Travel through the heavens

Although Helian Tieshu's words were polite, his intention was obviously to challenge the Beggars' Sect. However, since he knew the reputation of the Beggars' Sect's two unique skills, he was still fearless. He was afraid that they came well prepared and would not be easy to deal with.

Xiao Feng thought about it, but he didn't care at all. He said loudly: "Since the general has this intention, the Beggars' Sect will naturally agree. I wonder which hero from your country will come out to compete with me?"

Helian Tieshu smiled and said, "Boss Qiao is really straightforward." Then he raised his hand and waved lightly.

Among the warriors of Xixia, one of them immediately leaped out lightly, jumped over a distance of several feet, and landed silently three feet in front of Xiao Feng. This move showed his extremely high attainment in lightness skills.

The man was a Taoist priest in grey clothes and black beard, about fifty years old, tall and thin, holding an iron plate in his left hand and a thunder shield in his right hand.

Xiao Feng's heart moved, and he clasped his fists and asked, "Are you the Nine-Winged Taoist with the great name 'Thundering in the Nine Heavens'?"

The Taoist returned the greeting with a proud look, saying, "It is me, Boss Qiao, please come in!"

The Nine-Winged Taoist is a master of the Thunder Sect. He is good at Qinggong and is good at using two weapons. His secondary weapon is the iron plate in his left hand, which uses the "42-Route Shu Road Difficult Plate Method" to protect his chest, back, upper body, and left side. It is really like an iron barrel, making it difficult for opponents to attack. His main weapon is the Thunder God Block in his right hand, which uses the "28-Move Thunder God's Wrath Kung Fu" to attack the opponent's vital points. It is as fierce as thunder and as fast as lightning. It is said that he has rarely met an opponent in his life and enjoys a great reputation in the martial arts world.

Many of the beggars had heard of the name of the Nine-Winged Taoist, but they did not expect that he would also join the Yipintang of Western Xia.

After greeting, the Nine-Winged Taoist held the iron plate in his left hand to protect himself, and used his lightness skills to quickly run towards Xiao Feng, floating east and west. The Thunder God Block in his right hand was also ready to go, and he would use the "Spring Thunder" move to strike down as soon as he got close to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng stood still, and when the Nine-Winged Taoist came within ten feet of him, he swung his right palm and hit him, using exactly the "Seeing the Dragon in the Field" move from the "Twenty-Eight Palms of Subduing the Dragon".

I saw a dragon-shaped energy force coming out from Xiao Feng's palm. There was a faint sound of a dragon's roar, and it flew towards the Nine-Winged Taoist at a rapid speed.

When Fang Muye saw the dragon-shaped energy, he nodded secretly in his heart: the energy has taken shape.

In the later stage of the small circulation, the internal energy can penetrate the body, and it can hit objects through the air and hurt people invisibly.

In the middle of the Great Circulation, the inner spirit and inner qi are inseparable, and both the spirit and qi are stable. When the spirit is stable, people are not deceived by evil spirits and illusions; when the qi is stable, the inner qi is not easily damaged and can penetrate the body and take shape.

The fact that Xiao Feng could unleash dragon-shaped palm power was a sign that his internal strength had reached the middle stage of the Great Circulation.

Facing the dragon-shaped force rushing towards him, the Nine-Winged Taoist felt his breath stagnate in just a moment, as if it was surging like a raging tide, pressing down on him like a tidal wave, unstoppable and impossible to avoid.

He was so frightened that he had no time to think of a countermeasure. He stopped in his tracks, tensed his whole body, and shrank behind the iron plate.

There was a loud "bang" sound, and the dragon-shaped palm force hit the iron plate fiercely. The Nine-Winged Taoist suddenly felt a force as heavy as Mount Tai crashing towards him fiercely. His left hand holding the iron plate was broken at the wrist and a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth. He flew back and fell heavily to the ground. He was breathing out more than breathing in, and it was obvious that he was not going to survive.

It only took two breaths of time for the two of them to finish the fight. This was really beyond the expectations of both sides. Even Xiao Feng was stunned and surprised.

Xiao Feng thought to himself, "This Nine-Winged Taoist couldn't even take on my Dragon Subduing Palm. I never thought he was just a name for nothing."

The beggars were secretly delighted: "The leader's Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms has become more and more powerful. Even if the opponent is the famous Nine-Winged Taoist, he was defeated in one move."

They all shouted, "Master, you are so awesome! The masters of Xixia Country's First-Class Hall are boasting about their martial arts being of the first-class level. It turns out that they are just ordinary people. They even want to see our Beggars' Sect's "Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms" and "Dog Beating Stick Technique". What a joke!"

The Xixia people were thinking, "How could Qiao Feng be so powerful? He killed the Nine-Winged Taoist with just one move. If we don't get rid of him, we will be in big trouble!"

Helian Tieshu had relied heavily on the Nine-Winged Taoist, but he had not expected him to be so incompetent. Not only did he lose his life, but he also lost face. His expression turned cold for a moment, then returned to normal, and he said with a smile, "Haha, Boss Qiao and your gang's Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms are indeed worthy of their reputation. I am convinced."

