Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 198 The Real Guo Jing

There are many people eyeing Liancheng's treasure. Ling Tui Si's move of sending troops to surround Zuixian Tower was very unusual, which made some people with ulterior motives see clues. However, snakes have their ways, and rats have their ways. Even if there was a delay in learning the inside story, those who wanted to know the truth eventually learned some fragments.

The guards in the government office, the constables in the yamen, and the dismissed servants are all ways to obtain information.

Guo Jing was not the only one targeted. In fact, everyone who had contact with Ding Dian in the end was targeted.

But who made Guo Jing act alone, and his power is weak now?

He was the one most likely to be targeted, and Guo Jing had little experience in the martial arts world and was not very wary of others. Without Huang Rong and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan following him, he faced the cruelty of the martial arts world head-on.

Ever since he encountered the first wave of tentative attacks in the inn, he has never stopped.

The "weakness" in his martial arts was also seen by those who were secretly watching. Although no one knew why his strength had regressed so much, it was undoubtedly good news for those who wanted to obtain the priceless treasure from him.

The most fatal weakness of aggressive martial arts is often that they require a high level of skill, otherwise it is difficult to exert their full power.

This is true for the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and of course it is also true for the punch and palm taught by Qiu Chuji.

Therefore, Guo Jing, who had only recovered 10% of his strength, actually retained less than 100% of his original combat power.

In this state, he was first chased by the disciples arranged by Wan Zhenshan, and then he was attacked by the martial arts masters arranged by Wanyan Honglie. Guo Jing was wounded successively. After fleeing to a forest, he could no longer bear it and fainted.

When Guo Jing regained consciousness, he smelled the odor of burnt rice soup.

A middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, dressed like a beggar, walked towards him holding a broken bowl.

"you're awake?"

"Come, drink this bowl of porridge to warm your stomach first." The middle-aged beggar said to Guo Jing gently.

Guo Jing took a look at the beggar's chest and waist, and did not see any pockets that symbolized his identity as a member of the Beggars' Sect, which made him a little disappointed.

It seems that this middle-aged beggar is not a member of the Beggars' Gang.

Because of Hong Qigong, Guo Jing has a natural liking for the Beggars' Sect. If the beggar he meets at this time is a disciple of the Beggars' Sect, he will feel more confident.

Guo Jing took the porridge that had a mushy smell and put it directly to his lips. After blowing on it, he poured it into his mouth without any doubt.

His weak body made him crave for nutrients, and a bowl of porridge with a burnt taste could not satisfy his appetite at all.

"Take a nap first, and when you feel better, you can eat something else."

"You have three sword wounds and five knife wounds. Although none of them hurt your bones, you have lost a lot of blood. You need to take good care of yourself."

The middle-aged beggar spoke gently, like a kind-hearted elder.

After chatting for a while, the middle-aged beggar asked, "Did you offend someone important?"

"Looking at the direction of your wounds, they should have been caused by different masters. Who would arrange so many experts to hunt down a young man like you?"

Although Guo Jing was dull, he was not really a fool. He certainly had some guesses about the reason. He answered carefully, "I don't know about this either. Thank you for your care, uncle. Guo Jing will report back someday. It is not appropriate for me to stay here any longer now, so as not to cause trouble for you."

"Oh! No trouble! No trouble... If you have any difficulties, you might as well tell me clearly, and I will share your burden, share it with you." The middle-aged beggar wrapped the bowl that Guo Jing put down with a rag and put it aside, then said with a smile.

Guo Jing shook his head and struggled to get up.

But before he took a step, he felt a pain in his stomach and his legs went weak. Although a warm current immediately surged through his limbs and suppressed the pain, Guo Jing did not stand up. Instead, he continued to hold his stomach, his face becoming even paler.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

"I put Soul-Chasing and Heart-Breaking Powder in the porridge you just ate. If there is no antidote, every time you move, it will feel like your stomach is being twisted by several steel knives, and the pain will be unbearable."

“Of course, even if you don’t move, the poison will erupt once every incense stick of time, and each time it will become stronger and stronger until all your intestines are crushed. Then you will die!” The middle-aged beggar still had a smile on his face, but looking at that smile at this moment, where was the slightest bit of gentleness and kindness?
Guo Jing raised his head, gritted his teeth and asked the middle-aged beggar: "I haven't offended you, why do you want to harm me?"

The middle-aged beggar said: "You didn't offend me, but you took things you shouldn't have taken and knew things you shouldn't have known. That gives me a reason to poison you!"

"Now, hand over the Liancheng Jue honestly. As long as you obey me, I will give you the antidote and declare to the world that it was me who took the Liancheng treasure. I have nothing to do with you anymore, and no one will chase you anymore."

No matter how slow-witted Guo Jing was, he would never believe such nonsense.

Moreover, Guo Jing's condition at this time was actually not as bad as the middle-aged beggar thought.

The blood of the medicinal snakes that Liang Ziweng had raised for many years has powerful medicinal properties. Although most of it has been converted into power, some of it remains in Guo Jing's body and has not been digested. These medicinal properties can not only help Guo Jing recover his power faster, but also have a certain ability to resist toxins.

