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

Chapter 342 Timely Rescue
With three loud clangs, like the tolling of a temple bell, the bronze lion was shattered into pieces by the Fire-Worker Monk's final three blows.

Wu Chengyu turned his head in time and saw a figure rapidly approaching. Judging from the figure, it could only be the supreme general Princess Yuzhu. She used all her strength to save Wu Qianyu. This bronze lion was not big, but it weighed at least several hundred kilograms.

Princess Yuzhu may not have Wu Chengyu's immense strength, but her innate physique is extraordinary, with a body full of super male hormones, plus the fierce power of the Supreme Pure Yang Skill.

She managed to throw the bronze lion over just in time. At the same time, her body paused in mid-air. After throwing the heavy object with all her might, she was in a situation where the initial force had just gone out and the subsequent force had not yet been generated.

Just then, a dark shadow shot towards Princess Yuzhu from behind with a whistling sound. It was fast and had great impact, and the timing was perfect. Princess Yuzhu was caught off guard and had no time to dodge.

The schemers in the world always have their own tricks, but in reality, these tricks are all worthless. The only difference is whether they appear at the right time and whether they catch people off guard.

The Yangwu Guild Hall plays a game of cat and mouse, where the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Wu Chengyu is a cicada, Huogong Toutuo is a mantis, and Wu Qianyu naturally thinks he is a sparrow.

Unfortunately, this oriole underestimated the Fire-Worker Monk. He didn't know what trump cards a top expert had, nor did he know how unstoppable a top expert's counterattack was before death. It seemed that the oriole was about to have its throat cut by the mantis's knife.

So the final result was that Princess Yuzhu was forced to show herself to save Wu Qianyu, and they were already not far from Yangwu Guild Hall.

With such a momentous event tonight, Princess Yuzhu naturally couldn't hide in the guild hall waiting for news. She was a valiant general who could win battles from afar, not a strategist who planned everything from behind closed doors.

In the end, Princess Yuzhu intervened in time to save Wu Qianyu, but the hunter finally found an opportunity to strike.

No one expected this, and no one dared to imagine that someone would disregard Princess Yuzhu's status and actually attack her. This was simply defying the world and going against the will of Heaven.

To launch a sneak attack on the emperor's favorite princess within the territory of Western Xia was an act of extreme audacity, comparable to Wu Chengyu's assassination attempt on Shi Miyuan.

But at that time, Wu Chengyu was acting out of a fit of rage, and blood was spilled five steps away. He was a chivalrous man who broke the law with his martial arts. After killing Shi Miyuan, he could just run away. The world was vast and the emperor of Song could not do anything about him.

The current situation in Western Xia is that three princes are vying for the throne. They can frame each other and plot against each other, but if they directly break off relations with a prince or princess and kill them, they will cross the line. Even the emperor will not let them off the hook. Assassination is simply the worst possible strategy.

Therefore, no one thought about what would happen to Princess Yuzhu, and Princess Yuzhu was no exception, so she had no time to prepare.

At this moment, only Wu Chengyu knew what had happened, because the guy who suddenly made a move had been hiding dozens of meters away from Wu Chengyu. As long as someone was within a hundred meters and had not reached the Microscopic Realm, they could not escape Wu Chengyu's perception.

The only difference is that Wu Chengyu doesn't know which side he's on or what he's up to. But for Wu Chengyu, he doesn't care what you're doing, since he came to Western Xia with ulterior motives.

Even if this guy was a hunter, Wu Chengyu thought he was going to assassinate Wu Qianyu. The Fire-Worker Monk would surely die from the poison, and if Wu Qianyu died, the beneficiary would be obvious—the Iron Wing Guild.

But Wu Chengyu didn't expect that this guy, as a hunter, would target Princess Yuzhu. Now Wu Chengyu had no choice but to intervene.

Princess Yuzhu, who possesses the Supreme Pure Yang Skill and inherits the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect, absolutely cannot die now. Otherwise, where will Wu Chengyu find the clues to those martial arts and the secrets of the current state of the Tianshan Lingjiu Palace?

He is currently more than 20 meters away from Princess Yuzhu. Even if he reveals all his lightness skills, it will be too late. Then he will not be the world's number one lightness skill master, but directly become the Flash. Therefore, the only way to save Princess Yuzhu is...

Two more beams of light appeared in the sky, faintly emitting a dark gold hue in the darkness. Unlike the shadow that shot towards Princess Yuzhu, these two beams of light were faster, yet completely silent, merely flashing lightly across the sky.

The dark shadow crossed paths with the two beams of light, making a soft metallic scraping sound, before being split into three pieces, the middle and rear sections immediately falling to the ground.

Only the very beginning of the journey was not yet finished, but it was also swayed by the high-speed rotation of light and shadow, just barely grazing Princess Jade Pearl, and then heavily burrowing into the bluestone slab on the ground.

At this moment, it was suddenly discovered that the dark shadow was actually a short black spear, which was quite heavy. Generally, those who use such short spears to throw are not ordinary martial arts practitioners, but more likely to be from the military.

The two figures were naturally Wu Chengyu's Black and White Impermanence. After cutting the short spear, they flew into the sky, then turned in the air and flew back into Wu Chengyu's hand.

As for the person who threw the short spear, he was extremely decisive. After the attack, he didn't even look at the final result and didn't care whether Princess Yuzhu was hit. He immediately turned around and ran away.

