If we keep playing like this, we're going to lose!
I don't believe you can absorb internal energy from your entire body!
Jiang Kuang thought of this and decided to win by using his moves, and the most unexpected move in the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms was the Dragon Tail Swing.
But you only get one chance; it's all or nothing!
Jiang Kuang fought faster and faster, no longer caring that his internal energy was being absorbed by his opponent. Finally, he seized an opportunity and unleashed the Divine Dragon Tail Swing!
I won!
Bang!
Wu Yazi smiled smugly, "You lost."
It turns out that the flaw just now was deliberately left for Jiang Kuang by Wu Yazi. The protection of the Beiming True Qi is not so easy to break. If Jiang Kuang had such a good opportunity from the beginning, he might have succeeded.
However, Jiang Kuang had already exhausted too much energy and was unable to break through the defense of the Northern Darkness True Qi.
And so, Jiang Kuang was in trouble. This time the suction was very strong, and both his hands were grabbed by the other party, making it impossible for him to break free.
"I didn't lose..." Jiang Kuang gritted his teeth and persisted. He couldn't lose. If he lost like this, the Beggars' Sect's secret technique would be taken away by this person.
“If you continue like this, you will lose all your skills and become a cripple. Is it worth it? I have said that the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms are only for research purposes. They will not be passed on or practiced. They will not cause much loss to your Beggar Clan,” Wu Yazi advised.
"Hmph! What do you mean by 'only for research'? That sounds better than it is. I will never admit defeat." Jiang Kuang didn't disbelieve it, but he couldn't believe it. He didn't want to be a sinner, and he didn't want to live under the judgment of others in the future.
At this moment, the Beggars' Sect members and the martial arts practitioners watching the battle also noticed something was wrong. The two had just fought evenly, so how come Chief Jiang suddenly became weak?
"Master!" Wang Jiantong clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. His invincible master had actually fallen into a disadvantageous position.
"Elder Xu, if the leader's life is in danger, let's forget about rules and morality and rush forward to rid the martial world of this scourge!" Elder Zhao said in a low voice.
"This...so many martial arts practitioners are watching, isn't it inappropriate for us to do this? Besides, the leader has declared his determination to die, isn't it all to preserve both the sect's unique martial arts and the Beggars' Sect's reputation?" Xu Chongxiao lamented.
"So you're just going to watch your leader die? What does the Beggars' Sect's reputation matter compared to your leader's life!" Elder Zhao roared.
Perhaps because he was too excited, his voice was quite loud, and it reached Li Qiushui's ears.
"Hehe, your gang leader would rather die than admit defeat, he is truly a hero. I see that you are all unwilling to accept defeat, so why don't we change the rules and have all of you come at me together? I will take on you all." Li Qiushui smiled sweetly.
"Madam, please continue watching the battle. I alone am enough. Chief Jiang, you are eager to die, but I cannot let you die, nor can I bear to see you become a cripple. Therefore, I will beat you until you are convinced. Members of the Beggars' Sect, come at me together!" After saying this, Wu Yazi stopped absorbing and sent Jiang Kuang flying with a palm strike.
puff……
Jiang Kuang spat out a mouthful of blood, but he managed to maintain his balance with all his might, preventing a nasty fall.
"Chief!" Elder Zhao shouted and rushed forward, "Since our distinguished guest dares to challenge the entire Beggars' Clan, then what are we waiting for! Quickly save our Chief! Set up the formation!"
"No... Pfft... I haven't lost yet!" Jiang Kuang tried to stop everyone, but he spat out a mouthful of blood because he was too badly injured.
"Charge!" The Beggars' Sect members swarmed forward, besieging Wuyazi. "Dog-Beating Stick Formation, every stick beats the dog!"
Chapter 408 A Fight to the Death
A group of beggars, shouting "Beat the dog with sticks!", charged over menacingly. To be honest, the physical power was secondary; the main attack was on a mental level. If Wu Yazi was hit even once, he would feel disgusted like a dog.
