Zhao Bouw's sword did not shine. Not even a speck of light could be seen. But when Hay-liong Lojin's sword light almost completely faded, his sword just glowed a piercing light. He moved his sword to attack seven times in succession.
Hay-liong Lojin roared in rage. His body that was floating down suddenly weakened. His forehead, throat, heart, chest and other parts had been stabbed seven times. From the seven holes of the wound, blood was seen flowing profusely. His clothes were full of red stains. His body fell to the ground hard. His eyes were still wide open. Of course he died of curiosity.
Zhao Bouw raised his sword and his mouth took a blowing style, he blew out the blood that was still on his blade. His appearance is very serene.
He put his sword back into the scabbard tucked at his waist. As if nothing had happened.
The Go-bi-pay members who saw Hay-liong Lojin's death, not a single one of them remained unchanged. But also no one dared to leave that place.
Zhao Bouw rolled his eyes. He knew that Go-bi-pay's students were already terrified by his prowess in swordsmanship. His face didn't even have a smile on his face. He faced east and dropped to his knees on the ground.
“Hay-liong Lojin insulted the college. Today, finally, Tecu can also clear the good name of our school by killing him. Hope Sifu is peaceful in the afterlife,” he muttered softly.
Unknowingly, the Go-bi-pay disciples all fell to their knees on the ground. Zhao Bouw slowly turned his body around.
“Go-bi-pay disciples, listen carefully! Starting today, we must uphold justice and prioritize revenge. Exterminate Bu-ti-bun and revive Go-bi-pay!” he cried aloud. Of course these words did not come from a sincere heart. It is conceivable that a human being as vicious and cunning as Zhao Bouw, how could he attach importance to revenge for It-im Taysu and his fellow martial brothers. His main goal is to stand out in the world of Kangouw and make a name for himself. He had not forgotten Song Ngo Lin who had defeated him several times in a row. But he had forgotten the favor of the help given by the young man.
–––
It's late. At the back of Wudang Mountain where there is a dense forest, Fu Giok-su is still seen actively practicing Coa-tiau-cap-sa-sut. That night when fighting against Song Ngo Lin, he felt that every attack he made was dodged or countered by Song Ngo Lin with ease. This strengthened his decision to train Coa-tiau-cap-sa-sut even harder.
From early in the morning until late at night, if he wasn't very tired, he still wouldn't stop. The coach-tiau-cap-sa-sut has many changes. This was not surprising since Tio Sam-hong created it by following the battle between the sacred eagle and the snake. The speed of these two beasts was almost the same. The difference is that one is agile on land while the other is agile in the air. Previously, Fu Giok-su practiced in a secret room where ciangbunjin practiced knowledge. But the place is less flexible. He couldn't develop his moves properly.
Hence, he chose the back of this mountain to practice.
Wudang-pay disciples seldom come to the back of this mountain. Especially at night like now.
So far, Fu Giok-su has never felt worried at all. Except tonight. Having only practiced until the twelfth move, he already felt someone's presence slowly approaching him. And that person's ginkang knowledge seems to be quite high. If he hadn't accidentally stepped on a dry branch and made a slight sound, Fu Giok-su would still not have noticed his presence.
Fu Giok-su held back his anger. He practiced continuously until all thirteen moves were completed. Then his body suddenly shot crashing towards the grove of trees where the person was hiding. At the same time, the sound of a flick of a sleeve broke the stillness of the night. A shadowy figure clad in black shot out from behind the trees and flashed forward with lightning speed.
Fu Jade-su continued to chase. The black clothed human shadow ran away as fast as flying. He took off more or less halfway then suddenly he slipped into the cave where the cold pool was. Inwardly Fu Giok-su felt suspicious. He considered for a moment, finally chasing inside.
It was cold in the cave. It was also pitch black. To the extent that the five fingers themselves were not visible. Carefully, Fu Giok-su crept forward. Then his ear caught the rustle of a sleeve.
"Who?" he snapped loudly.
No one answered, suddenly the situation in the cave became brightly lit instantly. Five flaming torches lit up at the same time. Behind the five torches, it turned out that they were sitting side by side with Thian-ti, Rain, Wind, Lightning and Thunder.
