#265 - Battle of Mingyu Palace! An unknown hero versus a martial arts legend! (7K words, please orde
Second Palace Mistress, Ming Xing, originally had other important matters to attend to and didn't involve herself in mundane affairs. However, recently, her confidants reported strange changes within Mingyu Palace, creating an odd atmosphere.
Initially, she was too lazy to bother with it, but her confidants seemed genuinely uneasy, which alerted her.
After investigating, she learned that the issue stemmed from the Great Elder's problematic power testing.
In truth, the existence of a power-testing ground within Mingyu Palace wasn't a secret. After all, some of Mingyu Palace's unique skills were derived from the martial arts of other sects.
However, the Second Palace Mistress had long been dissatisfied with the Great Elder's actions. Mingyu Palace possessed the spirit to embrace all rivers, but ultimately, the Mingyu Skill was the foundation.
Yet, the Great Elder, Yang Li, was engrossed in other martial arts, seemingly abandoning the fundamentals, making it difficult to achieve great success.
Additionally, she had been involved in Mingyu Palace's mundane affairs more in recent years, unknowingly influencing the disciples.
This time, the strange changes within the palace due to the power testing had affected many disciples, which irritated Ming Xing, who usually didn't care much about mundane matters. Thus, she came to question the situation.
As a result, she walked in on a scene.
A scene she couldn't even dream of.
There were no men in Mingyu Palace.
At least, not during the years she and her sister had led Mingyu Palace. There had never been a man here.
Even if some unavoidable oversights occurred, she had never heard any news about men entering Mingyu Palace.
But now, there was a man here.
A man with large breasts and no pants, clearly a pervert; another who looked decent but had deflated breasts, clearly a man disguised as a woman.
And the Great Elder, Yang Li, whom she had come to question, was currently being brutally murdered by the two, her face twisted in extreme pain.
"How dare you! You dare to cause trouble in my Mingyu Palace!"
Such a scene shocked Ming Xing greatly, but as the owner of Mingyu Palace, a figure feared in the martial world, she immediately displayed the aura of a ruler.
She even felt a faint excitement.
Living in this deep palace for so long, possessing unparalleled skills, and being feared by the martial world, even with her sister by her side, she inevitably felt lonely.
Now, these two perverted demons could deal with the Great Elder, clearly making them experts.
Finally, she could stretch her muscles.
Seeing the confident look on the newcomer's face, the Murong brothers instinctively felt timid, as they vaguely guessed who she was.
But Duan Yun didn't retreat at all, confidently saying, "Which demon from Mingyu Palace, state your name."
Ming Xing took a step forward, a slightly excited expression appearing on her beautiful, flawless face, and said, "Ming Xing, which demon are you? Come to die."
As she spoke, starlight seemed to flow in her eyes, making her as radiant as a star.
Hearing this name, Duan Yun confirmed the identity of the person.
The appearance of this Second Palace Mistress really disrupted his plan.
His plan was to save the person first, and then severely punish the Mingyu Palace owner who dared to disrespect him, but now...
Demonic villains, daring to disrupt this young hero's perfect plan, your crime is doubled, you truly deserve to be killed!
One was at the door, the other at the end of the room, facing each other.
Hearing the other party tell him to come to die, Duan Yun stopped releasing lightning from his fingertips and straightened his chest.
The Great Elder, Yang Li, looked at the handsome profile of this demon, her face filled with unwillingness, pain, and a sense of relief.
Finally, she could die!
Before her death, she heard the demon's slightly frivolous words—"You want me to die? Then come and get me."
Immediately afterward, the Second Palace Mistress, Ming Xing, said, "The Palace Mistress of Mingyu Palace doesn't kill the unknown. State your name."
"Nameless Young Hero!"
At this moment, Yang Li didn't want to die anymore.
No one dared to speak to the Second Palace Mistress of Mingyu Palace like that.
Because people in the martial world knew that the Second Palace Mistress, Ming Xing, didn't kill easily, but once you offended her with your words, even if you ran to the ends of the earth, even if you were a grandmaster or a great hero, you would die a violent death.
Because she had always been petty.
