Chapter 8: Mysterious Water Skills

Since Gu Mingchuan traveled through time, he has never really fought with others. When he was in Chunhui Hall, they did have sparring sessions, but they were not life-and-death fights.

To say I wasn't nervous would be a lie.

Out of caution, he kept observing from the side, and his first impression was that it was too weak.

In his eyes, there were flaws everywhere.

He was so weak that he couldn't help but wonder if the other party was hiding his abilities.

Until, seeing that Lao Ji was about to die on the spot, he finally drew his knife and cut the opponent's throat with one stroke, and blood splattered on the spot.

It turns out he wasn't pretending, he was really weak!
Gu Mingchuan deliberately avoided looking at the still twitching body on the ground. He patted Lao Ji on the shoulder and said, "Lao Ji, you are the first person I have ever met who is willing to risk his life for me. If you were a woman, I would marry you."

Old Ji was still staring at him blankly, without any reaction, as if he hadn't heard what he said at all.

The stunning knife move just now was deeply engraved in his mind.

He couldn't believe that the knife was wielded by Gu Mingchuan.

Isn’t it said that the second young master has mediocre qualifications?
Isn't he only at the third level of true Qi?

……

"what?"

At this time, Pang Kun realized something was wrong and rushed over. Seeing the body on the ground, he let out a surprised cry and instantly locked his eyes on Gu Mingchuan, with a murderous light flashing in his eyes, "Did you kill him?"

Gu Mingchuan glanced around and saw that not far away, the Zhou siblings, Gu Zhi and Gu Shen all had knives at their necks.

In just a short while, they were captured alive.

Pang Kun’s strength is indeed not weak.

He said, "Master Pang, congratulations on capturing the Zhou siblings. This is a great achievement. I have no intention of becoming an enemy of the Qinglong Gang. How about we just say goodbye now?"

Anyway, the oath he made at the beginning was to help the Gu family only when they were in danger. It was not like he had to rescue the Gu family members when they were in danger.

What does the life and death of the Zhou siblings, Gu Zhi and Gu Shen have to do with him?
"stop."

Pang Kun had no intention of letting him go, and said in a sinister voice, "You killed my people and you still want to leave like this? You can leave, but you have to leave one hand behind."

Gu Mingchuan frowned and said, "You guys in the martial arts world, are you crazy? It would be better if you could just take a step back and live in peace. Why do you have to make things more complicated? I just don't want to cause trouble, so you think I'm weak and can be bullied? I want to leave now, and you can't stop me."

Pang Kun sneered, "You can try."

At this time, the third young lady of the Zhou family heard some clues from the conversation between the two.

Pang Kun was slow to make a move, as if he was a little afraid of the young man. Perhaps...

She seemed to have grasped the last straw and shouted, "Young man, if you can save our lives, I will give you the family's unique skill "Xuanshui Zhengong".

Gu Mingchuan grabbed Lao Ji's arm with one hand and was about to leave, but when he heard these words, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Miss Zhou San.

"Xuan Shui Zhengong" is a technique that can lead directly to the Shenzang realm.

His "Hun Yuan Gong" can only be cultivated to the ninth level of true Qi, and he is worried about where to find an advanced technique.

In the Gu family, there is also a divine skill of the hidden level, called "Xiantian Wuji Gong", and only the head of the family is qualified to practice it.

Moreover, the last time a strong man in the Shenzang realm appeared in the Gu family was more than a hundred years ago.

There are rumors that the Gu family's "Xiantian Wuji Gong" has been lost, so no one has been able to break through to the Shenzang realm for more than a hundred years.

Gu Mingchuan couldn't help but be moved and asked, "Are you serious?"

Miss Wednesday said quickly, "That's absolutely true."

"it is good."

Gu Mingchuan let go of Lao Ji's arm, looked at Pang Kun with some regret, and said, "It seems that today can't end peacefully."

……

Pang Kun sneered. At first, he was indeed a little afraid of this young man.

With his eyesight, he knew the killer had a very high level of swordsmanship when he saw the wound on his man's throat. This boy's cultivation level was probably at the seventh level of true qi.

However, after the conversation just now, he no longer took this boy seriously.

In a life-and-death struggle between warriors, a spirit of bravery plays a key role.

As the saying goes, when two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins.

This kid always gives in, is timid before the fight, and has no confidence at all. Even if one's cultivation is equal to his and his swordsmanship is good, he is definitely not his opponent.

"you--"

Clang!
The young man had already drawn his sword.

The next second, an indescribable blade light rushed towards him.

What a quick knife!

Pang Kun was startled, and swung the sword in his hand. With the surge of true energy, the sword in his hand became extremely light and agile, and it was impenetrable.

"This kid is so young, his energy is definitely not as good as mine. If I force him to fight hard—"

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw the knife pause slightly, causing his sword to miss, and then it went straight in.

At this point, it was too late for him to change his tactics and he could only watch the knife stab into his chest.

Phew!

Pang Kun’s eyes were wide open with anger, and he opened his mouth, but could only spit out a mouthful of blood foam, and his body fell down weakly.

