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

Chapter 269 The song ends and everyone disperses
After a muffled thud, Wu Chengyu staggered back several steps, first taking a deep breath, and then subconsciously shaking his arm. There were several bruises on his right arm joints. He never expected that even with his strong bones and muscles, and with absolute certainty of victory, he would still be injured.

The barbarian elephant opposite him did not retreat an inch, standing still without changing his expression, staring intently at Wu Chengyu.

Wu Chengyu returned the gaze, inwardly lamenting that he had underestimated the heroes of the world. This barbarian was definitely not as simple as he appeared; beneath his brute exterior lay a cunning mind. His earlier attack had clearly been a calculated move.

"What level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill have you reached?"

Manxiang's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect that there would be Han people who know about the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill."

I started practicing martial arts at the age of eight, and at forty-eight years old this year, I have reached the eighth level, possessing a strength of eight hundred jin.

In addition, I was born with superhuman strength, and after adulthood I had the strength of 500 jin.

I thought that the combined strength of the two of us, 1,300 jin, would be enough to severely injure you in one move, but I still lost.

Your strength plus your inner power is still superior to mine. My defeat today is not unjust, nor is my death.

Wu Chengyu hadn't expected that his opponent was practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. The two hadn't actually fought just now, otherwise he would have recognized it.

To be able to reach the eighth level in forty years, this guy is indeed a remarkable individual.

Fortunately, after his transformation, Wu Chengyu possessed a strength of 1,000 jin, equivalent to the tenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. Combined with the powerful strength of his Quanxing Nameless Divine Skill, or rather, the real-life version of the Innate Skill, the two combined were enough to suppress the opponent's strength.

If it were anyone else, even one of the Five Greats, they would surely suffer a loss if they didn't know the opponent's background.

The elephant may appear to be standing still, but it is only clinging to life and poses no threat whatsoever.

Wu Chengyu casually walked to his side, first showing a slightly embarrassed smile, then reaching out his hands to grope the elephant all over.

"Han people, what are you trying to do? A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. These are the words of you Han people."

"You're thick-skinned and ugly, so I'm not interested. I once obtained the manual for the first five levels of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique. Although I didn't practice it, I still feel a bit regretful that it wasn't the complete version."

Since you have reached the eighth level and still have the potential to continue, it seems that the opportunity to obtain the complete Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill has now fallen to you.

Sure enough, here it is! It really is the complete version, thirteen levels in total. However, the last three levels are in Sanskrit. But that's okay, I'm just using it as a reference. Someone once went crazy practicing the last three levels, so I suspect there are serious problems. Reaching the tenth level would be considered complete.

Manxiang never expected it to end like this. The first five levels of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique could be found in the Western Regions with some effort, but the secret manual for the last three levels, which he was carrying, was not something that non-core disciples could possess. He had only carried it with him because he was about to break through to the ninth level, but who would have thought that it would benefit Wu Chengyu.

Wu Chengyu only glanced through it before putting the manual into his pocket. The gains from this trip to Chang'an were too great, and this manual was the final dessert.

He patted Manxiang on the shoulder to express his gratitude, completely ignoring Manxiang's foul-mouthed gaze, and quietly walked past Manxiang.

The last breath of the barbarian elephant dissipated immediately because of Wu Chengyu's act of plundering the secret manuals. Apart from endless regret, his body could no longer hold on.

Next, blood began to flow from his seven orifices, and the sound of bones breaking began to appear continuously on his body, along with sounds similar to a bowstring snapping and rushing water.

Finally, the elephant's body exploded, leaving behind only countless pus, blood, broken bones, and internal organs. Wu Chengyu, having accomplished his task, was about to leave when he heard a furious roar behind him.

"Who are you? Why did you kill my brother? What did you do to me?"

Wu Chengyu then turned around, clicked his tongue, and seemed to have really forgotten about Qiu Qianchi.

"You don't need to ask who I am. I did do something to you, but it seems you're fully awake now."

As for Qiu Qianzhang, I originally intended to ambush Qiu Qianren, but who knew you would play the same trick as me? I miscalculated.

Qiu Qianzhang was just unlucky; actually, I was even more unlucky. I put in so much effort, and in the end, I only killed a scoundrel.

"You!" Qiu Qianchi was so angry that her three corpses jumped up and down, and she immediately prepared to fight Wu Chengyu to the death.

Wu Chengyu took a step back, waved his hand and said, "I've killed enough people today, and you haven't done anything heinous. Being love-struck, obsessed with looks, and fond of forcibly taking men is at least more forgivable than forcibly taking women. I don't want to kill you now."

After saying this, Wu Chengyu's face turned cold, and he said, "However, if you insist on making a move, I will absolutely not show you any mercy. With your martial arts skills, you can't withstand even one of my palm strikes."

Qiu Qianchi did want to fight to the death, but she calmed down after hearing Wu Chengyu's words. She knew that she was no match for Wu Chengyu, and that he was ruthless. If he said he would kill her, he would definitely kill her.

Most importantly, Qiu Qianchi still can't figure out how Wu Chengyu controlled her; this unknown is the most terrifying thing.

She even had a feeling that if Wu Chengyu quoted Confucius and Mencius to her again, she didn't know what she would do.

In short, Qiu Qianchi's fear of Wu Chengyu has now penetrated to the very core of her being, and she doesn't want to see Wu Chengyu for even a moment longer.

"I can't beat you, but my second brother won't let you get away with it."

"Chen Guanxi, I'll remember you. From now on, I will avenge the blood feud between you and my Qiu family, and I will curse you to a terrible death day and night."

"I know, I know. You can squat at the alley entrance every midnight and beat up villains. As for Qiu Qianren, I'll wait for him to come to me."

Or you could tell him to stay on Iron Palm Peak and not go anywhere. After all, I'm unpredictable and hard to find. Don't worry, I'll find him someday; I still have a score to settle with him."

As Wu Chengyu spoke, he turned and left the Great Ci'en Temple. All the monks in the temple hid, and he also felt many eyes hidden in the shadows, most of which were filled with fear. However, he did not care and casually used his lightness skill to leave the place.

As Qiu Qianchi watched Wu Chengyu's figure disappear, her face turned pale and then red. She still didn't know which one was the real Wu Chengyu—the handsome young man from before or the dejected young man in front of her—or whether the name Chen Guanxi was a complete fabrication.

After a while, Qiu Qianchi hurriedly carried Qiu Qianzhang's body away from there. When the Jin soldiers arrived, there were many things she couldn't explain.

After completing his mission, Wu Chengyu did not linger. There was nothing left in Chang'an City worth staying for. He quickly left Chang'an and headed towards Zhongnan Mountain.
