They didn't expect Li Yao to also know the Shaolin Vajra Palm technique.
The person most shocked at the scene was probably Zhao Min.
She had long known that during the siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects, Li Yao had used various martial arts techniques from different schools, including the Seven Injury Fist of the Kongtong School, the Eagle and Snake Life and Death Fight of the Huashan School, the Reverse Yin-Yang Saber Technique of the Huashan School, the Dragon Claw Hand of the Shaolin Temple, the Qiankun Great Shift of the Ming Cult, and the Ladder Cloud Leap of Wudang.
Later, when the Beggars' Sect and other rabble took advantage of the chaos to loot, Li Yao used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.
Unexpectedly, Li Yao has now used the Beggars' Sect's Dog-Beating Stick Technique and the Shaolin's Mighty Vajra Palm.
Who exactly is this Li Yao, and how does he know so many martial arts skills?
At this moment, Li Yao swung his staff and knocked the sword out of A Da's hand.
Immediately, he struck Ah Da on the buttocks with a stick, causing Ah Da to stagger.
At the same time, he struck Ah San on the head with a palm strike, making Ah San dizzy.
Li Yao laughed and said, "This is called beating a dog with a stick and slapping a hawk."
Just as Li Yao was fighting with A Da and the other two, Wei Yixiao's figure flashed like a ghost in front of one of the carriages and reached out to lift the black cloth.
The carriage was filled with monks.
The monks looked listless, as if they had been poisoned.
Wei Yixiao exclaimed in surprise, "Master, inside is a bunch of bald monks!"
Li Yao has already seen it!
Actually, he had already guessed before that the people in the carriage were monks, and that they were probably monks from Shaolin Temple.
Because of the siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects, Kongzhi and Kongxing took away many of Shaolin Temple's elites.
Meanwhile, the people from the six major sects were poisoned and kidnapped by Zhao Min's men.
Therefore, taking advantage of the Shaolin Temple's vulnerability, Zhao Min led her men to raid the Shaolin Temple.
While fighting with A-Da and the other two, Li Yao teased, "Miss Zhao, your goods are indeed quite special."
Seeing that her scheme had been exposed, Zhao Min no longer concealed it and said, "These bald monks are ignorant of the times and refuse to surrender to the court. They brought this upon themselves."
Li Yao used a powerful Vajra Palm technique to send Ah San flying. Ah San spat out a mouthful of blood and died on the spot.
At the same time, he said, "Then, our Ming Cult aims to overthrow your imperial court. Doesn't that make you hate our Ming Cult even more?"
Zhao Min's eyes sharpened, and she said in a deep voice, "That's why I advise Grand Master Li to wake up in time and surrender to the imperial court. Otherwise, your Ming Cult will suffer a worse fate than Shaolin."
After saying that, he gave the two elders of Xuanming a wink.
Immediately, the two elders of Xuanming exchanged a glance and jumped into the battle, joining forces with A'da and A'er to deal with Li Yao.
Even when facing the combined attack of these four masters, Li Yao remained calm and composed.
One blow sent Ah Da's head flying.
With a single palm strike, he caused Ah Er to vomit blood and die.
...
Chapter 109 A Bolt from the Blue: The Tragic Fate of the Xuanming Elders
In the blink of an eye, Li Yao had dealt with A Da, A Er, and A San.
This caught Zhao Min completely off guard!
She had thought Li Yao was capable, but she never imagined he was this capable.
Although Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San were just her servants, she valued loyalty and righteousness and did not treat them as servants.
Now, she witnessed Li Yao kill these three people with her own eyes, and she was filled with both anger and shock.
She commanded in a deep voice, "Master Ku, kill this brat and avenge Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San!"
However, to her surprise, she found that her master, the Bitter Monk, remained standing in the same spot, showing no intention of making a move.
She frowned and asked loudly, "Master Ku, what's wrong?"
She knew that although the monk was mute, he was not deaf.
The ascetic monk always obeyed her orders, so why wasn't he listening to her today?
At this moment, the Bitter Monk's gaze remained fixed on Li Yao.
He saw Li Yao use the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth technique, sometimes redirecting Lu Zhangke's palm strike towards Hebi Weng, and sometimes redirecting Hebi Weng's palm strike towards Lu Zhangke, leaving the two Xuanming Elders at a loss and causing them to make frequent mistakes.
Although he did not know the Great Shift of the Universe, he had witnessed the Great Shift of the Universe being used by Yang Dingtian, the leader of the Yang Cult.
Therefore, he was quite certain that Li Yao in front of him must be the new leader of the Ming Cult.
In fact, Li Yao knew the identity of the Bitter Monk.
Therefore, he deliberately used the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth technique so that the Bitter Monk could see it clearly.
