Chapter 333: Evil Kung Fu

“I didn’t expect that.” The old monk Fayan walked out of the tent with his ribs wrapped in bandages as repeated, “I didn’t expect that.”

Despite not having any reason for it, Gu Shenwei had a profound hatred for the monk. He glared at him holding the saber and did not say a word.

Fayan’s deep essence seemed to be concentrated in his penetrating eyes. He looked at Dragon King the way an elder looked at a naughty young man, “Has the Great Snowmountain cooperated with New Moon Hall?”

Gu Shenwei was shocked. Few people knew that Maid Lotus had joined New Moon Hall, but the old monk could guess the truth just from one shriek.

Fayan turned his sight from Dragon King to the tent. The shrieks inside had stopped. “Excuse me, who is the master of New Moon Hall?”

Maid Lotus walked out of the tent. She did not look very well and her steps were not steady yet, but she could walk on her own feet.

Gu Shenwei was shocked again. Every time he resisted his Internal Demons, he could not even get up after the first stage of torture. He had to continue to exercise and cure himself. It was beyond his expectation that Maid Lotus could move freely so soon.

“Does Master know New Moon Hall’s master?” Despite her weak voice, Maid Lotus was clearly vigilant and she instinctively hated the old monk.

Fayan stared blankly at her. During the fight the previous night, Maid Lotus was wearing a mask on her face and her movements were so fast that the monk did not see what she looked like. When he found out that it was actually a young woman who was walking out of the tent, he was astonished. He asked, “Was the patroness’ surname Kang or Han?”

“My surname is Huo.” Maid Lotus was originally named Huo Yun, and few people knew her last name.

Fayan was even more astonished. He shook his head and then nodded, “Has New Moon Hall begun to accept disciples of other surnames since it returned to Jianghu? Forgive me for being ignorant, but how has Master Han been?”

“Master Han has been very good, but she hasn’t mentioned Master.”

“Master Han has rarely travelled through Jianghu. I’ve only heard about her and have not seen her personally. Naturally, she would not know my name.”

Fayan seemed to be increasingly interested in Maid Lotus. The way he stared at her was impolite, even for ordinary people, but he did not care, “How long has it been since the patroness had practiced the Divine Rotation?”

“This Monk knows a lot, and he even recognizes these occult sciences”, said Maid Lotus, standing firm and with a calm voice, growing more and more cautious. She was gathering her strength to prepare for an attack.

Fayan had not sensed the danger. Instead, he thought about it for a while raising his head and then went on talking by himself, “There are three evil kung fu styles: the Wayless Book, the Dajue Book of Swordcraft and the Divine Rotation. I am afraid that no one has succeeded in cultivating them at the same time for nearly a hundred years. Yet the Patroness, at such a young age, unexpectedly…”

“Evil kung fu?” Maid Lotus sneered, both divine kung fu and evil kung fu kill people, what’s the difference between the evil and the divine kung fu?”

Although Maid Lotus wanted to kill the monk, she was truly afraid of the old monk and did not dare to do anything against him.

Gu Shenwei had heard of many secret techniques in the New Moon Hall, but he did not know that, in the past three years, Maid Lotus had learned some of them. Apparently, her incredible ability with the swordcraft of the Death Scripture had something to do with it.

As they were all used to kill people, Gu Shenwei agreed with Maid Lotus that there was no difference between the evil and the divine kung fu styles. Just like the two brothers Lianhua and Lianxin, Fayan was an eminent monk of the Four Truths Temple, who believed that only by eliminating the killing desire deeply rooted in people’s heart, an adherence to old ideas could arise.

Fayan put his palms together devoutly and mouthed a few prayers. Then raised his head and said, “There is still some difference. These three evil kung fu styles…”

The monk suddenly stopped. At the same time, Gu Shenwei rushed into the tent with Maid Lotus.

The weapons crushed, making a crisp sound. A figure broke through the top of the tent and rose up. After landing, it jumped three times in a row and stopped ten steps away.

Gu Shenwei sliced the tent with his saber and walked out with Maid Lotus. The man was able to escape under the siege of two killers, so he must have been extraordinary at kung fu.

The moonlight was glistening over the sky. Gu Shenwei glanced at Shi Dazhi, who was used to practicing kung fu with Maid Lotus. There was no wound on the man’s strong body, but his face was extremely distorted, his eyes widely opened, and his lips closed to his ears, covered with a layer of frost.

He seemed to be scared to death in a cold environment.

Gu Shenwei just glanced at him and then looked at the master who sneaked into the tent.

Dressed in a Taoist costume, with three long strands of beards and a three-foot-long sword in his hand, the Taoist Duansheng, who had left alone, secretly returned.

The Taoist Duansheng was still terrified after fleeing at a time of imminent peril, but on his face, there was an evil smile, “It’s a pity that the three divine kung fu styles fell into the hands of a little girl. Heaven doesn’t have eyes, but your grandpa is not convinced.”

Maid Lotus had not yet recovered and could not use the sword, but she was not afraid. She stood up and said, “If you are not convinced, come and take it. Defeat me and the divine kung fu will naturally belong to you.”

Fighting with Maid Lotus, Taoist Duansheng discovered that her internal strength had been injured, but Dragon King was still next to her. He was not confident in winning even if the two of them acted together. Therefore, he turned to Fayan, “Monk, it’s a Buddhist disciple’s duty to subdue demons and devils. Now the two devils’ heads are here in front of you, why are you just watching them? Kill them or you’ll regret it.”

“Amitabha, the devil is born from the heart and must be removed from the heart. The two benefactors have not completely succumbed to the devil spirits, thus they can still be saved.”

