are shaken by the name ‘Murong Fu’. The voice reply: “Are you the Murong Fu who specialize in ‘Returning you with your own move’?” Murong Fu said: “I don’t deserve it, yes its my insignificant self.” The person said: “Gusu Murong family is not insignificant. Light the lamp! Everyone let us meet him!”
When he finish speaking, a yellow lamp suddenly rise up in the south-east corner, immediately after red lamp rise up at the west and north-west corner. In a split second, light rise up in all direction, some are lantern, some are torch, some are Kongming lantern, some are firewood, the light brought by various Cave-masters and Island-masters are different, some are simple, some are intricate. Originally nobody knows their hiding location but now light shine upon everyone’s face, its truly a strange sight.
There are male, female, handsome people, ugly people, monks, priests, some wore long sleeves, some wore short sleeves, some are old man with long beard, some are women with hair rolled up, their clothing came in all shape and sizes, different from those from Central Plains, alot of them are carrying weapons but their weapons are shaped oddly, its difficult to identify them. Murong Fu clasped his hands and greeted in four directions, he said brightly: “Welcome, Gusu Murong Fu greet you.” Some of the crowd return his greetings, some ignored him.
A person to the west said: “Murong Fu, your Gusu Murong family like to show off its prestige at Central Plains, so be it. But you come to this Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals and run amuck without restrain, you really don’t respect us at all? You claim to specialize in ‘Returning you with your own move’, then let me ask you, how are you going to return my move?”
Murong Fu look towards the voice, a big-head old man is sitting cross-legged on a rock to the west, his big head bald and shiny, not a single strand of hair at all, his face filled with blood, when gazing from afar he look just like a big red ball. Murong Fu cupped his fist and said: “Welcome! May i ask your great name?”
The person hold onto his belly and laugh, he said: “Old man is testing you, i want to see if Murong family is genuine talent or just someone with false reputation. I ask you a question just now: How are you going to return my move. As long as you answer it correctly, i don’t care how others react, but old man will never trouble you again. Wherever you like to go, you can simply go!”
Murong Fu considered the current situation, he know he cannot resolve the matter by talking out of it, he must display a few of his moves, he said: “Since this is the case, i will trade a few moves, senior please make you move!”
The person roll on the floor and laugh, he said: “I am the one testing you, i am not asking you to test me. If you cannot answer, then quickly take back your ‘Returning you with your own move’ reputation!”
Murong Fu knit his brows, he pondered: “You just sit there motionless, i don’t know your sect, i don’t know your name, how would i know your most proficient move? How can i return it when i don’t know your move?”
As he was muttering and thinking, the big-head old man sneered: “My friends from 36 Caves and 72 Islands are scattered all over the world, they don’t interfere with on-goings in Central Plains. There is a fierce tiger hidden in the mountain but the little monkey dare claims to be king, you are boy still wet behind the ears, unexpectedly you go so far as to be some ‘Northern Qiao Feng, Southern Murong’, hehe! Laughable, laughable, shameless, shameless! Let me tell you, its not difficult for you to escape today, you just have to kowtow 10 times to every single Cave-masters and Islands-masters from 36 Caves and 72 Islands, a total of 1080 kowtow and we will let you baby dolls walk away.”
Bao BuTong suppressed his anger for a long time, he can no long hold it in, he shouted loudly: “You invite my young master to return you with your own move and then ask him to kowtow. Your consummate skill, my young master can’t learn it, hey hey, laughable, laughable, shameless, shameless!” unexpectedly he copied the big-head old man’s speech pattern and tone perfectly.
The big-head old man cough and spit a mouthful of phlegm, it flew towards Bao BuTong’s face. Bao BuTong slanted his body to avoid, the phlegm flew past his left ear, suddenly it turn around in mid-air and shot towards Bao BuTong’s forehead. The force in this phlegm is not light, Bao BuTong hastily sidestep, he realized that the phlegm is targeting his ‘Yangbai acupoint’ between his eyebrow.
Murong Fu was shocked: “Its not strange that this old man’s phlegm contained internal energy and targeted acupoints. The strange thing is that after firing the phlegm, unexpectedly it can turn around in mid-air.”
The big-head old man chucked: “Murong Fu, old man don’t want you to return me with my own move, if you can tell me the origin of this phlegm then old man will be convinced of your ability.”
