Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Every punch from Jue Wushen seemed to be delivered with all his might, but the next punch was always stronger, more ruthless, and heavier.

In one breath, with unstoppable momentum, hundreds of punches were unleashed in an instant, the force and power of each punch accumulating to an incredibly terrifying degree like a snowball rolling downhill.

However, not a single sound of fists or feet striking solid ground was heard. Li Xiuyuan stood in the air, without moving even half a step, casually raising his arms and waving his palms to parry.

Rumble!

The two men's fists collided, producing a series of crisp, thunderous sounds.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Jue Wushen, you shouldn't have come to the Central Plains."

Originally, he did not plan to go to Japan. After all, there were many powerful people in this world, and Li Xiuyuan, who was only at the Golden Core stage, could barely protect himself.

If we really went to Japan, who knows what kind of demons and monsters we would attract? Now that no god has come knocking on our door, it's practically like giving away merit points!

"hateful!"

Jue Wushen roared in anger. Seeing that the other party had easily blocked his attack, he knew in his heart that this person's martial arts were so strong that even Wuming was no match for him.

Originally, after cultivating the Undying Golden Body, Wu Shen believed he was not much weaker than Wu Ming, but when he encountered Li Xiuyuan, he felt powerless. However, if he gave up, he feared he would lose his life.

Roar!

Jue Wushen exhausted his breath, his momentum declined, and he suddenly threw a punch. The power of the punch was not as strong as before, but the energy of the punch was still strong.

Just moments ago, Li Xiuyuan was relentlessly battered by the raging storm, but suddenly unleashed a monstrous tsunami with the force to tear apart the sky and cleave through the clouds.

His hundreds of punches merged into one, all rebounding back to form a giant fist that far surpassed the limits of Jue Wushen. It slammed down, intending to crush Jue Wushen, who was blocking the cannon's muzzle, into dust!

Faced with a punch that was nearly ten times stronger than his own limit, powerful and despair-inducing, Jue Wushen showed no fear or hesitation, neither dodging nor avoiding, and met the punch head-on.

In his desperate situation, Jue Wushen, whose momentum had already waned, threw a punch that was completely silent, without even stirring up a gust of wind.

Compared to Li Xiuyuan's powerful attack, which was as strong as a locust trying to stop a chariot, it was like a chariot being stopped by a locust's arm.

However, this punch unleashed an unprecedentedly powerful and vigorous force, completely different from the roaring, thunderous explosions.

Rather, it is a subtle, almost imperceptible vibration, like "hearing thunder in silence," yet extremely solid and vast, like the wondrous sound of Vajra.

Precisely because it has reached the extreme of fierceness, it returns to its true nature and does not show it outwardly.

The moment the punch was thrown, an inexplicable shockwave spread throughout the void like ripples, blurring and distorting everything.

It wasn't a distortion caused by blurred vision, but rather a real blur, as if everything became as fragile and easily dispersed as drifting clouds under this punch.

Chapter 86 Powerful Strike, Breaking Army Submits

boom!

This punch was earth-shattering; even the indestructible Godless was utterly defeated and powerless to fight back.

On the square of Baijian Manor, Jue Wushen fell to the ground like a meteor, crashing down and crushing an area of ​​nearly a hundred meters in radius, causing the entire Baijian Manor to tremble.

All that could be seen were bloodshot eyes, panting heavily, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and his entire body already shattered to pieces.

This punch definitely dealt a severe blow to Jue Wushen.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Li Xiuyuan only retaliated with one punch, but with that one punch, Jue Wushen was already defeated and killed.

This overlord of Japan died by his own fist technique, which can be considered a fitting end.

The immense momentum of Li Xiuyuan's side naturally attracted everyone's attention. After seeing Jue Wushen's miserable appearance, everyone knew that this trip had failed.

The most important thing right now is to get out of here as quickly as possible, though only a few smart people have thought of that.

Li Xiuyuan's gaze swept over, and the Sword Worship Manor was in complete chaos, with the sounds of fighting filling the air. What surprised him most was that Jian Chen and Duan Lang, who had joined forces, were being defeated by an individual.

This man was a burly giant, holding a sword in each hand. The swords were broad and inlaid with a blood-red gemstone that resembled the eye of a wolf. Blood-red light flowed from them, and the swords howled through the air with a heart-wrenching sound, just like the howl of a wolf.

The blade is long and narrow, golden in color, radiating a fierce light and exuding a chilling killing intent; it is indeed in the style of a Japanese sword.

The sword is named Greedy Wolf, the saber is named Heavenly Blade, and the man is named Breaking Army!

The sword, the man, and the sword are one, all exuding an arrogant and domineering killing intent that terrifies anyone who sees them.

No wonder the two of them couldn't defeat them!

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan flew over and said calmly, "Jian Chen and Duan Lang, I will deal with this person. You two should step back first! Don't let the Japanese get away."

As he spoke, he appeared on the battlefield where the three were fighting, and Duan Lang and Jian Chen quickly retreated upon hearing this.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan looked at the person in front of him and said calmly, "Po Jun, I will give you a chance to submit to me and I will spare your life."

Po Jun was the son of the Sword Sect's leader. Back then, when he was only twenty years old, he had already reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship. In order to make further progress, he and his wife returned to their sect, the Sword Sect, hoping to learn the supreme sword technique, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin.

Jian Hui insisted that Wuming fight his son Pojun first before he would pass on the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect to the victor.

On the day of the decisive battle, Po Jun's face was instantly injured by Wu Ming's sword. Po Jun used a move that drew all the swords in the arena toward Wu Ming, who countered by sending the swords flying toward the twelve pillars.

