Chapter 61

　　Early in the morning, on the official road outside Fanzhou city, groups of warriors from the Cavalry Battalion on horseback were galloping on the road at high speed, and teams of officers and soldiers from the Xichuan Province were crossing mountains and ridges to conduct a carpet search, intending to bring the thieves who had caused a big commotion in Fanzhou city and broke into the Governor's Mansion at night to justice. The Governor-General has said that whoever can capture the thief in the portrait alive or kill him will be rewarded with 3,000 taels of silver, and the Governor-General will marry his fourth daughter to him.

　　Everyone in Fanzhou City has heard about the character of Qi Tiansheng's fourth daughter. Every now and then, she would take a group of Fanzhou City's playboys to the suburbs to drink and have fun, and behave in a dissolute manner. When she felt like it, she would have sex with him or her. Whoever marries her would probably be cuckolded. What's more, news came out last night that the thief who broke into the Governor's Mansion at night raped the fourth daughter and sprayed semen all over her body. She was seen naked by the guards of the Governor's Mansion like a cheap whore.

　　Despite this, many people still flocked to her. After all, there were still three thousand taels of silver, and they could become the governor's son-in-law. As for the fourth young lady with a bad reputation, they would treat her like a bodhisattva and let her do whatever she wanted. When they became successful, would they still be worried about not being able to find a good woman to carry on their family line? As a result, the entire Fanzhou City was mobilized and joined the search operation.

　　Pang Jun looked at the galloping cavalry and felt very satisfied: this was already the fourth cavalry team. Fanzhou City was well connected. Just in the direction he was leaving, there were already four cavalry teams passing by, not to mention the infantry teams and the gangsters. This scale was enough to distract Qi Tiansheng's energy, and the others would be safer.

　　Pang Jun was quite satisfied with the effect of this feint to the east and attack to the west. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt that there was something unusual in the atmosphere around him. He took a deep breath and found that there was a hint of powder in the air. He said, "Young lady, you are a great martial artist. I admire you. I would like to ask you, what do you want to do by following me?"

　　"Pah, pah, pah." Pang Jun had just finished speaking when a beautiful woman walked out of the dense forest accompanied by applause. Her hair was like a waterfall, and she had only a phoenix-head golden hairpin inserted in her hair. A pink and slender jade neck was revealed under her beautiful head. She was wearing a lake green tights, which outlined her figure, which was exquisite and graceful. The thin undergarment that was faintly visible tightly bound a pair of towering breasts. She looked at Pang Jun with a pair of charming eyes, as if she could see through people's hearts.

　　"Trouble." When Pang Jun saw this extremely beautiful mature woman, he couldn't help but frown and secretly groaned in his heart, because he recognized this beautiful woman in front of him. She was the "Goddess Concubine" who was highly skilled in martial arts and extremely coquettish when Pang Jun met her in Jiangnan Province and suffered serious injuries when they fought against her. However, compared with her previous coquettish and licentious appearance, the "Goddess Concubine" at this time gave people a feeling as cold and beautiful as frost.

　　The beautiful woman opened her red lips and spoke in a voice as sweet as a yellow oriole: "You are so young, but your martial arts are so advanced. Last night, you turned the whole Fanzhou city upside down. You are indeed worthy of being the 'Martial Arts Master' Liu Jun."

　　As soon as she spoke, Pang Jun was secretly amazed: Hasn't this "Goddess Concubine" been seen before? Why does she look like she's seeing me for the first time? However, her voice didn't sound as gentle and coquettish as the last time I heard it, but a little hoarse.

　　Then, Pang Jun heard the beautiful woman say, "I heard that some time ago, you ruined a good thing of my sister in Jiangnan Province. It is rare for you to escape from my sister's hands at such a young age. Originally, you, the Divine Guards, should have investigated the matter of Xichuan step by step and reported it to the emperor, and everything would have been fine. Who knew that you, a dishonest little guy, would go to Fanzhou City to make a scene and disturb my rest. So, tell me, how should I punish you?"

　　Pang Jun realized at this time that he probably met the sister of the goddess he met in Jiangnan Province last time, so he smiled and said, "It turns out that I disturbed Madam last night. I am really sorry. As for the matter of Jiangnan, Liu Jun was also acting on orders. I hope Madam will forgive me. Madam is a martial arts master with a broad mind. I believe she will not bother with a small character like me. I hope Madam will forgive me."

　　"The Divine Concubine" sneered, "Humph, you want me to let you go? Okay, I'll give you an incense stick of time. If you can hold out against me, I promise to spare your life." As soon as the words fell, the beautiful woman moved as fast as lightning, turning her palms into claws and going straight for Pang Jun. If she caught him this time, Pang Jun would be disfigured.

　　The martial arts of this "Goddess" are comparable to those of the "Goddess" whom Pang Jun met in Jiangnan a few months ago, both in terms of speed and strength. The only difference is that the moves of this "Goddess" are more solid, while those of the other are more agile. However, Pang Jun is not the Pang Jun of a few months ago. The acceleration of "Harmony Force" has greatly increased the speed of Pang Jun's internal force cultivation, giving him more capital to deal with the "Goddess"'s attack more easily.

