Chapter 78 War begins

The Azure Sea Tide Song is one of the most powerful martial arts techniques on Peach Blossom Island. Huang Yaoshi never passed it down to him. Lu Chengfeng only knows the melody. The true secrets of the Azure Sea Tide Song, such as the method of attacking the mind with sound waves and the path of internal energy circulation, are completely unknown to Lu Chengfeng.

The performance of the "Azure Sea Tide" was merely a greeting to Chen Mei and Lu Chengfeng, serving as an opening remark. It both terrified them and satisfied Lu Chengfeng's self-proclaimed scholarly air, setting a high-class tone for the impending battle.

Most of the people present felt that this Master Lu did indeed have the air of a reclusive sage.

Only people like Wu Chengyu secretly grumbled: Playing the flute before making an appearance to create atmosphere is really Huang Yaoshi's most frequently used technique. Lu Laosi is really imitating Huang Yaoshi in every way, but he is still lacking in every aspect. At least he does not have the style of the Eastern Heretic.

One was indeed a reclusive sage, aloof and unconventional, while the other carried a hint of the pedantry and pretentiousness of a Confucian scholar.

However, now was not the time to continue criticizing Lu Chengfeng. Wu Chengyu closed his eyes, sensed for a while, and then turned to say something to Lu Zhiyi and the others.

Then he pushed through the crowd and walked to Lu Chengfeng's side.

Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng arrived at the valley entrance. Mei Chaofeng had already reset Chen Xuanfeng's dislocated shoulder, and his condition had improved. The two of them confronted Lu Chengfeng. Although they were far outnumbered, their ferocity was in no way inferior.

When Chen Xuanfeng saw Wu Chengyu step forward, his eyes were filled with apprehension, subtly signaling to Mei Chaofeng to be careful.

Lu Chengfeng was interrupted by Chen Mei and the other two while playing the flute, and they even mocked him. Now he looked a little embarrassed.

He held the flute in his right hand and gently waved his left, instantly creating the sound of bowstrings in mid-air. Then, dozens of whistling sounds, accompanied by flames, echoed through the valley.

The long arrows were not aimed at Chen Mei and her companion, but rather spread throughout the space surrounding the valley. The rockets shot into the surrounding mountains, and the burning flames dispelled the darkness in the vicinity, completely exposing both sides to each other.

"Senior Brother Chen, Senior Sister Mei, it's been so many days. I've been thinking about you day and night, unable to sleep or find peace," Lu Chengfeng said through gritted teeth, each word filled with hatred.

"All this talk is just empty pretense, Lu Laosi. Did he really send you to arrest us?"
Now that you've seen us, do you still dare to sit comfortably in this sedan chair? When were you ever a match for any of us on Peach Blossom Island?

Feng Mofeng and Wu Mianfeng are still young, but what about Qu Lingfeng? You think you can capture us all by yourself with these good-for-nothings? You're seriously underestimating us."

It was Mei Chaofeng who spoke at this moment. After the two of them escaped from Peach Blossom Island, they stayed far away from everything related to Peach Blossom Island and had no idea what changes had taken place on Peach Blossom Island.

Chen Xuanfeng had already met her, and Wu Chengyu's attention was focused on Mei Chaofeng. Mei Chaofeng on Peach Blossom Island was even more beautiful than Feng Heng. Feng Heng was superior in terms of temperament, which was elegant and refined, like a secluded orchid in a valley, while Mei Chaofeng was as beautiful as peach blossoms and plums, and charming and graceful.

However, the current Mei Chaofeng is very different from the one Wu Chengyu remembers. She has turned the Taoist martial arts into evil secret techniques and has also taken arsenic to increase its toxicity. The current Mei Chaofeng's facial features are slightly deformed, and her temperament is sinister and fierce. Her eyes are filled with resentment, and her face is covered with a layer of bluish aura. She is no longer the same as she used to be.

"It has nothing to do with me that you two escaped from Peach Blossom Island by having an affair, but why did you steal Master's scriptures and implicate us even more... In a fit of anger, Master severed the Achilles tendons of me and Senior Brother Qu, and even broke the legs of the two youngest junior brothers, and banished us from Peach Blossom Island."

It's bad enough that you're both disabled, but it's pitiful that we brothers, who were loyal to our master, were expelled from the sect because of you two wicked children, and are unable to fulfill our filial duties to our master.

