"Cousin, what level has your martial arts reached?"
In the open space of the villa's front yard, Wan Yunting and Ouyang Xiuxian had already taken their stances after breakfast. At the villa entrance, Zhang Xian'er, holding two steamed buns, her mouth stuffed full, watched them with anticipation.
"Late stage of Dan Jin!" Wan Yunting smiled.
"What?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Xiuxian immediately stopped his punch, staring at Wan Yunting with wide eyes in disbelief. "You're at the late stage of martial arts Dan Jin?"
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "Aren't you too, cousin?"
"But I'm a few years older than you."
Ouyang Xiuxian looked at him with immense disbelief and said, "However, it's as they say, you're a martial arts prodigy. It seems the rumors are true. In that case, cousin, I must spar with you."
Wan Yunting nodded. This time he didn't use his sword. He lightly took a stance and smiled, "Come on, cousin. I didn't get to experience Shaolin sect's martial arts during the ancestral ceremony last time. Let me learn from you this time."
"Haha..."
Ouyang Xiuxian directly took off his jacket, revealing a white tight-fitting short-sleeved t-shirt. His strong muscle lines were smooth and perfect. It was clear at a glance that these were not muscles built in a gym, but solid muscles. He clenched his fists, and his hands and entire body's muscles instantly condensed with explosive power. He glared at Wan Yunting and said, "Cousin, please!"
Seeing his robust and powerful muscles and his stance, Wan Yunting knew he was likely using the Arhat Fist of the Shaolin Temple. Without hesitation, Wan Yunting's eyes widened, and he attacked Ouyang Xiuxian. His footwork combined with his body movement was like a phantom. In the blink of an eye, Wan Yunting appeared before him and punched without hesitation...
Ouyang Xiuxian's eyes widened. He dared not be careless and met Wan Yunting's attack with the Arhat Fist. Their hands exchanged blows rapidly, and the sounds of fists and palms colliding could be heard continuously. Both were battle-hardened experts.
Ouyang Xiuxian had served in the army before, specifically as a special forces soldier, trained in killing techniques. Later, he became a lay disciple of the Shaolin sect. Because of his solid martial arts foundation and exceptional talent, he gained the appreciation of the Shaolin abbot, who personally took him as a disciple and taught him martial arts. Therefore, Ouyang Xiuxian's martial arts were extremely high.
"Hong Quan!"
After just over ten exchanges, Ouyang Xiuxian changed his fist technique again. His strong muscles erupted once more. He struck at Wan Yunting's lower abdomen with his left fist. Before the punch even landed, Wan Yunting could feel its powerful wind. He exerted force with his feet and spun in mid-air to dodge the punch. In an instant, Wan Yunting struck towards Ouyang Xiuxian's face with his palm...
*Bang!*
The fist and palm collided with a crisp sound, and an invisible surge of energy exploded between them. Wan Yunting landed and retreated several steps. Ouyang Xiuxian also retreated a few steps and looked at Wan Yunting with surprised eyes, asking, "Cousin, what palm technique is that?"
Wan Yunting took his stance again and said, "It's the Five Elements Palm of our Wuliang Daoist Temple!"
At this moment, Ouyang Xiuxian's blood was thoroughly stirred. He nodded and smiled, "Good skill, let's go again..."
The two changed their stances and wrestled again. They fought back and forth, evenly matched, with no clear winner...
Zhang Xian'er leaned against the villa entrance, continuously eating steamed buns while watching. Meanwhile, Duan Yingying also woke up and was leaning over the railing on the second-floor balcony, watching Wan Yunting and Ouyang Xiuxian fight below. She didn't know what was going on, but this was undoubtedly an opportunity for her to learn. Looking at Wan Yunting, her eyes were filled with admiration. She murmured to herself, "This guy is getting more and more powerful..."
"Oh no, why are they fighting?"
Xia Xiangyun and Ouyang Zhixin, returning from their daughter's side, saw Wan Yunting and Ouyang Xiuxian fighting in the front yard and thought they were having a dispute.
*Bang!*
Their hard fists collided, and energy flew. Wan Yunting and Ouyang Xiuxian both retreated, exchanged surprised glances, and then turned to shout at Ouyang Zhixin and the others, "Uncle, Aunt, my cousin and I are just sparring. You don't need to worry."
"Oh, then be careful and don't get hurt," Xia Xiangyun said, relieved.
"Don't worry, we won't," Ouyang Xiuxian replied. He then turned back to Wan Yunting excitedly and asked, "Cousin, what fist technique were you using just now? The energy was so potent!"
Wan Yunting smiled, "It's the Wuji Tiangang Fist technique of our Wuliang Daoist Temple."
Ouyang Xiuxian nodded and said, "I didn't expect Daoist martial arts to be so potent. Let's go again."
Wan Yunting nodded. Ouyang Xiuxian attacked again, and the two wrestled once more. Their skills were on par, with neither gaining an advantage. Therefore, Wan Yunting and Ouyang Xiuxian fought with great exhilaration. They continued for over forty minutes until Pang Yuan and Huang Zhen arrived at the courtyard gate. Wan Yunting hadn't even noticed.
"Refreshing."
Finally stopping, Ouyang Xiuxian couldn't help but exclaim and laugh, "Cousin, your fist and footwork are incredible. I admire you."
"You flatter me, cousin. Your punches just now were so fast I almost didn't react."
Wan Yunting also felt exhilarated. It had been a long time since he had met such a worthy opponent for sparring.
"I used my full strength, but it seems you haven't yet?" Ouyang Xiuxian glanced at Wan Yunting and chuckled.
