Chapter 277: Martial Arts Secrets
of Di'an Hotel, Feng Xiaokang was sitting on the sofa, leisurely sipping the fragrant tea in his cup.Opposite him sat an old man in a blue robe. Though his hair and beard were white, and he looked to..."That's a story that begins ten years ago..."
Tang Tianyi began to speak.
Ten years ago, the martial arts of China just began to rise, causing unprecedented upheaval. Major schools sent their disciples into the secular world one after another. Some opened martial arts gyms, some went into business, and some founded new schools.
Although it appears prosperous, there are also some crooked and sinister elements mixed in.
Martial artists who possess far superior strength to ordinary people, once they turn to evil, are difficult to control and caused great trouble for the authorities at the time.
To change this situation and prevent those who tarnish the reputation of Chinese martial arts from doing so, the Sword Saint Situ Changkong stepped forward at that time and founded the Chinese Martial Arts Association.
"At the same time, branches were established in each province and city, integrating martial artists and eliminating evil sects. This stabilized China's martial arts landscape."
Ye Bufan listened with interest. He had never heard these martial arts secrets before.
"Master Tang, how powerful is that Sword Saint Situ Changkong What level has his cultivation reached"
Tang Tianyi said: "Senior Situ is the president of the Martial Arts Association, a master of the generation whose cultivation has reached the Heavenly Rank, profound and unfathomable."
"Oh!" Ye Bufan nodded. "I must pay a visit if I have the chance!"
Tang Tianyi continued, “Back then, the martial arts scene in Jiangnan was also very chaotic, even more so than other places.”
At that time, the most notorious criminal was named Li Tianxing. His cultivation had reached the early stage of Xuanjie. Not only did he rely on his power to do evil, but he also established a large Jianghui, gathering all kinds of people from the three teachings and nine streams.
After its establishment, the Taijiang Association became even more rampant, engaging in murder, arson, forcing women into prostitution, human trafficking, and drug dealing. In short, it committed all sorts of evil deeds.
At that time, both the north and south of Jiangnan deeply despised the Grand River Conference. However, these people were all martial artists, making it difficult to eradicate them.
Ye Bufan didn't speak this time, he just listened quietly, knowing that Tang Tianyi must have his purpose in saying these things.
At a critical juncture, Elder Wu Tianshi stepped forward and rallied righteous individuals from various sects and schools to form the Jiangnan City Martial Arts Association. Together, they launched a siege against the Da Jiang Hui.
The final Battle of Wolf Teeth Mountain was extremely brutal. I, the old man, also participated in it. At that time, my cultivation had just reached the late stage of the Yellow Rank.
"If it hadn't been for Brother Wutianxi helping me out in that battle, I would have been killed by Li Tianxing long ago."
Song Aoshuang was also attracted by this past event, even forgetting her own injuries. She asked: "What happened later"
Later, Brother Wutianxi and Lieutenant Tianxing had a decisive battle on the peak of Langya Mountain. In the end, both of them were left severely injured.
Li Tianxing, under pressure, made a vow and immediately fled overseas. He swore not to step foot in China for 10 years. As for Wu Tianxi, his elder brother, he was left with internal injuries and could no longer make any progress, remaining stuck at the initial stage of the Xuan rank ever since.
Song Aoshuang said in surprise, "I didn't expect Master's internal injuries were caused like this!"
She only knew that Mu Tianxi was suffering from internal injuries, but she didn't know how he got them. Mu Tianxi had never said anything about it.
Tang Tianyi sighed again: "It can be said that Wulao is a hero of Jiangnan martial arts. Without him, there would be no stable Jiangnan City today, and without him, there would be no old man me today."
Song Aoshuang said: "Why let that villain go Shouldn't we just kill him to save trouble"
Tang Tianyi chuckled wryly, "You make it sound easy. At the time, your grandfather was the top martial artist in Jiangnan City, and he was already severely injured. If you had fought any longer, both of you would have likely died, with neither side gaining an advantage."
Hearing this, Ye Bufan finally understood. It seemed that Old Tang had taken a roundabout way to get him to help treat Wu Tianxi's internal injuries.
