Chapter 9 Qingyun Gym
Qingyun Taoist Temple is extremely famous in Lanyang County.

He taught martial arts, preached and learned, and over the past hundred years, he had many students and a network of contacts that was extremely impressive.

Inside the dojo, in the martial arts arena.

The marble floor reflected the white light, and four bright red weapon racks stood in the four directions.

In the center is an arena.

Bang bang bang!
On the ring, two sturdy men in white clothes were fighting, using their skills back and forth.

The collision of fists and feet was like the sound of beating drums.

Below the ring, there was a circle of apprentices.

Everyone looked at the 'senior brothers' competing on the stage with envy. Seeing the two men moving around majestically, they also imagined that they could practice this kind of kung fu.

Not far away, two people were sitting cross-legged and drinking tea.

With a smile on his face, he watched these students practicing martial arts and exchanging experiences. He felt even more satisfied when he saw the atmosphere becoming more and more lively.

"Brother Li, your Qingyun Dojo is truly worthy of its reputation!"

Sun Meng raised his hand to offer tea, looked at the two people on the stage, and sighed:
"Your two disciples are very skilled in martial arts, and their moves are well connected. They may be able to break through the dark energy in a short time. Brother Li is also very talented, and the transformation energy is also within reach."

"In the future, I will still count on you, Brother Li, to take care of me in Lan Yang!"

Among the many forces in the martial arts world in Lanyang County, Qingyun Dojo is the most prosperous. Not only does it have a steady stream of apprentices, it also has several proud disciples who have mastered the art of Ming Jin.

The owner of the hall, Li Liang, has even more advanced hidden power.

He is one of the best masters in the entire Lanyang County and has never been defeated in many years.

If he could break through to the level of Hua Jin and then unite with the master behind him to increase his influence, the Qingyun Dojo might be the one that has the final say in the martial arts world of Lanyang County.

It was truly at its peak.

"Brother Sun, thank you for the compliment."

Li Liang smiled calmly, offered tea as well, and said politely:

"My Qingyun Dojo cannot afford such great praise. These two useless disciples are still far from being good enough in martial arts and cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility. Brother Sun, I will need your support in the future!"

Having said that, Li Liang still felt a little proud.

Just as Sun Meng said, Qingyun Dojo does have a promising future, not to mention that he has the support of his master behind him, so he has nothing to worry about and just needs to develop as he wishes.

boom!
Suddenly, the closed door of the martial arts arena opened.

A sturdy young man in white shirt, about twenty-five or twenty-six, rushed in and came to Li Liang, panting.

"Master, yes, someone is challenging us!"

The young man spoke each word with a nervous expression.

"Why are you so flustered? I think it's just some nobody trying to gain fame from this. It's nothing to worry about."

Li Liang frowned, a look of displeasure flashing across his mind.

Everything was going well for him just now, but he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye. Someone came to challenge him, and what made him even more infuriating was that his disciple lost his composure, which made him feel ashamed.

After taking a deep look at the young man, Li Liang said calmly:
"Who is challenging the sect? Which sect?"

Sun Meng on the side was also curious.

The Qingyun Dojo is one of the most powerful underworld forces in Lanyang County, and Li Liang is a master of the dark energy level, with a chance of breaking through to the transformation energy level. Which disciple is so bold as to come and cause trouble?

To challenge someone is to look for trouble.

This common sense has been passed down in the martial arts world for countless years. From a small store to large factions in the north and south, the fighting between factions has never subsided.

People tend to be aggressive when they have military power. This has been the case since ancient times.

"Master, I don't know. The man is not very old, only about 20 years old. He said he does not have a sect. We only know his name is Zhou Yan. He seems to be a master of the dark energy level!"

The young man said with an uncertain look on his face.

He had seen the gym owner in action, so he had a certain degree of understanding of the methods used by dark energy warriors. Just now, one of his fellow apprentices had a hot temper and attacked too quickly, so he was injured by the master's move.

That method is very similar to that of the museum owner.

"A dark energy warrior? Coming to challenge?"

