The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 167: Dragon Elephant vs. Dragon Subduing (asking for monthly ticket)
Ten miles south of Lujiazhuang, the densely packed rice fields are filled with vibrant green.

The densely packed rice seedlings are stretching their leaves vigorously in the breeze, trying to obtain more energy from the summer sun and grow their roots deeper to absorb more nutrients.

By autumn, these tender seedlings will produce plump rice grains.

However, accidents always come unexpectedly. A fierce force of energy suddenly came and swept through the rice field. The strong airflow uprooted the tender seedlings.

boom! boom! boom!
The sounds of fierce fighting could be heard from time to time above the rice fields. Two old and agile figures moved around in the fields, colliding with each other from time to time, causing a green wave in the rice fields.

It is said that there are four great joys in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and being named on the list of successful candidates in the imperial examination.

Hong Qigong had not experienced the other three things so he could not comment on them, but as for meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Hong Qigong was very sure at this moment that this was not a happy event.

Two months ago, in order to hunt down the Five Ugly Men of Tibet, he chased them all the way from western Sichuan to Huashan. Finally, when the five ugly men gathered together, he killed them all in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, he headed eastward to Jiaxing, preparing to support Guo Jing's heroic conference.

Unexpectedly, his old problem recurred on the way and he was delayed for a long time by a dish of braised mutton. No matter how hard he tried, he still arrived late.

Thinking that it was already too late, a day or two wouldn't matter, Hong Qigong shot a pheasant last night and prepared to make a beggar's chicken to reward himself.

Just as the chicken was about to be cooked, the crazy old man Ouyang Feng appeared out of nowhere and tried to snatch his beggar's chicken.

Could Hong Qigong tolerate this? Besides, the chicken wasn't ready yet. Wouldn't it be a waste of a good dish if he took it out now?

Hong Qigong tried to stop him, but how could he reason with a madman, so the two of them started fighting.

Unexpectedly, the old madman Ouyang Feng became more and more excited as the fight went on, and he kept pestering Hong Qigong. As a result, the two of them started fighting from the late night last night until this morning.

"My beggar's chicken, it's probably burnt to charcoal by now, what a pity, what a pity for my golden pheasant!"

boom!
After Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng exchanged palm strikes, Hong Qigong took several steps back to relieve the impact. Ouyang Feng was not in a good situation either, and he rolled several times in the rice field.

"It's fun, it's fun, let's do it again."

Ouyang Feng jumped up from the ground like a toad, looked at Hong Qigong with shining eyes, and rushed towards him again with a crazy laugh.

"Ku Ye! How did I run into this old poisoner?"

Hong Qigong looked at Ouyang Feng who was rushing towards him with a perverted smile on his face, and felt miserable in his heart.

'Why does it seem like this old poisoner's martial arts skills have improved even more after he went crazy?'

"Could it be that going crazy also has a similar effect to the innocent heart?"

Several thoughts flashed through Hong Qigong's mind, but his body moved without the slightest delay. He tapped his feet a few times and flew a distance in the direction of Lujiazhuang before being entangled by Ouyang Feng again.

boom! boom!
In an instant, bursts of energy burst out from the rice fields again.

The short-range explosive power of the Toad Skill is extremely amazing. Hong Qigong tried several times but failed to shake off Ouyang Feng. He could only approach Lujiazhuang little by little.

"This place should be not far from Lujiazhuang. I hope Jing'er and the others can find out what's going on here soon and subdue this old poisoner."

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"Why do you still bite people?"

Just when Hong Qigong thought that the two would continue to fight like this until Guo Jing and others arrived, Ouyang Feng suddenly used a strange move. Even Hong Qigong, who had been in the martial arts world for many years and had fought hundreds of battles, big and small, could not help but exclaim in surprise.

It turned out that when the two were fighting in close combat with their palms clamped together, Ouyang Feng suddenly leaned forward and bit their palms.

Hong Qigong was not prepared at all for Ouyang Feng's sudden move, and a deep cut was made on the lower side of his right palm, and blood flowed out immediately.

Before Hong Qigong could react, Ouyang Feng took a bite and quickly loosened his mouth and retracted his head, then he pushed back a few steps with his palms to create some distance.

"You old lunatic, you're not stupid! You still know how to be afraid."

Hong Qigong looked at the teeth marks on his right hand that were so deep that the bone was visible, and was so angry that he laughed at Ouyang Feng's behavior.

Even for martial artists as powerful as the Five Great Masters, the head is the most vulnerable part of the body. If someone hits him, he can only hope that his descendants will burn more paper money so that he can live more comfortably in the underworld.

If Ouyang Feng had been slower just now, or if Hong Qigong had reacted faster and been more ruthless, Ouyang Feng would probably have become a dead toad.

This was also the reason why Ouyang Feng's sneak attack on Hong Qigong was successful. He really didn't expect that he would do such a powerful thing.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Ouyang Feng leaned forward and got on all fours, posing as a dog. He then circled around Hong Qigong with joyful steps, like a hyena preparing to make the final blow to its wounded prey.

