Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 257: Invincibility and Stealing Merits

After being hit by Huang Sixi's Prajna Palm, the Sweeping Monk's face suddenly became solemn, and he was no longer as calm as before.

In the previous fight, the Sweeping Monk had been suppressing Huang Sixi's attacks, and Huang Sixi could only defend passively without the energy to fight back.

But after Huang Sixi used the Prajna Palm, the Sweeping Monk was surprised to find that Huang Sixi already had the means to fight back.

However, Huang Sixi's Prajna Palm was nothing like the one he practiced. The Sweeping Monk recalled the palm force he had just received. It was completely Huang Sixi's using the force of his Prajna Palm to counterattack him.

He already knew that Huang Sixi was proficient in magical skills similar to "The Change of Stars". What Huang Sixi used just now should be the unique skill of "returning the favor in his own way".

He thought: "Even if I cultivate the Murong family's "Fighting Stars" to its peak, it can only return my Prajna Palm power, but it cannot hurt me!"

The Vajra Palm he used was the most powerful palm technique among the 72 Shaolin unique skills. As his internal strength became more and more pure, the power of the Vajra Palm was inexhaustible.

However, the most powerful killing move that the Sweeping Monk can perform is not the Prajna Palm.

He saw that Huang Sixi's skill of 'using the opponent's force to counter attack' had reached perfection and it was futile to use the Prajna Palm again, so he immediately changed his tactics.

I saw him turning his palms in a circle from outside to inside, and then pushing them towards Huang Sixi.

When Qiao Feng saw this palm technique, he immediately warned Huang Sixi: "Brother Huang, be careful! This is the Shaolin unique skill 'One Strike, Two Scattered'. The palm force is extremely fierce, not inferior to the Dragon Subduing Palm at all!"

The so-called 'two scatters' means that when you hit a stone, the stone chips will scatter in all directions, and when you hit a person's body, his soul will scatter. This palm technique has only this one move, which requires overwhelming internal strength as its foundation. Once it is performed, the powerful palm force is definitely stronger than the Prajna Palm.

Xuan Ji, the head monk of Longshu Temple who was watching the fight nearby, heard Qiao Feng's shouting and subconsciously recalled the scene when Qiao Feng broke into Shaolin Temple during the day. At that time, Xuan Ji had hit Qiao Feng hard with "One Strike and Two Parted", and Qiao Feng responded with "The Dragon in Hate Will Regret", and the two sides ended up in a draw.

Xuan Ji couldn't help but be curious. The Sweeping Monk was going to fight Huang Sixi with the threat of "parting in one swoop". Could Huang Sixi withstand it?

All the Shaolin monks believed that if Huang Sixi was hit by the Sweeping Monk's palm, even if Huang Sixi was not seriously injured, his body would definitely not be able to bear it and he would definitely be knocked back by the palm force.

The result surprised everyone.

The Sweeping Monk slapped Huang Sixi's palm, but Huang Sixi stood there motionless. The powerful palm force of "one slap and two scatters" did not cause the slightest effect on Huang Sixi.

After Huang Sixi received the palm strike, he instantly retracted his palm, then pushed it forward again to counterattack the Sweeping Monk.

The Sweeping Monk determined that this palm strike was another "borrowing the opponent's force to counter attack", so he decided not to confront Huang Sixi head-on. He suddenly turned around and went behind Huang Sixi. He lifted up his sleeves, and the internal force came out from the bottom of his sleeves, hitting Huang Sixi's back, trying to push Huang Sixi away.

Xuan Nan, the head monk of Damo Academy, saw the fluttering sleeves of the sweeping monk and knew that this was another unique Shaolin skill, 'The World in the Sleeves'. Xuan Nan himself had studied 'The World in the Sleeves' for many years. It was originally a form of boxing, in which the fist was hidden under the sleeve, and the sleeve was used to cover up the fist power, making it impossible for the enemy to see where the fist was coming from and thus catching the enemy off guard.

Huang Sixi saw the Sweeping Monk change his moves, so he immediately stopped using his palm power and allowed the Sweeping Monk's "World in His Sleeves" fist power to hit his upper body.

After Huang Sixi received this punch, the Sweeping Monk's 'One Strike, Two Scattered' palm power and 'The World in the Sleeve' fist power were already stored in his body.

He used the seventh level of the magical skill of "The Great Shift of the Universe" to combine the palm power and fist power of the Sweeping Monk into one, and then made a palm strike. He turned suddenly and chopped at the Sweeping Monk with his backhand.

The power of this move was too violent. The moment he raised his palm, a strong wind blew in an area of ten meters in radius, and the dust on the ground instantly floated in the air.

