Holy Fist!

Chapter 424 Hurry up and move your legs, you'll definitely be killed!
Under the influence of a pure heart.

He has mastered the basics of both secret martial arts techniques.

On the retina, the Martial Arts Master profession panel quietly appeared.

[Skill: Elephant King's Spit-In Attack (1/600)] +
[Skill: Introduction to the Asura Illustrated Manual (1/700)] +
Both are top-tier secret martial arts. The Elephant King's Breathing Exercise is an internal cultivation method that continuously strengthens the body with each breath, while the Asura Diagram is an evolved version of a terrifying secret martial art. To master them, a large number of potential points are required. The White Owl Dark Red Modifier currently does not have enough potential points.

You can only choose one subject and improve a portion of it.

"Dark red."

With a thought, a sky full of red sunset light descended before his eyes.

[Dark Red Modifier]

Potential point: August 75.8

"First, improve the Elephant King's breathing technique."

Bai Xiao quickly made a decision after a moment's thought.

Immediately, he took out three bottles of pills needed for cultivating the Elephant King's Breathing Technique. Each bottle contained dozens of pills refined from precious medicinal herbs. Normally, just one pill would sustain one's cultivation for half a month to a month. But now, Bai Xiao had taken out a full hundred pills.

"That should be enough."

He immediately opened the bottle, ignoring the pungent medicinal smell, and swallowed the entire bottle of red pills as if they were candy. Almost instantly, the rich, intense medicinal power exploded in his stomach.

"Elevate, Elephant King's Breathing."

A red halo enveloped the class panel, and the skill status bar was slightly distorted.

After a while.

Before my eyes, patches of black writing appeared clearly.

[Your profession "Martial Arts Master" has been upgraded to +325 experience!]

[Your skill "Elephant King's Breathing Technique" has gained 2700 experience points!]

Your skill "Elephant King's Spit-In" has been upgraded to "Mastery"!

Bai Xiao exhaled a breath of air containing the smell of medicine, his gaze downwards.

[Skill: Elephant King's Breathing Technique (1/1500)]

[Dark Red Modifier]

Potential point: August 21.8

"Kakakaka..."

He slowly rose, and a series of crisp sounds, like bubbles bursting, emanated from within his body. It was the unusual movement of the powerful medicinal force, enough to sustain him for several years, being forcibly absorbed and devoured by the White Owl Dragon Elephant's body.

It was completely absorbed in just a minute or two.

That powerful body, comparable to a void behemoth, played a huge role.

"It's still quite a distance from perfection."

"It's impossible to directly use the Dragon Heart Imagery to enhance and strengthen the Dragon Elephant True Scripture."

Bai Xiao muttered to himself, but he was not discouraged at all.

He slowly raised his head, his deep gaze sweeping over the moon, which was obscured by large patches of dark clouds. The sparse starlight grew increasingly dim.

"A dark and windy night..."

……

Late at night, on a highway about a mile away from the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School.

A figure dressed in black had been waiting silently. He stood at a crossroads, where the dim light of the streetlights attracted many mosquitoes.

"call out!"

"call out!"

In the silence, several black cars sped by, their headlights illuminating the surrounding area, which then quickly dimmed again.

"Ok?"

The figure in black suddenly saw a tall man appear in front of him, perhaps in that instant when light and darkness shifted.

His physique was as robust and powerful as an ancient Greek sculpture, exuding a subtle, oppressive aura that made it difficult to breathe. His entire body was wrapped in layers of dark, cold chains, which made his form appear even stronger and more swollen. The chains vibrated eerily with each breath, rubbing and colliding.

"Lord Dark Star!"

The figure in black quickly and respectfully replied.

"Hmm, Youjian, you did a great job this time."

"After tonight, I will report to headquarters on your behalf."

"Where's the mask?"

Dark Star's voice was strangely deep and resonant, as if it carried an echo.

"Thank you, sir!"

The black-clad figure, known as the Ghost Sword, revealed a look of surprise on his face.

Then, he took out the Netherworld Mask that originally belonged to Ghost Mask.

"it's here."

Dark Star slowly picked it up with his left hand, then produced another mask with his right. The two masks were similar in style and aura, with some patterns and lines on the edges being almost identical, but overall they were quite different.

At this moment, the two masks shimmered faintly in the moonlight.

It's as if they are echoing each other, sharing a deep resonance.

Dark Star's eyes flashed, and he placed the two masks together. A bizarre thing happened. The masks instantly merged, blending seamlessly, fusing together at an incredibly fast speed. The mask in his hand became a deeper, richer color, tinged with a jet-black hue. It had a blue face and fangs, terrifying beyond compare.

