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

Chapter 207 Long time no see
My friend, it's been so long! I've been looking for you all this time.

Wu Chengyu rested his chin on his hand, looking Feng Mofeng up and down. Compared to five or six years ago, Feng Mofeng had matured a lot. At such a young age, his face already showed signs of vicissitude. This guy used to be a handsome young man with white teeth and red lips, but now he no longer looked as dashing as he used to be.

He leaned on a wooden cane, wearing tattered clothes with many burn holes, indicating that he was ill. His face was pale, but his skin was dark, and his hair had many charred yellow spots. The life of a blacksmith was hard for him.

Fortunately, his eyes are still the same as they were back then, honest and simple. He wasn't very clever in his previous life either, but he often managed to fool Feng Mofeng.

Seeing this, Wu Chengyu felt somewhat saddened. Huang Yaoshi had really caused a lot of harm back then.

When Wu Chengyu left Peach Blossom Island, at least he was saved by Master Mo. Although he later encountered danger, he was able to seek help from Hong Qigong. After returning to his family, he lived a life of luxury. Considering his time since transmigrating, apart from being born with a broken leg, Wu Chengyu has never suffered any losses in recent years.

But Feng Mofeng was only a year older than him, and he also had a broken leg. He was an orphan with no family to rely on, and he didn't know how he ended up in Shaanxi from Jiangnan. He might have encountered countless dangers along the way. If Wu Chengyu had transmigrated into Feng Mofeng, that would have been truly a tragic story for the protagonist.

Feng Mofeng only walked a few steps and said a few words before he became weak and breathless, even having difficulty standing. Qu Lingfeng immediately helped him to sit down.

"This trouble was caused by Senior Brother, but he can handle it, so don't worry. Just get well first, and then I'll take you back to Peach Blossom Island. Master said that once you get back, he'll teach you properly."

Feng Mofeng was too weak to speak, he could only nod, but his eyes were full of expectation. The more suffering he had endured over the years, the more he missed the days on Peach Blossom Island.

A dignified master, a loving mistress, tolerant senior brothers and sisters, and Wu Chengyu, who is younger than him but insisted on being his senior brother even though he entered the sect early.

These people and events hadn't appeared in his dreams for so long, yet he never imagined he would return to Peach Blossom Island one day.

After settling Lu Chengfeng in, Qu Lingfeng turned to look at Qiu Chuji. The old Taoist priest had an excellent appearance, and Qu Lingfeng took a second look at him.

"I had long heard that Master Changchun was the number one master in the Quanzhen Sect, and seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."

An attack is an attack. He openly admits it and doesn't think he's done anything wrong. This kind of temperament is quite straightforward and eye-opening.

"Old Taoist priest, I somewhat admire your character, but unfortunately, the Peach Blossom Island lineage has never bowed its head. Today, I'll have to experience that for myself."

He stopped adjusting his breathing, pointed with his double crutches, and floated directly towards Qiu Chuji. Then, while in mid-air, his double crutches moved in a crisscrossing pattern, and seven or eight streams of energy intertwined to form a net that pressed down on him.

Qu Lingfeng turned the perfectly good Splitting Palm into Splitting Crutch, and with the weight of the crutch itself, it became even more powerful than when he used the Splitting Palm.

Qiu Chuji laughed heartily, neither dodging nor avoiding, and still used the Dingyang Needle move, thrusting straight out. But the moment he made contact with the force of the splitting blade, his sword split into three sword shadows, instantly tearing apart the net of force in the air.

This move is called "One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones," which is an advanced application of the Quanzhen Sword Technique. Among the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, only Qiu Chuji could wield it with such ease.

Qu Lingfeng was not surprised at all. When Qiu Chuji became Wang Chongyang's disciple, he was not much younger than Wang Chongyang, at least more than twenty years older than Qu Lingfeng. Moreover, Qiu Chuji had been practicing Taoist techniques for many years, so in terms of skill level alone, he was definitely superior to Qu Lingfeng.

He no longer competed in internal strength, but instead relied on the weight and rigidity of his crutches to intimidate others, choosing to confront Qiu Chuji, who was wielding an ordinary longsword, head-on.

