Chapter 313 Playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong
Upon hearing that the two were about to fight, Duan Tianya's expression changed slightly, and Abbess Juechen's expression also changed somewhat.

Looking at Gu Shaoan, who remained calm, Abbess Juechen pondered for a moment before speaking, "Since this is a friendly exchange, Shaoan, you must remember to stop when you've reached your limit."

Although it seemed like she was speaking only to Gu Shaoan, Zhu Wushi knew perfectly well that Abbess Juechen was also speaking to him.

Gu Shaoan replied, "Don't worry, Uncle-Master."

With that, Gu Shaoan gestured to Zhu Wushi, then, as he circulated his inner energy, he took a step forward. Seemingly calm and collected, his movements were as swift as the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he traversed a distance of more than ten zhang to reach an open area in the back mountain.

Zhu Wushi's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he took in Gu Shaoan's superb lightness skill.

He then activated his internal energy, moving like lightning to a distance of three zhang from Gu Shaoan.

The two faced each other from a distance. Zhu Wushi looked at the Yitian Sword held in Gu Shaoan's left hand and asked, "Young Master Gu, are you not going to draw your sword?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan calmly replied, "If it is necessary, I will naturally draw my sword."

Zhu Wushi smiled and said, "Then I look forward to the sharpness of the Heaven-Slaying Sword after it is drawn."

Gu Shaoan smiled lightly and said, "Guests are welcome, so please go first, Divine Marquis."

"it is good!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Zhu Wushi's internal energy surged wildly.

next moment.

Zhu Wushi's figure suddenly blurred in place.

When his figure became clear again, he had already silently appeared three feet in front of Gu Shaoan.

He pressed a palm down on Gu Shaoan's chest.

This palm strike had no whistling wind, no dazzling light, and even the ripples in the air around the edge of the palm were barely visible.

However, Gu Shaoan's pupils contracted instantly. He clearly felt that the energy around him was as if it were being wrapped and locked by an invisible spider web, and a heavy pressure was squeezing in from all directions. The air became viscous, and even breathing became difficult.

Faced with this palm strike, Gu Shaoan's expression remained calm as still water.

With a slight sinking of his waist, the powerful internal energy within him surged like a rushing river, rapidly circulating according to the energy flow path of the "Golden Summit Cotton Palm" before flowing into his right palm to meet Zhu Wushi.

"boom"

The next instant, the two palms collided violently.

The moment their palms touched, the space around their hands suddenly collapsed inward for a moment, as if the light and shadow above the flames had suddenly become somewhat distorted.

At the moment their palms touched, Gu Shaoan's right palm contained a seemingly gentle yet immense force, which, combined with the pure internal energy, was condensed into a force that suddenly burst forth from his palm with the skill of "effortless effort."

In contrast, Zhu Wushi's seemingly ordinary palm strike actually contained the power to shatter mountains.

The space around them seemed to tremble the instant their palms collided.

An indescribable torrent of terrifying energy erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed to its limit!

A dull, thunderous roar suddenly exploded, and a violent shockwave, centered on the point where the two palms struck, spread wildly in all directions in a visible circular pattern, like an invisible giant hammer slamming into the ground.

Centered on the two, the ground within a radius of ten feet trembled violently, and dust, gravel, and grass clippings were violently swirled up and thrown into the air, forming a turbid storm.

A gust of wind swept through, causing the robes of Duan Tianya and Abbess Juechen, who were watching from afar, to flutter and their hair to dance wildly.

Inside the arena, after a momentary pause, Gu Shaoan actually took a step back.

When they looked up at each other, both Gu Shaoan and Zhu Wushi had a serious look in their eyes.

"This guy's skill is indeed extraordinary."

In Gu Shaoan's perception, the power contained in Zhu Wushi's palm strike was extremely profound.

Due to his own physical limitations, coupled with Gu Shaoan's skill in handling seemingly trivial matters and his profound internal strength, Gu Shaoan has only managed to force his opponents to retreat in his battles over the years.

This is the first time I've been forced to retreat by someone else.

Compared to Gu Shaoan, Zhu Wushi looked at Gu Shaoan with even greater shock in his eyes.

Zhu had just disregarded the fact that the power he had used had exceeded a century.

Although he held back, Zhu Wushi believed that all martial artists in the Great Wei Kingdom who had reached the Qi Condensation stage would have to retreat several steps and experience turbulent blood and qi in their bodies when faced with his palm strike.

But when that palm strike came down, Zhu Wushi was shocked to find that Gu Shaoan's palm strike was so powerful that it did not match Gu Shaoan's age.

