Gu Wuji watched as the young man approached, the earth beneath his feet trembling without cease, while in his heart he felt a surge of hostility so intense it seemed to choke him, engulfing him like a storm.

In an instant, all disciples of the True Gang Sect felt their breathing become labored.

The aura of the newcomer was overpoweringly strong.

"Refining Internal!" Gu Wuji spat out two words, and at the same time, his voice thundered like a clap of thunder, neutralizing Xu Qing’s momentum.

The disciples of the True Gang Sect who had previously boasted so boldly now fell silent, their faces filled with shock.

Gu Wuji spoke while also regulating his breath, his palms crossed and his body formed a bow shape as he stepped back.

The classic energy-release of a bowstring!

Then, his body lifted into a terrifying whirlwind, charging directly towards Xu Qing.

With this charged strike of his, it was hardly inferior even compared to the Daoist’s Frog Hooking Strength.

Unexpectedly, just as the young man in front seemed about to be hit by the attack, he suddenly sidestepped.

Like Shrinking Ground to Inches, he avoided Gu Wuji by half a foot.

"Eight Diagrams Step."

Gu Wuji immediately recognized the origin of Xu Qing’s steps.

This movement technique, acquired from "The Book of Changes," starts easy then progresses to difficulties, capable of endless practice, and can even advance into the legendary Yu Step.

In today’s world, the Temple Master of Chaotian Temple had managed to cultivate the Yu Step, capable of invoking Thunder Sound with every gesture, radiating Heavenly Power, indisputably ranked as one of the top five elders and immortals of the Dao, elevating Chaotian Temple from a minor Daoist institution to an existence on par with the holy lands of the Dao, all thanks to the prestige of the State Preceptor at the court.

Pupu pupu!

Xu Qing passed by with missteps and struck three consecutive palms.

A layer of golden light flashed over his palms, and there was a sense of formidable toughness.

In this moment, Gu Wuji felt an extremely dreadful danger.

He was after all a contemporary grandmaster of Refining Internal, not to be underestimated. In the blink of an eye, he employed Shadow Shifting, attempting to dodge Xu Qing’s palm power.

However, Xu Qing’s forceful palm wind, following his Eight Diagrams Step like a shadow, kept chasing after him.

Moreover, within Xu Qing’s steps, the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound thrummed, and the palm power did not diminish despite missing its target.

This was because Xu Qing had early on understood the martial principle that the overambitious dragon will regret, preparing reserves of energy with each palm strike, accumulating layer by layer, like the Yangtze River Triple Waves.

Simultaneously, as Xu Qing’s Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound rang out, Gu Wuji had no more doubts about Xu Qing’s identity as a disciple of Golden Ray Monastery. How vast is the world, aside from Great Zen Temple, only the Golden Ray Monastery holds the authentic method of the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist. With the emergence of the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, combined with the opponent’s previous words, who else could it be but a disciple from Golden Ray Monastery?

After all, he was the Sect Leader of True Gang Sect, in possession of extraordinary Absolute Skills.

Seeing that there was no escape, Gu Wuji struck back with a palm.

With this palm strike, his Qi-Blood erupted, the springing power of his arm muscles shattered even his own sleeves, and simultaneously, a muffled thunderous noise erupted, as swift as lightning, clashing hard against Xu Qing’s palm power.

This sudden outburst was precisely the Absolute Skill of True Gang Sect, the Heavenly Gang Wuji Skill.

It was Gu Wuji’s ace up the sleeve, originally reserved for facing Yan Kong’s Great Vajra Palm, but now, to his surprise, he was forced to use it ahead of time in this small courtyard.

Boom!

Dust billowed.

Xu Qing and Gu Wuji each took three steps back.

Xu Qing exhaled a fierce breath tinged with the scent of blood, clearly indicating he had been injured.

Gu Wuji’s expression remained unchanged, and he said to Xu Qing: "Among the young generation in the world today, there are fewer than ten who can withstand three palms from me; you should be proud."

After finishing his words, he said to the True Gang Sect disciples, "Let’s go."

Seeing that Xu Qing had sustained some injuries but had truly withstood three palms from their sect leader, the disciples of True Gang Sect heeded the order and left the courtyard without daring to continue their bravado, to avoid Xu Qing’s wrath.

"How are you?" Feng Wu quickly came over with concern, carrying the Secret Medicine from Elder Dan Xi for treating internal injuries.

Xu Qing shook his head, "I’m fine. If I hadn’t skipped a meal, how could I have let him walk away so easily."

Feng Wu let out a giggle.

Xu Qing: "..."

He wasn’t lying. His journey back was leisurely, enjoying the autumnal sights, without the previous urgency.

Aside from taking an Elixir once to replenish his strength and Qi-Blood, as well as drinking water, he hadn’t eaten much.

This was a part of fasting to cleanse the internal organs, a practice of health preservation.

Therefore, after arriving at Yingtian Prefecture, his Qi-Blood and strength were both somewhat below their peak.

But Gu Wuji was also formidable, as Xu Qing initially stole the upper hand, still managed to wrench back the disadvantage.

Elder Dan Xi spoke from the sidelines: "Mr. Xu is in better shape than Gu Wuji; he regulated his breathing and circulated his Qi-Blood immediately, not allowing any hidden injuries."

"Does that mean Gu Wuji was just forcing himself just now?" Feng Wu looked curious.

Xu Qing nodded; his medical knowledge wasn’t bad either, and he naturally noticed this point, chuckling, "If he had, like me, spat out a breath of blood, he probably would have been fine."

"And now?"

"He’ll have to spit out a mouthful of blood and rest for two to three days at least."

Hearing this, Feng Wu couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She said to Fayue, "Brother Gongming has avenged Master Fayue for you."

With a helpless expression, Fayue said, "So Miss Feng, since Mr. Xu doesn’t need this medicine, why not let me have it?"

He was barely holding back the urge to spit out another mouthful of blood, feeling utterly deflated.

No one cared about him, the actual injured party.

"Oh, I’m so sorry, I forgot." Feng Wu hastily handed over the healing medicine.

Xu Qing and Elder Dan Xi, among others, all smiled.

The courtyard, which had just been overshadowed by the arrival of the True Gang Sect, was now clear once more.

Afterwards, Xu Qing planned to use the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound to help Fayue purge and circulate his blood, along with Elder Dan Xi’s medicine, to ensure no lingering injuries remained.
