The first move is crucial.

Lin Zhu's Mingyu True Essence rapidly transformed into a massive Void Cloud Force. He pressed down with both palms, and black and white clouds rose around him, forming a huge force field.

Ximen Chuixue was not far away, and seeing this situation, how could he not know that Lin Zhu had noticed something?

The sword's cry sounded like a dragon's roar as the black-sheathed sword was drawn.

"Overwhelming force!"

Lin Zhu moved the fastest, leaping up and creating a massive cloud of mist around him, forming a palm strike like a raging wave behind him, which he then pushed forward.

"Oh no, we've been discovered."

A commotion suddenly arose in the mountains, and figures rose to flee, as the palm strike brought by Lin Zhu was far too astonishing.

Unfortunately, they didn't have time to escape. A palm strike came into view, blotting out the sky and drawing in the immense power of the universe. The overwhelming pressure rendered them completely immobile.

As Chongyun's palm force pressed down, the trees in the mountain were crushed in an instant. The wood chips and soil and rocks merged together, as if a huge road roller weighing a thousand tons had been crushed over it, and the ground became extremely compacted.

Figures were embedded in the ground, transforming from 3D to 2D, with blood-red outlines around them, and their bodies became much wider.

The downward pressure of the palm was accompanied by a shockwave, and with a loud boom, the surrounding vegetation snapped and flew away, creating a tremendous commotion.

Some powerful individuals who were not in the center of the palm strike were spared from being crushed by the overwhelming force, but they were still affected by the aftershocks and were sent flying.

Not far away, Pi Shouxuan, Bian Bufu, and Xi Ying heard the commotion and looked up.

"Such powerful palm strike!"

Pi Shouxuan was startled. "This looks like the Cloud-Dispelling Palm of the Flying Cloud Hall Master of the World Society. Could it be that he has arrived?"

"It's possible. Besides him, only Xiong Ba knows the Cloud-Dispelling Palm. It can't be Xiong Ba who came," Xi Ying said calmly.

The three men were all dressed as scholars; one was elderly, one was middle-aged, and one was young, making them look like three generations living together.

Those who don't know their identities, upon seeing their appearance, would think they are from a scholarly family for three generations, as they are remarkably good-looking.

“Let’s go and meet them. In the end, they’re just a Grandmaster. Are the three of us afraid of them?” Bian Bufu said confidently.

"Haha, Nephew Bian is right, let's go."

The three of them took off from the mountaintop and swooped down.

Then, it landed lightly on the top of the three trees, only then seeing the damage caused by Lin Zhu's palm strike.

It was a depression tens of meters long and wide, resembling a palm but not quite, completely unlike anything that could be created by human power.

Lin Zhu stood on the rock, looked up at the three people, and said with a serious expression, "Three Grandmasters."

Shan Wanjing recognized Bian Bufu at a glance, her eyes filled with endless hatred, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Bian Bufu!"

Bian Bufeng looked down at Shan Wanjing, feeling that she looked somewhat familiar, but still teased her, "There's another beauty here. I'll make you happy later."

"I'll kill you!" Shan Wanjing couldn't hold back any longer. Her body trembled, and she was about to kill Bian Bufu.

The next moment, a hand pressed down on her shoulder. "You are no match for him."

It was at this moment.

Pi Shouxuan, that old silver coin, made his move, holding a bronze flute and pointing it at Lin Zhu.

A white shadow flashed by, and a long sword blocked the bronze flute. After the strike, both of them retreated.

Immediately following behind were two more figures, one a silver ring and the other an invisible, slender strand of energy, which attacked Lin Zhu.

For a moment, Lin Zhu lost the initiative.

Chapter 48 Lin Zhu: That's fucking disgusting

The silver ring arrived first. This was Bian Bufu's self-created ultimate technique, the Demon Heart Linked Rings, which carried a strange force that was impossible to defend against.

A hand shot out at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Lin Zhu's five fingers tapped the silver ring rapidly, dissipating the force on it. Then, with a quick flick of his wrist, the silver ring flew backward, heading towards the wisps of energy released by Xi Ying.

