Chapter 72 Battle with Qiu Ren
Guo Liqing turned around and saw a hidden weapon flying towards him. He immediately used a half-finished Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to dodge it.
While dodging, he also saw Qingxi Sanren and Sun Bu'er being attacked by hidden weapons.
However, the person who threw the projectiles was not very skilled and did not injure them.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out from behind and grabbed at Wanyan Heda.
Guo Liqing was startled and quickly went to stop him.
After exchanging a few blows with the man, Guo Liqing realized that he was a martial arts master with profound internal strength!
The opponent struck out with a palm, and Guo Liqing also struck out with a palm.
"Bang!"
The two palms met, both unleashing powerful bursts of energy.
Guo Liqing was stunned on the spot. There was actually a palm technique in the world that could rival the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!
"Guo Jing!"
Guo Liqing was taken aback.
At this moment, he also saw the face of the person opposite him clearly; it was a thin old man.
Guo Liqing remained silent because he had not inherited the memories and did not recognize the person.
The other man looked at Guo Liqing with eyes full of resentment, but he did not continue to fight Guo Liqing. Instead, he grabbed Wanyan Heda and retreated into the Jin army camp.
At this moment, Sun Bu'er, who was standing nearby, recognized the man: "Iron Palm Water-Drifting Qiu Qianren!"
Guo Liqing was slightly surprised. So it was Qiu Qianren! No wonder he had such palm power!
"Guo Jing, you little brat, I've been searching everywhere for you! Your appearance here is truly a stroke of luck!"
Upon seeing Qiu Qianren, Qingxi Sanren, standing nearby, shouted in a deep voice, "Qiu Qianren, your Iron Palm Clan has been renowned throughout western Hunan for decades, and you are hailed as a grandmaster in the martial arts world. How could you possibly betray us and join the Jurchens!"
"Qiu Qianren, you traitor to the Central Plains martial arts world! You actually betrayed us and betrayed us to the Jurchens!" Master Tan cursed, "You disgrace to the martial arts world, you don't even recognize your ancestors!"
Since Qiu Qianren dared to pledge allegiance to the Jurchens, he didn't care about such titles.
"Hahaha!" Qiu Qianren laughed loudly, saying, "First of all, I did not submit to the Jurchens. They provided the money, and I provided the labor; it was just a business deal! If we're talking about submission, Qiu Chuji of your Daoist sect submitted to the Mongols! You have the nerve to criticize others, but not yourself!"
"Nonsense! My senior brother only went to Mongolia to advise Genghis Khan, not to pledge allegiance to the Mongols!" Sun Bu'er quickly shouted.
Qiu Qianren pointed at the crowd opposite him and said, "I, Qiu Qianren, act with integrity and uprightness. If the Jurchens can afford the price, I'll help them out. What's wrong with that? You people call yourselves righteous and honorable, but what can you do besides stand on your moral high ground and spew nonsense?"
"you!"
Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with the Taoist priest opposite him, Qiu Qianren turned his gaze to Guo Liqing and angrily said, "Guo Jing, you little brat, you killed my brother! I've searched everywhere for you but couldn't find you. Today I will kill you to avenge my brother!"
With just one sentence from Qiu Qianren, everyone from the Quanzhen Sect and Lingxi Temple turned to look at Guo Liqing!
Guo Liqing smiled and said, "Qiu Qianren! You trapped me on Iron Palm Mountain back then, but you never expected that your brother Qiu Qianzhang was also on the mountain. I escaped in the end, but your brother fell off a cliff and died. What does that have to do with me?"
"If it weren't for you! My brother wouldn't have fallen off the cliff!"
"He fell to his death, how can you blame me?" Guo Liqing chuckled, not wanting to say more. He stepped forward and said, "Fine, fine! Now that you, Qiu Qianren, have surrendered to the Jurchens, you are a great enemy of the Central Plains martial arts world, and every member of the Central Plains martial arts world has the right to kill you! A battle between us is inevitable! Since you want to pin your brother's death on me, then I will give you a chance for revenge. Come on!"
