Chapter 141 Blue Sand Hand

"That way, you won't be able to fight each other," Shi Potian laughed.

A deathly silence fell over the city wall. After a long while, Bao Dachu finally came to his senses, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself. He said in a low voice, "You...who exactly are you? When did such a young master like you emerge in the martial world?"

Qin Weibang was also speechless, saying, "Such skill is definitely not from an unknown person. Who exactly are you? Why do you want to be an enemy of my Sun Moon Divine Cult?"

Shi Potian said, "I'm not your enemy, I'm just telling you to stop fighting. You're all members of the Sun Moon Sect, why are you fighting your own people?"

Bao Dachu's face darkened, and he was about to lash out when Qin Weibang suddenly remembered something. He looked Shi Potian up and down and hesitated, saying, "You like meddling in other people's business so much...you might be Lin Pingzhi from the Fuwei Escort Agency?"

Shi Potian was taken aback: "You know me?"

Qin Weibang's expression changed drastically, and he blurted out, "It really is you! Lin Pingzhi, the one who single-handedly killed hundreds of Japanese pirates, repelled thousands of them, and collected the body of Master Long at the gates of Nanjing!"

Bao Dachu's pupils shrank dramatically: "What? He's Lin Pingzhi, the young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the Fuwei Escort Agency?"

Xiang Wentian was also stunned. He looked Shi Potian over again, his eyes filled with astonishment: "You are the 'Invincible Southerner' who defeated the Five Great Protectors of Songshan and killed Yu Canghai with one palm at the Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony? No wonder, no wonder! My defeat was not unjust."

Shi Potian smiled awkwardly: "What do you mean by 'Invincible in the South'? That's just something they call him. I don't like that title."

Bao Dachu's face turned ashen, and he sneered, "'Invincible in the South'? Utterly ignorant of his own limitations! A greenhorn, fresh out of school, who's only fought a few tough battles and met a few masters? He dares to call himself 'Invincible in the South'? Where does he place our Eastern Cult Leader?"

Qin Weibang also angrily said, "Young Master Lin, I originally liked you quite a bit because you collected Master Long's body. But your nickname violates a major taboo of our sect, and we absolutely cannot pretend we didn't see it."

Shi Potian said seriously, "I told you, I don't like this title. It's just something someone else called me."

Bao Dachu roared, "No matter who called it that, this name violates the taboo of the cult! If you don't promise to change this name, don't even think about leaving!"

Xiang Wentian laughed from the side, "Bao Dachu, you've even had your weapons confiscated, yet you still dare to speak so arrogantly here? Dongfang Bubai hides on Blackwood Cliff all day long, how could he know that 'new talents emerge in every generation, and each new generation surpasses the old?' Martial arts cultivation is like rowing against the current; use it or lose it. I think Dongfang Bubai is probably not as good as before, and may not be a match for Young Master Lin."

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

Bao Dachu's face flushed red, and he said sternly, "Xiang Wentian, stop trying to sow discord here! We were caught off guard and ambushed by this brat, which is why we lost our weapons. It's not that we were truly unable to defeat him!"

"How much skill can this young man possess, yet he dares to be on par with the sect leader?"

"Kid, do you dare to test your skills against us?"

Shi Potian asked, "You still want to fight?"

Bao Dachu gritted his teeth and said, "If you lose, you'll have to change the title 'Invincible in the South' and never use it again!"

Shi Potian sighed, "I really don't like this title. But if others want to call me that, there's nothing I can do. I prefer to be called 'Lin Potian'."

Bao Dachu sneered, "You talk a good game, but who knows what you're really thinking? If you're so capable, let's see what you've got!"

Xiang Wentian chimed in from the side, "Brother Lin, if they're not convinced, why don't you show them what you've got! Let these old fogies know what it means to be 'there's always someone better than you'!"

Elder Ge, who wielded the knife, said, "Elder Bao, we are here to deal with Xiang Wentian. Let's not create any unnecessary complications, lest we fall into Xiang Wentian's trap."

Xiang Wentian laughed and said, "Elder Ge is the one who knows what's good for him. He knows that even the Five Great Protectors can't withstand a single move from Young Master Lin. You five can only bring shame upon yourselves."

Elder Ge: "Xiang Wentian, you..."

Bao Dachu angrily said, "Elder Ge, stop! Someone has challenged the sect leader's prestige; how can we turn a blind eye? If Steward Yang finds out, we'll be in big trouble!"

"Kid, if you don't dare to take this challenge, just shout three times, 'Lin Pingzhi is not worthy to be ranked alongside the Eastern Cult Leader,' and we'll let it go."

Shi Potian said helplessly, "Alright then. All of you come at me together. If you lose, don't fight this senior anymore."

Bao Dachu's expression changed, and he angrily said, "Attack us all at once? Do you really think we're trash like the Songshan Taibao?"

Shi Potian said seriously, "The five of you are not even as good as the Songshan Taibao. Their palm techniques and swordsmanship are far superior to yours. You should all come at me together. It's too much of a waste of time to come one by one. I need to go back to sleep."

The five men were furious, their anger causing their three spirits to throb wildly.

Bao Dachu said sternly, "Fine! Fine! Fine! Since you, Young Master Escort, have said so, don't blame us for ganging up on you!"

Bao Dachu was secretly delighted: How could I not know the strength of the Songshan Taibao? My anger was just an act. Now that this kid has asked for it himself, I can't be surprised. The Songshan Great Songyang Palm is incredibly fierce, how can it compare to the wonders of my "Blue Sand Hand"? Today, I'll let this kid see for himself.

Before he finished speaking, he gestured with his eyes and unleashed a double palm strike, the "Blue Sand Hand," aimed directly at Shi Potian's chest. The palm wind was chilling, faintly shimmering with blue light—his signature poisonous palm technique, which had made him famous for decades.

The other four understood and attacked almost simultaneously, going all out without holding back.

Qin Weibang's fists were like hammers, wielding the Shaolin Vajra Fist, its powerful force aimed directly at Shi Potian's temples. He was originally a Shaolin disciple, yet few in the martial arts world knew of him. He usually fought with his judge's pen, but in crucial moments, he would unleash his fists and feet, often catching his enemies off guard and killing them instantly.

Elder Ge unleashed a move called "Tiger Descending the Mountain," his palms like knives, slashing towards Shi Potian's shoulder and neck. The other two men in black, one using Eagle Claw Kung Fu and the other using grappling techniques, attacked simultaneously from both sides.

The five men attacked together, their fists and feet raining down, a strong wind howling, enveloping Shi Potian.

Xiang Wentian's expression changed slightly. Even at his peak, he would have to give way to these five people working together. This young man possessed a miraculous skill of disarming a blade with his bare hands; he wondered how skilled he was in martial arts. Bao Dachu's "Blue Sand Hand" was not easy to deal with.

He shouted a warning: "Brother Lin, Bao Dachu's palm technique is extremely poisonous. Those struck by it suffer excruciating pain, as if being slowly sliced ​​to death. Young brother, please do not be careless!"

Shi Potian heard the warning but didn't care. He loved the Poison Palm technique.

He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, completely ignoring Xiang Wentian's warning.

Xiang Wentian exclaimed in alarm, "Young Master Escort, be careful! The Blue Sand Hand technique is no ordinary weapon; you must not take it head-on!"

In the blink of an eye, with a muffled thud, the two palms collided.

Bao Dachu couldn't help but grin maliciously.
