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

Chapter 205 Peach Blossom Battle Against Quanzhen

Regardless, when Wu Chengyu saw Qu Lingfeng again after several years, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions, and the memories of his previous life on Peach Blossom Island came flooding back.

It must be said that on Peach Blossom Island, besides Aunt Feng Heng, there was also Feng Mofeng, who left a deep impression on the predecessor. Only Qu Lingfeng had the demeanor of a senior brother and took the best care of the predecessor. In fact, even the Azure Wave Palm Technique was taught by Qu Lingfeng.

However, the only explanation for Qu Lingfeng's appearance here is that Huang Yaoshi, unlike in the original story, finally remembered Feng Mofeng.

In the original story, all his disciples died. Before taking Cheng Ying as his disciple, he had no one he could command. Given his personality, he would never have gone around searching for Feng Mofeng all by himself. Now that he has a disciple who follows his orders, it is only natural for him to send Qu Lingfeng to find Feng Mofeng.

As for Wu Chengyu, Huang Yaoshi probably never considered him his disciple. Even though he could have found out Wu Chengyu's whereabouts from Lu Chengfeng, he didn't react at all over the years. Of course, this was also what Wu Chengyu wanted.

So since Qu Lingfeng appeared in Jianghu Village and stayed there, Feng Mofeng must also be here, and Wu Chengyu's goal can be considered achieved.

With that in mind, Wu Chengyu casually found a corner to sit down, ready to watch the show.

If it had been Feng Mofeng who was hitting people just now, he would definitely be no match for Sun Bu'er and Hao Datong, and Wu Chengyu might have had to step in to help.

But if it were Qu Lingfeng instead, these two Taoists would probably be at a disadvantage. After all, among all the Five Greats' successors, not counting Feng Mofeng and the yet-to-be-born Cheng Ying, Sun Bu'er's martial arts skills should be the lowest, while Hao Datong's skills are good, but he is not too strong in a fight.

"Who are you, daring to cause trouble for my Quanzhen Sect?"

"As expected, the elders came after the younger ones were beaten. Which two of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen are you? Where is Wang Chuyi? Why don't you send him to see me?"

"Do you know my Senior Brother Wang? If you are a friend of Senior Brother Wang, we can sit down and talk about what just happened."

“I am not friends with your Quanzhen Sect. I only met Wang Chuyi once during the Mount Hua Sword Tournament.”

Wu Chengyu also recalled that during the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, Qu Lingfeng accompanied the group as the eldest disciple, while Wang Chongyang only brought Wang Chuyi as his disciple. At that time, the Five Greats of the world were competing on the top of Mount Hua, and Qu Lingfeng and Wang Chuyi were waiting halfway up the mountain, so the two had met once.

"The Mount Hua Sword Tournament? Who exactly are you? May I ask which of the Five Greats' masters are your disciples?"

"My name is Qu Lingfeng, a disciple of Peach Blossom Island. How dare your two little Taoist priests spout such nonsense? If they had run into me, I would have taught them a lesson, which would have been a small favor to the Quanzhen Sect. Wang Chongyang has been dead for so many years, how dare you slander my master?"

"Hmph, although my master is no longer here, how could my Quanzhen Sect be afraid of you, a member of the Eastern Heretic Sect?"

"Now that the disciple of the Central Divine has encountered you, the successor of the Eastern Heretic, there's no need for further words. Let's settle this with a sword."

Sun Bu'er was the most impatient. Before she finished speaking, she drew her sword and rushed forward. She was the weakest in martial arts among the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, so Wang Chongyang specially bestowed upon her a precious sword, which was also known as being able to cut through iron like mud. With a move called "Raising the Sail and Lifting the Oars," the sword moved like a boat sailing on a river, rising with the momentum. The tip of the sword moved and struck several major acupoints on Qu Lingfeng's chest.

Sun Bu'er's martial arts skills are absolutely top-notch among ordinary martial arts practitioners. She has been practicing the Quanzhen Sword Technique for more than 20 years and has long mastered its essence. This sword technique is strict and has very few flaws. The sword is drawn from the heart and the heart is in the sword. If it were an ordinary martial arts practitioner, they would have no choice but to avoid it at this moment.

