Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

If Li Xiuyuan didn't want Bu Jingyun to die, he absolutely couldn't let him face Xiong Ba alone!

Xiong Ba said in a deep voice, "You know perfectly well that Bu Jingyun is a traitor to my World Society, yet you still dare to harbor him. Are you sincerely trying to make an enemy of me?"

The Demonic Sect.

What the hell?

"How come I've never heard of it?" Xiong Ba thought to himself, assuming it was just some unknown minor sect.

Although they are currently an unknown faction, they will become famous in three days.

Li Xiuyuan clapped his hands and smiled, “So what! As the saying goes: ‘A golden carp is no ordinary fish in a pond; it will transform into a dragon once it encounters wind and clouds!’ These are the two sentences that Chief Xiong received from the Mud Bodhisattva’s prophecy.”

This refers to the first half of Xiong Gang Leader's empire, which was accomplished with the help of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun. Half a year ago, Xiong Gang Leader sought divination from the Mud Bodhisattva and received a prophecy for the second half of his life: "The dragon's roar in the nine heavens will shake the world; the winds and clouds will meet in shallow waters!"

"You're referring to the powerful and domineering world, which will be destroyed by Fengyun. You fear the destruction of your empire, so you've been plotting to eliminate Fengyun. Am I wrong?"

Throughout the early stages of the story, everything revolved around the predictions of the Mud Bodhisattva. Moreover, the Mud Bodhisattva was very knowledgeable about destiny, and his predictions were extremely accurate.

Xiong Ba was taken aback upon hearing this and said coldly, "Hmph, what a joke! My life is in my own hands, why would I be afraid of the prophecy of a clay Bodhisattva?"

As he spoke, he appeared disdainful, but inwardly he was extremely surprised. How did this person know about what he had done in such a secretive way?

Fortunately, Xiong Ba lived up to his reputation as a powerful and ruthless figure, and quickly regained his composure, refuting the accusations without changing his expression.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "If the Overlord is not afraid, why would he use Kong Ci to sow discord among the three disciples?"

The reason the three brothers ended up like this is actually related to Xiong Ba. He knew that Bu Jingyun liked Kong Ci and had an improper relationship with her, but he still betrothed her to Qin Shuang.

As for Qin Shuang accepting Kong Ci because of this, how could he not be angry when his wife was taken away?

After listening to Li Xiuyuan's words, Bu Jingyun thought about them carefully and found them to be very reasonable.

Xiong Ba said coldly, "No matter how eloquent you are, I will kill you today to avoid ruining the relationship between us, master and disciple."

As he spoke, his figure soared into the air, the energy beneath his feet converging, forming the whirlwind of the Wind God Leg.

A massive whirlwind formed beneath Xiong Ba, propelling him to unleash countless kicks that swept towards Li Xiuyuan.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly. He unleashed the Cloud-Dispelling Palm, its movements elusive, meeting the myriad of leg shadows without finding any point of contact. Then, with a sudden pull, a continuous, sticky force was generated.

This immediately deflected Xiong Ba's Divine Wind Kick upwards, leaving him wide open.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xiuyuan secretly gathered his strength and unleashed his powerful palm strike, which struck Xiong Ba's vital waist.

This technique, with its ethereal and ever-changing Yin and Yang, transforms from extreme softness to extreme hardness in an instant. This is precisely the most powerful aspect of the ninth move of the Cloud Dispelling Palm, "Unpredictable Clouds."

Among Xiong Ba's three ultimate skills, "Heavenly Frost" counters "Cloud Dispelling", "Cloud Dispelling" counters "Wind God", and "Wind God" counters "Heavenly Frost".

Xiong Ba divided the knowledge among his three disciples, Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng, and forbade them from exchanging or passing it on to each other. This was precisely a strategy of restraint and balance in politics.

And no matter which of the three disciples uses their ultimate techniques, they will be restrained by him.

Li Xiuyuan used the Cloud-Dispelling Palm technique he had just learned to catch Xiong Ba off guard.

Xiong Ba was greatly shocked. He hadn't expected this person to know the Cloud-Dispelling Palm Technique, and that he could use it just as well as he could. However, he had put decades of effort into this skill, and it was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

In his early years, Xiong Ba and Xiong Wu studied under the Three Masters Elder, learning the Frost Fist, Cloud Dispelling Palm, and Wind God Leg Technique, thus achieving the Three Masters.

