Martial Arts: Starting with Upgrading the Dilapidated Temple

The array pattern's light dimmed to its lowest point, and with a crisp cracking sound, a crack finally appeared on the golden barrier.

"It's broken! The Martial Ancestor's legacy belongs to me!" Ao Zheng laughed wildly, his blood boiling, and he was about to be the first to rush into the palace.

At that very moment, a sudden change occurred on the field.

Luo Tianheng, who had been at the forefront of the attack, suddenly pulled back his palms, which were originally aimed at the array patterns. He leaned to the side and back of Ao Zheng, and the powerful internal force of the Zhenhai Fubo Gong did not stop for a moment. It landed solidly on Ao Zheng's unsuspecting back.

boom!

The dull thud of bones breaking was especially clear in the deep sea.

Ao Zheng's burly body suddenly stiffened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of internal organs.

Before he could regain his footing, Ye Piaoling had already closed the folding fan in his hand.

His amiable demeanor remained unchanged, and with a flick of his wrist, three streaks of dark light silently shot out.

Three bone-piercing nails, coated with the rare poison of Hundred Flowers Island, were precisely driven into several major acupoints of Ao Zheng, completely sealing off his escape route to launch a counterattack.

"You..." Ao Zheng staggered and fell onto the bone steps, staring intently at the two people in front of him, his eyes bloodshot.

Luo Tianheng straightened his cuffs and looked down at him. "Alliance Leader Ao, your Blood Corpse Alliance has committed numerous evils. Today, this Sea King's Tomb will be your final resting place. The Zhenhai Alliance is acting on behalf of Heaven, which can be considered as giving an explanation to the wronged souls who died in Shengzhou."

"Alliance Leader Luo is right."

"However, besides acting on behalf of Heaven, according to the agreement, the Free and Unfettered Alliance will accept the wealth accumulated by the Blood Corpse Alliance over the years without hesitation." Ye Piaoling waved his folding fan, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

With the three leaders at the top breaking off relations, the Twelve Bandits' camp at the bottom also instantly erupted into chaos.

Shi Kun from Panshi Island roared and led a group of shirtless, burly men who practiced hard kung fu as they charged directly into the crowd of people from the Cursed Bone Sect.

The fist, as big as a clay pot, was specifically aimed at the faces of these unorthodox martial artists.

The Fog Shadow Fleet was even more decisive. Before the Wild Wave Gang could react, several fast ships closed in and stabbed them right in the back.

Salty Old Ghost of the Salt and Iron Society was originally heartbroken over the loss of his Cold Iron Mother, but upon seeing this scene, his expression instantly changed.

He kicked over a Blood Bone Alliance lackey beside him and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Alliance Leader Luo is righteous! These beasts of the Blood Bone Alliance deserve to be killed by everyone! The Salt and Iron Society is willing to lend a helping hand to the Zhenhai Alliance!" After saying that, he led his men to pounce on the Blood Bone Alliance's warship like wolves and tigers, beating a drowning dog more enthusiastically than anyone else.

In the distance, among the black reefs, mud monkeys lay on the gunwale, watching intently without blinking.

"Brother Luo, these big shots change their tune faster than flipping through a book! Old Ghost Xian's flattery is so blatant, it makes me blush for him."

Luo Meng stroked his chin. "That's called 'all's fair in war.' Look at that old bastard Luo Tianheng, he launched a sneak attack and then tried to put on a virtuous facade for himself. He's really filthy."

Chen Yuanzhi sneered, his sleeves tucked in. The Zhenhai Alliance and the Xiaoyao Alliance had long been secretly colluding.

The whole "exploring the Sea King's Tomb" thing was a setup, designed to lure Ao Zheng in, kill him, and incidentally seize the Blood Bone Alliance's territory.

The deep sea trembled violently as the battle between the three experts at the Tongqiao Realm caused the surrounding seawater to boil and churn.

Inside the lower deck of the Zhenyuan, which had been transformed into a black reef, a mud monkey lay in front of the camouflage gap, watching intently and swallowing hard.

"Boss, those three old monsters are really going at it. When are we going in to grab a few divine martial arts manuals?"

Luo Meng slapped the mud monkey on the back of the head.