"really……"

He put away his mask and slowly raised his head.

His gaze seemed to pierce through a kilometer.

We arrived at the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School.

"That must be the spiritual essence power left behind by Lord Youtian..."

"Like other primal forces, it spontaneously transformed into a mask."

After a short silence.

"Sir, shall we charge in now?"

Youjian raised his head and asked.

"No rush, let's wait for Dun Gui, he's on his way too."

Dark Star remained expressionless and unmoved.

"You mean, it's best not to alert them?"

Youjian knew Dungui, a powerful figure within the Court of Evil Ghosts who could conceal his whereabouts and presence, and whose greatest skill was naturally theft.

"Of course I could take direct action, and the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Academy would undoubtedly be wiped out. However, the Dragon Elephant Academy's master, Bai Xiao, is no ordinary figure. According to the latest information, he just defeated a top-tier martial arts master at the martial arts tournament. If I wanted to kill him, it would likely take considerable effort. If it drags on too long and attracts the attention of the Martial Arts Association, or the numerous top-tier martial arts masters gathered in Donghai City for the tournament, even I would be in serious trouble. Therefore, if I can obtain it without bloodshed, it's best not to alert him. If all else fails, I will ultimately take matters into my own hands..."

Dark Star had his own reasons for considering this.

At his level and level, it's impossible for him to act recklessly and kill indiscriminately. Instead, he would consider various factors to minimize the overall risk.

Of course, the main reason is that Bai Xiao has a considerable reputation, and his demonstrated strength is already quite remarkable. Otherwise, Dark Star would have already crushed an ordinary master of a Transcendent Realm sect, just as he had done in the Kingdom of Luca, causing a bloodbath. But not here; this is Donghai City in the Tianxia Federation.

five minutes later.

"Shh!"

In the distance, a figure appeared faintly in the darkness, like a ghost. He wore a long black robe and floated in mid-air.

It was the ghost who had rushed over.

His pale arms, visible beneath the wide sleeves of his robe, bore the distinctive black demonic markings of a killer. A mysterious power surged within them, minimizing his presence.

If you're not careful, you might overlook him.

"Set off."

Everyone has arrived.

With a command from Dark Star, the three figures vanished from their spot in an instant.

at the same time.

In Donghai City, a car drove towards the Longxiang Martial Arts School.

There were two people in the car, both dressed in bright red fighting outfits.

It appears to be a master-disciple relationship.

Behind them, an elderly man with white hair slowly raised his head, revealing a sinister face with features vaguely resembling an eagle, and looked out the window. Since his encounter with Bai Xiao, Qu Yu had returned to his residence, and the more he thought about it, the more unsettled he became. He felt that Canaan's cultivation of the Buddha-Demon Heavenly Heart Technique might have achieved an unprecedented breakthrough. Her teacher's work had been further refined in her hands, perhaps breaking through to that legendary forbidden level.

This stirred an unprecedented greed within Qu Yu.

He doesn't have much time left!

This time, they broke through the deadly barrier to participate in the 13th Martial Arts Tournament.

Isn't it because Qu Yu sensed that he was merely in seclusion and wouldn't be able to break through to the Grandmaster level in the rest of his life? There is great terror between life and death!
"We must obtain a forbidden secret martial art."

Even if there's only a one percent chance!

Qu Yu harbored an extreme obsession and a deep sense of resentment. And all of this manifested in what he was about to do at this very moment.

Keep a close watch and wait for the right opportunity to act.

If you seize just one opportunity, you might reap a rich reward!

……

The night grew deeper, dark clouds gathered, and the moon and stars disappeared.

The Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School was half-lit and half-dark. Some of the facilities and roads were still lit, while other areas, resembling a plaza, were shrouded in darkness. Most of the backyard lights had been turned off early.

While it wasn't quite pitch black.

However, visibility was extremely poor.

However, surveillance cameras are installed at every important location along the wall. These night-vision cameras can capture nighttime scenes as brightly as daytime. The entire area is clearly visible.

However, at some point in the middle of the night...

The footage captured by the camera seemed to be slightly distorted for a moment, but it quickly recovered at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Two minutes later.

The backyard of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School.

The Ghost Sword once broke in and reached the last area.

"grown ups."

"Of all the places in this area, there's only one I haven't explored yet."

Three figures suddenly appeared on an open space. The Ghostly Imp, draped in a wide black robe, dissipated his power, while the Ghostly Sword pointed at a distant building and spoke softly.

Those tall buildings were located directly above Bai Xiao's most important secret chamber.

