I became a prince in a martial arts world.

"Swallows Carrying Spring" is the unique light-footed skill of the Flower-Picking Gentleman.

While not among the top in the martial arts world, they are still first-rate. Long-distance raids may be a bit of a weakness, but they are unique in their agility, especially their signature technique "Swallow Returns," which allows them to retain a force within their body and then change direction in mid-air.

On that day in Puning County, the Flower-Picking Prince used this move to avoid Hongzhao's Vajra Palm.

After being deduced from the tortoise shell, "Swallow Carrying Spring" not only continued to strengthen its inherent advantage of agility, but also increased its ability to sustain the breath return midway. Its unique technique "Swallow Returns" also changed from being able to turn once to being able to turn three times.

Wang Yu named it: Flying Swallow in Three Folds.

Of course, learning something doesn't mean you can use it immediately. Wang Yu is still in the familiarization stage and can only use it once for now, but that's enough when facing Wei Honggang alone.

"That little bastard actually learned some amazing light-body skills?"

Wei Honggang, being a graduate of the Great Vajra Temple, had a keen eye and immediately recognized Wang Yu's exceptional lightness skill. However, he was also full of confidence in himself.

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"

Wei Honggang shouted and suddenly sprang up, sweeping his iron rod horizontally, covering Wang Yu's lower left and right sides.

Wang Yu drew his sword again, the tip precisely touching the head of the staff. Using the momentum, he leaped into the air, and then a sky full of golden clouds appeared, revealing a lone figure.

After improving his lightness skill, Wang Yu planned to use Wei Honggang to hone his swordsmanship.

But Wei Honggang was not Narathu. The Vajra Subduing Demon Cudgel in his hand was stronger than Narathu's Eagle Beak Hoe. With a sweep of the fine iron cudgel, he shattered Wang Yu's Golden Cloud Lone Shadow, and with a move called Phoenix Nodding, he stabbed straight into Wang Yu's chest.

Wang Yu lightly touched the ground with his feet, his body seemingly weightless like willow catkins. He retreated with the force of the wind generated by Wei Honggang's iron rod, his long sword circling and twisting, winding around the iron rod, and slashing towards Wei Honggang's wrist.

With a flick of his long staff, Wei Honggang had encountered this move countless times. He dispersed the force of Wang Yu's longsword with a shake of his staff, and then struck Wang Yu's shoulder diagonally.

Wang Yu slid his longsword to the side, his body flashed in the opposite direction, and with a light tap of his foot, he floated backward again.

Wei Honggang exerted force, raising the iron rod and sweeping it towards Wang Yu's legs, but Wang Yu twisted it backward in mid-air, dodging it again.

……

Wang Yu ran and fought, while Wei Honggang chased and fought. The two pursued and fled, but their speed was not slow at all. At least Zhao Shan and Zhao He, who were following behind them, could only faintly hear the sounds of fighting, and even the sounds of fighting were getting quieter and quieter. They could only follow Wei Honggang's trail all the way.

Wang Yu used his lightness skill and the secret technique of "Flying Swallow Triple Turn" to circle around Wei Honggang and used the first five moves of the Seven Styles of the Setting Sun in turn, but he did not succeed. This shows that Wei Honggang's martial arts skills are indeed very high.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Wang Yu did not take advantage of Wei Honggang's several exposed weaknesses, because he was unsure whether Wei Honggang's weaknesses were genuine or just a ploy to lure him out.

Anyway, Wang Yu wasn't in a hurry. As the saying goes, those who are good at fighting in the past first make themselves invincible, and then wait for the enemy to become vulnerable. In any case, he was already familiar with "Swallow Carrying Spring" and his lightness skill was far superior to Wei Honggang's, so he was already in an invincible position.

But Wei Honggang became increasingly anxious because he discovered that despite the long chase, Wang Yu showed no signs of exhaustion. On the contrary, Wei Honggang found that his own attacks, though powerful and sweeping, not only depleted his internal energy but also required a great deal of physical exertion.

