Chapter 648 Murong Fu

Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan were riding on the same horse, and in their panic they didn't know where they were going. Suddenly, it started raining from the sky, and the rain got heavier and heavier.

The two men had no choice but to find shelter in a farmer's house on the roadside, but they did not meet the owner until the rain stopped.

Their clothes were soaked, so they left a few coins and took two sets of clothes from farmers to change into.

But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came. Wang Yuyan was halfway through changing her clothes and had to hide in the farmhouse. Duan Yu did not bother to change his clothes and rushed outside to check the situation.

I saw a horse approaching, and the rider was dressed in Jinqing style, just like the Jinqing warrior in the apricot forest before.

When the Jin Qing warrior saw Duan Yu, he attacked without saying a word, with each move being ruthless and attacking all the vital acupoints.

Although Duan Yu had great internal strength, he lacked experience in martial arts. Even with the guidance of Wang Yuyan, a theoretical master, he was unable to fight for long and soon ran out of options.

Unexpectedly, when the warrior Jin Qing swung his sword and was about to chop off Duan Yu's head, he suddenly put away the sword and said indifferently: "Go and ask your master, see if she has any way to kill me."

The Master Duan Yu he mentioned was actually an intentional joke, and was actually referring to Wang Yuyan who was hiding in the house.

This Jin Qing warrior was actually no one else but the famous Southern Murong - Murong Fu.

Murong Fu originally came to rescue Wang Yuyan, but when he saw the handsome Duan Yu also beside him, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, so he started fighting with him.

Wang Yuyan saw the situation outside from the window and immediately called out, "Master Duan, come here quickly."

Duan Yu naturally didn't say anything and immediately walked towards the window.

When he looked back, he saw that the man had put away his knife and was sitting down. His face was still as wooden as a zombie. It was obvious that he did not take him seriously at all and would definitely not take the opportunity to attack him from behind.

Come to think of it, if the other party really wanted to kill him, he would have been beheaded just now. Why would he go through the trouble of a sneak attack?

Duan Yu came to the window and whispered, "Miss Wang, I can't beat him. Let's find a way to escape."

Wang Yuyan shook her head and said, "He's guarding down there, we can't escape..."

After saying that, she lowered her head and thought for a long time, and finally shook her head again and said, "He doesn't reveal his martial arts skills. I don't know how to defeat him."

Duan Yu exclaimed: "He is very powerful, isn't he?"

Wang Yuyan nodded and said, "When he fought you just now, he used a total of seventeen different martial arts."

Duan Yu was immediately surprised and asked, "What? In just such a short time, he has already used seventeen different martial arts?"

Wang Yuyan also sighed, "Yes! He just used a single sword to encircle you, which is the Shaolin Temple's demon-subduing sword technique; the sword he used to chop to the west is the eighteen moves of the hatchet used by the old man Li in Lishan Cave in Guangxi; the sword he used to turn around and cut is the 'wind-blowing willow sword' of the Jiangnan historian... Each move is different, and they are not from the same family."

She explained each move one by one, as if she knew them all by heart, and explained their origins and sects in detail. However, Duan Yu had no idea what she understood and was staring in astonishment.

Wang Yuyan lowered her head and thought for a long time, and finally said: "You can't beat him, just admit defeat."

Duan Yu said helplessly: "I have already admitted defeat."

Then he turned around and shouted to the man, "Hey, I admit defeat, are you willing to let us go?"

The Jin Qing warrior played by Murong Fu sneered and said, "It's not difficult to spare your life. Just do one thing for me."

Duan Yu asked hurriedly: "What's the matter?"

Murong Fu said contemptuously: "From now on, whenever you see me, you must lie on the ground, kowtow to me three times, and shout: 'Master, spare my life!'"

Even a good-tempered person like Duan Yu could not help but get angry after hearing such a request, and said, "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. It is absolutely impossible for me to kowtow to you and beg for mercy. If you want to kill me, then go ahead."

Murong Fu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you really not afraid of death?"

Duan Yu said angrily: "Who doesn't fear death? But every time I see you I kneel down and kowtow. I might as well die!"

Murong Fu couldn't help but sneer again when he heard this: "Kneeling down and kowtow to me when you see me doesn't necessarily mean you are wronged. If I become the emperor of the Central Plains one day, will you kneel down and kowtow to me when you see me?"