Murong Fu pondered quickly, ideas flew at lightning speed, but he simply can’t recall it, suddenly he heard Wang YuYan’s gentle and soft voice: “Island-master DuanMu, you completely mastered this [Going and Coming, Five Rice Divine Skill], its really not easy. But you must have killed quite a few living things in the process. My young master knows that its not easy to train, thus he is unwilling to reveal the origin in order to avoid incurring the jealousy of your friends. Don’t tell me my young master will use this skill to deal with you?”
Murong Fu was shock yet happy, he never heard of this [Five Rice Divine Skill] before, unexpectedly his cousin is aware of it, but he don’t know if its correct or wrong.
Originally, the old man had a blood-red face, but in an instant his face lost all its colour, however it turn back red again immediately, he laugh and said: “Baby doll talking rubbish, how can you understand it? [Five Rice Divine Skill] harms other for one’s personal benefit, its vicious and dangerous, why would i even train it? But unexpectedly you know of old man’s name, its really not easy.”
Wang YuYan heard his reply, she knew she guess correctly, he merely refuse to admit it, she said: “Hainan Island Five Finger Mountain Scarlet Flame Cave Cave-master DuanMu, in the martial arts fraternity who don’t know about you? Cave-master DuanMu, if that skill is not [Five Rice Divine Skill], then it must be some other wonderful skill derived from [Ground Fire Skill].”
The [Ground Fire Skill] is the elementary skill of Scarlet Flame Cave. The sect leader of Scarlet Flame Cave has always been surnamed DuanMu, this big-head old man is called DuanMu Yuan, when he heard Wang YuYan reveal his personal history and she gloss over the [Five Rice Divine Skill], he had favourable impression of her, moreover his Scarlet Flame Cave is just some small obscure sect, but unexpected she claims ‘who don’t know about you’, his even happier, he smiled and said: “Correct, correct, this is just some insignificant skill derived from [Ground Fire Skill]. Old man said in advance, since young lady identified my origin then i will not trouble you anymore.”
Suddenly someone shouted from afar: “Gusu Murong, your reputation is really well deserved!” Murong Fu raised his hands and said: “A novice is making a fool of himself before experts, i don’t deserve your praise!” at this moment, a ray of golden light and silver light shoot out from the ground on the left-hand side, the sound is sharp and pure as it split the air. Murong Fu dare not be negligent, he generated a blast of wind with his sleeves and clash with it, there is a loud crashing sound, the ray of golden light and silver light roll back and retreat. Murong Fu finally saw it clearly, its two long belt, one of them is gold in colour, the other is silver in colour.
Two old men are standing at the end of the belt, the one wielding the golden belt is wearing silver robe, the one wielding the silver belt is wearing golden robe. The gold and silver sparkled brilliantly, its extremely gorgeous, ordinary people definitely don’t wear these gold and silver robe, its must be some stage actor. The old man wearing the silver robe said: “Admirable, admirable, receive another move from us brothers!” golden light flickered, the golden belt arrive from the left, however the silver belt flew towards the sky and then drop down, directly attacking the top of Murong Fu’s head.
Murong Fu said: “Both seniors….” he only manage to say these words, suddenly there is the sound of rushing wind, three sabres sweep up from the ground. Three men use their ground-fighting skill and they attacked Murong Fu’s lower body.
Murong Fu’s top, front, left, he is being attacked in all 3 directions simultaneously, he pondered: “My opponent call themselves Cave-masters of 36 Caves, Islands-masters of 72 Islands, they have many men, if they carry on tangling with me and i don’t show them my power, i wonder when will this end?” He saw three sabres sweeping towards him, immediately he kick three times, every kick landed on his opponent’s wrist, white light flickered and the three sabres flew up into the air. Murong Fu slanted his body to the side, his right hand brush horizontally and he executed his [Star Shifting Movement] skill and prod the golden belt, there is a ‘Pa’ sound, the golden belt and silver belt coil together.
The three men who displayed their ground-fighting sabre skills lost their sabre, they did not retreat, they shouted ‘HeHe’, they open their arms and hug Murong Fu’s leg. Murong Fu’s foot flew up, he move like the wind and kick the three men’s chest acupoint in quick succession. Suddenly, a black-robe man with long arm and long leg jumps forward, he spread out his fan-like hand and smack towards Murong Fu. Murong Fu saw the move is steady and ruthless, obviously this man’s martial art is much stronger than the others, he pondered: “This man must be the chief of the group, i must subdue him first to make it easier to negotiate.”
