Chapter 758

~8 min read 1,587 words

I'm afraid even ordinary Heavenly Being realm experts would suffer losses against them.

But the Dragon Elephant Monk is a Supreme Myth realm expert, a top-tier master on the Heavenly Dao Gold List!

How could a mere formation that can at most trap Heavenly Being realm experts possibly hold him?

If Mo Shenggu hadn't swiftly defeated Dalba earlier, and Yin Liting hadn't used sword techniques to break the illusory outline of martial arts.

The Dragon Elephant Monk probably wouldn't have taken these few Land Immortal realm opponents seriously at all.

"Very good, very good! Come at me with everything you've got!"

At this moment, he also wanted to see what wonders this formation created by Zhang Sanfeng, the Seven Dragon Head of the Azure Dragon Society, held.

He immediately stood there with an air of composure, waiting for the Seven Heroes of Wudang to attack.

"Good! Be careful!"

Song Yuanqiao reminded them once more, then took the lead with a palm strike.

Among the Seven Heroes of Wudang, Eldest Hero Song Yuanqiao joined the earliest and received the most direct instruction from Zhang Sanfeng.

Combined with his humble and mild personality, his reserved nature truly aligned with the martial arts style of the Wudang lineage.

Since he began learning martial arts, his most profound Wudang skill was undoubtedly palm techniques.

Among them, the Wudang Cotton Palm was the finest.

After reaching the Transcendent level, he further developed the Golden Silk Cotton Palm based on the Wudang Cotton Palm.

If the Cotton Palm uses softness to overcome hardness, with force arriving late yet striking first.

Then this Golden Silk Cotton Palm is like entwining silk—once the power is unleashed, it flows on endlessly without break.

Therefore, although Song Yuanqiao appeared to throw only one palm, in truth it was palm after palm, attacking ceaselessly.

"Good!"

Even for a great master like the Dragon Elephant Monk, upon seeing Song Yuanqiao's Golden Silk Cotton Palm, he couldn't help but show some admiration.

Although ordinary martial artists, upon reaching the Transcendent level, must forge their own martial path.

Regardless, this personal martial path will still be extremely similar to what was previously learned.

But like Song Yuanqiao here, whose Golden Silk Cotton Palm far surpasses the Cotton Palm—this is transcending convention, truly walking his own path.

After the Dragon Elephant Monk praised with a "good," he simply swept his palm upward, without even employing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.

He merely used his own immensely thick true essence, pushing it forward like a wall directly toward Song Yuanqiao.

The endlessly flowing Golden Silk Cotton Palm, upon meeting this invincible wall of true essence, naturally could not unleash any further variations or palm force.

This is what they call overwhelming force defeating all technique!

"Eldest Brother, I'll help you."

Yu Lianzhou and Yu Daiyan rushed forward at the right moment.

Among the Seven Heroes of Wudang, Zhang Cuishan has the strongest talent, but Yu Lianzhou has the deepest cultivation.

Song Yuanqiao created the Golden Silk Cotton Palm only after reaching the Transcendent level.

Yu Lianzhou, based on the Wudang Tiger Claw Hand, created the Deadly Tiger Claw Hand while still at the Grandmaster level.

It's just that the Tiger Claw Hand is an upright, honorable martial art, but once he modified it this way, it became excessively sinister and vicious.

When Zhang Sanfeng saw it, he couldn't help but laugh and ordered that this skill not be used by any Wudang disciple.

Afterwards, Zhang Sanfeng comprehended a set of thirteen forms of Snake and Crane and passed it down.

Yu Lianzhou once again drew upon the Tiger Claw Hand, the Deadly Tiger Claw Hand, and the Thirteen Forms of Snake and Crane to create a skill called the Coiling Dragon Subduing Tiger Grappling Hand.

It was precisely this martial art that directly propelled him from the Grandmaster realm into the Transcendent realm.

The bitterness and hardship of creating this skill—how could outsiders possibly know?

As for Yu Daiyan, his most skilled technique was the Mountain-Shaking Palm.

Unfortunately, after being crippled for many years, he had wasted much time.

Later, with the help of the Azure Dragon Society, he finally recovered.

Zhang Sanfeng specially obtained two martial arts suited for him from the Azure Dragon Society: the Mountain-Shaking Iron Palm and the Mysterious Void Blade Technique.

After mastering these two skills, Yu Daiyan finally stepped into the early stage of the Land Immortal realm.

Although among the Seven Heroes of Wudang, he ranked only above Mo Shenggu.