After mastering his skills, the Three Masters decided to bestow the "Three Kingdoms Return to Origin" manual upon either Xiong Wu or Xiong Ba. Xiong Ba then sought to obtain the manual.

He won the duel by provoking Xiong Ba with words, but the Three Masters Elder saw through Xiong Ba's ambition and passed on the secret manual to Xiong Wu instead.

That night, Xiong Ba poisoned his master at the banquet, killing the Three Absolutes Elder on the spot. However, Xiong Wu still managed to escape with the "Three Kingdoms Return to Origin".

Xiong Ba became sworn brothers with Yu Feijing, a martial arts hero who had been living in seclusion for many years. Later, he heard that the Yu family possessed the divine skill "Wedding Dress Divine Technique," so he used the Iron Corpse Silkworm to harm Yu Feijing's daughter, Yu'er, and seized the Yu family's assets to establish the World Society.

Over the years, Xiong Ba has created the Three-Part Divine Finger, which is no weaker than the Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi. Now that his life is in danger, he no longer intends to hide it.

But then, in mid-air, Xiong Ba pointed his finger and swiftly struck out, heading straight for Li Xiuyuan. Boundless black clouds, frost and snow all over the sky, and raging winds swept in!

Chapter 66 Three-point Divine Finger

The power of this one finger is enough to shake heaven and earth! No matter how boundless the clouds and seas may be, I can sweep them away with a single finger.

The sharpness of this finger can pierce mountains! No matter how merciless the frost and snow may be, I can penetrate them with a single finger.

With a single finger, I can outrun lightning! No matter how unpredictable the winds, I can surpass them with a single finger.

Although this move is a finger technique, it incorporates the domineering and ruthless nature of spear techniques, which sweep across the world, and also adds a touch of the unique lightness and unpredictability of finger techniques.

The heavens and earth seemed to change color because of this one finger. Li Xiuyuan saw that the person behind him did not change color, but he slowly pointed out his finger, and endless killing intent surged out. The sword energy at the fingertip was truly terrifying.

The will of the heart and the intent of the sword, the heart of the sword and the will of the heart, merged together almost flawlessly at this moment.

This is both the murderous intent that surges forth from the hearts of men, and the unique killing aura of the Thirteen Deadly Swords.

The chilling sword aura penetrated to the bone, and the icy killing intent froze the soul.

Rumble!

In mid-air, finger force and sword energy merged, instantly obliterating everything. The surging energy spread out in all directions, and no one dared to approach within a radius of ten feet.

The Three-Point Divine Finger is a martial art that can completely counter the Heavenly Frost Fist, Cloud-Dispelling Palm, and Wind God Leg.

The moves are: Severing Jade and Dividing Gold, Dividing the World into Three, and Urgent Matters.

The essence of the Heavenly Frost Fist lies in its coldness and perseverance, the essence of the Cloud Dispelling Palm lies in its unpredictability and formlessness, and the essence of the Wind God Leg lies in its freedom and unpredictability.

These ideas don't really align with Xiong Ba's mindset, so when they are displayed, they only have techniques but no martial arts intent.

However, the Three-Point Divine Finger was entirely created by Xiong Ba himself. With perfect unity of mind and body, it possessed immense power. Yet, this person before him was able to withstand it, which greatly surprised him.

The Three-Point Divine Finger was originally Xiong Ba's secret weapon, intended to be used against Sword Saint and Nameless. However, Li Xiuyuan used the Cloud-Dispelling Palm, catching him off guard. This made him even more resentful towards Bu Jingyun.

Xiong Ba's face turned ashen, and he said in a deep voice, "My good disciple, you have truly exceeded my expectations, but this is where it ends!"

As he spoke, he flew over and threw a punch.

A bone-chilling, intense cold suddenly spread outwards, causing the surrounding clouds to condense into ice, which then turned into small hailstones that fell to the ground, quickly forming an increasingly thick layer of ice.

Heavenly Frost Fist - Frost Congeals in the Mid-Sky!

When Xiong Ba used the Frost-Slaying Cloud-Piercing Fist technique, he was trying to force out Li Xiuyuan's true abilities.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up and he chuckled, "Xiong Ba, do you really think you've got me cornered!"

