Martial Arts: Starting with Bajiquan, I will prove my divine power through the ultimate path!

?

These words were spoken.

Zhao Mingde looked puzzled.

Before he could react, his hands, which were resting on the boy's shoulders, were suddenly forced apart by bulging muscles.

The other person's height is increasing rapidly.

Before Zhao Mingde could even react, a scorching and terrifying heat wave swept over him. His bulging, massive muscles rose up like mounds of earth, and the muscles on his back formed a shield of steel, casting a large shadow over the area!

When you meet those cold, indifferent eyes.

Zhao Mingde felt a chill run down his spine; an inexplicable pressure and fear welled up inside him.

He instinctively raised his arms to block in front of him.

boom!!!

The force of hundreds of thousands of kilograms slammed most of Zhao Mingde into the ground. Countless heavy energies within his body simultaneously rotted away, and the enormous impact caused him to cough up blood!

"How is this possible? How is this possible?"

"How could you suddenly become so strong?!"

Zhao Mingde was shocked. He didn't have time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He used his arms to support the sky and hold back Shi Wen's arm, which was smashing down like a hammer!

Shi Wen is controlled by his mind.

The normally activated Burning True Intent caused wisps of tiny flames to ignite on his skin, making him appear like a ferocious beast emerging from the fire, his every move exuding a world-destroying power!

"puff……"

Zhao Mingde's arm was broken off, and the area that came into contact with the energy, flesh, and clothes felt as if it had come into contact with a slick of kerosene!

"What kind of martial arts master are you, claiming to have mastered the three energies of blood, bone, and spirit? How come you can't even withstand a casual strike from me? Is this the martial arts you're so proud of?"

"Make a move! Why aren't you making a move?"

"You better make a move!!"

boom!

Rumble!!!

The entire Taoist temple was shaken. The man, like a beast in human skin, grabbed Zhao Mingde's legs and slammed them to the ground, swinging them wildly!

The stunned Taoists came to their senses.

Iron chains appeared in their hands, each ending in a sharp, long hook made of black iron. Each hook was the size of a finger. Dozens of chains flew toward Shi Wen's body, precisely hooking his shoulders, ribs, and limbs!

The long ropes were taut and dense, and more than ten experts in internal strength stood in various positions, their legs like iron pillars embedded in the ground!

They were tense and focused, as if afraid the boy would break free of his restraints!

"Die!"

Zhao Mingde, now calmer, was filled with rage. A rushing sound, like a great river, emanated from his body. The burst of energy from his body caused his robes to billow high, and the rain was expelled by the energy emanating from his body.

His withered hand had turned completely black with poison!

It was aimed at Shi Wen's face.

"Well done!"

Instead of retreating, Shi Wen advanced, his left palm, shaped like a fan, burning with a powerful flame.

boom!

The moment their palms collided, the surrounding rainwater created a vacuum zone several meters wide, and the deafening sound echoed throughout the courtyard.

Crimson blood oozed from the Taoist priests' eardrums, and the long ropes in their hands slipped from their grasp.

"ah!!!"

Zhao Mingde let out a violent scream.

The arm that clashed with Shi Wen's was broken into countless bone fragments, and countless bursts of energy vanished into thin air. Flames began to burn from the palm of his hand!

The scorching power contained in that palm strike was something even he couldn't withstand.

He had no idea whether the other party had used their full strength!

"Stop him, I'm going to find Elder Xiang!"

Enraged, Zhao Mingde broke off his shattered arm and, enduring the excruciating pain, charged into the dark forest.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Shi Wen rushed forward, but unexpectedly, the Taoists swung their long ropes in unison, grabbing his arms and legs and hindering his movement. These ropes were made of some unknown material and were incredibly tough, making it difficult for him to break them.

Watching Zhao Mingde's figure disappear into the darkness.

Shi Wen's face darkened, and he turned to look at the Taoists, his face revealing immense killing intent!

"ah!!!!"

Just a moment later.

From the desolate temple deep in the mountains came a heart-wrenching scream!

With his arm severed, Zhao Mingde was pale-faced. He fled frantically through the mountains and forests, his heart filled with fear and bewilderment at everything he had seen that night.

If it weren't for the intense pain emanating from the severed arm...

He really thought that what he was experiencing was just an illusion!

Why did the ant that Elder Xiang regarded as a pawn suddenly become so powerful?

He had already mastered the Refining Strength Realm and was only one step away from reaching the True Person Realm, becoming an elder with considerable influence within the Holy Son's lineage!

But who knows?

But tonight, that kid crippled him with a single palm strike?

He even had a premonition that the other party was not using his primordial blood to expand his body, or using some kind of martial arts secret technique to make his body bigger, but was his true original body!

The previous body shape was just a reduction in size.

The problem is... even a martial arts master like him can't temper his body to be more than three meters tall, how could that kid possibly do it!

"There's definitely something wrong with this kid!"

"It must be someone sent by other forces to destroy the Holy Son's ceremony in Black Cloud County. He will definitely sabotage the ceremony!!"

"But martial arts realm cannot be faked. How could someone at the mere Yuan Blood stage possibly injure me!"

Zhao Mingde looked completely bewildered.

He is a martial arts master who has reached the peak of the Refining Strength Realm. A single wisp of his energy is enough to pierce through dozens of layers of blood membranes!

The gap between martial arts realms.

How could it possibly be replaced by something else?

"We must inform Elder Xiang of this quickly; only Elder Xiang can kill him!"

There's definitely something wrong with him...

Zhao Mingde fled in a sorry state.

When he heard the screams coming from the deserted temple, he fled down the mountain even faster.

He panicked and fled for his life, seeing several carriages slowly moving along the official road.

Looking at the sign on the carriage, Zhao Mingde hurriedly went over and pleaded, "This humble Taoist is being chased by thieves. I beg the friends of the Thousand Paths Sect to come to my rescue. The True Immortal Temple will surely remember your kindness!"

The coachman was so frightened that he stopped the carriage.

The burly men who came out of the other carriages stared at him warily!

In the first carriage, a woman's exclamation rang out, "Zhenxian Temple? Are you really a Taoist priest from Zhenxian Temple?"

"Qing'er, don't cause trouble outside." The middle-aged man's kind voice rang out. "We're here in Black Cloud County on a mission. The mission is the priority; we mustn't create any unnecessary complications!"

"Master, I've heard that the True Immortal Temple is full of experts, including those who are practically immortals. You've been a True Person for many years, and haven't you always wanted to befriend truly virtuous people like those in the True Immortal Temple? Now that you have the opportunity, why are you avoiding it?"

A woman's clear and melodious voice rang out, saying, "Perhaps by rescuing this person, you will gain the goodwill of the True Immortal Temple. In the future, because of your good deed today, you may be able to obtain the method to overcome the three calamities from the True Immortal Temple and thus enter the ranks of the Quanzhen School."
