Starting from Tianlong, Wudu Tianxia

The Beggars' Sect's Dazhi branch was wiped out by the Zoroastrian Church while its core members were away.

Fortunately, Zoroastrianism has always been a target of the imperial court. Even if the government cannot eradicate them, it will make them behave much better once it intervenes.

The letter of denunciation and the destruction of the Beggars' Gang's branch.

As dawn breaks, the two corroborate each other, which would make the contents of his letter more credible.

As for Wang Xin!

He didn't intend to break through him. As long as Wang Xin showed up, the clues would lead to his exposure, and with the Zoroastrian sect's methods, the probability of him being exposed was too high, which would risk burning him.

Now all we can do is try our best and leave the rest to fate!

"Boom!"

Another flash of lightning and a clap of thunder.

Having made up his mind, Gao Yuan stopped paying attention to the ugly scene between the entire leader and the Zoroastrianism, bent down, and prepared to return the way he came.

Just then, a sudden downpour and howling wind swept in, and the lattice window that Gao Yuan had pushed open with a crack was immediately blown open by the wind with a snapping sound.

He thought to himself, "This is bad."

With good fortune upon him, he took two steps at a time and ran like the wind towards the central courtyard.

"Hmph! Since you're a guest, please stay, friend."

One could tell from his voice that he was a man in black. His voice was very soft, transmitted through his inner energy, penetrating the rain curtain as if right next to one's ear.

Gao Yuan ignored him and used the pillars of the pavilion in the middle courtyard to leap three times and jump over the wall.

Knowing he couldn't lead people to the Fan residence, he rushed straight towards the government office as soon as he landed!

Running in the rain at night, the harder you try, the greater the resistance becomes.

The raindrops, as thick as needles, stung my cheeks, and the puddles on the bluestone path made it easy to slip and fall.

Gao Yuan lightly touched the bluestone slabs with his toes, leaped quickly, and entered the alley from the main road. The alley was narrow and the walls were high, with rain curtains hanging from the eaves on both sides like water curtains.

The man in black braved the wind and rain, and during the pursuit, timber collapsed, bricks and tiles shattered, and household items left behind by residents in the alley prevented him from pursuing relentlessly.

"Damn it!"

With a shout of cursing, the man in black saw the distance between the two widen again and his anger flared up.

"This person relies entirely on his internal energy to run, and his leaps and bounds are completely haphazard, showing that he has no skill in lightness techniques at all. However, he deliberately chooses to go through narrow alleys, which is extremely cunning."

"This alley is a maze, making it difficult to maneuver. If we delay any longer, he might really slip away."

With this thought in mind, the man in black stopped dodging the wooden planks and debris that Gao Yuan threw from the front and smashed them to pieces with a single palm strike.

"Friend, your internal energy is unstable, and you will be caught up sooner or later. Why don't we stop here and clear things up? Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, you will be allowed to leave naturally."

Gao Yuan laughed and grabbed the clothes that the residents had forgotten to put down on the clothes rack in the alley, throwing them all at him.

Hey~!

The man in black was about to dodge, but his clothes, unlike hard objects, were flying everywhere with the rain, and even he couldn't avoid them all.

"Snapped!"

He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if something had been pressed against his face.

Upon pulling it down, it turned out to be a pair of loose, close-fitting shorts, emanating a strong male odor.

Clearly, the homeowner didn't wash it properly...

The man in black was filled with shame and indignation, his anger barely contained. He shouted forward:

"You brat, once I catch you, I'll make you wish you were never born."

He could tell from the laughter that Gao Yuan was not very old.

Ignoring the depletion of his inner strength, the man in black leaped up with great force, using the wall to leap and close the distance with Gao Yuan once again!

A powerful force broke through the rain with a sudden sound, and the man in black came forward with his palm!

Gao Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. He circulated his internal energy to its maximum, leaped up and kicked off the corner, and flew out diagonally.

"Bang!"

The man's palm struck the blue brick wall with solid force, leaving a palm print about an inch long.

Damn it!

If that palm strike landed on someone, wouldn't they be covered in bruises?

That damn poker face! His internal strength and agility are both superior to mine. If I keep running, I'll definitely be caught.

"Fork in the road..."

Gao Yuan turned around and glanced around. The alley ahead began to fork, and in front of him was a large courtyard with high walls.

"Phew!"

A gust of wind rushed into his ear, and he subconsciously turned to the side. The force of the wind made his cheek sting, and the distance between the two closed to within ten feet.

Gao Yuan's heart tightened as he caught sight of a bundle of dry bamboo leaning against the wall.

