Chapter 649 Familiarity
"Who are you, little scoundrel, to bully my brother?"
But at this critical moment, a clear and long whistle suddenly sounded, and at the same time a stone as big as a pigeon egg broke through the air and headed straight for Murong Fu's back of the head.
Murong Fu was, after all, a top-notch master in the martial arts world. He originally wanted to take Duan Yu's life with all his strength, but suddenly he felt a strong wind coming from behind his head. He was horrified and quickly moved his feet, shifting two inches to the left in an instant.
"Shh!"
It was these two inches that saved his life, but the stone still hit his left ear and pierced it directly!
"Humph!"
In severe pain, Murong Fu couldn't help but let out a groan.
At this moment, he did not bother to disguise his voice, and when it fell into Wang Yuyan's ears, a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face.
"This voice... sounds so familiar."
Wang Yuyan only felt that the muffled groan of the Jin Qing warrior in front of her seemed somewhat familiar, but after all, it was just a short muffled groan, and she didn't hear it too clearly, so this trace of doubt was quickly eliminated from her heart.
"Big brother!"
Duan Yu saw the figure flying towards him from a distance, and the panic on his face caused by Murong Fu's previous attack suddenly turned into joy.
"Great! I knew Big Brother would come to rescue me!"
He turned his head to look at Wang Yuyan and said with pride.
"Yes!" Wang Yuyan nodded heavily, and then cast her eyes towards Chai Xin who was falling from the sky, with joy and gratitude in her beautiful eyes, "Thank you, Brother Chai, for saving me!"
Chai Xin, still wearing a black brocade robe, calmly landed in front of Duan Yu and smiled at the two of them: "When I learned that you were in danger, I immediately followed the trail and came here. Finally, I am not too late.
"Brother, I've troubled you again."
Duan Yu was a genuine idiot. When he heard him say that, a look of shame appeared on his happy face and his eyes became a little red.
Wang Yuyan was also very moved. She bowed to him through the window and said earnestly, "Brother Chai, thank you so much."
"When a friend is in trouble, we should help him with all our strength. Why should Miss Wang thank you again and again? Chai believes that if I encounter difficulties in the future, Miss Wang will definitely help me with all her strength. At that time, I will not say thank you to you."
Chai Xin's tone was sincere and a bit joking when he spoke, which alleviated Wang Yuyan's shame.
"Brother Chai is right. It's me who is being pretentious." Wang Yuyan smiled brightly upon hearing this, with an open-minded look on her face.
Duan Yu was stunned when he saw this scene, thinking: If Miss Wang smiled for me, I would be willing to die on the spot.
Then, he couldn't help but think: Perhaps only a hero like my elder brother can be a good match for Miss Wang? In comparison, apart from the identity given by my parents, I really have nothing else.
He did not have any jealousy or dissatisfaction towards Chai Xin in his heart, but only a little bitterness and self-pity, or rather, shame about himself.
"Third brother, if you don't want to cause me any trouble in the future, then practice martial arts well! With your internal strength and your talent for martial arts, if you are willing to work hard, within three to five years, you will definitely have a place in the martial arts world, or at least be a top master."
Chai Xin was not so polite when speaking to Duan Yu. After all, they were his brothers. He would naturally not hesitate when it was time to help, but he would also not be the slightest bit reserved when it was time to educate him.
"Also, don't blame me for not reminding you that your nephew Yang Guo has excellent martial arts talent and is making rapid progress. If you continue to slack off, he may surpass you as his uncle in just a few months! You will have to see where your dignity will be when the time comes."
"Brother is right. I have made up my mind this time to practice martial arts well. Today, I am on the verge of life and death, but I have no way out. I want to save Miss Wang, but I can't even save myself... If it weren't for Brother's timely arrival, I'm afraid I would have been beheaded by now."
Duan Yu couldn't help scratching his head. He didn't feel embarrassed or angry when being scolded by Chai Xin. Instead, he showed a simple and honest smile, and there was a hint of fear in his words.
"It would be fine if I died, but if Miss Wang gets hurt here, then I would never be able to redeem myself!"
Wang Yuyan was moved by his sincerity and Duan Yu's self-blame. She advised him, "Master Duan, you can practice martial arts, but it is hard to have a chivalrous heart. If you have a chivalrous heart, even if you don't know any martial arts, you can still be called a 'chivalrous man'."