He had already exposed several weaknesses, the biggest one being his back vitals, but Wang Yu just wouldn't make a move, making him curse Wang Yu in his heart as a coward.

"Coward!" Wei Honggang finally blurted out.

"He really is a coward." Wang Yu nodded. "He was slashed in the face and endured the anger for more than ten years before daring to say a few harsh words after the other person died."

To be honest, I've never seen or even heard of someone so cowardly in my life. What's the point of living for someone like that? They might as well just drown themselves in their own pee.

"Isn't that the tyrannical, bloodthirsty, and hot-tempered Chief Wei Tuo, the Vajra Poison Hand?" Wang Yu teased.

"You little bastard! Once I capture you and bring you back to my stronghold, I'll skin you alive and burn you alive. If I let you die a comfortable death, I'll change my name to Compassionate Weituo!"

"As the saying goes, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. I think the world misunderstands you. How about changing your name to Cowardly Weituo? It's just a bit of an injustice to Weituo, the Buddhist protector."

"You little bastard! I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"

"I think the world has misjudged you," Wang Yu said seriously. "The world thinks you are ruthless, cruel, and bloodthirsty, a vicious person."

But I think your tough and violent personality is just a protective shell; you're just using a tough exterior to hide your sensitive and fragile heart.

Am I right?

"You guessed right, Mom..."

"Chief Wei, if I may ask, did you experience any traumatic events in your childhood, such as being easily bullied, or being severely bullied by someone?"

Wang Yu interrupted Wei Honggang, "Did this cause you severe psychological trauma, turning you into a coward who needs to use a tough personality and cruel methods to protect yourself?"

Wei Honggang's eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaving, as if he wished he could use his Vajra Finger to pierce Wang Yu's chest and tear him in two.

"Hmm." Wang Yu said with a serious expression, "Not bad, it seems my words have touched your soul. I won't say more, you'll have to get out of your psychological shadow on your own."

I believe in you. With your abilities, you will definitely be able to break free from this shell that's confining you. Then the world will have one less cruel and bloodthirsty Wei Tuo, and one more sensitive, fragile, and cowardly Wei Tuo.

"Amitabha!" Wang Yu raised one palm and gave Wei Honggang a somewhat awkward bow. "In this way, both of us will have made a great contribution and will be able to become Buddhas in our next life."

"You son of a bitch!" Wei Honggang cursed, "I think you deserve to go to the eighteenth level of the Tongue-Pulling Hell!"

Wang Yu shook his head, then seriously discussed with Wei Honggang, "If there really are eighteen levels of hell and six paths of reincarnation, I still want to go to the Asura realm. I've heard that the women in the Asura realm are all stunning beauties with enchanting figures and gorgeous appearances, which would be most suitable for me."

"By the way, you cowardly Weituo, you used to practice Buddhism too, even though you dropped out halfway through. You should know some inside information, right? Do you know how you should cultivate in this life if you want to go to the Asura realm in your next life?"

"Oh dear!"

Wei Honggang was almost driven mad with anger. He frantically circulated his inner energy and danced around with his fine iron staff, creating afterimages as he unleashed the essence of the Vajra Subduing Demon Staff, almost completely enveloping Wang Yu.

Wang Yu retreated quickly, using the Flying Swallow Triple Fold technique to dodge Wei Honggang's blow. However, Wei Honggang's internal energy circulated, and his arm swung again in a way that defied common sense, sacrificing his meridians and muscles to deliver another blow.

Wang Yu raised an eyebrow, placed his longsword on the staff, and felt waves of energy emanating from the staff, which then vibrated through his arm.

Wang Yu's eyes narrowed, and his longsword trembled in sync. Although the force of the incoming attack was dissipated, his arm still felt a little sore.

"break!"

Although it was a case of injuring the enemy three hundred while losing a thousand of his own, it did manage to hold off Wang Yu. Seeing that he had succeeded in his attack, Wei Honggang swept his iron rod across the room and struck him in the waist.