Fu Giok-su was shocked to death. “Yaya...!” he exclaimed involuntarily.
Thian-ti laughed dryly. “Giok-su, did you find it unexpected to see us appear?”
Fu Giok-su calmed his heart. He nodded twice.
"Has something happened in Siau-yau-kok?"
This time it was Tian-ti who nodded his head. “Siau-yau-how come Song Ngo Lin has destroyed him. We can't stay there anymore. This cold lake is a forbidden area for Wudang-pay disciples. By hiding in this place, I'm sure Song Ngo Lin definitely won't suspect it.”
Fu Jade-su's eyes shone brightly.
"Not wrong. If that Song Ngo Lin kid really searched all the way here, Sun-ji wouldn't even worry anymore!”
“This is precisely one of the purposes of our visit. We all hide here. Your secret has now been leaked. Sooner or later he will definitely find you. With us here, at least you still have some reliable help. Of course we hope his arrival the later the better!”
“Yaya's meaning...” Fu Giok-su didn't understand.
“Before he comes, you must mobilize the Wudang disciples to attack Bu-ti-bun. At that time I was sure that Song Ngo Lin would definitely not stay silent. Let's leave it until both parties are both injured, then we will step in to eradicate Bu-ti-bun as well as Wudang-pay!"
Fu Jade-su immediately developed a sly smile. “Sun-ji thinks this idea is brilliant!”
Thian-ti raised his head laughing out loud. The sound of his laughter resounded in the cave and shuddered the hearts of anyone who heard it, of course except for Fu Giok-su and his four subordinates.
Fu Jade-su frowned. It was as if he remembered something he didn't understand. “How could Song Ngo Lin attack Siau-yau-how come? Even though we didn't lure him there.”
“That brat sure is always causing trouble!”
Thian-ti's laughter shriveled up instantly. "Who else but Hiong-kun's slave!"
Hiong-kun? Fu Giok-su's face darkened again.
“Don't say that slave's name again!” Thian-ti's anger started to boil over. He paused for a moment to calm his turbulent feelings. “Oh yeah…. Did you know that Zhao Bouw has made himself Ciangbunjin Go-bi-pay? And he is now on his way to bring his students to this Wudang-san!”
Fu Jade-su furrowed his brows once again.
“Could it be that he came here to settle accounts with me for his eternal death at the hands of Song Liong Tojin the other day?”
"Maybe he also wants to invite Wudang-pay to work together to attack Bu-ti-bun," said Thian-ti with half-closed eyes.
Fu Giok-su immediately flashed a big smile.
"If that's true, that would be great. With the joining of Go-bi-pay and Wudang-pay, I'm not afraid that Bu-tibun can still stand a little longer.” He burst out laughing.
This time his voice was more sinister than Thian-ti's laugh earlier.
–––
Thian-ti's guess was not wrong. On the second day before the sun was overhead, Zhao Bouw's invitation letter had arrived. Of course Fu Giok-su welcomed him as Ciangbunjin Go-bi-pay.
Zhao Bouw expressed his interest in getting Wudang-pay to work together against Bu-ti-bun. Fu Giok-su greeted him happily. Even though Zhao Bouw was a smart young man, in terms of cunning, he was still far behind when compared to Fu Jade-su.
In the world of Kangouw, Fu Giok-su's origins are still a mystery. Whereas the Wudang-pay disciples trusted him completely without ever having the slightest hint of suspicion. Let alone other parties. His attitude was never in doubt. The way he spoke or faced guests was much more authoritative than Zhao Bouw.
Basically he is a descendant of famous figures. His ancestor once shook the world of martial arts as the most mysterious figure of his time. Be it upbringing or family tree, Zhao Bouw was nothing compared to him.
“Bu-ti-bun is the enemy of all Bu-lim. As long as Go-bi-pay and Wudang-pay join forces to attack him, other righteous parties will definitely not remain silent. They must have intervened to provide assistance to eradicate Bu-tibun's crimes that had been rampant for so long. Kuanciangbunjin's invitation was right. If we don't initiate it, the other parties certainly won't have the courage to take action given the magnitude and power of Bu-ti-bun in the present-day Kangouw world.”
