Chapter 18 Ye Dahai's Masterstroke

  Ye Wen stood in the crowd, watching the fight with relish, occasionally calculating in his heart how many moves it would take for him to take down these two people if he were to go on stage. After watching several rounds, he found that although the skills of these people were stronger than his own six months ago, they were only slightly stronger.

  Now that he has learned the authentic Quanzhen Heart Method and started practicing internal martial arts, achieving some success, these people are no longer in his eyes.

  "If the disciples of the various sects around Shu Shan are all at this level, then I won't have to worry about it in the future!" Ye Wen observed for a moment and found that the development prospects of Shu Shan Sect were much better than he had expected. As long as he maintained his current progress, he was afraid that it would not take two years for him to sweep across Shu Shan, and at that time, unifying all the sects on Shu Shan would not be impossible.

  Just as he was optimistic about the future of Shushan Sect and his own, unexpectedly, the guy who had just won in the arena seemed to recognize him, and with one mouthful, it was words that made him very angry.

  Just as he was about to retort, the other person opened his mouth again and continued: "Ye Dazhangmen, why don't I see your junior sister? Isn't she ashamed of you being too incompetent and gone to find another man?"

  After finishing speaking, he burst out laughing twice, completely unaware that Ye Wen's gaze had already turned cold.

  At the same time, he also didn't notice Yue Hang sitting not far away, who had already furrowed his brow upon hearing these words. Originally intending to invite this victorious man over, he began to have doubts about the man's character due to these remarks.

  "What's his story? What conflict does he have with that young man?"

  There were too many people coming today, so he couldn't remember the identity and background of these people. Although most people would report their names and schools during the match, but just now Yue Hang was a little distracted, so he didn't remember this person's origin.

  However, the people around him were paying close attention to the situation on the field, especially the middle-aged man who had been standing beside him. After the head of the escort asked the question, he immediately replied: "This person is Yu Dahai, the deputy leader of Liu Zhangbang. He indeed has some skills and is good at using a set of six combined palms. Moreover, Liu Zhangbang has some influence in the west of the city!"

  It's just that this middle-aged man's tone is quite disdainful, apparently he doesn't think much of this so-called Liu Zhang Gang. This is also because the Yue Shan Escort Agency in Shu Shan County is considered a top-notch force, which can be seen from the fact that as soon as they put out the word to ask for help, so many people came, and they are all willing to follow the Yue Shan Escort Agency's arrangement and compete with each other.

  In addition to this middle-aged man who has been following the head of the escort, Yue Hang, traveling all over the country for many years, he has also seen a lot of real masters of Jianghu. Even those famous knights from the big schools have had the good fortune to meet one or two, so his vision is as high as that of Yue Hang's, and he really can't see much in these 'country bumpkins' who can't even get out of the county town.

  "What about that young man?" Upon hearing this, Yue Hang roughly had an idea, but he was very curious why there was no mention of that young man.

  The middle-aged man next to him pondered for a moment, and finally said with some hesitation: "If we infer from what Da Hai just said, this young man should be Ye Wen, the former leader of Shu Shan Sect who was destroyed by Zheng Quan Men half a year ago."

  "Has the sect been destroyed?" Yue Hang said this sentence without showing any surprise, because he had also heard about the situation on Book Mountain, where there were many sects, big and small, and it was almost a daily occurrence for a sect to be destroyed or annexed.

  The middle-aged man next to him nodded: "Not only was the school sign stolen, but also lost its residence! More importantly, he lost very badly at that time. In just a few moves, he was defeated by Zhengquanmen and became a laughing stock in the mouths of various schools on Shushan for a while!"

  Yue Hangyi no longer paid attention to Ye Wen after hearing this, in his opinion, such a small door and household, and even being destroyed by the sect's fallen master, was probably not very powerful. This time, even if he was ridiculed in front of him, he could only swallow his anger.

  As for Ye Wen appearing here, he didn't think it was strange. Since his sect had been destroyed, he must be struggling to make a living and needed money, so he came here to try his luck. However, he didn't think Ye Wen would be the kind of good hand he needed.

  Ye Wen did not know about these things because he had been hiding in the mountains to cultivate for half a year, and thus avoided the embarrassment of being ridiculed by others.

  This matter can't be avoided, this time Ye Wen came down the mountain and met with fellow Jianghu practitioners on Book Mountain for the first time, but was slapped in the face by someone.

  Ye Wen's face looked exceptionally ugly at this time, although he knew that his previous loss was so miserable that it would inevitably be ridiculed by those who knew the inside story. But when such a thing really happened, even though he had been prepared for it, it still felt extremely unpleasant.

  What's even more unbearable is that the person who is currently mocking me, someone who in my eyes is nothing but a worthless existence, is being mocked by someone weaker than myself. The feeling is really indescribable.

  "My junior fellow apprentice is doing well, no need for you to worry!"

