In a martial arts game, the protagonist steals the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) at t

Wang Cheng sent men to Wuying Hall to select 600 elite soldiers. He then set off for Hangzhou with Huang Rong, Xiaolongnu, and Yue Lingshan in a grand procession.

These 600 men were the elite of the Shadowless Hall, all clad in armor and armed with superior bows and crossbows.

Moreover, they were crossbows capable of rapid-fire. These people walked, while Wang Cheng, Xiaolongnu, and a few others rode in a carriage.

They set off for Hangzhou very quickly, and after several days, they finally arrived in Hangzhou together with Ren Yingying.

The group spent half a day finding the location of Plum Manor and immediately surrounded it.

The people from Plum Manor ran out; there were a total of twenty or thirty people inside.

Wang Cheng saw that there were only six or seven people with high martial arts skills, while the rest were just average.

The Four Friends of Plum Manor have emerged.

Wang Cheng encountered four highly skilled martial artists. Of course, "highly skilled" refers to their skill level in relation to ordinary people. To Wang Cheng, their martial arts skills were quite impressive.

While it can't be said to be insignificant, it's certainly not worth mentioning.

The four friends of Plum Manor introduced themselves one by one.

Wang Cheng met four friends who shared the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting: Huang Zhonggong, Hei Baizi, Tu Biweng, and Danqingsheng.

There were several other experts from Plum Manor. Wang Cheng said, "I am Wang Cheng, the Shadowless Young Master. I have come to Plum Manor to save Senior Ren Woxing. I hope you will not stop me."

Otherwise, I might have to start a big fight with everyone, and it wouldn't be good if someone got hurt.

"I am the top lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, and I have a certain reputation in the Song Dynasty."

I hope you will all give me some face and let Ren Woxing go, so as not to put me in a difficult position.

Huang Zhonggong angrily said, "Bullshit! You shameless bastard! Although you are a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, you are still a scoundrel here with me."

You don't have the face to make me release Ren Woxing, a major sinner of our Sun Moon Cult.

If you're capable, show me your skills; don't try to impress me with words.

If you're so capable, then fight us brothers. Don't send your lousy soldiers. The four of us will fight you.

Let's see just how amazing you really are.

Hei Baizi, Dan Qingsheng, and others all agreed, wanting to fight Wang Cheng in accordance with the rules of the martial arts world, with real swords and spears.

Let's see just how powerful Wang Cheng really is.

Dan Qingsheng said, "So you are the famous Shadowless Young Master Wang Cheng. I heard that you killed three villains and your martial arts are extremely powerful."

I'm a little unconvinced, but I know I can't beat you alone, so I've swallowed my pride and come with my brothers to experience your skills firsthand.

The four friends of Plum Manor all share the same idea: although they might not fight together, they certainly have no intention of fighting Wang Cheng one-on-one.

Wang Cheng laughed loudly: "I was entrusted with this task today, and I must come to rescue Ren Woxing. Even if Dongfang Bubai came in person, I would still pluck a few of his whiskers off."

The two sides couldn't agree on anything, and after the Four Friends of Plum Manor finished speaking, they immediately started fighting with Wang Cheng.

The four friends of Plum Manor first attacked together, with Dan Qingsheng and Tu Biweng. Dan Qingsheng's swordsmanship was like painting, with sword shadows filling the sky and his attack speed was terrifying.

Bald Brush Elder's martial arts skills far surpassed those of Dan Qingsheng. His pair of iron pens were dipped in specially made poisonous ink, which could be applied to a person's body or skin.

It's impossible to wash it off. His moves are more refined than Dan Qingsheng's, but they also have many flaws.

Of course, this applies to experts only. For someone with average martial arts skills, they simply cannot withstand the attacks of the two of them.

Wang Cheng's swordsmanship had become a unified whole, forming its own school, and every move he made displayed the demeanor of a grandmaster.

The two friends from Plum Manor, without any hesitation, used their signature skills to completely surround Wang Cheng.

However, Wang Cheng's martial arts skills are now so exquisite that his every move and every sword technique seems to make no sense, just like children fighting.

Wang Cheng's seemingly random moves were actually quite ingenious. Each move appeared to be without any moves, but to a master, every move he made was almost flawless.

The attack is made from an incredible angle, targeting the enemy's weaknesses. The manner of the attack, as well as the angle and force of the strike, are all exquisite.

Even a martial arts master might not be able to imagine how to counter each of Wang Cheng's moves.

Because Wang Cheng's swordsmanship and attack methods are no longer bound by certain martial arts moves, he has very few flaws. Even if Dongfang Bubai came in person...

Or, if Wang Chongyang or Dugu Qiubai were to personally confront Wang Cheng, they would be overjoyed to encounter a master like Wang Cheng and would rack their brains to devise a way to defeat him.

Wang Cheng's martial arts skills are now vastly different from what they were a few months ago.

After exchanging more than a dozen blows with Wang Cheng, the two friends from Meizhuang had exhausted all their strength and could only barely defend themselves. Their attacks were becoming increasingly difficult, and they were on the verge of defeat.

This was only because Wang Cheng hadn't used his full strength; otherwise, he could have defeated both of them in seven or eight moves.

This is with the two of them working together to deal with Wang Cheng. If the two of them were to fight Wang Cheng one-on-one...

Wang Cheng only needs three to five moves to easily defeat any one of them.

Wang Cheng used his unique and profound internal energy in his swordsmanship, and in a few moves he knocked away the weapons of the two friends from Plum Manor and struck their pressure points.

The two friends from Plum Village knew they were no match for the opponent, but since their acupoints had been struck, they could only desperately try to break through the acupoints, hoping that their mobility could be restored as soon as possible.

When Huang Zhonggong and Hei Baizi saw that their brother was no match for Wang Cheng, they immediately engaged Wang Cheng in battle.

The two were better at martial arts than Dan Qingsheng and the other two, especially Huang Zhonggong, whose internal strength was quite good.

Both of them used their best skills, but Wang Cheng still defeated them without much effort.

They also pressed their pressure points.

Wang Cheng searched the four people and found four keys on them. He then used the Northern Darkness Divine Art to drain all four of their internal energy.

To the Shaolin Temple, the Sun Moon Cult was a major evil cult, a heretical sect.

If the people of Shaolin Temple have the opportunity to encounter these people, they would be very willing to slay demons and eliminate evil.

Therefore, Wang Cheng's act of draining the internal energy of the four of them was actually a great thing for the righteous people in the martial arts world.

Without any hesitation, Wang Cheng absorbed the four men's inner strength and began refining it on the spot. He did not kill the four friends of Plum Manor, Wang Cheng thought.

The Four Friends of Plum Manor were not so bad. After Wang Cheng spent some time refining their internal energy, he entered Plum Manor and sent his underlings.

He took the key to rescue Ren Woxing, and brought out all the various kinds of fine wines that Dan Qingsheng had accumulated.

He ordered his men to send it back to the Shadowless Hall headquarters.