"Not wrong!" Zhao Bouw replied in a heavy tone. “But a snake can't be without a head. We must choose a bengcu to lead this attack!”
Fu Jade-su pondered for a moment. Then he burst out laughing.
"If you count from age, Zhao heng should hold the position of junior."
Zhao Bouw was secretly happy to hear Fu Giok-su's words. But he pretends to reject it to look humble and not pretentious. "This decision is not fair. In Siaute's view, it was better to follow Bu-lim's rules.
Choosing a bengcu is based on the height of each martial art."
Zhao Bouw succeeded in defeating Hay-liong Lojin by relying on his Lok-jit-kiam-hoat which had reached the level of perfection. Of course his confidence is even greater now. Of course Fu Jade-su didn't refuse either. It's not easy to get an opponent like Zhao Bouw. Incidentally, he can test the results of the Coa-tiau-cap-sa-sut training he has trained.
One of the Wudang disciples immediately went down the mountain to retrieve Zhao Bouw's sword which had been left there. Fu Giok-su himself didn't use the weapons he usually used. He carelessly took a stick from the weapon storage. This time he wasn't in the least bit interested in using Wudang-slick-tricks against his opponent.
–––
Outside the pavilion the wind was blowing hard. The limit is just to write each other only. But when the two people started fighting fiercely, the Wudang disciples' hearts suddenly tensed up.
Zhao Bouw intended to finish the match as soon as possible. As soon as he faced Fu Giok-su, he immediately played the last three moves of Lok-jit-kiam-hoat. The attacks were intense. First of all Fu Jade-su dodged the attack at random.
But when Zhao Bouw started playing the second move, he couldn't hold back. Coa-tiau-cap-sa-sut was immediately launched. Fu Giok-su's body slid like a powerful eagle aiming for its prey. Sometimes its movements change like a snake ready to bite.
One time he was floating in the air, a moment later he seemed to be crawling above the ground. The changes he made successively looked very complicated. Even people whose knowledge was not that high immediately had dizzy eyes following Fu Jade-su's movements.
Zhao Bouw was completely shocked. The last three moves of Lok-jit-kiam-hoat had been fully deployed, but he still couldn't hold Fu Giok-su let alone touch his body. Just as he was about to deploy the last three moves of Lok-jitkiam-hoat, Fu Giok-su's stick swooped down to threaten him.
Zhao Bouw didn't dare to hesitate. He quickly took a few steps back. Fu Giok-su instead was like a snake lunging on and on. The speed was simply staggering. Toya in his hand is also like a venomous snake ready to bite its enemy. Sixty-four times in a row he attacked Zhao Bouw. In his sixty-fourth attack, Fu Giok-su saw Zhao Bouw's weak point. Toyanya immediately lunged in. It looked like the blade was about to crush the base of Zhao Bouw's arm. But at that tense moment, Fu Giok-su suddenly pulled back his weapon and then his movements stopped.
Zhao Bouw's face changed greatly. But he was trying to hold back his annoyance. His own sword was drawn back.
“Wudadang-pay's conservatory knowledge turned out to be an unparalleled heirloom. I Zhao Bouw admit defeat. Fu-heng's position of bengcu is rightly held!”
Fu Jade-su shook his head. “Even though Siaute won half a move, but after all experience in the world of Kangouw is still shallow. In Siaute's opinion, it's better not to choose bengcu. Big or small, we negotiate together and seek a fair decision!”
“This...” Zhao Bouw looked at Fu Jade-su intently. But he found nothing suspicious. The words issued by Fu Giok-su were sincere. His heart moved. He already has a mature calculation. Finally he nodded his head in agreement with Fu Giok-su's suggestion earlier.
Fu Giok-su immediately invited Zhao Bouw to sit in the inner room. Meanwhile, he also ordered one of his men to deliver a letter of challenge to Tok-ku Bu-ti. The letter stated that he had invited Tok-ku Bu-ti to meet at Kuan-jit-hong, Giok-hong-teng, to fight fairly.
The promised half-year deadline had also almost arrived.
“When I fought Tok-ku Bu-ti at Giok-hongteng. Zhao Heng immediately gathered the disciples of Go-bi-pay and Wudang-pay and launched an attack on Bu-ti-bun.
