On the arena, Northern Beggar was struggling bitterly to support himself.
Eastern Heretic suddenly sighed, "Old Beggar is going to lose. He took Ouyang Feng's charged Toad Skill head-on and has no strength left now. Defeat is only a matter of time."
Huang Rong was greatly shocked upon hearing this, "What?"
Guo Jing also watched the battle on the arena with agonizing anxiety, "The two people on the arena are both top-tier experts of the present day, yet one acts for chivalry and justice while the other relies on strength to do evil. This shows that martial arts themselves have no good or evil; it all depends on how a person uses them. Doing good makes martial arts stronger and more benevolent, while committing evil makes them stronger and more vicious."
The sky gradually grew close to dusk, and the spot where everyone stood now faced the setting sun. The sunlight was somewhat glaring, and the movements of these two people began to blur.
Yet from afar, one could hear the sounds of their fists and palms colliding, striking, lunging, and shouting, making hearts pound involuntarily.
Suddenly, she heard Huang Rong shout, "Ouyang Feng, my Brother Jing made a pact with you by clapping hands to spare your life three times, yet you still rely on your strength to bully me. You break your word and are not even as good as a nameless pawn in the martial arts world. How do you have the face to contend for the title of the number one in martial arts under heaven?"
Western Venom was greatly enraged, but immediately realized this was Huang Rong's trick, intentionally trying to make him angry and ashamed. As long as his internal energy circulation had the slightest impurity, he would instantly be defeated at the hands of Northern Beggar, so he simply turned a deaf ear to her.
He hardened his heart to stop playing tricks with Northern Beggar and directly suppressed him with sheer force. With one strike carrying tyrannical might, he sent Hong Qi sliding backward three or four meters on the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
Ouyang Feng was not stupid; Hong Qi was merely at the moment when his old strength had just faded and his new strength had yet to be born, and was suppressed by him. If he did not strike while the iron was hot and thoroughly defeat Hong Qi, the situation could easily be reversed.
At this moment, as long as Ouyang Feng rushed forward to deal Northern Beggar a blow, Northern Beggar would basically be done for.
Guo Jing suddenly leaped out, blocking in front of Northern Beggar.
Seeing this, Ouyang Feng sneered, "The single combat martial arts duel was what we agreed upon. Are you people trying to renege?"
Guo Jing said, "Master delayed two years of cultivation due to healing his injuries with internal energy. Otherwise, how could he have lost to you? In the first place, we truly should not have spared you three times."
Ouyang Feng had committed countless evil deeds in his life, but whenever he spoke, his word was his bond. He never went back on his promises and had always taken pride in this throughout his life. Being brought up by the person involved, he could not help but feel his earlobes burn.
Huang Rong shouted again, "You call yourself Western Venom, and treacherous cunning is naturally nothing out of the ordinary, but to have a younger generation junior spare your life three times has already exhausted all your face. To actually break your word to a junior as well, you truly make the heroes of the pugilistic world split their mouths laughing. Ouyang Feng, oh Ouyang Feng, there is one thing that truly no one under heaven can compare to your old self, and that is being the number one in shamelessness under heaven!"
Although Ouyang Feng felt somewhat hot with embarrassment, compared to his lifelong pursuits, these things counted for nothing.
Thus he said, "Your old man is already called Western Venom; isn't being treacherous and despicable a matter of course! On the other hand, the two of you—one the daughter of Eastern Heretic and the other the disciple of Northern Beggar—don't even understand martial arts etiquette and are interfering in someone else's duel. Heh, if word gets out, you aren't any more noble than I am."
Guo Jing said, "Daoist Qiu Chuji once said that the two words 'trust and righteousness' should be divided into the distinction between great trust and great righteousness versus small trust and small righteousness. If one sacrifices the greater principles for the sake of preserving personal small trust and small righteousness, then that cannot be considered trust and righteousness. Although Master made it clear to you that it would be single combat, if you harm Master and henceforth run amok across the world, I don't know how many good people will suffer injuries at your hands. I previously did not understand the true meaning of the words 'trust and righteousness', leading to many foolish things being done."
Huang Rong also picked up the Dog Beating Staff and stood together with Guo Jing.
Eastern Heretic in the distance also felt somewhat at a loss when he saw this situation, secretly cursing in his heart, This was originally a fair martial arts duel, with life and death left to fate. As a result, because of this meddling by Guo boy, what kind of mess is this!
Seeing his own daughter entering the arena as well, and feeling the bantering gaze Ouyang Feng cast toward him, he also felt somewhat embarrassed.
