I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 128 Behead!
"Xie Yuan!"

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, Chief Escort!"

When everyone in the escort agency saw the shadow, they instantly recognized the person and were surprised and happy.

But they immediately became anxious, and Zhao Xingyang immediately shouted:
"Xiao Xie, don't come in! There's something strange in here, go find the boss... Ugh!"

Before he could finish his words, an instructor from the Vajra Sect who was surrounding the people from the escort agency suddenly attacked with a whistle stick. Zhao Xingyang was a beat slower and was stabbed in the chest and abdomen by the whistle stick. He immediately hunched over like a shrimp and became speechless.

Everyone from the Vajra Gate looked at Xie Yuan who had barged in with strange eyes.

They knew that among the five escort leaders of the escort agency, there was still a lone leader who had not arrived, and that was Xie Yuan.

And although Xie Yuan had just broken through the third level of training, looking at his journey to fame in Yunzhao, he was a rising star who emerged suddenly and rose very quickly.

It felt like only a few months ago that he had just joined the escort agency and won first place in the competition among new disciples;
Before long, he became the leader of the escort team!

Those in this martial arts hall are the core members of the Vajra Sect. They know that Xiang Zhuo, the third-level training instructor, was sent to infiltrate the bandits and ambush and kill Xie Yuan. An enemy with such huge potential must not be allowed to live.

However, a few days later, Xie Yuan returned safe and sound, but Xiang Zhuo's head appeared in the yamen!
No one knows what happened, or how strong Xie Yuan is, but he certainly cannot be taken lightly as an ordinary three-trainer.

Peng Jie stared at Xie Yuan with a dim gaze, revealing a hint of a smile:
"Thank you, Escort Captain, for coming a little late, but at least you didn't miss it. Very good, very good... If you don't come again, your Longteng Escort Agency will lose everything.

"What do you think? Do you want to come on stage and compete again, or just admit defeat and admit that your escort agency cannot beat our King Kong Sect?"

He pretended to be calm when speaking, trying to encourage Xie Yuan to come on stage.

The people from the escort agency were immediately very anxious. Not to mention that the air here was strange, they were all poisoned without any sound, while the people from the Vajra Sect had obviously taken the antidote in advance and were all fine.

Even without this shady trick, Xie Yuan's cultivation alone was already a whole realm behind Peng Jie!

Peng Jie had already shown his level of four-training limit in the previous competition. Xie Yuan, at best, had only three training sessions. How could they compare?

Everyone in the escort agency wanted to prevent Xie Yuan from falling into the trap and quickly go out to tell Shen Longteng what happened here, so that they still had a glimmer of hope; however, most of them could not even stand steadily and were unable to shout. Zhao Xingyang and Lu Zhenyu were both hit with sticks and could not make a sound. They could only anxiously signal Xie Yuan with their eyes to leave quickly.

However, Xie Yuan seemed not to have heard the initial shouts, nor did he notice that they were surrounded in a corner. He walked through the door of the martial arts hall step by step and entered the hall.

"Just think about your Vajra Sect, which is called Vajra but is actually a ghost. If you don't use some dirty tricks, the difference between you and the escort agency is like heaven and earth."

Xie Yuan shouted loudly, then glanced across the crowd gathered in the corner.

When the people in the escort agency saw Xie Yuan finally looking over, they were immediately delighted and winked at each other. Finally, Xie Yuan pointed directly at the people from the Vajra Sect and shouted:
"What's the point of talking about the Vajra Sect? Let's compete!

"Just come at me all at once, why should I, Xie, be afraid?"

When these words were spoken, not only the people from the Vajra Gate were stunned, but even the people from the Escort Agency were stunned.

Xiao Xie is confused!
They were suddenly very anxious. They blinked their eyes until they were about to break. Why couldn't he see?
He is usually a smart person, why is he so reckless now?

