Chapter 70

Xuzhu repelled Jumu Zhi and then stepped back.

The martial arts assembly required the high monks and abbot of Shaolin Temple to preside over it. Although Xuzhu's martial arts were powerful, his prestige was insufficient.

Ding Chunqiu glanced at the surrounding heroes and laughed at Xuanzi, "Abbot Xuanzi, this time the Beggar Sect and my Xingxiu Sect have formed an alliance to compete for the position of martial arts alliance leader. Just draw the line, and we will follow it."

At this moment, a figure in light yellow appeared beside Duan Zhengchun, who was Duan Yu. He smiled and said, "Father, you also came to Shaolin Temple. Mother, I didn't expect you to come too. That's great."

Duan Yu did not travel with Xuzhu and Wang Yuyan. After leaving Lingjiu Palace, he planned to return to Dali directly, but unexpectedly, the Shaolin Temple was holding a martial arts assembly, so he came to take a look. He didn't expect Duan Zhengchun and Daobai Feng to be there as well.

Daobai Feng held Duan Yu's hand and asked, "Yu'er, where have you been these days? You've worried your father and me to death."

Duan Yu smiled and said, "Father, Mother, the things I've experienced these days are hard to describe. After the martial arts assembly, I'll tell you all about it."

Duan Zhengchun nodded and said, "As long as Yu'er is safe, that's fine."

At this moment, Duan Yu saw Xuzhu and smiled, "Hmm? So Second Brother has already arrived at Shaolin."

Not seeing Wang Yuyan, Duan Yu thought to himself, "Miss Wang must have returned to Wang's Village. Sigh."

Abbot Xuanzi saw the people from the Beggar Sect and the Xingxiu Sect together and asked, "The Beggar Sect has always prioritized righteousness. You want to compete for the position of martial arts alliance leader at Shaolin Temple, and I have no objections. But why are you collaborating with the evil Xingxiu Sect?"

Most of the people from the Beggar Sect felt ashamed and lowered their heads.

Ding Chunqiu laughed and said, "What's the difference between the righteous and the evil? Once I become the martial arts alliance leader, the Xingxiu Sect will be the righteous. With power, I can say who is evil, and they will be evil. Disciple, you should challenge this old monk. Don't hold back; kill this old monk for me!"

"Yes, Master!" You Tanzhi stepped forward, bowed to Abbot Xuanzi, and said, "I am the leader of the Beggar Sect, Zhuang Juxian. I hope for your guidance!"

Everyone was shocked; they didn't expect this incredibly handsome red-haired youth to be the leader of the Beggar Sect.

Abbot Xuanzi knew this battle was inevitable. It concerned the reputation of Shaolin Temple for a hundred years, and he had to fight.

"This red-haired youth is Ding Chunqiu's disciple. His martial arts can't be very high. I hope I can win this time!" Abbot Xuanzi thought to himself.

Abbot Xuanzi nodded and said, "Since you insist on fighting, I will learn the direct transmission techniques of the Beggar Sect, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and the Beggar Beating Staff Technique!"

Ding Chunqiu laughed loudly, "What Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, what Beggar Beating Staff Technique, they are just jokes. Only the divine techniques of the Xingxiu Sect are the most powerful. Disciple, use the divine techniques I taught you to kill this monk. Today, I will let the heroes of the world see how powerful the Xingxiu Sect's martial arts are!"

"Abbot, please receive my attack!" You Tanzhi's blood-red true qi burned, emitting a green, foul smell, which was the "Corpse Rotting Technique" of the Xingxiu Sect.

"Bang."

You Tanzhi's palm struck at Abbot Xuanzi, and the air collapsed where the palm force passed. This palm was like a withering force, unstoppable.

The surrounding heroes were stunned; this red-haired youth was too powerful!

"This..."

Abbot Xuanzi was also shocked. This palm was too strong, and he couldn't resist it. Even if he hadn't been injured in the battle with Jumu Zhi, he couldn't withstand it.

