Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 164 Cheng Kun's Surprise Attack, Flying Sword Arrives
Yang Xiao's eyes were arrogant, and his invisible true energy surged around him. He blocked the combined attack of the five scattered men with a single palm strike, his expression relaxed and extremely arrogant.

"Now, I'll ask you one more time: do you submit or not?!"

The five wandering warriors were shocked, never expecting that Yang Xiao's cultivation had improved so much in the past ten years.

But Zhou Dian still stubbornly insisted, roaring, "I'll never submit to your bullshit!"

"If King Wei hadn't yet returned, how could you, Yang Xiao, be here showing off your power!"

Zhou Dian knew that his martial arts skills were indeed not enough to qualify him for the position of sect leader, but he acknowledged the Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao.

Compared to Yang Xiao, Zhou Dian preferred to let Wei Yixiao take control of the Ming Cult.

"Hahaha, Wei Yixiao? Even if Wei Yixiao were here, all six of you together wouldn't be a match for me, Yang Xiao!"

Yang Xiao laughed loudly. His martial arts skills were already superior to Wei Yixiao's, and now he had even mastered the second level of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.

Naturally, he was not afraid of Wei Yixiao.

This reflects confidence in one's own abilities.

"Yang Xiao, you are far too arrogant!"

At this moment, a figure in cyan suddenly shot out from outside the main hall, like a black lightning bolt, extremely fast, making it difficult to see the specific figure.

But the voice of the newcomer made Yang Xiao's eyes narrow slightly in the main hall. He knew that Wei Yixiao had really come.

"I'd like to see just what abilities you, Yang Xiao, have that dare to utter such arrogant words!"

Before Wei Yi's joke had even completely faded, a palm strike containing extremely cold energy pressed down on Yang Xiao's face.

"Humph!"

Yang Xiao snorted coldly, showing no sign of panic on his face. He waved his other hand, channeling his powerful internal energy, and directly met Wei Yixiao's icy palm head-on!

The two palms collided, but did not immediately separate. Instead, they remained pressed together, their palm forces still intertwined and difficult to separate.

"Cold! So cold!"

"This is the Frost Palm of the Bat King!"

The five wandering men's expressions all changed as an extremely cold palm force emanated from Yang Xiao's palm, engulfing their entire bodies.

"The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth! You actually mastered this divine skill!" Wei Yixiao exclaimed in surprise, immediately recognizing the technique Yang Xiao had used.

"Hahaha, what do you think, Wei Yixiao? Do I, Yang Xiao, have the qualifications to sit in this position of sect leader?"

Yang Xiao had a smug look on his face. With the Great Shift of the Universe, he was able to deal with the Five Wanderers and Wei Yixiao, a top-notch master, with ease.

"Not enough!" Wei Yixiao sneered.

Yang Xiao's expression froze. He had already displayed such strength, yet he still couldn't subdue Wei Yixiao?
"Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson before you'll submit to me!"

Yang Xiao's expression turned cold. As soon as he finished speaking, his inner energy was activated once again, and he brought the power of the Qiankun Great Shift technique to its maximum.

In an instant, the frequency of attacks between Wei Yixiao and the five scattered people increased even more rapidly.

If this continues, the six people will inevitably be injured by their own power.

Just as Yang Xiao was about to continue using force to subdue the six people, a figure suddenly shot out from the side door of the main hall and appeared directly behind Yang Xiao.

The figure unleashed a torrent of internal energy, and with a flick of his fingers, a chilling and venomous force struck Yang Xiao's back at lightning speed!

boom! boom! boom!
Yang Xiao's expression changed drastically. His meridians and even his internal organs were severely injured by that finger force. Wei Yixiao and the Five Wanderers, who were fighting him, were also injured by this finger force.

All seven were sent flying and crashed to the ground.

puff!puff!puff!
Everyone was unable to suppress the blood welling up in their throats and vomited it all over the ground.

"Such vicious and chilling finger strength!"

"Who are you?!"

"How could Shaolin Temple have such kung fu!"

Yang Xiao and the others slowly sat up, their faces ashen, staring at the figure that had launched the sneak attack on them.

The man, dressed in a Shaolin kasaya, bowed slightly to Yang Xiao and the others, and smiled:

“Amitabha, I am Yuanzhen, a disciple of the Venerable Monk Kongjian, and I greet you all benefactors.”