Just as Xiao Feng was about to speak, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes and could not open them. Tears kept pouring out. He was shocked and quickly held his breath. He jumped up and rushed towards Helian Tieshu. However, just as he got close to Helian Tieshu, his hands and feet felt numb and he fell to the ground. He was unable to move even a finger.

"Oh no, the Tartars are causing trouble!"

"What's in my eye?"

"Ah, I can't open my eyes."

Xiao Feng's ears continued to ring with the cries of the beggars behind him, as well as the sounds of "Gudong" and "Ayo". It was obvious that all of his people had been tricked by the Xixia people without knowing it.

Xiao Feng was lying on the ground at this time, facing the direction of Helian Tieshu. He saw Helian Tieshu pointing at him and ordering him, "Kill him." Then he saw the Xixia warrior holding the copper hammer swinging it and smashing it down on his head. He thought to himself, "My life is over! What a pity that my parents' revenge has not yet been avenged!"

Just when Xiao Feng was feeling disheartened, he suddenly felt an extremely powerful force rapidly passing over his body and striking the Xixia warrior fiercely, causing him to fly high backwards.

Xiao Feng felt his eyes blurry again, and when he looked again, a figure was standing in front of him. He grabbed Helian Tieshu's neck with his right hand and lifted him up high. He immediately felt a sense of relief for surviving the calamity.

At this critical moment, the person who saved Xiao Feng's life and captured Helian Tieshu was Fang Muye.

Fang Muye knew the plot, so after Helian Tieshu led his men into the apricot forest, he began to observe carefully, wary of the other party spreading the "Sad and Soft Breeze".

However, "Sad and Soft Breeze" is a colorless and odorless poison gas, which is refined into water by Yipintang using poisons collected from the Happy Valley in the Great Snow Mountain of Western Xia. It is usually stored in bottles. When they use it, their own noses have already been stuffed with antidote. When the cork is pulled out, the poisonous water immediately turns into steam and comes out like a breeze blowing on the body. No matter how clever a person is, he cannot detect it. By the time his eyes start to hurt, the poison gas has already rushed into his brain.

After being poisoned, tears fall like rain, which is called "sorrow"; the whole body cannot move, which is called "numbness"; the poison gas is colorless and odorless, which is called "clear breeze".

Although Fang Muye had the intention, the Xixia warriors were hidden in the crowd, so he could not detect them quietly taking out the poison bottle and uncorking it.

When his inner spirit and energy responded and eliminated the poison, and he saw the poisoning reactions of the people, he realized that the Xixia people had used the "Sad and Soft Breeze".

Although Xiao Feng is a top master comparable to the middle stage of the Great Zhoutian, his internal strength has not yet been cultivated to the level of being immune to all poisons, and he has not practiced his spirit, so he cannot be immune.

Seeing the Xixia warrior swinging the copper hammer in his hand towards Xiao Feng, Fang Muye took a step forward and struck the Xixia warrior with his right hand. When he struck out, he was still about ten feet away from the Xixia warrior, but his speed was as fast as lightning. When the power was generated from his palm, the two were only thirty or four feet apart.

The surging palm force penetrated the distance and, at the critical moment, knocked the Xixia warrior, whose copper hammer was only a few inches away from Xiao Feng's head, flying away. While his body was still in mid-air, Fang Muye had instantly flashed in front of Helian Tieshu, achieving the goal of "capture the king first".

Looking at Helian Tieshu, whose face was red and swollen due to suffocation, Fang Muye slightly loosened the strength of his hands, and Helian Tieshu suddenly began to cough and gasp violently.

Fang Muye said coldly: "Hand over all the antidotes for 'Sad and Pure Breeze'."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a burst of chaotic howling. It turned out that the bronze hammer warrior who was knocked away by him had just crashed into the group of Xixia warriors, causing more than a dozen casualties.

Helian Tieshu was terrified and shouted, "Quickly get the antidote! Quickly bring all the antidotes!"

Immediately, a Xixia warrior took the order and went forward, took six small porcelain bottles from several well-dressed Xixia people, and presented them respectfully to Fang Muye.

Fang Muye saw eight characters written on the bottle: "Sad and soft breeze, smell it and you will be cured", so he gestured to Xiao Feng and said to the Xixia warrior: "You cure his poison first."

The Xixia warrior did not dare to resist, and hurriedly uncorked a porcelain bottle, leaned over and put it to Xiao Feng's nose, saying, "Boss Qiao, just take a sniff."

Xiao Feng only felt a very foul smell rushing into his nose, but since his master had asked the Xixia people to detoxify him, he did not suspect anything and took a few deep sniffs.

He was not seriously poisoned at the time, and after a few puffs, the paralysis in his limbs disappeared. He reached out to take the porcelain bottle and took two more puffs, and the feeling of weakness in his limbs completely disappeared and he returned to normal.

Xiao Feng stood up and said to Fang Muye, "Thank you, Master. I am fine now."

Fang Muye smiled and nodded, saying, "Go and detoxify everyone first."

Xiao Feng responded and went to help Wu Changfeng detoxify first. When Wu Changfeng was able to move his hands and feet, he gave him all five porcelain bottles and said, "Elder Wu, take these antidotes and help all the brothers detoxify one by one."

Wu Changfeng said, "Yes! Boss!" and went away with the bottle.
