Chapter 96 Dao Mark
Qiao Feng could understand Xuan Ci’s actions, but that didn’t mean he could let go of his hatred.

The enmity between parents is irreconcilable!
Qiao Feng didn't think too much about it. His whole body was filled with internal energy. He suddenly puffed up his sleeves and swung his hand out. A palm wind suddenly rose up, with a sound like the whistling of wind and thunder, and it was obvious that he had used all his strength.

Xuan Ku's face suddenly changed and he wanted to stop him, but his injuries had not yet healed and Qiao Feng's attack was so sudden that he was completely in time.

Xuan Ci clasped his hands together, neither dodging nor evading, nor using his internal energy to defend himself. He just closed his eyes and recited scriptures silently.

Just as Xuan Ci was about to die at the hands of Qiao Feng, suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a black shadow flew from more than ten feet away, crossed the yard, and crashed into Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng paused and slapped the black shadow with his backhand.

boom!
The black shadow instantly shattered into pieces, and pieces of wood flew around.

Only then did Qiao Feng see clearly that the black shadow was actually the plaque on the gate of Chanhe Manor. He raised his head to look towards the direction where the plaque came from, and saw a burly man in black standing on the wall, all wet.

"Xuan Ci, you want to die and be free, but there is no such easy thing in this world!"

The man in black gnashed his teeth, his eyes as cold as lightning, and tore off his mask.

He looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, with a square face, big ears, and a bushy beard. He looked about seven or eighty percent like Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng was filled with joy and surprise. He rushed forward, prostrated himself on the ground, and called out in a trembling voice, "Daddy..."

Xiao Yuanshan laughed loudly and said, "Good boy, you really didn't let your father down!" It was obvious that he was very satisfied with Qiao Feng's move to kill Xuan Ci with a palm.

"Amitabha."

Xuan Ci sighed and said, "Old Donor Xiao, there were two people who committed the most heinous crimes in the battle outside Yanmen Pass. One was Murong Bo who had ulterior motives, and the other was me who could not distinguish true from false. The others were just implicated. Old Donor Xiao, why do you have to kill everyone and commit so much sin?"

Xuan Ci was not surprised.

Before he left Shaolin, he sent a letter to Zhao Qiansun, Tan Gong, Master Zhiguang and others who were involved in the Yanmen Pass incident.

In addition to telling them that Xiao Yuanshan was not dead and asking them to hide quickly, he also asked them to leave a message for Xiao Yuanshan and ask Xiao Yuanshan to come to Chanhe Manor to settle the grudge.

Xiao Yuanshan was alone and moved much faster than them.

When they arrived in Gusu, Xiao Yuanshan had already been waiting outside the city. He then hid in the water and followed them all the way to Chanhe Village.

Xuan Ci's words just now about ending the feud with death were directed to both Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan.

But Xiao Yuanshan obviously didn't want to let it go.

"That day, I was so sad and desperate that I jumped off the cliff to commit suicide, but I landed on the branch of a big tree at the bottom of the cliff and survived. If God doesn't let me die, then he will let you die!"

"Those who participated in the ambush and caused my family to be separated, every one of them will be killed! And those martial arts books..."

Xiao Yuanshan laughed bitterly, "Hehe, hehe! Back then, you guys wrongly accused me of going to Shaolin Temple to steal martial arts books, so I decided to go all out and hide in Shaolin Temple to read all those martial arts books! I will fulfill your wish and pass all Shaolin martial arts to the Liao Dynasty!"

Xuan Ci and Xuan Ku were both shocked.

Both of them participated in the Battle of Yanmen Pass, feeling guilty, and wished to end their karma with death.

But, when it comes to Shaolin heritage and Shaolin martial arts, that is another matter!
The Liao Kingdom was already stronger than the Song Dynasty. If it acquired Shaolin martial arts, it would be even more powerful. The Central Plains would be in danger!
This is something they cannot accept in any way!

Xiao Yuanshan noticed the change in the two people's expressions, and he was delighted and laughed wildly: "It's too late for you to think of an ambush outside Yanmen Pass now! Either kill me now, or you can only watch Shaolin martial arts flow into the Liao Dynasty!"

Xuan Ci and Xuan Ku looked unhappy. They had witnessed Xiao Yuanshan's terrifying martial arts skills in the past.

Now that Xiao Yuanshan has secretly learned martial arts in Shaolin for another thirty years, his strength must be even greater than before!
With just the two of them, they couldn't do anything to Xiao Yuanshan!
Xiao Yuanshan also understood this, and after mocking the two for a few words, he ignored them and turned to look at Li Anran, with murderous intent in his eyes: "Old thief Murong died early, he was lucky, today I will kill you, little thief Murong, and then dig up his grave and grind his bones to dust!"

Xiao Yuanshan hid in the Shaolin Temple and conducted secret investigations for thirty years, but he only found out the list of people who ambushed them at Yanmen Pass. It was not until today that he found out that the culprit was Murong Bo!
Qiao Feng couldn't help but say, "Dad, when the incident at Yanmen Pass happened, Murong Fu wasn't even born yet, and he was also disgusted with what Murong Bo did, and he had just severed ties with the Murong family. We..."