The Bitter Monk glanced at Zhao Min.
Suddenly, he leaped up and landed in front of Zhao Min, lifted her off the horse, and grabbed her throat with his hand.
Zhao Min was stunned and exclaimed, "Master Ku, what are you doing?"
Not only was Zhao Min stunned, but her attendants were also stunned.
Even Wei Yixiao, who was fighting Zhao Min's henchmen, was confused about what had happened.
Wei Yixiao wondered to himself: Are these Tartars about to start an internal conflict?
Then, he gave the ascetic a deep look.
For some reason, he felt that this monk looked somewhat familiar.
Although the monk's face was completely disfigured, his physique and demeanor gave Wei Yixiao a sense of déjà vu.
At this moment, the ascetic monk spoke up, saying, "Princess, please forgive me."
Zhao Min was completely stunned and asked in surprise, "You...you're not mute?!"
Zhao Min's followers looked at each other in bewilderment. They had followed Zhao Min for many years and had never seen the Bitter Monk utter a single word.
Everyone thought that the Bitter Monk was mute.
Now, the ascetic monk has actually spoken.
The ascetic shrugged and smiled, "I'm so sorry to have kept this from you for so long. Actually, I am Fan Yao, the Right Envoy of the Ming Cult."
Fan Yao, Right Envoy of the Ming Cult!
This news struck Zhao Min and the others like a bolt from the blue, leaving them completely stunned.
Unexpectedly, the Right Envoy of the Ming Cult had infiltrated the Prince of Ruyang's residence for nearly twenty years without anyone noticing.
This is absolutely terrifying!
Wei Yixiao was both surprised and delighted. While fighting with Zhao Min's attendants, he shouted, "Right Envoy Fan, is it really you?"
Fan Yao laughed loudly, "Vampire Bat, it's been twenty years since we last met. How have you been?"
Although Fan Yao's face was disfigured, his voice remained unchanged.
As one of the four great protectors of the Ming Cult, Wei Yixiao was very familiar with Fan Yao, so of course he would not forget Fan Yao's voice.
He immediately burst into laughter, "It really is you! I never imagined that your sudden disappearance twenty years ago was actually an infiltration of the Prince of Ruyang's residence. This is wonderful, hahaha..."
Zhao Min suppressed her shock and tried to remain calm, coldly asking, "Master Ku, what is your purpose in infiltrating my Ruyang Prince's Mansion?"
She's gotten used to being called Master Ku.
Fan Yao explained, "Twenty years ago, my Ming Cult leader Yang suddenly disappeared. I suspected it was related to Cheng Kun, who then defected to the Ruyang Prince's Mansion. So I risked disfiguring myself to sneak into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion in order to secretly investigate the mystery of leader Yang's disappearance."
Now he has learned that Yang Dingtian died in the Ming Cult's secret passage, and that the Ming Cult has a new leader who is wise and powerful and has revitalized the Ming Cult from its disarray.
Therefore, there was no longer any need for him to remain hidden in the Prince of Ruyang's residence.
In addition, he happened to meet the new cult leader today, so he revealed his true identity.
Bang!
Bang!
Two muffled thuds.
Li Yao killed the two Xuanming Elders with a single palm strike.
The two Xuanming Elders, who believed their Xuanming Divine Palm was invincible, were killed by Li Yao with a single palm strike after only a few rounds.
Zhao Min's heart tightened. Even the Xuanming Elders were dead, and her master, the Bitter Monk, whom she had always relied on, was actually the Right Envoy of the Ming Cult.
It seems she's doomed today.
Li Yao clapped his hands, gave Fan Yao a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "Right Envoy Fan, you did a great job!"
Fan Yao said loudly, "Thank you for the praise, Master."
Immediately, he shouted, "Stop right now, or I'll kill your princess!"
Zhao Min's attendants all stopped what they were doing, looking at each other in bewilderment, unsure of what to do.
Zhao Min raised her eyebrows and loudly commanded, "Don't worry about me, fight your way out and send a message to my father!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her followers started fighting again, trying to break through.
Li Yao certainly wouldn't let these people off the hook; he kicked another stick with his foot.
Immediately, he brandished his stick and used a move from the Dog-Beating Stick Technique called "No Dogs Under Heaven," charging into the crowd.
Instantly, shadows of staffs appeared from all directions, their power erupting like a storm, making them difficult to resist.
In an instant, a large number of corpses lay on the ground.
Zhao Min, Fan Yao, and Wei Yixiao were dumbfounded.
The power of this Dog-Beating Stick Technique is incredible!
Zhao Min's eyes darted around, and she gave the order again: "Quickly, subdue Kong Wen!"
She wanted her followers to control Kong Wen in order to blackmail Li Yao.
