Yours truly, Ouyang Feng

Chapter 62 Chapter 62, Smiling Face Hiding a Dagger
"Lu Zhishen, Lin Daiyu? Forgive my ignorance, but where are you two heroes from? What school of thought did you follow?"

At the gate of the village on the other side of the river, a young man dressed in a scholar's blue shirt, holding a folding fan, with a gentle appearance, fair complexion and feminine complexion, smiled and asked Ouyang Feng and Lin Chaoying, and his attitude seemed quite polite.

Ouyang Feng said: "We two have no sect or school, we are just wanderers. This time when we were visiting Huashan, we passed by Huayin County and saw the government notice, so we volunteered to help suppress the Wang Haifeng gang, one to make a name for ourselves, and the other to gain a good reputation."

The scholar in blue robes said with a smile:
"I see. It is great that the two heroes are willing to serve the imperial court, but the bandit leader Wang Haifeng is a very skilled martial artist, and the bandits under his command are all vicious monsters who have lived on the edge of a knife for many years..."

As he spoke, he folded his folding fan, put it into his belt, and raised his hand to invite the two of them.

"I'm being presumptuous and want to try my hand at fighting with you two. It's not that I look down on your skills, but I'm worried that I don't know your martial arts foundation and put you in the wrong position, which may harm your future or even your life."

Aren't more cannon fodder better?
Will the people in the government also sympathize with the warriors in the civilian community?

The government must be hoping that the civilian warriors and Wang Chongyang's rebel army will fight to the death, and that the resentment between the two sides will grow deeper and deeper, right?

Something doesn't feel right.

Ouyang Feng thought about it in his heart, but his face remained calm and he asked:
"How would you like to try it, sir?"

"It's very simple." The young scholar raised his palm, "Try your inner strength, and stop when you are satisfied."

Ouyang Feng nodded slightly, raised his hand and lightly touched it with the young scholar's palm.

Bang!
With a slight sound, a gentle energy emanated from the point where the two palms touched, brushing their sleeves.

Ouyang Feng shook his body, took a half step back, and said with a folded hand:
"Your skill is unfathomable. I admire you!"

The young scholar laughed and bowed to Ouyang Feng:

"Brother Lu is so young, but his inner strength is so strong and fierce. He has a bright future!"

He looked at Lin Chaoying again and raised his hand:
"Miss Lin, please!"

Lin Chaoying stepped forward and confronted him with her palm. Both of them retreated half a step, seemingly evenly matched.

"Good! Your skills are such that you two can be ranked in the top ten even among the civilian heroes who are so many masters!"

The young scholar looked appreciative.

"Oh?" Ouyang Feng asked, "Among the civilian heroes who came to help with the suppression, which ones are famous martial artists?"

The young scholar took off his folding fan, unfolded it with a swish, shook his head and said:
"The most famous person here is Yue Xihong, the leader of the Yellow River Gang. Yue's 'Dragon Gate Wave-Boring Palm' is extremely powerful, and no one can match his palm power. The second famous person is the 'Iron Heart Divine Fist' of Jingzhao Prefecture, Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou has a pair of iron hearts, and he can hit the target without missing a throw, and can kill a tiger or an ox. A pair of iron fists with decades of skills, even an iron man can't withstand three of his punches. In addition to these two seniors, there is also the 'Changbai Sword' Jin Kesong, a famous swordsman with an unparalleled Changbai sword technique. There are also the Kongtong Twin Demons Zhu Cheng and Sun Tong..."

This person gave a brief introduction of the civilian warriors in the camp, issued pass badges to the two men, personally led them into the camp, arranged a fairly spacious military tent for them to rest, and said there would be a welcoming dinner later.

After settling down, Ouyang Feng asked the young scholar:
"Your Excellency has profound skills and is a well-known martial artist. I would like to ask your name."

The young scholar smiled and said, "My name is Wanyan Tieshu. Although I have some martial arts skills, I don't travel around the martial arts world, so I don't have a reputation in the martial arts world."

"Wanyan Tieshu?" Ouyang Feng was surprised: "General Wanyan Yinshu, who is in charge of the suppression of the bandits this time..."

"I am your elder brother." Wanyan Tieshu answered with a smile, waving his folding fan, without any arrogance on his face.

Ouyang Feng said solemnly: "So you are the general's younger brother, I am so sorry!"

"Haha, you two don't have to be so polite. I don't hold any military position. I'm just an idler..."

After some more polite exchanges, Wanyan Tieshu said goodbye with a smile and quickly went to the main tent of the camp.

Without the need for the guards to inform him, he directly lifted the tent curtain and walked into the spacious main tent. He bowed and smiled to the sturdy man with dark skin, dark red face, long beard, and a burly figure like an iron tower sitting on the main seat:

"Brother, good news. A woman who practices feminine internal strength has just arrived. Not only is she extremely beautiful and has a great figure, her internal strength is also quite pure. She can even compete with my palm power of 70% Kung Fu. She is a rare female master, and is perfect for helping you practice martial arts."

The sturdy man sitting on the main seat and reading a military book was none other than Wanyan Yinshu, the commander-in-chief of this encirclement and suppression operation.

After hearing what Wanyan Tieshu said, he put down the military book and asked in a deep voice:
"Who is that woman?"

"He claims to be a loner with no sect or school."