Peng Jie was also stunned for a moment when he saw Xie Yuan's arrogant words. Then he turned his eyes to stare at the remaining two third-level training instructors of the Vajra Sect and nodded slightly.

The two instructors slowly left the crowd and walked towards the door, intentionally or unintentionally moving behind Xie Yuan, trying to block the exit.

Xie Yuan felt a little relieved when he saw the two Level 3 Warriors finally leave the encirclement.

Looking at the two men's cautious steps, as if they were afraid that he would run away, Xie Yuan smiled slightly, and instead of retreating, he jumped up and jumped onto the platform.

The two third-level trainees were stunned when they saw him take the initiative to go up to the ring.

Is this guy a fool?

Despite being obviously surrounded, he not only didn't run away, he actually rushed right in!
The two men looked at each other, then hurried forward and stood at the door like door gods.

When everyone in the escort agency saw this scene, they were completely despaired.

It's over. There's no way to escape now.

Peng Jie looked at Xie Yuan who jumped onto the stage, his eyes flashed, and he smiled sarcastically:
“It’s good for young people to have courage, but it’s foolish not to recognize their own strength.”

Seeing Xie Yuan so impulsive, he suspected for a moment that Xie Yuan was not a fool, but really had some strength, but he immediately denied this speculation.

No matter how capable he is, how can he be better than me?

What's more, that thing was burning under the platform under my feet.

Xie Yuan looked at Peng Jie, who looked confident of winning, and snorted:
"Master Peng, you really don't want to let them come together? I'm afraid you'll regret it later."

Seeing that Xie Yuan was still so confident, Peng Jie's eyes changed and he squinted as if he was looking at a dead person:

“I have seen many young talents, but this is the first time I have seen someone as stupid and arrogant as you.

"I can take care of you with just one hand. In a moment, I will make you regret saying that."

"What are you waiting for?"

Xie Yuan chuckled, his eyes suddenly became fierce, he swung the axe in his hand and attacked first.

boom.

Peng Jie used his bare hands to hold up the glowing Moon-Cutting Axe blade.

There was a flash of blood on his palm, and an earthy yellow luster was emitted, and he caught the axe steadily.

Xie Yuan's eyes grew slightly serious. This Peng Jie's Rock Skill was indeed extraordinary. His palms were trained just like weapons, and he was not at a disadvantage even with his bare hands.

Peng Jie was also startled. The power of this axe was greater than he had expected. It seemed that Xie Yuan was indeed quite powerful.

But this alone is not enough.

Peng Jie snorted lightly, slammed the axe blade horizontally with one palm, then rushed forward, and pressed his powerful palms directly into Xie Yuan's chest!

As soon as this palm came out, Xie Yuan felt a strong wind blowing from the stage, blowing towards his face, pressing down on him so hard that he couldn't breathe through his mouth and nose!
What a domineering palm!
Thanks to his higher level of cultivation, the power of this palm is no less than that of the Bagua Mountain-Shaking Fist; if it hits the vital part of the chest, even the Golden Bell Cover would not be able to withstand it.

This palm strike was extremely powerful. Xie Yuan's axe blade was knocked away, and his chest was empty. It seemed that he was instantly at a disadvantage, which made the people in the escort agency in the audience very anxious.

However, Xie Yuan's face was calm and he did not look panicked.

He followed the momentum of the axe blade being knocked open, holding the middle of the axe handle with one hand and the end of the axe handle with the other hand, and held it horizontally. The steel axe handle of Zhan Yue blocked Peng Jie's palms, and even used the force of the axe to counter him, and took advantage of the momentum of the axe blade to block his palms.

With a bang, Peng Jie hit the horizontal axe handle with both palms, but failed to do anything to the weapon made of special material. It only knocked Xie Yuan back three steps, just enough to create some distance between them.

Xie Yuan was well prepared. He was still retreating when he raised the axe with both hands and chopped it down on his head like chopping wood!
The axe whistled fiercely, as if it could split the platform in two. Peng Jie's pupils shrank slightly when he saw the momentum, and he took a step sideways and did not resist.

