Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 188 Capturing the Beautiful Heroine of Song

"Although my younger sister is quite skilled, she lacks experience. I'm afraid..."

The young man said with a hint of reluctance.

"If one cannot even weather this trial, how can one be a member of the Mohist school?"

The middle-aged man spoke in a cold and authoritative tone.

"This……"

"Go down, don't do anything reckless, everything should be for the greater good."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, shooing the young man out.

Once everyone had left, his expression suddenly darkened, and he sighed deeply, saying, "The Ruins of Return will likely merge with this realm soon..."

"Heavenly Mystery Saint, where exactly is the way out you speak of?"

……

Guixu Realm, Yunfu Prison.

An ice sculpture stood silently in the corner, and one could vaguely make out that a young man was sealed inside.

"Uncle-Master, you've been away from the sect for so long, do you think Junior Sister Qian'er might have fallen for someone else?"

"Uncle-Master, why is our Sixteen Forms of Chasing Clouds completely useless? Is it because Uncle-Master and I haven't mastered them?"

"Master, Master, Uncle-Master, it moved! It moved!"

In the cage opposite the ice sculpture, the talkative young martial artist stared wide-eyed ahead, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Unfortunately, he was so habitually talkative that no one in the entire cell who could breathe took his words seriously.

Naturally, no one responded.

"Uncle-Master, it's true."

The young man woke up, hurriedly turned around, and quickly walked to the shadowy corner of the wall, where he pulled out a middle-aged man dressed in shabby clothes.

"look……"

The middle-aged man was about to scold him for disturbing his sleep when he suddenly noticed the ice sculpture opposite him.

His expression froze for a moment, his finger, which was halfway extended, was suddenly pulled back, and at the same time he covered the young man's mouth and dragged him into the shadows of the cell.

"shut up!"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but mutter under his breath, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

The young man wasn't stupid; he'd just gone a bit mad from spending so much time in this dark and gloomy place, and now he'd been startled by his uncle's words.

Reacted immediately.

Of all the ice sculptures in this cell, each with a name and a surname, which one could escape on its own?
The owner of the ice sculpture in the opposite cell was able to melt the ice covering his body and return to life.

What kind of strength is this?
They're still shouting and yelling here, don't they know how they're going to die?
Just as the two were waiting anxiously, a figure suddenly appeared at the cell door. With a casual gesture, he melted the iron lock on the cell door in two.

"Which sect or school do you two belong to?"

“Senior, we are disciples of the Quanzhen Sect. We didn’t see anything.”

A bead of cold sweat appeared on the middle-aged master's forehead. He hadn't expected that the other party would directly target the two of them, uncle and nephew.

Do you want to go back?

"Senior, can you take us out of here?"

"Ten out of ten chances of death, one in ten chance, dare you give it a try?"

"Of course I would be very grateful, thank you very much, senior."

This middle-aged martial uncle wasn't stupid; seeing that the other party said this, he naturally wouldn't disagree.

"very good!"

The young figure nodded, and his fingers quickly tapped the two of them several times, releasing them from the binding spells.

Then, with a wave of his hand, as if squeezing a chick, he grabbed the two people in the hands of the giant Sumeru Buddha, turned around, and disappeared from the cell like a ghost.

"he……"

"them……"

The others in the cell stared in astonishment at the scene, but after a moment they sneered, "They really don't know their own limitations. They probably won't even know how they died."

"I have been in this cell for nearly thirty years, and not a single person has ever escaped."

"This is the old witch's territory; no one can escape."

Although they mocked and ridiculed them, not one of them dared to speak out or complain to the guards.

Inside the cell, Zhao Rui instantly activated the Six-Line Enchanting Immortal Technique, and the guards ignored him, allowing them to escape from the cell.

Stepping out of the prison cell, a bright and clear view unfolded before me, the radiant glow of the sunset bathing the entire city of Weishui in a magnificent and colorful garment.

The towering city walls resemble a crystal bowl, holding various buildings that radiate dazzling light.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Rui used the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique, instantly unleashing the power of his domain. Every rustle of grass within a ten-mile radius was imprinted in his mind.

This feeling of having complete control over everything made Zhao Rui feel quite exhilarated.

The spring rain was falling softly, and every raindrop and every wisp of spring breeze contained his Six-Line Enchanting Immortal Technique.

In this realm, everyone will fall under his control.

Zhao Rui swaggered around with the two of them, heading straight for the nearest city gate.

They walked through the city gate passage that stretched for miles in a grand manner.

Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly!
Let’s go!

Zhao Rui raised his sword and, like a long rainbow, disappeared outside Weishui City.

Half an hour later!

Alarms sounded throughout the prison of the Yun Mansion in Weishui City, and all the guards sprang into action.

A moment later, two middle-aged women from the Yun family looked at each other in disbelief and said, "They ran away? Go and report to the Ancestor immediately!"

