Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

But he also felt a sense of exhilaration; only such an attack could make him go all out.

With his right hand held together like a sword, an aura of death and misfortune lingered around his fingers. The world was filled with turbulent winds and clouds, and thick dark clouds gathered, covering the Buddha's light.

hum!

Dark clouds transformed into tornadoes, descending from the sky and landing on his body, while indescribable power of heaven and earth condensed at his fingertips.

He could only draw upon the power of heaven and earth within a 40-meter radius in his normal state, but the power he was currently drawing upon had already exceeded 100 meters.

Because this is a sword strike based on the power of heaven and earth, representing death and slaughter.

Fifteen Deadly Swords!

After entering the Innate Realm, his body's energy merged with the void, making it easier for him to control this sword strike. At least the sword energy was no longer like a wild horse, out of control.

hold head high!

Amidst a deafening roar, sword energy burst forth from his fingertips, transforming into a black, venomous dragon of sword energy that surged forth.

"Kakaka~"

Where the sword energy dragon swept past, the ground cracked open, creating a chasm more than two meters deep, and the void split open with numerous rifts.

The sweeping monk's palm strike, which shone with Buddha's light, was instantly torn apart and obliterated.

His monk's sleeves ripped apart, his body shuddered violently, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Faced with this terrifying sword strike, he could no longer resist and could only hastily mobilize the power of heaven and earth to protect his chest, stomping the ground to dodge to the side.

Even so, countless fine sword marks were left on his body, and his internal organs were also affected.

Moreover, the sword energy dragon continued its relentless advance, not only engulfing Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo behind it, but also killing nearly half of the Shaolin monks Xuan and Hui.

As the sword energy and poisonous dragon dissipated, Yue Zhuoqun stood tall in the arena, his robes fluttering, like a war god among men.

A full half minute passed before a huge uproar broke out in the arena, with gasps and exclamations erupting everywhere!

"Benefactor, your attack was far too ruthless!" The sweeping monk said, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face grim.

Yue Zhuoqun did not feel guilty: "Master, you can't blame me for not blocking my killing move. Besides, I showed mercy just now for your sake, otherwise, even more Shaolin disciples would have died."

The Sweeping Monk helped him break through to the Innate Realm, but even without his help, he could have broken through on his own by absorbing the internal energy of Xiao Yuanshan and the others.

To ruin his good deed and then try to make amends would be a really weak and unrealistic favor.

"As for Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, they deserved to die. I killed them, and I ask you, which martial arts hero wouldn't applaud? Oh, Xiao Feng and Murong Fu won't. If you two want to avenge your fathers, just come at me."

Murong Fu's face was ashen, his hand gripping the sword cracking, and he couldn't muster the courage to seek revenge.

He was no match for Yue Zhuoqun to begin with, and with most of his skills gone, it was even more impossible for him.

In the future, I'm afraid we won't even have the ability to revive the Great Yan Dynasty.

As for Xiao Feng, his eyes also contained anger, but he was ultimately a person who could distinguish right from wrong.

Xiao Yuanshan has done so many wrong things, what reason does he have to seek revenge?

Silently, he stepped forward, picked up Xiao Yuanshan's body, and handed it to his eighteen riders to be placed on horseback. Then, he strode to the front of the Beggars' Sect's camp, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Brothers, from now on, Xiao Feng will never go south again. Take care."

"Xiao Feng is a barbarian traitor, we must not let him go..." Quan Guanqing shouted sternly, still unwilling to let Qiao Feng go even now.

But before he could finish speaking, Qiao Feng slammed a palm into his chest.

Although Qiao Feng's internal energy was also greatly depleted, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms was originally a martial art that worked from the outside in. His physical body was strong, and his palm power was still extremely domineering.

Quan Guanqing was blasted away and died on the spot.

"You scoundrel, keeping you in the Beggars' Sect will only bring trouble!"

Qiao Feng cursed angrily before looking at Wu Changfeng and the others. After thinking for a moment, he took out a manual from his pocket and said, "Brother Wu, since I am no longer a member of the Beggars' Sect, this Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms should be returned to the Beggars' Sect. I hope you can manage the affairs of the sect well in the future."

Wu Changfeng sighed and took the manual: "Qiao Gang... take care, Master Xiao."

Xiao Feng nodded, leaped onto his horse, and led his men to prepare to leave.

"Brother Xiao, you...you don't want me anymore?" Azi suddenly rushed out and blocked his way, her eyes red.

“Azi, your parents are right here. Why do you have to come with me to the borderlands and suffer the wind?”

"No, I want to follow you!"

When Xiao Feng was investigating A Zi's past, he helped her solve the mystery of her origins, but A Zhu was not present and was kept in the dark.

Duan Zhengchun and Ruan Xingzhu exchanged a glance in the distance and said, "Hero Xiao, since Azi is in love with you, take her away!"

Xiao Feng nodded and extended his palm to A Zi.

Azi smiled happily, took his hand, and sat on the horse.

