After the gust of boxing wind, the magnificent hall was in a mess.
The powerful boxing wind blew the rain curtain outside the door askew. The disciples of Tiehe Villa who rushed over were so scared when they saw their leader being blasted away with a single punch that they quickly stepped back.
Tap-tap-tap...
Yejingtang stood in the center of the hall in a black robe, surrounded by the collapsed sect leaders and dozens of disciples with shocked expressions in their eyes.
Guang Hanlin, who had just escaped from the jaws of death, was a bit puzzled as to why Ye Silang had become so terrifying after not seeing him for about a month. But at the moment, he didn't have time to think about it. With the help of his disciple, he stood up and stepped aside, quickly taking the antidote.
Leaning against the wall, Guan Yujia also had a hint of surprise and doubt in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he straightened up and casually patted the torn robe:
"What a powerful Thunder God's Eight Extremes Fist. Nephew Ye really knows how to hide your strength."
As soon as his voice sounded, everyone in the hall came back to their senses, and the sect leaders and their disciples quickly retreated to the door of the hall.
Yejingtang's original intention was to talk about cooperation with Guan Yujia, trying to find out the whereabouts of the Prince of Wu or trick out the secret recipe of "Snow Lake Powder".
Now that they had already started fighting, there was naturally no room for negotiation.
"Lord Guan, this 'Little Boxing Champion' seems to be somewhat overrated."
"Hehe..."
Guan Yujia let out a lukewarm laugh, twisted his neck to stretch his muscles, and slowly walked towards the center of the hall:
"I thought you were quite sensible just now and didn't guard against you. Even with your full-strength sneak attack, you didn't hurt me at all. Nephew Ye, I'm afraid you're not qualified to say that I'm overrated."
Seeing that Guan Yujia had been hit hard on the ribs but his breath didn't change much, Yejingtang frowned secretly and didn't say anything more. He just hooked his hand.
"..."
The hall was completely silent, and everyone inside and outside the hall quietly stepped back to create some distance.
Seeing Yejingtang's arrogance, a hint of coldness flashed in Guan Yujia's eyes. With just a flicker of his figure, two pits appeared where he stood. In an instant, he bypassed half of the hall and slid towards Yejingtang almost horizontally. On the way, he clenched his right fist and straightened his back:
"Hah!"
With a loud shout, Guan Yujia's strength surged from the ground and he punched out. The qi energy gathered at one point, and the deafening sound of the breaking wind caused by the terrifying speed of the punch made the pupils of the sect leaders present shrink slightly and their faces turn pale with horror.
Yejingtang was in front of the heavy punch. He felt as if a heavy cannonball was suddenly smashing towards him. Before it even reached him, the imposing manner was already so overwhelming that it almost made him suffocate.
This punch was incredibly fast. Liu Qiansheng still had the weakness of old age and physical decline, but this punch was truly unreasonable.
Yejingtang's reaction was incredibly fast. Seeing this, he directly raised his left hand to block the heavy punch, and at the same time, with the posture of "the bear's fierce lean", his right shoulder crashed into Guan Yujia's chest.
Guan Yujia was clearly surprised to see that Yejingtang's reaction could keep up with the speed of his punch.
Seeing that Yejingtang was about to use the Iron Mountain Lean to break his move in the blink of an eye, Guan Yujia didn't even show the slightest sign of dodging. He directly raised his left arm and delivered a powerful horizontal elbow strike, directly hitting Yejingtang's right temple.
The elbow strike was as sharp as a knife. Being elbowed in the side of the face by a peak martial artist like Guan Yujia would usually result in the head being shattered on the spot.
Seeing this, Yejingtang used his left hand to forcefully pull the punch to the side, straightened his right leg and lifted it high. He used his shoulder to collide with the incoming elbow.
Boom——
The two sides changed their moves several times in an instant when they engaged. When their limbs touched, the floor under their feet was instantly shattered, and two surging qi energies burst out between them.
