In a duel between masters, even a single step can make a vast difference.
However, because Tang Kun didn’t use all his strength, while Gu Qiao did, in the end, their Inner Strength should be considered evenly matched.
Actually, previously, Gu Qiao definitely wouldn’t be a match for Tang Kun. But ever since staying by Gu Qingheng’s side, the dicine Pills crafted by Dao Xuzi seed endless, a daily treat, and Yang Ruxin constantly fed them with items and water from her space. As a result, their martial arts Inner Strength increased rapidly, a change they themselves could feel.
Tang Kun was astonished by Gu Qiao’s strike. His skills were personally taught by Tang Wanqian from a young age, and his body was tempered with their dicinals. Over the years, his improvent was rapid, and within the Wulin, there were few stronger than him. Ambitious for the Alliance Hierarch title at this Wulin Congress, yet now this guard’s martial skills were on par with his, this...
Tang Kun wasn’t foolish; he wouldn’t make a move without certainty of victory, and Gu Qiao didn’t act either, since his mission was to protect, not to fight.
Yang Ruxin rely curled her lips and turned to leave.
This ti, Tang Kun didn’t obstruct her, because he knew that if it ca to a real fight, he wouldn’t have the advantage. Yet seeing the look on Yu Qingge behind her, he was sure it was Yu Keke.
"Sect Leader..."
Tang Kun raised his hand, cutting off his subordinate’s words. Turning to watch the retreating figures of Yang Ruxin and Yu Qingge, he said, "Have soone keep an eye on them." He was certain Yu Qingge was indeed Yu Keke.
If Yu Keke was alive, then the "Tang Sect Poison" should be with her, along with the "Mother of Ten Thousand Poisons"...
No matter what, that woman must be brought back to him.
In the following two days, Yu Qingge did not step out even once. Although she didn’t have Yu Keke’s mories, instinctively, she felt a deep fear towards Tang Kun, a sentint lingering from her past, indicating the man was truly despicable.
Soon, it was the day of the Wulin Congress.
Mount Tai stands at over 1,500 ters above sea level, but whether it was that high in this era remained unknown.
Many Martial Artists chose to climb the mountain a day early and spend the night on the summit, so they could reach the Wulin Congress site at first light. However, the summit’s conditions were poor, now already deep into autumn, temperatures would certainly plumt at midnight, with snow even being a possibility, so those lacking Inner Strength dared not climb up early.
Yang Ruxin had no interest in suffering, as the summit now had no four-star hotels like the future did, so she chose to climb early in the morning.
The Wan Family brothers naturally traveled with them.
With no cable car available, they relied solely on physical strength to ascend.
At this ti, the climbing path wasn’t entirely steps like in the future; so steps were carved by local villagers, but many places had no obvious steps and required climbing.
In other words, not everyone was qualified to attend the first day’s Wulin Congress; those who couldn’t reach the summit simply couldn’t participate, and those with poor skills surely couldn’t make it up.
In Yang Ruxin’s group, only Yu Qingge had poor skills; her flowery fist and embroidered kicks, with Qinggong nearly negligible, making the ascent daunting.
However, with Tang Wanqian around, there was no worry; the old man rely carried his granddaughter a few leaps and bounds up to the South Heaven Gate.
