secret dice.

Chapter 774 Since we've already torn off all pretense, you might as well stay!
As the words "ruthless under the palm" were uttered, the killing intent emanating from the Nine Provinces Beggar surged. Unlike the indiscriminate venting of his anger last time, this time the killing intent was directed directly at the Hundred Patches Sect, especially targeting the girl in red!

In an instant, the girl's sleeves moved without wind, fluttering loudly, and she was forced back a few steps by the murderous aura!
Is this the aura of a feathered being? Before even starting the attack, the killing intent alone can have a substantial impact on the environment!

Now, even the usually arrogant girl's expression turned serious. She held her twin swords horizontally in front of her chest and became fully alert!
"Girl, are you ready?" The Beggar of the Nine Provinces snorted coldly, suddenly tapped the ground with his feet, and transformed into a blur, instantly rushing in front of the girl and raising his palm to strike down!

Seeing this, the girl in red crossed her two knives, like scissors, and slashed at the beggar's wrist!
The Beggar God's protective aura was thick and powerful, impervious to swords and spears, but when it encountered the blades of these two curved swords, it was as easy as tofu, being cut through them!

you can!

The girl was thrilled. Her twin blades were called the Dual Blades of Shattering Qi. They were divine weapons forged by the sect leader using supreme secret techniques after listening to divine instructions. They could break through all the qi in the world!
Despite her extraordinary talent, at this age, she had only just broken through to the peak. Her confidence in the pair of treasured swords she wielded stemmed from her audacity in daring to challenge Yu Hua. Initially, she was somewhat apprehensive about the Divine Beggar's palm strike, but now it seemed she could even break through Yu Hua's protective aura!

But this joy lasted only a moment before the beggar's hand changed from a palm to a claw, his five fingers spread wide, and he grabbed her twin swords!

what happened? !
The girl in red was terrified and instinctively tried to pull the knife back, but the blade seemed to be forged in the hands of the beggar god, and no matter how hard she tried, it wouldn't budge!

"Little girl, your twin swords are indeed quite interesting." The Beggar of the Nine Provinces chuckled coldly, "But unfortunately, although they can break through the protective energy, they cannot eliminate it. As long as you hold the blades, you are powerless!"

The girl in red gritted her teeth, raised her leg, and kicked the beggar in the crotch!
Faced with this sneak attack, the beggar simply sneered, unleashed his inner energy, and kicked the girl back!
"Your feet don't have the ability to break through qi, do they?"

As he spoke, he raised his other hand and struck the girl in the abdomen. With a loud bang, the force spread out and tore the girl's red dress to shreds. She was hit hard and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her hands could no longer hold the knife, and she flew backward!

Seeing this, Xu Pingfei stepped forward and caught the flying girl in mid-air. However, the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar's skill was extremely profound. As soon as Xu Pingfei touched the girl, he felt a great force coming from her. He also followed the force and retreated about ten feet before dissipating the force and catching the girl steadily.

Looking at the girl, her face was slightly pale, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. After her red clothes were torn, a gold-woven vest was revealed. The gold thread on her abdomen was broken, revealing the outline of a palm. Underneath the gold thread, there were obvious bruises on her abdomen, which should have been caused by the force of the palm.

Clearly, this vest absorbed a lot of the palm strike force; otherwise, even a peak expert would have perished on the spot from being struck so solidly by the force of the feather's attack.

"Cough..." The girl coughed up another mouthful of blood. She broke free from Xu Pingfei because of her competitive spirit, but her legs went weak as soon as she lost her support. She knelt on one knee, clutching her stomach, and gritted her teeth as she looked at the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar opposite her.

Although young, her cultivation talent was unparalleled, reaching the peak of her cultivation at a young age. The sect's elders, including the sect leader, doted on her, treating her like their own daughter. While she had sparred with other Ascension Realm experts within the sect, it was mostly just friendly competition; no one truly fought to the death. This led her to underestimate the Ascension Realm, believing she could contend with immortals with her precious sword. But this time, the Nine Provinces Beggar's palm strike brought her back to reality!

That old beggar was truly vicious. Not only did he steal my precious sword, but if it weren't for the Golden Silkworm Armor protecting me, I would probably have been killed by that palm strike!
The girl in red gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness. The Beggar of the Nine Provinces chuckled coldly: "You witch of the Six Paths Sect, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Your peak realm is not even stable, yet you dare to fight against Yu Hua. Do you really think that with two strange swords in your hands, I can't do anything to you?"