"Chen Xuanfeng, Mei Chaofeng, if you two surrender now and come back to Peach Blossom Island with me to beg our master for forgiveness and punishment, I will spare your lives. Otherwise, this Little Spirit Mountain will be your burial ground."

Having done all that, Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng would never dare to face Huang Yaoshi again. They were terrified of him to the core. However, the news they heard now brought them a pleasant surprise. "Haha, so your legs are crippled. You still dare to appear in front of me? I was already somewhat wary of Qu Lingfeng, but I might have to use him to practice my Nine Yin White Bone Claw in the future."

At this moment, the martial arts figures behind Lu Chengfeng could no longer contain themselves. A burly man with thick, bushy hair and beard, his shirt open in the dead of winter, revealing his dark chest hair, held a battle axe in each hand, and had no more patience for the conversation between Lu Chengfeng and the Black Wind Duo.

"You two evil heretics! My brother was learning martial arts at the martial arts school when you captured him and forced him to practice. He ended up with a mangled corpse. Today, I, Sai Li Kui, will tear you to pieces and chop you into mincemeat."

After saying that, he brandished his axe and charged forward. With him leading the way, the people around him also brandished their weapons and kept shouting curses.

Some had their sons murdered, others had their masters killed; all those summoned by Lu Chengfeng today harbored deep hatred for the Black Wind Duo, and each of them showed no mercy in their attacks.

The valley was narrow and they couldn't move around freely. A total of seven or eight people surrounded Chen Mei and her companion, and the others couldn't get involved for the time being and could only watch.

This is when the difference between the disciples of Peach Blossom Island and ordinary martial arts practitioners becomes apparent.

Chen Xuanfeng suffered losses at every turn at Wu Chengyu's hands, largely because Wu Chengyu's fighting style was very different from the current martial arts styles. Chen Xuanfeng was caught off guard and suffered losses and lost the initiative right from the start.

However, the martial arts skills of the people attacking him were far inferior to those of Peach Blossom Island, and their moves had too many flaws. Although they seemed to be fighting desperately, they were completely helpless against the two of them.

The martial arts of Peach Blossom Island are based on lightness and agility. Chen Mei and her companion's lightness and footwork were truly extraordinary. They moved easily through the encirclement of several people and the clash of various weapons. In the firelight, the weapons drew streaks of cold light, but they couldn't even touch the hem of their clothes.

Chen Xuanfeng used the Splitting Palm, while Mei Chaofeng used the Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm. One was as fierce as an axe, and the other as sharp as a sword. Their palm forces were unrestrained, occasionally interspersed with the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. In just a few moves, everyone who was attacking was injured.

A scream was heard, and Sai Li Kui swung his two axes like wheels, making several moves, but Chen Xuanfeng dodged them all. At this moment, his strength was waning and he had just regained his strength when Chen Xuanfeng seized the opportunity to close in.

Sai Li Kui's left arm was pierced by Chen Xuanfeng's five fingers. Before he could even scream, another move, the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, came straight at his crown.

Just as Sai Li Kui was about to die on the spot, Lu Chengfeng, who had been watching from the sidelines, slapped the handles of the sedan chair with both hands, leaped into the air, and instantly appeared next to Sai Li Kui, blocking the fatal blow with his left palm.

Not only that, his left palm also took the opportunity to pinch Chen Xuanfeng's wrist, making an orchid-like gesture, and with a light and detached touch, attacked four acupoints in succession: Neiguan, Yangchi, Shenmen, and Lieque.

Chen Xuanfeng's move was too old, and his palm couldn't be withdrawn in time. Despite his efforts to dodge, Lu Chengfeng still managed to strike his Shenmen acupoint, leaving his arm powerless for a moment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Chengfeng grabbed Chen Xuanfeng's hand and used the opponent's left arm to propel himself into mid-air. He then transformed his right hand into a sword and unleashed the Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm, attacking Chen Xuanfeng's head from top to bottom.

Chen Xuanfeng's right hand suddenly went numb and powerless, while his left hand barely managed to block Lu Chengfeng's attack.

At this moment, Sai Li Kui, who had just closed his eyes to await death, finally reacted. Blood was streaming down his left side, and he forcefully raised his axe with his right hand to chop at Chen Xuanfeng's waist.

 It will probably be available the day after tomorrow. I, the AI, will still need to keep typing for the next two days.
