Chapter 85: All Losers
The air quality in ancient times was truly exceptional.
Especially on nights after the rain, the clear moonlight and twinkling stars are truly captivating.
The following afternoon, the sky was high and the clouds were light.
The smoke from the chimneys behind Songhe Tower rises straight into the vast blue sky.
Qi Ming arrived downstairs under the watchful eyes of passersby.
After all, he was surrounded by six beautiful women of all ages, which was quite eye-catching.
The old woman was on the second floor.
After seeing Li Qiushui, Li Qingluo, Wang Yuyan, and Li Qinglu, he said with great disdain:
"The daughter of a lowly servant looks so much like her; it's clear that this baseness is ingrained in her very bones!"
Li Qiushui retorted sharply, "Even if it's a bit lowly, it's better than being short, right? Senior Brother didn't make the wrong choice, otherwise his descendants would also be short."
The old woman immediately lost her guard and even exhaled two puffs of white steam from her small nostrils, which was really adorable.
But he was ruthless and launched a sneak attack.
In an instant, he unleashed twenty-seven Life and Death Talismans, an indiscriminate attack!
Qi Ming was prepared.
He used the Nine Yang True Qi to activate the "Shocking the Hundred Miles" move from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, unleashing a pale blue vortex of palm wind that reflected all the Life and Death Talismans back.
Without even blinking, the Old Woman swept the Life and Death Talismans aside with her honed Six Yang Palm technique...
Ding Chunqiu cried out "Ouch!" and said with a pale face:
"Master Uncle, I've been infected again!"
He had previously answered 12 questions correctly, and today he answered 18, making it a round number.
Among all the evil spirits and heretics in the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands, none of them have been afflicted with as many talismans as he has!
How lucky you are!
"Ding Chunqiu?"
Li Qiushui said unhappily, "What are you doing here with her? Are you trying to betray me? You bastard!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingluo hurriedly called upstairs, "Father, it's me..."
Li Qiushui interrupted, "He's not your biological father! Your father is Wuyazi, don't mistake a thief for your father!"
Li Qingluo exclaimed "Ah!" in disbelief:
"You're the one who made me call you 'Dad,' and I've been doing it for years!"
Upon hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter, the old woman immediately burst into laughter:
"You shameless wretch! You dare claim your senior brother loves you and has a child with you? It's clearly your junior nephew's child!"
Qi Ming laughed and said, "Senior, your words are biased! Your senior brother did indeed have a loving relationship with the Dowager Consort back then, in a cave at the foot of Wuliang Mountain in Dali! Because he was so happy, he even wrote a poem, what was it called again? I think it was called 'Wu Yazi wrote for Qiu Shui Mei, there is no sun or moon in the cave, the greatest joy in the world'? There was also a cradle, obviously where his mother-in-law slept."
Li Qinglu laughed and said, "That's right, I was there too, I saw it with my own eyes, especially that jade statue, it was so lifelike, it was carved by Grandpa Wuyazi based on Grandma. If you don't believe me, go see for yourself. If you don't see it, you can do whatever you want with me!"
Granny Tong was devastated: "This...this heartless little thief, he really..."
As he spoke, he mistook Ding Chunqiu for Wuyazi and slapped him repeatedly until his junior disciple grimaced and screamed.
But he quickly regained his senses and glared at Li Qiushui, saying:
"No matter who that little thief loves, I'm in this state all because of you, and this score must be settled!"
Li Qiushui snorted, "You've ruined my face, how are you going to settle accounts then? You're no better!"
The old woman threw Ding Chunqiu aside and gestured to Li Qiushui, saying, "Then come on! Even if you have others helping you, I'm not afraid!"
"Wait a moment!"
Qi Ming shouted, "Putting aside the fact that she prevented you from growing up and that you disfigured her, what exactly is the point of your fighting? Or rather, who are you fighting for? Is it just for a mere Wu Yazi? Then it's completely unnecessary!"
