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

Chapter 414 Nothing more than that
In the world of martial arts, once you reach the level of a top master, whether it's Qiu Qianren or Tian Boguang now, you no longer need to be obsequious to any prince. You can either take the initiative to submit to him out of greed for wealth and glory, or you can stand up to him without hesitation.

After all, top-tier experts can kill a prince at any time. Faced with someone who can take their life immediately, those princes and nobles will also show them the corresponding respect.

However, Wanyan Hongxi's tone just now was rather impolite. His so-called "showing off" seemed more like he wanted Wu Chengyu to perform for him, wanted to provoke Wu Chengyu, or wanted to test something.

Wu Chengyu, of course, would not give him that face. Just as he was about to refuse sternly and retort, Wanyan Honglie suddenly spoke up.

"Since the Third Prince is in such high spirits, Mr. Tian, ​​why don't you give Prince Rong a proper demonstration?"

Wu Chengyu suddenly turned to look at Wanyan Honglie, first frowning, but when their eyes met, he raised an eyebrow.

Wanyan Honglie had always treated Wu Chengyu with courtesy and a peaceful attitude, and had always respected Wu Chengyu's ideas. He did not consider himself Wu Chengyu's master, so he would never make such a decision for Wu Chengyu.

At this moment, however, his gaze was earnest and sincere. When he looked over, he didn't give any hints, as if he truly respected Wanyan Hongxi and that was why he was pleading with Wu Chengyu for help.

However, Wu Chengyu believed he knew Wanyan Honglie very well. This guy was never one to suffer a loss unless it involved Bao Xiruo and Yang Kang. Otherwise, he was a man of great wisdom and resourcefulness, and he would act only after careful planning.

The two exchanged glances without exchanging a single look, and Wu Chengyu immediately understood that Wanyan Honglie genuinely wanted him to make a move, and that he had probably already dug a pit for someone to fall into.

"Father, how can you let Master..." Yang Kang protested, but was immediately interrupted by Wu Chengyu before he could finish speaking.

"Kang'er, it's alright. It's just been a bit boring on the way. Your teacher would like to stretch your arms and legs."

However, performing kung fu alone is rather boring. I wonder if Prince Rong has any good suggestions.

"Haha, of course, I have three more experts here, who are definitely not as good as Mr. Tian, ​​so why don't we have the three of them team up to play with Mr. Tian?"

As soon as he finished speaking, three men stepped out from behind Wanyan Hongxi, each exuding a fierce aura and clearly no ordinary fighter.

At this moment, Wu Chengyu heard Wanyan Honglie's words: "Mr. Tian, ​​these three are the Three Eagles of the Rong Prince's Mansion. The Rong Prince's Mansion has always had three eagles, five tigers, and eight dogs, a total of sixteen experts. You have already seen the five tigers and eight dogs. As for these three eagles, please, sir, show them mercy."

Upon hearing this, the three hawks of the Rong Prince's Mansion were immediately enraged. Wanyan Honglie's words completely belittled them, clearly indicating that he believed they were no match for Wu Chengyu.

These three men were always arrogant and didn't believe that Wu Chengyu was a top expert until they actually made a move, even though the five tigers and eight dogs of the Rong Prince's Mansion had been seriously injured by Wu Chengyu and were still unable to get out of bed.

"Mr. Tian, ​​please," the three said insincerely, before drawing their weapons.

Wu Chengyu was still processing Wanyan Honglie's words. He knew that Wanyan Honglie must have made arrangements for tonight, and the emphasis and true purpose of the words he had just spoken seemed to be on the word "truly".

Wanyan Honglie told Wu Chengyu to "really" show mercy, in other words, not to use his full strength?

Immediately afterward, Wu Chengyu looked at the weapons of the three people opposite him and immediately laughed.

One of them held a pair of iron claws, also known as iron claws. Although they are among the eighteen weapons, they are considered unusual. They are like two enlarged versions of back scratchers, or giant steel eagle claws.

With its five fingers flexing and extending, flexible joints, and sharp, hook-like tips, it can seize and lock down enemies, tear flesh and split bones. In short, once hit, a piece of flesh will inevitably be torn off.