Exterminate the association until it's clean," Fu Giok-su put forward a strategy that he had thought out carefully.
Of course Zhao Bouw agreed. With Fu Giok-su's martial arts knowledge, if he could beat Tok-ku Bu-ti, he himself would not have been spared from serious injuries. At that time, he had just stepped in to face Fu Giok-su and, if necessary, usurped his position as Ciangbunjin Wudang-pay.
He definitely didn't reveal his heart to anyone. Even his face didn't show any feelings.
Until he begged Fu Jade-su and descended down the mountain, he had only let out a cold chuckle twice. But only twice that sound of cold laughter alone.
Fu Jade-su himself didn't show any feelings either.
–––
At night, the third clapper just sounded. In the cold lake, Fu Giok-su put forward the strategy he would carry out in front of Thian-ti.
“In today's fight, although I risked defeating Zhao Bouw recklessly, but in the view of the Wudang-pay disciples, the current position is like a big and sturdy tree. Besides, I didn't lose Zhao Bouw's face in public either. Of course the man is secretly grateful and the Wudang students think Sun-ji is a big heart. Zhao Bouw was a proud and snobbish human. The ambition is also very big. I know what's in his heart. He must have thought that in the fight against Tok-ku Bu-ti, I would at least be seriously injured. He himself would definitely do everything in his power to eradicate Bu-ti-bun.
At that time, we just caught him and it's not too late.” Thian-ti saw his grandson being so smart and resourceful, of course his heart was beyond words.
–––
That same night, Tok-ku Bu-ti had made a decision. He will marry Tok Ku Bwee to Li Cu. Of course Li Cu accepted the decision happily. Meanwhile, Tok Ku Bwee was very surprised. He immediately locked himself in his room and saw no one.
The news quickly spread to all Bu-ti-bun offices and branches. Even Sen Man-cing's lady-in-waiting named Guat Ngo had also heard of this news. After receiving the report from Guat Ngo, Sen Man-cing still showed no reaction. He sat pensively for about half a pound. Finally he ordered Guat Ngo to invite Tok-ku Bu-ti to come to his residence.
Tok-ku Bu-ti himself also considered it for a long time before he stepped towards Liong-hong-kek.
–––
The night breeze blew through the window blinds. Sen Man-cing was still sitting where he was. In front of him was a lantern waving in the wind. When his ears caught the sound of human footsteps, he turned his head.
He saw Tok-ku Bu-ti stepping into the room, he quickly turned his head. Seeing that situation, Tokku Bu-ti let out a cold laugh once. He turned around walking towards the door. There he stopped his footsteps.
"Did I enter the wrong?" he asked flatly.
"You didn't go wrong. But what you did can only be said to be a big mistake!” Sen Man-cing's tone was even colder.
"Big mistake?" Of course Tok-ku Bu-ti knew what Sen Man-cing meant, but he pretended not to know. “What kind of thing are you referring to?”
“This one business!”
"I think you might mean Hong-ji's wedding." Sen Man-cing did not deny it.
"Finally you have to beg me too," said Tok-ku Bu-ti laughing proudly.
"I'm just reminding you," said Sen Man-cing one by one. "Hong-ji has no feelings for Li Cu at all."
"Feelings can be cultivated slowly."
"Does a human like you understand what is called feeling?"
"I only know that I have the right to arrange Hong-ji's marriage!"
“But you have to think for Hong-ji's sake. Marriage is not a game. This is a big problem that will affect Hong-ji for the rest of his life!” Sen Man-cing's tone was so sad. “You forced her to marry a man she didn't love. Isn't it the same as you want to make him suffer all this life?”
“Any matter only I have the right to determine. It has nothing to do with you!"
“Hong-ji is my biological child. How can you say it has nothing to do with it?”
"Your biological child!" Tok-ku Bu-ti's face turned green.
"Then, why don't you tell me frankly what you did in the past?"
With a heavy heart, Sen Man-cing lowered his head. Tok-ku Bu-ti also doesn't talk much anymore. He turned his back and walked out. He slammed the bedroom door loudly.
Sen Man-cing raised his head.
His mouth opened, but in the end he stopped calling.