Just when Hong Qigong thought something bad was going to happen, a shrill cry came from behind him.

"Gah~gah~"

A crow covered with colorful black feathers flew over from the direction of Lujiazhuang and circled above their heads.

"Awoo~" When Ouyang Feng saw the crow appear, he seemed to have encountered some natural enemy. He let out a few frightened whimpers from his throat and squatted on the ground without moving.

The sudden change surprised Hong Qigong, and he immediately became cautious and alert.

The bite from Ouyang Feng just now due to his carelessness taught him a lesson. Although he didn't understand what happened, he knew it was right to be careful when he saw Ouyang Feng's expression.

"Master! Master!"

A familiar voice came, and Hong Qigong's tense heart suddenly relaxed.

When he turned around, he saw his disciple Guo Jing and a strange young man flying towards him.

"Roaring Sky Dog! Come here!" Mu Sheng called out to Ouyang Feng who was squatting on the ground.

Ouyang Feng really did run over using all four limbs, circling around and making whimpering sounds like a barking dog.

"Jing'er." Hong Qigong greeted her with some surprise: "How did you know I was here?"

"It was Brother Mu's divine crow that discovered the commotion here and said that Master, you and Ouyang Feng had a fight. I didn't expect it was really you." Guo Jing was also full of surprise when he explained to Hong Qigong.

After the crows fell, they heard the words coming out of Mu Sheng's mouth from time to time, something like Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong were fighting.

With the attitude of preferring to believe it than not, Guo Jing followed Mu Sheng here. Unexpectedly, he actually saw his master Hong Qigong.

"The crow didn't even cry, how did you two pass the message?"

"Could it be possible that this person is really some kind of god descended from heaven?"

Guo Jing recalled Yang Guo's description of his master as a deity who had descended to earth, and also thought of what they had discussed in the pavilion before coming here.

"Could it be that the fate of the Song Dynasty has come to an end, so the gods came down to earth to save the millions of common people?"

"How can there be such a magical skill of controlling birds in this world?" Hong Qigong immediately became curious about this young man whom he met for the first time.

"This allowed you to meet Hong Qigong, what kind of evil fate do you two have?" Mu Sheng patted Ouyang Feng's head.

According to the original plot, Ouyang Feng and Hong Qi would meet at Mount Huashan, and finally fight each other's internal energy, which would lead to exhaustion of energy and death. Originally, because of Mu Sheng's intervention, Ouyang Feng was unable to escape from Mount Huashan and was killed by him. The two of them avoided this death without knowing it.

Unexpectedly, they would meet again in Jiaxing. If Mu Sheng and Guo Jing had not arrived in time, the two of them would probably not have gone back to their old ways.

Although Ouyang Feng became even crazier after Mu Sheng's ordeal, it is undeniable that his martial arts skills have become more powerful than before.

Judging from the current situation, Hong Qigong is already injured. If this continues, there is a high probability that Ouyang Feng will seriously injure Hong Qigong and kill him.

Speaking of the name Ouyang Feng, I'm going crazy. I'm going crazy?
This name is really unlucky!

"Master, let me introduce you to this, this is Mu Sheng from the Ancient Tomb Sect. Brother Mu's horizontal external skills have reached an unprecedented level, and his body is as strong as steel and cannot be injured by swords or knives."

Guo Jing introduced Mu Sheng's amazing achievements to Hong Qigong in detail, and then introduced Hong Qigong to Mu Sheng.

"Brother Mu, this is my master, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, Hong Qigong."

"How could there be anyone in the martial arts world who doesn't know the name of the Northern Beggar Hong Qigong?" Mu Sheng said with a smile and clasped his fists.

Although he had some conflicts with the Beggars' Sect because of some things before, Mu Sheng has always been a magnanimous person. He has already forgiven those people and would not vent his anger on Hong Qigong.

Liu Sanshui:
Zhong Wujiu:
"Hahaha, it's just some empty reputation. Brother Mu can make this old poisonous creature so obedient, which really makes me, an old beggar, admire him very much," said Hong Qigong with a smile.

After a few more polite words, Mu Sheng suggested: "Let's not talk about polite words. Senior Hong is still injured. Let's go back first."

Afterwards, they headed towards Lujiazhuang, and with their martial arts skills, they returned to Lujiazhuang in a short while.

Guo Jing took Hong Qigong to bandage his wounds. Mu Sheng first found the manager of Lujia Village and asked them to compensate the owners of the rice fields that were destroyed by Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng.

Then he took Ouyang Feng to find Yang Guo and left Ouyang Feng to his adopted son Yang Guo to take care of him.

With the appearance of Hong Qigong and the fact that Mu Sheng had no intention of becoming the thankless leader of the martial arts world, the heroes attending the Heroes Conference soon nominated Hong Qigong as the leader of the martial arts world.

Of course, Hong Qigong is the leader of the martial arts world on paper, but most of the actual affairs are handled by Guo Jing and his wife.

