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

Chapter 379 Sending the Free and Unfettered Sect to Their End
"Hahaha, old monster, I was prepared for this move."

The old monster was indeed vicious; this time, he wanted to take the opportunity to kill both the mummy and Wu Chengyu at the same time, leaving no future trouble.

But Wu Chengyu laughed loudly, and from the moment he opened his mouth, the situation on the field changed dramatically.

Throughout the entire fight, Wu Chengyu devoted at most five-tenths of his attention to the mummy, while focusing the remaining five-tenths on the old monster.

For Wu Chengyu, the threat of the old monster was always his top priority, no matter when or where; he would never trust a woman with a heart of stone.

The mummy's reaction speed was too slow, and it was constantly affected by the flute music. Although Wu Chengyu could not defeat it, as long as he used his lightness skill, he would be invincible.

He actually already had a way to deal with mummies, an extremely useful method that could be effective immediately, but Wu Chengyu was waiting for the old monster to make a move, so he hadn't used it yet.

Since it is controlled remotely by sound, the mummy will completely lose control if the control of sound is cut off.

Therefore, when Wu Chengyu spoke, he automatically used the art of persuasion, using ultrasonic waves that were inaudible to the others to directly disrupt the flute's manipulation of the mummy.

The mummy, who had been fiercely confronting Wu Chengyu just moments before, froze in place, allowing Wu Chengyu to turn him around and push him toward the charging old monster, completely unprepared and unresponsive.

In fact, the old monster should have been able to do this as well. Among the martial arts engraved in the side hall of the Remnant Dream Palace was the Soul-Searching Technique of Sound Transmission. If the old monster had used the same method, he could have disrupted the flute music.

Unfortunately, the old monster either didn't practice this martial art or simply didn't think of it, and couldn't apply it flexibly. These days, she only knows how to fight the mummy head-on, causing her body to deteriorate. The martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect are truly a waste of talent when they fall into her hands.

Meanwhile, the old monster's mood plummeted like a rollercoaster as her right palm struck the mummy directly with Yang Ge Tian Jun.

The mummy's innate protective energy immediately protected its body, but it was too late. It was neutralized by the old monster's palm strike, and the mummy's upper body was instantly broken and sent flying backward.

These past few days, the old monster had been blocked by the mummy and unable to escape. In addition, this was Xu Zhu's son, an illegitimate child in her eyes. The old monster had always hated him to the bone. Now, she had seriously injured him with a palm strike, finally venting her anger.

But the old monster's face showed no joy, because the Yang Ge Tian Jun in her left palm suddenly became uncontrollable. The palm force was blocked by an invisible aura, and at the same time, her hand was covered by layers of nets, making it impossible to extend.

Just as she was about to increase her internal energy and regain control of her left palm, she was inexplicably surprised to find that her palm force was changing direction uncontrollably and slashing towards her.

Using their own methods against them, this is naturally the "Shifting Stars and Changing the Universe," and it incorporates the protective techniques of the Quanxing Sect, far surpassing the original version of the "Shifting Stars and Changing the Universe."

Over the years, Wu Chengyu's "Shifting Stars" technique has nearly reached its peak. In terms of both level and power, it is no less than the "Six Yang Palms of Tianshan." This is Wu Chengyu's true trump card.

When Murong Fu went to Western Xia to propose marriage, he did not meet the old monster, let alone fight him. After Murong Fu went mad and the old monster married into Lingjiu Palace, it was even less likely that he would witness the wondrous power of the Star Shift Technique.

For her, she had only heard of the name "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" many years ago, but had never actually witnessed such a magical martial art.

Her limited combat experience and relatively dull adaptability were on full display at this moment. She had no idea what was happening or how to deal with it, and could only watch helplessly as her palm strike landed on her.

The old monster was, after all, at the Innate Realm. The effect of "Shifting Stars" could only be used once. The next time, with someone on guard, it would be difficult to hit her directly in one strike. At most, it could only deflect the direction of her palm strike. But Wu Chengyu was waiting for this opportunity.

In his haste, the old monster withdrew some of his internal energy, and with the help of the innate qi within his body, he managed to reduce the destructive power of the attack by 70%.

However, the remaining 30% of her internal energy struck her solidly. Although it wouldn't kill her instantly, given her current physical condition, even 30% of the energy would be extremely painful. She was sent flying a zhang away, and her injuries worsened once again.

This is also a result of not reaching the level of subtlety; she can never anticipate the enemy's moves, and every move she makes is anticipated by Wu Chengyu, leaving her no room for maneuver.

Instead of taking the opportunity to attack the old monster, Wu Chengyu moved swiftly and followed the mummy like a shadow. The mummy was now powerless to fight, but the internal energy within him was still sustaining his life. What Wu Chengyu had to do was to send off this former young master of the Xiaoyao Sect to his death.

While the mummy was still in the air, not yet on the ground, and had lost its balance, Wu Chengyu came to his side, gently stretched out his right hand, and accurately grabbed the mummy's neck. What he touched was just a layer of skin covering bones; Wu Chengyu felt that he had only grabbed a piece of dead wood.

Next, he used his bone-breaking technique, snapping the mummy's neck bone with a crisp crack.

