Chapter 189: Seeking Justice
With the lesson from before, when abnormalities appeared in the sky, many people subconsciously closed their eyes and used true qi to protect their bodies. This time, the “Frost-Blind Shadows” unleashed a killer move on the crowd near the high stage. Although Sect Leader Mo Shen was no match for Yu Hanhong, his internal kung fu had reached perfection. After protecting his eyes with true qi, he was not invaded by the cold air.
Although Guardian Xue De knew Yu Hanhong had this move, his internal energy had been dissipated by Yu Hanhong when he was imprisoned three years ago. Although he had recovered in these three years, his foundation was still damaged, and the harmonization of Yin and Yang qi in his body was somewhat obstructed. Although he closed his eyes, his internal energy couldn’t generate layers of Yang energy in time to resist that cold air. In an instant, his internal energy was completely unable to circulate. His eyes felt a deep stinging pain. After the toxic power circulated in his body for a moment, it had already eroded most of his internal organs. Suddenly spitting out a mouthful of black blood, his body went limp and hung down, actually dying!
In these three years, Dugu Huansheng had learned the method to resist “Frost-Blind Shadows” from Dugu Yuan’an. Knowing that when the snow frost light spots appeared, passing cold air around the pupils in advance and using her own cold air to resist external cold air, actively covering her own vision, acted as a deception method. After the cold air dissipated, the snow frost light spots could no longer hurt her eyes. Therefore, Dugu Wenxing concentrated on circulating energy to resist cold air entering his eyes, while Dugu Huansheng and Dugu Yuan’an flew forward, their sword tips stabbing at Yu Hanhong’s vital acupoints!
Yu Hanhong loosened the blood threads in his hand, releasing the two. Sensing that Guardian Xue De’s breath was gone, Sect Leader Mo Shen felt sudden grief. Thinking that eighteen years ago, Guardian Xue De was also a proud son of heaven shining brightly at the Discourse on the Dao Conference witnessed by him, but now ended up so miserably. Suppressing the deep hatred in his heart, he jumped off the high stage holding Guardian Xue De’s corpse, landing beside Duke Wutu and Ge Kan.
Duke Wutu’s internal kung fu could generate internal energy continuously. His realm was already higher than everyone in the world. Therefore, although “Frost-Blind Shadows” was a killer move targeting blindness, it couldn’t shake him at all. Opening his eyes to check, he saw signs of ulceration on Guardian Xue De’s cheeks, knowing that the toxic power in the corpse was leaking out. He separated Sect Leader Mo Shen from the corpse directly. Hearing Ge Kan whisper, “Although Yu Hanhong’s blood kung fu is strong, the poison he uses comes from the blood poison in Xue Mu’s body. The Black Blood Poison Scorpion has a major characteristic: it repels its own kind. When they meet, both sides suffer and die. Therefore, only one Black Mystic Poison Scorpion can survive in an area.”
Xue Mu’s current internal kung fu allowed her to absorb that cold air and turn it into her own skill. Therefore, she was already assisting Dugu Huansheng and Dugu Yuan’an in a fierce fight with Yu Hanhong on the high stage. Hearing Ge Kan say this, she said, “Daddy and I only found three Gu Kings in these three years. There is still one Gu King Blood Pill left. Sect Leader Mo Shen, take it quickly!”
Sect Leader Mo Shen shook his head. “This old man has lived enough. Don’t know how many people that Yu Hanhong wants to hurt. Keep it for important people!”
“I mean, let Xue Mu use internal energy to help you expel the poison.” Ge Kan said.
Diwu Miaofu and Sect Leader Mo Shen were both stunned, but Duke Wutu reacted. “Correct! Xue Mu’s blood poison and Yu Hanhong’s blood poison originate from the same Black Mystic Poison Scorpion. If Yu Hanhong can hurt you, Xue Mu can save you. The method of fighting poison with poison has been useful since ancient times!”
Diwu Miaofu shouted immediately, “Sister Xue, come quickly!”
On the high stage, Dugu Huansheng used the martial arts of the Dugu clan to deal with Yu Hanhong. Yu Hanhong only used blood threads to restrain her, but didn’t intend to strike her ruthlessly, saying, “Huansheng, you and I are born of the same mother. After all, I couldn’t bear it in my heart, so I didn’t do anything to your Dugu Manor. If you press me aggressively today, I won’t show mercy!”
Dugu Huansheng shouted, “Wasn’t Hancheng your sister born of the same mother? Didn’t you kill her anyway!”
