Chapter 156 Tianshan Six Yang Palm

Cola Novels: Good books are updated continuously, waiting for you to appreciate them.

Hong Tai's palm strike, "Yangguan Triple Strike," sealed off all of Zhu Kui's escape routes, leaving her with nowhere to retreat and nowhere to avoid it.

Everyone in the room except Hong Antong was shocked, and the purple-clad envoys and imperial guards were even more furious.

"Impressive palm technique, Hong Tai. Does your palm technique have a name?" Zhu Kui remained calm, even in the face of such an astonishing palm strike, she could still ask this question.

Hong Tai was full of confidence and said, "My palm technique is called the Tianshan Six Yang Palm. Even if you were at your peak, Princess Yongle, you might not dare to directly confront its power."

Zhu Kui sneered. Seeing the palm strike approaching,

Suddenly, Long Kui fired three embroidery needles in quick succession, each a cold glint aimed at Hong Tai and his two companions!

Hong Tai sneered. His "Yangguan Sandie" was extremely fast, using illusion to deceive the enemy. You thought the three figures were real and illusory, but they were actually all real people transformed. It was only because they were too fast that you thought they were illusions.

What can a tiny embroidery needle do to me?

However, the next moment, his smile froze on his face.

Three embroidery needles were precisely shot into the palms of the three figures!

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!" Three soft sounds rang out almost simultaneously, the figure vanished, and Hong Tai felt a numbness in his palm as the force of his palm dissipated.

He swayed, and the three figures merged into one. He staggered back three steps, looked down, and saw a tiny red dot on his palm. The needle tip had penetrated three inches into his flesh, and blood was seeping out.

"Such fast needlework." Hong Tai looked up, staring at Long Kui with shock in his eyes.

The three glints of cold light from Longkui were actually fired from the same needle, but they were so fast that it looked like three needles were fired in quick succession.

Hong Tai struck three times, and three needles were also inserted into the palm of his hand, all in the same spot, which was simply unbelievable.

Longkui leaned back in her chair, holding the embroidery needle in her hand, and said calmly, "Of all martial arts in the world, none is invincible except speed. Your palm technique is good, but unfortunately, when it comes to speed, no one in the world is faster than me."

The living room was deathly silent.

Sarutobi Higetsu clutched his shoulder, his eyes wide. Since he began following Shi Potian, he had never seen Long Kui in action, only knowing that her martial arts were extremely high.

After all, it was just embroidering a flower, yet it made a master like him lose his mind.

Seeing it today, the speed of that needlework was simply unbelievable. He didn't even see how the three needles were launched. He thought there were three needles launched, only to find out later that it was one needle launched three times.

Lin Zhennan and his wife looked at each other in horror, thinking to themselves that no wonder Yang Yinglong couldn't dodge that needle last time. If those three needles had been aimed at them, they wouldn't have been able to see them at all.

The three women in purple robes helped each other to their feet, letting out a long sigh of relief. If anything had happened to the princess, they would have been doomed as well. They had followed Long Kui for many years and knew that the princess's martial arts were unfathomable. Today's flying needle technique was merely a small test of her abilities.

Hong Tai took a deep breath and slowly said, "Legend has it that the Embroidered-Clad General's martial arts are unparalleled. All those who have witnessed her fighting are dead, and no one knows the style of her martial arts. Seeing her today, it is indeed unprecedentedly fast. I did not expect your strength to recover so quickly."

Long Kui didn't answer, but secretly glanced at Shi Potian. Seeing that he seemed to be in much better condition and his face wasn't so red, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself that if he hadn't diligently practiced with him along the way, his skill wouldn't have recovered to this level, and he definitely wouldn't have been able to break through that palm strike just now.

Seeing that she was ignoring him, Hong Tai snorted.

"Then let's try my 'Six Directions and Eight Desolations, I Alone Am Supreme Technique'!" Hong Tai shouted.

