Let the true energy circulate for a while

……

After reloading his magazine, he moved to a different cover and continued firing.

Zhang Junyan looked horrified: "What kind of technique was that just now? Could it be the Dragon Tiger Celestial Master's secret technique, Palm Thunder?"

Men Gun asked in surprise, "What is a palm strike?"

"It is said that the Dragon Tiger Celestial Master can transform qi into thunder, and is a grandmaster of true qi transformation! You...you...you don't look like the old Celestial Master at your age."

While firing the gun, he said, "You wouldn't understand if I told you. Ask Brother Chen later."

Zhang Junyan said, "That handsome guy with long hair looks like someone from the Taoist sect."

The smoke of battle had not yet cleared, and the stench of blood permeated the entire mountain forest. The corpses of bandits were scattered everywhere, and scorched earth surged up where the grenade had just exploded.

The remaining bandit fighters were panting heavily, their bodies covered in blood.

The last two bandits who survived were kneeling on the ground, gleaming steel knives pressed tightly against their necks, as they trembled and recounted the situation in the mountain stronghold.

The battle is over. It went smoothly, and our side suffered zero casualties.

He sheathed his submachine gun and looked up at the center of the battlefield.

Chen Ye sheathed his sword, stood still, and looked towards the misty mountain stronghold deep within Woniu Ridge. Turning back, he shouted loudly, "Brothers, let's storm the stronghold!"

"Are there any ancestors or anything like that up there?" Muffled stick asked.

"Up there are innocent civilians they have abducted and some remaining bandits guarding the mountain."

Zhang Junyan said, "I know this area well, I'll lead the way."

"it is good."

Chen Ye untied his water pouch, tilted his head back, and gulped down several mouthfuls of cool mountain spring water. He wiped the blood and dust from the corner of his lips. "Brother Zhang, you said before that Zhao Youzhen rescued you?"

"Yes! Zhao Youzhen...look at the sky!!"

The world suddenly went dark!

Above Woniu Ridge, dark clouds surged in an instant, like ink waves pouring into the sky. Layer upon layer of dark clouds rapidly gathered with the force of a mountain collapsing, and in the blink of an eye, they completely enveloped the entire mountain forest.

The next moment, thunder roared from the heavens!

It was not the crisp sound of ordinary mountain thunder and rain, but the deep, ancient sound of wind and thunder, which shook the mountains and made the trees tremble. Birds in the forest scattered in panic, beasts crawled on the ground and trembled, and even insects and ants on the ground frantically burrowed into the soil to avoid it.

Deep within the clouds, purple-gold lightning began to roam wildly, swirling and tearing within the dark clouds. With each flash, it ripped blinding streaks of light from the dark sky, and the might of divine punishment descended with a deafening roar.

Chen Ye's pupils shrank sharply, his face filled with utter shock!

The blow left him frozen in place, his eyes filled with terror, completely stunned.

Zhang Junyan and the bandits-suppressing heroes standing nearby were also terrified, their faces turning ashen. One of them pointed tremblingly at the sky and roared, "It's...it's the Jiazi Heavenly Tribulation! How could it descend upon this place!"

"The Heavenly Tribulation of the Jiazi Year!" The moment those five words were uttered, everyone's souls were scattered.

It has been passed down through generations in the martial arts world that this calamity occurs once every sixty years, and no one has ever been able to withstand it!

Men Gun's face instantly contorted in pain as he grabbed Chen Ye's sleeve: "You...you said the heavenly tribulation wouldn't strike for another 40 years, right? How...how did it come so early!"

Chen Ye stared intently at the increasingly violent thunder dragon in the sky, muttering to himself, "History books are all lies!"

"Could it be that I'm too overpowered, using a submachine gun and throwing grenades at the same time!"

Before the words were even finished, the purple-gold lightning in the clouds had already reached its peak.

Chen Ye handed a jade flower to Men Gun, his eyes resolute: "If things really don't work out, we'll run away!"

A terrifying purple thunder dragon, stretching across the sky, with its head held high and its whiskers crackling with thunder, was wrapped in lightning capable of scorching mountains and boiling seas. With a world-destroying pressure, it locked onto the club and swooped down with a roar!

The Thunder Dragon wasn't fast, but its thunderous power swept in all directions, scorching and distorting the air.

Hide? There's nowhere to hide! This heavenly tribulation has locked onto you, and wherever the lightning dragon passes, everything is reduced to dust!

