My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 94: Must Seek Revenge! (Seeking Subscriptions)

"Let's go!"

Without explanation, Chen Wuji grabbed Duan Zhen's shoulder and leaped off the cliff.

Whoosh!

Whoosh~

The strong wind howled, causing their clothes to flutter.

Like a large bird, they glided through the air.

Chen Wuji, with Duan Zhen in tow, glided down to the ground and stopped by a small stream.

Retracting his hand, Chen Wuji took out several porcelain bottles, a cylindrical tube, a dagger, and a few silver bills, and handed them all to Duan Zhen.

"The cylindrical tube is a hidden weapon, the porcelain bottles contain poison such as Heartbreaking Powder and Corpse-transforming Powder, and the dagger is also poisoned. When traveling outside, money is indispensable."

Duan Zhen didn't say anything and silently accepted the items, hiding them close to his body.

"Lastly, when carrying out missions, you can disguise yourself."

Chen Wuji raised his hand slightly. "That's all, you may go."

"Yes!"

Duan Zhen bowed and turned to leave.

Using the Winding Snake Steps technique, he swiftly disappeared into the woods.

Chen Wuji stood still for a moment.

He looked up at the steep cliff they had come from, which reached straight to the mountaintop.

Swoosh~

With a sudden push off his toes, he leaped into the air.

While still in mid-air, he slightly flipped his body, using the momentum to climb higher.

When the climbing force reached its halfway point, he suddenly burst into a sprint, propelling his body forward for a distance before flipping again.

Releasing the remaining force, he continued to use his feet to push off and soar upwards.

Without pausing for breath, he alternated between the Crane Dancing in the Sky Steps, the Lightning Steps, and the Winding Snake Steps, propelling his body towards the mountaintop.

The three fully mastered lightness techniques complemented each other, constantly colliding with the power of artistic conception.

Slowly, slowly, the three martial arts techniques began to merge together.

Extracting the most outstanding characteristics of each, he attempted to merge them into one.

Adding in the desired elements, he expanded his abilities.

In his mind, sparks of thought kept bursting forth, creating one after another dot of light.

The dots of light flickered and extinguished, but there was always one that remained lit.

In this process, Chen Wuji's body sometimes descended with reduced force, and sometimes gathered force to rise.

At its lowest point, he was less than half a foot from the ground.

At its highest point, he reached halfway up the cliff.

The mountain wind howled, swirling around his body.

A completely new lightness technique gradually became clear through integration, evolution, and perfection...

...

White Water County City.

"What? Cai Shuifeng is dead? He was beaten to death by Chen Wuji with three punches?"

"Didn't Chen Wuji also kill others with three punches before? One was Ba Wang Spear, Luo Bu Tu, and the other was Bai Ren Tu, Zhong Dao Niu. Did they also die at the hands of Chen Wuji?"

"Yeah, Luo Bu Tu and Zhong Dao Niu were both killed by Chen Wuji with three punches! This Chen Wuji is too powerful..."

"Can Robtu, Zhong Daoniu, and Cai Shuifeng compare to each other? The latter is a True Qi Realm cultivator! He's even a master at the True Qi Third Layer!"

"What's so special about the True Qi Third Layer? Chen Wuji could have easily beaten him with just three punches!"

"Tsk tsk, the True Qi Third Layer. Chen Wuji is at least a skilled practitioner at the True Qi Third Layer! Cai Shuifeng relies solely on his boxing technique to kill people, but Chen Wuji was able to defeat him. Without the cultivation of the True Qi Third Layer, it would be impossible!"

"At least the True Qi Third Layer. Chen Wuji must have encountered some great opportunities."

"Anyway, I don't have any expectations. Let's just watch the show honestly. By the way, how did Cai Shuifeng become the first to ascend Azure Ox Mountain?"

"Money can make the devil turn the grindstone. Don't be fooled by Cai Shuifeng's reputation as a hero. In reality, he also takes money to do things. As long as you can afford the price, not just Cai Shuifeng, even the 'Red Lake Five Heroes' will follow your orders!"

"Speaking of which, now that Cai Shuifeng is dead, what are the other four heroes of the 'Red Lake Five Heroes' going to do?"

"Well, we'll have to ask them~"

...

Inside a house in the county town.

"I told you not to take this job, but you didn't listen. Now look, he's been beaten to death with three punches!"

In the room, a man with a full beard stared angrily.

"What's the point of saying all this now?"

Zeng Shuiyu's face was cold as she said indifferently, "Fourth Brother is dead. The real problem is what we should do next."

Apart from "Uninjured Fist" Cai Shuifeng, the "Red Lake Five Heroes" also included "Soul-Stealing Spear" Wu Shuiqing, "Chasing Light Knife" Qian Shuijia, "Focused Sword" Zeng Shuiyu, and "Shadow-Cutting Whip" Shen Shuihu.

Zeng Shuiyu was the only woman among them, at the True Qi Realm Second Layer, in her early thirties, and ranked third among the five.

The man with the full beard was Shen Shuihu, the fifth-ranked one. He was tall and strong, with a rough appearance but a keen mind.

"Yes, what to do now is the real problem."

Shen Shuihu sighed and looked at the other three, asking, "Let's all speak up. Fourth Brother is dead, should we seek revenge?"

"Of course we should!"

Wu Shuiqing glared, "Chen Wuji killed Fourth Brother. If we don't retaliate, how can we survive in the martial world? How will others see us? Cowards? Weaklings? Spineless trash?"

"Alright, since we've decided to seek revenge, let's come up with a plan first."

Shen Shuihu said in a deep voice, "Chen Wuji was able to kill Fourth Brother with three punches, which means his strength is at least at the True Qi Third Layer, possibly even at the True Qi Fourth Layer. In a head-on confrontation, even if we join forces, we won't gain much advantage."

"So, to deal with Chen Wuji, we need to use some tricks."

"What kind of tricks?" Wu Shuiqing asked.

"We've already investigated. The people left in the Chen Family's mansion are all servants."

Zeng Shuiyu said calmly, "If we kill all these servants, Chen Wuji won't even bat an eye. The so-called 'Hidden Dragon Gate' refers to Chen Wuji and his eight disciples."

"Wasn't it seven?" Wu Shuiqing asked instinctively.

"It used to be eight, but one of them betrayed Chen Wuji and had his cultivation crippled before being expelled from the Hidden Dragon Gate. He was killed by someone." Zeng Shuiyu replied, "Now there are seven, and each one of them has greatly improved their strength under Chen Wuji's guidance. One of his female disciples has even broken through to the True Qi Realm."

"So, we shouldn't underestimate his seven disciples either."

Shen Shuihu said in a deep voice, "But these seven disciples are also his weakness! Chen Wuji himself is exceptionally strong and not easy to deal with. We can use his disciples to confront him!"

"How do we do that?" Wu Shuiqing asked.

"This is what I'm thinking." Shen Shuihu analyzed, "Second Brother and I will enter the mountain from the south to lure Chen Wuji out. You two will enter the mountain from the east and west. After Chen Wuji comes out, quickly capture two of his seven disciples, any two will do."

"Of course, it would be best to capture the one at the True Qi Realm. However, the True Qi Realm's strength is a bit strong, so it might take some time to subdue them."

"Okay."

Wu Shuiqing nodded, "We'll decide who to capture based on the situation."

"No problem." Qian Shuijia agreed.

"Third Sister?" Shen Shuihu looked at Zeng Shuiyu.

After thinking for a moment, Zeng Shuiyu nodded, "I have no problem with that."

"Then it's decided. We'll take action as soon as it gets dark!"