She really wanted to see this duel before she died, to see these shameless old demons who ambushed her being brutally murdered by the Second Palace Mistress. That way, she would both see the excitement and witness her blood feud being avenged, making her death truly worthwhile!
Unfortunately, after the electric light disappeared from Duan Yun's hand, she knew she was going to die.
She hated it so much!
So, before she could see the two make a move, she died with a face full of resentment!
The confrontation between Duan Yun and Ming Xing was destined to be unavoidable.
Because, according to rumors, both sides were petty!
At this moment, both sides' eyes radiated the confidence of the strong, and although the Murong brothers tried their best to remain calm and put on their pants, they still couldn't hide their nervousness.
For a time, he stood like a lackey, puffing out his big chest.
Ming Xing took three steps forward, neither fast nor slow, and the air, which had almost solidified, began to flow.
Without any fancy moves, Ming Xing stretched out her right hand and struck out with a palm.
It was still the Mingyu Palm, still with a jade-like luster in the palm wind, striking towards Duan Yun and the Murong brothers like a raging wave.
But with just one palm, there was a huge difference from the deceased Great Elder, Yang Li.
If Yang Li's Mingyu Palm was like a wave, a wave that could knock people over, then Ming Xing's palm could be said to be a terrifying wave that would crush people to pieces!
"Little Jade!"
"Death Qi Breaking Body Sword Pillar!"
Duan Yun recited these words like a rap, and the Dharma Idol Little Jade appeared, while the black, ominous Death Qi Breaking Body Sword Qi shot towards the Mingyu Palm wind like a pillar!
If this palm was like a raging wave, then he would pierce a hole in the raging wave!
This was all the Death Qi and True Qi he could mobilize in this short period, it could be said that he was holding nothing back!
Boom!
The black, ominous sword pillar collided with the Mingyu Palm wind, which flowed like jade, and the narrow, coffin-like room began to shake, the air stirring like water, forming gray and white currents.
This exchange between the two sides seemed to be evenly matched in terms of strength.
But the next moment, Duan Yun's face changed!
His Breaking Body Sword Pillar suddenly slanted, as if it had suddenly hit a smooth ice surface, making it difficult to control its direction.
Even more outrageous, when he quickly spread his palms, manipulating the Breaking Body Sword Pillar to split into two, wanting to change its attack method and direction, the middle section of one of the sword pillars was suddenly twisted and broken by the palm wind, shooting back.
This woman's palm force could not only make the sword pillar slip, but also make it turn against him!
This deflected sword pillar struck the Murong brothers, who were pulling up their pants!
The Murong brothers shouted, "Damn!", and swung the slate knife in their hands, hastily slashing out a move of Fourfold Spring Rain.
With a bang, the black sword pillar collided with the newly rising blade light, and he was knocked away.
While flying in the air, the remaining Breaking Body Sword Qi of Duan Yun also became somewhat uncontrollable, and attacked the Murong brothers again!
The Murong brothers were flying in the air, unable to exert any force. Seeing the slender Breaking Body Sword Qi, like a real long sword, attacking, they could only grit their teeth and unleash their blade Qi again!
With a few bangs!
He was violently smashed through the wall, falling into the mud outside like a cannonball.
For a time, Duan Yun only felt that it was troublesome.
This woman's palm technique was extremely strange.
If the initial jade-like palm wind was like a raging wave, then at this moment, it was as if there were many undercurrents and whirlpools in this raging wave.
These undercurrents and whirlpools could change the trajectory of his sword Qi, and even attack in reverse.
Shifting Flowers Grafting Trees?
This was Duan Yun's first reaction.
"Little Green!"
"Strange Fist!"
Different from the interjections in the past, Duan Yun's words were as brief as his force at this time.
The fewer words spoken, the more serious the situation!
Little Green in a white silk cheongsam followed and appeared, listed on both sides with Little Jade in a black silk sword robe, like Duan Yun's wings.
Duan Yun punched with both hands, Little Green and him together blasting out the Sixteen Styles of Strange Fist, while his right hand and Little Jade manipulated the Death Qi Breaking Body Sword Qi.
For a time, the entire space was filled with sword Qi, fist force, and palm wind, the walls and the ground were full of sword marks, fist marks, and palm marks, with cracks and holes appearing everywhere, and half of the roof was lifted off.
