“Sect Leader, Senior Brother!!!”

“Master, Master, you can’t die! Damn it, you witch! I’ll avenge my master!” Seeing his master die tragically, Zuo Lengchan’s eldest disciple, Shi Dengda, disregarded everything and rushed forward, wanting to fight Mo Xiaobei to the death.

Along with Stendhal, several other bodyguards from the Songshan Sect also attacked. However, before they could even get close to Mo Xiaobei, they were directly crippled by Jiang Yuyan’s palm strike. Stendhal, who was the weakest, was even killed by the aftershock of the palm strike. His meridians were severed, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!

“If you want to die, so be it! Today, the Songshan Sword Sect will be wiped out!” Jiang Yuyan said with great arrogance and domineering manner, completely disregarding the martial arts masters and heroes present.

Having already broken through to the eighth level of the Mingyu Gong and become a Xiantian Grandmaster, she was clearly quite arrogant.

“One should be lenient when one can, Benefactor Jiang. You have already won, so why be so aggressive? It’s really going too far.”

“Who do we have here? It’s you, old monk Fangzheng. You’re secretly pleased, aren’t you? Fine, you really intend to get involved in this matter?”

Although Fang Zheng displayed extremely profound internal strength as soon as he opened his mouth, and his Buddhist chants, which sounded like a wake-up call, resounded throughout the entire venue, Jiang Yuyan did not take Fang Zheng seriously.

Yi Jin Jing?

Is it that impressive?

Let’s try it out. It’s said that the true martial arts secrets require the combination of the Yi Jin Jing, Xi Sui Jing, and Vajra Indestructible Technique, which can be cultivated to the level of Vajra in Buddhism, beyond the Innate Realm.

Unfortunately, the Marrow Cleansing Classic was lost long ago, and the Vajra Indestructible Skill, as one of the five great skills of Shaolin, has only been seen to be mastered in the last hundred years. It is just the Yi Jin Jing, so what is there to be afraid of?

Just when many people thought that the Shaolin abbot, as a respected figure, would step forward to stop the fighting, and that Jiang Yuyan would likely restrain herself and not dare to go too far without the presence of the palace masters of Yihua Palace, they were surprised.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuyan, who looked so sweet and ladylike, was so arrogant. Instead of restraining herself, she directly challenged the abbot of Shaolin Temple to a duel.

“Although Master Zuo has passed away, what he said before made a lot of sense. The Five Mountains Sword Sect uses swords, not knives, and the Five Mountains Alliance Leader is one of their own. It’s not something an outsider can take over just because of his superior martial arts skills. I advise Benefactor Jiang to be careful and not to act recklessly and cause an upheaval in the martial arts world.”

“After all that talk, you still want to fight. Let me, Jiang Yuyan, test your mettle as the abbot of Shaolin and see how much skill you still have after ten years of Shaolin’s closure.” After saying that, Jiang Yuyan flew into the air and forcefully struck Fang Zheng with a palm.

Jiang Yuyan’s giant hand, formed from her true energy, was three zhang in size and looked terrifying.

After Shaolin Temple closed its gates for ten years, what it needed to do most was to restore its prestige and prove that it was still the leading force and pillar of the martial arts world. This is why the new generation of top-tier monks like Wuhua emerged.

But one Wuhua is far from enough, so many people are very curious about the true quality of Fangzheng, the abbot of Shaolin.

He definitely has innate talent; after all, he’s one of the top ten masters of the righteous path and the abbot of Shaolin Temple. If he didn’t even reach the innate level, that would be too weak.

Therefore, for Fang Zheng and Shaolin Temple, today’s battle is one of absolute necessity – victory is not an option.

Like many others in the martial arts world, Fang Zheng had underestimated Jiang Yuyan because of the previous rumors of his defeat to Zhang Lingyu in one move. After seeing Mo Xiaobei, who had also been defeated by Zhang Lingyu in one move, make a move, Fang Zheng, who had already reached the Innate Realm for many years, felt that these two disciples of Yihua Palace were not truly invincible. They were in the right in this matter, and their intervention would greatly help Shaolin Temple’s return and restoration of its former prestige in the martial arts world. Therefore, he decisively took action.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuyan was so tyrannical and ruthless, and her strength was not as bad as rumored. She had definitely entered the Innate Realm and reached the stage where she could manifest true qi.

However, Fang Zheng was not afraid of such palm force. Confident in his superior skill, Fang Zheng, who was already somewhat enraged, directly attacked. He used his Yi Jin Jing internal energy and directly used his signature martial art, the “Thousand-Leaf Tathagata Palm” from the thirteenth of the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts. This palm shattered Jiang Yuyan’s giant palm in one strike.

Judging from the scene alone, although Jiang Yuyan made a big show of it, it was all show and no substance. She was no match for Fang Zheng, who was experienced, skilled, and made his moves with ease. The difference in their abilities was obvious, and it was only a matter of time before Jiang Yuyan was defeated.

Shaolin is still Shaolin after all; only Shaolin can truly hold the fort at times like this.

Most of the 72 Shaolin Arts are just filler, or basic techniques for building a foundation.

However, there are also some martial arts that have been honed through countless trials and tribulations, reaching the pinnacle of various types of martial arts techniques. These martial arts are collectively known as the Thirteen Ultimate Skills, which are the true essence of Shaolin martial arts. The Thousand-Leaf Tathagata Palm is one of them.

Shaolin has a wide variety of palm techniques, and they are all part of a complete system, ranging from the most basic to the most advanced, emphasizing a gradual progression.

In terms of palm power alone, the most powerful is the Great Vajra Palm, known as the number one palm technique of Shaolin.

However, in terms of skill, endurance, and actual power, there is another palm technique that is no less powerful than the Vajra Palm, namely the Thousand Leaf Tathagata Palm. Like the Vajra Indestructible, Yi Jin Jing, Vajra Palm, and Arhat Subduing Demon Skill, it is one of the five great Shaolin skills.

These five great martial arts, apart from the Yi Jin Jing, are not only martial arts techniques but also have corresponding internal energy cultivation methods. They can also be perfectly integrated with the Yi Jin Jing, so they are considered peerless martial arts that countless people in the martial arts world dream of.

Shaolin Stone-Grasping Palm is one of the 72 Shaolin Arts, also known as Shaolin Cotton Palm. It involves gently grasping a stone and turning it into powder. This is the most basic and elementary palm technique for practicing the Thousand-Leaf Tathagata Palm.

Only after reaching the highest level can one meet the prerequisites for practicing the intermediate palm technique, the Great Compassion Thousand Leaf Hand.

The Great Compassion Thousand-Leaf Hand is also one of the 72 Shaolin Arts.

This set of palm techniques is highly complex and often defeats enemies from unexpected angles, much like the Thousand-Hand Guanyin.

Hence the name “Chiba-te”.

The Flat Hand Tathagata Palm evolved from the Great Compassion and Mercy Dry Leaf Hand, and is considered the pinnacle of this type of palm technique. This palm move is ordinary, but halfway through, it suddenly sways slightly, instantly turning one palm into two, two into four, four into eight, and so on, infinitely changing and continuously accumulating palm power. Finally, it simplifies the complex, merging all the palm power into one, and unleashing the most powerful and terrifying Tathagata Palm.