The Sweeping Monk sensed Huang Sixi's ferocious palm power, which enveloped him several feet away. He had no chance to escape, so he immediately raised a three-foot-high air wall. At the same time, he swung his arms quickly, lifted up a tattered cassock, and poured his internal force into the cassock, which was like a door panel, blocking in front of him.

When he defended to this point, Huang Sixi's palm power had already struck him.

"Whoosh!"

Huang Sixi broke through the three-foot air wall with one blow. The power of his palm did not stop and continued to advance straight in. With a hissing sound, the sweeping monk's robes were instantly shattered into pieces. The shattered robes looked like dozens of gray butterflies flying up and down.

Huang Sixi's palm pierced through the tattered robes, and "bang!", hitting the sweeping monk's chest, with a few crackling sounds, breaking several ribs.

The old body of the Sweeping Monk retreated several feet uncontrollably.

When he regained his balance, blood spurted out of his mouth.

He was protected by the three-foot air wall and the cassock, and only had a few ribs broken. His internal organs were not seriously damaged. He still possessed considerable combat power.

Huang Sixi seemed to have realized this and did not pursue the victory.

In order for Huang Sixi to comprehend the seventh level of "The Great Shift of the Universe", the Sweeping Monk had to first use his palm and fist power to hit him, so that he could accumulate and superimpose the fierce force just now.

Huang Sixi's "Double Dragons Fetching Water" alone could not hurt the Sweeping Monk at all.

Huang Sixi waited patiently for the next attack from the Sweeping Monk.

But the Sweeping Monk was hit hard by Huang Sixi and vomited blood. How could he dare to continue to attack Huang Sixi with his palms and punches?
The sweeping monk raised his palm with a look of praise on his face, "Young Master Huang, your 'Using Force to Attack' skill is extremely powerful. It can even combine my 'Smash and Break' and 'The World in the Sleeve' to counterattack me! With this unique skill alone, Young Master Huang can be unrivaled in the martial arts world!"

Although he praised Huang Sixi, he still did not admit defeat, because he had now seen the essence of Huang Sixi's "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth". As long as he did not continue to attack Huang Sixi with his palms and fists, Huang Sixi would have no way to accumulate strength to counterattack.

Huang Sixi hoped that he would continue to perform "Parting" and "The World in the Sleeve".

Accumulating and superimposing the palm power of 'One Strike, Two Scattered' and the fist power of 'The World in the Sleeve' is not Huang Sixi's limit. If the Sweeping Monk uses another 'Prajna Palm', Huang Sixi is confident that he can also superimpose the Prajna Palm power.

If Huang Sixi combined "One Strike and Break", "The World in the Sleeve" and "Prajna Palm" into one, then his counterattack could potentially kill the Sweeping Monk directly.

Thinking of this, Huang Sixi sheathed the Dragon Subduing Sword, stretched out his palms towards the Sweeping Monk, and shouted: "Your internal strength is stronger than mine, your punching power is stronger than mine, and your palm skills are also stronger than mine. You can continue to fight, and I will take you all!"

The sweeping monk smiled slightly: "Okay!"

After he said that, he grabbed Huang Sixi in the air, and a stream of air flew out from several feet away and surrounded Huang Sixi's body.

When Qiao Feng saw the Sweeping Monk's grabbing move, he hurriedly shouted to Huang Sixi, "Brother Huang, this is the Shaolin unique skill 'Dragon Capturing Technique'!"

Qiao Feng was extremely surprised and thought, "How many Shaolin martial arts does this old monk know?"

But even though the Sweeping Monk is proficient in many of the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills and has mastered them to perfection, it seems that he still cannot defeat Huang Sixi.

Qiao Feng thought again: "This old monk can subdue me in a few moves, but Brother Huang can injure me. If Brother Huang had insisted on killing me that day in the apricot forest, I would not have survived!"

Only then did Qiao Feng suddenly realize that his martial arts level was far behind Huang Sixi's.

The sweeping monk turned his head and glanced at Qiao Feng: "Young donor Qiao has quite a lot of insight!"

As he spoke, the Sweeping Monk strode up to Huang Sixi and pushed out both palms.

Huang Sixi stretched out his hand to block, and his palm suddenly touched the Sweeping Monk's. The four palms were instantly stuck together and could no longer be separated.

Huang Sixi and the Sweeping Monk sat cross-legged on the ground and entered into a state of meditation.

When Huang Sixi saw that the Sweeping Monk actually wanted to compete with him in internal strength, he really admired the Sweeping Monk's countermeasures.

