Bam, bam, bam! Wang Zishi kowtowed nine times to Wang Lu and his wife, each kowtow full of strength. Each kowtow was like a heavy hammer, hammering on Wang Lu's heart. Wang Lu's face twitched with each kowtow.
"Your disciple is unworthy. That day when I was defeated, your disciple reflected on my mistakes, and tried to find my shortcomings. After ten days of hard thinking, I suddenly realized that while your disciple's skills are still lacking, the Wang Family's combat skills are still lacking. After much consideration, your disciple has made this decision. " Wang Zishi enunciated each and every word clearly. However, the pain in his eyes could be seen. What kind of torment had he suffered these past few days? What kind of determination had he needed to make this decision?
Looking at his beloved disciple's haggard and emaciated face, Wang Lu felt a pang in his heart. However, when he heard his disciple say that the Wang Family's combat skills were lacking, his anger surged.
The surroundings were quiet. Everyone's expression was grim. Many of the villagers glared at Wang Zishi, but no one said a word.
"Good, good, good!" Wang Lu said a few words and stared straight at Wang Zishi, who was kneeling on the ground. His voice was suppressed to the extreme, like a steel wire that had reached its limit, and one more straw would be enough to break it. "I didn't expect that the Wang family's fighting style would be looked down upon by its own family."
After that, he no longer looked at Wang Zishi, but turned his gaze to Rui Bing, who was still sitting in the house.
He took a deep breath, and raised his voice, saying loudly, "Wang Family's Wang Lu is here to learn from the young lady, please enlighten me!"
Rui Bing opened her eyes, and sighed softly in her heart.
The moment Wang Zishi begged to be her disciple, she knew that this battle was inevitable. No sect would allow this to happen, especially in their own village. Ye Chong would not have understood the consequences, but Rui Bing, who was familiar with the rules of the combat world since she was young, understood the consequences of Wang Zishi's actions.
She had no way out, and the other party would not give her any way out. Even if she admitted that the Wang Family's combat skills were superior, it would be useless. This ending had been decided from the beginning.
Every sect had their own honor and dignity, and no one was allowed to trample on them.
Knowing that it was futile to say anything now, Rui Bing stood up and took a step forward. She floated into the courtyard and said indifferently, "Please show mercy, Mr. Wang."
Ye Chong was discussing alchemy with Master Yan. However, although the two sides often discussed some issues, they never inquired about each other's background. Both of them used disguises at the same time, which meant that neither of them wanted the other to find out about them.
In the beginning, Master Yan did not care much about this problem. Apart from some of the more obscure schools, he could easily tell which school an alchemist belonged to. However, to his surprise, he could not figure out which school Ye Chong belonged to. Both sides discussed many issues. Originally, he should have come to a conclusion, but now he was a little dizzy.
"For example, the Luo Mian Grass is a very good neutralizing agent, but the dosage control is a bit troublesome and requires the use of an alternate technique. However, he could use the powder of the Three Star Rock and supplement it with a mixture of hot and cold to replace it. However, the effect would be slightly reduced. There are 31 types of neutralizing agents that are sensitive to temperature, and I've never seen many of them before, "Ye Chong said regretfully.
Master Yan broke out in cold sweat, but his mind was a little confused. The usage of the Luo Mian Grass had always been a secret of the Qian Family. He only knew about it because he had some connections with the Qian Family, but he did not expect the other party to know about the alternate technique. Could he be from the Qian Family?
However, Ye Chong's last sentence almost made him jump.
The method of using the powder of the Three Star Rock to replace the Luo Mian Grass was developed by none other than a senior of his school.
Who was he? Master Yan's expression changed. If not for the disguise on his face, his expression would have been very interesting to watch. The fact that he was still able to remain seated after someone had so casually revealed the secrets of his sect could only mean that his cultivation was quite profound. The last sentence about the 31 types of neutralizing agents shocked him even more. He racked his brain and could only think of 17. There were still 14 that he did not know about.
Ye Chong's teacher suddenly became a mystery to Master Yan.
Wang Lu was highly respected in the Wang Family Village, not because of his combat prowess, but because of his honest character and integrity. It was the first time for many of the people present to see Wang Lu in action. It was only then that the Wang Family Village people realized that the usually honest elder was actually a master of martial arts.
The Wang Family's combat prowess was in swordsmanship, and Wang Lu displayed the Wang Family's swordsmanship to its fullest. Sword after sword, seemingly unhurried, like he was taking a stroll in the park. However, the sword seemed to weave a cocoon around Rui Bing, binding her within.
Rui Bing did not look anxious at all. She was as calm as still water. His footsteps were light and graceful. Occasionally, he would make a move, which would always cause Wang Lu to be flustered. She looked like she was in danger now, but she was actually not. In terms of close combat, there were not many people in the world who could compare to Ye Chong. Rui Bing and Ye Chong had sparred many times, and both of them did not have the habit of holding back. Rui Bing would not panic in this situation.
