323: Chapter 103 Quan Guanqing

"So what if I am?"

Seeing that Meng Li was only preoccupied with talking to Jiumozhi and had ignored him despite stating his purpose for the visit, Quan Guanqing felt secretly annoyed and couldn't help but speak up.

Meng Li smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I shall wait and see."

Hearing this, Quan Guanqing and Jiumozhi were stunned.

Wait and see?

Did he intend to just stand by and watch?

They had thought Meng Li would choose to favor the Shaolin Monastery.

But this was just as well; if Meng Li truly stood on Shaolin's side, it would surely cause many obstacles to their plan.

Jiumozhi smiled and said, "Then this humble monk and Sect Leader Quan will take our leave first."

Meng Li nodded.

After they left and Zhai Xingzi's corpse finished burning, Meng Li immediately led Wang Yuyan and the others to continue toward Shaolin.

When their group arrived at the assembly site, many people and Schools had already arrived on the field.

Looking around, besides Jiumozhi and the Beggars Sect they had just encountered, Meng Li could recognize at a glance the Qingcheng School, Penglai School, Diancang School, and others.

As for the Loose Cultivator figures, there were the likes of Duan Yanqing, Ye Erniang, and Third Elder Yue.

As soon as Meng Li's two groups arrived, they attracted a lot of attention due to the many beautiful women among them, but no one jumped out to talk nonsense like Zhai Xingzi had before.

The only unfriendly gazes came from the Three Great Evildoers, directed at Duan Yu's group.

When Duan Yu and the others saw them, they couldn't help but think that it was a small world, inwardly lamenting their bad luck.

However, Duan Yanqing's trio did not come over to cause trouble for them because the grand drama on the field had already begun.

After Jiumozhi and Quan Guanqing spoke for a while, they issued a challenge to Shaolin.

Then, Jiumozhi fully demonstrated his strength as one of the Four Masters of Tianlong. Even without the Skill of No Phase as a foundation, and although his Realm in the individual Shaolin ultimate techniques he practiced was not as high as that of the monks of the Xuan generation, he still defeated Xuan Ji and Xuan Sheng in succession by relying on his variety of Moves and deep cultivation.

In the third match, Abbot Xuan Ci had no choice but to step up himself.

Unexpectedly, seeing him step onto the field, Jiumozhi took the initiative to retreat to the side.

Seeing everyone's confusion, he smiled and said, "This humble monk only came to assist and has no intention of overstepping. Since Abbot Xuan Ci has come forward, it should be Sect Leader Quan who faces him."

For a moment, everyone looked at Quan Guanqing.

Quan Guanqing showed no fear, straightened his clothes, and stepped directly onto the field.

"Amitabha. Sect Leader Quan, this old monk pays his respects." Abbot Xuan Ci said politely, starting with Paying Respect to the Buddha from the Great Force Vajra Palm.

Quan Guanqing, however, went straight for a powerful Move, striking out with a palm force of eerie green flames.

Abbot Xuan Ci was a bit dazed.

This isn't a Move from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!

Surprised, he hurriedly changed his Move and struck out with Great Force Vajra Palm force, competing in power with Quan Guanqing from a distance.

Meng Li's gaze narrowed, secretly surprised.

This Move of Quan Guanqing's was the same as the Martial Arts used in the original drama when Ding Chunqiu's two disciples fought, and when Ding Chunqiu fought Su Xinghe.

As an Elder of the Beggars Sect, Quan Guanqing was actually using Xingxiu Sect Martial Arts.

How did this butterfly effect come about?

At this time, Wang Yuyan leaned into Meng Li's ear and said, "Husband, I remember this person's Martial Arts were only average before. Now he can actually compete with the Shaolin Abbot in palm force without being at a disadvantage. He must have had a fortuitous encounter. Can you guess what it is?"

Meng Li shook his head.

The butterfly effect had appeared, and Quan Guanqing had not yet revealed other methods.

For the time being, it was difficult for him to guess the specifics.

Just then, the competition between Quan Guanqing and Abbot Xuan Ci reached a result.

The two of them exerted their full strength, and the flame palm force and the Vajra palm force collided with a boom and exploded. The airwaves and reaction force made them both retreat.

To many people's surprise, Quan Guanqing retreated five steps, while Abbot Xuan Ci retreated six.

Quan Guanqing immediately smiled and said, "Abbot Xuan Ci, thank you for the match."

