Elder Xi scoffed, "I see your Thunderous Hands can only steal cards. Watch my One-Finger Divine Skill instead."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and with a hiss, a finger strike shot towards Li Yao.
Li Yao smiled slightly, and with a flick of his finger, a burst of energy collided precisely with Elder Xi's finger energy.
Chapter 161 The Duan Family of Dali, the Unspeakable… (Revised)
Bang!
A muffled thud.
Elder west's finger strike instantly vanished.
Li Yao's finger strike was like a beam of light, hitting Elder west.
A bloody hole immediately appeared on Elder Xi's left shoulder, from which blood gushed out.
He was taken aback and quickly tapped his body a few times with his right hand, and the bleeding immediately stopped.
"One-Finger Divine Skill?!"
The four elders exclaimed in unison, exchanging bewildered glances.
Despite the pain, Elder Xi couldn't help but ask, "Are you also a descendant of the Duan family of Dali?"
Li Yao said calmly, "One-Finger Divine Skill is no longer a unique skill of your Dali Duan family."
Indeed, back in the Legend of the Condor Heroes era, Emperor Duan Zhixing of the South exchanged his One-Finger Divine Skill with Wang Chongyang of the Central Divine.
In the Condor Heroes era, Duan Zhixing passed on the One-Finger Divine Skill to four of his retainers: fisherman, woodcutter, farmer, and scholar.
Elder Bei's expression turned serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "Just who are you?"
Before he could finish speaking, a hissing sound was heard.
A burst of energy struck Li Yao.
Li Yao immediately stood still at a distance.
"Why waste your breath on him!"
Elder Dong blew on his fingers triumphantly and said, "No matter how powerful he is, he still can't dodge my Sunflower Acupuncture Technique."
"Hahaha……"
Elder Bei laughed loudly, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Elder Dong is still a cut above the rest!"
Elder Nan and Elder Xi both snorted coldly, "What's so great about it? It was just a sneak attack."
Elder Dong rolled his eyes. "If you're so capable, try ambushing one of them and see what happens."
Elder Bei's face darkened, and he shouted, "Stop arguing, all of you. Let's find out what this kid's background is."
Elder Nan looked at Li Yao with a sinister gaze and threatened, "Tell me quickly, who exactly are you? How did you infiltrate the Sunflower Sect?"
"Ah, that feels so good!"
Li Yao suddenly stretched and did a chest-expanding movement.
Then, under the horrified gazes of the four elders, he found a seat, slowly poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip.
"You...you...weren't you acupunctured?"
Elder Dong's eyes widened, his mouth agape, and he pointed at Li Yao, asking a question.
laugh!
laugh!
laugh!
laugh!
The four bursts of energy struck the four elders respectively.
The four elders stood frozen in place, like four wooden figures.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Let us go!"
"Do you know that offending us will lead to a terrible death!"
"We are the Emperor's people!"
"..."
The four elders argued incessantly.
Li Yao ignored them and calmly scanned the ground with his eyes.
Luck +39!
True Qi +45!
...
Congratulations, host! Your true qi has exceeded 1500 points, and your realm has been upgraded to: Qi Refining Realm Level 6!
Thunderclap Quick Hands *1!
...
The three elders from the East, South, and West possessed considerable internal strength, but lost a significant amount of their true qi attribute.
Moreover, his realm has been upgraded once again.
Li Yao looked at his harvest and fell into deep thought.
Elder Xi did not drop the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
In other words, Elder west, as a descendant of the Dali Duan family, might not possess the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
Could it be that the Six Meridians Divine Sword technique has been lost to time?
This time, he came to Sunflower Valley mainly for the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
He certainly wouldn't give up easily.
The four elders continued arguing.
"So noisy!"
Li Yao frowned, flicked his fingers three times, and the three elders from the east, south, and north were immediately silenced by having their pressure points sealed.
He then walked toward Elder west.
Elder Xi asked in a trembling voice, "What...what do you want to do?"
Li Yao asked, "Doesn't your Dali Duan family also have the Six Meridian Divine Sword? Why haven't you learned it?"
Elder Xi was surprised and couldn't help but ask, "How do you know I don't know the Six Meridians Divine Sword?"
Li Yao said, "If you knew the Six Meridians Divine Sword, you wouldn't have been defeated by me in one move."
Elder Xi looked extremely embarrassed, thinking to himself, "If I knew the Six Meridians Divine Sword, I wouldn't have joined this damned Sunflower Sect."
Li Yao's eyes darted around as he said, "The Six Meridians Divine Sword is the ultimate technique of your Dali Duan family. It's impossible that there wasn't a manual left behind. Tell me, where is the manual?"
"this……"
Elder Xi's eyes flickered as he avoided Li Yao's gaze.
When Li Yao saw Elder Xi's expression, he was overjoyed.
Looks like there's hope!
Therefore, he coldly threatened, "Let me tell you, I use many methods of interrogation. Don't make me try them all on you."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Elder west was a shrewd man who knew that a wise man doesn't suffer losses in the short term.
He hurriedly said, "I have a secret recipe."
Li Yao asked, "Where is it? Hurry up and take it out."
Elder Xi quickly replied, "In...in my room."
"Okay, I hope you're not kidding me!"
After saying that, Li Yao dragged Elder west along and, guided by Elder west, arrived at Elder Xi's room.
Li Yao threw Elder west to the ground and used his One-Finger Divine Skill to release Elder Xi's pressure points, saying, "Quickly take out the secret manual."
After saying that, he went to a table and sat down.
"Okay, okay..."
Elder Xi nodded quickly.
He then staggered to his bedside, lifted the blankets and quilts, revealing the bed frame.
Then, he fumbled around the headboard a few times.
With a series of clicking sounds, a hidden compartment appeared on the bed board.
Goodness, it's hidden so well, it must be very valuable!
Elder Xi took out a book from inside, then placed it shakily on the table and pushed it in front of Li Yao.
Li Yao took a closer look.
The book, which was the cultivation manual for the One-Finger Divine Skill, was useless to Li Yao.
Li Yao tossed the book aside and asked, "Any more?"
His gaze fell upon the hidden compartment, where he saw two scrolls lying.
He pointed to the scroll and asked, "What are those two? Let me see them."
Elder Xi hesitated and said, "These two scrolls are just paintings, there are no secret manuals in them."
Li Yao glared at him and said, "Just take it when I tell you to, stop talking nonsense!"
