A side-by-side comparison reveals that he is no match for Chi Bi Lie. Qi Xia Zi is clearly trying to provoke him, so how could he possibly fall for it?
Extinction's blunt statement left Qixiazi somewhat embarrassed. If she could win, she would naturally take the lead.
Seeing that the two were silent, Yue Tianling, the head of the Huashan Sect, slowly said, "Master Jueyuan, why don't you hold one of them off?"
He didn't tell Jueyuan to kill the opponent, but rather to hold them off until they had dealt with their own opponent before coming to their aid.
Jueyuan was also honest and replied directly, "Amitabha, this old monk is no match for them, I'm afraid we need to discuss this further."
Apart from the fact that the Beggars' Sect leader was significantly stronger than the other sect leaders and could take on either Chi Bi Lie or the Night Demon, the others were all slightly inferior, so no one was willing to be the first to step forward.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Bai Langfei, the master of Peach Blossom Island, suddenly glanced at Li Boyang and said in a sinister voice:
"Someone's Nine Yin Manual is unparalleled in the martial arts world. I think we can give it a try."
As soon as Bai Langfei said this, everyone immediately looked at Li Boyang. After the battle on Peach Blossom Island, everyone knew that the Nine Yin Manual was in Li Boyang's hands; this was no secret.
Although it was unclear why Qiu Chuji did not cause trouble for Li Boyang, this did not prevent his reputation from growing stronger in the martial arts world.
“That makes sense. Young friend Boyang was able to defeat Island Master Bai, which shows that his martial arts are unfathomable. He should be able to take me down.”
"Indeed, the Nine Yin Manual is renowned throughout the martial world. Since young friend Boyang cultivates the Nine Yin Manual, his strength must be extraordinary."
The others immediately chimed in, praising Li Boyang to the skies. After all, saying nice things costs nothing, so why not say something nice?
Seeing their enthusiasm, Li Boyang said calmly:
"Leave Chibilie to me."
Originally, after reaching the Qi Refining stage, he wanted to spar with Chi Bilie in this duel. Since everyone said so, he might as well go with the flow and accept the offer.
Three years ago, he was chased and fled in a sorry state by Chi Bi Lie. This time, he not only mastered the Nine Yin Manual to a high level, but also broke through to the minor realm of refining Qi into threads. It was the perfect opportunity to get revenge.
"master."
Zhang Junbao seemed a little anxious. Others might not know, but he was well aware that Li Boyang and Chi Bilie had fought three years ago, and the result was not good.
Although his teacher did show some experience in his move, he didn't think his master's strength could have improved so much in just three years that he could rival Chi Bi Lie.
This is unlike the last encounter, where even if you couldn't win, you could simply escape. In this kind of battle, if you're no match for someone and choose to flee, the enemy can then attack others from both sides, causing a chain reaction of defeat.
Li Boyang smiled faintly and said to Zhang Junbao, "Don't worry, your teacher knows what to do."
The progress of the innate masters in the Wudang world is much slower than his. He had vaguely sensed this when he fought Bai Langfei just now. Three years have passed. Although Bai Langfei is a little stronger than when he fought him on Peach Blossom Island, it is still limited.
It was far less than his own rapid progress. Although he didn't understand the reason, it didn't stop him from speculating on the changes in Chi Bi Lie's strength over the past three years.
At this moment, Qiu Chuji spoke:
"Very well then. Let's leave Chi Bi Lie to our young friend Bo Yang, and let's have Chief Bai take over the Night Demon. Let's continue talking about the others."
If anyone present could discern Li Boyang's current level of strength, it would undoubtedly be Qiu Chuji. He couldn't say whether Li Boyang would win or lose against Chi Bilie, but he was certain he could hold him off.
Having dealt with the two most troublesome opponents besides Shi Lejizu, choosing the next opponent became much easier.
The three remaining Qi Refining Realm experts of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty came from the Tibetan Tantric sect. They were all protectors of the Tantric sect and practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.
This martial art should be familiar to everyone. It is said to be divided into thirteen levels. Its external palm strikes are powerful and fierce, possessing the immense strength of ten dragons and ten elephants. Each move weighs a thousand catties and is extremely powerful.
The most famous example is the Golden Wheel Monk of the late Song Dynasty, who cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to the tenth level and defeated countless masters from the Central Plains.
Actually, this martial art is not a divine skill, but just a guardian martial art of Tantric Buddhism. Shi Le Jizu came from Tantric Buddhism and was a master who truly suppressed the essence of Tantric Buddhism.
He wasn't practicing a protective divine skill like the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, but rather the true esoteric Buddhist scripture, the Diamond Sutra.
According to the analysis of the white jade mirror, the strength of the three guardians of the Tantric sect is about the same as that of Abbess Wuyun of Emei, Abbess Qixiazi of Kongtong, and Abbess Yue Tianling of Huashan, so they were assigned to take on the task respectively.
The leaders of these three sects all possessed the strength to refine Qi into silk threads, the same as the three Tantric protectors.
Of the remaining Mongol experts, three were easy to deal with—the other three Qiu Chuji had summoned could be taken care of directly—but the last one was more of a headache.
This person wasn't particularly skilled in martial arts, but she had some connection with Qiu Chuji, Zhang Junbao, and even Li Boyang, because her name was Xueying.
Xueying is now the only Qi Refining Realm expert left in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, while Zhang Junbao is the only one left in the Central Plains martial arts world.
Although it's unclear whether this was intentional, the others' thoughts were quite obvious: they wanted Zhang Junbao to handle it himself.
Zhang Junbao's feelings were also very complicated at this moment. He seemed to have never expected that he would end up facing Xueying. The two of them had already made it clear that they were a couple, so it was really too difficult for him to fight Xueying.
The reason this situation occurred was precisely because others knew about Zhang Junbao's relationship with Xueying. If they didn't let him take action himself, were they supposed to do it themselves? Who would want to offend a Qi Refining Realm expert for no reason?
"Junbao, you just need to hold off Xueying; there's no need to risk your life."
Li Boyang knew about Xueying's relationship with Zhang Junbao and understood that he was in a dilemma.
"Master... it's me."
Zhang Junbao glanced at Li Boyang with some gratitude. His teacher was coming to his rescue, knowing that he couldn't harm Xueying.
The opponents in the Mongol martial arts world have all been assigned. Qiu Chuji flicked his sleeve, extinguished the campfire, and slowly said:
"At midnight tomorrow, everyone will meet outside the Imperial Gate of Dadu."
Inside the temple, everyone used their light-footed skills to leave.
The night became deathly silent.