The Taoist disciples behind him, upon hearing Guo Liqing's impassioned speech, all felt that even a young hero was nothing special!
Upon hearing this, Qiu Qianren laughed: "Guo Jing, don't think I don't know. You've long since surrendered to the Mongols; you're their Golden Sword Prince Consort! And you're talking to me about being a member of the Central Plains martial arts world! Are you even a person from the Central Plains?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Liqing laughed and said, "What are you talking about? My ancestral home is in Shandong, I'm from Niujia Village in Lin'an. The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan are my masters, Hong Qigong of the Beggar Clan is my master, and even the two Taoist masters Ma Yu and Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen Sect taught me. Are you saying I'm not from the Central Plains?"
At this moment, Yin Zhiping stepped forward and said, "Junior Brother Guo's father was killed by the Jurchens, and he and his mother were stranded in Mongolia, where they did indeed grow up! But that doesn't mean Junior Brother Guo defected to the Mongols! Think of the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, and the Beggar Clan's Chief Hong—who are they? How could an old thief like you slander their disciples!"
"That's right! Senior Brother Yin is absolutely right!"
"How could you, a traitorous old thief, slander Brother Guo's character?"
Qiu Qianren's eyes widened upon hearing this.
Guo Liqing glanced back at Yin Zhiping, giving him an approving look. Then, he stared at Qiu Qianren and said, "The rules of the martial world dictate that it's one-on-one combat!"
"good!"
Guo Liqing surveyed his surroundings and called out loudly, "You little devils who were sniping from the shadows, come out! Don't even think about launching a sneak attack!"
Qiu Qianren, confident in his martial arts skills and not wanting to give others cause for criticism, said, "Liang Ziweng, come out!"
Suddenly, a short, sallow-faced old man with a goatee and a sinister appearance jumped out!
Sun Bu'er remarked from the side, "So it's the Ginseng Immortal Old Monster, Liang Ziweng!"
"Liang Ziweng?" Guo Liqing smiled. So it was him!
"Qiu Qianren, you take your revenge, I'll take mine. Why did you expose my identity!"
"Hmph!" Qiu Qianren simply ignored him.
Guo Liqing looked at Liang Ziweng and smiled, "Old man, long time no see! How have you been?"
Liang Ziweng glared angrily at Guo Jing and said, "Guo Jing, you brat, I will definitely capture you and drink your blood! To avenge the loss of my precious snake!"
"It's been so long, and you still haven't gotten over it!"
Liang Ziweng angrily retorted, "If it weren't for my precious serpent, how could you have achieved your current level of cultivation!"
"You're overthinking it! With your talent, even after drinking the precious snake's blood, you'd only be at Ouyang Ke's level!"
"you!"
"Alright, that's enough. If you want revenge, get in line! I'll take down Qiu Qianren first, then you can come up!" Guo Liqing smiled and added, "Of course, if you want to join forces with Qiu Qianren, I'm not afraid either!"
Guo Liqing's words, "I am not afraid either," shocked everyone behind him.
Such bold words have been unheard of for a long time.
Qiu Qianren glared angrily at Liang Ziweng and said, "If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll chop you in half with one palm! Guo Jing, you brat, come here!"
"good!"
Guo Liqing leaped forward immediately.
Guo Liqing first struck out with a palm, but Qiu Qianren did not meet it, and directly used his lightness skill to dodge it.
Little did he know that this palm strike was not the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, but just an ordinary palm strike.
Qiu Qianren's lightness skill was indeed remarkable. When he used it, he was like a ghost. No one knew where he got this skill from.
Relying on his lightness skill, Qiu Qianren unleashed an Iron Sand Palm strike!
Guo Liqing didn't try to fight back, but instead used the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to dodge!
Qingxi Sanren and Sun Bu'er, who were watching from the sidelines, looked surprised.
Qingxi Sanren looked at Sun Bu'er and asked, "Daoist Sun, why is this young hero Guo's lightness skill so peculiar?"
"I don't know either!"
