Chapter 636 Arrogant at first and respectful at the end
The Six Meridians Divine Sword is the Duan family's secret, and is considered to be the world's top martial art. It is a superior skill that can only be practiced after one has cultivated the "One Yang Finger" to a certain level.
The One Finger Zen is known for its ferocity and domineering nature. Its advanced martial art, the Six Meridians Divine Sword, is an extremely masculine and powerful martial art.
Although it is called "Excalibur", it is still a finger technique in essence.
It's nothing more than condensing the internal force into substance, bursting out from specific meridians and acupoints, and killing the enemy from a distance.
Because of this, if one wants to practice Six Meridians Divine Sword, one must have extremely profound internal strength.
If one does not have sufficient ability, it is impossible to succeed in cultivation.
Even with the skills of many eminent monks in Dali's Tianlong Temple, they can only practice one separate "meridian" of the divine sword, and then combine the six meridians into one, before they can barely exert some of the true power of the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
But if compared with the true and complete version of Six Meridians Divine Sword, it is still far behind.
If not for this, the many eminent monks of Tianlong Temple would not have been defeated in martial arts battles by the "Flame Sword Palm Technique" practiced by Jiumozhi.
From this point we can also see that in order to cultivate the true Six Meridians Divine Sword, the requirements for internal strength cultivation are extremely stringent.
Since this martial art was created, no one other than the creator has been able to successfully practice it.
In fact, judging from the many martial arts novels written by Jin Yong, apart from the creator of Six Meridians Divine Sword, Duan Yu was the only one who mastered this kung fu.
The reason why Duan Yu was able to master the Six Meridians Divine Sword at a young age in the original novel was due to the "Northern Divine Art" he obtained from the Langhuan Jade Cave.
He used the power of Bei Ming Divine Art to absorb the inner strength of many martial arts masters, which enabled him to reach the pinnacle of internal strength at an early stage.
Otherwise, if he were to practice hard step by step, given that he was only nineteen years old and had never properly learned martial arts for a single day, it would be basically impossible for him to master the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
Today, Duan Yu's fate has changed a lot under the influence of Chai Xin.
However, the general outline is still basically the same as the original work. He absorbed the skills of many people by accident, and at a young age his skills are already comparable to many first-class masters.
Although he has only initially mastered the Six Meridians Divine Sword and is far from reaching the proficient state of being able to send and receive the sword at will, but as long as it is activated, the power is definitely not low.
At this moment, in order to help Chai Xin block the annoying guy Bao Bu Tong, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He felt that the meridians in his body were suddenly connected, and a powerful internal force rose from his dantian and was transmitted to his right thumb through the hand Taiyin lung meridian.
Immediately afterwards, a strong and sharp invisible finger force, like a sharp sword, burst out from his thumb.
With Bao's experience in fighting different enemies, if he was fully alert, he might be able to avoid Duan Yu's Shao Shang Sword.
But he was extremely furious at the moment, and was using all his strength to attack Chai Xin. Even if he wanted to dodge, his body was in the air, but he had nowhere to gain leverage.
What's more, he was so angry that he lost the keen perception that a first-class master should have.
Seeing that Duan Yu, a greasy-haired boy in his eyes, actually dared to intercept him head-on, a feeling of contempt suddenly emerged in his heart.
"If you don't take the road to heaven, you will go to hell! No wonder Third Master is so cruel..."
He stopped abruptly in the middle of his self-righteous words.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound that shook the whole hall. Everyone's expressions became dull, and then they were filled with disbelief and shock.
No one expected that Duan Yu, a boy who had always behaved normally, could actually burst out with such powerful power!
Not only did he intercept Bao Bu Tong's attack in a flash, he even used just one finger to blast the opponent back!
Bao Bu Tong flew back at a speed even faster than when he attacked. His face, suspended in the air, was filled with intense surprise and horror, which even overshadowed the piercing pain coming from his right palm.
Soon, the severe pain not only appeared in the right palm, but also rushed along the arm and directly into the right half of the body, causing him to cough up a ball of blood uncontrollably!
The bright red blood spilled on the bluestone brick ground, leaving a glaring mark.
"You... have such a domineering... finger strength!"
Bao Bu Tong had blood oozing from the corner of his mouth as he uttered these words in a mosquito-like voice, then closed his eyes and tilted his head to the side.
"Brother Bao San!"
"Master Bao San!"
