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

Chapter 449 A Head-on Clash with Ouyang Feng

Ouyang Feng felt he must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today. He was shocked and furious at the same time. The situation had changed too quickly, and he had no time to react.

He has always been a very ambitious person, but his greatest ambition is nothing more than to dominate the martial arts world and become the undisputed number one in the world, just like Wang Chongyang back then.

His entire focus was on the martial arts world and on cultivating martial arts. In terms of skill, among the Five Greats of the World, he was the true martial arts fanatic, having devoted the most effort to the art of martial arts.

Wang Chongyang goes without saying; he resisted the Jin dynasty, cultivated Taoism, and was infatuated with Lin Chaoying but never dared to step out of the forbidden zone. Martial arts were never his most important pursuit.

Duan Zhixing was the emperor and had to handle state affairs. Even if he later became a monk, he still had to practice Buddhism and martial arts as a way of inheriting his family's tradition.

Besides managing the Beggars' Sect, which he did poorly, Hong Qigong's greatest pleasure was wandering the streets and getting all sorts of good food.

As for Huang Yaoshi, he also valued martial arts, but his studies were too diverse, including medicine, divination, astrology, and various other miscellaneous subjects, which distracted him from his studies.

Only Ouyang Feng devoted 90% of his energy to martial arts training, practicing diligently day after day for decades. The remaining 10% was spent having his sister-in-law give birth to his nephew.

Since Wang Chongyang broke his Toad Skill with One-Finger Divine Skill before faking his death, it took him seven or eight years to recover. After that, he dominated the area around White Camel Mountain, but he did not deliberately expand his power. He was focused on waiting for the next Mount Hua Sword Tournament.

In recent years, for some reason, the Jin and Xia dynasties have placed great importance on martial arts practitioners and sent many people to win him over.

At first, Ouyang Feng remained unmoved, but the Jin people were still a step ahead. They sent many beautiful wives and concubines to Ouyang Ke to please him, and had his nephew give the Jin people a suggestion: use martial arts manuals to sway Ouyang Feng.

The Jin Kingdom immediately acquired several rare martial arts manuals. In The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Ouyang Feng was able to be won over by Wanyan Honglie because of Ouyang Ke, and even more so because the legendary Wumu Manual was suspected to contain exquisite free-style techniques left by Yue Fei.

After much persuasion, Ouyang Feng finally agreed to serve the Jin Kingdom. This time, Ouyang Feng was visiting Daxing when he received an urgent order from the Jin Kingdom, ordering him to take a boat south to the Song Kingdom to help the local spies deal with Hong Qigong.

For Ouyang Feng, the prospect of eliminating an enemy before the Mount Hua Sword Tournament was simply too tempting.

In the past, he was wary of Hong Qigong's status as the leader of the Beggars' Clan and dared not provoke him easily. However, when he heard about the traps and conspiracies set up by the Jin Kingdom's spies, he was absolutely confident that he could use these forces to eliminate his old friend in one fell swoop.

As he had predicted, Hong Qigong was ambushed and repeatedly attacked, sustaining serious injuries. He was also aided by Qiu Qianren and surrounded by a group of experts and Song soldiers, forming an inescapable trap. He saw no chance that Hong Qigong could escape.

Just when he was about to succeed, confident that Hong Qigong would be defeated after another hundred or so moves, a pretty boy suddenly appeared.

The pretty boy's men slaughtered all of Ouyang Feng's supporters like chickens, and the pretty boy himself killed Qiu Qianren with three punches. Now Ouyang Feng was completely stuck.

He was engaged in a fierce battle with Hong Qigong and only paid brief attention to Qiu Qianren's situation. However, he knew that he himself could not have killed Qiu Qianren so easily.

Now the situation has reversed. Hong Qigong is still alive, so we can at least fight him for a while longer. The encirclement around us has completely turned into a cage that confines us. The rebel army that is besieging Hong Qigong has become those two hundred or so teenagers, who are ruthless and skilled in combat.

The pretty boy who killed Qiu Qianren now had all his attention focused on him. If he didn't leave now, he would be trapped like a fish in a barrel.

The skill of "traveling a thousand miles in an instant" is a unique skill of White Camel Mountain. Saying it can cover a thousand miles is an exaggeration. With Ouyang Feng's skill, he can cover several miles in a very short time.

In terms of short-distance acceleration, he was considered one of the best among the Five Greats of the World thanks to this martial art. However, Ouyang Feng had only rushed less than twenty feet when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. That pretty boy was able to arrive first and block his way.

Ouyang Feng was ashamed of his own inferiority in terms of lightness skill alone, and felt extremely apprehensive.