Li Liang was confused and doubtful, and somewhat unbelieving.

He has more or less had some interactions with dark force warriors in Lanyang County and even in the surrounding areas. Who is this Zhou Yan?

Also, he has no school or sect, but he has mastered the hidden power in his twenties, and then he comes here specifically to challenge others?
What do you think of as a dark energy warrior?
Without a master, it is difficult to even get started with the most basic boxing stances, let alone develop strength, master various power changes, and become a martial arts master from the obvious to the hidden!
For a moment, Li Liang looked at the young man with a strange look in his eyes.

"Maybe he is right?"

When the young man was about to explain, a voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the three people, with a hint of ridicule, and slowly dissipated.

"who!"

Li Liang was startled and reacted first. He rolled up his sleeves and stood up instantly. His whole body tensed up, his face turned ashen, and he looked towards the source of the sound.

Who on earth could get close to him quietly?
Sun Meng was a step slower. His body stiffened for a moment before he reacted. He swung his palm towards the table and pushed it, using the force to create some distance.

The sturdy young man also reacted at this time.

But a hand appeared on his shoulder at some point, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move at all. He noticed the eyes of the inn owner and his guests were looking at him.

My heartbeat stopped and cold sweat broke out.

"Which sect or school are you from? Why are you acting like this? You come to my house and attack my disciples. You have no moral principles?"

Li Liang looked cold and said in a cold voice.

At this time, the two people fighting on the ring also noticed something was wrong, and rushed over with the apprentices who were watching, surrounded the man behind the burly young man, with unfriendly looks on their faces.

This was the first time they encountered a challenge.

"No martial ethics?"

Zhou Yan held the young man with one hand, smiling:

"Since you've come to challenge me, what's the point of talking about martial ethics?"

Looking around, he saw many apprentices, about thirty of them had practiced martial arts, but not many of them had achieved great success, and only two of them had mastered Ming Jin, which disappointed him a little.

And the dark power...

Zhou Yan looked at Sun Meng with a little surprise. He didn't expect that when he came here to "challenge", he happened to meet someone visiting Li Liang, who was a master, and he encountered two people with hidden power at once.

But it’s just right.

When martial artists fight, it is best to fight with those of similar skill levels, as they can often gain the best experience and inspiration from such fights. In martial arts, there are three ways to practice strength: first, use dead objects to practice strength; second, pay someone to practice with you; and third, which is the most effective, is to keep fighting with martial artists to inspire inspiration.

If he fights with the two dark force warriors at the same time, Zhou Yan is sure that he will not die, and he may even comprehend the deeper secrets of force.

But unfortunately, from just a brief observation, Zhou Yan knew that this dark force warrior might not be willing to participate.

call!
Li Liang let out a long sigh, clenched his fists, and said coldly: "Breaking the rules, you are seeking death."

He waved his hand, signaling the apprentice to stay away.

The two Ming Jin disciples who were sparring just now stayed, wanting to watch the fight up close and try to comprehend the secret of An Jin from it. Sun Meng's eyes flashed twice, and he also stayed.

His intuition told him that there was something fishy about this matter.

"I don't know who you are, but you dare to come to Qingyun Dojo to cause trouble. Maybe you really have some kung fu skills.

but……"

Li Liang took a deep breath, and his anger gradually grew:
"I'll make you regret coming here!"

When opening a martial arts school, competing for influence and students, and comparing levels of success often depend on how you deal with those who challenge you.

If you are not ruthless, others will think you are easy to bully and cowardly, and students will think you are not good at martial arts and will not want to learn from you. Then you will not be able to collect tuition fees and build up your network.

Li Liang has been in charge of Qingyun Taoist Temple for more than ten years.

Among them, there are all kinds of dirty tricks, what have you not seen? In the end, it all comes down to one word: cruel.

"I haven't made any move in a few years. It seems that everyone looks down on me..."

Li Liang stretched his muscles, his face cold.

Zhou Yan smiled but said nothing.

For a moment, dozens of apprentices and onlookers all fell silent, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly in the entire training ground.

