250 Chapter 227: Frog in a Well
```
"If it wasn't for that damn kid..."
At this mont, Cheng Kun struggled to endure the rampage of his chaotic inner strength, supporting himself on a boulder as he spat out a mouthful of coagulated blood.
After years of painstaking effort, just when his great achievent was about to be realized, he could not help but indulge in the desire to confess.
Having successfully ambushed Yang Xiao and the others, he began to uncontrollably pour out his long-suppressed grand sche, disclosing his actions in his own words.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Wuji was able to take advantage of the Chaos Energy Bag to fully master the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
Subsequently, Cheng Kun was injured by Zhang Wuji and managed to escape by trapping Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao in a secret chamber with a chanism before fleeing to safety.
After erging, he had another fierce fight with a formidable enemy, and finally had to fake death to get away.
"Humph, anyway, after today..."
However, just as he took a breath, suddenly, layers upon layers of echoes began to resonate through the mountains.
"Cheng Kun... Cheng Kun..."
The echo was all around him, with no discernible source, as if it was coming from every direction.
"Who? Who is there!"
Cheng Kun demanded with a fierce voice.
Yet there was no reply, which left Cheng Kun sowhat aghast.
Completely unaware of the location of the speaker, it seed as though the voice was right beside his ear, making him montarily believe he had encountered sothing unclean.
Afterward, enduring his injuries, he prepared to continue his descent from the mountain.
"This place is not safe to stay for long..."
However, just at that mont, Cheng Kun's face turned green as he saw a figure gracefully approach from Bright Summit.
With every light tap of the figure's feet brought about a distance of several ters, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.
Heading straight for him!
"Is there such lightness skill in this world?!"
Cheng Kun's face was filled with shock. Seeing the person coming straight at him, he knew nothing good would co of it, yet the unimaginable lightness skill made him lose even the courage to run away.
In the end, he could only press his hands together in prayer
"Amitabha, I am monk Yuan Zhen. I don't know what the donor..."
"That's good, if the distance had been any further, I might not have managed it."
Tao Yu's expression was very happy, not because he had found Cheng Kun and thus resolved the trouble, but because he realized his attempt was successful.
Tao Yu had considered that if Li Qiushui could use similar thods to find the Heavenly Mountain Maiden, with all the deific abilities he had linked together, there was no reason he couldn't do the sa!
He then felt the diverseness of the ditation Technique that was prone to collapse.
Hearing the voice of Tao Yu, Cheng Kun's expression changed again—it was the sa voice that had been calling his na!
Could it be this person's thod of seeking him out?
Without giving Cheng Kun ti to think further, Tao Yu, bothered by the nuisance, used his Flicking Flower Finger to seal Cheng Kun's acupoints from a distance and grabbed him by the back of his neck, stepping lightly towards Bright Summit once again.
"The Helix Nine Shadows is mostly about nimble changes. When there's a chance, I could learn the Reed Crossing and Cloud Climbing skills."
Tao Yu, holding Cheng Kun as if he were a small cat, made use of the protruding stones on the steep cliff to once more return to Bright Summit.
The spine-chilling views of high and low elevation along the way truly terrified Cheng Kun.
Even when he was uninjured, there was a vast difference; there was no comparison at all.
Yet, Tao Yu was unaffected, even while carrying a person and a clearly heavy sword on his back, which was utterly terrifying!
The next mont, everything spun around him as Tao Yu casually threw him to the ground.
"Here, is this the Cheng Kun you were talking about?"
"Cheng Kun!"
"Monk Yuan Zhen?"
Tao Yu, swift as the wind, caused a huge stir by grabbing Cheng Kun, who had been hiding in the darkness, as effortlessly as an eagle capturing a chick.
In any other situation,
the Shaolin monks would indeed need to carefully explain themselves.
But Tao Yu's earlier display of profound inner strength, along with his ghostly Light Body Technique, had already shown them his absolute power.
Now, even brazen talking back seed out of the question.
It was Kong Zhi who broke the silence
"Amitabha, Monk Yuan Zhen, there is soone here who wishes to confront you. Do not speak falsely."
Cheng Kun's will to survive was quite strong; even in such a situation, he still boldly lied as he argued with Zhang Wuji.
The slickness of this seasoned talker was sothing the currently inexperienced Zhang Wuji couldn't match, as he was twisted the facts of what he had personally witnessed into baseless fabrications by Cheng Kun.
This left Tao Yu sowhat stunned as he watched; indeed, Cheng Kun managed to stir up trouble even after faking death in the original story, but Tao Yu had not expected that even when brought before Zhang Wuji, he would still lose control.
"...Amitabha, I am indeed Cheng Kun and indeed have made grievous mistakes. It was because of these misdeeds that I turned to the Buddhist path. If my disciple Xie Xun cannot let go, then I am willing to die at his hand to resolve our grievances, rather than see him kill the innocent..."
Tao Yu also listened to the entire exchange attentively, and had to admit that Cheng Kun truly was talented, able to fight against the tide.
Applause sounded.
Tao Yu clapped his hands in praise
"No wonder you could stir up such trouble in the Martial World. What a pity, you've been too disgusting in your actions, otherwise you might have indeed had a chance to be the 'Fortune Thief' left behind."
Tao Yu felt sowhat sentintal.
"Amitabha, donor, your martial arts are peerless. Even that True Master Zhang may not be your match. If you wish to believe so, then let's agree to disagree, as I lack the strength to refute you."
Even amidst the turmoil, he subtly stirred trouble for Wudang, a task done effortlessly.
And seeing a turn of events, the Five Elders of Kongtong once again spoke up
"Right, and even if it's true, not all of Xie Xun's deeds were instructed by Cheng Kun. He is the one who stole our Seven Injuries Fist, and we still seek justice!"
