His eyebrows were long and white, and his nose was like an eagle's beak.
Li Yao thought to himself, could this person be Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle King?
After the bald old man defeated several people, a group of people rushed up to him.
The bald old man angrily said, "Master Kongzhi, you are supposed to be one of the four great monks of Shaolin, yet you disregard the code of the martial world and join forces with the six major sects to attack the Ming Cult, bullying the weak with the many. Aren't you afraid that this matter will spread throughout the martial world and you will be ridiculed by the heroes of the martial world?"
Master Kongzhi, dressed in a monk's robe, put his hands together and said, "Benefactor Yin, your demonic sect is going against the tide. We, as members of the righteous path, have no shame in eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path."
Yin Tianzheng said, "Whether the Ming Cult is a demonic cult or not is not something that you so-called righteous sects can arbitrarily judge. Since we are all people of the martial world, let's act according to the rules of the martial world."
Kongzhi asked, "What rules?"
Yin Tianzheng said, "We will fight one by one. If we fight until we have no one left to fight, we will be at your disposal. If you cannot defeat us, you may leave the mountain immediately."
Kongzhi glanced at the Ming Cult members and found that most of them were injured.
He thought to himself that among the Ming Cult members now, the only one who could probably fight him was the White-Browed Eagle King. No matter how powerful the White-Browed Eagle King was, he couldn't possibly withstand the repeated challenges from the six major sects.
So Kongzhi nodded and said, "Alright, let's do as Benefactor Yin says, and we'll fight one against one."
Yin Tianzheng said loudly, "It's a deal!"
In fact, Yin Tianzheng also knew that even if they fought one-on-one, the Ming Cult would still lose in the end.
This method was indeed a last resort.
He just wanted to stall for as long as possible.
Immediately, the six major factions split into six groups, gathering on the east side of the square, while the Ming Cult and the Sky Eagle Cult gathered on the west side of the square.
Yin Tianzheng first arranged for the various hall masters of the Sky Eagle Sect to fight against the people of the six major sects one by one.
Without exception, they all ended in defeat.
Then, Yang Xiao of the Ming Cult arranged for the Five Elements Flag masters of the Ming Cult to fight against the people of the six major sects one by one.
As a result, they also suffered a defeat.
In the end, on the Ming Cult's side, only Yin Tianzheng was a capable fighter.
Yin Tianzheng had no choice but to step onto the stage and accept the challenge from the six major factions.
The first of the six major sects to step up and fight Yin Tianzheng was Zhang Songxi of the Wudang sect.
After exchanging blows for more than ten rounds, the two began to compete in internal energy.
To Li Yao's delight, white orbs of light began to fall from the two of them from time to time; these were orbs of true qi.
He immediately scanned the orbs of light with his eyes.
"Ding! Successfully acquired the 'True Qi' attribute, True Qi +7!"
...
"Ding! Congratulations, host! Your true qi has exceeded 200 points, and your realm has been upgraded to: Qi Refining Realm, Level 2!"
"Ha! I didn't expect my cultivation level to have increased again!"
Li Yao was delighted, but his gaze remained fixed on Yin Tianzheng and Zhang Songxi on the field.
He recalled the first time he obtained this attribute-collecting system, the first time he picked up an attribute orb, he was also watching others fight.
At this moment, he was no longer as excited as he had been when he first picked up the attribute orb.
The main reason for this change is that he has become increasingly powerful, and his mindset has become more peaceful and calm.
At this moment, in addition to collecting attributes, he also watched the duel between the two in the arena as a bystander.
Yin Tianzheng was imposing and dignified, his eyes gleaming, and his inner strength surged forth like a tidal wave.
Zhang Songxi, however, only defended and did not attack.
Li Yao guessed that Zhang Songxi must be trying to rely on his youth to wear down the old Yin Tianzheng, and that in time he would have a chance to win.
However, Li Yao discovered that although Yin Tianzheng was old, he was full of energy and in no way inferior to Zhang Songxi.
Yin Tianzheng's internal energy surged like a raging storm, wave after wave, relentlessly rushing towards Zhang Songxi from his palms.
Li Yao nodded in approval inwardly, thinking that Yin Tianzheng truly deserved to be one of the four great protectors of the Ming Cult.
Still vigorous despite old age!
At this moment, Yin Tianzheng and Zhang Songxi shouted in unison, and their four palms suddenly exerted force. Zhang Songxi retreated seven steps, and Yin Tianzheng retreated six steps.
So, Zhang Songxi gracefully admitted defeat.
Li Yao was picking up attribute orbs in the arena when he suddenly saw a man from the Wudang Sect rush into the arena.
The man pointed at Yin Tianzheng and said angrily, "Old man Yin, if it weren't for your Eagle Sect, would my Third Brother Yu be paralyzed in bed, and would my Fifth Brother Zhang have committed suicide with his sword? Today, I, Mo Shenggu, will avenge my Third Brother Yu and Fifth Brother Zhang."
