Chapter 197: Martial Arts Chronicle: Gu Santong Fights Three Great Masters Alone
Cao Zhengchun waved his hand modestly and said, "Alas, how can my meager skills compare to those of the Divine Marquis? I would never dare to show off my limited abilities before an expert."
Cao Zhengchun, who had mastered the Heavenly Gang Child Skill, believed himself to be no weaker than either Gu Santong or Zhu Wushi. However, after witnessing Gu Santong's punch, Cao Zhengchun became somewhat uncertain.
Because of the power of that punch, Cao Zhengchun was unsure whether his Heavenly Gang Yuan Qi could withstand it.
It was precisely because of this that Cao Zhengchun became suspicious and began to doubt Zhu Wushi's true strength.
If Gu Santong is this strong, then how strong must Zhu Wushi, who imprisoned him in the Heavenly Prison, be?
Why hasn't Zhu Wushi attacked me after all these years of opposing him? Is he plotting something?
That's why Cao Zhengchun instigated Zhu Wushi to take action, wanting to test his abilities.
As for Zhu Wushi, he certainly wanted to kill Gu Santong.
If Gu Santong had stayed obediently in his cell, Zhu Wushi wouldn't have done anything to him.
For Zhu Wushi, Gu Santong, who was in prison, was a trophy. As long as Gu Santong stayed in prison, it proved that Zhu Wushi was stronger than Gu Santong, which gave Zhu Wushi a great sense of psychological satisfaction.
However, now that Gu Santong has escaped, he has become a hidden danger, and Zhu Wushi is naturally prepared to kill him as soon as possible.
However, Zhu Wushi hadn't expected so many people to come, so naturally he wouldn't be the one to stick his neck out.
Yu Huatian glanced at the two who were passing the buck to each other and sneered.
"Since neither of you is willing to take action, then this Chief Supervisor will not be polite."
Yu Huatian drew his twin swords from his waist, and with a fierce sword aura, he combined them with Guo Juxia's Shocking Wave Palm to attack Gu Santong.
Yu Huatian's mother-and-child swords are extremely peculiar. When used, the child sword moves closely to the mother sword, making it unpredictable and strange. It can also be flung into the air to attack enemies under Yu Huatian's control, just like the legendary sword control technique. However, the special materials of the mother-and-child swords, which contain magnets, combined with Yu Huatian's special internal force and technique, create such a magical effect.
At that moment, Yu Huatian flicked his wrist, and the sub-sword instantly detached from the mother sword, like a silver lightning bolt, piercing straight for Gu Santong's throat.
The sword light was extremely sharp and fast, almost impossible to catch, as if the air itself was being torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
Upon seeing this, Gu Santong's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.
He snorted coldly, unleashing his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to its fullest extent. His entire body shone with golden light, making him stand tall like a golden Arhat.
The sword pierced his throat, but it struck as if it had struck an indestructible rock, producing a crisp sound before being deflected away.
However, Yu Huatian did not stop there. His technique was extremely strange. The sword drew an arc in the air and flew back into his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he flicked his wrist and swung the sword out again, this time aiming straight for Gu Santong's eyes.
The sword light was like a venomous snake's tongue, so fast that it was difficult to react.
Gu Santong frowned slightly, clearly sensing the threat posed by the sword.
He dodged the sword's attack with a swift movement, but Yu Huatian's offensive did not stop.
The sword danced in the air, sometimes aiming for Gu Santong's vitals, sometimes sneaking up behind him to launch a surprise attack. The sword light flashed, dazzling the eyes.
Although Gu Santong was highly skilled in martial arts, he still had to be careful when dealing with Yu Huatian's strange mother-and-child sword technique.
Although his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill could withstand most attacks, Yu Huatian's sub-sword could always find his weaknesses, forcing him to constantly dodge.
As for Gu Santong's weakness, it is of course his eyes. His Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill can be described as an invincible body, but his eyes are something that cannot be trained. Closing his eyelids can ensure that his eyes are not injured, but how can he keep his eyes closed in battle?
"What a magnificent mother-and-child sword!"
Gu Santong sneered, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, "Yu Huatian, your swordsmanship does have some merit."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huatian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile: "Gu Santong, although your Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is powerful, you may not be able to escape unscathed from my Mother-Child Sword."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Huatian made another move. His sword, like a silver snake, danced in the air, its flashing light dazzling the eye.
Although Gu Santong was highly skilled in martial arts, he still had to be careful in dealing with Yu Huatian's strange swordsmanship.
Most importantly, Guo Juxia did not stop attacking Yu Huatian after he made a move. Instead, he continued to use the Surging Wave Palm to attack Yu Huatian from a distance, thus diverting most of Yu Huatian's attention.
