Chapter 531: Delay

Old Man Mu and Wildhorse seemed to be master and apprentice before, but they actually utilized each other’s strength. At that time, they didn’t like each other very much.

“Wildhorse? Are you still alive? How did you lose one of your arms? I guess that it was cut off by the Dragon King. Why did you bother him? Come on, you should apologize to the Dragon King. If he will forgive you, I’ll adopt you as my pupil and teach you one-handed sword skills. In fact, killing a person is like killing a pig, so you can still make a living by killing people,” Old Man Mu said.

Wildhorse was unable to speak, so he took out his saber, ready to fight. He had lost his left arm, but he could still hold his saber with his right hand.

Old Man Mu didn’t care about his actions, but shouted at Ye Buluo, who had retreated to Zhe Su’s side,”Take your saber.”

The saber quickly flew towards Zhe Su like a bolt of lightning, and Ye Buluo quickly jumped in front of the General’s horse to protect him, and then reached for his saber.

The promise of Old Man Mu was to not kill people, but it was very difficult for him to return the saber to Ye Buluo calmly. He intended for Ye Buluo to jump out to grab the saber, and he succeeded.

Lightness Skills was one of best skills of the Yuqing Sect. Although his skills had weakened, he could still prevail over the common kung fu masters of jianghu.

Ye Buluo failed to grab his saber and froze again. He held out one hand as if he was holding something.

Old Man Mu wagged the saber in front of Ye Buluo, but ignored Wildhorse, who was still waiting for him to fight.

General Zhe Su was scared and backed up. Meanwhile, a group of guards rushed forward to protect him.

“Good girl asked me to release the blockage of acupoints, so it was pointess to let someone else do that. I have to hit you at certain acupoints again. If anyone tries to release you again, I will have to hit you repeatedly,” Old Man Mu said, not caring that Zhe Su had retreated backward, only wanting to follow the order from Shangguan Ru.

Ye Buluo blushed even more. Hearing this, he became more angry and said, “Old Devil Mu, I…”

“I know you hate me,” Old Man Mu said, taking his time and circling around Ye Buluo. “Young man, when you are the same age as me, you will realize that it is extremely important to recognize the true situation around you. Your kung fu is worse than mine, so it is hard to say whether you will reach my age. I advise you to go away from Jianghu to raise chickens and ducks, and then marry several wives…” said Old Man Mu.

Old Man Mu was stalling. He neither released the blockage acupoints from Ye Buluo nor fought with Wildhorse. Wildhorse was holding his saber to wait silently, as if he had also been hit in the acupoints.

“Old Devil Mu, are you afraid?” a man from the Naihang Tribe said.

“I heard that you were absolutely fearless, but now you look like a Jianghu conman. Your skills have weakened, which took away your courage, right?” another man continued.

“Who? Come out.” Old Man Mu pointed his saber at the group of cavalry from the Naihang Tribe with dissatisfaction.

But the two men told the truth. Everyone could see that Old Man Mu was scared and stalling.

Old Man Mu had never taught Willdhorse all his skills, but Wildhorse knew him very well after staying with him for a long time and could guess his flaws. Besides, he was able to release his seven circles and seven apertures Heart Stopping Finger, which made Old Man Mu a little nervous.

The crowd noisily began calling Old Man Mu a coward, so he fought against them one by one with the short-saber. It became more obvious that he was stalling, and he still dared not fight Wildhorse.

The people of Norland were displeased by his actions. If they hadn’t promised to fight with him one-on-one, a group would have all rushed to fight him together.

Zhe Su shouted at the Dragon King, “Is this a soldier of the Dragon Army? It’s no wonder that people said that the Dragon King depended on women to beat his opponents in the battle of the seaside slope.”

Gu Shenwwei raised his head to look at the sky. The sun was about to rise, so he said, “Old Man Mu, stop talking and continue your competition.”

Old Man Mu wanted to argue when he realized that he had already claimed to be a soldier of the Dragon King, so he had to follow the order. He stopped talking, and returned the saber to Ye Buluo carefully. He kept the point of the saber pointed downward, and then hit his body at random points. After that, he retreated several steps back.

Ye Buluo had been humiliated and was very angry, so he immediately turned his saber blade up and used all his strength to chase after Old Man Mu. He was determined to kill the old man in front of everyone.

He still hadn’t learn to recognize the true situation.

They began to chase and elude each other again. However, this time was different from before. Ye Buluo was chasing Old Man Mu now.

Old Man Mu kept his mouth shut. He had been ordered not to provoke the opponent with words, so he chose to use Lightness Skills to trick him. He always stayed ahead by three or four steps. He was like a bouncing ball and flew everywhere, seeming to be disorganized, but keeping his distance from Wildhorse.

It was another tactic of stalling.

Zhe Su regretted asking Ye Buluo to fight. If he had known this would be the result, he would have chosen Wildhorse from the beginning. He ordered, “Ye Buluo, come back!”

The General said that harshly, so Ye Buluo orally agreed. However, in his eyes, his saber was very close to Old Man Mu, and he needed only a little time to avenge himself and keep his dignity. Therefore, he decided to chase him several more steps.

Ye Buluo thought that it would only take a little time to kill Old Man Mu, so he didn’t see it as breaking the General’s order. He didn’t realize that the General was livid, and had sent a hint to Wildhorse.

