After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 345 Breakthrough
Faced with the big man's question, Black Moon Old Man snapped out of his thoughts.

Those two punches had confirmed that the big man in front of him couldn't kill him, so he no longer needed to be afraid of him.

"You uncouth scoundrel, I originally intended to discuss this with you in a peaceful manner, but I did not expect you to be so stubborn and insist on forcing me to reveal my true abilities."

The Black Moon Elder, pulled from the deep pit shaped like a human figure, stood in mid-air, his aged face now filled with solemnity.

He placed one hand behind his back and looked at the burly man with an inscrutable expression, saying:
"To tell you the truth, I have been practicing my external martial arts for fifty years. You, a mere brute, could not possibly break through my defenses."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in the muscular man's eyes.

Although the old man in front of me looked frail and weak, and his martial arts skills were not as good as mine, those two punches just now proved that he had a very strong defensive skill.

However, the burly man was not intimidated by the Black Moon Elder's words. He narrowed his eyes and said:
"Old man, practicing external martial arts requires sufficient qi and blood. I want to see how many punches you, with your old bones, can withstand."

As soon as he finished speaking, the big man vanished from his spot without warning, and the next moment he appeared in front of the Black Moon Old Man, suddenly smashing a punch down on his head.

Clearly, the Great Han was determined to break through the Black Moon Elder's defenses.

Immediately afterwards, Black Moon Old Man was blasted away with a punch, just like before.

And just like before, he was completely unharmed.

Seeing this, the shirtless man was slightly out of breath, but he was not discouraged.

Then came a barrage of punches, relentlessly striking Black Moon Old Man's head, heart, neck, groin, and other vulnerable spots without any pause.

Throughout the main hall of the two-story tower, the Black Moon Elder flew around like a kite with a broken string, leaving one human-shaped pit after another on the surrounding iron walls.

After about twenty punches, the muscular man suddenly stopped. He was covered in sweat, panting heavily, and his internal energy was disordered, indicating that he was close to exhaustion.

However, he looked up.

But then, the Black Moon Old Man pulled himself out of the human-shaped pit, and then his withered old face looked extremely ugly as he cast his gaze at the big man.

Black Moon Old Man was, after all, a renowned master in the martial arts world. Although the big man couldn't kill him, he was beaten up like a punching bag.

They even used underhanded tactics to attack his private parts. How could an elderly man like him endure such humiliation?
"You crude and uncouth brute, are you tired of fighting now? It's time for this old man to make his move!"

Black Moon Old Man's face was gloomy and full of murderous intent. Without saying a word, he launched a counterattack.

Soon, the two clashed again, but Black Moon Old Man's martial arts skills were still weaker than the Great Han's. Although his defense was invincible, he could not do anything to his opponent for the time being.

"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore. Go find whatever you want here."

At this moment, the muscular man raised his hand and conceded defeat, then stepped back.

The old bastard Black Moon Shadow Elder was just too tough to beat; he was completely unable to take any more blows from him.

Upon hearing this, the previously furious Black Moon Elder gradually calmed down and remembered his purpose in coming here.

For a moment, the expression in his eyes changed rapidly, but he eventually stopped.

After his encounter with the big man, he naturally understood the power of the martial arts energy that Li Musheng had left in his body.

This also made him realize that Li Musheng, that seemingly immature young man, was actually far more powerful than he had guessed.

After all, a mere wisp of martial arts energy was enough to render the burly man with terrifying brute strength helpless. One can only imagine how terrifying it would be if Li Musheng were to personally unleash his full power!

"Never mind, it's more important to take care of business first." The Black Moon Old Man's mind raced. Besides the intimidation of Li Musheng's strength, he also held a sliver of hope that Li Musheng could cure the strange poison in his body.

"Do you have a Taoist nun imprisoned here?"

Black Moon Old Man stood in mid-air and asked the big man in a deep voice.

The muscular man wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking somewhat weak, and said:

"I'm all alone. Why would I be imprisoning anyone else? You should look somewhere else."

Upon hearing this, the Black Moon Elder snorted coldly, and then moved to search all the small halls on the second floor of the Xuanji Palace.

However, just as the Great Han said, there was indeed no one else present.

Seeing that he hadn't found anyone, Black Moon Old Man didn't plan to stay any longer and prepared to go upstairs again.

But before he left, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly stopped and spoke to the big man:

"And another thing, you crude and uncouth brute, you're not allowed to tinker with those broken clocks anymore!"

Upon hearing this, the burly man waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"Don't worry, sir, we won't do it again."

As he spoke, his tiger-like eyes darted around, and he continued:
"I admire your physical strength greatly, sir. I wonder if I can learn more from you in the future?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Moon Elder spat and said:
"You too?"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and went upstairs.

The big man showed no anger at this. He had devoted his life to tempering his body, and had almost gone to the point of demonic possession in this pursuit.

Therefore, he felt a sense of admiration and envy for the seemingly invincible Black Moon Elder.

"Judging from the old man's appearance, it seems he's going up to find someone. I wonder how many floors he can carry up?"

The burly man watched the departing figure of the Black Moon Elder, his expression shifting slightly. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he moved swiftly towards the entrance passage to the third floor.

He wanted to see for himself the limits of Black Moon Old Man's external martial arts skills. Could those experts upstairs, who were more powerful than him, break through his defenses?

Meanwhile, after his entanglement with the big man, Black Moon Old Man understood that if he were to fight those experts upstairs, he would be unable to defeat them, and they would be unable to defeat him either; it would only be a waste of his time.

In this case, it would be difficult to fulfill Li Musheng's request.

Therefore, he changed his approach and came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.

……

"You mean you're going to stand still and take three of my slaps?"

On the third floor of the Mysterious Palace stood a middle-aged man with a square face and carrying an iron sword. At this moment, however, he was looking at the arriving Black Moon Old Man with a strange gaze.

"That's right. If I can withstand three of your blows, I would be grateful if you could grant me permission to find someone here."

Black Moon Old Man stood with his hands behind his back, slightly straightening his hunched body, looking at the middle-aged swordsman opposite him with great composure.