Taoist Duansheng burst into laughter, waving his sword in the air. “What a merciful monk! If you do not regard common people, you will only avoid your responsibility. Let the Taoist do the tiring work of killing the demons.”

As the Taoist Duansheng pronounced these words, he had already made up his mind that if Dragon King and Maid Lotus joined their forces against him, he would never get into the fight.

To his delight, Maid Lotus came out alone.

Maid Lotus glanced at Gu Shenwei, meaning that she was fine. She stepped forward, with her sword hanging beside her waist and empty hands. “The devil is here. Now the Taoist can come here to kill the devil.”

All the monks in the tent came out, including the severely injured Lianqing – he was standing behind Fayan, supporting his elder brother and watching the battle.

Fayan bowed his head and recited the sutra in a low voice. It seemed that he had no interest in the duel.

Gu Shenwei observed carefully how Maid Lotus had improved her kung fu.

Taoist Duansheng grinned grimly. A long sword struck the ground, stirring up a sand curtain, which rose more than one person high and suddenly attacked Maid Lotus like a huge sword.

The long sword of Taoist Duansheng kept slicing, rolling up the sand curtain layer by layer, converging into a storm and rushing toward his target.

Maid Lotus’s Internal Strength had not recovered yet, so she could not fight back directly but had to rely on the Lightness Skills to dodge the sand curtains.

More and more flying sand and stones gathered as they surrounded Maid Lotus. By contrast, the Invincible Machete of Tianshan He Sancai’s Earth Combing Skill was not on the same level.

The Taoist Duansheng coveted the three evil kung fu. He did not immediately use all of his strength, but instead, he slowly increased his strength overtime, hoping to exhaust Maid Lotus’s internal strength and capture her alive.

Soon, he regretted his decision.

A group of bandits holding torches approached slowly in the distance and discovered that there was a battle.

Maid Lotus launched a sudden counterattack. Originally, she was like a boat floating on the stormy waves. Suddenly, she turned into a sword in the twinkling of an eye and broke through the sand curtains, stretching out her hand to pat the enemy.

Though already prepared, Taoist Duansheng’s reaction was still slow. He was hit on the chest, which caused him to retreat more than ten steps. Feeling that this slap was weak and did not cause any serious injury, he relaxed.

When the sand curtain fell to the ground, Maid Lotus stood where she was, sweating profusely. It seemed that the hit had consumed all her strength.

Taoist Duansheng brushed his chest and grinned. “What do you want? Flirting with the old Taoist…”

He has not finished talking yet before he suddenly fell short and unexpectedly knelt down unconscious, his mouth foaming. His hands were scratching his body and he immediately blushed like blood, rolling on the ground like crazy.

Monks who were watching the battle looked at each other and Fayan recited the sutra even faster.

Gu Shenwei saw the shadow of the Peripheral Force from Maid Lotus’hit; however, she did it so easily and the effect came out so fast, and it was so different from Mama Xue.

Taoist Duansheng felt like burning all over his body and there was extreme tingling everywhere. Meanwhile, the itching became unbearable and he had to rub himself on the ground. He finally understood what was the right thing to do, asking desperately for mercy, “Miss, please forgive me. I am a bastard. I was blind, forgive me, forgive me, please!”

The voice sounded so miserable – it somewhat resembled that of Shi Dazhi before he died.

The approaching bandits stopped in the distance again.

Maid Lotus looked indifferent at the whining and begging Taoist Duansheng. She turned back with her eyes fixed on Gu Shenwei. There was even a hint of provocation in her eyes.

At this point, she was not the Shadow Guard of Dragon King, but the Managing Master of New Moon Hall, who possessed three divine kung fu and many other extraordinary skills.

Gu Shenwei raised his head slightly and was indifferent to the shrieks that were filling his ears. The devil girl under the moonlight instead could not help but feel excited. He understood that the monk was right. The Wayless Book and the Death Scripture were all evil kung fu. Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus had succumbed to the devils and even enjoyed it.

They were different from the common people.

Maid Lotus smiled, and she knew that this man would be the only person in the world who understood her.

They were similar to each other.

“Amitabha,” a Buddhist voice raised between the two people.

Perhaps the monks had found that they could no longer be saved. Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus had the same thought as they approached each other and stood side by side facing the twelve monks.

“Bliss Needle, the benefactor patroness had good luck. You should have received Master Han’s generous instruction.”

There was a trick in Maid Lotus’ strike on Taoist Duansheng. With a poisonous needle between her two fingers, she stabbed one of his most important acupuncture points. In fact, there was nothing in common with the Peripheral Force.

“The Monk seemed to be very familiar with New Moon Hall.”

“I have spent half of my life to studying the secret techniques of New Moon Hall, hence I know a little bit about the Bliss Needle. It is said that the pain will last for seven days and seven nights.”

“You’re right.”

Taoist Duansheng heard clearly what they said and was scared to death. At this moment, the Taoist’s robe had been torn to pieces. He rolled on the ground as he crawled toward Maid Lotus, begging for mercy.

“Is the patroness not going to save him?”

“Why should I do that?”

Fayan sighed. “May I propose a battle to you, to see what New Moon Hall’s divine kung fu is capable of? What do you think?”

It was the first time that Maid Lotus heard such a polite request. She understood that the monk was excellent at kung fu, but she was not afraid of him. Instead, she was desperate to take revenge. She said, “Agreed.”

Maid Lotus looked at Gu Shenwei and did not know whether because he was being impulsive or he had other purposes, and she whispered, “I’ll tell you everything.”