Huang Rong said loudly, "Against such a despicable, shameless person who repays kindness with enmity, there is no need to speak of any trust and righteousness with him. Let's attack together!"
As soon as her voice fell, she led Guo Jing to charge at Ouyang Feng.
Taking advantage of the time Huang Rong, Guo Jing, and Ouyang Feng spent arguing, Northern Beggar had recovered somewhat and now possessed a bit of strength to fight again.
Facing the two disciples who broke the rules, he did not say anything either. Just as they said, what trust and righteousness was there to speak of with such a person.
Besides, previously on the sea, he had let bygones be bygones and saved him, only to have his back bitten by strange snakes used by him, and suffered a fierce palm strike from him, nearly costing him his life. He directly recuperated for nearly two years before starting to recover. That was the greatest defeat he had ever experienced in his life, and also the rarest peril he had ever encountered. How could this grudge not be avenged?
Immediately he also stood side by side with the two disciples, jointly surrounding and attacking Ouyang Feng.
Ouyang Feng suddenly laughed loudly, "Hahaha... Old Beggar, usually you put on a sanctimonious appearance, but in the end you are just as shameless. Humph! So what if you don't abide by the rules? What do I have to fear? Bring it on!"
With a loud shout, he propped his hands on the ground and turned his body upside down.
Northern Beggar was instantly startled, secretly thinking, What kind of bizarre move is this? Why have I never seen it before?
Yet doubts aside, he still had to fight, and unleashed "Shocking a Hundred Li", the most powerful move among the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, straight at Ouyang Feng.
Guo Jing was not idle either, fighting alongside Northern Beggar with "Empty Clarity Fist" in his left hand and "Dragon Ascending to Heaven" in his right.
Huang Rong picked up a Dog Beating Staff, staying on the periphery and preparing at any suitable moment to deal Ouyang Feng a ruthless blow.
Facing the attacks of Northern Beggar and Guo Jing, Ouyang Feng defended with extreme difficulty, and they had now fought a dozen or so rounds.
Guo Jing used the lightness skill of "Snake-form Raccoon-roll" to entangle with Ouyang Feng. This was the lightness skill footwork from the "Nine Yin Manual", and the posture? Don't mention it; to put it bluntly, it was rolling around on the ground, flipping back and forth. The posture was quite ungraceful, but this lightness skill was top-tier for dodging attacks.
Northern Beggar struck Ouyang Feng's crown with a palm, and Ouyang Feng naturally was not stupid enough to ignore it, first putting aside the annoying Guo Jing and crossing his hands upward, wanting to use this to block the descending palm.
As a result, Hong Qi suddenly changed his palm into a claw, tightly grabbing Ouyang Feng's wrist. Although Guo Jing's brain was not nimble, his combat intuition was extremely formidable, and he seized the opportunity to bind Ouyang Feng's legs.
Huang Rong on the periphery finally waited for this opportunity, swiftly poking the major acupuncture points on the human body of Ouyang Feng with the tip of the Dog Beating Staff.
Seeing Ouyang Feng sealed by acupoints and unable to move, Hong Qi and Guo Jing breathed a sigh of relief at this, and the strength of their binding also decreased somewhat.
Just as expressions of joy appeared on their faces,
Ouyang Feng suddenly exerted force, instantly shaking off the two men Guo Jing and Hong Qi, and then delivered a Toad Skill straight to the head of Huang Rong, who was standing right in front of him looking immensely pleased with herself.
When "Toad Skill" was not charged up, although it could not reach the terrifying twentyfold power, relying on usual accumulation, every strike possessed fifteenfold palm force.
Huang Rong's martial arts basically relied on innate talent for cultivation, and she never practiced hard on ordinary days. She was formidable at bullying weaklings with her martial arts, but when facing true experts, she had nothing impressive to bring out. Facing the menacing palm strike, she was unable to dodge, and at this moment her final thought in her mind was: Is it ending just like this? Brother Jing!
The incident happened abruptly, and Guo Jing and Hong Qi were thrown off, failing to react at all.
Guo Jing, whose body was still flying backward in mid-air and had not yet landed, noticed Ouyang Feng's strike aimed at Huang Rong. He was also terrified and burned with agonizing anxiety, but it was completely too late for rescue, and he could only watch Huang Rong die a tragic death before his eyes.
Lin Chaoying's maidservant was actually the number one expert of the present age, yet she was killed by Ouyang Feng because she suffered this exact loss.
