Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

At the same time, he shifted his footwork slightly, his figure flashed, and he rushed straight towards Kongxing. His moves changed, and he used the Mighty Vajra Fist again. This time, the fist force was mixed with the cold poison of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand, making it more violent and fierce than before. The fist wind howled, carrying a heart-palpitating pressure.

Kongxing's expression was solemn, and he dared not be careless in the slightest. He circulated his internal energy to its limit and quietly used the Shaolin Nine Yang Skill. A faint golden light emanated from his body, forming an invisible barrier to resist the poison gas emanating from Su Xin.

He could clearly sense that there was a chilling toxin hidden in the surrounding air. If he were to come into contact with it by accident, it would surely erode his meridians and deplete his internal energy.

Even with the Nine Yang Skill protecting him, Kongxing still sensed that his internal energy was being consumed at an alarming rate, half again as fast as when he fought against experts of the same level.

He was secretly shocked. The Thousand Spider Poison Hand was indeed powerful. Even though it was countered by the Nine Yang Skill, it could still secretly affect the circulation of his internal energy. It was really strange.

Before he could think, Su Xin's fist was already upon him. Kong Xing dared not take it head-on. He shifted his body to the side, dodging the force of the punch, and at the same time, his right hand suddenly shot out, his fingertips like claws, carrying a sharp gust of wind, and went straight for Su Xin's wrist.

It is the Shaolin's ultimate martial art, the Dragon Claw Hand.

His Dragon Claw Technique had long been honed to a pinnacle of skill, his fingertips wielding sharp, powerful force capable of shattering metal and stone, each move ruthless and aimed directly at Su Xin's vital points.

"Such fast claw techniques!" The people in the hall exclaimed inwardly, their eyes fixed on the two figures, not daring to relax for a moment.

The Empty Dragon Claw Hand truly lived up to its reputation; every move was precise and ruthless, without any flaws, showcasing the profoundness of Shaolin martial arts.

Su Xin remained calm and composed, using his Vajra Fist to deflect each move with fierce force. The fist collided with Kongxing's Dragon Claw Hand, producing a series of loud "bangs" and shockwaves that caused the robes of those around him to flutter.

Occasionally, he would also intersperse a few powerful Vajra Finger strikes, the force of which was sharp and aimed directly at Kongxing's major acupoints, forcing Kongxing to be distracted in order to deal with them.

Master Kongwen, standing to the side, clasped his hands together, his eyes fixed on the fight between the two, his expression complex, and he sighed inwardly.

He watched as Su Xin unleashed the Vajra Finger technique, its moves exquisite, its power profound, and its mastery even surpassed his own.

Having cultivated the Vajra Strength Index for ten years, he believed he had reached a certain level, but compared to Su Xin, he was still a step behind, which inevitably made him feel somewhat disappointed.

Zhang Sanfeng sat in the main seat, watching the duel between the two with great interest, his eyes full of admiration.

The dragon claw of emptiness is steady and sharp, a skill that has reached perfection.

Su Xin's kung fu is a blend of fierceness and coldness, combining strength and gentleness. In particular, the combination of the Vajra Fist and the Thousand Spider Poison Hand is exquisite and has the potential to become a school of its own.

He increasingly felt that this young man was truly a rare martial arts prodigy.

Ji Xiaofu stood in the Emei Sect's group, her hands clasped tightly, her eyes following Su Xin's figure closely, her eyes filled with worry, yet also with a hint of pride.

She knew that Su Xin was powerful, but Kongxing was a high-ranking monk from Shaolin, and his Dragon Claw Hand technique was superb. This duel would definitely not be easy.

But she also believed that Su Xin would never lose!

He Taichong and Ban Shuxian stood side by side, watching the two fight with solemn expressions, secretly relieved.

Fortunately, Master Kongwen acted first, otherwise it would be the couple fighting Su Xin right now.

Judging from Su Xin's current skills, even if the couple joined forces, they might not be a match for him, which inevitably made them feel a little scared.

In the arena, the duel between the two became increasingly intense. Kongxing's dragon claws moved faster and faster, the claw shadows flying, and the golden light around his body grew more and more intense as he desperately resisted the corrosive effects of the poisonous gas. However, the consumption of his internal energy was still severe, and fine beads of sweat gradually seeped from his forehead.

Su Xin remained calm and composed, alternating between the Vajra Fist and the Vajra Finger, while the poisonous gas of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand continued to spread, making his moves increasingly ferocious and forcing Kong Xing to gradually fall into a disadvantageous position.

The two exchanged blows, their fists and claws clashing, their moves unpredictable and ever-changing. In the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged nearly a hundred blows. Kongxing's breathing gradually became rapid, the golden light around him dimmed, and his steps began to become unsteady.

The Nine Yang Skill's protective power was already extremely taxing, and with the Thousand Spider Poison Hand's poison constantly eroding his body, his internal energy was almost depleted. Every move and stance became increasingly strenuous, and the power of his Dragon Claw Hand also weakened considerably.

Su Xin observed all of this, a knowing smile playing on his lips. He abruptly withdrew his attack, retreating several steps to distance himself from Kongxing, ceasing his assault. The chilling aura surrounding him gradually subsided, the poison dissipating as well. His expression remained calm, showing no sign of fatigue.

Seeing this, Kongxing stopped, staggered to his feet, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. He looked at Su Xin with a frank expression, without the slightest attempt to deny it, and bowed to Su Xin to admit defeat: "I have lost! Young hero, you are indeed powerful. Your poison is too strange. Even with the Nine Yang Skill protecting my body, it still secretly eroded me, and my internal energy was consumed more rapidly. At this moment, I have exhausted my internal energy and have no strength left to fight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kongxing felt his legs go weak. If Kongzhi hadn't stepped forward to support him in time, he would have almost fallen to the ground.

His internal energy was completely exhausted, and he could barely stand. His face was full of fatigue, but also showed a bit of respect for Su Xin.

This young man is so young, yet his martial arts skills are so formidable, and his mind is so meticulous; it is truly rare.

Su Xin nodded slightly to Kong Xing, his tone calm and composed: "You flatter me. Master's Dragon Claw Hand is indeed worthy of its reputation. If it weren't for the Thousand Spider Poison Hand secretly consuming your internal energy, defeating Master would not have been easy."

Zhang Sanfeng, sitting in the main seat, looked at the scene before him and, after a moment's thought, instantly understood the key to it.

He stroked his beard, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, and thought to himself:

Although the Shaolin Nine Yang Skill can provide immunity to some toxins, it requires additional internal energy to completely resist the hidden poison of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand.

The boy's internal strength was already quite profound, far exceeding that of his peers. Kongxing had to deal with the boy's fierce punches while also expending his internal strength to resist the poison gas. As a result, his internal strength was naturally depleted quickly, and he was eventually defeated.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but think of other internal energy cultivation methods.

If it were an ordinary internal skill, without the ability of the Nine Yang Skill to counteract poisons, one would probably be unable to exchange a hundred moves before the poisonous gas of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand eroded their meridians, causing them to faint directly and leaving them with no power to fight back.

"This Thousand Spider Poison Hand technique is indeed quite skillful."

Zhang Sanfeng sighed inwardly. He had lived for a hundred years and seen countless martial arts techniques, but he had rarely seen such a secretive and domineering poison technique. It could not only secretly erode internal energy, but also be combined with fierce martial arts to exert its power. It was truly ingenious.

Moreover, at his age, he had long since become indifferent to the distinction between good and evil in martial arts.
