C47 (2/2)
When Xiao Li saw the little monkey's dying counterattack, he felt that it was a little familiar. He thought to himself, ”So this move was actually Zhai Yingkong's personal skill after Old Zhao called it out.”
Lil 'Monkey said coldly after taking a few deep breaths, ”Old man Zhao, don't be so arrogant. If Old man Zhai uses this move, you'll die at least half of your life.”
Old Zhao said coldly, ”Is that so? So you're actually the successor of that old thief. No wonder you're so difficult to deal with. However, you should know that our Righteous Faction and the High Pure Faction are born to be mortal enemies, so you must die today no matter what! ” The moment the word ”die” came out of his mouth, he gnashed his teeth in anger.
The little monkey sneered, ”How could I be so useless if I was elder Zhai's disciple? If elder Zhai could teach me an absolute art, how could you act so arrogantly in front of me?”
Old Zhao seemed to say angrily, ”Brat, you're so arrogant. Even Zhai Yingkong wouldn't dare to say such words in front of me. Today, you will be torn to shreds.”
The little monkey seemed to throw caution to the wind and laughed, ”I just want to be arrogant. Who doesn't know that the Shang Qing Sect is an Immortal Sect and that you are only teaching a bunch of thieves? You actually dare to say that you are the enemy of others? Back then, Elder Zhai had told me that if you learned 30% of my absolute arts, then you would be able to deal with a small fry like a righteous teacher. In the future, when you meet a righteous teacher, you must eliminate all evil. It's a pity that he only passed on the knowledge to me for a night before leaving in a hurry. ” His words seemed to be rather regretful. Then, he continued, ”Hmph, even if I only learned that old man's martial arts for one night, I can still hold on in front of you for so long. It can be seen how useless you are.”
Old Zhao trembled with anger and said coldly: ”Old man Zhai, how dare you be so arrogant. Next time we meet you, you will definitely kill him. Today, I will use you as an offering.” He had never thought that Zhai Yingkong would say such a thing. The little monkey was just spouting nonsense to piss him off.
Xiao Li smiled as he listened to what Old Zhai said. He thought to himself, ”This is great. Old Zhai will be in a lot of trouble in the future.” This little monkey was truly afraid of heaven and earth. It could spout such nonsense. However, it had been forced into a corner by Old Zhao. Otherwise, it would not have lost its rationality. However, since this little monkey was Old Di's descendant, then he would have to think of a way to save him no matter what.
In the blink of an eye, he had yet to come up with any good ideas. However, the other side had already started fighting again.
Old Zhao was like a mad tiger, with the wind whooshing from his palms as he charged towards the little monkey with a destructive force. When the little monkey saw this, it quivered and did not dare to take it head-on. The two of them fought as they retreated. Little Monkey was already powerless, but at this moment, he revealed Old Zhao's might.
Old Zhao's palms were not very fast, but with his decades of cultivation, in front of absolute strength, the little monkey was like a small boat in the ocean, relying entirely on the ingenuity of the 'Thousand Hands Illusory Flower', but as long as it received Old Zhao's palm, it would be done for.
Xiao Li couldn't help but be anxious. He originally didn't want to save Xiao Monkey, but now that he found out he was a disciple of Zhai Yingkong, he couldn't just stand by and watch. Seeing the little monkey dodging left and right, being forced to the mountain wall by Old Zhao, it seemed as if it wanted to trap the little monkey in its retreat path, making it unable to rely on its nimble movements to dodge.
Watching the little monkey retreat step by step and reach the big tree, Xiao Li suddenly remembered that he could pass on his skills to Ji Junyan during the competition. He couldn't help but think of that possibility.
Without a sound, he glided towards a small tree branch. With the help of the thick foliage, he was able to completely hide from Old Zhao and the others. Old Zhao's palm blew at the tree branches, causing them to sway unsteadily. Suddenly, a branch approached the little monkey's back. The little monkey shuddered and stopped moving.