"Cowardly. What are you doing touching those books? Wait until they're both exhausted, then the boss can take them all down with one slash each, and everything inside will be ours."

Xu Hao stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, a mocking smile playing on his lips beneath his mask.

"Just robbing things?" Xu Hao tapped the deck with the tip of his knife. "That's too narrow-minded."

Chen Yuanzhi stopped grinding the medicine and looked up.

"What does the boss mean?"

Xu Hao didn't answer; his mind was immediately drawn into the blessed land painting in his mind.

On the scroll, the golden light representing the Zhenyuan is jumping wildly, exuding an extremely strong sense of hunger.

The wrecked ship had been eyeing the Palace of Bones ever since, and the creaking noises from beneath the deck had never stopped.

"We need the divine skills inside, and the others..." Xu Hao said calmly, "cannot be let go either."

The mud monkey was stunned, and the mask slipped down to its chin.

"Boss, what are your orders?"

"What are your orders?" Xu Hao smiled. "Just wait here."

……

"Luo Tianheng! Ye Piaoling! You two despicable villains!" Ao Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his bones cracked like popping beans.

Knowing that he had been tricked by these two old foxes and was now in a hopeless situation with no chance of survival, he had no more scruples and did not hesitate to reverse his meridians and use the forbidden technique of Blood Devouring Dragon Transformation.

A blood-red dragon tattoo, visible to the naked eye, emerged from his back, moving wildly along his meridians as if it were alive.

With every inch he swam, his skin and flesh tore apart, and the violent blood and qi of the peak of the Tongqiao Realm were released without reservation, stirring up the surrounding seawater and making it clear that he wanted to drag the two of them down with him.

Sensing this destructive aura, Ye Piaoling abruptly closed her folding fan, her smile completely vanishing.

"Alliance Leader Luo, this mad dog is about to bite!" Ye Piaoling shouted at Luo Tianheng as she retreated hastily, "Don't hold back! Join forces and kill him, lest something unexpected happens!"

"Alliance Leader Ye is right." Luo Tianheng remained calm, and with a flick of his sleeves, the powerful internal energy of the Zhenhai Fubo Gong surged forth.

However, his overwhelming internal energy did not strike Ao Zheng. Instead, in the instant the two passed each other, he shifted his foot and struck Ye Piaoling on the back.

Caught off guard, Ye Piaoling crashed straight into Ao Zheng, who was on the verge of self-destruction, like a kite with a broken string.

Before Ye Piaoling could regain her footing, Luo Tianheng threw out a Bagua array plate with his other hand.

The array plate swelled in the wind, instantly unleashing four beams of azure light that trapped Ye Piaoling and Ao Zheng within it.

"Luo Tianheng! How dare you scheme against me!" Ye Piaoling crashed into the pillar of light, her features contorted, completely losing the composure of the leader of the Xiaoyao Alliance, and angrily smashed the array barrier.

Ao Zheng, his face covered in blood, looked at Ye Piaoling, who had been locked up, and suddenly burst into a monstrous laugh.

"Hahahaha! Ye Piaoling, you self-proclaimed clever smiling tiger, in the end you were just used as a stepping stone by that Luo fellow! Trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin, you didn't even get close before being discarded. With you by my side on the road to the Yellow Springs, I won't be lonely anymore!"

Outside the pillar of light, Luo Tianheng straightened his cuffs, his tone revealing a sense of compassion: "The two alliance leaders were willing to sacrifice their lifeblood to break the Martial Ancestor's Grand Formation. On behalf of the Shengzhou martial arts, I thank you both for your great kindness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Zheng inside the formation exploded completely.

The self-destruction of a peak-level expert in the Tongqiao Realm instantly engulfed Ye Piaoling.

The flesh and blood of the two were locked tightly by the array plate, and then transformed by the array plate into a dazzling torrent of blood, which slammed into the golden barrier surrounding the White Bone Palace.

Click.

The indestructible golden barrier shattered instantly, and thick blood and qi sprayed onto the pale bone wall, turning it crimson.

After the inverted palace of bones absorbed all the resources of the two experts at the Tongqiao Realm, the tightly closed bone gate in the very center suddenly burst open.