"I, Ouyang Feng, have been out of the martial world for a long time. I never expected that such a young talent as you would emerge. At such a young age, you were able to kill Qiu Qianren. You are truly a formidable young man."

Wu Chengyu stopped Ouyang Feng. The two did not fight immediately, but instead sized each other up. In Ouyang Feng's eyes, Wu Chengyu was young and incredibly handsome, but he couldn't understand why he had such martial arts skills.

Wu Chengyu was more interested in Ouyang Feng. To be honest, of the Five Greats in the world, besides Hong Qigong, Ouyang Feng was the second one he had ever met.

Huang Yaoshi was someone his predecessor had met. When he transmigrated, he had already been expelled from Peach Blossom Island, and all his impressions came from the memories left by his predecessor.

I'm tired of seeing the old beggars, and I've complained about them countless times. Only Ouyang Feng is completely new to me. He's the Western Poison!

He was very tall, over 1.8 meters, with a large frame but not bulky. At this moment, Ouyang Feng was wearing a white robe with distinct Western Region characteristics and holding a snake staff with two strange snakes coiled on it.

His appearance was average; he had a long, thin face, sharp eyes, a large hooked nose, and a somewhat sinister expression, indicating that he was no ordinary person.

Its only distinctive feature is its rather long neck; if it were the same length as an average person, it might be less than 1.8 meters tall.

However, Wu Chengyu did not have any ill feelings towards Ouyang Feng, the number one villain in The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

This guy's only goal in life was to become the best in martial arts. He didn't care about gold, silver, beautiful wives, fame, or fortune. All the evil deeds he committed were related to martial arts. You could say he was wicked in a very direct and undisguised way.

Immediately after Wang Chongyang's death, he went to Chongyang Palace to steal the Nine Yin Manual. Later, in order to obtain the Nine Yin Manual, he kidnapped Huang Rong and killed the Five Heroes of Jiangnan on Peach Blossom Island.

However, this is the norm in the martial arts world. He is someone who has a clear goal and is willing to use any means to achieve it. But despite the great fame of the Western Poison, I remember that he rarely used poison against his opponents. No matter how many evil deeds he committed, he was never despicable.

In comparison, Qiu Qianren went to Dali and tried to harm Zhou Botong and Ying Gu's infant child, hoping that Duan Zhixing would use the One-Finger Divine Skill to save the child, and then try to assassinate Duan Zhixing when he lost all his power. Ouyang Feng was already quite ethical.

Ouyang Feng hadn't attacked Aku earlier, so Wu Chengyu only felt curiosity, not resentment or hatred. "I've long admired the name of Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison. To be honest, I've been very interested in Mr. Ouyang since I was very young. Unfortunately, we were clearly divided into friend and foe, so we couldn't be friends. But how can I let such a master slip through my fingers?"

Today, I, Wu, would like to experience Mr. Ouyang's Toad Kung Fu. I know that Toad Kung Fu requires the accumulation of internal energy, so please, Mr. Ouyang, give it a try.

Ouyang Feng thought to himself, "What an arrogant young man." His Toad Skill did indeed require him to accumulate energy before it could unleash its full power. When he fought against the other four masters, they knew the characteristics of the Toad Skill and never gave him too much time to accumulate energy. But this young man surnamed Wu seemed to be fearless.

However, Ouyang Feng dared not be careless in the slightest, but rather regarded it as a formidable enemy.

He was also at the level of microscopic perception. He had just glanced at the process of Qiu Qianren and Wu Chengyu fighting, and seeing Qiu Qianren lying on the ground with his arm bones completely shattered, he immediately realized that Wu Chengyu's physical strength must be astonishing.

For someone like Qiu Qianren, who has mastered Iron Sand Palm for decades, Ouyang Feng is no match for him in terms of the strength of his arms and bones alone. Therefore, if he were to engage in close combat with this young man, he knew he would not come out on top.

Now that Wu Chengyu is willing to give him enough time to accumulate internal energy, in his opinion, this young man's training time is too short, and he is definitely not as good as him.

Now he dares to use his own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, which is truly like a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger. But he doesn't hesitate either. Since the other party has taken the initiative to fight and given enough time, why be coy?

Ouyang Feng immediately lay down on the ground, propping himself up with his limbs. As his cheeks and belly began to expand and contract, the sound of frogs seemed to appear around him. Moreover, the sound grew louder and louder. At first, it was just a small frog, but gradually it became like a bullfrog.

Wu Chengyu dared not be negligent. He slowly circulated his internal energy and used the turbocharger power he had obtained earlier. This power circulated within his body, constantly increasing the pressure. He had not used it when fighting Qiu Qianren earlier.