It was the first time that Duan Yu was praised like this by the fairy in his heart. He couldn't help but be overjoyed for a moment. The self-pity on his face disappeared immediately. He smiled and said, "No, no, Miss Wang, you are really too kind."
"Ah! You thief, you have no moral principles and attacked me when I was not prepared!"
Although Murong Fu was extremely shocked and full of hatred towards the sudden young master in front of him, he still refused to reveal his true identity and continued to disguise his appearance and voice.
This is actually easy to understand. He is so embarrassed at the moment, and his previous actions towards Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan were all very disgraceful.
If he revealed his identity at this time, wouldn't all the reputation that Gusu Murong had worked so hard to accumulate throughout his life be destroyed in an instant?
For him, this was even more painful than death and was absolutely unacceptable.
"You Jinqing Tartar, not only did you trespass into the heartland of the Song Dynasty, you even dared to commit murder. Who is the villain? If I don't kill you today, I'm afraid that many more innocent people will suffer in the future!"
Only then did Chai Xin turn around and look directly at this "Jinqing warrior" for the first time.
In fact, having read the original novel of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, he naturally knew that the "Jin Qing warrior" in front of him was actually Murong Fu in disguise, but he deliberately did not reveal it.
In this way, he could deal with Murong Fu in front of Wang Yuyan as a matter of course and with confidence.
Even if the truth is revealed later, no one can blame him.
After all, it was Murong Fu who disguised himself and did despicable things, which led to him being killed by the chivalrous Chai Xin.
In this case, his death would be just that, and it would not have any impact on Chai Xin's reputation at all.
On the contrary, if the truth is really spread, it will make Chai Xin's reputation even more famous.
Even Nan Murong, who was known for "returning a favor in their own way", died at the hands of Chai Xin. How strong must Chai Xin be?
Therefore, Chai Xin didn't want to give Murong Fu any chance at all - in fact, if he hadn't been impressed by the other party's skills, the stone he threw just now would definitely not give the other party any chance to dodge.
Murong Fu thought that he had managed to save his life in an emergency, but he had no idea that this was entirely intentional on the part of Chai Xin.
"Who do you think you are, you boastful fellow? I only managed to gain a slight advantage through a sneak attack..."
Murong Fu valued his face the most in his life. He would often suffer losses rather than show weakness in front of others, so it was naturally impossible for him to give in at this moment.
Moreover, Chai Xin's so-called sneak attack just now, which showed mercy, also made him misjudge the opponent's strength in his heart.
According to his judgment, the young man in front of him was indeed a rare master in the world, and might even be better than himself.
However, he was definitely not much stronger than himself. At least he was confident that if the two sides fought head-on, even if he could not win, he would not lose too badly.
If not for this, he would not have behaved so defiantly even though his left ear was pierced.
However, he underestimated Chai Xin's strength. He had only said half of his words when he saw a figure in front of him suddenly become blurred, and then everything in front of him went black.
Then, a sharp pain came from the bridge of his nose, which was so painful that he almost cried out. Fortunately, he was a very strong-willed person in his life, and he managed to endure it in the end.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to fight back, he felt another palm hit his chest and abdomen. His internal organs suddenly started churning and he spat out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably.
"With just this little ability, you dare to be so arrogant? You are indeed a barbarian, with a ridiculously narrow vision."
After Chai Xin threw the punch, he didn't give Murong Fu any chance at all.
As his figure flashed, he landed dozens of punches and palms on the opponent, leaving Murong Fu without any ability to defend himself.
However, he held back in every move, otherwise with his current strength, Murong Fu would have been dead within three moves.
"impossible……"
Murong Fu's face was full of disbelief. He felt as if his whole body was falling apart. He had never been beaten so badly in his life!
He did not try to disguise his voice at this moment, not because he did not want to, but because he was so horrified and covered in injuries that he could not control his voice at all.
But he didn't know whether he should be thankful or sad, because due to the severe pain all over his body, his voice was completely different from usual even without deliberate control.
Even Wang Yuyan, his childhood sweetheart who was very familiar with her voice, didn't hear any clues.
At this moment, Chai Xin used his body to block Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan's vision, and then slapped Murong Fu on the back without leaving a trace, causing him to fly away like a kite.