Those invisible strands of energy are called Purple Qi Heavenly Silk. When Xi Ying uses it, his eyes will be surrounded by purple light. When used to its fullest extent, it can create layers of energy nets around the enemy, trapping them in a deadly situation.

As the silver ring spun, Lin Zhu, with the help of the skillful use of the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the leverage of the Shifting Flower and Jade technique, transferred the Demon Heart Chain, clashing with Xi Ying's Purple Qi Heavenly Net.

The energy carried by the rotating silver ring disrupted and neutralized the wisps of Heavenly Purple Qi.

Then, he turned around, condensed a ball of water in his right hand, and pushed it out with his palm. The water transformed into three streams of vapor, ethereal and unpredictable, like swimming dragons, and attacked Bi Shouxuan, Bian Bufu and Xi Ying.

The ninth move of the Cloud-Dispelling Palm is called "Unpredictable Clouds." The palm force uses the clouds and mist to transform the illusory into the real, and its trajectory is unpredictable, making it impossible to defend against.

But the opponents were three grandmasters.

Pi Shouxuan repeatedly flicked his bronze flute, unleashing bursts of energy; Bian Bufu transformed his energy into a ring, slashing horizontally with his palm; Xi Ying formed a dense net of energy threads in front of him with both hands.

The three of them blocked the attack without much effort.

However, he was also sent flying back by the force of the palm strike.

"Impressive palm technique. Who is Xiong Ba to you?" Pi Shouxuan asked, looking at Lin Zhu.

"And who are you?" Lin Zhu asked in return.

Shan Wanjing called out Bian Bufeng's name, and Xi Ying was also easy to recognize, but she didn't know who this old man was.

"I am Bi Shouxuan of the Yin Gui Sect. I did not expect your strength to be so profound. Why don't you join me in entering the Holy Sect and comprehend the Great Dao of Dual Cultivation together?"

He looked at Lin Zhu with deep affection, his eyes filled with three parts admiration, six parts greed, and a touch of infatuation.

Lin Zhu was disgusted and a strong killing intent erupted from his body.

He has now killed people, although it was only Yuwen Huaji and Fu Junzhuo, but the murderous aura he exudes is no longer just a facade.

Ximen Chuixue sensed it, his eyes twitched twice. This old man has rather heavy tastes; he's in trouble.

Shan Wanjing continued to glare fiercely at Bian Bufu.

"Here we come!"

Behind them, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang arrived on the wind. When Lin Zhu unleashed his overwhelming power, they had already heard the commotion and immediately set off, leaving only Hua Manlou in the wedding procession.

Pi Shouxuan paid no attention to the murderous aura emanating from Lin Zhu. Instead, he looked at the newly arrived Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang and said, "Perfect, everyone's here." He pointed at Lin Zhu and said, "Leave this man to me."

Bian Bufeng moved quickly and met up with Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang.

Xi Ying then stood in front of Ximen Chuixue.

Lin Zhu stood in front of Shan Wanjing without turning her head and said, "Go stand aside and don't cause any trouble."

Although Shan Wanjing harbored intense hatred, she did not lose her rationality and obediently stepped aside.

The two sides tacitly opened up three battlefields.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the seven people acted simultaneously.

Pi Shouxuan's bronze flute thrust straight in, its tip swaying erratically, clearly a technique for striking pressure points. He aimed at all of Lin Zhu's acupoints, intending to capture him alive.

Ignoring everything else, Lin Zhu stretched out his right hand, his arm seemingly boneless, and cleaved vertically with his palm, accurately touching the edge of the bronze flute. With a burst of palm force, he cut through Pi Shouxuan's move, and then transformed his palm into a grappling move, grabbing at Pi Shouxuan's right wrist holding the flute.

The grab was skillful, quick, and accurate. Lin Zhu's three fingers landed on Bi Shouxuan's wrist, and his thumb and little finger followed closely. He released his true energy and was about to crush Bi Shouxuan's hand bones. His move was incredibly ruthless.

