Wuxia: Start with max-level Nine Yang Divine Skill

Dai Yue glanced contemptuously at Cao Mufeng, who was growing increasingly agitated in the prison cart, and continued speaking to Li Fudao.

"I tried it and it worked wonders. In the past, it would have taken some effort or even a hard fight to subdue a master, but with just a flick of his sleeve, he fell to the ground."

With this drug, I effortlessly plundered treasures, as easily as taking candy from a baby, until…”

"Until you stumbled at the Golden Whale Escort Agency."

Li Fudao.

Dai Yue's face stiffened.

"You only have the formula for the drug, but no antidote."

Furthermore, the gods are exceptionally domineering—"If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet."

Cao Mufeng probably didn't give his brother the antidote formula so that his brother wouldn't use it recklessly and could only use it to save his life in critical moments.

Li Fu then coldly stated his deduction.

"That day, you were probably waiting for the Jinwei Escort Agency to come, preparing to rob the caravan, but while preparing the sleeping potion, you accidentally touched the poison yourself, and your whole body became stiff and numb, and you collapsed by the roadside."

"If you hadn't half-truthfully revealed your identity, the caravan would probably have mistaken you for an ordinary bandit and killed you with a single blow."

Dai Yue's face turned ashen, clearly indicating that he had been hit where it hurt.

"Having survived this ordeal, you are determined to obtain the antidote, otherwise you may not have such good fortune again next time."

In fact, this matter has indeed left you with a fatal flaw.

—After that, the notorious robber who had only focused on committing bloodshed and looting treasures suddenly changed his ways. He actually sent a note to the government, willing to provoke them in order to ransom Cao Yu.

On the surface, it was out of loyalty, but in reality, he was after Cao Mufeng, who possessed the formula for the miraculous antidote.

Li Fu continued.

"You did this on purpose to provoke the government to investigate the case with all your might."

Everyone knows that before Cao Yu died, he boasted that his powerful elder brother would come to his rescue. Your provocation will naturally lead others to believe that the treasure robber is Cao Mufeng.

When Cao Mufeng learns that someone is willing to go to great lengths and risk death to save his brother, he will also become curious and secretly investigate.

Once the two sides clash, no matter how skilled Cao Mufeng is in martial arts, he will eventually be no match for the power of the imperial court.

Even if you aren't captured, your whereabouts will be exposed, giving you a clue.

Of course, it would be best if we could capture him.

"In Yanzhou, if one truly wishes to imprison such a master, where else besides the iron prison you oversee?"

Li Fu stared at Dai Yue and slowly said, "Your scheme is ostensibly for Cao Yu, but in reality for Cao Mufeng, all for the sake of obtaining the antidote for the Immortal's Fall."

It was truly a tale of countless intrigues and cunning schemes.

Dai Yue's face was ashen. He remained silent for a long time, the mountain wind whipping up the hem of his robes, making a rustling sound. Finally, he slowly uttered a few words.

"What you said... is all correct."

The truth has come to light.

It really is Dai Yue.

Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, gasped, and blurted out.

"My lord, fortunately, no matter how many tricks Dai Yue had, you saw through them at a glance."

Upon hearing this, Dai Yue's eyes blazed with murderous intent, almost solidifying into a tangible form. The black-robed man on the branch also subtly moved his sleeves, locking his aura onto Li Fu.

A sudden gust of mountain wind blew, rustling the leaves in the forest.

Two masters faced off.

At that moment, a roar erupted from inside the prison van.

Cao Mufeng, who finally learned the whole story, had bloodshot eyes. The chains around his body rattled violently, making the steel bars vibrate loudly.

"Dai Yue—! Give me back my brother's life—!"

He roared fiercely, filled with grief and indignation, startling the birds in the forest.

Dai Yue didn't even blink, completely ignoring Cao Mufeng, who was already a prisoner, and stared intently at Li Fu with a cold smile on his lips.

"You are indeed clever; you managed to find out everything."

Unfortunately, it's too late. We've already captured Cao Mufeng, and it's only a matter of time before we extract the antidote formula for the "Immortal's Fall."

"And you, you will die here today."

As he uttered the last word, Dai Yue suddenly sprang to his feet.

