大唐双龙传 [Da Tang Shuang Long Zhuan] by Huang Yi

[akolaw]

this is a long path, we are at book 14, and they still have a lot of room to grow.

[akolaw]

According to my unofficial personal ranking, the two boys were 2nd group in 2nd tier Bb before this, and Ning were 1st group in 1st tier Aa, so 4 levels ahead of them.

The major benefit for them is to purify them (see the dirt come out), and therefore erase a lot of barriers between different levels, and of course bump them into next level Ba. So a lot of benefit for the future and some for now.

Other translators might be busy... When there's no new instalments, only people like me would make a comment...

Say, I don’t usually look around the forum, but I just noticed that the Unabridged Thread is still high on the list of the first page; and it’s been almost three weeks. In the past, in just a few days it would go down so far, more often than not by the time I had to post the whole book, the thread would be on second page, sometimes third. What happen here? Where is everybody? Did the rest of us suddenly decide to leave together? I was quite happy that the forum seemed alive, but now it is dormant …

What happen here? Where is everybody? Did the rest of us suddenly decide to leave together? I was quite happy that the forum seemed alive, but now it is dormant …

Some of them is still in the Palace City, and cannot log into forum because it's heavily besieged.
The rest is hiding in fear because Zhu Yu Yan already made her move.

[foxs]

Ysabel, HPC, Jaya, Sky, DongBin, you are welcome. Ari, welcome back! How's baby? Almost one, I reckoned? Akolaw, thanks for sharing. Xu Xiong, Xiaohu ... I was just wondering because it is unusual; don't you think so?

Under the sunny sky, people and vehicles were coming and going on the Tianjian Bridge, boats and vessels were traveling back and forth on the Luo River flowing under the Bridge. It was a bustling scene of the water and land transport hub of a metropolis.

This moment, someone was stepping out of the restaurant. When Xu Ziling was stepping aside to let him through, the man suddenly stuffed a ball of paper into his hand. Xu Ziling recognized the man was Xu Xingzhi; his anxiety vanished, he quickly put the crumpled piece of paper into his sleeve pocket.

Xu Xingzhi walked up the Tianjin Bridge, and disappeared into the stream of people.

Xu Ziling was about to return to tell the waiter not to bother finding him a table when a carriage halted right in front of him.

The curtain lifted, revealing Shen Luoyan’s flowery jade countenance.

This pretty military strategist, whose intelligence and planning and scheming skill was well-known throughout the world, laughed sweetly and said, “Ziling! Would you get in the carriage to chat with me for a while?”

A feeling of disgust welled up in Xu Ziling’s heart; he coldly replied, “We are treading different paths, we are not scheming against each other, what is there to talk about?”

Shen Luoyan did not pay him the slightest bit of attention; she said, “Xu Gongzi is obviously unaware. Currently rumors are flying around the Eastern Capital like crazy, they all said that the Jade Annulus of He Clan has fallen into one of you and your two friends’ hands. This moment nobody do not rub their fists and wipe their palms in eagerness, vowing to wrest the treasure out of your hands. Don’t you want to know a bit more news?”

Inwardly Xu Ziling was shivering in fear.

Jing Nian Chanyuan lost the treasure just happened the previous night. If the Monastery people did not deliberately leak the news, how could ‘the streets know and the alleys hear’? But when Shen Luoyan spoke, it has always been difficult to tell the truth from the lies; perhaps she was exaggerating on purpose.

Xu Ziling nonchalantly laughed and said, “No need to chat and laugh! Although I know one possible location where the treasure might be stored, but upon self-examination, I know I do not have the qualification to steal it. And I don’t believe someone really stole the ruler’ seal from there; you don’t have to sound me out.”

Shen Luoyan stared at him for half a day, as if she was trying to tell whether he was telling the truth or was just lying to her. Finally she sighed grimly and said, “If you are telling the truth, then you are in a really big trouble. Ci Hang Jing Zhai occupies paramount position in Jianghu; nobody dares to mess with them!”