She was as calm as ice. The Wang Family's swordsmanship slowly became familiar to her.
Ye Chong was still discussing with Master Yan. Master Yan tried his best to focus on the topic with Ye Chong, but for some reason, he found that his thoughts kept wandering.
The two of them chatted on and off. Master Yan's knowledge in alchemy was much better than Ye Chong's, and his experience was much better than Ye Chong's. The experiences he casually mentioned were always useful to Ye Chong. As for Fei Si, she could only listen to whatever the two of them were talking about.
Slowly, the Wang Family's swordsmanship appeared before Rui Bing's eyes. Wang Lu's expression grew more and more serious, and the people around him grew more and more worried. Everyone could see that the longer this went on, the more unfavorable it would be for Wang Lu.
Amidst the waves of swordsmanship, a girl in white moved freely.
Of course, Wang Lu understood. He was about to tighten his grip when Rui Bing suddenly moved. She slid to the side, dodging Wang Lu's sword by a hair's breadth, and moved forward.
Wang Lu was shocked. His wrist exerted force, and the hilt of his sword struck towards Rui Bing. He blocked with his palm, and Rui Bing's eyes flashed. She kicked out silently.
Although Wang Lu was surprised by Rui Bing's close approach, he did not panic. His right hand let go of his sword, and attempted to counter Rui Bing with his palm. He raised his left leg, and blocked Rui Bing's kick from below. Peng, Wang Lu's figure instantly became unstable, and he staggered backwards. Wang Lu was extremely shocked. What a great power! No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell that a woman could actually have such great strength!
Rui Bing's eyes flashed. Her slightly bent left leg suddenly straightened, and she rushed towards Wang Lu like a snow-white swan, close to the ground. Within that breathtaking beauty, there was a killing intent that was as cold as ice. Rui Bing's long hair fluttered. Her eyes were sharp as knives. Her right arm was half-bent, and her fist was clenched, ready to strike.
It was time for a showdown!
Wang Lu was ashen. He looked at Rui Bing's unpredictable figure approaching. He knew he had lost.
Perhaps, she would kill him! Everything around him slowed down. The feeling of death was so clear. As a challenger, the opponent had no reason to spare his life. Moreover, how could the opponent not feel the murderous intent in his sword?
Wang Lu was right. Rui Bing did want to kill him. Rui Bing would not have any murderous intent in this kind of challenge. But the murderous intent in Wang Lu's sword finally made her angry. She could clearly feel the opponent's intention to kill her. As a true martial artist, she also had her own pride! Moreover, she was no longer the naive young girl from before.
She decided to teach Wang Lu a lesson.
At this moment, a strong sense of danger rose in her heart.
Her expression changed. She suddenly leaned to the side. A green light flashed past her sleeve. Hiss, a hole appeared on her snow-white training clothes.
Madam Wang stood in front of Wang Lu with her sword. She was the one who had ambushed him. At this time, her heart was extremely complicated. Logically speaking, it was absolutely taboo for her to launch a sneak attack, but she also saw Rui Bing's murderous intent. If she asked her to watch her husband die in the hands of others, she would never be able to do it.
The faces of the surrounding Wang Family Village's people were a little embarrassed, but no one said a word. Even Wang Zishi had a conflicted expression. Although he knew that his master and his wife's actions had violated the rules of the martial arts world, he could not say anything. He could not just watch his master die in the hands of others. After so many years of nurturing, his master and his wife were like his parents to him.
A few people in the crowd sneered. This was like a slap to the faces of the Wang Family Village people. Everyone's expression was very ugly. Everyone then remembered that there were not only people from Wang Family Village in the crowd. There were also many people who were watching the show. However, these people who were watching the show were tactful. No one was stupid enough to stand up and say anything. This was no different from courting death.
Wang Lu and his wife stood side by side with their swords.
Rui Bing was expressionless. Her sharp eyes made Wang Lu and his wife feel guilty. Rui Bing did not say anything. She knew that it was useless to say anything now. Her left hand nimbly pulled off the torn sleeve of her right hand, revealing her snow-white wrist.
She was really angry now. She never would have thought that there would actually be someone who would forcefully go against the law of the combat world that could not be violated. As a stickler for tradition, she was thoroughly enraged.
She would fight with all her might.
Ye Chong stood up and bid farewell to Master Yan. Today's discussion was like every other discussion. He learned a lot. Master Yan, however, seemed to be out of his mind. Ye Chong was surprised, but tactfully did not ask anything. He probably did not expect that the culprit behind Master Yan's current state was him.
Ye Chong brought Fei Si with him as he walked back to his quarters.
