"What... what kind of secret technique is this? Why is it so fierce and overbearing?"
The Shaolin Patriarch Miaozhen's face was filled with shock. Not only had his Demon Subduing Whip been shattered, but the force transmitted had also sent him flying. His internal organs had suffered tremors. This was too terrifying.
"Secret technique? For you to be centenarians, it's surprising you are still so ignorant. Have you ever seen such a powerful secret technique?"
Xiao Yunlong sneered coldly, standing tall on the mountaintop, his gaze filled with disdain.
"If it's not a secret technique, could it be that your martial cultivation has surpassed ours? This is impossible. The three of us have cultivated for seventy to eighty years to reach our current realm. How old are you, kid? It's absolutely impossible!"
The Shaolin Patriarch Miaozhen shook his head repeatedly.
"The three of us painstakingly cultivated to the Innate Aperture Opening Realm and refined Innate True Qi. For you to want to surpass us and enter the legendary Innate Origin Returning Realm, you wouldn't be able to achieve it even if you started cultivating in the womb!"
The Wudang Sect Patriarch Liaofan Zhenjun, not far away, also said in a deep voice.
"If you ask me, this kid must have taken some secret medicine to forcibly boost his aura and cultivation. As far as I know, some ancient martial sects in the Western Regions had such secret medicines last century. So, we have nothing to worry about. With the three of us joining forces, this kid is bound to die today!"
The Celestial Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain let out a cold snort and lunged forward again. His silver treasure sword had already been broken into two pieces and was unusable.
At this moment, he was employing the ultimate technique of Longhu Mountain, the Dragon Subduing Tiger Taming Fist. He struck towards Xiao Yunlong with a punch.
After all, he was a super expert in the Innate Aperture Opening Realm who had cultivated Innate True Qi. As Celestial Master Zhang unleashed his punch, true qi left his body and was interpreted through the boxing technique. Involuntarily, there was a dragon and tiger aura before his fist, and the power was truly terrifying.
Xiao Yunlong didn't even look. He directly met the punch head-on.
However, at this very moment, the Wudang Sect's Liaofan Zhenjun also employed the Eight Trigrams Swimming Dragon Palm technique, his palm strike carrying world-shattering power, coming from the side.
Xiao Yunlong, without even thinking, struck back with a palm, meeting it head-on.
Instantly, two booming sounds erupted, like thunder from a clear sky. Even the disciples of the three major sects on the other side of the valley, separated by a mountain valley, felt their eardrums ache.
Even though he was facing two opponents, in terms of pure internal energy confrontation, Xiao Yunlong did not fall into a disadvantage. He countered Celestial Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain with a punch and clashed palms with Wudang Sect's Liaofan Zhenjun. No matter how much force these two old ancestors exerted, he remained as steady as a mountain, unmoving.
"Quick, this kid is being held back by us. Hurry up and kill him!"
Celestial Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain roared. At this moment, with their fists locked, even facing two opponents, he was struggling. Because no matter how much force he exerted, even if he mobilized all the Innate True Qi within his body, he could not shake the opponent in the slightest.
At this moment, these two old ancestors couldn't help but feel as if the person before them was an unshakeable mountain, and at the same time, a bottomless abyss. This feeling made them utterly powerless.
Seeing this, the Shaolin Patriarch Miaozhen, not far away, did not hesitate. He extended his right index and middle fingers and pointed them directly at Xiao Yunlong's back.
It seemed that he was employing Shaolin's ultimate technique, the Great Strength Vajra Finger. The Vajra Finger itself was already extremely strong and domineering. When unleashed with Innate True Qi, its power was even more terrifying.
Let alone the physical body, even a mountain in front of him could probably be pierced by these two Great Strength Vajra Fingers.
As the Shaolin Patriarch's two fingers were about to reach Xiao Yunlong's back, Xiao Yunlong remained motionless, still locked in an internal energy confrontation with the other two sect ancestors.
From the side of the valley, it seemed as if Xiao Yunlong was completely restrained by the two old ancestors of Longhu Mountain and Wudang Sect, unable to move.
