Li Boyang nodded to Huang Feihong, then leaned one shoulder and knee against the door, placing his hands on the top and bottom of the door.
"three."
"two."
"one."
"Drink it."
Suddenly, Li Boyang took a deep breath, his throat twitched inward, then surged out, and a roar like a tiger's howl came from his mouth.
His hands, which had been resting on the door, transformed into tiger claws, creating a crack in the door. With a stomp of his foot, the ground trembled, and with a shake of his shoulders, the cement on both sides of the church door cracked open. In the blink of an eye, the entire door detached from the cement, and Li Boyang lifted the door and rushed out.
Outside the church, there were hundreds of White Lotus followers, a dozen of whom were holding bows and arrows. After firing a fire arrow, someone next to them immediately lit another one to continue the attack.
The moment Li Boyang charged out, Huang Feihong was not idle either. He put his hands into his pockets, and the next moment, a copper coin was held between the five fingers of each hand. With a flick of his wrist, the copper coin flew out.
A sharp metallic whistling sound rang out as eight copper coins pierced the air, shooting towards the White Lotus Sect members who were shooting arrows, like lightning carrying eight streaks of bronze light.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Eight of the White Lotus Sect members responsible for shooting each had a line of blood spurting from their chests, and could no longer hold their hard bows, rolling on the ground clutching their chests.
Li Boyang, staring at the gate, didn't see this scene. If he had, he would have known that Huang Feihong had shown mercy. In the hands of a trained special forces soldier, even a small playing card could slit a person's throat, let alone the eight copper coins in Huang Feihong's hand.
Wong Fei-hung's boxing style was directed outwards, not inwards; he did not kill the weak.
"Stop shooting, you guys go and entangle Wong Fei-hung."
Upon hearing the order, the White Lotus Sect members ignored Li Boyang and rushed towards Huang Feihong.
"Li Boyang, today is your death day."
A shout came from the White Lotus Sect members, and a Taoist priest flew out, kicking Li Boyang, who was rushing towards the door, and issued the command in a flash.
"Boyang, be careful." With three kicks, Huang Feihong sent three White Lotus Sect members flying. More members rushed forward. Although most of these members were of average skill, there were still a few skilled ones among them. Huang Feihong was annoyed; he was clearly being held back.
"Let's see who dies."
Although he couldn't see, it didn't mean he couldn't hear. Suddenly, the veins on Li Boyang's body bulged, his muscles twisted, his center of gravity shifted, and his momentum not only didn't slow down but actually accelerated.
The wooden door was completely reduced to dust. Li Boyang's shoulder collided with the Taoist's kick in mid-air. He felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and a huge force in front of him. He staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.
The moment the Taoist stepped onto Li Boyang's shoulder, he used the reaction force to perform a backflip and land smoothly.
"Master Jiugong?"
He quickly moved the blood and qi in his shoulders. This was a tough guy, no weaker than himself. Li Boyang knew from the Taoist's attire that he was the leader of the White Lotus Sect in Guangzhou, the Nine Palaces Taoist.
At the same time, with that one strike, he realized that Master Jiugong was also a master, no less skilled than himself.
"I never expected that you, the butcher, would know my name. Today, I will avenge the followers of my sect who died at your hands."
Master Jiugong was clearly very confident in his skills, otherwise he wouldn't have had his followers entangle Huang Feihong while he dealt with Li Boyang himself.
Moreover, this arrangement is like Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, pitting inferior horses against superior ones, and superior horses against average ones.
Huang Feihong was the superior horse, while the White Lotus Sect followers were the inferior horses. Master Jiugong knew that Huang Feihong was a chivalrous and benevolent man, and that the followers only needed to hold Huang Feihong back. Even if the followers were no match for Huang Feihong, they would not be in any danger.
In the eyes of Master Jiugong, he himself was a top-class horse, while Li Boyang could only be considered a medium-class horse. He was superior to Li Boyang, and as long as he could kill Li Boyang before Huang Feihong dealt with the cult members, his gains on this trip would be substantial.
The fact that he could make reasonable arrangements in the blink of an eye shows that Master Jiugong is indeed worthy of being the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Unfortunately, he miscalculated one thing: Li Boyang may not be that mediocre horse.
Now, Li Boyang has grasped the meaning of "all under heaven are enemies" and is unstoppable. When fighting, his momentum and will are in harmony, his will and energy are in harmony, and his energy and strength are in harmony, making him increasingly fearless. In addition, he has been studying Tai Chi diligently recently, so he may not be afraid of the Nine Palaces Master.
If Li Boyang knew about Jiugong Zhenren's plans, he would probably say something.
"You chose the wrong person."

Chapter 31 Taoist Steps
Although Master Jiugong was full of confidence, even a lion needs to go all out to catch a rabbit, and he would not let himself be defeated by underestimating Li Boyang.
"Yu Steps?"
With each step, the Nine Palaces Immortal moved in a blur, shifting between yin and yang, changing positions several times in the blink of an eye, and in an instant, he arrived in front of Li Boyang, his body radiating a light and ethereal aura, as if he had transcended the mortal realm.
As expected, Master Jiugong was also a master of applying force to a high degree; otherwise, he could not have produced such a footwork that combined momentum and intention, intention and force. Moreover, this footwork was not simple; it was the Yu Step, a secret technique passed down by Taoism.
Legend has it that the Yu Step was created by Yu the Great imitating the walking of a divine bird on the shore of the South China Sea. After creating the Yu Step, Yu the Great never encountered any danger. Ge Hong's "Inner Chapters of Baopuzi: Climbing and Crossing" also says: "Walking with the Yu Step can ward off 'a hundred evils and tigers and wolves'." This shows the power of the Yu Step.
Li Boyang was naturally not afraid. Since he had grasped the power of momentum, fear had become nonexistent in battle.
Seeing the Nine Palaces Master rushing towards him with lightning speed amidst the changing footwork, he remained calm. He squatted down to the left and immediately took a Tai Chi cat step. When the opponent was close, he suddenly swung his arm horizontally, which was the Banlan Chui from the Tai Chi form.
Although this blocking punch didn't seem to even shatter the air, it had an unstoppable momentum. Combined with the supreme strength of Tai Chi punches, if the opponent dared to take it head-on, even if the opponent was a master of neutralizing energy, Li Boyang was confident that he could send the opponent flying with the punch.
"He truly deserves to be called a butcher. This is probably the same kind of momentum that Li Yuanba and Lü Bu had when they fought on the battlefield in ancient times."
Seeing that the opponent's hammer came down without even making a sound, Master Jiugong knew that this was the manifestation of the Transformation Force, which is silent yet powerful. It seemed to make no noise, but when it came into contact with the opponent, the explosive force of the hammer was enough to smash a wall.
Instead of directly confronting the attack, he shifted his position once again.
Upon seeing that Master Jiugong was not engaging him head-on, Li Boyang immediately transformed his Tai Chi cat-step into Hong Quan leopard pounce, pushing off with his back leg and using his power to attack the enemy. It was the same whether the enemy came to him or he went to attack the enemy.
