A chilling intent quickly surfaced in his eyes as his thoughts raced.
The next second, Murong Fu, who had been standing on the deck, instantly leaped up and rushed towards Qu Feiyan and the other two women, who were several feet away.
However, the moment Murong Fu moved, Lianxing, who was sitting next to Chu Qinghe, narrowed her eyes, patted the armrest of her chair, and then flashed in front of Qu Feiyan and the other two women.
Murong Fu's pupils constricted sharply when he saw Lianxing appear in front of the three women as if she had teleported.
"Why is it so fast?"
Before Murong Fu could think any further, a powerful repulsive force came from Lianxing, causing the unsuspecting Murong Fu to stiffen abruptly.
Immediately afterward, from Murong Fu's eyes, Lianxing lightly slapped his palm down.
Murong Fu dared not be careless in response and also struck out with his palm towards Lianxing.
"boom"
As their palms met, a violent shockwave instantly erupted from the two of them, causing Lianxing and Murong Fu's clothes to flutter loudly.
In the instant the aftershocks erupted, Chu Qinghe lightly tapped his finger holding the folding fan, and sword energies instantly formed a new encirclement around the two of them.
Despite the frenzied churning of these sword energies, the aftershocks of the battle around the two individuals did not dissipate in the slightest.
Even Qu Feiyan and the other girls, who were less than three feet behind Lianxing, did not sense anything unusual.
In the arena, after a brief pause, Murong Fu suddenly took several steps back.
With each step backward, the wooden plank beneath their feet would crack and create a hole.
Seeing this scene, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness.
"Damn it! We'll have to lose money again later."
As Murong Fu retreated several steps, he felt his blood surging violently throughout his body, and his face turned a terrifying red. When he looked at Lian Xing opposite him, his horror intensified.
"How is that possible?"
Sensing something was wrong, Murong Fu quickly drew his longsword and thrust it straight at Lianxing once more.
Seeing this, Lianxing snorted softly and floated forward like a kite. With a flick of her right hand, Murong Fu instantly felt a special force binding the longsword in his hand. The longsword that was originally stabbing towards Lianxing suddenly slowed down, and the tip of the sword seemed to be deflected by an invisible force, turning to the side.
At the same time, Lianxing's hand struck directly at Murong Fu's chest.
Upon witnessing this scene, Murong Fu was greatly alarmed. He forcefully channeled his inner energy, drew his sword, and held it in front of him, pointing the blade at Lianxing.
But as the sword blade flashed through the air, Lianxing unleashed a burst of palm force, pushing Murong Fu back ten feet.
However, before Murong Fu could regain his footing, a powerful suction force instantly enveloped him and pulled him toward Lian Xing.
Seeing this, Murong Fu circulated his true energy, and as his long sword stood upright, he pointed his index finger at Lianxing with the "Canhe Finger" technique, concentrating it in the air.
But the moment this finger force appeared, the finger force, which should have been as fast as a shooting star, was instead as slow as a snail climbing. After traveling nearly three inches, it was worn down by the special energy around Lianxing and had no effect on her at all.
Left with no other choice, Murong Fu could only hastily raise his sword to face him once more.
However, no matter how Murong Fu changed his moves, Lianxing remained standing still, responding with the "Transferring Flowers and Jade" technique, her palm strikes elusive and ghostly.
Unlike Lianxing's calm and composed demeanor, Murong Fu, who was standing next to Lianxing, was sweating profusely, completely suppressed by her.
Chu Qinghe took in the battle between Murong Fu and Lianxing, but gently shook his head.
Although the battle between Murong Fu and Lianxing was not clearly visible at this moment, Lianxing had basically not moved for more than ten breaths.
His face even carried a hint of contempt and disdain.
Therefore, judging from Lianxing's appearance alone, Qu Feiyan and the other two women were well aware of the situation.
Immediately, Qu Feiyan, who had retreated to Chu Qinghe's side, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Young Master, isn't Murong Fu extremely famous in the Song Dynasty? How come he seems to be handling Lianxing's expression so easily now?"
In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe said lazily, "His martial arts are numerous and varied. In the few dozen breaths he has exchanged with Lianxing, he has already used thirty-seven different martial arts. However, each martial art is at most at the level of 'being proficient', not even reaching the level of 'mastery'. How high can his strength be?"
The worst thing for a martial artist is to be a jack of all trades and master of none. Whether it's the three women, Shui Mu Yin Ji, or Lian Xing and Qu Fei Yan, they all emphasize mastering one martial art. They even go so far as to integrate this martial art with their own martial arts to form a unique fighting style before moving on to other martial arts.
However, Murong Fu was too clever for his own good, practicing different martial arts at the same time, and only learning a little bit of each one.
If it's someone with a lower cultivation level than yourself, it might be quite good, and you can even give them the impression of being knowledgeable.
However, if they encounter someone stronger, such as Ye Gucheng or Ximen Chuixue, they would appear to be all show and no substance.
Just like Lianxing now, she didn't even use sword intent or "Yan Yu Cang Lan Jin". She was able to suppress Murong Fu completely by relying solely on the "return to simplicity" "Yi Hua Jie Yu".
If they were placed in the same realm, even Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao, and Lin Shiyin could easily defeat them.
The name "Southern Murong" is largely exaggerated.
Hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Lin Shiyin asked, "But this Murong Fu is known as one of the best among the younger generation in the Song Dynasty, and is ranked alongside Qiao Feng of the Northern Beggars' Clan, enjoying the reputation of 'Murong in the South, Qiao Feng in the North.' Why is his strength so poor?"