He was quite fast and dodged a sufficient distance, expecting that Xie Yuan's powerful axe would not be able to stop its momentum and would hit the ground, giving him the opportunity to counterattack; however, for some reason, when Xie Yuan's axe was about to hit the platform, it suddenly drew an unexpected arc, accelerated again, and slashed across!
The axe came so suddenly that Peng Jie had never expected it. How could the axe draw such a line?

He had no time to dodge, so he had to use all his strength, and his palms burst into yellow light to block the axe blade!
With a bang, the two palms were like diamonds, and the axe blade could not hurt the flesh palms; however, the huge power also knocked Peng Jie back, and he almost flew off the platform.

Xie Yuan swung the axe blade, raised it up again, and slammed it heavily on the platform, causing the huge platform to shake.

He laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Sect Master Peng, didn't you just say you would make me regret it? Why did you run to the edge of the stage during the fight? Are you trying to run away?"

Peng Jie had one foot already out of the ring. He looked back with a gloomy expression, snorted heavily, and stepped back to the center of the ring.

The audience on both sides of the stage were stunned, looking at Xie Yuan standing in the center of the ring, as if waiting for Peng Jie's challenge, full of energy.

This scene seemed quite different from what any of them had imagined.

Xiao Xie is so strong?

Everyone in the escort agency came to their senses, looking excited.

In the moves just now, Xie Yuan took complete initiative, anticipated the enemy's moves, predicted Peng Jie's reaction and the development of the situation, and almost forced his opponent into a dead end with a few axes!

What a great fight!
Not only are his moves superb and his judgement accurate, but his axe is also very powerful.

If Peng Jie hadn't been a little bit behind in cultivation, he would have been defeated...

But being able to force Peng Jie to this point with his third level of cultivation, Xie Yuan has already won half the battle!

Xie Yuan watched Peng Jie approaching step by step with a gloomy face. Although he kept mocking the enemy, intending to provoke him to reveal his flaws, he gradually became cautious in his heart.

After just a few moves, he saw that Peng Jie's blood and energy were definitely top-notch among those trained externally and should not be underestimated.

Relying on his exquisite martial arts skills and the changes in the first two of the three-axe move, he gained the advantage in the first round. But looking at Peng Jie's expression, it was obvious that he was going to fight for real this time.

Xie Yuan's fourth level of health-preserving exercise was quietly running, his internal energy was like a small river, rushing faster and faster through his meridians, bringing a sense of fullness.

Peng Jie walked faster and faster, his momentum growing stronger and stronger. When his momentum was about to reach its peak with his last two strides, Xie Yuan suddenly took a step forward and took the initiative to attack.

This was somewhat unexpected for Peng Jie. As he was building up his strength, his opponents, especially those who were weaker than him, should have become increasingly passive.

However, Xie Yuan's Qi sensitivity was so sharp, and the Qi in his chest was so abundant, that he attacked before him!
Peng Jie's eyes darkened. He stopped waiting and rushed forward, throwing a punch that he had built up momentum.

The yellow light on the fist was condensed, like a rock on a peak, indestructible. The leader of the Vajra Sect had already used all his strength in this punch.

The true energy in Xie Yuan's body became turbulent with a bang, and he no longer held back. With the chopping move that he had practiced countless times, he looked down from above and chopped out with an axe!
The collision of fist and axe caused a loud sound of metal clashing, and everyone else in the training hall subconsciously covered their ears.

The two were shocked at the same time and stared at each other in silence for a moment.

Xie Yuan's eyes were filled with excitement and eagerness to try, while Peng Jie's eyes were filled with nothing but surprise.

This move is evenly matched.

If he could take this move, it meant that Xie Yuan could already compete head-on with the top external training masters of the fourth level, so he would not lose this battle.