In order to protect the ice cellar, the experts in the arena pushed each pillar to hold it up. Just as Wuming shook off Po Jun's sword and was about to stab Po Jun, Jian Hui threw out a jade ring, which landed right in front of the sword's edge.

This jade ring was given to him by his biological parents when he was born, and it was given to him as a gift when he became a disciple.

Wuming didn't know how the sword could be thrust down, but Jianhui had already used the Heaven-Returning Ice Technique to freeze the twelve masters, and at the same time, he himself was also frozen inside. Wuming's sword was also frozen.

After Po Jun's defeat and retreat, he killed Wu Ming's entire family and fled the Central Plains. He learned the "Killing Wolf" move and wanted to return to take revenge. However, upon learning that Wu Ming was dead, he returned to the Central Plains to seize the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" technique.

In Po Jun's mind, the key to the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One must be in Jian Chen's hands, which is why he sought him out for a duel.

"Demon Lord!"

Po Jun exclaimed in surprise. He had long known of Li Xiuyuan's prowess, after all, he had killed an unknown person, so how could he not pay more attention!

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "That's right, it is indeed me."

Because slaying the dragon requires seven people, and Po Jun is just the right person, that's why he's so easy to talk to; otherwise, he could have just been killed directly.

Po Jun was furious upon hearing this, but considering the power of the Demon Lord, his first thought was to survive. Since Jue Wushen was already dead, he was now without a master.

Po Jun coldly replied, "Fine, as long as the Demon Lord can convince me wholeheartedly, I will submit to you."

As he spoke, he launched his attack. The two invisible and silent sword energies and blades clashed together, producing a continuous series of loud and resounding sounds. The surrounding earth and rocks turned to dust, and the trees were broken and the flowers were withered.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan laughed and said, "You are far inferior to Wuming."

As he spoke, he slowly pointed his finger, and a sword aura shot out.

With a 'pop', Po Jun's most powerful attack was easily neutralized in his hands.

Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up as he calmly said, "So, do you submit or not?"

Upon hearing this, Po Jun said resentfully, "I submit!"

There was no other way; when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. If Li Xiuyuan was unhappy, he could just kill him, and then there would be no going back.

At this point, Po Jun did not want to die, and since there was absolutely no way for Shen to die, then his wife Yan Ying could be won back.

Li Xiuyuan was satisfied upon hearing this. The duel was nearing its end. With his instructions, Juexin, who originally wanted to escape, was blocked by Jian Chen.

With the help of Duan Lang, he was killed, and the nearly ten thousand Gui Cha Luo also suffered heavy losses.

After all, the overall strength of the experts in the Central Plains is greater than that of the people in the East; they only occasionally produce a powerful figure.

…………

With the surrender of the Sword Worship Manor, Li Xiuyuan's trip was almost complete. First, he obtained a peerless sword, and second, he killed a Japanese master, gaining a lot of merit points.

With Po Jun's submission and his divine weapon, five of the seven people needed to slay the dragon are now available.

Finally, there is the Sword of Defeat, which can be considered the brother sword of the peerless sword.

The first sword that Ao Ri forged to eliminate the Fire Qilin was the Sword of Destruction, which was also the prototype of the peerless sword.

But as the sword was nearing completion, nine out of the ten swordsmiths who participated in its forging were killed by the murderous aura emanating from the sword.

Therefore, Ao Ri and the only remaining swordsmith abandoned the task of forging this extremely vicious and evil sword. Instead, they used the remaining half of the cold iron to forge another peerless cold sword, based on the shape of the defeated sword. This sword later became known as the Peerless Sword.

The unfinished sword of defeat is hidden in the Sword Tomb of Sword Mountain Manor, buried in an ancient bronze coffin.

Li Xiuyuan had it retrieved. This sword lacked the sword spirit, the essence of which was hidden within it. It had been stolen by a swordsmith and hidden inside the Little Dragon's Golden Saber.

Chapter 87 Myriad Qi Spontaneously Arises, Sword Explodes Acupoint

He specifically sent people to search for it, and it was a success. Three days later, Zhong Mei began forging the Sword of Defeat.

Li Xiuyuan has already decided on the owner of this sword: Xiong Ba. With his cultivation level, he should be able to control it. In that case, the Sword of Defeat will be the sixth divine weapon!

As for the last one, Li Xiuyuan also sent someone to retrieve it, which was the Heavenly Sin on Iron Heart Island. The date of slaying the dragon should not be far off, he thought to himself.

…………

Spring is still gathering strength in the south, but the wind and snow in the north have already nipped all signs of spring in the bud.

In the desolate northern desert, the wind and frost relentlessly assail us 365 days a year, and there is no spring to speak of.

The swirling snow transformed into countless deep, bone-piercing swords, slashing and thrusting left and right.

For miles around, there was no sign of human habitation. The wild cypress trees were extremely rare. Apart from the boundless silvery white, there were only dark rocks exposed above the snow, carved by the cold and merciless wind and snow over thousands of years, revealing a desolate scene.

This place is not only a frozen wasteland, but also a dead zone.

Amidst a howling, all-encompassing blizzard, a tiny, inconspicuous vortex of wind suddenly appeared, and then, out of nowhere, Li Xiuyuan appeared on the desolate, snow-covered ground.

He appeared to arrive from the sky, without beginning or end, yet with perfect naturalness, as if he had previously merged with the swirling snow and wind, and then suddenly separated from it.

"This is the Sword Sect?"

Li Xiuyuan looked up and saw that it was a dark ice cellar, and the gatehouse sign at the exit was already covered with ice and snow.
