Chapter 88 Our Sun Moon Cult really has good people!
As their palms met, Ji Wushi felt a tremendous force coming from Shen An's palm.
In an instant, all his contempt turned into astonishment.
In his mind, even if the other party was a disciple of Songshan and had some foundation in internal strength, it would be difficult for him to contend with a famous figure like himself. With just one palm strike, he would be able to shake the other party so much that his blood and qi would churn and he would be captured.
However, what came from the other's palm was not as light and airy as he had imagined; instead, it was filled with an overwhelming and powerful force!
This force was incredibly powerful and pure, as if it couldn't be generated by flesh and blood, but rather like crashing head-on into a galloping giant elephant!
"Crack!"
With a sharp, teeth-grinding crack, Ji Wushi felt a numbness in his right arm, followed by excruciating pain! His right arm bone had been shattered by that single blow!
How...how is this possible?!
He screamed inwardly, staggering backward. His gaze toward Shen An no longer held any contempt, but was filled with utter disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
This person's palm technique is mediocre at all, showing no subtlety whatsoever. It is clearly the most basic introductory skill of the Songshan School. But how can the power of this palm be so domineering?!
Shen An landed a blow, but did not stop. He knew that his opponent's lightness skill was strange and that his own speed was inferior. If the opponent caught his breath and created distance, tonight's efforts would be in vain.
He pressed his advantage relentlessly, pushing forward with his feet and unleashing another palm strike aimed directly at Ji Wushi's chest.
The palm strike whistled, its power even greater than before!
Having learned his lesson, Ji Wushi dared not take the challenge head-on.
He endured the excruciating pain of his severed arm, pushed off the ground with his left foot, and his body drifted to the side like a tattered piece of cotton, intending to use that ghostly movement technique again.
However, just as he moved, he saw Shen An suddenly withdraw his palm midway through what seemed like a solid strike!
Oh no! It's a feint!
Ji Wushi felt a strong sense of alarm, but being in mid-air, there was no way to avoid it.
Shen An's right palm was merely a feint; his left leg was already poised to strike, like a powerful iron whip, silently and unexpectedly kicking Ji Wushi's right knee from an extremely tricky angle!
Today, Shen An has suffered countless losses because of his mediocre lightness skills.
He couldn't catch any of the enemies who wanted to escape, and he was already seething with anger.
After much painful reflection, he realized a truth: if you can't catch up, then break the opponent's legs first, and see how they can run away!
Ji Wushi was in mid-air, his old strength exhausted and new strength yet to be generated. It was clear that he could not avoid this kick. He had no choice but to forcefully twist his body again, putting all his strength into his right leg, and try his best to lift it up.
But with a muffled "thud," Shen An still kicked him in the leg.
Although Ji Wushi tried his best to deflect the kick, preventing Shen An's kick from landing, he still groaned and felt a tingling numbness in his right leg. He stumbled when he landed and almost fell.
Although his leg bone was not broken, his meridians were shaken, and in a short time, his once-proud lightness skill was greatly reduced.
"Wait!" Seeing that Shen An showed no sign of stopping and was about to close in again, Ji Wushi finally turned pale with fright and shouted urgently to stop him, "Friend, hold on! If you kill me, the Divine Cult will definitely investigate Elder Qu Yang's matter thoroughly. At that time, neither you nor Qu Yang and his grandson will escape!"
How familiar this sounds!
Shen Anqian paused slightly, a strange thought flashing through his mind.
Wasn't this exactly the same argument he used to "persuade" Qu Yang a month or so ago? Unexpectedly, the tables have turned in just one month, and the balance of power has shifted, with him now being the one being warned.
He stopped, looked at the other person coldly, and said calmly, "So, you admit that you were sent by the Demonic Sect to investigate Qu Yang?"
Seeing that he had stopped, Ji Wushi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and forced himself to endure the pain, saying, "That's right. For more than a month, Elder Qu Yang has been paying lip service to many of the orders given to our sect, going through the motions without putting in any effort, and recently he has cut off all contact with us. The wise and discerning leader of the Eastern Sect has long suspected him, which is why he sent us here to investigate."