When Wang Yuyan heard him say "If I were to become the emperor of the Central Plains one day", she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart and thought to herself, "Why would he say that?"

Duan Yu shook his head and said, "Kowtowing to the emperor is another matter. It is a gesture of respect, not begging for mercy."

Murong Fu's expression turned cold, and he said, "So, you don't agree to my terms?"

Duan Yu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't obey your order. Please forgive me."

Murong Fu then said: "Okay, come down, I will kill you with one blow."

Duan Yu glanced at Wang Yuyan, feeling sad, and said, "Since you must kill me, I will die, but I have one request before I die."

Murong Fu's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

Duan Yu clasped his fists and said, "This girl has been poisoned and cannot walk. Please send her back to Mantuo Villa in Taihu Lake."

Murong Fu immediately laughed and said, "I was about to kill you two, but you asked me to send this girl home. Why do you do that?"

Duan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, I will write a letter, and after you send this girl back to her home, you can take this letter to Dali State to get a thousand taels of gold and be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."

Murong Fu's smile became even wider, and he said disdainfully: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Who are you? Can you give me a thousand taels of gold and make me a marquis with just a letter from you?"

Duan Yu thought that this was indeed hard to believe, and for a moment he was at a loss as to what to do. He scratched his head and said, "What should I do? My death is not a pity, but if the young lady is stranded here and falls into the hands of bandits, I will never be able to redeem myself."

Wang Yuyan was moved by his sincerity and shouted to the Jinqing warrior, "Hey, if you are rude to me, my cousin will come to avenge me and will definitely turn your Jinqing kingdom upside down and make everyone in it uneasy."

Murong Fu's face changed, and he asked back: "Who is your cousin? How can he be so capable?"

Wang Yuyan said, "My cousin is the famous Master Murong in the Central Plains martial arts world. You must have heard of his name 'Gusu Murong'. 'Do unto others as you would have done unto them'. If you are rude to me, he will be rude to you ten times more." Murong Fu was secretly delighted when she praised him like this, but he sneered, "If Master Murong saw you being so intimate with this pretty boy, he would wish he would never see you again. How could he be willing to avenge you?"

Wang Yuyan's face immediately turned red, and she said, "Don't talk nonsense. I have nothing... nothing..."

Thinking that such things should not be discussed any further, he changed the subject and asked, "Hey, General, what is your name? Do you dare to tell me?"

Murong Fu lied calmly and said, "Why not? I will never change my surname or my given name. I am Li Yanzong of Jinqing."

Wang Yuyan said, "It turned out to be General Li. Judging from General Li's words, he seems to have great ambitions."

Murong Fu said: "Of course, I will serve my country with all my heart, swallow up Liao and destroy Song, eliminate Tubo in the west, annex Dali in the south, and achieve unprecedented achievements."

Duan Yu then said, "Your Excellency has great ambitions. General Li, let me tell you, you are proficient in various martial arts, and it may be possible for you to become the best martial artist in the world, but how can you rule the world with martial arts alone?"

Wang Yuyan also said: "Even if we talk about the best martial arts in the world, General Li is probably far behind."

Murong Fu asked: "Why do you think so?"

Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "In today's world, let's not talk about those famous martial arts masters such as Zhang Zhenren of Wudang and Prince Zhao of the Song Dynasty. Among the younger generation alone, there are at least two... no, three people whose martial arts are far superior to yours."

Murong Fu was really curious now, he looked up and asked, "Who are these three people?"

Wang Yuyan replied: "The first one is the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, Leader Qiao Feng."

Murong Fu was a little dissatisfied, snorted, and said: "Although he is famous, he may not be worthy of the reputation. What about the second one?"

Wang Yuyan said: "The second one is my cousin, Gusu Murongfu, Master Murong."

Murong Fu's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "That's hard to say. You put Qiao Feng's name before Murong Fu's. Is it for the public or for private reasons?"

Wang Yuyan asked: "What is public or private?"

Murong Fu said: "If it is for public, it is because you think Qiao Feng's martial arts is indeed better than Murong Fu's; if it is for private, it is because Murong Fu and you are related, so you let outsiders rank first."

Wang Yuyan said, "Whether it's for the public or for personal gain, it's all the same. I naturally hope that my cousin will be better than Boss Qiao, but that's not possible right now."