Zhang Junyan's legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the blood-soaked ground, his eyes filled with despair. He cried out in despair, "There's no escaping it... We're all going to die here today!"

"Doing good deeds will get you struck by lightning! What kind of world is this?!"

The man with the blunt weapon turned deathly pale: "It's over, it's over..."

Chen Ye was about to activate the Jade Flower when a sudden change occurred. A familiar, aged voice came from the clouds above:

"Don't panic, Little Six, your master is here!"

Chen Ye's eyes lit up with wild joy. It was the legendary telepathic communication! Just how much more was Master hiding from me?!

A disheveled Taoist figure stood in mid-air!

The old Taoist priest wore a tattered Taoist robe that hung loosely on his body, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist and a pair of worn-out cloth shoes on his feet!

Before anyone could react, the slovenly Taoist took a swig of wine, clenched his fist, and flew toward the Thunder Dragon!

Boom! A punch slammed into the thunder dragon, and ripples spread across the sky.

"Damn it, this hurts like hell!" came a voice from the clouds.

The myriad purple lightning bolts were extinguished inch by inch, the dark clouds dissipated, and the sky above Woniu Ridge returned to clarity.

One punch shatters the heavens!

The disheveled Taoist priest, like a kite with a broken string, staggered and fell from the sky, about to crash into the forest.

"Master!"

Chen Ye roared, his true energy surging beneath his feet, and his figure shot off like an arrow, rushing towards the direction where his master had fallen.

"You're lying to me! You old fool, you're clearly a cultivator, but you're pretending to be a martial arts master, aren't you?!"

Everyone froze on the spot, dumbfounded, unable to move like statues. None of them had ever seen a deity before; this was truly an eye-opening experience.

Chen Ye ran for about a mile.

The disheveled Taoist priest, Mi Qiuzi, lay sprawled in the grass, covered in dust and dirt, pointing at the sky and cursing:

"Those old fogies up there are breaking the rules! They said it would happen once every sixty years! No way, I'm going to report them!"

"Oh, my disciple, you've arrived."

"Master, what exactly happened?"

Mi Qiuzi asked, "What level of the Longevity Technique have you reached, as taught by your master?"

"The third level."

"Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!"

"None of your five senior brothers are any good. They'll drive you crazy sooner or later. Sixth brother, to make a long story short, I lied to you. It was out of necessity."

Chen Ye's heart pounded wildly. If he could really cultivate immortality, then his father's terminal illness could be cured!

Mi Qiuzi seemed to see through his disciple's thoughts. A flash of approval crossed his eyes. His first thought was not about cultivating immortality, but about his father. He was a good child.

"Master, I have a lot of questions to ask you."

The disheveled Taoist priest suddenly said seriously, "I still have half an incense stick's time left. Don't speak, I'll get straight to the point."

"Go to Weishan and find the place where Ouyang Zhaoming is in seclusion. The answer is there."

"Baiyujing is not as sacred as you think. In your local parlance, Baiyujing is a huge makeshift operation."

"Once you find Zhao Youzhen, you must trust her unconditionally, just as you trust your master!"

The slovenly Taoist spoke rapidly, his body dissipating as he spoke: "Master made a mistake and was banished. Now that his term is up, he has no choice but to return. This is the will of Heaven, and I cannot escape it."

"Wait! Wait, wait!" The slovenly Taoist priest looked up and shouted at the sky, "Fuck your mother, wait a minute!"

His lower body was reduced to dust, only half of it remained, and his mouth opened and closed, as if he were trying very hard to speak:

"There are nine jade flowers. Find them in your world and unite them into one! This is very important, concerning billions of lives."

"Practice your skills diligently to repay your emotional debts... Do not become obsessed with women."

The disheveled Taoist priest choked up as he finished speaking.

"There won't be another heavenly tribulation within 44 years. Use technology with confidence. Your master is waiting for you up there, waiting for you to save your master, just like your master saved you back then..."

"Go to Weishan. Your master has left you the answers; all your questions are contained within..."

"Sixth Brother, when you see Fifth Brother, tell him that Master is hiding something from him. Do you remember who it is? Your...?"

The slovenly Taoist priest vanished completely before he could finish speaking.

Chen Ye stared in disbelief as his master vanished, turning into a wisp of white smoke that drifted into the sky.

"Master..."

Chen Ye felt inexplicably sad, gazing at the sky.

The clouds slowly gathered and shifted, forming three words: 【Awesome!】

Chen Ye blurted out, "Holy shit!"
