Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 516 A trivial trick
"what!!!"

Gu Jinfu stared at the severed wound on his wrist, from which blood was gushing out like a spring, and his painful screams pierced the silent night sky.

He never imagined that there could be someone in this world whose physical body was so incredibly tough!
His Xuan Tie brass knuckles were meticulously crafted, incredibly sharp killing weapons, with their three-edged wolf teeth concealing deadly intent.

But now, facing Liang Jin, it was like throwing an egg against a rock. Not only did he fail to harm Liang Jin in the slightest, but his own hand was instantly destroyed, with broken bones and flesh flying everywhere.

At this time.

Liang Jin's Dragon Claw, imbued with immense power, continued its relentless attack, relentlessly slashing towards him.

Gu Jinfu's heart pounded violently, and fear overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

Just at this critical moment, an unexpected change occurred.

Behind Liang Jin, a woman's figure suddenly appeared like a ghost.

At the same time, two seemingly slender fingers, yet exuding a deadly chill, suddenly shot out like the tongue of a venomous snake.

The fingernails on her fingers, carefully refined with balsam juice, were a vibrant, luscious crimson color, shimmering eerily in the moonlight.

These fingers look delicate and graceful.

However, the moves he used were exceptionally vulgar, insidious, and despicable.

Because those two fingers were aimed directly at the man's vital spot between Liang Jin's legs!

The ruthlessness of their moves is chilling.

The one who made the move was none other than Canxin.

Her finger techniques and grappling skills had long been honed to perfection, and this move, "Green Maiden Tearing Frost," was a killing move she had meticulously researched specifically to counter male martial artists.

However, Liang Jin had already noticed.

Feeling the threat coming from behind, Liang Jin abandoned Gu Jinfu without hesitation, turned around quickly, and struck out with a palm.

"Mysterious Ice Palm!"

This palm strike was a technique he had acquired by chance from the Great Snow Mountain Sect.

Although it is only a Xuan-level palm technique, its power is not outstanding among many profound martial arts.

However, its unique freezing effect proved extremely useful at this moment, becoming a powerful weapon against the highly skilled Canxin.

As Liang Jin's palm strike whistled through the air, Can Xin felt a bone-chilling coldness surge like a tidal wave, as if it would freeze her entire body in the cold night.

Her blood seemed to freeze, and every inch of her skin trembled slightly under the onslaught of the chill.

What terrified her most was that a layer of crystal-clear ice crystals quickly condensed around her body. These ice crystals were like countless cold hands, trying to lock her firmly inside, forming an indestructible icy prison.

However, Canxin was no ordinary person either, and he had made thorough preparations long before he made his move.

As soon as the chill set in, she swiftly retreated like a nimble cat.

In the blink of an eye, Canxin, relying on his superb lightness skill, had already ghost-like dodged to a distance.

She knew very well that she hadn't expected her move, "Green Maiden Tearing Frost," to directly hit Liang Jin.

Its real purpose was to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao, thus freeing Gu Jinfu from his predicament.

While retreating rapidly, Canxin shouted a reminder:

"Everyone be careful! He has skin and bones of copper and iron, and his external martial arts have reached the pinnacle!"

We need to attack his lower body weakness!

Canxin had a brief encounter with Liang Jin on Shenlu Peak.

Although it was only a single move, it broke two of her fingernails and gave her a profound understanding of Liang Jin's extremely high level of defense.

However, Canxin had absolute confidence in his lightness skill.

She believed that with her unparalleled lightness skill, she could move nimbly around Liang Jin, waiting for an opportunity to strike and find his weakness to deliver a fatal blow.

Sudden.

"call--!!!"

Without warning, a fierce wind arose all around, howling and swirling sand and stones as if countless ferocious beasts were roaring.

"Can you escape?!"

Liang Jin's voice rang out in the wind like a resounding bell.

He was in the wind, yet he appeared before Canxin almost instantly.

His Divine Dragon Arm, like a cannonball, slammed into Canxin with terrifying power.

"what?!"

"Such incredible lightness skill?!"

Canxin looked horrified, her eyes wide with disbelief.

She never imagined that Liang Jin's lightness skill was so high and his speed so fast that she felt like she had nowhere to escape from him.

But Canxin was, after all, a master who had experienced countless life-and-death trials, and remained calm despite his shock.