But Qu Lingfeng was undoubtedly the strongest among the Five Greats' successors. Despite his weakened state, relying entirely on a cane for support, he neither dodged nor evaded. He planted his right cane in the ground, using his waist to rotate it, while his left cane smoothly blocked. No matter how unpredictable Sun Bu'er's swordplay, his cane seemed to have a preordained target; the tip of the cane struck first, landing squarely on Sun Bu'er's sword tip. Moreover, using the force of the cane's rotation, combined with his own internal energy, he knocked Sun Bu'er back without retreating an inch himself.

The iron staff in his hand was indeed extraordinary; Sun Bu'er's sword couldn't gain any advantage.

Sun Bu'er was defeated in one move. This woman had a volatile temper and was not willing to give in. She shouted angrily and pounced on her again.

She unleashed the Quanzhen Swordplay in succession. The Quanzhen Swordplay consists of seven moves, each with seven styles, some like a boat sailing on a river, some like the winds of the four seasons, some like stars and the moon in the sky, and some like clouds and mist. Every move and style comes from Wang Chongyang. Although it may not seem like a top-level swordplay, its concept is actually extremely high.

In Wu Chengyu's eyes, Sun Bu'er had mastered the Quanzhen Sword Technique to perfection. When she attacked with hatred in her heart, coupled with the sharp sword in her hand, her attack power was definitely formidable.

However, to reach the highest level, this sword technique must contain the true meaning of Taoism. If Sun Bu'er uses it in a way that is solely focused on bravery and aggression, it will have long lost its original charm.

As expected, no matter how fiercely Sun Bu'er attacked, Qu Lingfeng always used his right cane to support himself and relied entirely on his left cane to defend. Each strike was powerful and heavy, forcibly interrupting Sun Bu'er's sword moves. Every time Sun Bu'er rushed forward with an angry shout, he would be knocked back by Qu Lingfeng's cane.

After Sun Bu'er finished using the Quanzhen Family Technique, he couldn't gain the slightest advantage and had to retreat repeatedly. His chest felt tight from the force of Qu Lingfeng's blows, while Qu Lingfeng's right cane remained firmly planted in the ground without moving an inch.

Despite being disciples of the Five Greats, the difference between them is so great. Moreover, Wu Chengyu could tell that Qu Lingfeng's martial arts had improved significantly in recent years compared to when he was at Xiaoling Mountain. Presumably, he had received guidance from Huang Yaoshi after returning to Peach Blossom Island.

Seeing Sun Bu'er get the short end of the stick, Hao Datong finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Your martial arts are so high, sir. You are indeed worthy of being the successor of the Eastern Heretic. I, a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, have been outnumbered and outmatched today. I am ashamed."

He spoke of feeling ashamed, but his sword showed no mercy. His skill was superior to Sun Bu'er's. The two had been in perfect harmony for many years and practiced Quanzhen swordsmanship, which had a more Taoist flavor compared to Sun Bu'er's.

However, despite these two subtle nuances, the Quanzhen sword technique he wielded was completely different from Sun Bu'er's.

The sword moves were not about being fierce, but rather about being light and unassuming. However, every time he made a move, Qu Lingfeng had to stop him first before dealing with Sun Bu'er.

This is Taoist martial arts. The more profound one's Taoist teachings are, the greater the power of Taoist martial arts. In terms of cultivation, Hao Datong was not far behind the Seven Masters of Quanzhen. However, he was rather pedantic and not good at martial arts.

Later, he went to Mount Hua, founded the Mount Hua Sect, and was able to deduce the Zixia Divine Skill based on what Wang Chongyang had passed down, which shows that this guy was actually far less incompetent than he was in the original story.

With Hao Datong joining the fray, the situation on the field changed again. In a two-against-one situation, Qu Lingfeng was originally able to handle it, but after all, his legs were crippled. He used a crutch to block two swords at the same time. Each opponent was not someone he could defeat in just a few moves. As the fight continued, his advantage was gradually leveled.

Most importantly, at this moment, an old Taoist priest suddenly appeared in the room.
