Wu Yuxue made a backhand motion with her right hand, and the blade was already in her grasp. It was a cyan steel sword with a scabbard attached to it. It seemed that although it was not made of gold or jade, it wasn't that easy to get it.

Holding the sword in his hand, he first hugged his fist towards his opponent and said, "Many thanks."

He then turned to Hu Lie and said, "Senior Hu has shown mercy, please give me your guidance."

Then, he pulled out his sword and inserted the sheath into the ground.

Lame Hu chuckled and said, "In my early years, I was also a swordsman. Later, my leg was injured, so I used this toy. Please!" The moment the words left his mouth, his feet had already quickly moved forward.

As he moved forward, he pointed his wooden staff at Wu Yu Xue's chest.

The staff's power was ferocious, and wherever the staff's power came from, there would be an overwhelming force that would rush straight towards Wu Yuxue's chest. This was the martial arts that was rumored to be known as Internal Martial Arts, "Staff Wind".

With this move, Wu Yuxue did not dare to underestimate him. She immediately shrank back, and with the momentum of her sword wielding, she jumped up with a 'whoosh'.

Hu Lie's staff posture then vanished into thin air.

"Good movement technique!" Hu Lie said.

As he shouted, he made a quick leap forward, and was hit by a spin.

At this moment, it seemed as if his body was like a giant snake. As he twisted his body, the staff once again shook out.

It was divided into three streams of wind, each aiming for the three acupoints on the other party's body.

Only then did Wu Yuxue realize how powerful this cripple was. It seemed like she couldn't even hide her abilities today even if she wanted to.

Naturally, the timing was instantaneous. With no more time for him to think, he welcomed the fierce momentum of the rod that was the Hu Cripple.

Wu Yuxue had no choice but to use the Yan Clan's movement and movement martial art — her body collapsed backwards, her feet heavily tapping on the ground. With this bit of strength, her entire body "Hu!" With a thud, he was flipped upside down.

It was also at this moment that Hu Lie's walking stick had already been pointed at him.

"Chi!" "Chi!" "Chi!" All three of the staffs used empty moves.

The two figures intersected, quickly retreating.

Seeing this, the Eighth Old Master couldn't help but slightly nod his head, then turned to Guo Jiu Ru and said, "The Yan Clan's skills are extraordinary after all. This move of 'Little Yan Yang' is untouchable."

Guo Jiu Ru also nodded and said, "This movement technique is really similar to Yan Zhuoyun from back then, a tiger father without a dog son. Amazing, amazing."

As the two of them spoke to each other, the battle at the scene had long become indecipherable.

Due to the use of Hu Lame's walking stick, he was unable to see through everything.

Wu Yuxue had no choice but to muster her energy and go all out.

Once the two sides started fighting, they had already exchanged more than ten moves.

He only saw the shadow of the staff dance for about twenty feet before it turned into a round, large whirlpool, tightly wrapping Wu Yuxue's sword light.

The strong wind formed a wave that spread in all directions. It sounded like it was blowing, but it was very scary.

Wu Yuxue had originally planned not to use the secret techniques of the Yan Clan to defend herself. How could she have known that after a few exchanges, she would be forced to be at a loss of what to do?

The Berserk Demon Staff that Cripple Hu walked on was like a storm. Although Wu Yuxue used all her strength, she was still tightly wrapped within the staff shadows and could not even think of projecting herself.

Seeing this, Guo Jiu Ru smiled and said, "It seems this little brother can't hide anything from us."

Sure enough, before he could finish his sentence, Hu Lie had already released a loud roar. He swung his walking stick with the flick of a flywheel and aimed it at Wu Yuxue's head.

Although this move looked extremely ordinary, it was completely different from when it was executed under Hu Lie's hands. Wu Yu Xue immediately felt a large amount of energy fall from the sky, and when she looked up, she realized that all the staff shadows were falling from the sky.

In this sort of situation, no matter where you dodged to, you wouldn't be able to escape a direct hit.

If it wasn't for some ulterior motive, Cripple Hu was determined to make Wu Yu Xue make a fool of herself on the spot, or else he would never use such a powerful technique.

Wu Yu Xue didn't dare to let her guard down. She looked at the staff shadows and saw that they were about to land. Where Wu Yu Xue's sword was, she shot up like an arrow.

In a moment of desperation, he had no other choice but to unleash the Swallow School's' Flying Swallow 'Swordplay.

Wu Yuxue's figure was as nimble as a snake in her fury. As she stretched and twisted, she had already emerged from the spiderweb-like shadow of her opponent.

