Chapter 486: Chapter 450: Making a Move

Strictly speaking, throwing hidden weapons cannot be considered a complete form of Martial Arts but rather a technique for exerting force. Therefore, there are no Master Level hidden weapons or Grandmaster Level hidden weapons in the system. Instead, some martial arts techniques include methods for using hidden weapons, like the Shaolin Plum Blossom Darts and the Shaolin Flying Knife, found in Shaolin Fist techniques.

After exchanging for so many Martial Arts techniques, Wu naturally knew how to use hidden weapons, having even practiced them specially. Otherwise, when he had thrown daggers and dinner knives in the past, his technique wouldn’t have been so fierce or accurate.

But compared to Fist techniques, Wu couldn’t really say he excelled in hidden weapons, it was just that relying on sufficient Explosive Power and fairly good accuracy, he had managed to avoid making mistakes with them in the past.

Later, when the exchange rights for Grandmaster Level Ultimate Moves were opened, Wu discovered several techniques--or rather, Techniques--for using hidden weapons. Clearly, these were Ultimate Moves created by Grandmasters who excelled in hidden weapons.

Glancing at the prices, most of the hidden weapons Ultimate Moves were not expensive. Just one or two Master Stars were enough for an exchange. Wu happened to have one Master Star left, so he exchanged it for a technique called Furious Wind, which used darts.

Compared to firearms driven by gunpowder, hidden weapons are driven by human force. The Furious Wind move Wu exchanged could not simply be about throwing darts. The use of Muscle Strength, Muscle Bone Power, and even the manipulation of Qi and blood all had their specifics. It was an explosive technique similar to the Sumeru Seal, and practicing it regularly could not only enhance control over Qi and blood, but also strengthen wrist strength. It was a Training Method that merged with Technique.

This time going into battle, Wu carried twenty darts with him. Previously, they were hung in two rows on a Bullet-Proof Vest; now, they were tied around his waist in a specialized pouch.

The reason he hadn’t used hidden weapons when he was beaten into a sorry state before was that it wouldn’t have made much difference.

After all, hidden weapons are meant for close-range surprise attacks. Their optimal effective range is within ten meters. Just now, those combatants’ positions were too scattered; it was one-on-one, and once he was within ten meters, Wu could handle his opponent without hidden weapons, so there was no need to use them.

But now, facing a three-on-one situation and the combined firepower of the trio, Wu broke through with a single dart.

Seizing the moment of opportunity, Wu exerted force from his limbs and vaulted up from the ground, lunging out.

Shh!

A dart shot out, taking down another person, and Wu himself was not much slower than the dart. He charged at the last person, struck the head with a palm, and punched the throat, then marched on, victorious.

Another defense line broken!

Even without seeing Wu directly, Long Yu could vividly feel that momentum getting closer and closer to him.

Long Yu stood still and silently took off his Bullet-Proof Vest.

He could have retreated, increasing the distance between himself and Wu again, letting the ’Le Yuan’ people continue to wear Wu down, but he chose not to.

In terms of both strength and psychology, Long Yu had the upper hand against Wu. The reason he chose to let ’Le Yuan’ wear Wu down first was to eliminate Wu at the lowest cost. To Long Yu, that could already be considered a tactical retreat. So now, facing Wu’s unstoppable charge, Long Yu refused to retreat any further.

As a fellow Grandmaster, he was unwilling to back down.

Considering Wu’s Fist Intent and his strongest Technique, he couldn’t afford to back down!

Victor glanced at Long Yu but did not command the remaining three groups’ members to block Wu. He even ordered the others to stop for the time being and also distanced himself from Long Yu.

To this, Long Yu was not surprised at all.

Although the two sides were in a partnership, they were both on guard against each other, always cautious of being swallowed up by the other. So after wearing Wu down, Victor started to conserve his strength, ready to sit back and watch the tiger fight the dragon.

Long Yu wasn’t worried; he was waiting for Suzuki to bring people over. By then, even if Wu wanted to run, it would be difficult.

