The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 149 Black Tiger Steals the Heart
In an instant, the tide of battle turned, and the Imperial Guards and assassins who had been focused on killing Shi Miyuan were completely powerless to resist.

With the addition of experts around Zhao Ju to the battle, another squad of imperial guards emerged under Zhao Ju's command and surrounded the group.

Standing on the high ground, Wu Chengyu lost all desire to continue watching.

These people are finished. It is estimated that after this incident, all the pro-war faction in the Song Dynasty court will be wiped out, and there will be no hope of them rising again.

The imperial court was filled with pro-surrender factions, and the Song Dynasty was on its way to annihilation.

But Shi Miyuan is really hard to kill. He was assassinated by various forces, yet he still held immense power and remained as stable as Mount Tai for more than twenty years.

"How was the performance?" the woman asked, turning to look at Wu Chengyu, her bright red lips parted in a wide grin.

"It's not very meaningful. Wasn't the ending already predetermined? Even if something unexpected happens, there's always a top expert like you who can step in at any time. Isn't that why you came here today?"

"Yeah, it's nothing special, but I still have you, right? Seeing you makes me very happy today."

A few days ago, the imperial palace sent out experts to besiege Yue Fei's army. I heard that there was a person with excellent lightness skills who could turn into many shadows at once to intervene and save people.

One of my friends was handsome and usually made me happy and put me to sleep. I even taught him a few things. Unfortunately, he died there, chased to his death by that person who could turn into a shadow.

When they found his body, it was beaten beyond recognition and looked absolutely gruesome.

By the way, do you know someone named Zhao Feng?

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman was still pretending to be sad. Wu Chengyu suddenly realized that Zhao Feng was this woman's male lover. No wonder the woman had been chasing after him that night.

The news that he was good at creating clones must have been brought back by Qiu Qianren, who had escaped. Let's complain again about Hong Qigong's gluttony and mistakes.

From the moment this woman suddenly appeared beside Wu Chengyu today, the two did not immediately make a move. Wu Chengyu had been silently pondering how to deal with this woman.

The woman's lightness skill was slightly superior to Wu Chengyu's, so the old methods of hit-and-run would no longer be effective.

She is also a master of microscopic techniques; getting close to her for close combat will be limited.

In terms of skill, Wu Chengyu's nameless inner cultivation method has made great progress recently, but his total internal energy should not be as good as this guy who has lived at least thirty years longer.

So Wu Chengyu only had one last card left.

"Before Zhao Feng died, he asked me to pass on a message to you: the rouge on your body smells terrible and makes him want to vomit."

As soon as the words left her mouth, the woman's expression changed. She looked coldly at Wu Chengyu, about to retort, but then her eyes widened in astonishment.

As Wu Chengyu was speaking, he suddenly rushed towards her. The two were only a few steps apart, and Wu Chengyu's speed would bring them together in the blink of an eye. But in that instant, Wu Chengyu's body suddenly swelled up, transforming from a sturdy figure that was only a little over 1.7 meters tall to nearly 1.9 meters tall, his body resembling half a wall.

Strangely, as his body expanded, his speed increased even further. His fist, the size of a clay pot, rose like a heavy weapon, whistling as it aimed a powerful blow at the woman's chest. The woman reacted swiftly, using her strength to block Wu Chengyu's punch and simultaneously using the force to float backward.

Wu Chengyu's punch failed, so he attacked even more fiercely. He used cat-like steps and the explosive power brought by his super long Achilles tendon to cross the distance as if he were teleporting. In an instant, he arrived in front of the woman with the Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Strike. It was powerful and heavy, and he was unstoppable.

This time, the woman was serious. She used all her strength, swung her hand, and struck Wu Chengyu's fist squarely with her palm.

Wu Chengyu's internal strength was indeed inferior to hers, and she was temporarily pushed back by this palm strike. The power of Wu Chengyu's punch was completely beyond the woman's expectations. She was pushed back a greater distance, and her expression showed some pain, as if she was injured.

Because of this punch, Wu Chengyu used not only his internal strength, but also the immense strength of 800 jin that he had painstakingly acquired through training in the ox and horse stance.

This isn't some fantasy martial arts world where a single punch can weigh tens or even hundreds of tons. Even the Golden Wheel Monk, who has mastered the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to the tenth level, only possesses a force of about a thousand jin.

But a force of a thousand catties was enough to make the Golden Wheel Monk a master on par with the Five Greats.

Although this woman is a top-notch expert, her body is so effeminate that she is not like Ah Ku from the movie "Bear in the Woods." Her body is not strong at all, and in terms of physical strength alone, she is far inferior to Wu Chengyu.

This is the method Wu Chengyu came up with: to suppress people with force. It's not internal energy, but the most basic strength of the human body. Unless the Golden Wheel Monk suddenly appears, no one in the entire Jiangnan region, including Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong, can match him in terms of physical strength.

When Wu Chengyu went out to fight, in addition to disguising himself, he always maintained the state of bone shrinking skill, because his original body size was too conspicuous, and no matter how much he disguised his face, he could not fool others.

However, using the Bone Shrinking Technique comes at a price. By forcibly compressing his body, which is like half a wall, to a certain proportion, Wu Chengyu's original physical body is actually restricted in all aspects. Whether it is strength, speed, or reaction, it is 20% weaker than a normal body.

However, Wu Chengyu had never encountered a master who could force him to reveal his true form. Hong Qigong clearly did not intend to kill him, and he did not consider the old beggar to be an enemy.

That night, the woman's attention was diverted by the shifting of stars, and she failed to catch up with Wu Chengyu. Otherwise, Wu Chengyu would have surely reverted to his true form at the crucial moment.

Wu Chengyu's punch was effective. Even if the woman didn't have internal injuries, her right hand, which was striking him, would definitely be injured from the shock. He didn't hesitate any longer and charged at the woman again, using the Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Technique.

The woman retreated swiftly. In terms of lightness skill, she was slightly faster than Wu Chengyu in his shrunken state. Now that she had returned to her true form, their lightness skills were basically equal. However, Wu Chengyu's explosive speed in the first step, created by his various body-refining methods, was unparalleled. No matter how the woman changed her position, she could not shake off Wu Chengyu.

The woman leaped into the air, but Wu Chengyu was even higher, delivering a Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Kick followed by a Heart-Piercing Leg.

The woman moved left and right, and Wu Chengyu created ten clones. After reverting to his true form, he could create ten clones, all surrounding the woman, while simultaneously unleashing ten Black Tiger Heart-Piercing attacks.

In short, no matter how the woman responded, Wu Chengyu was like someone who was stuck in a rut, always sticking to the same one move: Black Tiger Steals the Heart.

To deal with such a master who has reached the level of subtlety, unless you are at the same level, playing tricks and changing moves will be useless and will be seen through. Only the simplest and most direct Black Tiger Strike the Heart is fast, fierce, and powerful, making the opponent's subtlety completely ineffective.

Faced with such an attack, the woman had no choice but to take it head-on if she couldn't dodge it. The two exchanged punches and palm strikes more than ten times in a row. Wu Chengyu finally became somewhat exhausted and needed to retreat to catch his breath, while the woman was clearly at a greater disadvantage.

It's no wonder that a frail woman in her fifties or sixties was injured when a strong man repeatedly punched her in the chest.
