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

Chapter 161 Light Your Own Candle
Wu Chengyu could ignore the rain of arrows, but he dared not ignore the powerful arrows shot by Puchalieshi. They were truly as fast as lightning, with accuracy, speed, and power all at their peak.

In an instant, Puchalieshi fired seven arrows in rapid succession, each one faster than the last and in a different direction, completely sealing off the space around Wu Chengyu.

There is no such thing as controlling arrows with qi in this world, nor is there any concept like in Huang Yi's martial arts world of pouring all one's mind into the arrow. However, after firing all the arrows in a row, Pu Chalieshi was covered in sweat and immediately began to regulate his qi.

Wu Chengyu was still in the air. He first used the invisible force field of the Shifting Stars technique to deflect all the arrows three feet in front of him. However, he could only interfere with the first four of the seven arrows shot by Puchalieshi. He could no longer stop the remaining three arrows, which were about to pass through him.

In mid-air, Wu Chengyu used his powerful core strength to forcefully twist his body. First, he used the Snake-like Leap and Eel-like Skill to twist his body into a pretzel shape, barely managing to avoid an arrow. Then, he used the Great Subduing Demon Fist to strike with all his might, deflecting another arrow astray.

But he could no longer avoid the last arrow. He twisted his body to the extreme, but the arrow still pierced through his calf, taking away a large piece of flesh and damaging his Achilles tendon.

Wu Chengyu's greatest advantage has always been his lightness skill, an almost superhuman ability that allows him to protect himself against any expert.

His lightness skill is based on cat-like steps and explosive power from his extremely strong Achilles tendon. Once his Achilles tendon is injured, he will no longer be able to use his lightness skill.

Wu Chengyu staggered to the ground, nearly losing his balance.

The three experts knew that Wu Chengyu was already at his limit, so they stopped rushing to attack and instead surrounded him in a triangular formation.

With a swift movement, Guihua appeared opposite Wu Chengyu, her hair disheveled, her face deathly pale, her mouth blood-red, and her eyes filled with the madness and ferocity of someone about to catch their prey and toy with it to death.

"Your face is so ugly now that I've lost all interest in playing with you properly. How should I deal with you next?"
There are hundreds of ways to torture people in the palace. I'm going to try them all on you one by one. No one has ever been able to try them all completely.

"You're so strong, and you don't even flinch after these injuries. You're a real tough guy. I'm becoming more and more interested in you. Don't let me down."

While regulating his breathing to recover his strength, Wu Chengyu used the method of controlling his tendons and bones with ox and horse stakes to tighten the muscles and skin of his injured leg, gradually stopping the bleeding. He stepped on his foot slightly and immediately felt a sharp pain. In this state, he could no longer use the cat step, and most of his lightness skill was ruined.

No matter how critical the situation, Wu Chengyu refused to admit defeat and retorted sharply despite the pain.

“A eunuch is a eunuch. After that knife wound, you were no longer considered a human being.”

And she insists on calling herself "this lady"—you won't actually believe her after all this time, will you?

Do you think that dressing up like this makes you a real woman?
As a man, you'll always be missing something. As a woman, not to mention what you lack, the key is that you're just too ugly. Even if you were sent to Siam, you'd still be an ugly thing that no one would want.

And I've wanted to say this for a long time: the stench of urine on you is unbearable, no amount of makeup can mask it. Every time I see you, I want to throw you into a latrine to get rid of the smell. Seriously, you stink so badly.

As he spoke, Wu Chengyu shook his head and put his hand to his mouth and nose, as if he was nauseous from the fumes.

Guhua was so angry she was practically fuming. She glared at Wu Chengyu and said, "Your mouth stinks even more. I'm going to pull out all your teeth one by one, and then I'll pull out your tongue and cut it into pieces. I'm going to make you..."

"Wait, what did you just eat?"

Guihua, being at the level of the Subtle Realm, was so angry that her three corpses were raging, but she quickly realized that Wu Chengyu seemed to have put something in his mouth when he covered his mouth and nose.

In just a few breaths, Wu Chengyu, who had been injured in many places, lost too much blood, had a sallow complexion, and was not as strong as before, suddenly began to improve rapidly.

Wu Chengyu felt the same way; his strength was constantly rising, even surpassing his peak condition. Many of his wounds hadn't healed, but they were completely painless, especially his severely injured calf, which was now full of power again, even more explosive than before the injury.

At this moment, Wu Chengyu's body has surpassed its previous self in every aspect, and even his internal strength has doubled, causing his meridians to ache slightly.

Having failed to break through the encirclement and been tricked by Pu Chalieshi, Wu Chengyu was truly at his wit's end after injuring his Achilles tendon. Without his lightness skill to maneuver, coupled with his injuries, he would not be able to hold out for long if the fight continued.

For Wu Chengyu, dying in time would be the greatest happiness. Falling into the hands of a monster like Guhua would be worse than death.

The best way was to commit suicide. Although death is the only way out of all the hardships in the world, Wu Chengyu never thought of committing suicide.

At this moment, the only option is to fight desperately. Only by fighting desperately can we have a chance to survive. But to fight desperately, we need to have the resources to do so.

Fortunately, he had a cheat code: the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique pill version given to him by the bamboo slip: light candles at both ends, and scrape off one-tenth of it to feed Wanyan Hongyu.

It seems I really have to consume the remaining pills myself. Even if my foundation is completely destroyed, as long as I survive, there is hope.

Or think of that classic line: 'I don't care if I live or die, I just want you to die.'

Wu Chengyu felt that he had completely broken through his peak state, and slowly raised his hands with unprecedented strength.

At that moment, a sentence suddenly popped into his mind after he had been studying Taoist scriptures diligently for the past few years.

The Complete Daoist Classic states: "Preserving life is the best, losing life is next, dying is next, and forcing life is the worst."

"Forced living means being forced into a state worse than death. Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. I am more merciful, so you should just die."

As soon as he finished speaking, he split into twelve shadows, breaking through the limit of ten shadows in his true form. In an instant, he actually attacked Guhua and the other three great masters at the same time.

With a strength exceeding 800 jin and almost doubled internal energy, combined with the powerful and fierce Great Subduing Demon Fist, a single punch unleashed possessed the same power as Hong Qigong's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Even Guihua could only temporarily evade his powerful punches, and the other three were all at a disadvantage in the contest of internal strength.

Zhao Ju was forced to retreat repeatedly by the Great Subduing Demon Fist. Wu Chengyu combined physical strength with internal energy, and in the fierce battle, Zhao Ju's arms were almost broken.

The nameless man's palm strike was extremely powerful. Wu Chengyu changed his fist technique to the Nine Yin Divine Claw for close combat. He was now faster than Guihua and left five bloody holes in the nameless man's body.

The Jin Dynasty swordsman was in even greater danger. As the stars shifted, his sword kept slashing towards his own head. He couldn't control it at all, and his sword was knocked away from his hand in just a few moves.

Only Guihua could barely hold on.

But none of them expected that Wu Chengyu had only suddenly approached You Dou. After the twelve figures disappeared, Wu Chengyu's true form suddenly appeared beside Pu Chalie Shi.