Because... she had already seen a figure appear behind Liang Jin!
Those are the Xuanluan Guards!
The Xuanluan Guard was like an invincible war god returning from the battlefield, exuding a chilling aura.

As she rushed over, she had already gripped the goose-feather knife tightly in her hand.

The blade gleamed with a cold light, extremely eerie.

The blade energy raged wildly, as if it wanted to cut the surrounding air into countless fragments.

Just as Liang Jin was about to unleash his attack on Canxin, the Xuanluan Guard's goose-feather blade, carrying a sharp aura, fiercely slashed towards the back of Liang Jin's head.

Despite Liang Jin's copper skin and iron bones, it was extremely difficult to harm him in the slightest.

However, Xuanluanwei firmly believed that Liang Jin's brain was still his weakest point.

The Xuanluan Guards were originally fierce generals on the battlefield, who fought countless battles throughout their lives.

She encountered many enemy generals clad in fine armor, impervious to swords and spears, as well as masters of martial arts with superb skills, who were difficult to cut with swords and axes.

But in the end, all of these people fell to her blade.

Because she possesses a high-level martial art called "Tiger's Armor-Piercing Strength," which is specifically designed to break through a person's defenses.

"Tiger's Armor-Piercing Force" allows her invisible energy to arrive before the blade, specifically targeting hard martial arts. Her internal force is like an iron spike used to siege a city, capable of penetrating the skin and shattering the membrane.

And her strike was called "Mountain-Shaking Slash"!
The blade strikes like towering mountains and crashing waves, its power so great that when it strikes a person, the shockwave penetrates the body, causing internal organs to resonate and rupture.

She perfectly combined the "Tiger's Armor-Piercing Strength" and the "Mountain-Shaking Slash," which was specifically designed to counter a master of hard-style kung fu like Liang Jin.

If Xuanluan Guard's blade strikes Liang Jin's head from the back, it will instantly turn Liang Jin's brain into mush, killing him instantly.

"Shh!"

In a flash of light, the goose-feather blade was about to strike down fiercely.

But to everyone's surprise, Liang Jin didn't even turn his head, only letting out a cold snort:
"Little tricks!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a bizarre scene unfolded!

Suddenly, the Kui arm on Liang Jin's chest, like a nimble black python, retracted into Liang Jin's chest.

next moment.

The Kui arm, like a demonic hand reaching out from hell, suddenly emerged from Liang Jin's back and firmly grasped the Xuanluan Guard's goose-feather blade.

“Bang!!!”

A deafening, violent impact resounded, like a thunderclap exploding from the ground.

The goose-feather blade was as if it had struck an incomparably hard piece of black iron, unable to penetrate even an inch.

The palm of the Kui Arm was completely undamaged, without even a scratch.

Upon seeing this, Xuanluanwei's pupils contracted sharply, her eyes filled with shock and fear.

In her life of fighting and enduring countless life-or-death trials, she had never seen such a bizarre situation.

A strong sense of unease welled up inside me, as if I were facing not a human being, but a demon god from hell.

However, what terrified the Xuanluan Guards even more was yet to come.

Kui Arm gripped the goose-feather saber and twisted it sharply. With a "crack," the saber was easily twisted into a contorted shape, like a fragile twisted rope.

Xuanluan Guard was greatly alarmed, knowing that the situation was critical. He immediately abandoned his goose-feather blade and quickly retreated.

the other side.

Liang Jin's Divine Dragon Arm, however, carried an overwhelming force, and punched Canxin squarely.

"Bang!!!"

With a dull thud, Canxin was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string by the punch.

She flew through the air in an arc and crashed heavily to the ground some distance away, even creating a deep crater in the ground.

Canxin felt as if her internal organs had shifted, and the excruciating pain almost made her faint.

She had just struggled to sit up from the ground when her expression suddenly changed.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood gushed uncontrollably from her mouth, splattering onto the ground in a crimson stain, clearly indicating internal injuries.

Then, enduring the excruciating pain, she trembled as she pulled open her clothes and peered inside.

Her inner armor was tattered and riddled with holes.

If it weren't for the armor made by the machine door that withstood Liang Jin's fierce punch, she would probably be suffering from more than just internal injuries.

After blasting away the remnant heart, Liang Jin turned around without hesitation, his claws flashing with fierce power as he grabbed at the Xuanluan Guard: "Your turn!"

