Martial Arts: The Secret Villain Starting from Huashan

There was a mixture of scrutiny, appreciation and a hint of subtle fear in Duan Yanqing's eyes when he looked at Xu Xingchen. Duan Yanqing knew very well that a master who could train a young master like Xu Xingchen was definitely not an ordinary person.

Perhaps, this mysterious master is the key person hiding in the dark, silently controlling all of this.

Seeing Duan Yanqing's zombie-like eyes revealing some doubt and vigilance, Xu Xingchen walked up to him without fear. His eyes were firm and deep, as if he could see through people's hearts, and he spoke coldly.

"Duan Yanqing, do you still remember the famous Master Wuhen?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up waves. Upon hearing these words, Duan Yanqing's zombie-like face suddenly changed, and the pupils in his deep eye sockets suddenly shrank.

As if being tightly grasped by an invisible force, these words, to Duan Yanqing, are more than just a title. They represent a past that he cannot bear to look back on and an unforgettable failure.

"【Master Wuhen】!!"

Duan Yanqing muttered to himself.

The unique ventriloquism produced a low and hoarse voice, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the abdomen. The scene at the foot of Mount Zhongnan emerged involuntarily in his mind.

At that time, in the vast world of martial arts, Quanzhen Sect, with its profound martial arts background and lofty status, was known as the "Orthodox Martial Arts Sect in the World". Its reputation spread throughout the world, making countless people in the world feel awe.

However, this tranquility and dignity began to be shaken by a sudden storm.

The [Deadly Swordsman] Yan Shisan, a master known for his sharp swordsmanship and ruthless attacks, was like a ghost in the dark night. He quietly set off a huge wave in the territory of Quanzhen Sect.

This caused this holy land of martial arts in the world to fall into unprecedented chaos and panic.

Their side, the [Four Evils], went wild at the foot of Mount Zhongnan, while searching for the notorious [Deadly Swordsman] Yan Shisan, hoping to have him join their [Four Evils].

Unexpectedly, they met the mysterious and highly skilled "Young Master Wuhen" Xu Changqing. The "Four Evil Men" on their side were defeated by him alone, and finally had to flee in embarrassment, leaving behind endless shame and resentment.

Could it be that the young man in front of him was the disciple of Xu Changqing, the "Master Wuhen"? This thought flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning, shocking and fearful Duan Yanqing.

"Boy, so you are actually the disciple of [Master Wuhen] Xu Changqing?!"

Duan Yanqing's voice came through his unique [ventriloquism], with an unquestionable majesty and coldness. His eyes were like icy blades, piercing Xu Xingchen's heart.

Faced with Duan Yanqing's sudden reasoning, Xu Xingchen curled up a playful smile, secretly admiring the other party's meticulous thinking, but there are times when he is just one step behind.

So, Xu Xingchen continued to weave his lies and play tricks without saying a word.

"Of course I am not a disciple of [Master Wuhen] Xu Changqing, but I was fortunate enough to have received a few moves and half of a style of martial arts from [Master Wuhen] Xu Changqing. Moreover, after a deep conversation, we found that we have similar personalities, and I became brothers with him."

There was some sincerity and some teasing in Xu Xingchen's words. It was impossible for Xu Xingchen to be so foolish as to admit that [Mr. Wuhen] Xu Changqing was himself in disguise.

Once such a secret was leaked, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, he cleverly used the vague area in his words to avoid direct denial while not fully confirming that he was Xu Changqing's disciple.

Instead, it leads the topic to a more subtle "brother" relationship, making it difficult to grasp its true intentions.

When Duan Yanqing heard this, a trace of doubt and deep thought flashed in his eyes. It was obvious that he was not completely convinced by Xu Xingchen's answer, but he also understood that based on the current clues, it was far from enough to completely uncover the other party's true face.

From the very beginning, Gongsun Zhi was keenly aware of the unspeakable tension between Duan Yanqing and Xu Xingchen. The eye contact between the two seemed to have an undercurrent, and a fierce conflict could break out at any time.

