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

Chapter 339: Powerful Kill
Tonight, Wu Chengyu felt somewhat frustrated. The guys surrounding him were aggressive and seemed determined to take him down. They didn't seem to think Wu Chengyu had any ability to resist and just kept attacking him, as if it were perfectly normal for the strong to bully the weak.

Wu Chengyu, however, had to conceal his strength, pretending to barely manage to maneuver among these people, using his lightness skill to create a slight distance, as if he could be captured by the other party at any moment, but always narrowly avoiding it.

Wu Chengyu unleashed a flurry of kicks like a storm, forcing his opponent back. Just as he reached the street corner, someone suddenly burst out of a window on the second floor of a closed restaurant next door, wielding a sharp blade and forcefully slashing at Wu Chengyu's head from above.

Wu Chengyu dodged with a quick movement, but the man continued to pursue with his knife. His speed was no slower than Wu Chengyu's, or at least not slower than the speed Wu Chengyu was currently displaying. Moreover, he was faster, clearly a swordsman skilled in fast-firing techniques.

Wu Chengyu feigned defeat and used the fastest move of his Gale Leg Technique to dodge rapidly. At the same time, he suddenly had an idea and lured the swordsman to the side of the other attackers. Sure enough, those people also attacked the swordsman.

As expected, they were two different groups of people. When the swordsman broke through the window, the people around him were clearly startled and became more vigilant. Moreover, it seemed that these people all knew who the swordsman was.
Under Wu Chengyu's guidance, the swordsman exchanged a few blows with the others before immediately stopping. He wanted to continue pursuing Wu Chengyu, but Wu Chengyu had already created distance, and his fast sword was no longer a threat to Wu Chengyu.

Moreover, the swordsman is an enemy, not a friend, and even though the target tonight is Wu Chengyu, how can they cooperate? They seem to be more wary of each other.

For a time, the three parties were in a stalemate. Wu Chengyu was skilled in lightness skills, and no one could defeat him quickly. The other two parties were wary of each other and dared not go all out.

Wu Chengyu now knew the other party's identity. A few days ago, when he was drinking and bragging with Chen He, this guy mentioned the two Class A retainers who had been taken away by other guilds.

One of them should be the fake monk who just used the Vajra Palm. He is said to be called Tongming. He is proficient in drinking, eating meat, gambling, and playing with women. Moreover, he has a violent personality and will fight with other worshippers at the Yangwu Guild Hall if there is any disagreement.

This guy came from the Western Regions and was recruited by Yangwu Guild with a large sum of money, but he was unruly. Later, he was attracted by Ronghua Guild with an even higher price and left without saying a word, which made Princess Yuzhu so angry that she almost rushed to Ronghua Guild and slapped him to death.

This guy just exchanged a full-force blow with Wu Chengyu, and Wu Chengyu immediately recognized his identity.

It is indeed the Vajra Palm technique used, but it is somewhat ambiguous.

The Great Vajra Palm of Shaolin Temple is not something that just anyone can master. It's considered good if one monk in each generation can achieve mastery. This unique skill truly requires both internal and external cultivation, and demands extremely high levels of internal strength and mental acuity.

The Great Vajra Palm that Tongming just used was equally fierce and had amazing destructive power. It also contained internal force, but the internal force was only average, and it was basically an external skill.

Although this cultivation method distorts the true meaning of the Great Vajra Palm, it is still a unique approach, but it is extremely harmful to the practitioner's body.

Even with a strong body and miraculous healing medicine, it's likely that only one person out of dozens of people cultivating at the same time will succeed, while the rest will probably all be crippled.

In the world of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, it seems that only the Fire-Worker Monk who defected to the Western Regions could do this. This person can be considered a genius. He was able to tamper with Shaolin's secret techniques by simply stealing them and not knowing the internal energy circulation path. He can be considered a hero of his generation.

Therefore, this Tongming should be a member of the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions, which is very close to the Western Xia. It is quite normal for someone to be greedy for wealth and status and join the Western Xia.

I wonder where that Fire-Worker Monk is now. Judging by his age, he might not be dead yet.

The other swordsman was named Baili Wuyi. He was also a first-class retainer of the Yangwu Guild. He was famous in Xixia for his fast sword skills and was skilled in assassination. He was ruthless and decisive. In the past, he had done a lot of dirty work for the Yangwu Guild.

This man usually keeps to himself and doesn't communicate with others. No one knows the origin of his martial arts skills, but he is a fine swordsman at the Yangwu Martial Arts Association.

Previously, among the three major martial arts schools in Xingqing Prefecture, apart from the top experts of the schools themselves, there were really few ordinary members who could defeat these two. At that time, Yangwu Martial Arts School was very arrogant.

However, just a few days after the two retainers decided to compete for control of Yipintang, they were both poached by others.

The ruthless and domineering Tongming entered the Ronghua Guild Hall, while the silent and bloodthirsty Baili Wuyi gained the favor of the Tieyi Guild Hall and was also poached. Before Wu Chengyu arrived, Princess Yuzhu's side was completely at a disadvantage.

Tonight, Ronghua Club plans to ambush and kill Wu Chengyu, eliminating this newly emerged expert from Yangwu Club. Tieyi Club has also sent Baili Wuyi to wait for an opportunity to strike.

Wu Chengyu initially thought that the purpose of Yangwu Guild Hall tonight was to use him as bait to lure out these two traitors and kill them.