His palm strikes suddenly changed, no longer pursuing speed, but instead unleashing both palms simultaneously, the force of which surged like a tidal wave, pressing down on Long Kui like an overwhelming tide. His body moved like a swimming dragon, circling around Zhu Kui, his palm power incomparably mighty, each strike containing decades of accumulated skill, not seeking to defeat his enemy in one move, but simply to trap her with sheer force.

Long Kui's expression changed slightly; she hadn't expected the "Six Directions, Eight Directions, I Alone Am Supreme" technique to be so powerful. Although her embroidery needles were fast, they couldn't stop the opponent from launching a palm strike from afar, and the opponent's palm force was extremely profound.

Her skills had not yet recovered, and it was already a struggle to force her true energy to launch the needles. At this moment, facing Hong Tai's relentless bombardment, her body felt as if it were trapped in an invisible vortex. The opponent's internal energy seemed inexhaustible, and gradually her movements became sluggish.

She fired several needles in quick succession, but they were no longer as swift as before, and were easily dodged by Hong Tai, preventing her from harming her.

Hong Tai pressed on relentlessly, each palm strike stronger than the last, whipping up the tables and chairs in the living room and shattering them into splinters.

Longkui was struggling to move in the whirlpool, so she stopped giving acupuncture and her face grew paler and paler.

"Yangguan Sandie!"

Hong Tai unleashed his ultimate technique once again, this time with three palms striking in the same direction. The three palm forces combined, like a flood bursting its banks, rushing straight at Long Kui! The palm force was tripled, pressing down from above, and even an embroidery needle could no longer penetrate such a powerful palm force.

A resolute glint flashed in Long Kui's eyes as she forcefully channeled her inner strength to break free from the vortex of the palm strike. She knew that this attack would inevitably worsen her internal injuries, and she might even suffer another qi deviation. But at this moment, she had no other choice.

Just then, a figure flashed by and blocked her way.

The man extended his right palm and casually pushed it forward, meeting Hong Tai's palm force three times greater.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar erupted, the force of which spread outwards, cracking several walls in the living room and sending tiles raining down. Hong Tai screamed in agony, staggering back three steps, his right arm hanging limply at his side—the bone was broken.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that the person blocking Long Kui's path was none other than Shi Potian.

His complexion was rosy, his eyes were clear, and his body was completely unharmed, showing no signs of deformation whatsoever.

"Big brother!" Qu Feiyan exclaimed with surprise and delight, rushing over to him.

Lin Zhennan and his wife were both surprised and delighted, and Sarutobi Riyue was even moved to tears: "My lord!"

Long Kui watched Shi Potian's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on her lips, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hong Tai clutched his severed arm, his face filled with disbelief: "You... how could you... my Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill..."

Shi Potian turned around and laughed, "I also have to thank you for the Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to cultivate this steel-like body."

Hong Tai's expression changed drastically: "Iron Body? You've mastered an indestructible body?" Recalling his palm strike with his opponent just now, his hand felt like it had hit a steel plate, and his hand was even broken by the impact. Could it be a new ultimate technique he had just mastered?

Shi Potian smiled slightly: "Your Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill was too potent, so I had nowhere to put it. I had a flash of inspiration and refined it into my tendons and bones, making my tendons and bones as hard as iron now."

Your Yangguan Triple Strike just now was equivalent to three times the force of a single palm strike. How could I possibly break your arm with just my internal energy? I took the blow with both my internal energy and my physical strength. Your arm was broken by the force of my physical body.

Hong Tai's face turned deathly pale as he murmured, "Practicing it to the bone, making one's body as strong as steel... indestructible... Is this how the Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill is supposed to be used? How is this possible..."

Of course, the Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill wasn't used like that. Not only was it unbelievable to Hong Tai, but even Xu Zhu, the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect, the original sect that created this Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill, couldn't have imagined that it could be used to cultivate an indestructible body.

He invented it not to harm people, but to resolve the hidden dangers of the "Six Directions and Eight Desolations Supreme Power".

Shi Potian stumbled upon the result by accident, never expecting it to be so effective.

