The full moon hangs high.
Like dark black clouds rolling in gradually, the moonlight couldn’t shine through the thick clouds, gradually being covered by the clusters of clouds, and the light dimmed.
At this moment.
The square in front of the Golden Palace was in chaos.
The formation formed by ten thousand Imperial Guards had been broken through by Qiao Mu alone, falling far behind.
Thousands of Imperial Guards were killed or injured, and although many seemed to have survived, the formation had been breached, and their fighting spirit was nearly extinguished by the man who was as fierce as a wild beast.
Apart from a few of the Emperor’s personal Flying Fish Guards, the only one daring to stand in front of Qiao Mu was Yan Shenji.
"Is this… the Long Life Fist?" Qiao Mu’s gaze fell upon Yan Shenji.
"Long Life Fist" was the first martial art that Qiao Mu learned, and it is now one of the foundations of his martial arts skills.People say that "Long Life Fist" and "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method" are the two main martial arts practices of the Qiao family members.
Even though they seek longevity, the Qiao family members often find themselves in dangerous battles, making their family quite peculiar.
"Are you really going to use the ‘Long Life Fist’ against me?" Qiao Mu didn’t take it too seriously.
The Qiao Family in Heyang City has been wiped out, with the only survivor, Qiao Canxue, blinded and unable to practice martial arts. She has chosen the path of immortality instead.
Nowadays, there are three main lineages of the "Long Life Fist" in the world: The Qiao family members, the lineage of the Martial Saint who stole the "Long Life Fist Sutra," and the Great Yan Royal Family.
The third lineage belongs to the Great Yan Royal Family.
The master of the Qiao family from a century ago was the only superb martial artist in the history of the Qiao Family in Heyang City. He lived to over a hundred years old without aging, and his reputation spread from Nan Province to Zhong Province, even catching the attention of the emperor at that time, who invited him to the palace.
However, the truth is that the master of the Qiao family didn’t actually impress the emperor.
Throughout history, most of the Great Yan Emperors didn’t focus much on martial arts training like the founding emperor, as they were busy with their responsibilities.
A hundred years ago, the Great Yan Emperor only scratched the surface of martial arts training.
The one who truly mastered the essence of the Long Life Fist was the royal ancestor Yan Shenji.
Yan Shenji’s mastery of the Long Life Fist now surpasses the previous Qiao family’s master and has reached a profound level.
Yan Shenji’s fist techniques are like continuous rolling waves, reaching higher and higher, demonstrating the essence of the Qiao family’s Long Life Fist, the Ripple Stacking Wave Strength.
Yan Shenji has accumulated a deep internal strength over his two hundred years of life, combined with the consumption of precious treasures, his internal strength is vast like the ocean.
Long Life Fist against Long Life Fist!
Both sides’ fists are like continuous waves, releasing powerful internal strength that surges out like raging waves.
Qiao Mu practices the Pure Yang Wuji Skill, with internal strength that is extremely powerful and unstoppable.
Yan Shenji’s inner martial arts skill, the Imperial Extreme True Skill of the Great Yan Royal Family, shimmered in a mysterious yellow color, rivaling the exceptional skills of the Wudang School, both being top-tier martial arts in the world.
"Today, I will test your Qiao family descendant’s boxing skills."
Yan Shenji learned his boxing skills from the former master of the Qiao family, but he was not sure about the difference between the Qiao Family of Heyang City and the Long Life Qiao Family. He believed that Qiao Shuanggui was a descendant of the Qiao Family of Heyang City.
Therefore, considering himself a senior practitioner of the Long Life Fist, he wanted to see if the Qiao family descendants had inherited their ancestors’ boxing skills, which made sense…
Made sense…
Huh?
As soon as they began sparring, Yan Shenji felt something different.
Thinking that he had mastered the Long Life Fist to a high level, he believed that by engaging in combat, he could deduce the true age of the person in front of him, Qiao Shuanggui.
