In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

The sword energy surrounding Gu Hanyuan began to converge, transforming into a colossal, earth-shattering sword.

"Famous throughout the world".

As Gu Hanyuan softly chanted, the colossal sword formed from condensed sword energy crashed down with unparalleled power.

The ninth move of the "Mysterious Sword Technique" that once severely injured Dorgon is presented in another form.

Although their strength was dispersed, it was still beyond the ability of Xinmei and the others to withstand.

Even if a grandmaster were to arrive, they would undoubtedly meet a certain death.

Therefore, a clear and ethereal Buddhist chant was heard.

An old monk suddenly appeared in front of Xinmei and the others.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he said indifferently:

"Finally emerged, the 'Land Immortal' of Northern Shaolin. In that case, take this sword strike from me."

Chapter 730: Driving a Tiger to Devour a Wolf?

The old monk from the Northern Shaolin Temple who suddenly appeared had a face full of strange charm, radiating a captivating divine light, yet his skin was as smooth as a baby's.

But those eyes, though gleaming with restrained brilliance, concealed unfathomable intelligence and a profound understanding of human nature.

He was relaxed and composed, exuding an irresistible aura and demeanor.

The crowd, shocked by Gu Hanyuan's words, were also drawn to the old monk's dignified demeanor and subconsciously felt a sense of goodwill towards him.

However, the old monk appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was far from relaxed.

Especially after Gu Hanyuan's sword finger changed, the old monk's expression changed drastically.

Gu Hanyuan's sword finger not only changed the power of the sword energy, but also made the originally scattered sword energy form more solid.

In short, it's a change from area-of-effect attacks to single-target attacks.

With the total power remaining unchanged, the pressure faced by the old monk is completely different.

When he appeared, he wanted to help Xinmei and the others block the sword energy, and somewhat carelessly chose a defensive approach.

This is different from when Dorgon first used his sword energy to clear a path and neutralize some of the sword energy.

The old monk absorbed almost the entire sword energy of "Famous Throughout the World 31".

However, the gap in strength between the old monk and Dorgon was even greater.

Gu Hanyuan's expression suddenly turned serious.

The old monk stretched out his hands, and the surrounding air seemed to be sucked away by his palms. The cold wind that had been stirred up by Gu Hanyuan's sword energy stopped.

However, this alone was still not enough to stop the "renowned" sword energy.

The old monk seemed to have transformed into a Buddha with a thousand hands and a hundred feet, unleashing hundreds of palm and foot shadows that seemed to have no target and no purpose whatsoever.

In an instant, the defense turned into offense, and the sword energy completely fell into the "Buddha Dance," gradually slowing down until it stagnated.

At this moment, the giant sword energy was no longer more than an arm's length away.

However, this very short distance remains an insurmountable obstacle.

The old monk's expression relaxed slightly, and he was about to reveal a smile.

The giant sword energy in front of him suddenly exploded without warning, and the old monk's expression changed drastically.

She stumbled back several steps before finally stopping, her face grim as she stared at Gu Hanyuan, who had a subtle smile playing on his lips.

Gu Hanyuan secretly added a ruthless sword intent, leaving the old monk with no way to speak of his mistake.

He already had a rough idea of ​​the old monk's strength.

It's not difficult to defeat him using conventional methods, but killing the old monk is impossible, and even injuring him would be quite difficult.

The old monk's strength was only slightly inferior to Pang Ban's; if it hadn't been for the surprise attack, he wouldn't have suffered such a loss so easily.

Gu Hanyuan said calmly:

"Master, your martial arts skills are extraordinary. May I ask your Dharma name?"

The old monk had recovered by now. He put his hands together, bowed, and said:

"You flatter me, Benefactor Gu. I have no idea. Benefactor Gu's divine skills are unparalleled. You are not a terrestrial immortal, but you are even better than one. This is a rare sight in the world. I admire you the most."

A sharp glint flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

It turns out that the old monk is Wuxiang, the supreme master in "Turning Clouds and Covering Rain". Comparing him to Pang Ban is quite appropriate.

