Chapter 477 The Way of Heaven

However, to practice the Divine Technique, one had to pay a price.

By the time Yuan Xiaoyun realized what the cost was, it was too late for him to turn back.

Once Yuan Xiaoyun inherited Ren Tongtian's mantle and practiced Ren Tongtian's martial arts, he also fell into the hands of those remnants from Tongtian Village.

From then on, Yuan Xiaoyun became their so-called Young Master, and these people willingly served him and acted on his behalf in secret, even digging up the dozens of boxes of gold and silver jewelry that Ren Tongtian had buried for him to use.

At the same time, Yuan Xiaoyun also had to bear the blood feud of Tongtian Village.

Yuan Xiaoyun could not help but sigh, if he had known this day would come, he perhaps would not have agreed to those people in the first place.

However, Yuan Xiaoyun also knew that since those people had approached him, his agreement made no difference.

Because once his identity as the son of Ren Tongtian was revealed, it would be difficult for him to continue in the Beggars' Sect, let alone in the Righteous Martial World.

Even if Deng Youtai, his master, was willing to stand up and speak for him, he could at best end up like Shopkeeper Wan of Wan's Coffin Shop, relegated to an insignificant position.

This was unacceptable for Yuan Xiaoyun, who was determined to advance and make a mark for himself.

This might just be Jianghu, where everyone has an inescapable fate.

To be a good person or a bad one was already determined the moment one was born.

By rights, Yuan Xiaoyun should have left the city by now, but he still couldn't bear to give up the imminent position of the Beggars' Sect Leader.

Even though he knew that the people in the dye workshop might have already been captured by Gu Qingyi, he still secretly sent men there, trying to see if he could eliminate them first.

As long as the most important witness was gone, he still had room to maneuver.

Yuan Xiaoyun planned to find a place to hide first and decide on his next move based on the situation.

However, after running a few more steps, he saw a somewhat familiar figure at the corner of the alley.

Ma Lu drew his sword and parried an incoming thrust from Yuan Xiaoyun.

The two of them immediately took three steps back each, and Yuan Xiaoyun lifted his right leg, making a pose as if lifting a cauldron with both hands towards the heavens. Then, a red light lit up in the card deck.

Three cards flew into his hands, and without pausing, Yuan Xiaoyun drew two more cards. Without even looking, he threw out one card and shouted,

"Dragon Capture Skill!"

The two cards were indeed the Heart Method Card of the Dragon Capture Skill, and Yuan Xiaoyun had already cultivated this Inner Strength to the 6th Level, which could provide him with 14 points of True Qi in one breath.

Then, without lowering his head, Yuan Xiaoyun played another card— the Eternal Life Armor.

This card not only provided him with 23 points of parry but also came with a Healing State, which activated upon receiving an attack and could restore 4 points of Life each turn.

The value might not seem high, but this item was stackable, and each layer of Healing lasted six turns, making Ma Lu frown slightly.

After playing two cards, Yuan Xiaoyun did not end his turn but, continuing his turn, played another card—Hundred Faces Thousand Forms.

This was an attack card, but strangely, its power section was zero.

This was why Yuan Xiaoyun could play it first.

However, an attack card with zero power could not inflict any damage even if played, but Ma Lu then looked at the effect of the Hundred Faces Thousand Forms card and found that it could randomly transform into any move card played by the opponent in the next turn and then return to the user's hand.

This magical effect was also new to Ma Lu; after all, his own Wandering Shadow under the Moon could only copy one of his cards, but Yuan Xiaoyun could plainly copy the opponent's card, which was a bit outrageous.

Seeing the surprise on Ma Lu's face, Yuan Xiaoyun was not surprised and explained, "The methods Ren Tongtian cultivated might be wicked, but the martial arts he discovered himself are indeed powerful, almost reaching the realm of Tao, hehe, does that sound a bit ironic?

"So many experts in the Mystic Sect shut themselves away every day to comprehend the heavenly way, yet none are as close to understanding as a thoroughly villainous bandit leader; haha, it seems that this heavenly way is not such a great thing after all."

After finishing, Yuan Xiaoyun ended his turn, looking towards Ma Lu across.

"Little junior brother, I've played all my cards; now it's your turn."