As he spoke, his figure soared into the air, the Great Sun Tathagata True Qi and the Supreme Heavenly Demon True Qi beneath his feet, the black and white energy merging to form a whirlwind, which swept across the sky with countless leg shadows.

Li Xiuyuan, relying on the Buddha and Heavenly Demon in his dantian, instantly learned this Wind God Leg Technique - Wind Sweeps Away Clouds - when fighting Xiong Ba.

Upon seeing this, Xiong Ba's expression changed drastically. He immediately changed his moves, and the frost covering the sky turned into clouds of sorrow. With a flick of his Cloud-Dispelling Palm, he pulled Li Xiuyuan away, leaving him wide open in an instant.

Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "I am not like you, who is completely ignorant of change."

As he spoke, the leg, which had been deflected by the sticky force, suddenly generated two fierce forces, one yin and one yang, which converged and spun rapidly, instantly transforming into a high-speed cutting force.

This unstoppable force sliced ​​through the sticky energy of the Cloud-Piercing Palm like a hot knife through butter, and with a turn of its leg, it slashed straight down at Xiong Ba's head from an unbelievable angle.

Although this move still uses the legs, it is actually more like Nezha, the Third Prince, who uses the high-speed spinning wind and fire wheels on his feet to cut and injure the enemy. It is not a leg move but a knife move.

If Xiong Ba hadn't changed his move, his head would have been split in two like a watermelon before his palm strike could hit Li Xiuyuan.

In his shock, Xiong Ba could only quickly withdraw his attack and retreat. However, the swirling force of the blade swept past, and blood splattered from his left shoulder downwards, leaving a shallow but long wound, just like a sharp sword technique.

Seeing that Xiong Ba was injured, Li Xiuyuan laughed and asked, "How is Xiong Ba's leg technique?"

As he spoke, a hint of pride appeared on his face. After all, he had just learned the technique and was trying to injure the other party with his signature move, which was extremely difficult.

Xiong Ba's face flushed red and then turned pale. He knew in his heart that this person's martial arts were terrifying. Few people in the world could rival him. He could learn the Wind God Leg technique with just one glance.

If this isn't resolved quickly, I'll be absolutely doomed to defeat once I've learned all three skills.

Xiong Ba said coldly, "Hmph, these scoundrels have gone too far!"

As he spoke, he brought his index, middle, and ring fingers together, and the force of his thrust was truly terrifying, with a fierce and unparalleled surge of energy coming like a raging torrent.

In Li Xiuyuan's eyes, that finger strike was as heavy as a mountain, domineering and boundless, as if it wanted to crush and pierce through everything, and as fast as thunder and lightning, arriving suddenly from the void.

In an instant, it reached his face, the force so intense that his brow throbbed. Yet, with a slight tremor in his fingertips, it seemed to contain countless unpredictable and agile moves, enveloping all the vital points on his body.

The original three energies of red, green, and blue, which were originally part of the Three-Part Returning Qi, are now tightly intertwined and merged into one, inseparable, and have an added dark, cold, and sorrowful aura.

The violent vibration of true energy caused huge fluctuations in the air around the finger, suddenly creating a whirlwind around it.

Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he thought to himself that this finger technique was amazing. Whether it was Duan Shuai or Nie Renwang, they would be subdued by Xiong Ba. In the current martial arts world, only Wuming could rival him.

As for the Sword Saint, before he has mastered Sword Twenty-Three, it is still unknown who will win or lose, but Li Xiuyuan is not afraid at all.

But as he brought his index finger together and pointed it out, the void was vast and desolate, and the chaos was deathly silent. Xiong Ba was instantly enveloped by the sword intent. As soon as his eyes met the changes in the sword technique, he felt unable to move, as if his life had been frozen.

He had a mouth but could not speak.

Having ears but unable to hear.

He has eyes but cannot see.

He could not think, he could not ponder, he could not contemplate; all his thoughts ceased, and only an indescribable fear arose instinctively.

Only that ethereal sword light remained between heaven and earth, slashing towards Xiong Ba in a manner that mortals could neither conceive nor comprehend.

Chapter 67 The Twelve Fiends of Tianchi

The sword flashed and vanished in an instant, the smoke dissipating and the sword light disappearing into the distance.

With a pop, the wind dissipated, the clouds vanished, and the frost receded, leaving only Xiong Ba with a deathly pale face.

boom!