After all, this internal energy confrontation was no trivial matter. Once engaged, unless one party was far superior to the other, it would enter a stalemate and be unable to break free.
"Master..."
Seeing this, Zhuque, the Vermilion Bird General, Nangong Qingzhu, on the opposite side of the valley, couldn't help but shout anxiously. She could no longer care about anything and leaped down the valley, wanting to rush over to help.
The other three generals, seeing this, could not afford to hesitate any longer and followed suit. However, with their current cultivation of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown King Realm, they could not possibly cross the valley to the mountaintop on the opposite side. They could only rush down the valley and then fly up.
The disciples of the three major sects at the edge of the cliff couldn't help but laugh out loud when they saw this.
"This Xiao kid is truly overestimating himself, daring to compete in internal energy cultivation with the three Grand Ancestors. Isn't this seeking his own death!"
"Simply foolish to the extreme. This Xiao kid is bound to die this time!"
Numerous disciples of ancient martial sects discussed and sneered mockingly, including Zhang Quanche, who was among the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, the Shaolin Patriarch Miaozhen's Great Strength Vajra Finger had already reached Xiao Yunlong's back.
Xiao Yunlong still didn't move, appearing to be completely unable to attend to anything else. However, at this moment, the corners of his mouth had already curled up slightly, revealing a mocking expression.
"Three Thousand Divine Kingdoms, Open!"
Xiao Yunlong snorted coldly in his heart and activated the two divine kingdoms within his body again. Instantly, a vast and powerful, yet unique, divine kingdom force erupted.
Boom...
The divine kingdom force, like an overwhelming tide, forcefully repelled the three sect ancestors. Even Patriarch Miaozhen, who had unleashed the Great Strength Vajra Finger from behind, was blown away by Xiao Yunlong's invincible divine kingdom force.
As they flew backward, the three sect ancestors all spat out mouthfuls of old blood and finally staggered and fell to the ground. Their faces were as pale as paper, and their auras were extremely chaotic and weak.
Judging by their appearance, these three sect ancestors had clearly suffered heavy injuries, and their internal organs had even been displaced. In a short period, they had lost their combat effectiveness.
On the other hand, Xiao Yunlong still stood firmly in place, unshakeable like a mountain. His aura remained steady and continuous.
Even when facing the combined might of the three sect ancestors, he was still unharmed!
The disciples of the sects on the opposite side of the valley, who had been discussing excitedly moments ago, all fell silent. Their eyes were wide with disbelief.
"Am I seeing things? The three sect ancestors were repelled. Were they defeated? Or is there something wrong with my eyes?" someone exclaimed.
"It can't be that all of us have problems with our eyes. The three sect ancestors were indeed defeated, blown away and knocked to the ground by that Xiao kid in an instant. This is too terrifying. What level has Xiao Yunlong's martial cultivation reached?"
"You ask me, who do I ask? But you might not know, it is said that this Xiao Yunlong is the King of Zhenbei of our Dragon Country? How could he be an ordinary person?"
"Hush... it is also said that everyone knows this. However, your sect leaders have not issued any orders. Today is the Martial Arts讨伐大会 (Tǎofá Dàhuì - Martial Arts Crusade Conference). We are only discussing martial arts identities and are absolutely not allowed to mention the King of Bei or King of Nan!"
Numerous sect disciples stirred, and even the sect leaders, mountain masters, and abbots of the three major sects were stunned and stood frozen, unsure how to react.
Zhang Quanche, seeing that the situation was not good, quietly retreated without anyone noticing. He finally left the square completely and fled down the mountain along the mountain path.
"Damn Xiao Yunlong, I didn't expect you to be so strong that even the three sect ancestors couldn't defeat you. I can't stay in Jiangdong anymore, and I certainly can't go to Longhu Mountain. This Martial Arts Crusade Conference was instigated by me. It's possible that those guys from Longhu Mountain will expose me to protect themselves. What a pity, what a lamentable situation. In this vast world, there is no place for Zhang Quanche!"
