I am Jinshan Youxia

Chapter 139 My Master Xiao Feng

"Crack!"

Flames rise above the ruins, and buildings continue to collapse.

After Yue Fei steadied himself, he gripped his spear, his face grave. He had never encountered such a formidable enemy before.

Huang Shang's expression was much more relaxed. He had met Zhang Chengyi before and was relatively intelligent, so he could tell that the other party had no intention of continuing to fight. He asked, "What brings you here, Master Zhang?"

"The Nine Heavens True Scripture, and Xiao Feng."

Zhang Chengyi readily stated his goal. He genuinely had no intention of making a big fuss at first; he just wanted to demonstrate his military strength and threaten the emperor, and that would be the end of it. After all, indiscriminate killing would easily create a mess, and he had no interest in taking over the Song Dynasty.

Who knew that things would get so out of hand and become so difficult to stop later on? He didn't know any methods to control his inner demons, so he simply treated it like a game and enjoyed mowing down enemies.

Do you really think Kingsoft Rangers will back down because they're threatened?

"What do you want with Xiao Feng?" Yue Fei asked.

Huang Shang looked distressed. He immediately remembered why the other party had ignored him so easily back in Jiangnan. It turned out that since he refused to give it to them, they had come to the palace to demand it.

"Why would I look for him?" Zhang Chengyi repeated Yue Fei's question. "Old Xiao and I are friends, so it's not a problem for me to show some concern, is it?"

"You are Zhang Chengyi, the wandering knight of Jinshan more than 30 years ago."

Yue Fei suddenly spoke in a resolute tone.

"Nonsense," Zhang Chengyi said irritably. His name had just been called out by Huang Shang.

Yue Fei lowered his spear, the hostility on his face dissipated, and said in a cold tone, "My master is Xiao Feng."

"?"X2

Not to mention Zhang Chengyi, even Huang Shang was stunned.

A young man in his early twenties claims to be the disciple of a peerless master who disappeared more than a decade ago. The contrast between these two unrelated people is striking.

Zhang Chengyi realized what was happening and said, "Xiao Feng is in the capital."

Yue Fei did not answer, but only said, "My master mentioned Master Zhang."

“Very good.” Zhang Chengyi was delighted. This was simple; he didn’t need to bother investigating. “Hey, Lao Huang, go ask your emperor if he’s willing to give me the Nine Heavens True Scripture.”

"Okay." Huang Shang's voice was filled with helplessness.

-------------------------------------

One day later, in a restaurant in the capital.

"Emperor Zhao Ji died along with his family?"

"Have several ministers suddenly fallen seriously ill?"

"The imperial guards who were rescued have become mentally impaired?"

"Empty money?"

Zhang Chengyi sat in his chair, lazily repeating Huang Shang's words, and then asked, "Where is the Nine Heavens Scripture?"

He sensed something was wrong; someone was probably stirring up trouble behind the scenes, and the whole incident had a sinister undertone.

If the investigation continues, it will likely go on forever. He's the kind of person who hates going through the motions of solving a mystery, so he probably won't bother with it himself. He'll just find a few unlucky guys to investigate for him.

Upon hearing this, Huang Shang presented the original copy of the Nine Heavens True Scripture that he had just memorized.

Zhang Chengyi flipped through it and rated it as a low-end version of the Northern Darkness Yin-Yang Skill + Arhat Golden Body Technique. There wasn't much of value in it, and a lot of the content overlapped with the other two martial arts manuals, such as body tempering, acupoint condensation, and how to skillfully overcome inner demon tribulations.

The biggest highlight is the comprehensive development and application of acupoints. Nine is the extreme number, and Juexian probably had nothing better to do than find all the places in the body where acupoints can be condensed, and then practiced them one by one.

There are many interesting ways to use acupoints, such as which acupoints can be connected with meridians and acupoints to increase speed, and which connections can enhance strength.

It is far more complicated than the Northern Darkness Yin-Yang Technique and the Arhat Golden Body Technique, and requires a higher level of talent. Otherwise, Donglin Temple would not have failed to master it for so many years.

Huang Shang was able to master it as soon as he got his hands on it, which is purely due to his extraordinary talent; ordinary people cannot learn it.

Zhang Chengyi wrote down the contents, casually tossed the manual back, and said, "You can go now."

"..."

Huang Shang caught the manual, his expression changing repeatedly before finally turning and leaving without a word.

Zhang Chengyi stood up, looked at the white-haired old man and the woman in her forties who was supporting him, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Old Xiao, I almost didn't recognize you."

Originally, it was thought that once Yue Fei came out and acknowledged Xiao Feng as his master, everything would be settled.

Unexpectedly, the emperor died, and the ministers also died. The palace guards who usually maintained stability were either dead or mentally impaired, and the Song court was almost paralyzed. In the end, if it weren't for Yue Fei, the instructor of the imperial guards, leading the imperial guards to stabilize the order in the capital, the capital would have collapsed.

There were a lot of troubles, but fortunately he didn't have to deal with them personally.

"Long time no see, Uncle Zhang." Xiao Feng gave a peaceful smile, his face lined with wrinkles, making him look very old.

No one would have guessed that this was the once mighty King Xiao.

The titles he used were completely unlike those of the spirited hero he once was.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Chengyi asked, puzzled. "I thought you'd gone mad from some inner demon."