  He coldly replied with a sentence, and Ye Wen subsequently stepped into the arena: "As for whether my kung fu has made any progress, I'd like to ask you to comment on it!"

  For this kind of person, Ye Wen doesn't have that so-called idea of 'a dog bites a man and the man can't bite the dog back!' which he thinks is very strange. If he were to say it, if a person is bitten by a dog, then naturally they would cut the dog into eight pieces to vent their anger, what nonsense about not stooping to the level of 'lower creatures' is just self-deception.

  Don't mention dogs, even if it's just an insect that bites a person, the person will hate to tear that insect into pieces!

  And this guy in front of him, although he's already a nobody in his eyes, still decided to teach him a lesson, make him know that he's not someone who can be bullied at will, anyone who provokes him must be prepared to suffer his revenge.

  Besides, with so many people here today, making a good impression can also make up for the not-so-good reputation that already exists, and may even regain some prestige.

  Yu Dahu thought that Ye Wen would endure the humiliation and not dare to confront him, after all, in his impression, this kid's kung fu was too weak, anyone with a bit of self-awareness wouldn't come out and challenge him at this time.

  So he guessed that Ye Wen would either shut up and pretend to be stupid or leave in shame, out of sight, out of mind.

  But he didn't expect Ye Wen to actually step into the arena and challenge him.

  "I heard this kid loves reading books, has he gone crazy from reading?"

  But whether Ye Wen is foolish or not has little to do with him, and he doesn't mind teaching this ignorant kid a lesson in public.

  "If Master Ye has such a noble interest, I will certainly accompany him!"

  After finishing speaking, he struck a pose and made a provocative gesture. The meaning was very simple and straightforward, almost everyone in the scene understood Yu Dahai's intention in an instant: Let you attack first!

  Ye Wen saw this and coldly laughed, his long sword still sheathed, directly using 10% of his strength to slap the palm towards Yu Da Hai.

  This palm was originally ordinary and unremarkable, just a straightforward palm without any fancy moves or follow-up changes, but because it was powered by internal energy, this palm became incredibly powerful.

  Perhaps in the eyes of a true master, Ye Wen's palm was nothing special and no different from those ordinary disciples of major sects. But to these super low-hands who couldn't even make sense of the county town, it was vastly different.

  In the vast ocean, Ye Wen's palm strike was so powerful that it felt like an overwhelming pressure was coming at him. Before the palm even reached his body, he felt a kind of pressure he had never encountered before rushing towards him. He didn't have time to react or respond before his vision blurred and a sharp pain shot through his chest. Then, his entire body flew backward uncontrollably, like a kite with its string cut, flying far away.

  If it weren't for the 'spectators' standing not far behind him who supported him, Yu Dahai might have fallen to the ground in a very embarrassing posture. But even if he didn't fall, his face was still thoroughly lost.

  He had just mocked Ye Wen in front of everyone, but didn't expect to be slapped flying out in less than a cup of tea's time, along with spitting out several mouthfuls of blood - although the surrounding onlookers caught him, letting him avoid falling directly to the ground. However, Ye Wen hated his harsh words, and this slap was made with 100% strength, having started gathering energy in his palm from the moment he stepped into the arena, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and give his opponent a surprise.

  Moreover, Yu Da Hai was completely unguarded and was severely injured by Ye Wen's single palm strike, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood before barely recovering slightly.

  "Internal Family Palm Power?"

  Although the kung fu in the ocean is loose, it has been practiced for over 10 years, and even if I haven't come into contact with real internal school palm methods, after mixing for so many years, I've still heard something.

  When I was slapped flying, I wasn't quite sure yet, but when I felt like my body had opened a pot, and all five internal organs were in pain, obviously suffering from severe internal injuries, I immediately realized that I had been injured by the legendary Neijia Palm Power.

  But when he realized that Ye Wen had actually used an internal family palm technique that ordinary Jianghu people only heard of but never saw, he finally realized how big a fool he had made of himself this time, and was afraid that there would be no chance to recover from it. Even if Ye Wen's future prospects were ordinary, they were not something that someone like him who could only rely on some mediocre skills to show off in the local area could compare with.

  Yue Hang, who was also aware that Ye Wen's move was an internal family palm, had been sitting there all along. Originally, he didn't care about this match. Although the fight looked like a private grudge.

  The rivers and lakes are like this, with countless life-and-death struggles caused by personal grievances. Yue Hang didn't have any desire to intervene, he just had a bad impression of Yu Dahai who spoke unpleasantly, and made up his mind not to invite him this time. As for Ye Wen, he didn't have any particular opinion about him.

  Until Ye Wen stood out, and with one palm, Yu Dahai was sent flying with a mouthful of blood. Only then did he realize that he had misjudged him, this so-called "Ye Palm Gate" was actually a true master who understood internal strength! - In Shushan County, those who understand internal strength can be considered as such.
