All of this happened in the blink of an eye. By the time the people in the hall reacted, the two sides had already separated. The only difference was that the Jin Kingdom people were in a sorry state, while Xiao Feng was able to move in and out of the battle with ease.
Yelu Nanxian looked at Ouyang Feng unwillingly. She didn't expect that she would lose to Ouyang Feng in one move. Although the main reason was because she had to protect Xiao Feng's flank, she had to give up her exquisite swordsmanship and take Ouyang Feng's attack head on. But a loss was a loss. For the first time, Yelu Nanxian felt the difference between her and those top experts in a life and death battle.
"This old man has not been involved in worldly affairs for so many years, I didn't expect such a young expert to appear in Jianghu. Northern Qiao Feng, you truly live up to your name." Ouyang Feng looked at Xiao Feng with a serious expression. Xiao Feng's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms seemed to have surpassed his rival of many years, Hong Qigong. In a life and death battle, it was hard to say who would win.
The combat power that Ouyang Feng had displayed in that split second just now had startled Song QingShu in his heart. He hadn't expected that Ouyang Feng, after recovering his consciousness, would actually be so much more powerful than when he was on the Divine Dragon Island. Originally, according to his estimation of the strength of all the martial artists in the world, Ouyang Feng shouldn't be able to defeat Xiao Feng. Who would have thought that the two of them would actually be evenly matched in that short exchange just now?
In the original novel, Ouyang Feng used the Nine Yin Manual to obtain the title of the world's number one martial artist. Unfortunately, his mind became muddled and he lived in a daze for more than ten years. Finally, on the summit of Mount Hua, he fought with Hong Qigong for three days and three nights before both died of exhaustion. Based on this, Song Qingshu thought that Ouyang Feng's martial arts were at most equal to Hong Qigong's, or even weaker than Hong Qigong when he used the Dog Beating Stick Technique.
But after personally experiencing the changes in Ouyang Feng's strength, Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh. When Ouyang Feng was at his peak, Western Poison's strength was not something that the crazy old man could compare to.
"Toad Stance and Iron Palm? You two are Western Poison Ouyang Feng and Iron Palm Water Drifter Qiu Qianren? " Xiao Feng had roamed the world for more than thirty years. Whether it was the Beggar Sect Elders or the Shaolin Monks, none of them were his match. He didn't expect to meet two people with similar strength.
"King Xiao's eyesight is pretty good." Seeing that Xiao Feng had no intention of making a move for the time being, Ouyang Feng stood with his hands clasped behind his back. At their level, battles to the death rarely occurred. After all, if you wanted to kill your opponent, you would have to pay a heavy price.
Beside him, Qiu Qianren's face was ashen. His hands, which were hidden in his sleeves, were trembling slightly. After he had mastered the Iron Palm, he had thought that he could compete with Wang Chongyang in the past. Who would have thought that he would be at a disadvantage in front of a junior today? He felt ashamed.
"Two dignified Han people, as grandmasters of a generation, why are you willing to become the dogs of the Jin?" Xiao Feng angrily rebuked. In his heart, he was clear that Wan Yanliang was protected by Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren, so he probably wouldn't be able to kill him.
Ouyang Feng smiled faintly, not bothering to explain himself. Qiu Qianren couldn't help but sneer, "Weren't you the Beggar Clan Leader before? Why did you come to the Khitan Empire and become Yelu Hongji's dog?"
"I was fooled by fate and was unable to choose my blood. How could I dare to compare myself to the two of you?" Xiao Feng's voice was loud and clear, and his words carried a sense of righteousness.
Wan Yanliang smiled, stood up and said, "Brother Xiao has misunderstood. Mister Ouyang and Mister Qiu are both honored guests of this little prince's residence. This little prince has always treated you like an esteemed minister and is afraid that I might not be able to serve you well. Speaking of which, the two of you can be considered my teachers. Calling you a dog is nothing more than slandering someone with ulterior motives. Brother Xiao is wise and mighty, so you naturally won't lower yourself to the same level as those lowly people."
Seeing Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren's happy expressions, Song Qingshu couldn't help but snicker, "This Wan Yanliang really knows how to win people's hearts. Speaking of which, in the original novel, wasn't Ouyang Feng supposed to serve the Prince of Zhao, Wanyan Honglie? Where did the Wanyan Honglie of this world go?"
On the other hand, Zhao Min was furious. When Xiao Feng attacked Wan Yanliang, if Jin Gang's headmaster and Taoist Priest Bai Shen had acted at the same time, Wan Yanliang wouldn't have survived.
Although Zhao Min was quick-witted, she didn't quite understand the psychology of these martial arts masters. In the eyes of Jin Gang's headmaster and Taoist Priest Bai Shen, if Xiao Feng and Qiu Qianren had acted just now, it would have been difficult to avoid a life-and-death struggle. Both Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren were experts on par with them. If they weren't careful, even if they didn't die, they would at least lose a layer of skin.
It was better to let Xiao Feng take the lead and fight with them first. When both sides were injured, the two of them could then leisurely reap the benefits.
Zhao Min thought that it was because the two of them hadn't received her orders, so she stood up and said to Xiao Feng, "King Xiao, why don't you and I join hands and capture Wan Yanliang?"
Xiao Feng's expression changed. It would be difficult for him to defeat Ouyang Feng, Qiu Qianren, and a group of Jin Kingdom experts by himself. However, if the experts of the Ruyang Palace joined in, then he would have absolute confidence.