Yejingtang's attacking move had the upper hand. At the moment of the collision, Guan Yujia's left sleeve robe fell apart, a groove appeared under his feet, and his whole body shifted horizontally more than two zhang backwards.
And Guan Yujia's reputation as the "Little Boxing Champion" wasn't fake either. A heavy elbow landed on Yejingtang's shoulder, directly blasting apart the clothes on Yejingtang's right shoulder, revealing the shining silver soft armor. The upper arm without the protection of the soft armor was directly cracked by this heavy elbow, and his figure stepped back two steps.
The two separated as soon as they touched. Although it seemed that Guan Yujia was the one who was knocked back and Yejingtang was not greatly affected, Guang Hanlin and the others were all experts and could see the seriousness of the situation.
Guan Yujia used the elbow strike for both offense and defense, and he firmly withstood the Iron Mountain Lean. He was knocked back but his figure remained steady, which meant he had successfully defused the move without taking damage. And Yejingtang took the elbow strike head-on. The wound on his right shoulder clearly indicated that he had been injured by the impact.
Guan Yujia stopped sliding backwards. He immediately wanted to step forward and press the attack, but as soon as he took a step, his expression turned strange.
Yejingtang retreated after knocking Guan Yujia away. He caught the Minglong Spear thrown by Sanniang. Just as he was about to turn around and attack, he also stopped in his tracks, frowned slightly, and looked at the wrist guard on Guan Yujia's arm.
Everyone present was confused when they saw the two suddenly stop fighting.
Pei Xiangjun held a saber and carefully guarded against the enemy. Seeing this, she asked:
"What's wrong?"
Yejingtang felt that when he had just torn Guan Yujia's sleeve robe, he seemed to have also broken something. A cool feeling came from his arm, and it was a faint sense of familiarity...
Guan Yujia saw the serious expression on the face of "Ye Silang" in front of him and knew that the other party had realized he had been poisoned.
He had originally wanted to test the medicine on Ye Silang, but the other party had spoken very sensibly, so he gave up this idea. The previous exchange of blows was purely a normal fight, and he hadn't even planned to take out the "Daliang Pearl".
But the "Daliang Pearl" was placed on the outside of the wrist guard in case of emergency. Ye Silang had crashed into him, and the "Daliang Pearl" had been shattered. The medicinal liquid had obviously touched the other party's arm.
Although it was an unintentional act, the process and result gave a sense of "planning and calculating step by step".
Seeing this, Guan Yujia simply stopped his movements, stood up straight, and showed a cold smile as if everything was within his calculations:
"Your mediocre martial arts skills, yet you dare to act recklessly in front of me. Did you really think that I got close to you to just exchange blows with you?"
Hearing this, Pei Xiangjun's face changed slightly. She knew that Yejingtang had been plotted against and quickly stood in front of him:
"What kind of poison did you get poisoned with?"
"I got poisoned with..."
Yejingtang felt a cool feeling coming from his arm, which was nourishing every inch of his skin and flesh. Even the shoulder that had just been hit hard was quickly recovering...
This medicinal effect was much stronger than Yulong Ointment. It was probably worth several hundred taels of silver...
Yejingtang wanted to say that he had been poisoned with a miraculous healing medicine, but looking at Guan Yujia's appearance of being deeply calculating, it was obviously impossible for him to use a healing medicine to pretend to be poison to scare him.
Unless Guan Yujia wanted to hit him first and then heal him, deliberately humiliating and mocking him...
As the saying goes, "where there's an exception, there's a catch." Yejingtang carefully felt it and found that this thing with an incredible medicinal effect seemed to be a little similar to the white jade bead last time. So he said:
"It seems to be a poison made with Bone-Burning Hemp."
"Ah?!"
Hearing this, Pei Xiangjun understood that Yejingtang had been poisoned with the "Power Surge Pill" again. She was also confused. Afraid that Yejingtang would lose control when the medicinal effect took hold, she immediately protected him and stepped back:
"Let's go."