Duan Yun could clearly feel that the more he went all out, the more fierce the shifting and grafting attacks became.
But this was like sitting on a high-speed, runaway truck with no brakes, it couldn't be stopped!
He didn't stop either, kicking up a broken slate from the ground, learning from the Murong brothers, and using the slate as a knife to unleash blade Qi!
"Sixfold Spring Rain Rotation!"
"Rotation!"
"Rotate!"
For a time, he frantically unleashed Spring Rain blade Qi.
Since this strange palm wind could rotate like a vortex, shifting and grafting, then he would also rotate!
The blade Qi flew away like the sky after being washed by spring rain, and there were bursts of explosions around.
Ming Xing clapped her palms in succession, her expression becoming serious.
She had been in the upper hand from the beginning, and had even cleaned up the perverted demon smoothly, and had always suppressed this nameless young hero demon with the wonderful strength of the Mingyu Palm.
In addition, her skill was obviously deeper, and it seemed that victory was inevitable.
Yes, how could she possibly lose!
As a well-known figure in the martial world, she had never thought about losing.
But at this moment, the situation had changed slightly.
That was, the other party was like a madman, and indeed a martial arts genius, with a vast knowledge, with strange fist techniques, sword techniques, knife techniques, and finger techniques, all the unrelated moves were readily available.
And under the increasingly terrifying "Shifting Flowers Grafting Trees", normal people would "hit themselves" and turn from attack to defense, and then be crushed by her in one fell swoop.
It could be said that the Mingyu Skill was a magical skill that made it impossible for people to fight back the more they fought.
This was also the foundation for Mingyu Palace to deter the martial world.
But the guy in front of her was going against the trend. After his body was hit by her sword Qi, palm force, and finger force, not only did he not reduce his offensive, but he also increased his strength.
The ability of the Mingyu Skill and Mingyu Palm to shift flowers and graft trees was not endless. At this time, it had reached the limit she could control, and the incoming palm finger force, knife sword Qi could no longer be transferred by her at will.
As a result, fist force, finger force, sword Qi, and knife Qi began to fly around, and Duan Yun, who had been suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe, finally gained a brief right to breathe.
I said, you woman can't keep grafting!
The next moment, he stomped on the ground, and the corpse of the Great Elder, Yang Li, who died with a grievance, was shaken up.
Immediately afterward, a loud crane cry sounded.
Duan Yun hit Yang Li's corpse on the back with a finger, and the finger force rippled through her entire body.
While being used as a meat shield, blocking the flying blade Qi, all the remaining hair on her body was shaken off.
Crane Borrows Hair!
All Borrowed!
Crane God Needle!
The crane spread its wings on Yang Li's unrepentant corpse, turning into a piercing needle, and pierced towards the Second Palace Mistress, Ming Xing!
The Second Palace Mistress, Ming Xing, narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and still struck out with a palm!
At this time, neither side had defended a single move.
That was how confident!
That was how petty!
Um!
Um!
Both sides let out a cry of pain at the same time. Ming Xing took two steps back, with several needles in her thigh, while Duan Yun was hit in the shoulder by the palm force of the Mingyu Palm, and was heavily smashed to the ground.
Because both sides were defending with offense, this time, neither side had defended completely, and both had taken some of the moves.
Ming Xing's thigh was pricked with needles, and she only felt extremely itchy and painful.
However, she was skilled after all. In two breaths, the needle-like fine hairs had been forced out by her.
And Duan Yun fell to the ground, only feeling that the bones in his shoulder were about to crack. He quickly pressed his right hand and released lightning from his fingertips, barely healing his injuries.
His injuries were obviously more serious.
How could Ming Xing give him a chance to heal?
Ming Xing's body shifted, as if stepping on stars, bringing out seven afterimages, and instantly came to Duan Yun, who was lying on the ground, and grabbed down with one hand.
Mingyu Branch Breaking Hand!
The Murong brothers had suffered this move before, but at that time, he was facing the disciples of Mingyu Palace.
The same move, in Ming Xing's hands, was simply like a rebirth.
In this instant, Duan Yun only felt that his crotch had been locked by her hand, and he couldn't dodge at all.