"Ah Zi~" This scene made You Tanzhi extremely anxious, and his eyes were full of hatred and anger as he looked at Xiao Feng.

“You Tanzhi, although I did not kill your father with my own hands, he was still defeated by me, humiliated and committed suicide. If you want to take revenge, just go to Liao Kingdom to find me after you have mastered martial arts.”

Xiao Feng said something, then spurred his horse and galloped away.

This lively Shaolin gathering has come to an end.

Shaolin Temple still exists, but most of the Xuan and Hui generations have died or been injured. Coupled with Xuan Ci's past, its reputation has plummeted.

With the Sweeping Monk in charge, there was no real danger, but it would be difficult to recover their strength in a short time.

You Tanzhi was removed from his position as leader of the Beggars' Sect by Wu Changfeng and other elders, and the Beggars' Sect disciples left.

Duan Zhengchun and Duan Yu returned to Dali.

Murong Fu returned to Canhe Manor with a dejected expression. After this blow, his ambition to restore his kingdom was no longer worth mentioning.

Kumārajīva, having lost most of his internal energy to Yue Zhuoqun, experienced a profound enlightenment amidst the loss and gain. He no longer clung to martial arts manuals and returned to Tibet to sincerely worship Buddha.

His foundation remains intact, and he will recover in a few years, at which time he will surely become a truly virtuous and eminent monk.

As for Yue Zhuoqun, after leaving Shaolin, he was rarely seen in the martial arts world.

Two months later, someone happened to see him boating on Taihu Lake with several pretty and beautiful women by his side.

Six months later, Emperor Yelü Hongji of the Liao Dynasty led his troops south, intending to attack the Song Dynasty and seize the Central Plains.

Outside Yanmen Pass, Yue Zhuoqun's Poison Dragon Sword shattered an army of ten thousand, and his Dragon Elephant Palm swept through an army of two hundred thousand, casting a shadow over the hearts of the Liao soldiers and civilians.

Wang Yuyan, wielding the Dragon-Slaying Saber, severed the imperial banner and killed Yelü Hongji, achieving unparalleled fame.

From then on, the Liao Dynasty was severely weakened and no longer had the strength to advance south.

A year later, Yue Zhuoqun passed the position of leader of the Xiaoyao Sect to Wang Yuyan and summoned the system.

Before him stood three stone gates, visible only to him.

Stepping into the gate of the Laughing Space, he gathered all his strength and pushed towards the stone gate.

Having been away from the world of Laughing Proudly for so long, I've finally reached the Innate Realm and can go back and take a look.

Volume Two: Seeking the Way Through Martial Arts

Chapter 158 The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty

As Yue Zhuoqun applied his power, the stone door slowly opened.

With a flash, he disappeared from the world of Tianlong.

It has only been a little over thirty years since Yue Zhuoqun left the world of Laughing at the World.

However, under Yang Lin's leadership, the Huashan Sect has become completely different, with more and more disciples, and both martial arts training and Taoist cultivation are given equal importance.

The number of disciples who stayed on Mount Hua alone was in the tens of thousands, and the small town at the foot of the mountain was developed into Huashan City, which became extremely prosperous.

Mount Hua is not only a leader in the martial arts world, but also a leader in Taoism. It also wields unparalleled influence in the Ming Dynasty court, with many high-ranking officials coming from Mount Hua's disciples.

Noble families considered it a great honor to send their sons to Mount Hua to study and cultivate themselves.

A list of top masters was compiled, with 70% being disciples of Mount Hua, 20% from the Sun Moon Sect, and the remaining 10% shared among sects such as Wudang.

The Sun Moon Cult's prestige is entirely due to the influence of Dongfang Bubai and the current leader, Yue Dongdong.

In the years since Yue Zhuoqun left, the martial arts world has been divided into three decades, each labeled with a different era.

The first decade was the era of swordsmanship, with Yue Xuan, Xie Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue, and Ye Gucheng dominating the world with their swordsmanship.

The four had three sword duels. The first one ended in a draw, the second one saw Yue Xuan win slightly, and the third one saw Yue Xuan fight three opponents at once and be hailed as the sword immortal of the time. After that, the four went into seclusion.

The second decade was the Huashan era, during which Huashan disciples achieved great martial arts prowess like an explosion. Countless swordsmen and heroes emerged after the Eight Swords of Huashan, but Yang Lin was always the most respected.

The third decade was the era of the witch, when Yue Dongdong, dressed in red, wreaked havoc across the world, suppressing everyone in her time.

She didn't do anything particularly heinous; she was just too mischievous. Countless famous people were tricked by her, and everyone who mentioned this little devil both hated and loved her.

The Cliff of Contemplation on Mount Hua has become an absolute sacred site on Mount Hua, and outsiders are not allowed to go there casually.

This is because it is the residence of Ning Zhongze, Dongfang Bubai, and others.

Ripples spread through the void, and Yue Zhuoqun's body appeared.

The fluctuations in the void quickly attracted people's attention.

With a flash of light, three graceful figures appeared in the arena.
