The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 433: Intrigue and deception, capture Li Qiushui

Li Qiushui and Tong Piaoyun (Murong Fu in disguise) tested each other every day, but for two months they had never had a head-on collision. Every time Murong Fu approached, Li Qiushui immediately ran away, and they never even got within a hundred meters.

However, Li Qiu Shui was extremely cautious and never gave her opponent any chance. Therefore, she had never faced the enemy head-on. Naturally, she had not seen the figure that was obviously different from her senior sister Tong Piaoyun. She could only judge the opponent's situation from a distance based on the sound and internal strength.

Lingjiu Palace was heavily guarded by numerous experts, and even Li Qiushui was unwilling to get deeply involved. Moreover, Lingjiu Palace was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and even if Yipintang attacked with all their might, they would only suffer a crushing defeat, and it would be impossible to win. In the end, they had no choice but to test each other from a distance.

The more Li Qiushui tried to probe, the more suspicious she became. There was nothing wrong with the voice of her "senior sister", but her mood was a little off. She seemed to be jealous of her and embarrassed her everywhere. But it would be fine if she only said a few words over and over again. But once she touched on the details of her apprenticeship with the master in the past, she would force him to retreat and never go into depth.

This was only one reason. The second was that it would be fine if she harassed her at night, but if she came at noon, she would be expelled as quickly as possible. This caught her attention, probably because she knew very well that noon was the critical time for practicing the "Eternal Youth Kung Fu". If her senior sister had really regained her youth, she would need to drink blood and practice Kung Fu at noon every day to restore her strength.

Could it be that he was wrong? Senior sister's martial arts skills had not actually recovered. The one who had been confronting him in the past two months was not senior sister, but other top masters. Senior sister was just guiding him and making things difficult for him from behind. In fact, she was constantly recovering her strength. This was the fundamental reason why the other party always drove him away but never pursued him relentlessly.

Thinking of this, Li Qiu Shui couldn't help but feel frightened. If this was true, then her defeat would be somewhat unfair.

Her biggest mistake was her preconceived notion that there was no second top master in Lingjiu Palace. The fundamental reason was that she believed her martial arts skills were slightly inferior to her senior sister Tong Piaoyun and she did not dare to confront her head-on, especially when she was at her side and surrounded by many helpers.

Murong Fu calculated that today was the last day for Tong Lao to regain her youth. After today, she would be successful, her martial arts skills would be restored to their peak, and she wouldn't have to worry about Li Qiushui causing trouble. Even if Li Qiushui discovered her, she wouldn't be able to travel thousands of miles to Gusu to cause trouble for Tong Lao. If she did, it would be hard to say who would be in trouble.

However, Wuyazi was also at Chanhe Villa. With him around, even if Tong Piaoyun and Li Qiushui were to come face to face, Wuyazi would likely be able to defuse the situation with his clever words. Well, at least he wouldn't let them fight to the death in front of him.

Piaomiao Peak's Lingjiu Palace was indeed the treasured site chosen by Xiaoyaozi. Murong Fu's cultivation efficiency had doubled here, and with the "Xiaoyao Yufeng" technique to comprehend, his overall strength had increased by three times more than it would have in three to five years. If he had first arrived at Piaomiao Peak's Lingjiu Palace three months ago, his strength was slightly inferior to Li Qiushui's, but now his overall strength was comparable to Tong Piaoyun's.

In addition to his own practice, Murong Fu also did not forget to train the disciples of Lingjiu Palace. The four sword maids of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum were the first to get the moon because they were close to the water tower, and they gained the most. They got the true teachings of Murong Fu's "Nine Yin Scriptures", and not only did their martial arts improve rapidly, but their foundation became much more solid. Even if they cannot reach the top in the future, there is still hope that they can become top-notch masters. In addition, the four sisters have a telepathic connection with each other, and they can work together to fight the enemy with the Yin-Yang sword technique, and they may be able to compete with the top masters.

Li Qiushui hesitated again and again, but finally made up her mind. After harassing the people at noon, she sneaked into Lingjiu Palace in advance after nightfall. She saw that the hall was brightly lit, and a young and handsome man was sitting on the seat at the top that belonged to her senior sister Tong Piaoyun. The man seemed to have expected her arrival, and was looking at his hiding place in front of him with a smile.

"Since you are here, Junior Sister, why don't you come out and meet me, your Senior Sister?" The young man opened his mouth and spoke in an old female voice, which really scared Li Qiushui who was looking at him.

Murong Fu chuckled and said, "Junior sister, you don't think I'm lying to you, do you? Have you really noticed nothing unusual along the way? For example, the exotic flowers and plants that don't belong in Tianshan, or that spirit rat with a strong sense of smell. Junior sister, you were already exposed before you even entered this hall. Senior sister, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why are you here only now? Don't you know that today is the last day of rejuvenation?"

Li Qiushui's whole body trembled, and she couldn't say a word. She landed in the hall as light as a ghost, staring at Murong Fu as if she had seen a ghost. She thought to herself, could it be that her senior sister really practiced some evil skills, took over the body of this young man, and practiced the "Eternal Youth Skill" in an alternative way?

"You are not Tong Piaoyun, who are you?!" Li Qiushui forced herself to remain calm and glanced at the women from the Nine Heavens and Nine Tribes around her, but found that their expressions remained unchanged, as if they had not heard anything.

There are two possibilities for this reaction. Either this person is originally the senior sister, or although this person is not the senior sister, she is not someone who concealed her identity and usurped a high position, but is the successor arranged by the senior sister long ago.

If it were someone else, she would definitely think that the latter was more likely, but the Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts were unfathomable and even a bit mysterious, so taking over someone else's body was also possible. It was this blind self-confidence that made her judgment somewhat biased and wrong.

