Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

Chapter 121 Heart-Destroying Palm

The moon is dark and the wind kills the night.

The night at Fuwei Escort Agency was clearly not going to be peaceful.

But at this moment, it was unusually quiet outside the escort agency, without even the chirping of insects or birds.

Because a murderous aura permeated the air.

In a corner where no one was watching, Gu Qianbei was hiding in the darkness.

He leaned against the wall, took out the Cangguang Gourd, took a sip of Wangmingyue, and used the Nine Heavens Wine Transformation Technique to refine it into internal energy, which he then integrated into his body.

In the murderous night, he appeared relaxed, seemingly unconcerned about the danger lurking beneath the surface.

"what!"

Suddenly, screams rang out from the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Gu Qianbei's gaze sharpened, and he whispered, "Has it started yet? You're really in a hurry, Yu Canghai."

At the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Lin Zhennan and others are examining a corpse.

This corpse was the source of the screams just now.

"There were no wounds or bruises on his body, but his heart was shattered. This...this...could it be a ghost killing him?"

Lin Pingzhi exclaimed in shock.

"No, it's not a ghost. It's the Heart-Shattering Palm technique from the Qingcheng Sect."

This palm technique is extremely vicious. Your ancestor Yuantu witnessed it when he competed with Changqingzi of the Qingcheng Sect.

But Yuan Tu Gong's movements were even faster, and Chang Qing Zi's Heart-Shattering Palm couldn't hit him at all.

Lin Zhennan said with a solemn expression.

"Father, you mean Yu Canghai has made a move!"

"Indeed. In the world today, only Yu Canghai knows this palm technique and possesses such skill."

It seems Young Master Gu was right; the Qingcheng Sect has its eyes on our Fuwei Escort Agency.

"What should we do? Can we stop them?"

Lin Pingzhi said with concern.

"I don't know. But judging from the power of that palm strike alone, I'm definitely no match for Yu Canghai. Right now, I can only try to talk to him."

"Father, what do you want to do?"

Lin Zhennan took a deep breath, gathered his inner strength, and said loudly, "Sect Leader Yu! Now that you're here, why hide your face!"

As the head of a prestigious and righteous sect, your act of using such tricks to deal with my Fuwei Escort Agency is probably against the rules of the martial arts world.

Why don't we show ourselves and have a chat? Perhaps we can turn hostility into friendship?

Since the Fuwei Escort Agency had run out of skilled escorts, the Lin family had been relying on their wealth and connections to run the agency. Therefore, Lin Zhennan thought that he might be able to avoid disaster by spending money and decided to talk to Yu Canghai.

This was his last resort.

Before long, Yu Canghai's cold voice rang out.

"My son Yu Renyan and his apprentice Jia Renda died in your Fucheng territory, and your son Lin Pingzhi even witnessed his murder. How do you suggest we resolve this?"

"Sect Leader Yu, your son ambushed someone else's disciple and was killed. How can you blame it on my son?"

"To stand by and watch someone die is also a crime!"

"Sect Leader Yu, that's just sophistry."

Lin Zhennan clenched his fists, his face full of anger.

"Hmph! My son is dead, why should I reason with you! I'll give you two choices: either hand over your son Lin Pingzhi so I can kill him to vent my anger, or hand over the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual as compensation."

In that case, I can spare the lives of more than a hundred people from the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Otherwise, I would have wiped out the Fuwei Escort Agency today!

As Yu Canghai spoke, his voice grew increasingly cold.

Lin Zhennan felt utterly powerless.

Just as Gu Qianbei said, it was all an excuse. Yu Canghai wanted the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual from beginning to end!

"Yu Canghai! You despicable man! You've caused all this trouble simply because you coveted the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual of my Lin family! You are unworthy to be the leader of the Qingcheng Sect!"

Lin Pingzhi, young and impetuous, could not tolerate such shameless behavior and immediately cursed.

