Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

Li Changqing's understanding of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms largely stemmed from the secondary embellishment shown on screen.

After cultivating to the level of fist intent, when he swung his palm, there was a sound like a dragon's roar.

Later, his palm technique improved even further.

Each time it was activated, the space between the fist and palm was covered with powerful true energy that had solidified into a tangible form.

The Dragon Claw can generate a powerful suction force.

Previously, Li Changqing's dog-beating stick was destroyed by Qi Mingxiu, and now he also wants to take away the other party's precious sword.

"What kind of evil technique is this?"

Qi Mingxiu's expression changed drastically when he realized he couldn't draw his sword.

He never imagined that someone in this world could take away his weapon with their bare hands.

If the opponent is stronger than him, and is a master of the Great Freedom Realm, then so be it.

But the other party was clearly about the same strength as him.

How could he possibly do such a thing?

Qi Mingxiu had condensed all the true energy he had cultivated for sixty years onto his wrist.

He couldn't believe that the other party's skill level could be higher than his.

Li Changqing also realized this. Although he had control of the opponent's sword, he was currently maintaining the power of the Free and Unfettered Realm. It seemed unlikely that he could take the sword from the opponent by force.

Qi Mingxiu was, after all, a retainer of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and had cultivated for many years, possessing profound knowledge and skills.

Since we can't confront them head-on, we have to resort to tricks.

As Li Changqing released his inner energy, the sword immediately returned to Qi Mingxiu's hand.

Having regained his sword, Qi Mingxiu now looked at Li Changqing with deep fear in his eyes.

He no longer dared to underestimate his opponent just because the other party was unarmed.

"The Beggars' Sect, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms! Such a divine skill, how come I've never heard of it before?"

Qi Mingxiu frowned and asked.

The previous Dog-Beating Stick Technique was merely an evil technique, but the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms can definitely be considered a divine skill.

Moreover, it's a divine skill specifically designed for combat.

"Then you must be ignorant. My Beggars' Sect is the number one sect in the world, how could we not have a few secret techniques up our sleeves?"

Li Changqing feigned disdain, but he understood perfectly well what was going on.

Not to mention Qi Mingxiu had never heard of it, no one in the world today could have heard of it before.

He started practicing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms very early, beginning to study it when he was ten years old.

But this was the first time he had actually fought with someone.

"Two dragons playing in the water!"

Li Changqing's hands moved up and down rapidly, accompanied by the continuous roar of dragons.

Not only that.

Qi Mingxiu and the others even saw that dragon claws were faintly visible on Li Changqing's palm.

"Transforming Qi into form, achieving ultimate freedom!!"

One of the experts from the Six Doors couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Strictly speaking, both the Free and Unfettered Realm and the Great Free and Unfettered Realm are actually late-stage Transcendent Realm.

However, the difference in strength between the two is enormous.

"I've only just scratched the surface."

Lu Chuan said in a low voice.

Even so, the admiration in his eyes was undisguised.

If the other party hadn't belonged to a sect, he would have already tried to recruit them.

Besides the commander and deputy commander, the Golden Guard has several special positions reserved for those with exceptional strength.

This is also one of the core tenets of the Golden Guard.

Having regained his sword, Qi Mingxiu dared not be careless again.

Faced with Li Changqing's attacks, he suffered repeated defeats.

While retreating, he was also looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

At this point, Qi Mingxiu no longer dared to treat Li Changqing as a junior. He had come to regard him as a formidable enemy on par with the Great Free and Unfettered.

You only get one chance!

Qi Mingxiu had cultivated in the Great Zhou Armory for so many years, and he was not without his trump cards.

However, Li Changqing's palm technique was too powerful and domineering.

Once the opponent is at a disadvantage, his two palms move like a surging river, continuously.

It looked as if they were going to drown the other party.

Only because Qi Mingxiu had a solid foundation was he able to barely hold on.

Anyone else would probably have been killed by Li Changqing's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms long ago.

The two exchanged more than ten moves before Li Changqing's palm strike paused.

It seems he had reached his limit and now needs to catch his breath.

Just as Li Changqing's old strength had dissipated and new strength had yet to emerge, a terrifying glint flashed in Qi Mingxiu's eyes.

The opportunity he's been looking for is now.

Without warning, the sword in his hand suddenly accelerated...

"Autumn Wind Slash!!"

The sword strikes without leaving a trace, yet it seems to sever everything in space.

The women, including Hong Fu Nu, were utterly amazed.

With their level of skill, Qi Mingxiu's sword strike seemed unfathomably profound.

This was precisely the area they had been searching for but had never been able to enter.

This set of Autumn Wind Sword Techniques should be the technique that Qi Mingxiu created himself to break through his limits.

Besides accumulating skill, there is another particularly important factor in the transition from Grandmaster to Free Spirit.

That is to comprehend one's own martial arts way.

This sword strike perfectly embodies Qi Mingxiu's understanding of martial arts.

With a single sword strike, it was as if time and space stood still.

Only that one sword, shooting out a dazzling light, was about to sever everything before it.

But at this very moment, Li Changqing, whose old strength had been exhausted and whose new strength had not yet emerged, revealed a slight smile.

The fish has taken the bait!

Faced with the incoming sword strike, Li Changqing neither dodged nor avoided it, but instead met it head-on.

He placed his two palms one in front of the other, and the front palm unleashed a tremendous dragon roar.

"Soaring Dragon!"

The fist's force clashed with the sword's energy, and neither side gained the upper hand.

Realizing this, Qi Mingxiu continuously channeled his inner energy into the sword.

His skill level is no less than Li Changqing's.

Qi Mingxiu was naturally alarmed to find that he could not gain the upper hand in terms of moves.

But he immediately thought of how to resolve it.

Even if the result of the battle between the two sides is just a draw.

It's better than him, a veteran master of the Free and Unfettered Realm, getting beaten up by a younger guy.

Just as Qi Mingxiu was continuously increasing his power, Li Changqing, who was opposite him, suddenly loosened his grip.

"I regret it!!"

"The Dragon Regrets" is one of the most powerful palm techniques in the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

This palm strike caught even the formidable Qi Mingxiu off guard.

The sword in his hand, along with his entire body, tilted forward uncontrollably.

Just as Qi Mingxiu was trying to regain his composure, he noticed that Li Changqing's other hand, accompanied by a terrifying dragon's roar, had already grabbed his wrist.

Even when faced with a sword that could cut through iron like mud, Li Changqing's Dragon Claw Hand could hold its own.

If he gets caught, his wrist will probably be ruined.

"Let go!"

This is the second time.

The first time, Qi Mingxiu, thanks to his stable cultivation, failed to let Li Changqing succeed.

But this time, Qi Mingxiu no longer had the resources to rival Li Changqing.

How could this veteran master of the Free and Unfettered Realm have lost in terms of moves?

And they lost miserably.

"Clang!"

The sword slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground.

Qi Mingxiu, who was unarmed, had also learned martial arts.

But how could his meager martial arts skills possibly contend with Li Changqing?

After snatching the sword from his hand, Li Changqing struck out with his palm again.

"The Azure Dragon Emerges from its Cave!"

"puff!"