At the same time, Lv Jin received a message and suddenly said to Qin Zhengming, "It’s about time."

Qin Zhengming was taken aback, "What?"

Lv Jin looked at him, "I need you to do one last thing."

Qin Zhengming felt a sense of ominous foreboding. "What else are you planning to do? Long Yu has been lured over, and we can’t help."

"You order the brothers to take action," Lv Jin said.

Qin Zhengming was shocked and exclaimed angrily, "Are you crazy? Do you think everyone is like you, daring to make a move against the Dragon King?"

Long Yu’s prestige within the Longhua Association had reached a peak that no one dared to challenge, at least for the short term, after the previous power struggle. Even today, with his own trusted followers by his side, Qin Zhengming was sure that if he said a single word about betraying the Longhua Association or making a move against Long Yu, at least half of them would not follow him.

Lv Jin shook his head. "Not against Long Yu, but against those from the White Reaper coming to support."

He had previously arranged Qin Zhengming’s subordinates to set up an ambush at a specific location, which, of course, was not chosen at random. Lv Jin had scouted the terrain in advance; if anyone were to rush over from the front for support, they would inevitably pass through the ambush point in their hurry.

"Quick! They’re almost here. You tell the brothers to open fire and say it’s the Dragon King’s order—the people from the White Reaper have issues," Lv Jin pointed a gun at Qin Zhengming and said, "Don’t hesitate. You’ve no choice now."

Qin Zhengming: "..."

He indeed had no choice. That had been the case since the moment he betrayed Long Yu.

Taking out his communicator, Qin Zhengming said to several of his lieutenants, "Little Eagle, Hua Zi, Four Eyes, a squad of the White Reaper will pass by your location shortly. Open fire as soon as you see them; they’re compromised. This is from the Dragon King himself!"

"Ah, Brother Ming?"

"How could that be? Aren’t they brought by the Dragon King?"

"Right, Brother Ming, could there be a mistake?"

Qin Zhengming said angrily, "Is my word no good anymore? Would I lie about such a thing? It’s the Dragon King’s personal command to me. You just need to fire, with one condition, not a single one of them must get through!"

As the leading big brother, in the absence of orders from Long Yu, his words still carried weight with his subordinates. Furthermore, members of the Longhua Association and the White Reaper were separate systems, not familiar with each other. With no way to contact Long Yu for verification, Little Eagle and the others had no choice but to obey big brother Qin Zhengming’s orders.

About thirty seconds later, Suzuki, the mid-team leader of the White Reaper, along with more than fifty men, was ambushed as they were about to arrive in the area designated by Long Yu.

Qin Zhengming had brought over forty elite men with him this time. Although they were not as good as the White Reaper in terms of quality, a prepared attack is better than an unprepared defense, catching the other party off guard.

"Commander, we’re under sniper fire," Suzuki informed Long Yu immediately.

Long Yu frowned; he couldn’t understand why Suzuki and the others would be sniped near here when Zhiqing Hall’s forces were still firmly suppressed.

"It seems I’ve still underestimated you, Lin Yun."

Long Yu looked ahead. There, Wu Li was getting closer and closer.

Before this operation, Lin Yun had asked Wu Li whether he was confident he could kill Long Yu. Wu Li had said that as long as Lin Yun could create a one-on-one opportunity for him against Long Yu, he was confident.

Now, all of Lin Yun’s pieces had fallen into place, and Wu Li was about to face Long Yu one-on-one!

PS: The event I mentioned earlier has ended. The Martial Arts live stream room came in third, and I’d like to give special thanks to Baili Tongyun and Wind Spirit. They spent a lot of time creating dialogue and getting people to like the posts, which made it possible for our book to achieve third place.

We now have a fan title, which follows the author, so I named my fan title ’Flying Side by Side with My Pen.’

My pen name is ’The Pen that Can’t Fly,’ and I see the legitimate readers as my ’wings.’ I hope to reach higher places together with everyone.
