Chapter 179 184, The Truth and the Trap!
Ouyang Feng, Guo Jing, and Huang Rong followed Xue Fei all the way to the gate of Yanziwu Manor. Before they entered, they heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from inside the manor. Then they saw a tall man in green clothes with a majestic aura striding out, bowing and smiling:
"I had originally planned to take the traitor Murong Fu to Xiangyang and summon fellow warriors for a public trial, but I didn't expect that Hero Guo and Heroine Huang would arrive first! I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person, please forgive me!"
This tall man is none other than the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, Ren Woxing.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong returned the greeting, and Guo Jing asked:
"Master Ren, you are too polite. Where is Master Murong?"
"It's in the manor."
Ren Woxing smiled and asked:
"Why, Master Guo, do you not believe that Murong Fu betrayed you? That's fine. We have already found the evidence and captured the man. Master Guo and Miss Huang can go and ask him. Please!"
Ren Woxing just glanced at Ouyang Feng indifferently, apparently treating this young man, who looked to be only in his early twenties and had a low-key and introverted aura, as a follower of Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong didn't say much and followed Ren Wo into the manor.
On the way, Huang Rong asked:
"Where is your sect's deputy leader from the East?"
Ren Woxing said, "Brother Dongfang is personally guarding Murong Fu. You two should know that Murong Fu is not an ordinary person. Although he has been injured by me and his power has been restricted, he still has the special skill of 'clone'. I'm afraid ordinary people really can't keep an eye on him."
Huang Rong nodded and said:
"Murong Fu's martial arts skills are extremely high. Fortunately, his clone technique is restrained by Master Ren's 'Shengguang' technique. Otherwise, it would be difficult to capture him."
Ren Woxing laughed, "Miss Huang is right. In terms of martial arts, Murong Fu and I are about evenly matched. Once he used his clone technique, eight clones with half his strength, plus his own attack, I was no match for him. Fortunately, his clone technique was restrained by my light-generating technique, and with the help of Brother Dongfang, I was able to capture him."
Ren Woxing's magical skill of "generating light" can make his whole body glow, making him look radiant and divine, like a celestial being.
And this strange skill is not only impressive and beautiful to look at, it also has the ability to break through all laws and keep evil spirits at bay.
People like Guo Jing's "great strength" and Huang Rong's "array of formations" are not that afraid of the "light-generating" technique.
However, techniques such as clones, invisibility, and even immobilization are all restrained by the technique of generating light.
When illuminated by the divine light, the clone will vanish into thin air, the invisible will become visible, and the immobilization will be broken.
Not only were their strange skills restrained, but they were also caught off guard. Their numbers and masters were far less than those of the Sun and Moon Sect. It was reasonable that Yanziwu suffered a crushing defeat, and everyone from Murong Fu down were captured.
Talking as they walked, Ren Woxing brought the three of them to the depths of Yanziwu Manor, a heavily guarded training ground guarded by many elders of the Sun Moon Sect.
There were several wooden frames on the training ground, and a person was tied to each frame.
One of them was Murong Fu, and the other three were Murong Fu's three generals Deng Baichuan, Gongye Qian, and Feng Bo'e.
The three generals were all covered with wounds, their collars were stained with blood, their mouths were stuffed with rags, and they were unconscious with their heads hung.
Murong Fu also had disheveled hair, a pale face, and his body was covered in blood stains and scars.
He was not unconscious, nor was his mouth gagged, but he did not yell or curse either. He just pursed his lips and stared at Ren Woxing with cold eyes.
Next to these four wooden frames, there is an armchair.
A man dressed in gorgeous brocade and women's clothes with makeup and paint on was sitting on a chair embroidering.
Seeing Ren Woxing coming, the man in women's clothing put down his work, stood up to greet him, and first showed Ren Woxing an uncomfortably feminine smile, and whispered, "Brother."
Then he bowed to Guo Jing and Huang Rong and said:
"Hero Guo, Heroine Huang."
This strange man in women's clothing should be Dongfang Bubai.
Ren Woxing nodded slightly to Dongfang Bubai, pointed at Murong Fu and said to Guo Jing and Huang Rong:
"Master Guo, Lady Huang, Murong Fu is right there, and his mouth is open. Just go and ask him."