His head hung lower and lower. He took several deep breaths. I don't know how much time has passed,
Suddenly there was a sound of a door being pushed from outside. Sen Fishing sighed once again.
"Have you reconsidered?" he asked with his head still bowed.
"Mother, what should he reconsider?" who entered apparently Tok Ku Bwee.
Sen Man-cing was stunned. He raised his head slowly. “Hong-ji, it's late. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Isn't mother also the same?"
"In this state, how can it be possible to sleep soundly?"
Sen Man-cing took another breath. Tok Ku Bwee was silent.
"Mother already knows everything," said Sen Man-cing in a sad tone.
The two pondered for a long time.
"You don't want to marry Li Cu, do you?" again Sen Man-cing opened his voice.
Tok Ku Bwee nodded his head. Sen Man-cing laughed out loud. "It's a good decision of yours. Instead of suffering for life," said Sen Man-cing further.
“But Tia insisted...”
“Your father is narrow minded. Hong-ji, what about your own decision?”
Tok Ku Bwee's eyes shone brightly. “I will leave this place!”
"What you feel good, do it!" Sen Man-cing stroked Tok Ku Bwee's hair. “But the world of Kangouw is full of evil and cunning. You must be careful!”
"Mom will be even lonelier later!"
“You don't need to worry. Mother is used to it."
"Mother, we better go together!"
Sen Man-cing shook his head. Tok Ku Bwee is feeling surprised. “Mother, I really don't understand...”
"Surely you will understand. If I leave now, the fault lies with your mother. Come on, you better go alone!”
“Then right now Hong-ji excuses herself to Mother. Please take good care of yourself," Tok Ku Bwee fell and knelt on the ground. He worshiped three times. When he stood up his tears were already welling up. Sen Man-cing endured the pain in his heart. Until Tok Ku Bwee left the room, then his tears flowed profusely.
–––
It was hot on the second day. Tok-ku Bu-ti just found out that Tok Ku Bwee has disappeared. He was furious. He immediately returned to the pavilion room and took down the Blood Palm Banner. He ordered all of his members to kill Tok Ku Bwee if they managed to find the girl.
No one dared to forbid. So did Li Cu. This time, Tok-ku Bu-ti's anger seemed to really explode.
–––
The atmosphere was eerily silent. Morning has come. Sunlight was shining through the window. Tok Ku Bwee is awake. He looked around the old house where he was.
Unknowingly he took a deep breath.
It was the second day he had left Bu-ti-bun. The feeling of loneliness and solitude increasingly clung to his heart. The current state was not the same as the first time he left Bu-ti-bun in anger.
Now he has no home to return to. Where he was headed, he had no idea. As long as there is still a path in front of him that can be taken, he walked on. He had no idea that his trail was already under the surveillance of Bu-ti-bun investigators and the report had reached the head office.
The sound of sighs was still heard, someone had appeared at the door. The person looked at him with a grin.
“It seems that my arrival at this time was indeed the right one. Not to shock Toasiocia's sweet dreams!”
“Kiu-bwe-hu!” exclaimed Tok Ku Bwee without realizing it after seeing clearly who the person who had entered was. "What did you come here for?"
––––––––
Kiu-bwe-hu's hand moved. He had grasped a Blood Palm Banner. "An order from Pangcu, please Siocia come with me home right now!"
"If I'm not ready?"
"Pangcu also issued an order, if you disobey, you can be killed!"
Tok Ku Bwee laughed coldly. His machete was immediately removed.
“If you dare to get in my way, my saber won't hesitate to kill you either!”
"It seems I have no other choice. Forgive my impudence!” Again Kiu-bwe-hu's hands shook.
“Tars!” a long whip jerked forward. Tok Ku Bwee's machete immediately spun. Two rolls of sparkling light enveloped Kiu-bwe-hu's body. The long whip in Kiu-bwe-hu's hand couldn't be thrown freely in that narrow space. There was a “crepp!” sound.
The tip of the whip was slashed by Tok Ku Bwee's machete. At the same time, from the tip of the whip that was cut by Tok Ku Bwee earlier, a puff of red smoke came out. Tok Ku Bwee was lunging at him. He automatically inhaled the red smoke. The girl was very surprised.