This movement was like a tiger bursting from its cage, or a mad lion pouncing on its prey.

He was riding a horse, but now he suddenly leaped into the air. His dark blue prison official robe billowed like sails, rustling loudly. Even before he arrived, a fierce and domineering gust of wind rushed towards him.

Li Fu slapped his horse and rose into the air like a startled swan, declaring, "After today, no one will be able to say who will die."

"Arrogant!"

The two met in mid-air in a flash.

"The Great Monument Smasher"

Dai Yue struck out with his palm, the wind howling and bringing with it the sound of thunder and lightning. It was the ultimate martial arts technique – the Great Monument-Shattering Hand.

This palm technique is incredibly powerful and unparalleled. It is said that when mastered, a single palm strike can shatter stone tablets and destroy iron weapons.

Ordinary martial arts masters, upon seeing this palm strike and combined with Dai Yue's superhuman strength, knew its power and could only dodge and retreat, never daring to take it head-on.

Li Fu, however, neither dodged nor avoided; instead, he flipped his right palm and met the attack head-on.

Interlock your palms.

boom--!

A muffled thud, like boulders colliding.

The force of the energy spread outwards, stirring up dust and causing withered leaves to dance wildly.

Dai Yue felt an overwhelming and powerful internal force surge towards him, so strong that his arm went numb.

It flew backwards involuntarily, and upon landing, it couldn't help but take two steps back, each step leaving deep footprints on the dirt road.

"What?!"

Dai Yue was greatly shocked.

Having dominated the battlefield for over two decades and become renowned throughout the martial arts world, he relied on two martial arts skills.

First, the Thirteen Protectors' Golden Bell Cover external martial arts have reached a state of perfection; second, their Great Stele-Smashing Hand is fierce and domineering, rarely encountering an opponent.

Legend has it that if the Thirteen Protectors' Golden Bell Cover is perfected, it will have the strength to withstand five horses. Even if one is subjected to the punishment of being torn apart by five horses, one will be pulled back.

"I thought my external martial arts skills were already perfected, and I had great strength. In addition, I had the Great Stele-Smashing Hand, which was ranked among the best martial arts skills. I never thought that someone could knock me back in a head-on collision."

It seems that the day I caught up with you, when you chopped down a big tree in front of you and saw that you didn't even flinch, it was right of me not to attack you afterwards.

Otherwise, I might not have been able to get this done before it was exposed.

A look of fear appeared on Dai Yue's face, and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

"You're really brave."

At that time, there was no sign that your identity was about to be exposed, yet you already had the idea of ​​killing someone to cover it up?

Li Fu landed gracefully, his blue robe fluttering slightly, his expression calm.

Just then, shouts of battle arose from all around.

Seeing Dai Yue make his move, the assassins in black roared in unison and brandished their knives at the constables brought by Li Fu.

Chen Tao drew his sword and shouted sharply, "Kill!"

The constables and officers formed a circle back to back, their blades flashing, as they fought against the black-clad assassins.

The sounds of metal clashing, shouts, and screams mingled together, and blood splattered everywhere.

Li Fu remained unfazed.

"But nothing will change; you're still going to die here."

Dai Yue stomped his foot.

boom!

A shockwave of dust exploded from the ground.

His already imposing, towering body seemed to expand even further, and his skin shimmered with a faint golden glow in the afterglow of the sunlight, resembling a golden Arhat in a temple.

This was precisely the sign that his Thirteen Protectors' Golden Bell Cover, which he relied on to dominate the battlefield, had reached its peak.

Dai Yue shot out like a boulder launched from a catapult, and wherever he passed, the withered branches and leaves on the ground were swept up by the strong wind, forming a straight trail of dust that rushed straight towards Li Fu!

"You're not good enough for me."

Your martial arts skills are powerful but lack finesse.

Instead of retreating, Li Fu advanced, lightly touching the ground with his toes, and pounced again.

His palms flew, creating a series of palm shadows. Each strike carried the faint sound of wind and thunder like the roar of a dragon. His moves were ancient and powerful, yet also majestic and awe-inspiring. Golden dragon-shaped energy struck horizontally.
