Master Chongxu had no idea that Li Yao would discover the flaw.
Once Li Yao's sword pierces the center of his sword circle, he will surely die.
Startled, he quickly withdrew his sword and dodged.
puff!
Although Daoist Chongxu dodged Li Yao's sword, he was injured by the residual force of his own sword energy, and many sword marks appeared on his body.
"ah?!"
"What...what's going on?"
Why did Master Chongxu suddenly sheathe his sword?
"I don't understand, I really don't understand!"
"..."
Everyone was completely bewildered, unable to understand Master Chongxu's intentions.
Master Chongxu clearly had the upper hand and could have killed Li Yao, so why did he suddenly withdraw his sword and injure himself?
Everyone was puzzled.
Of those present, only a few experts had already discerned the clues.
For example, Master Fangzheng.
He chanted a Buddhist prayer and murmured, "I never expected that this young benefactor Mu would possess such profound swordsmanship. It's truly remarkable, but it's a pity..."
Master Chongxu cupped his hands towards Li Yao and said, "Young Master Mu's swordsmanship is superb, far surpassing mine. I have lost."
Anyone who can spot the flaws in his swordsmanship must possess considerable skill in swordsmanship.
Master Chongxu was quite self-aware.
Knowing full well that he was no match for Li Yao, he readily admitted defeat.
Luck +33!
True Qi +42!
...
Li Yao accepted the attributes contributed by Daoist Chongxu, smiled slightly, and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your kind offer."
At this moment, only the Shaolin Temple remained to fight.
Everyone looked to Master Fangzheng, placing their hopes on the Shaolin Temple.
Master Fang Zheng began by saying:
"Master Mu's swordsmanship is superb, truly rare. This old monk admires it."
"But Guihai Yidao has already stepped into the demonic path. If we let him go back to the mountains, I'm afraid he will wreak havoc on the martial world and kill innocent people indiscriminately."
“Since Benefactor Mu is a good friend of Guihai Yidao, he should not want to see Guihai Yidao commit further killings.”
"I have a suggestion: let Guihai Yidao stay at Shaolin Temple. I will use Buddhist teachings to influence Guihai Yidao every day, eliminate his demonic nature, make him repent, and return to the right path."
Master Fang's suggestion is quite good.
However, Li Yao disagreed.
What a joke! He's here to fleece people, not to do charity.
He said, "Master Fangzheng's suggestion is indeed very good. However, I can also expel Guihai Yidao's demonic nature, so there is no need to trouble Master Fangzheng."
After saying that, he walked straight towards Guihai Yidao, intending to take Guihai Yidao away.
He was certain that Master Fang Zheng would try to stop him.
As expected, Master Fangzheng spoke up: "Since Benefactor Mu insists on taking Guihai Yidao away, then you must first get past this old monk."
"Very good, I've been wanting to experience Master Fangzheng's skills firsthand!"
A sly glint and excitement flashed in Li Yao's eyes.
As luck would have it, Master Fang Zheng saw it.
He immediately felt like he had been tricked.
Could I have fallen into Li Yao's trap?
Never mind, no matter what, we can't let Li Yao take Guihai Yidao away.
So he went to the center of the square, put his hands together, and said to Li Yao, "Benefactor Mu, I apologize."
Li Yao said, "Master has no weapon. If I were to use a weapon, it would be an unfair victory."
With a clang, he threw the sword in his hand away.
Everyone was puzzled, even Master Fangzheng was taken aback.
As is widely known, Master Fang Zheng's mastery of the Yi Jin Jing internal energy cultivation has reached a state of perfection, with extremely profound internal energy, placing him among the top masters in the world today.
Li Yao, who had no internal strength, actually wanted to fight Master Fang Zheng with his bare hands, which was tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.
Immediately, most of them perked up.
They believed that Master Fang Zheng's martial arts skills would not disappoint them.
However, some people began to have doubts.
After all, they believed time and again that Li Yao would become an apprentice of some master.
However, they were disappointed time and time again, while Li Yao triumphed time and time again.
Too many disappointments have created a habitual mindset among them.
Will Li Yao be able to defeat Master Fang Zheng this time?
Regardless of the circumstances, the next battle is bound to be earth-shattering and incredibly exciting.
So everyone perked up and stared intently at the two people in the arena.
Master Fangzheng lightly struck out with his palm.
This palm strike seemed ordinary, but halfway through, it suddenly swayed slightly.
Instantly, one palm became two palms, two palms became four palms, and four palms became eight palms.
"Thousand-Handed Tathagata Palm!"
Li Yao blurted out, unable to contain his excitement.
The Thousand Hands Tathagata Palm evolved from Tai Chi Chuan. In the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Shaolin Temple did not yet have this palm technique.
This palm technique was developed by the Shaolin Prajna Hall, which collected and modified the Tai Chi Chuan of the Wudang School, making it extremely powerful.
In an instant, Master Fangzheng's eight palms became sixteen, and then transformed into thirty-two palms.
Li Yao dared not be careless.
Immediately, his expression changed drastically, and he transformed into an ancient wild beast, stepping on the bluestone slabs and charging fiercely towards Master Fangzheng.
With each step taken, the entire square trembled.
The wild and untamed atmosphere surges endlessly!
It gives people an endless sense of oppression.
Everyone present was horrified, feeling as if they could hardly breathe.
They never expected that Li Yao's physique would be so strong.
Li Yao's muscles bulged, and his palms suddenly unleashed a fierce and domineering force, pushing out the palm strike as if cutting through thorns and brambles.
boom!
A loud bang.
A violent burst of energy erupted forth.
All thirty-two palm shadows conjured by Master Fangzheng vanished without a trace.
Chapter 185 Defeating Fang Zheng, Another Master Arrives
"Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill?!"
Master Fangzheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Although he had never witnessed the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, it was mentioned in a Shaolin Temple scripture.
Based on the descriptions in the scriptures, he concluded that the skill Li Yao used was the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.
He knew that this skill was easy to learn, but extremely difficult to master.
Because of this skill, each advancement in the cultivation process takes twice as long as the previous one.
Even if one spends thirty or forty years cultivating this skill to the fourth or fifth level, one can only be considered a second-rate master.
The Li Yao before them clearly possessed a level of cultivation in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill that was far beyond the fourth or fifth level.
However, judging from Li Yao's age, he was only in his early twenties, yet he had cultivated this skill to such a high level.
This martial arts talent is simply astonishing.
Even in a century, it would be rare to encounter such a martial arts prodigy.
It seems he underestimated Li Yao's strength.
Therefore, he dared not be careless again.
He activated the internal energy of the Yi Jin Jing, alternating between pushing his palms with his left and right hands.
In an instant, countless palm shadows materialized and pressed down on Li Yaowei from all directions.
The Thousand-Handed Tathagata Palm technique is unpredictable. Each palm strike changes direction several times before it reaches the middle of its trajectory, making it dazzling and difficult to deal with.
However, Li Yao didn't care whether the palm shadows were real or fake.
He still used the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm to directly confront the Thousand Hands Tathagata Palm.