One call,
Take a puff.

boom!
boom!
Almost at the same time, Zhou Yan and Li Liang attacked together.

The two men attacked separately, not caring about the venue. With a step of their feet, the bricks and stones cracked, and with tremendous force, they rose up from the ground, mobilizing the strength of their muscles and bones, and attacked separately!

"good chance!"

Li Liang stepped out, his figure as ethereal as a crane, and approached Zhou Yan quickly with some strange steps.

Although his body is light, his punches are extremely powerful.

Almost in the blink of an eye, his shoulders and arms had completed the contraction movement, and in coordination with his previous breathing, the hidden power was emitted through his arms and struck towards Zhou Yan's head!

When warriors compete and fight, there are bound to be casualties.

The Li Liang family is wealthy and powerful, and the Qingyun Taoist Temple has been passed down for hundreds of years. Killing someone is not a big deal.

“Pine Crane Step, Wandering Footwork, Danyang Fist, taken from the Pure Yang One Red Dot, is extremely powerful, extremely strong and extremely yang.

really……"

Even with the wind of the fist hitting him in the face, Zhou Yan remained calm and pointed out Li Liang's martial arts style word by word before counterattacking.

"But unfortunately, you seem to have forgotten how warriors fight..."

Zhou Yan had a look of disappointment on his face. He could tell at a glance that Li Liang was in bad condition. He hadn't really fought for a long time, so his moves were a little clumsy.

Despite this, Zhou Yan did not stop.

Since you can't count on gaining experience through fighting, one way is to start with cheats.

Zhou Yan seemed to take a casual step, with one arm pulling his body, sliding in the air flow like a snake, seemingly trying to overcome hardness with softness, transfer strength, and then make changes.

But when the fist reached his body, his posture suddenly changed.

Step forward and lift your waist.

Concentrate your mind and use your strength.

The originally feminine posture was transformed into a violent posture, with fists and palms kicking back, elbows in front of the body, and a step forward, like a thunderous explosion, rushing head-on!
boom!
As his strength was stretched out, a large amount of airflow was forcibly knocked away by Zhou Yan, causing a whistling sound like the wind!

"This is!"

Li Liang's face changed and his pupils shrank.

Boom!

Two sounds were heard one after another.

Li Liang was unable to react to the first punch and elbow strike and felt his hand bones being broken.

Before the second sound came, Li Liang reacted quickly, moving his hidden energy around his arms, shoulder bones and other areas to reduce the force, and was then knocked away by Zhou Yan's elbow.

"This is Xingyi, the elbow strike of the bear. And who is this person, and why is his physique so strong?"

Sun Meng, who was watching the fight on the side, opened his eyes wide and was shocked to see Li Liang being knocked nearly ten meters away. He then shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

Li Liang is finished.

Among all kinds of boxing techniques, elbow strike is the most powerful.

Being hit by this elbow, his internal organs must have been damaged. It is unknown how long it will take to heal the injury, and so much time has been wasted, and his peak period has been reached.

I'm afraid there's no hope of achieving enlightenment in the future.

After this, whether it was the power behind the man who mastered Xingyi or the Songhe Sword School behind the Qingyun Dojo, it was all their fight.

Li Liang was already defeated and could not withstand a single blow.

There is no possibility of rising again.

Looking at the apprentices around him, disappointment was evident in their eyes. The disciples who were knowledgeable and had practiced martial arts were terrified, but they dared not say a word and could only support them from the side.

Who could have imagined that this challenger was only in his twenties, yet could have truly cultivated the hidden power and defeated Li Liang, who was at the same level and had been famous for a long time, with just one strike?

Isn't this a fantasy?
Several disciples who knew kung fu and had developed strong strength were a little confused. Their brains became dull and they were unable to understand what was going on.

All the various situations at the time are displayed here.

"Good skills, I can't match you!"

Sun Meng's eyes were indifferent, and he never looked at Li Liang again. He bowed to Zhou Yan from a distance to show his respect, and then retreated.

"The sky in Lanyang is about to change..."
