Chapter 46

Even Zhang Sanfeng, and everyone present, could not figure it out.

One must know.

This was a palm strike from an Earthly Immortal.

And from the look of it, one delivered with full force at that.

Even Zhang Sanfeng, who stood at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Could not claim to take a palm strike head-on and remain completely unscathed!

Let alone He Zudao, who was currently breaking through to the Earthly Immortal Realm from the Absolute Apex!

"Heh~ Do you think this old man wasted his hundred years?"

He Zudao gave a mocking laugh.

He reined in his aura.

Yet a flicker of heartache flashed through his heart.

Several decades ago, by a chance encounter, he had obtained a tortoise shell.

And learned of its wondrous use.

Namely, it could be used to withstand a single fatal blow!

It was only a pity, however.

That after withstanding the attack, the tortoise shell would be damaged and lose all value.

For all these years, he had treasured it dearly.

This time, showing himself.

Apart from helping Zhang Sanfeng.

He also wished to rely on this item to break through his shackles under the pressure of an Earthly Immortal!

After all.

As a veteran master.

It would not be an exaggeration to say he had watched Zhang Sanfeng grow up.

Yet now, the man.

Was already on the verge of touching the threshold of the Heavenly Being Realm.

While he himself had remained stuck at the Absolute Apex, unable to advance an inch.

How could someone as proud as he ever be not heartbroken? How could he not feel desolate?

Fortunately, it did not disappoint him.

Today he had finally achieved his wish, catching a glimpse of the mysteries of the Earthly Immortal Realm!

"Hmph! Putting on a show!"

"So what if you've broken through to the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

"Do you really think you can turn things around today?!"

The Doujiu Monk gave a cold snort.

The killing intent in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, it grew even more intense!

On the other side.

Zhang Sanfeng blocked the three men's assault with a single sword strike.

Borrowing the force, his whole person drifted lightly to He Zudao's side.

Meeting the Doujiu Monk's cold, piercing gaze.

He replied with calm composure.

"Yunzhou Shaolin's foundation is indeed deep."

"If this old Daoist is not mistaken."

"Among these three, one is the once-renowned Tianchi Eccentric Hero."

"And one is the peerless genius of Great Song Shaolin in two hundred years, Master Xuancheng, am I right?"

"The only thing this old Daoist does not understand is, didn't Gusu Murong Longcheng humiliate Yunzhou Shaolin? Why would he still be willing to aid you?"

At these words.

Everyone was greatly shocked.

The whole venue erupted in an uproar!

Although they did not recognize the three men's faces and so could not guess who they truly were.

That in no way hindered them from knowing the three men's thunderous reputations!

Gusu Murong Longcheng need not even be mentioned.

His name was still hanging on the Heavenly Dao Golden List right now.

There was probably not a single martial artist in the Nine Provinces' jianghu who did not know of him!

And Xuancheng, as the peerless genius of Great Song Shaolin in two hundred years.

His fame back then on the Nine Provinces Continent was no ordinary renown.

It was only later that there were jianghu rumors.

That due to an accident in cultivating the Seventy-Two Supreme Techniques, Xuancheng became a cripple, and thus gradually faded from the eyes of the world.

As for the Tianchi Eccentric Hero.

As a once illustrious figure of Great Ming's jianghu.

And now, ninety-nine out of a hundred present were martial artists of Great Ming's jianghu.

It would be hard not to know him even if one tried!

"It's really the Heavenly Pool Freak Knight? Isn't he dead?!"

In the crowd.

Zhu Wushi's face was filled with shock.

His current cultivation was entirely thanks to the legacy left behind by the Heavenly Pool Freak Knight back then!

His current cultivation was entirely thanks to the legacy left behind by the Heavenly Pool Freak Knight back then!

Because of this, he had assumed the other had perished many years ago.

Who would have thought he was still alive in this world!

And had even become a master of the Earthly Immortal Realm!

This filled his heart with horror, and at the same time, an involuntary trace of fear arose.

In his mind, there was only one thought.

Just how many terrifying beings still existed on the Nine Provinces continent?!!

Facing Zhang Sanfeng's sarcastic remarks.

The Doujiu Monk's expression remained unchanged as he pressed his palms together.

"The Buddha once said, 'Lay down the butcher's knife, and become a Buddha on the spot!'"

"Patron Gusu Murong has sincerely repented and taken refuge in our Buddha. Our Yunzhou Shaolin will naturally open its doors wide in welcome."

Hearing these righteous and awe-inspiring words.

Looking at his solemn expression.

At this moment.

Whether it was Zhang Sanfeng and He Zudao, or everyone present.

All of them twitched the corners of their mouths violently twice, their hearts filled with speechlessness.

To be able to say such shameless words so brazenly — no one else could match it!

Of course.

Complaints were one thing.

Apart from Zhang Sanfeng and the others.

The other people present did not dare to speak these words aloud.

Lest Yunzhou Shaolin find an excuse to take advantage and make trouble.

"Heh~ A bald donkey is a bald donkey! When it comes to shamelessness, you can be called number one under heaven!"

"Yunzhou Shaolin's Seventy-Two Ultimate Skills — why not add another 'Thick Face Skill'?"

He Zudao let out a cold snort.

The contempt in his eyes was not concealed in the slightest.
