The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 396 You want to marry a wife, so you force me to give way

"Who are you? Why are you my enemy?" Duan Yanqing, who was standing in the middle of the inn, swung out the thin iron rod in his hand and sealed the window with it. He then used his Yang Finger to knock the long sword in the hand of the young man opposite him off course.

The sounds of fighting came from the rooms of Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan next to him at the same time, making Duan Yanqing quite anxious. However, this young man was quite good at lightness skills. He moved sideways in the air, and the long sword in his hand seemed to have infinite stickiness, and he managed to absorb his own power and not fall downstairs.

One of them stood in front of the window, and the other was floating in the air outside the window. They fought with a stick and a sword, and the two were evenly matched.

"Gusu Murong Fu, greetings to Senior Duan!" The young man was Murong Fu. His martial arts skills were far superior to Duan Yanqing's. It would be unfair to use ordinary means against the enemy, so he adopted this extreme method to put himself at a disadvantage, so as to offset the difference in martial arts between them. But even so, Duan Yanqing felt a lot of pressure.

"Qiao Feng in the north and Murong in the south, I originally thought that they were just hyped up by the martial arts world, but after seeing you take action, I realized that your reputation is not worthy of it. I just don't know what grudge between you and me?" Duan Yanqing was known as a villain in the martial arts world, but apart from killing an entire family for revenge, he also defected to the Yipintang of Western Xia and was despised by others, and he made things difficult for the Duan family of Dali. His other evil deeds were not obvious.

Murong Fu's figure appeared in mid-air, his sleeves fluttering like an immortal. He swung his sword repeatedly, making Duan Yanqing exhausted. However, he did not force himself at all. Instead, he said leisurely, "I have a good relationship with the Prince of Zhennan. This time, I went to Dali to propose marriage. The one I want to marry is the illegitimate daughter of the Prince of Zhennan. Although it is not a glorious thing, I cannot deny that my soon-to-be wife has the blood of the Dali Duan family."

"I know a little about your identity and origin, but I cannot judge your persistence and obsession. However, I am getting married soon. Could you please not make things difficult for the Dali Kingdom for the time being?" Murong Fu's words left Duan Yanqing speechless. You want to get married, so you force me to give way?

But when she heard that he was going to marry the illegitimate daughter of Prince Zhennan, she couldn't help but feel surprised and extremely pressured. This man's martial arts skills were unprecedented in her life, and his swordsmanship was superb, forcing her to fight him head-on, and she had no advantage at all in terms of moves.

"What do you think if I don't agree?" Duan Yanqing also had a temper. The moves of the iron staff in his hand suddenly changed. He used the staff as a sword to perform the Duan family's internal sword techniques, opening and closing them vigorously, dignified and self-respecting. Even in the extremely light and elegant sword moves, he did not lose the aura of a king, and temporarily prevented Murong Fu from suppressing him.

Orthodox martial arts have this characteristic. Although they are mature and steady and lack the weirdness of unexpected victory and unconventional sword techniques, they also have few shortcomings and are well-balanced in offense and defense. Just now, Duan Yanqing was easily suppressed by Murong Fu when he used the stronger and more adept evil martial arts. Suddenly, he switched to the Duan family swordsmanship and regained a little advantage.

However, these advantages were mostly due to Murong Fu's inability to use many martial arts out of thin air. Murong Fu was not at all panicked. He wielded the sword in his hand freely and had a lot of fun countering every move. He was proficient in the Nine Swords of Dugu and had learned the Tianshan Zhemei Hand not long ago. The more martial arts he saw, the higher his level would be. Naturally, he would not be disappointed by Duan Yanqing's complicated methods. Instead, he would be happier.

On the other side, Master Xuanbei, Duan Yu, and Zhu Danchen attacked from the main gate. Ye Erniang was quite alert and was not blocked in the room. She rushed to the corridor to block them. Yue Lao San, the Crocodile God of the South China Sea, was blocked at the door, but relied on his strength to repel Zhu Danchen and Duan Yu.