Huang Sixi has already comprehended the seventh level of "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth". No matter how the Sweeping Monk attacks, he will be counterattacked by Huang Sixi. The only difference is that when it comes to competing in internal strength, Huang Sixi cannot "use the monk's force to counter attack".

However, when it comes to competing in internal strength, Huang Sixi can still be sure of victory.

He had just clashed with the Sweeping Monk when the "Northern Sea Divine Art" in his body started to work.

Two months ago, he infused his body with "Northern Divine Art" and "Lingbo Weibu" from Duan Yu's scroll in the Tianlong Temple in Dali.

At the moment of infusion, Huang Sixi had already mastered "Lingbo Weibu" to perfection, but there was a hidden danger in "Beiming Shengong".

He needs to convert all the internal strength in his body into Beiming Qi in order to unleash the power of "Beiming Divine Art".

After he left Tianlong Temple, on his way east to Jiangnan, he had been converting his internal energy whenever he had time. As early as more than half a month ago, all of his internal energy had been transformed into Beiming Qi.

Now, there are several entrances for absorbing energy on his palms.

The Sweeping Monk used his palms together to compete with him in internal strength, which was just right for Huang Sixi to use the "Northern Divine Art".

The Sweeping Monk sensed the suction coming from Huang Sixi's palm and blurted out, "Young Master Huang has actually mastered the Xiaoyao Sect's Beiming Divine Art. Could it be that you are Wuyazi's disciple?"

Huang Sixi saw that the sweeping monk had revealed Bei Ming's true identity, so he asked, "Do you know Wuyazi?"

The sweeping monk smiled and said, "More than knowing each other, I have had a martial arts competition with Wuyazi in my early years. I know how to resist the "Northern Sea Divine Art". As long as I use the "Bodhi Heart Method" to gather my true energy, stabilize my internal strength, and keep my mind as clear as a mirror, you will be difficult to shake!"

Huang Sixi raised the corner of his mouth: "Now I am the attacker and you are the defender. Let's give it a try to see if you can block my Bei Ming Divine Art!"

The Sweeping Monk actually still had a question that he hadn't figured out. The magical skill of 'borrowing the opponent's force to counter attack' that Huang Sixi had just used was clearly not the same as the Bei Ming Qi.

There seemed to be two internal forces in Huang Sixi's body, one was the Beiming Qi, and the other was the extremely strong and yang Qi. But as far as the Sweeping Monk knew, as long as one practiced the Beiming Qi, no other Qi could exist in the body, otherwise the Qi would clash and one would definitely go astray.

How did Huang Sixi make the Beiming Qi and alien Qi coexist in his body?

The Sweeping Monk was confused but did not delve into it because he was currently in critical situation and had to concentrate all his energy on practicing the Bodhicitta Dharma to resist the invasion of Huang Sixi's Beiming Qi.

In this way, Huang Sixi and the Sweeping Monk sat cross-legged on the ground, their four palms intersected, and began a contest of internal strength.

The Shaolin monks who were watching the fight from the outside were all curious about who was stronger. Abbot Xuanci stood at the front of the monks and recalled the battle between Huang Sixi and the Sweeping Monk.

Abbot Xuan Ci was surprised to find that the Sweeping Monk had already used the Yi Jin Jing, Vajra Body Protection Magic Kung Fu, Flower Picking Finger, Arhat Fist, Vajra Fist, Dragon Claw Hand, Vajra Prajna Palm, One Strike Two Apart, The World in the Sleeve, Kasaya Subduing Demons Kung Fu, Dragon Capturing Kung Fu, and Bodhi Mind Method among the 72 unique skills of Shaolin Temple.

A total of twelve Shaolin skills.

According to legend, among the eminent monks of Shaolin Temple throughout the ages, there was once one who mastered thirteen unique skills and was known as the "Thirteen-Unrivaled Divine Monk". Shaolin Temple had been built for hundreds of years, and there was only such a person.

Abbot Xuanci thought incredulously: "Could it be that this great and holy monk has become on par with the 'Thirteen Supreme Divine Monks'?"

Thinking of this, Abbot Xuanci suddenly felt frustrated again: "Even if the 'Thirteen Supreme Divine Monks' are able to defeat the 'Medium Divine Power' Young Master Huang, the great and virtuous monk just said that Young Master Huang is invincible, so this must be true!"

Abbot Xuanci was thinking about something when he heard a young monk beside him ask, "Abbot, can Hero Huang defeat that holy monk?"

Abbot Xuanci turned his head and found that the young monk was Zhiyuan, a disciple of the Zhi generation. However, there was a faint fragrance emanating from Zhiyuan, which was not like that of a man.

