Chapter 7 Outwardly Cowardly, Inwardly Strong
Xiaoqing's swordsmanship is as fast as lightning; it is the Thunderclap Sword Technique passed down from Guo Furong's mother.
With a flick of her wrist, she unleashed a swift movement, like a snake emerging from its hole, her figure suddenly leaping forward. Her sword moved so fast that it left only a blur, aiming straight for Gu Qianbei's throat.
Gu Qianbei's expression turned solemn, his golden claws gleaming with a cold, hard luster. He suddenly raised them and precisely aimed at Xiaoqing's sword.
Ding!
The golden claw clashed with the longsword, producing a crisp metallic clang.
The force of the impact made Xiaoqing's fingertips slightly numb.
Surprised, Xiaoqing's eyes sharpened, and with a flick of her wrist, her longsword slashed diagonally along the arc of the golden claw, increasing the speed of her sword and striking Gu Qianbei's wrist with such speed that no one could react in time!
Upon seeing this, Gu Qianbei immediately withdrew and retreated, his golden claws snapping back to block the swift sword strike!
When one move failed, Xiaoqing attacked again and again, her sword shadows dense and numerous, all aimed at Gu Qianbei's vital points.
Seeing this attack, Gu Qianbei knew that he was not fast enough to block it all.
He immediately clasped his hands together and raised the power of the Golden Light Mantra to its limit.
"My body is bathed in golden light, which envelops me!"
The Golden Light Mantra enveloped Gu Qianbei's entire body like armor.
No matter how the longsword slashed and thrust, it could not budge it in the slightest.
"this……"
Xiaoqing was so shocked that she didn't know how to fight for a moment.
In the past, she was able to overwhelm her opponents with her extremely fast swordsmanship and then achieve victory.
But this time, her usually invincible swordsmanship failed her.
Although her sword could touch Gu Qianbei, Gu Qianbei's golden aura provided formidable defense. Her sword strike only produced a thud and did not cause any damage.
On the contrary, when Gu Qianbei's golden claws attacked earlier, she was quite frightened and dared not be careless.
He was terrified that the claw would strike him and cause him serious injury.
But just as Xiaoqing and Gu Qianbei were locked in a fierce battle, Guo Furong was suddenly chosen by Bai Zhantang.
This threw Xiaoqing into complete disarray.
"Miss!"
Xiaoqing's exclamation revealed a flaw to Gu Qianbei.
"A great opportunity!"
Gu Qianbei concealed the sharpness of the golden claw and concentrated it on his index finger.
A three-inch-long golden gleam suddenly appeared on his index finger.
The next moment, Gu Qianbei quickly approached Xiaoqing and placed the three-inch golden light against her throat.
"Don't move, you've lost."
Gu Qianbei's cold voice rang out, and Xiaoqing felt a chill on her neck, daring not to make the slightest movement.
"Oh no, I was careless."
Xiaoqing felt remorseful, but by then it was too late and there was nothing she could do.
"Old Bai, light this one too. Call Officer Xing over later and give it to him together."
Gu Qianbei smiled and looked at Bai Zhantang.
"it is good."
Having already shown his skills, Bai Zhantang decided to go all out and immediately attacked, striking Xiao Qing.
"Ding, Bai Zhantang has been detected to be outwardly timid but inwardly strong. This has been automatically captured. The host can add this to the Sunflower Sunflower Brew to improve its quality."
Gu Qianbei only felt an invisible mass of energy emerge from Bai Zhantang's body and be swallowed by the system.
"You can do that?"
Gu Qianbei clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself, "System, what's going on? What's the use of this?"
"The wine produced by the system is no ordinary fine wine. If you can find the aura of a martial arts character that corresponds to it, the quality of the wine will be greatly improved."
Sunflower-infused wine is already a fine brew, but when imbued with Bai Zhantang's unique essence, it's elevated to an exceptional level!
"I see."
In that sense, Sunflower Sunflower Wine and Bai Zhantang are indeed a good match.
