Chapter 7: Xiaoyao Heart Sutra, Simulating the Martial Arts of the World

The situation seemed dangerous, and his whole body was covered by fist shadows, but Li Ming did not look panicked at all.

His body did not shake, and it seemed that he simply moved his feet and his body floated away as if it had no weight. It seemed that he was not moving fast, but he easily avoided the attack of the fist shadow.

"Good form!"

Bai Zhantang, who was good at martial arts, could not help but marvel at this. The movements were mysterious and free and easy, at least he had never seen anything like it before.

Wang Xianhu attacked continuously, stepping forward quickly, but each of his punches landed exactly in the empty space. Only the sound of dense punches breaking through the air was heard, but there was no feedback that the target was hit.

To outsiders, it seemed that Wang Xianhu was swinging his fists around with all his might, but Li Ming, on the other hand, was like a graceful young man, leisurely strolling among the fist shadows, completely unaffected.

The superiority of both sides is clear at a glance.

"He is actually in the post-natal realm!"

The head of Longmen Escort Agency has already noticed something is wrong, his eyes are solemn, he actually made a mistake just now!
In fact, it’s not that his vision is bad, but what Li Ming showed was indeed just the aura of Gang Realm. This was also an unexpected gain after he practiced the Xiaoyao Heart Sutra.

The Xiaoyao Heart Sutra inherits the Taoist characteristics of being invisible and traceless, and can easily conceal the true realm aura, making it impossible for others to see through it, unless there are special means of detection or the realm gap is too large.

Li Ming outwardly displays the strength of Gang Realm, but in fact he has already reached Houtian Realm.

This is also the reason why he dared to gamble. There is a gap in realm, and it is easy for him to control Wang Xianhu.

The punches were numerous but to no avail. Wang Xianhu became more and more frightened and gradually became angry and humiliated.

He roared: "Asshole, if you have the guts, don't hide, come and fight me head-on!"

As he spoke, Wang Xianhu's pace quickened, and he dodged and took the initiative to attack.

"That's what you said."

Li Ming suddenly stopped and stretched out his hands.

No one could see clearly what his hands were doing, but it seemed that suddenly, several ghost hands appeared around Wang Xianhu, as if many people were attacking him out of thin air.

Wang Xianhu's heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't stop his forward punch.

Suddenly, Wang Xianhu felt that many important acupoints on his wrist, elbow, shoulder blade, etc. were all grabbed, and the power of his fist dissipated instantly.

Before he could react, it seemed as if many ghost hands appeared, some in the shape of palms and some in the shape of claws, all attacking his body in different parts, which were exactly the parts that his old moves could not take into account.

Wang Xianhu's stance immediately loosened, he staggered, and dodged awkwardly.

"Flaws, your boxing skills are full of flaws."

Li Ming's voice came into his ears, and at the same time he fell heavily to the ground with a thud. All the strength in his body was dispersed, and there was a deep claw mark on his chest, which caused a burning pain.

Wang Xianhu's hair stood on end, he even sensed death just now!
He looked down, his eyes still filled with fear.

His seemingly ferocious punches were actually broken instantly by his opponent. Every move was tricky and ruthless, all attacking his flaws. If his opponent had not shown mercy, he would have had many opportunities to cripple him or even take his life in just one round of fighting!

What great hand skills!

Wang Xianhu realized that his boxing skills were completely crushed by his opponent. He fell to the ground with his breath stuck in his chest, and his face turned blue and red.

"Master!"

The disciples of Dacheng Martial Arts School were stunned for a moment before they reacted and rushed forward to surround Wang Xianhu and help him up.

For these disciples, the slap in the face came too suddenly. They were full of confidence and wanted to challenge the master just now, but now they were easily crushed.

The eyes they looked at Li Ming were full of fear.

The crowd was silent for a long time before they began to exclaim in surprise.

"I never knew Master Li was so powerful!"

"It wasn't like this the last few times. Could it be that he is hiding his true identity and deliberately concealing his strength?"

"The martial artist of Dacheng Martial Arts School didn't even have the strength to fight back in front of Master Li. This..."

"I didn't see anything clearly, and Wang Xianhu fell down!"

"Stop talking, just treat it as a big show. This time, Dacheng Martial Arts School is really embarrassed."

……

Ordinary people might just be there to watch the fun, but people from the Longmen Escort Agency and Bai Zhantang, who practiced martial arts, all had very serious expressions on their faces.