Wan Yunting waved his hand and laughed, "I don't know many fist and footwork techniques. I was indeed giving it my all just now."
In reality, he had only used the fist and footwork techniques of the Wuliang Daoist Temple and had not used the skills of the Xiaoyao sect!
"But I've heard your swordsmanship is good."
Ouyang Xiuxian wiped the sweat from his body with a towel, as did Wan Yunting. He smiled and said, "I sparred with her this morning."
"Her?"
Following the direction Wan Yunting pointed, it was Zhang Xian'er at the entrance. She was currently eating a large bunch of grapes. Ouyang Xiuxian's eyes widened in surprise, "Cousin, is she really your bodyguard?"
"Hey, who are you calling a girl?"
This comment displeased Zhang Xian'er. Her peach blossom eyes glared at Ouyang Xiuxian, and she snorted, "Do you want to spar?"
Ouyang Xiuxian chuckled dismissively, "I'm afraid you'll cry."
"Hmph, who do you look down on?"
Zhang Xian'er was angered. She immediately leaped from the villa steps. Her free left hand turned into a palm and struck towards Ouyang Xiuxian...
*Hmm!*
In an instant, Ouyang Xiuxian's eyes widened. He saw the hidden energy in Zhang Xian'er's palm, which made his heart lurch. The Qi in his dantian instantly erupted and circulated to his right hand, which formed into a fist...
*Bang!*
Fist and palm collided. Ouyang Xiuxian was immediately forced back five or six steps before he could stabilize himself. He looked up at Zhang Xian'er, who had landed in front of him, and exclaimed in shock, "Such powerful internal energy!"
Zhang Xian'er glanced at him haughtily, continued eating her grapes, and snorted, "How about it? Still want to go?"
"I..."
"Forget it, cousin. We just finished fighting. There's no need to provoke her."
Wan Yunting quickly stepped forward to pull Ouyang Xiuxian back. After all, he had experienced Zhang Xian'er's skill that morning and knew she was very strong. Ouyang Xiuxian had just exerted so much energy fighting him, and if he fought Zhang Xian'er now, he would surely suffer and lose face.
Ouyang Xiuxian glared at Zhang Xian'er and said, "I'll come find you for a spar tomorrow."
"Tch."
Zhang Xian'er turned and returned to the villa entrance, sitting directly on the clean steps, eating grapes and saying indifferently, "I'll be waiting anytime. I'll beat you until you're spitting teeth..."
"Haha, Xiao Wan, you two truly have remarkable skills."
Pang Yuan and Huang Zhen, who had been lingering at the courtyard gate, entered under the guidance of Ouyang Zhixin. Wan Yunting turned around and said apologetically, "Director Pang, Director Huang, why are you here? I was just planning to visit you at noon."
Pang Yuan smiled, "We just wanted to pay a visit to your parents and discuss some matters!"
Knowing that Wan Yunting had spoken with Ouyang Liqun last night, Pang Yuan and Huang Zhen wanted to know the outcome and simultaneously visit Wan Yunting's birth parents.
Ouyang Zhixin and Xia Xiangyun also knew that Pang Yuan was the director of Huadu City and had always taken good care of their son. They smiled and said, "Director Pang, Director Huang, please come in."
"Alright, please..."
Wan Yunting and Ouyang Zhixin invited Pang Yuan and Huang Zhen into the villa's backyard. In the sunroom tea room, only the four of them were present. Even Xia Xiangyun was asked to leave by Ouyang Zhixin.
After drinking two cups of tea, upon hearing Wan Yunting's detailed account of his conversation with Ouyang Liqun last night, Pang Yuan and Huang Zhen exchanged glances. Ouyang Zhixin next to them revealed a surprised look and asked, "So, Liqun is really involved in drug trafficking abroad?"
"Yes," Wan Yunting nodded.
Although he hadn't explicitly admitted it during his conversation with Ouyang Liqun last night, the implication in his words had made everything clear.
"How could this Liqun do such a thing?"
Ouyang Zhixin found it incredible, unable to imagine Ouyang Liqun being involved in drug trafficking abroad and managing to expand the drug business to such an extent.
Wan Yunting looked at Pang Yuan and Huang Zhen, frowning, "The only trouble now is that we have no evidence of Ouyang Liqun's drug trafficking!"
"That's right."
Huang Zhen nodded and said, "He was so low-key abroad. Now that he's back in China, we really have no way."
Ouyang Liqun being the true mastermind behind the Qunlong drug trafficking syndicate was known by very few people within the syndicate abroad. Moreover, Ouyang Liqun was very discreet overseas, delegating most matters to Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang.
Now that Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang were dead, the clues had been completely severed.
Furthermore, Wan Yunting had also killed Carlo Quiggin, the boss of the Qunlong drug trafficking syndicate in Mexico. Unless they could capture Molten, the deputy captain of the elite armed escort team, to corroborate Ouyang Liqun's identity!
But that was utterly unrealistic!
"Without evidence, he cannot be convicted. It's like watching him continue to roam free in society!" Pang Yuan grumbled, frustrated.
Ouyang Zhixin frowned and said, "Xiao Wan, should we tell your grandfather about this matter?"
Wan Yunting shook his head slightly, "What's the point of telling him? Without evidence, if Ouyang Liqun insists he's not guilty, how can we explain it?"
Ouyang Zhixin nodded, agreeing with the sentiment.
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "Perhaps one person is the breakthrough!"
"Who?"
Pang Yuan, Huang Zhen, and Ouyang Zhixin immediately looked at him. Wan Yunting looked up at the three of them and said, "It's that woman Ouyang Liqun brought back, Ji Ruxue!"