“I used to be.” Xiao Feng sighed as he recalled the past. “More than twenty years ago, I went mad and killed or injured many people. After that, I passed on my skills to my father and took A’Zhu to live in seclusion in the Central Plains.”

In the past, for ordinary martial artists, losing their skills was no different from being dead. Even if he lost all his martial arts skills, he could still withstand it because of his physical fitness. However, he aged quite quickly, looking older than an eighty-year-old man when he was over sixty.

"You're really decisive."

Zhang Chengyi never expected that King Xiao would give up martial arts and live a life of seclusion. He thought that the mastermind behind the scenes had plotted against him and killed him.

"That's not right. You lost all your martial arts skills more than 20 years ago, so how come you only disappeared more than 10 years ago?" he asked curiously.

"My father will take my place later," Xiao Feng replied. He and his father had always looked very similar, and as he grew older, they looked like twin brothers when they stood together.

Zhang Chengyi understood. Although there were still many doubts, at least the person had been found, so there was no need to dwell on the other minor details. He thought for a moment and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"..." Xiao Feng paused for a moment, then asked, "Can my plan be realized?"

“That’s impossible.” Zhang Chengyi laughed heartily, then slapped Xiao Feng, sending a surge of true energy through him, activating the familiar power transfer process, and said, “I told you more than thirty years ago to just seize that damned emperor’s throne, but you just wouldn’t listen.”

"You have to take responsibility for the mess the world is in now, Lao Xiao."

Xiao Feng remained silent, and the world has become like this. It goes without saying who the real culprit is, but he himself does bear some responsibility.

He truly had no desire for power, and leading troops brought him no joy. When his inner demons flared up, his past experiences made him aggressive, bloodthirsty, and dangerous.

If he succumbs to his inner demons, he might become a butcher, something he cannot accept, so he has no choice but to let go.

I thought that even without his support, the Song Dynasty could still function normally. Who knew that my father's political skills were so poor that he broke with the Song Dynasty, became alienated from the army, and secretly planned to declare himself emperor and restore the country. After the struggle between various forces, it has become the mess it is today.

As the power was poured in, his gray hair fell out, his wrinkles smoothed out, and his cloudy eyes became clear. The large amount of immortal energy contained within them transformed Xiao Feng from an eighty-year-old man into a forty-year-old man in no time.

The inner demons that had been dormant due to the loss of his powers have become active again as his body recovers.

Chapter 140 Goodbye

"go!"

With reddened eyes, Xiao Feng's expression was ferocious, his voice trembled, and his muscles bulged, giving the impression that he was about to suddenly attack and hurt someone.

"It looks like a zombie."

Zhang Chengyi made a comment without stopping his work.

"when!"

After a few seconds, Xiao Feng finally couldn't hold back and punched Zhang Chengyi's gilded clothes with his free arm.

That's incredibly powerful.

Zhang Chengyi was somewhat surprised that Xiao Feng, whose martial arts had stagnated for more than 20 years, still possessed unparalleled physical qualities. He had managed to flatten a piece of Xiao Feng's Golden Body, which was at 40% of its level. If Xiao Feng were to recover to his peak condition, he would probably be even stronger than Shenshan.

Then he adjusted the metal content in his body to 80%.

Even the most accomplished master of the Arhat Golden Body Technique, Shenshan, only dared to mix less than 20% metal into his body; any more would be dangerous and could potentially affect his nerves.

Previously, at Qingliang Temple, there was a case of someone obsessed with the level of gold statues, who eventually went insane due to the influence of the metallization.

Zhang Chengyi didn't care about any of that. The main purpose of his Everlasting Youth True Qi was to activate and maintain the basic functions of his body. As long as his login function was not affected, there was no problem. He didn't even have a soul, so whether this body had self-awareness was another matter. Madness had nothing to do with him.

As long as it doesn't turn into a 100% metal lump, it will only affect the speed a little.

"when!"

This time, Xiao Feng switched to using his palm, delivering a standard Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms strike to Zhang Chengyi's chest. This time, instead of causing any harm, it snapped Zhang Chengyi's own arm with a crack.

"Click~ Click~"

Zhang Chengyi, who was transmitting his skills, had no time to control his body weight. His feet gradually tore through his shoes and sank into the floor tiles.

Veins bulged on Xiao Feng's forehead, but he couldn't pull his arm out of the grasp. The severed arm healed itself in the blink of an eye, and he used a completely incomprehensible finger technique to poke at him.

"Snap!" My finger broke off.

The Arhat Golden Body Technique uses a special golden alloy refined from the Northern Darkness True Qi, which has extremely high hardness. It is mixed with meteorite iron that the Divine Mountain Master obtained with great effort. Without the softening effect of the gold, it is impossible to melt into the True Qi and the body.

Zhang Chengyi's golden body, with its 80% metal content, is an impenetrable block that no one can break through.

Xiao Feng, though bloodthirsty, wasn't stupid. He broke his own arm and fingers, immediately changing his attack method.

Eye gouging, chokehold, monkey stealing peaches—

"You son of a bitch!" Zhang Chengyi clamped Xiao Feng's feet between his legs, then slapped Xiao Feng's head with his other hand without hesitation.

"Boom!"

In that instant, Xiao Feng's eyes cleared. "Uncle Zhang, I..."

"Kill!" He cleared his mind for a moment, then without hesitation tried to break his arm that was being held.

"Boom!"

"I"

"Boom!"

"you"

"Boom!"