Just then, Cao Zhengchun suddenly made his move, unleashing the Heavenly Gang Child Skill to its fullest extent. His Heavenly Gang Yuan Qi protected his body, making him impervious to blades and spears. He flashed forward, heading straight for Gu Santong, unleashing both palms simultaneously. The wind from his palms howled, aiming directly at Gu Santong's chest.
Cao Zhengchun unleashed his Heavenly Gang Child Skill to its fullest extent, his palms brimming with immense Heavenly Gang Yuan Qi, aimed directly at Gu Santong's chest. Upon seeing this, a hint of seriousness flashed in Gu Santong's eyes, but he remained calm.
He slightly turned his body, raised his right hand, and used the Shaolin martial art "Vajra Palm" to meet Cao Zhengchun's two palms.
The two palm strikes collided, producing a deafening roar. The shockwaves spread outwards, causing the surrounding vegetation to rustle.
Cao Zhengchun felt a tremendous force coming from his palm, which made his arms go numb. He was secretly shocked: "Gu Santong's Vajra Palm is so domineering!"
However, he did not back down. Instead, he took the opportunity to retreat half a step, flipped his palms, and attacked Gu Santong's ribs again.
Gu Santong sneered, raised his left hand, and used the Wudang School's "Tai Chi Cotton Palm" to neutralize Cao Zhengchun's attack, while his right hand continued to counterattack with the Mighty Vajra Palm.
At the same time, Yu Huatian's twin swords continued to fly in the air, their sword light flashing like a silver snake, constantly searching for Gu Santong's weaknesses.
Although Gu Santong used his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to protect himself, he still had to be distracted to deal with this strange sword technique.
He moved with incredible speed, sometimes using the Emei Sect's "Snowflake Piercing Cloud Palm" to repel Yu Huatian's sword light, and sometimes using the Kongtong Sect's "Seven Injury Fist" to counterattack. His moves were unpredictable and dazzling.
Guo Juxia's Shocking Wave Palm was even more domineering and unparalleled. His palm force was like a raging storm, attacking Gu Santong wave after wave.
Although Gu Santong used his indestructible Vajra Divine Skill to withstand the relentless palm strikes, he was forced to retreat repeatedly. However, he showed no signs of fatigue and instead fought with increasing ferocity.
He clasped his hands together and countered with the Kunlun School's "Blazing Palm," the force of which was as intense as the blazing sun, forcing Guo Juxia to temporarily evade the attack.
Chapter 198: Martial Arts Crossover: The Battle After Twenty Years
The three joined forces and launched a relentless offensive, but Gu Santong stood firm like a rock.
He was proficient in martial arts from various schools and sects, with endless variations in his moves. Sometimes he would use Shaolin's ultimate techniques to withstand attacks, sometimes he would use Wudang Tai Chi to neutralize them, and sometimes he would use Emei's Snowfall technique to counterattack. The smooth transitions between his moves made it seem as if these martial arts had long been integrated into his very bones and blood.
Upon seeing this, Yu Huatian was secretly astonished: "Gu Santong's martial arts skills are so profound. No wonder he was able to compete with Zhu Wushi back then!"
With a flick of his wrist, he sent the sword flying again, its light like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, aimed straight at Gu Santong's eyes.
Gu Santong snorted coldly, closed his eyes slightly, and actually withstood the sword with his eyelids. Then he opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly, and countered with the Kunlun Sect's "Tiangang Finger". The finger force was like a sharp arrow, heading straight for Yu Huatian's throat.
Yu Huatian hurriedly retreated, secretly shocked: "Gu Santong's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill can even train eyelids to such a level!"
With a flick of his wrist, he swung the sword again, its light flashing like a silver snake, constantly dancing, trying to find a weakness in Gu Santong's defenses.
However, Gu Santong stood firm like a rock. He clasped his hands together and used the Shaolin martial art "Vajra Palm" to withstand the attacks of the three men. His palm force was as heavy as a mountain, forcing the three men to retreat repeatedly.
Guo Juxia rubbed his numb hands, his eyes filled with apprehension, while secretly sizing up Zhu Wushi.
That's right, it's Zhu Wushi, not Gu Santong who is currently fighting him.
Gu Santong's strength is evident, but Zhu Wushi, who captured Gu Santong alive back then, doesn't usually perform that well.
Was there something else going on back then, or has Zhu Wushi been hiding it all these years?
The former is one thing, at most it's just a sneak attack or ambush. Although he is known as a great hero, his principle has always been to let the authorities catch the thieves, and he doesn't care about this kind of thing.
But if it's the latter, then that's very interesting. With Zhu Wushi's strength, how could he possibly be on par with Cao Zhengchun, and even repeatedly show that he was helpless against Cao Zhengchun?