Xu Ziling pretended to be surprised, “What are you talking about?” he asked, “You talk like the Jade Annulus of He Clan is really lost. Where did you hear it from?”

Shen Luoyan swept her gaze around, the passerby’s eyes were on them, sizing them up. Slightly angry, she said, “Just get in the cart and talk, all right? The big street and big alley, where people are coming and going, is not the place to talk about confidential matter.”

Xu Ziling smiled slightly and said, “We have nothing to talk about, they want to think that I stole it, then let them think that I stole it!”

No longer paying attention to her, he turned left toward the Tianjin Bridge.

He had only walked for a dozen paces when Shen Luoyan got off hear carriage and ran after him. Very angrily she said, “What is your head made of? Such a stubborn and obstinate man. You were at the Jing Nian Chanyuan just before the treasure was lost; if I don’t look for you, who should I look for? Although you put on a mask, but someone recognized your build.”

Xu Ziling groaned inwardly; fortunately the opposite side still had no conclusive evidence. It’s just that all he could do currently was to keep denying insistently.

Shen Luoyan was wearing light yellow tight warrior outfit, her beauty was comparable to the glorious splendor of Luoyang City under the brilliant sun, which Xu Ziling was not in the mood to enjoy.

Sighing, Xu Ziling said, “Where exactly did you hear that from?”

Shen Luoyan replied indifferently, “Do you know that Wang Bo and Liao Kong have close to fifty years of friendship? This morning he issued Wulin notice to men and horses of all sides, announcing the circumstances surrounding the theft of the Jade Annulus of He Clan. Furthermore, he said clearly that if by zi hour [11pm-1am] tonight you have not returned the treasure, he will stop at nothing to have the three of you killed. You still think this is a joke?”

Xu Ziling smiled and said, “If I really the one who stole the treasure, I would have flown far away last night; how could I stay here, waiting for others to give me bad luck? I don’t care what would happen, if they have the ability, let them come to me!”

By this time the two have reached the Tianjian Bridge. The man was like deep and clear wine, elegant like an immortal amongst the mortals; the woman beautiful and alluring, lucid and elegant, just like a fairy descended to the world. Naturally they attracted the passer-bye’s glances and envious and admiring gaze.

Who would have thought that they had the appearance of unity, but divided at heart? To talk further, there was this kind of intense murderous air in the radiance of spring between them.

Shen Luoyan roused her spirit to walk with him for a short time; lightly stomping her tiny foot, she said, “Since when did you become arrogant and wild like Kou Zhong? Do you know that after the zi hour tonight you will be Wulin world’s public enemy? Shi Feixuan and Ning Daoqi will be among those who will look for you. Top martial art masters from the most powerful schools and sects, both orthodox and heretical, will be your enemy.”

Smiling ruefully, Xu Ziling said, “What can I do? I have no choice but to resist the incoming troops, to build earth embankment when the flood comes.”

Lowering her voice, Shen Luoyan said, “If that thing is really in your hands, we can make a deal.”

Sneering, Xu Ziling said, “Even if it were in my hands, I would never make any deal with anybody related to Li Mi. Shen Junshi, do you understand?”

Shen Luoyan hung her head in silence. She quietly came closer and spoke in tender voice, “If I had nothing with Li Mi anymore, then what?”

Stunned, Xu Ziling cast her a quick glance; shaking his head in disbelief, he said, “I can only think that you must be joking.”

Shen Luoyan heaved a deep sigh; she nodded and said, “I know you won’t believe me, but this time it is really for your own good. Perhaps the biggest problem is that practically there is not a single man who can ascertain who the big treasure thief is? The only possibility is one of you three in disguise, since the body type matches yours. A real man dares to do dares to admit; why should he be afraid of admitting what he had done? Won’t he be afraid to be the laughingstock of all men under the heavens?”