The son of Xu Zhu, the chosen one of destiny during the Tianlong era, and the undisputed heir of the Xiaoyao Sect, was poisoned and assassinated by the old monster, becoming a living dead and a puppet in the hands of the Western Xia royal family.

Given his humble origins, how could he end up in such a state? As a loyal reader of Tianlong back then, I always had a certain fondness for the simple-minded but incredibly lucky Xuzhu. No matter what, Wu Chengyu couldn't bear to see him being manipulated like this, living a life worse than death.

Therefore, tonight Wu Chengyu will end the mummy's tragic life and let this young master of the Xiaoyao Sect pass away soon, perhaps even in time for reincarnation.

Unfortunately, the bloodline of the Shaolin abbot became extinct. Later abbots were wiser; by having more children, such a tragedy could have been avoided. From the moment Wu Chengyu suddenly appeared and launched his powerful attack, the battle had barely begun. Those around hadn't even figured out where Wu Chengyu had come from, yet the encirclement that had surrounded the old monster for over ten days had completely failed.

Wu Chengyu finally destroyed the Western Xia royal family's trump card. Even a living dead person would surely die if their neck was broken.

This time, the Western Xia royal family suffered a complete defeat. The old monster was further injured, and Wu Chengyu's previous scheme was finally mostly completed.

He turned to look at the old monster who had just struggled to get up from the ground. Now she was terrified. Wu Chengyu was truly unfathomable in her eyes. The old monster no longer dared to fight Wu Chengyu. Her only option now was to run away.

The Western Xia emperor reacted immediately, roaring in a voice cracking with rage: "Release the arrows!"

The surrounding soldiers also seemed to awaken from a dream, and thousands of sharp arrows pierced the night sky, densely shooting towards the old monster and Wu Chengyu in the arena.

The old monster dared not linger. He barely suppressed his injuries and used the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to break out of the encirclement. Without the mummy, Wu Chengyu no longer wanted to stop him, so this kind of attack posed no threat to the old monster.

Wu Chengyu easily dodged the rain of arrows, casually grabbed an arrow from the air, and threw it. The arrow shot towards the Western Xia emperor at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Several guards around the Western Xia emperor desperately tried to block his way, but the arrows unexpectedly veered off course in the air and pierced the throat of the white-clad flute player the next second.

Wu Chengyu didn't know this person's identity, but since he could use secret techniques to control the living dead, he would feel more at ease if such a person died.

The old monster's figure had already disappeared. Wu Chengyu didn't dare to delay and vanished into the night with a flash in the air.

Only the Western Xia emperor, who had just survived a near-death experience and was panting wildly, remained, filled with impotent rage. Now, he was most terrified; once the old monster escaped, he would never be able to eat or sleep in peace again.

However, Wu Chengyu would never tell him that he was just scaring himself, and that the old monster had embarked on a path of no return the moment he left the palace.

Wu Chengyu did not follow the old monster. There was only one place the old monster could go now: the princess's residence. Her injuries were about to become uncontrollable, and the only way now was to find her two good disciples immediately.

The old monster had been running wildly ever since she left the palace, constantly looking back to check, but she couldn't find Wu Chengyu. Knowing she couldn't afford to delay any longer, she gritted her teeth, determined not to be distracted by Wu Chengyu any longer, and turned to head towards the princess's residence.

Wu Chengyu was much faster than her, and returned to the princess's residence first, then secretly ran to Princess Yuzhu's bedroom.

The scene was similar to that morning; Yeli Mingzhu was still lying weakly in bed, wrapped in a blanket, looking both happy and resentful.

Princess Yuzhu and Wu Qianyu were still sitting at the Eight Immortals table. They were no longer as awkward as they had been that morning. There was wine and food in front of them. Perhaps they had just eaten a lot, as they were enjoying their meal. However, their occasional glances at each other were somewhat ambiguous, giving off a hint of mutual affection and tenderness.

Yeli Mingzhu has become a mere tool this time. Princess Yuzhu and Wu Qianyu are more like a couple, while Yeli Mingzhu is the link between them, automatically connected without needing to be recharged.

"Someone, bring some tonics to the Prince Consort: a ginseng, seal, and epimedium tonic soup, and a bowl of raw deer blood."

Princess Yuzhu never forgot the well-digger when she drank the water; Wu Qianyu lowered her head and chuckled to herself, her body trembling with excitement.

The next second, the palace door opened with a bang, as if it had been cleaved open by a palm strike. Princess Yuzhu and Wu Qianyu immediately stood up on guard, their faces lighting up with joy.

"My dear teacher? What brings you here?"

The one who entered was naturally the old monster. Her complexion was extremely poor, her breath was weak, and she managed to speak.

"This place is no place to stay any longer, come with me quickly."

Princess Yuzhu and Wu Qianyu looked troubled. One of them had not yet recovered her strength, and the other's groin had just scabbed over. How could they possibly run away?

The old monster didn't care about anything else. He flew forward, grabbed one person with each hand, locked their pressure points at the same time, and carried them away at high speed.

Only Yeli Mingzhu, still in bed, couldn't help but shiver again.

　Something rather unpleasant happened this morning, which took a lot of time to resolve, disrupting my writing and seriously affecting my mood. I finally managed to get into a bit of a rhythm, so it's a little late. This is the first chapter; I'll start writing the next one right away.
