Chapter 64: My Heart is Most Sincere

Lu Chengwen didn't even hesitate, he retaliated with a slap.

What's going on?

I'm also in the entertainment circle now. Do you think you're the only one who knows kung fu?

Even if you were in your prime, I couldn't beat you. Now that you've been beaten by Iron Lump King and thrown like this, why do you think you can beat me?

I'm already being merciful by not taking advantage of your weakness and trying to kill you!

Long Aotian also didn't expect Lu Chengwen to know kung fu.
He always thought that there must be something fishy about the Unmoving Ming King Skill in the warehouse!

Lu Chengwen was indeed a genius, but he couldn't have mastered the Unmoving Ming King Skill to that extent!

That was terrifying, terrifying to the point where it was unreasonable, terrifying to the point where it defied common sense.

It wasn't like he and Iron Lump King had conspired together, he really couldn't figure it out, how could it be possible.

But at this moment, Long Aotian understood. Lu Chengwen knew something.

Although not much, it was obvious that he had already made some progress.

Ancient martial arts are divided into several stages:

Lower Four Gates, Middle Four Gates, Upper Four Gates.

It is said that there is also something called the Heavenly Four Gates above them, but no one has ever seen it.

He had integrated the four major families as his financial support to reach the height of the Upper Four Gates.

Now he was already a master of the Middle Four Gates.

And Lu Chengwen had stepped into the ranks of ancient martial artists, clearly at the entry-level of the Lower Four Gates—Body Tempering!

At this stage, he had officially entered the ranks of ancient martial artists.

Don't underestimate this level of Body Tempering. It was already a world of difference from ordinary people.

A master of Body Tempering, although at the bottom of the ranks of ancient martial artists, was a rare talent among the masses, one in ten thousand.

A master of Body Tempering, the basic potential of the body had been fully awakened. The strength, and recovery speed, including speed, strength, and explosive power, were all beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

It could be said that a qualified master of Body Tempering could easily handle twenty or thirty ordinary people. It was like a physical education teacher going to a kindergarten class, they could walk sideways.

Lu Chengwen's counterattack caught Long Aotian off guard, and after they clashed, both of them were not at ease.

Long Aotian was suffering because his injuries were much worse than Lu Chengwen's.

Not only did he fall, but he had also been beaten up by Iron Lump King before!

Iron Lump King, you know?

In his consciousness, Long Aotian was an unforgivable existence that had repeatedly deceived him.

He almost chased after Long Aotian to beat him to death, smashing him to the point of being scrapped before he fell.

If he hadn't fallen off the cliff, he would have been beaten to death by Iron Lump King.

So at this moment, Long Aotian was not much stronger than Lu Chengwen, even weaker.

In this clash, Long Aotian felt that several of his ribs had been displaced, making it difficult for him to take a breath. The pain made his vision darken, and he almost fainted again.

Lu Chengwen was also seriously injured, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth.

The two stared angrily at each other, both wanting to kill the other.

But now neither of them could do so.

Hun Tian Gang chuckled from behind.

"Not bad, both of you have some skills, not bad."

Hun Tian Gang said, "It seems that you two have some grudges?"

Long Aotian gritted his teeth, "I and him are sworn enemies!"

Lu Chengwen also glared at Long Aotian, "Sooner or later, I'll break your bones and feed them to the dogs!"

"Hahaha! Indeed, brothers united, loyal unto death!"

Both of them looked at Hun Tian Gang together, thinking, are you even human? Do you have long ears?

Where did you get the idea of brothers united? Loyal unto death?

Hun Tian Gang said, "So, I still have an Inner Palace Eight Palaces Pill here, which can quickly repair the Inner Palace's Six Organs and Eight Palaces, and treat all internal injuries. There is only one pill, so which one of you wants it?"

Long Aotian, clutching his ribs, knelt down with difficulty, "Senior! The junior's name is Long Aotian and has been practicing martial arts since childhood. The junior believes he has some talent and is now an awakened master of the Middle Four Gates. If the senior is willing to save the junior's life, the junior will be grateful for the rest of his life, and will repay the senior's kindness, even at the cost of his own life!"

Hun Tian Gang nodded, "At your age, to become an awakened master of the Middle Four Gates is indeed extraordinary."

Lu Chengwen clasped his fists, "Senior, the junior's life is worthless. If I hadn't accidentally fallen into the valley, I don't think I would have survived. But Long Aotian cannot be saved. This pill, I ask the senior to give it to Miss Xuening. She is young and kind-hearted, with a bright future ahead of her, and should not die in a place like this."

Long Aotian hurriedly said, "Senior, Miss Xuening is the junior's close attendant. Once the junior's internal strength is restored and his internal injuries are healed, he can use his skills to heal her. If the pill is given to the junior, it is equivalent to saving two lives! As for Lu Chengwen, he only has the primary entry-level Body Tempering strength and is completely unable to help others heal."

"Hmm." Hun Tian Gang nodded, "Lu Chengwen, right? It's your turn to speak."

Lu Chengwen thought for a moment, "Hua Xuening's external injuries will heal, and with the Inner Palace Eight Palaces Pill, her internal injuries will also heal. A master who is completely healed inside and out can still save Long Aotian, right? Maybe she'll be so happy that she'll save me too. Haha."

Hun Tian Gang nodded, "You are all good-hearted children, good children."

Hun Tian Gang sighed, "Do you know? When I was young... sigh!"