In Peng Jie's mind, the shock this arrogant young man in front of him brought to him was self-evident. He actually had the strength to fight against him with his cultivation level one level lower.

The two of them paused for only a moment, and suddenly a violent clash broke out.

Xie Yuan held the Moon-Chopping Axe and wielded it, feeling the transformed strength after his internal energy breakthrough, and slashed at the enemy wildly.

Peng Jie had a dark face as he tackled Xie Yuan's axe again and again. Although the axe blade could not break the yellow light in his palm, the great force of the chopping still impacted his whole body, causing him to shake continuously.

Xie Yuan was also suffering from the recoil, but his internal health-preserving skills were running at full speed, dissolving the external force, and his breath was long and he was not affected at all.

As one gained strength while the other lost, the gap between their conditions became increasingly larger.

After being knocked back three steps by Xie Yuan's axe again, Peng Jie stopped for a moment and said through gritted teeth:

"You, you're not poisoned?"

"Haha, isn't this the only trick you have for the Vajra Sect? I already knew it."

Xie Yuan smiled, and slammed the axe blade into the ground, creating a hole in the platform, revealing the black plaster burning underneath.

Seeing this, Peng Jie finally made up his mind and shouted at the door:
"Come up together and get rid of him first!"

He completely forgot what he had said before the battle.

Everyone in the escort agency who was still conscious was extremely excited.

I didn't expect that Xie Yuan could actually fight with Peng Jie, and not just fight, but completely suppress him!
Peng Jie easily defeated two fourth-trained escort leaders of the escort agency, but it seemed that he was no match for Xie Yuan at all!
However, just as they were rejoicing, they did not expect that Peng Jie had completely lost his shamelessness and directly challenged the remaining three practitioners of the Vajra Sect to fight three against one!

"Shameless! Despicable!"

It's all over now. The opponents are completely shameless. Three against one. No matter how strong Xie Yuan is, how can two fists fight against six hands?

They cursed out loud, but as they were so weak from the poison, their voices were as soft as mosquitoes and could not be heard on the stage.

Even if he heard it, Peng Jie remained indifferent. In his eyes, killing Xie Yuan and completely solving this problem was more important than killing everyone in the audience.

He was already a little scared.

Xie Yuan turned his head slightly and saw two Vajra Sect Level 3 instructors jumping up from behind. Together with Peng Jie, the three of them formed a tripod and surrounded him in the middle.

He looked at Peng Jie and sneered:
"I told you to bring people with you, but you didn't listen. Do you regret it?"

Peng Jie remained unmoved. He no longer cared about any ridicule.

As long as all the people from Longteng Escort Agency are killed here today, the winner will naturally have the final say in the competition.

Xie Yuan saw the three men gradually narrowing the encirclement and the siege was about to break out, but his face remained calm.

He continued to smile and said to Peng Jie in front of him:

"Do you know why you died?"

what?
Peng Jie frowned, but saw Xie Yuan's axe suddenly raised, and then instantly drew a cold lightning-like line.

He subconsciously raised his palm to block it, and an ochre-colored light suddenly burst out.

However, this time, it couldn't be stopped.

How come this axe is so fast? How come it is so powerful?
Peng Jie lowered his head and looked at the thin line of blood on his hand. He then watched the blood spread to his chest and finally realized something.

It turns out that he still has a hidden trick...

He looked up at Xie Yuan and saw the two instructors shouting loudly and hitting Xie Yuan on the back with their sticks, but they couldn't even make him bend down. His vision was already blurring.

"Because your head is full of conspiracies and schemes, you have long lost the spirit of a warrior. When it comes to fighting, you will only call for help, thinking that this will give you confidence, but it makes you careless.

"Without the heart of a warrior, the only way out is death."

Xie Yuan shook his head and looked at Peng Jie's face, which was filled with sudden realization, annoyance, unwillingness and remorse. Blood spurted out of his chest and he slowly fell to the ground.
