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

Chapter 264 Forced Killing
Even the wisest can make a mistake. Wu Chengyu dared not call himself a wise man, but he had already planned every move for this sneak attack on Qiu Qianren today, all for the sake of at least seriously injuring Qiu Qianren at the last moment.

This trip to Chang'an has been very fruitful, especially finding the three bandits, Guzhenfeng, and avenging his father's death.

But this was supposed to be the perfect Eeding attempt, which unexpectedly faltered.

Wu Chengyu used a substitution tactic, while his opponent used a deceptive trick. Of course, this trick was not aimed at Wu Chengyu; it was clearly Qiu Qianzhang playing a trick on Heshi Lie Liangping. But Wu Chengyu fell for it anyway.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not entirely unexpected that Wu Chengyu fell victim to the trap.

First, there's Qiu Qianzhang, that old scoundrel. Although his martial arts skills are low and his character is even worse, he has spent his whole life impersonating Qiu Qianren. He has long been a master at imitating his second brother, capturing both his appearance and spirit perfectly.

In the original novel, Qiu Qianzhang's first appearance was at Lu Chengfeng's Guiyun Manor.

Lu Chengfeng was, after all, Huang Yaoshi's disciple and had witnessed the grandeur of a master like the Five Greats.

The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan were experienced in the martial arts world, especially Zhu Cong, the Master of Skills, who was cunning and had seen many tricks of the trade.

Then there's Huang Rong, the smartest character in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. She's clever and quick-witted, and she's never lost out when it comes to outsmarting others.

However, all of these people were completely fooled by Qiu Qianzhang. If Huang Yaoshi hadn't been there, and if Qiu Qianzhang hadn't underestimated the young Guo Jing, knowing full well that his martial arts were inferior, he still dared to fight Guo Jing. As a result, he encountered the missing three of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and suffered a setback on the spot.

Otherwise, Qiu Qianzhang would have really outsmarted him that time, and he almost succeeded.

Wu Chengyu had known about Qiu Qianzhang for a long time, but how many people who had read the original work in later generations respected him? Everyone regarded him as a scoundrel.

Therefore, when Wu Chengyu was considering how to deal with Qiu Qianren, such a person never came to mind. The reason was simple: this guy posed no threat to Wu Chengyu at all; he was a big liar. So Wu Chengyu subconsciously ignored this fact.

Even when Wu Chengyu controlled Qiu Qianchi's subconscious, he would always follow Qiu Qianchi's tone and talk about her brothers when trying to get information out of her, completely forgetting that she had two brothers.

Given the ambiguity of the question, Qiu Qianchi subconsciously referred to Qiu Qianzhang as her elder brother, since it was impossible for her not to distinguish between her eldest and second brothers, yet she deliberately failed to make it clear.

In short, a single unconscious oversight caused Wu Chengyu to fail instantly.

After confirming that the person in front of him was not Qiu Qianzhang, Wu Chengyu immediately opened the 3D map to observe the situation within a hundred meters. When he suddenly made his move, all the guards around him were stunned.

After all, he was still using the face of Heishi Lie Liangping, and his subordinates didn't know why their leader had suddenly made a move.

If Qiu Qianren were nearby at that moment, he would have rushed out to attack him immediately.

But in the end, everyone stood there blankly, and the real Qiu Qianren did not appear.

Wu Chengyu suddenly had an idea. So the real Iron Palm Water-Walking never came to Chang'an. It was all Qiu Qianzhang's doing, using his brother's identity to negotiate with the Jin people for benefits.
It seems not impossible. Qiu Qianzhang must have done similar things many times before, so there must be flaws, but people often don't think of them.

Opportunities are always fleeting. Wu Chengyu paused for a moment to think, which inevitably caused him to stop after making his move, giving others time to react.

The first to act was Heishi Lie Liangping's fourth confidant, who was initially also surprised as to why the leader was taking action against Qiu Qianren. At present, the two sides were cooperating, and whether for immediate interests or future collusion, Heishi Lie Liangping had no reason to act.

