Chapter 100 - Five Strokes
Chapter 100 Five Strokes
“I was wondering who it was. It’s country bumpkins from Rivernorth.” The disciple of the Sect of True Martial smiled disdainfully.
Because the middle of Fengzhou was separated by a river, the locals called the counties in the north of Fengzhou the Rivernorth area, and the counties in the south the Riversouth area.
As the saying went, water induced the development of agricultural work. The agriculture in the Riversouth area flourished because of the geographical advantage. After having abundant grain production, the people of the Riversouth District no longer had to worry about hunger. They could free up their hands to do more things, thus allowing the silk weaving and cotton spinning industries in Riversouth to advance by leaps and bounds.
When a region was rich enough, all kinds of sect, family, and talent would naturally be attracted to it, forming a virtuous circle.
Therefore, the people of the Riversouth District had always been full of a sense of superiority, looking down on the poor people of the Rivernorth District who were born in barren areas.
After hearing that, Wu Qingce replied, “I’m not here to argue with you. Hand over the person who hurt the disciples of the Sect of Returning Hearts and let us settle this matter.”
“Hahahahaha!” The disciple of the True Martial Sect who was wearing a sky-blue crane cloak threw his head back and laughed loudly. “With just you?” “Dong, dong, dong, dong…” A series of sounds came from the hostel, a disciple with a plaster on his face rushed out and pointed at Wu Qingce. “It was the Sect of Returning Hearts disciple who hurt my junior brother first. We haven’t even gone to your place and ask for an explanation, yet you dare to come to us and look for trouble.”
Glancing at the disciple with a plaster on his face, Wu Qingce said, “It seems that you are one of the people who injured my disciples. Call out your accomplices.” “Hey! You are unreasonable! I said that it was your Sect of Returning Hearts disciple who injured us first. We should be the one to seek justice!”
“I’ve said it before. I’m not here to be eloquent. If you dare to hurt my sect of Returning Hearts disciple, you must pay the price!”
Just as Wu Qingce called out loud, his imposing voice had already attracted the disciples of the various sects in the surrounding hostel. They came out to watch the commotion. Now that they heard Wu Qingce’s overbearing manner, they could not help but whistle. Those who did not mind the big matter even shouted, “Hey, you from the Sect of True Martial! He’s already riding on your face. If it were me, I’ll beat him
up!”
That Sect of True Martial disciple couldn’t stand the arrogant and despotic manner of Wu Qingce anymore. Now that he was provoked by the surrounding people, he directly pulled out the Pear Blossom Spear from his storage ring and shouted, “You’re going too far!” “Clang.” Wu Qingce instantly dodged to the side and placed his hand on the Levin sword hilt at his waist.
Seeing the two of them directly fighting, the surrounding crowd that had something to watch immediately cheered up. The spear technique of the Sect of True Martial disciple was powerful and domineering. Each thrust seemed to have the force of a thousand tons, and it rolled up a cloud of sand.
Under such a powerful attack, Wu Qingce continuously dodged and didn’t even draw his sword.
Seeing Wu Qingce dodge his spear again, that Sect of True Martial disciple suddenly withdrew his spear and laughed, “Haha! You don’t even have the strength to fight back. You still dare to bark wildly in front of us. If you were in an open space, you would have been stabbed to death by my spear.”
Wu Qingce shook his head with a smile and replied, “If I really wanted to take your life, you would have already died five times.”
“Hahahahaha!” that Sect of True Martial disciple laughed loudly.
This time, the surrounding disciples also laughed along. They had all seen with their own eyes that Wu Qingce could only dodge the spear attack miserably. He even said that he had already taken Wu Qingce’s life five times. He was bragging too much. However, there were also a few people in the crowd who had their brows tightly knitted. Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
Seeing that Sect of True Martial disciple laughing so hard that he was sprawled on the ground, Wu Qingce lifted Levin and pointed at his chest. He said, “You can touch your chest.”
“What are you saying? Hahaha…” that Sect of True Martial disciple said as he touched his left chest. Then, his laughter suddenly stopped.
That was because he found that his crane coat had been cut several times without his knowledge.
In his panic, he fiddled with the cut on his coat. However, he didn’t expect that with just a little bit of force, the entire crane coat would break into pieces and fall to the ground.
This scene immediately stopped the laughter of the surrounding disciples. Everyone’s eyes were focused on the chest of that Sect of True Martial disciple. They realized that Wu Qingce had used his sword to cut out five strokes on the chest of the Sect of True Martial disciple.
“Every stroke on your chest means that I could have pierce your chest once. There are five strokes in total. You can count them.”
This time, the expression of that Sect of True Martial disciple completely changed. He instantly understood that it was not that Wu Qingce did not counterattack, but Wu Qingce was so fast that he did not even see it when he drew his sword!
“What kind of cultivation base is this?!”
Looking at speechless Sect of True Martial disciple, Wu Qingce could not help but sigh in his heart. “This moves that taught by Brother Jiang really works every time.”
Wu Qingce had once asked Jiang Beiran for advice on how to give him the greatest deterrence without harming the other party’s life.
Jiang Beiran thought for a moment and replied, “Instead of piercing them, you could draw five strokes on opponent’s body or clothes. This way, you could show off your strength and also intimidate your opponents. They would become angry and loss their calm when fighting you, or they would instantly give up out of fear.” contemporary romance
Ever since he learned this method, Wu Qingce would use this method every time he encountered a quest to capture a target alive. Moreover, every time he used this method, it would shock the other party to the point that they immediately stop resisting.
“That Wu Qingce is even stronger than the last time he participated in the martial arts competition… could it be that he has already become a great mystic practitioner?!’
In the crowd, many of the disciples who had seen Wu Qingce at the sect tournament of Rivernorth District exclaimed in their hearts.
The other disciples who had never seen Wu Qingce were surprised that the Sect of Returning Hearts had such a powerful young disciple. Taking out another piece of clothing from the storage ring and putting it on, the Sect of True Martial disciple cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for showing mercy, Brother Wu. But as a senior brother, I can’t just watch you take my junior brothers away.”
“Who is causing trouble in front of our Sect of True Martial?”
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded from above the crowd. At the same time, a figure landed between Wu Qingce and the Sect of True Martial disciple.
