Chapter 54: Dragon Subduing Palm, Great Stone Smashing Hand, Formless Robbery Finger

Xuan Nan has practiced the art of smashing monuments for decades and has reached a very high level of proficiency. His moves are powerful yet flexible and have incredible destructive power.

Moreover, this unique skill itself is extremely powerful, and ranks seventh among the 72 Shaolin unique skills.

Even when he was sparring with the abbot's brother Xuanci, the other party could only resist with force and was difficult to break.

Not to mention, there is a realm difference between Li Ming and himself...

Xuan Nan really couldn't accept what had just happened, but the pain in his palm reminded him that if he hadn't dodged in time, his palm would have been pierced...

Seeing that Li Ming dared to attack suddenly, Zhang Gong also stood up and used the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

But before he could make a move, Elder Xi had already been defeated. The claw power condensed from the true energy grabbed his throat and he was pulled directly to his knees in front of Li Ming.

Gong Chang Zhang couldn't help but hesitate slightly.

Xuan Nan and Xuan Ji were also afraid to take action for a moment and did not continue.

The most shocked and angry person was Elder Xi.

Didn’t they send someone to drug the martial arts gym’s water source?

Moreover, he had repeatedly confirmed with Wan Dajin that many disciples in the martial arts school had fallen ill, and Li Ming must be no exception.

With a fellow Grandmaster like Master Xuan Nan as his companion, he felt at ease to visit.

But the face-to-face fight at the door just now had made him realize that something was wrong. Now he was even more certain that Li Ming was not affected at all. How could he look like he had been hit?
Elder Xi was so frightened that he shouted without thinking too much.

"Wan Dajin, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it!"

His original intention was to let Wan Dajin send a signal so that the snake formation that had been set up in advance would come in handy.

However, after shouting, Elder Xi turned his head with difficulty, only to find Wan Dajin standing there, showing no intention of taking any action.

"Wan...you..."

Elder Xi was about to curse, but Li Ming's energy tightened in his hand, and he swallowed the rest of his words immediately.

Li Ming looked towards Gong Chang Zhang.

"Elder Gong, I have heard that the Beggars' Sect has always been known for its chivalry, but I never thought that the sect was actually full of filth and evil, and that its actions were despicable and sinister. It is truly unworthy of its reputation and is despicable."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Before you came here, you sent someone to secretly poison the water supply of my martial arts hall. This is extremely despicable. Is this a trick you Beggars' Sect often use?"

Li Ming said as he took out a few packages.

"This Elder Xi's subordinates are even more guilty of kidnapping and mutilating people alive. How should we deal with this?"

When these words were spoken, the two Shaolin monks, including Master Gong Zhang, both took a deep breath.

Harvesting living beings and dismembering them is an evil act that is too cruel. No matter in the imperial court or the martial arts world, once it is exposed, it will not be tolerated. Even the people in the evil cult would not do it.

Not to mention, if the leader of the Beggars' Sect really did such a bad thing, it would only ruin the reputation of the Beggars' Sect if it got out.

"Elder Xi is in your hands, you can frame him however you want!"

Gong Chang Zhang narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Ming.

But then, contrary to everyone's expectations, Wan Dajin, who had been silent since entering the door, took a step forward.

"I testify that what Master Li said is true! A few days ago, it was Elder Xi who ordered me to secretly put drugs in the well of Qianming Martial Arts Hall. At the same time, Elder Xi also protected his disciples from doing many evil things and regularly accepted benefits. From what I saw, there were no less than a hundred children who were harmed nearby!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two Shaolin monks, Gong Chang Zhang, Shan Zheng and others were all stunned.

Everyone looked at Wan Dajin and then at Gong Chang Zhang blankly.

It seemed to mean, isn't he from your Beggars' Sect? Why is it that I can't understand what he said?
After Gong Changzhang realized what was happening, he shouted, "Wan Dajin, do you know what you are talking about? Who told you to frame me like this?"

Just as he was about to take action, Li Ming's voice came from the side.

"Elder Gong, you don't let people speak clearly. Are you guilty and want to kill people to silence them?"

As he spoke, Li Ming glanced at Elder Xi who was restrained by him.

Gong Chang Zhang was suddenly speechless.

He looked at Wan Dajin fiercely: "Do you know what crime it is to frame our gang elders? You'd better think carefully before you speak!"

Although he said this, Gong Chang Zhang actually felt that something bad was going to happen.

Elder Xi always did some shady things from time to time. He knew something about it, but he didn't expect it to be so big that even the helmsman beside him couldn't control it.

Facing Gong Chang Zhang Jiwei, Wan Dajin was afraid in his heart, but then he gritted his teeth.

"Every word I said is true, and I can find witnesses right away. Here are the letters between Elder Xi and me, which record many of the evil things he did. The handwriting cannot be faked, and we will know the truth once we check it out!"

As he said this, Wan Dajin waved his hand.

"I am a man of honor. I joined the Beggars' Sect because I admired its reputation for chivalry and for the righteousness in my heart!"

"But I was coerced by Elder Xi to do too many things against my will, and my conscience is suffering. Today, I no longer want to be in the same boat with this villain!"

Wan Dajin's face was full of righteousness!
This surprised Li Ming.

Did he add this scene himself?
I didn’t expect his acting skills to be so good. If I didn’t know the inside story, I would have been fooled by him.

Li Ming couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart.

But then he loosened his hand and let go of Elder Xi.

"How is it, two eminent monks? Elder Gong? You keep claiming to be the leaders of the righteous path, but how do you plan to deal with this matter now?"