"Oh! We win, we win!"

Mo Xiaobei jumped high with excitement, breaking the somewhat stiff atmosphere, then reached out and took the silver that the escorts from Longmen Escort Agency had bet.

"This...I..."

Several escorts wanted to stop them, but they were speechless.

They wanted to deny it, but considering that Manager Tong was not far away, they all looked as if they had eaten bitter gourd. No matter how unwilling they were in their hearts, after hesitating for a long time, they could only swallow it and suffer in silence.

"It's all your fault. Why did you bet so much? It's two months' salary for me!"

"Can you blame me? Weren't you shouting more enthusiastically than me just now?"

"It's over. This trip was in vain."

Several porters from the Longmen Escort Agency complained with sad faces.

Here, Wang Xianhu finally stood up with the help of the disciples of Dacheng Martial Arts School, looking grim.

He almost couldn't stand, and many of the important points and joints in his body were still numb, painful and swollen.

But he didn't see Li Ming's moves clearly from beginning to end. They were different from ordinary grappling kung fu and bone-breaking kung fu. He was truly elusive like a ghost.

Wang Xianhu blushed and added, "Well, it turns out that Master Li is already a post-natal warrior. I admit defeat."

Li Ming glanced at him and said coldly, "Don't be stubborn. Even if we are at the same level, the boxing you learned is too scattered and full of flaws and contradictions. You can't win."

"you……"

Wang Xianhu pointed at Li Ming and was about to speak when he was interrupted.

"Master Li, you won, but you insisted on talking nonsense. I want to hear what's wrong with his boxing skills."

As he spoke, a man stepped out.

Everyone looked over.

"Brother Du?"

Tong Xiangyu looked at the person who was speaking, who was the leader of the Longmen Escort Agency. "My name is Du Dajin, and I am also from the Shaolin school. I have practiced this set of Luohan Fuhu Quan for more than 20 years. It was taught by my mentor, Master Xuanzhi, so I think I have mastered it."

Du Dajin?
Li Ming didn't expect that there would be someone who would show up and meddle in his affairs, and it was Dajin, a name that sounded familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Ming remembered.

Isn't he a character in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber? He is indeed the chief escort of the Longmen Escort Agency. In the original novel, he escorted the injured Yu Daying, one of the Seven Heroes of Wudang. However, he failed to complete the mission and was hastily given a box lunch in the end.

Rumor has it that Du Dajin, nicknamed the Many-Armed Bear, is also a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple. He may not be able to compare with those top masters, but in the eyes of ordinary warriors, he is already one of the best among the lay disciples of Shaolin to be able to become the chief escort of the Longmen Escort Agency and make a name for himself in the martial arts world.

I just heard Du Dajin continue to say: "Master Li just said a lot of disrespectful things about our martial arts. I would like to hear the reason. If you can't tell me, it means you are intentionally insulting my master. I'm afraid this matter won't be so easy to resolve."

Du Dajin did not hide the displeasure on his face when he spoke.

Wang Xianhu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Du Dajin in surprise: "You are Uncle Du!"

He was also a lay disciple of Shaolin, and Du Dajin was considered his model predecessor. When he was learning martial arts before, he never heard of Du Dajin's deeds.

When I saw my fellow students at this moment, I felt particularly close to them.

At the same time, he also guessed that the reason why Du Dajin was willing to speak out was that, on the one hand, Shaolin disciples attached great importance to the reputation of their master in the world and would not tolerate anyone slandering it.

On the other hand, it might also be out of friendship among fellow students that they wanted to help him step down.

Thinking of this, Wang Xianhu couldn't help but look at him with gratitude.

As soon as Du Dajin opened his mouth, the atmosphere at Longmen Escort Agency became serious.

Tong Xiangyu saw that the two sides were arguing for no apparent reason and was about to come out to mediate, but was stopped by Du Dajin with a wave of his hand.

Faced with questioning, Li Ming was not at all panicked.

He wasn't just talking nonsense.

After systematically improving his aptitude and foundation, his understanding and comprehension of martial arts have long surpassed that of ordinary people. Moreover, Li Ming is proficient in special top-level martial arts such as the Xiaoyao Heart Sutra and the Tianshan Zhemei Hand, so his vision is even more extraordinary.