His lightness skill was once the best among the original Peach Blossom Island disciples. Now, with both legs crippled, he could still use his crutches for leverage. Despite his tall stature and the weight of his crutches, he moved like a giant butterfly, constantly attacking Qiu Chuji. Each strike was powerful and heavy, forcing Qiu Chuji to defend. Then, relying on his superior internal strength, Qiu Chuji managed to withstand the blows.

Qiu Chuji's attack was swift; with a single sword, his sword flashed and blocked Qu Lingfeng's two canes.

Wu Chengyu is now a master of martial arts, especially in his understanding of hidden meridians, which is unparalleled in the world.

Qu Lingfeng should now have received Huang Yaoshi's complete instruction, and all six hidden meridians in Peach Blossom Island's internal energy cultivation have been opened.

Hidden meridians are not visible from the outside, and even if internal energy is poured into the opponent's body, it is difficult to detect. However, Wu Chengyu knew the location of the three hidden meridians of Peach Blossom Island and could roughly deduce Qu Lingfeng's realm.

Peach Blossom Island's internal energy cultivation method is inferior to that of Taoist internal energy cultivation. However, Peach Blossom Island's six hidden meridians take a different approach. In terms of accumulating internal energy, they are only slightly inferior to Taoist internal energy cultivation. However, in terms of the speed of internal energy circulation and the free change of internal energy between moves, they are superior to Quanzhen internal energy cultivation.

Qu Lingfeng, as the eldest disciple of Peach Blossom Island, is second only to Feng Mofeng in talent. His greatest strength is his combat prowess. He has an extremely keen sense of smell in battle and can often exert twelve times the effect with ten times his strength.

He didn't try to outmaneuver Qiu Chuji with internal strength, but instead opted for a direct, head-on attack. His rapid attacks, combined with the Peach Blossom Island's signature varied techniques, forced Qiu Chuji to adopt a defensive stance for a time.

However, Wu Chengyu could tell that Qiu Chuji had not used his full strength. This guy said that it was normal to launch a sneak attack, but when it came to a one-on-one fight, he actually stood still and parried when he saw that Qu Lingfeng's legs were crippled, without using his lightness skill to gain an advantage.

Wu Chengyu had seen the old Taoist's lightness skill before; it was certainly not as good as his own, but it was no less than Qu Lingfeng's.

No matter how good Qu Lingfeng's lightness skill is now, his cane is not his legs after all. Therefore, once Qiu Chuji starts to move and fight, Qu Lingfeng will immediately be at a disadvantage.

Indeed, Qiu Chuji was a man who always held firm to his principles.

Among the Five Great Disciples, Qu Lingfeng and Qiu Chuji should be at the highest level. However, the biggest weakness is that they are missing two legs. Such a gap between masters of the same level is difficult to bridge. Qu Lingfeng is now a level below Qiu Chuji.

Although he made his own judgment, Wu Chengyu still did not want to interfere. Unless Qu Lingfeng directly killed one of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, Qiu Chuji and the others would not dare to kill Qu Lingfeng even if they had the greatest courage. Even if they had the Big Dipper, what if they really summoned Huang Yaoshi? They couldn't be together all the time.

So at most, Qu Lingfeng will suffer a defeat and some injuries, and Peach Blossom Island will lose face, but what does that have to do with Wu Chengyu?

Unfortunately, some of the Quanzhen Sect disciples present were not clear-headed. They could not see the secrets of the battle between Qu Lingfeng and Qiu Chuji. They only saw Qu Lingfeng constantly attacking Qiu Chuji while Qiu Chuji only defended, and they thought that Qiu Chuji was about to lose.

These Quanzhen Sect disciples exchanged glances, and while everyone else's attention was drawn to the two people in the arena, three of them suddenly drew their swords and rushed towards Feng Mofeng.

Qu Lingfeng was alarmed when he saw this, but there was no time to help.

　I wrote three chapters yesterday morning to make up for the ones from the day before, and four more in the afternoon. Including the deleted drafts, I wrote a total of more than 16,000 words yesterday. My family said my eyes were red.

　　One chapter left. I got up at 5 a.m. to write this, and I'm finally able to deliver today's five chapters on time. It's not very well written, but I really tried my best. Thank you all for your support.
