm strike. Qiu Chuji was so familiar with this palm strike that he almost roared its name out. Most importantly, its power…

Liang Ziweng was instantly smashed into a pulp by a single palm strike. The immense force of the palm strike slammed into another wall, shattering it completely.

The remaining people were stunned, bewildered, disbelieving, and lost...

Guo Jing covered his palm and said, "I didn't hit him, he rushed into my palm himself, I really didn't hit him! You can see for yourselves!"

As he spoke, in order to prove his "innocence," Guo Jing drew a semi-circle with one hand and struck another intact wall from several meters away. With a loud bang, the dragon-shaped energy was truly visible to the naked eye, and the wall indeed shattered, and the top floor of the entire building was about to collapse.

Guo Jing clenched his fists tightly, his face contorted with tears, and said to his three masters and Qiu Chuji, "It wasn't me, I don't know, I don't know..."

Then he pointed his palm at Yang Kang, with whom he had recently cultivated a close relationship, and said, "Brother Yang, believe me, it really wasn't me. If you don't believe me, look at this palm..."

Yang Kang knelt down with a thud and shouted, "Brother Guo, I've thought it through! I'll immediately take Mu Nianci back to our hometown to observe mourning for our parents. I've made up my mind!!"

Although Guo Jing was overjoyed, he still didn't know his own situation and was anxious. He extended his hand to the short, stout man again, saying, "Chief Peng, you know my strength, this isn't..."

Without saying a word, Peng Lianhu also knelt down with a thud and shouted, "Hero Guo, I've figured it out..."

On the other side, tens of thousands of meters away, Wu Pifu was still walking on air, laughing heartily, which left Huang Rong in his arms completely bewildered.