"Fine! Fine! When did a brat like you dare to insult this sect leader? Do you really think my Qingcheng Sect is easy to bully?!"

Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless!

"Kill them!"

At Yu Canghai's command, the Qingcheng Sect disciples, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, surged out and attacked Fuwei Escort Agency.

In the alley, Gu Qianbei finally stood up straight.

"It's starting. Hopefully, tonight will be a good night."

Gu Qianbei got involved in this matter not only because he felt sorry for Lin Pingzhi, but also because he wanted to try and acquire the spirit of martial arts.

Having changed the outcome of the Reign of Assassins incident, he gained the spirit of a martial arts hero.

Perhaps the Fuwei Escort Agency could do that now.

So he wanted to give it a try.

It's a success! A huge profit!

Even if it didn't work out, it still helped Lin Pingzhi, making his mind clear.

No matter how you look at it, you're not losing out.

As for why he helped Lin Pingzhi, the reason is quite simple.

Gu Qianbei didn't want to see a passionate and chivalrous young man driven mad by hatred in the end.

In the story of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Lin Pingzhi should have been the protagonist.

At least in Gu Qianbei's opinion, this is how the story should unfold.

After Lin Pingzhi's family was wiped out, he was taken back to Mount Hua by Yue Buqun to learn martial arts. By chance, he obtained the Dugu Nine Swords, the true teaching of Feng Qingyang, which greatly increased his strength.

To outsiders, the Dugu Nine Swords is the Lin family's ancestral Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.

After obtaining the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, Yue Buqun diligently cultivated it, hoping to become the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance.

Lin Pingzhi gradually discovered Yue Buqun's many schemes against the Lin family.

Ultimately, the master and apprentice had a complete falling out.

Yue Buqun used the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique to suppress Lin Pingzhi, but Lin Pingzhi already knew the flaws in the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.

Therefore, the Nine Swords of Dugu broke through it.

In the end, Lin Pingzhi saw through the illusions of the martial world and retired to the mountains.

Of course, this was just Gu Qianbei's own idea.

Gu Qianbei shook his head, suppressing all these thoughts. He activated the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions and jumped onto the wall of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

At this moment, the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect and the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) of the Fuwei Escort Agency were engaged in a bloody battle.

Lin Zhennan and his wife joined forces to fight against Yu Canghai, but they suffered repeated defeats, and their defeat was only a matter of time.

Lin Pingzhi was also fighting desperately, but his strength was too weak, and he looked to be in grave danger.

"Do you need any help, Brother Lin?"

Gu Qianbei said with a smile.

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lin Pingzhi was overjoyed and said, "Brother Gu, you've helped me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a whoosh was heard, and the Qingcheng Sect disciple who was fighting Lin Pingzhi fell to the ground.

Upon closer inspection, a tiny cut was found on his neck.

Green leaves drifted over him and then disappeared into the sky and earth.

Ten thousand leaves fly and flowers flow!

Gu Qianbei made a move instantly, killing the Qingcheng Sect disciple.

"this……"

Lin Pingzhi was greatly surprised when he saw this.

Although he had seen Gu Qianbei make a move before, he still didn't know enough about Yu Renyan's strength.

The Qingcheng Sect disciple in front of him, who had completely suppressed him, couldn't even withstand a single move from Gu Qianbei.

This strength far exceeded his expectations.

The next moment, Lin Pingzhi felt a blur before his eyes, and the green robe had already landed beside him.

"You still need to practice your martial arts more. You've been slacking off quite a bit, haven't you?"

Gu Qianbei smiled faintly.

Lin Pingzhi scratched his head awkwardly.

"Brother Gu, isn't this the time to talk about these things?"

"Too."

Just then, Yu Canghai stabbed Lin Zhennan and his wife with his sword and glared angrily at Gu Qianbei.

"You green-robed brat! I was just looking for you to avenge my son, but you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep! Die!"

Yu Canghai roared, and his longsword instantly pierced through the air!

The power of a grandmaster is unleashed in its entirety!
