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

Chapter 354 Extremely Dark
Some of the spikes on the blue arm guards had been kicked askew, indicating that Wu Chengyu's toes had come into close contact with them. Looking at Wu Chengyu's boots now, the calfskin boots were completely rotten at the toes.

Liu Tie, enduring the soreness and swelling in his arms, grinned maliciously and said, "I knew your legwork was extremely strong, so how could I not be on guard? Your feet should be a bloody mess by now, with countless toes broken. With your legs crippled, let's see how you win against me."

Wu Chengyu remained silent. He looked down at his boots, which were indeed tattered. However, how could his legs be easily injured? Neither his bones, which were as hard as steel, nor the white scales on his skin could be harmed by the spiked arm guards.

Wu Chengyu was simply caught off guard and felt some pain. Now, with a little internal energy, the pain disappeared, and he was not injured at all. Thanks to the opponent's careful preparation, all he lost was a pair of boots.

However, this time, the opponent really went to great lengths in the arena battle, even targeting me, who was just cannon fodder on the surface. If I were an ordinary martial arts master, I might have actually been outmaneuvered this time.

But schemes and tricks are useless against true strength. Wu Chengyu tilted his head and looked at Liu Tie, saying, "Next."

What next? Liu Tie was confused. He only saw a figure flash in front of him. He seemed to see Wu Chengyu get close to him in an instant, but he didn't have time to react. The next moment, Wu Chengyu retreated another 10 feet away. His eyes were no longer looking at him, but looking up at his own camp behind him.

Immediately afterwards, he felt tightness in his chest, and an itching sensation from his heart to his throat. Then he couldn't help but cough violently, coughing with immense pain. First, he coughed up blood, and finally, he coughed up a black thing from his mouth. He immediately recognized it as his lung.

'How could this be?' Liu Tie was shocked, but he couldn't speak. He finally understood what the next thing meant. Amidst the violent coughing, everything went black, and he died on the spot.

This is the "Wind and Sun" technique from the "Gale Leg Technique." It relies on light footwork to launch a sneak attack, instantly destroying the opponent's heart and lungs with a single tap of the toes. The victim will inevitably cough up their lungs. Wu Chengyu was ambushed by the opponent and was displeased. Not wanting to get entangled any longer, he directly killed the target.

Ultimately, Liu Tie, the "Suppressor of Three Mountains," was at best a second-rate figure. It was a blessing for him to die at Wu Chengyu's feet.

At this moment, Wu Chengyu raised his head and called out the next one, his eyes fixed on the second master of Ronghua Guild Hall, Tongxiang, the eldest disciple of Huogong Toutuo.

Tong Xiang also stood up and jumped down from the high platform. People of his lineage did not know light-footed skills, but relied on hard-hitting techniques. A heavy thud echoed from the training ground.

Wu Chengyu looked at the other person, whose appearance was similar to that of Tongming. He was over 1.8 meters tall, with a well-defined bone structure. He had no hair on his head, and this guy didn't even have eyebrows. Instead, he had a face full of fat and a fierce look.

“My junior brother Tongming died at your hands, and my master was also betrayed by your people. I’ll tear you to pieces first, and then I’ll tear that sissy apart.”

"Besides you and Tongming, how many disciples does Huogong Toutuo have in total?"

“The rest are all good-for-nothings. In our Vajra Sect, I am now the most respected, and I am the only one who has received the master’s true teachings.”

Wu Chengyu had no idea that the reason why the Fire-Worker Monk had joined the First Prince was because the First Prince could provide them with a miraculous medicine to treat bone injuries. After several improvements, the Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment was created.

At present, the Vajra Sect lacked this miraculous medicine to aid cultivation. The disciples of the Fire-Worker Monk could only offer the skills of Tongxiang and Tongming. It was not until he obtained the miraculous medicine that the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions truly developed and continued until the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

However, because of Wu Chengyu's arrival, Huogong Toutuo is dead, and the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment will never be made, becoming the Wu family's patent. If we kill Tongxiang today, the Vajra Sect might just disappear from the face of the earth, and Yu Daiyan and Yin Liting in the future might be spared that torment.