For a moment, Gu Qianbei's anticipation for the reward from the Sunflower Sun-Facing Brew grew even stronger.
Closer to home.
With the male and female duo subdued, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old Bai, I didn't expect you to be such a hidden master. Your cultivation level is at least at the Innate Realm, right?"
Gu Qianbei looked at Bai Zhantang with a smile, and Bai Zhantang sighed helplessly.
"I retired from the martial arts world two years ago and stopped using martial arts. I never thought I would break my vow today."
"Even if you retire from the martial arts world, you don't need to seal away your martial arts skills, do you? You're putting one thing before another."
Running an inn is a high-risk business. If you have this skill, you should hone it and protect everyone at the inn.
Otherwise, if you encounter a pair of ruthless individuals, are you just supposed to close your eyes and wait to die?
"Well...you're right. And you're one to criticize me, your martial arts just now weren't simple either. What was it called?"
"The Golden Light Mantra is one of the eight great divine mantras of Taoism. However, my cultivation level is still far from sufficient."
Although Gu Qianbei said that, he was quite satisfied with his first battle.
Although he used a trick, he did indeed defeat Xiaoqing despite being of a higher level.
Before long, Xiaoqing and Guo Furong were tied up by the crowd. Li Dazui was called out to find Constable Xing, while the others guarded the two at the inn.
"We, the male and female heroes, are defeated by you. Kill us or do whatever you want with us!"
Guo Furong said with a defiant expression.
"Want to kill or torture us? Do you think we're heartless people like you? Wait till we get to the authorities, then you'll be ready to properly repent for your crimes!"
Tong Xiangyu said angrily.
The negative impact of the male and female duo has been ongoing for some time, and Tong Xiangyu is also holding back her anger.
Now that the mastermind has finally been captured, she is in high spirits.
"We are acting on behalf of Heaven! We need no repentance! It is you wicked people who harm the people who will one day be eliminated by righteous people like us!"
Guo Furong remained stubborn, showing no sign that she had done anything wrong.
Gu Qianbei shook his head.
"Manager Tong, these two young ladies seem to think they're doing something chivalrous. Now it seems they might be out of their minds."
"Tell them how much harm their so-called 'acting on behalf of Heaven' has actually caused to the common people."
"good!"
Tong Xiangyu gladly accepted the lecturing job, as it was a perfect match for her major.
Before long, thanks to Tong Xiangyu's silver tongue, Guo Furong and Xiaoqing finally realized just how wrong they had been.
The beggar Xiao Mi appeared at just the right moment and condemned the two men for their crimes.
For a moment, both Guo Furong and Xiaoqing began to question the meaning of life.
Gu Qianbei didn't care about this.
Because he knew that, according to the plot, Guo Furong would most likely stay at the inn to explore other possibilities in life.
After all, Guo Furong had just been thrown into Tongfu Inn by his Golden Light Spell, and had damaged quite a few things.
Everything is proceeding according to the original trajectory.
At this moment, Gu Qianbei was discussing martial arts with Bai Zhantang.
"Old Bai, that Sunflower Acupuncture Technique you just used was really cool! Can you teach me? If you do, you can drink for free every time you come to my place, how about it?"
Bai Zhantang's eyes lit up immediately.
This is actually a pretty good offer for him.
Gu Qianbei made the direct request to learn the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique because he knew that Bai Zhantang was not the type of person who was unwilling to teach martial arts.
In the original story, he taught the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique to Zhan Hongling, Mo Xiaobei, Lü Xiucai, Li Dazui, Qian Zhanggui, and others, which shows that he did not care about the spread of this martial art.
Given the right opportunity and resources, one can learn this acupressure technique from Bai Zhantang.
"It's a deal! I'll come to your shop tomorrow night to teach you."
As expected, Bai Zhantang agreed without much hesitation.
The prospect of unlimited drinks was incredibly tempting for him these days.
"it is good."
Gu Qianbei smiled with satisfaction; his goal had been achieved.