Tsk, it seems the Northern Desert Twins are also here to investigate Qu Yang's matter.
Sigh, why doesn't this old man tell me these things?
Shen An was speechless for a moment, but then he thought that Liu Zhengfeng probably asked Qu Yang not to do evil anymore, so Qu Yang stopped carrying out the tasks of the Demonic Sect that involved killing innocent people and destroying families.
Even if I told myself, I wouldn't say he was wrong.
Seeing that Ji Wushi dared not move any further, Shen An swayed and, before Ji Wushi could react, swiftly tapped his fingers, sealing several major acupoints on Ji Wushi's body.
Let's get it under control first.
Ji Wushi's body stiffened, and he was immediately unable to move.
"I've already killed the Twin Bears of the Northern Desert, one more won't make a difference." Shen An's tone was calm, but what he said made Ji Wushi's heart sink.
What?! The Twin Bears of the Northern Desert are dead too?! Killed by this man?!
Ji Wushi felt a bitter taste in his mouth, regretting that he had been too arrogant and had treated this ruthless star as a novice disciple to be toyed with.
If he keeps using his movement techniques to pull away and doesn't meet his palm strike, he might never be able to touch a single piece of his own clothing before he dies.
Seeing that Shen An seemed genuinely unafraid of the consequences of killing him, Ji Wushi hurriedly retorted, "It's different! Those two northern bears are cannibals by nature. Although the brothers in the sect work with them in the Divine Cult, not a single one of them truly respects them. If they die, no one will really care. But I'm different!"
Shen An's lips curled into a mocking smile: "What makes you different? If I let you go, do you think you won't report to the Divine Cult what happened tonight?"
"Not to mention that if I were to die suddenly, especially if the cause of death were unknown, the Divine Cult would pay even more attention to Elder Qu Yang's matter."
Shen An was speechless. Couldn't this guy come up with something new? All he was saying were things he had already said.
"I came here not entirely to investigate Elder Qu Yang and report back to the main altar," Ji Wushi said in a low voice, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
"Oh?" Shen An raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
There's new work!
"Young hero, you may not know this," Ji Wushi said slowly, "but nowadays, all the power in the Divine Sect is controlled by the Grand Steward Yang Lianting."
He paused, and seeing Shen An's expressionless face, continued, "Actually, our Sun Moon Divine Sect was not originally such a wicked and evil-doing organization, hated by everyone in the martial world. It's all because Yang Lianting, relying on the favor of the Eastern Sect Leader, has acted perversely, eliminated dissidents, and committed countless acts that have angered both heaven and man. Not only you righteous sects, but many of our elders in the sect also cannot stand him."
Oh? Then who attacked Wudang Mountain and Huashan Mountain? Shaolin Temple?
Shen An remained unmoved and simply listened quietly.
Seeing this, Ji Wushi had no choice but to continue, "To be honest, we are outnumbered and outmatched, and dare not confront him directly. We can only secretly contact each other and stick together for warmth. We came here under the guise of investigation to see what has happened to Elder Qu Yang, and whether we can persuade him to join us in this righteous cause, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to set things right!"
They keep bluffing and deceiving.
Shen An snorted coldly in his heart, no longer willing to listen.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Qu Feiyan out of the corner of his eye, carefully running towards him while lifting the hem of her skirt. He was too lazy to waste any more words with her.
"Whether these words are true or false, you should save them for later and explain them to Elder Qu Yang personally," Shen An said calmly.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Ji Wushi's panic slowly faded, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying calmly, "Of course it's possible. Meeting Elder Qu is precisely what I wished to achieve on this trip."
Seeing his seemingly unafraid attitude towards meeting Qu Yang, Shen An suddenly had a thought and asked:
"What's your name?"
The man, though unable to move, still answered proudly, "There's nothing to hide; I have no other options."
No plan was devised...
Shen An's eyes flickered slightly.
It turned out to be him, that Miss Ren's fan.
Perhaps what he just said was actually partly true.
However, these people didn't actually dislike Yang Lianting's numerous evil deeds; they simply hated that the person who committed so many evil deeds and held such power wasn't themselves.
