189: Chapter 69 King against King, General against General

Seeing that Medicine Master Huang intended to offset Mei Chaofeng's matter with Lu Chengfeng's, Meng Li thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Very well."

He didn't like trouble to begin with, so it was naturally best if things could be resolved peacefully.

As for the possibility that the two weren't equal, Meng Li didn't care.

Because even if Medicine Master Huang said so, Lu Chengfeng and his son wouldn't dare to neglect him because of it.

With that settled, Medicine Master Huang turned to look at Guo Jing and asked with a cold face, "Was it you who killed Xuanfeng?"

Guo Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "That was an accident, but he did indeed die by my hand."

Medicine Master Huang nodded slightly. "Good, you take responsibility for your actions."

Hearing this, Guo Jing felt a surge of joy, but before he could even be happy, Medicine Master Huang's next words chilled him to the core.

"Then pay with your life!"

As he spoke, Medicine Master Huang flicked his finger, and a sharp burst of Qi shot straight toward Guo Jing's throat.

Guo Jing's pupils constricted, but he had no time to dodge or defend, so he could only instinctively close his eyes and wait for death.

The Jiangnan Six Monsters, Huang Rong, and Mu Nianci all changed expression simultaneously.

At the critical moment, another burst of Qi arrived later but struck first, neutralizing Medicine Master Huang's Finger Flickering Technique.

Medicine Master Huang turned to look at Meng Li, his face showing displeasure. "Why did you intervene to save him?"

Meng Li said without hesitation, "He regards me as an older brother; I cannot stand by and watch him die."

Huang Rong snapped out of it then, hurriedly blocking the way in front of Medicine Master Huang and saying angrily, "Father, why did you attack Brother Jing?"

Medicine Master Huang said with a cold face, "He killed Xuanfeng."

"That was an accident, and Senior Brother Chen was trying to kill him at the time." Huang Rong didn't back down at all, then grabbed Medicine Master Huang's clothes and shook him, saying, "Father, I won't allow you to hurt Brother Jing! I won't allow it, I won't!"

If it had been anyone else doing this, Medicine Master Huang would have struck them with a palm long ago.

But it was Huang Rong who was causing the scene, and he couldn't bring himself to do it. He could only grab her hands and say helplessly, "Ronger, stop messing around."

But Huang Rong was relentless.

Medicine Master Huang had no choice but to change his tune. "Alright, alright, alright, I won't hit him anymore."

Only then did Huang Rong stop.

Immediately after, Medicine Master Huang's words were shocking: "Tell him to hit me."

Huang Rong was a bit dazed.

The Jiangnan Six Monsters, Mei Chaofeng, and the others showed looks of surprise.

Guo Jing cried out in even greater surprise, "What?"

Meng Li, however, vaguely understood that Medicine Master Huang was likely planning to use a trick, just like in the original story.

Medicine Master Huang pushed Huang Rong aside and said to Guo Jing, "If I tell you to attack, then attack. Don't dawdle."

Seeing this, Han Baoju immediately chimed in, "Jinger, just attack! Show this Old Monster what's what!"

"But..." Guo Jing was somewhat hesitant.

Medicine Master Huang's face darkened. "Strike!"

Guo Jing gritted his teeth and circulated his power on the spot to unleash a move of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but he held back his strength.

The Dragon-shaped Qi hit Medicine Master Huang with a low hum, but it didn't injure him at all, not even causing a ripple.

"Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?" Medicine Master Huang was surprised, then asked Guo Jing, "Who is Hong Qi to you?"

Guo Jing glanced at Huang Rong and spoke truthfully, "Seventh Duke ate Ronger's cooking, so he taught me the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Jiangnan Six Monsters were greatly surprised.

The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was the Northern Beggar's famous ultimate technique. For Guo Jing to be able to learn it was truly a great Opportunity.

Thinking of this, their perception of Huang Rong quietly underwent a slight change.

Medicine Master Huang was equally surprised, but more than that, he felt a twinge of jealousy.

Even as her father, he hadn't eaten much of Huang Rong's cooking because he couldn't bear to let her work in the kitchen often.

Now, the daughter he held in the palm of his hand was actually cooking for Hong Qi because of this silly boy in front of him?

At that thought, Medicine Master Huang's expression became even colder. "Kid, are you underestimating me? Strike with all your might!"

"Oh." Guo Jing agreed and stopped holding back, striking out directly with a palm at full strength.

