Leng Yuqiu looked sideways at the source of the voice.
"Who are you?" Leng Yuqiu rarely took the initiative to ask for the other person's name, but when he saw the speaker, a warrior's instinct made him curious.
"Cheng Yong." Cheng Yong responded in a calm tone.
He and Leng Yuqiu had a lot in common — their martial arts were very high, and the people in Jianghu didn't know the upper limit of their strength. In addition … the two of them didn't like to talk much except when they were killing people.
"Are you Wang Qiong's guard?" Leng Yuqiu thought for two seconds and asked again.
"Yes." Cheng Yong replied.
"Hmm …" Leng Yuqiu nodded. "I've heard of your name. Now that I've met you …" As he spoke, the sword in his hand left Feng Bujue's neck. "You really live up to your reputation."
"I haven't made a move yet, and you already know that I live up to my reputation?" Cheng Yong continued.
"Of course …" Leng Yuqiu said, "Based on your footwork, aura, and …" His gaze slowly moved to the pair of weapons in Cheng Yong's hands, "… the pair of jade hooks in your hands … I can already conclude that your martial arts are not inferior to Duan Keyi or Daoist Cotton."
"Then …" Cheng Yong said again, "You should also understand why I'm waiting here."
"Ha …" Leng Yuqiu smiled slightly. "I understand, but I think … you won't be able to achieve your goal."
"You think I can't beat you?" Cheng Yong asked.
"You can't." Leng Yuqiu shook his head.
"Even if my martial arts are similar to Duan Keyi and Daoist Cotton, I can't beat you?" Cheng Yong asked.
"You can't beat me." Leng Yuqiu repeated.
"Even if 'hook' is the nemesis of 'sword', and I'm using 'jade hooks', I still can't beat you?" Cheng Yong asked again.
"You can't beat me." Leng Yuqiu said "you can't beat me" three times in a row in a very confident tone.
"Alas …" Cheng Yong sighed. Looking at his expression, he seemed to agree with Leng Yuqiu's point of view. "Okay."
After saying these two words, he did something very shocking — he ran away.
Even Leng Yuqiu did not expect such a turn of events. He just stood there in a daze, watching Cheng Yong use his Qing Gong to run back in the direction of Linlu Town.
"It's a little strange, isn't it?" Feng Bujue saw through his thoughts and laughed.
"What do you mean by this?" After Leng Yuqiu recovered from her shock, she turned to look at Brother Jue and asked.
"It's simple." Feng Bujue said, "We have two plans …" He shrugged and explained in a rather relaxed tone, "I think you can tell that we have already discussed the location beforehand. He will set up an ambush here, and I will be responsible for luring you here. However, after luring you here, there are two possibilities." He paused for a moment. "The first scenario is that after close observation and testing, if Cheng Yong feels that he can defeat you, or at least be on par with you, then I will be the one running away, and he will be responsible for holding you back. If possible … it would be best to kill you. "
"So …" Leng Yuqiu continued, "Right now, it belongs to the 'second scenario' in your plan?"
"Yes." Feng Bujue said bluntly, "Without a doubt … Cheng Yong admitted that he has no confidence in defeating you, or even being on par with you. So, I will be in charge of this place from now on, and he … has other tasks."
"Hmph …" Leng Yuqiu heard this and sneered.
"What's wrong? What's so funny? "Feng Bujue asked.
"Of course I'm laughing at your plan." Leng Yuqiu said.
"What's wrong with my plan?" Feng Bujue still looked very confident.
"Let's not talk about whether … you, who are staying here at this moment, can be my opponent," Leng Yuqiu said. Leng Yuqiu said, "Even if you can really deal with me for a while, what's the point?" He paused for half a second. "Taking a step back, if you really want to kill me, why do you have to run so far? As long as you lead me to a place a little farther away from my master, and then the two of you work together, the success rate … Wouldn't it be much higher than now? "
"Mm." Feng Bujue nodded. "It seems that … you understand the logic." With a smug look on his face, he continued, "Then I'll give you another chance. Think about it carefully and see if my plan is really that funny."
As soon as this sentence came out, Leng Yuqiu's smile froze, because he had already thought of something in hindsight …
Then, Leng Yuqiu really did as Brother Jue said … He rethought his analysis just now and realized where the problem was.
"Tsk …" The depression of miscalculation and the previous self-righteous inference quickly turned into a kind of anger, rushing straight to Leng Yuqiu's head. He snorted and stared at Brother Jue's face. "What an infuriating guy …"
"You've figured it out, haven't you?" Feng Bujue responded with a playful smile. "Yes, the point of my plan … is not to 'kill you', but to 'lead you to a certain distance and let your companions worry about your safety for a period of time'." He paused for a second and added, "To be honest, if you and 'Yue' insisted on hiding in the dark, it would be difficult for me. Fortunately, you chose to come out into the open and meet up with your master. This saved me a lot of trouble …"
When saying these words, Brother Jue seemed to be clear and at ease. Obviously, he had already thought of many foolproof strategies for today's situation. No matter what the actual situation was, he had a corresponding solution.
"Are you so sure … 'Yue' will come to me?" A few seconds later, Leng Yuqiu spoke again.
"I don't need to be sure, I just need to be more than 50% sure." Feng Bujue tilted his head and said, "Also … what do you think Cheng Yong's' mission 'is?"
Leng Yuqiu didn't know what Cheng Yong's mission was … Cheng Yong was probably going to pass on information, call for reinforcements, or spread the news that "Leng Yuqiu is dead" or "Leng Yuqiu is seriously injured".