In terms of conversion, Zhu Wushi believed that Gu Shaoan's skill level was already equivalent to his own skill level of a hundred years.

Moreover, the palm force contained in that palm strike was extremely refined.

If it weren't for Zhu Wushi's profound internal strength, which neutralized Gu Shaoan's palm strike the moment it entered his body, Zhu Wushi would probably have had to take a step back like Gu Shaoan.

"A century of skill, a technique that makes light work seem heavy, no wonder even Pang Ban was no match for this kid."

"But how could someone his age possess such profound skill?"

As his thoughts raced, Zhu Wushi continued to move, and suddenly stepped forward with his left foot on the spiderweb-like cracks in the ground.

"Click"

A powerful surge of energy erupted from Zhu Wushi's body.

With a step forward, Zhu Wushi's left hand shot out like lightning, striking Gu Shaoan once more.

Having just experienced this, Gu Shaoan's dormant internal energy suddenly surged, and the circulation path of his internal energy abruptly changed.

Immediately, he lowered his waist slightly, his spine arched like a dragon's bow, his right palm was raised loosely, his five fingers were slightly bent, and his palm was facing down.

A single palm strike, seemingly slow and deliberate, is actually unstoppable.

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms – The Dragon Regrets!
A heavy, concentrated, and terrifying aura, like a mountain collapsing, instantly spread out!
"Roar--"

A deep, powerful, majestic, and domineering dragon roar suddenly arose from the terrifying true energy that was frantically gathering and compressing under his palm, as well as the violent friction and vibration between his palm force and the air.

A unique energy and true essence condensed wildly in Gu Shaoan's palms, yet remained unleashed. As he activated the "Soaring Dragon Momentum," Gu Shaoan's entire aura suddenly changed.

The previous gentle feeling had completely disappeared, and his whole body was filled with a domineering and fierce aura.

As the long, slender hand struck out, hundreds of tiny, semi-transparent, and ferocious dragon-shaped energies, each about an inch long, condensed out of thin air.

These energies are not physical entities, but are purely compressed and condensed from the most powerful and yang energy and palm force. They carry a sharpness that can tear everything apart and a sense of boundless power, like a hundred frenzied miniature dragons circling his palm, emitting dense and sharp hissing sounds that pierce the air.

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms – The Dragon Regrets!
"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?"

Faced with Gu Shaoan's palm strike, a look of surprise flashed in Zhu Wushi's eyes.

Sensing the change in Gu Shaoan's aura, Zhu Wushi channeled more of his internal energy into his right hand via a special route, instantly closing his fingers and transforming his claw into a palm to grab at Gu Shaoan.

As the vital energy surged forth, it resembled a burning azure flame, yet also a phantom of an azure dragon claw.

However, in Gu Shaoan's perception, the Qi that was currently enveloping Zhu Wushi's left hand was clearly still filled with a special kind of energy.

"Shaolin's 'Dragon Claw Hand'."

Seeing Zhu Wushi's move, Gu Shaoan immediately recognized it as the same "Dragon Claw Hand" that Gu Shaoan had learned from the Shaolin monks when attacking the Ming Cult.

The next instant, their palms and claws collided.

"boom"

Like a thunderclap from the heavens exploding on flat ground, a violent sound wave, carrying a tangible shockwave, erupted outwards from the two people in the center.

Within a ten-zhang radius of the two, all the flattened grass roots and soil were violently stirred up again, forming a turbid, circular wave of earth that rolled outwards.

Faced with the strong winds generated by the two fighting, Abbess Juechen and Duan Tianya, who were five zhang apart, couldn't help but circulate their true energy to resist.

However, the moment the true essence barrier that had formed in front of them touched these energies, both of them felt as if they had been hit head-on by a huge boulder weighing tens of thousands of pounds, causing them to retreat uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Wushi felt a terrifying palm force that was both fierce and unstoppable, like a collapsing Mount Tai, surging into his arm.

This power is not only incredibly fierce, but also contains a lingering, endless force of "regret," layer upon layer.

Under the force of this powerful palm strike, the internal energy and strength that Zhu Wushi had gathered in his left hand dissipated in less than a breath.

The remaining energy surged into his body the moment Gu Shaoan's palm touched his five fingers, like Mount Tai collapsing.

Zhu Wushi felt as if his entire left arm had been struck hard by the tail of an ancient dragon. An indescribable tingling and numbing pain instantly spread from his palm to his entire arm, reaching all the way to his shoulder blade.

