As the man's face was revealed, the Sweeping Monk, the Drunkard Monk, and the others were all confused. Only Wang Chongyang and a few others seemed to be thinking.
"Jia Jing?" Zhao Gou exclaimed. Jia Jing was the heir of Duke Ning, so he had been to the palace to see the emperor. But most of the time, he lived in seclusion, making elixirs in a Taoist temple all day long. Many people in Lin 'an said that he was possessed. If he ate elixirs like that, he wouldn't live long.
Because he hadn't shown up in public for many years, many people thought he had died from taking too many elixirs. They didn't even remember his existence. Even Zhao Gou had to think for a long time to recognize him.
At this time, Huang Chang and the others looked at each other and saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.
Another Great Master?
This Great Grandmaster was too worthless!
Every one of them was a legendary figure in the Jianghu. Every one of them had either created an amazing ultimate skill or had a legendary battle record. Every one of them was an existence that resounded like thunder in the ears of the world.
But Jia Shidao and his brother were beyond everyone's understanding. They had never heard of them practicing martial arts. How could they be Great Masters? And both of them were Great Masters?
"Dragon … Dragon Island Master?" Shi Potian's shout woke everyone up.
Jia Jing was the Dragon Island Master?
Everyone was shocked. Who was Jia Shidao?
As if he had seen everyone's confusion, Jia Shidao laughed and said, "People only know that there are two Dragon Island Masters on the Island of Heroes, but they don't know that there are actually two Dragon Island Masters."
Everyone was confused at first, but they were all smart people, so they quickly understood. Jia Shidao was a powerful minister in the imperial court. The government affairs in the imperial court were complicated enough, and he had to go to the court often. Naturally, he didn't have much time to take care of things in Jianghu. When he was away, he had to ask someone else to take care of things on the Island of Heroes.
However, to be in charge of such an important department like the Island of Heroes, one had to be powerful enough, and the other had to be one of his own people. After thinking about it, his cousin Jia Jing was the best candidate. Everyone in the capital knew that Jia Jing hid in a Taoist temple all day to seek immortality, so it was a good cover for him.
At this time, Song Qingshu looked at Shi Potian and asked, "Little brother, did you tell them how to decipher the patterns on the stone wall?"
Shi Potianxia subconsciously nodded and said, "Yes, I was invited to the island by the two island masters, and I coincidentally learned the martial arts on the stone wall. Those martial arts belonged to them, of course I wouldn't hide it from them."
"No wonder." Song Qingshu nodded to himself. Unlike Shi Potian, Dragon Island Master and Jia Shidao were already masters at the Grand Master Level. Now that they knew the correct way to practice the Taixuan Sutra, they were like tigers that had grown wings. In comparison, Shi Potian's martial arts foundation was too shallow. He had accidentally learned the pictures on the stone wall. Although he was already a top master in Jianghu, he was still one step away from becoming a real Grand Master.
Of course, Song Qingshu wasn't worried at all, because he had "taken" the best part of the Taixuan Sutra. The tadpole text in the secret room was even more important than the Sanskrit General Principles in the Nine Yin Sutra.
Without the best part, they would never be able to use the true power of the Taixuan Sutra.
"How did you know about the patterns on the stone wall?" Jia Shidao suddenly turned around and stared at him sharply. He even had all kinds of guesses in his mind, wondering if he had been to the Island of Heroes, or if he had something to do with Baoyu's disappearance.
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "You're not the only one who has an intelligence network. I have my own channels of information, too."
As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Zhang San and Li Si, who were in the middle of the battle.
Now that he was facing two Great Grandmasters, he didn't dare to be careless. He naturally had to find a way to give them false information, and at the same time, hide his strength in preparation for the upcoming battle.
In this regard, he admired Xiao Feng in the original work. The reason why Xiao Feng was recognized as the God of War was that every time he fought, no matter how strong or weak his opponent was, he would always use all of his strength to fight. When facing second or third-rate masters like Elder Tan and Granny Tan, he had to be extremely vigilant in case they hurt him. Xiao Feng always imagined the worst at the beginning. For example, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to defeat Murong Fu and You Tanzhi at the same time. When Liao rebelled against the King of Chu, he also thought he was going to die. Who knew that the situation would be reversed the next moment?
That was why in the original work, Xiao Feng had never lost a battle. He wasn't like Duan Yu or Zhang Wuji, who wore godly equipment but were often beaten by people who weren't as good as they were.
However, although this was good for the actual battle, there was also a disadvantage. That was, Xiao Feng would use all of his strength when he attacked. If he wasn't careful, he could easily hurt his own people, which would lead to irreversible consequences. For example, Azhu at Little Mirror Lake …
As expected, Jia Shidao was misled by the look in his eyes. He suddenly felt relieved. He thought that when this was over, he would definitely let Zhang San and Li Si, the two traitors, know what it meant to be better off dead than alive.
At that moment, Dragon Island Master glanced at Island Master Mu, who was lying not far away. He frowned but didn't say anything. This was the internal fight of the Rongguo Mansion, and it had nothing to do with the Ningguo Mansion.
"In case anything unexpected happens, we'd better get rid of him as soon as possible." Dragon Island Master immediately turned his attention to Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu gestured for Xiao Long Nu to hide aside, and then said proudly, "You two can come at me together."
Jia Shidao was so angry that he laughed. "How arrogant!"
Dragon Island Master also looked at him. "Young man, how arrogant you are!"
Song Qingshu smiled faintly. "If I didn't say that, would you fight me alone?"
The two of them held their breath, and they couldn't say a word.