The essence of the "Dog-Beating Stick Formation" lies in verbally abusing the opponent to the point of frustration. Users often shout out various dog-related moves while striking, and they also spit or phlegm from time to time, which is extremely infuriating.
However, Jiang Kuang's dog-beating stick never actually touched Wu Yazi, so what could these beggars possibly do?
Wu Yazi calmly glanced at Jiang Kuang, then unleashed a torrent of white palm force, instantly enveloping the Beggar Clan members. Its power was several times stronger than the force he had used when he first fought Jiang Kuang!
Bang bang bang!
Ahhh...
The Beggars' Sect members were all sent flying in an instant, including several Beggars' Sect elders.
The Beggars' Sect is a mysterious sect. The martial arts that truly belong to the Beggars' Sect can only be practiced by the successive leaders of the sect, while the martial arts of others mostly come from family traditions or other sects.
Even Qiao Feng first became a disciple of Xuan Ku of Shaolin Temple, mastering Shaolin kung fu before joining the Beggars' Sect. He then made many great contributions and eventually gained the trust of Wang Jiantong, who passed the position of sect leader to him.
Therefore, apart from the leader being a top expert, the martial arts skills of the other elders and disciples of the Beggars' Sect are far inferior to those of the elites of various martial arts families and major sects.
Because truly powerful martial arts families and sects, such as the Murong family of Gusu and Shaolin, are unlikely to have their top masters join the Beggars' Sect. Those who do join the Beggars' Sect are mostly peripheral figures, and it is difficult for them to learn the unique skills of each sect.
After joining the Beggars' Sect, most of these people would prepare a stick called the Dog-Beating Stick. Its original purpose was to drive away stray dogs. After beating many stray dogs, the Dog-Beating Stick technique would naturally become second nature.
In addition, when driving away stray dogs, everyone works together to be more efficient, and they can also kill the dogs and have a meal of dog meat. That's how the dog-beating stick formation was developed.
In short, the essence of the Dog-Beating Stick Formation is chaos—the more chaotic, the better; the more irregular, the better, making it impossible to defend against. The power of the stick formation is directly proportional to the number of people in it.
However, the reason why the Dog-Beating Stick Formation can be called a formation is because of its chaotic nature. But this chaos is an orderly chaos. It is obviously disorderly, but it can achieve the goal of not interfering with each other, which is truly amazing.
Honestly, people in the martial arts world would rather face a formation with predictable patterns like the Hunyuan Sword Formation than a formation like the Dog-Beating Stick Formation.
However, for a master like Wu Yazi who can use the Splitting Palm and has abundant internal energy, breaking the Dog-Beating Stick Formation is not difficult.
Originally, Wu Yazi mainly cultivated the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, but after marrying Li Qiushui, his White Rainbow Palm power improved rapidly. In addition, he had just absorbed and transformed a large amount of Beiming True Qi from Jiang Kuang, so dealing with this group of beggars was no problem at all.
That's why Li Qiushui dared to challenge the entire Beggars' Sect. After Jiang Kuang was seriously injured, even if the entire Beggars' Sect attacked together, it would be useless.
Jiang Kuang shed tears of humiliation. He could be defeated, and he could at least wash away the shame with his own life, but the entire Beggars' Sect would be defeated, which was something that his death could not solve.
The largest gang in the world?
It's just that there are a lot of people. The more people there are, the more it shows that the people in the Central Plains are living in poverty. If life were good, who would want to be a beggar?
"Get out of my way! I'm not dead yet! Don't you even listen to the gang leader?" Jiang Kuang finally caught his breath, but then he went limp again after shouting.
The Beggars' Sect members now understood why Jiang Kuang had lost. His martial arts were so powerful that even the phrase "unfathomable" wouldn't suffice. Their only chance of victory was to join Jiang Kuang in attacking the two from the start, but it was clearly too late to say anything now.
