Transmigration with Cheat Codes Chapter 30.1: Guidance

The main gate was wide open, and one could vaguely see the disciples guarding outside lying down. Not only did they not hear the footsteps of the newcomers, but they also did not catch the slightest sound of how the others lost their combat capability.

Liu Hongan, shocked and pale, could hardly support himself with his iron staff. "Who, who are you? How did you get in?"

— There were people guarding outside the courtyard, so why didn't they hear the alarm?

Ma Yangqi and Yang Zhi, sensing that something was amiss, hurriedly walked in.

Yang Zhi's gaze fell on the broken rope – most of the breaks on the rope were quite evident and displayed a sharp, cut-like appearance, while a few were more concealed. From the condition, it appeared as if they had broken due to prolonged friction.

Evidently, before this young lady appeared to rescue them, Chen Shen had secretly cut the rope without revealing it. However, if the young man knew in advance that someone would come to rescue him, why would he go through all the trouble?

Ma Yangqi greeted with effort, "This female warrior, judging by your appearance, I assume you are also a fellow martial artist. Since you are a martial artist, why did you break into our White Horse Escort Agency?"

Meng Jintang smiled faintly and said, "Since we are fellow martial artists, why didn't you ask for my opinion before bringing my incompetent junior here?"

Since this young girl appeared, all she did was extend her hand and untie the ropes binding Chen Shen. Without mentioning any other martial skills, her ability to use her palm as a knife was enough to make a name for herself in the martial world.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhi thought to himself that something was not right.

In the martial world, when people argued and insulted each other, it might be a repairable feud. However, if someone insulted your martial lineage, if the other party did not retaliate, it might be challenging to continue moving in the martial world.

Since this young lady addressed Chen Shen as "junior," the person who taught Chen Shen the palm technique should be her senior.

Yang Zhi and Ma Yangqi had the same thought at this moment – Liu Hongan's words just now were too impolite, and even if the other party were to kill him directly because of it, it wouldn't be considered a breach of martial ethics.

Liu Hongan's face also changed drastically, and after a long while, he forced a smile and said, "I once asked Mr Chen about his martial lineage, and he has always been unwilling to disclose it. How did he suddenly become this young lady's junior?"

Meng Jintang said calmly, "His martial skills are not exemplary, so naturally, he cannot mention who his master is outside."

Yang Zhi understood – it seemed that Chen Shen had been intentionally sent out by his sect's leader for training.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't provide additional assistance, but his senior martial sister must have felt that he had been staying in the escort agency for too long and was concerned, so she came to check on him.

Chen Shen didn't know why Meng Jintang referred to him as her junior, but he knew exactly when to chime in and said, "My martial skills are humble. Those who understand will naturally know that I lack proficiency, and those who don't might think that the martial arts I've learned are not powerful enough."

Ma Yangqi took a couple of steps forward and asked with a respectful gesture, "May I ask, young lady, are you from the Green Moth Palace of the Flower Butterfly Valley?"

Meng Jintang shook her head and said, "I am a disciple of the Hanshan Sect."

She glanced at Ma Yangqi and added, "We're all in Yezhou, so you could say we're neighbors of sorts."

Ma Yangqi hadn't heard of the Hanshan Sect before. When he sent people to inquire around, someone from Lin's Martial Arts Academy mentioned this young lady, saying that she had exceptional medical skills.

However, they hadn't had a deep conversation, so it was only today that he learned about Meng Jintang's sect.

This young lady had not shown any intention to take action, but Ma Yangqi felt a chilling sensation running down his spine. He was extremely uneasy and, relying on his vivid imagination, he fully sensed the fear of being struck down by a palm any moment.

Ma Yangqi glanced at Yang Zhi, who shook his head slightly, indicating that he also had never heard of the Hanshan Sect.

He originally had doubts, but based on the skill displayed just now, this young lady could easily take their lives if she wished, so why would she lie?

Ma Yangqi forced a smile and said, "Our neighbor has been by our side, yet I haven't had the opportunity to pay a visit. It's truly a case of ignorance on my part."

In his laughter, there was a clear sense of desolation, as if they were about to be wiped out at any moment.

Meng Jintang smiled at Chen Shen and said, "Junior, wasn't Mr. Liu just criticizing your palm technique? Why don't you have a three-move exchange with Mr. Liu and let him give you some pointers?"

The more relaxed and cheerful Meng Jintang appeared, the more Ma Yangqi and the others felt that the situation was grim. However, only Meng Jintang knew that she was genuinely in a good mood.

Chen Shen was like a magnet for trouble, and she had been thinking about visiting her martial peers when, as if on cue, the other party quickly provided her with a reason.

While speaking, Meng Jintang seemingly casually pushed Chen Shen forward from behind.

As soon as the opponent's palm touched his back, Chen Shen felt as if cool water was flowing into his meridians and slowly converging into his Dantian.

Liu Hongan knew that Meng Jintang would certainly want to confront him about his earlier rude comments. When he saw that the person facing him was Chen Shen rather than the young lady herself, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of how this young man performed, he was determined to lose in a move or two to let the other party vent their frustration.

Chen Shen bowed and then delivered a palm strike towards Liu Hongan.

Liu Hongan was older and held a higher position in the martial world. His true strength surpassed that of Chen Shen. Naturally, he saw no reason to strike first against a younger opponent.

Chen Shen didn't use "Wave-Breaking Palm" but rather a move from the "Basic Palm Techniques". This wasn't because he preferred the latter, but because the internal energy transmitted by Meng Jintang was difficult to control. Therefore, he had to use a more direct method to release the internal energy as quickly as possible.

Bang!

With Chen Shen's palm strike, Liu Hongan was filled with fear and dared not use his crutch as a weapon. Instead, he met the attack with his palm.

The two clashed with a resounding impact, but in the end, there was a loud bang, and Liu Hongan was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall. He opened his mouth, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

At first, Ma Yangqi thought that Liu Hongan was pretending to be defeated, appearing disheveled to calm the others down. However, when he saw Liu Hongan's pallid face, he realized that the situation was much worse than he had thought.

Meng Jintang stood with her hands behind her back, counting on the side, and smiled, "Two more moves to go."

Ma Yangqi suddenly realized that the "three moves'' mentioned by the girl just now were not figurative, but literal. However, seeing Liu Hongan's gasping appearance, even someone without martial arts could easily kill him. How could he resist two strikes from Chen Shen?

He looked at the girl in the green dress and couldn't help but feel a wave of fear because it wasn't her who made the move, but Chen Shen. This gave Ma Yangqi and the others an illusion that the girl's position in the martial world was higher than theirs.

On top of that, apart from Meng Jintang and Chen Shen, no one knew that the true energy they had sent into Chen Shen's Dantian had been exhausted.

When Ma Yangqi and his group looked at the two, their thoughts involuntarily wandered toward the idea of them being peerless masters...

At this moment, Yang Zhi, who had remained silent, stepped forward and stood in front of Liu Hongan, saying, "Brother Liu is already severely injured. If the young lady agrees, I will take the remaining two palms in his place."
