Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 170 Provoking Quan Xing

On the city gate of the capital, Quan Xing, an elder who was friends with Wang Yi and whose golden escape technique was unrivaled in the world, was furious because Wang Yi had misused the life talisman he had given him, which was connected to his life and cultivation.

But he had no objection to Wang Yi summoning him with the life talisman. After all, from the time he met Wang Yi half a year ago to now, his unique Golden Escape Flowing Light had indeed improved. He was no longer like before, where he would burn his life after using it four or five times at an old age. The only pity was that Wang Yi didn't seem to be very interested in his Golden Escape Flowing Light.

I thought Wang Yi was interested this time, but just after greeting Wang Yi, Master Jin Guang was also attracted by Li Tianran, who was standing next to Wang Yi, panting from exhaustion but managing to hold on.

He first asked about his master, then quickly came up to the sweaty Li Tianran. The old man put his hands behind his back, bent over, and walked around Li Tianran.

Wang Yi, who was standing by, couldn't help laughing at the appearance of the little old man, Master Jin Guang. He found a place to sit down and looked at the little old man, Master Jin Guang, showing this rare and lovely side of him. He couldn't help but think of his own dead master, Ghost Hand King.

When the Ghost Hand King knew that his skills were superior to his, he was just as delighted as Master Jin Guang is now. Apart from his identity as a disciple of Quan Xing, the Ghost Hand King was indeed a good elder to him, who was tough in words but soft in heart.

"Wang Yi, this old man's Golden Escape Flowing Light is really not to your liking? You would rather find a successor for me than learn from me yourself? If you are really that straightforward, why did you use the dough man Liu to pass the message to Liu Pozi, and let that kid named Wu Gensheng pass the message to those little brats in Quan Xing, asking them to follow you to stir up trouble outside the pass and fight each other."

"Master, I beg your pardon. You sound as if if I don't let Master Liu pass on the message and let that Wu Gensheng take it back, you Quan Xing won't stir up trouble. I just want them to find the right channel to vent their anger. If they want to stir up trouble, they have to find the right place. Besides, it's not that I don't want to learn your Golden Escape Flowing Light. I just realized the escape method that suits me from your Golden Escape Flowing Light."

"A method of escape that suits you?"

Hearing what Wang Yi said, Master Jin Guang, who was still circling around the handsome young man Li Tianran, suddenly became interested. He activated the talisman in his hand, and his body turned into a stream of light again and attacked Wang Yi.

But this time, Wang Yi did not respond as hastily as last time. White steam emanated from his body, and he responded with his magical power of shrinking the ground into an inch.

But in Li Tianran's eyes at this moment, it was like a battle between different people that could not be judged by the naked eye.

One can see that the golden light transformed by Master Jin Guang is like a golden snake dancing wildly in the night sky. The dancing of the golden snake has no rules at all and should be free and unrestrained in the night sky.

However, the golden snake transformed by Master Jin Guang with the golden escape light kept flashing and moving around in various places in the night sky, which deviated from the direction of Wang Yi. The golden snake, which should have been dancing freely in the night sky, became like a gluttonous snake that fell into a maze and could only chase after Wang Yi, the food that it could not reach. The competition between the two escape techniques with the purest magic also dazzled Li Tianran, a handsome young man who truly stepped into the world of extraordinary people.

It is indeed cruel to say this to Li Tianran, but it is also the truth.

His master, Yan Zi Li San, had three disciples in total. Halfway through teaching the eldest disciple, Zhu Qianlong, he discovered that he had evil intentions, but after all, he had brought him up, so he didn't give up his skills, but just expelled him from the sect. The second disciple was his daughter. The old man only taught his skills to sons, not daughters, so he only taught the basics. The last disciple was Li Tianran, the last disciple, whom he raised as a half-son, and planned to teach him the skills and then marry his daughter, so that the skills would be passed down.

However, a disaster that wiped out the entire family disrupted all of Yan Zi Li San's plans. The eldest disciple betrayed his master and destroyed his ancestors, but fortunately he didn't teach him all his tricks. The youngest disciple had a good character and talent, but he was too young and died before he could learn all his tricks.

This is the tragedy of small sects. Their ability to resist risks is too poor, with only three or five successors in a generation. It is okay in peaceful times, but in troubled times, one mistake can lead to the annihilation of the entire family.