Duan Yu's martial arts skills were even better than the other two, but he lacked experience and the narrow area prevented him from using his Lingbo Weibu. Instead, he was forced back by the fierce Yue Lao San. Fortunately, Master Xuan Bei stepped forward and blocked Ye Erniang.

"Amitabha!" Master Xuanbei shouted the Buddha's name, and opened and closed the big Vajra Pestle, forcing Ye Erniang to retreat step by step. This kind of environment was also not what she liked. If Yue Laosan had not taken action in time, the two of them would have joined forces to fight against Master Xuanbei. I am afraid they would have been defeated within twenty moves.

Seeing more and more enemies appearing downstairs, Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan both issued warning whistles, and even launched a few powerful attacks to get to Duan Yanqing's room, broke through the door and entered his room.

Duan Yanqing hurriedly called for help from Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan. The two were shocked to see a man standing out of thin air outside the window and yet able to fight back and forth with Boss Duan. However, they both had rich experience in the martial arts world and did not slow down. The weapons in their hands passed Duan Yanqing at the same time and attacked Murong Fu.

"Come on!" Murong Fu was becoming more and more familiar with Duan Yanqing's methods, and gradually he became somewhat dissatisfied. Seeing the two men attacking him, he was not dissatisfied at all, but showed a look of joy. He swung the sword in his hand more and more brilliantly, and with a "clang~clang~clang~" sound he neutralized the joint attack of the two men.

Duan Yanqing pointed with his iron rod and released a Yang Finger force, but his body retreated instead of advancing. He grabbed a motionless man not far away, ran straight to the door, and killed Master Xuanbei.

"Donor Duan, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I..." Master Xuanbei said this, but the iron pestle in his hand hit out forcefully without any pause. Duan Yanqing's body shook, and the iron rod in his hand broke the wall and avoided Master Xuanbei's attack.

After hearing Duan Yanqing's call, Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan abandoned Murong Fu, turned around and attacked Master Xuanbei fiercely, pushing him back a step, and then rushed out from the big hole created by Duan Yanqing.

Duan Yanqing threw the hostage to Yue Lao San, and took the lead to fight off Master Xuan Bei, Duan Yu, and Zhu Danchen, rushing into the middle of the guards and cutting a bloody path. Yue Lao San followed closely behind, and Ye Er Niang brought up the rear with a sharp knife in her hand, and for a moment no one could get close to him.

Without an opponent, Murong Fu naturally had nowhere to draw strength from. Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan, both veterans of the martial arts world, attacked frantically before retreating. Murong Fu, seemingly standing on his own, didn't gain much strength, and fell lightly. By the time he leaped up and landed on the windowsill, the three villains had already rushed out of the inn.

"Senior Duan, why are you in such a hurry to leave? That vicious Yun Zhonghe walked into the wrong door and was captured by us. Senior Duan, are you going to abandon him and leave without a care?" Murong Fu was not in a hurry. He walked over confidently and his voice spread far away.

Duan Yanqing and Ye Erniang rushed forward as if they hadn't heard anything. Yue Lao San slowed down a bit when he heard that, but was kicked in the butt by Ye Erniang who was following closely behind him. He accelerated again, cursing angrily and feeling unhappy, but he didn't dare to make another mistake.

The tables, chairs and benches in the lobby on the first floor were in a mess. Twenty second-rate guards were rushed away by them. They were far inferior to the real masters, not to mention that Murong Fu had no intention of keeping them from the beginning.

Duan Yanqing, Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan rushed out of the inn and immediately used their lightness skills to plunge into the opposite forest and escape without looking back.

"Amitabha," Master Xuanbei chanted the Buddha's name, looking at Murong Fu with a hint of doubt, and said, "Mr. Murong's martial arts are superb. I admire him. Even if the four evil men joined forces, I'm afraid they wouldn't be his opponent. But why..."

