Chapter 301
Seeing that the righteous heroes were outnumbered, the leader in black immediately shouted, 鈥淓veryone, retreat!鈥�
The tall and thin man who had previously injured Hongye shouted, 鈥淩etreat? What retreat? Are you afraid of a bunch of drunken cats? These people are all Ye Nian’s accomplices, and it’s just the perfect opportunity to catch them all at once and relieve the Emperor of his worries!鈥�
He said this and turned around, pulled off his mask, and laughed menacingly, 鈥淚’ve had enough of hiding my head and showing my tail.鈥�
The moonlight was bright at the moment, and Ye Guhong glanced at the man. He was in his forties, with a handsome face, and it was the Living Buddha Sangpo that Ye had met at the Vajra Sect’s lair!
In the initial battle, Ye Guhong, Yu Lianzhou, and Shi Feilong had teamed up and used all their best moves, but they had not been able to defeat this man. In the end, they had relied on the morning mist rising from the lake to reveal traces of sword energy, which had forced him to retreat.
Later, Yu Er also recognized this person and exclaimed, 鈥淓veryone be careful, this person is skilled in the invisible sword energy of the six meridians!鈥�
Sang Bo angrily said, 鈥淏ullshit, this is the Six Reincarnations of the Path of our sect’s Divine Finger!鈥�
After saying this, he kept pointing at Ye Guhong, and his finger power surged out with a loud piercing cry. Ye Guhong quickly dodged.
Shi Feilong saw this and remembered the example of the group besieging this person in the past. He lunged out diagonally, and Sang Bo sneered, 鈥淪tupid, today I am incomparable to the past!鈥�
With a snap of his left thumb, another burst of finger power shot out.
Ye Guhong was shocked. In that battle a few years ago, this person was still unable to simultaneously point with his fingers, and his power was already extremely great. After a few years, he was able to use several fingers at the same time. Wouldn’t that make him even more difficult to deal with?
He didn’t know that Sang Bo had only reached the tenth level of the Dragon-Elephant Technique. Although his internal strength was formidable, it was not yet sufficient to support simultaneous finger attacks. That was why he had gone to find the Treasure of the Stars, hoping to use poisonous substances to increase his internal strength. He didn’t want to run into Ye Guhong and the others, not only did he lose his personal belongings, but he also sustained internal injuries from a palm strike with Shi Feilong.
However, fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and things are unpredictable. While Sangpo was fleeing back to his lair to heal his injuries with internal energy cultivation, he suddenly had a revelation. He immediately shut himself away for several years of rigorous training, and he was able to push Longxiangong to the 11th level in one fell swoop!
You must understand that this secret tantric martial art is no small feat. The Mongolian Dharma King only reached the 10th level of the 13 levels of martial arts, and he was already nearly invincible. It took the three of them, Zhou Wantong, Dong Xie, and Nan Di, to capture him.
Later, when Basi Ba reached the eleventh level, he became even more unrivaled, and his skill was beyond imagination.
Sangpo had also entered the eleventh level as a result of this misfortune, and his power was more than doubled compared to the tenth level. Using the six-sword sword energy, he was already as natural as using his own arm, reaching the supreme realm of six swords firing simultaneously.
Shi Feilong never expected such a startling improvement from his opponent. As he hurried to dodge, Sang Bo shot out his pinkie and ring finger at the same time. Surrounded by the three streams of finger power, Shi Feilong had nowhere to go. He knew he was going to die, and was about to make a last-ditch effort to send out his final palm strike when he suddenly heard a black-clad man cry out, 鈥淢aster, look out!鈥�
The man threw himself with all his strength, swung his long sword, and with a clang, blocked Sang Bo’s thumb’s finger power. The other two finger powers, however, shot two holes in his chest with two booms.
Sang Bo angrily shouted, 鈥淐heng Kun, there is a traitor in your royal court!鈥�
The leader in black heard Sang Bo reveal his identity and snarled in anger. He pulled off his mask, revealing an old face with deep furrows, and shouted, 鈥淭hings have come to this. Let’s fight!鈥�
The remaining people one after another pulled off their masks. Ye Guhong scanned the crowd and saw that most of them were acquaintances鈥�
Ugly Monk, Dark and Cold Twin Slayers, Wu Wang Shen Pu, the eldest disciple of Deer Sound, Third Master, Zhu Shou, and Wu Yan, all of them were there. There were six others, but he did not know them.
At this time, Shi Feilong had already embraced the black-clad man who had blocked the finger power for him. He pulled down the veil and cried out in grief, 鈥淓lder Dongfang, you, what are you…鈥�
That person was the eldest master of the royal family, 鈥淓ight-Armed Divine Sword鈥� Dongfang Bai.
Dongfang Bai’s old face was full of sorrow, but now he was smiling brightly, and he said, 鈥淐hief, I was tricked by Li Damu and had no choice but to become a dog of the Tartars. For all these years, I have regretted it every day and hated it every day…鈥�
Before he finished speaking, blood gushed from his mouth and nose, and his eyes rolled back in his head, and he died on the spot.