As he spoke, the beggar held a knife in each hand, exerted his strength in both arms, and the blades clashed. With a crack, the pair of Duan Gang swords were broken in two!
Just as the Beggar of the Nine Provinces said, although these two swords could ignore the protective energy, they could not eliminate it. When he held the two swords, he could still stimulate the protective energy and unleash the power of the Feather Transformation level. Although the two swords were sturdy, they could not withstand the impact of the Feather Transformation level power and broke on the spot!
Upon seeing the precious sword destroyed, the girl screamed in anguish, her heterochromatic eyes trembling slightly, almost as if they were about to bleed!
"However, the ability to create such a miraculous weapon also proves that your Six Paths Sect has indeed mastered the technology to counter Qi." The Beggar of the Nine Provinces sneered, "No wonder Old Qi of the Heavenly Gate suffered a setback at your headquarters. In this light, the ability of those four guys to be completely immune to, and even eliminate, Qi after combining must also come from your Six Paths Sect!"

"What did you say?" the girl asked, puzzled. "What, four guys combined?"

"No need to play dumb with this old beggar!" The Nine Provinces Beggar threw away the broken blade in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the girl and the Bai Na Sect members behind her: "Now, the collusion between the Bai Na Sect and the Six Paths Sect is confirmed. I will now purge the traitor from the Central Plains martial arts world!"

As he spoke, he shook his palms, and his powerful qi formed two strong vortexes that swirled around his body like two giant dragons. The wind pressure alone caused the hems of the clothes of the people opposite him to flutter.

"As for that kid surnamed Luo, he can run away but he can't hide. I don't believe he'll never come back!"

"boom!"

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the woods, and at the same time, the protective aura in front of the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar suddenly began to fluctuate violently.

The beggar frowned and looked closely. He saw a bullet, blocked by qi, spinning in mid-air just a few feet in front of him.

"What kind of hidden weapon is this? It's so fast!" The beggar narrowed his eyes, but then, several more gunshots rang out, and more bullets stopped in front of him, but were all blocked by his internal energy.

Upon seeing this, the members of Bainamen all turned around and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

This is gunfire!

The Beggar God had never seen a musket before, but they recognized them and knew that it must have been an explorer from the main world who had made the move. But who on earth had such a big order that they dared to fire a gun at Yu Hua to provoke him?
"Who's playing tricks here!" the Beggar God sneered, raising his hand and unleashing a palm strike in the direction the bullet had come from. Being a master of martial arts, his powerful aura, though primarily martial arts-based, was strong enough to penetrate into the forest a hundred meters away. With a deafening boom, trees exploded, branches and leaves flying everywhere.

At the same time, a figure suddenly darted out of the woods and landed in front of the Bai Na Men group and the injured girl in red.

"Old beggar, didn't you say you were looking for me? I'm here. Let's settle things face to face!"

When the Beggar of Kyushu saw him, his eyes lit up immediately. The members of the Hundred Pieces Sect were all surprised and exclaimed, "Luo Jun?! When did you come back?"

Only the girl in red looked bewildered, thinking to herself, "Is this the person they've been talking about? He looks about my age, maybe even younger, and he dares to provoke Yu Hua!"

The sect leader always taught her that there was an insurmountable gap between Ascension and the Peak Realm, warning her never to provoke someone at the Ascension Realm. At first, she didn't take it seriously, but after receiving a palm strike from the Nine Provinces Beggar, she finally fully realized the power of Ascension and understood the sect leader's good intentions…

"Be careful...this old man's palm strike is incredibly powerful!" The girl propped herself up and warned through gritted teeth.

"It's alright, I'm not going to fight him with my palm strikes!" Luo Jun chuckled. Xu Pingfei, standing behind the girl, also reminded her, "Luo Jun, he's a master of the Feather Transformation realm. Don't be impulsive, and be mindful of the impact on the martial arts world..."

Luo Jun shook his head: "President Xu, they've already come knocking on our door, accusing us of colluding with the evil cult. If we let them go, it will have a bad impact."

"Let him go?" Xu Pingfei was taken aback. "You wouldn't be...?"

Luo Jun chuckled and looked back at Xu Pingfei and the girl in red: "If we kill him here, who will know that we really had contact with the Six Paths Sect?"

Hearing this, everyone was a little confused. Was this kid speaking the Chinese language? Here? To kill a Yu Hua?
"Hehehe..." The Beggar of Kyushu let out a cold laugh: "I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said... It's been hundreds of years since I've heard anyone speak to me like that."

"Don't misunderstand!" Luo Jun turned around and waved his hand at the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar: "I didn't say those words to you just now. I was just explaining them to them. I don't need to specifically tell you about this kind of thing."

