Chapter 742 - Chapter 742 Chapter 742 Maoshans Astonishing Change

Chapter 742: Chapter 742 Maoshan’s Astonishing Change Chapter 742: Chapter 742 Maoshan’s Astonishing Change Li Chonggu had tried various methods and found them all ineffective before he directly visited Maoshan.

In fact, Uncle Kou had also taken action, but he wasn’t a Martial Cultivator, and was inherently unsuited for this, so it was normal for him to handle it poorly.

After Tang Wenji received a reply, she didn’t explain that it was Feng Jun’s doing but said that those two deserved to suffer–for actually bothering the trouble of the Daoist Sects for no reason, wasn’t that asking for death?

Daoist Leader Ju then asked a very crucial question: What were you doing at Xiqing Mountain at the beginning of the year? Were you not seeking Kunlun’s pest?

It might have been an unintentional question from him, but Tang Wenji definitely couldn’t answer it, so without saying another word: Let’s fight.

Although Daoist Leader Ju was male, he was ultimately just an early-stage martial master, and Kunlun’s inheritance was formidable, but he had not yet entered the Inner Sect.

Tang Wenji was born in Maoshan, which was not known for its Martial Cultivation, but her father was the Maoshan master Tang Wangsun. Knowing her exceptional talent, he got her many secret manuals on Martial Cultivation, so her kung fu was quite formidable.

The two fought for about twenty minutes, and in the end, the Little Celestial Master was victorious, though she was gasping for breath due to exhaustion.

With such combat strength, she really didn’t register in Li Chonggu’s eyes–against the likes of Junior Brother Ju, he could take on three without issues.

Thus, Daoist Li stated, “I’ll give you half a day to rest, otherwise the victory would not be honorable.”

Half a day later, they fought again, and within a mere two minutes, Tang Wenji was beaten to the point of being unable to parry.

At the critical moment, she activated a “Six Ding Six Jia Talisman.”

This talisman wasn’t from Feng Jun but a relic passed down from within the Ancestral Tablet by the revitalizing patriarch of Maoshan.

This talisman was different from the traditional “Six Ding Six Jia”; it wasn’t about conjuring soldiers from beans but was closer to the Five Ghosts Transport Technique.

The revitalizing patriarch was merely a fleeting figure in the Dharma-Ending Age, without immense divine skills, but the fact that a martial master could activate this talisman indicated its rarity in terms of ingenuity.

For Tang Wenji–and even for the whole of Maoshan–this talisman was incredibly precious, a relic left by the revitalizing patriarch to be used sparingly, and she hadn’t expected to be forced to use it by Kunlun.

Initially dominating the fight, Li Chonggu suddenly found himself entangled by the appearance of Six Ding Six Jia, which threw him into panic.

All six apparitions were mere illusions, which he immediately knew to be the work of talismans, but even a brave man can’t stand against the many, and against these non-human entities, dodging maneuvers were of little use–could you outpace these supernatural beings with your shifting form?

Fortunately, this technique wasn’t very powerful. The six apparitions were large, but their attack power was lacking; they could only tie down Li Chonggu, with little chance of injuring him.

According to Li Chonggu himself, he too had talismans on him, but in the Dharma-Ending Age, the Kunlun Lineage didn’t have the luxury to spare, and these protective talismans were just as precious to him, so he was reluctant to use them.

So, he chose to endure, although looking very ragged as he did so, laughing loudly, “The grand reputation of Jintan Huayang is nothing more than this.”

Tang Wenji was already upset about using the Six Ding Six Jia Talisman, and upon hearing his words, she couldn’t help but become furious. She abandoned her Nine Section Whip and pulled out a long spear, thrusting it forward, “Dare to slander Maoshan… you’re courting death!”

Li Chonggu wielded a staff as tall as his eyebrows and wore a Fine Iron Arm Guard. If it came to a fight, it really didn’t matter to him whether the Little Celestial Master used a Nine Section Whip or a spear.

But just as he got used to the Little Celestial Master’s fighting style, the sudden appearance of the spear truly caught him off guard.

What was worse, he was tightly entangled by six illusions at the time.

If Tang Wenji wanted to attack, the Nine Section Whip would have been inappropriate. Although the whip method included some thrusting techniques, the Nine Section Whip was more flexible and suited for sweeping, lifting, throwing, and blocking.

With the spear, it was different; she could precisely thrust through the gaps in the Six Ding Six Jia’s forms.

So, inadvertently, the spearhead aimed straight for his left chest.

Li Chonggu lifted his left arm, trying to fend off the spear with the Fine Iron Arm Guard, but to his surprise, the spear’s thrust packed an unexpected force, splattering his arm with blood. He gasped, “Are you playing for keeps?”

The opponent was just a woman, who shouldn’t have had such strength, especially after battling fiercely just half a day before. How could she unleash such power?

Seeing him deflect her spearhead, Tang Wenji twisted her body, forcibly converting the momentum to increase the power of her thrust, as the spearhead half-thrust and half-swept towards his chest and abdomen.

Li Chonggu really wanted to block this thrust and shouted, dispelling two illusions as his short staff met the attack.

It was only because he fought too fiercely that he realized his arm was injured. Surprised, he blurted out, “What kind of spear is that?”

The next moment, although he blocked the thrust, two apparitions had already rushed towards him, opening their arms to tackle him.