Her speech was very formidable, even Xu Ziling was nearly unable to withstand. Smiling bitterly, he said, “That being the case, we have to take advantage before the zi hour to escape from Luoyang, because no matter how we plead our innocence, nobody is going to believe us.”

Shen Luoyan pulled him into a side lane; turning to the left and winding to the right, they finally arrived at a quiet place. Lowering her voice, she said, “This is precisely the deal I wanted to make with you, and it was Mi Gong [Duke Mi] himself who gave me instructions. As long as you admit that the Jade Annulus of He Clan is in your hands, not only we do not want you to hand it over to us, all old debts will be struck in one stroke. Furthermore, we will utilize all manpower and physical resources to bring you out of Luoyang. What do you think?”

Listening to this, even Xu Ziling had his heart slightly moved. Frowning, he said, “Stop lying to me. Is Junshi saying that your boss does not wish to take the Jade Annulus of He Clan for his own?”

Shen Luoyan crossly said, “Both you and Kou Zhong can be called smart, but can be also called stupid. Who didn’t know that nobody does not want to have the Jade Annulus of He Clan? But definitely nobody is stupid enough to make his move to steal that thing. Itself, although the Jade Annulus of He Clan is the most famous precious jade since times immemorial, its true worth is actually on its historic significance and what it stands for. Moreover, originally this jade was held in safekeeping of the world’s most revered Ning Daoqi, and then from him, it was handed over to the representative of the White Way Wulin, Shi Feixuan. Only madman who does not wish to live would try to steal it. Do you really get it? Only when Shi Feixuan personally hands it over to you would this Jade Annulus of He Clan be able to play its intended role.”

Xu Ziling was puzzled, “So your Mi Gong is already positive that Shi Feixuan won’t pick him as the Jade Annulus of He Clan’s true owner, and thus he would rather have the Jade Annulus of He Clan disappear forever?” he asked.

Smiling wryly, Shen Luoyan replied, “If I denied that, then I would be lying to you. But under the circumstances, I am sure you would understand if I can’t reveal anything more to you.”

After a short pause, she went on, “Never, ever, underestimate Shi Feixuan. There is a very strong possibility that she would be Ning Daoqi’s successor as the most outstanding grand master of the Wulin world of the Central Plains. Just by looking at the swift and decisive way [orig. ‘sound of thunder technique’] she handled the missing treasure this time, we know that the method she is using is in profound congruence of the swordsmanship. Very soon you will be forced to a dead end!”

Xu Ziling cut her off with a cold snort, “Therefore, if we really run away, it would be tantamount to admitting that we did steal the Jade Annulus of He Clan. Ha! Shen Junshi, your scheme this time is really brilliant, no wonder you are willing to write off our former hatred at one stroke! It’s because later on, Shi Feixuan and Ning Daoqi will look for us to give us bad luck. Am I right?”

As if she was hurt, Shen Luoyan took a step back; her pretty face turned white. With ashen countenance, she furiously said, “You really don’t know others’ kind intention. That being the case, you will take responsibility of the aftermath yourselves! I have nothing more to say, just do your best.”

Stomping her feet in anger, she turned around and left.

Xu Ziling remained standing still. A long while later, he chuckled and said, “Since friend already honored me with your presence, why don’t you show up?”

From both ends of the alley cold snorts were heard simultaneously, followed by the Changbai Twin-Malevolent Fu Zhen and Fu Yan jumped down from the top of the wall.

The former carried a long-handled ax made of pure steel, only he added a sharp-pointy awl on the ax head, making the weapon effective to chop, hack, as well as pierce, like a spear. The latter’s weapon was even weirder; it looked like a sword, but was curved, the blade and tip looked like a beak. In just a glance it was obvious that the style he used must be dangerous and odd.

Xu Ziling was very well aware that he had fallen into Shen Luoyan’s carefully laid-out trap. This time the opponent must have spared no effort and was doing everything they could to have him either killed or captured alive.

