Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 153 - 14 Escape

Chapter 153: Chapter 14 Escape

Amidst the ruins of the Zhu family’s martial arts hall, Lin Yuan sat half on the snow, holding his right hand over the wound on his left shoulder.

Blood seeped through his fingers, making his face appear somewhat pale.

"Senior Brother."

Zhu Lingshan, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, rushed over, her expression mournful as she disregarded everything else to reach him. Seeing Lin Yuan injured, she ran to his side, crying like a weeping pear blossom.

"Junior Sister, it’s just a minor wound, nothing to worry about." Lin Yuan, seeing Zhu Lingshan’s sorrowful appearance, reached out to wipe away her tears.

Seeing Zhu Lingshan so upset, a trace of guilt flickered in his heart. The Sword Intent on his wound could be easily suppressed and eliminated with his profound inner power, and it wasn’t as severe as he made it appear.

The paleness on his face was a result of him forcibly controlling the blood flow in his body with his vital energy. If he wanted to regain his full strength, he could return to peak condition in no time.

However, under the current circumstances, he had to conceal himself. With the Pei family taking the lead, he didn’t need to fully expose himself.

He did this for the safety of the martial arts hall and, more importantly, for Zhu Lingshan and the others. He had to lose under Hong Wenli’s sword to make the Hong family think his strength was not as formidable and still within their control.

By doing this, when they tried to suppress his growth, they wouldn’t specifically target Zhu Lingshan. This also gave him confidence in controlling the situation in future crises.

Supported by Zhu Lingshan, Lin Yuan stood up again.

"Ultimately, I’m just not strong enough." His eyes swept over to the battle between Hong Wenli and the other young man, sighing inwardly.

Hong Wenli and Pei Shixin, two figures constantly crossed each other’s paths in the vast snow.

Clang, clang, clang!

The sound of clashing swords was crisp and decisive. Each contact of their sword tips unleashed invisible ripples of energy, pushing the surrounding snowflakes away and forming a brief empty area.

Lin Yuan’s eyes reflected their shadows, and the pallor on his face deepened slightly.

"Give me more time to accumulate strength, to advance to the mid-grade Condensed Element stage. Hmph!" Lin Yuan extended his arms, allowing Zhu Lingshan to bind the wound with cloth to prevent further blood loss.

"Pei Shixin’s strength is somewhat greater than Hong Wenli’s; perhaps it won’t be long before the two of them retreat." From Lin Yuan’s perspective, he could see that after thirty moves, Pei Shixin began to gradually overpower Hong Wenli.

But Hong Wenli’s swordsmanship was light and unpredictable. She left a series of nimble footprints on the snow, like a snow fox leaping through a forest. Even if Pei Shixin’s bodyguards joined in, they might not be able to capture her.

"Uncle Song, join me, let’s kill Hong Wenli; we must not let her escape today!" Pei Shixin’s gaze was sharp, his tone menacing.

He saw that Song Qixuan had already gravely injured Hong Huaiyun and called out repeatedly.

As he spoke, Pei Shixin’s sword attacks became increasingly fierce, his assault carried by the blizzard, continuously pressing towards Hong Wenli.

Hong Wenli’s forehead began to bead with sweat, her breathing grew rapid, and a flash of anxiety appeared in her eyes.

"Not good!"

Hong Wenli’s expression changed drastically, secretly thinking things were bad.

Seeing Song Qixuan land a palm on Hong Huaiyun’s chest, she knew if they didn’t leave now, it would be nearly impossible to escape once the two joined forces.

"Uncle Guan! Go!" Hong Wenli softly cried out, breaking away from Pei Shixin’s entanglement.

But as soon as Hong Wenli spoke, she no longer lingered, suddenly breaking away from Pei Shixin’s long sword. In a flash, she chose a direction and fled out of the martial arts hall.

"You won’t escape!" Pei Shixin was equally anxious.

He intended to kill Hong Wenli on the spot. He expected Hong Wenli to be alert but didn’t anticipate her decisiveness, her clear judgment of the battle, ready to escape in a few moves.