"You're just trying to talk big." Dragon Island Master snorted and didn't say anything else. He slowly raised his right hand. At first, he was holding nothing in his hand, but as he raised his hand higher and higher, there seemed to be a sword of nothingness in his hand.
Jia Shidao made a strange gesture. He clenched his fist, as if he was holding a transparent wine cup in his hand, and he was going to drink it. The sweeping monk's eyes froze. He recognized that he had just been injured by this punch.
The two of them locked their auras on Song Qingshu, who was in the center. The whole bamboo forest moved even though there was no wind, and the atmosphere was extremely chilling.
Huang Chang and the others couldn't help but nod. "The Taixuan Sutra is indeed worthy of its reputation."
The Great Masters had experienced many things in their lives. Even if they died here, they wouldn't have many regrets. Being able to see the legendary Taixuan Sutra with their own eyes before they died was even more gratifying.
Song Qingshu was the only one who recognized the two's moves. The Dragon Island Master's move should be the starting move of "Taking off the Sword and Crossing the Knee," while Jia Shidao's move was the fist technique contained in "Three Cups of Breath Promise." The two of them had indeed practiced the martial arts moves on the stone wall to the extreme.
Huang Chang couldn't help but ask, "Who do you think will win?" The Great Masters had been carried together by the disciples of the WuTang Sect and left in a relatively safe corner, so they decided to have a tea party.
Doujiu Monk thought for a while and answered, "If it were one-on-one, I think Almsgiver Song would win. But one-on-two, it would be too difficult." He didn't say it directly, but it was clear what he meant. Xiao Long Nu and the yellow-robed woman were suddenly nervous.
Wang Chongyang shook his head and said, "I think at least little brother won't lose." Although there was a big gap between their ages, in Jianghu, Song Qingshu's martial arts were already at the same level as theirs, so no one objected to him calling him little brother.
Back in the Chongyang Palace, Wang Chongyang had used the Big Dipper Formation with all his strength, but still hadn't been able to defeat him. Looking at his martial arts now, it was obvious that he had made great progress. Although Jia Shidao and the yellow-robed woman were Great Masters, they weren't as strong as Wang Chongyang alone. Even if the two of them joined forces, they might not be able to defeat each other. However, thinking of how he had been restrained when fighting against Huang Chang and Doujiu Monk, he wasn't so sure about Song Qingshu's outcome.
Hearing him say this, the women's hearts calmed down a little.
At that moment, the Sweeping Monk suddenly said, "I think Song Qingshu will win."
"Oh? Why? " The others couldn't help but ask. Although they had just been injured by him, they were all in the same situation now. They had lived for most of their lives, so there was nothing they couldn't accept.
The Sweeping Monk smiled but didn't say anything. In his mind, he remembered how the masters of the Shaolin Temple had surrounded Song Qingshu and been seriously injured by him. He had appeared to save him, and the little golden man in Song Qingshu's eyes was like a shadow. Even thinking about it now, he still felt a little scared.
At his level of martial arts, it could be said that he was the best in the whole martial arts world, and almost nothing could bring him a sense of crisis. However, at that time, a flash of gold in Song Qingshu's eyes made his hair stand on end. That feeling was something he had never felt before.
Seeing that he was keeping them in suspense, the other Great Masters were secretly dissatisfied. They thought, "If you don't tell us, can't we see for ourselves?" Only Huang Chang seemed to be deep in thought. Clearly, he also remembered when he had fought against Song Qingshu in the Imperial Palace, and how he had held back his attack.
At that moment, they had already exchanged blows. The Dragon Island Master made the first move. He had originally looked old and clumsy, but when he made his move, it was as if he had instantly become a vigorous young man. His whole body seemed to flash, and his figure kept appearing in all directions around Song Qingshu. The Sword of Nothingness in his hand pierced toward Song Qingshu from all sorts of strange angles.
"Is this the sword technique of the Supreme Mystery Sutra? In the whole martial arts world, I think only the Sword Demon's Solitary Nine Swords can match it." Wang Chongyang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. His attainments in swordsmanship were extremely profound, and with just a few glances, he could tell that this sword technique was much more profound than his Quanzhen sword technique.
Of course, his Quanzhen sword technique was moderate and gentle, suitable for martial artists of all levels to practice. It was a martial art that truly benefited the whole martial arts world. The Dragon Island Master's sword technique had a very high requirement for skill, and there weren't many people in the martial arts world who were suitable to practice this sword technique, so it was not suitable to be popularized.
Huang Chang snorted. "I think the Ancient Tomb sect's Pure Heart of Jade Maiden Sword Technique improved by the Bixie Sword Manual is not bad, but the young lady's skill is too weak. If you were to use it, it would definitely be better than the Dragon Island Master's sword technique."
Wang Chongyang laughed awkwardly. "I don't know my Shidi's Left and Right Inter-fighting Technique, so I can't use the sword with both hands like Miss Long." With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that Xiao Long Nu must have received guidance from Zhou Botong, which was why she could use the Quanzhen sword technique with one hand and the Jade Maiden Sword Technique with the other.
The Drunkard Monk laughed. "With you and Miss Lin working together, who in the world can beat you?" These Great Masters all knew about the trivial matter between Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying, so they wanted to use this to make fun of him.
Wang Chongyang's face heated up. "Matters of the heart, what do you, a monk, know?"
The Sweeping Monk on the side didn't have the mind to care about their romantic past. Looking at the battlefield, he mumbled, "I feel that the power of this sword technique is mostly due to this set of light footwork."
First set a small goal, such as one second.