After the two met the old ancestor who had finished eating and was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard, they told him about Zhao Rui's escape.

The usually calm and collected matriarch of the Yun family suddenly changed color, got up, and rushed to the prison.

When she saw the ice on the ground that had turned into water stains, her eyes narrowed like swords, and a cold glint appeared.

"What an amazing kid! Could it be that he has learned my Nine Nether Profound Water Scripture?"

"If this child cannot be used by me, then he should not be kept any longer."

"Pass down the order to closely monitor the situation in Song territory, and report back immediately if there are any changes!"

"Yes, ancestor!"

Everyone bowed in agreement.

Just then, Mo Ling'er rushed over. When she saw that Zhao Rui had escaped, she felt extremely conflicted.

"The thief has escaped again!"

I was both amused and exasperated, yet also somewhat relieved. But beyond that relief, I secretly regretted it.

This time, I'm afraid I've really offended the petty thief.

"I clearly just wanted to play a trick on you and then go back to Earth with you. How did it turn out like this?"

Mo Ling'er felt a deep bitterness in her heart.

"If he has no feelings for you, kill him!"

The old ancestor glanced at him sideways and said indifferently.

"Yes, ancestor!"

Mo Ling'er bowed her head and agreed, but she was already filled with regret.

……

The vast universe, the boundless heavens!
On the boundless plain, strange and ancient trees stand side by side. Although they do not form a forest, their enormous size allows them to occupy their own space.

In the distance, strange beasts were running, creating plumes of dust that scattered in all directions.

Zhao Rui darted a thousand miles before finally releasing the two men he was holding.

Both of them are at the Dharma Aspect realm, and while they cannot appear out of thin air, they can at least stay in the air briefly.

The two, now free from control, quickly circulated their inner energy to stabilize themselves. "Greetings, senior! I am He Wenhua, and this is my junior nephew, Tao Yuansheng. Thank you for saving our lives, senior."

"Hmm, do you know where the Qingcheng Sect is located?"

Zhao Rui asked.

"Senior, are you from the Qingcheng Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the two were overjoyed. It turned out that they belonged to the righteous path of the martial arts world, and their worries were finally put to rest.

"good."

Zhao Rui nodded and said that since the two factions had been merged, the news had naturally reached Guixu, since the people of Guixu Qingcheng would all be returning to Blue Star in the future.

"Qingcheng Mountain is not in this area and is far away. Senior, why don't you rest at my Quanzhen Sect for a while and then continue your journey another day?"

He Wenhua introduced the locations of the two sects and then invited Zhao Rui to visit the Quanzhen Sect.

Zhao Rui did not refuse. What was he after, traveling from the coast to the inland?
Isn't the goal simply to find someone from the sect and use that opportunity to return to Earth?

"Can!"

Zhao Rui nodded, and the two were overjoyed. They quickly descended and used their lightness skills to lead the way. The three of them then sped towards Song territory.

"Ahead lies Tiger Leap Cliff, the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty. Senior, we must be careful."

The Guixu territory here is jointly managed by three forces: the Guixu Dynasty, composed of visitors from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and the Central Plains Dynasty, composed of visitors from the late Song Dynasty.

The Central Plains dynasties were divided into two groups: the remnants of nomadic forces, namely the Mongols and the Western Xia, and the orthodox Central Plains forces, composed of the martial arts community of the Central Plains and the soldiers of the Song court.

On the territory, the Great Zhou held an absolute advantage, and the overall situation was one of aggressive offense.

The Shang Dynasty, however, had already declined and had to abandon large swathes of inland territory, retreating to the border between the Central Plains dynasties and the Shang Dynasty, barely surviving.

Even so, their strength was still far greater than that of the Central Plains dynasties, and the difference in the martial prowess of their soldiers was extremely obvious.

Fortunately, the martial arts world of the Central Plains was not to be underestimated. Although the number of top masters among them was less than that of their opponents, their strength was not inferior.

With the Zhou dynasty's momentum so strong, the Shang dynasty dared not go too far.

This stalemate lasted for one or two hundred years.

Later, when the Guixu spiritual energy channel appeared, the Shang Dynasty seized the opportunity. More than a hundred years ago, they had already sent people to secretly infiltrate Blue Star and, taking advantage of the spiritual energy revival, laid out plans for the Central Asian countries.

In fact, the main enemy facing Blue Star China right now is the powerful merchants of Guixu, not the most powerful people of Da Zhou.

These merchants are ambitious and have a strong desire to occupy Blue Star and relocate the entire planet there.

It was the combined efforts of various powerful factions within the Central Plains that thwarted their delusions and allowed them to make early arrangements for the Chinese imperial court.

That's how the current situation came about.

The three concealed themselves and cautiously moved forward slowly.