As for Mu Sheng's two-pronged approach, Guo Jing and others agreed after thinking it over for a while, not that they really agreed with Mu Sheng's idea.

But they had no choice but to agree. Even if they disagreed, they couldn't stop Mu Sheng's actions. It would be better to agree so that they could keep an eye on him.

After reaching a consensus, Mu Sheng planned to keep Yang Guo here and let him learn military tactics from Guo Jing for a few years.

As Guo Jing had studied Wu Mu's testament and led troops into battle himself, his understanding of the art of war was at the level of a famous general.

As for Mu Sheng, he planned to leave, but before leaving he wanted to see the power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

A few days later, at a martial arts training ground in Lujia Village.

Mu Sheng, Hong Qigong and Guo Jing, the master and his disciple, stood opposite each other in the middle of the field, while Yang Guo, Huang Rong and others watched the battle at the edge of the field.

As the sun grew brighter, a crow flew up from the eaves, leaving a clear shadow on the ground in the midday sun.

As crows flew across the sky, dark shadows flashed across the open spaces on both sides.

The moment the black shadow flashed by, two loud dragon roars suddenly sounded, and two dragon-shaped energy forces, one on the left and one on the right, flew out from the palms of Guo Jing and Hong Qigong respectively.

During these few days, Hong Qigong also learned about Mu Sheng's inhuman strength from other people. He did not dare to be careless at all, and cooperated with master and disciple Guo Jing tacitly to attack Mu Sheng.

"Well done!"

Mu Sheng said loudly without dodging. With a thought, rich and powerful true energy overflowed from the surface of his body and condensed around his body into the shape of a dragon head, elephant body, dragon claws and elephant trunk.

The monster's dragon head swung, and the elephant trunk made of true qi was thrown out as if it had real weight, and collided with the two dragon-shaped qi forces.

boom!
A strong airflow burst out from where the internal energy and true energy roared, sweeping the dust in the venue and spreading it in all directions.

Two Qi attacks from the top masters in the Condor Heroes world were instantly dispersed, and the monster's trunk became tattered.

Guo Jing and Hong Qigong looked at each other, then rushed towards Mu Sheng at the same time, their palms flying everywhere, and the extremely powerful Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were continuously struck out in their hands.

In an instant, dozens of dragon-shaped energy forces appeared in the martial arts training ground, forming a large net, and besieged Mu Sheng from all directions.

Faced with the unavoidable attack, scales suddenly appeared on the body of the True Qi Dragon Elephant. The scales overlapped and looked like a natural armor.

The dragon elephant brandished its fangs, swung its trunk and launched a savage charge. Amid the vibrations of its true energy, one could almost hear the roar of an unyielding elephant.

Boom boom boom!
Continuous sounds of energy explosions were heard in the training ground. Dozens of dragon-shaped energy energies were dissipated, and the body of the armored dragon elephant became tattered.

"Before the eleventh level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra is fully refined, this fighting method is still too disadvantageous."

Mu Sheng's mind moved, and the broken Qi dragon elephant instantly disintegrated, gathered towards Mu Sheng's body, and turned into a golden film that tightly adhered to his skin.

At the same time, Guo Jing and Hong Qigong no longer used dragon-shaped energy, but gathered their internal energy in their palms, flew forward and struck Mu Sheng's vital points.

Mu Sheng clenched his palms into fists and struck left and right with the equally strong and masculine Killing Whale Fist, while parrying the attacks from the two men.

Bang bang bang!
There was not much change or release of force, even the slightest bit of energy was gathered in the fists, making a dull collision sound.

Although it did not have the majestic momentum of the previous one, the power between the fists and palms was even greater.

"Qiang'er is strong! Qiang'er has strong teeth!"

"Both father and master can't beat him?"

"It was right not to let Brother Jing have a conflict with this person."

"Da Wu and Xiao Wu really need to be disciplined in the future. We can't go on like this."

"."

Not to mention the various emotions of the people watching the fight, the three people fighting fiercely in the field became more and more passionate, and their blood boiled as the fight went on.

After a fierce battle, Guo Jing and Hong Qigong felt that their martial arts had improved again. Mu Sheng was also using his mental power to scan and observe the circulation of internal energy in Guo Jing and Hong Qigong.

That’s right, Mu Sheng’s mental power is now able to scan internal energy. This change only occurred after he began to refine the eleventh level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra.

It was as if an internal energy plug-in was installed in the mental power, and the internal energy that was originally unobservable now unveiled itself in front of him.

After a long time, Mu Sheng decided to end the fight after noticing that Guo Jing and Hong Qigong were a little slow in their movements.

"Convince others with virtue!"

Mu Sheng's fists became more and more powerful, easily defeating the defenses of Guo Jing and Hong Qigong and knocking them both flying. After they landed, they took several steps back before stopping.

The outcome is decided!

The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms can subdue a real dragon, but it cannot subdue Mu Sheng, an ancient dragon-elephant who is like a prehistoric behemoth!