At least he had caught up after all.

At this moment, to assist Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou directly employed the Coiling Dragon Subduing Tiger Grappling Hand.

Yu Daiyan, on the other hand, wielded the Mysterious Void Blade Technique with a long saber in one hand and the Mountain-Shaking Iron Palm with the other.

The three brothers combined forces, each using their ultimate moves, striking against that wall of true essence that seemed to push aside everything.

562 Is the Dragon Elephant Monk about to lose?

The Dragon Elephant Monk found their overestimation of themselves laughable.

This wall of true essence he had casually thrown out—even ordinary early-stage Supreme Myth realm experts would not dare to withstand it head-on.

And walls of true essence like this, the Dragon Elephant Monk could unleash dozens upon dozens in succession without blinking or pausing for breath.

Even if you combine your skills to break one, what can you do when this old monk sends a few more your way?

Just as he was inwardly mocking Song Yuanqiao's trio, Zhang Cuishan and the other four bypassed the wall of true essence and attacked directly.

Zhang Songxi, the Fourth Hero of Wudang, was known among the Seven Heroes as the most resourceful and cunning.

In terms of martial arts, however, he was not particularly talented.

Therefore, he took an unconventional path, integrating Daoist philosophy into his martial arts.

By a fortunate accident, he ended up creating a set of swordsmanship called the Nine Palaces Sword Technique.

The Nine Palaces Sword Technique relies on stepping through the Nine Palaces positions; every thrust of the sword is unpredictable.

This time, to deal with a great master like the Dragon Elephant Monk, he also directly brought out this trump card sword technique.

Zhang Cuishan, however, was the most gifted among the Wu Dangqixia.

He enjoyed the reputation of "Silver Hook and Iron Stroke."

In one hand, his Silver Hook could not only perform unorthodox hook techniques, but also wove the Wu Dangjian into them.

In his other hand, his Judge's Brush fused calligraphy with Wu Dang acupoint-striking techniques.

One unorthodox, one orthodox, yet they could switch between offense and defense.

Added to that, back then Zhang Sanfeng, heart-stricken by Yu Daiyan's crippling, in his anguish devised a set of arts called the Heaven-Slaying Dragon-Leaning Art.

He passed it on to him as well.

Therefore, his Wu Gong, among all his senior and junior brothers, was in truth the most complete and broadest learned.

It was only a pity that he ended up stranded on Ice and Fire Island, missing the chance to sit at Zhang Sanfeng's knee and receive his teachings, thereby losing out on ten years of the best time to improve.

After returning to the Central Plains, Zhang Sanfeng went straight to the Qinglong Society and became one of the Seven Dragon Heads.

From then on, Zhang Cuishan could only rely on sparring with his senior and junior brothers, as well as pondering on his own.

Fortunately, his talent was not bad, and the martial-arts treasures left behind on Mount Wudang were considerable.

On top of that, Zhang Sanfeng would also send back to Mount Wudang, from time to time, some insights into Wu Gong and the like.

So that although Zhang Cuishan had fallen behind by ten years, his current cultivation had already caught up to third place among the heroes.

Trailing only Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou.

This time, the four of them bypassing the True Essence Wall to attack the Long Xiang Seng — he was the leader.

Yin Liting and Mo Shenggu naturally had nothing to say.

Both were skilled in the way of the sword; only Yin Liting had refined his study of the sword's way.

Mo Shenggu, however, walked a path that valued both cultivation and the sword's way equally, gradually merging the concepts of Taiji Yin-Yang that Zhang Sanfeng had sent back into his own martial Dao.

At this moment, the four brothers each displayed their unique skills, charging toward the Long Xiang Seng to kill.

Watching these four men's incomparably exquisite Wu Gong moves, and seeing that Song Yuanqiao and the other two had truly, for the moment, held back the advance of the True Essence Wall.

The Long Xiang Seng, however, had a smile at the corner of his mouth, utterly unconcerned.

"Do you really think that an expert of the Heavenly Dao Golden List rank has only this much ability?"

He was still seen standing in place, still not employing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.

He merely flicked his sleeve again, fanning out one True Essence Wall apiece toward the Wu Dangqixia.

"Since the three of you combined can barely block one, this old monk would like to see if you can block one each."

The Undying God of Longevity, who was secretly watching the battle from afar, gave a soft sound of surprise at this moment.

Mu Huali, hearing his voice, immediately inquired across the distance,

"Left State Preceptor, is something amiss?"