"Where are you running to? I won't tolerate you today!"
Chai Xin shouted loudly and flew after him, not forgetting to look back at Duan Yu.
"Third brother, I'm going to destroy the Tartars and won't disturb you and Miss Wang anymore. See you tomorrow at Songhe Tower in Wuxi!"
As he spoke, he and Murong Fu had already disappeared into the dense forest in the distance.
Duan Yu was a little surprised at first. Why, with his elder brother's martial arts, he clearly had the upper hand, but he still let the Jin Qing warrior escape...
As a result, when they heard Chai Xin’s words, they immediately understood everything.
"Big brother was so kind to me. After seeing that I was safe, he deliberately found an excuse to leave so that Miss Wang and I could be alone."
It has to be said that imagining things on your own is the most deadly thing, and Duan Yu is in this state at the moment.
Wang Yuyan felt that the effect of the sad breeze in her body seemed to have eased a lot. She slowly stood up and said through the window: "Mr. Duan, let's leave some money. After all, we borrowed someone's house and took a few clothes."
After saying this, she looked at Duan Yu eagerly.
Duan Yu was really stupid sometimes. He didn't react at all and just stared at Wang Yuyan eagerly.
Wang Yuyan was helpless, thinking that this guy was really a fool, so she could only say frankly: "I left home in a hurry and didn't bring any money with me..."
"okay!"
Duan Yu finally understood what was going on and quickly took out a piece of silver the size of a fingernail from his pocket and placed it on the inside of the window sill.
"I will repay you when I get the treatment from my cousin or when I return to Mantuo Villa." Wang Yuyan said.
Duan Yu waved his hand quickly: "It's just a few silver coins. It's my honor that Miss Wang can use it. It's too polite to talk about not returning it."
Although Wang Yuyan had read more books than him, she was actually a very simple girl. Upon hearing this, she did not say anything else. She just nodded and said, "What Master Duan said is exactly the same as what Brother Chai said just now. It was me who was being hypocritical."
Hearing her mention Chai Xin again, Duan Yu couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
On the other side, Chai Xin was holding Murong Fu, whose acupoints had been controlled by him, in one hand and was heading towards the place he had agreed with Yang Guo.
Murong Fu is already considered a top-notch expert in the martial arts world. Although he is less than 30 years old, his skills have been cultivated for more than 40 years...
There is nothing strange about this. For true martial arts wizards, not to mention Chai Xin, such as Qiao Feng, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and the like, which one of them did not gain the equivalent of two to three years of practice from others in one year?
In the original novel, Qiao Feng once lamented that he had neglected martial arts training for several years, but his skills had improved a lot as a result... The gap between a genius and an ordinary person is even greater than the gap between an ordinary person and a dog.
If everyone could gain one year's worth of martial arts skills every year they practiced it, then there would be no difference between martial arts geniuses and mediocre people in the world.
It’s like even though we all have nine years of compulsory education, some people are just better than you, which is also a reflection of qualifications to some extent.
Yang Guo absorbed the skills of everyone in Yipintang. If he could get Murong Fu's internal strength, at least in terms of skills, he would not be inferior to any first-rate master in the future.
Even with the blessing of the special internal force of "Daoxuan Gong", he can crush masters of the same level in most cases.
However, when Chai Xin was less than a few miles away from the agreed place, he suddenly stopped, narrowed his eyes, and glanced at a big tree beside him.
"Oh my god, is it true that the younger one gets beaten to be the older one? Why do I always encounter this kind of plot..."
Chai Xin looked at Murong Fu, whose hands were acupunctured and who was unable to move or speak, and couldn't help feeling helpless.
In the past, I have encountered too many such things in the world of Zhutian and the world of eternal life. I didn't expect that I would encounter it today in a low-level martial arts world like the world of heroes.
Just now, he felt an inner breath approaching rapidly...
That internal energy was extremely powerful, it could even be said that it was not inferior to his at all, even more so than the Five Greatest Masters of Jianghu!
At the very least, Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi, whom Chai Xin had met before, were much inferior to this master who suddenly caught up with him in secret in terms of internal energy fluctuations.
He was very familiar with the original novel of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", so even though he had no basis, he immediately guessed who the person chasing him was.