Along the way, there were many checkpoints, some belonging to the Great Shang Dynasty and others to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There were frequent standoffs between the armies, with smoke signals flying everywhere.

One moment a hundred-meter-tall beast would appear and charge at the camp, the next a torrential downpour would blot out the sky.

It could be two top masters battling in the clouds, unleashing a thunderous roar, or a troop of soldiers charging into battle.

Fortunately, Guixu is a large territory, so a war involving hundreds or thousands of people is nothing.

If this happened on Earth, it would have already escalated into a major conflict.

Zhao Rui felt as if he had watched the Investiture of the Gods in his previous life.

"What's the deal with those wild men?"

As Zhao Rui followed the two to several places, he suddenly discovered a group of wild men, each several tens of meters tall, appearing on the battlefield.

He couldn't help but be surprised.

"They are soldiers of the Great Zhou, extremely bloodthirsty and fierce. It is said that a capable person from the Great Zhou subdued a group of barbarians."

He Wenhua said.

"They really have some skill in subduing the Mang tribe."

Zhao Rui couldn't help but praise.

He had witnessed the strength of the Mang tribe, and it was truly terrifying.

Unexpectedly, the people of the Great Zhou were able to tame the Mang tribe.

As a result, the pressure on the Shang Dynasty and the martial arts world of the Central Plains will inevitably increase.

The three of them cautiously took a detour, not daring to make a sound.

After walking for about ten hours, they suddenly heard a sharp shout from the other side, followed by a clash of swords.

"Someone is in danger; they appear to be martial arts practitioners from the Central Plains."

The three were passing through a dense forest when they suddenly heard shouts coming from within. Judging from the voices, they were clearly speaking the Central Plains dialect.

Upon hearing this, Tao Yuansheng exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't be reckless!"

He Wenhua immediately stopped Tao Wensheng's actions, shook his head and whispered.

The rights and wrongs, and the grudges, are still unclear, so we should not rashly reveal our whereabouts.

Zhao Rui stealthily moved several hundred meters, hiding in the tree canopy, and looked down.

But then they saw a group of soldiers from the Guixu Shang Dynasty fighting fiercely against three female warriors dressed as martial arts masters from the Central Plains.

These three female warriors were tall and beautiful, and their martial arts skills were also quite remarkable, all at the level of a grandmaster.

However, the soldiers of the Shang Dynasty on the other side were stronger, each of them being a Xiantian martial artist, though not as skilled as a Grandmaster.

But the difference isn't significant.

The so-called innate martial artist is someone whose body has been baptized by true qi, and who is born with the talent to learn martial arts.

Any random martial arts technique can transform them completely.

These martial artists, though not as strong as Grandmasters, are extremely powerful individually. If there are more than ten of them, they can even contend with Grandmasters.

Looking at the hundreds of Guixu warriors in the arena, Zhao Rui couldn't help but use the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique, instantly forming the Spring Breeze and Rain Domain.

The raindrops fell silently from the sky, colorless and odorless, and the spiritual arts contained within them were ethereal and intangible, penetrating everywhere.

"Photography!"

Zhao Rui let out a low shout and, using the Spring Breeze and Rain Domain, used his stealth technique to immediately grab the three women and gracefully retreat from the woods.

"We're on the same side, don't be afraid!"

The three women were locked in fierce combat when they suddenly found themselves being grabbed by a large hand, and they were immediately terrified.

But this person was incredibly skilled; he had already struck the pressure points of all three of them beforehand.

They didn't even have a chance to shout themselves hoarse.

After rescuing the three women, Zhao Rui quickly led He Wenhua and his nephew away, swords flashing, and fled nearly a hundred miles away.

Although the three women's acupoints were sealed, they remained conscious.

They saw that Zhao Rui had not only kidnapped the three of them, but also brought two young martial artists with him, both of whom were free.

Judging from their attire, the two seemed to be from the Song Dynasty.

My fear lessened a little.

In this world of Guixu, the most terrifying thing for a woman is not fighting on the battlefield, but being captured by wild warriors.

That was an experience worse than death.

After traveling for another ten miles or so, Zhao Rui stopped and released the three women.

As soon as the three women escaped, they immediately formed a three-person formation and looked warily at Zhao Rui and his two companions.

Zhao Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, but remained silent.

Among the three women, a pretty girl with a round face saw that the three men were imposing and had extraordinary bearing despite their tattered clothes. She quickly abandoned her defenses, bowed to Zhao Rui, and said: "Thank you for saving my life, senior."

"No need to be polite. How did the three of you end up fighting with the people of Guixu?"

Zhao Rui said calmly, since the other party was sensible, he naturally had less to say.

It's always better to deal with smart people than stupid ones.

“Senior, this is a long story.” The woman in the lead immediately began to recount her experiences over the past period.
