The group of men at the head of the group, dressed in rags and wielding sticks, were disciples of the Beggars' Sect.
In "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", the Beggars' Sect had already declined and its strength was far less than during the "Return of the Condor Heroes" period.
Li Huan knew that the Beggars' Sect had made a great contribution to the defense of Xiangyang City, sacrificing many disciples, which was why it had been unable to rise again even after a hundred years.
As for the feud between the Beggars' Sect and the Ming Cult, it stemmed from the six Sacred Flame Tokens of the Ming Cult's Persian headquarters...
"Kill! Kill!"
The deafening shouts echoed throughout the square.
The Beggars' Sect, the Three Gates Sect, the Wushan Sect, the Giant Whale Sect, the Sea Sand Sect, the Divine Fist Sect, and other large and small gangs surrounded Li Huan and Zhang Wuji.
When they saw that the Ming Cult only had two people fighting, all the other gangs and factions were dumbfounded.
"Strange! Where are the demonic sect's troops?"
"Who are these two? Did they come here specifically to die?"
"Be careful, everyone! Don't fall into the trap of the evil cult!"
"It must be the Demonic Sect's empty city ploy..."
Everyone started talking at once, making all sorts of guesses.
Li Huan stood tall with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
Zhang Wuji announced loudly, "This is the new leader of the Ming Cult! Li Huan!"
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Then, a burst of laughter erupted.
"Hahaha……"
"The new leader of the Demonic Sect is actually a greenhorn! Who would believe that?"
"The evil cult is so despicable! They're deliberately toying with us!"
"Stop your damn nonsense! Kill these two!"
The shouts and curses were incessant.
Li Huan suddenly swung his palm, unleashing the techniques "The Dragon Regrets" and "The Hidden Dragon Should Not Be Used," sending more than a dozen arrogant scoundrels flying in succession!
"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!"
The two elders in the Beggars' Sect camp exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Li Huan knew that Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggars' Clan, had poor martial arts aptitude. He had only mastered twelve of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms before suffering a qi deviation and becoming paralyzed in his upper body.
"Who exactly are you? And why do you know our sect's unique skills?"
An elder of the Beggars' Sect questioned in astonishment, his eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of awe.
He was tall and strong, with white hair and beard.
Li Huan laughed and said, "I used to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect. Why aren't you kneeling down?"
It was just something I said casually, without expecting the other person to believe it.
If Li Huan patiently and thoroughly explained his identity, the elders and disciples of the Beggars' Sect would feel that they had been made a fool of.
Fellow juniors, I am the nineteenth leader of the Beggars' Sect! I am the disciple of the eighteenth leader, Hong Qigong, the husband of the twentieth leader, Huang Rong, and the senior brother of the twenty-first leader, Guo Jing!
These words are nothing short of a fantasy for the Beggars' Clan in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
"Elder Transmission Master! Li Huan has definitely received the true teachings of Chief Shi!"
A member of the Beggars' Sect shouted a reminder.
The white-haired elder, who was passing on his skills, stared intently at Li Huan: "The palm techniques he just used were the first move of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, 'The Dragon Regrets,' and the fifth move, 'The Hidden Dragon Should Not Be Used'..."
Bang!
Li Huan swung his palm again, sending several disciples of the Giant Whale Gang flying. They landed twenty meters away, spitting out blood.
The elder who was passing on his skills was shocked: "This...which move from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is this?"
"Dragons fight in the wild."
Li Huan said calmly.
"This is the fifteenth move of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. You haven't seen it before, have you?"
The elder who was passing on his skills stared wide-eyed: "No...impossible...absolutely impossible..."
Li Huan leaped into the air, turned in mid-air, and used the "Dragon Tail Swing" to knock down more than a dozen disciples of the Hai Sha Sect!
The screams continued unabated.
"This is the eighteenth move of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Divine Dragon Swings its Tail!"
After Li Huan finished speaking, he landed in front of the Transmission Elder and looked directly into his eyes.
His piercing gaze sent chills down the spine of Elder Chuan Gong.
"You...you couldn't be the former gang leader...reincarnated..."
Holy crap, the elder who transmits the power is superstitious.