And the two people coming to the door today also had this purpose, but Song Tie's incident made him embarrassed to speak directly.
Therefore, he brought up Wu Tianxi's merits and his injuries, hoping to gain sympathy and recognition.
Song Aoshuang obviously hadn't thought that much, and asked again: "Grandpa Tang, what about that evil person Li Tianxing Is he dead"
Tang Tianyi first shook his head, then sighed: "As the saying goes, good people don't live long, and disasters last for a thousand years. This is indeed the case with Li Tianxing."
Not only did this guy survive, but after getting injured he ran straight overseas. It's said that not only did he repair his injuries, but he also greatly increased his cultivation and founded the Grand River Society once again.
But he did keep his word from back then, and for 10 years he didn't set foot in China, let alone Jiangnan City.
But now the 10-year period has arrived. Just yesterday, the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association received a battle invitation from Li Tianxing. This guy formally challenged Wulao, claiming to flatten the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association.
Ye Bufan said, "Li Tianxing stepped foot back into China. Doesn't he fear the Chinese Martial Arts Association Doesn't he fear Sword Saint Situ Lao"
Tang Tianyi said: "Li Tianxing has never done evil in China for the past 10 years. This time, he also challenged according to the rules of martial arts. The Chinese Martial Arts Association naturally couldn't intervene."
He is merely a Xuan-rank warrior, so why would the Sword Saint personally make a move against him.
While the provincial association's president, Bao Donglai, has always wanted to place his disciple in the Jiangnan City Martial Arts Association, he has been repeatedly rejected by Wu Tianxi.
Once you open your mouth and ask for help, not only will you lose face, but you'll also give the other party an opportunity.
Song Tie said: "So what The Jiangnan City Martial Arts Association won't be afraid of him, Li Tianxing. At worst, we die!"
Wutianxi rebuked, "What use is the courage of a mere man Even if you die, what difference will it make It won't help anything in the end!"
Tang Tianyi looked solemnly at Ye Bufan and said, "Ye brother, now there's only one way, and that is to ask you to heal Wulao's injuries. Only then will the Jiangnan City Martial Arts Association have a fighting chance!"
Wu Tianxi and a few others also looked at him, their eyes full of earnestness.
Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "What are you looking at me for Am I such a clueless person"
And since that's already past, even if Old Tang didn't say so much, I would still help President Wu with his illness.
Wu Tianxi immediately stood up from his chair, bowed deeply, and said, "Doctor Ye is truly magnanimous. Wu here thanks you."
“President Wu is a hero of Jiangnan, there’s no need to be so polite.”
Through Tang Tianyi's just-now account, Ye Bufan felt much more fondness for the Jiangnan City Martial Arts Association and Wutianxi.
He took out the silver needles and said, "Now I will treat President Wu's injuries."
Song Aoshuang said, "You say you're not stingy, yet you wouldn't even take out that millennium ginseng to treat my master, only using a few broken needles What good can that do"
Seeing her speak rudely, Wu Tianshi quickly rebuked, "You little brat, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand anything."
Song Aoshuang pouted and whispered, “It was always like that. He hasn't even been willing to take out the millennium ginseng until now.”
Tang Tianyi was afraid that Ye Bufan would be angry, so he quickly said: "Brother Ye, this girl doesn't understand medicine at all, don't mind her."
He didn't get angry, instead he felt a little more fondness for this outspoken little girl.
"Do you think a millennium ginseng can cure your master's illness"
Song Aoshuang said, "Of course, it's already been said online that millennium ginseng can cure all kinds of internal injuries, revive the dead, and restore flesh from bones. There is no illness it cannot cure."
Ye Bufan shook his head. "You really don't understand anything. In Wǔ Huai's condition, if he actually consumed the millennium yang ginseng, it would only worsen his injuries, leaving him crippled for life!" that even the Great Elder of Liuguang Sword Sect would be trapped here.Ye Bufan's brows furrowed, his mind racing as he desperately thought of a way to escape this predicament."Well, it's about time...