Guo Jing nodded and was about to ask a question, but Huang Rong raised her hand to stop him:
"I'll go."
She walked forward and glanced at Murong Fu, who had a cold look in his eyes and pursed lips without saying a word. However, she did not ask him. Instead, she walked to Feng Boye, pulled the sackcloth out of his mouth, and pointed at him to wake him up. Just as she was about to ask a question, Feng Boye, who had just woken up, saw who was coming and immediately shouted at the top of his voice:
"Lady Huang, be careful! Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai are both fake, and my son has also defected to the enemy!"
Huang Rong was startled when she heard this. Just as she was about to pull back, the hemp rope on Murong Fu on the wooden frame next to her suddenly fell off, and he easily broke free from the restraints. At the same time, he spread his arms, flew over to Huang Rong, and laughed:
"Lady Huang, the Dragon Kings asked me to send you their regards!"
As he spoke, a smell of burning gunpowder wafted from his body.
at the same time.
Ren Woxing, who was standing behind Guo Jing, also laughed grimly and raised his palm to hit Guo Jing's back. Dongfang Bubai drew a samurai sword from his robe, swung it with a sharp blade, and attacked Guo Jing head-on.
Huang Rong's martial arts skills are far inferior to Murong Fu's.
Murong Fu suddenly attacked and pounced. Huang Rong had no way to dodge and did not have time to use her "array" magic. When she was about to be captured by Murong Fu, a palm force suddenly came from the side and hit Murong Fu with a bang, knocking him flying. Just as he was thrown about ten feet away, fire flashed on Murong Fu's body, and with a bang, he exploded into pieces.
When Murong Fu was knocked flying, Huang Rong tried her best to retreat and keep some distance. When the explosion occurred, she rolled on the ground and finally avoided the explosion range.
the other side.
When Ren Woxing suddenly attacked Guo Jing's back, a palm force came from the air and hit Ren Woxing in the ribs.
If Ren Woxing was determined to attack Guo Jing, this palm force from a distance would easily hit Ren Woxing's weak spot.
The one who sent out these two palm forces, knocking Murong Fu away and attacking Ren Woxing, was naturally Ouyang Feng.
Huang Rong was rescued by him, and although she escaped in a mess, she was not hurt.
But Ren Woxing's action was beyond Ouyang Feng's expectation. He ignored the fatal palm force that was aimed at his weak spot and continued to strike Guo Jing's back with his palm, as if he wanted to die together with Guo Jing.
Fortunately, Guo Jing was a martial arts expert, had experienced many battles, and was always secretly vigilant. He did not really trust Ren Woxing completely. When Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai attacked him from the front and back, he used his right hand to call "The Dragon Will Regret", and sent out a palm force of thirteen times the power of the previous palm, which blasted towards Dongfang Bubai who was swinging his sword.
At the same time, he performed the "Left and Right Fighting" move, and with his left hand he used the "Dragon Swinging Tail" move to counter Ren Woxing's palm force from behind.
Bang!
Amid the loud bangs, Guo Jing used the "Dragon's Tail" to block Ren Woxing's sneak attack, but the frontal palm force of the thirteenth level was unexpectedly broken by Dongfang Bubai's sword like splitting a waterfall. After that, the remaining force of the sword was not exhausted, and it hit Guo Jing's chest with a clang, tearing his clothes, revealing a dark golden armor covered with barbs.
Because Guo Jing was going to charge into battle, Huang Rong gave him the soft armor.
Guo Jing was unharmed, but Ren Woxing was hit in the soft spot by Ouyang Feng's side attack. He was thrown out with blood spurting out. He rolled on the ground for a few times and got up tremblingly. His face had become as pale as a deathly person, and his breath was like a candle in the wind. He looked like he would not live long, but there was still a hideous and sinister smile on his face.
Dongfang Bubai's attack was fruitless, and he was forced back by Guo Jing's continuous palm strikes. He frowned and looked at Guo Jing and Huang Rong who were unharmed, with a look of dissatisfaction. When he looked at Ouyang Feng again, his eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry.