But this time…
He suddenly began to doubt his skills in Long Life Fist.
"Qiao Shuanggui, you are not a young person, but a member of the Qiao family who has not completely declined in vitality!" Yan Shenji frowned and said:
"You have been practicing this Long Life Fist for over a hundred years, right? Hmm, perhaps not quite…"
"Shouldn’t it be like this? Shouldn’t it?"
The two of them clashed fists on the white jade steps in front of the Golden Luang Palace, their powerful internal strength colliding like two huge waves, causing the steps to shatter in an instant.
These two individuals both had extremely profound internal strength, surpassing what ordinary martial artists could achieve even after a lifetime of training, far exceeding the so-called "limits of ordinary people."
The white and yellow internal strength clashed like a raging river, creating a swirling vortex that swept in all directions, shattering bricks and glass tiles that flew like arrows shooting out in all directions.
The Flying Fish Guard and Imperial Guards hurriedly dodged.
Even the aftermath of their internal strength bursts in their battle could potentially be fatal, as the flying rubble and shattered stones were stronger than the arrows they were shooting, capable of piercing through their armor.
As Yan Shenji kept hitting, his forehead creased even more.
As the ancestor of the Great Yan royal family, he had consumed countless treasures, but in reality, his internal strength was as deep as an endless sea, and he had not used his full power for many years.
What made him uneasy was not the battle situation.
It was the Qiao family member in front of him.
Either he was going crazy, or his Long Life Fist skill was not up to par, leading to a serious misjudgment.
Because, according to his estimate…
This Qiao Shuanggui was not just an ordinary centenarian!
His actual age might be around three to four hundred years old?
Three to four hundred years old, is an unbelievable number for ordinary people.
Throughout history, there have been many dynasties, but no dynasty that aimed to unify Jiu Province has lasted for three hundred years!
It’s not that there are almost no dynasties that lasted for three hundred years, there are none at all!
Could it be true that the person before him, Qiao Shuanggui, is even older than the Great Yan Imperial Court, having existed even before the founding of Great Yan and living for three to four hundred years?
Are there really mortals in this world who can live for so long, aside from him?
No… Qiao Shuanggui is even older than Yan Shenji, not even belonging to the same generation.
This doesn’t make sense.
Unless… he practices immortal cultivation? Or perhaps like Yan Shenji, he possesses a unique talent as a Medicine Spirit Body and has taken many longevity elixirs.
Yan Shenji naturally leans towards… making a mistake in judgment and being wrong.
With this in mind, Yan Shenji’s fist posture changed.
He was filled with great confusion in his heart.
He was no longer concerned about the outcome of the battle, he just wanted to know if the person in front of him, Qiao Shuanggui, was truly another immortal besides himself.
Then his fist suddenly changed, rising like waves, gathering strength gradually, one wave surpassing the next.
This was the essence of Qiao family’s Long Life Fist, known for its high level of difficulty, the Ripple Stacking Wave Strength.
The Ripple Stacking Wave Strength was known for its complexity and difficulty to learn, a well-known martial art skill beyond the norm.
Mastering the Stacking Wave Strength required years of dedicated practice.
Just like Yan Shenji, who had been practicing for two hundred years in the deep palace.
Of course, within the martial arts world, Long Life Fist was not the only advanced technique, and Stacking Wave Strength was not the only skill that required full exertion of power.
Judging from one’s proficiency in Stacking Wave Strength, it could also serve as one of the indications of a Qiao family member’s true age.
Yan Shenji spoke loudly:
"Among the practitioners of Qiao family’s Long Life Fist, only two people have mastered Stacking Wave Strength up to Triple Wave level."
"The late head of the Qiao family."
"And… as an outsider martial artist like me, Yan Shenji." Yan Shenji pretended to be arrogant, speaking in an old-fashioned manner:
"Qiao family’s Stacking Wave Strength is known for being difficult to learn, I wonder if the current descendants of Qiao family have mastered the techniques of their ancestors?"
