The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 334 Who Compensates Whom

Duan Yu was the only male descendant of the new generation of the Dali Duan family. The Dali royal family valued him highly, and his martial arts skills were naturally not to be taken lightly. That night, the handwritten copy of "The Magic Skill of Purple Qi Coming from the East" (Zixia Magic Skill) was placed on the desk of Emperor Baoding.

As the emperor of Dali, Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming had high martial arts skills, ranking among the top ten in the entire Dali Kingdom. His knowledge of martial arts was also extraordinary. However, he had never heard of this "Purple Air Coming from the East Divine Art". Just looking at its content, it was quite rigorous and advanced, even above the Six Yang Melting Snow Art, not inferior to it. Moreover, when he read it carefully, he found that the purple air of the rising sun cultivated by this art actually had a promoting effect on the One Yang Finger.

"This is an internal martial arts technique that is more suitable for building the foundation of One Yang Finger than the Six Yang Melting Snow Technique." Emperor Baoding suddenly lost his composure and hurriedly took the technique and headed straight for Tianlong Temple.

The five elders of Tianlong Temple read the booklet carefully, then fell into deep thought. Abbot Benyin sighed and said, "He will never suffer a loss, nor will he take advantage of others. Just a prescription is not enough, and now he has even thrown out this internal energy method that is even more compatible with the One Finger Zen. This boy is truly formidable."

Compared to the other four elder monks, Zen Master Kurong had broader knowledge and a higher realm. He was silent for a moment before saying, "This method is compatible with the One Yang Finger. However, it is not in conflict with the Six Yang Melting Snow Technique, but rather complements each other. In other words, the Six Yang Melting Snow Technique is more suitable for foundation building. This technique enhances the power of the One Yang Finger, purifying the strong yang internal energy while still maintaining its health-promoting effects."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Suddenly, something occurred to them. Emperor Baoding stood up suddenly and looked at Zen Master Kurong and said, "Old Ancestor, are you implying that this technique was created by Master Murong based on the Six Yang Melting Snow Technique? How is that possible?!"

You have to know that they have studied this technique carefully and found it to be very perfect without any loopholes, especially its purpose of absorbing the purple energy of the morning sun and turning it into one's own internal strength. The starting point is extremely high, and it is in line with the meaning of the beginning of one yang, which is more in line with the One Yang Finger. Instead, the Six Yang Melting Snow Technique has become a bit useless.

"If that's true, Young Master Murong's martial arts realm is truly terrifyingly high. If given enough time, he might be able to deduce a brand new One Yang Finger. After all..." Abbot Benyin suddenly thought of something and looked up at Zen Master Kurong. The latter had a slightly strange expression on his face and nodded gently. "Even though it's only been half an incense stick of time, I suspect he's already grasped the essence of the Six Meridians Divine Sword. With time, he might be able to cultivate it successfully."

The four Benyin monks were also a little restless, and Emperor Baoding was speechless. It was really embarrassing to tell others about the unique skills of the Duan family that no one had mastered yet. But the person was really powerful. Besides, strictly speaking, a son-in-law was half a son, so he was also half a member of the Duan family.

What to do? Recover it?

Don't talk about whether they can do it or not. If that were the case, it would be a bit inhumane. After all, this farce was directed by Zen Master Kurong on a whim. He never thought that Murong Fu could actually learn this unique skill in such a short time in front of everyone.

"The 'Lingbo Weibu' accumulates internal strength from the outside in, which is itself quite exquisite. Judging from its methods, I'm afraid it has a great origin. The 'Yangwu Sword Technique' emphasizes defense and can be used to cultivate the mind. It is quite compatible with the 'Purple Qi Coming from the East' Divine Art'. Overall, it is only half inferior to my Duan family's swordsmanship, and in terms of defense alone, it is even better." Emperor Baoding talked about these three techniques. Although it was only Duan Yu's oral narration and Zhu Danchen's description, one can still get a glimpse of it.

"Amitabha, isn't this return gift a bit too generous?" Abbot Ben Yin said with a hint of guilt, "These three unique skills alone are enough to support a martial arts family for a hundred years. The Six Yang Melting Snow Art seems a bit underwhelming. Could it be that he is repaying us for showing us the Six Meridians Divine Sword?"

