Chapter 61 The Enemy Is Hard to Defeat
"Not very good!"
The probing is now over, and Liu Chun has no intention of holding back. He is ready to finish off this seemingly impenetrable guy in one fell swoop, and also test the power of his newly acquired "internal strength".
After performing a few impressive moves, Liu Chun slammed his heel down hard on Gu Xie – a deadly strike.
Gu Xie, who hadn't fully reacted yet, crossed his arms to block. He didn't know when Liu Chun had started learning martial arts.
In the eyes of "Jianghu people", Liu Chun's method of charging up his strength and then using it to flip and smash with his heel is definitely a deadly move. Once Gu Xie takes a solid kick, his iron wall will probably be deformed.
At this moment, Gu Xie felt as if his two arms had hit the wall hard, and they were slightly deformed, but with his clothes covering them, no outsider could tell anything.
He frowned and demanded, "When did you learn martial arts?"
Liu Chun did not respond to this, after all, his current identity was no longer that of the Liu Chun who could act, but merely a master that Pang Wenke had found from somewhere.
"What? You're giving up so quickly? I've only just warmed up, you can't back down now!"
Liu Chun pulled his foot back and quickly threw a punch at him.
However, Gu Xie has now fully realized the situation. While fighting and retreating, he is trying to avoid Liu Chun unleashing another killing move that could bend his impenetrable defenses. Even if he has the strength left, he will still be no match for Liu Chun.
"Trying to hide?"
Liu Chun pressed his advantage, launching a fierce attack on Gu Xie, combining punches and kicks. He didn't seem like someone who had just obtained the power of an "ancient artifact," unless he had been cultivating since childhood.
He is definitely not Liu Chun!
Gu Xie, who originally only wanted to grab Liu Chun and run away, quickly realized this and that his impenetrable defenses were likely no match for someone like Liu Chun.
"Wang Pei, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Pei, who had been full of confidence, kept a close distance with Gu Xie and the others.
Now that they've realized they need to run, it's clearly too late.
Liu Chun mentally shouted "Canhe Finger" and accurately hit the target Wang Pei. However, he did not die immediately. Instead, he felt numb and weak all over and fell to the ground.
Upon hearing the sound, Gu Xie originally intended to take this person down with him, but before Wang Pei could even reach a safe area, he was somehow knocked to the ground.
"What did you do to him?" Gu Xie asked angrily.
Liu Chun, however, appeared relaxed: "As per my young master's orders, none of you will escape today. You will all stay here!"
"Do you really think that's all I'm capable of?"
"What else?"
Enraged, Gu Xie lifted his robe and reached out to grab something. He then took out two short swords, which were made entirely of steel, just like Gu Xie himself.
"You forced me to do this."
"Don't think you're the only one with a weapon." Liu Chun said defiantly, then pulled out a brand-new kitchen knife from his waist. Although it was brand new, there were still vegetable scraps and bits of food stuck to it.
Gu Xie burst into laughter upon seeing this: "What? You don't even have a decent weapon and have to use a kitchen knife? I think you've lost your mind!"
Liu Chun said solemnly, "Whether we can win depends mainly on who's using it. If you still think this impenetrable wall is invincible, then let's see whose weapon is more powerful."
"OK!"
Gu Xie and Liu Chun quickly got into a fight, and after a few rounds, Liu Chun was at a disadvantage and did not gain any advantage.
With Gu Xie's skillful use of the two swords, his clothes were already torn in several places, and now they looked even more tattered.
Strangely enough, even though Liu Chun was at a disadvantage, his clothes were only torn, but his skin was completely unharmed, which made Gu Xie curse "Auntie" in his heart.
"This kid is really strange. It's as if he saw through all my attacks. It seems like I had the advantage, but that's not actually the case."
Thinking that if Wang Pei continued to entangle with Liu Chun, he would probably die here, but he couldn't leave now. What should he do?
Gu Xie thought it over carefully and finally decided to sacrifice himself to take Wang Pei away safely. However, Wang Pei was currently unable to move at all, and Liu Chun was still keeping a close eye on him.
"...A dead end!"
During the fight, Gu Xie not only faced Liu Chun's powerful attacks, but also went to check on Wang Pei's condition.
Because of the unusual nature of the attack, even Gu Xie didn't know how to resolve the problem in a short time.
He was hit by the Canhe Finger technique before, but nothing happened to him, so he doesn't know if this counts as another kind of technique.
It's a pity they haven't figured out a way to deal with Liu Chun's "Conjunction Finger" yet, and now a new problem has arisen. If Wang Pei could insist on going back, perhaps he could have done some serious research.
"Looks like you're nearing your end." Liu Chun held the kitchen knife in his hand. Although it wouldn't cause Gu Xie any real harm, it could still leave some marks on the steel.
"I haven't lost yet!"
Gu Xie did something unexpected, and took out a shiny object from his body. Before Liu Chun could react to what it was, he forcibly fed it to Wang Pei.
Before long, Wang Pei began to recover. Although he was still weak, he was able to stand up and even move around like a normal person.
"You fed him the 'antique'!" Liu Chun was momentarily confused. Weren't you all in cahoots? How come you're now using your own people?
"Not bad!" Gu Xie seemed quite ruthless at this moment: "Anyway, Wang Pei is useless now, so I might as well help him at the last moment and defeat you. That way, even if he dies, his death will be worthwhile."
"If you refuse to submit to us, then even if it costs me my old bones, I will take you down with me. So from now on, we will not run away anymore."
"Now it seems you people are the real lunatics!"
Liu Chun picked up the kitchen knife. Perhaps it wouldn't be of much use to Gu Xie or the monster, but at least he had something in his hand, whether it was for comfort or as a tool.
After consuming the "Ancient Artifact," Wang Pei quickly transformed into an ugly monster with tough skin, standard sharp claws, and a single gray-brown horn on its head.
"Go! Kill him!" Gu Xie commanded. Wang Pei only glanced at him before pushing him aside. The mutated body almost filled the entire corridor.
Because he already had a bad relationship with Liu Chun, and was now being controlled by Gu Xie, Wang Pei didn't hesitate and grabbed towards Liu Chun.
Liu Chun seized the opportunity, slid in behind Wang Pei, and then kicked him hard in the back, sending him flying.
Just as they had a moment to pause, Gu Xie launched an attack, kicking Liu Chun away so that he crashed into Wang Pei's massive body.
"I forgot there's one more!"
At the same time, Wang Pei suddenly grabbed Liu Chun's arm in a counter-clockwise rotation and then clenched his fist tightly.
However, Liu Chun was quite strong, and it was impossible for Wang Pei to fully exert his strength. He was still inside, clenching his fists tightly, and even Wang Pei's expression instantly became serious.
