Yours truly, Ouyang Feng

Chapter 59: 59, One Dragon King Is Enough in This World
"The rebel king harms the wind?"

When the five riders galloped past, Lin Chaoying said to Ouyang Feng:

"Did you hear that? Wang Haifeng is going to be eliminated again!"

"Yes." Ouyang Feng asked, "Where is Zhou Zuling Mountain?"

"It is just east of Gyeongju County. It is named Zhouzuling Mountain because there is a tomb of Buqiu, an ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty, on the top of the mountain."

"Sister Lin is really familiar with the geography of Guanzhong."

"I am originally from Guanzhong, and my home is in Huayin County, Jingzhao Prefecture Road. Besides, I took this road when I went to Xixia before." Lin Chaoying answered, and then asked him: "Are you going to Zhou Zuling to join in the fun?"

Ouyang Feng nodded: "Of course. I traveled thousands of miles this time just to meet the masters of the world and verify what I have learned. This time, the Jin Kingdom encircled and suppressed Wang Haifeng and sent out those masters from the royal family. It's a good opportunity to test my skills with them."

Lin Chaoying smiled and said, "That's what I was thinking. I've heard of Wang Haifeng's reputation since I was thirteen or fourteen years old. I've long admired his name. Today is the right time for me to go and see for myself what kind of person this hero is who has fought against the Jin for many years, has been repeatedly executed many times, but is still alive and kicking."

The two of them then displayed their skills and ran towards Qingzhou County. After arriving at the county, they went around the city and headed east.

On the way, Ouyang Feng asked Lin Chaoying:

"Sister Lin, have you heard of the reputation of the Jin Dynasty's royal family masters?"

Lin Chaoying shook her head:

"I've never heard of him. Since he is a member of the Jin royal family, he may have only served in the Jin army before and never walked the rivers and lakes. Of course, he may just be a master who is hyped up."

Ouyang Feng said:
"The fact that they dare to encircle and suppress Wang Haifeng is probably not just a boast."

Lin Chaoying was surprised:
"What do you know about Wang Haifeng's martial arts?"

"I don't know. But he started fighting against the Jin army when you were thirteen or fourteen years old, and he has persisted until now and has not been wiped out. Even though Wang Haifeng only knew how to ride and shoot at the beginning of the army, after more than ten years of life and death training, I am afraid he has become a great master."

"That's true."

"What about the Yellow River Gang? Sister Lin, have you ever heard of it?"

"The Yellow River Gang is quite famous. It is a large gang that does business on the Yellow River. There are many gang members, good and bad, doing business in both the black and white worlds. The upper echelons of the gang are keen on currying favor with the powerful people of the Jin Kingdom, and often send out experts to work for the Jin Kingdom. They are loyal lackeys of the Jin Kingdom."

Ouyang Feng asked again:
"Who are the masters of the Yellow River Gang?"

Lin Chaoying tells the story:
"The current leader of the Yellow River Gang, 'Yellow River Dragon King' Yue Xihong, became famous at a young age. He is highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless. When he was in his twenties, he defeated a group of uncles and succeeded to the position of leader of the Yellow River Gang. It has been more than 20 years since then. He has managed the Yellow River Gang to be prosperous and has tens of thousands of gang members. His signature skill is the 'Dragon Gate Wave-Boring Palm'. It is said that the palm power is like the Yellow River, unstoppable..."

Yellow River Dragon King?

Hearing this, Ouyang Feng thought to himself:

It seems that not only the title of "Five Tigers" is a bit overused, but the title of "Dragon King" is also a bit too much.

Why do we need so many Dragon Kings in this world?

This is not the world of Journey to the West, where there is a Dragon King squatting in even the well.

While I was thinking, I heard Lin Chaoying continue:
"Yue Xihong's junior fellow 'Green Dragon' Situ Qing has also been famous for many years. His martial arts skills are not as good as his senior brother's, but he is amazing in the water. It is said that he is not only more flexible than a fish in the water, but can also hold his breath for a meal underwater. If you fight underwater, even if your martial arts skills are better than his, you will die under his hands. In the Yellow River Gang, the most famous masters are the brothers Yue Xihong and Situ Qing. As for the others, their martial arts skills are mediocre, at most comparable to the Qinling Five Tigers and Fu Dahai, not worth mentioning."