The Beggar of the Nine Provinces frowned: "What do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is," Luo Jun smiled slightly, "whether I kill you or not is none of your business."

"You brat, you're asking for it!"

Completely enraged, the Nine Provinces Beggar suddenly launched himself forward with lightning speed, pushing off with his feet!
"So fast!" Xu Pingfei and the girl in red stared wide-eyed. They could still barely make out the figure of the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar, but they were certain that they wouldn't be able to dodge such an attack if they were face to face! As for the others who hadn't reached their peak yet, they couldn't even see them clearly!
Facing the menacing Nine Provinces Beggar, Luo Jun's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He suddenly raised his hand, aimed Buster's Song at the beggar's forehead, adjusted it to the highest level of ammunition with a hundred breaths of energy, and fired!
boom!
The bullet whistled out with astonishing kinetic energy, and the moment it fired, the ground behind Luo Jun's heels suddenly bulged up due to the recoil!
Just now, he fired a bullet at a distance of only ten breaths. This time, he used the strongest hundred-breath bullet, which increased in power by more than ten times. Even the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar's qi was unable to withstand it for a moment, and the bullet shot straight towards his brow!

"So fast, so powerful!" The beggar was startled. Having just been hit by those spears, he mistakenly believed that Luo Jun's spear was only at this level. After all, he had seen many strange and wonderful hidden weapons in the martial world, but few could cause his internal energy to surge, let alone fire them in succession. Who would have thought that, upon reaching him, the hidden weapon's power would increase tenfold, catching him completely off guard!
Don't underestimate a bullet made of this hundred breaths of energy. Luo Jun only realized after firing the shot that, due to the caliber of the pistol, no matter how much energy was used to generate the bullet, the final size of the bullet was about the same, and there were no extra special effects. The only difference was the material and speed of the bullet!

But it is precisely because there are no fancy extra features that this bullet achieves the ultimate in penetrating power!

The bullets fired in the previous ten breaths were already enough to make the Divine Beggar's internal energy surge; now, the power of these hundred-breath bullets is even more terrifying!
Imagine if a single cannonball from the Horizontal Cannon were condensed into the size of a bullet—how powerful its penetrating force would be!

But even such a powerful bullet still failed to completely penetrate the Divine Beggar's protective aura!

As a martial arts master, the Divine Beggar is most proud of the strength of his Qi. In order to combine hardness and flexibility, most martial arts masters' Qi is relatively softer towards the outer layer and relatively harder towards the inner layer!

Therefore, when he saw the bullet pierce through the outer layer of protective energy, the Beggar of the Nine Provinces was only surprised, but not panicked. Sure enough, when the bullet reached within a foot of him, it finally could not go any further!
That's all the skill he has!

The beggar sneered inwardly and was about to get closer when he saw Luo Jun opposite him with an inscrutable smile on his lips. Then, he saw Luo Jun flick his finger, and another bullet was fired from the muzzle of his gun!
In the blink of an eye, the clash between the two warriors was incredibly fast. Although it was said to be two shots, when Luo Jun fired the second shot, the flame from the first shot hadn't even dissipated. To an ordinary person, it would be impossible to tell that it was two shots!
At this moment, the two were only a few meters apart. The bullet hit the beggar in an instant, hitting the back of the first bullet precisely!

With the push of the second shot, the first bullet was propelled forward another inch!
Is it a coincidence?

That wasn't all. Luo Jun's fingers moved again, and the third, fourth, and fifth shots were fired. The muzzle flashes overlapped, and the bullets chased after each other, all hitting the same line, as if they were skewered on a candied hawthorn, working together to break through the beggar's defense!
Something's wrong! Even the strongest internal energy won't be able to withstand this!
Realizing that his protective energy was being continuously breached, the Divine Beggar hurriedly withdrew his attack and retreated, while simultaneously gathering his own protective energy to strengthen his defense!
But Luo Jun clearly had no intention of letting him go. His fingers were faster than an electric toothbrush as he frantically pulled the trigger. The bullets shot towards the beggar in almost a straight line, constantly tracking his dodges. The gunshots had gone from an instantaneous explosion to a long, drawn-out sound!
Everyone was completely stunned by what they saw. The girl in red couldn't figure out what kind of hidden weapon he was holding. The experts from Bai Na Men recognized it as a pistol, but they had never heard of any automatic firearm with such exaggerated power and rate of fire.

Wait a minute... The most crucial point is that the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar, who had ascended to immortality, was actually forced to retreat!
What exactly is that Noble Phantasm?