Below are the essence of jade ore and the crystal lotus platform for enlightenment.

"Right there."

Dark Star, who had always been as cold and silent as an iron tower, took out the hideous ghost mask in his hand, and the frequency of its flashing and responding clearly increased.

It was clearly the Netherworld Mask resonating with the power of the source.

"Walk."

Three powerful figures sprang into action once more, heading directly towards the cluster of buildings. They split up to search, determined to obtain the second Mother Mask!

"Sssssssssss..."

On the far right of the complex, the Ghost floated in mid-air, almost silently, with only the slight movement of his robes against the air. He glanced up at the faintly visible moon, raised his pale hand, removed his black hood, revealing a pale face that was almost translucent. A multicolored black light enveloped him, and he vanished instantly.

It exudes a magnificent yet deadly aura.

The building has one floor.

The Ghostly Demon took out the Netherworld Mask from his robes and began his search based on the speed of the resonance frequency over a short period. Slowly, he walked towards the left side of the building, where it seemed to be a study, the door of which was still open and bright.

The ghost went straight inside and began searching again.

The Netherworld Mask was flashing at an extremely fast pace, indicating that the Mother of Masks was nearby. However, no matter how hard he searched, he still couldn't find her.

"That can't be right, it must be nearby!"

The ghost darted forward in the darkness, then suddenly there was a loud thud.

It looked like he bumped into something.

A tall, hard, and cold wall?

The demon raised its head, its pupils contracting sharply. Standing before it was a towering, imposing figure, like a rigid statue, motionless in the darkness. A black-patterned mithril mask covered its face.

Its fangs are ferocious, making it look like a demon.

The Ghost Demon was undoubtedly a master at concealing his aura and presence. But at this moment, looking at the man before him, he had to address him as a Grandmaster. The man's aura was completely concealed, making him appear utterly lifeless!
When did he get here?

"Could it be that they were in the room from the beginning, watching me search all along...?"

The ghost felt a chill run down its spine, a sense of inexplicable dread washing over it.

"Are you looking for this?"

Ahead, a tall figure in a black and gold fighting suit slowly raised his large hand and removed the mask from his face, revealing a cold and indifferent face.

"You are……"

"The Dragon Elephant Pavilion Master!!!"

The ghost's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed in horror.

"Good, you got it right."

A sinister smile appeared on Bai Xiao's face.

"There is a reward."

next second.

"BOOM!!!!!!"

A massive explosion shattered the silence of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School's backyard. A fireball, expanding to tens of meters in diameter, blasted the left side of the building into fragments, scattering reinforced concrete like petals from a shower of flowers.

"call out!"

midair.

The demon was instantly and mercilessly killed in a single encounter, torn apart by the terrifying strength of the dragon and elephant. All his prized abilities proved utterly ineffective. The murderous demon's powerful, immortal body disintegrated and shattered into pieces.

There was only a screaming head, its expression contorted.

It seemed as if a desperate cry still lingered in his mouth.

"what!!!"

"what happened?"

From the side, in the nearest building, a figure in a black bodysuit, Youjian, rushed out, only to collide head-on with the flying ghost's head. With a thud, he froze, looking down at the head in his hand.

That face was clearly that of a demon!

"The Ghost is dead?"

"who is it?!"

Just as he was filled with surprise and doubt.

Bang.

The head in Youjian's hand exploded, as if it couldn't withstand the remaining terrifying dragon-elephant power, and burst open like a watermelon that had fallen to the ground.

A thick cloud of blood mist rose up.

In this fog, the sky and the moon seemed to have turned blood red.

For some reason, in that instant, alarm bells went off all over Youjian's body. Goosebumps erupted all over his skin, every cell in every organ and tissue screaming, "Run!" It was the instinct for survival!
Youjian abruptly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the blood mist, and he was startled to see a tall figure emerging from the building ahead. The figure's outline was blurry, but its imposing aura was overwhelming. The stench of blood hissed and rose, like thousands of scarlet snakes spreading through the air, staining the earth crimson.

"despair."

"despair."

"despair."

The blood-red figure moved, its slow steps drawing ever closer, inch by inch.

"Get moving, you dead leg!"

Youjian cried out inwardly in uncontrollable anxiety. But his body seemed to be out of his control, completely paralyzed by fear of a higher-level predator. That primal fear made it impossible for him to take a step; even moving a limb was a thousand times more difficult.

And so, Youjian watched helplessly as Bai Xiao approached him.

At that moment, he thought of the ghost who had just died, and despair filled his heart.

"I'm next."

"I'll...I'll definitely be killed!"
