Chapter 329 - 105: Hehuan Sect Disciple
Family scandal must not be spread.
How can such words be spoken in front of outsiders?
If the matter gets out, it would be a severe blow to the family’s reputation; if possible, he even wants to kill to silence.
"No!"
Upon hearing the word ’return,’ the woman’s complexion changed dramatically again, shaking her head repeatedly, her eyes filled with fear. She stepped back and said:
"I will never go back!"
"I... I’m already carrying Brother Gu’s child!"
"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, the noble man’s expression changed, his face turning ashen. He turned to look at the ’Brother Gu’ mentioned by the woman, his eyes filled with murderous intent:
"You beast..."
"Courting death!"
His figure moved, skimming the ground like a swift swallow, instantly pressing towards Gu Chong’s face, his single hand reaching forward like an unsheathed sharp sword.
The extreme speed caused his sleeve to flap wildly, and the air seemed to part into a cone shape, with a sharp whistling following in the wake.
True Qi Martial Artist!
This person wasn’t very old, yet had already cultivated True Qi, ranking as one of the top experts in Gu’an County.
"Swish!"
Seeing that Gu Chong was about to lose his life to the noble man, he suddenly leaned back, his whole body spinning near the ground to dodge the incoming attack.
This movement was swift and agile, executed perfectly, and he even took the opportunity to deliver a punch, forcing his opponent to stagger back.
"Golden Swan Fist!"
The noble man looked astonished, and then his eyes filled with anger:
"Gu Chong, the Chang Family took you in out of pity, yet you, as a servant, not only tarnished the young lady’s reputation but also secretly learned the Chang Family’s Martial Arts."
"You deserve to be cut to pieces!"
"Bang!"
Before his voice fell, the ground under his feet exploded, soil flying everywhere as his figure shot several meters forward, the fierce momentum frightening onlookers.
Facing him directly was terrifying.
Gu Chong’s face turned pale, fear evident in his eyes, but his body swayed and slipped to the side like a snake through grass, barely avoiding the attack.
At the same time, he reflexively grabbed at the noble man’s wrist with five fingers.
"Hmm?"
The noble man felt a slight pain at his pulse point, surprised, indicating that Gu Chong had cultivated True Qi, possessing the strength to threaten him.
Good!
You little thief!
You’ve hidden very well!
As he thought, an unknown anger surged up, and he shook his arm, muscles vibrating, shaking off the incoming five fingers.
Simultaneously, he stepped with a profound footwork, attacking like a swimming dragon.
His two arms were like long swords, sometimes picking, sometimes collapsing, slashing, pressing, pointing, sweeping, stirring, or drawing.
Every move targeted the opponent’s vital points, the sword’s whistle trembled, vaguely resembling the sound of waves surging.
The noble man used his fingers as a sword, striking fast as the wind, the Sword Form flowing endlessly, sweeping through any obstacle, suppressing the opponent in an instant.
In merely a blink, Gu Chong repeatedly found himself in danger, the signs of inevitable defeat looming.
"No!"
Seeing her lover in peril, the woman’s face changed dramatically, her wrist shaking, a Soft Sword sprang out, stabbing towards the noble man.
"Ding..."
The Soft Sword attacked fiercely, the man had no choice but to turn and block, flicking the blade with his fingers, Powerful Qi exploding, allowing him to retreat several meters.
"Chang Rong!"
Looking at the woman, the noble man trembled:
"You dare to attack me?"
"Third Brother." The woman cried with tears in her beautiful eyes:
"Don’t push me!"
"Good!"
"Very good!"
The noble man’s face was ashen, waving his hand sharply:
"Attack!"
"Show no mercy!"
"Yes!" The guards behind him responded, swarming forward, mostly Martial Artists, with even two Martial Artists among them.
With their addition, Gu Chong and the woman immediately showed signs of being overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the woman swung her sword wildly, and the crowd, wary of her identity, didn’t dare press too closely for the moment, barely holding on.
"Ah!"
Gu Chong roared madly, Powerful Qi exploded, scattering several figures, his perspective shifting as his body flickered a few times towards a group of carriages.
As long as he secured a carriage, there was a chance to escape.
"Out of the way!"
Leaping into the air, his body inverted, striking fiercely towards the driver with his palm, the Palm Technique ferocious and merciless.
"Humph!"
Xiang Xiu snorted lightly.
Originally just a bystander, he hadn’t expected to be drawn in, and although Gu Chong seemed handsome, his strikes were vicious and ruthless.
He showed no regard for whether he would take a life!
At this moment, he raised his hand slightly, an Invisible Force gathering before him, as if the universe turned, softly meeting the incoming dual palms.
Qianyuan Palm!
"Bang!"
The Palm Force clashed, Xiang Xiu remained unmoved, even the carriage beneath him didn’t shake, but Gu Chong’s expression changed dramatically, an Invisible Force poured into his body overwhelming him, numbing him entirely, and he was knocked to the ground, unable to move.
After landing, he couldn’t move a muscle.
"Brother Gu!"
The woman cried out in despair, but was suppressed by the combined force of the crowd.
"Excellent Palm Technique!"
The noble man’s eyebrows raised slightly, leaping forward to stand nearby. He respectfully cupped his hand towards Xiang Xiu:
"I didn’t expect such a master in this place. Thank you, senior, for your assistance. I am Chang Wei. May I ask how to address you?"
"I wouldn’t dare."
Xiang Xiu lowered his head:
"I am merely a driver."
Hmm?
Chang Wei raised his eyebrows, instinctively looking towards the carriage.
"Let’s go." At this time, Fang Zheng in the carriage spoke calmly:
"Don’t delay."
"Yes."
Xiang Xiu nodded in agreement, swung the whip, urging the horse to move slowly past the crowd.

The campfire was lit.
The light illuminated a moderately sized area.
The carriage stopped nearby, and Xiang Xiu somehow caught a wild rabbit, roasting it over the flame, seasoned with spices, the aroma spreading.
"Indeed, Martial Arts have different levels, but there is no precise division."
He spoke in a low voice:
"After all, some attain the Martial Arts Grandmaster through ordinary methods, while those with Supreme Martial Arts could ultimately become worthless."
