Martial Arts Crossover: Zhao Min, your sidekick is really something else.

He followed Cheng Kun through the secret passage, and even jumped out to try to capture the person and offer him to Zhao Min.

Isn't this just courting death?

Cheng Kun killed him with a single palm strike in the secret passage.

"Tsk..."

Xiao Yaoqing clicked his tongue inwardly.

Although Yuchi Feng now calls him "gang leader" and is quite attentive to him.

But he didn't intend to remind him.

After all, they had to take in this "gang leader".

I only agreed because I found this guy too annoying and had no other choice.

He didn't have any feelings for Yuchi Feng. However, a thought suddenly popped into Xiao Yaoqing's mind:

"How about I go and follow Cheng Kun for a bit?"

Xiao Yaoqing thought this way, of course, not because he sympathized with Yuchi Feng.

He knew very well that Yang Dingtian's remains were hidden in the secret passage on Bright Peak.

At this moment, another strange thought popped into Xiao Yaoqing's mind:

"If we were to touch Yang Dingtian's bones, we might find something good."

This sounds outrageous, but if you really think about it carefully, it's not entirely without merit.

Human flesh and bones are, in the end, both parts of the body. Moreover, bones are more substantial and harder to part with than flesh and skin.

Who knows, touching bones might have a higher drop rate than touching hands?

Although Yang Dingtian is just a skeleton in the original story, no one can deny that he was a top-notch ruthless person.

He was as famous as Zhang Zhenren of Wudang, and there was almost no one in the world who could rival him.

How could Xiao Yaoqing not be tempted by such a peerless master who radiates brilliance?

At this moment, Cheng Kun was bowing to Zhao Min with clasped hands and said:

"Princess, I will make the arrangements immediately."

Zhao Min nodded.

Cheng Kun turned and left.

Zhao Min had just raised her hand, intending to call Yu Chi Feng to follow, when Xiao Yaoqing suddenly spoke up:

"I'll go with him."

Zhao Min was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Xiao Yaoqing stared at her and said, "I don't believe him."

Zhao Min's eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded to Xiao Yaoqing, "That's what I think too!"

The tone of their voices sounded quite excited—as if the two of them were thinking the same thing, quite in sync.

However, Zhao Min added, "I originally wanted to send Yuchi Feng."

Xiao Yaoqing waved his hand: "He can't beat Cheng Kun. I'm leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and used his lightness skill to leap into the air.

"Eh—"

Zhao Min instinctively wanted to give chase, but the two elders of Xuanming stopped her, saying seriously, "Princess, it's dangerous ahead, you can't go. We've all seen Master Xiao's kung fu, he'll be fine."

Zhao Min still looked a little anxious, but she understood that Lu Zhangke was right.

All he could do was shout into the distance, "Xiao Yaoqing, be careful, don't get into trouble!"

In the distance, Lianxing, who had been quietly following, paused for a moment.

"They broke up?"

She glanced at Zhao Min's group, then looked in the direction where Xiao Yaoqing had disappeared.

Without much thought, he concealed his aura and chased after Xiao Yaoqing.

Her only goal has always been Xiao Yaoqing.

Relying on the Iron Palm Clan's water-skimming skills, Yu Chifeng was able to silently follow behind Cheng Kun without fear of losing him.

Xiao Yaoqing has mastered the Swallow Return technique to its ultimate perfection, making him faster than walking on water, so there's nothing to worry about.

As for Lianxing?

If she can't even keep up with Cheng Kun, she should really find a block of tofu and smash her head against it.

I don't know how long we walked.

Cheng Kun stopped at the top of a ravine.

He glanced around, and without the slightest hesitation, jumped down.

Xiao Yaoqing didn't hesitate either, and jumped down right after him.

The bottom of the rift valley looks bottomless; falling in would surely mean certain death.

While suspended in mid-air, Xiao Yao clearly saw a hole in the cliff face.

With just a little effort from your toes, you can easily slip it in.

In the original story, that fool Yuchi Feng was so eager to cause trouble for Cheng Kun as soon as he entered the secret passage that he ended up dead.

Couldn't you wait until the stone gate is opened before going in?

Xiao Yaoqing wouldn't be that stupid.

Even when he entered the secret passage, he tried his best not to let his feet touch the ground.

In this cave, even the slightest noise, given the right environment, can be amplified like thunder.

After Xiao Yaoqing followed Cheng Kun's figure, they went around several corners and completely disappeared into the passage.

A fragrant breeze wafted over.

Lianxing gently landed at the cave entrance.

With a hint of doubt in his eyes, he looked around.

Then, he quietly followed them inside.

Xiao Yaoqing followed closely behind Cheng Kun, making several turns, until they finally arrived at a stone gate.

Cheng Kun used the method taught to him by Lady Yang to open the stone door.

Madam Yang was naturally Yang Dingtian's wife.

It's not complicated at all—Madam Yang and Cheng Kun happened to run into Yang Dingtian practicing the fifth level of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth in this secret passage.

Yang Dingtian suffered a qi deviation on the spot and died.

Lady Yang couldn't bear it, and she followed him in death.

This is also why Cheng Kun was determined to destroy the Ming Cult.

Xiao Yaoqing knew it was time for him to show himself.

If they don't get out now, they won't know how to open the stone gate once Cheng Kun closes it.

So, just as Cheng Kun stepped through the door, preparing to pull the lever to close it,

He suddenly felt a cold wind coming from behind him.