He quickly backed away and held his breath. However, he had time to inhale the red smoke.
His head was dizzy momentarily. His body slumped to the ground.
“Toasiocia's martial arts knowledge is undoubtedly quite high. But the experience of Kangouw's world is sadly still too shallow!” Kiu-bwe-hu kept his long whip back. He raised his head and laughed out loud.
"Low human!" Tok Ku Bwee pressed his machete on the ground and tried to get up. He cursed Kiu-bwe-hu randomly. The dizziness in his head was getting worse and worse.
Kiu-bwe-hu approached the girl slowly. Tok Ku Bwee glared at him. “Just kill me!” he shouted hatefully.
“Kill you? I'm not that stupid. Pangcu's establishment is uncertain. If he regrets, I even get the sap. I might die without a grave,” Kiu-bwe-hu laughed coldly. "I'd better take you home. There is Li Cu defending you. After all, you're Pangcu's daughter after all. Definitely not going to die."
Tok Ku Bwee's heart panicked. His brain immediately worked to find a way out. "You better let me go. If you take me back to Bu-ti-bun, I will report to Pangcu that you have been indecent to me. Until then I wonder how many lives you have!”
Hearing those words, Kiu-bwe-hu immediately became stunned.
Tokku Hong laughed coldly.
"Consider it carefully!"
Kiu-bwe-hu's eyeballs roamed around the place. “If I just let you go, then Pangcu found out, the consequences would be the same. Not sure my soul can be preserved. I think it's better if I go home and report that you disobeyed and I have the wrong hand to kill you."
"You dare to kill me?"
"It's just the two of us here. And the dead definitely can't speak!” Kiu-bwe-hu laughed sinisterly. Suddenly he reached out to touch Tok Ku Bwee's cheek at a glance.
"In other words, no matter how I treated you before you died, Bu-ti might not know."
Tok Ku Bwee's goosebumps instantly, Kiu-bwe-hu bent his body and laughed gleefully.
"Can make out with a lady as beautiful as you, I'm willing to die!" He reached out to unbutton Tokku Hong's clothes one by one. The girl didn't have the strength to fight back. Unknowingly her tears flowed down.
Kiu-bwe-hu is getting happier. He burst out laughing.
Right at that moment, the sound of wind could be heard.
A streak of cold light struck behind Kiu bwe-hu's back. The man screamed in horror. His body jumped but fell again in front of Tok Ku Bwee. Behind his back was stuck a Jit-goat-lun.
Tok Ku Bwee immediately recognized that the gun belonged to Li Cu, he immediately looked up.
Li Cu stood tall at the door. Then the man stepped inside. He turned Kiu-bwe-hu's corpse upside down. After that he searched the person's entire body. From Kiu-bwe-hu's pocket he took out a small jade bottle. He opened the bottle cap and sniffed it in front of his nose. His feet kicked Kiu-bwe-hu's corpse until it bounced against the wall in the yard. Then approached Tok Ku Bwee. He bent down in front of the girl and touched her cheek.
"What do you want?" snapped Tok Ku Bwee unconsciously. Li Cu just pinched her cheeks to open her mouth. After that he took a pill that he took from the small jade bottle and put it into Tok Ku Bwee's mouth.
A bundle of fresh air immediately felt in the throat. The feeling of Tok Ku Bwee is also much more comfortable. Only then did he realize that Li Cu had given him the red smoke antidote just now. He felt embarrassed for having guessed the wrong thing.
Li Cu threw the jade bottle in his hand onto the ground. He turned and walked away. But Tok Ku Bwee called him nervously, “Are you leaving already?”
“Sifu is really angry this time. Next time you have to be more careful!” Li Cu's tone was very heavy, but he did not turn his head.
"Now you've found me anyway. You can drag me home!”
"You think I have the heart to take you home and watch you die at the hands of Sifu!" Li Cu pushed open the door, his head still did not turn. His body shot up and then lunged out.
–––
With stunned Tok Ku Bwee looked at Li Cu's departure. He couldn't describe how he felt at that moment. After leaving the old house, Tok Ku Bwee continued on aimlessly.
His heart was getting depressed. She didn't doubt what Li Cu said, and she also began to realize how deep the man's love for her was.
