Chapter 375: Know some boxing skills

This caught Liang Yu a bit by surprise.

How could Hui Nian, a disciple of Zen Master Qizhen, be confined just like that?

Was it because of him, because he had caused Hui Nian to break a precept of anger? He wondered if he should try to get Hui Nian out.

However, as soon as this thought emerged, Liang Yu immediately dismissed it; this was the other party’s private matter, and it was indeed not appropriate for an outsider like him to interfere.

Thus, the two continued walking for a while, each lost in their own thoughts. Liang Yu frowned slightly, and his expression towards Zen Master Qizhen began to show wariness.

Where was the other party trying to take him, that they had to walk such a long distance?

Zen Master Qizhen seemed to sense Liang Yu’s wariness, stopped, turned around, and slowly said to him,

“Do not worry, this Old Monk is merely taking you to a safe place.”

Although Liang Yu still had doubts in his heart, he could not say anything more. After all, from their interactions, Zen Master Qizhen had been friendly towards him.

So, the two walked for about another ten minutes, and Liang Yu was led to a somewhat desolate small Zen Temple.

Upon entering the small Zen Temple, there were only a few statues that Liang Yu did not recognize, placed on both sides and at the main position.

Zen Master Qizhen stood still, pressing his palms together and said,

“Benefactor, please rest assured, there is no danger here.”

“However, before answering your question, I hope you can answer one of mine.”

For some reason, Liang Yu felt that this person had too many demands. It was just a secret, yet he had specifically traveled such a long distance.

Now that they had arrived, he wanted Liang Yu to answer his question first, and he had not even said whether he would tell him directly after the answer. Liang Yu always felt that this matter was not so simple, and there must be more to it later.

But the only knowledgeable person he had found at the moment was Zen Master Qizhen. Although Liang Yu was unwilling, he still made a gesture of invitation.

So, Zen Master Qizhen put away his kind demeanor and very seriously questioned Liang Yu.

“Regarding the matter of West Sand City, what exactly was your intention in doing what you did, Benefactor?”

Hearing Zen Master Qizhen bring up West Sand City, Liang Yu did not know why he would suddenly ask about this matter.

Also, how did he know that it was him who appeared in West Sand City that day?

Suddenly, Liang Yu knew the reason.

It was that black robe, identical to Xiao Huohuo’s, that made Zen Master Qizhen realize it was him.

As Liang Yu looked at Zen Master Qizhen, he did not rush Liang Yu for an answer but waited quietly for Liang Yu’s reply.

However, Liang Yu did not answer Zen Master Qizhen’s question; instead, he pushed the question back to him.

“Zen Master Qizhen, I want to ask you something.”

“If someone intended to kill you while you were strolling in the market, what would you do?”

Zen Master Qizhen replied naturally,

“I would certainly reason with the other party to understand why he wants to kill me.”

“If reasoning is useless, besides the Zen Sect’s wonderful sounds, I also know a bit of martial arts, enough for self-preservation.”

Liang Yu then continued Zen Master Qizhen’s words.

“So, Zen Master Qizhen’s final choice would be to fight the other party, is that right?”

What Liang Yu did not expect was that Zen Master Qizhen did not deny this statement, nor did he explain anything; he nodded generously in acknowledgment.

At this point, Liang Yu directly said,

“What if the Zen Master accidentally killed the other party?”

“By the way, Zen Master, please do not tell me that you are careful with your moves and would not kill the other party.”

“After all, accidents always happen suddenly, and you do not know if the other party’s body has been hollowed out by wine and lust.”

After Liang Yu said this, Zen Master Qizhen did not refute. He clearly felt that Liang Yu’s words had some truth to them, and at the same time, he was judging the authenticity of what he said.

This matter did not differ too much from what he understood. Although there were some discrepancies and omissions overall, the basic content was largely the same.

Regarding this matter, he could only say that Liang Yu was ruthless, but since he did not belong to his Zen Sect, he was not under his jurisdiction. Zen Master Qizhen did not say much, but instead asked the next question.

“How do you explain General Jin’s death, Benefactor?”

“Why did you instigate a conflict between the two sides?”

After speaking, Zen Master Qizhen subtly showed an intention to act. If Liang Yu’s answer was unsatisfactory, the next moment he would let Liang Yu experience his martial arts.

Liang Yu, standing beside him, also noticed this, but he did not rush to distance himself from the other party. Instead, he asked playfully,

“Didn’t I just say?”

“I killed his son, so naturally, he wanted to kill me. I alone could not defeat so many people, so for self-preservation,”

“When is self-preservation ever wrong?”

“Or should I just stand there and let the other party beat me to death?”

“If that’s the case, I now have murderous intent towards the Zen Master. Please stand still and let me beat you to death.”

After speaking, Liang Yu did not wait for the other party’s reply and directly drew a long saber, striking towards Zen Master Qizhen’s face. He held nothing back in this strike, just like the one against General Jin, drawing the saber with the intent to kill the other party.

The only difference was that General Jin’s was a guandao, while Liang Yu’s was a long saber.

Facing Liang Yu’s sudden attack, Zen Master Qizhen was also slightly shocked.

In an instant, the air seemed to solidify, and the whistling wind from the saber seemed to tear this world apart.

However, Zen Master Qizhen did not lose his composure. He focused his gaze, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

His previously clenched fist quickly transformed into a palm, his movements fluid and natural, as if practiced countless times.

With a crisp “Pa” sound, his palm precisely struck the side of the saber’s blade.

This strike skillfully dispersed most of the force from Liang Yu’s saber.

Liang Yu only felt a great force transmit through, and his hand holding the saber tingled slightly, the blade involuntarily deflecting a few inches.

The saber struck the ground beside them, and Zen Master Qizhen did not continue to act.

Liang Yu put away his saber, looking at Zen Master Qizhen.

“Zen Master, I think you should understand my situation at that time.”

“Now, I do not want to lecture you with so many grand principles anymore.”

“You either tell me now, or I will hold the saber to your neck and listen to you speak.”

Liang Yu’s patience had run out at this point, and from that single exchange just now, he felt that Zen Master Qizhen was not simple, and his heart was itching, already having the idea of making a move.

Upon hearing Liang Yu’s words, Zen Master Qizhen did not say much, merely furrowing his brow, as if harboring a myriad of thoughts in his heart.

His two thick eyebrows were tightly knitted together, like coiling dragons, and the wrinkles between his brows etched out his inner struggle and resolve.

A moment later, Zen Master Qizhen raised both hands, assuming the stance of Arhat Fist, his feet firmly planted, like a majestic mountain, steady and unshakeable.

With a swift movement, he took the initiative, like a fierce tiger emerging from the forest, striking out with both fists, generating powerful gusts of wind.

This Arhat Fist was fierce and powerful, every move and every stance imbued with immense strength, directly pressing towards Liang Yu.
