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

Chapter 160 Life and Death Crisis
Seeing Shi Miyuan finally die under his crotch, Wu Chengyu, who had been scheming and going through many twists and turns, finally fulfilled his promise and felt a sense of relief. But now was not the time to rest; he was about to face the biggest crisis since his transmigration.

The woman he had knocked away rushed up from behind again. The fifty-year-old woman was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, her body was weak and sore, and her hair was disheveled. At this moment, she looked like a vengeful ghost.

All the gold hairpins weighing more than two pounds on his head fell off, but he still held a gold hairpin in each hand.

Guhua's speed also reached its limit. In the blink of an eye, several shadows appeared on a straight line, covering a distance of just over ten feet. Just as she was about to collide with Wu Chengyu, the golden hairpin in her hand went even faster, piercing straight into Wu Chengyu's kidneys.

The other three experts also returned. They were bewildered by the shifting stars and suffered repeated losses. Instead of attacking at the same time, they surrounded the enemy from three different directions.

Of all the people, the one who posed the greatest threat to Wu Chengyu was Guihua. Wu Chengyu dared not be careless. He leaped into the air, first avoiding Guihua's vicious attack on his waist, and then used the same trick again, delivering another groin kick to Guihua.

Unfortunately, the same trick no longer worked. Last time, Guihua was also disturbed by this shameless fighting style. A master like him has an extremely strong will. He has done a lot of mental preparation in the past few days and finally managed to suppress his psychological flaws.

When Wu Chengyu launched his groin kick, he finally stopped instinctively arching his back and sticking out his buttocks. Instead of choosing to meet the kick head-on, he ignored Wu Chengyu's groin kick and delivered the same groin kick to Wu Chengyu.

Now it's Wu Chengyu's turn to avoid it. Guihua is no longer a vital spot, but Wu Chengyu is definitely one. If hit, it will explode and may even cause him to lose his mobility on the spot.

However, Wu Chengyu lost the initiative by dodging. The distance between him and Guihua was instantly closed, and he could no longer shake her off. The two had no choice but to fight in the air. As if teleporting, the two figures were entangled in the air within a radius of several feet, appearing and disappearing.

The more they fought, the more alarmed Wu Chengyu became. In just a few moves, he was injured one after another, with several bloody holes pierced by the hairpin.

To deal with a master like Guihua at the microscopic level, it's best not to engage in a battle of techniques. No matter how profound the fist or palm techniques used, they can't compare to the keen insight of the microscopic realm. The opponent doesn't even need to think; a casual palm strike will directly target the weakness.

Last time, Wu Chengyu used a groin kick to constantly harass Guihua, breaking her mindset with a sneaky attack. At the same time, he used the Star Shift technique to delay Guihua's attack, which prevented Guihua from using her Subtle Realm.

However, the groin kick has now become Wu Chengyu's own weakness, and he no longer dares to use it. At the same time, the effect of the Star Shift technique has also been greatly reduced.

Guihua was indeed a master of the Five Greats level. Last time, she was not familiar with the mysteries of the Star Shift technique, which allowed Wu Chengyu to succeed.

In the past few days, he has been reflecting deeply on his mistakes and pondering carefully. Since the Shifting Stars technique is not a martial arts move, he cannot completely decipher it like Ouyang Feng. However, he has managed to come up with some ways to deal with it and effectively counteract some of the invisible force field of the Shifting Stars technique.

The skill "Shifting Stars" is absolutely divine, but Wu Chengyu hasn't fully mastered it yet, so there are always weaknesses. Guihua seized upon these weaknesses.

Ultimately, it comes down to the difference in their martial arts skills. Without those underhanded methods and with their own divine skills restricted, the gap between them immediately became apparent.

After Shi Miyuan was killed, Wu Chengyu wanted to run away, but Guihua's speed made it impossible for him to find an opportunity.

Now he has suffered setbacks one after another, his clothes are mostly stained red with blood, and he is gradually losing strength. If he doesn't run now, it will be too late.

Wu Chengyu steeled his heart and resorted to his old tricks again, using his back to ram into Guihua, and using his invincible body to bully this fifty-year-old woman.

Guihua had just suffered a loss in this move and could only dodge Wu Chengyu's brutal charge. This was exactly the opportunity Wu Chengyu wanted. He used the space Guihua had created to charge straight at her, wanting to escape immediately. Unfortunately, there were three experts watching him closely. If he didn't rely on his cheating lightness skill and the mystery of the "Shifting Stars" technique, these three experts were actually more skilled than him, and each of them could hold him off for a while.

The three of them had surrounded Wu Chengyu and Guihua in a triangular formation, but they didn't make a move immediately. They were waiting for this moment.

Wu Chengyu chose the direction where the nameless Song Dynasty master was. His palm power was even stronger than Zhao Ju's. When he saw Wu Chengyu rushing over, he did not entangle him. In the blink of an eye, he unleashed several palm strikes, completely covering Wu Chengyu's front.

This nameless man had just exchanged several blows with Wu Chengyu, but he suffered losses due to the "Shifting Stars" technique. Therefore, he did not engage Wu Chengyu in direct combat at all, but instead used his palm force to block Wu Chengyu's path.

If you manage to hold Wu Chengyu back for even two breaths, Guihua will immediately entangle him, giving him no chance to escape.

This nameless man's palm strike was solid and powerful enough to pierce through metal and stone upon contact. While not as formidable as Hong Qigong, it was no less powerful than Qiu Qianren. He truly lived up to his reputation as a top-tier master kept in the Song Dynasty imperial palace.

Wu Chengyu did not want to engage in a palm strike with him, as the force of the palm strikes would inevitably cause him to be forced back. Even with the urgent use of the "Shifting Stars" technique, he could not transfer so much palm force. Helpless, he created seven or eight clones at the same time, and then his real body moved to the vicinity of the Jin Kingdom swordsman.

Among the several experts present, only this swordsman's martial arts skills were slightly inferior.

To prevent the Star Shift technique from forcibly seizing control of the blade, the swordsman gripped the sword with both hands. Seeing Wu Chengyu rushing over, he channeled all his inner strength into the blade, and instead of slashing, he used a single thrusting technique.

The longsword is divided into five directions: up, down, left, right, and center. In a rapid state, five consecutive thrusts are made. The speed of the sword is extremely fast. After a thrust, regardless of whether it hits or not, it is immediately pulled back and thrust in another direction. This is done to avoid the restraining force of the shifting stars.

But apart from Guihua, among everyone present, Wu Chengyu was least afraid of competing with him in speed.

Wu Chengyu once again created shadow clones, letting the swordsman's longsword pass through several shadows, while his real body leaped up, preparing to pass over the swordsman's head.

At this moment, Guihua was only a few steps away from Wu Chengyu. With his lightness skill, he could catch up in just one breath. But this distance was enough. As long as Wu Chengyu passed the swordsman, there would be a flat plain ahead. He could then use his lightness skill to shake off the other three masters.

With only Guhua chasing after him, and mountains all around, Wu Chengyu's chances of escape increased significantly.

Just as he leaped into the air and was about to find a way to escape, the swordsman beneath him suddenly sheathed his sword and rolled a good ten feet away from Wu Chengyu. Guihua did not chase after him as expected.

Wu Chengyu knew something was wrong. He looked up and saw a pair of Jin guards drawing their bows and shooting arrows at him. In an instant, arrows rained down.

Ordinary archers' arrows posed no threat to Wu Chengyu, but there was also Puchalieshi, who had just tried to humiliate Wu Chengyu but was instead assassinated by Wu Chengyu.

This guy was known as the best archer in the Jin Kingdom, and he certainly lived up to his reputation.
