Guo Zishan looked at Lin Xiaofei quietly, waiting for Lin Xiaofei's reply.
In his view, as long as he defeats Lin Xiaofei, the news will soon reach the gang, and he will still be the number one genius in the hearts of the inner disciples and the leader of the younger generation of disciples.
At the same time, he also wanted to test Lin Xiaofei's strength. If the opponent was not as strong as him, then he would not need to worry about winning first place in the competition. If the opponent was stronger than him, then he would need to make some preparations in advance to ensure that he could successfully win first place in the competition.
Of course, he didn't think Lin Xiaofei could beat him.
"In that case, I will grant Senior Brother Zishan's request."
As he spoke, Lin Xiaofei handed the horse reins to Qin Hong, then walked to a slightly more spacious spot by the roadside, extended a hand, and gestured for him to proceed.
"Junior Brother Lin is a very straightforward person. Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Guo Zishan was overjoyed and smiled smugly. He took a step forward, clenched his fists, and punched Lin Xiaofei repeatedly, like a juggler. His fists were like overlord hammers, and a powerful aura formed on his fists as they broke through the air.
At this moment, Lin Xiaofei's eyes were calm as he stared at Guo Zishan's hammer-like fists, watching as a powerful shockwave emanated from them and hurtled toward his face.
The three forms of the Illusionary Fist sweep across the land like the wind!
The gang's top-tier martial arts technique.
Guo Zishan grew up in a wealthy family and never lacked money, which is why he was able to exchange for a thousand taels of silver for advanced boxing and martial arts techniques from the gang.
Although the three forms of his Illusion Fist were as swift as the wind, with great momentum and impressive power, and looked quite frightening, he had only cultivated them to the minor completion level. Combined with the strength of an ordinary mid-stage martial artist, the power he could unleash with his fists was limited.
Of course, if he were to use this move against other disciples of the same level, he would have a relatively easy time winning.
However, in Lin Xiaofei's eyes, although this martial art was very strong, it was completely useless against him.
Lin Xiaofei's eyes remained calm as he raised his hand and delivered a palm strike.
Piercing Palm!
Bang!
The Perfected Flowing Palm emitted a sound like it was tearing through the air, like a dragon emerging from the sea. It struck out head-on, directly hitting the opponent's illusory fist, which was as imposing as a rainbow, with power erupting like magma.
boom!
A figure, like a small stone thrown into the air, crashed heavily onto the ground more than ten meters away.
"How is that possible?"
Zhu San and the others standing nearby couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
At the same time, passersby all turned to look, their gazes filled with bewilderment as they stared at the figure that had suddenly flown away.
The fact that a single palm strike sent a person flying left those who witnessed it in disbelief.
Zhu San, in particular, had always followed Guo Zishan and knew that Guo Zishan was very strong. Even fellow disciples of the same level could not defeat Guo Zishan.
However, he was defeated by Lin Xiaofei, who had just broken through to the mid-stage of ordinary martial arts. This left him stunned and even made him wonder if Guo Zishan was holding back.
Liu Hengchang, who was standing to the side, was startled.
He knew that Guo Zishan had the strength of an ordinary mid-stage cultivator, and that to knock Guo Zishan away with one palm strike would require at least the strength of an ordinary late-stage cultivator, which was the same level as him. However, he did not believe that he could knock Guo Zishan away with one palm strike, and that he would need at least three full-force palm strikes.
At this moment, he understood something: Lin Xiaofei was hiding his true strength.
"That palm strike was incredibly powerful."
Qin Hong's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise.
In the training ground, he had seen many inner disciples challenge Lin Xiaofei, and they usually defeated their opponents in about ten moves. He had never seen Lin Xiaofei send anyone flying with a single palm strike.
Now that he had sent someone flying with this one palm strike, he knew that Lin Xiaofei's strength had surpassed the average mid-stage level, which made him feel that Lin Xiaofei's progress was too fast.
"Senior Brother Zishan, thank you for your secret manual."
Lin Xiaofei glanced at Guo Zishan, who had fallen to the ground, and said something indifferently. Then he picked up the secret manual that Guo Zishan had dropped, and, holding the reins again, walked into the city with Liu Hengchang and Qin Hong.
Guo Zishan knew perfectly well that there were many people coming and going near the city gate, and that it would not be a glorious thing for anyone to be defeated, but he still did it anyway.
If you challenge him in the training grounds within the gang, he will defeat him within ten moves, so that the opponent's defeat is not too humiliating. Even if he loses, only the disciples within the gang will know.
However, if they are defeated near the city gate, many people will talk about them, especially since they are disciples of the Qingfeng Gang, and they are more likely to be talked about and have their reputations ruined.
Therefore, Lin Xiaofei believed that Guo Zishan was there to cause trouble, so he naturally wouldn't give him any face.
Just as they entered the city, they suddenly heard a mournful sound behind them. They turned around and saw...
A group of people were seen driving seven or eight carriages. The goods on the carriages had clearly been slashed by swords. On one of the carriages lay four or five people with their wounds bandaged. They were walking quickly from the direction of the city gate.
This group of people were all burly and imposing, with long steel swords hanging at their waists. They had serious expressions and an extraordinary aura that gave people a sense of oppression.
It was obvious at a glance that this group of people were not ordinary people, which immediately aroused Lin Xiaofei's curiosity, and he stopped to take a look.
"This is the Zhang Family Escort Agency's escort team returning from their mission. Currently, only they dare to take the official route so openly and dare to fight against the bandits of Black Wind Stronghold."
Watching the Zhang Family Escort Agency group quickly head into the city, Liu Hengchang said in a low voice.
"Aren't they afraid of the bandits from Black Wind Stronghold?"
Qin Hong asked in confusion.
He had long heard of Black Wind Stronghold, a band of mountain bandits with strength comparable to that of the government. Within a radius of 150 miles of Qingshan Town, no one dared to provoke them, and even most government officials dared not confront them directly.
"They are indeed not afraid."
Since the Zhang Family Escort Agency reopened, it has brought in a large group of skilled people to escort goods. Moreover, they specifically pass through the areas patrolled by Black Wind Stronghold. Every time they are intercepted by bandits, they fight them fiercely and never pay any tolls.
Look at their physique and aura. Each of them must be at least at the early stage of an ordinary martial artist. This team, which is stronger than the bandits, caused the bandits to suffer a lot of losses.
These powerful individuals all came from Canyon County. They had fought against Black Wind Stronghold many times, and both sides had suffered heavy losses over the past three years. However, Zhang Family Escort Agency continued to oppose Black Wind Stronghold.
Therefore, when the Zhang Family Escort Agency escorts their goods along the official road, the bandits of Black Wind Stronghold adopt a wait-and-see attitude, refraining from engaging them in battle.
Liu Hengchang said calmly.
"The Zhang family is going against Black Wind Stronghold like this. They're not doing the escort business; they're just asking for trouble."
Qin Hong said.
"That's what I think too."
Liu Hengchang smiled.
Lin Xiaofei watched silently as the people from Zhang Family Escort Agency gradually left, and no one knew what he was thinking.