"Or do you punish the wicked and punish the evildoers when facing outsiders, but go easy on your own people?"

As he spoke, Li Ming turned his gaze to Shan Zheng.

"Iron-faced Judge, don't you love to intervene in injustice? Tell me whether you will intervene in this matter or not?"

Having said that, Li Ming sat down again, not worrying at all about the other party taking action, and spoke loudly.

"If you guys want to come and fight, I'll accompany you. But before that, if you don't handle this matter clearly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the crowd." "The two great monks of Shaolin had to ask the Beggars' Sect to do some dirty work and drug the well of Li's martial arts hall before they dared to come together and bully the weak with their numbers. Is this the style of the world's largest sect? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it!"

Every word he said was clear, and his voice contained internal strength and could be heard far away.

In addition, the martial arts school deliberately left the door open, so everything that just happened was seen by the curious onlookers outside.

There were also many martial artists passing by among them.

Everything that happened was really too exciting. I just wanted to watch the fun, but I didn't expect it to be so much fun.

This immediately caused a frenzy of discussion among the crowd.

"My goodness, this Beggars' Sect uses the name of chivalry, but how many things have they done in private that angered the heavens and the people?"

"That's right, this is the first time I've seen someone who couldn't stand it and took the initiative to expose his own shame!"

"You come to my house, you challenge me openly, and you even poison my well? Is this something a reputable and upright family would do?"

"These two monks came here with the Beggars' Sect. If they say they don't know, who would believe them?"

"What's the difference between the biggest sect and the biggest gang, secretly poisoning, covering up scandals, and using the majority to bully the minority... What's the difference between this and evil ways?"

"Just wait and see. They will definitely get away with this. Who would argue with their own people?"

Listening to the discussions outside the door, Xuan Nan and Xuan Ji's faces changed.

It seems that this is not fake, but how embarrassing is it?

"Elder Xi, is what your gang leader Wan said really true?"

"I……"

Elder Xi opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he could only stare at Wan Dajin with murderous eyes.

When the two old monks saw his appearance, their hearts skipped a beat.

It's over, it looks like this is all true.

The key point is that there are so many people watching outside, and they can't get away with solving the problem privately.

Now he was trapped and couldn't do anything.

Otherwise, it would be a case of taking advantage of someone's misfortune and bullying the minority with the majority.

Things have gotten to this point now, and today's situation will soon spread throughout the world.

By then, both Shaolin and Beggars' Sect's reputation will be ruined!
Shan Zheng's face also looked unhappy. He felt the same way. Now that things had come to this, his reputation as an iron-faced judge might be affected.

But it’s okay for him to bully others normally, but what can he do when facing the elder of the Beggars’ Sect?
Finally, everyone's attention was focused on Gong Chang Zhang.

What I mean is that this is your own business as the Beggars' Sect, and you have to deal with it.

The expression on Gong Chang Zhang's face changed several times.

"Okay, this is due to the lax discipline within the Beggars' Sect, but the details still need to be investigated. I will seal the meridians of these two people and take them back for questioning. Once the facts are clarified and the results are out, I will give everyone an explanation! When the time comes, I will visit Master Li again."

Gong Chang Zhang said this, pointing at Elder Xi and Wan Dajin.

This scared Wan Dajin.

If he did something like this and was really taken back by Gong Chang Zhang, it would be uncertain whether he could come out alive.

Gong Chang Zhang's words immediately triggered another round of complaints from the onlookers.

"How dare he say that? Bring the people back, bring the evidence back. Isn't it them who have the final say on whether it is right or wrong?"

"We are really enlightened by the Beggars' Gang's working style."

Gong Chang Zhang pretended not to hear the discussions.

He had no choice. Elder Xi was his own man after all, and he couldn't judge him based on a few words in front of outsiders.

But when Li Ming heard this, disappointment flashed in his eyes.

I heard that although Gong Chang Zhang had a hot temper, he was a decent person. I didn't expect that he would protect his own people first at the critical moment.

"Since Elder Gong only helps his relatives and not the people, then there is no need to bother him. He is the first person to poison my martial arts gym. I will settle the account first."

Before he finished his words, the ghost hand condensed from true energy grabbed Elder Xi's neck.

"stop!"

Before he could stop it, a crisp sound was heard. Elder Xi's eyes widened and he died instantly.

"Be bold!"

Gong Chang Zhang was extremely angry, and raised his hand to use the Dragon Subduing Palm's move, "Kang Long You Hui". At the same time, the other two streams of true energy also struck at him like lightning.

It was Xuan Nan and Xuan Ji who took action.

Li Ming was not panicked at all when faced with attacks from three powerful forces.

His feet slipped and his body rushed out of the hall.

The three offensive forces immediately turned around and followed closely.

"Master Li, you are so rude and murderous. Do you really not take me seriously?"

Master Xuan Nan took the lead and after leaving the hall, he no longer held back, releasing his Grandmaster-level aura like an overwhelming force.

He had the experience just now, so he did not dare to take Li Ming lightly and attacked with all his strength.

Moreover, they were clearly trapped just now and had no reason to attack again. But Li Ming took the initiative to kill people, so they couldn't blame him.

Li Ming, who was using the Xiaoyao Yufeng body technique, suddenly felt his body tighten. The air around him seemed to solidify into substance in an instant, restricting his movement.

The next second, three attacks came whistling at them from different angles: the Dragon Subduing Palm, the Stele Smashing Hand, and the Formless Robbery Finger.