"Amitabha." Abbot Xuanzi silently recited.

"Don't!" A woman's voice came, which was Ye Erniang, one of the Four Evils.

Just as Xuzhu was about to save the abbot, a loud dragon roar came from the sky.

"Who says the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are inferior to the Xingxiu Sect's martial arts?"

"Roar!"

A golden dragon beam over ten zhang long collided with You Tanzhi.

"It's the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"

Many heroes exclaimed.

The mighty true qi formed a dragon, and when You Tanzhi's Corpse Rotting Technique and Blood God True Qi met this pure and powerful true qi, they began to "melt."

You Tanzhi turned and pressed a huge blood-red palm print on the dragon beam.

"Boom!"

The entire Shaolin Temple shook, and the boulders on the ground flew everywhere.

You Tanzhi took a few steps back, stared at the newcomer, and smiled evilly, "Xiao Feng? You, a Liao person, have also come. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are indeed well-deserved. However, today you won't leave Shaoshi Mountain. I must avenge my father and uncle!"

The newcomer was Xiao Feng.

He brought Azi and the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders and traveled for two days and two nights to finally reach Shaolin Temple.

At the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, Xiao Feng abandoned his horse and used his lightness skill to climb the mountain, while Azi and the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders were still on the way.

"Big Brother Xiao, is that you?" Azhu shouted loudly.

Xiao Feng shouted, "Azhu."

Xiao Feng loudly said, "Today, Xiao Feng has come only to save one person. Other matters have nothing to do with Xiao Feng."

You Tanzhi sneered, "Xiao Feng, you want to take Azi from me? Impossible!"

You Tanzhi's blood-red true qi erupted, forming a red light that rushed at Xiao Feng.

You Tanzhi was fighting recklessly, trying to exchange his life for Xiao Feng's.

"Roar..."

A deep dragon roar sounded, and Xiao Feng used "Repentant Dragon."

"You Tanzhi, the Blood Nerve Technique is a demonic martial art that you can't control. You exchange your life force and potential for this supreme power. I wonder how long you can last!"

Xiao Feng didn't expect You Tanzhi to have cultivated the Blood Nerve Technique to such a level. Among the grandmasters, few could match You Tanzhi.

Although Xiao Feng's martial arts had greatly improved, he found it somewhat difficult to fight You Tanzhi, which shocked him.

"How long I can last doesn't matter; I just need to kill you!" You Tanzhi shouted loudly.

"Bang!"

The air distorted, and the power of both was among the best in the world, with the aftereffects unbearable.

The surrounding heroes were pushed back over twenty zhang by the aftereffects.

Only Murong Fu, Xuzhu, Duan Yu, Ding Chunqiu, and a few other grandmasters remained in place, watching the battle without moving.

"Dragon Seizing Hand!"

Xiao Feng's left hand's true qi formed a golden dragon claw and grabbed Azhu.

Ding Chunqiu was pushed back; he was no match for Xiao Feng.

"Ah..." Azhu was taken by the Dragon Seizing Hand and screamed in the air.

"Xiao Feng, die!"

You Tanzhi heard Azhu's voice and knew it was bad. He didn't expect Xiao Feng to still have the energy to save Azhu.

Xiao Feng took Azhu and exchanged a palm strike with You Tanzhi, then used the rebound force to fly backward.

Azhu lay in Xiao Feng's arms and cried, "Big Brother Xiao, you finally came to save me."

"Brother-in-law. Sister!"

At this moment, Azi arrived at Shaolin Temple with the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders.

Azi glared at You Tanzhi and shouted, "You Tanzhi, you have the nerve to take my sister and make her blind. Today, I will have my brother-in-law kill you."

"Miss Azi." You Tanzhi looked at Azi and then at Azhu, realizing he had mistaken the person.