As for how Li Damu actually tricked him, he never said from beginning to end.
Shi Feilong’s eyes were filled with tears as he gently laid him down and said, 鈥淥ld brother, your heroic spirit is not far away. Watch as I avenge you!鈥�
He then performed the 鈥淒ragon in the Field鈥� technique, using his palm to guide his body as he fiercely slapped Sang Bo.
Back then, when he and Sang Bo clashed palms, both were seriously injured, with one suffering more serious injuries than the other. The outcome was clear, but in the past few years, Shi Feilong has been diligently cultivating the Toad Pill Cauldron Technique, and his internal strength is now like two different people. Therefore, he is full of confidence in his heart.
Sang Bo’s confidence was even greater. He did not dodge at all. With a low cry of 鈥渕oo鈥�, his palms suddenly grew larger and he fiercely pounded out a strike.
However, he used the internal strength of the Dragon-Elephant Technique, and activated the Six-Syllable Mantra of subduing external demons, a magical method created by Pal Sipa, to destroy the Tantric Mahamudra Palm Technique!
When Pal Sipa was alive, with the help of the 11th level of Dragon Elephant Power and the Six-Character Divine Fist, he rampaged his whole life without meeting any resistance. His power was truly formidable, and Mahamudra was also a formidable palm technique with an outstanding reputation. Sangpo has now also reached the 11th level of Dragon Elephant Power, and this palm strike is truly like the rebirth of Pal Sipa!
When their palms met, Shi Feilong felt a tremendous force surge towards him, and he let out a cry of 鈥淎h鈥� as he was sent flying backwards.
Sang Bo shouted, 鈥淗ow dare you compete with the bright moon for light!鈥�
His palms came together, and his index and middle fingers pointed together, sending two streams of finger power after the soul and life-stealing force.
Ye Guhong exclaimed, 鈥淏ig brother!鈥�
He was about to leap out to save him, but then he saw Old Man Zhou swoosh out, using both hands to make a Yin Finger technique, which with two hisses, resisted Sang Bo’s finger strength.
The leader of the Beggar Gang’s spear technique also leapt up to catch Shi Feilong.
Old man Zhou was flushed with drink, and he yelled, 鈥淵ou have some amazing finger techniques! Let’s see who is better!鈥�
Cheng Kun, however, suddenly jumped out and shouted, 鈥淏rother Zhou, I’ll take on the challenge!鈥�
During the battle at Zhongyan, Old man Zhou shouted out some pointers, which caused Ye Guhong to cut off half of Cheng Kun’s fingers with one sword. Cheng Kun was narrow-minded and held a grudge, and from then on, he hated Old man Zhou to the bone.
Old man Zhou shouted, 鈥淗ow dare you fight back against me after I taught you the finger technique?鈥�
Then he poked with a Yin Finger.
Cheng Kun sneered, 鈥淭he green is produced from the blue but surpasses the blue. Don’t you understand?鈥�
He then used a Yin Finger to fight back. The two fought back and forth for a few moves, and then Cheng Kun suddenly used a Yang Finger with his broken finger. The power of the Yin and Yang combined increased suddenly.
Old man Zhou had fought together with Zhu Shou against Hei Bi Weng, and knew the power of using both yin and yang together. He had longed to learn the One Yang Finger technique, but now Cheng Kun had learned it first and used it, so he could only let out a strange cry of anger. However, he could not resist the opponent’s attacks, so he had to switch to the family’s unique technique of using both hands to fight each other: one hand was the Ming Kong Fist, and the other was the Da Fu Mo Fist.
Although these two styles of boxing also have the wonderful effect of combining masculinity and femininity, they are not comparable to the two styles of finger techniques that echo each other without interruption. He was beaten back continuously, and kept screaming in his heart: Could it be that my mother has never forgotten her ex-husband? Otherwise, how could these two styles of kung fu be so in tune? Oops, when I marry in the future, I can’t marry someone who has already been married…
Zhang Cui Shan took out the tiger-head hook and the judge’s pen from under his robe and shouted, 鈥淐heng Kun, I will avenge my brother-in-law’s death!鈥�
Ye Qingqing followed closely behind him, also brandishing his sword.
Cheng Kun had heard about Zhang Wu and his wife’s brotherhood with Xie Qian, and said menacingly, 鈥淚f you miss your brother-in-law so much, I’ll send you to join him!鈥� He then unfurled his finger techniques and caught the couple.
The rest of the crowd also rushed out, and Yu Daiyan saw Mr. San in the crowd at a glance. It was a case of enemies meeting and being extra enraged, and he yelled out and charged out.
Mr. San had been tricked by Zhang Songxi during the Battle of Zhongyan, and after a brutal fight, he was seriously injured by Song Yuanqiao’s use of softness to overcome hardness. At this moment, he was determined to take revenge and seek justice, and when he suddenly saw Yu San charging at him, he sneered, 鈥淒o you want your bones broken again?鈥�
He used the Vajra Palm and fought with Yu Daiyan’s Thunderclap Iron Palm, which was extremely fierce.