The eighth grandfather laughed and said, "Great!"

Hu Lie, who was a staff dancer, thought that even though the other party was from Yanzhou City and at such a young age, it would be difficult for him to achieve great things. In addition, because of the eight old men's repeated praise for him, it seemed that they were already praising him, or perhaps they were about to take some important responsibility for him, Hu Lie couldn't help but to feel dissatisfied and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Wu Yanxue under the staff of the eight old men.

In front of him, Hu Lie had performed this walking stick technique in an extremely strange and unpredictable manner. Later on, he had used the famed Yun Sect's Eight Techniques of the Great Style, 'Mysterious Sky Flying Snow'. Hu Lie thought that his opponent was absolutely incapable of dodging and he didn't need to injure him.

However, he didn't know that this was only a wishful thinking on his part.

When she saw Wu Yuxue soar into the sky from the shadow of her staff, she couldn't help but be shocked. She didn't think that Wu Yuxue's next move, "Merciless Wings", would have such unfathomable power.

Along with Wu Yuxue's falling body, a long sword abruptly thrust forward. Hu Cripple grunted and retreated with a tap. He pulled back the wooden crutch and was about to sweep out.

The former's might abruptly surged out with a swift return, and a sharp gust of wind was forced towards the front of Hu Cripple's eyes.

This sword was in a roundabout way, aiming straight at Cripple's throat.

Cripple Hu's expression changed, it seemed to already be true.

Even so, he was still able to flee from the opponent's swift and fierce sword force before him.

However, someone had moved ahead of him and landed onto the scene like a gust of wind.

His clothes fluttered in the wind, revealing his swift figure.

Landing on the ground, slapping his palms, his movements were exceptionally fast.

The posture of twisting arms and twisting palms was undoubtedly beautiful. With a "pa" sound, the cold blade in Wu Yuxue's palms were held between her palms.

Naturally, he opened it immediately, revealing the elegant and graceful Guo Jiu Lai.

Hu Lie and Wu Yuxue simultaneously dodged to the side.

However, he only saw that Hu Lame's black face had turned as red as a purple eggplant.

In his life, he had always wanted to excel. He had originally planned to show off his prowess in front of the Eighth Old Master, but he hadn't expected that his opponent would be so powerful.

Actually, Wu Yu Xue's' Heartless Wings' was indeed powerful, but Hu Lie was unable to dodge it before he saw it. However, Guo Jiu Ru was too careful, afraid that her little brother would suffer a loss, so she hastily intervened, preventing Wu Yu Xue and Guan Xue Yu from continuing to attack.

Laughing weirdly, Hu Lie's large eyes were wide open as he glared at Guo Jiu Ru and said, "Seventh Brother, what's going on? Do you want to come down and play as well? The outcome of the battle between me and this little brother is still uncertain, why must you interfere?

Guo Jiu Ru naturally knew the temper of her sworn brother, so she didn't respond with a slight smile when she heard his words.

Wu Yanxue was a junior in the end. She stepped forward, clasped her hands, and said to Hu Lie, "Senior Hu, please calm your anger. Junior will admit defeat."

Hu Lie did not expect the other party to say something like this. He was stunned for a moment before sighing dejectedly. He heavily placed the wooden crutch in his hand against the ground and said, "Little brother, you're too polite. Alright, let's call it a day."

"That's right," the one who spoke was obviously the Eighth Lord in the pavilion. "It's better if it ends now."

Guo Jiu Ru smiled slightly and said, "The high skills of the Little Hero Sword Art is indeed not inferior to your father's back then. "Admirable, admirable. There will be a long period of time in the future, so we must properly ask for guidance."

Wu Yu Xue realized that Hu Lie's astonishing martial arts skills were on par with her, but Guo Jiu was able to grasp onto her sword with one strike. It seemed that his martial arts skills were above Hu Lie's, and most likely above hers. This made him look at the two of them in a whole new light, and he was especially curious about the business they were running.

It was actually clear.

If the business that Guo and Hu were running was a normal business, then why would each of them have such amazing martial arts when it was the paper business that the Eighth Old Master spoke of?

It was not necessary at all. It seemed that only the business of running bodyguards could be related to martial arts. However, they were definitely not in the business. Wu Yuxue could tell this just by looking at it objectively.

Returning to the pavilion, the Eighth Old Master praised him a few words.

Hu Lie seemed to be unable to sit still. He borrowed the situation and temporarily left his seat.