Do not look down.

Until his death he couldn't understand why this young man, who had such great swordsmanship, was so cowardly?
Isn't this deceiving?
……

"That's really filthy."

Gu Mingchuan could tell from Pang Kun's lip movements that this guy was cursing.

He drew back the knife, and rushed forward. In a moment, he killed all four of Pang Kun's men.

The scene was dead silent. Old Ji looked dazed.

The Zhou siblings were shocked.

The other two people with the surname Gu looked incredulous.

Gu Mingchuan coughed lightly and said to Gu Zhi, "Shopkeeper, I saved your life today, right?"

Gu Zhi finally came to his senses and immediately knelt down and said, "I will always remember your life-saving grace..."

"I don't need you to repay me, just promise me not to tell anyone about what happened today."

"Gu Zhi must keep his mouth shut."

"very good."

Gu Mingchuan turned to look at Gu Shen, "What about you?"

Gu Shen moved his mouth twice, but finally nodded, "I will never reveal a word about what happened today."

"Okay, you can go."

……

After Gu Mingchuan sent the two Gu family members away, he looked at the Zhou siblings and said, "Now, it's time to fulfill your promise."

Next to him, Lao Ji wisely left the place and went outside to keep watch.

The Zhou siblings looked at him with some fear. He was able to kill Pang Kun with a single blow. With such strength and at such a young age, they really couldn't think of anyone in the entire Minglong Mansion who could do it.

This is a more terrifying character than Pang Kun.

At this moment, the life and death of the siblings depended on this person's thoughts.

Miss Zhou San turned around, took out a booklet from her private area and handed it over.

After Gu Mingchuan took it, he felt her body temperature on it and couldn't help but take a look at her. He had to say, this girl was really beautiful.

Eyes are eyes and nose is nose.

The title of the most beautiful woman in Minglong Mansion is well deserved.

He took a look, then lowered his head to look at the secret book in his hand, and said, "You wait here, and I will let you go after I confirm everything is correct."

……

This secret book is quite thick, with more than 200 pages, and is written in classical Chinese. If you have a lower level of education, you will not be able to understand it at all.

Gu Mingchuan had a hard time reading. In Chunhui Hall, in addition to martial arts, cultural studies were also a focus. He had worked hard and could probably understand it.

He spent more than two hours reading the secret book twice.

Finally, on the panel, the column of skills has a new item [Not yet started with Xuanshui Zhengong (0/10+)]

"As I expected, learning martial arts will be much easier from now on."

Gu Mingchuan closed the secret book, threw it over, and said, "You can go now."

After hearing what he said, the Zhou siblings took the secret book and left immediately, as if they were afraid that he would go back on his word.

He shook his head and said to himself, "I saved your lives, but you didn't even say thank you. How rude."

……

However, the Zhou siblings ran all the way until dawn, and they only stopped when they had run a long way.

The younger brother said with lingering fear, "Who is that man? He was able to kill Pang Kun with one sword."

My sister said, "Uncle Gu seems to recognize him. He might be from the Gu family."

"When did the Gu family produce such a young master? I think Gu Mingyi and Gu Minglan are far inferior to him."

"Maybe he is a genius secretly cultivated by the Gu family."

After a while, the younger brother said, "Fortunately, you, Third Sister, were smart and gave him the original copy of "Xuan Shui Zhengong". You fooled him."

Miss Zhou San touched her lower abdomen, where a book several times thicker was tied. It was the book in which the ancestors of the Zhou family wrote down their notes and insights after studying "Xuan Shui Zhengong".

The original "Xuan Shui Zhengong" was too difficult to understand. The Zhou family used it for several generations. Finally, it was the great-grandfather who was in the Shenzang realm who translated and compiled it so that future generations could also practice this technique.

On it, there is also the experience of my great-grandfather breaking through to the Shenzang realm, which is extremely precious.

The reason why Zheng Xianlong deliberately planned to destroy the Zhou family was for this reason.

This must not be spread outside.

She stood up and said, "Let's go. Once Pang Kun dies, the Qinglong Gang will probably notice it soon. Then, maybe the old thief Zheng will come after us personally."

The brother and sister continued to flee.

……

Gu Mingchuan began to touch the corpse.

This was his first time killing someone and also his first time touching a corpse.

There is always a first time for everything.

On the day he crossed over, he had already prepared himself mentally. He endured the discomfort and finally earned several hundred taels of silver, mostly banknotes and some small change.

He handed over the next step of destroying the body to Lao Ji, then patted his butt and went back to the inn to sleep.

As for the night watch.

What night are you keeping?

The greatest danger has been averted.

Besides, from now on, he has the final say in the caravan. How dare Gu Shen say a word to him?
He practiced hard just to become a superior person and enjoy privileges.

As soon as Gu Mingchuan returned to the inn, he saw a man standing at the door. It was Gu Shen, who seemed to have been waiting for him.

He glanced over and saw Gu Shen, who was standing in the shadows, subconsciously lowered his head and bowed. Then, he asked a question, "I heard that you chose to become an ascetic monk?"