Zhang Quanche gritted his teeth as he fled. Suddenly, he had an idea. "Right, I'll go back to the Eastern Region headquarters and seek refuge under the Great Commander. With his protection, I believe even that dog, Xiao Yunlong, the King of Zhenbei, wouldn't dare to do anything to me!"
With that, Zhang Quanche's figure completely disappeared on the mountain path.
At this time, Zhuque, the Vermilion Bird General, had also rushed all the way to the mountaintop on the opposite side along the ancient path.
"Master, Master, are you alright?" Zhuque General Nangong Qingzhu's face was full of worry. She had almost rushed into Xiao Yunlong's arms as she ran.
Xiao Yunlong steadied her with a hand and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
"You're really fine? Do you have any internal injuries?" Nangong Qingzhu's face still showed unconcealed worry.
"I'm really fine!"
Xiao Yunlong skillfully avoided Nangong Qingzhu's hand, which was reaching out to examine him, and then walked towards the three sect ancestors still lying on the ground.
"The three of you, do you have anything else to say?" Xiao Yunlong looked down at the three, speaking word by word.
"Since we are not your match, what can defeated subordinates say!" the Wudang Sect's Liaofan Zhenjun shouted, his face revealing a trace of unwillingness.
"Since there's nothing to say, then I'll send you on your way!"
Xiao Yunlong's gaze sharpened, and killing intent erupted from his eyes.
"Wait, Xiao kid, do you intend to kill us? Do you dare to kill us?" The Celestial Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain shouted in disbelief.
Xiao Yunlong couldn't help but laugh out loud, his laughter filled with mockery and sarcasm. He let out a heavy cold snort, "Old man, on what grounds do you think I don't dare to kill you?"
"We are sect ancestors, experts in the Innate Aperture Opening Realm. Not only in our own sects, but even in the entire Dragon Country's martial arts world, we are influential figures. If you kill the three of us today, aren't you afraid of causing a stir in the martial arts world and triggering a catastrophe?" the Celestial Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain roared.
"That's right, Lord Xiao Yunlong, you'd better think clearly. The three of us are also well-known figures in the martial arts world, and we know many martial arts friends. If you dare to lay a hand on us today, it will inevitably cause a martial arts catastrophe. By then, even if your identity is not simple, you will surely die!" the Wudang Sect's Liaofan Zhenjun followed with a cold shout.
"Trigger a martial arts catastrophe? I say, the three of you think too highly of yourselves!"
Xiao Yunlong then suddenly reached out, grabbed the neck of the Celestial Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain, and said word by word, "You may have a place in the Dragon Country's martial arts world, but so what? I've said it long ago, any martial arts force that does not obey the laws and royal decrees of the Dragon Country is an illegal organization. Those who dare to cause trouble, I will push them all down and trample them flat!"
"There is a saying, 'The chivalrous commit offenses against the law.' This describes you at present. And the reason I, Xiao Yunlong, want to kill you today is because the greatest chivalry is for the country and the people. If I remember correctly, last century, when the Dragon Country was in domestic and foreign difficulties, you three so-called martial arts figures hid in the deep mountains and old forests, and did not contribute even a single ounce of strength to the Dragon Country, did you?"
"What is the use of such selfish individuals to the country, even if you are the grand masters of the martial arts world? Keeping you alive will only waste the Dragon Country's grain!"
With that, Xiao Yunlong's fingers suddenly exerted force, directly snapping the neck of the Celestial Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain, killing him on the spot.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining two sect ancestors wanted to jump off the valley and escape.
How could Xiao Yunlong let them escape? With a lightning-fast strike, he ended the lives of both of them in an instant. Thus, all three sect ancestors lay dead on the ground.
Seeing this, the disciples of the three major sects on the opposite side of the valley were all so frightened that they could not speak.
A gust of wind suddenly blew through the mountains. Xiao Yunlong stood on the mountaintop, his gaze overlooking the surging sea of clouds in the distance. At this moment, he was like a god of slaughter in the human world!
