218: Chapter 98 Ouyang Feng, fallen!

Just as the scene fell into a brief silence because of the "Wumu Jiyao" (Military Strategy Notes), the sound of fighting suddenly came from outside.

Everyone followed the sound to check the situation and found that it was Old Imp and Ouyang Feng fighting, with Ouyang Ke and Silly Aunt standing nearby.

Ouyang Ke stood watching the battle.

Silly Aunt, however, was shouting loudly to cheer for Old Imp: "Old Imp, go! Hit his butt!"

Upon seeing Meng Li and the others arrive, Ouyang Ke's expression changed.

He and Ouyang Feng had come to Peach Blossom Island to secretly obtain the Nine Yin Manual, so they did not take the Righteous Path but chose to sneak in. It was smooth at first; relying on his previous memory of Peach Blossom Island's layout, they proceeded unimpeded.

But halfway through, the situation suddenly changed.

The originally safe area had become a deadly Formation, containing mechanisms and hidden weapons.

This was a modification made later by Medicine Master Huang, incorporating the art of mechanisms that Meng Li had described.

Ouyang Ke, unaware of this, stepped right into the trap.

Having no choice, Ouyang Feng had to resort to brute force to break the Formation.

The commotion caused by this action attracted Silly Aunt, who was playing hide-and-seek with Old Imp nearby.

Silly Aunt, having been instructed by Medicine Master Huang and Huang Rong, knew that the one disrupting the Formation was a bad person, and she yelled that she was going to call people to deal with Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Ke.

When Ouyang Feng saw this, he intended to strike at Silly Aunt.

At the critical moment, Old Imp arrived and started fighting Ouyang Feng to protect Silly Aunt, his playmate.

At first, Ouyang Ke wanted to take the opportunity to deal with Silly Aunt, but Old Imp could multitask, preventing him from succeeding immediately. And Silly Aunt, seeing Old Imp and Ouyang Feng fighting, found it amusing and did not go to report them; instead, she stood on the spot acting as a cheerleader.

Seeing this, Ouyang Ke intended to use her to restrain Old Imp and create an opportunity for Ouyang Feng, so he wasn't in a hurry to attack her.

Who knew that a moment later, such a large group of people would arrive.

Meng Li and Mu Nianci were greatly surprised to see Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Ke.

They had recently asked Hong Qi to help keep an eye on the whereabouts of the two, never expecting to run into them so soon.

It truly was a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road!

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Meng Li's eyes, and his figure moved like a phantom behind Ouyang Feng, seizing the opportunity to strike his back with a Heart Shattering Palm.

Ouyang Feng sensed the danger approaching, and his internal alarm bells rang wildly. He instinctively pulled away to dodge.

Although this dodge avoided a fatal blow, he still felt terrible.

Meng Li's Heart Shattering Palm struck his shoulder blade.

The Seven Wounds Fist that Old Imp was using against him also hit his body, with the Seven Wounds Fist energy layering into his internal organs.

Both Old Imp's and Meng Li's power were no less than Ouyang Feng's. The latter could not fare well even fighting them head-on, let alone being struck.

Therefore, after Ouyang Feng pulled back, before his body could even stabilize, he spat out a mouthful of old blood, his face turning pale.

Seeing this, Meng Li intended to press the attack and eliminate Ouyang Feng.

But as soon as he made a move, Old Imp blocked him: "Brother Meng, I was fighting Old Poison quite well, how could you sneak attack?"

"That's too against the rules."

Meng Li glanced at him and sneered, "Rules?"

"The rule of the Jianghu is that disaster should not extend to family."

"But in order to take the Nine Yin Manual from me, he and Ouyang Ke went to my home and tried to capture my mother to threaten me."

"If I hadn't been prepared, he might have succeeded."

"Since he acted first, he shouldn't blame me for finishing it."

Upon hearing this, Old Imp was stunned and said no more.

Medicine Master Huang, Guo Jing, the Jiangnan Six Monsters, and the others also understood why Meng Li had suddenly launched a sneak attack on Ouyang Feng and remained silent.