But remaining calm and without any fear he suddenly raised a mouthful of true qi, and took the initiative to charge the enemy.

Dong Shuni pulled Kou Zhong asie to evade a platoon of guards; pouting playfully she said, “How messed up are you? Yesterday, for the whole day, I did not even see your shadow. You are just like heartless rat that as soon as your tummy is full, you ran away as far as you could.”

Seeing that the more than a dozen guards in front of Shangshu Mansion’s door were staring at them with eyes wide open, Kou Zhong was embarrassed. “Can’t you talk with a bit lower voice?” he said.

Dong Shuni broke out in an extremely charming smile; with an air of innocent, she nodded and said, “As long as you are willing to accompany me, nujia will naturally listen to you!”

Today she was wearing a tight-fitting warrior outfit, white skirt with red trimming, so that the curves of her beautiful body was shown in full light: what’s supposed to be protruding was protruding, what’s supposed to be small was small, brimming with youthful and fiery seductive charm. However, Kou Zhong was not in the mood to enjoy all of these; he said in astonishment, “Didn’t you say you don’t like to see me anymore? Why this sudden change of heart?”

Pulling his sleeve, Dong Shuni walked alongside Kou Zhong along the main street of the Imperial City toward the South Gate of the Imperial City. With a child-like excitement, she said, “Because, after thinking about it back and forth, I realized that among all these people, you are the best, unlike those people who crowd around me like houseflies swarm around honey. Much less Shangshu Daren basically has no intention of letting me to marry you; he even forbids me to have any relationship with you.”

Kou Zhong cursed in his heart. Indeed Wang Shichong was up to no good.

Perhaps the theft of the Jade Annulus of He Clan was no more than a trap. It’s just that he never expected that Kou Zhong would be successful, and now he was trying to shirk from responsibility and push this matter aside and wipe his hands clean.

Putting her lips at his ear, Dong Shuni softly said, “I want you to accompany me in taking part in a dinner party. We’ll talk about plans for eloping then.”

“What did you say?” Kou Zhong blurted out.

Xiaohu, Good one. HPC, Anh, Ysabel, Jaya, spy, you are welcome. DongBin, you are right. It seems to me that every time they fought, they are advancing. Lao Qianbei, welcome back! Only 5 months? It feels a lot longer than that. Xu Xiong, I am having fun. I was just wondering why the forum suddenly quiet down. A lot. Ari, so far I have not heard anything. Kowloon, thanks.

Book 14 Chapter 5 – Songs of Chu on All Sides[1]

Xu Ziling nearly cried out in surprise.

Because the instant he raised his true qi, the yongquan acupoints on the sole of both feet left and right turned one hot one cold: the cold qi from his left yongquan acupoint burst straight toward the Du meridian on his back, via wei zhen, passed through ni wan, followed the Ren meridian and downed to his dantian. The hot qi from his right foot was flowing on the opposite direction; upstream the Ren meridian, passed through the zuqiao acupoint between the eyebrows, through niwan and down Du meridian, and entered the dantian from the weiban acupoint on his backbone.

The most amazing thing was that when the two different streams of hot qi met with each other at the niwan, immediately the two streams became a vortex: one along the other inverse, the two streams flowed swiftly in opposite direction within the meridians.

Every time the flow arrived at certain acupoint, the true qi unexpectedly coalesced and expanded just like a whirlpool, making each acupoint inside him become like a storehouse of true power.

His dantian thus became like the headquarter where his main force resided, while his thirty-six main acupoints became like the positions where his smaller squadrons were stationed.

This has never happened before.

Even during training with Kou Zhong, where the yin and the yang converged, it was merely yin hidden amidst the yang, and yang contained within the yin; unlike right now where the yongquan on his left foot was able to automatically absorb abundant innate yin qi from between the Heaven and the Earth.