"Brother Jing, are you okay?"
"Is Rong'er injured?"
After escaping danger, Guo Jing and Huang Rong first asked each other a question. Seeing that the other party was safe and sound, they were relieved and hurriedly thanked Ouyang Feng. "Now is not the time to talk about this."
Ouyang Feng strode to the front of Feng Bo'e and the other two, tore off the hemp ropes tied to them, and let them down. He then woke up Deng Baichuan and Gong Yeqian and asked:
"What exactly happened? Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai are fake, so what does this mean?"
Deng Baichuan, Gong Zhigan and Feng Bo'e supported each other and barely stood up. They glanced at the masters of the Sun and Moon Sect who were eyeing them covetously, and then looked at Ren Woxing who was obviously dying but looked indifferent. Grief and anger appeared in the eyes of the three of them.
"That's not Ren Woxing. Or rather, it's just an evil ghost in Ren Woxing's body!"
Deng Baichuan said in a deep voice:
"Master Ren may have been killed. Someone has used strange magic to occupy his body and impersonate Master Ren. As for Dongfang Bubai, he is not the real one. The real Dongfang Bubai likes to use embroidery needles, and his movements are extremely fast and unpredictable. But this Dongfang Bubai uses a Japanese samurai sword, and his movements are not that fast, but his sword skills are extremely sharp! His true identity is probably the swordsman of the Yagyu clan who was the first to surrender to the barbarians of Dragon Island!"
Ouyang Feng raised his eyebrows: "A swordsman from the Yagyu clan?"
This Huang Rong can explain:
"There are many Japanese warriors in Yingzhou who came here unexpectedly just like us. When the Longdao barbarians conquered Yingzhou, they subjugated the Japanese warrior group represented by the Yagyu clan. The head of the Yagyu clan, Yagyu Tajima no Kami, was a master of swordsmanship. His son Yagyu Jubei and eldest daughter Yagyu Yukihime also learned the true skills of Yagyu Tajima no Kami.
"When Longdao attacked Xiangyang, swordsmen from the Yagyu clan appeared on the battlefield many times. However, even the Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami's swordsmanship was not as good as this fake Dongfang Bubai. I don't know who this person is."
"I see." Ouyang Feng nodded, and then asked the three generals: "What's going on with Murong Fu?"
The three generals immediately looked ashamed, and also sad and angry.
Feng Bo'e's lips trembled twice and he said:
"Let's pretend that Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai came in person, carrying Dragon Island documents, crowns, scepters, swords and other items, and promised to make my son... Murong Fu a king. Murong Fu was persuaded by them to surrender to Dragon Island, and even set a trap to harm Hero Guo and Lady Huang. We tried to persuade them to no avail, so we were about to leave. Before leaving, Third Brother Bao said a few more words, and was stabbed in the back by Murong Fu...! The three of us were also injured and captured by Murong Fu!"
Gong Yeqian said, "The one who hid the gunpowder and tried to assassinate Lady Huang was just a clone of Murong Fu. His real body has gone somewhere, and he may be lurking in the dark, spying on her with the intention of assassinating her."
After hearing this, Guo Jing understood everything:
"So it wasn't just one family that defected to Dragon Island, but the Sun Moon Divine Sect and Murong Fu, both defected to Dragon Island! This so-called battle of the Sun Moon Divine Sect attacking Yanziwu was just a conspiracy by both parties to lure us into a trap!"
He looked at the elders and masters of the Sun Moon Sect who were watching eagerly around the training ground, and said in a deep voice:
"Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai are both fakes. Do you still want to continue following the fakes and become accomplices to the evil?"
The elders and masters of the Gods Religion all looked ashamed.
An old man holding a guqin sighed and said:
"We knew that the leader and deputy leader were both fakes, but we were poisoned by the 'Three Corpses Brain Pill' and have no choice..."
Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked heavy-hearted.
It's not that I'm worried about falling into a trap.
What really made them feel heavy-hearted was that if the top leaders of the Sun-Moon Divine Sect were all controlled by the counterfeiters using the "Three Corpses Brain Pill", then the Sun-Moon Divine Sect would be completely destroyed.