The fact that he involved family truly crossed the line.

If they were in his shoes, they would also find it intolerable, so they felt Meng Li's actions were not wrong.

Even Guo Jing felt the same way.

In the past, he might have felt a slight impropriety. But last time in the Great Desert, that Prodigy had also used Li Ping to threaten him. He had been furious and helpless then, so he could deeply understand Meng Li now.

After Meng Li finished explaining, he bypassed Old Imp and charged toward Ouyang Feng.

Ouyang Feng's injuries were not stable yet. Seeing this, he activated his Lightness Skill and fled without a word.

Meng Li leaped up in pursuit.

On the other side, Ouyang Ke saw that he was being left behind. His mood was complex, and he immediately prepared to slip away.

However, just as he made a move, a graceful figure in red blocked his path.

This graceful figure was none other than Mu Nianci.

Ouyang Ke was a bit surprised upon seeing this, but he wasn't flustered; instead, he felt delighted. He was somewhat familiar with Mu Nianci's Martial Arts, and they were truly average. Therefore, he was certain that she couldn't do anything to him. And if he could capture Mu Nianci, he could use her to threaten Meng Li and help Ouyang Feng escape the crisis.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Ke used a grappling move to attack Mu Nianci.

Unexpectedly, the move failed to connect and was easily dodged by Mu Nianci.

Afterward, Mu Nianci used the Heart Shattering Palm and began fighting Ouyang Ke.

After a short while, Ouyang Ke was inwardly shocked and fell into a disadvantage.

Regarding this, Medicine Master Huang, Guo Jing, and Huang Rong were not surprised.

They had seen Mu Nianci fight before at Guiyun Village and knew her Martial Arts were no less than Mei Chaofeng's. Facing the slightly inferior Ouyang Ke now, she was naturally bound to win.

The Yang Tiexin family and Li Mochou, however, were secretly astonished.

Their impression of Mu Nianci's Martial Arts level was based on before, or it was their first time truly learning about it; they had not expected her to suppress Ouyang Ke.

In less than a moment, Ouyang Ke was struck by a Heart Shattering Palm, and then Mu Nianci immobilized his acupoints, leaving him unable to move.

Medicine Master Huang and Old Imp were slightly surprised.

Because the acupoint striking technique Mu Nianci used was from the Nine Yin Manual.

In an instant, they relaxed again.

Meng Li had learned the Complete Manual of the Nine Yin Manual, and he was not the type to hoard his treasures. It was completely normal for his wife, Mu Nianci, to be taught the Martial Arts from it.

It was just that they felt a bit emotional.

Back then, the Nine Yin Manual was something everyone fought over, but when it came to Meng Li, it didn't seem as important.

Not only was it used as a bargaining chip, but those around him were also taught it easily.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Feng used his Lightness Skill to move high and low, fleeing all the way to the shore where he had secretly crossed over.

A boat was anchored at the shore; this was the escape route Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Ke had prepared.

Ouyang Feng saw Meng Li pursuing closely and was about to board the boat to escape without a word.

Just as he was preparing to leap onto the boat using his internal energy, Meng Li, sensing the time was right, used his true skill—Transferring Flowers and Grafting Trees!

Ouyang Feng, who was mid-air, was instantly forcefully controlled, and his power began to leak out.

Sensing the abnormality in himself, his face changed drastically on the spot, and he asked Meng Li with terror, "What Martial Arts is this of yours? It's so bizarre!"

Meng Li's face was expressionless: "A dying person doesn't need to know too much."

Saying this, he pulled Ouyang Feng close, and under the man's horrified gaze, he struck his crown.

Western Venom Ouyang Feng, perished!

Next, Meng Li took out Corpse Dissolving Water from his personal space and poured it onto Ouyang Feng's corpse.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the corpse, along with the clothes, dissolved into a pool of bloody water, which was washed away by the waves and disappeared without a trace.

Truly, not a single bone remained!