　　These two "divine concubines" sisters are extremely powerful. In terms of the cultivation of internal strength, they are better than Master Hongzhi of Huangjue Temple. It's just that Master Hongzhi is better than these two women in the types of martial arts he is proficient in. However, these two stunning beauties are nameless in the martial arts world. Even Pang Jun, who used to live in the dark side of the martial arts world, doesn't know of their existence.

　　The two of them fought for more than fifty moves, and the surprise in the beautiful eyes of the Goddess grew: I have heard about this boy's actual combat moves and adaptability, and what is this strong internal force? When my sister fought with him before, she said that his internal force was not outstanding. After thirty moves, he had already reached the end of his strength. But now, after fifty moves, he is so comfortable and relaxed? Is it that my internal strength has regressed? Or has this boy had an adventure and made a breakthrough during this period?

　　During the battle with the Divine Concubine, Pang Jun was also quite surprised at his own improvement. Ever since he discovered that his internal force training speed had improved, he had not fought with top martial arts masters. Now he found that when he faced a master of the Divine Concubine's level again, he would no longer be at a loss like last time. Although he could not gain the upper hand, it should not be a problem for him to survive an incense stick of time.

　　However, after the two of them exchanged palm strikes, the goddess said again: "It is rare for you to have such great internal strength at such a young age. I have underestimated you. Next, I will let you see my true strength!" After that, she raised her hands and chopped out with lightning speed, heading straight for Pang Jun's vital points with her fierce palms.

　　Seeing that there was no escape, Pang Jun suddenly remembered the mantra of "guard" that he had seen in the secret text of "Lankavatara Sutra" before. He immediately changed his tactics, following the mantra's exercises and moves, and faced the attack head-on!

　　With a "bang", the palms of the Goddess hit Pang Jun's fists, and the air whistled through the air. After a breath, the two of them bounced away in opposite directions at the same time. The difference was that Pang Jun was blown away, his feet slid rapidly, rubbing against the ground, and finally hit a tree trunk, while the Goddess took several steps back and let out a "huh" sound.

　　The Goddess stopped attacking and suddenly asked Pang Jun, "Boy, who taught you martial arts?"

　　Pang Jun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Why bother asking, Goddess? With your attainments in martial arts and your tone, you have already guessed what martial arts I use. Isn't it redundant to ask me?" Pang Jun didn't know what kind of martial arts the formula he named "Hehe Jin" belonged to, so he had to bluff and trick the beautiful woman in front of him to see if he could find any clues.

　　"Hmph." The goddess snorted coldly and said no more. She continued to wave her pair of soul-stealing jade hands and attacked Pang Jun again. A terrifying palm force like a tidal wave suddenly surged towards Pang Jun. This palm force was mixed with a biting cold, as if it could freeze the surrounding air.

　　Pang Jun had been slightly injured in the previous fight. At this time, the Goddess also attacked as fast as lightning, and he still had no way to avoid it. He had to try to use the "guard" technique to deal with it again, and at the same time use all his internal strength to resist this palm.

　　The moment the goddess's jade hand touched Pang Jun's body, Pang Jun felt a piercing chill invading his arm and going straight to his heart and lungs. In desperation, he used the Yuan Yang Qi in his Dantian and the "Harmony Power" to forcibly merge the two auras together.

　　The Goddess suddenly discovered the strangeness of the whereabouts of her inner strength. She was startled and immediately separated from Pang Jun. She squinted her eyes and looked at him for a long time before she said faintly, "Humph, you are lucky today. I keep my word. The incense stick time is up and you can leave. But if we meet again next time, you won't be so lucky."

　　Pang Jun didn't expect that the Goddess would actually let him go. He looked around meaningfully, secretly used his internal strength to suppress the raging coldness in his body, and walked deeper into the jungle...

　　After Pang Jun left, a group of men in black came out of the jungle. The leader of the men in black knelt on one knee respectfully to the Goddess, and asked curiously, "May I ask, Goddess, why don't you keep this boy? If you keep him, he will be a disaster sooner or later."

　　"I know how to do things in moderation. It is never your turn to talk about me. As for this boy, there are still some mysteries hidden. I will make a decision after I confirm some things." The goddess watched Pang Jun leave, her eyes flickering, and she spoke lightly, while a jade finger gently tapped the forehead of the leader of the men in black.

　　As she spoke these words, all the men in black sweated profusely. The leader of the men in black trembled and knelt on one knee to apologize, saying, "I am guilty. I should not have doubted your decision. Please forgive me."

　　"Hmph, I'll spare your life this time. If you talk nonsense again next time, it won't be that easy. Let's stop here today and go home. You've been out for too long, Qi Tiansheng will be suspicious. We don't need to worry about other things for now. Big things are coming, and we have to plan well in Xichuan. We can't let these things ruin the big things." The Goddess said as she left the jungle. As she walked away, she said in a voice that no one else could hear except herself, "Xuan Ji Secret Codex? Interesting…"