The powerful internal energy within his body surged wildly in response, like countless gates opening layer by layer in his meridians, barely managing to deflect and neutralize this terrifying force capable of destroying mountains!
Even so, Zhu Wushi's left hand was shaken so badly by the enormous impact that his entire arm was flung backward, and his sleeves fluttered and rustled even though there was no wind.

He remained rooted to the spot, but his body was slightly thrown back for a moment by the impact of the enormous force, and several cracks appeared in the ground beneath his feet once again.

Gu Shaoan struck out with his palm, and the energy of the Hundred Dragons dissipated. But the next second, Gu Shaoan sank his energy into his dantian, and as his right shoulder sank, his palm moved forward again, striking Zhu Wushi's chest once more.

Faced with this scene, Zhu Wushi's lips curled into a cold, sharp smile.

He casually extended his right hand from his long sleeve, his movements as graceful as flowing clouds.

The index and middle fingers are joined together to form a sword, and a deep, ink-black light emanates from the fingertips. There is no explosive force, but it condenses an extreme sharpness that can pierce through everything.

With a casual, sweeping motion, his arm swept horizontally in front of him, the movement so fast that it left only a deep, dark arc of afterimage.

When the black light from the fingertip lightly touched Gu Shaoan's hand, Gu Shaoan was surprised to find that the energy and palm force he had gathered in his palm were like ice and snow thrown into boiling water, melting and disintegrating silently and rapidly.

At the same time, Zhu Wushi said, "The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is not bad."

The words were light and casual, carrying a hint of condescension. Gu Shaoan remained unmoved, but inwardly sneered.

His feet suddenly stepped outwards, embracing yin and yang, and the earth beneath his feet silently sank! His spine, like a sleeping ancient dragon, suddenly awoke, emitting a soft "crackling" sound. A vast and powerful force originating from the depths of the earth was instantly drawn in and condensed in his dantian using his unique breathing technique!

Followed by.

"hold head high--!!!"

A dragon's roar, far more terrifying and majestic than before, suddenly exploded from deep within Gu Shaoan's chest.

The dragon's roar seemed to carry a tangible shockwave, causing visible ripples to spread through the surrounding air!
At the same time, Gu Shaoan's right palm, which was pushing forward, suddenly trembled!
The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms – Shocking the Hundreds of Miles!
The powerful, tsunami-like Qi energy, mixed with the special palm strike intent, poured out like a bursting dam. About ten feet in front of Gu Shaoan, it frantically condensed, compressed, and shaped into nine lifelike dragon-shaped Qi energies, each three feet long.

What's even more unsettling is that with the appearance of these nine dragon-shaped energies, the surging and howling mountain winds around them suddenly subsided, as if forcibly suppressed by an invisible force.

In contrast, around the nine roaring dragons of qi, wisps of visible azure wind swirled out of thin air, like submissive servants, rapidly rotating and coalescing around their bodies! The wind aided the dragons' power, and the dragons harnessed the wind's might.

An overwhelming and irresistible force of heaven and earth was forcibly drawn in by this palm technique and amplified upon it.

"The power of heaven and earth?!"

Seeing this scene, Zhu Wushi's gaze suddenly narrowed to needles.

That composure that had always prevailed was finally shattered, replaced by a genuine solemnity.

With a low growl, Zhu Wushi spread his five fingers wide and suddenly grabbed at the empty space in front of him.

An invisible and intangible yet extremely vast power instantly spread out from Zhu Wushi as the center!
The surrounding air suddenly became strange and unpredictable! Gu Shaoan and the nine roaring dragon-shaped energies seemed to be instantly trapped in an invisible, enormous vortex! A powerful, suffocating suction force, like countless invisible hands, forcibly pulled Gu Shaoan and his palm-force dragons toward Zhu Wushi.

At the same time, another completely opposite and extremely violent suction and repulsive force was generated on the other side of Gu Shaoan's body, causing Gu Shaoan to feel as if he were in a quagmire, with his whole body filled with a kind of resistance.

"The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth"?

It was upon sensing the resistance formed by these energies that Gu Shaoan immediately recognized these special energies as the Yin and Yang energies from the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth".

"interesting."

Gu Shaoan, who had also cultivated the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth," could naturally determine from the trajectory and condensation of these Yin and Yang energies that Zhu Wushi's mastery of the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" had reached the same sixth level as his own.

However, unlike others, Gu Shaoan had already reached the sixth level of perfection in "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" half a year ago.

Judging from the Yin and Yang energies used by Zhu Wushi, his "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" should only have reached the sixth level of entry-level.

Using the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" in front of Gu Shaoan was tantamount to Zhu Wushi showing off his axe skills in front of Guan Yu, which was extremely ridiculous.