Despite being an outsider martial artist, he insisted on displaying such a posture in front of Qiao family members, in order to draw out their Ripple Stacking Wave Strength.
"Ripple Stacking Wave Strength, Triple Wave!"
Yan Shenji’s fist movements were like layers of waves, reaching the third layer, the mysterious yellow internal strength emanating from his palm was like a towering wave that seemed to freeze even the air.
Faced with this powerful wave of force, Qiao Mu’s punching movements were identical, also using Ripple Stacking Wave Strength.
Long Life Fist against Long Life Fist, Stacking Wave Strength against Stacking Wave Strength.
Using the same move isn’t scary, who is weaker will be embarrassed.
The only difference is, Qiao Mu quietly gave himself a power boost.
"Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method!"
Qiao Mu, who is now 375 years old, mastered the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method long ago, dismantling it smoothly like breathing, ready to unleash with just a thought.
Qiao Mu, who endured until now, had long seen that Yan Shenji’s inner strength was unfathomable, similar to his as a martial artist.
The moment of victory or defeat is fleeting!
"Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method, Stacking Wave Strength, Fourfold Wave!"
His skin rapidly cracked, tiny blood droplets seeping from every pore, and the sharp blood-red energy burst forth, intensifying as Qiao Mu’s palm movements grew in strength, like a thousand-layered sea wave.
Yan Shenji’s eyes widened slightly.
Until this moment, he could already determine….
This person is not a middle-aged person in their forties or fifties, nor a centenarian from a long-lived tribe, but a three to four-hundred-year-old immortal in the human world!
However, strangely….
Despite being an immortal, he was so reckless, using an extremely fierce explosive forbidden technique.
A loud boom resounded.
In the moment when the white and yellow energy waves collided.
The entire Golden Palace shook violently, the surging energy waves picking up debris and rocks, causing the nearby Imperial Guards and Flying Fish Guards to be blown away.
Amidst the overwhelming force like a landslide.
Yan Shenji dragged his feet back, leaving a long ditch in front of the palace, before finally stopping.
He stood still, with a strange light in his eyes, looking at his slightly trembling hand, emotions rising within.
"The Qiao family member lives a long life but dies young…" Yan Shenji muttered.
"Since Qiao Shuanggui has given his all and shown his courage, I can’t hide anymore as an old man who refuses to die…"
At this point, any hesitation or holding back would be disrespectful to the Qiao family member.
Hesitation?
Respect for a younger generation comes from hesitating.
But Qiao Shuanggui is even older than him! In fact, he is the younger one!
Yet, as he was struck back by Qiao Mu’s blow, he felt a myriad of emotions.
Suddenly, the dark sky lit up completely.
Among the rushing dark clouds, a winding purple lightning bolt descended from the sky like a snake, striking Qiao Mu with incredible speed.
The timing of this lightning strike was extremely precise.
It happened just as Qiao Mu unleashed the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method, his punch at its peak, leaving him defenseless in that moment between old and new power.
In an instant, a brilliant purple light enveloped Qiao Mu entirely, submerging him within it until he was no longer visible to the onlookers, the brightness reaching its peak.
As the light faded slightly.
In the place where Qiao Mu had stood, there was now only a deep crater and a body charred black.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
A rainbow flashed above in the sky, signaling the arrival of the Great Dao Sect cultivator Dao Ke, who stood in the air looking down, nodding slightly in apparent satisfaction.
Emperor Yonghe’s eye twitched slightly.
By now, he knew why the people from the Great Dao Sect were late…
Even Qiao Mu broke through the Imperial Guards’ defense line, almost reaching him; the ancestor had to step in…
They weren’t late at all, they were secretly lurking, waiting for the perfect moment!
"What era is it, still playing martial artist duels?" Dao Ke shook his head secretly.
"Some brothers like to watch cricket fighting, but I’m not interested."