Seeing this, Wang Yuyan, A'zhu, and A'Bi finally came back to their senses from their shock, and rushed over with worried and anxious faces. The three of them worked together to lift Bao Bu Tong onto the chair.
"Don't worry, he just fainted. Although the Six Meridians Divine Sword of the Dali Duan family is extremely powerful, my brother Duan has only been practicing for a short time, so he can't kill a first-class master with just one finger."
Chai Xin took light steps, and in the stunned and horrified eyes of everyone, his figure was like a phantom, and in an instant he flashed to Bao Bu Tong's side.
He tapped Bao Bu Tong's body with his fingers a few times, and then said calmly: "The injury has stabilized. I think the Murong family has no shortage of elixirs for healing. Give him a few pills and he will recover after a few days of rest."
As he was speaking, Bao Bu Tong suddenly coughed lightly and woke up.
"Brother Bao San, how are you? Come, take this pill."
Ah Zhu took out a green porcelain bottle from her bosom, poured out a few pills, and fed them to Bao Yi Tong.
After Bao Bu Tong swallowed the pill, he quickly practiced Qigong and regulated his breathing for a while. His extremely pale face finally looked better.
His face was pale at this moment, and he looked like a defeated general. He no longer had his usual surly and outspoken demeanor. He actually turned his head away, not knowing how to face everyone's gaze.
"Brother Bao, you are too impulsive. I have already told you that Brother Chai and Master Duan are not liars. Master Duan has such martial arts skills, so how can Brother Chai be a fraud?"
Wang Yuyan sighed and tried to smooth things over in a soft voice.
"Besides, Brother Chai is a man of great righteousness. When he heard that my cousin was in danger, he agreed to go with us to help."
Ah Zhu also advised: "We are all family, so we can be considered as getting to know each other without fighting."
"Forget it. Since we are not welcome here, there is no need to stay here. Brother, what are your plans?" Chai Xin turned around and looked at Duan Yu.
Although Duan Yu was reluctant to leave Miss Wang, whom he had been thinking about so much, he was also a man of great loyalty. Moreover, Bao Bu Tong's previous words and deeds were really excessive, so he nodded and said, "Big brother is right."
"Brother Chai, Master Duan, this is just a misunderstanding. Please don't mind. Yuyan apologizes to you two on behalf of Third Brother Bao!"
Wang Yuyan naturally didn't want Chai Xin and Duan Yu to leave, so she immediately stood up to stop them and bowed respectfully.
On the one hand, she was worried about Murong Fu's safety, so she naturally hoped that the two masters would stay; on the other hand, after spending these days together, she did recognize the character of Chai Xin and Duan Yu, and she didn't want the two sides to part ways in such a bad way.
"Yes, Brother Chai, Master Duan, you saved me and A-Bi. When Master knows about this, he will definitely treat us with courtesy. It was just a slight misunderstanding just now, and Third Brother Bao has admitted his mistakes. Please don't take it to heart."
Ah Zhu also stepped forward to make peace, and bowed slightly with Wang Yuyan. Although Ah Bi didn't say anything, she also stepped forward to pay her respects.
At this time, Bao Bu Tong actually forced himself to stand up from the chair and said in a very dry voice: "Bao Bu Tong acted rashly and now he is suffering the consequences. Please forgive me, young heroes. I don't know what danger my young master will encounter. Please tell me."
Previously, he believed that Chai Xin and Duan Yu were young and must be people who were seeking fame and reputation. They came to the Murong family to commit fraud and deception.
Therefore, no matter how Wang Yuyan and the other two girls explained, he would not listen to a word they said. He just felt that they had too little experience in the world and must have been deceived.
It was not until he was defeated by Duan Yu's finger and almost seriously injured that he finally came to his senses and realized that although the two young men in front of him were young and extremely handsome, they were at least not incompetent fools.
If a weak and inexperienced boy told Bao Bu Tong that Murong Fu was in danger, he would naturally not believe a word of it.
But if two masters who were even stronger than him said so, he could not help but have doubts in his heart.
There is no need to ridicule him for his attitude of being rude at first and respectful later, as 90% of the people in this world are like this.
Whatever a person with power, status and reputation says will always convince more people; if it is someone who has accomplished nothing, naturally no one will take it seriously.
Duan Yu was already reluctant to let go of Wang Yuyan, and now seeing the three ladies' humble request, he couldn't help but fall back into his old habit of sympathizing with women, and the steps he had just raised took root again.
