Before he had time to recover,

Xu Qing stepped forward with the Eight Diagrams Body Technique, arriving in close range in the blink of an eye.

Like the bellow of a bull, it was as though spring thunder had exploded.

This was the "Beng Fist," a skill Xu Qing himself had developed by combining the Bull Demon Strength Fist with the Eight Diagrams Body Technique.

"How hard and unyielding his Bright Strength is," Elder Tang exclaimed in his heart.

She dodged with the Spirit Snake Body Technique.

But Xu Qing was young and strong, his punches fast and fierce.

Although Elder Tang managed to dodge with her Spirit Snake Body Technique, Xu Qing still landed a hit on her shoulder.

In an instant, her scapula was shattered.

Fortunately, it wasn’t the shoulder that held her walking stick.

Still, Elder Tang was a Divine Soul Expert and forcefully suppressed the intense pain, abandoning the thought of dodging further. Her snakehead cane pointed a death blow towards Xu Qing’s face.

It was like a spirit snake spitting venom, and in an instant, a burst of black needles shot out from the snakehead.

The Black Blood Divine Needle!

This was the hidden weapon Elder Tang had used to roam the worldly society, with poison that acted extremely fast, capable of killing even a bull on the spot.

Xu Qing was already in a state of Absolute Focus, and had been on guard against her snakehead cane. As Elder Tang made her move, Xu Qing already employed the Eight Diagrams Body Technique, stepping to the side and instantly appearing behind Elder Tang. His hands transformed into tiger claws, reaching for the vital points around Elder Tang’s waist.

Elder Tang’s poison needles missed, and she struck with her cane at an incredible angle towards Xu Qing’s waist. Luckily, Xu Qing was wearing chain armor, and with his tough skin and flesh, he managed to withstand the blow.

Meanwhile, as Xu Qing grasped the vital points at Elder Tang’s waist, she broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. Before Elder Tang could counterattack, Xu Qing’s knee thrust forward, striking right at the critical ’Huiyin’ acupoint.

Elder Tang’s gathered Qi-Blood dispersed immediately.

Xu Qing, with his towering stature, then let go and hammered his elbow towards the temple of Elder Tang.

He remembered the incident of Su Lianqing wearing the Heart Protector mirror, so the final blow was aimed at the unprotected temple.

After the heavy impact, how could Elder Tang, a person over fifty, withstand the elbow strike of a young man? She died instantly.

As her Divine Soul attempted to escape, it was pierced through by the Yaksha King’s steel trident.

As the Divine Soul weakened visibly with the decay of the physical body, impaled by the Yaksha King’s trident, it was on the verge of dissipation.

Meanwhile, Fayue began to recite the Soul-stealing spell, accompanying the Yaksha King as he repeatedly stabbed hard with the trident, and the Divine Soul of a cult elder soon collapsed.

Xu Qing wasn’t completely at ease; he first moved away from Elder Tang’s corpse to the corner of the courtyard and covered his nose with his sleeve.

He knew that this person was adept with poison, and had completed the previous heavy strikes while holding his breath, fearing contamination. It was not until the situation in the courtyard was set and Households Commander Zuo from the Inner Factory had already entered the yard, capturing the Lotus Sect experts who tried to escape using the poison smoke, that Xu Qing finally let his guard down, supporting his knees with his hands and gasping for air.

When Households Commander Zuo arrived, he had already seen Xu Qing’s martial arts and praised him, saying, "Mr. Xu, the young scholar, is indeed impressive, truly the ’Jiangning Fierce Tiger.’"

He had learned Inner Family Fist from the Martial Arts Academy of Laoshan Shangqing Palace. With his martial skills already mastering the Dark Strength, and his perceptive vision, he questioned himself, feeling that at Xu Qing’s age, he didn’t even possess half of the latter’s strength.

"A first-rate expert looks at talent, but a true martial arts master looks at both talent and Comprehension. This young man has excellent scholarly achievements, so naturally his Comprehension is not bad. Moreover, with such a young age, given time, he is certain to have the opportunity to become a martial arts master of his generation."

Nowadays, the Emperor favors Daoism, and Households Commander Zuo, originating from Laoshan Shangqing Palace, though not of the orthodox Daoist lineage, still received support from the Daoist factions within the court. He had secured his position in the Inner Factory, thus he could serve in the wealthy land of Southeast.

He was somewhat righteous by nature, liked to associate with scholars in the court, and on seeing Xu Qing, a scholar who had undergone martial arts training, he couldn’t help but take a liking to him.

After all, as a practitioner of martial arts, Xu Qing would surely not despise him as a rough and unrefined military man.

Xu Qing also felt a favorable impression towards Households Commander Zuo.

For no other reason, the previous nicknames assigned to him by those around him were either the treacherous ’Timely Rain’ or the ominous ’Fledgling Phoenix’. In contrast, ’Jiangning Fierce Tiger’ seemed relatively normal.

Well, only relatively normal.

Xu Qing thought of "Sun Wentai, the Fierce Tiger of Jiangdong," and seemed to recall that his end was not a good one either.

Forget it, at least the man had two distinguished sons and lived as a feudal lord while alive!

Next, of course, was the tally of personnel.

This time, there were a few Hall Masters from the Lotus Sect present, with formidable martial skills. Despite the collaboration of the martial monks, two were injured and disabled, thankfully without any loss of life.

However, after being disabled, their martial skills would be greatly diminished, and for the rest of their lives, their movements would be impaired, no match for how they were before.

Xu Qing immediately promised that if the injured martial monks were willing to leave the monastic life, he would arrange idle jobs for them in Yihe Hall, such as becoming instructors, teaching orphans adopted by Yihe Hall martial arts training, and providing for them continuously.

He would also try to sponsor them for a supervisory position.

A supervisor was a title obtained by donation, which granted the status of a supervisory student.