The previous moves that absorbed air and sword energy, as well as the "Buddha Dance," should be Wuxiang's signature move, the "Ten Forms of Wuxiang."

It's truly remarkable that they were able to turn the tide from a disadvantageous position to an offensive one.

Moreover, Wu Xiang's scheming and cunning surpass even Xin Mei's.

His attitude was extremely sincere, which made Gu Hanyuan reluctant to make another move, while also revealing his true cultivation level.

They flattered Gu Hanyuan to death without any real emotion.

The revelation of Gu Hanyuan's true cultivation level has both advantages and disadvantages.

He was able to rival a terrestrial immortal even though he hadn't reached the level of a terrestrial immortal, and even killed Dorgon.

Most people don't know that Dorgon was a terrestrial deity.

In this way, if Gu Hanyuan were to truly reach the realm of a terrestrial immortal, wouldn't he be invincible?

As for those who question whether Gu Hanyuan can break through to the level of a terrestrial immortal, how stupid must they be to say such a thing?

Therefore, Gu Hanyuan's prestige has reached a new level, making him even more alarming.

Those who are hostile to Gu Hanyuan will certainly not let him break through to the terrestrial immortal realm smoothly.

It's estimated that "Luo Wang" will receive quite a few more assassination orders.

Gu Hanyuan paused to let his thoughts wander slightly, but remained outwardly composed as he said:

"So Master is the Venerable Monk Wuxiang, no wonder his skill is so profound. I have heard that Master has fought against 'Demon Master' Pang Ban twice and declared that he would challenge Pang Ban a third time. Master's repeated defeats are admirable. I have also had the honor of fighting against 'Demon Master' Pang Ban. Forgive my bluntness, but Master, it would be better to give up this third challenge, otherwise the righteous path of the martial arts world will suffer a great loss."

Gu Hanyuan countered with a move that seemed to mock him, implying that his strength was inferior to Pang Ban's and that he would perish in another battle.

Of course, this claim is pure nonsense.

Gu Hanyuan was familiar with both of their martial arts skills.

Even if he were to lose to Pang Ban, he would be able to escape unscathed.

Unless Pang Ban finds a suitable vessel and completes the "Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique," he will not be able to kill Wu Xiang.

Speaking of which, why hasn't Jin Bingyun arrived yet? Pang Ban's actions are a bit too slow.

Gu Hanyuan still had the leisure to consider the beauties who came to his door.

Wu Xiang's face, however, was as black as the bottom of a pot.

His two defeats at the hands of Pang Ban were his greatest humiliation, yet Gu Hanyuan mentioned it to his face.

He even asserted with certainty that he would lose a third time and that he would die.

Even with the cultivation of a mind free from thought, fluctuations are inevitable.

However, being a highly accomplished monk, he quickly recovered.

They even went so far as to feign concern and say:

"Thank you for your concern, Benefactor Gu. However, I heard that you fought a great battle with Wutian in the Qing Dynasty palace, which may have ruined his plans. Benefactor Gu should be more careful of Wutian. Our Shaolin sect has always taken it as its duty to uphold justice in the martial arts world. If you need anything, Benefactor Gu, you can always ask us for help."

Gu Hanyuan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Is Shaolin trying to use one tiger to devour another?

It's not impossible.

Both Gu Hanyuan himself and his identity as Wutian are formidable enemies of Shaolin.

It is not a difficult strategy for one side to unite against the other.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he said calmly:

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. Wutian has wreaked havoc on the martial world, and the righteous path should punish him as a matter of course."

He neither agreed to join forces nor outright refused.

Leave an ambiguous statement and wait for them to come to you.

They'll dig a hole for Shaolin later.

Wu Xiang was delighted to hear this and said:

"Amitabha, that's exactly how it should be."

Gu Hanyuan saw the hint of joy flash in Wu Xiang's eyes, but his heart was filled with mockery.

Weakening Shaolin's foundation was his original plan.

Now that Wuxiang has revealed himself, it won't be so easy for him to hide again.

When the time is right, Gu Hanyuan can kill him again under the identity of Wutian.