Wildhorse took several steps toward the right front. He lowered his head slightly and stared at the land in front of his feet as if he was not interested in the two people who were several steps away. When he began to make his move, everyone was very surprised, even those who had been expecting it.

Wildhorse was far away from Ye Buluo, and made a mistake regarding the direction. He hit nothing, and his mark wasn’t even close to Ye Buluo or Old Man Mu.

It was only Wildhorse who could predict the wild steps of Old Man Mu’s Lightness Skills, so he knew that he must succeed.

With a thud, Ye Buluo was hit. Wildhorse kept the promise of fighting alone, so he should make Ye Buluo leave the field first. Now that the General was angry, he had to follow his orders.

Ye Buluo flew into the air as if he had been hit by the strongest giant crossbow. He flew out vertically and landed sideways with a thud. If he survived that, everyone would be surprised.

Gu Shenwei was even more surprised. The skills of Wildhorse were obviously stronger than they were last year. He thought that it could only be Wayless Qigong that had so improved his Internal Strength in such a short time.

“Well, I didn’t kill him…” Old Man Mu tried to defend himself, and then closed his mouth again. He used all his strength to elude Wildhorse. He moved very quickly, only leaving small wisps of smoke where he’d been.

He was really afraid of Wildhorse, so he didn’t care about his status of being a senior and a devil. He only wanted to live until dawn.

Wildhorse’s Lightness Skills were much better than those of Ye Buluo, and about the same as those of Old Man Mu. He held his saber and pressed forward at every stage. During the second lap of the field, everyone realized that Old Man Mu couldn’t continue to escape. He could either attack directly or make a counterattack, but no matter which method he chose, he wouldn’t succeed.

Everyone was focused on the present situation in the field except Gu Shenwei. He only paid attention to Wildhorse’s kung fu. Wildhorse had not only improved his Internal Strength greatly, but had also transformed his Lightness and machete skills significantly, which were much stronger than before.

Gu Shenwei realized that the machete skills of Wildhorse were different from those of other killers before Wildhorse even drew his saber. Wildhorse didn’t choose to attack his opponent from the rear side, but approached the front to fight Old Man Mu several times.

Where did he learn so many first-class kung fu skills in only over a year?

Gu Shenwei turned around and whispered to Shangguan Fei. Shangguan Fei looked very surprised, and then nodded and said loudly, “Wildhorse and Old Man Mu used to be master and apprentice. You have no great hatred for each other, so you needn’t to fight to the death, right? I know that you were working together last year. As a result, Old Man Mu was caught, but Wildhorse kept following him to try to save him at any chance. Unfortunately, he had his left arm cut off by the Dragon King. Old Man Mu did not avenge him, but was loyal to the Dragon King … ”

Shangguan Fei spoke of the relationship between Old Man Mu and Wildhorse emphatically.

Old Man Mu seemed to be an invisible man around Wildhorse. Nobody knew his real identity except a few people, like the Supreme King.

Gu Shenwei figured that Wildhorse probably hid their true relationship when he sought refuge with the Naihang Tribe of Norland.

In fact, when Old Man Mu saw Wildhorse, he had asked lots of questions, showing that they were very familiar with each other. However, few people took it seriously. Others thought that Old Man Mu was just stalling and wanted to provoke dissension. It was not until Shangguan Fei told the truth that everyone knew that they had very deep ties.

Wildhorse was unable to speak, so he lost the chance to defend himself.

Old Man Mu immediately understood the intention of Shangguan Fei, and he said, “yes, my little Wildhorse. You cooked for me and washed my clothes for me while I taught you how to behave. We were very good, but how…”

Old Man Mu was careless at that moment, because he forgot that his Lightness Skills were damaged when his skills had weakened, making it difficult to run and speak at the same time. If Ye Buluo were chasing him, he could have done it easily, but his opponent was Wildhorse, whose Lightness Skills were about equal to those of Old Man Mu.

Wildhorse began using his saber to fight. In a short time, Gu Shenwei knew that he wasn’t using the machete techniques of the Golden Roc Fort.

However, Old Man Mu seemed familiar with these machete techiques and was able to escape at the critical time, but his left arm was broken. He dared not speak, but ran away instead. He cursed the sun in his heart, hoping it would appear quickly.

Previously, he had been afraid of the sun and always hid in his knapsack during the daytime. However, he had changed since he lost his kung fu skills in the Land of Fragrance. Now, the sun was his life.

Old Man Mu couldn’t say a word, so Shangguan Fei continued for him, “oh, that was a close call. Old Man Mu, you should thank Wildhorse. He didn’t hurt you just now because of your relationship.”

Zhe Su became confused and spoke some words in his native language. It was obvious that he was reprimanding Wildhorse.

There is no way to kill two birds with one stone. Wildhorse was chasing Old Man Mu wholeheartedly, so he didn’t have the energy to listen to Zhe Su carefully.

Old Man Mu jumped a few steps, and then returned to the Dragon King’s side. He jumped onto his horse, pointed to the sky, and said, “It’s dawn, so the competition is over.”

Wildhorse pretended to ignore his words and continued to follow him closely.

Suddenly, Gu Shenwei took out his Five Peaks Saber. He had stayed vigilant. When Wildhorse was ten paces away from him, he could see that Wildhorse wanted to kill him rather than Old Man Mu.

Wildhorse was eager to avenge for his lost arm. In addition to that, antagonism and hatred against the Dragon King had been instilled in him at the Carvewood Academy of the Golden Roc Fort.
