Starting from Tianlong, Wudu Tianxia

Zhong Fei never expected the hidden weapon to arrive so swiftly.

In the nick of time, he immediately drew his sword to protect his chest. With a clang, the hidden weapon shot to the left and struck the tree trunk with a thud. It turned out to be a three-inch-long steel needle.

Although the steel needle was short, it was extremely powerful when propelled by internal force. His tiger's mouth went numb, and the weapon fell to the ground with a muffled thud.

Xiang Xiong was anxious and wanted to go forward to continue the fight.

"return!"

Zhong Fei stopped him, and Xiang Xiong paused, looking at Zhong Fei with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Xiang, even with two of us against one, we couldn't withstand five moves from him. Besides, he still has twenty-seven steel needles inside his short flute. If he keeps firing them, he would have killed us long ago. Don't keep fighting. If we lose, we lose."

Zhong Fei's weapon was knocked away by a tiny steel needle, leaving him utterly terrified.

He said to the man in white robes, "The Heavenly King's Heart-Mending Needle is indeed powerful..."

The man in white robes twirled his staff and said, "Not bad, it is indeed the 'Heavenly King's Heart-Mending Needle.' You have some skill!"

Upon hearing his admission, Xiang Xiong and the other guards exclaimed in unison, "What? Isn't the Heavenly King's Heart-Mending Needle a unique skill of Penglai?"

"They're from the Penglai school of Shandong!"

"Damn you! Penglai is a reputable sect, why are you trying to ambush us?"

Compared to the surprise and confusion of others, Gao Yuan appeared unusually calm, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

It turns out that before luring the bandits into the homes of the various families to plunder, Turin had already arranged a clever robbery and murder plot. With both sides causing trouble, the various families were not afraid of him.

The black-clad man with the sword on one side stopped speaking in riddles: "Senior Brother is merciful, giving you a chance to experience the high skills of Penglai, yet you keep asking endless questions. As for why we ambush you all..."

The man in black with the sword chuckled coldly, "Go ask the King of Hell!"

He pointed his sword, and the Penglai disciples disguised as bandits charged forward again.

Although Xiang Xiong and the others were surprised by their identities, protecting their lives was the most important thing right now, and they couldn't think about it for the time being. The two groups started fighting again.

Fortunately, they had the advantage of terrain, which allowed Xiang Xiong and his men to keep fighting the enemy.

But less than a moment later, the man in white robes suddenly became impatient.

He glanced disgustedly at the dust on his sleeves, cursed his men as "useless," and headed toward the woman.

The swordsman seemed not to hear, focusing on fighting Xiang Xiong, while the whip-wielder's face flushed red and then turned pale upon hearing the white-robed man's words.

He believed his martial arts talent was no less than the white-robed man's, but unfortunately, he wasn't as lucky and couldn't learn the sect's superior martial arts or the "Heavenly King's Heart-Nourishing Needle".

The man in white robes was not only the "senior brother" but also the sect leader's personal disciple. Although he was resentful, he dared not refute him.

The man in white robes strode forward, sidestepping the woman's bodyguards with ease. With a flick of his short flute, he knocked away weapons, and then steel needles pierced the air.

The guard was immediately pierced through the chest and body, unable to utter a single cry, and collapsed on the spot.

The other servants scattered and fled, but one servant was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

He muttered "Please have mercy, sir" in a daze, kicking wildly on the ground, seemingly terrified.

But no one noticed that although the servant moved slowly, he was fleeing towards the side of the man in white robes.

The man in white robes glanced at the "little servant" with disdain, leaving him to make a fool of himself on the ground.

Xiang Xiong Da was alarmed and brandished his sword to come to the rescue.

He had barely taken a step when a chill ran through him as the swordsman thrust his sword into his back. He simply rolled away to dodge.

When he got up, he was filled with despair.

All that could be seen was the white-robed man raising one palm and striking the woman.

Zhong Fei pushed aside the man wielding the whip and glanced at the woman. Seeing that his employer was about to be killed, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Miss Lan tried to push the woman away, but given the distance between them, it was too late.

Seeing that the woman was in imminent danger, everyone saw the "little servant" who had been paralyzed with fear suddenly "bouncing" up.

Yes, "bouncy".