Most importantly, he knew very well about Heshi Lie Liangping's martial arts skills. No matter what, Heshi Lie Liangping could not kill Qiu Qianren, or he could not kill Qiu Qianzhang.

Then there's only one possibility: "You're not the leader, so who are you? Guards, catch the assassin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards around him immediately drew their swords and attacked. The experts who had been lying in ambush earlier also came out in response.

At this point, Wu Chengyu no longer concealed his identity. His face slowly changed, transforming into Lei Datou's appearance. First, he unleashed a Canhe Finger strike, striking Number Four's forehead with a burst of air energy, causing his brains to splatter.

Then the guards around him rushed forward. This time, Wu Chengyu used heavy-handed techniques and showed no mercy. He unleashed the Great Subduing Demon Fist, shattering the sternum of one of the guards, who flew back a distance of ten feet.

With his other hand, he used the Nine Yin Divine Claw to pierce through the skull of another person. In short, when facing an encirclement, one must not hesitate and fight one person at a time, ensuring that every move is fatal. Then he quickly flashed out of the small encirclement and broke through to the outside of the council hall.

As soon as he stepped out of the council hall, he was met with a hail of arrows. Wu Chengyu immediately used the "Shifting Stars" technique. His skill was now even greater than when he first arrived at Chongyang Palace. He could no longer simply keep the arrows in mid-air, but could return some of the arrows to their original positions.

At least half of the arrows fired by hundreds of archers in an instant turned sharply in the air and shot towards their masters. Those archers were caught off guard and fell to the ground with screams. Some of the arrows flew around like headless flies.

The encirclement that had just been formed was disrupted again, making it impossible to close in.

Wu Chengyu was about to strike again, but unexpectedly three arrows suddenly shot out. They were extremely fast and carried strong internal force, even breaking through the force field of the Star Shifting Technique. This kind of archery technique immediately reminded Wu Chengyu of Puchalieshi in Langdang Ridge.

Back then, Wu Chengyu was wounded in the left leg by an arrow from Puchalieshi and almost fell into a desperate situation, but the current Wu Chengyu is not the same as before. He used three consecutive fingers, and the energy of the Canhe Finger struck the arrow squarely.

The internal force covering the arrows collided with the force of the Canhe Finger, and the three arrows exploded in mid-air.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Chengyu created a clone that caused chaos in the encirclement. His real body, after leaving a trail of afterimages and shattering several arrows, rushed to the side of the archer who had just fired the arrow.

When facing numerous experts and outnumbered, the biggest fear is having a sharpshooter ready to ambush you at any moment. Having learned from his mistakes, Wu Chengyu chose to eliminate this obstacle immediately.

The archer had no intention of fighting Wu Chengyu this time and turned to run away. Wu Chengyu stretched out his right hand and used the Nine Yin Divine Claw. This skill, when mastered, has the effect of controlling cranes and capturing dragons. He actually grabbed the archer's body and pulled him back.

With a snap, Wu Chengyu's hand grabbed the archer's neck, and the archer's neck bone broke instantly.

After this series of exchanges, all the experts stationed at the Great Ci'en Temple came out in full force, surrounding Wu Chengyu completely, each one exuding a chilling killing intent.

Wu Chengyu stood in the center of the encirclement, fearless; it had been a long time since he had gone on a killing spree.

　I'm tentatively planning to update twice today, but I might add an extra update at noon. I've been updating five times a day for over a month, writing 10,000 words every day, and my brain is basically exhausted. I'm just too tired. Every day I wake up 10,000 words behind someone, writing from morning till night, without a break for the entire month. The pressure is just too much.

　　Moreover, I've recently realized that there are problems with my writing. I didn't clearly state the main plot at the beginning, which made it difficult to continue. The more I wrote, the harder it became. So I need to think carefully and make some adjustments. I hope everyone can understand.