Wu Chengyu didn't have time to think about these things, nor could he ask Zhang Sanfeng for any benefits. He just looked at the extremely smug Tong Xiang in front of him and said...

"It seems the lineage of the Fire-Worker Monk will be broken from now on. I guess I've done a good deed. You're so arrogant, you don't really think you can beat me, do you?"

"Hahaha, I'm here, you're going to die, take this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Xiang strode towards Wu Chengyu, raised his index and middle fingers together, and used the Vajra Finger technique to stab Wu Chengyu in the chest.

Wu Chengyu doesn't want to confront his opponent head-on. His martial prowess has only been at best among the top-tier masters, while Tong Xiang is also at the level of a first-rate master.

It's understandable that he ambushed and killed Liu Tie, who wasn't very skilled in martial arts, but if he easily defeats Tong Xiang, his martial arts skills will be exposed.

This feeling of having to hide, pretend to be weak, and not being able to kill the opponent in a satisfying way is really unpleasant, but Wu Chengyu doesn't want to give himself away. After all, although that old monster hasn't shown himself, he might be hiding somewhere observing the current situation.

Even now, Wu Chengyu wouldn't be afraid of facing the Eastern Heretic and the Western Poison, but against an old monster at the Innate Realm, Wu Chengyu would definitely be no match for him due to the difference in their levels.

Tong Xiang used the Vajra Finger technique repeatedly, then unleashed the Vajra Palm technique, striking Wu Chengyu continuously. Wu Chengyu used his lightness skill to constantly evade and fight, never engaging Tong Xiang in combat. This infuriated Tong Xiang, who yelled and screamed. After seven or eight rounds, he was already panting heavily.

Taking advantage of the opponent's temporary exhaustion and slowed speed, Wu Chengyu immediately used his lightness skill to dart to Tong Xiang's side and rear. Without wasting words, he unleashed a series of leg techniques, like a whirlwind, kicking Tong Xiang.

Tong Xiang's lightness skill was poor, and his tall and burly body was not agile. He turned slowly and was a perfect target. At this moment, he had no chance to dodge and was kicked several times by Wu Chengyu. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Wu Chengyu used 20% of his internal force in those kicks, which he considered sufficient. Although he didn't hit any vital points, the damage he caused to Tong Xiang was considerable. He even felt that several of Tong Xiang's ribs had been broken.

So the Prime Minister should have been defeated, but the result was unexpected. The Prime Minister only took a few steps forward, panting heavily, yet he was still able to stand. He slowly turned around, his face showing only a sinister smile, while the veins on his neck bulged, and many blood vessels were clearly visible.

"Your legwork is good, but it can't do anything to me, it can't even hurt me. Now it's my turn."

Wu Chengyu narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew the force he had just used, and his opponent's ribs must have been broken.

Logically speaking, a master of the Tongxiang level should be seriously injured by now. How could he still be holding on and even dare to say that he doesn't feel pain?

The Shaolin martial arts that Huogong Toutuo stole back then didn't include the Golden Bell Cover. He modified the Vajra Palm and Vajra Finger into completely external skills, requiring practitioners to have strong bones to withstand beatings.

But in the end, the Vajra Sect of the Western Regions didn't practice any powerful external martial arts, so how could they have such a strong ability to withstand blows?
"You were ambushed by Liu Tie just now. I don't believe you weren't injured. Now try my Mighty Vajra Leg."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Xiang caught his breath, swung his two thick legs, and launched an attack on Wu Chengyu.

This Mighty Vajra Leg is also a Shaolin secret technique, which can be used to kick a ball. Not only is it powerful and heavy, but its attack speed is also quite fast. Moreover, in terms of martial arts level, it is no less than the Gale Leg Technique.