Li Huan had a sudden inspiration and came up with a brilliant plan to subdue the Beggars' Sect.
He swiftly used the "Soul Transfer Technique" from the Nine Yin Manual, employing his internal energy, and stared intently at the elder who was transmitting the skill!
"You have a good eye! I am the reincarnation of the nineteenth leader of the Beggars' Sect!"
The Transmission Elder's gaze was deeply drawn to Li Huan's eyes. He suddenly felt dizzy, took a few steps back in astonishment, and muttered to himself.
"Our nineteenth leader, the new Li Huan, is the husband of the twentieth leader, Huang Rong... You...you are also named Li Huan, are you really the reincarnation of Leader Li?"
Li Huan suppressed a laugh and said sternly, "You haven't even bowed to me, the leader of this gang?"
The elder who was passing on his skills trembled and hurriedly knelt down: "Disciple pays respects to Chief Li! This disciple was blind to your greatness and begs for your forgiveness, Chief Li!"
Li Huan felt happy.
Since I redeemed all the martial arts skills in "The Return of the Condor Heroes," I've never used the "Soul Transfer Technique." Today, I gave it a try, and it worked wonders.
Seeing the Elder Transmission of Skills kneel down and kowtow to the leader, many disciples of the Beggars' Sect were inspired and also knelt down.
Another Beggars' Sect elder looked puzzled: "If you are the reincarnation of the nineteenth leader of our sect, why don't you have our sect's prized treasure, the Green Bamboo Staff?"
The Transmission Elder hurriedly said, "Enforcement Elder, the Green Bamboo Staff was personally kept by Chief Shi, how could it have fallen into Chief Li's hands?"
A single sentence serves as a reminder to the dreamer.
The elder in charge of law enforcement understood and quickly knelt down to kowtow.
Taking advantage of the situation, Li Huan said, "Our gang and the Ming Cult have a feud because of the six Sacred Flame Tokens from the Persian Ming Cult headquarters! It is extremely foolish for the Beggars' Gang to attack the Ming Cult today!"
The elder in charge of law enforcement hurriedly said, "Please enlighten us, Chief Li!"
Li Huan said, "This matter is rather complicated. I will deal with the feud between the Beggars' Sect and the Ming Cult after I obtain those six Sacred Flame Tokens! You all should withdraw your troops and descend the mountain, and cease hostilities with the Ming Cult!"
The Transmission Elder and the Enforcement Elder looked at each other in bewilderment.
Li Huan raised his voice: "Dare to disobey the gang leader's orders, don't blame me for using the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to kill you all!"
Regardless of whether the claim of being the "reincarnation of the nineteenth generation leader" is true, the immense power of the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms" is undeniable!
Taking advantage of the situation, the elder in charge of law enforcement immediately shouted, "Beggar Clan disciples, listen up! By order of the nineteenth generation leader, Chief Li, descend the mountain at once!"
In an instant, the Beggars' Sect disciples scattered like birds and beasts, quickly fleeing the square.
Seeing this, Li Huan couldn't help but sigh.
Alas, the number one gang in the world has fallen to such a state!
At this moment, Zhang Wuji was completely dumbfounded.
He never imagined that Li Huan was not only proficient in the Ming Cult's "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" but also in the Beggar Clan's "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms".
Not only was his martial arts skill formidable, but he was also able to intimidate the elders and disciples of the Beggars' Sect and order them to retreat by claiming to be the "reincarnation of the nineteenth generation leader."
Li Huan whispered, "Wuji, don't be stunned! I'm not some reincarnation of the Beggar Clan leader. I just used the Nine Yin Manual's martial art—the Soul Transfer Technique!"
"The Soul Transfer Technique?" Zhang Wuji asked in surprise.
Li Huan had no time to say more, and looked around at the enemies.
Aside from the Beggars' Sect, Li Huan had absolutely no goodwill towards any other gangs.
Gangs like the Giant Whale Gang and the Sea Sand Faction usually engage in despicable acts such as murder, robbery, and bullying the weak!
Li Huan drew his "Mysterious Iron Pig-Slaughtering Knife" and said with a smile.
"Wuji! Open your eyes wide and look carefully, I'm going to demonstrate some martial arts you've never seen before!"