Murong Fu sheathed his sword and said gloomily, "Master, have you seen who they are holding?"

Master Xuanbei is a master with excellent eyesight, so how could he not see clearly? But it was precisely because of this that he hesitated. Zhu Danchen was disappointed to see that Duan Yanqing and others were not left behind, but he had already confirmed that Murong Fu's martial arts skills were definitely better than Duan Yanqing's. As long as he was there, the four evil men would not be able to succeed.

No, now there are no longer four evil men, but three evil men. The vicious Yun Zhonghe was defeated by Duan Yu and died at the hands of Mu Wanqing.

Yes, they had originally captured Yun Zhonghe alive, but because this guy was ignorant of the danger and was not honest when he was captured, he flirted with Mu Wanqing with his dirty talk and was killed by a dart while carrying the bad-tempered girl on his back. His death was very unjust.

"Amitabha." Master Xuanbei did not answer Murong Fu's words, but his eyes were fixed on him, as if he wanted to get an answer from him.

Murong Fu arranged his men to be on guard to prevent Duan Yanqing from making a surprise attack and causing his joy to end in tragedy. Then he led Master Xuanbei, Duan Yu and Zhu Danchen into Duan Yanqing's guest room, looked around carefully, and finally found a trace in a corner of the room.

"It has been confirmed that this person is undoubtedly Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect. The mark left here is the unique mark of the Beggars' Sect, and this is the exclusive mark agreed upon between my Murong family and the Beggars' Sect." Murong Fu's expression was a little subtle. "Master, what are your thoughts?"

Master Xuanbei felt that his brain was not enough. Before he came to Sichuan, the news that the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang, Ma Dayuan, died from his unique throat-locking and grappling skills was widely circulated. Because of this, there was a lot of tension between the Beggar Gang and the Murong family. However, not long after he arrived in Sichuan, he saw the mark of Ma Dayuan asking for help from the Murong family.

This mixture of truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth, made Master Xuanbei, an old-fashioned man who thought he had some brains, a little confused.

"Can you confirm that it was Deputy Gang Leader Ma?" The first thing Master Xuan Bei needed to confirm was whether Ma Dayuan was really not dead.

"Our eyesight should be correct. It is impossible for the four evil men to arrest an unknown person for no reason." Although Murong Fu did not give a direct answer, it was almost the same.

"Amitabha, it's best to discuss this matter with the Beggars' Sect."

"Master, have you ever thought about why the news of Deputy Leader Ma's death spread among the Beggars' Sect?"

"Is there something else that needs to be done?"

"No, I'm afraid if this news gets out, not only will it fail to gain the understanding and support of the Beggars' Sect, but it will cause more trouble, and may even cost Deputy Sect Leader Ma his life."

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanbei's eyes suddenly narrowed, "Donor Murong, please be careful with your words!"

Murong Fu laughed heartily and said, "My every move is above board. The news of Deputy Leader Ma's death spread from the Beggars' Sect just as I was meeting a guest and preparing to depart for Dali. Master, do you really think I'm a suspect? The Murong family is the foremost family in Gusu City. I, Murong Fu, am also a founding Viscount of the Song Dynasty. I have close ties with the Dali Kingdom and even captured and killed Yun Zhonghe, the fourth of the Four Evils. Master, you don't think they'll abandon Yun Zhonghe just to go along with my show, do you?"

Master Xuanbei took a deep breath, shook his head, and tried to sober himself up. Then he asked, "What does Master Murong want to do?"

"Inform Dali. We cannot let Deputy Chief Ma die in Dali. Otherwise, it will be a great disaster for Dali." Murong Fu sighed slightly and said, "Rescue Deputy Chief Ma as soon as possible. Even if we can't rescue him immediately, we must force Duan Yanqing out of Dali."

Zhu Danchen's mind raced, his eyes suddenly widening as he asked, "Could it be that the villain is planning to use Deputy Gang Leader Ma as bait to lure Xixia Yipintang into Dali?"