While being besieged, Wu Chengyu had been using a 3D model to observe the surrounding situation. Now, there were more than one group of forces lying in ambush nearby, but they were all far away and remained motionless. Wu Chengyu couldn't tell which side they belonged to for the time being.

Baili Wuyi was the closest to him and his attention was entirely on him. He was full of murderous intent and was also the most impatient. Wu Chengyu deliberately walked into his ambush area and created an opening to lure him down.

After Wu Chengyu lured out these two pre-selected targets, the bait should have served its purpose tonight. Next, the experts from Yangwu Guild should suddenly appear to eliminate these two traitors.

However, after a few breaths of standoff, the two hidden forces in his 3D diagram remained motionless, as if they intended to let Wu Chengyu be surrounded and killed there. Wu Chengyu now realized that he had misjudged the situation, or rather, Tongming and Baili Wuyi were probably not as important as he had imagined. It seemed that tonight's target was not them, and he wondered what the other side was waiting for.

However, Wu Chengyu himself didn't want to wait any longer. Being used as bait was already unpleasant enough, let alone being abandoned like a pawn.

Wu Chengyu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly used the Wind Rises and Clouds Fly, rushing towards Baili Wuyi as if he wanted to kill this lone person who was just like him.

Just as Baili Wuyi was fully on guard and preparing to fight Wu Chengyu, he saw Wu Chengyu's figure suddenly blur and disappear from his sight, then appear in front of the fake monk Tongming.

Tongming's exchange of blows with Wu Chengyu was a head-on collision. His Vajra Palm technique is adept at bullying the weak, and he would immediately suffer a loss against someone who dared to fight him head-on and could withstand his strong attacks without being defeated.

The reason for this is that the internal force circulation path of the Great Vajra Palm was created by the Fire-Worker Monk, and it is far inferior to the real Great Vajra Palm.

Internal energy can not only be used to injure enemies, but more importantly, it can be used to protect oneself and prevent the opponent's internal energy from entering the body.

The Vajra Palm of the Vajra Sect is most afraid of this. If a head-on collision fails and the opponent is skilled in internal energy, then the practitioner will inevitably be injured by the opponent's internal force.

Tongming was kicked away by Wu Chengyu. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and his blood surged. He lay on the ground for more than ten breaths before he could barely stand up.

This man was violent and his injuries only fueled his ferocity. He took the lead in attacking Wu Chengyu, completely disregarding his wounded body, and unleashed a series of palm strikes at Wu Chengyu while cursing angrily.

In Wu Chengyu's eyes, such a person was already courting death, so Wu Chengyu immediately disregarded everyone else and targeted Tongming first.

With Wu Chengyu's martial arts skills, he could have known Tongming's situation with just one move. The Great Vajra Palm likes to fight head-on, but it also fears head-on collisions. Once it encounters something harder, it will suffer severe damage.

Wu Chengyu is now using about 40% of his internal energy, which is roughly equivalent to the level he used when he fought Princess Yuzhu in a direct confrontation.

However, his physical strength increased by 20%, so 50% of his physical strength means that each move has the force of 500 jin.

While enhancing his internal energy, he also used the technique of "Wind and Sun" to penetrate the enemy's body with his internal energy.

Wu Chengyu immediately unleashed a swift and powerful attack, the most dense and rapid of all the attacks in the Gale Leg Technique, which enveloped Tongming completely.

Tongming is indeed a bold and reckless person. He is completely unafraid now, roaring and using his full strength to unleash the Great Vajra Palm, still choosing to confront Wu Chengyu head-on.

Unfortunately, this time, Wu Chengyu's physical strength alone was enough to overwhelm him. Moreover, Wu Chengyu's internal energy slowly seeped into his body with each punch and kick, and his faction was basically helpless against the invasion of internal energy.

After only three or four exchanges, Tongming's expression changed drastically. His arms had already fractured under Wu Chengyu's immense strength, and if he were to take another blow head-on, they might break completely. At the same time, three or four streams of internal energy were surging wildly within his body, like a red-hot knife cutting into butter, leaving him utterly defenseless.

At this moment, even the most ferocious Tongming knew that his life was in danger. He once again used the Double Strike Palm technique from the Great Vajra Palm to try to force Wu Chengyu back. He turned to run away, but Wu Chengyu would not let him go. He directly used the same swift and decisive move that he had used when facing Yang Ge Tianjun.

With two sharp cracks, Tongming's arms snapped on the spot. He coughed up blood and staggered back several steps, shouting, "Ancestor, save me!"

Wu Chengyu seemed not to hear. He quickly followed, raised his right leg high, and chopped down on Tongming's crown chakra like a battle axe, smashing Tongming's six yang heads to pieces.

The whole process was extremely fast; the others didn't even have time to surround him before Tongming was forcefully killed by Wu Chengyu.

Tongming's martial arts skills are among the best of these people. Unless one is a master of internal energy and cannot withstand his powerful attacks, most people would be hesitant and temporarily avoid his sharp edge when they encounter Tongming.

No one could have imagined that Tongming would die so quickly under Wu Chengyu's legs, without even being able to fight back.

Among those who had been lurking in the shadows, one unexpectedly found himself unable to contain himself any longer after Tongming's dying cry of "Ancestor, save me!"

"How dare you! Give me back my disciple's life!"