A resonant roar sounded as the Dragon-shaped True Qi reappeared. Its size and momentum were much stronger than before as it crashed fiercely toward Medicine Master Huang.

Seeing this, Medicine Master Huang mobilized his True Qi to defend. With a jolt of his body, he actually sent the Dragon-shaped True Qi that had struck him right back the way it came.

Meng Li's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't intervene.

Without the Opportunity of the Medicinal Snake's precious blood, Guo Jing's current cultivation was much weaker than in the original drama. This palm strike couldn't kill anyone, and its recoil would at most make him cough up some blood.

Sure enough, Guo Jing never expected his own palm strike to be reflected. Caught off guard, he took the full hit, but he only spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Zhu Cong couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "As expected of a top-tier expert!"

The strength Guo Jing displayed in that palm strike just now had already surpassed the Jiangnan Six Monsters, yet Medicine Master Huang hadn't even moved a hand, using the attacker's own strength to make Guo Jing cough up blood.

Hearing this, Medicine Master Huang curled his lip. "Making a fuss over nothing."

In the next instant, he directly struck out with a Luoying Divine Sword Palm toward the injured Guo Jing.

Everyone present except for Meng Li was shocked, clearly not expecting Medicine Master Huang to go back on his word.

Meng Li flicked his sleeve, neutralizing the Luoying Divine Sword Palm with a Heart Shattering Palm.

Medicine Master Huang's face darkened.

But before he could speak, the fearful Huang Rong blocked him, her pretty face filled with anger. "Stupid Daddy, rotten Daddy, you broke your word again! I hate you!"

Medicine Master Huang frowned, flicking his sleeve to push her away with True Qi, preparing to strike again.

Meng Li took a step forward, shielding Guo Jing.

Medicine Master Huang's expression was somewhat unsightly.

Huang Rong couldn't stop him, but Meng Li could.

However, he wasn't alone here either.

At that thought, Medicine Master Huang spoke, "Chaofeng, Chengfeng."

Mei Chaofeng immediately stepped forward. "Master."

A flash of hesitation crossed Lu Chengfeng's eyes, but his movements were not slow.

Seeing this, the Jiangnan Six Monsters and Mu Nianci stepped forward one after another.

Medicine Master Huang glanced around and directly attacked Meng Li.

Meng Li was completely unafraid.

After the two clashed, they tacitly shifted their fight to a distance.

Immediately after, Mei Chaofeng charged at Guo Jing, clashing with the Jiangnan Six Monsters who moved to intercept her.

Lu Chengfeng wanted to take Lu Guanying to help, but he was blocked by Huang Rong.

"Junior Sister." Lu Chengfeng immediately felt conflicted.

In terms of Martial Arts, he was superior to Huang Rong, but it wasn't right for him to attack her.

After all, Medicine Master Huang's love for his precious daughter was obvious to everyone. Huang Rong had also just spoken well of him to Medicine Master Huang, allowing him to return to the sect and even be permitted to teach Lu Guanying Peach Blossom Island Martial Arts.

Huang Rong knew this and immediately smiled, "Senior Brother Lu, how about you and your son stay still with me and wait for the results from my father and Senior Sister Mei's side?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded helplessly, but he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

In all fairness, he didn't want to attack Guo Jing either.

Although Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng were from the same sect as him, they had caused him and the other disciples great harm.

The two sides had long since turned against each other.

If it hadn't been for Medicine Master Huang's presence, he would have turned around and joined Guo Jing and the others to eliminate Mei Chaofeng, who had come for revenge.

Although things had taken a turn, the lingering resentment was hard to dispel.

Staying neutral was just right for Lu Chengfeng.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Huang Rong immediately ran to Guo Jing's side to check his injuries, taking out her Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill to give to him.

On the other side, Mei Chaofeng and the Jiangnan Six Monsters hated each other intensely, so they held nothing back.

Consequently, the Jiangnan Six Monsters quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Their strength was already inferior to Mei Chaofeng, who had mastered the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

Later, after receiving guidance from Meng Li, Mei Chaofeng's practice returned to the correct path. She had dedicated herself to switching to Daoist Internal Skill, making the power of her Nine Yin White Bone Claw even greater.

Within just a few rounds, the Jiangnan Six Monsters were in a perilous situation.

At the critical moment, Mu Nianci stepped in...