"Why is there such a big change from being arrogant before to being respectful now?"
He turned around, seemingly questioning and mocking, but in fact he had already made up his mind to stay.
Chai Xin knew him well, so he smiled slightly, walked to a chair not far away and sat down, but did not mention leaving.
The purpose of coming here is to interfere with the plot. Why do you want to leave now that you haven't really interfered with the main plot?
What I did before was just deliberate manipulation.
In the original novel, Bao Bu Tong is a very foul-mouthed person. He looks down on everyone except Murong Fu and the people around him.
Chai Xin knew that if he didn't show the other party some power, even if he traveled with them later, he would probably be in trouble, so he took the previous action.
If he really wanted to take Bao Bu Tong's life on the spot, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. With his skills, he could do it with just one move.
"I, Bao, try to judge others with the heart of a villain. Please forgive me." Bao Bu Tong replied in a hoarse voice.
He was really willing to sacrifice anything for Murong Fu's safety.
Duan Yu was not a petty person to begin with. He was just really angry, so he made sarcastic remarks.
Seeing him apologize so humbly and being injured by his finger, his anger subsided a lot.
"Well, I'll tell you the reason..."
So he repeated what he had heard in Dali.
After hearing this, Bao Bu Tong's face immediately became solemn. He didn't even care about his own injuries. He forced himself to stand up and bowed deeply to Chai Xin and Duan Yu.
"Bao Bu Tong is blind and has mistaken the two young knights for villains. This is really blind. Please help my young master for the sake of Miss Wang and the two sisters Azhu and Abi. Bao bows his head!"
As he said this, he actually knelt down to worship.
Regardless of this guy's temperament, his loyalty alone is truly rare.
Duan Yu hated to see people look pitiful, so he softened his heart and hurried forward to support Bao Bu Tong, sighing, "Forget it, let's just do as Sister Azhu said and consider it as a fight before friendship."
"Mr. Duan is so righteous that it really makes me ashamed..." Bao Bu Tong lowered his head again and again.
At this moment, the shame and regret on his face were genuine.
He knew better than Wang Yuyan and the other two girls what position Shaolin Temple held in the martial arts world and how powerful its influence was.
If those great monks really intended to seek revenge on Murong Fu, even though the Gusu Murong clan prided themselves on being a noble family, they would definitely not be able to withstand it.
Moreover, at this juncture, he offended two young masters because of his momentary anger and also seriously injured himself.
If Murong Fu was in danger, how would he have the energy to help?
Not to mention, he almost brought two more powerful enemies to his master!
"We are supposed to help Master Murong. Why did Mr. Bao San come here?" Duan Yu couldn't help but sigh again.
Then he turned his gaze to Chai Xin and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"
If Chai Xin still felt unhappy and refused to help Murong Fu, he would not be dissatisfied at all, but he would still choose to go alone.
Seeing this, Ah Bi immediately pleaded, "I know that Brother Chai is a magnanimous and kind person. If you are willing to help me this time, Ah Bi is willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay your kindness!"
Although Wang Yuyan and Ah Zhu did not speak, there was a pleading look on their faces.
"I have never dared to call myself a 'magnanimous and righteous' person. In fact, it is quite the opposite. I have always been vindictive. When I travel around the world, I just want to take revenge and have a clear conscience!"
Chai Xin would not be kidnapped by morality. His expression remained calm and his words made everyone feel depressed.
"However, Bao Bu Tong has been punished for his mistakes, so let's leave it at that. As for helping Master Murong... I won't miss such an event. But I won't help easily before the truth is revealed."
Hearing this, Wang Yuyan and the others' faces were filled with joy again.
Although Chai Xin said that he would not help easily, in their hearts, he was always a chivalrous person.
Moreover, they firmly believed in their hearts that Murong Fu would never harm the monks of Shaolin Temple.
Therefore, after the truth came to light, they felt that given Chai Xin's character, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch Murong Fu being besieged.
Besides, with a great master like Chai Xin in charge, everyone's safety is at least greatly guaranteed.
"Master Chai, you are so kind. I thank you on behalf of my son! After this incident, I will apologize to you in front of my son!"
In just a few words, Bao's attitude changed repeatedly, and even the name he used was repeatedly raised.
Chai Xin didn't look at him, but just sat there with an unchanged expression.
"Brother Bao, you are injured, you should stay at home to recover. With the help of Master Duan and Brother Chai, you will be safe and sound."
Wang Yuyan gave some advice.