He thought to himself that if the two masters Duan Yanqing and Xu Xingchen really started fighting, it would be a thrilling showdown, and he might be able to find a chance to escape from the cage of the Jueqing Valley.

Immediately afterwards, the development of the situation was beyond Gongsun Zhi's expectations but seemed to be exactly what he wanted. Xu Xingchen's figure was as fast as lightning and his moves were extraordinary. In the blink of an eye, he killed two capable generals under Duan Yanqing.

Yue Laosan and Yun Zhonghe were knocked to the ground, both of them were seriously injured and could not fight again for a while. This scene was undoubtedly a godsend for Gongsun Zhi at the moment.

At this time, looking at his third brother Yue Lao San and fourth brother Yun Zhonghe, who were once so majestic but now in such a miserable state, Duan Yanqing's face was terribly gloomy, and the flame of revenge flashed in his eyes.

Gongsun Zhi knew very well that Duan Yanqing was in a state of mixed anger and unwillingness at this moment, and it was a good opportunity to take advantage of him. Therefore, he began to think about how to use this hatred and guide Duan Yanqing to help him escape from here.

"Humph, Duan Yanqing, you were a tyrant in the martial arts world in the past, doing all kinds of evil things. Although you gave yourself the name "Full of Evil", it can't hide the blood on your hands and the wailing of countless innocent souls."

"Today, you are like a lost dog, in such a miserable state. It is really retribution, and it makes people sigh."

Gongsun Zhi sneered and deliberately provoked Duan Yanqing in front of him.

There was a hint of gloating in his words and he deliberately raised his voice a few degrees, as if he was appreciating a carefully choreographed drama and he himself was the one who was laughing at him.

"It seems that your title of the Four Evils is just a facade, just a name in vain. Think of Xu Changqing, known as the Master Wuhen in the martial arts world. He has extraordinary martial arts skills and is very elegant."

"Even if he casually taught a few tricks to his sworn brother, he could still make you, the so-called Four Evils, helpless and humiliated. In this case, wouldn't your name of the Four Evils become a joke?"

Every word Gongsun Zhi said was like a sharp blade, accurately piercing Duan Yanqing's pain points.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire space seemed to be filled with an invisible force. It was the tremendous rage that Duan Yanqing released after being completely enraged. His eyes instantly became as hot as torches.

His eyes were fixed tightly on Xu Xingchen, with flames dancing in them, revealing a ruthlessness and determination as if he wanted to devour the other person alive. The air around him became heavy and depressing.

At this time, Xu Xingchen's eyes were fixed on Gongsun Zhi and Duan Yanqing. He noticed that Gongsun Zhi's words and actions revealed a deliberate provocation and anger.

This unusual atmosphere made Xu Xingchen frown slightly. Countless possibilities and speculations flashed through his mind quickly, trying to decipher the deeper meaning behind this confrontation.

In order to deal with possible emergencies, Xu Xingchen took action without hesitation.

With a slight wave of his right hand, the internal Qi surged, and he instantly performed the Shaolin [Dragon Capturing Technique]. An invisible force emanated from his palm, and like a dragon emerging from the sea, it quickly and accurately locked onto the Hanming Sword that was deeply embedded in the ground not far away.

Under the powerful suction of [Dragon Capturing Technique], the Hanming Sword slowly broke free from the restraints of the ground, turned into a silver stream of light, and rushed straight into Xu Xingchen's palm in an instant.

The moment the Hanming Sword fell steadily into Xu Xingchen's palm, the temperature around him seemed to drop a few degrees.

But Xu Xingchen remained calm, his eyes became more determined. He knew that he must always stay vigilant and sober, because in this world, any negligence could lead to irreparable consequences.

Gongsun Zhi's lips curled up in a sneer, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes. He knew very well that his words just now had successfully aroused the anger in Duan Yanqing's heart, and this anger was exactly the bargaining chip he could use.

So he deliberately slowed down his speech so that every word could be clearly heard by Duan Yanqing.

"Brother Duan."

Gongsun Zhi's voice was deep and long, and his eyes were shining with wisdom and cunning.