The only explanation was that the fantastic power of the Jade Annulus of He Can has thoroughly transformed his meridians, and not simply, as Ba Fenghan said, ‘enhanced’ it.

If formerly the meridians were like trickling water from a brook, currently it has become surging and rolling large river.

This kind of ‘shedding one’s mortal body and exchanging one’s bones’ feeling was truly hard to describe.

The sensitivity of all his senses was raised exponentially.

Any sound within a hundred zhang radius around him could not escape his hearing. Even his skin was sensitive to the changes in the air induced by Fu Zhen, Fu Yan, two men’s movement.

An enormous momentum emanated from the two men’s bodies. Its strength was not evenly distributed; rather, it followed the movements of their thoughts as they were constantly looking for any gap or weak point on Xu Ziling’s body that they could exploit; therefore, the intensity of the momentum was also constantly changing.

He had never experienced this kind of clear understanding of what is true and what is false of the opponent; it was just like a somewhat blind person who suddenly gained his eyesight back.

In that same instant, he also sensed another enemy was hiding somewhere behind the wall to his left, waiting for him to escape before carrying out a surprise attack.

His entire mind was crystal clear; nothing could escape his perception.

In this instant, he knew that Fu Zhen’s long-handle axe would be the first to attack, and then Fu Yan’s strange-looking beak sword would follow.

These two definitely had overbearing martial art skill; when they appeared just now, their aggressive momentum immediately enveloped him, so that he was unable to get away.

If it was before his meridians were transformed, they definitely had the strength to kill him, but now he had utmost confidence that if he wanted to escape, he would have no problem. The only question remained was how to deal with the third enemy’s sneak attack.

Thinking to this point, Fu Zhen and Fu Yan had already pressed on to within ten paces of him.

Qi power stormed in, murderous aura filled the air.

The two enemies roared at the same time.

The long-handle axe rose up to the air; it turned into a flash of lightning swiftly chopping down on his neck. A powerful, without equal, qi power had already split the air toward him.

Assuming a horse stance, Fu Yan’s beak sword, following a weird attacking path, struck from an approximately a zhang away. It appeared capable of attacking any part of him, in accordance with the variety of fantastical changes unique to unconventional weapon’s characteristic.

The Two-Malevolent of Changbai dared to stand in opposition to Wang Bo; they were indeed not ordinary men.

For a moment murderous aura filled the air.

These two brothers’ eyes shot cold rays as they hatefully stared at Xu Ziling. If it were someone else with comparably weak mental strength, merely their stare would be enough to turn his heart and guts cold, his fighting spirit gone.

Xu Ziling was well-aware that based on his current skill, which had advanced by leaps and bound, he could overcome one of them, but under normal circumstances, there was no way he could resist both of them at the same time, not to mention there was another martial art master lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Any one of these two brothers from Fu family was top ranking martial art master who was able to stand on his own; otherwise, Shen Luoyan would not have trusted them to take care of him.

His brain traveling at the speed of light, Xu Ziling swiftly, beyond human understanding, flashed several times.

Fu Yan’s figure snapped immediately; his eyes shot a disbelieving expression, his momentum and confidence weakened somewhat.

Turned out with every flash, Xu Ziling was able to meet every single one of Fu Yan’s beak sword’s attacking paths.

The most shocking thing was that Xu Ziling seemed to have the foresight: he had just made the change, Xu Ziling already made a very subtle shift, so that his offense immediately lost its biggest threatening force. More astonishing yet, when Fu Yan altered his offense accordingly, Xu Ziling was one step ahead in staggering away a little. This situation happened several times in a row, so that Fu Yan was unable to do anything, the same helpless feeling when one tries to catch a loach, which keeps slipping out of his hands.

It was the very first time that Fu Yan ever experienced this kind of abnormal situation.

Before, at least half of his abilities lay in the special structure of his beak sword and the strange and crafty changes of its attack paths, something that was impossible for the opponent to defend effectively.

