Chapter 46 Grandmaster, I’m sorry

My worries are not unfounded. Along the way, I noticed that my master’s face was a little pale. After all, he had injured his essence and needed precious medicinal herbs to slowly replenish his energy and recuperate for a period of time. How could my master fight such a series of battles?

Wei Yi over there was very arrogant. As soon as he came out, he directly named the three Taoist people who followed my master, making the three of them look very bad. It was an insult to fight one against three.

Wei Er looked very disappointed. There were only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals left. The exhausted Master Hui was not even good enough to look at in his eyes. Although Master Hui was a wretched old man, he was also a proud man. How could he stand Wei Er’s gaze? He immediately pinched the pill and stood up, shouting, “Where did you come from, hammer? You don’t pick people, so I’ll fight you!”

Master Hui is just so cute. He’s a monk who often gets angry and yells at people when he’s unhappy. I have just as much affection for Master Hui as I do for my master. It’s because of this that I couldn’t bear to see him swallow the pill like that. You have to know that there’s a big battle coming up, and the pill has side effects!

Looking at my master’s pale face and the pill in Master Hui’s hand, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I stood up suddenly and shouted, “Wu Liyu, do you dare to fight me?”

When I shouted, the whole cave fell silent. How could a junior like me dare to fight with Wu Liyu?

“Third brother…” behind me, I heard the voice of Ruoyue. Along the way, she had been quiet, very different from the lively girl she was back then. But now, she couldn’t help but call out to me, her voice trembling.

The next moment, Ru Yue stood next to me, staring straight at Wu Liyu, and said calmly, “You are also an old generation, you wouldn’t be afraid of losing to a younger generation and not dare to accept this battle, would you? But after all, San Ge is just a junior, how about adding me?”

I looked at Ru Yue and felt an indescribable emotion in my heart, but it was only an emotion. I pulled Ru Yue behind me and said, “Ru Yue, you just stand behind me and don’t move. The battle between Taoists will be settled by Taoists. You believe I can win.”

It was rare that my master did not say anything to stop me, but instead looked at me with a relieved expression. I responded to my master with an unusually firm gaze. For a long time, I always stood behind my master, watching him use his back to support me and his feet to open up a path for me.

Master is old and I am grown up. This time, it is my turn to step forward. This is definitely not an impulse!

After looking at Master, I said to Wu Liyu, “Are you afraid?”

Wu Liyu looked at me with a complex look in his eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, “I don’t want to take advantage of you.”

“Since you don’t want to take advantage of me, you fight me alone. The rest of us won’t fight, and neither will your people. Is that good enough for you?” I said loudly.

Wu Liyu raised his eyebrows and said, “Why does it sound like you’re taking advantage of me?”

“What advantage have I taken from you? You said you would fight for the old monster. Whoever you fight is the same. Besides, I am not a man of strong character. When there is a fight next to me, I will always be distracted and affected, so what is there to talk about a fair fight?” I said this on purpose to remind Wu Liyu to just do it. Taoists are most afraid of a void in their state of mind. If Wu Liyu fails to defeat the old monster, his state of mind will definitely be affected. But as I said, he has fulfilled his promise.

Wu Liyu’s eyes flashed, and it took a long time before he said, “You little brat, you’re pretty cunning. It’s just a battle of wits, and there’s bound to be some damage. You’re the only successor to your lineage, the Shan lineage. Can your master agree to this?”

This Wu Liyu is so ruthless. He is going to use heavy-handed tactics against me. There is no way to test the recruitment. Then he will be killed in the growth stage. Anyway, our lineage is an enemy, not a friend. Wouldn’t it be better for our lineage to break the most important mountain lineage?

But he is hypocritical, and he wants to kill me in the name of the martial arts, so as not to be known as a bully of the younger generation, and to shut my master up with his words.

My master looked at me and asked, “Are you afraid?”

I looked at my master and said, “If I can win, what do I have to be afraid of?”

“Good!” My master roared in appreciation, then took something out of his bag and threw it to me, saying, “Master thinks you can win too!”

When I took a look at the object, it was my master’s whisk! It was a treasure passed down from the master, and it was extraordinary. Holding this object, I was even more confident.

Wu Liyu saw this and said, “Since Brother Li-chun has agreed, I will fight your apprentice. But I have to remind you that although the Zhongmao technique can invite Uncle Li, his skills are not good at all, and your apprentice does not have enough power to support Uncle Li’s extraordinary skills! I hope you will not interfere. Wei Yi and Wei Er will protect me.”

Isn’t that a reminder that the two Wei figures will intervene?

It would be idiotic not to take advantage of the situation. While Wu Liyu was talking nonsense, I casually inserted the whisk that my master had given me into my waist, stepped on the foot pattern, and began to use the Zhongmao technique. I learned this technique from Lin Chen.

I guess Wu Liyu still had a lot of nonsense to say, but when he saw that I had already begun to cast the spell, he finally quieted down.

Stepping in the closed space is a completely different concept from stepping in the open space, because the sensing and induction of the power of the stars will be much weaker. I must be fully concentrated in the process.

So I closed my eyes, concentrated my mind, and could no longer be disturbed by the slightest external interference. Of course, I had no idea what Wu Liyu was going to do!

The process of walking the path, chanting the incantation, using the hand gestures, sensing the energy, was not going smoothly for me. Or as Uncle Chen said, I have almost the same fate as my master, and I am especially susceptible to sensing and integrating his power.

But at that moment, a loud roar exploded in my head: “You will lose!”

It was Wu Liyu’s voice. This was my first thought. In the next moment, the power I had sensed suddenly disappeared because I was distracted by the roar.

The Taoist’s state of mind of blocking out all distractions and casting spells is a fundamental practice that is learned before learning the spells. But Wu Liyu used some method that I don’t know to make his voice appear in my mind. I guess it’s also a kind of Taoist roar, and he is not weaker than my master.

I was annoyed. This person said he didn’t care if I invited the Grand Master, because he was not as good as me. In fact, this old fox never intended to let me successfully use my Zhongmao technique.

This also makes one sigh with emotion at his extensive experience in fighting magic, directly nipping the threat in the bud, preventing me from using the killer move that would allow me to defy the heavens.

I took a deep breath, tried to calm my mind, and once again concentrated on sensing the power of my master.

However, Wu Liyu would not let me succeed. Over and over again, he shouted, “You will lose, you will lose…” and it exploded in my head!

My brain felt as if someone had really stuffed something into it, it was swollen and dizzy, and my stomach was starting to spasm. I couldn’t suppress the feeling of wanting to vomit, which was the most direct manifestation of brain shock.

But I couldn’t let Master and Uncle Hui take any more risks. This was my deepest belief. How could I lose to Wu Liyu after just one exchange?

Unable to block the direct impact on my brain, I simply bit my tongue hard, using the intense pain to force myself to wake up and interrupt the use of my own magic.

The moment I opened my eyes, I saw my master’s slightly worried expression. After all, it was a fair fight, and he couldn’t say anything to warn me!

Disturbing the mind? Although I cannot suppress my power to block your interference, I can use external objects! Thinking of this, I took out an agarwood bead from my pocket, looked at it with some pain, then took out a knife and cut the bead into several pieces.

The Master’s eyes also flashed with a hint of pain. He understood what I was going to do!

I felt a little sad. When I went to lure the vengeful spirit out, I tore off my own agarwood bead again, swallowed one in my mouth, and apologized to my master. I don’t remember how many times I’ve torn off the things you left behind, but this time I’m going to destroy it directly.

The next moment, I took out my lighter and lit the pieces of agarwood with a pained expression…

Grandmaster, I’m sorry, I had no choice!