Xiao Feng held Azhu, patted her back, and comforted her, "Azhu, Big Brother Xiao is sorry for you. You've suffered. I will definitely ask Doctor Xue to cure your eyes. Go to your parents first; Big Brother Xiao has some matters to handle."

A beam of energy sent Azhu to Ruan Xingzhu and Duan Zhengchun's side. Xiao Feng then looked at the surrounding heroes and said, "From your stance, I fear you won't let Xiao Feng leave Shaolin Temple easily."

"That's right. Xiao Feng, you, a Liao person, have killed so many heroes of the Central Plains. Today, you must not leave Shaolin Temple."

"Xiao Feng, my brother was killed by you at Juxian Manor. Today, you must pay with your life."

"Xiao Feng, you dare to show up, thinking you are invincible?"

Quan Guanqing stepped out from the Beggar Sect and said, "Heroes, you may not know, but Xiao Feng is no longer the same Xiao Feng. He is now the Southern Duke of the Liao Empire, controlling half of the Liao army. If we let Xiao Feng leave Shaolin Temple today, he will lead the Liao army to invade the Song Empire. His martial arts are formidable, and even our current leader of the Beggar Sect might not be his match in a one-on-one fight. If he brings an army, who can kill him? Therefore, we must kill Xiao Feng today to eliminate a great threat to the Song Empire!"

Xiao Feng looked at Quan Guanqing, who immediately felt intimidated.

"Right, we must kill Xiao Feng."

"Xiao Feng must not leave."

Duan Yu walked to Xiao Feng's side and said, "Big Brother, take my sister Azhu and leave. With your martial arts, it's not hard to leave Shaolin Temple."

Xiao Feng smiled bitterly, "It's not that easy."

"Big Brother, Third Brother." Xuzhu walked to Xiao Feng's side and said happily.

Duan Yu said, "Big Brother, this is my newly sworn brother, who is older than me but younger than you, so I call him Second Brother. Now that we three brothers are reunited, let's swear allegiance again."

Xiao Feng laughed loudly, "Good, let's swear allegiance again."

...

After the swearing, Xuzhu looked at Ding Chunqiu and said, "Big Brother, Third Brother, this Ding Chunqiu killed my Uncle Xuanan and also killed my master Wuyazi and my senior brother Suxinghe. Today, I must eliminate this traitor of the Xianyao Sect."

"Second Brother, be careful!" Xiao Feng said.

Duan Yu smiled, "Big Brother, don't worry, Second Brother's martial arts are very powerful."

Xuzhu moved like a shadow, directly suppressing Ding Chunqiu and sealing his acupoints.

"Ding Chunqiu, I could have killed you, this traitor. Although I am now the sect leader, the highest-ranking person in the Xianyao Sect is my uncle Li Qiushui. I will hand you over to her for punishment." Xuzhu said to Ding Chunqiu.

Ding Chunqiu was furious, "You little monk, I shouldn't have spared you in the Deaf and Mute Valley. I, Ding Chunqiu, have been wise all my life, but I never expected to fall into your hands. The technique you just used is my master's, Tian Shan Tonglao's. How did you learn it?"

Xuzhu smiled, "I don't need to explain to you, a traitor of the Xianyao Sect."

...

"Ding Chunqiu, die!" You Tanzhi ignored Ding Chunqiu, as Azhu was no longer in his hands, and he didn't care about Ding Chunqiu's life or death.

Murong Fu drew his sword and said, "Xiao Feng, you are the Southern Duke of the Liao Empire. Today, I won't follow the rules of the martial world. For the safety of the Song Empire, I will eliminate you, this great threat."

Xiao Feng laughed loudly, "You two together, I, Xiao Feng, have nothing to fear."

Duan Yu saw You Tanzhi and Murong Fu attacking Xiao Feng and shouted, "Murong Fu, you are shameless. You and my Big Brother are on the same level, yet you team up with others to attack him. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the heroes of the world? It seems your 'Southern Murong' is far inferior to 'Northern Qiaofeng'!"
