Chapter 763

Between fists and palms, each strike was enough to split mountains and crack the earth.

An ordinary martial artist, even if only grazed by the edge of a fist, would likely end up with tendons torn and bones shattered, let alone taking a direct hit.

One of the two was overwhelmingly fierce and violent, the other was the yin-yang Taiji, hardness and softness combined in balance.

Two top experts of the Heavenly Dao Gold List level had begun an ultimate contest right here within the Great Yuan military camp.

Although their cultivation was not on par with that of Master Changsheng, Di Shitian, and the others.

The aftershocks of their clash were still terrifyingly fearsome.

Every collision could send up boundless waves of air.

And each wave of air seemed stronger than the one before it.

The Wu Dangqixia retreated to a corner, and after confirming Mo Shenggu was unharmed, they could not help clicking their tongues in secret awe.

"Who would have thought the old Master's strength had advanced to such a degree?"

Song Yuanqiao watched the momentum of the two men's clash, and seeing that Zhang Sanfeng could fight the Long Xiang Seng to such a point, he felt it completely exceeded his imagination.

The reason the seven of them had been able to trap the Long Xiang Seng, and had even nearly won against him.

Was because the seven, united in heart, had deployed the Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation.

More crucially, this Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation had already been improved.

Not only did it contain the Northern Dipper Subduing-Devil, it had also incorporated Zhang Sanfeng's Dao of Yin and Yang.

But all of this, in truth, was still not enough to truly force the Long Xiang Seng to this extent.

There were other key points within it.

Only the seven were unaware of them.

In short, for the Wu Dangqixia to have fought the Long Xiang Seng to this point, they had still relied on many tricks.

But now the contest between Zhang Sanfeng and the Long Xiang Seng could be called utterly without any flourish or trickery.

The clash between the two was a straightforward, no-holds-barred contest.

Every exchange was a meeting of fists and feet, a collision of their own martial Dao.

By all reason, Zhang Sanfeng's ranking on the Heavenly Dao Gold List lagged far behind the Long Xiang Seng's, so reaching this step should have been extremely difficult.

Yet now he could fight the Long Xiang Seng to an even match.

Was the Heavenly Dao Gold List ranking mistaken?

Or was it……

"The Qinglong Society is just too terrifying, isn't it?"

Among the seven, the most shrewd and resourceful Zhang Songxi could not help letting slip a sigh.

"Could it not be that the old Master is simply blessed with extraordinary talent?"

Although Mo Shenggu's qi was in disarray at the moment, his life was not in danger. Hearing his Fourth Brother speak thus, he could not help putting in a word in defense of their Master.

The Wu Dangqixia exchanged smiles and did not argue the point.

Zhang Sanfeng's talent, in the hearts of the Wu Dangqixia, was naturally unmatched by anyone.

After all, with only a single Luo Han Fist and a portion of the Nine Yang True Scripture, he had founded the illustrious Wudangyi Sect.

Apart from Zhang Sanfeng, who else could have done it?

Yet across the Nine Provinces under Heaven, how many were blessed with extraordinary talent?

Setting aside the rest, just within the Qinglong Society alone.

There were Di Shitian, Xiao Jingtian, Xiao Aoshi, and others, as well as the other five Dragon Heads, and even the supreme Great Dragon Head.

Which among these people was not a stunningly brilliant talent?

Moreover, could talent alone allow one to catch up to the Long Xiang Seng?

That would be far too laughable.

After all, the Long Xiang Seng was also one born with an Absolute Meridian, who walked the path of external skill, and through bitter cultivation across eight lives had only then made the list—an extreme Dao genius!

Taking everything into account, the group unanimously felt that Zhang Sanfeng's reaching such an achievement absolutely could not be separated from the Qinglong Society.

"The Qinglong Society is too terrifying……"

Hiding in the shadows, Master Changsheng could not help murmuring a line as well.

It happened that Mu Huali and the others had already arrived at his side and happened to overhear these words.

"Left National Counselor……"

Mu Huali had not come this time merely to sigh in awe.

He did not want Master Changsheng to misunderstand, so he directly pointed at the two fiercely battling men over there and said,

"From what you've all said, Zhang Sanfeng is only ranked thirty-third, and he only made the list not long ago.

Yet now this man's strength has actually advanced to such a degree.

There is only one explanation for all this, and that is the Qinglong Society!

What secret does the Qinglong Society hold, that it can let a person progress so quickly?"

Master Changsheng had assumed Mu Huali and the others wished to hear why he himself was so moved, and so he explained in detail.

Only his words carried a certain flavor of boosting others' morale while dampening his own side's prestige.

Mu Huali's face turned awkward, and he did not dare to retort.

He could only respond with a line or two, then shifted the topic and stepped aside to reveal the person behind him,

"Left National Counselor, this is the Great Yuan's Right Protector of the Dharma, Grand Master Pudu Cihang."

"Grand Master Pudu Cihang, this is our Great Yuan's Left National Counselor, Master Changsheng!"

This second line was naturally to introduce Master Changsheng to Pudu Cihang.

Among the many experts of Great Yuan, Master Changsheng's cultivation could be said to be the very highest.

Naturally, he had long since detected the arrival of this Pudu Cihang.

He had just made up an excuse to talk nonsense, but in reality it was to give Pudu Cihang a show of force.

The National Preceptor and the Dharma Elder still haven't decided who's superior in the Great Yuan.

"Amitabha. This poor monk Pudu Cihang pays his respects to Left National Preceptor."

Pudu Cihang's voice was exceedingly strange, his face was also wretchedly aged, and his frame was rather withered and thin.

The whole person gave the impression that he was about to be carried out and buried.

His bowing in this manner was almost a display of respect toward the God of Immortality.

Only then was the God of Immortality satisfied. Listening to that voice of his that was neither male nor female, and could not be told as old or young, the God of Immortality asked,

"That Buddhist chant just now — that was you reciting it, wasn't it?"

"Precisely!"

It turned out that Buddhist chant of "lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot" had been recited by Pudu Cihang.

If he had not brazenly stepped in and broken the deadlock,

it was likely that Long Xiang Seng really would not have been able to break the True Martial Seven Segment Formation so easily.

"Do you not know that doing so means going up against the Qinglong Society?"

The God of Immortality's lips curled slightly upward, asking with a rather teasing tone.

Before seeing Di Shitian, he had truly felt that going up against the Qinglong Society was of no consequence.

Under all of heaven, he, the God of Immortality, ranked only below the Great Dragon Head Ximen Wudi, who had executed that heaven-shattering sword.

But since the last time he had seen Di Shitian and invited him up into the heavens for a bout,

that ice stretching for ten thousand miles in the high sky had nearly frozen everything.

Although the God of Immortality also had a trump card he had never used, he had to admit that this man was his formidable adversary.

Coupled with today's Zhang Sanfeng, whose ranking had long since fallen far behind Long Xiang Seng, suddenly stepping in, the God of Immortality had already come to understand.

The Qinglong Society was not as simple as he had imagined!

"Amitabha. As the saying goes, if I do not enter hell, who will enter hell?"

Pudu Cihang smiled faintly, uttered a Buddhist gatha, and then said,

"Left National Preceptor, currently not only is the Qinglong Society lurking on the side, but the various masters of the Great Tang have also taken their positions.

The Xuanxinzheng Sect has even blocked the path at the mountainside, wanting to unseal the Dark Moon Cave Heaven. Now is the final opportunity."

It turned out that Pudu Cihang had come here for no other purpose than to unseal the Dark Moon Cave Heaven.

"Oh? What is your idea?"