The second person carried a hook, a double hook with a gauntlet. The hook head was curved and without a point, the hook body was like a sword and partially sharpened, the rear end had a conical stabbing part, and the gauntlet had a crescent-shaped iron blade structure.

This weapon excels at seizing the opponent's weapon, focusing on spinning and strangling attacks. Its moves are bizarre and can catch people off guard, but it requires extremely high skill to use, and the slightest carelessness can injure the user.

The third person's weapon was a flail, a long stick with a spiked hammer head connected to the top by an iron chain. Once swung, it moved like a meteor hammer, its trajectory unpredictable, its force immense, capable of piercing armor and crushing bones.

These three are all unusual weapons, and they are not easy to use. Generally, those who use unusual weapons are either laymen who are just pretending or true masters who are skilled in this art. Since these three eagles can serve as retainers in the Rong Prince's Mansion, they are definitely not just for show.

The reason Wu Chengyu wanted to laugh was that, coincidentally, he also seemed to be skilled in the unorthodox weapon, the Qiankun Ring.

"The three of us greet Mr. Tian. My name is Lü Qiao, also known as Iron Claw Divine Eagle."

"My name is Lu Bo, also known as..."

"Alright, you're not worthy of my name. I don't want to hear your nonsense."

Wu Chengyu immediately interrupted the other person and drew a circle on the ground with his foot, just big enough for him to stand in.

"Tian is in this circle. If he can force me to leave, then I'll consider it a loss."

Enraged by such contempt, the three eagles immediately attacked, swinging their flails at Wu Chengyu's head. The whistling sound of the flails as they swung them created a terrifying centrifugal force. They aimed for Wu Chengyu's head, and if they hit him, even a top expert would have his skull shattered.

The other two used their lightness skills to change positions. The one with the double hooks flashed behind Wu Chengyu, the hooks suddenly appearing like venomous snakes, their target being Wu Chengyu's kidneys. The one wielding the iron mace came to Wu Chengyu's side, his iron mace flashing out to grab Wu Chengyu's nape. If he got a firm grip, Wu Chengyu's neck bones would break instantly.

The three had been working together for a long time and their moves were extremely coordinated. Their attacks arrived in an instant, without any hesitation.

If Wu Chengyu were to encounter such an attack in the past, his figure would immediately disappear from the three people's sight, leaving at most a phantom figure. Then he would split into three shadows, and the three figures would appear behind the three people almost simultaneously. Then he would gently reach out and use the Bone-Dissolving Grappling Hand to break the opponent's neck.

But what he was thinking about was Wanyan Honglie's words about truly showing mercy, so he simply bound himself to his own fate and stood still.

At the same time, he reached behind his back and took out his Black and White Impermanence. This time, he did not throw them out, but held them in his hand. He first used the inner rings of the two Qiankun Rings to hook the double hooks on his back, making the hooks unable to move.

Then, standing on his left leg, he kicked back with his right leg in a scorpion tail kick, aiming at the man wielding the double hooks. The man's hooks were locked by Wu Chengyu, leaving him wide open. He could only watch helplessly as Wu Chengyu's foot came flying towards him. He had no choice but to release his hands and avoid Wu Chengyu's kick.

At the same time, the flail that was about to smash down on Wu Chengyu's head and the iron claw that was about to grab the back of his neck were already very close.

At this moment, Wu Chengyu's body suddenly shrank, his original height of over 1.8 meters shrank to only half the height. The flail and iron mace just passed over his head, but the man with the iron mace changed his expression. The iron mace actually disobeyed his command and directly swung upwards to meet the flail.

The flail was incredibly powerful, knocking the iron maces away. Then, the flail seemed to lose control and flew backward, nearly hitting its owner.

The three attacked simultaneously but failed. Two of them lost their weapons and retreated several steps, their faces grave.

Wu Chengyu threw back the double hooks that were locked by his Qiankun Ring, and at the same time signaled for Tiezha to pick up his weapon again. Then he stretched out his right hand, palm up, and clenched his four fingers except for the index finger, hooking the three eagles with only the index finger.