Cheng Kun's heart tightened.

He immediately turned around, holding back no effort, and thrust a finger fiercely behind him.

This is his trump card – the Phantom Yin Finger.

But Cheng Kun's finger met a finger that was even colder and more intense.

That's right, Xiao Yaoqing also used the Illusionary Yin Finger.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud exploded.

Cheng Kun was so shocked that he was sent flying backward.

Xiao Yaoqing only took one step back.

After regaining his footing, he slowly raised his right index finger.

The layer of icy true energy on his fingertips was gradually dissipating.

"Ding!"

A system notification sounded in Xiao Yaoqing's mind.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully replicating the top-tier martial art—Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand!]

He acquired another skill from Cheng Kun.

The name "Dragon Claw Hand" is a well-known name in the martial arts world.

Xiao Yaoqing originally thought he would have to get this trick from some Shaolin monk, but he didn't expect to get it from Cheng Kun today.

Not bad.

"Thump—"

Cheng Kun, the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, crashed to the ground.

"Well……"

A suppressed cry of pain escaped his throat.

He gripped his right wrist tightly with his left hand, his head was covered in cold sweat, and he was trembling like a leaf.

He looked down at his right hand in horror.

That hand is now bluish-purple!

Cheng Kun suddenly looked up, staring at Xiao Yaoqing, his voice trembling:

"How could you possess the Phantom Finger technique?!"

Before he could finish speaking...

"hiss……"

A cold, stinging pain spread up his arm, making him gasp.

He gritted his teeth and held his breath, then lost his voice again:

"No! This isn't the Phantom Yin Finger! You... how can this cold poison be so potent? You're not using the Phantom Yin Finger at all!"

Xiao Yaoqing flicked his right hand, took two steps forward, and a smile appeared on his lips:

"It's just the Illusionary Yin Finger with a touch of Frost True Qi added. Cheng Kun, how come you have no confidence in your own skills at all?"

"Ice-like True Qi..."

Cheng Kun muttered those words repeatedly, his eyes fixed, "There really is such a chilling, bone-deep internal energy in this world?"

The domineering power of this icy true energy feels even fiercer than the Xuanming Divine Palm!

But Cheng Kun quickly suppressed his panic.

He slowly got up from the ground, stood up straight, and fixed his gaze on Xiao Yaoqing:

"You're that young man surnamed Xiao who works for Zhao Min, right?"

Xiao Yaoqing watched him regain his footing, a playful smile in his eyes, and replied:

"I never expected that the mighty Cheng Kun, the Thunderbolt Hand of Hunyuan, would still remember a nobody like me?"

He said that on purpose, of course.

Cheng Kun stared at him and smiled:

"I used to think you were just an insignificant person. But now it seems that the sinister skills you possess are beyond my expectations."

At this point, Cheng Kun changed the subject:

"Unfortunately—"

"You're still too green!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Kun released his right hand, stood firmly, and his breathing gradually returned to normal.

The reason he was rambling on with Xiao Yaoqing was to buy time.

Just now, he used the internal energy of his Illusionary Yin Finger, which he had cultivated for many years, to forcefully expel the icy true energy that had been injected into his body.

Dark purple pus and blood were squeezed out of the skin and dripped onto the ground, instantly freezing into ice crystals.

However, Xiao Yaoqing knew very well what this guy was plotting.

Does he really think he's some kind of hothead?

To be honest, Xiao Yaoqing had already decided that he needed to find someone to test the power of the Heart-Shattering Palm.

Isn't Cheng Kun right in front of us a ready-made target?

Cheng Kun raised his right hand, casually flicked it, and grinned: "I admit, you are indeed a martial arts genius, and your internal strength is quite profound. But in the end, you are still too green."

"Why did you have to pick on me of all people?"

"Guess what, if you were to die here today, would Zhao Min shed a few tears?"

Xiao Yaoqing listened to these words with amusement in his eyes.

Especially the line, "Of all people to cause trouble for, why did you have to pick on me?"

-

Why does this sound so familiar?

Wasn't this what I had said to the Xuanming Elders before?

To be honest, Xiao Yaoqing wasn't sure either.

Especially before, he thought he definitely couldn't beat Cheng Kun.

But things are different now.

He possessed the ultimate, perfect level of the art of "transferring flowers and grafting jade".

With such a powerful technique at their disposal, bridging the gap in strength between the two would be no problem at all.

Besides, Cheng Kun wasn't some kind of true master.

He's only slightly stronger than the Xuanming Elders.

At this moment, Cheng Kun had already taken up his stance.

With his arms outstretched, a surge of powerful true energy emanated from his body, causing his cassock to flutter in the wind.

Xiao Yaoqing recognized him at a glance.

This is Cheng Kun's Primordial True Qi.

Everyone else has already struck a pose, so it wouldn't be right not to cooperate, right?

He slowly gripped the longsword in his right hand, and then his whole body began to move lightly.

The movement was small, but a terrifying aura suddenly exploded from his body!

The stone gate wasn't closed yet, and Lianxing, standing outside, suddenly brightened up, her mind churning with turmoil:

"This...this is truly a perfected version of the Pointer Technique's transformation?!"

"Hiss—where did he get this from?!"

"Whoosh!"

Cheng Kun shot towards Xiao Yaoqing like a cannonball!

Xiao Yaoqing remained calm and raised his hands gently.

Cheng Kun's palm strike was powerful and heavy, carrying a thunderous force.
