Chapter 222

Chapter 222: Shanhaidao, scared away at a glance

On the official road, Ma Gu was locked in a fierce battle with a single sword, battling a dozen disciples.

He should have been outnumbered, but with his swordsmanship, he was able to crush the dozen disciples.

This scene not only made Wei Zian’s blood boil, but also stunned Zhao Qianlin.

She had never imagined that this somewhat thin groom, who had spent his days chopping wood and feeding horses in the Taoist temple, or was a silent groom, could have such powerful martial arts skills.

He could actually single-handedly fight against a dozen Liuyun Sect disciples.

You have to know that among the dozen or so Liuyun Sect disciples, several of them were at the same level as Ma Gu, having also reached the Great Perfection of the Bones and Muscles Realm.

Yet, under Ma Gu’s swordsmanship, they were unable to withstand it. It was simply incredible.

“Master Ma’s Shanhai Swordsmanship is well-developed. He’s already embodying some of the essence of Elder Wei. Given time, he might reach the Grandmaster level.”

Lu Qing observed Ma Gu’s swordsmanship with approval.

The swordsmanship Ma Gu currently wields was taught to him by Wei Shanhai, known as the [Shanhai Sword].

It’s a master-level swordsmanship Wei Shanhai perfected by integrating his own knowledge before reaching the Xiantian realm.

As Wei Zi’an’s master, Ma Gu has resided in the Wei family’s villa for the past two years, guiding and supervising Wei Zi’an’s practice.

Wei Shanhai frequently visited the villa, and upon seeing Ma Gu’s diligence, he felt inspired to teach him his once-famous swordsmanship,

and he would also offer him guidance from time to time.

Occasionally, Lu Qing would observe Ma Gu practicing and share his insights.

With the guidance of two great masters of the sword art who have mastered the essence of the sword, Ma Gu’s swordsmanship has advanced by leaps and bounds over the past two years.

Now, he wasn’t far from the mastery of the sword art, a mastery of both strength and softness, meticulously mastered.

This was why he could, with a single sword, relentlessly defeat dozens of Liuyun Sect disciples.

“Doctor Lu Qing, can I go help Master?”

Seeing his master so imposing, Wei Zian, watching from the sidelines, felt his blood boiling with excitement, and a sense of eagerness to try.

Lu Qing paused.

The Wei family had sent Wei Zian along specifically to train him.

Now was undoubtedly a prime opportunity.

He nodded, “Go ahead, but be careful.”

“I understand!”

With Lu Qing’s permission, Wei Zian instantly grew excited.

He reached behind his back and pulled out the two short staffs he had been carrying. With a twist of his hands, the two steel sticks became a single, long staff.

“Master, I’m here to help you!”

Wei Zian shouted, and with a few leaps, he was already in the middle of the battlefield. His long staff, like a meteor, shot towards the head of a Liuyun Sect disciple wielding a sword.

The Liuyun Sect disciple, initially dismissive of Wei Zi’an’s youth,

saw him coming. But a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. His sharp sword morphed into a swirl of shadows, and instead of retreating, he charged at Wei Zi’an, intent on slaying him in one blow, disrupting Magu’s focus.

He had clearly heard the stick-wielding boy call Magu “Master.”

If he could kill him, or even injure him, Magu’s mind would be in turmoil,

and his formidable swordsmanship would be exposed.

Despite being his first real combat, Wei Zi’an showed no fear in the face of the enemy’s dazzling swordsmanship.

He laughed heartily, swung the iron stick in his hand slightly, and a cloud of stick shadows suddenly erupted, enveloping the sword-wielding Liuyun Sect disciple.

The powerful force of the stick instantly shattered the opponent’s sword shadows, and then, with a series of continuous stick strikes, he struck the Liuyun Sect disciple in the chest.

The iron rod in Wei Zian’s hand weighed dozens of pounds. Under his influence, the powerful force was beyond the ability of the Liuyun Sect disciple who had just entered the muscle and bone realm to withstand.

His chest collapsed, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he fell limply to the ground.

Yiqi Staff Technique!

This staff technique, modified by Lu Qing, had been fully taught to Wei Zi’an since he reached the Muscle and Bone Realm a year prior.

Over the past year, he had already mastered it to unparalleled proficiency.

This was his first time using it against an enemy, and he unexpectedly achieved success, beating a foe of his own realm.

“Master, let’s join forces!”

With a successful strike, Wei Zi’an’s confidence soared. He shouted, unleashing his staff technique like a dancing dragon, pushing aside several men before joining Ma Gu.

“Alright, let’s kill together!”

Ma Gu, delighted by his disciple’s prowess, laughed heartily, and charged forward once more with his sword.

With Wei Zi’an’s support, he felt free to worry. His swordplay became even more ferocious, and in a flash, he had inflicted casualties on three more Liuyun Sect disciples.

In total, five Liuyun Sect disciples had fallen, leaving fewer than ten still able to fight.

As their power ebbed and flowed, the combined efforts of Ma Gu and his disciple became more methodical, increasingly overwhelming the remaining Liuyun Sect disciples.

This scene filled Zhao Qianlin with surprise and delight.

She hadn’t expected not only Ma Gu to be so formidable on Old Doctor Chen’s side, but even Wei Zi’an, who usually appeared quiet and like a servant, was equally astoundingly powerful. It was truly beyond her expectations.

She felt a flush in her face as she recalled how she had just been urging the old doctor and his men to flee.

It turned out she was the one with the most limited knowledge, having failed to grasp that the groom and servants accompanying the old doctor and his men were such martial arts masters.

No wonder Master had said that when he and his men were being pursued by the Liuyun Sect, the old doctor and his men had remained so calm; it turned out they had this kind of support.

“What a bunch of losers!”

The gray-clad man’s face darkened as he saw the dozen or so disciples he had brought with him were overpowered by the two opposing forces, with several killed and wounded.

He was filled with indignation.

You have to understand that the cultivation levels displayed by Ma Gu and Wei Zi’an were merely at the Bones and Muscles realm.

Even if their fighting styles were impressive, the dozen or so disciples he brought with him were all at the Bones and Muscles realm.

Several of them were even as advanced as Ma Gu, having also reached the Bones and Muscles realm.

However, in such a disparate power situation, not only were his own men unable to defeat the enemy, but they were also killed several times in a counterattack. How could he possibly save face?

A sinister look crossed his face, and the gray-clad man raised his bow and arrow once again.

However, just as he was about to fire a cold arrow at Ma Gu and his disciple, he felt a sudden chill rising from his heart.

His entire body stiffened, and he turned stiffly in the direction of the chill.

He met a pair of calm eyes.

“If I were you, I’d drop my bow and arrow,” Lu Qing said calmly.

The gray-clad man stared at Lu Qing in amazement, a chill sweeping through him.

At this moment, he knew that Lu Qing, who seemed to be harmless and of low cultivation, was actually an extremely terrifying existence.

Otherwise, as a strong man in the internal organs realm, he would never tremble instinctively because of the other party’s eyes.

He hit a wall!

Although he didn’t know why looking at the extremely young Lu Qing gave him such a terrifying feeling,

the gray-clothed man believed in his martial arts intuition that he had gained through thousands of years of hard work.

The group of people in front of him were not what he thought at the beginning, passers-by who could be crushed and ravaged at will, but pretending to be pigs to eat the tiger, looking weak, but actually extremely terrifying and powerful!

Escape!

The gray-clothed man, who understood this, made a decision in an instant.

He didn’t even care about the disciples who were still fighting, and his feet moved in a series of steps, directly using his body skills to escape.

He actually chose to escape without a fight!