However, this time was different: before they even fought hand to hand, the opponent had already grasped the sword path. It has never happened before. Momentarily from being active he was forced to be passive, so that he was at a loss of how to proceed, hence his offensive slowed down.

In this battle of supremacy, the battle line was precisely this sliver of difference.

These past several decades, these two brothers from the Fu Clan had developed impeccable joint-strike technique. As soon as it was unleashed, there should be absolutely no flaw that could be exploited by the opponent.

As soon as the pressure disappeared, Xu Ziling’s momentum increased rapidly. Amidst the tranquil-without-any-ripple frame of mind, he flashed forward to meet Fu Zhen, with his finger pointing out.

The true qi within his body was like a broken dam. The spiraling stream of qi, which relied mainly on the ocean of qi to spin, circulated on the Ren and Du, two meridians one cycle first, before flowing toward the intersection of falun and kanli. By the time it reached the armpit, cold and hot separated. One followed yang yu, the other passed through yin yu, and converged at the palm of his hand, becoming vortices of cold and hot true power that flowed in parallel, each stream of qi power contained thirty-six flying-thallium[?] like vortex, shooting out from his middle finger.

In the meantime, Fu Zhen had also pulled back his qi; because of the sudden decrease in Fu Yan’s momentum, the front line was affected as well, so that they had no room to advance or to retreat.

But he was like riding a tiger where it was difficult to get off, he wanted to stop but was unable to do so, plus he wanted to take advantage of Xu Ziling’s power, which could not surpass his several decades of training. Therefore, he increased his speed instead to charge forward, with his long-handle axe swiftly chopped down. Relying on the heavy and sharp axe head, he wanted to suppress the opponent’s insignificant finger.

Were it a top-ranking martial art master of Wanwan’s caliber, by this time he would have attempted to drag the offensive back a little, to match Fu Yan’s heavy offensive move, hence although Xu Ziling could not be immediately defeated, he would have had a hard time in dealing with them. However, in term of intelligence Fu Zhen has always been known as inferior, therefore, this strategy was actually a big blunder.

When the fingertips were about to make contact with the axe blade, Xu Ziling swayed back in the direction of Fu Yan; his shenfa was as amazing as if it was made by heaven, so confident and at ease, yet also looked casual as if it was a random move.

The axe blade swept down about five cun away from the fingertips.

Immediately Fu Zhen’s soul flew away and scattered. But he was still an exceptional master; hastily altering the chopping motion into thrusting, he simply pulled back the axe and used the sharp pointy awl of his axe head to stab the opponent.

Xu Ziling laughed aloud, knowing that the force behind Fu Zhen’s blade has diminished, while the new force has not been generated yet. Touching the axe head with his fingertips, his true energy shot out like crazy.

‘Bang!’

Two streams of qi, one hot and one cold, flowed into Fu Zhen’s body along the axe under Xu Ziling’s control, separately toward the yang yu and yin yu, two meridians. Like a string of pearls vortices of qi burst in one after another, Fu Zhen immediately suffered major loss.

Another mistake he made that he had already heard about Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong’s unique skill of spiraling energy, and had already drafted a plan on how to deal with it, but he had never expected that the opponent was able to generate two separate streams of qi, cold and hot, in the form of swirling energy balls, which also able to penetrate the true qi protecting his body.

The most formidable part was that the cold and hot, two energies were entirely different, as if two separate martial art masters were attacking him at the same time.

This moment he no longer had the time to think about injuring the enemy. Gathering the power in his entire body, he struggled hard to pull himself away and withdrew.

In his heart Xu Ziling cried out, ‘How formidable!’ When his ‘no stronghold one cannot overcome’ qi power entered Fu Zhen’s body, it immediately encountered a powerful resistance and unexpectedly it was reduced in half; otherwise, just this one finger would be enough to make Fu Zhen vomited blood and sustained internal injury.

The beak sword attack arrived.