What's more, Guo Jing had taken a pill of Impermanence Pill before. This pill was bright red like blood and was the best healing medicine in the world. It was very effective in improving and restoring martial arts skills, healing internal and external injuries, or detoxifying.

The power of the Impermanence Pill was still in Guo Jing's body and had not been completely digested. It was also helping Guo Jing to dissolve the toxins in his body. "Who are you?" Guo Jing asked through gritted teeth.

The middle-aged beggar said, "Land Dragon Yan Daping, I wonder if you still remember that we met once in Zuixianlou... But at that time you were fighting in the middle of the hall, and I was watching from upstairs."

"By the way! Your martial arts skills are also very good. You will write down the martial arts secrets later."

Guo Jing nodded slightly and said, "Okay! I understand!"

After saying that, he suddenly moved and punched the middle-aged beggar hard in the chest.

Who is Guo Jing?

At the age of six, he stabbed Chen Xuanfeng to death with a dagger. In order to get Ma Yu's teachings, he could climb a hundred-meter-high ice cliff without any protection. In order to save the besieged Temujin, he could break into the army alone on horseback, kidnap Du Shi, and bring a turning point for Temujin.

So, we can say that Guo Jing is weak, but we cannot say that he is a loser.

No matter how unfavorable the situation is, he dares to think, dares to act, and dares to fight. With such courage, he has already surpassed millions of people in the world.

Simple, honest, taciturn, sincere, loyal, and kind... These are certainly his good qualities, but apart from that, he is not a lamb to be slaughtered at any time.

He is like a wolf in the desert, with a ferociousness and ruthlessness that is good at disguising himself; and like an eagle on the snowy mountain, with the heart to fight against the sky and the wind and snow.

Faced with the threat, he first showed weakness to the enemy and then attacked fiercely.

The punch came unexpectedly, and even though Yan Daping was quite strong, perhaps even comparable to the weaker ones among the Seven Quanzhen Masters, he only dodged half of it in an instant. The other half of the punch still had some power and hit him hard in the chest, knocking him away.

Guo Jing scored with one punch, but he did not show any mercy and chased after him, punching him three more times.

Every punch he threw was packed with full force, without holding back at all.

Yan Daping's meanness aroused Guo Jing's vicious nature, which was covered by the gentle country after he arrived in the Central Plains.

Whether it is a wolf or an eagle, they are all beasts and they all eat meat!!
Yan Daping made a mistake and fell into a terrible situation. He was chased and beaten by Guo Jing. Even though Guo Jing's strength was greatly reduced and he was still seriously injured, Yan Daping was also injured in the internal organs and broken ribs by the sudden punch. He had less than half of his strength left.

The two men fought again, to see who was more ferocious and who didn't care about his life.

Relying on his youth and the undigested effects of the medicine in his body, Guo Jing completely gave up on defense. All of his remaining strength was concentrated on the tip of his fist, and he suppressed Yan Daping with one punch after another, forcing him to retreat step by step.

"Stop! Stop!"

"Just consider that I admit defeat this time! If you and I stop, I will leave and never trouble you again... I will give you the antidote." Yan Daping resisted awkwardly and shouted hurriedly.

He planned to get through this hurdle first, and then try again after Guo Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

For people like Yan Daping, going back on one's word is as common as drinking water or farting.

Guo Jing's punches did not slow down, and his attacks became even more fierce.

Yan Daping had nothing to do with him, yet he poisoned him. Guo Jing just didn't assume bad intentions from others, but he was not really stupid, so how could he stop?
He also knows the principle of making a concerted effort.

Given his current situation, now that he has let go of his anger, it will be difficult for him to fight back.

Punches were thrown at him fiercely, and Yan Daping was in a very miserable state, with a look of disfigurement on his face.

Yan Daping dodged in a panic, hoping to take the opportunity to create some distance between himself and Guo Jing so that he could draw his weapon and continue fighting.

Guo Jing did not give Yan Daping such an opportunity at all. After fighting with Wanyan Kang, Guo Jing gained a lot of experience on how to fight against masters who are good at weapons.

Even Yan Daping didn't have the chance to use his sword to condense sword energy to deal with Guo Jing.

Because Wanyan Kang had also used the same method... and it was thanks to Yan Daping's "reminder" at that time.

In order to prevent Yan Daping from turning over, Guo Jing even gave up those long-range and more powerful boxing moves, and shortened the distance between him and Yan Daping, almost pressing their bodies against each other, fighting at the shortest distance.

After getting close, Guo Jing suddenly hugged the opponent's waist and let Yan Daping's palm hit his back heavily. Then he roared and pulled up with force, using the Mongolian wrestling posture, and gave Yan Daping a heavy throw backwards.

There is a crisp sound!
Yan Daping was totally unprepared for this move, and his neck was broken by Guo Jing. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he was no longer able to survive.

In a severely disabled state, Guo Jing might be no match for Yan Daping in a duel in the ring.

But when the outcome of life and death is decided, Guo Jing...will definitely win!