In Du Dajin's eyes, the Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist, which represents the authentic Shaolin martial arts, is indeed full of loopholes in Li Ming's eyes.

In addition, Li Ming’s system mall also has a complete version of the Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist secret manual.

Just as I was about to speak, a system prompt popped up.

[Matching object detected: Du Dajin]

[Matched successfully, the martial arts with the highest degree of compatibility: Luohan Subduing Tiger Fist]

[Conditions for triggering the power transmission, Luohan Subduing Tiger Fist is 50% off for a limited time: attribute points, would you like to purchase it?]

"Ok?"

Li Ming was extremely surprised. Could it be that this Du Dajin could trigger hidden conditions?
Looking at the Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist secret book in the mall, it used to have 50 attribute points, but now it has been discounted to .

This was a benefit that came right to his doorstep, so Li Ming immediately chose to buy it.

[Successfully purchased Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist. 】

In an instant, a warm current surged into his mind, and the memory of Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist was transmitted into it.

For Li Ming now, this set of boxing techniques is not too difficult, but if he wants to fully master it, he either needs to study for a period of time or spend attribute points to upgrade it.

But at this time Li Ming had another way, which was his own Xiaoyao Heart Sutra!

As the general internal skill of all the Xiaoyao Sect's techniques, it naturally also includes the Xiaowuxiang Gong, which is invisible and formless, and can simulate the function of martial arts in the world!
At that time, Jiumozhi's imitation of the Flower Picking Finger with the Xiao Wuxiang Gong was able to deceive all the Shaolin monks, let alone Du Dajin.

In an instant, Li Ming had integrated the Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist he had mastered into the Tianshan Zhemei Hand.

"Head of the escort team."

Li Ming bowed to him confidently.

"What I just said is true. Everyone present here knows that my Qianming Martial Arts School has always been the most reasonable and will never exaggerate. If the chief escort leader is not convinced, you and I can fight each other with the Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist to see who is stronger."

"You also know the Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist?"

Du Dajin was surprised when he heard this and looked at Li Ming carefully.

Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist is a unique Shaolin skill. It needs to be practiced from the basics, and progressed step by step from Shaolin Fist to Weituo Palm, etc., before success can be achieved.

Li Ming looks like a young man, and no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like he has practiced Shaolin external martial arts.

"Well, since Master Li has spoken, I will see for myself. However, if Master Li loses, the agreement between you and Dacheng Martial Arts School will be cancelled, and you must bow to the Shaolin disciples and admit your mistakes."

"no problem."

Li Ming agreed readily.

"That's offending!"

Before Du Dajin finished speaking, he rushed out like a tiger out of a cage, and most people didn't react in time.

At the same time, overwhelming fist shadows were rushing towards them.

It’s the same boxing technique as Wang Xianhu’s, but the power unleashed by this acquired martial artist is completely different!
If Wang Xianhu's punches were like raindrops, then Du Dajin was like a flood that opened its gates, drowning Li Ming with its might.

Du Dajin saw that Li Ming's physical skills were quite strong, so he squeezed out his space for dodging.

Even Li Ming felt his whole body tense up.

But the next moment, Li Ming took up his stance, and his free and easy internal force surged out from his fist, instantly transforming into authentic Shaolin Xuanmen true energy filled with fierce momentum. His power rose rapidly, and it actually broke through and overwhelmed Du Dajin's momentum!

Facing Du Dajin's fist, Li Ming only took one step forward: "Vajra's angry eyes!"

Accompanied by a loud blast of fist wind, it hit the weak point of Du Dajin's fist, and the fist shadows in the sky dissipated in an instant.

"boom!"

Du Dajin, who was rushing forward, suddenly stopped and was knocked backwards by a punch with his feet flat on the ground!

"This, how is this possible!"

Du Dajin, the chief escort of Longmen Escort Agency, changed his expression.

What Li Ming used was actually the Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist, which was strong and powerful yet had a bit of toughness and flexibility. It seemed that the opponent's internal force was the most positive Shaolin internal energy!
When his fist was thrown, it was like a furious Vajra appearing!
In comparison, his seemingly ferocious boxing skills immediately turned into an impatient and chaotic wild fox Zen.

This boxing style is so right, so authentic, better than my own... no, even more authentic than my master, Master Xuanzhi!

A voice kept echoing in Du Dajin's mind: "How... is this possible?"