Coupled with Yanziwu, which took the initiative to surrender to Dragon Island, Xiangyang can now be said to be surrounded by Dragon Island forces from the north and south.
Ouyang Feng didn't have so many thoughts. He just looked at the fake Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai with interest and asked:
"Can you tell me how you replaced Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai?"
The fake Dongfang Bubai seemed to be quite interested in the strength displayed by Ouyang Feng's two palm strikes, or he was trying to delay some time, and said with a smile:
"It's okay to tell you, young master. Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai were both hit by the 'soul-stealing' technique, and their souls have been scattered. Later, someone used the 'divine movement' technique to take over Ren Woxing's body, obtained some of his memories and martial arts, successfully impersonated Ren Woxing, and also obtained the method of refining and detoxifying the Three Corpses Brain Pill. As for me..."
His body shape changed, and in a blink of an eye he turned from a strange man in women's clothing into a beautiful girl with charming eyes and bright features.
The girl held the long sword upside down and saluted Ouyang Feng with a fist:
"I am Yagyu Piaoxu, the second daughter of Yagyu Tajima no Kami, and I am honored to meet you, sir. My transformation technique is called 'false form', which is one of the seventy-two earthly magics. I can disguise myself as anyone seamlessly."
"Your transformation technique is indeed magical." Ouyang Feng nodded and praised: "When you transformed into a man, even I couldn't detect any flaws in your aura."
Liu Sheng Piaoxu smiled sweetly:
"Dongfang Bubai is just a eunuch, not a man."
Huang Rong frowned and said:
"I didn't expect that Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami had a second daughter who possessed extraordinary skills and whose swordsmanship was even better than his."
Liu Sheng Piao Xu said sweetly:
"I didn't mean to hide it, but my swordsmanship has only recently reached a high level, so my father allowed me to go out and make merit."
Huang Rong asked:
"Who was it that used the magic of soul-stealing to capture the souls of Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai?"
Liu Sheng Piao Xu smiled and said:
"It's the little lady."
"You also know the art of capturing souls?" Ouyang Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, "You actually possess two strange arts at the same time?"
"That's not the case. As far as Piaoxu knows, all those who saw the bronze gate and gained supernatural powers when they descended can only possess one supernatural power, and no one has ever broken through this limit. However, the supernatural power of 'soul-stealing' has its own mysteries. Those who possess this power can seal it into certain objects in advance and let others perform it. This is how I performed the soul-stealing power."
Ouyang Feng nodded and said:
"So that's how it is. Since you have the skill of 'false form', you should have used it to transform yourself into someone close to Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing, approached them and suddenly attacked them, taking away their souls. After that, another person used the magic of 'divine movement' to leave his body and occupy Ren Woxing's body, and you transformed into Dongfang Bubai.
"You two took advantage of your identities and used the Three Corpses Brain Pill to control the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Divine Sect one by one, forcing them to work for you... It is precisely because of this that Ren Woxing did not care about being seriously injured and dying, because this was not his body in the first place."
Liu Sheng Piao Xu said with a smile:
"Your guess is correct. This is exactly the case. But after chatting for so long, I still don't know your name."
Ouyang Feng said calmly: "My surname is Ouyang, and my given name is Feng."
"Ouyang Feng?"
When this name came out, Liu Sheng Piaoxu, Jia Ren Woxing and other elders and masters of the Sun Moon Sect were all stunned, and then surprised.
Liu Sheng Piao Xu chuckled and said:
"Why are you kidding me, sir? The Western Poison Ouyang Feng is not as young and handsome as you are..."
Ouyang Feng said calmly:
"Just think of me as having the same name as the West Poison."
Then he looked up at the sky:
"It's been delayed for so long, Feilong has arrived."
Guo Jing and Huang Rong were startled and looked up, and saw three small dots in the sky, hovering over Yanziwu. They looked closely and saw that they were indeed flying dragons.
At this time, a long, triumphant laugh was heard again.
Amidst the long laughter, a handsome man in brocade clothes and holding a long sword walked leisurely over and said to Guo Jing and Huang Rong with a smile:
"City Lord Guo, Madam Guo, we meet again!"
It was like another Murong Fu.