"Feng'er!"

Xiao Yuanshan interrupted Qiao Feng in a harsh voice and said, "You can change your surname, you can change your given name, but can the blood connection be severed? Father and son are one body, and it is only natural that the son pays for the father's debts! If you can't do it, I'll do it myself!" He jumped up and struck him with a palm.

Li Anran had long been aware of Xiao Yuanshan's presence, but did not take it to heart.

It was not until I heard what Xiao Yuanshan and Xuan Ci said that I became a little interested.

Another idiot who blindly practices the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills?

Jiumozhi is well versed in Buddhism, but because of his inconsistent nature, he pushed himself to the brink of going astray!

Li Anran was very curious about what kind of person Xiao Yuanshan would become if he didn't understand Buddhism and had a stronger violent temper and forced himself to practice the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills!
But, taking a look at it now, I felt a little disappointed!

Xiao Yuanshan's condition is much less serious than Jiumozhi's!

Jiumozhi was well versed in Buddhism and had a great advantage in practicing the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills, but because of this, the backlash he suffered was particularly severe.

Xiao Yuanshan did not understand Buddhist scriptures, and only learned the 72 Shaolin unique skills as martial arts moves. He only learned the form but not the spirit.

This actually helped him escape the disaster. His soul was not affected too much, but his body and the circulation of his internal energy were affected a little.

“Is this what it means when fortune comes to misfortune, and when misfortune comes to fortune?”

Li Anran was sitting on a chair and didn't need to do anything as A Bi had already stepped forward and stood in front of him.

Wave!
Ah Bi clasped her hands together and used the Wild Horse Parting Mane technique from the Tai Chi manual to dissipate Xiao Yuanshan's palm force. She then rushed forward and fought with Xiao Yuanshan.

Xiao Yuanshan's attainments in the 72 Shaolin unique skills are not as good as Jiumozhi's, but his own martial arts skills are worse than Jiumozhi's. His moves are straightforward and vigorous, very similar to those of Qiao Feng.

To some extent, the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills actually restricted the display of his strength.

A-Bi is not as strong as Xiao Yuanshan, but both Dou Zhuan Xing Yi and Tai Chi Quan Jing use softness to overcome hardness and weakness to defeat strength, which can just restrain Xiao Yuanshan's tough approach.

The two of them fought back and forth, and for a moment, it was difficult to tell who was the winner.

Qiao Feng, Xuan Ci and Xuan Ku were all shocked.

I never expected that the maids around Li Anran were so powerful!
After the previous battle with Jiumozhi, A-Bi didn't have much combat experience, but her mentality had improved greatly. Every move she made was steady and steady, without any panic.

Xiao Yuanshan is different.

He was a proud and arrogant person. He hid in Shaolin Temple and practiced hard for 30 years. He felt that he had no rivals in the world, so he came out to seek revenge.

But he was stopped by a little girl.

Xiao Yuanshan suddenly became angry and his moves changed. He was no longer straightforward and aggressive, but began to use the 72 Shaolin unique skills he had learned.

"Prajna Palm! Formless Tribulation Finger! Flower Picking Finger! Vajra Palm!"

Xuan Ci and Xuan Ku recognized him at a glance, and their hearts sank suddenly.

Only then did I believe that what Xiao Yuanshan just said was not alarmist, but true!

He did hide in Shaolin Temple for thirty years and secretly learned Shaolin martial arts.

If they fail to kill or keep Xiao Yuanshan, Shaolin martial arts may flow into the Liao Kingdom! Ah Bi was also caught off guard by Xiao Yuanshan's unpredictable moves, but she always adhered to the mentality of responding to changes with constancy and not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes, and demonstrated the four words of defense and counterattack to the fullest.

No matter how many advantages Xiao Yuanshan had on the field, he was never able to turn them into victory.

Li Anran's gaze fell on the three acupoints of "Liangmen", "Taiyi" and "Guanyuan" on Xiao Yuanshan's lower abdomen.

Xiao Yuanshan has strong internal energy and skillful moves, and his internal energy flows throughout his body like a surging river.

However, when his internal energy flowed to these three acupoints, there were signs of stagnation and jamming, and as he continued to attack, these signs became more and more obvious.

This is obviously the sequelae of practicing the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills!

"Get out of my way!"

Xiao Yuanshan realized that the situation couldn't be delayed any longer, so he suddenly struck out with his palm, forcing A-Bi to turn around and defend herself. He then took the opportunity to pass A-Bi and rushed towards Li Anran.

Zheng!
A sword sounded suddenly, and a cold light appeared.

A-Bi is gentle and doesn't like fighting with others. Li Anran taught her the Art of War and Tai Chi.

Ah Zhu was lively and preferred activity to quietness, so Li Anran passed the Dugu Nine Swords to her.