After running for several dozen meters, a black horse suddenly appeared from the side. The man leaped onto the horse and whipped it several times. The black horse was extremely fast and disappeared into the night like a flash.

Princess Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the danger to her life had passed, and then shouted in shock and anger, "Chase!" The people in Yangwu Guild Hall immediately gave chase to the assassin, but the assassin turned around on his horse and threw several short spears in succession, forcing everyone to dodge in time.

Still determined to show off, Wu Chengyu then unleashed the Black and White Impermanence, knocking down all the short spears.

In this way, no one could continue to pursue the assassin. Wu Chengyu could, but his performance today was already good enough, and there was no need to expose himself further. Just now, in order to save Princess Yuzhu, he used the Black and White Impermanence, which already revealed a lot of his strength.

Seeing the assassin escape, Princess Yuzhu was so angry that she kicked several of her subordinates to the ground. At the same time, she turned her head to look at Wu Chengyu, said nothing, but her eyes showed approval and a hint of gratitude.

She knew her own limitations. That sneak attack might not have killed her, but serious injury was inevitable. If that happened, her side would surely suffer a crushing defeat in the arena match a few days later. Even as a princess, she could not afford such a loss.

However, now is not the time to reward merits. Princess Yuzhu quickly took a few steps and helped Wu Qianyu, who was still slumped on the ground, up.

"Junior brother, how are you?"

"Senior sister, I'm alright. This Fire-Worker Monk is indeed a top expert. Who would have thought that he could still fight back even when he was poisoned? Fortunately, senior sister intervened in time to save me, otherwise his last three blows would have surely killed me."

Although we have mastered divine skills, we have still underestimated the heroes of the world.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Qianyu looked at Huo Gong Toutuo with lingering fear. At this moment, the old demon had exhausted all his power with the last nine palm strikes and could no longer resist the poison in his body. His last breath finally dissipated, and although blood was flowing from his seven orifices, he still stood up.

At the same time, Wu Qianyu turned to look at Wu Chengyu, who was standing aside seemingly indifferent. He gritted his teeth inwardly. At the last moment, when he looked to Wu Chengyu for help, Wu Chengyu's expression really stung him. Not only did Wu Chengyu not help him, but he even seemed to be watching the show with amusement, as if he wished Wu Qianyu dead.

However, it was only a moment ago, and Wu Qianyu didn't even have time to call for help. No one noticed Wu Chengyu's expression except for him, which made it impossible for Wu Qianyu to make a move.

Moreover, it was Wu Chengyu who saved Princess Yuzhu at the critical moment. He only had merit and no fault, so he couldn't do anything about Wu Chengyu for the time being. However, Wu Qianyu also kept Wu Chengyu in her heart.

He had always regarded Wu Chengyu as an ant, and this time he used Wu Chengyu as bait to put him in a dangerous place. From beginning to end, even if Huogong Toutuo did not take action, he never thought of saving Wu Chengyu. Who would have thought that this ant would also refuse to help him when he was in danger.

His two peculiar weapons were able to save even Princess Yuzhu, who was quite far away. Wu Qianyu absolutely did not believe that Wu Chengyu would not have been able to save her in time.

Wu Chengyu sensed the resentment in Wu Qianyu's eyes. Taking advantage of Princess Yuzhu's inattention, he secretly winked at Wu Qianyu, subtly provoking her.

However, he immediately remembered that the person opposite him was a cross-dresser, and he thought he had just given the other person a wink. He immediately felt a little disgusted and turned his head to the other side.

Princess Yuzhu was completely oblivious to the exchange of glances between Wu Chengyu and Wu Qianyu. Curious, she walked up to the corpse of the Fire-Worker Monk, examined it closely, and exclaimed in admiration.

"Junior brother is right, we have indeed underestimated the heroes of the world."

This Fire-Worker Monk is indeed the strongest expert in the Ronghua Guild. In fact, apart from my master, no one in my Xia Kingdom can rival him. Even if the two of us join forces, we can probably only protect ourselves.

Fortunately, although tonight's plan had some twists and turns, it was ultimately a great success. By taking down the Fireworker Monk through this sneak attack, Ronghua Club will no longer have this top expert on the arena, and no one else will be a threat.

Moreover, the heroes of this world include Nie Gongfeng. I underestimated you before. If you hadn't forcefully killed that traitor Tongming today, Huogong Toutuo wouldn't have been able to resist taking action, and my junior brother wouldn't have had the opportunity to assassinate him.

Moreover, Nie Gongfeng's pair of weapons were truly unexpected. It was surprising that Nie Gongfeng, besides his superb leg techniques, also possessed such skills, which was truly admirable.

It was my fault for not informing Master Nie of today's plan beforehand, which put him in danger. Master Nie was also quick to save me.

Yuzhu apologizes and expresses her gratitude to you here, promising to repay your kindness in the future.

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Yuzhu bowed to Wu Chengyu. Wu Chengyu took two steps back and dodged to the side, returning the bow with clasped hands.

"Princess, what are you saying? I am paid a salary, so I should do my duty. Today I have finally made some contributions, and I have not failed the princess's kindness."

On the surface, Wu Chengyu dared not take credit, but in his heart he was thinking about the mentor that Princess Yuzhu had mentioned earlier. She had even said that her mentor's martial arts were superior to Huogong Toutuo's. Wu Chengyu knew that this so-called mentor was probably the final boss of the Xia Kingdom, and the person he would eventually have to face.