As a result, although Li Tianran has been a cultivator over the years and knows what his master's methods are called, he is at a stage where he knows the results but not the reasons. He has a deep blood feud but can only wander around the door of the circle of extraordinary people.

And their method is called: Return with the Wind!

It is taken from Su Shi’s "Water Melody", also known as "When Will the Bright Moon Appear": I want to ride the wind to return, but I am afraid that the jade buildings are too high up and cold.

It is also an excellent physical skill. There are three stages for practitioners. In the initial stage, one can fly high on the grass, be good at short-distance sprints, and climb high buildings. Zhu Qianlong had just learned this stage before he was expelled from the sect, and the same was true for Li Tianran. He encountered a tragic disaster of his entire family being wiped out just after he entered this stage.

The second stage is called Walking on the Waves. At this stage, traveling 800 miles a day is not just empty talk, because this stage improves the practitioner's affinity with nature and his or her ability to leverage its power.

Dacheng is the name of this skill. When one reaches the state of riding the wind, his body is like a swallow, flying with the wind, and he can travel freely between heaven and earth. Not only is his body as swift as a swallow flying in the rain, but he can also turn the wind into a wall and fight against others.

Unfortunately, Li Tianran had only heard of the usefulness of the last two realms from his master, and had only seen his master use it once, treating himself as a big kite and letting his senior sister, the daughter of Swallow Li San, hold the string and fly in the air like a flying man.

Li Tianran had never felt what it was like to reach the next two realms of his own skills, but when he saw the old man and the young man in front of him competing purely in the art of escape, he felt that his master's inherited skills were not weaker than theirs!

"Damn, it's true that the young are better than the strong. This escape method is the same as the method you figured out back then, which is to draw a line on the ground to make a prison. It's also a method of hiding in space. Although it's not like my Golden Escape that can travel hundreds of miles at a time, it has the advantage of low consumption and can be used multiple times. It's also very effective in close combat. You're really good at hiding it, kid."

The competition of escape techniques ended with Master Jin Guang’s old age and weakness. The old man did not vomit blood this time, but just sat on the ground panting with exhaustion. His panting also revealed the characteristics of Wang Yi’s technique of shrinking the earth into an inch. Li Tianran, who was dazzled by the scene, came over and patted Master Jin Guang’s back to make him breathe more evenly.

"Yes, under the pressure from the Master, I figured out three methods of attack and defense. They were even more effective when used with the three-fold reverse birth that I learned from the Sanyi Sect. I sent them all back to the Sanyi Sect. In the future, when you travel around the world, you must be careful when you meet the disciples of the Sanyi Sect."

"Be on guard at all! In the end all the magic tricks will be a fight for life and cultivation. Even if the disciples of Sanyi Sect learn your methods, so what? They are not Zuo Rutong and Si Chong. If Cheng Zhen, two high-level masters and core disciples, use your methods, should I, an old man, be afraid? Young man, your method is very sophisticated. I feel much more comfortable." Master Jin Guang complained. He was also surprised by Li Tianran's massage method, which seemed to be particularly suitable for the art of escape.

"When my master asked me to massage him, that's how he asked me to do it."

"You haven't answered me who your master is."

"Swallow Li San."

"Swallow Li San? The sect that was wiped out by rebels in the northern suburbs in the 11th year of the Republic of China? You are the young disciple Li Tianran who survived."

Obviously, the extermination of Swallow Li San was no small matter in the circle of strangers. As for whether it was the eldest disciple who betrayed his master and destroyed his ancestors or the younger disciple who was completely unscrupulous, everyone in the circle of strangers had seen it. Didn't they see that the more than 100 acres of land at the former site of Swallow Li San was planted with poppies by the eldest disciple Zhu Qianlong who was known for his benevolence, filial piety, loyalty and goodness? Everyone knew what kind of person the eldest disciple was who could plant poppies on his master's grave, but in this world, everyone just took care of their own business and didn't care.

Although Master Jin Guang is a complete person, he just chose evil between good and evil. It doesn't mean he is stupid. When he saw Li Tianran stopped massaging after his identity was exposed, he also comforted him.

"No wonder Wang Yi introduced you to me, the last disciple of Yan Zi Li San. No wonder you have such a good foundation in the escape technique. Boy, do you want to learn my Golden Escape Flowing Light? Let me make it clear to you first. I am Quan Xing. Although I don't do evil now, I have a lot of blood debts on my back. If you want to learn from me, you must be prepared to bear the consequences."