It turned out that Shi Potian had just swallowed the Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill. The medicinal power entered his stomach, and at first, it felt like his body was being burned by raging fire, as if his internal organs were being set on fire. The pill contained highly nourishing ingredients such as thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus, deer antler, and leopard embryo, which were extremely potent and rampant in his body, tearing and stretching.

If an ordinary person takes it, their bones and muscles will immediately become twisted and their face will be unrecognizable. The thin will become fat, and the fat will become thin. This is because the drug is too potent for the mortal body to withstand.

But Shi Potian was different. He was protected by the Arhat Subduing Demon Skill within his body, and possessed a furnace within his body that could refine foreign objects. Moreover, he had recently cultivated with Long Kui, which greatly improved his internal strength. The medicinal power entering his body not only did not harm him, but instead acted like a key, opening a door deep within his body.

He recalled the "Even in Death, the Spirit Remains Fragrant" divine skill—this skill was originally used to strengthen bones and muscles, so that the body would not decay after death. The cultivation method also relied on repeated stimulation and tempering of the bones and muscles, but usually relied on one's own internal energy to immerse and polish them day and night.

As he was being torn apart and stretched by the medicinal power, he had a sudden inspiration and guided the domineering medicinal power into his bones, repeatedly tempering it with the "Fragrance of Heroic Bones in Death" mental technique.

Wherever the medicine touched, bones cracked and popped, bone density increased dramatically, bone marrow boiled, and bones became as hard as steel. From toes to skull, from finger bones to spine, every inch of bone was cleansed countless times by the medicine's power.

To outsiders, he appeared to be simply sitting with his eyes closed and his face flushed, but in reality, he was undergoing a tremendous transformation within his body.

An ordinary person's bones are like firewood, but his bones are now like iron; an ordinary person's tendons are like strings, but his tendons are now like steel wires. After his bone marrow grew stronger, even his skin changed, and he truly became an indestructible body of copper skin and iron bones.

Once the medicinal effects were fully refined, he opened his eyes and found himself to be indestructible.

With this body, even without martial arts skills, one would be a top-notch external martial arts master.

The ancients spoke of cultivating both inner and outer strength, and now Shi Potian has truly achieved it. In terms of physical strength alone, Shi Potian can now hold his own against Hong Tai.

He hadn't used much internal energy when Hong Tai struck him; he had simply instinctively reached out to block. The hardness of Hong Tai's steel-like body, combined with his own powerful internal energy, actually shattered Hong Tai's arm.

This is why Hong Taiming, despite his profound skills, ended up in such a state.

Shi Potian ignored Hong Tai, turned to Long Kui, and whispered, "Sister Long, are you alright?"

Longkui shook her head and smiled slightly, but her face was extremely pale.

Hong Tai clutched his severed arm and sighed, "Young Master Lin, you are indeed unpredictable. Even Lin Yuantu doesn't possess your abilities. Could it be that there truly are geniuses bestowed by heaven?"

However, the Ming Dynasty's fate is sealed. You can save Princess Yongle temporarily, but you cannot save the Ming Dynasty forever. This grudge will be avenged sooner or later!

After he finished speaking, he grabbed Hong Antong, who was lying on the ground, jumped onto the roof, and disappeared into the night.

Having said that, he vanished into the night with a flicker.

Just as Shi Potian was about to give chase, a muffled groan came from behind him. He turned around and saw Long Kui with a flushed face, her body limp and about to collapse.

"Sister Long!" Qu Feiyan exclaimed.

Disregarding his pursuit of the enemy, Shi Potian quickly walked to Long Kui's side, took her hand, and channeled a gentle stream of internal energy into her body. Long Kui's internal energy was in complete disarray, and the true qi in her meridians was surging wildly. Clearly, her earlier forceful exertion of true qi had damaged her very foundation.

"Sister Long, don't move, I'll heal your wounds," Shi Potian whispered.

Longkui leaned on his shoulder, smiled slightly, and said weakly, "Young Master Escort, you saved me again."

Shi Potian said, "You are my escort, it is only right that I save you."

The hall was a mess. The women in purple helped each other to their feet and surrounded Zhu Kui as a protector. Finally, the yamen runners from the prefectural government dared to enter to clean up the mess and treat the injured.