The next moment, Ming Xing frowned slightly.
Because her seemingly sure hit suddenly slowed down, and even became slower and slower.
Because at this time, Duan Yun's body suddenly straightened slightly, and his legs had clamped her legs.
"Heart to Heart Clamp!"
"Clamp all things in the world!"
If Ming Xing's Branch Breaking Hand had locked Duan Yun's Qi, and was an unavoidable blow, was the sharpest spear, then Duan Yun's leg clamp was the best shield.
Because at the moment of being clamped by Duan Yun's "Heart to Heart Clamp", her Qi was also clamped, and she couldn't exert her full strength.
No, it was even difficult to exert.
It could be seen from the fact that her must-hit claw had become slower and slower, as if an old woman with a sore waist was slowly bending over.
But she could still move, which was beyond Duan Yun's expectations.
It should be known that his clamp skill had clamped many people, as long as he clamped things, no matter male or female, no matter birds or beasts, they could not move at all.
And the woman in front of him was worthy of being the Second Palace Mistress of Mingyu Palace, he couldn't completely lock her down.
Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Duan Yun opened his legs and released the Heart to Heart Clamp.
Because when performing the Heart to Heart Clamp, his Qi was also in a locked state.
However, he was prepared to release the Heart to Heart Clamp, but Ming Xing was not.
Her body suddenly loosened, Ming Xing was not used to it, and Duan Yun slid upwards like a fish.
With a snap, the slate on the ground was broken into pieces, and Duan Yun escaped a disaster.
The star raised her hand again, but Duan Yun straightened up and used a scissor kick, hitting her viciously aimed branch-breaking hand.
As a result, both sides paused again, as if a pause button had been pressed.
Just as Duan Yun clamped down, he unexpectedly released immediately. The star leaned forward, and Duan Yun kicked out with force!
With a bang, the kick landed squarely on the star's abdomen, carrying immense power.
The star groaned and was kicked to the ground, but Duan Yun, who had just gotten up, also fell.
At the moment of kicking the opponent, the star activated the 'Flower Shifting' technique again, taking over a portion of the force.
Both sides fell to the ground almost simultaneously, then almost simultaneously slapped the ground with their hands, leaping to their feet and attacking each other again.

Duan Yun's left hand was filled with fist energy, and his right hand with 'Amorous Fingers' energy. Both hands attacked simultaneously, as fast as lightning.
Midway, he even really emitted lightning from his fingertips, aiming at the star's eyes.
The star still responded to everything with her palms, her movements extremely fast as well.
In an instant, both sides' hands transformed into afterimages, entangled together, creating sounds of tearing through the air.
From the initial exchange of force dozens of steps away to the current close-quarters combat, only a few dozen breaths had passed, yet it was extremely dangerous.
Both were very self-confident individuals. One was the martial world's recognized myth of the 'Bright Jade', and the other was a self-proclaimed unparalleled cultivation genius, the young hero who enjoyed a monstrous reputation in the martial world.
Neither had ever tasted defeat, but at this moment, both felt an immense pressure.
They could already sense the risk of defeat.
Duan Yun was certain that this was the most troublesome and terrifying opponent he had ever encountered in his long history of upholding justice.
Yes, in this battle, he spoke very little and roared even less, because there was simply no time to roar.
There wasn't even a gap for his astonishing wisdom to turn.
In just a few dozen breaths, both sides had exchanged nearly a hundred moves, mostly attacking with little defense.
With a loud bang, a hole appeared in the wall. The two figures, with their hands and feet moving as afterimages, had already fought from inside the house to outside.
The Murong brothers struggled to climb out of the mud, but found that they had been hit in the abdomen and couldn't muster much true energy.
They struggled to provide support, but couldn't keep up with the speed of the two.
In the blink of an eye, the two figures flashed and had already fought from outside to the sweet potato field.
If the star's palms were fast and subtle, capable of shifting flowers and using the opponent's attack against them, then Duan Yun's moves were fast and strange. He was not only proficient in fist techniques, finger techniques, and clamping techniques, but also 'Body Piercing Sword Qi' could emerge from all parts of his body, either attacking or defending.