Obviously, the down-to-earth travels in the past six months have made Master Jin Guang understand a lot. He knows that it is not easy to find a successor to pass on his skills. Even if he feels that Li Tianran is very suitable to learn his Golden Escape Skills, he will explain his story clearly.

"I have a deep blood feud and have already shouldered the karma. If the master can teach me the Golden Escape Flowing Light, as long as I can avenge this blood feud, what does it matter if I shoulder the karma! Master, please accept my disciple's greeting!"

As soon as Master Jin Guang finished speaking, Li Tianran changed his position without even thinking, knelt down in front of Master Jin Guang, and kowtowed three times.

His master's skills have been lost, and with Cao Shangfei, who joined the sect together with Zhu Qianlong, he would have to wait until the end of time to take revenge. He didn't want to wait any longer, he wanted to take revenge now. Wang Yi couldn't teach him skills easily, but he gave him a way to become his apprentice. What about Quan Xing? As long as he could take revenge, as long as he didn't recognize the enemy as his father, he could accept anything.

"Good! Good! Good boy, hurry up and get up. Today, I, Master Jin Guang, also recognize you as my successor!"

Li Tianran's straightforwardness and frankness touched Master Jin Guang's heart, making him overjoyed after being stunned.

He stood up in a hurry and quickly stopped Li Tianran from kowtowing, because in order to show his feelings, he had knocked his head three times and it was broken, and blood began to seep from his forehead.

"Don't think of yourself as my disciple. I know who I am. I will teach you my skills and eliminate the karma myself. As for whether you will go astray, I think you know what Quan Xing is. Your master has also told you that you can regard most people in Quan Xing, even me, as your senior brother. But although I know my mistakes now, it is extremely difficult to turn back. I only have one request for you, don't learn from me."

Wang Yi stood aside, watching Master Jin Guang getting flustered and self-deprecating because of Li Tianran's resolute decision to become his disciple, and he felt emotional.

Half a year ago, this person was not as humble as he is now. At this time, Li Tianran became Master Jin Guang's disciple, which was almost exactly the same as the scene in his memory where Li Muxuan became the disciple of Ghost Hand King because of a momentary anger.

But Li Tianran is different from Li Muxuan. He knows what he is doing and why he wants to be a disciple. Li Muxuan is different.

In terms of the means of transmission, Master Jin Guang is also different from the Ghost Hand King. He made it clear from the beginning that he, Quan Xing, had already borne a blood debt. Although he knew he was wrong, he could not turn back and could not wash himself clean. He only hoped that Li Tianran would not make the same mistake again for revenge.

It's really a matter of time and fate.

"Master, please don't be like this. I brought him here because I know he is a mature adult. He knows the consequences of his choice and accepts the consequences. You still have to worship him as your master. As for cause and effect, since I have arranged this matter, I will naturally share the burden for you. In addition, I will keep him with me for a long time. With me watching over you, your Golden Escape Flowing Light will not be cut off."

"That's good, that's good, Wang Yi, thank you..."

At this time, Master Jin Guang was also wiping tears from his eyes. He could not have thought that the final successor of his Golden Escape Flowing Light would be Wang Yi. Although the only drawback was that Wang Yi still did not intend to learn his method, he was very clear that with Wang Yi's talent, he might have already figured out the general idea and just did not want to use it in front of him, otherwise he would not have said such a sentence in front of him, "Ghost Hand King, Ghost Hand King, you say..."
Master Jin Guang's mood was going through a lot of ups and downs at this time. Just as he was thinking about his old friend Ghost Hand King's daily life, he heard Wang Yi speak.

"Master, if you want to thank me, I really have something I want you to help me with."

"Whatever it is, just tell me. I won't frown even if you ask me to go to Mount Longhu to settle the cause and effect with Zhang Jingqing, the bull nose, on the premise that I will pass on the skills to my disciple first."

"That's not necessary. The grudges between you and the Heavenly Master, and the grudges with other people, are your own business. I just want to ask the Master, where is Yuan Jingui."

Wang Yi's words also made Master Jin Guang's expression freeze. Looking at Wang Yi standing there, he also understood the reason why Wang Yi summoned him with the talisman he gave him.