The old woman scolded angrily, "You can throw away such hatred? You little brat, you don't understand our affairs at all! Get out of the way!"
Li Qiushui said sweetly, "Qi Ming is my grandson-in-law and great-grandson-in-law, so naturally he should help me. Why should he stand aside? Are you saying you're not afraid, but are you actually very afraid?"
"You lowly servant, you're asking for death!"
With a furious shout, the old woman leaped down and unleashed the Heavenly Plum Blossom Hand, creating countless afterimages as she aimed straight for Li Qiushui's neck.
Qi Ming caught it.
"Okay, okay!"
Granny Tong laughed in fury: "I'll deal with you first, then settle the score with her!"
Having said that, he moved his palms swiftly, his body spinning like a top, rapidly circling around Qi Ming's body, clearly enraged.
Qi Ming wasn't in a hurry.
They even used slow and steady tactics, employing the sticky and elusive techniques of Tai Chi, to outmaneuver this long-overdue loli, fighting their way out of the city.
Li Qiushui and the others naturally followed.
Some martial arts figures also went to watch the spectacle.
Ding Chunqiu didn't dare to slip away.
On the shore of Taihu Lake.
Two figures, one in green and one in red, continued to intertwine.
The old woman shouted, "You little thief, this is a matter between me and her, and has nothing to do with you juniors!"
Qi Ming reached out and pushed her little fist away, laughing as he did so:
"What happens between you two is none of my business, but what happens to me is very much your business!"
"What do you mean?"
"I know a big secret about Wu Yazi, but I won't tell you unless you sisters can join forces to take me down!"
"How arrogant!"
"The dragon that soars too high will regret it!"
Qi Ming withdrew his left hand and smoothly transitioned from Tai Chi Cloud Hands to Grasp the Sparrow's Tail, while simultaneously unleashing his right palm!
A deafening roar!
The old woman leaped up, and the willow tree behind her was completely smashed to pieces!
"Two dragons drawing water!"
The powerful gang leader Qi, not one to back down, unleashed another double palm strike, his palm power incredibly strong and domineering!
Tong Lao was not to be outdone, and used the "Yang Ge Tian Jun" technique of the Tianshan Six Yang Palms to confront Qi Ming head-on.
A muffled thud!
The old woman was in mid-air and, being unable to exert enough force, had no choice but to turn around to dissipate the force.
True energy overflowed, and a booming sound reverberated within a radius of ten feet...
The plot is based on the original work.
But the power of martial arts is different!
"White Rainbow Palm Force!"
Li Qiushui entered the fray, but offered a word of warning with a palm strike.
"Well done!"
Since his transmigration, Qi Ming has never used his full strength. Today, he can finally have a proper fight!
He then roused himself and devoted all his knowledge to the battle.
Three figures moved crisscrossing and alternating, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
For ordinary people, forget about it.
Those who tried to secretly learn the martial arts techniques invariably suffered from dizziness, blurred vision, and incessant vomiting due to their shallow skill.
Li Qinglu asked, "Cousin, please explain quickly!"
Wang Yuyan shook her head and said, "I've never seen these skills before, how can I explain them?"
suddenly.
"Ah Zhu, my wife!"
Qi Ming's voice came through: "When you were focused on disguising yourself, you added an extra little mole. Did you miss it?"
A'Zhu laughed and said, "Of course not!"
"Haha, that's right!"
Qi Ming laughed loudly and used his dual-arms fighting technique!
His right palm unleashed a shockwave that traveled a hundred miles, while his left palm unleashed a powerful strike, repelling the two elders who had charged forward again. He then explained:
"I remember it very clearly; there was a small mole on the lip of that jade statue!"
After hearing this...
The two elders were both stunned.
Li Qiushui exclaimed in disbelief, "It was actually her?"
The old woman, stunned, said, "So it was her!"
Li Qingluo and the other women walked over and winked at Qi Ming.
Qi Ming sighed, "That means they were both losers, losing to the Empress Dowager's twin sister!"
