However, when used by Faming, it was extremely fierce and powerful.
The two clashed head-on, their physical strength so great that each punch sounded like a thunderous roar.
Aside from his battle against Baosheng Batu, Faming was the only martial artist Yang Cheng had ever seen who had cultivated his physical body to its strongest level.
However, Yang Cheng is not only physically strong now, but his internal strength is also incredibly profound!
Once the Heaven-Stealing Divine Technique was unleashed, a small storm of spiritual energy formed around Yang Cheng, causing the Buddhist light surrounding Fa Ming to dim more and more as he attacked.
Yang Cheng unleashed his blood oath, shattering Fa Ming's protective aura with a single punch.
Simultaneously step forward, raise your elbow, and unleash a burst of energy!
Bajiquan, Top Elbow!
Faming was blasted more than ten feet away by this sudden attack, crashing into the city wall behind him with a loud bang that even shook the entire city wall.
He was blasted into the city wall, leaving a large, human-shaped crater.
The Shaolin disciples' expressions changed immediately, and they all drew their monk's knives and staffs, glaring angrily at Yang Cheng and the others.
Chen Da grinned maliciously, his iron dragon-patterned staff lying horizontally on the ground. Yin Wuxie and the other black-clad guards also drew their weapons, pointing them at the many Shaolin monks. The atmosphere became tense and fraught with danger.
Yan Zhengwei panicked and stood helplessly between the two groups, trying to persuade them: "What did you say? How did you start fighting? It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
However, it was clear that neither the people from Shaolin Temple nor Zhenwu Hall treated him like he was invisible.
Just then, a majestic voice rang out: "Grand Commander Yang, hold your hand!"
Zhang Xiren, dressed in a patched official robe, strode over and stood between Zhenwu Hall and Shaolin Temple.
Yang Cheng waved his hand, signaling the people of Zhenwu Hall to put away their weapons.
"Why did Grand Secretary Zhang come in person? Could it be that you have connections with these rebels?"
The Shaolin monk who had previously caused trouble with his foul mouth glared at Yang Cheng and demanded, "Who are you calling a traitor?"
Yang Cheng glanced at him and said coldly, "If the Zhenwu Hall says you're a traitor, then you're a traitor! If you disagree, go to the Zhaoyu prison and wait to be tried before you talk."
Zhang Xiren said in a deep voice: "Entering the Zhenwu Hall's prison will probably have more serious consequences than being treated as a rebel."
Grand Commander Yang, it is their fault that the Shaolin Temple is new to the capital and does not know the rules. I will personally send someone to the Zhenwu Hall to register and file their case.
The Zhenwu Hall has worked hard to protect the capital and His Majesty's safety. It is these Jianghu people who are too undisciplined and do not understand your good intentions, Grand Commander, which is why a misunderstanding and conflict arose.
I hope that Grand Commander Yang will not hold it against them and will give them a chance.
Yang Cheng gave Zhang Xiren a deep look, then suddenly laughed and said, "Grand Secretary Zhang, you're making it sound like I'm petty."
Since you've personally spoken up, how could I possibly continue to pester you?
With that, Yang Cheng waved his hand at Chen Da and the others, saying, "Let the brothers all retreat. These senior monks from Shaolin Temple have been personally vouched for by Grand Scholar Zhang, so they are definitely not rebels."
After Yang Cheng and his men left, Fa Ming struggled to crawl out of the hole in the city wall, coughed several times, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Thank you for your trouble, Grand Secretary Zhang. We didn't expect such a trouble to happen so soon after we arrived in the capital."
With that, Faming looked at the talkative monk and said coldly, "From this day forward, you are forbidden to speak or leave the Grand Scholar's residence! You will receive your punishment at the Disciplinary Hall after you return to Shaolin Temple!"
Turning to look at Zhang Xiren, Fa Ming frowned and said, "Grand Secretary Zhang, is Yang Cheng, the Grand Commander of the Zhenwu Hall, really so arrogant that no one in the entire court can control him?"
In fact, Faming was also very angry, which is why he did not stop the disciple from talking out of turn immediately.
But he didn't expect Yang Cheng to be so arrogant and bold, and to attack right away.
Zhang Xiren looked in the direction Yang Cheng had left, shook his head slightly and said, "The other side is currently enjoying great success with their sacred scrolls. Even that old scoundrel Cai Yan has given in. It can be said that no one dares to provoke them."
"Master Faming, it's best not to provoke Yang Cheng during this time, lest you cause unnecessary trouble."
Faming nodded, though he still looked unwilling.
After leaving, Yang Cheng immediately instructed Yin Wuxie to send people to keep a close eye on the movements of the Shaolin monks.
However, these Shaolin monks were relatively well-behaved. Apart from registering at the Zhenwu Hall, they never left Zhang Xiren's Grand Secretary's residence.
Three days later, Zhou Heng's birthday celebration officially began, which was also the last day of Yang Cheng's mission and the day when the outcome would be revealed.