Ouyang Feng and the others' expressions changed. It was already difficult for them to deal with the experts of the Ruyang Palace alone. If the valiant Xiao Feng joined in, then they would be in danger.
"Mister Ximen, this princess has put you on the same side as us and wants to get rid of us together. What do you think?" Wan Yanliang didn't panic. He immediately found the key figure, Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu was stunned. He didn't expect that he would suddenly become so popular. Although Wan Yanliang sounded like he was asking, it was obvious that he wanted to drag him into this.
However, Song Qingshu didn't want to get involved in this mess. With his Lightness Skill, it wouldn't be difficult for him to bring Xiao Long Nu and Icy Snow away safely. Moreover, the two women's Lightness Skill was very good.
When he noticed the tense atmosphere in the hall, Song Qingshu suddenly changed his mind. Wan Yanliang was an extremely important person in the Jin Kingdom. Not only was he of high status, but he was also skilled in the art of war. If he died here, it would be equivalent to cutting off one of the arms of the Jin Kingdom. If this continued, no one would be able to control the Mongolian Kingdom.
In Song Qingshu's mind, the Qing Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, Liao, and even the Southern Song Dynasty were just passersby. His ultimate enemy was the Mongolian Kingdom. Even if the other countries were temporarily enemies, they could temporarily ally with each other to deal with the Mongolian Kingdom.
The most famous army in the world was naturally the Mongolian Qie Xue, followed by the Jin Kingdom's Meng An Moke and the Manchu Qing Eight Banners Army. If the Jin Kingdom and the Manchu Qing Kingdom were defeated, the Mongolian Kingdom would be invincible.
Now, the actual ruler of the Manchu Qing Kingdom was Song Qingshu. He naturally didn't want to see anything happen to his "ally", the Jin Kingdom, because he still needed them to help him deal with the Mongolian Iron Cavalry in the future …
After making up his mind, Song Qingshu smiled and asked the two girls beside him, "Which side do you think I should help?"
Icy Snow was stunned. Although she didn't like the Jin Kingdom, the Mongolian Kingdom was obviously going to harm them. If she sat back and watched Zhao Min and her party deal with Wanyan Liang, the three of them would be in danger when the Mongolian Kingdom was free.
"You just killed that Taoist priest and offended the princess. Naturally, you can only help the other side."
"Miss Long Nu, what do you think?" Song Qingshu looked at Xiao Long Nu.
"I'll help Ouyang Feng." Xiao Long Nu said coldly. Her logic was simple. Zhao Min and her party had tried to stop her from killing Zhao Zhijing multiple times. She also had Jinlun Fawang, an evil person, under her command. Naturally, she was a bad person. On the Jin Kingdom's side, Wanyan Liang had just given her a sword and Ouyang Feng had saved her. Naturally, they were good people.
"I see." Song Qingshu shrugged and looked at Wanyan Liang with a smile. "Looks like we have to work together to fight against the enemy."
With the help of "Ximen Chui Xue", Ouyang Feng was instantly emboldened. He looked at Zhao Min and the others and laughed, "Do you want to fight one on one, or do you want to come at me together?"
Zhao Min thought to herself. Logically speaking, they had the advantage in terms of strength with Xiao Feng's party. However, this kind of thing couldn't be done simply by adding and subtracting. If they attacked together, the other party would know that they had no hope of surviving and would fight to the death.
Many of the experts on her side came from Khubilai's camp and were not under the direct command of the Ruyang Palace. When they fought later, they would definitely have their own plans and would want to take the opportunity to exhaust the other party's strength … With the balance of power between them and the Jin Kingdom, it was hard to say who would win.
After understanding all this, Zhao Min smiled sweetly. "We are not facing off against each other right now. Since we are in Jianghu, we should follow the rules of Jianghu. Let's each choose five experts and we'll win three out of five matches. If you win, I will immediately leave with my people. If we are lucky enough to win, you will hand Wanyan Liang over to me. What do you think?"
Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren looked at each other. They couldn't understand why Zhao Min would choose such a stupid method when she had the upper hand.
"Mr. Ouyang, you are only Guests of Wanyan Liang's residence. You don't have a master-servant relationship with him. If you fight as much as you can, you will have done your best for him. I can promise you that no matter who wins, I will let you go."
Zhao Min continued. She thought to herself, "These old foxes like Taoist Priest Bai Sheng and the King Kong Faction usually don't put in much effort. However, they value their reputation very much. In this kind of Jianghu competition, I don't have to worry about them not doing their best."
Wanyan Liang secretly thought that Zhao Min's actions had completely destroyed the morale that he had painstakingly built up. Now that his subordinates had a choice, why would they fight to the death? He understood that if he insisted on fighting as a group, he would lose the morale of his subordinates. Since things had come to this, he didn't want to disappoint his ruthless character. He laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Ouyang, you don't have to worry. I am already very grateful that you are willing to compete with those Mongolian experts. If I lose later, I will be the one to die here. Please leave."
The tragic tone in his voice made Song Qingshu nod his head. This Wanyan Liang had retreated in order to advance. In the blink of an eye, he had reinvigorated the morale of his subordinates. Compared to Zhao Min, he could be said to be the brightest.
An old fox like Ouyang Feng wouldn't be tricked by a few words. However, he remembered that Wanyan Liang had always treated him politely and made up his mind that he would do his best to protect Wanyan Liang's life. However, when he looked around, he was surprised to find that he couldn't gather five top-notch experts.