Abbot Xuan Ci sighed softly.

In terms of palm force alone, he was not weaker than Quan Guanqing. The reason he retreated one extra step was that he was startled by the opponent directly using a powerful Move and not using the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, so he couldn't exert his full strength in his subsequent response.

However, there was no point in saying that.

Compared to that, he was more curious about the Martial Arts Quan Guanqing used.

So, Abbot Xuan Ci asked, "Sect Leader Quan, as the Beggars Sect Leader, why do you not use the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and instead use this wicked technique?"

Quan Guanqing smiled and said, "As long as the Martial Arts is useful, why be constrained to using the Dragon Subduing Palm or the Green Flame Palm?"

"Moreover, in my opinion, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is not even one ten-thousandth as good as my Green Flame Divine Palm."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Beggars Sect members changed slightly.

Before they could say anything, a deep and powerful voice of rebuttal came from the back of the crowd: "What arrogance! You actually dare to say that the Dragon Subduing Palm, passed down through generations of the Beggars Sect, is not even one ten-thousandth as good as this sinister palm technique. I'd like to see just how powerful this wicked palm technique of yours is."

Meng Li was amused, thinking to himself that the excitement had arrived.

In the next second, the roar of a Dragon rose, and billowing dust flew up, condensing into a large Dragon. Carrying a burly figure, it charged towards Quan Guanqing with a surging Aura.

Seeing this, Abbot Xuan Ci and those nearby all dodged out of the way.

Quan Guanqing also wanted to dodge, but his presence was locked. Knowing he couldn't evade, he had to circulate his energy and strike out with a mass of blazing green flames to counter.

The True Qi Dragon and the blazing green flames collided, erupting into a gust-like airwave that scattered dust in all directions.

Many people around were affected, their robes fluttering and their hair and beards dancing wildly. They instinctively retreated and raised their hands to cover their eyes.

When the airwave blew toward Meng Li, he waved his sleeve, condensing an invisible Qi wall in front of him that encompassed Wang Yuyan and the other girls, blocking out all the wind and sand.

Wang Yuyan and the others remained as calm as usual upon seeing this.

Zhong Ling, however, was greatly surprised and then hurriedly pulled Gan Baobao, who was being hit by the wind and sand, over to their side.

Gan Baobao came to her senses and was stunned on the spot when she opened her eyes and saw the Qi wall.

This was the first time she had seen such a technique.

Soon, the wind and sand subsided.

Meng Li dispersed the Qi wall.

The result of the competition between the Dragon Subduing Palm and the Green Flame Palm came out.

Quan Guanqing's feet were like a plow, leaving deep furrows on the ground for a distance of seven or eight steps as he retreated.

The other figure who used the Dragon Subduing Palm only retreated three or four steps.

Immediately, Quan Guanqing spat out two words in a cold tone: "Qiao! Feng!"

"It is indeed I, Qiao." Qiao Feng took off his cloak, revealing his true face.

The heroes on the scene were all startled.

They hadn't expected Qiao Feng to dare come to Shaolin at a time when all the heroes were gathered.

Subsequently, the members of the Beggars Sect had complex expressions.

Seeing this, Quan Guanqing grew secretly angry and shouted loudly, "I didn't expect you, this Khitan dog thief, to actually dare to come! But it's just as well; I will kill you today to avenge Vice Leader Ma and Elder Bai Shijing."

Hearing this, Qiao Feng wanted to say, "Ma Dayuan was killed by Bai Shijing."

But Quan Guanqing didn't give him a chance and attacked with a raised palm.

Meng Li: "?"

It could be seen from the palm exchange just now that although Quan Guanqing's strength had greatly improved, he was still inferior to Qiao Feng.

Where did he get the confidence to continue confronting Qiao Feng?

Soon, the answer was revealed.

Quan Guanqing seized a gap and placed his right pinky finger on one of Qiao Feng's acupoints.

Qiao Feng wanted to brush it away, but a huge suction force came from that pinky finger, sticking firmly to the acupoint while simultaneously drawing and leaking his Internal Energy.

In addition, he felt his whole body go soft, making it difficult to exert strength, and even felt a sensation of twitching.

For a time, Qiao Feng was actually unable to break free, let alone resist.

Everyone was greatly surprised to see this.

Meng Li and Wang Yuyan looked at each other, and four words popped into their minds simultaneously—Beiming Divine Skill!