The other five heroes all wanted to help, but Lu Minggong and He Beiweng shouted in unison and joined forces to stop them.
Lu Ming was ambushed by Wang Nangu during the Battle of the Han River and lost a leg before he could save his life. Later, when he returned to the Ruyang Kingdom, the Ruyang King had a master craftsman use an exotic Western-style iron to make him a prosthetic leg. The leg was hard and light, and it contained hidden mechanical springs and weapons. Although it was not as convenient as before, his martial arts style was not known for its agility, so his combat effectiveness did not decrease but increased.
At this moment, the two disciples joined forces and unleashed a barrage of Xuanying Palm attacks. Although the Five Heroes were highly skilled in martial arts, they were unable to prevail for the time being.
In addition, Bai Huan, the leader of the Huashan School, was blocked by the ugly monk. The ugly monk’s martial arts were full of tricks and were the nemesis of Bai Huan’s upright swordplay. Within twenty moves, he showed signs of defeat. Seeing this, the tall and short elders of Huashan drew their swords and attacked together. Their counter-two-spirit swordplay was also a unique skill. The three of them combined their efforts and fought fiercely against the ugly monk.
Zhu Shou and Wu Yan joined forces to hold off the Kongdong Five Elders. These two men had worshipped Cheng Kun as their master and exchanged the One Yang Finger for the One Yin Finger, which greatly improved their martial arts. Both used the Yin and Yang Fingers to fight the Kongdong Five Elders, and were slightly in the lead.
The two men originally had a sworn brother, 鈥淚ron Leg Wind Chaser鈥� Yao Chuan, who was chasing after Jin Mingjun and was beaten into pieces by Ye Guhong’s palm.
Wu Wang Shen Pu had been a disciple for many years and had also reached the sixth or seventh level of the Deer Sounding Gong. His mysterious Dark Palm technique was extremely vicious, and he fought with the Qingcheng Sect leader Yu Tan, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
The remaining six people Ye Guhong had never seen before were a Tibetan lama, two Central Plains monks, and three Western masters with deep eyes and high noses, but they kept attacking relentlessly.
Of these six, the lama was a burly man who used high-level martial arts from the Tibetan school. The two monks were in their fifties and used authentic Shaolin martial arts. The three men from the Western Regions each used two two-foot-long black boards, with strange footwork and bizarre moves, and they coordinated perfectly.
The martial arts of the heads of the Qinghai, Yandang, Diancang, Hengshan and other schools were only comparable to those of the five Kongtong elders. How could they possibly defend against these six masters? Fortunately, the schools had many disciples, and they all came forward to help. Some set up formations to meet the enemy, and everyone joined forces and fought desperately, barely managing to hold their own.
Ye Guhong knew that the most formidable opponent was probably the Living Buddha Sangpo. His Six-Meridian Sword Qi was invisible but deadly, and if it hit the crowd, there would be heavy casualties. Therefore, he desperately tried to hold him back, urgently shouting, 鈥淗urry and ask my master and Zhang Zhenren to come and exorcise the demons!鈥�
It turned out that Zhang Sanfeng was too senior, and he was afraid that everyone would not be able to feel at ease while he was there, so when he left to eliminate the disaster, he and Master Xiaofeng of Hengshan also left with him.
Then I heard Tang Gong respond, 鈥淚 have written a note and asked Baibai to take it to the mountain!鈥�
Ye Guhong’s heart eased slightly. He thought, 鈥淢y master has only been gone for half a day, and Baibai has strong legs. If we can just keep the opponent occupied here, we will definitely be able to get back in time for reinforcements.鈥�
Tang Gong was talking while advancing to help, and his martial arts were extraordinary, but Sang Bo casually shot two fingers of power, breaking his long sword with the first finger and piercing Tang Gong’s shoulder with the second. Ye Guhong exclaimed in alarm, 鈥淣one of you come, let me fight this beast alone!鈥�
Despite his words, Sang Bo’s finger strength was extraordinary, and his invisible sword energy swayed and swept in all directions. Ye Guhong used the Four Symbols Step and the White Rainbow Palm Power to counter, but his invisible palm power was not as refined as the opponent’s finger strength. He had to rely on the characteristic of being flexible and unpredictable to barely keep up, and it was inevitable that danger surrounded him.
Just as he was gritting his teeth and holding on, he suddenly heard Hongye say, 鈥淵e Shu, I’m here to help you fight!鈥�
Hongye had just finished bandaging his wound in the chaos, and now saw Ye Guhong struggling to hold his own. He decisively stepped forward to help.
He was incredibly fast, and even Sang Bo, with all his extraordinary skills, did not dare underestimate him. One after the other, his finger powers shot out like they were free, and Ye Guhong suddenly felt the pressure ease.
At that moment, he heard a woman shout, 鈥淥n my wedding day, how dare you make trouble! You truly deserve to die! Ye Lang, come for your wife.鈥�
It was Long Kongkong and the others, all of them had changed from their ceremonial clothes into battle attire, leading the Wuxian Sect’s men and horses to attack.
