Chapter 696

Bai Lang saw Xiang Wentian, the old guy, wanting to run, and he also soared into the air from his horse, crossing the sky like a giant eagle, and stepped on some unlucky guy of the Ming Cult to borrow force and soar again—of course, the unlucky guy's face grew into his chest... Although Bai Lang hadn't studied the *Eagle Claw Skill* much, this grab was light and airy, and it was sixty years of skill. It was truly a "Great Peng Golden-Winged Sculpture" divine claw capturing a dragon with a wingspan of several zhang.

"Heavenly King's Father" was indeed a veteran of the martial world. Even without looking back, he knew that he absolutely couldn't take this claw, so this guy reached out and grabbed people—what is a God Cult follower? They are all subordinates of that traitor Dongfang Bubai. Using them to block the knife, Xiang Wentian would not have any guilt at all. Xiang Wentian grabbed and pushed with his palm, and suddenly a group of people rushed toward Bai Lang involuntarily amidst the scolding.

"Ha!" Bai Lang gave a disdainful light drink, and the BGM automatically filled in his mind, "Ten thousand mountains and rivers, why fear the wind and rain. The spirit swallows the wind and thunder, drinking the frost cup and snow cup..." It had to be this BGM to be worthy of the martial arts that Bai Lang had collected unintentionally and now recalled. Bai Lang turned his claws into palms in the air. When he lifted his palms, there was already a dragon roar, and the energy and true power were almost taking shape.

A true dragon was flying and circling three feet outside Bai Lang's body. Experts with true Qi sensing could see it, otherwise, it was just like seeing scales and claws in the smoke and dust. Bai Lang patted out a palm, which was the "Shocking Hundred Li" of the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms*, and his legs lifted continuously to borrow force and soar again, which was the palm momentum of "Riding Six Dragons Halfway." Amidst the dragon roar, there was a wild tiger roar, and the palm force bombarded out like a heavenly dragon. The Ming Cult members who were thrown over and had to explode to fight for their lives on the way were also unlucky.

These people were directly torn apart in this palm force, and only after the dust fell could blood overflow from the broken places. The dragon roar and tiger roar palm force flew five zhang away, bombarding Xiang Wentian's back. "It is also quite desirable. This *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms* is also an innate martial art, and it can even be said to be at the level of the 'Inner Scene'—as long as your power can keep up." Bai Lang hadn't used it much before, but this time it was a real surprise.

The palm force of this palm could almost reach the limit of this world, which is five or six zhang away, and the power attenuation is also very low. If it weren't for the group of dead ghosts blocking most of the palm force, Xiang Wentian would absolutely not be able to take this palm. And now Xiang Wentian also turned around and slashed with a palm, took this palm hard, borrowed force to float away, spat out a mouthful of blood, and accelerated to run away. And Bai Lang didn't chase after landing—Heavenly King's Father's lightness skill was surprisingly good, and I'm afraid he couldn't catch up.

And the other Ming Cult members had already scattered, not fighting the righteous path at all, just running for their lives—quite a few people ran in the direction of the outside of the desert. The power of Bai Lang's palm also shocked the righteous people. An old man who seemed to be knowledgeable said, "Is this the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms* of the Beggar Sect?" The Beggar Sect's divine skill had already been lost at this time, not only the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms* but also the *Dog-Beating Staff Technique* had been lost.

Bai Lang looked at the direction Xiang Wentian ran, and not long after, he walked back to his horse. Many martial arts people who wanted to build a relationship gathered around him—no righteous person dared to rely on the old to sell the old in front of him. If possible, they all hoped to call him "Senior Brother Bai." "I am going to the capital now. Junior brothers of the Mount Song Sect, we will see each other again if we have fate." After Bai Lang finished speaking, everyone didn't dare to keep him and could only respectfully bow and send away this great expert.

What does Heavenly King's Father want to do? It's so simple. This guy just wants to save Ren Woxing from that broken villa on West Lake and then regain the position of God Cult leader. Bai Lang knew this well. If he hadn't passed the imperial examination now, he would have liked to go to West Lake to see it, but unfortunately, he couldn't help himself now and could only look at the situation later. "Ren Woxing's martial arts might not be better than Shaolin's Fang Zheng, but Dongfang Bubai's martial arts might have reached the realm of 'Heaven and Man Transformation and Nourishment of All Things', about the same as those few eunuchs in the inner court."

And if those few eunuchs compared with him, then hahahahaha. Bai Lang's *Thirteen Tai Bao Golden Bell Shield* should be able to blow them up. As for the Jiajing Emperor who protects the country's face, it's a pity that this person can't practice Taoism—Bai Lang also knows that this guy is really smart, but he took the wrong path from the beginning. His personality can't practice the "nourishing Qi" skill of Taoism, and he should find other martial arts to practice to the innate state, and then consider how to prolong his life.

If it really doesn't work, cutting it off and practicing the *Green Mirror Secret Scroll* of the eunuchs is also a good way. The *Sunflower Manual* is ultimately a bit inferior. This Emperor is a typical example of wanting both, and he also likes to put on airs. After Bai Lang entered Hebei, he also found the location of Black Wood Cliff—so many people come and go, do they really think they can hide it? The circulation of various food and materials, Bai Lang knew where Black Wood Cliff was even if he just passed by—if it really doesn't work, he can ask the Mount Song Sect.

Bai Lang noted the location of Black Wood Cliff, and he didn't have time to go up and see Dongfang Bubai. He rushed and finally rushed into the capital before the deadline. He immediately went to the Ministry of Personnel to report and cancel the leave, and then he was rewarded—killing more than a hundred of Altan Khan's elite cavalry and forcing Altan Khan to bypass Datong. Bai Lang received a "preliminary merit record" and would be promoted after finishing the political observation. Optimistically, he would probably go to the Ministry of War in the future, and it is very likely that he would directly serve as a director of a department, and even a Vice Minister is not impossible.

But it might be difficult for him to stay in the capital. It is quite possible that he will be sent out to become a governor in one of the nine borders, and it is not impossible for a civil official to hold a military position. Anyway, the Ministers of the Six Ministries and the Grand Secretaries of the Cabinet have figured it out—since the Datong victory report entered the capital, they have figured it out. This new scholar is a peerless fierce general, a guy who took the wrong subject. With this person's martial arts and learning, a "martial scholar" would be easy to get.

The Great Ming Dynasty has produced such a strong person who is both civil and martial. At present, everyone is still very happy, and the Emperor's mood is also okay. At least the bad news of Altan Khan entering Gubeikou and plundering can be washed away by this kind of good news. After Altan Khan entered Gubeikou, he didn't dare to rush directly to the capital. His logistics and baggage losses were quite large. He had to rob a lot before considering whether to go to the capital—the Ming army was not all garbage shrinking in the city. There were still people who dared to fight—Ma Fang was one. What was better than Bai Lang was that he still had his own personal soldiers, intercepted and attacked Altan Khan's army, and also caused quite a lot of damage.

Altan Khan knew one thing, that is, the Ming fierce general who attacked his army outside Datong was actually a scholar. This fierce person is now in the capital. If he rushed to the capital to rob and was impacted by this fierce person leading the elite troops of the capital, he might be defeated and return to the grassland...
