It was a hand as white as jade, with a layer of mist-like true qi flowing in the palm. With a single press in the air, it shattered several yards of air.

Without any warning, the palm appeared behind the seven people, and the group of martial artists only then noticed a young man with a refined demeanor and a pure white robe, with white eyebrows and silver-white hair, suddenly appearing behind the seven.

"Be careful!"

Qi Su, the eldest disciple of Luoxia Sect, was both shocked and angry. The demon soldier Zhao Xueshan, however, struck with his fists and palms, completely suppressing Qi Su, and revealed a cold smile: "You can't even save yourself, yet you worry about others. Do you think my burial pit is unprepared? If everything is known, how can I command my subordinates and issue orders!"

Not good!

In that split second, the faces of the seven young disciples from various sects turned pale. They had not anticipated that there was another demon soldier hidden in the burial pit. In that instant, their "Seven Kill Life-Shattering Sword Formation," which they had just learned, could not be smoothly executed, and they found it difficult to withdraw.

However, in that same instant, the seven noticed that the faces of the wolf demon and the leopard demon suddenly turned terrified, followed by a dull collision sound, like the beating of a war drum.

Bang!

A fierce wave of qi swept out like a gale, and the black sword light arrived as expected. The terrified gazes of the wolf demon and the leopard demon instantly froze, turning into dozens of pieces of flesh that fell to the ground.

The wind stirred up dust, and when the dust settled, the martial artists were stunned. They looked at the front in disbelief. In front of the young man in the white robe from the demon race, a teenager stood like a mountain, blocking the seven disciples from various sects behind him.

"It's him!"

"How is that possible!"

Especially the younger ones, who immediately widened their eyes and flushed faces. They had been the most vocal and unreserved before.

This was Su Qining acting at the critical moment. He had grasped the timing, his mental power covering the stone hall, and had long detected the hidden figure. The other party was also waiting, waiting for the "Seven Kill Life-Shattering Sword Formation" to lose its momentum and be unable to turn back. This was precisely what Su Qining had hoped for. The wolf demon and the leopard demon thought they were safe, but they never expected such a turn of events and were killed without any resistance.

"How can it be him?"

Some martial artists still refused to believe it. Compared to before, Su Qining's aura was vastly different. At this moment, he stood there with a mountain-like presence, exuding an ancient and沧桑的气机, making people involuntarily feel a sense of admiration and reverence.

These people clearly did not know about the "Mihun Dafa" (Soul-Bewitching Technique). At this moment, Su Qining also withdrew the soul-subduing technique. Facing a demon soldier again, he needed to adjust himself to reach his previous peak state.

"I didn't expect that among these ants, there would be a young expert like you."

The young man in the white robe from the demon race had cold eyes. At this point, he clearly understood that he had been outmaneuvered, and that the other party had used him to instantly kill the two demons, removing any concerns.

Most importantly, the human youth in front of him was too young, looking only about fifteen or sixteen years old. How long could he have been practicing martial arts? In that split second, although he did not use his full cultivation, the force of a fine horse would have been enough to kill, but it was blocked so effortlessly by the other party.

Without any fluctuations of internal true qi, purely using blood and qi, this youth had not yet established a foundation!

"Blocking a third-rate Kai Tian realm demon soldier, which sect or family does this young hero come from?"

"Using a saber? Could it be a young saber expert from the Bagua Sect?"

"However, among the local candidates for the Dragon Guard, apart from the young Dragon Guard, there seems to be no one who matches this youth."

An old martial artist who had been in the Jianghu of Shiyan Prefecture for many years speculated, hesitantly. Most importantly, Su Qining was too young, making it difficult to match him with the characters in their memory.

"Could he be a disciple of a hermit or a descendant of a secluded family? I heard that the Guicang Saber Family moved to Shiyan Prefecture long ago, but their residence is very secret, and it's almost impossible to find unless you are a close friend."

