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

The waters of West Lake churned violently, forming a whirlpool tens of meters in size.

Bang bang bang!

Water splashed as three figures emerged from the bottom of the whirlpool, landing lightly on the water's surface.

Ren Woxing shook his arms, and several meters-long iron chains wrapped around his body, as if he were wearing a black and gold armor. His eyes shone brightly as he stared at Yue Zhuoqun in the distance.

"Impressive skill! I have absorbed the internal energy of countless people throughout my life. Although I have never fully refined it, I still possess the power of eighty or ninety years of cultivation. Yet you only slightly lost the battle when you exchanged blows with me!"

He was extremely confident in his own skills, and this was the first time he had encountered someone who could go toe-to-toe with him using only his internal energy.

"There are only three and a half people in the martial arts world whom I admire!"

Dongfang Bubai is one, Feng Qingyang is one, Shaolin Fangzheng is one, and Wudang Chongxu is half.

Looks like we'll have to add you, Yue Buqun, to the list today!

"Adding one is unnecessary, Fang Zheng is already dead at my hands," Yue Zhuoqun chuckled.

"You...you killed Fang Zheng?"

Ren Woxing stared blankly, unable to calm his emotions.

That was the abbot of Shaolin Temple, the leader of the martial arts world, who was actually killed by Yue Buqun.

What major events happened in the martial arts world during the time he was suppressed at the bottom of West Lake?

"So it turns out I underestimated you."

Ren Woxing's expression turned serious. If Yue Buqun was able to kill Fang Zheng, it meant that the opponent hadn't used his full strength during their fight.

"Ren Woxing, I've experienced your internal strength. Now let me experience the wonders of the Star Absorbing Technique."

"Okay, I'll make it happen for you!"

Ren Woxing let out a low shout, his body trembled, and the lake water beneath his feet was blasted into a spray.

wow~

With his hair flying and his hands outstretched, he pounced on Yue Zhuoqun like a lion hunting its prey, his imposing and majestic aura overwhelming.

Yue Zhuoqun did not dodge, letting Ren Woxing's hands grab his shoulders.

He felt two forces of attraction emanating from the palms of the other's hands, and his own internal energy immediately surged and was drawn into Ren Woxing's body.

Hidden secret method!

The boiling internal energy was instantly suppressed, flowing along a unique meridian route and disappearing inside the body.

Ren Woxing stared blankly, then asked incredulously, "Where...where is your internal energy?"

At this moment, he could no longer sense even a trace of Yue Zhuoqun's internal energy. His body was like an empty shell, no different from an ordinary person who had never practiced martial arts.

This martial art really works!

Yue Zhuoqun's eyes lit up, and then a smile appeared on his lips: "You really want to absorb my internal energy?"

Now that the verification results have been obtained, there is no need to continue to conceal it. The hidden techniques and secret methods are withdrawn, and the Longevity Dao Hidden Technique is put into operation.

Rumble!

A surge of powerful internal energy reappeared in his meridians, like the mighty Yellow River surging forth.

He even intercepted a portion and personally sent it into Ren Woxing's body before shaking his shoulders to break free of the restraints.

With a flick of his wrist, countless illusions materialized and enveloped Ren Woxing.

The trajectory of the hand dancing in the air is incredibly mysterious, as if it contains hundreds of unique skills, encompassing everything and taking in the universe.

The Three Forms of Martial Arts - Great Demon Hand.

Ren Woxing had never seen such a profound move before. The afterimage of his palm fell into his sight, like snowflakes dancing in the sky, or colorful butterflies flitting among flowers and leaves, and finally turning into a silver river flowing across the ground.

Once the beautiful illusion faded, the surrounding space was enveloped by overwhelming killing intent. It was as if he had mistakenly entered a hellish land, with thousands of blades and axes striking him and all kinds of cruel tortures being performed. There was nowhere to escape and no way to break free.

"what!"

He roared, forcibly suppressing his fear, and waved his fists to defend himself.

However, Yue Zhuoqun's hands were extremely agile. With just a light flick, his fists were knocked open, leaving him wide open.