Although Yejingtang felt that this thing wasn't dangerous, the effect of nourishing the meridians seemed to have disappeared, and the meridians were expanding again, causing a slight swelling pain in the meridians, which was different from the previous medicine.
Yejingtang didn't know what this was. To prevent any accidents, he directly hugged Sanniang and flew back quickly, crashing through the side window.
Crash——
Guan Yujia wanted to see if the other party could withstand the medicinal effect, so he naturally wouldn't let Yejingtang run away. He took a long stick from his disciple, jumped up and crashed through the roof above, chasing after Yejingtang. He also said:
"Kid, you've been poisoned with this medicine. The faster you run, the faster you'll die. Stay where you are and protect your heart meridian. You still have a chance to live. I won't take your life."
Yejingtang didn't pay attention. He crashed through the window, hugged Sanniang, and rushed into the rain curtain, galloping towards the mountains behind the villa. At the same time, he took out a special version of the White Emperor Pill that could detoxify all poisons and swallowed it.
The White Emperor Pill melts in the mouth and can detoxify all poisons. Even if it can't detoxify a special and strange poison, it can temporarily suppress and relieve the toxicity.
But after Yejingtang took it, the comfortable feeling in his arm didn't disappear. Instead, under the effect of the White Emperor Pill, his injury healed even faster...
Pei Xiangjun held the long spear in her arms, guarding against Guan Yujia who was chasing behind. At the same time, she held Yejingtang's wrist to check. As a result, she found that Yejingtang's meridians were gradually surging, just like taking an immediate aphrodisiac. Even his breathing was gradually becoming heavier...
"How do you feel?"
"I..."
Yejingtang galloped at full speed in the rain curtain. His cheeks gradually turned red, and heat appeared on his forehead. His whole body's meridians were extremely full, and he felt the urge to find someone to fight with to release the qi energy in his body that had nowhere to go. It didn't matter if it was a man or a woman...
Yejingtang looked back. Guan Yujia was chasing behind, not in a hurry to get close. It seemed that he wanted to wait for him to be poisoned to death.
And several sect leaders who hadn't been poisoned, along with many martial artists from the Twelve Gates, were also following at a distance.
It wasn't appropriate to press Sanniang down in public...
The qi and blood in Yejingtang's body gradually became violent. Since he had already adjusted his bones and muscles to a perfect state last time, his bones and muscles didn't have the sour feeling like last time. However, if his qi and blood were vigorous, it didn't seem to affect his martial arts skills...
Swish-swish-swish——
Several figures galloped behind the villa. In an instant, they had reached the back of Wuming Mountain. Further ahead was an endless mountain range.
Guan Yujia maintained a distance of dozens of zhang, closely observing Ye Silang's figure. He found that his speed was gradually increasing and knew that the medicine had taken effect. Ye Silang had already started to forcefully expand his meridians, and his body must also be being tempered by powerful poisons like "Bone-Burning Hemp".
This kind of excruciating pain of tearing the tendons, dislocating the bones, and cutting the skin was unbearable for ordinary people. The previous martial artists who had tested the medicine either fell to the ground wailing and twitching or went crazy and attacked randomly, usually dying within a few quarters of an hour.
Ye Silang could hold on for such a long distance without showing any abnormalities. His will to live was indeed as strong as he had imagined, far exceeding that of ordinary people...
Ye Silang was the most powerful martial artist among the medicine testers, probably only slightly inferior to him.
Guan Yujia felt that there was a high possibility that Ye Silang could withstand the medicinal effect. A hint of joy welled up in his heart, and he didn't even dare to chase too close for fear of affecting the other party and causing him to be unable to withstand the medicinal effect due to distraction.
But unfortunately, Ye Silang's perseverance seemed to be only a little stronger than that of ordinary medicine testers.
Guan Yujia galloped in the rain curtain. Just as he chased to the back mountain, he saw Ye Silang, who was running while holding someone in front of him, suddenly drop in mid-air and fall into the forest.