The three eagles were much more cautious this time. They still joined forces, but they kept circling around Wu Chengyu and fighting him. They used three different strange weapons in turn, taking advantage of Wu Chengyu's inability to change position, jumping up, down, left, right and side to take turns attacking.

Wu Chengyu wields the Black and White Impermanence weapons, and can instantly deflect any weapon that comes his way.

The situation on the scene became that Wu Chengyu stood still, letting the three men fight and attack him, having a great time. To an untrained eye, Wu Chengyu seemed to be beaten so badly that he could only parry and had no chance to fight back.

There were many laymen among them, such as the Third Prince Wanyan Hongxi, who had been drinking and watching the battle intently. In his opinion, his three eagles had a clear advantage, and this so-called top expert was nothing special.

At this point, Wanyan Hongxi had no more doubts. He slowly stood up, still holding the wine pot in his hand. He turned his head and glanced at Wanyan Honglie, who was calmly watching the battle. Suddenly, he shouted and smashed the wine pot on the ground.

"Make your move!" The wine jug shattered. The cavalrymen who had been defending and observing the battle suddenly moved. They were not on horseback, but fully armored and armed with weapons, and rushed into the arena, surrounding everyone.

Wanyan Hongxi looked at Wanyan Honglie: "Sixth brother, you are good at pleasing the Emperor. You did not hesitate to give up your beloved Han concubine for the position of Crown Prince, and you also won the support of the Nalan clan. If you get the great merit of annihilating the Mongol barbarians this time, the throne will probably really fall into your hands."

Don't blame Third Brother for being ruthless; we're currently near the Mongolian grasslands, far enough away from Daxing City.

If I kill you here, I'll say it was those Mongolian savages, Temujin, who did it. Then I'll incite Wang Khan and Jamukha to join forces to wipe out Temujin and avenge you. The great achievement of suppressing the Mongolian grasslands will then be mine.

That throne, the position of emperor, will forever belong to me.

At this moment, Wu Chengyu was still trapped in place by the three eagles. Yang Kang was caught off guard by the sudden change and was at a loss, but he subconsciously took a stance and stood in front of Wanyan Honglie.

Wanyan Honglie looked at his adopted son with satisfaction before speaking to Wanyan Hongxi.

"Third Brother, you are really good at holding back, you actually waited until now to make your move."

"Only by getting close to Mongolia and away from Dadu can I make arrangements at my leisure. I was worried about the expert by your side before, but who would have thought that such a top expert was nothing more than that, and he has distracted me for no reason."

Sixth brother, you will die without a burial place, your body will be lost forever. It's a pity that you brought Wanyan Kang with you this time. Now, the Zhao Prince's Mansion will have no descendants.

"Attack immediately!"

As soon as Wanyan Hongxi finished speaking, the cavalrymen who had surrounded them raised their swords and spears. Yang Kang shouted and was about to rush forward to fight to the death, but Wanyan Honglie grabbed him and said calmly, "You can make your move now."

As soon as Wanyan Honglie spoke, less than a hundred of the cavalrymen who were about to surround him continued to move, while the rest suddenly stopped and plunged their swords straight into the bodies of their comrades who were still fighting bravely.

Wanyan Hongxi was dumbfounded. Of the eight hundred cavalrymen he brought this time, at least six hundred were his men, and the remaining two hundred were no longer a threat. Who would have thought that only one hundred of these six hundred men would actually obey his orders?

Seeing that all of Wanyan Hongxi's men had been taken down by the surrounding cavalry, and hearing several screams from the side, Wanyan Hongxi quickly turned his head and saw Wu Chengyu, who was surrounded by his three eagles, standing leisurely to the side, with two beams of light, one black and one white, circling above his head.

His three eagles were already lying dead on the ground, their heads flying three zhang away. They died so quickly that Wanyan Hongxi had no time to react.

At this moment, Wanyan Honglie walked up to his third brother and patted the dumbfounded Wanyan Hongxi: "That's all there is to it."