Abbot Xuanci began to doubt Zhiyuan's identity.

Abbot Xuanci was about to ask Zhiyuan something when he saw a female figure in white suddenly fall from the sky and land next to the unconscious Murong Bo.

The female figure in white was wearing a veil, so her features could not be seen clearly, but her skills were quite profound. She stood next to Murong Bo and sent out two palm strikes from several feet away, hitting Huang Sixi and the Sweeping Monk respectively.

When Abbot Xuanci saw the white-clothed female figure launching a sneak attack, he quickly leaped and landed behind the Sweeping Monk to defend the Sweeping Monk from the air-splitting palm.

But the palm power of the white-clothed female figure was extremely strange. When she reached the front of Abbot Xuanci, she suddenly turned, went around the side of Abbot Xuanci, and hit the Sweeping Monk with one blow.

The other palm of the white-clothed female figure also turned in mid-air and hit Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi felt the palm wind coming at him, and quickly used the seventh level of "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" to store the palm force, then pushed in the opposite direction, directly knocking the Sweeping Monk away.

However, the female figure in white had been lurking nearby for a long time, and she already knew that Huang Sixi possessed the magical skill of "borrowing the opponent's force to counter attack".

The moment she raised her palm, she pulled out a crystal dagger from her waist. The dagger was crystal clear and no more than a foot long. She raised her arm and swung it towards Huang Sixi.

The young monk Zhiyuan, who was standing next to Abbot Xuanci, saw the white-clothed female figure shooting the dagger and could not help but shouting, "Master Huang, be careful!"

The young monk Zhiyuan flew out and stood behind Huang Sixi. The crystal dagger pierced Zhiyuan's chest all the way to the handle.

Zhi Yuan groaned and collapsed at Huang Sixi's feet.

Huang Sixi lowered his head and glanced at Zhiyuan. The scream that Zhiyuan made just now was clearly a female voice, and it looked very much like Ah Zhu that Huang Sixi had seen during the day.

Huang Sixi immediately understood: "Azhu did not leave Shaolin Temple, she disguised herself as this little monk!"

Huang Sixi originally wanted to fight back against the female figure in white.

But when he looked forward, he saw a female figure in white carrying Murong Bo, using the "Lingbo Weibu" footwork to quickly flee out of the Shaolin Temple.

If Huang Sixi started the pursuit now, he would be sure to catch up with the white-clothed woman and Murong Bo, but Ah Zhu might be in danger.

Ah Zhu was pierced through the chest by a dagger. The dagger contained the powerful internal energy of the white-clothed female figure. Ah Zhu's internal organs must have been more severely injured.

Huang Sixi abandoned the white-clothed female figure, stepped forward to pick up Ah Zhu, and flicked his fingers to press Qiao Feng's acupuncture points: "Let's go! Let's leave the temple!"

Huang Sixi planned to rescue Ah Zhu first, and then come back to settle the old score after Ah Zhu recovered from her injuries.

Qiao Feng immediately jumped up. He looked around and found that Abbot Xuanci and dozens of Shaolin monks had surrounded the Sweeping Monk, protecting him like an iron barrel.

The decisive battle tonight can no longer continue.

Qiao Feng picked up Xiao Yuanshan and followed Huang Sixi.

Qiao Feng caught up with Huang Sixi at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain and asked curiously, "Brother Huang, who was that woman in white just now? Do you know?"

"she?"

Huang Sixi has already guessed the identity of the female figure in white: "The splitting palm she just performed is the Xiaoyao Sect's "White Rainbow Divine Palm". She should be the Xixia Queen Mother Li Qiushui!"

Huang Sixi’s guess was not wrong at all, the female figure in white was none other than Li Qiu Shui.

Li Qiushui took Murong Bo and fled from Shaolin Temple, running for dozens of miles in one breath. Only when Li Qiushui confirmed that Huang Sixi was not chasing them did she rest temporarily on the top of a mountain.

She looked at the unconscious Murong Bo, and suddenly activated the "Northern Divine Art", pressed one palm on the top of Murong Bo's head, and began to absorb Murong Bo's internal energy.

A month ago, the Child-Girl of Tianshan met the Xixia general Helian Tieshu outside the apricot forest. The Child-Girl cut off one of Helian Tieshu's arms and asked Helian Tieshu to go to the Xixia Palace to pass on a message in order to lure Li Qiushui to leave the palace.

After reporting to Helian Tieshu, Li Qiushui really left the palace and rushed to Zhongzhou.