Upon seeing the situation, Old Zhao didn't feel anything amiss either. He immediately sent a palm strike downwards, intending to kill him. He saw the little monkey extend his right hand to catch Old Zhao's left palm. The two's palms seemed to suddenly stick together. In just a moment, Old Zhao's face changed drastically. His cheeks flushed red as he let out a sigh, ”Haa!” His right palm slashed out.
The little monkey stretched out his left hand to meet Old Zhao's right palm. There was only a ”chi chi chi” sound as Old Zhao jumped back several feet. His body staggered, and he actually fell to his knees on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. After a long while, Old Zhao stood up shakily and said with a hoarse voice, ”May I know which expert is the one that attacked? Can you show yourself?
After a long time, when no one was around, Old Zhao said, ”Since Senior is unwilling to show himself, then Junior shall take his leave.” He knew that the person had secretly helped the little monkey, and his intentions were very clear. He did not want him to kill the little monkey, so he tactfully turned around and quickly left.
It turned out that when Xiao Li saw the little monkey retreat under the tree, he immediately used the branches to transfer energy into the little monkey's body. Because of his cold true energy, the little monkey immediately trembled, and Old Zhao saw the opportunity and waved his palm towards Xiao Li. When Xiao Li saw this, he immediately directed his true power to escape out of the little monkey's right palm, muscles and veins, causing the little monkey to receive his palm strike. However, he had some experience against his opponent, so he did not unleash his palm energy. He let Old Zhao Zhen attack him on purpose, and with his strength wrapped around Old Zhao's arm, Old Zhao's arm was able to strike through all obstacles.
Old Zhao was also impressive. Seeing this, he made a decision. Before Xiao Li's force reached his Dantian, he immediately used all of his strength to strike out with his right palm.
Xiao Li originally wanted to save others, so he didn't want to cause any problems. Thus, he immediately retracted his strength and escaped to the little monkey's left palm to forcefully receive Old Zhao's full power attack. Old Zhao's left palm had been wrapped around by Xiao Li's force all along, so he couldn't pull back anymore. Therefore, he tried his best to strike, wanting to use the force to retreat, but he didn't expect the other party to back off so quickly, causing him to lose the buffer of his strength. At the same time, his dantian was empty, and he was immediately hit by the force. When he saw that Xiao Li's inner strength was incredibly strong and had reached the acme of perfection and that he could easily use the little monkey's body to allow his own strength to devour him, he immediately recognized Xiao Li as a senior expert.
He knew that Old Zhao's power was deep, so he did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Therefore, when he saw Old Zhao's full force right palm, he immediately gave up on tangling with Old Zhao's left palm and focused fully on protecting the strength of his right palm. Fortunately, Old Zhao's full power attack had entered into the little monkey's body, because even though the two experts were fighting in his body, there was no doubt that he would die.
When Old Zhao had shouted at Xiao Li, he had been too busy trying to destroy the peculiar true energy within the little monkey's body, so he hadn't had the time to pay attention to him. After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Xiao Li completely extinguished Old Zhao's true energy. He then used his true energy to comb through the little monkey's body. Finally, his true energy escaped from the branch and returned to his body. The current Xiao Li was no longer the same novice in healing Da Niu. He had received guidance from Ling Qingyun and Zhai Yingkong. Especially since Ling Qingyun patiently explained the basic principles of the beginnings of all kinds of martial arts to him, allowing him to recover his true energy to the point where he wouldn't leave any trouble for others like in the past.
Actually, ever since he broke up with everyone, he hadn't dared to abandon his cultivation technique and put in more effort. Because he knew that the more power he had, the more hope he had to save lives. So during this period of time, he had been tidying up his various battles and experiences since he started learning martial arts, allowing him to use his true qi more smoothly.
This was just gossip. It was said that Xiao Li had saved the little monkey and scared Old Zhao away. Little Monkey himself did not expect Old Zhao to not have died today. Not only that, Old Zhao had escaped with heavy injuries and didn't even have the chance to talk to him. This made him feel as if he was in a dream.