Xuanluan Guard was terrified, his heart pounding in his chest, and he hurriedly prepared to defend himself against Liang Jin's claws.

But to everyone's surprise, the Kui arm on Liang Jin's back suddenly retracted into Liang Jin's body like lightning, and then suddenly grabbed out from Liang Jin's chest.

The Xuanluan Guards were instantly stunned.

All the enemies she had fought in her life had only two hands; this was the first time she had ever faced an enemy with three hands.

Moreover, this third hand was strange and unpredictable, and extremely evil, completely beyond her comprehension and ability to cope.

So much so that the Xuanluan Guards couldn't react at all and could only watch helplessly as the Kui arm, carrying the aura of death, reached out to grab them.

As the Kui arm lashed out, a surge of black internal energy, like an invisible claw, pierced the Xuanluan Guard's body.

"Bang!!!"

The Xuanluan Guards were sent flying backwards once again, like kites with broken strings.

The moment she was hit, the ground exploded, sending dust flying.

This is precisely the effect of the Xuanluan Guard's low-level life-saving martial art, "Qiwu Yin".

"Qiwu Yin" can instantly redirect the power one receives to other parts of the body, minimizing the damage suffered.

It was precisely because of this life-saving technique that the Xuanluan Guards did not suffer fatal injuries.

After being blasted away, she tried to stand up as she landed, but her knees buckled and she knelt on one knee, a trickle of bright red blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

Even with a life-saving technique like "Qi Wu Yin," the power of the Kui Arm strike was simply too terrifying, so much so that even the remaining power after being channeled could injure the Xuan Luan Guard.

With everyone disengaged, the battle temporarily ceased.

Those watching from afar were deeply disturbed by this scene.

Liang Jin fought against four opponents single-handedly, and not only did he not show any signs of defeat, but he also gained the upper hand!
After a brief exchange, Liang Jin had already repelled the four men and injured them!

This result shocked and stunned everyone.

Upon seeing this, Shen Cangming was both surprised and delighted. His eyes shone with excitement, as if he had seen the hope of the Youhuan Clan:

"The gods still favor our people, and our people have hope of revenge! We will surely avenge that blood feud!"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and his hands were clenched tightly, as if he could already see the day when the Youhuan Clan would rise again.

Wen Hengrong stared intently at Liang Jin with her beautiful eyes, which couldn't help but sparkle with admiration.

When she chose to stand on Liang Jin's side, she was prepared to be killed by the court's experts along with Liang Jin.

But to her surprise, Liang Jin's strength far exceeded her expectations!

Who doesn't yearn for a powerful backer?

And this new backer is stronger and more reliable than any of Wen Hengrong's previous backers!
Her eyes were filled with admiration and expectation as she looked at Liang Jin, as if she saw the hope for her future.

far away.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xiling spat out the foxtail grass in her mouth and abruptly stood up from the ground.

A hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in her eyes. She had thought the battle would be one-sided, but she hadn't expected Liang Jin to be so powerful.

As for Ding Feng and Cao Xian beside her, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their bodies chilled to the bone.

Ding Feng and Cao Xian never expected that, just over a month after the battle in Qingzhou City, Liang Jin would have improved his strength to such a terrifying level.

It's just... so terrifying!
in situ.

Liang Jin stood proudly, like a majestic mountain peak, unshakable.

His eyes slowly swept over Zhao Bao, Gu Jinfu, Xuan Luanwei, and Canxin, his gaze filled with disdain and mockery:

"Four useless people, what a disappointment. None of them can compare to Jiang Duanchao."

"With your meager abilities, you think you can make me surrender?"

"It's ridiculous!"

Liang Jin's words were like a sharp knife, ruthlessly shattering the self-esteem of the four men.

Their faces flushed red and then turned pale, their hearts filled with anger and resentment, yet they were unable to refute it.

I originally thought that with four third-rank masters joining forces, and with the idea that even a lion would use its full strength to hunt a rabbit, they would be able to easily defeat Liang Jin.

But once the fight started, everyone realized that Liang Jin was far more terrifying than they had imagined!
They could only grit their teeth and desperately stuff healing pills into their mouths, trying to stabilize their injuries and reverse their decline.

