Wuxia: Start with max-level Nine Yang Divine Skill

One of the four members of the Laoshan Sect, a young Taoist priest, couldn't contain himself when he heard him casually commenting on his sect's unique skills. He immediately moved forward to confront him.

The old Taoist priest reacted quickly, grabbing him and pinning him down, giving him a stern glare.

The young Taoist priest had no choice but to suppress his anger and reluctantly lower his head.

"Sigh!" The old man with the raging fire sighed dejectedly, slapped his thigh, "None of them came for the secret manual?"

I can't even find a decent opponent to have a good match with?

It's boring, really boring!

His face was filled with disappointment. He clearly had the highest expectations for these masters from prestigious schools, but he failed to make a move twice.

The old man with the six fiery energies quickly scanned the inn, finally settling on Li Fu, who was sitting quietly sipping tea, the person closest to him.

The kid's composure throughout caught his attention.

Li Fu was quite pleased to see the old man of Fiery Flame cause such a commotion before entering the desert, as it would be a good opportunity for him to test everyone's abilities in advance.

The nature of each person, whether good or evil, can also be seen in a fight.

However, it seems that now it's his turn.

"Boy!" the old man with the raging fire asked gruffly, "I saw you were quite capable before. Are you also going into that damned desert to find the Golden Tower Sand Ruins?"

"Yes, I..."

Li Fu put down his teacup, about to speak.

The old man with the raging fire seemed to remember something, his eyes widening suddenly as he preemptively said, "Don't tell me you also have acquaintances or elders trapped inside who have no interest in that divine skill manual!"

Li Fu was taken aback by his words, then chuckled and said frankly.

"The old man was right."

"My name is Li Fu. My primary purpose in entering the desert is indeed to find a missing elder."

"This is outrageous!"

The old man with the raging fire had his thick eyebrows raised and his red beard seemed about to explode. His anger surged up, and he thought that Li Fu was indeed playing tricks and imitating the monks and Taoists by finding an excuse to avoid the battle.

However, just as his anger was rising, he saw that Li Fu showed no fear or attempt to conceal it on his face. Instead, he wore a carefree smile and spoke loudly.

"Of course, finding an elder is the priority."

But...

He then changed the subject.

"If I were to stumble upon mountains of gold and silver, or divine martial arts manuals, which would be within easy reach, I, Li Fu, would not hesitate to seize them."

Grab what you can, look at what you can, take what you can… of course, you should take it.

He was poised and unpretentious, speaking frankly without the slightest affectation or sanctimoniousness, as if he were talking about something perfectly natural.

These words initially surprised everyone in the inn.

Immediately, many people showed a hint of admiration in their eyes.

Compared to those who come for the treasure but make up all sorts of excuses, Li Fu's straightforward and frank words make him seem upright and honest, which earns him goodwill.

The old man with the raging fire was also taken aback. His anger instantly dissipated, turning into an even louder laugh.

"Hahaha!

Good, good lad, you're honest and straightforward enough!

Gold and silver treasures, divine martial arts manuals—only a fool wouldn't be tempted by them!

This is more to my liking, unlike those hypocrites in the world who spout benevolence and righteousness but secretly engage in immoral acts!

The more he looked at Li Fu, the more pleasing he found him to the eye, but then his expression turned serious.

"However, since you admit you're also after the manual, then there's nothing more to say. You'll have to take one of my moves. Take this!"

The words "look at the palm" were like a thunderclap!

The atmosphere inside the inn instantly became extremely tense.

Everyone was on tenterhooks for Li Fu!

The old man with the raging fire was about to make a move twice, but he had to suppress it. He was filled with rage, and now he was finally able to make a move again.

This palm strike was far more powerful than the previous plates and wine glasses; it was a truly devastating blow!

The old Taoist priest from Laoshan Sect and the old monk from Famen Temple both changed their expressions at the same time, exchanged a glance, and secretly channeled their internal energy, preparing to unleash it.

If the young man cannot withstand this thunderous palm strike, they must immediately step in to save him.

After all, the young man was targeted by the old man of the Fiery Flame because they set a precedent for avoiding battle. If he were seriously injured or even lost his life because of this, they would feel uneasy.

Wang Zheliu, who had been staying in the corner and trying to keep his presence low after the appearance of the Fiery Elder, revealed a cruel and gleeful smile.

This guy who cut off his retainer's ear and humiliated him is going to be in big trouble!

He couldn't wait to see Li Fu get killed with a single blow!

Zhu Tongzhou frowned slightly and whispered to Gong Xiaoshang.

"Cousin, this Senior Liehuo's martial arts are unfathomable. I'm afraid... he may already be on par with my father."

His palm strike, unleashed in anger, was of immeasurable power; I wonder if Brother Li can withstand it.

Gong Xiaoshang also frowned, looking at the scene with worry.

"My cousin is absolutely right."

Senior Liehuo's personality is just like his bushy red beard; he is as fierce as fire. If he gets angry and takes action, he probably doesn't know how to write the words "show mercy".

This young master Li... is really in danger.

All eyes were on Li Fu.

Despite facing the overwhelming aura of the Fiery Elder, he remained calm, a smile playing on his lips, as if what was about to come was not a palm strike capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks, but merely a gentle breeze.

The old man with the raging fire sat facing Li Fu, with only a small space between them.

If you say you'll look at someone's palm, then you really will!

The old man's eyes flashed with a sharp light; without any fancy moves, he struck out with a straight palm.

Before the palm strike even arrived, a scorching, domineering, and immense internal force, seemingly capable of melting gold and breaking iron, swept over like a raging torrent, making it hard for people to breathe!

Li Fu remained calm and met the attack with a palm strike of his own.

There are no complicated moves, only the simplest straight palm strike!

boom--!

A muffled, thunderous explosion resounded inside the inn.

The two powerful internal forces collided violently.

The shockwave exploded outwards from the point where the two men's palms collided!

The cups, plates, bowls, and chopsticks on the table were shaken and flew up with a clatter. Guests at several tables nearby felt a wave of heat hit them, making it hard to breathe!

The next moment, a scene that nearly made everyone's eyes pop out appeared.

The old man with the blazing fire, his massive, towering body swayed suddenly, a look of astonishment and disbelief flashing across his face.

The bench he was sitting on cracked with a loud snap!

The force of the recoil pushed him backward half a foot.

If it weren't for his extremely stable lower body, which allowed him to brace himself with his feet, he would have likely stumbled and fallen on the spot.

In contrast, Li Fu remained firmly seated in his original position, without even swaying, and slowly withdrew his hand with a light laugh.

"Thank you for your leniency, senior."

hiss--!

A collective gasp filled the inn!

Everyone, including the calm gray-clad man in a straw hat, the high monk from Famen Temple, the old Taoist priest from Laoshan Sect, and the Zhu Tongzhou siblings, was astonished!

Who is the Old Man of Fiery Flames?

That was a wicked old demon, fiery in nature, ruthless and unrestrained, with unfathomable martial arts skills.

Despite his domineering temper and countless enemies in the martial arts world, he still lives a good life thanks to his unparalleled martial arts skills, which make him untouchable!

But in that clash of palms just now, a head-on collision, the Fiery Elder was clearly at a disadvantage!