The crowd continued to speculate, and the young man in the white robe's expression was not good. The youth in front of him was very bold, taking the initiative to attack. With one step, he crossed several yards, and a fist slowly pushed forward, creating fine wrinkles in the air, accompanied by a thunderous sound. In an instant, it seemed like an ancient divine tortoise was awakening from sleep, its shell like a divine hammer, colliding with the mountain in front of him, the dominance and ferocity almost overwhelming.

Su Qining's fist seemed slow but was actually fast. The young man in the white robe's pupils suddenly contracted. In the Moyun Mountains and Shiyan Prefecture, if one did not understand this fist technique, it would be almost impossible to survive.

Wudang, the Tortoise and Snake Fist!

Even in the past ten years of cultivation, the young man in the white robe had once fought some Wudang outer sect disciples, but none of them could perform the Tortoise and Snake Fist to such a terrifying level, reaching a divine and profound state.

Clang!

The hand as white as jade lifted again. The young man in the white robe's palm technique was very calm, with internalized palm power, but it was absolutely fierce and sharp. When the fist and palm met, it sounded like a bronze bell, producing a sharp metallic sound.

"Tortoise and Snake Fist! He is a Wudang disciple!"

Many martial artists couldn't help but exclaim. The Tortoise and Snake Fist was too famous in Shiyan Prefecture. As the only national sect in Shiyan Prefecture, the martial arts of the various peaks and ridges were well-known to many martial artists in the region.

One could say that in Shiyan Prefecture, the most recognizable martial arts were those of Wudang.

In this way, Su Qining's age and status as a Wudang disciple resolved many of the martial artists' doubts. Wudang had produced many geniuses over the generations, with a multitude of young strongmen, especially the current Qing generation, with the Heaven Sword, ranking on the Dragon Tiger List, and being one of the top young figures in the entire Han Empire.

The two exchanged fists and palms, and Su Qining stood firm like a rock, like an ancient tortoise, immovable. The seven forms of the Tortoise and Snake Fist in his hands were almost divine, with the Yin-Yang Taiji, the harmonious and versatile, and the balance of hardness and softness, all kinds of force changes, making the young man in the white robe also marvel.

The seven forms of the Tortoise and Snake Fist, this Wudang outer sect disciple had reached a divine and profound state!

"White Jade Lion! White eyebrows and white hair, this demon is from the White Jade Lion clan! That is their third-rate palm technique, the 'Condensing Jade Palm'!" At this moment, a well-informed martial artist seemed to realize something and exclaimed.

The White Jade Lion clan!

This was a general clan among the demon race. Most clan members, as long as their talent was not too poor, could advance to become demon generals over a long period, becoming second-rate Dragon Tiger realm experts.

However, it seemed that this demon was still young, with shallow cultivation, only just entering the third-rate Kai Tian realm.

"Not good, this Wudang youth has shallow cultivation and has not yet established a foundation. The seventh level of the 'Tortoise and Snake Technique' cannot withstand it!"

Soon, the crowd's expressions changed. Su Qining's fist technique became weaker, lacking power, showing signs of exhaustion, and his face turned pale.

"Your fist technique is excellent, but your cultivation is too shallow. To reach this level of the 'Tortoise and Snake Technique' at such a young age is rare even among the Wudang outer sect. What a pity, killing a young hero like you will earn me the favor of the Great Demon Lord Maha, and even a personal transmission of power to enhance my cultivation. Come, contribute your life, and my path of cultivation will be even more brilliant!"

The young man in the white robe sneered, pushing Su Qining back several steps with one palm. He followed closely, the strange Condensing Jade True Qi like a white mist, pressing the air to explode, and landed on Su Qining's chest.

Puff!

When the palm landed on Su Qining's chest, there was no sound of bones breaking as expected. Instead, it felt like hitting a pile of cotton. The young man in the white robe felt his Condensing Jade True Qi disappear like a stone into the sea, and his palm did not feel like hitting flesh but rather pressing into a bottomless black hole.

Not good!

His heart skipped a beat, sensing something was wrong. But in the next moment, a surge of blood and qi erupted from Su Qining's body like a volcano. In an instant, it seemed like five large furnaces burning fiercely, their lids lifted, and a torrent of blood and qi rushed out like a mighty river.
