Chapter 63: The Third Battle
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin turned to look at Yang Guo beside him and said:
"Guo'er, you've practiced martial arts with me for many years. These two petty thieves shouldn't be a match for you. Why didn't you go up and help your Uncle Guo and the others win the match?"
Yang Guo said upon hearing this:
"Master, you have always taught me that I should keep a low profile in all things when I travel in the world, and never be reckless or stand out."
"Most of the people at this grand banquet of heroes are my seniors, and none of them have made a move. As a junior, it's naturally inappropriate for me to act rashly."
"Hehe, I think you're still holding a grudge because Uncle Guo didn't teach you martial arts back then!"
Upon hearing Qian Jin's words, Yang Guo immediately put on a serious face and said:
"How could that be! Actually, in my heart, I am grateful to Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo for not teaching me martial arts."
Because if they had taught me martial arts, how could I have ended up in the Quanzhen Sect and met my master?
I'm just a little upset that their grand banquet to choose a martial arts leader didn't even have my master present.
As the two were talking, Huo Du's voice came over again.
"Great Hero Guo, now that we have won this duel, my master, the Golden Wheel Monk, is now the leader of the martial arts world. Is there anyone here who still has objections?"
Guo Jing was not good with words and was at a loss for words when a voice suddenly came from the side.
"What the hell? I refuse to accept this."
"Who do you think you are...?"
Huo Du was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized that the speaker was Qian Jin. He was so startled that he dared not continue speaking.
The memory of being brutally beaten by Qian Jin at Chongyang Palace was always a painful one for Huo Du.
So he immediately turned to Guo Jing again and said:
"Master Guo, we agreed on a best-of-three format before the duel. We've already won two rounds, so you can't go back on your word!"
Huo wanted to spare Qian Jin, but how could Qian Jin give him that chance? He immediately spoke first:
"Hmph! Can you even call those two matches wins?"
"Either you resort to sneak attacks or underhanded tactics, or you rely on superior weaponry. If it comes down to real skill, you wouldn't win a single match."
The assembled heroes had long felt that Huo Du and his group had won unfairly, and upon hearing this, they all immediately joined in the defense.
Huo Du was furious and immediately shouted:
"No matter what, you've lost. Are you planning to go back on your word? Such a lack of chivalry makes you unworthy of being called heroes."
The assembled heroes were all well-known figures in the martial arts world. Upon hearing Huo Du's words, they were all speechless and unsure how to refute him.
A loss is a loss; it's impossible for them to cheat and refuse to admit it.
Qian Jin sneered upon seeing this and said:
"Since it is a contest for the leader of the martial arts alliance, one must naturally possess martial arts skills that surpass all others and gain their trust."
"I see your master is tall and thin, with a strange appearance; he's completely unworthy to be our martial arts alliance leader."
"My master isn't worthy? Then who is worthy to be the leader of the martial arts world?"
"Fool, I'm standing right in front of you and you can't even see me, what else is there to ask?"
If you're not convinced, you're welcome to come up and challenge me to a few moves. If you can defeat me, I'll naturally acknowledge your master as the leader of the martial arts world.
"you?"
Huo Du was startled upon hearing this, knowing that Qian Jin was highly skilled in martial arts and that he was no match for him, so he said:
"Today, in the competition for the title of martial arts leader, it is the disciples who are fighting on behalf of their masters."
We had already agreed with Master Guo on a best-of-three format. If his disciples could win two consecutive matches, their master would become the leader of the martial arts world.
We just won, so my master is now the leader of the martial arts world.
If you are not convinced, you can send your apprentice to compete. If he can also win two consecutive matches, then we will naturally be convinced.
Huo Du felt that Qian Jin was still young, and even if he himself was very skilled in martial arts, his disciple would not be much better.
As long as he can avoid fighting Qian Jin, he can be invincible.
Seeing that Huo Du had taken the bait, Qian Jin smiled faintly and said:
"In that case, I will have my apprentice come up and have a couple of matches with you."
After saying that, he turned to Yang Guo and said:
"Guo'er, come here and experience his amazing skills."
Upon hearing that he was to help his master compete for the title of leader of the martial arts world, Yang Guo was already eager to try, and immediately bowed to accept the order.
Huang Rong didn't know Qian Jin, and when she saw him suddenly stand up against Jinlun Fawang, she thought he would take action on his own.
Seeing that Qian Jin had actually brought Yang Guo out, he was immediately taken aback.
When Guo Jing returned from Chongyang Palace, he mentioned to her that Yang Guo had apprenticed under a powerful master at the Quanzhen Sect.
But she never cared.
Therefore, when Yang Guo came with Hao Datong and Sun Bu'er this time, she always felt that Yang Guo's martial arts skills were at most at the level of Da Wu and Xiao Wu.
They might not even be as good as the two of them.
So he quickly came closer and said:
"Young hero, this Huo Du is a Mongolian prince. He is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also treacherous and cunning. If you let Guo'er fight him, he might plot against you."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"Miss Guo, Guo'er has been learning martial arts from me for many years and has already mastered a great deal of skill."
Compared to Lady Guo, he might be slightly lacking, but he's more than capable of dealing with these foreign barbarians.
Huang Rong was surprised that Qian Jin was so confident, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but look towards the arena with some curiosity.
Yang Guo stood in the center of the field, pointed at Huo Du, and said:
"You little beast, my master told me to experience your skills. Come over here and get a beating."
Huo Du was furious when he saw that Yang Guo, at such a young age, dared to call him a "little beast" right away. He said:
"What kind of little beast is this, daring to speak to Xiao Wang like that?"
Yang Guo chuckled upon hearing this and said:
"Who are you calling a little beast?"
"You little beast, you're insulting me!"
"Yeah! It really was that little bastard who insulted me."
Huo Du was taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately realized that Yang Guo was subtly insulting him. He then flew into a rage and said:
"You little beast, quickly draw your weapons! I, the King, do not kill the unarmed."
Yang Guo smiled upon hearing this:
"With your meager skills, do you think you're worthy of me drawing my weapon? Even if I'm unarmed, I can still beat you to your knees and beg for mercy."
However, you, Master Yang, never fight for nothing. If you lose, you must give me the antidote for the sneak attack you just suffered.
Upon hearing this, Huo Du angrily retorted:
"Hmph! You think I'd lose to you? You're dreaming."
Yang Guo sneered upon hearing this and said:
"What, you're scared now?"
"Hmph! What's there to be afraid of! But if you lose, you'll have to kneel on the ground, kowtow to me three times, and call me 'Grandpa' three times."
"What's your name?"
Seeing that Yang Guo was tilting his ear as if he hadn't heard, Huo Du immediately shouted:
"Call me Grandpa."
"Yes, my dear grandson, say it again."
Huo Du: "..."