Dugu Nine Swords has a wide variety of moves and is most suitable for defeating the strong with the weak.

But if this strength exceeds the upper limit and your sword cannot damage the opponent's protective Qi, then the Dugu Nine Swords will be useless!
Li Anran specially found meteorite iron from outer space and teamed up with Feng Asan, the sixth craftsman among the Eight Friends of Hangu, to forge a sword for Ah Zhu, successfully upgrading his pitiful level 1 [Forging] skill to level 3.

Seeing Xiao Yuanshan attacking with a palm strike, Ah Zhu decisively swung her sword forward and used the "Palm Breaking Style" from the Dugu Nine Swords.

The world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is different from the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer.

The martial arts in the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer have declined as a whole, and coupled with the constant fighting between good and evil, all schools and factions are seeking changes in their moves in order to achieve the greatest possible improvement in strength in the shortest possible time.

Although the martial arts in the Tianlong world have begun to decline, they are still based mainly on internal strength, with moves being only auxiliary.

In addition, the Tianlong world is generally in a state of peace.

This results in the overall strength of the Tianlong world being above the Smiling Proud Wanderer world, but in terms of the ruthlessness and trickiness of its moves, it is generally behind the Smiling Proud Wanderer world!
Not to mention the Dugu Nine Swords, which is unique in the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer!
Although Xiao Yuanshan was highly skilled in martial arts and had a wide range of knowledge, he had not really fought with anyone in decades, and had never seen such unpredictable sword techniques as the Dugu Nine Swords.

Xiao Yuanshan was unable to adapt for a moment and was directly cut on the arm by Ah Zhu's sword.

Fortunately, Xiao Yuanshan's fighting instinct was still there. The moment he realized the danger was approaching, he pulled back.

Ah Zhu's sword failed to hit him, leaving only a foot-long wound on his arm without injuring any bones or tendons.

However, Xiao Yuanshan completely lost the initiative by retreating.

Ah Zhu leaped forward, waving the sword in her hand, with cold light flashing all over the sky. Every move and every style was extremely clever, and she attacked the enemy while also saving him. She forced Xiao Yuanshan to continue retreating, with no chance to fight back in a short period of time.

Xuan Ci and Xuan Ku looked at each other in dismay, their faces full of horror.

They knew Xiao Yuanshan's strength very well.

But now, there are only two maids in Murong family, one is fighting with Xiao Yuanshan, and the other is suppressing Xiao Yuanshan.

It’s really unbelievable!
When Qiao Feng saw Xiao Yuanshan in danger, he could not stand and wanted to help.

Li Anran couldn't bear to watch any longer.

In order to distance himself from Ah Zhu, Xiao Yuanshan kept throwing things around him at Ah Zhu, but Ah Zhu either chopped them into pieces with her sword or dodged sideways, and the things would inevitably end up being smashed to pieces.

The two men fought for only a few moments, and the hall was already in a mess.

Especially when Xiao Yuanshan used the beam to dodge backwards, Ah Zhu directly cut the pillar into two pieces.

Seeing that the entire hall was about to be demolished by them, Li Anran made hand gestures and chanted spells silently.

In an instant.

The entire floor of the hall suddenly lit up.

Everyone was shocked and looked down hurriedly, only to see that the lines carved on the bluestone floor lit up one after another, outlining a complex and mysterious formation that enveloped them.

Half a month ago, Li Anran's [Calligraphy] skill was finally upgraded to the maximum level, and he gained a new skill [Tao Pattern].

Li Anran combined the Dao patterns with the formations to create the real formation before him that was beyond ordinary understanding.

"What is this!"

Xiao Yuanshan was horrified.

Qiao Feng, Xuan Ci, Xuan Ku and others were no exception. They stared at this miraculous scene with their mouths wide open and dumbfounded.

"Bundle." Li Anran stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Yuanshan.

Xiao Yuanshan felt a chill on his back and had a premonition of extreme danger in his heart.

He instinctively wanted to escape from the range of the light, but it was too late.

next second.

The surrounding light suddenly began to shrink, turning into light circles that tightly encircled Xiao Yuanshan's body.

Xiao Yuanshan lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"What kind of magic is this!"

Xiao Yuanshan was completely panicked. He mobilized all his strength and pushed outwards desperately to break free from the halo, but it was of no avail.

"The formation itself can last for half an hour." Li Anran felt the changes in the Dao patterns and had a rough idea of ​​the strength of the formation in his mind.

Qiao Feng yelled, "Dad!" and rushed forward, reaching out to grab the halo on Xiao Yuanshan's body, but his grasp was empty.

The light circle that encircled Xiao Yuanshan and made him unable to move seemed non-existent to him. He could only see it but could not touch it.

Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment, but he reacted very quickly and raised his hand to slap the ground almost instantly.

But before his hand fell, Li Anran's voice came to his ears: "Bundle."

next second.

The light shrinks.

The halos of light also tightly encircled him.