The Beggars' Sect disciples stopped their suicidal attacks, and Wu Yazi also stopped. "Chief Jiang, even now, are you still not going to admit defeat? Although I don't want to kill anyone, if the Beggars' Sect breaks its promise, I don't mind using the number one sect in the world to establish my authority."
"Ha, now that things have come to this, do I still have the face to live? Today's battle is a fight to the death! As long as I have a breath left, the Beggars' Sect has not lost!" Jiang Kuang said through gritted teeth.
“Chief Jiang, this is not right of you. Everyone knows that the two great martial arts of the Beggars’ Clan are passed down orally from one chief to another. Now that you are dead, who will keep the promise and give us the secret manuals of the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms and the Dog-Beating Staff Technique?” Li Qiushui questioned.
"Hmph, I will naturally appear in his dreams after I die. As for whether he can remember me, that is not my problem." Jiang Kuang's old face turned slightly red. At this point, it was difficult for him to even ask for a dignified way to die, but in any case, the Beggars' Sect's ultimate skills could not be taken away by the other party.
"Chief Jiang, why are you doing this?" Wu Yazi sighed. "With your actions, aren't you ruining your lifelong reputation? Where is the credibility of the number one gang in the world?"
“Reputation? I haven’t admitted defeat. The competition isn’t over yet, so the outcome is still undecided. How can the Beggars’ Sect have broken its promise?” Jiang Kuang stood up.
Clap clap clap.
Li Qiushui clapped her hands. "Chief Jiang is really good at scheming. He thinks that because we dare not kill you, you can keep refusing to admit defeat. No matter what the outcome of this competition is, we will not be able to obtain your gang's two great secret techniques."
However, I don't believe Chief Jiang would allow the Beggars' Sect's ultimate skills to be lost. Giving us a copy is enough; the Beggars' Sect will only lose face. But if Chief Jiang's death leads to the complete loss of these two ultimate skills, the Beggars' Sect will be a mere shell of its former self.
The relative importance is obvious. Therefore, I believe that since Chief Jiang is determined to die, he must have already made arrangements for his affairs and passed on his two ultimate martial arts techniques to someone else ahead of time, right? Presumably, that person is here right now, isn't that right?"
Jiang Kuang's eyes widened suddenly. "What do you want to do? If you want to kill me, come at me alone!"
"That won't do. They've already entered the arena for the competition. Since Chief Jiang said this competition is a fight to the death, let's have a bloodbath! Let's do it according to Chief Jiang's rules! Chief Jiang, watch closely, these people are dying because of you."
After saying that, Li Qiushui walked up to Elder Zhao, who had just led the group, and put her hand on his shoulder. "I can tell you're a tough guy who would rather die than submit. So let's start with you. Tell me who Jiang Gang Leader's successor is?"
Elder Zhao was seriously injured and had no power to resist. He was only able to keep his life hanging by a thread because of the internal energy in his body. "The Beggars' Sect's secret techniques are only passed down to the sect leader. The current sect leader is still Jiang Kuang. If he were to pass them on to a second person, it would be a violation of the sect rules. I believe that Sect Leader Jiang would never do such a thing."
"That's not necessarily true. There should always be a backup. Let me ask you a different question: Which Beggar Clan disciple does Chief Jiang value most? If your answer still doesn't satisfy me, then I'll have to kill you. This competition is a fight to the death, that's what Chief Jiang said, so I have no choice but to obey." Li Qiushui smiled slightly.
For a moment, everyone in the Beggars' Sect turned their gazes toward Wang Jiantong, but they quickly realized they couldn't look!
Wang Jiantong stared at Jiang Kuang with tears in his eyes. He hadn't rushed forward, so he wasn't participating in the competition, but he was still in danger.
Because too many people know he is Jiang Kuang's direct disciple, it's impossible to keep it a secret!
Chapter 409 A Second Move
A crane circled high in the sky, silently looking down at Luoyang City.