Murong Fu was becoming more and more dissatisfied, but his face remained indifferent. He said, "Although he is not yet able to do it, what Qiao Feng is proficient in is only one family's skill, while your cousin knows a lot of martial arts in the world. If his skills improve in the future, he may be able to become the best in the world."

Wang Yuyan sighed and said, "That won't work. In the future, the best martial artist in the world will most likely be the third person I'm talking about."

Murong Fu suddenly became more curious and asked, "Tell me, who is this third person that you admire so much? Is he better than 'Murong of the South and Qiao Feng of the North'?"

"Although I am not very knowledgeable, I can still recognize a true master... To be honest with you, General Li, the third person I mentioned is much better than Master Murong and Boss Qiao in martial arts."

Murong Fu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't believe it at all, but he couldn't help asking, "Who are you talking about? Has there ever been such a person among the younger generation? Even if it's the so-called world's number one guard Zhan Xiongfei, or the famous Jinmaoshu Bai Yutang, they can't be better than these two, let alone far better."

"It seems that you, General Li, have stayed in the remote area of ​​Jinqing for too long and are really ignorant." Duan Yu already knew who Wang Yuyan was talking about, so he interrupted with a smile.

"Oh? You also recognize that person?" Murong Fu was even more surprised.

Could it be that because I went to the north these days, some extraordinary young master appeared in the world?
He vaguely thought of some news, but never took it seriously, so he was not pretending to be confused at this moment.

"That man is my sworn brother, Chai Xin, Hero Chai! Am I right, Miss Wang?" Duan Yu turned around and asked Wang Yuyan with a proud look on his face.

Wang Yuyan also nodded seriously and smiled, "That's right! With the martial arts that Brother Chai displayed in the apricot forest today, I'm afraid he has already reached the top of the world. Only those famous masters from the major sects who have been famous for a long time, or even those who have disappeared from the world, can compete with him."

Thinking back to the skill that Chai Xin displayed today when he shattered a blade with a flick of his fingers, she still felt it was a little unreal.

At that critical moment, dozens of feet away, when everyone was caught off guard, how did Chai Xin react and arrive first to stop Li Chunlin from committing suicide?

"Among the people present at the time, I'm afraid that only Boss Qiao could see the truth." Wang Yuyan thought.

Hearing the name Chai Xin, Murong Fu's heart skipped a beat and he frowned, "Could it be the Chai Xin who was rumored to have forced Cao Zhengchun back with one palm strike a few days ago?"

"It seems that I said the wrong thing just now. You are not so ignorant. You have heard of my elder brother. By the way, I might as well tell you that Boss Qiao has also sworn brotherhood with us. He is now my second brother."

Duan Yu smiled proudly.

"What? Qiao Feng worships him as his elder brother? Isn't it rumored that Chai Xin is no more than twenty years old?" For the first time in his life, Murong Fu felt that his brain was not enough.

"My eldest brother is just young in appearance, but he is actually one year older than my second brother. General Li, I advise you not to kill us. With the means of my eldest and second brothers, they will definitely be able to find the real murderer who killed me. By then, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I am afraid you will not be able to escape death."

Duan Yu advised very seriously.

This was not just a simple threat, but he really thought so in his heart.

"Oh? Do you think I will be afraid if you use the names of Chai Xin and Qiao Feng to put pressure on me? Humph, it's just the opposite! I, Li Yanzong, am least threatened! Qiao Feng is fine, he has been famous for a long time. But Chai Xin is just a young boy who suddenly appeared. Do you think he wants to scare me?"

Murong Fu was not a man of broad mind to begin with, and now he could not help but get furious when he saw his cousin, who had been a follower since childhood, actually praising a young man whom he had only known for a few days.

What made him most angry was not this, but that he felt in his heart that the other party was right!
Although he had not taken Chai Xin's palm strike to force Cao Zhengchun to retreat seriously at first, now that many things were connected together, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant in his heart.

However, if it were true that there was someone among the younger generation whose martial arts skills far surpassed his, it would be hard for him to accept it.

"General Li, as the saying goes, one wrong step leads to all wrong steps. You'd better think it over carefully!" Duan Yu saw that his expression suddenly became ferocious, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Murong Fu had no strong intention to kill Duan Yu, but he saw that he seemed to have a close relationship with his cousin, and was actually Qiao Feng's sworn brother...

He immediately wanted to kill!
As he spoke, he leaped up and suddenly struck out with a palm, straight at Duan Yu's face!
