Each time the palms moved forward one foot, there was a brief pause, as if they had stopped for a split second.
In that instant, new power suddenly arose in Li Yao's palm, and before the new power was exhausted, more power arrived, pushing the palm force forward layer by layer.
At first it was like rippling blue waves, but in the end it was like the rolling tide, layer upon layer, rolling in.
boom!
Amidst a thunderous roar, the palm strikes intertwined and surged, dissipating and spreading outwards, a sudden hurricane arose, directly knocking the onlookers to the ground.
Guo Juxia was startled. Thanks to Bai Sanniang's reminder, he had already used seventy or eighty percent of his power.
Unexpectedly, Li Yao easily defused his attack.
It seems that Li Yao is indeed an extremely formidable opponent.
Guo Juxia flipped his hands in the air, his body surging with immense internal energy, and struck out at Li Yao with another palm.
This time, he had used all his strength.
Faintly, one could hear the roars of dragons and tigers, howling outwards.
This is the eighth move of the Surging Waves Palm: Dragon Soars and Tiger Roars!
This move was something that Guo Juxia learned when he was young, during a martial arts exchange with Elder Gong of the Beggars' Sect.
Although he did not possess the mental techniques of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, he used his astonishing memory to memorize one of the eighteen moves and combined them to create a move of immense power.
This is... a knock-off version of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?
Li Yao was slightly taken aback.
Very well, I'll show you the real Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!
After thinking it over, he gathered his true energy and simply pushed out with his palm, unleashing a tremendous force.
hold head high!
The surging palm force whipped up a fierce wind, and the deep, resonant dragon roar continued endlessly, captivating the soul.
"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!"
Bai San Niang, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Guo Juxia was also visibly shocked.
He had witnessed the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms before, so he naturally recognized that the palm technique Li Yao used was indeed the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
Unexpectedly, Li Yao actually knew the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
boom!
Just as Guo Juxia's expression changed, the two palm strikes collided violently, causing the entire Six Doors government office to shake violently.
Bang!
Guo Juxia was struck by Li Yao's palm strike, and his body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Guo Juxia lost?"
"Master Guo actually lost?"
"That's impossible!"
The members of the Six Doors were all in disbelief when they saw Guo Juxia defeated.
They had no idea that Guo Juxia would lose.
They stared at Li Yao in astonishment, unable to believe that the young man before them had defeated Guo Juxia.
At that moment, Li Yao was calmly scanning the ground with his eyes.
"Ding! Successfully collected 'Luck Points', Luck +68"
"Ding! Successfully acquired the 'True Qi' attribute, True Qi +36"
...
"Ding! Successfully picked up a 'gift pack', please check it!"
"Open the gift pack!"
"Ding! The gift pack has been successfully opened. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the martial skill: 'Surging Wave Palm'!"
"Not bad, not bad, I've got the Surging Wave Palm!"
This Shocking Wave Palm has fifteen forms, both offensive and defensive, making it extremely powerful.
After acquiring the spoils, Li Yao approached Guo Juxia, cupped his hands, and said, "Guo Juxia, you flatter me."
Guo Juxia had already stood up, and calmly cupped his hands, saying, "I am inferior in skill and humbly admit defeat!"
Now that he had obtained everything he was entitled to, Li Yao did not intend to linger any longer.
He cupped his hands in greeting to the chief constable and Guo Juxia, and said, "I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
Then he said to Bai Sanniang, "Bai Sanniang, are you coming with me to the Embroidered Uniform Guard now, or will you go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard by yourself later?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Juxia couldn't help but ask Bai Sanniang, "What? You've joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
Bai San Niang nodded and recounted the whole story to Guo Juxia.
Guo Juxia felt a little better after learning that Li Yao had defeated Gongsun Wulong.
Even the unfathomable Gongsun Wulong fell to Li Yao, so it's no wonder that I would lose to Li Yao as well.
After explaining to Guo Juxia, Bai Sanniang said to Li Yao, "Let's go, I'll go with you to the Embroidered Uniform Guard now."
Li Yao nodded, and together with Bai San Niang, they turned and left.