The long iron staff swept across, but missed. Wang Yu dodged it with a move called "Iron Bridge," then stepped on the ground and slid away like a swallow skimming the water.

"Thump!"

The iron rod slammed into the ground, stirring up countless fallen leaves and dust, but it didn't even scratch Wang Yu's clothes.

"No, I am a prince of the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion, and you are the chieftain of Qishan Jingang Village. I can understand that we have a grudge, and I can also understand that you chased after me to beat me."

Wang Yu asked, "But our feud isn't serious enough to be a matter of life and death, is it? You're the leader of a stronghold, you eat meat and drink wine to your heart's content. I didn't kill your parents or sleep with your wife, so why are you risking your life?"

Wei Honggang didn't say anything, he just kept waving the stick.

The two chased each other all the way from afternoon to evening, almost breaking through the forest. Wang Yu was like a swallow in flight, but Wei Honggang was like a bulldozer, crashing through the trees and startling a flock of birds.

After fighting for so long, not only was Wei Honggang's internal energy greatly depleted, but even Wang Yu, who was able to recover his energy, felt his internal energy was now empty and somewhat insufficient.

Neither of them expected the other to last so long, but they both sensed that the other was also about to give up.

Wei Honggang's staff technique weakened, and Wang Yu's sword was no longer sharp.

As the sun sets, it casts a golden glow that shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

In this golden light, Wei Honggang, with his sharp eyes, noticed that the trees in the distance were gradually thinning out, and beyond that lay a grassland plain.

"Hahaha!" Wei Honggang laughed loudly, wielding his iron rod left and right, blocking Wang Yu's escape to either side, forcing him out of the woods in the distance. "Without the trees to block your way, where do you think you'll run now!"

Without the cover of trees, the weakness of "Swallow Carrying Spring"—while agile, it lacks speed—becomes apparent. Wei Honggang believed that if he exerted all his strength, he could catch up with Wang Yu and defeat him.

This was, of course, his misconception.

Wang Yu was already planning to speed away after leaving the woods, to let him experience what despair was like.

"Whoosh—"

Wang Yu flew out of the woods like a swallow, as if he had run out of strength.

"boom--"

Wei Honggang also charged out like a bear, already prepared to give chase.

Suddenly leaving the woods, the world was bathed in golden light, and the setting sun shone directly into their eyes, causing them to squint and feel momentarily disoriented.

Wang Yufu, inspired by a sudden inspiration, executed the Flying Swallow Triple Turn, abruptly turning around in mid-air and charging towards Wei Honggang. The long sword in his hand almost transformed into a streak of slanting sunlight, its tip pointing out a patch of the setting sun. The sword light, accompanied by the evening glow, was reflected directly into Wei Honggang's eyes.

Seven Styles of Sunset: The Reflection of the Setting Sun!

Life is born from stillness, fleeting and unexpected, yet it can lead to victory!

Wei Honggang was already squinting from the glare of the setting sun, and when the sword light flashed again, he couldn't help but close his eyes. But the remaining sight still shocked him. He raised the fine iron rod in his hand and twirled it in a flurry of motion.

However, he had already injured his arm when he traded his injury for another, and his internal energy was mostly depleted. Now that things had happened so suddenly, he was a beat too slow. As he swung his long staff, he felt a chill on his neck.

Wei Honggang slowed down his movements as he wielded the long stick. He held the stick in his right hand and touched his neck with his left. When he looked at it, his hand was covered in blood.

The next moment, the severed aorta burst open completely under the pressure of the internal force, and blood gushed out like a fountain, making a "hissing" sound.

Wei Honggang suddenly turned around and saw Wang Yu standing behind him, looking at the long sword in his hand, and said quietly, "I have given you many chances to leave. Since you don't want to leave, then stay here."

Wei Honggang's eyes revealed confusion, regret, resentment, and anger, before he completely lost his spirit and collapsed to the ground.

In the last moments before he lost consciousness, he seemed to hear the voice of "Brother Yu" calling from afar.