With two or three leaps, Hong Wenli had already reached the top of the wall.

Pei Shixin, incensed, hurled his long blade.

Swoosh.

The long blade carried intense Sword Intent. Like a cannonball, it shot towards Hong Wenli’s back with lightning speed.

However, Hong Wenli had anticipated such a lethal move. Her body moved like a dragonfly skimming the water, dodging the blade and landing on the precarious wall.

Boom.

The long blade pierced the wall fiercely. However, the wall couldn’t withstand the immense force of the blade, which penetrated through it. The blue bricks shattered, and the wall collapsed, leaving a hole a yard wide.

Standing atop the wall, Hong Wenli glanced again at the ’seriously injured’ Lin Yuan. She inwardly regretted, shook her head, and then disappeared in a flicker.

On the other side, Guan Long, engaged with Shen Wanpo, heard Hong Wenli’s reminder and naturally knew how to handle it.

With strength at the peak of the mid-stage Condensed Element realm, his senses were sharp, and everything around him was vividly depicted in his mind during the battle. He intended to withdraw without needing anyone to remind him.

Bang!

Guan Long punched out, his vital energy channeled, turning all the snowflakes within three feet into snow mist, dispersing Shen Wanpo’s attack forcefully.

Rumble!

Guan Long’s foot kicked out, scattering a large area of rubble, with dust mingling with the mist, instantly enveloping the space again.

As the smoke and mist spread, a sturdy figure shot out from the dust. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the top of the wall.

Without the slightest hesitation, Guan Long kicked up the accumulated snow and vanished from the top of the wall.

Others had already sensed something was amiss when they saw Pei Shixin’s appearance.

The clever ones had quietly retreated, pre-emptively withdrawing. When Hong Huaiyun was severely injured by Song Qixuan, those who had come to the Zhu family martial arts hall seeking answers were struck with fear and hurriedly fled outside.

Seeing Hong Wenli escape, Pei Shixin was furious and then noticed two or three Condensed Element figures fleeing among the crowd.

"Hmph! Where do you think you’re going?"

Pei Shixin’s gaze flashed coldly. With a swift movement, he burst forth, catching up to one of them in three breaths.

Bang!

A punch was delivered, immediately killing the person in mid-air.

After killing this person, Pei Shixin’s anger remained unabated as he chased another out of the martial arts hall, delivering another punch to kill a second person.

The last Condensed Element martial artist didn’t look back, fleeing into the distant streets, disappearing at the street’s end in a few moves.

Pei Shixin refrained from pursuing further, fearing going too far from Lin Yuan and that Hong Wenli might stage a comeback. He stopped, turned back, and returned to the martial arts hall.

By the time Pei Shixin re-entered the martial arts hall, Lin Yuan had already invited a few people into the quarters to sit.

"Pill Master Lin, how is your injury?"

Re-entering the room, Pei Shixin saw Lin Yuan’s pale face and, pretending to feel guilty, said, "I’ve heard of the incident at the Zhu family martial arts hall, and on the Family Head’s orders, I came to assist Pill Master Lin. I didn’t expect the Hong family to almost take advantage."

"We arrived late, please don’t blame us, Pill Master Lin!" Pei Shixin repeatedly apologized, wearing a concerned expression, and sought Lin Yuan’s forgiveness.

"Thanks to Young Master Pei and Master Song’s help today, otherwise Lin Yuan would have been doomed." Lin Yuan sighed with a bitter smile, "I can’t thank you enough; how could I dare blame you both?"

"With that, I feel more at ease."

Pei Shixin nodded in agreement, then took out a milky white porcelain bottle from his bosom.

"Pill Master Lin, this is a top-quality golden sore medicine, very effective for sword wounds like this." Pei Shixin opened the bottle, saying solemnly, "If Pill Master doesn’t mind, I am quite experienced with this medicine and will help treat your sword wound to remove the Sword Intent, allowing you to recover swiftly."

"In that case." A cold light flashed in Lin Yuan’s eyes, but his face remained impassive as he smiled, "I’ll trouble Young Master Pei!"