He sighed heavily again.

Lu Chengwen quickly said, "Really?"

"Yeah." Hun Tian Gang looked into the distance with a look of despair, "Later on, my life took a different direction..."

Lu Chengwen sighed, "So that's how it is."

"But life is full of unexpected changes, I didn't expect that later on..."

Lu Chengwen shook his head, "It's really sad."

Hun Tian Gang slapped his thigh, "But I believe! A living person can't be allowed to die from holding urine, so I..."

"You understand, right?"

Lu Chengwen praised, "Senior's perseverance is worth learning from all juniors. Even in such circumstances, Senior is still so strong and brave."

!

"So, decades later, the martial world had someone like me. But... how does that saying go?"

"'The prosperous must decline'?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hun Tian Gang said, "Until after that great battle, I became disheartened, without any remaining attachment to the world."

"So that's why you're living in seclusion here, just seeking tranquility."

"You know, in one's lifetime..."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"But sometimes, things just..."

"You can say that again!"

"I don't care, but even so, deep down..."

"Don't say anymore, I understand you!"

Long Aotian's mind was jumping from one topic to another, observing the conversation.

He thought, what are these two up to!?

Why are they going back and forth like this? Are they chatting or performing a comedy routine?

"Damn, what did he say that you understood?"

"You didn't catch a single specific detail! It's all ellipses, and you're still cracking jokes!?"

"Are you kidding me!?"

"If you're not chatting, then what are you two doing? Going back and forth, full of emotions!"

"If it weren't for the age difference, I'd probably be kneeling and bowing to him by now!"

"If you're chatting, what the heck are you talking about?"

"Not a single serious sentence, it's all filler words!"

"Uh, yeah, sure, whatever, oh, hey, uh-huh... and then a 'go to hell!'"

"Playing games!?"

Long Aotian said, "Luchengwen, what the hell did you hear?"

Luchengwen wiped away tears, "Just don't talk to me right now, hearing about Senior's experience, it's heartbreaking!"

Long Aotian thought, I really want to smack you right now, you shameless jerk!

You're playing this role pretty well!

Long Aotian said, "Are you sure you understood Senior's story? Tell me!"

Luchengwen was overcome with sadness, "Didn't you feel moved to hear about Senior's life? The hero's experiences, the loneliness... ah... don't you feel any emotion? Any sadness?"

Long Aotian felt like tearing Luchengwen apart.

So shameless!

Really, shameless!

Oh my god! Can he really act like this? Treating the old man like a fool!?

Just as Long Aotian was about to speak, Hun Tian Gang said:

"Alright, fate has brought you together. Regardless of your past grievances, today I'll make the decision for you. You two will become sworn brothers under me. Forget your past disputes, from now on, you're fellow disciples. How about it?"

Long Aotian pointed at Luchengwen, "Me? Sworn brothers with him!? And fellow disciples!?"

Luchengwen excitedly clasped his hands together, "Elder Brother!"

"Go to hell!" Long Aotian was on the verge of exploding, "I, Long Aotian, the Border War God, a master in the Middle Four Gates, and the young master of the organization! Am I supposed to become your sworn brother!?"

Hun Tian Gang nodded, "Indeed, you martial artists are open-minded and bold!"

Long Aotian looked at the confused old man and thought, I'll be the first one to take you down when this is over!

Hun Tian Gang said, "Kneel down and bow to each other. After you've sworn brotherhood, I'll help you with your injuries."

Long Aotian realized he had no other choice now.

Either he became sworn brothers with Luchengwen, or he'd eventually end up dead in this cave because of this confused old man.

He suppressed his disgust and slowly knelt down.

Both of them faced the Hun Tian Gang and bowed their heads.

Hun Tian Gang said, "First bow to the heavens!"

Long Aotian grumbled, "Under the guidance of the master, forming a bond..."

He gritted his teeth, "With my sworn brother, Chengwen, from now on..."

He couldn't continue!

Luchengwen said, "From this day forward, we brothers will stand together, never betraying each other! If we don't show filial piety to our master..."

Luchengwen turned to Long Aotian with a clasped hand, "Elder Brother!"

Then he turned to Hun Tian Gang, "May you die a horrible death!"

"If we do evil in the future..."

He turned back to Long Aotian, "Elder Brother!"

Then back to Hun Tian Gang, "May you be dismembered!"

"If we betray our sect..."

He turned to Long Aotian, "Elder Brother!"

Then continued to Hun Tian Gang, "May your seven orifices bleed to death!"

Luchengwen went on with his oath, each time shouting to Long Aotian:

"Elder Brother!"

"May your intestines rupture!"

"Elder Brother!"

"May you be pierced by a thousand arrows!"

"Elder Brother!"

"May your body be dismembered!"

"Elder Brother!"

"May lightning strike you down!"

"Elder Brother!"

"May your lineage end!"

"Elder Brother!"

"May you be chopped up and fed to dogs!"

"Elder Brother!"

"May more than a hundred people take turns kicking you, focusing on your... and then burn you, and keep kicking until..."

Long Aotian grabbed him, "That's enough, that's enough, I've had enough of this!"

Luchengwen was taken aback, "But I haven't vented my anger yet."

Hun Tian Gang wiped away tears, "Chengwen, you are the most sincere disciple I've ever met!"

Long Aotian couldn't hold it in anymore, and blood began to trickle from the corners of his mouth.
