"Are you really going to be my enemy?" Huang Yaoshi's green robe fluttered without wind, his white hair and beard exuding an indescribable arrogance at this moment.

Li Mochou was inwardly shocked, realizing that what Huang Yaoshi had shown earlier was far from his limit.

She still had a long way to go to reach the level of the Five Greats.

Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said, "I naturally prefer to share a drink with Lord Huang, but since Lord Huang insists on being aggressive, I can only accompany you to the end. Mochou, step back."

A cold light flashed in Li Mochou's eyes. For so many years, no one had ever dared to take advantage of her. Those who did were already dead.

However, seeing Huang Yaoshi in front of Zhao Hao, Li Mochou still stepped back as instructed, leaving the battlefield to Zhao Hao and Huang Yaoshi.

She just wanted to see how capable he was and whether he was worth following.

These years, Li Mochou had not had an easy time.

For a woman to make a name for herself in the blood-soaked world of martial arts as the "Crimson Fairy," it was far from easy.

If she could, she would not mind having someone to rely on.

The prerequisite was that Zhao Hao had to be strong enough, strong enough that she had no power or will to resist.

Guo Jing also led Yang Guo, Cheng Ying, and Lu Wushuang away from the scene. Both Zhao Hao and Huang Yaoshi were rare martial arts experts, but when they fought, it was inevitable that their energy would spill out and injure others.

Such a decisive battle that could subdue someone in an instant, with a light and easy demeanor, would only happen when there was a significant difference in strength.

Guo Jing was not particularly worried about Huang Yaoshi; what he was truly concerned about was Zhao Hao.

Although Zhao Hao protecting Li Mochou made Guo Jing quite unhappy, his kind nature made him unable to bear seeing Zhao Hao suffer a crushing defeat or even a tragic death at Huang Yaoshi's hands.

Guo Jing naturally did not think Zhao Hao could surpass Huang Yaoshi, and even Li Mochou had never thought so.

Zhao Hao's current strength was indeed still a distance away from Huang Yaoshi.

Although Zhao Hao was not a hastily produced product of closed-door training, due to his age, his current cultivation and combat experience were far from matching the seasoned Huang Yaoshi.

Of course, Zhao Hao was not without his own advantages.

Huang Yaoshi's expression became increasingly solemn.

A gentle night breeze blew, and Zhao Hao stood there, his green robe fluttering, like a celestial being.

But Huang Yaoshi's eyes were fixed on Zhao Hao's hands.

Not just Huang Yaoshi, but even Guo Jing and Li Mochou were closely watching Zhao Hao's hands, their faces showing surprise.

At this moment, Zhao Hao's ten fingers were like hooks, his long, jade-like fingers emitting the sound of metal clashing.

Even in the night, sparks were flying.

This was a claw technique.

In the world, the only claw technique that could cause such a phenomenon was the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" that Mei Chaofeng once used to dominate the martial arts world.

"You actually mastered the 'Nine Yin White Bone Claw.' Is this the confidence you have to challenge me?" Huang Yaoshi said solemnly.

Zhao Hao smiled faintly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "The 'Nine Yin White Bone Claw,' hah, that name is not worthy to be mentioned in front of me. Mei Chaofeng was unskilled and could not even unleash one-tenth of the power of this claw technique. If I met Mei Chaofeng, I could kill her in five moves. Lord Huang, remember, this claw technique is called the 'Nine Yin Divine Claw,' the most orthodox Daoist martial art."

"Good, good, good, indeed, heroes emerge from the young. I only hope your martial arts can match your big talk." Huang Yaoshi's face darkened.

No matter how unskilled Mei Chaofeng was, she was still his disciple.

Zhao Hao's words were undoubtedly a slight to him.

With Huang Yaoshi's pride, how could he tolerate it?

"Lord Huang is a senior, so I will make the first move." As soon as Zhao Hao finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared on Huang Yaoshi's left side.

Guo Jing and Li Mochou's faces immediately changed.

What fast footwork.

Li Mochou now realized that when Zhao Hao fought her, he had not used his true skills.

Guo Jing was even more surprised.

He was not unfamiliar with the technique Zhao Hao used, as he had memorized most of the martial arts in the *Nine Yin Manual*.

Due to his limited talent, he could not master all the martial arts recorded in the *Nine Yin Manual*, but the "Horizontal Air Shift" Zhao Hao used was a lightness technique that left a deep impression on him.

Guo Jing's martial arts talent was not particularly good, and he was more inclined towards broad and open martial arts, so he was not particularly skilled in lightness techniques.

He had practiced "Horizontal Air Shift" in the past, but he could never achieve the rabbit-like agility that Zhao Hao displayed.

Guo Jing did not expect that Zhao Hao, at such a young age, would be so familiar with the martial arts in the *Nine Yin Manual*.

In the world of martial arts, there were countless secret manuals, but Guo Jing knew that the *Nine Yin Manual* was undoubtedly at the pinnacle of martial arts.

It was also the most powerful martial art.

Although Guo Jing had already established his own school, he was well aware that without the *Nine Yin Manual*, he would not have achieved his current status.

Zhao Hao might be slightly inferior to Guo Jing in martial arts, but in terms of understanding the *Nine Yin Manual*, he was already above Guo Jing.

This was also the reason Zhao Hao dared to challenge Huang Yaoshi.

Because Huang Yaoshi had never practiced the *Nine Yin Manual*.

The martial arts of Peach Blossom Island were indeed exquisite, but compared to the *Nine Yin Manual*, which drew on thousands of years of Daoist heritage, they fell short.

This was not something that Huang Yaoshi's extraordinary talent could make up for.

Indeed, this was the case.

Seeing Zhao Hao use the Nine Yin Divine Claw, Huang Yaoshi, maintaining his dignity, did not use a weapon. His right thumb and index finger formed a circle, the other three fingers slightly spread, his fingers extending like a lily, directly pointing at Zhao Hao's hands, with a beautiful posture.

The "Lily Finger Technique" was fast, accurate, strange, and elegant. The fingers moved like spring lilies, the movements graceful, the demeanor leisurely, and the execution effortless. Combined with Huang Yaoshi's elegant figure, it was even more ethereal.

Zhao Hao's expression remained unchanged.

The Lily Finger Technique was indeed divine, but his Nine Yin Divine Claw was not so easy to break.

Zhao Hao had not been exaggerating; in Mei Chaofeng's hands, the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" had not even unleashed one-tenth of the true power of the "Nine Yin Divine Claw."

Mei Chaofeng had taken the wrong path, while Zhao Hao used the orthodox method.

His ten fingers, like hooks and swords, clashed in the air, sparks flying, and even the air hissed.

The Lily Finger Technique was almost instantly broken.

Huang Yaoshi did not panic. The moment the Lily Finger Technique was broken, he suddenly changed his fingers to a palm, the "Falling Petals" technique, with palm shadows surrounding Zhao Hao from all directions, five real and one fake, or eight real and one fake, covering all of Zhao Hao's vital points.

A sudden gust of wind blew through the forest, and flowers fell everywhere. Huang Yaoshi's figure was graceful, using both palms and fingers. The palms fell like falling petals, and the fingers moved like spring lilies, each move fierce and elegant.

The "Falling Petals Divine Sword Palm."

"Excellent, the peach blossoms fall and the divine sword flies." Zhao Hao, at a disadvantage, laughed heartily, his tone full of joy.