Swish——
Guan Yujia stopped abruptly and landed more than ten zhang away. Holding a Qimei Stick obliquely pointing at the ground, he stared at the figure in front of him and said to comfort him:
"Don't worry. I won't take advantage of your weakness. If you can withstand the medicinal effect, I'll let you go."
"Huff..."
Yejingtang stopped in the rain. Pei Xiangjun, who was very close to him, could clearly feel a burst of heat, as if he was an iron man about to be burned red.
Pei Xiangjun's face changed slightly. She thought that Yejingtang couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to take the Minglong Spear to fight the enemy. And Luo Ning, who was waiting to assist in the back mountain, also silently came over from the side, wanting to cover Yejingtang's retreat.
But to Pei Xiangjun's surprise, when she raised the long spear, it was grabbed by Yejingtang beside her, and then the spear was snatched away.
"You..."
"I'm fine."
Yejingtang raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat and rain from his forehead. His whole body was steaming with mist, and his meridians were so full that he had to find something to release the energy.
He held the Minglong Spear wrapped in black cloth, turned to look at Guan Yujia not far away, and flicked his wrist slightly.
Boom——
The black cloth wrapping the long spear was shattered, and the black blade was exposed to the rain. The casually released qi energy directly pressed the rain curtain around him askew.
Guan Yujia saw this scene and guessed that the other party might not be able to withstand the medicinal effect and was preparing to go crazy and fight desperately. He said coldly:
"Kid, you should first calm your mind and resist the medicinal effect. If you lose your mind at this time, you will definitely die."
"What kind of poison did you give me?"
"The Daliang Pearl. It can expand the meridians, open the tendons, and strengthen the bones. As long as you can withstand it, you can take a big step forward. If you can't, you'll die."
Yejingtang nodded slightly. He felt that this thing was a replica of Cheng Shilu's bead and said:
"The way you prepared this medicine is wrong. If you expand the meridians in a short time and don't find a way to release the energy, it will burst the meridians."
"Hmm?"
Guan Yujia frowned slightly. At first, he didn't understand, but soon his eyes turned to one of horror!
He saw the young man in the black robe who had just finished speaking holding the spear with one hand at the end of the spear. In a flash, he had crashed through the rain curtain and rushed forward several zhang. He brought the spear down with a powerful strike!
Rumble——
In the silent mountains, a dull thunderclap suddenly sounded out of thin air.
The martial artists of the Twelve Gates who had chased after to observe the battle situation had just approached the area where the two were chasing when they found that the qi energy was raging in the forest in the mountain depression.
A suddenly appearing long dragon, carrying flying branches and leaves, directly split the dense rain curtain and pressed towards them. It gave everyone the feeling that they had suddenly entered a forbidden divine land and awakened a fierce dragon that had been sleeping there!
And Guan Yujia, who was directly facing the dragon, naturally felt it the most deeply.
Seeing the surging qi energy driving the rain curtain and crashing towards him from the forest, Guan Yujia immediately recognized this as the "Yellow Dragon Lying on the Path" of Honghua Tower.
But using the "Yellow Dragon Lying on the Path" with such a devastating momentum, Guan Yujia had only seen it in the hands of the old Spear Champion who had dominated the Jianghu many years ago.
Although it seemed that the control of the qi energy was a bit rough and not as effortless and pleasing to the eye as the old Spear Champion's, with such a huge commotion, the power should not be much different!
A look of horror flashed in Guan Yujia's eyes. He immediately dodged to the side and swept his stick towards the incoming spear blade.
Although Guan Yujia was known as the "Little Boxing Champion", his horizontal training martial arts hadn't reached the level of Jiang Zahu's invulnerable golden body, nor did he have the foundation of Liu Qiansheng's "swords can't touch the body" at his peak. When fighting an opponent of the same level who was holding a weapon, he definitely had to use a weapon, and his skills were not low.
Bang——
Yejingtang's extremely fierce spear strike came down. Guan Yujia raised his stick and swept it, hitting the end of