In an instant, the star seemed to be covered in palms, emitting a jade-like luster, while Duan Yun seemed to have several hands and swords constantly growing from his body. He wasn't as fast as the star, but he had the advantage of 'Dual Flying Aspects' and a variety of techniques.
With two crisp bangs, Duan Yun punched the star on the upper edge of her chest, shattering her bright, moon-colored white clothes, while Duan Yun was also struck in the abdomen by the star's palm, sending him flying heavily.
Whoosh...
Here, it was already a muddy field.
The muddy field must have been recently irrigated, so the ground was covered in wet mud.
Both sides were in the field.
If the two could rely on their movements to tread on the wet mud without sinking, then at this moment, the two who had hit each other had already crashed into the mud.
The star's pure white clothes were torn, and her skirt was also stained with silt.
When she landed after being hit, true energy flowed behind her, as if an invisible hand was holding her up, and she floated up.
Her skin was already as white as the bright moon, and at this moment, she was like a lotus emerging from the mud.
Duan Yun endured the severe pain and climbed up. In the star's eyes, the two beautiful aspects behind him had arched and surrounded him, as if embracing him.
"Limitless Love!"
At the moment of separation, Duan Yun didn't hesitate and activated his ultimate move!
In an instant, 'Body Piercing Sword Qi'涌 from both his left and right hands.
The left was shaped like a knife, and the right was a sword.
The star only felt the wet mud on the ground sink, then countless fine marks rotated out.
The next moment, Duan Yun had soared into the sky.
The aspects behind him were like his huge wings, and the 'Body Piercing Sword Qi' in his hands had rotated into afterimages.
The air stagnated, and the "Limitless Love" hurricane formed by 'Body Piercing Sword Qi' had crashed down with a spin!
Yes, even at the risk of internal injuries, he had to use this move.
Because he knew that if he didn't completely defeat this woman today, he would be the one to fall.
The nameless young hero encountered the greatest risk of his life!
In the star's eyes, the sky seemed to have an extra black hurricane.
The terrifying knife and sword hurricane carried the aura of shattering everything and ominous death.
Compared to the opponent's immediate use of a big move, she was half a beat slower.
But it was only half a beat.
A starlight-like brilliance flowed in her pupils in an instant.
Facing the move!
Who was she afraid of!
"Jade Flower Flawless!"
She saw her palms facing upwards, and a terrifying palm force soared into the sky. If the previous palm force emitted a jade-like luster, then at this moment, the palm force was like real jade.
Green jade, forming the shape of a flower.
The flower had nine petals, perfect and flawless!
Boom!
The black hurricane and the flawless jade flower collided, creating huge ripple-like waves.
The surrounding silt rolled like waves, and the sweet potato field next to it followed.
It was as if countless invisible cows were plowing the field.
Midway, the terrifying force triggered mechanisms, and the sounds of explosions and arrows tearing through the air were endless.
Some Bright Jade Palace disciples who had heard the movement were forced back by the force in an instant.
Those who didn't have time to retreat had their pants blown off by the force, revealing their white buttocks.
In a short period of time, the black hurricane of 'Limitless Love' and the jade flower of 'Jade Flower Flawless' seemed to have collided thousands of times.
Boom!
After the last collision, the hurricane and jade flower collapsed.
Both sides revealed their figures from the sword wind and palm wind, their clothes torn and weak.
Two crisp sounds!
The two who had just used their ultimate moves couldn't muster much true energy, but they were still attacking each other. At the moment their figures crossed, they slapped each other.
The damage wasn't great, but the insult was extreme.
Both sides panted for a moment. Blood oozed from Duan Yun's lips, and 'Body Piercing Sword Qi' solidified in his hand again.
"Even if I die, I will love."
Seeing Duan Yun about to use another life-threatening move, the star couldn't help but say, "Wait!"
Duan Yun gasped for breath and shouted, "Wait for what? Kneel down and beg for mercy if you admit defeat!"
The star gritted her teeth and said, "I admit defeat? Don't think this palace can't kill you! I just find it strange, why are you lunatics fighting to the death like this."
Duan Yun was actually in extreme pain, feeling like he was running a long-distance endurance test to the limit in his previous life.
No, he was also injured.
The star had a similar feeling.