Meanwhile, the Little Celestial Master retracted her spear slightly and flicked out three spear blossoms aimed straight at him.

With the help of the Six Ding Six Jia, she was confident she could defeat her opponent. If she didn’t even have that much confidence, why would she dare to waste the ancestral Six Ding Six Jia Talisman?

Li Chonggu’s expression changed again; this battle was proving to be difficult indeed. He had not expected the combination of the Six Ding Six Jia Talisman and the spear to be so troublesome.

The most lethal aspect was that the spearhead on the opponent’s lance was far sharper than he had imagined. He even had great confidence before the duel, believing that she could not breach his defense; now, his Fine Iron Arm Guard couldn’t even block one strike from her.

Of course, he did not know that Feng Jun had given Little Celestial Master some weapons mixed with mysterious iron.

At this moment, Li Chonggu truly dared not be negligent any longer. He roared, “Open!”

As he shouted, an abnormal red glow flashed on his face, and his figure instantly expanded considerably. Then he violently twisted to the side, dodging the spearhead, and grabbed the lance with one hand, while a surge of Inner Qi rushed into the shaft at an incredibly rapid pace.

As for the Six Ding Six Jia Talisman, he could no longer care about it. At worst, he would take a couple of hits, but it wouldn’t kill anyone.

Only by seizing the lance and taking away the opponent’s sharpest weapon did he have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Of course, if the Inner Qi transferred along the lance could cause internal injury to the opponent, that would be even better.

His calculations were quite good, especially with the body-enlarging technique named “Celestial Wolf Metal Body,” which was his ace in the hole. He had cultivated it to the second layer, which could turn his skin into refined steel, fearless of external blows and sharp weapons.

However, he could not be sure whether it could withstand the opponent’s peculiar spearhead, so he focused all his energy on dealing with the lance, allowing the Six Ding Six Jia Talisman to attack him.

Unfortunately, he had made all his calculations, but when he reached out to grab and forcefully pull the lance, he grasped at thin air–the opponent had simply let go.

This made him feel extremely uncomfortable, even causing a stifling sensation in his chest–he had just deeply felt the Little Celestial Master’s strength, as he had put all his effort into that move.

Tang Wenji, exploiting the weak against the strong, was well-prepared psychologically and instantly let go of the weapon when she saw the opponent trying to forcefully snatch it.

Because of this, she even avoided the vast Inner Qi that was being transmitted.

Although she had lost her lance, Tang Wenji’s figure surged forward, her hand sweeping across her waist and suddenly producing a shiny Long Blade, which she chopped down fiercely, “Watch the blade!”

Li Chonggu truly did not expect her to switch weapons again, and at this moment, with one hand holding a lance and the other a short stick level with his eyebrow, and being surrounded by phantoms, he was deeply mired in trouble.

Nevertheless, as a Kunlun Inner Sect Disciple, his combat experience might not be abundant, but he knew what choices to make at critical moments.

He forcibly suppressed the roiling blood in his chest and decisively let go of the lance. The lance was good, but he was holding the tip, which was of no advantage in a hurried situation–the excessively long shaft was unsuitable for close combat.

After all, Tang Wenji had already discarded the lance, and the strange spearhead posed no immediate threat to him.

His right hand held the short stick, only five feet long, which was very convenient to wield.

However, regrettably, he had miscalculated one thing–the speed of the Six Ding Six Jia Talisman’s assault was even faster than he thought.

The phantoms’ combat strength was not high, but six of them entangled him, binding his body tightly–they might not be able to break through the defense of the Celestial Wolf Metal Body, but binding a person was not difficult.

Li Chonggu felt as if he were trapped in mud, with all the strength in his body rendered useless, so much so that even twisting his body became difficult.

But he clenched his teeth and roared again, “Open!”

Out of his mouth, a faint red mist sprayed out, his visage ferocious as his strength once again increased by a good amount.

However, he sighed inwardly: This loss is big, for this mouthful of essence blood will need at least half a year to recover.

Still, even so, his body remained heavy and his movements slow.

At that moment, Little Celestial Master’s Long Blade had already sliced through the air, aiming for the top of his head.

Li Chonggu strained with all his might again, the short stick held diagonally as he jerked his wrist to deflect the blade’s force and swing it away.

The blade was indeed deflected somewhat, but without a second word, the Little Celestial Master swung back with another strike, directly shortening his short stick by over a foot.

“Holy shit… What kind of blade is that?” Li Chonggu took in a sharp breath. His short stick was no ordinary stick; it was sheathed in manganese steel alloy, with an iron core. How could it be chopped off with a single blade?

He had thought the spearhead was terrifying enough, but who could imagine the blade would be just as fearsome?

Then the blade came upon him once more, directing at his crown, and he was now completely immobilized.

Is this the feeling of death? A deep despair filled Li Chonggu’s heart…

“That’s too much,” a cold voice spoke up, and then Li Chonggu felt his body involuntarily retreat rapidly, narrowly dodging that blade strike.

At the same time, a blue rope descended from the sky, binding Little Celestial Master into a bundle.

The one who acted was none other than Kou Laozhong, a Foundation Building Great Cultivator of the Kunlun Sect.

With his hands behind his back and a glance around, he spoke with no hint of disturbance, “In a martial artist’s duel, fists should do the talking. Using talismans was already over the top, but to repeatedly use the Storage Bag… do you really think Kunlun has no one to respond?”
