The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 36: Two Fingers Clamping the Invisible, Fuyilou Killer

"Brother!"

"careful!"

"Taoist Priest!"

Xuan Tong, Xuan Yu and Chu Yunfei were all horrified.

The change came too suddenly, and no one expected that there would be a powerful Qigong master hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

At a distance of three feet, the murderous intent was revealed and struck directly at the throat.

The man in black had a vicious look in his eyes. He was confident in his punch. Even a real person of the same level would have a high probability of being killed.

In a flash, Xuan Ming slowly extended two fingers, and was the first to arrive. His powerful aura condensed, and something was caught two feet away from him, forced to reveal its shape. It turned out to be an invisible cone hidden in his fist.

Xuan Tong took a breath of cold air.

Xuan Yu broke into a sweat.

Chu Yunfei's body tensed.

Sneak attacks and assassinations with hidden weapons are truly insidious and vicious.

Xuan Ming, on the other hand, looked calm. In the black-clothed man's astonished eyes, he lightly flicked the whisk in his left hand and knocked the man away.

The blood surged up and spurted out of his mouth, splashing into the sky. In an instant, the situation changed and the man in black was seriously injured.

Chu Yunfei hadn't even breathed a sigh of relief when he immediately raised his breath because the man in black suddenly flipped in the air, endured his injuries, and rushed towards him regardless.

The pressure of Qi training came.

A cold murderous intent is approaching.

Although Chu Yunfei was surprised, he was not afraid of danger. He shouted angrily, mobilized all his energy, and raised his hand to punch.

He had never fought against a Qigong practitioner before, so he might as well take this opportunity to test it out and see the difference between the two.

The blood instantly burned and the fighting spirit boiled in an instant.

Chu Yunfei had a strong will to fight, and his majestic momentum burst out in an instant. He swung his fist and attacked, and the air exploded.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the invisible energy all gathered in one punch, carrying the wind and rain, and rushed straight towards him.

The momentum is mighty, with strong winds and heavy rain.

The punch is domineering and the punch is fierce.

Invincible with One Punch, as the name suggests, Chu Yunfei always fights with all his strength and only throws one punch.

One punch decides life or death.

One punch and the winner of the fight will be revealed.

One punch will tell who is strong and who is weak.

If the man in black was intact, he would not be afraid of this attack. Now that his strength has been damaged, he should have avoided the punch. However, he did not dodge or evade, allowing the wind from the punch to hit him in the face. He was actually planning to take the blow head-on, risking his life to kill Chu Yunfei.

Xuan Tong and Xuan Yu's faces changed when they saw the identity of the man in black. It was obvious that he was a killer.

"Brother!"

Xuan Tong urgently shouted that Chu Yunfei must not die in Floating Cloud Mountain, otherwise, Qiuzhen Temple would be in big trouble.

Xuanming naturally saw that he had already taken action when the man in black was about to kill Chu Yunfei.

With a light wave of the whisk, three thousand silver threads wrapped around the man in black. The Hunyuan magic power flowed into his body along the silver threads, forcefully sealing his magic power and leaving him unable to fight back.

Under the incredulous gaze of the man in black, Chu Yunfei punched him directly in the face.

A clicking sound.

The skull of this Qigong expert cracked and blood flowed from all his orifices. Before he died, he stared straight at Xuanming. His eyes gradually lost their luster and he died with his eyes open.

Retracting the whisk and ignoring Chu Yunfei's indescribable resentful look, Xuanming stroked his beard and looked up at the sky, pretending to be confused.

---

On the top of the mountain, there was silence for a moment.

Until the rain fell again, Chu Yunfei moved his lips, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "Thank you for saving my life, Master."

He is not an ungrateful person.

If Master Xuanming had not taken action in that attack just now, he could certainly fight with Lianqi, but the result would only be mutual losses, or even mutual destruction.

Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to die either. What he did just now was just a hasty instinctive reaction to survive and defense: offense is the best defense.

Although due to the intervention of the real person, it seemed like he was just practicing Qigong in a fake way and had no sense of accomplishment at all, the fact was that he was saved.

Turning to look at Chu Yunfei, Xuanming dodged the greeting and explained, "Although you came uninvited, you acted openly and honestly, and you are a guest. In this case, it is my duty as the Truth Seeking Temple to protect you. Moreover, this person committed a crime in my temple, and I cannot sit idly by."

"Whether the real person admits it or not, I, Chu Yunfei, will accept this life-saving grace."

Chu Yunfei said frankly.

Xuanming didn't refuse.

Anyway, I have already explained it, and I won't say it a second time. If you are willing to admit it, then admit it. If you refuse, it will make you look experienced and pretentious. The thanks of the eldest son of the Chu family, if you want to give it, I will accept it.

Looking at the one-foot-long cone in his hand, Xuanming thought: "Could this be the invisible cone in the rumors?"

Xuan Tong and Xuan Yu stepped forward. The former was smart. Thinking of the black-clothed man's ruthlessness of burning himself together with his enemy, he agreed, "What Senior Brother said should be correct."

"It is said that the rule of Fuyi Tower is to fight to the death. Once the killer is out of the scabbard, blood will be seen. Once the killer is out, he will fight to the death."

"Either the target dies, or you die."

“This man in black looks so similar.”