"Bah! Master Kongjian is a renowned monk in the martial arts world. How could he possibly have a disciple like you who resorts to sneak attacks!"

Wei Yixiao spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his face full of disbelief.

"Hehe, because I am not only Yuanzhen, but also Chengkun, the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand!"

Cheng Kun smiled, looking at Yang Xiao and the others who had been severely injured by him. He shook his head, unable to contain his excitement: "I really didn't expect that you would still have the energy to fight amongst yourselves when facing a formidable enemy."

This has truly presented me with a golden opportunity! The Ming Cult deserves to be destroyed by my own hands today!

He never expected that after sneaking into Bright Peak through the Ming Cult's secret passage, he would encounter Yang Xiao and others fighting amongst themselves.

How could Cheng Kun possibly let such an opportunity slip by?

"That despicable bald monk only dares to plot against us, he has no ability to fight us head-on!" Zhou Dian said with a face full of resentment.

"Tsk tsk tsk, curse all you want, you're all going to die by my hand anyway!"

A murderous glint appeared in Cheng Kun's eyes. He raised his palm and approached Yang Xiao and the others step by step.

He wouldn't give these guys a chance to recover; today is their death day!

When Yang Xiao and the others saw that Cheng Kun was about to make a move, their expressions changed, and they were ready to fight to the death.

A sword light, like a thunderbolt, arrived from outside the main hall. Its speed was astonishing, cutting through the air itself and radiating an astonishing sword aura.

They headed straight for Chengkun.

Cheng Kun's expression changed instantly. He activated his Hunyuan Gong at high speed, unleashing the internal force in his arms with a fierce burst, causing crackling sounds to fill the air.

His palm strike was powerful and fierce, cleaving through the sword energy, trying to block the sudden sword light!
But when the palm print collided with the sword light, the light subsided, revealing the peerless sword edge, which pierced directly into Cheng Kun's palm.

Cheng Kun's expression changed again. He dared not take the attack head-on and quickly moved aside.

boom!
The sword fell straight down, tearing apart the spot where Cheng Kun had been standing; the hard stone slabs were shattered by the force of the sword.

"This is... the Heaven-Slaying Sword!?"

This sudden turn of events surprised Yang Xiao and the others.

Yang Xiao, who had once personally seized the Heaven Sword, recognized the peerless sword stuck in the ground as none other than the Heaven Sword.

But the Heaven-Reliant Sword is a treasure of the Emei Sect, how could it be here!?
"Hahaha, the cult leader is here! We're saved!"

Wei Yixiao suddenly burst into laughter, knowing that the Heaven-Slaying Sword had become Xu Qing's spoils of war.

The appearance of this sword indicates that Xu Qing has made his move.

After leading Xu Qing, Zhang Wuji and others to Bright Peak, he first let Xu Qing and the others rest in the Reception Hall.

Wei Yixiao was inquiring about Yang Xiao's whereabouts, and upon learning that everyone was in the council hall, he immediately rushed over.

This is also why Xu Qing and the others did not come to the council hall with him.

However, after Wei Yixiao left, Xu Qing, who was resting in the main hall, used his divine sense to investigate the situation at Bright Peak.

Naturally, they discovered the battle taking place in the council hall.

Therefore, at this critical moment, Xu Qing used his divine sense to control his sword, and made his move from a distance of a hundred feet from the council hall.

"The Cult Leader?!"

"Bat King, what are you saying?!"

"Could it be that the cult leader is still alive?!"

Yang Xiao and the Five Wanderers were all surprised and puzzled when they saw Wei Yixiao laughing loudly and saying that the sect leader had arrived.

They all believed that Yang Dingtian was still alive, or perhaps that Wei Yixiao had found him.

This might be why Wei Yixiao returned to the Ming Cult later than them.

After all, Wei Yixiao's lightness skill was unparalleled, so he should have been the first to return.

Returning so late now inevitably makes everyone think of these things.

"The Cult Leader?!"

Cheng Kun clutched his bleeding right arm, beads of sweat forming on his face.

Naturally, he also heard Wei Yixiao's words.

My heart skipped a beat. How could this be?!
Yang Dingtian couldn't possibly be alive!

He witnessed Yang Dingtian die with blood flowing from all seven orifices, and there is absolutely no way he could be brought back to life!