After Hu Lie had left, the Eighth Old Master smiled coldly and said to Guo Jiuzhi in a rather displeased manner, "You're not good enough, you've underestimated me, and yet you're still so full of yourself. Who would've known that old man Hu still has the same temper from back then and hasn't changed in the slightest."

Guo Jiu Ru smiled and said, "Isn't it so? Who here dares to speak ill of him? Only the Eight Elders can … Sigh, forget it. He is also a person with a lot of years of age. How can he change the temper that he has ever had? "

The Eighth Old Master snorted and said, "Of course I can't change it. It's just that in front of me, it's depressing. Hmph hmph, you should be clear about the situation from before. If not for your timely appearance, he would have lost even more face. "If I don't carefully examine him myself, I would really lose out to him for blaming others …"

Guo Jiu Ru seemed to be deeply afraid that this Old Master would blame her for this. Seeing that he was angry, she couldn't help but cover it up and tried to smooth things over.

Wu Yuxue was still young, so she didn't feel good about it. She tried to persuade him and to blame herself for it, but the Eighth Lord didn't say anything more.

Guo Jiu Ru was waiting for an opportunity to enter and called out to Hu Lie, thinking that he was taking advantage of the situation inside.

After Hu Lie came out again, he personally bowed to the Eighth Old Master in respect.

Only then did the eighth grandfather lose his temper.

Wu Yuxue, who was just watching from the sidelines, had a better understanding of the situation. Although it was rare to see the Eighth Lord here in years, he was still a high and mighty man.

For Guo, Hu, and the others, it was as if they held absolute power. Only by doing this could they cause Guo and Hu to bow to him and bow down to him.

All of this happened in spite of the fact that Wu Yu Xue was an outsider. Neither of the hosts nor the guests avoided the outsiders.

Wu Yuxue felt a little awkward, but the Old Patriarch didn't act against her. It was as if he treated her as one of his own.

Because of this, Wu Yuxue had to be careful and didn't dare to get too close to the other party.

The Eighth Old Master really did care about Wu Yuxue.

"I originally thought that you had yet to learn the Yan Clan's sword techniques, but looking at it today, it seems that you are already quite mature. That is quite rare."

After a slight pause, the Eighth Lord continued, "All these years in Karakorum, I've comprehended a set of techniques specifically designed to deal with sword moves. It's very subtle, when I'm free, we can verify it and teach it to you."

Astonishment immediately appeared on Guo Jiu Ru's face as she said, "Little friend Wu, your good fortune has arrived. All these years, I've never heard of anyone who has the good fortune to be taught by the Old Master of the Eighth Old Master."

Wu Yuxue was pleasantly surprised as she listened to him. She hurriedly went up to thank him.

The Eighth Old Master's eyes were shining as he looked at Wu Yu Xue. He smiled and said, "I know a little about astrology. You must have a straight nose. This means that you are naturally arrogant and won't easily submit to others. Well, tonight, I'll show you some of my hands. I'll let you know that under the heavens, other than you, Yan, there are still quite a few ways to go about your business. "

When Guo Jiu Ru heard that the Eighth Lord wanted to show off his skills, she couldn't help but clap her hands to express her speed.

Lame Hu also loudly shouted.

Wu Yuxue was about to argue when the Eighth Lord left her and moved a chair to the middle of the pavilion before sitting down again.

"Come, come, little friend Wu. We came here empty-handed to play. We're just here to stop."

He said with a smile, "Other than my palms connecting, all I have to do is touch a bit of your finger and I'll consider it my loss. What do you say?"

Wu Yuxue thought that she had just humiliated Hu Lie, and since the Eighth Lord wanted to make a move on her, she hesitated. She didn't know how to reply after listening.

The Eighth Old Master saw his silence, and nodded slightly. "You're a very kind person, not easily taking action against me. Could it be that you're really afraid of hurting me, but …?"

Wu Yuxue shook her head and said, "The 'Eight Great Sacred Arts' are unparalleled. Naturally, I will not be injured by this little one. This little one only worries about my own incompetence. I might embarrass myself in front of the three seniors and humiliate myself."

The Eighth Old Master snorted and slightly nodded, "These words of yours are not considered to be sincere. It might be so in front of others, but for me, there is no need for you to do so. "Even if your parents were present, none of them would blame you. You're only interested in my wine and wine tonight. After missing out on tonight, I'm afraid that I won't be able to show my face anymore."

On the side, Hu Pai Zi laughed loudly and said, "The eight old men's words are reasonable. How about this, I, Cripple, will first ask you for three punches, okay?"