As a member of the royal family, why are they hiding so deeply? Are they plotting something?
However, regardless of whether Zhu Wushi has any ulterior motives, isn't this a good opportunity to test him?
Guo Juxia feigned an opening, using the force of Gu Santong's punch to pretend to be knocked away by Gu Santong, and fell down next to Zhu Wushi.
"Why is the Divine Marquis hesitating? If you don't make a move now, when will you?"
Guo Juxia is an upright man, but not straightforward; on the contrary, he will use any means necessary to solve a case.
Inducing confessions, sending infiltrators, and scheming against each other—these are all Guo Juxia's specialties.
The same applies to acting. He would lie half-reclined on the ground, clutching his chest, his face pale, looking like he was seriously injured. Even Zhu Wushi couldn't tell the difference between reality and fiction.
However, Zhu Wushi had watched long enough and was ready to make his move. He pushed his palms out, and vast true energy surged from his palms. His palm force was like a raging sea, even more powerful than Guo Juxia's "Surging Wave Palm," and it crushed towards Gu Santong with an unstoppable momentum.
This palm strike seemed to change the very fabric of the world, compressing the surrounding air into a low hum, and even causing the ground to tremble slightly.
A hint of excitement flashed across Gu Santong's face, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. He laughed loudly, "Zhu Wushi, you've finally decided to make a move! The battle back then wasn't enough, so today we'll settle things with you!"
His voice boomed like a bell, making everyone's eardrums ache. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly clenched his fists, forcing Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian back, and then his figure moved like lightning, rushing towards Zhu Wushi.
The two men's palm and fist forces collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar. The shockwave swept around like a whirlwind, stirring up clouds of dust.
Although Guo Juxia had already retreated to the side, he was still shaken by the aftershocks, causing his blood to surge. He was secretly shocked: "These two are indeed peerless masters. No wonder they were able to amaze the world with their battle back then!"
Zhu Wushi remained calm, his palm strikes continuous and powerful, like the Yangtze River, each strike carrying the force to shatter mountains and split rocks.
Gu Santong, on the other hand, had a fierce and powerful style of punches, with wide and sweeping moves, each punch seemingly capable of shaking the heavens and the earth.
During their exchange, their moves were unpredictable. Sometimes they would clash head-on with Shaolin martial arts, sometimes they would neutralize with Wudang Tai Chi, and sometimes they would counterattack with Emei Snowfall. Every move was exquisite and dazzling.
Upon seeing this, Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun were both shocked and frightened, and for a moment they dared not rush forward to help.
Yu Huatian whispered to Cao Zhengchun, "Eunuch Cao, these two are too skilled in martial arts for us to handle. We should observe the situation and wait until they are both severely injured before reaping the benefits."
Cao Zhengchun nodded slightly, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes, clearly agreeing with the strategy.
Guo Juxia stood aside, his eyes gleaming, secretly pondering: "Zhu Wushi's martial arts are indeed unfathomable. No wonder he was able to capture Gu Santong alive back then. But why has he been hiding his strength all these years? Could it be that, as I suspect, he has other plans?"
Thinking of this, he became even more vigilant and secretly decided to be more careful in dealing with the situation.
Just then, Zhu Wushi suddenly changed his move, shifting his palm force and using the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" to redirect Gu Santong's fist force to the side, before striking Gu Santong's chest with a palm.
Although Gu Santong reacted extremely quickly, he was still hit by this palm strike and staggered back several steps.
But he didn't care at all, and instead laughed loudly: "Good! That's more like it! Zhu Wushi, you've finally shown your true skills, Fang!"
Gu Santong's muscles were taut, and he pushed his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to its limit. He grinned and attacked his old rival, Zhu Wushi.
Each step he took seemed to shatter the ground, his fists whistling through the air, carrying an overwhelming momentum as he pressed straight at Zhu Wushi.
However, Zhu Wushi remained calm and moved with lightning speed, quickly creating distance, clearly showing his extreme fear of Gu Santong's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.
"Gu Santong, your Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is powerful, but it is ultimately just brute force!"
Zhu Wushi sneered, flipped his palms, and his powerful true energy surged out like a river, transforming into sharp palm strikes that bombarded Gu Santong.
Each palm strike carried an overwhelming force, and although it failed to break through Gu Santong's defense, it forced him back several steps.
Gu Santong's muscles were taut, his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill pushed to its limit. He grinned maliciously as he attacked his old rival, Zhu Wushi. Each step he took seemed to shatter the ground, his fists whistling through the air with overwhelming force, directly confronting Zhu Wushi. However, Zhu Wushi remained calm, his movements as swift as the wind, quickly creating distance, clearly extremely wary of Gu Santong's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.