Pi Shouxuan was also an experienced Taoist. He pushed his bronze flute, which transformed into a sword that shot straight at Lin Zhu's chest acupoint. Immediately afterward, he struck out with his left palm and kicked out with his right leg, striking the lower three cavities.

Lin Zhu's kick was even faster; he slightly raised his left foot and intercepted the attack mid-air, their legs colliding head-on. He caught the bronze flute with his left hand, gently twisted it, and used the force to strike Bi Shouxuan's left palm.

Their palms struck each other across the bronze flute, releasing a burst of true energy that rippled outwards from the two of them.

The bronze flute, made of an unknown material, withstood the combined force of the two men's palm strikes without sustaining the slightest damage.

Lin Zhu suddenly exerted force with his right hand, gripping Bi Shouxuan's wrist tightly. He unleashed Mingyu True Essence, intending to sever his hand.

Bi Shou Xuan Zhen Yuan protected his body, his right arm trembled, and he tried to break free.

The two exchanged only one blow before beginning their contest of internal strength.

Pi Shouxuan is a veteran grandmaster, older than Zhu Yuyan, and at the peak of grandmaster level, with profound skills.

Lin Zhu was no less impressive. Although he was only a mid-stage Grandmaster, his Mingyu True Essence was well-controlled, making him least afraid of internal energy contests. With the added benefit of the Longevity Technique's Water Flow Chapter, his energy rebounded incredibly quickly, and his breath was long and sustained.

The two men held their hands firmly together, but their feet were locked in a fierce battle, kicking out frequently with explosive force.

To the east, Bian Bufu fought alone against Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang.

A strange force manipulated the two silver rings to fly around, multitasking as they repeatedly attacked their opponent.

Lu Xiaofeng seized the opportunity, extended two fingers, and firmly clamped the silver ring.

Chu Liuxiang's palm strikes were like banners fluttering in the wind, powerful yet subtle, each strike sending the ring flying back.

After exchanging a few blows, Bian Bufu realized that although these two were only half-step Grandmasters, their combat strength was already comparable to that of experts who had just entered the Grandmaster realm.

The only thing lacking now is the accumulation of skill.

"Very good, very good! The land of China is indeed full of outstanding talents. Are you two interested in joining my Holy Sect?" Bian Bufu's interest in talent was piqued.

Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang said in unison, "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but we cannot accept the offer of joining your esteemed sect."

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences." Bian Bufu put on silver rings, leaving an afterimage in his original position, and instantly appeared in front of Chu Liuxiang, striking down with a palm.

Chu Liuxiang was prepared. He pushed forward with his right foot and retreated rapidly. He flicked his fingers, and streams of true energy transformed into points of energy that shot towards Bian Bufu.

Lu Xiaofeng moved his feet and pointed his right hand at Bian Bufu's back.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for." Bian Bufu feigned an attack on Chu Liuxiang, but his real target was Lu Xiaofeng. He turned and struck backward with a palm, sending a silver ring flying out with a burst of energy.

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up. He spread two fingers apart and clamped the silver ring, using the force to propel himself backward through the air.

Bian Bufeng swept his other hand horizontally, and the energy transformed into a wall of energy, blocking the finger-flicking force emitted by Chu Liuxiang in front of him. With another spin, another silver ring flew out and attacked Lu Xiaofeng in the air.

"Brother Lu, be careful!" Chu Liuxiang shouted a warning.

At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng's old strength had dissipated and new strength had not yet been generated. His right hand was also holding the first silver ring, making it impossible for him to block this series of attacks.

A thought struck him, and he flipped in mid-air, kicking out with his right foot. His sole touched the silver ring, propelling him forward. The other three fingers of his right hand shot out, transforming a sword-like gesture into a claw, and he grabbed the silver ring, preventing it from escaping.

After tumbling three and a half times in the air, I landed and took a few steps back to dissipate the force, my right foot feeling slightly numb.

Bian Bufeng leaped up and caught the other silver ring, saying, "The Spirit Rhinoceros Finger truly lives up to its name."

Chapter 49 Bian Bufu: I've been sold out

On the other side, the battle between Ximen Chuixue and Xi Ying was equally exciting.
