Chapter 87

Yun Zelin's move, I'm afraid no one in the Jianghu could take it.

Li Miao countered with "One Blade," attacking head-on!

The two palm blades collided, actually making the sound of gold and iron clashing!

Looking at the palms of the two, both were glowing with a dark green color.

That's right, both were "Jiezi," able to use all kinds of martial arts at will, so they would naturally operate hard-training techniques on their bodies.

A roar sounded, and the surging true energy scattered.

The surrounding bluestone slabs were lifted up and flew out like fallen leaves.

And before these stone slabs landed, Li Miao and Yun Zelin had already exchanged more than a dozen moves on the spot.

The deafening roar in between would probably have been enough to shake an ordinary Jianghu person to death.

Boom!

Yun Zelin's move cut off the beams and pillars of half the main hall. The Taishan Sect's main hall was affected by the aftermath of the two fighting, and finally couldn't hold on, collapsing with a roar.

Yun Zelin arrived outside the door in an instant, looking at the ruins.

In the dust, Li Miao walked out, his left hand patting the dust on his shoulders.

"Continue." Li Miao beckoned to Yun Zelin.

Before his voice had faded, Yun Zelin had already appeared before Li Miao.

After the previous exchange, both sides understood that using ordinary martial arts could not break the opponent's "Jin Gang" at all.

Only by combining true energy and force could one maximize the power of a martial art.

Both sides used "Jiezi" to mix and match martial arts randomly; there was plenty of change, but the power was greatly reduced, making it difficult to achieve results.

"Jiezi," of course, is not just as simple as being able to use several martial arts together.

Ignoring temperament, ignoring mental cultivation methods, and bringing the power of each martial art to the extreme is the greatest effect of "Jiezi" above the peak.

Yun Zelin struck with a palm; it was the original Ming Sect unique skill "Great Nine Heavens Palm," and its power was a level higher than before.

Li Miao countered with a "Great Nine Heavens Palm."

They imprinted on each other's chests.

This time, however, it was silent, and there was no previous momentum, as if they were just friends meeting and saying hello.

Yet it was ten times more dangerous than before.

The so-called aftermath was actually because the two were forcibly mixing martial arts, and the true energy could not be perfectly matched with the force, so there was true energy leaking out.

And when the two used the original martial arts, the force and true energy merged into one, and all the power was gathered at one point by "Jiezi," without a trace of leakage.

In terms of lethality, it was more than a notch stronger than the previous high-momentum attacks.

The two, who had been expressionless before, both groaned and retreated.

Yun Zelin's mouth and nose overflowed with blood as he looked at Li Miao.

The clothes on Li Miao's chest slowly seeped with a touch of blood.

"Ha, hahaha! I am still a notch better!" Yun Zelin laughed.

"Lord Li, your 'Jiezi' is ultimately incomplete!"

It looked like Yun Zelin had suffered more, but in reality, he had won by a narrow margin.

Yun Zelin's mouth and nose overflowing with blood did not mean he was more severely injured, but rather that Li Miao's true energy containment was not as concentrated as Yun Zelin's.

"Again!"

Yun Zelin shouted and rushed toward Li Miao.

Inside Tai'an City.

Liu Baiyun and the others had already searched the city roughly, found a few missing Gu soldiers, and incidentally rescued some citizens trapped under the ruins.

Several people handed the rescued citizens to Jiao Qingfeng and ordered him to clean up the aftermath.

After tonight's encounter, Jiao Qingfeng had gained some "official prestige" and the temperament to face things.

After receiving the order, he began to lead some of the citizens who could still move and the soldiers guarding the gates to put out fires in the city in an orderly manner.

At this moment, the three sect leaders were standing in the Prefectural Yamen, looking at the corpses on the ground in silence.

Those were the disciples of the three sects who died tonight.

Those who could be brought out of the sect to participate in the Five Mountains Alliance were all outstanding disciples in the sect, the roots of the sect's inheritance.

As a result, almost half of them died; how could the three sect leaders not be sad and uncomfortable?

Zhou Yingxue didn't want to show weakness in front of her rival Liu Baiyun, so she forced herself to remain calm, but the hand holding the sword hilt had already turned white.

Liu Baiyun had no time to look at her.

The Huashan Sect disciples were the first to guard this Prefectural Yamen. In terms of casualties, the Huashan Sect suffered the most.

Deng Baixuan, who had the softest temperament, couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

These were the roots he had accumulated for several years, hoping to pass on the sect's inheritance!

Zhang Jingfeng sighed and said: "Everyone, let's leave the sadness for later."

"The Battalion Commander has already rushed to the Taishan Sect to deal with the Ming Sect Right Envoy, and we still need to guard that side. If a few Gu insects leak down the mountain, our disciples will have died in vain."

Liu Baiyun nodded first, and the others also forced themselves to cheer up and rushed toward the Taishan Sect together.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, several people dispersed and searched toward the mountain along the mountain path, remaining vigilant.

Along the way, they found corpses all over the ground lying on both sides of the road.

Li Xiaosi had already woken up, her spirit was not very good, but she could move freely.

She walked up, Wang Hai dissected the corpse for her, and Li Xiaosi picked up the Gu insects inside to check.

"Everyone, no need to be vigilant," Li Xiaosi said.

"The mother Gu of these Gu insects is already dead, and there will be no more child Gu surviving, so there is no need to worry about a repeat of the Tai'an City incident."

Hearing this, the several sect leaders all breathed a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Jingfeng frowned: "How could it be settled inexplicably?"

"I know the Battalion Commander's martial arts are extraordinary, but he shouldn't know witchcraft, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked us to come and guard."

"No, this is not the Battalion Commander's handiwork," Li Xiaosi said.

"Looking at the way these child Gu died, rather than being killed, it's more like the mother Gu died of old age."

"However, no matter what, the Ming Sect's plan has failed, and the disaster of the Gu insects has been resolved. That Plum Blossom Thief will definitely die at the hands of the Battalion Commander."

"Let's go up the mountain and see," Wang Hai said.

When it comes to confidence in Li Miao, no one in this world can compare to Wang Hai, not even Li Miao himself.

Even if Li Miao said to Wang Hai one day, "Actually, I am the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang," Wang Hai could convince himself to believe it.

However, the battle on the Taishan Sect at this moment was not as Wang Hai thought.

Yun Zelin and Li Miao stood on both sides.

Both were injured and were slowly recovering at this moment.

Looking at the injuries, it was Li Miao who was at a disadvantage.

"Lord Li, how is it? I have disappointed you, haven't I?"

"Your incomplete three paths are ultimately not as good as mine!" Yun Zelin laughed.

He was incomparably proud at this moment.

Although he took a shortcut and wouldn't live for more than an hour. But as long as he could kill Li Miao and get Li Miao's corpse, he was confident he could survive.

By then, he would be the living Wu Lin myth in this Jianghu!

Li Miao relaxed his shoulders and said easily: "Not bad, but you don't have to be in such a hurry to show your face."

"I am incomplete, you walk the evil path; it's about the same."

"However, your muscles and bones are loosened, it's about time to increase the intensity for you."

Li Miao said.

Yun Zelin frowned and looked at Li Miao.

In an instant, his pupils contracted.

He saw Li Miao's originally pitch-black hair slowly turning gray.

Li Miao clenched his fists.

"Hmm, a perfect 'Jin Gang', feels pretty good."

He beckoned to Yun Zelin.

"Come, second round."