Physician Wang was naturally suppressed and thrown into prison.

Lin Zhennan and his wife, along with Sarutobi Riyue, despite their injuries, stayed by their side.

Qu Feiyan bid farewell to Ping Yizhi and saw him off.

Moonlight streamed through the broken walls, illuminating Shi Potian and Long Kui.

Qu Feiyan looked at the two with a worried expression, while Ping Yizhi looked at them with great interest and refused to leave.

Shi Potian's inner energy slowly flowed in, helping to regulate her disordered true energy. Long Kui's complexion gradually returned to normal. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn,

"Alright." Shi Potian withdrew his palm and helped her sit up. "Sister Long, your internal injuries are quite severe this time. You need to rest for a few days."

Longkui opened her eyes and smiled slightly: "With the young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) here, I'm not afraid."

Ping Yizhi leaned closer, stroking his rat whiskers, and looked Shi Potian up and down, his eyes full of curiosity: "Young Master Lin, let this old man take a look at what this Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill is all about."

Shi Potian extended his wrist. He placed three fingers on Ping Yizhi's wrist, closed his eyes, and concentrated. After a moment, he asked Shi Potian to describe in detail how the pill had entered his stomach, and Shi Potian listened attentively.

They even let him drip a drop of blood into the porcelain bowl and examine it carefully.

"How strange, how bizarre!" Ping Yizhi shook his head. "Your blood contains an extremely vigorous life force, more than a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary person. The medicinal power of the Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill has indeed been refined into your bones. In my decades of medical practice, I have never seen such a strange thing. Could there really be a miraculous medicine in the world that can make someone instantly fat, thin, tall, or short?"

Shi Potian asked, "Doctor Ping, will I be alright in the future?"

Ping Yi pointed and said, "You'll be fine. Not only will you be fine, but your body will actually become indestructible. I'm afraid even the indestructible body of the Shaolin Temple is far inferior to yours."

He paused, then added, "However, although the medicinal power has been refined into your bone marrow, it still needs to be further refined so that your bones and muscles can continue to strengthen."

Shi Potian nodded.

Ping Yizhi then looked at Long Kui and frowned, saying, "What happened to Your Highness's internal injury? Judging from your healing just now, it seems extraordinary, as if there was a back-and-forth exchange."

Shi Potian said, "Doctor Ping is truly amazing. We have indeed been practicing dual cultivation, and each time we do, we can help Sister Long absorb some of the heat toxins."

Ping Yizhi's eyes widened: "Dual cultivation? You...you..."

Qu Feiyan blushed and said, "Uncle Ping, don't think too much! The dual cultivation that the young man mentioned refers to two people pressing their palms together and circulating their internal energy to heal injuries, not that kind of... that kind of..."

Ping Yizhi suddenly realized, said "Oh," and stroked his beard, "I see. But, Your Highness, why do you have so much heat toxin? May I take your pulse?"

Zhu Kui was surprised that Ping had seen through their unusual behavior with just one finger, and stretched out her hand, saying, "I was just about to ask Doctor Ping for his advice?"

Ping Yizhi examined the pulse for a long time, then pondered and said, "There seems to be a problem with your cultivation technique?"

Long Kui was startled and exchanged a glance with Shi Potian. "What's the problem?"

Ping Yizhi said, "Your kung fu doesn't seem to be designed for women."

Longkui's eyes lit up, and she said, "Dr. Ping truly lives up to his reputation as a divine physician; you even noticed that."

This was her biggest secret in martial arts, but Ping Yizhi saw through it in an instant.

Shi Potian had also noticed that Zhu Kui's technique was incorrect, and asked:

"Dr. Ping, is there any way to remedy this?"

Ping Yi pointed and said, "Of course there are. Even men would have problems practicing this skill, but men have ways to solve them, while women can't use that method."

Longkui was even more surprised. She had thought Ping Yizhi was unremarkable in appearance and nothing special, but she never expected him to be so capable.

He asked urgently, "What method should be used on the woman?"
