Chapter 22: Wu Que in Defeat, Gains Fame Across the Land!
What should be said and what shouldn’t be said, Yang Huan has already spoken.
Wu Que also has no more doubts.
So, the two didn’t waste any more words and once again began to fight.
In terms of skill, Yang Huan and Wu Que are indeed a bit apart.
But the subtlety of the Long Rainbow Sword Technique is indeed far superior to the Moving Flower Pavilion Sword Technique.
Additionally, there’s the weakening effect of the Water Dirty Thunder on Wu Que.
As one gains, the other diminishes. Yang Huan already had the capital to directly confront Wu Que.
The two engaged in a sword technique duel, a truly marvelous sight.
The spectators around them found it quite exhilarating.
However, as time passed, Wu Que began to falter.
Relying on the Rainbow Mental Technique, Yang Huan became stronger and fiercer as the battle continued.
While Wu Que was continuously corroded by the Water Dirty Thunder, growing weaker with each blow.
In this duel, Wu Que’s defeat was almost certain.
In the end, Wu Que threw away his sword and gave up resistance.
He knew his defeat was inevitable, and continuing would be meaningless.
Closing his eyes, he awaited his own disappointment.
It’s just a pity that he hadn’t fulfilled the task assigned by his elder aunt, letting down her expectations.
He also couldn’t save that young lady, letting her down too…
For a moment, Wu Que was overwhelmed by despair.
But the death he was waiting for didn’t come.
After a while, he felt that his strength had somewhat recovered.
Opening his eyes, he saw that Yang Huan had already withdrawn the Water Dirty Thunder.
As for Yang Huan, he was already holding Huang Rong and preparing to leave.
“Young master…”
“Young master, are you alright?”
Helu and Hesong immediately ran to Wu Que’s side, asking with concern.
“I’m fine, but… why didn’t he kill me?”
Wu Que was somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected Yang Huan to spare him.
Looking at it this way… that person isn’t actually bad.
However, at this moment, Yang Huan in front suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned to look at Wu Que and said, “Young Master Wu Que, are you looking for someone named Jiang Xiaoyu? If so, then follow me.”
Wu Que was momentarily puzzled, wondering how Yang Huan knew about this.
But he couldn’t possibly figure it out himself, so he followed along.
…
Arriving at an inn, Yang Huan secured a room.
Once Yang Huan had gone inside, Wu Que politely knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
With Yang Huan’s permission granted, Wu Que pushed the door open and entered.
“Just one person come in.”
Wu Que immediately stopped Helu and Hesong, walked into the room, and closed the door.
“Does young master Yang know Jiang Xiaoyu? Do you know where he is?” Wu Que asked.
“I don’t know him, nor do I know where he is,” Yang Huan replied.
“Then why did young master…”
Yang Huan smiled and said, “Aren’t you curious why your elder aunt insists that you kill Jiang Xiaoyu? And not just that, it has to be you who kills him, and he can’t die from anyone or anything other than your hands.”
Wu Que lowered his head. This matter was indeed his biggest mystery so far.
He had asked his elder aunt, but she refused to say. He had asked his second aunt, and while she wanted to say something, she didn’t dare.
“Help me with a task, and I’ll tell you the truth.”
“Of course, before that, I can give you a little bit of information.”
Wu Que immediately looked up at Yang Huan, a growing curiosity in his eyes.
“This matter is related to your origin.”
“Related to my origin? Really?”
“Indeed.”
“How did you come to know about it?”
“I have my ways, don’t ask, even if you ask, I won’t say.”
Wu Que wisely didn’t press further and just asked, “What do you want me to do?”
“Accompany me to Heimu Cliff and seize the position of the leader of the Sun Moon Cult.”
Wu Que’s martial arts were indeed quite formidable. If not for Yang Huan having the Water Dirty Thunder to counter the Moving Flower Receiving Jade technique, he might not be able to defeat him!
Crossing borders to fight wasn’t solely Yang Huan’s specialty; some individuals were skilled at border-crossing combat as well.
And Wu Que was one such person!
Many experts resided atop Heimu Cliff.
Dongfang Unbeaten was a grandmaster-level expert.
For Yang Huan, who was only in the later stages of innate realm, infiltrating the situation might be manageable, but seizing the position of the cult leader? That would prove to be quite challenging.
If there were an external help like Wu Que, this journey to Heimu Cliff should have been even smoother. This is one of the reasons why Yang Huan didn’t kill Wu Que!
Of course, the main reason is still his fear of Yao Yue.
That crazy woman Yao Yue is terrifying when she goes mad!
He didn’t want to be hunted down by that crazy woman Yao Yue at such a young age!
“Alright! I believe you!”
Wu Que agreed.
…
Heavenly Machination Tower.
“What? The Young Master of the Moving Flower Palace was defeated by a disciple of the Huashan Sect from the Ming Dynasty?”
Upon hearing this news, the personnel of the Heavenly Machination Tower were also taken aback.
What kind of trash sect is the Huashan Sect?
Regardless of which dynasty’s Huashan Sect, they’re all trash!
But the Huashan Sect of the Ming Dynasty…
The Huashan Sect of the Ming Dynasty might still be trash, but they indeed produced a highly skilled disciple. However, it seems that disciple has already been expelled from the sect.
“Is that Huashan disciple by any chance Lin Chong?”
The personnel of the Heavenly Machination Tower immediately asked.
Lin Chong of the Huashan Sect had previously made a name for himself at Shaolin, defeating his master Yue Buqun, fighting equally against the former leader of the Sun Moon Cult Ren Woxing. His achievements were outstanding.
On the Innate Rankings, Ren Woxing and Lin Chong were tied at 15th place.
So, when it comes to Huashan disciples, the first person the personnel of the Heavenly Machination Tower would think of is Lin Chong.
However, the Heavenly Machination Tower personnel immediately denied, “Honored Master, the one who defeated Wu Que is not Lin Chong but someone called Yang Huan.”
“This Yang Huan is the youngest disciple of Yue Buqun from the Huashan Sect. He rarely ventures out and the battle against Wu Que is the only conflict we currently know about.”