"magic……"

Gu Jinfu stared blankly at Liang Jin, whose body was covered in strange markings, whose eyes were red, and whose body had three arms. For no reason, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to his heart, as if an invisible, cold hand was tightly gripping his heart.

He is no longer human! He is a demon!

"If this demon is not eliminated, a great calamity will surely befall the Great Qian Dynasty!"

His voice even trembled slightly.

No one refuted this statement. At this moment, in everyone's eyes, Liang Jin was indeed no different from a demon.

The immense power and bizarre form he displayed sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Canxin frowned and said:
"Everyone, if you have any hidden skills, don't hold back, just bring them all out."

"We're in good shape, we can fight him one more time!"

"If we still can't win this time, then we're all going to die!"

Her eyes held a resolute glint, knowing full well that this was a critical moment of life and death, and only by fighting with all her might could she have a chance of survival.

Everyone nodded in agreement, except for Zhao Bao, whose eyes flickered as he seemed to be plotting something.

They all understood that if they could not work together in the next battle, they would surely be defeated.

This is their only chance!
Yes, they still have a chance!
After all, Liang Jin was only a third-rank martial artist, not a second-rank one.

Since they are martial artists of the same level, they still have a chance of winning by virtue of their numerical advantage!

The four quickly regrouped. Although they were injured, the injuries were not serious for seasoned warriors, and they were still able to fight.

Their eyes blazed with renewed fighting spirit, ready to face the next round of battle.

at this time.

Suddenly a voice rang out:
"stop!"

The sound was clear and loud, and no one could ignore it.

Because the speaker was Zhao Xiling!

Zhao Xiling walked slowly with her hands behind her back and elegant steps, a faint smile on her face, as if everything was under her control.

She spoke:
"Alright, stop fighting."

"Everyone should focus on their business and not let minor conflicts cause a rift."

"Stop spouting nonsense about the Great Teacher of Virtue being a remnant of the Youhuan Clan. Has he ever admitted it himself? You're just throwing all sorts of accusations at him."

"Great Teacher, don't be so impulsive. You have been wronged, and I can help you get justice!"

Zhao Xiling attempted to use her identity and words to quell the fierce battle and turn hostility into friendship.

Zhao Xiling tried to mediate, and Gu Jinfu and the other four imperial experts could only suppress their fighting spirit for the time being. They lowered their heads slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in their eyes.

How could things possibly end so simply?

really.

Liang Jin stood there, a cold laugh escaping his lips, a laugh filled with sarcasm and disdain:

"Princess, you didn't call for a stop before the fight started, but now that I've gained the upper hand, you're the one calling for a stop?"

“You used a Heaven-level secret manual to make me stop before on Divine Deer Peak.”

"What else can you use this time?"

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight at Zhao Xiling and mercilessly exposing her hypocrisy.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiling showed no embarrassment whatsoever. She maintained her elegant demeanor, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said:
“If it weren’t for the dramatic changes at Burial Dragon Ridge, we would have already obtained the Heavenly-level secret manual. You can’t wrong me about this.”

“Great and wise teacher, since you have a way to solve the illusion in that cave, we will need your help again next time we come to retrieve the Heavenly Rank manual.”

"Isn't the conflict just because of the remnants of the Youhuan Clan? I will resolve this conflict."

"After we leave the mountains, I have many important responsibilities to entrust to you."

Zhao Xiling was hoping that a few words would allow both sides to put aside their hatred and cooperate again.

Liang Jin laughed, a smile tinged with sarcasm.

The princess remains the same—selfish and self-serving, as if everyone in the world should obey her every command.

How annoying!
How could he possibly allow Zhao Xiling to successfully repeat her old tricks?

Liang Jin took a step and walked towards Zhao Xiling step by step, each step steady and firm.

Upon seeing this, Gu Jinfu and the other three experts hurriedly and vigilantly shielded Zhao Xiling behind them, their eyes filled with wariness.

Liang Jin said as he walked:
"Princess, the Heavenly-level secret manual of Burial Dragon Ridge is nothing but nonsense. Why do you still use it to deceive people?"

Upon hearing this, the three martial artists, apart from Zhao Bao, couldn't help but show expressions of doubt.

Could it be true, as Liang Jin said, that there are no Heaven-level secret manuals?
Was all of this a lie told by Zhao Xiling?

Their hearts were filled with questions, and their gazes toward Zhao Xiling held a hint of suspicion.