Bang!

A handprint was placed on his chest, and with a loud bang, he was sent flying into the sky.

"Pfft~"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and when he landed again, he was already on the ground.

With a single palm strike, Yue Zhuoqun sent him flying from the lake to the shore, his chest bones shattered and his limbs felt like they were broken, making it difficult for him to get up.

Yue Zhuoqun's body was lifted into the air, and he landed on the shore right after.

He simply placed his hands behind his back, lightly brushing through the air, his posture incredibly elegant and carefree!

"Cough cough... What kind of martial arts is this? What level have you reached?"

Ren Woxing stared intently at Yue Zhuoqun and couldn't help but ask.

He was confident in his martial arts skills, believing that even if he wasn't the strongest in the world, he was certainly among the top three.

But the profound sense of powerlessness he felt when facing Yue Zhuoqun just now filled him with despair.

When Yue Zhuoqun unleashed his Great Demon Hand technique, it was both divine and demonic, capable of breaching cities and destroying mountains.

I feel like an ant, powerless to change anything!

"Instead of focusing on my strength, I should take care of my health first."

"Hmph, it's just a few broken bones, I can still handle it." Ren Woxing stubbornly retorted.

He had nothing to say about being defeated by Yue Zhuoqun, but as the former leader of the Sun Moon Sect and a number one figure in the martial arts world, he could not allow himself to lower himself and beg for mercy!

"If the physical body can withstand it, what about internal energy?"

Ren Woxing was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously focused his mind on his body to observe the circulation of his internal energy.

This sight was quite alarming; it turned his face pale with fright, and he quickly sat cross-legged on the ground to circulate his internal energy.

Within his dantian, it was like a turbulent sea, boiling eternally.

The internal energy that Yue Zhuoqun transferred into his body was the Taoist internal energy of the Longevity Daoist Canon, which was not only extremely pure, but also had its own spiraling energy.

Once inside his body, it was like a small snake, constantly slithering around.

Even the unrefined, exotic internal energy was stirred up, turning the dantian into a chaotic mess, like a powder keg.

It's better if he doesn't use his own power to suppress it; the more he tries to suppress it, the more violent the riot becomes.

It broke through his internal energy blockade and spread throughout his meridians, tearing apart all the meridians it passed through.

bang bang bang...

Explosions continued all over his body, compounding his injuries.

"What kind of demonic internal energy is this? How can it be so difficult to suppress?"

Ren Woxing cried out in panic, bleeding from all seven orifices, "This is much more serious than my previous qi deviation."

"Demonic arts? Ha! This is authentic Taoist internal energy. If you can't suppress it, you can only blame your skills for being too mixed."

"Ah! Damn it, damn it!"

Ren Woxing roared in agony, his body in complete chaos; if this continued, he would surely explode and die.

He was quite decisive; when he couldn't suppress it, he frantically slapped his entire body with his palms.

Bang bang bang!

With each strike, he would spit out a mouthful of blood, and finally raise a finger and sharply point it at his dantian.

puff~

His body deflated instantly, like a punctured balloon.

His hair turned gray at a visible rate, wrinkles appeared on his face, and he collapsed weakly to the ground.

He dispelled the chaotic alien energy by crippling himself.

"Good, good, Yue Buqun, your methods are truly terrifying."

"I've spent my life roaming the world, never imagining it would end like this."

Ren Woxing looked up at the sky, his will and domineering aura completely dissipated, replaced by loneliness and bitterness.

It's truly heartbreaking!

Chapter 78 Cao, the Chief Supervisor, Gets a Bloodbath

In the reception room of Meizhuang, Yue Zhuoqun quietly sipped his tea.

As masters of the arts and culture world, Huang Zhonggong and his three companions, while not having tea ceremony as their greatest passion, had still studied it to some extent and collected quite a few fine teas.

Yue Zhuoqun and Dongfang Bubai, once again, naturally brought out their best tea.

However, Dongfang Bubai's mind was clearly not on the tea ceremony. He held a teacup in his hand, but his eyes kept looking at Yue Zhuoqun.