Wanyan Tieshu smiled and said, "She has a companion named Lu Zhishen, who looks less than 20 years old, but has great skills. I used 70% of my strength to only make him retreat half a step. His skills are much better than the Five Tigers and Eight Eagles of the Yellow River Gang. Judging from his face, he has some Western features. He may be a genius from Xixia or the Western Regions." Wanyan Yinshu said slowly in a deep and powerful voice:
"Are you sure they didn't hold back?"

Wanyan Tieshu smiled and said:

"These two have superb skills, but they are not famous yet. It is obvious that they have been practicing hard for many years and have just come out. They are here to make a name for themselves, so they must do their best to show their skills. Why would they hold back?"

Wanyan Yinshu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Has Xixia and the Western Regions not produced any famous masters or famous sects in recent years?"

"The martial arts world of Xixia is in decline. Even the Yipintang is almost ruined. Even the silver medal warriors are only at the level of the Five Tigers and Eight Eagles of the Yellow River Gang. As for the Western Regions, I have never heard of any famous sects emerging in recent years."

Wanyan Tieshu smiled and said:

"If we talk about the most famous masters in the Western Region in the past year or two, it is the Western Dragon King Ouyang Feng and his wolf riders. According to rumors, the Western Dragon King is so brave that he can defeat ten thousand men, and his five tigers and thirteen tigers are all heroes who can fight a hundred men at once."

Wanyan Yinshu snorted coldly and said:

"The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated. There are no famous sects, so where can we find any masters? The invincible Western Dragon King, the five tigers and thirteen tigers who can defeat a hundred with one, are just a bunch of shallow people who sit in a well and see the world, and don't know any heroes in the world!"

Wanyan Tieshu smiled and said:

"Brother, what you said is very true. Although the Western Region is vast, I don't know if there are 500,000 people at most. How can a big dragon be raised in such a small pond? Lu Zhishen must have had some kind of adventure, which allowed him to develop such strong skills at the age of less than 20. He must have a strong backer behind him."

"Even if he is a man of that damn Western Dragon King Ouyang Feng, how can I, a great general of the upper country, be afraid of him?" Wanyan Yinshu said in a deep voice: "After the banquet tonight, send Lu Zhishen to explore the mountain. Let him go with the people of the Yellow River Gang. As for that woman..."

Wanyan Tieshu said: "Her name is Lin Daiyu."

"Find a random excuse and send her to go with the Kongtong Twins."

"Don't worry, big brother." Wanyan Tieshu smiled and said, "The Yellow River Gang is eager to cling to my family. Lu Zhishen will explore the mountain tonight. Whether he runs into Wang Haifeng or not, he will never come back. As for Lin Daiyu... I will arrange for her to act together with my maid Ah Jiao. Ah Jiao will get things done."

After saying a few more words, Wanyan Tieshu bowed and took his leave.

Wanyan Yinshu picked up the military book again and continued reading, but his mind was no longer on the book.

Wanyan Yinshu is in his early forties this year. He has outstanding talent in martial arts and has acquired superb martial arts skills since he was a teenager.

At the age of 20, he traveled alone in Tibet, looking for masters of Tantric Buddhism. In a Tantric temple, he came across a fragment of a book called "Flame Blade".

He regarded it as a treasure and regardless of the fact that the technique was incomplete, he forced himself to practice it, and even mixed it with some masculine techniques to make some modifications. With extraordinary luck, he managed to develop a powerful and masculine true qi.

Although it is impossible to release the flaming sword energy to kill the enemy from a distance as described in the incomplete score, one can still condense a three-inch sword energy at the edge of the palm. Not only is it as sharp as a real sword, but it only needs to scratch the skin a little to inject heat and poison into the enemy's meridians, causing the enemy's true energy to boil and causing excruciating pain.

Although the sword energy was only three inches and could not fly away from the body but could only attach to the palm, when masters fought each other, life and death depended on a matter of millimeters. Countless opponents who did not know his strength thought they had barely avoided his palm sword when fighting with him, but unexpectedly, a three-inch invisible sword energy suddenly cut through them, and they lost their lives for no apparent reason.

In addition, this extremely masculine and strong true qi also made him unexpectedly achieve a set of hard skills, making his skin and flesh extremely tough and not afraid of blunt weapons. Even with swords and knives, only masters could pose a threat to him. Ordinary warriors could only cause minor injuries to his skin and flesh, but could not penetrate too deeply into his flesh and hurt his vital parts.

However, although his martial arts skills increased dramatically through forced practice of the incomplete manual, it also brought him great trouble.

Since the day he achieved success, he had to endure the pain of being burned by flames every noon because his true energy was too masculine and fierce.

At first, it only hurt for a few breaths, but by the year before last, the pain of the flames burning his body had lasted for a quarter of an hour every day, and was getting worse at an increasingly rapid rate. At this rate, within a few years, he would probably be killed in pain, or even dried up by the internal energy.

In order to save himself, Wanyan Yinshu went to Tibet again to look for Tantric masters, and finally found a Tantric method of dual cultivation. Using a woman who cultivated feminine inner strength as a cauldron, it could harmonize yin and yang, weaken yang fire, and alleviate symptoms.

Since he got that technique, he has captured several women who practiced feminine internal strength.

Unfortunately, the skills of those women were too shallow, and each of them was completely useless after only three or four months.

Without the furnace, Wanyan Yinshu had to endure the pain of being burned by the flames every day. Even though he was quite endurable, he gradually felt that the pain was unbearable and he could no longer bear it.

Therefore, when Wanyan Tieshu heard that a rare female master with profound skills had arrived, Wanyan Yinshu was extremely looking forward to it.