He leaped forward, and the bamboo instantly fell towards the man in black.

"Snapped!"

With a surge of internal energy, the dry bamboo rope snapped and spread downwards in a semi-circular arc.

The man remained expressionless, using his fists, palms, and feet to continuously knock away the dry bamboo coming towards him, the sound of bamboo joints cracking echoing in his ears.

At this moment, the rain and bamboo obscure our vision!

Gao Yuan gritted his teeth, stomped his toes on the blue bricks, twisted his waist and abdomen to turn around, took out the dagger from his waist, and turned to face the man in black.

Summer rain drips on withered bamboo; when they meet on a narrow path, the brave will prevail!

A deadly trap descends silently!

"How dare you, you brat!"

A white light suddenly appeared, and the man in black's eyes twitched violently. He roared and instinctively took a small step to the side.

"puff!"

Gao Yuan's attack hit its mark, but Gao Yuan avoided hitting any vital points.

Zhu Luo's eyes were clear as he stared in disbelief at the dagger embedded in his upper arm, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He focused his strength and pointed a finger directly at Gao Yuan's wrist, where he was gripping the dagger tightly.

He used all his strength in this move, it was fierce and ruthless, carrying the finger power he had cultivated over decades. If an ordinary person were to be struck by it, their bones and tendons would surely be broken.

Gao Yuan was startled and immediately released the dagger. He lightly slid his foot away, and with a "ding," the dagger was snapped in two by a single finger.

What powerful finger strength!

Although it was just an ordinary dagger, the skill required to cut the blade with a finger is evident.

Seeing Gao Yuan retreat, the man in black did not draw his broken blade. Instead, he took a step forward and changed his move with lightning speed, spreading his fingers into claws to attack Gao Yuan's ribs and face, both of which were fatal.

"Kid, die!"

Gao Yuan wanted to turn around and continue his escape, but before he could activate his inner energy, the man in black had already closed in on him.

There's no way to avoid it!

Without a second thought, he instinctively used the "Tianshan Plum Blossom" grappling technique, and with a fluid and subconscious grab, he accurately caught the two arms that were attacking him.

A hint of surprise flashed in the black-clad man's eyes. He made a slight adjustment and then exerted his strength to create a powerful shockwave.

Gao Yuan felt a numbness in his wrist, and a powerful internal force made him stagger two steps, his fingers involuntarily loosening.

After a brief pause, the man in black changed his footwork and rushed forward, unleashing countless fist shadows as he attacked Gao Yuan's vital points.

Gao Yuan focused his mind and energy, not daring to be careless in the slightest, and used the Tianshan Plum Blossom Technique to counter all the moves.

He dared not block, for the man in black possessed far greater internal strength than him, and he could not possibly withstand a direct attack.

His wrists twisted like serpents, his fingertips seemingly following the black-clad man's fist, using the momentum to gently guide the tricky punch by half an inch.

In a short time, the two had exchanged several blows, both secretly alarmed.

One was amazed by the exquisite skill of the moves!

One was astonished by the domineering power of his inner energy!

When the tenth move was executed, Gao Yuan was unable to dodge in time and took a punch from the man in black, which made his chest feel tight.

The man in black took a deep, long breath, and then unleashed another palm strike with astonishing power.

Unable to counter the attack, Gao Yuan gritted his teeth, gathered his inner energy, and struck the man's chest with a powerful palm strike.

Fighting for one's life?

Seeing this, the man in black smirked disdainfully. He kept his right palm, which was striking Gao Yuan, still extended, while his left palm slid diagonally downwards to meet Gao Yuan's palm, retreating to meet the attack.

The two men struck each other with their palms, and the man in black also struck Gao Yuan's chest with his other palm.

"Buzz!"

The force of their energy collided, and the aftershocks reverberated for a long time, causing the raindrops falling on the two of them to pause for a moment!

In the man in black's mind, Gao Yuan was doomed. No matter how exquisite his moves were, he would neutralize them with his own strength.

However...

Something terrifying happened to him.

He struck Gao Yuan with a single palm, but Gao Yuan seemed completely unaffected.

Furthermore, there seemed to be a strange, sticky force that tightly gripped his palm, preventing him from withdrawing it.

Even more bizarrely, when the two clashed palms, the internal energy transmitted from the other side was exactly the same as the Copper Jade Heart Method that he had been practicing for decades.

In fact, the black-clad man's palm strike landed high on Gao Yuan's chest with tremendous force; if it had struck any other part of his body, Gao Yuan would have been dead.