Murong Fu leap up, he vaulted over the three men who are reclining on the ground, he strike out his right palm, directly attacking the black-robe man. The black-robe man sneered, he raise a blade horizontally and block in front of his chest, a green light sparkled in front of him, its an exceptionally sharp serrated-sabre, the edge of the blade is facing outward. If Murong Fu really landed his palm, he will be severing his own wrist. Murong Fu did not withdraw his palm move, when his palm is 2 inch away from the blade, suddenly he change his slapping move to a sweeping move, his palm follow along the edge of the blade and swipe downward, he scrape the black-robe man’s fingers.
The edge of his palm is filled with internal energy, its sharpness is no less than the serrated-sabre, the force in it is sufficient to slice off fingers or break an arm. The black-robe man was caught off-guard, he cry out in surprise and hastily release the sabre, he flip his palm and meet it head-on, there is a ‘Pa’ sound, the two men clashed palm. The black-robe man cry out in surprise again, his body sway and he leap 1 zhang backward. Murong Fu turn his palm and grab the serrated-sabre, a burst of fishy smell assaulted his nose, he nearly vomited, he knew the blade is smeared with deadly poison, its extremely sinister and demonic.
Although he seize his opponent’s weapon in a single move, but he saw 7-8 people raising their weapons, they block in front of the black-robe man and protected him, when he clash palm with the black-robe man, although the man’s internal energy is inferior to his but its also quite strange, as for seizing of weapon the man is merely caught off-guard, if they really fight for real he would not be able to secure victory in just a few moves.
Under such circumstances, he can only show off his skills to display his might and then request to walk away freely, he shouted, he brandish the serrated-sabre and rush towards the crowd of people. Everyone shouted:
“Everyone be careful! This person is wielding the ‘Verdant Wave Fragrant Dew Sabre’, don’t let him cut you.”
“Ayo, Wu LaoDa’s ‘Verdant Wave Fragrant Dew Sabre’ got taken away by this young chap, this is terrible!”
Murong Fu wave the sabre and move forward, the monks, priest, ugly men, pretty women, all of them scattered and ran, their expression extremely fearful, Murong Fu presumed this serrated-sabre must have some great history, but its simply too smelly, its known as ‘Fragrant Dew Sabre’ which is ridiculous, he pondered: “If i wield this poison-sabre, its not difficult to kill 10 or 8 Cave-masters or Island-masters, but i have no animosity or hatred with them, why the need to take their lives?” Although he brandish and wave the sabre around, he never injure anyone, he push down 1 person and kick down 2 person.
Initially, everyone was extremely frighten, but they saw the power of the sabre was not formidable, they calm down, in a split second, long sword and short halberd, soft whip and hard tablet, everyone attacked from all four sides. Around 10 people surrounded Murong Fu at the boundary, outside the boundary 300-400 people encircled layer upon layer.
After fighting for a short period of time, Murong Fu pondered: “When will it ever end if i carry on fighting like this? It seems i must start killing people.” His sabre move is very tight, there is two ‘Peng Peng’ sound, he used the sabre’s shaft to knock two person unconscious. Suddenly Deng BaiChuan shouted: “Shameless pervert, don’t you dare alarm the lady!” Murong Fu shoot a glance, he saw 2 person leaping up and attacking Wang YuYan who is on top of a pine tree. Deng BaiChuan flew forward to rescue, he wave his palm to intercept them. Murong Fu was somewhat relax, but another 3 person leap at the pine tree, at once he understood their intentions: “They cannot beat me, thus they want to capture my cousin and coerce me, its really shameless to the extreme.” But his surrounded by an entire group of people, he cannot get away, he saw 2 women grabbing Wang YuYan’s arm and jumping down from the tree. A long hair toutuo with a golden ring on his head stick out his Buddhist monk’s knife and place it horizontally across Wang YuYan’s neck, he shouted: “Murong chap, if you don’t surrender, i will chop your good friend!”
Murong Fu was stunned, he pondered: “These people are incomparably vicious, they will really injure my cousin, what should i do? My Murong family move around unhindered in the martial arts fraternity, how can we surrender? If we surrender, then how can we conduct ourselves with dignity in the future?” he hesitated, but his hands did not slow down the slightest bit, he smack out his left palm twice, 2 person got hit and flew out a zhang.
The toutuo shouted again: “You really won’t surrender, i will slice off this precious and pretty head off!” his Buddhist monk’s knife sway, the cutting edge of the knife flickered with green light.