Li Canghai had already disguised himself as a man and blended into the crowd of onlookers. With the Beggars' Sect suffering such a crushing defeat, it was unlikely that the target that the God of Wine was looking for could be among them.
Although Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui's actions were somewhat inappropriate, Li Canghai could not intervene. According to the God of Wine, since they had followed the Overlord and embarked on the path of immortality, there was no need to interfere with the affairs of the mortal world; they could simply remain bystanders.
Everyone has their own choices, and at the same time, they must bear the corresponding consequences of their choices, even if it is a bad one.
Moreover, Li Canghai has no connection with the Beggars' Sect. Even if he were to intervene, he should be helping Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui, but that's clearly not the case.
The Beggars' Sect was outmatched in skill and lacked composure, making repeated mistakes. This not only thwarted the scheme of their leader Jiang Kuang, but also angered Li Qiushui, making a peaceful resolution unlikely.
Li Canghai sighed inwardly, fearing that Elder Zhao was in danger. His sister, Li Qiushui, had deliberately chosen the person least likely to answer honestly when asking the question.
"Who is the Beggar Clan disciple that Chief Jiang values most?" Li Qiushui asked Elder Zhao, but Jiang Kuang on the other side was anxious.
"Elder Zhao, answer whatever she asks, don't hide anything!" Jiang Kuang roared.
"Hahaha... I am the Beggar Clan disciple that the Chief values most! However, the Chief has not passed on his ultimate skills to me. Are you satisfied with this answer?" Elder Zhao laughed.
"Chief Jiang, are you still not going to admit defeat?" Li Qiushui looked at Jiang Kuang.
Jiang Kuang closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "I don't admit it!"
"Alright, next!" Li Qiushui said, and was about to make her move.
Elder Zhao knew that this woman had no intention of letting him go, so he decided to fight to the death and risk everything. He abandoned his attempt to suppress his injuries with his true energy and instead unleashed a palm strike first!
"Go to hell!"
Li Qiushui sneered and used the Northern Darkness Divine Art to instantly absorb Elder Zhao's true energy. Although she only absorbed a small amount, it still caused Elder Zhao's true energy to become disordered. His palm strike was exhausted before it even touched Li Qiushui's body.
Elder Zhao launched a desperate attack, but unfortunately the attack failed. However, his desperate attempt to save his life was successful. He immediately convulsed and died.
In fact, even if Li Qiushui hadn't made a move, Elder Zhao wouldn't have lived much longer, since he was the one who charged ahead.
Wu Yazi was already very merciful for not killing him on the spot.
Of course, with Wu Yazi's medical skills, it wouldn't be difficult to save Elder Zhao's life. However, the Beggar Clan is unyielding and even a bit shameless, so it would be strange if Wu Yazi were willing to save him.
"Elder Zhao!" The Beggars' Sect members were outraged upon seeing Elder Zhao's tragic death, and those who were still able to fight raised their sticks, ready to attack again.
"Stop! No one is allowed to lay a hand on me without my order! Even if I die, you are not allowed to lay a hand on me!" Jiang Kuang's eyes were filled with tears. He was extremely conflicted, wondering whether or not to hand over the Beggars' Sect's ultimate technique. What if these two killers really killed all the Beggars' Sect's elites? Wouldn't that be...?
"Chief Jiang, I am also very sorry that this happened. Do you still want to continue the competition?" Wu Yazi was determined to obtain the two great skills of the Beggars' Sect, and giving up was out of the question.
"Does your wife still intend to continue the killing?" Jiang Kuang asked in return.
"Can't Chief Jiang see that Elder Zhao just now was asking for death? Since he agreed to the contest, he should have accepted the consequences. What kind of logic is it to go back on your word when you're about to lose? If you want to die, then kill yourself now. But I won't give up the bet I deserve. I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but I'm willing to grant the wish of someone who wants to die," Wu Yazi said coldly.
