Chapter 340 The Arrival of the Carefree Taoist of Qingyun
"Uh, it's nothing, it's nothing. Um, is the car ready?"
Zhu Liuxiang said with a flushed face, afraid that Mu Xueqin would overhear something.
"All ready, Master. We can set off at any time."
After seeing Zhu Liuxiang off, Mu Xueqin wondered what was wrong with her master today; she felt something was off.
But she didn't care, turned around, picked up the walkie-talkie, and called Chen Qingxuan.
Zhu Liuxiang, on the other hand, sped off towards the sea.
Fortunately, the journey wasn't far, and Zhu Liuxiang arrived at Peach Blossom Fairy Island that very evening.
"Taoist Master, what brings you here?"
Chu Chen looked at Zhu Liuxiang, who looked travel-worn, and asked.
"You brat, do you even know who Kato Shimokazu is? He's a veteran grandmaster from Japan, the strongest war god of the Kato family. What, you're planning to go up there yourself if I don't come?"
Zhu Liuxiang glanced at Chu Chen and said irritably.
Chu Chen scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Daoist Master, I really want to try!"
"You? Using your hidden weapon? Do you know what a Grandmaster means?"
Helpless, Chu Chen had no choice but to exert all his strength and unleash his full power.
This scene left Zhu Liuxiang stunned.
"what happened?"
"You said before that you could absorb jade essence, but how could you enter the ninth rank in such a short time?"
"Master, I don't know why either, but my strength just appeared like that!"
Zhu Liuxiang stared intently at Chu Chen, then burst into laughter.
"Haha, I never expected you to have such a physique, kid! Congratulations, congratulations!"
Seeing this, Chu Chen brought him a chair and brewed him a pot of tea.
Then he smiled and said, "Then, Taoist priest, do you think I could go up and give it a try?"
Zhu Liuxiang poured himself a cup of tea and said thoughtfully.
"This Kato Shimoe, although he can't be considered a strong master, is still far beyond what you, a mere ninth-rank, can compare to."
"Although your hidden weapon is very powerful, you don't have any martial arts skills!"
This was exactly what he was worried about. In his eyes, Chu Chen was like a child with brute strength.
But a battle against a grandmaster is not something that can be won with brute force alone.
Unless one possesses power surpassing that of a Grandmaster, like the two bears from the Bear People Kingdom, Chu Chen is far from sufficient at present.
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately replied, "I have martial arts skills."
After saying that, he picked up the tetanus blade next to him and unleashed a series of slashes and thrusts in front of Zhu Liuxiang.
Zhu Liuxiang shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Where did you learn this stuff, kid? It's just some kind of farming trick!"
"Um... that's what Qingxuan taught me!"
"That brat is corrupting the students! He's corrupting the students! Just wait till we get back, I'll give him a good beating!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Liuxiang immediately began to curse and swear.
In his mind, this was nothing more than farming skills, and had nothing to do with martial arts.
However, Chu Chen didn't think so. In any case, as long as he was comfortable using the martial arts techniques, that was fine.
So he quickly said, "Taoist Master, why don't I go and give it a try, and you stay behind and cover for me?"
"You really want to give it a try?"
Zhu Liuxiang asked earnestly.
"That's right!"
Zhu Liuxiang watched Chu Chen's serious expression, and her fingers unconsciously tapped on the table.
After a long silence, he slowly said, "Very well, young man. You dare to challenge opponents stronger than yourself. In this respect, you are much better than that fool Chen Qingxuan. You are just like me back in the day."
"Then go and try it. With me here, he can't kill you!"
After agreeing on the terms, Chu Chen had his maid escort him back to the villa he and Jiu Mengzi had chosen, and then he went into his room.
The next day, Zhu Liuxiang disappeared without a trace early in the morning.
Chu Chen didn't care about this. He could figure out where the other man had gone with a little thought.
Before he knew it, the day of the agreed-upon duel arrived, and Chu Chen got up very early.
He put on a stab-proof vest, shoulder and knee pads, and a bulletproof helmet.
He carried a Glock, stun gun, pepper spray, dagger, and other weapons on his lower back.
In his hand, he held the tetanus blade.
"The three-day deadline has passed. Does the mighty Great Xia Dynasty not even dare to reply?"
Outside the wall, Kato Shimo's shouts could be heard again.
His voice was full of anger. He had stayed there for three whole days, and not a single person had come out to say a word or pay any attention to him.
If it weren't for the Japanese behind him, given his personality, he would have charged in long ago.
In his eyes, the wall in front of him was nothing more than a decoration.
But what he didn't know was that Chu San had also stayed in that fortress for three days, and whenever anyone on the ship made the slightest unusual move...
The machine gun in his hand would give him a blast of fire.
Just as Kato Shimo was about to reach his limit, suddenly, a head wearing an unknown hat peeked out from over the wall.
Holding a white object in his hand, he shouted at him, "Old man Kato, stop being so arrogant! What's wrong with you? As a veteran master of Japan, you dare to mess with a young man like me? Have you no shame?"
Kato Shimoko's eyes sharpened upon hearing this, and he stared intently at the figure who had somehow produced the sound, saying, "You are Chu Chen?"
"That's right, it's Lao Tzu!"
"Hmph, you little brat, didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders?"
"You, who are you to call an elder? You're just an old codger at best."
"Hmph, enough talk, come on board and fight if you dare."
Kato Shimohiro's patience had reached its limit. At this moment, he had the urge to rush forward and twist Chu Chen's head off, regardless of anything else.
But if I do that, then Great Xia will surely crush Japan.
Therefore, he was patient at this moment, knowing that once this kid was on his warship, the situation would completely change.
Killing him on one's own warship would at most be considered a duel, and the Great Xia would have no reasonable excuse to make things difficult for the Japanese.
Just as Chu Chen was about to answer, he found himself being lifted up.
Then, they sped off towards the Japanese warship.
"Master, I thought you had gone back!"
"Ahem, I'm just going to Linhai on some personal business. How could I, a Daoist priest, be a person who goes back on his word? You can go and fight in a moment without worry!"
Chu Chen rolled his eyes after hearing this. That red romance was all his; did he not know where you went?
However, Chu Chen wasn't foolish enough to expose it; that would be too embarrassing.
In a few leaps, the two landed steadily on the large Japanese ship.
"Kato, what's wrong? Are you getting worse with age? Starting to bully the younger generation?"
As soon as Zhu Liuxiang stopped, he pointed at Kato Shimo and started cursing.
"Hmph, Zhu Liuxiang, I challenged this kid to a duel today. What, you want to get involved too?"
Upon seeing Zhu Liuxiang arrive, Kato Shimohisa was indeed somewhat intimidated; he really couldn't defeat him!
