The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 74 Anyway
When Mao Yingxia finally finished reciting the obscure incantation, Li Miao had already approached within ten feet behind her.

Li Miao pointed out.

The sharp true energy shot towards Mao Yingxia's chest like an arrow.

It was the Ming Cult's unique martial art "Xuantian Finger", and it was also the martial art that Lan Lechuan used to test Li Miao that day.

After all, Mao Yingxia was a top descendant of the Ming Cult. When she heard the sharp scream behind her, she was shocked that Li Miao actually knew the Ming Cult's unique skills, but she reacted instinctively.

The true energy surged under her feet, and she suddenly exerted force to turn sideways, raised her left hand, and attacked with a "Xuantian Finger"!
Bang!
There was a muffled sound in the air, blood splattered, and Mao Yingxia covered her left shoulder with her hands, her arms hanging down limply.

The difference between the top and the bottom is like the difference between heaven and earth. Mao Yingxia's "Xuantian Finger" was shattered in mid-air, and the remaining sharp energy was only slightly deflected, leaving a thumb-sized hole in her shoulder.

The wound directly broke her collarbone in two, and the left half of her body could hardly move. Mao Yingxia groaned, raised her right hand and tapped her left shoulder several times, barely stopping the bleeding.

When he looked up again, Li Miao was already very close.

The "Xuantian Finger" that Li Miao used was the same as the tile that was hit when he was chasing You Ziang.

You can block or take this attack. As long as the flow of your vital energy stops for a moment, I will be able to get close to you.

Li Miao clenched his fists, and the gloves woven with natural silk made a sound of almost breaking. He crossed his waist, and the raging true energy blew away the surrounding smoke and dust.

Bang!
Li Miao stomped the ground with his left foot, causing gravel to fly and explode with a loud bang!
Raise your fists at your waist.

One punch!
It seems that apart from the huge noise, it is actually the same as the "marching punch" that children do when laying the foundation.

This boxing technique looked ordinary, but Mao Yingxia looked frightened.

She recognized this style of boxing—“horizontal and vertical punch”!
Yes, this boxing style is called this name, rustic and simple. Just like the name, this boxing style only has two moves, one horizontal and one vertical, nothing special.

But it is a well-known magical skill in the world!

According to legend, more than a hundred years ago, there was a young man with an exceptionally good physique but a simple and honest mind. He had very poor comprehension and had difficulty getting started with most martial arts. The only thing he learned was one basic boxing technique, which he learned quite well.

After several years of meticulous training by his master, the boy still could not master the sect's martial arts. Gradually, the sect stopped paying attention to him.

Until the young man was thirty years old, he still practiced this foundation boxing method day after day in the sect, in the cold winter and hot summer, without a single slack. And the foundation boxing method originally had dozens of moves, but after twenty years, only two moves remained - one horizontal and one vertical - .

The disciples in this sect often made sarcastic remarks to him, but he just chuckled and didn't care. He still practiced this boxing style which only had two moves, move by move, with great seriousness.

Until one day, the sect suffered a catastrophic disaster, and the masters of the sect were killed in a battle. The enemy came to the sect and wanted to destroy the sect's inheritance and kill all the disciples.

No one in the sect could resist anymore, and the disciples fell into despair and could only close their eyes and wait for death.

At this moment, the young man who had practiced basic boxing for twenty years stood up.

With a thrust, he smashed his enemy's head into his chest.

With one blow, dozens of people flew backwards and landed silently.

It was not until then that the fellow disciples realized that the two moves that appeared in front of them every day like country tactical moves were so restrained and profound.

From then on, the young man took over the inheritance of the sect and became the most famous person in the martial arts world. At the age of fifty, he even surpassed the contemporary head of Wudang and became the leader of the Central Plains martial arts world.

Unfortunately, after his death, no one in the sect could perform this boxing style with the same charm as him. Over time, the sect declined, and the once famous "horizontal and vertical boxing" was also lost and disappeared.

He appeared again at this time, but attacked Mao Yingxia!
His charm is restrained and heavy as if it were from heaven, and he has mastered the essence of this boxing style.

Mao Yingxia raised his palm and a Qi hand seal flew out from his body to meet Li Miao's punch.

It shattered with a sound!

"Mysterious Heaven Finger"! "Great Nine Heavens Hand"! "Ice Palm"!
"Bone-penetrating needle"! "Cold wind knife"!
Mao Yingxia used countless unique skills of the Ming Cult and poured them into this punch as if they were free. However, they were like bubbles, shattered in mid-air, and could not shake it in the slightest!

This "horizontal and vertical punch" is like this, not fast. Even though it was performed by Li Miao, Mao Yingxia could see it clearly. It could even be said to be slow.

But it can't be stopped.

Suddenly, Mao Yingxia's expression relaxed.

Then, the mantra she recited finally took effect.

The wind suddenly blew up, and several wild animal-like roars were heard nearby. Several humanoid figures rushed over, blocking between Mao Yingxia and Li Miao, and their sharp claws grabbed Li Miao's body.

Bang!
wow-

The limbs were broken, and the human figures were suddenly knocked flying, and blood as black and sticky as oil splattered everywhere.

Li Miao's punch still hit Mao Yingxia's shoulder.

"puff--"

Mao Yingxia vomited blood and flew backwards, his right shoulder turned into a pile of minced meat.

But she survived after all, but she just collapsed on the ground, unable to move.

However, at this distance, it would only take a moment for Li Miao to kill her.

Li Miao did not take any action, but stopped and looked around.

Around him, hundreds of figures stood, roaring and panting, ready to make a move.

Li Miao finally spoke the first sentence: "You Ming Cult members have really made great use of the Gu worms."

"You haven't been hiding in Miaojiang all these years, have you?"

"Cough... cough..." Mao Yingxia coughed several times and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"It was my fault that I was not well prepared. I didn't realize that there was a person like you hidden in the court."

"But how did you manage to master both skills and still survive..."

Li Miao said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this. I cultivated it myself. It has nothing to do with the court."

"I was bored staying in Shuntian Prefecture, so I went out to relax. I happened to run into you beasts, so I came here to kill you."

Hearing Li Miao's casual words, Mao Yingxia's face flushed red, and she was so angry that her blood rushed up and she vomited blood again.

"Hehe...hehe..."

"You, just be arrogant."

"You can't kill me."

Mao Yingxia said with all her might: "These around here are the 500 "Gu Soldiers" accumulated by my Holy Church..."

"The mother Gu is in my body. Once I die, these Gu soldiers will have no more restrictions and will go out in search of meat."

"Don't think about killing me and taking the Gu from me... The Qi is connected to me, and as long as the blood supply is cut off for a moment, the mother Gu will die with me immediately..."

"No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you can't kill them all before they reach the surrounding villages and towns..."

"Right now, you only have one choice..."

Mao Yingxia said coldly: "These Gu soldiers are extremely powerful and can hardly be injured by swords and knives..."

"You can kill fifty, kill a hundred, but you are not 'Xumi' after all, your energy is limited..."

"Come on! Kill them... Let's see whether you kill all the Gu soldiers first or your Qi runs out first..."

“Haha…hahahahahaha…cough cough…”

Li Miao turned to look at Mao Yingxia: "Has anyone ever told you that you talk a lot?"

"I was going to kill all of you beasts anyway. So I'll leave you to die last."

After saying that, he raised his hand and struck out with the "Xuantian Finger", shattering Mao Yingxia's hip bone and destroying her ability to escape.

Then, amidst the sudden miserable howl of Mao Yingxia, he slowly walked towards the approaching Gu soldiers.