But Li Qiushui understood the gap in martial arts between herself and Tong Lao, so she did not go directly to Leigushan Mountain, but hid in the Shaolin Temple near Leigushan Mountain.

Li Qiushui planned to capture a Shaolin monk and absorb his inner strength with the "Northern Divine Art". When her inner strength reached a sufficient level, she would go to compete with Tong Lao.

Unexpectedly, Li Qiu Shui happened to watch the battle between Huang Sixi and the Sweeping Monk. When she saw Huang Sixi and the Sweeping Monk competing in internal strength, she quietly launched a sneak attack. If she could seriously injure both of them, capture them and absorb their internal strength, Li Qiu Shui felt that she would definitely be invincible in the world.

As a result, Li Qiu Shui's goal was not achieved. She launched a sneak attack with all her strength, but only injured the Sweeping Monk, but did not hurt Huang Sixi at all.

Li Qiu Shui decisively evacuated Shaolin Temple. Before leaving, she captured Murong Bo, not for the purpose of rescuing him, but to steal Murong Bo's lifelong skills.

When Li Qiushui finished stealing the power, Murong Bo slowly woke up. He realized that his internal power had been sucked away, and he became a useless man. He looked at Li Qiushui with anger and hatred: "You bitch stole my life's power, you are so vicious!"

Li Qiushui smiled coldly: "I brought you out of Shaolin Temple, which saved your life. How dare you blame me?"

When Murong Bo saw the murderous intent in Li Qiu Shui, he rolled on the ground, fell from the cliff on the top of the mountain, and fell into the bottom of the cliff.

Li Qiu Shui looked down the cliff and concluded that Murong Bo would definitely not survive, so she went down the mountain alone.

Just as she reached the foot of the mountain, Li Qiu Shui suddenly heard an excited male voice reaching her ears.

"Fairy sister!"

The male voice was not someone else's, but Duan Yu from Dali.

A month ago, Duan Yu escorted Mu Wanqing back to Dali. On the way, he met Duan Zhengchun, Qin Hongmian and four major ministers who were rushing to Jiangnan.

Duan Yu handed Mu Wanqing over to Qin Hongmian, and then went north to Zhongzhou alone, heading towards Leigushan.

Duan Yu learned from Fu Minyi that Tong Lao brought Wang Yuyan to Leigushan. After many days of trekking, Leigushan was already in sight and he could reach it by climbing over a few hills.

As a result, before Duan Yu climbed up Leigushan Mountain, he met Li Qiushui.

When Duan Yu saw that Li Qiu Shui's clothes were exactly the same as the fairy sister in the Wuliang Yubi Cave, he subconsciously called out.

Li Qiushui couldn't help laughing when she saw Duan Yu's handsome appearance: "Little brother, why do you call me Fairy Sister?"

Duan Yu bowed to Li Qiushui reverently, fearing that he would desecrate her majestic appearance.

He reported truthfully: "I have seen the immortal sister in the Wuliang Yubi Cave. I thought the immortal sister had passed away, but I didn't expect that the immortal sister is still in the world!"

When Li Qiushui heard about Wuliang Yubi, he was immediately surprised: "My little brother, have you been to Wuliang Yubi Cave? Did you take the scrolls of "Northern Divine Art" and "Light Footsteps" from my jade statue?"

After hearing this, Duan Yu no longer had any doubts about the Fairy Sister's identity.

He hurriedly said, "I kowtowed a thousand times to the Fairy Sister's jade statue, and I got the Fairy Sister's scroll out!"

Li Qiushui smiled and asked, "Have you mastered the Northern Divine Art?"

Duan Yu replied: "I have only trained the hand Taiyin lung meridian, and the Shaoshang point on the thumb can absorb people's true qi."

After hearing this, Li Qiushui waved to Duan Yu and said, "Little brother, come here and let me see the level of your inner strength!"

Duan Yu's mind was full of the jade image of the fairy sister. When he walked to Li Qiushui, he found that Li Qiushui's skin was as white as mutton fat and as smooth as a baby's. He couldn't help but feel moved and obediently stretched out his hand towards Li Qiushui.

Li Qiushui extended her thumb and placed it on Duan Yu's hand, then said in a sweet voice: "Little brother, use your inner strength. Sister wants to check it!"

Her voice is soft, melodious and soul-stirring.

Duan Yu had no power to resist at all. He did whatever the Fairy Sister asked him to do unconditionally. Even when his internal energy was leaking out of his body and being sucked away by the Fairy Sister, he didn't even notice it.

Li Qiushui saw this and thought, "This little brother is so obsessed with me, I will absorb all his inner strength. If he continues to obey me in the future, I can just spare his life."