"This invisible cone is one of the seven killing weapons of Fuyi Tower."

Xuan Tong and Xuan Yu both looked at Chu Yunfei. There had never been a killer from Fuyi Tower in Qiuzhen Temple before, so this man in black could only have been brought by this young man from aristocratic family.

The fact that the man in black was determined to kill Chu Yunfei at all costs just now is proof of that.

I killed Senior Brother Xuanming because he posed the greatest threat and I discovered his whereabouts, so I took action without hesitation.

Chu Yunfei also thought of this, and his expression suddenly darkened. Fuyilou is not someone to be trifled with. If you are targeted by them, you will be treated like taffy.

Putting away the invisible cone, Xuanming said: "Perhaps he is not here just for Mr. Chu, but the person behind the scenes wants to kill two birds with one stone."

Seeing Chu Yunfei's thoughtful expression, Xuan Tong understood what Xuan Ming meant after receiving a glance from him, and began to talk about the various disputes surrounding the Qiuzhen Temple's request for the killing order and the relationship between the Chen family and the Zhoushan Wang family.

"I suspect that the Wang family set up this trap and lured me here, and they hired someone to kill me?"

Chu Yunfei asked in a deep voice.

Xuan Ming analyzed rationally: "The Wang family is just a suspicion. Maybe it's not the Wang family, maybe someone else is interfering."

Although I suspect the Wang family, I don't rule out other possibilities.

This matter is of great importance, and he will not act on impulse.

Seeing Chu Yunfei nod, Xuanming continued: "Moreover, it's not just killing two birds with one stone."

"If I had not achieved the status of a real person, think about it, little friend Chu, what would have happened if we fought this time?"

---

Although Chu Yunfei is a martial arts fanatic, he is not a stubborn person. Having received orthodox education from an aristocratic family, he is a man of great wisdom. Otherwise, he would not have suspected that someone had deliberately set up a trap to lure him here.

Chu Yunfei still chose to come to Floating Cloud Mountain. Besides being excited to see the prey and really wanting to fight Xuanming, he also wanted to take advantage of the situation and use himself as bait to lure the snake out of its hole. He wanted to see who was behind the plot.

Following Xuanming's thoughts, Chu Yunfei's expression became even gloomier.

If Taoist Xuanming had not yet broken through, and the two fought with all their strength, either they would be evenly matched and both would suffer losses; or he would injure Taoist Xuanming, damaging his foundation and making him hopeless of practicing Qi; or he would be defeated and could kill Taoist Xuanming. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, and there will inevitably be endless challengers.

A clay pot will break if it is not kept away from the well. A general is bound to die in the battle. No matter how strong Xuan Ming is, he will die one day.

If he died on the way down the mountain after challenging Xuanming, not only would the Chu family be heartbroken as they would lose a promising successor, but the Chu family would also vent their anger on the Qiuzhen Temple. By then, this Taoist lineage would be buried with him.

Think about it from another angle. If the order received by the assassin from Fuyi Tower was to kill both him and Xuanming, it would also be possible to kill two birds with one stone and cut off the hopes of Qiuzhen Temple and the Chu family.

How calculating and vicious!

After figuring it out, Chu Yunfei was wary of the person behind the scenes, and said solemnly: "Thank you for your guidance, Immortal. When I go back, I will report this to you, the elders, and investigate this matter thoroughly. I will definitely find out who is behind this, and order him to give an explanation to me and the Qiuzhen Temple."

Xuanming said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Chu."

"The people of Qiuzhen Temple are mainly devoted to cultivating the mind and rarely get involved in worldly affairs. They are indeed not good at investigating. I will trouble you with this matter."

Chu Yunfei bowed and said solemnly: "Master, you are too kind. This is not only for the sake of the Seeking Truth, but also for our Chu family."

"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against a hidden arrow. It's better to catch the rat hiding in the dark."

Xuan Tong and Xuan Yu were happy.

Xuan Ming also smiled and looked at Chu Yunfei, asking, "Young man, do you want to challenge me again?"

Chu Yunfei asked, "Just now, the Master injured the man in black with such ease. I dare to guess that the Master has built a superior foundation for the Dao?"

Waving his hand to interrupt Xuan Tong who was about to speak, Xuan Ming admitted frankly: "My friend, your guess is correct."

After getting a positive answer, Chu Yunfei said with a firm face: "In this case, I will challenge you even more. My Chu family is a master boxer, and we become stronger when we meet a stronger opponent. I am determined to practice my spirit and challenge the strong from all sides in order to increase my own foundation. Regardless of success or failure in this battle, it will be a test for me."

"Okay! Since you have thought it through, I will definitely help you. But I have a request."

"Please tell me, real person."

“If I win by chance, please keep the news of my breakthrough a secret for the time being. As I get older, I become more cautious and thoughtful. I should not have the intention to harm others, but I should always be on guard against others. If one less person knows about my breakthrough, if there is a real crisis, I can catch them by surprise and have a better chance of winning.”

"Master, rest assured, I am not a talkative person, but I am afraid I cannot lie to my father."

"It doesn't matter. I believe that the head of the Chu family must be an upright person to be able to teach a person like Chu Xiaoyou."

After he finished speaking, Xuanming raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, and with a thought he suppressed his cultivation level to the same level.

Chu Yunfei was also gathering his strength.