She wasn't afraid to fight this lunatic to the end, she still had trump cards, but she knew that fighting would come at a huge cost for both sides.
She had important matters to attend to now and couldn't afford the cost, so she hesitated and felt inexplicably strange.
Fighting to the death for no reason was indeed very strange, she hadn't even brushed her teeth today.
"Fight to the death? You snatched my people and left a letter to anger me, didn't you think about fighting to the death?" Duan Yun roared.
How dare you not give the young hero face and still want to avoid fighting to the death?
"Snatch your people? What people?" The star asked in confusion.
"What are you pretending for? Ning Qing and Ziyu! My brother's woman and sister, they are also mine," Duan Yun said with a serious face.
"Ning Qing? Demon Duan, this palace knows you. If Ning Qing were placed in the past, she would have been captured back even if it meant searching the ends of the earth. But this time, this palace is giving you face and not pursuing the matter. The Bright Jade Palace didn't capture Ning Qing and that Ziyu back at all," the star said.
She was telling the truth. After failing to capture them once and learning about the relationship between the Murong brothers and Duan Yun, she decided to temporarily give the other party face.
After all, she had more important things to do.
But who knew that the other party would come to her door instead.
Duan Yun said in surprise, "You didn't capture them? Who captured them if you didn't? Don't lie!"
The star's expression was displeased as she said, "This palace is lying? Is there anything in the world that this palace needs to lie about?"
Duan Yun was a little confused this time.
He could tell that people like the star wouldn't deign to lie.
And in the martial world, it was rumored that these two palace masters were the proudest women.
So he said, "If it wasn't you, could it be your sister or other elders of the Bright Jade Palace."
"Didn't you just say that someone left a letter to anger you?" the star said.
"There is a letter."
"Where's the letter?"
Duan Yun rummaged in the depths of his clothes and took out the piece of paper.
The letter had just been partially shattered by the true energy inside, but the handwriting on it could still be vaguely recognized.
The star picked up the letter and read, "Hearing that you have a pair of beauties, seeing them today, they are very much to my liking. I miss them as I miss you."
Finally, the star looked at Duan Yun as if he were an idiot.
"I and my sister have never been married, we would never use such a title, and we don't have the habit of leaving letters to people. In the martial world, there aren't many women who like to use such a title to leave letters, especially if they are experts.
Have you looked at this properly?"
As she said this, the star pointed to the place where the letter ended, where a person was drawn.
"Isn't it just a woman? The Bright Jade Palace is full of women," Duan Yun said.
"This is Guanyin."
"Guanyin?"
Duan Yun looked again and still couldn't tell it was Guanyin, but the sitting posture and gestures were a bit like the Guanyin in the temple.
"This is the logo of Jade Guanyin. You are in the martial world, don't you understand!" the star shouted loudly.
As she said this, her chest swelled up with anger.
Duan Yun blinked his eyes and asked in confusion, "Are you saying, I came to the wrong place?"
The star also blinked her beautiful big eyes and said, "What do you think?"
Duan Yun gasped.
He had imagined countless times the experience of saving people and avenging the shame of not giving face, but he never expected this.
It was as if you were sure that someone had stolen your brother's wife, you and your brother brought weapons to the door, smashed someone else's house, and even fought with them, only to find out that you had come to the wrong place.
The scene was once very embarrassing.
Duan Yun tried to quibble, "Ning Qing is someone your Bright Jade Palace is looking for, you had conflicts with the Murong brothers, and they disappeared, so naturally we thought of you. Besides, I have no grievances with Jade Guanyin, why would she bother me."
The star read aloud again, "Hearing that you have a pair of beauties, seeing them today, they are very much to my liking. I miss them as I miss you, I think of them all the time, I hope you don't forget my longing.
--Your servant, again."
"For what? Jade Guanyin is a famous slut, she likes men, especially famous men. You have been in the limelight so much in the past two years, you look okay, she has taken a fancy to you, captured your people, and set a trap to seduce you, is there any problem with this statement?" the star asked.
"Ah?"
Duan Yun was stunned for a moment, and wisdom flashed in his mind, and he actually felt that everything was reasonable.
This was also the reason why the Great Elder knew nothing about Ning Qing and Ziyu.
God, I really came to the wrong place.
