Simultaneous time travel, starting from Little Li Flying Dagger

Seeing the menacing Chu Ke, before the Heavenly Mystery Elder could even make a move, Ding Chengfeng had already caught up from behind.

"Are you Chuk?"

"I am Ding Chengfeng, the young master of the Ding family. Seeing Young Hero Chu, I feel a sudden urge to spar. I wonder if we could have a friendly exchange?"

Ding Chengfeng's eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit and anticipation. His trip to the border was originally because he had made a breakthrough and wanted to test his strength with Bai Tianyu.

Unexpectedly, after being turned away at the Bai family's house, he encountered the 'culprit' Chu Ke, which made him feel very excited.

But Chuk only felt irritated.

To fight against a master of the Heavenly Mystery Elder's caliber, one must concentrate fully, be filled with fighting spirit, and face the challenge with peak strength; how can one afford to be distracted?

Therefore, although Ding Chengfeng spoke very politely, befitting the name of a young master, Chu Ke had no mood to joke with him at this moment.

"Get out of here, unless you want to be in a wheelchair every time you have a sword duel in the future."

Chuk glanced at Ding Chengfeng, looking him up and down, and said coldly.

It has to be said that Ding Chengfeng will have his hamstrings severed when he fights Jing Wuming in the future, and Lu Chengfeng next door will also be crippled in both legs.

Chu Ke vaguely sensed the malice and mockery that the two masters, Jin Yong and Gu Long, had towards "Riding the Wind".

After being rebuked by Chu Ke, Ding Chengfeng was initially taken aback by his aura, but after a short while, a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

With such an aura, he must be a master!

He also believed that Bai Tianyu was too scared by Chu Ke to make a move.

But that was just Bai Tianyu!

How could I, the young master of the Ding family, be like him, intimidated into not daring to make a move?

This is the difference between Bai Tianyu and me, Ding Chengfeng!

The path of the sword is to move mountains, sever rivers, overturn seas, subdue demons, suppress monsters, command gods, pluck stars, destroy cities, and open the heavens!

Ding Chengfeng had made up his mind, and he drew his sword.

Sword, come!

He assumed a fighting stance and shouted, "Young Master Chu, please forgive me!"

Feeling the sword energy coming from behind him, Chu Ke sighed.

Ding Chengfeng truly embodies the image of a naive, self-important rich kid who's just starting out in the world and thinks he's unparalleled in swordsmanship.

Chuk immediately gave him a lesson in social practice.

Zhang Zhiwei's thug-like face resurfaced in my mind...

A sudden burst of powerful internal energy erupted, and a storm arose.

Chuk turned around and slapped Ding Chengfeng hard across the face.

The next moment, Ding Chengfeng's strength vanished instantly, transforming him into a second Bai Tianyong. Like a kite with a broken string, he was sent flying by the palm strike, crashing down like a bull, shattering and sending flying wooden tables and benches along his path.

He then flew backwards for several feet before crashing heavily to the ground, vomiting blood and looking utterly disheveled.

That's it...?

The entire hall of martial arts practitioners were so astonished by the scene that they were speechless.

Thinking about it, how could Ding Chengfeng be so brave with such meager skills?

The opponent is Chuk, whose battle record is absolutely incredible...

"Good!" A cheer rang out from the crowd.

The one who spoke was Ding Chengfeng's younger sister, Ding Baiyun.

The White Cloud Fairy looked down at her troublesome older brother and began to nag.

"How many times have I told you not to try to fight every expert you see? The reason people praise you is mostly because of the Ding family in Hebei."

"Now it's convenient, isn't it? People can't learn by being taught, but you only need to teach them once, right?"

Ding Chengfeng stood there dumbfounded, seemingly oblivious to his sister's mockery, his eyes fixed on Chu Ke.

The next moment, a sudden flash of insight struck him, as if a divine awakening had struck him, and he cried out:

"I get it!" Then he tilted his head to the side and fainted.

Ding Baiyun never expected her brother to be so humiliating. When she looked at Chu Ke, her face turned red all the way to her neck.

Chuk waved his hand and continued to look at the Heavenly Mystery Elder.

"It took some effort, but it's alright."

The challenge was palpable.

To everyone's surprise, the old man shook his head and said calmly, "Could we have a word?"

He then turned his head and glanced to the side.

His granddaughter, Sun Xiaohong, immediately understood. She took out some tobacco from the side, stuffed it into the pipe, and then took out a flint and steel and a piece of flint.

The old man with the secrets of heaven took out another piece of cotton paper, put tobacco in it, rolled it into a paper stick, and placed it aside. Finally, he picked up a flint and steel and lit the pipe.

Seeing this, Chuk went up and picked up the paper stick on the table.

The paper stick was rolled very finely and tightly, and the paper texture was evenly distributed, with absolutely no unevenness.

Chuk picked up the paper stick with two fingers and examined it carefully. At that moment, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets brought over his lit pipe.

With a "hiss," sparks flew everywhere.

The paper sticks have been set on fire.

"I'm old, but I've lived long enough to witness the rise and fall of countless powerful families. The key to all of this is nothing more than appearances and substance."

"I have also met many masters, such as Shen Tianjun, Chai Yuguan, Shen Lang, Wang Lianhua and others. They were all incredibly talented and dominated their era. After they all passed away, I never expected to become the number one in the world."

"Thanks to me, with the title of the best in the world, the Sun family of Luoyang naturally became the number one family in the martial arts world."

Chuk listened to the old man speaking slowly, feeling both confused and impressed, but also feeling the tobacco in his hand was very spicy.

The old man with the secrets of heaven exhaled a smoke ring and continued.

"So if it were ten years ago, and a master like you came to spar, I would have been eager to fight with my Heavenly Secret Staff, but that's not possible now."

"I have the entire Sun family behind me. If I lose, the Sun family will lose all face and dignity."

Sun Baifa, also known as the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, tapped his pipe as he spoke, his expression forlorn.

Having a family and relatives means having things to worry about.

When a person has something to care about, it's hard for them to be invincible.

Li Xunhuan was like this, and so was Sun Baifa.

Chuk sensed the helplessness and regret of an elderly man lamenting the lack of a successor in his family.

Who would have thought that the Heavenly Mystery Elder, who had dominated the weapons rankings for decades, would start to fear losing, dying, and the collapse of his reputation?

The greatest fear of a master is "not daring to fight," when inner demons lock down their realm, causing their martial arts to regress instead of advance.

Given this mindset, it's not hard to understand why he lost to Shangguan Jin Hong, who was ambitious and had the power to conquer the world.

Chu Ke sighed and said, "It seems we won't see the Heavenly Mystery Elder make a move again."

"The invincible Heavenly Secret Staff is probably about to become a thing of the past."

After finishing his cigarette, Chuck stubbed it out on the table with two fingers.

At this moment, the Heavenly Mystery Elder shook his head and said to Chu Ke,

"Before today, I truly had no desire to fight anyone again."

"But things might be different now."

Chuk's eyes lit up. Did he think this could be a whetstone for him to reach the peak again?

Regardless, does this mean he's finally willing to take action?!

Unexpectedly, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets glanced at Chu Ke, then looked at Sun Xiaohong, and exclaimed in a startling voice:

"If you can become a member of the Sun family, become the 'face' of the Sun family, then even if I, this old man, lose, so what?"