Yu Hanhong sighed. “The person who killed her was Dharma King Lie Sheng. I didn’t want her to die either, but she chose to leave a way out for Yu Yuan and gave up her own life.” Then anger suddenly appeared on his face, and the evil qi of the blood threads pressed straight towards Dugu Huansheng. “As a member of the ‘Hidden Darkness Generation,’ how could you know that the elders of the Yu Clan were all things worse than pigs and dogs? You thought Sister Mu died of depression, but in reality, she was forced into a desperate situation by the elders in the clan and died by suicide to protect her chastity!”
Hearing this, Dugu Huansheng was stunned, almost unable to avoid the blood threads. But although Yu Hanhong’s anger increased, his reason remained. Or maybe because he wanted to vent these words, he kept Dugu Huansheng alive, withdrawing the blood threads only for restraint. Dugu Yuan’an was originally dealing with Yu Hanhong together with Dugu Huansheng, but Mu Ruo suddenly attacked her. Xue Mu saved the situation in time, and the couple dealt with Mu Ruo together.
“I don’t believe the elders in the clan would do this!” Dugu Huansheng shouted.
Yu Hanhong sneered. “Why don’t you believe it? I poked eighteen bloody holes in Elder Yu Shengtian’s body. To make me spare the lives of his wife and children, he knelt in front of me to repent. Ruo’er had already escaped through the secret passage at that time and didn’t know the true cause of her mother’s death. At that time, someone even said something like ‘The Great Elder has admitted his mistake. Take his life and go down the mountain. We will definitely not reveal your identity,’ and said ‘He is at fault, his wife and children are innocent,’ asking me to spare the weak. But what crime did my Sister Mu commit? She was a weak person. Who in the clan sought justice for her?”
“In this way, only I, her husband, can seek justice for her!” As soon as his voice fell, the blood threads had already entangled Dugu Huansheng’s body. Dugu Wenxing descended from the air, kicking at Yu Hanhong. Although his eyes were closed, he was extremely sensitive to the surrounding aura. Yu Hanhong moved his fingers, changing the direction of the blood threads, entangling Dugu Wenxing’s leg, and flying several blood threads to stab at Dugu Yuan’an!
Although Xue Mu heard Diwu Miaofu’s shout, the situation was critical, and she could only consider Dugu Yuan’an’s side first. Although Dugu Yuan’an said she injured Mu Ruo before, after exchanging moves with Mu Ruo, Xue Mu still felt Mu Ruo’s skill was extremely profound. Not knowing if their Soul Cold internal kung fu had reached the twelfth level, the coldness froze the surroundings into frost. And Xue Mu emitted her own heat. Therefore, thick mist was generated in the area where the three fought, and no figures could be seen at all.
Diwu Miaofu shouted again, “Sister Xue! Hit Yu Hanhong!”
She said this because Ge Kan added, “Let Xue Mu use her own blood poison against Yu Hanhong’s blood poison, see if she has a way to suppress it.” Duke Wutu also felt she could act like this. Seeing Sect Leader Mo Shen’s internal energy failing, he divided his attention, treating both Ge Kan and Mo Shen at the same time. Just then, a vicissitudinous female voice suddenly rang out: “You old white-head, how can your method of treating poison compare with my ‘Origin Returning Wonderful Method’?”
Diwu Miaofu was instantly overjoyed. “Old Madam Yan, you came!” No one from Goose Shadow Mountain Villa had appeared in public for three years. Originally thinking Old Madam Yan wouldn’t bring people to the martial arts conference again, who would have thought she actually appeared? How could people not be happy?
“Mo Shen, your great calamity is imminent too.” Old Madam Yan sat cross-legged, extending both palms to circulate energy for Sect Leader Mo Shen. Glancing sideways at the stage, she snorted coldly. “Although that brat’s evil kung fu is strong, there is still a way to suppress it. Duke Wutu, isn’t that right?”
Duke Wutu said, “Yes.”
Xue Mu, Dugu Yuan’an, and Mu Ruo all heard Diwu Miaofu’s shout on the stage. Without thinking, Dugu Yuan’an said, “Mu’er, I’ll handle this!” Xue Mu thought Diwu Miaofu must have received guidance from Duke Wutu or Ge Kan, and said without hesitation, “Okay, be careful!”
With that, she joined the Dugu couple, forming a claw with three fingers to attack Yu Hanhong’s back heart!