Wu Chengyu has now become suspicious of Tong Xiang. This guy's performance does not match his strength. He no longer plays the guerrilla warfare game and directly uses the Gale Leg Technique to fight head-on with the opponent's Mighty Vajra Leg.

In just a few breaths, the four legs collided one after another, and more than a dozen muffled thunderclaps echoed in the training ground. Wu Chengyu gradually increased his strength and gained the upper hand. His bones were much harder than those of a Tongxiang. In just a few moments, Wu Chengyu felt that his opponent's leg bones must have broken.

After a fierce battle, Tong Xiang staggered back a few steps, his legs bent and he could no longer stand upright, but he still had a ferocious smile on his face, seemingly showing no signs of pain.

Wu Chengyu was somewhat puzzled and did not immediately pursue them, but instead carefully observed Tong Xiang's physical condition.

In the previous battle, this guy broke several bones in his body. Even if the leg bones in his two legs weren't shattered, they should have been broken into seven or eight pieces by now. But this guy just couldn't take it. Wu Chengyu believed that there were tough guys in the world, but he absolutely didn't believe that Tong Xiang could be this tough.

This guy seemed to have no sense of pain, and when they clashed head-on just now, the force he used must have exceeded his own skill level. Wu Chengyu felt that this feeling was somewhat familiar.

Amidst this confusion, Tong Xiang suddenly reached into his clothes and took out a small porcelain bottle. He pulled out a pill from it and put it in his mouth. Immediately afterward, he became even more frenzied, with not only blue veins and blood vessels on his face, but also many black lines appearing.

Even Tong Xiang's eyes turned bloodshot, making him look completely unlike a normal person.

Just then, Wu Chengyu heard Princess Yuzhu shout from behind: "Nie Feng, this prime minister has taken my Xia Kingdom's secret medicine. After taking it, not only will he lose all feeling of pain, but he will also greatly increase his strength. You must be careful."

At the same time, Princess Yuzhu turned to look at the north stands and shouted, "Father, he took banned drugs. This competition is unfair!"

The Xia emperor remained silent, but the Qi king gave Princess Yuzhu an answer: "It was not mentioned before the competition that medicine could not be taken, so the act of colluding with the prime minister is not a violation."

This tournament was even more corrupt than the Korean one. The organizers, rule setters, and referees were all biased, and even the opponents were all in cahoots. It was truly utterly shady.

Wu Chengyu even began to doubt whether Princess Yuzhu was his biological daughter, mainly because she didn't look like her at all.

In terms of appearance, her emperor father was even more handsome than Princess Yuzhu.

But that's reality, especially when it comes to power struggles and royal secrets; any idea of ​​fairness is naive.

Helpless, Princess Yuzhu returned to her seat and remained silent. Wu Chengyu, who was in the room, suddenly realized that the other party's feeling was very similar to when he assassinated Shi Miyuan. However, the medicine that Tongming took was far inferior to the prescription given by the bamboo slip.

However, now that he had figured out the reason for the other party's abnormality, Wu Chengyu didn't want to get entangled anymore. For him, would taking medicine be of any use?

Although the blows didn't hurt, there's always a limit to how much a body can go. Wu Chengyu once again used the Gale Leg Technique to launch a preemptive attack. After taking the medicine, Tong Xiang became even more like a monster, showing no fear and directly choosing to counterattack.

Wu Chengyu's leg was getting heavier and heavier. Tong Xiang felt no pain, but the hardness of his leg was limited. After a few moves, Wu Chengyu's leg technique directly cleaved Tong Xiang's leg horizontally like a sharp axe, and actually broke it off from the root.

A leg fell several meters away, but Tong Xiang seemed oblivious to it, his mind completely blank. He still tried to kick Wu Chengyu with the non-existent leg.

Unfortunately, at this moment, blood gushed from his legs, and he finally lost his balance and fell to the ground. His eyes were glazed over, and he roared until he gradually lost his breath and finally died from massive blood loss.