"Everything in this world can be faked except martial arts. You will know once you try it, Junior Sister." Murong Fu wanted to tease the masked woman who had caused Wuyazi so much pain. He moved closer in an instant and attacked with a cloud-like move.

She was familiar with the Tianshan Six Yang Palm and knew how powerful it was, but she had many doubts in her heart, so she concentrated her palm power and used it. However, unlike when it came to Murong Fu, she used the White Rainbow Palm power. With one palm strike, the palm power bypassed his body and went straight to Murong Fu's body.

Murong Fu had received instruction from the Child-Fairy of Tianshan and knew how to break the White Rainbow Palm Power. However, although he knew it, this was the first time he had actually encountered it. However, with the help of "Xiao Yao Yu Feng", he had a good understanding of the White Rainbow Palm Power. He changed the Tianshan Six Yang Palm to the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, and with a left and right stroke, he broke the palm power. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Li Qiu Shui and fought with her.

The battle between two top masters was naturally extraordinary. The other disciples of Lingjiu Palace retreated, but were unwilling to miss the opportunity and tried hard to see clearly. However, the two were extremely fast. They only saw one move before the next three, five, or even seven or eight moves had already passed.

Li Qiushui became more and more frightened as the man displayed Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts, and he was already extraordinary and definitely not inferior to himself. His internal strength was quite strong, and he was unable to gain the upper hand in the clash with him. There were also vague signs that he was being restrained, as if all his martial arts moves were within his expectations.

This person is not Senior Sister Tong Piaoyun!

The person who knows you best may not be your friend, but may also be your enemy. The person who knows Tianshan Tonglao best in the world is not the disciples of Lingjiu Palace, nor the masters of the seventy-two islands, the masters of the thirty-six caves, or even Wuyazi, but Li Qiushui.

Although Murong Fu tried his best to imitate Tong Piaoyun, and tried to be as close to her as possible in terms of martial arts and voice, fake is still fake. The two fought for more than a hundred rounds without a clear winner. Although Li Qiushui gradually fell into a disadvantage, she could finally confirm that this person was definitely not her senior sister Tong Piaoyun, but his martial arts skills were not inferior to hers.

Li Qiushui couldn't accept the strange fact that there were fakes in this world that were not inferior to the real ones for a while. He felt guilty and was greatly affected, and was even at a disadvantage in the battle.

After three hundred moves, Li Qiushui knew that she had no chance of winning today, and she said sternly: "Boy, you are not my short senior sister, who are you?" She suddenly turned her eyes and saw the seven-treasure ring on Murong Fu's hand. She was stunned and froze.

Murong Fu never thought that in the duel between two top masters, his opponent would be distracted in the middle of the battle. He slapped her on the chest with one palm. Li Qiu Shui rolled over and flew backwards, and hit the stone wall of the hall with a bang, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

But she didn't care, her clothes disheveled and her face towel soaked with blood, she staggered to Murong Fu and shouted, "Who are you? Why is this Seven Treasures Ring in your hands? Brother, Brother, he is now, now..."

Murong Fu chuckled and said coldly, "Thirty years ago, you teamed up with the traitor Ding Chunqiu to drive Senior Wuyazi off the cliff. Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"I'm so young, yet I possess such prowess, possessing so many peerless martial arts skills. Have you ever wondered where all this came from? And my presence at Piaomiao Peak's Lingjiu Palace at this crucial moment, what does it signify? Do you truly not understand?" Murong Fu's nonsense struck Li Qiushui so hard that she turned pale. She stumbled back two steps, muttering to herself, "Yes, yes, Senior Brother loves me the most, but as deep as love comes hatred."

"He hated me for seducing Ding Chunqiu and harming him, but he has no idea how miserable I've been for the past few decades. You're so young, and even if you've learned the Beiming Divine Art, you shouldn't have such profound internal strength. It must be because you've acquired his Beiming True Qi. He couldn't have escaped unscathed after falling off the cliff, and if he had passed on his martial arts to you, he would have lost his power and died. He refused to forgive me until his death, and sent you to Lingjiu Palace to protect Senior Sister, constantly giving me trouble. Yes, that must have been the case."

"Brother, now that you're gone, what's the point of me staying in this world!" Li Qiushui slapped her chest with her palm and collapsed to the ground, muttering to herself, "Brother, I'm here to accompany you. If there's an afterlife, I'll definitely live with you forever. Sister, oh sister, if you can't beat me in this life, I'll be the winner in the next, hahahaha~"

Li Qiushui spat out a mouthful of blood and died. Two disciples from Lingjiu Palace stepped forward to check on her, but they found that she had no breath and no heartbeat. Murong Fu couldn't help but shake his head slightly, thinking of how she faked her death with the "Turtle Breathing Technique" in the original novel. He never thought that she would actually perform it in front of him today.

Li Qiushui would be a lovesick person. I thought Wuyazi committed suicide for love?

Haha, do you believe such nonsense? If that were the case, she wouldn't have thrown Wuyazi off the cliff and left him there. Murong Fu sighed and walked over to her. He casually fixed the acupoints on her body and temporarily banned her martial arts. Then he ordered her to be taken away for proper treatment.

"Things between elders should be resolved by the elders themselves. It's not appropriate for me, a junior, to interfere."

Li Qiushui was captured, the Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak was reorganized, the Yipintang suffered heavy damage, and the seventy-two island masters and thirty-six cave masters were basically up and down. Now that the matter is over, intelligence has come that his father has completely conquered Goryeo and entered the digestion stage. The next focus will be the Liao Kingdom. Once Yelu Chongyuan rebels, he can take advantage of the situation and launch an attack.