These were only the things that Leng Yuqiu could think of in a short period of time. As for the things that he couldn't think of … Although he couldn't think of it himself, he knew very well that the kid in front of him must have thought of everything.
After this analysis of the situation, Leng Yuqiu immediately made the most reasonable decision at the moment — break the other party's hands and feet first and quickly bring him back to Linlu Town.
In this way, not only would he not violate his master's order to "keep him alive", but he could also effectively prevent his companions from falling into some kind of trap.
After thinking about what to do, he took action without saying a word …
Whoosh —
Just as Brother Jue finished his sentence, Leng Yuqiu suddenly made his move.
It was reasonable to say that a person like Leng Yuqiu wouldn't suddenly attack others without saying a word, but when he thought of Brother Jue's qinggong and his cunning personality … he decided, "In order to pursue a successful attack, I'd better give up a little of the reservedness and demeanor of an expert."
However, what Leng Yuqiu didn't expect was that … his opponent was someone who stood on the "other side of the bottom line" from the beginning, looking down on … oh no … looking up at all living beings. To make a "sudden attack" in front of Feng Bujue, it was already polite to say that he was "displaying his slight skill in front of an expert".
If Leng Yuqiu's strength was more than twice that of Feng Bujue's, and he had cleverly hidden himself before the sneak attack, and was not discovered until the moment he made his move, then he might have a chance …
But the reality was …
"Wow, your palm technique is also not bad." Feng Bujue leisurely dodged his opponent's continuous attacks while saying in a mocking tone, "Your grappling hand is also quite good … It seems that your master is quite knowledgeable about the martial arts of the Central Plains."
While speaking, Leng Yuqiu had made ten moves in a row, but they were all resolved by Brother Jue's strange posture and footwork.
In the face of this kind of opponent who "didn't dare to kill" and was limited to melee attacks, Feng Bujue could use zero time difference calculation to toy with him at will.
"Humph …" Leng Yuqiu was not stupid. After ten moves, he already understood that it was absolutely impossible to take down his opponent in this way. "My master didn't teach me the martial arts of the Central Plains …" He stopped attacking as he spoke. "These … I learned them from the masters of the Central Plains who were defeated by me."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that … you also know the ability of 'mirror'?"
"You know quite a lot …" Leng Yuqiu also guessed the source of Brother Jue's information. "Did Wang Qiong tell you?"
"He did say a lot of things, but he didn't mention … your 'water' … can also imitate other people's martial arts," Feng Bujue continued.
"Ha … although there are reflections in 'mirror' and 'water', the two … are different." As Leng Yuqiu spoke, he untied the sword from his waist and inserted it into the ground. "My big brother practices the unique internal strength that my master taught him. This kind of martial arts allows him to 'imitate' ten thousand kinds of other people's martial arts, but no matter what the appearance is, in essence … he is still using his own set of martial arts. As for me … I'm not 'imitating', I'm simply 'learning' what I've seen."
What he said was a bit boastful, but it was true.
Leng Yuqiu's talent was the highest among the "Illusionary Flower, Water and Moon". Most of the martial arts that were not too complicated and in line with the common sense of martial arts (especially external martial arts), he could learn seventy to eighty percent of it just by looking at it once. If he were to compare notes with a master who practiced this kind of martial arts, he would have a high chance of completely mastering it.
"But … to be honest." Leng Yuqiu's words were not finished yet. "Even if it's easy to learn, there aren't many martial arts in the Central Plains that I can really practice. Because … so far, all the fist and palm techniques that I've learned in the Central Plains are far from what my master taught me. "
At this point, he had already tied up the hem of his white robe and wrapped it around his waist. He also put on a low center of gravity and a sideways posture to face the enemy.
"Ho ~" Seeing this, Feng Bujue still did not feel any pressure. "So your master not only knows how to wield a sword, but also knows how to fight with his fists and feet?"
"Speaking of which … I haven't asked for your name yet." Leng Yuqiu ignored Brother Jue's probing and asked a question in return.
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue thought for a moment. "Since you're about to die, I'll tell you …" As he spoke, he also put on a posture. His body was upright, his feet were slightly apart, his arms were raised high, his fingers were clasped together, his head was slightly raised, and his eyes were fixed on the sky. After putting on this inexplicable posture, he replied in a serious and somewhat narcissistic tone, "I … am the legendary … Poker Man."
"Nonsense!" Leng Yuqiu gave a very objective evaluation. Then, he took a big stride forward and threw a straight punch at Brother Jue's torso.
The moment he rushed forward, Feng Bujue's feet … also left the ground.
Leng Yuqiu originally thought that his opponent was simply "jumping up to dodge", so he also changed his move and jumped up, ready to chase after him.
Unexpectedly, Brother Jue maintained that upright posture and flew up in a straight line … higher and higher …
Soon, Leng Yuqiu's speed of ascension began to slow down, and then he began to fall. However, Feng Bujue … maintained a constant speed and flew up into the sky.
"How is this possible …" When Leng Yuqiu landed, he could not help but look up at the sky and whisper, "Can he fly?"
No, Brother Jue could not fly, and at this moment, he did not use Geppo.
Before he put on the posture just now, he quietly took out something from his backpack — [Poker Man Hero ID Card].
Originally, this card was useless after he quit the "Super Universe Alliance," but … Toad Man and Tin Foil Man jointly made a set of "Battle Armor" as a thank-you gift for Brother Jue's contribution to their universe, and used their black technology to store it in this card.
Now, Brother Jue had activated the "Transformation" effect of this card and transformed …