As soon as he finished speaking, a clang was heard as Mo Shenggu drew his longsword.
Li Yao smiled; it turned out he was Mo Shenggu.
This Mo Shenggu is young and impetuous, and has a rather volatile temper!
Yin Tianzheng asked the followers for an iron rod and began fighting with Mo Shenggu.
Despite his advanced age, Yin Tianzheng remained vigorous. He had just competed with Zhang Songxi in internal strength, and now he wielded the iron rod with the same ferocity.
Yin Tianzheng's moves appeared somewhat clumsy, striking haphazardly and seemingly without any discernible pattern.
However, Li Yao could see that although Yin Tianzheng's moves were clumsy, they were actually skillful in their simplicity, and had reached an extremely high level of martial arts.
Now, he possesses the divine power of the first and second levels of the "Great Dao True Scripture".
In addition, he also studied the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth".
Therefore, his understanding of martial arts has reached an extremely high level, and he can see the strengths and weaknesses of Mo Shenggu and Yin Tianzheng's moves at a glance.
Soon, Mo Shenggu and Yin Tianzheng decided their match. Yin Tianzheng defeated Mo Shenggu, but was wounded by Mo Shenggu's sword.
Afterwards, Yin Tianzheng quickly bandaged his wound and continued to accept the challenge.
In the end, Yin Tianzheng fought until he was exhausted and was ambushed by Zong Weixia, one of the Five Elders of Kongtong, with a flying stone.
At this moment, the last capable fighter of the Ming Cult, the White-browed Eagle King, also fell.
Li Yao then thought to himself: It's my turn to make a move!
Then he raised his voice and said, "Aren't you ashamed that so many of you are bullying an old man?"
Chapter 85 A Small Test of Skill: A Seven Injury Fist
With the White-browed Eagle King fallen, the Ming Cult members were either injured or unconscious, like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Master Kongzhi of the Shaolin School was about to give the order to wipe out all these members of the evil cult.
Zong Weixia, one of the Five Elders of Kongtong, was even more eager to kill the half-conscious and half-asleep White-browed Eagle King.
Suddenly, someone raised their voice and said, "Aren't you ashamed to bully an old woman with so many of you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to a young man.
That young man was none other than Li Yao!
Li Yao calmly approached Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle King, turned his hand into a palm, and gently pushed it against Yin Tianzheng's chest, transferring strands of vibrant Dao Qi into Yin Tianzheng's body.
Soon, Yin Tianzheng regained consciousness and opened his eyes to find himself facing a strange young man.
He was secretly amazed. When Li Yao used his internal energy to heal him, he could clearly feel that Li Yao's internal strength was extremely profound.
Such profound inner strength, combined with such youth, is truly rare in the world today!
Yin Tianzheng said with a grateful expression, "Thank you for saving me, young friend."
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Watch out!"
It turned out that while Li Yao was treating Yin Tianzheng's injuries, Zong Weixia had already struck Li Yao on the back with a palm.
As soon as Zong Weixia's palm touched Li Yao's back, Li Yao's back suddenly collapsed, and then suddenly straightened up.
An immense force immediately sent Zong Weixia flying.
Bang!
Zong Weixia's body flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground.
Yin Tianzheng's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected the young man in front of him to be so capable.
Everyone else was puzzled, not understanding why Zong Weixia had suddenly been thrown out.
Zong Weixia coughed up a mouthful of blood with a "poof".
He then got up from the ground, both shocked and furious, and shouted at Yin Tianzheng, "You old scoundrel Yin, you actually attacked people in secret! How despicable!"
He thought that Li Yao was too young to have such amazing skills, and that Yin Tian must be the one secretly sabotaging him.
Li Yao stood up and sneered, "You are truly shameless. You were the one who plotted against me first, yet now you accuse others of secretly harming me. It's utterly ridiculous."
Zong Weixia blushed immediately.
However, he was thick-skinned and shouted, "Boy, what are you? You dare to come here looking for death? I'll let you taste the power of my Kongtong Sect's Seven Injury Fist."
Before he could finish speaking, a powerful punch landed heavily on Li Yao's chest.
Zong Weixia was shocked, feeling as if his fist had struck an iron plate.
Li Yao smiled slightly and said, "What are you doing? Are you tickling me?"
Zong Weixia's eyes turned cold, and with a series of loud bangs, he unleashed four punches in quick succession, each one delivered with all his might.
However, he discovered that the other party was not only unharmed, but also accepted it with a smile.
He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You...you've already mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill? You're from the Shaolin School?"
Not only Zong Weixia, but everyone else present was also taken aback.
Zong Weixia was one of the five elders of the Kongtong Sect. His Seven Injury Fist technique was famous throughout the world, and many martial arts practitioners had fallen victim to Zong Weixia's Seven Injury Fist.
Who exactly is this young man? How could he withstand five blows of Zong Weixia's Seven Injury Fist without sustaining any damage?
That's incredible!