Just then, Guo Juxia suddenly shouted at Li Yao's back, "Wait, I promise you, I'll join the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
Li Yao was overjoyed and turned around to say, "Welcome to the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
Bai San Niang was also delighted. With her old friend Lao Guo around, she had someone else she could talk to.
The chief constable looked the worst.
Li Yao's arrival has taken away two of his most capable generals; this is outrageous.
Chapter 143 Meeting Gu Santong, Old Pig Luo Sends More People to Their Deaths
After Li Yao recruited Bai San Niang and Guo Ju Xia, he handed over Yang Yu Xuan's case to them to handle.
With Bai San Niang and Guo Ju Xia's abilities, they will definitely be able to exonerate Yang Yu Xuan in a very impressive way.
Moreover, he had already obtained a confession from Shi Wenyi, the former commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, before this.
Bai San Niang and Guo Ju Xia only need to continue digging deeper and find more people involved in the case to overturn Yang Yu Xuan's conviction.
Therefore, he didn't need to personally handle this small matter.
Moreover, he had something even more important to do.
That meant he was going to the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison to meet Gu Santong, who called himself the Invincible Child.
Gu Santong, ever since he mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, has been invincible throughout the world.
Twenty years ago, he was famous throughout the martial arts world and was hailed as the number one master in the land.
Later, he dueled with Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, and the two fought fiercely until the sky darkened.
Just as he was gaining the upper hand, he was distracted by Zhu Wushi's words because he felt guilty towards Su Xin, which caused him to lose his focus and allow Zhu Wushi to make the first move.
He and Su Xin each received half a palm strike from Zhu Wushi's full-force attack and were defeated by Zhu Wushi.
So he kept his promise and willingly accepted twenty years of imprisonment.
Originally, given Li Yao's current status as commander, he could have easily entered the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison by asking Zhengde for a token.
However, he did not want to alarm Zhu Wushi.
So, Li Yao carried some wine and meat and quietly sneaked into the prison.
Although the Heavenly Prison was heavily guarded, Li Yao, with his cultivation level, could enter it as if it were empty.
Soon, Li Yao appeared at the entrance to the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison.
At the entrance, there stood a dark, shiny iron tablet with four large characters engraved on it: Iron-Blooded Marquis.
After crossing the iron monument, Li Yao continued deeper into the area, where skeletons gradually appeared on the ground.
At the far end of the road, there appeared an old man with disheveled hair and bound by iron chains.
The old man hung his head, looking like a dead man.
"Haha, Old Pig Luo has sent more people to their deaths!"
Before Li Yao could even get close, the old man suddenly looked up and laughed loudly.
This old man was Gu Santong, who liked to call Zhu Wushi "Old Pig Luo".
"You must be Gu Santong!"
Li Yao looked Gu Santong up and down, finding it hard to believe that the disheveled old man in front of him was the number one martial arts master in the world twenty years ago.
Gu Santong glanced at Li Yao and, finding that Li Yao's aura was no different from that of an ordinary person, said with disappointment, "Boy, what school do you belong to? What crime have you committed that Old Pig Luo sent you here to die?"
Li Yao shook his head slightly, smiled faintly, and walked straight up to Gu Santong, saying, "How do you know that I was sent or delivered by Zhu Wushi? Perhaps I came here of my own accord?"
Gu Santong scoffed upon hearing this, then burst into loud laughter: "Hahaha, this is the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison. Not only is it heavily guarded, but it is also full of traps. How could a greenhorn like you possibly break into this place?"
Li Yao said calmly, "What prison, what heavily guarded, in my eyes they are nothing but decorations."
Gu Santong scrutinized Li Yao from head to toe again, but still couldn't discern Li Yao's true strength. He then sneered, "Boy, you're spouting nonsense. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you right now?"
Li Yao said calmly, "I'm afraid you can't kill me."
Gu Santong burst into laughter, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
After a moment, he stopped laughing and said:
"Look at those skeletons around you. They are all masters from the eight major sects, each of whom was once a figure who was famous throughout the martial arts world."
"But they all died by my hand. Do you think I can't kill you?"