The Six Meridians Divine Sword is the treasure of Tianlong Temple. Its preciousness is self-evident. However, no one has successfully practiced this magical skill since the ancestor Duan Sichun, and its effect is not as greater as that of the One Finger Zen Zen. As for the three unique skills that Murong Fu taught to Duan Yu, the "Yangwu Sword Technique" is second to it. The other two are truly extraordinary and are no less helpful to them than the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

"According to Master Murong, this 'Purple Air Coming from the East Divine Art' is limited to two people in each generation. I wonder..." Emperor Baoding further misinterpreted Murong Fu's meaning. The corner of Abbot Benyin's mouth twitched slightly. He had heard what Emperor Baoding had said before. People said that it was only for two people in each generation of the Prince of Zhennan. But when it came to you, it became two people in each generation.

If one were to go back further, Emperor Baoding and Prince Zhennan also met the requirements. Going back further, there were the four elder monks of his own generation, two of whom could be selected to cultivate divine skills, and then there was Zen Master Kurong. However, he didn't need to do that. While his Kurong Zen skills were a bit strange, they were of a high level. However, they were extremely difficult to cultivate. He was the only one in the entire Tianlong Temple who had successfully cultivated them, and even now, he hadn't achieved full mastery.

"How about giving him some more compensation?" Emperor Baoding also felt that he had taken too great an advantage. Abbot Benyin carefully uttered a few words: "One Finger Zen?"

Everyone looked at him strangely. If they had really given Yi Yang to him, would the Duan family have any more secrets for Murong Fu? They really didn't know that Murong Fu had already mastered this magical skill.

"Just give him a copy of the Kurong Zen Art that I practiced." Zen Master Kurong knew that Murong Fu would definitely not practice this magical art that half-disfigured him, but he still made this choice. The four old monks of the same generation said it was great kindness. The corner of Emperor Baoding's mouth twitched, and in the end he could only obey and took the handwritten copy and floated away.

"Remember to let him burn it after reading it. The magical skills of the Dali Duan family must not be easily passed on to others." Zen Master Kurong's act of covering up the truth made Emperor Baoding completely speechless. He seriously doubted whether Murong Fu would read it after seeing it. If he practiced it on a whim, the world of martial arts would lose a handsome and elegant young man and gain a half-handsome and half-withered monster.

I can’t think about it, I can’t think about it. If I continue thinking about it, I feel like I can’t accept it.

Early the next morning, Duan Yu was personally carried by Emperor Baoding to the old man transformed by Murong Fu. He watched them breathing in the purple air under the rising sun. Duan Yu was worthy of being the protagonist destined by heaven. His talent was really extraordinary. With the help of Murong Fu, he succeeded in one go and successfully cultivated a breath of purple air from the rising sun.

Murong Fu didn't let Emperor Baoding watch the subsequent "Lingbo Weibu" performance, but he gave him a full set of "Yangwu Sword Technique". "I am an old man, most proficient in swordsmanship. This "Yangwu Sword Technique" focuses on defense and cultivating the mind. It is first-rate but not the best. Duan Yu, I have thought about your previous request and found a sword technique that can barely meet your requirements. Would you like to learn it?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu hurriedly asked what sword technique it was. The old man said word by word, "Shenmen Sword Technique!"

"The Shenmen sword technique is also known as the Shenmen Thirteen Swords. It has a total of thirteen moves. Each move is different, but they all target the Shenmen acupoint on the enemy's wrist. The Shenmen acupoint is at the end of the Rui bone behind the palm. After the enemy is hit by the sword, the palm can no longer exert any strength. It can barely meet your requirement." The old man said it easily and casually. Duan Yu was quite moved, but Emperor Baoding's mouth twitched.

"Ancestor Kuruo Rong, I just used the Kuruo Zen Art to resolve the causal relationship between those three unique skills, and this kid refuses to take advantage. He's now revealed an even more terrifying Zhige-type offensive sword technique. What else can our Dali Duan clan offer? Are we really going to give him the One Yang Finger?"

Sure enough, I was really overthinking it when it came to comparing martial arts skills with the Gusu Murong family.

But even if your Gusu Murong family really has a lot of martial arts, there are only a few first-class, super first-class, or even top-notch martial arts. Is it really okay for you to reveal them one by one like this?

I don't know why, but I always have the urge to send troops to Taihu Lake, rob your house and return the Shishui Pavilion.