In fact, warriors like the Five Tigers of Qinling and Fu Dahai can be regarded as the backbone masters who dominate the Central Plains and Jiangnan where there are many masters. Ordinary warriors are no match for them.

But such a master is nothing in front of Lin Chaoying - she and Hong Qi have no internal strength, and even their bones and muscles are not strong enough. They are half-disabled like patients, but they can kill Fu Dahai together. They have such confidence. Ouyang Feng asked again:
"What about the 'Five Tigers and Eight Eagles' of the Yellow River Gang?"

Lin Chaoying replied:
"I have never heard of the title of Five Tigers and Eight Eagles before. Look at the five riders just now. They are not very old. They are all in their early twenties, about the same age as Hong Qi. They must be disciples of Yue Xihong and Situ Qing. Maybe they are just newcomers and are going out into the martial arts world for the first time?"

Ouyang Feng was thoughtful:
"If they are new disciples, they may be led by a master. The Green Dragon Situ Qing of the Yellow River Gang and even the Yellow River Dragon King Yue Xihong may also be here this time."

Lin Chaoying smiled and said:
"Isn't this better? You want to meet the world's best masters to verify your martial arts skills. I also want to try out my current martial arts skills and see if they are useful against masters other than you."

The two men talked as they walked, and soon they saw a checkpoint in the distance. Two yamen runners and a dozen militia archers were checking passers-by there. It was obviously set up to wipe out the "Wang Haifeng Bandit Gang."

However, those yamen runners and local soldiers looked lazy and unmotivated, and it was obvious that they were not very enthusiastic about the bandit suppression.

Ouyang Feng and Lin Chaoying did not want to make things difficult for these low-class people who were forced to work for them, so they were about to bypass the checkpoint from the nearby woods. Just as they stepped into the woods beside the road, they heard a burst of hurried horse hooves.

The two men stopped and looked towards the road outside the forest, wanting to see if there were any more bandit-suppressing experts coming.

Soon, a group of ten or so riders came into view. The leader was a man in green with a ghost-head broadsword on his back. He shouted at the sentry post from a distance:

"The Huashan Sect has been summoned by General Wanyan to help suppress the Wang Haifeng gang! Get out of the way!"

This man had quite a bit of internal strength, and the sound of his body was louder than the sound of horse hooves, and could be heard far away at the checkpoint.

Seeing their aggressive approach, the people at the checkpoint hurriedly moved away the wooden fences blocking the way and retreated to the side of the road.

Ouyang Feng looked surprised and asked Lin Chaoying:

"Is there a Huashan Sect on Mount Hua now?"

Lin Chaoying had said before that her home was in Huayin County, which was at the foot of Mount Hua. So she must be very familiar with the martial arts world of Mount Hua.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chaoying also looked confused:
"I have been away from home for only half a year. There was no Huashan Sect before I left. How come a Huashan Sect suddenly appeared in just half a year? But the riders in the lead do look familiar. I seem to have seen them somewhere..."

Just as they were wondering, the fierce rider had already rushed past them. Lin Chaoying saw one of the men in the team, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She shouted:

"Baoqin, why are you here?"

As soon as the voice came out, a skinny rider in black among the cavalry was startled, stopped his horse abruptly, stood up with his feet on the stirrups, and stretched his neck to look around.

Seeing Lin Chaoying coming out of the forest, the skinny rider's eyes suddenly lit with surprise, and he jumped off the horse with a light and graceful posture. He actually used the same Qinggong skills as Lin Chaoying, but they were a little immature and not as skillful as Lin Chaoying.

"Miss, why are you here? Baoqin has been looking for you for a long time!"

After the skinny rider dismounted, he walked a few steps to Lin Chaoying, looked up at her, his eyes full of crystal mist and his expression a little aggrieved.

Ouyang Feng, who followed Lin Chaoying out, only then discovered that this rider in black tights, thin figure, with a long sword on his back, was actually a naive, childish girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Based on the way she addressed Lin Chaoying and the lightness skill she just displayed, Ouyang Feng almost guessed her identity.

This little girl is probably Lin Chaoying's personal maid, who will be the second-generation leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect in the future in another world line, as well as the master of Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu.

In addition, her future death seemed to be caused by the old poisoner Ouyang Feng.