His greatest reliance in allowing Ouyang Feng to continuously build up his energy lay in this: abandoning his physical strength to see if he could go head-to-head with one of the Five Greats.

In terms of sheer power, Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng are the top two among the Five Greats, especially Ouyang Feng, who maximizes his internal energy reserves. Huang Yaoshi's martial arts have never been known for their sheer power.

If he can block this attack, he will have no weaknesses among top masters, and may even be able to gain a slight advantage with his more advanced martial arts.

After a dozen or so breaths, Ouyang Feng had reached his limit in accumulating energy, as if his body would burst if he didn't unleash his inner force soon.

This is the weakness of the Toad Style Kung Fu: the wind-up is too long. I've never had such an opportunity when fighting the other four masters before, so today is a rare one.

With the final croak of a frog, the ground around Ouyang Feng began to tremble, small stones within three feet began to bounce, and even dust flew up.

Ouyang Feng suddenly leaped up, maintaining the frog posture in mid-air. Then, he pushed off with both legs and struck out with both palms simultaneously. A palm strike from a distance that Wu Chengyu had never seen before instantly reached his eyes.

Wu Chengyu had actually been gathering his strength, and he still used the Unblocking Heaven-Turning Seal. This time, there was no physical contact, so his physical strength could not be exerted. It was entirely his internal energy that was turbocharged and released along with the Heaven-Turning Seal.

Two enormous forces collided in mid-air; Ouyang Feng's Toad Style Kung Fu was overwhelming and incomparably fierce.

Wu Chengyu's Fantian Seal absorbed the essence of the Great Subduing Demon Fist, concentrating all his power in his fist and then striking it out using the Tianshan Six Yang Palm technique to manipulate Yin and Yang. In addition to the power being condensed to the extreme, it can also rotate Yin and Yang, adding even more power.

This time it wasn't a muffled thunderclap, but rather a loud clap of thunder in the winter. Ouyang Feng and Wu Chengyu retreated simultaneously, their internal organs also shaken, and it could be said that they both suffered some internal injuries.

The difference was that Ouyang Feng retreated seven or eight steps, while Wu Chengyu retreated a full ten steps, seemingly putting Wu Chengyu at a disadvantage.

However, Ouyang Feng showed no joy. This attack was the culmination of his entire power and should have severely injured Wu Chengyu. But Wu Chengyu seemed to be in a similar condition to him. If they were to fight again, Wu Chengyu would not give him so much time to gather his energy.

Wu Chengyu felt much more at ease. He was able to block Ouyang Feng's fully charged Toad Stance. Unless Wang Chongyang was resurrected, none of the Five Greats could rely on their deep internal strength to suppress him again.

If he were to fight Ouyang Feng again, he would naturally not give him another chance. Moreover, even if they were to fight head-on with internal energy, his body, after his transformation, would be far stronger than Ouyang Feng's.

After that move, both of them suffered internal injuries, but with his internal organs in perfect balance, he recovered after circulating his energy for a short while. Moreover, his bones and muscles were even more resilient than Ouyang Feng's, so even in a war of attrition, he could wear down his opponent.

Killing Qiu Qianren was nothing compared to the fact that this head-on battle with Ouyang Feng completely solidified Wu Chengyu's confidence.

"Mr. Ouyang is indeed extraordinary. Why don't you play with me some more, or let's see how many moves you can withstand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chengyu was about to take action. He wanted to leave Ouyang Feng there to avoid future trouble.

Seeing that he couldn't gain the upper hand, and with Hong Qigong and over two hundred young masters beside him, Ouyang Feng dared not linger and fight slowly. He immediately used his Instant Thousand Miles technique again to try and escape.

Wu Chengyu's lightness skill was absolutely the best in the world. Even if you traveled thousands of miles in an instant, you could not escape his pursuit. But at this moment, Hong Qigong exclaimed in surprise. It turned out that A Ku had fallen to the ground for some reason.

Wu Chengyu's heart tightened, and he immediately stopped in his tracks. He could only watch Ouyang Feng leave. For him, A'ku's safety was more important than anything else.

He flashed to A-Ku's side, who was lying in Hong Qigong's arms. Without saying a word, he picked A-Ku up and channeled his inner energy into A-Ku's body.

Looking at it this way, A-Ku's internal injuries are far more serious than his external injuries. He must have been injured multiple times by Qiu Qianren and then traveled all the way south from Hangzhou to Hubei, without any chance to heal. Now he finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Wu Chengyu glared at the old beggar: "I shouldn't have entrusted Aku to you."