It sprang to life with lightning speed, and floated lightly like the wind.

The "servant" was positioned in a very tricky spot, right in the blind spot under the white-robed man's feet.

Therefore, apart from the people around them looking at them, the man in white robes was completely unaware.

At this moment, everyone saw that his five fingers were white and slender, unlike those of a "servant". When his hand came out from his sleeve, it changed into a sword finger gesture and pointed directly at the tailbone acupoint of the white-robed man, bringing with it a rustling sound of his sleeves!

The black-clad man with the sword felt icy cold. The senior brother is the sect leader's personal disciple; he mustn't be harmed!

"Watch out, Senior Brother!"

The man in white robes was startled by what he heard. The two were only inches apart. He didn't have time to turn around, so he instinctively stood on tiptoe and used the momentum to turn half a circle to the side.

Although he barely avoided the coccyx acupoint, he was still struck on the waist by a finger, and the internal energy from the other side entered his body, causing him to feel numb from the pain.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

Gao Yuan gave him no chance to react, striking his chest with his right palm and forcefully pressing his Quchi acupoint with his left palm, trying to lock him in place.

The white-robed man's face was full of anger. Before he could catch his breath, he saw a blue light emanating from the palm of the person in front of him, and a strong wind rushed towards him.

"Buzzing~~!"

The two palms met, and the internal energy surged fiercely.

The white-robed man's internal strength was superior to Gao Yuan's, but he had suffered a hidden loss and was in a hurry to deal with it. His breathing was unstable, and he was knocked back several steps by Gao Yuan with a single palm strike.

In a daze, before I could even steady myself, I felt a sharp pain in the Quchi acupoint on my arm. When I looked up, our eyes met.

The man in white robes used his strength to counterattack.

"The Qi Sea generates a vortex that swirls around the Big Dipper, the Triple Burner surges and connects to the Dantian, the Shaoshang Heavenly Cauldron draws the tides, and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians lock in the Xuanhuang."

High and distant, dark hair in meditation.

In a moment, he spread his feet apart, leaned his body slightly forward to adjust the angle, and at the same time mobilized the Northern Darkness True Qi, rushing it to the Shaofu acupoints in his palms in one breath.

His eyes widened, and his Northern Darkness True Qi dissipated from his dantian, circulating throughout his meridians and acupoints.

At this moment, the dantian is like an empty sea, capable of drawing in hundreds of rivers!

This is the key to the Northern Darkness Divine Art, the Chapter on Guiding the Qi of the Vast Ocean.

Gao Yuan remained calm. He had the advantage of being both prepared and unprepared, and he felt that although the opponent's internal energy was much higher than his, he was still confident.

However, with the foundation of Qi that Ye Hanbing gave him over the past few years, there will be no crisis of the river overflowing!

He had practiced the Northern Darkness Technique for some time, but had never actively used it to absorb the internal energy of others. The first two times he used it passively, only wanting to rely on the Northern Darkness Technique to escape. Now, for the first time, he actively used his energy, and his understanding was profound.

The white-robed man tried to circulate his qi, but to no avail, which greatly alarmed him.

Even more terrifying is that no matter how he mobilized his internal energy, his own internal energy began to surge out uncontrollably as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

At first, he didn't know the reason and, like Gu Feng, thought that Gao Yuan had used some kind of technique to deflect force, so he kept exerting his strength to resist. Little did he know that the more he exerted his strength, the faster his internal energy disappeared.

With three out of ten qi gone, and the balance of their inner qi gradually shifted, the white-robed man's inner qi was no longer as strong as Gao Yuan's.

At this moment, Gao Yuan had the upper hand, and the white-robed man's inner energy poured out uncontrollably.

If the man in white robes hadn't repeatedly misjudged the situation and ordered his men to forcibly separate them from the start, this situation would never have occurred.

However, Penglai was rampant in Shandong, and he was a disciple personally taught by the sect leader. He was a prodigy both inside and outside the sect, so he didn't believe in evil and was afraid of disgracing the sect leader's lineage.

But... if this continues, we'll be drained dry sooner or later!

Qu Chi was trapped, and he had no strength left to unleash the "Heavenly King's Heart-Nourishing Needle" from his short flute.
