Chapter 171 What kind of luck is this? Is it some kind of golden word?
They discovered that the medicine he gave his grandfather was excellent, even having almost the same effect as the medicine they had found from Old Li and his group. They were even more eager to get their hands on the man and the prescription, which is why they have been following him until now.
"Don't try to fool me. We had a reason for taking action. This woman drugged my third brother and then left him to humiliate him in the street. We need an explanation!"
"It's easy for you to confess. I'll beat you all up, and then if you're not as skilled as me, don't come out here and embarrass yourself again!"
Tong Yuheng knew that this battle was inevitable sooner or later. It seemed he needed to find a way to investigate the Han family. If they were a family with no bottom line, he was afraid he would be in big trouble.
"Senior Dong, do you need our help?" If he wasn't allowed to participate in the duel between the two sides, it would be taboo, so Qiu Lancheng had to ask if they would allow it.
"Young Master Qiu, you don't need to get involved, just watch!" With that, Tong Yuheng took the lead and went straight for Han Yinglin. To catch the thief, you must first catch the king!
Tong Yuheng hadn't used the acupoint striking technique or the most difficult-to-master "Phantom Butterfly" movement skill earlier, so now he had found a perfect sparring partner.
She used the "Butterfly Shadow Step" to instantly appear in front of Han Yinglin. Before he could react and block, she touched his shoulder and used the reaction force to float backward, like a silent butterfly, leaving his attack range.
Han Yinglin stood frozen in place, unable to move! He was horrified; indeed, a martial artist's actual ability could not be determined solely by the apparent level of internal strength!
The two main characteristics of "Butterfly Shadow Step" are "speed" and "stillness". Tong Yuheng guessed that this should be a technique used to train bodyguards and assassins.
Her current cultivation level is only at the minor completion stage, but it's enough to deal with ordinary advanced martial artists. Today was the first time she used it in actual combat, and she used it in conjunction with acupoint striking techniques to subdue Han Yinglin, whose internal strength was slightly stronger than hers.
The ancient martial arts techniques passed down in this space are amazing!
She decided to cultivate this movement technique as the core skill of the Tong family, keeping it secret from outside her own family for the time being. Seeing so many members of the Han family present, she could take on more disciples. She didn't expect to bully them, but surely she could at least intimidate them?
Dong Wuyou's move shocked the Han family members present, and even Qiu Lancheng, who was watching from the sidelines, was stunned! To be able to use such an acupoint striking attack and coordinate it with such exquisite footwork, even a grandmaster-level martial artist in the current ancient martial arts world might not be able to do it more than a single palm strike!
This Dong Wuyou's skill level is definitely not just the intermediate martial artist level she's shown! I have to tell my family when I get back that this person is someone we can only befriend, not someone we can afford to offend!
Han Yinglin was unable to move at this moment. If Dong Wuyou wanted to kill him, he would already be dead! By taking the initiative to attack and provoke, even if he were killed, the Ancient Martial Arts Association would not fight against Dong Wuyou on his behalf.
When the Han family members saw that their own people had been wronged, they rushed up and surrounded Dong Wuyou and began to attack. However, their movements were very slow in Tong Yuheng's eyes. She easily struck each of them with a palm, making them vomit blood and fall to the ground, their faces filled with terror!
"You're breaking the rules by attacking me!" Han Yinglin shouted, unable to move his body or his mouth.
"Rules? You bring your whole family to surround me and then you start talking about rules? You start talking about rules when you arrogantly try to steal my prescription?"
You don't actually think the rules are all up to your Han family, do you? Does the martial arts world belong to you? Get lost, and don't look away from me again!
Seeing that Han Yinglin was unable to move, the young members of the Han family didn't dare to ask Dong Wuyou to release his acupoints, so they carried him away. She wasn't scared to death; the acupoints would release automatically in an hour or two, and he wouldn't be seriously injured.
"Senior, you have such a good temper. If I had your skills, I would break both of their legs!" Qiu Lancheng said.
"I think it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. I hope they'll use their brains and stop bothering me in the future," Dong Wuyou (Tong Yuheng) said.
"I'm afraid things might not turn out as Senior Dong wishes. The Han family of Jibei has always been domineering. Now that they've found a backer, they're doing many shady things and have gained a lot of resources. They've developed rapidly in recent years. They won't let this go so easily after suffering a loss. Senior, you'd better be careful!"
"Thank you very much, Young Master Qiu! Our family has been out of the public eye for many years and has lost contact with the ancient martial arts world. We didn't even know what new rules the ancient martial arts world had at this time." She was very polite, hoping to learn more about the ancient martial arts world from him.
"I know that. Shall I tell you about it, senior? The Ancient Martial Arts Association is holding a trade fair these days. Why don't you come with us to take a look?" Qiu Lancheng said.
"Young Master Qiu, you must have come here by chance, right?" She planned to have a frank conversation with this person. Who knew that the Qiu family of Yuzhou was necessarily better than the Han family of Jibei?
"I did come to Yan City to attend the Ancient Martial Arts Association's trade fair. However, someone in my family found out that the Han family was coming here to kidnap someone, so I followed them..."
"However, I have no ill intentions. I just can't stand the Han family's behavior. Besides, my grandfather did tell us that he met a man surnamed Dong in Northeast China who knew ancient martial arts, and he told us to be more respectful when we encounter members of his family," Qiu Lancheng explained.
Tong Yuheng thought to himself: What kind of luck is this? Is it because I have a golden mouth? I used to joke that someone introduced me to a young man surnamed Zheng in the government compound, and it turned out to be Zheng Yunqing.
This time, a Dong family of ancient martial arts was just made up. I didn't expect that there really was such a family in Northeast China many years ago. I wonder if it still exists now?
"But I can confirm that I am not the Dong family member you think I am. We haven't moved in the last hundred years."
"None of that is important. Let me tell you about some things in the world of ancient martial arts first! It's still early, let's talk as we walk."
After a century of war in modern times, the ancient martial arts world has undergone great changes. Many ancient martial arts families disappeared in the flames of war, and some left for overseas.
Currently, there are fifty or sixty families participating in the Ancient Martial Arts Association, all of which have grandmaster-level martial artists in their ranks. The strength of each family varies greatly, and they all develop independently within their own territory, keeping their identities hidden from ordinary people.
In addition, there are some martial artists who join the Ancient Martial Arts Association as independent individuals. Within the association, they can post and accept tasks to provide resources for their own cultivation.
The Ancient Martial Arts Association is led by the government's security department, and sometimes it will allocate valuable resources to recruit martial artists for missions. The association stipulates that martial artists with grudges can issue challenges, but they cannot engage in private fights that would disrupt the peaceful lives of ordinary people.
The Ancient Martial Arts Association is an enforcement committee composed of representatives selected by various families. It is a powerful organization that handles matters such as the arrest and punishment of illegal practitioners of ancient martial arts.
In addition, the state has established a special task force for ancient martial arts, whose members are mostly ancient martial arts practitioners. Its main purpose is to safeguard national security and crack down on the sabotage activities of various reactionary organizations, both internal and external.
