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

Chapter 266 Killing streak
At this moment, Chang She was chasing after Wu Chengyu's back, but no matter how fast he sped up, he was always just a hair's breadth behind Wu Chengyu. He was shocked. He was proud of his lightness skill and never thought that anyone could surpass him in this aspect.

Granny Ghost, on the other hand, reacted quickly. As soon as they clashed, she realized that Wu Chengyu's arm strength far exceeded her expectations. His steel cane bent instantly upon contact, and the other end was heading straight for her.

She instantly released her cane, stepped aside, and then reached down with both hands, instantly producing two daggers. She leaned forward, her small body seemingly about to pounce into Wu Chengyu's arms, the two daggers viciously thrusting straight into Wu Chengyu's chest.

Wu Chengyu felt the cane in his hand become lighter, knowing that the old woman had given up her weapon. So he stopped struggling with the cane and casually threw it at Chang She, who was still trying to outrun him.

Startled, Chang She quickly twisted his waist in mid-air to change direction and avoid the cane. At the same time, his face became even more sinister. He waved his hands forward continuously, sending more than a dozen hidden weapons flying towards Wu Chengyu.

These hidden weapons were all different, but they all gleamed with a bluish-black light, clearly indicating that they were highly poisonous.

Just then, the old woman was about to bump into Wu Chengyu. Wu Chengyu's speed was now no less than that of the legendary Guhua. The old woman's dagger was about to touch Wu Chengyu's clothes, but Wu Chengyu immediately grabbed both of her hands.

With a flick of her wrists, Wu Chengyu caused the pair of daggers to fall to the ground. Immediately afterward, Granny Gui realized that all the joints in her arms had been dislocated by the flick, and the dislocation continued upward until her arms were completely paralyzed and hung limply at her sides.

At this moment, she knew that she was no match for Wu Chengyu and that her life was hanging by a thread. While trying to get away from Wu Chengyu by pushing off the ground with her feet, she suddenly spat out a date pit nail that shot into Wu Chengyu's throat.

Wu Chengyu was taken aback. Could it be that Qiu Qianchi learned the jujube pit nail technique from this old lady? It was indeed difficult to react at such close range.

However, Wu Chengyu had now reached the threshold of keen observation. From the moment the old woman inhaled, her mouth seemed to move slightly, and she finally exhaled, he could tell what she was going to do and was on guard. He dodged at the last second, and the date pit nail grazed his ear.

Unexpectedly, this old woman seemed to have more than one date pit nail in her mouth, which made her even more like Qiu Qianchi later on. This time, Wu Chengyu reacted even faster, grabbing the old woman's chin first and forcibly closing her mouth. The old woman let out a muffled groan, her mouth full of blood.

At this moment, Chang She's hidden weapons were not far away. Wu Chengyu poured his internal energy into his hands, and the old woman immediately lost control of her body. She was grabbed by Wu Chengyu and swung backward. All of Chang She's hidden weapons hit the old woman.

When Chang She saw the old woman die before his eyes, he was terrified and quickly retreated, throwing out hidden weapons repeatedly to try to create distance.

Wu Chengyu was not about to let him leave so easily. Just as he was about to give chase, powerful forces attacked from both sides.

On one side was a giant demon-subduing pestle from a barbarian elephant, which came crashing down on Wu Chengyu. Wu Chengyu had no choice but to dodge it, as this barbarian elephant was definitely born with superhuman strength.

In a low-level martial arts world, even if one has mastered the Body of Horizontal Strength, one can at most defend against sharp blades and knives. The most feared thing is being hit by such heavy weapons. Even Wu Chengyu would not dare to easily take a direct hit.

On the other side was a palm strike, powerful and vigorous. Wu Chengyu was very familiar with this palm strike, which was clearly the "War Dragon in the Wild" from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. The palm strike was a mix of real and feint, with both palms striking at the same time, making it impossible to tell which palm was the real one.

The one who used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms was an old man dressed like a wealthy merchant with a sinister face. He had been standing silently by the side while those people were commenting on Wu Chengyu, but when he made his move, it was a deadly technique.

Wu Chengyu also knew the old man's background. His surname was Chi, and he was originally an elder of the Clean Clothes Sect of the Beggars' Clan. A few years ago, someone in the Beggars' Clan was caught harvesting and mutilating people. After being discovered by Hong Qigong, he was severely punished. Later, following the clues, he found the upper echelons of the Beggars' Clan.

Elder Chi was quite clever. Realizing Hong Qigong suspected him, he immediately cut his losses and fled overnight, eventually reaching the territory of the Jin Kingdom. However, the Beggars' Clan kept a kill order on him, and he vanished without a trace, apparently hidden by Jin spies. In his youth, he had rendered many merits, and Hong Qigong rewarded him with four of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. It is said he mastered them to perfection, making him one of the most skilled martial artists among the Beggars' Clan elders.

However, the same martial arts technique had completely different effects in the hands of Hong Qigong and in the hands of this guy. Wu Chengyu couldn't see through Hong Qigong's Zhanlong Yuye at all and could only dodge in a sorry state. But in Wu Chengyu's eyes, this guy's Zhanlong Yuye was quite mechanical and completely traceable.

The greatest secret of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms lies in the ability to change force at will, which is why it is precisely the counter to the Shifting Stars technique. However, Wu Chengyu saw through this guy's force changes at a glance, and now Wu Chengyu can finally use the Shifting Stars technique to deal with the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Wu Chengyu feinted with his left hand, and an invisible force field immediately enveloped Elder Chi's palms, instantly neutralizing the change in the opponent's force.

Elder Chi felt his palms were out of control; one palm struck him, while the other struck the giant demon-subduing pestle of the barbarian elephant.

His expression changed, and he quickly channeled his inner strength into his palms, trying to regain control of them.

Unfortunately, his internal strength was inferior to Wu Chengyu's. Once Wu Chengyu grasped his true strength, how could he possibly break free?

Wu Chengyu took another step towards the Beggar Clan traitor, his invisible force field enveloping the man, and then he suddenly exerted his power.

Elder Chi slapped his chest with his left hand. Even though he tried his best to withdraw his power, he was still struck by the palm and coughed up blood. At the same time, his other hand inevitably struck the Great Demon-Subduing Pestle, and his entire palm was smashed to pieces.

Elder Chi let out a miserable scream on the spot, unable to stand up any longer. He staggered backward and was about to fall to the ground when Wu Chengyu suddenly appeared behind him and gently supported him.

"I heard you're a traitor to the Beggars' Sect, and that you used to practice necrosis and mutilation. I'll let you in on a secret: I was the one who exposed this evil deed to Master Qi. We have quite a connection."

"Let me clean house for Seventh Master today. I'm not doing it anyway; my sister might do it next time, so why bother?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Chi felt his body completely stiffen and become uncontrollable. Then, he was held in Wu Chengyu's hand like a straw stick. He was horrified to find that the barbarian elephant had already charged over with the Great Demon-Subduing Pestle.

He himself became a weapon in Wu Chengyu's hands, wielding it to clash head-on with the giant demon-subduing pestle of the barbarian elephant.

With just a few cracking sounds of bones breaking, Elder Chi didn't even have time to scream before his body was shattered by the Great Demon-Subduing Pestle.

Wu Chengyu shook his head. His flesh and blood body was indeed useless. After only two exchanges, he only had Elder Chi's leg left in his hands.

Fortunately, thanks to the invisible force field of the shifting stars, he was spared from getting the traitor's blood on him.
