Xie Xun, the Golden Lion King, clasped his hands in a salute.
"Master, my hatred for Cheng Kun runs deep. If I cannot eliminate him with my own hands, I will die with regrets!"
Li Huan said, "You mean you have to duel Cheng Kun?"
"Exactly!" Xie Xun raised his head, his golden hair flowing in the wind, like a majestic lion.
Although he was blind, he had a powerful presence and was quite intimidating.
Zhang Wuji reminded him again: "Godfather, you have been poisoned by the 'Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder' and cannot use your internal energy!"
Xie Xun said, "Since Cheng Kun poisoned the medicine, he must have an antidote!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Kun burst into laughter.
"If you want the antidote, you must first agree to my demands; otherwise, I will never hand over the antidote for 'Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder'!"
Zhang Wuji asked, "What are the requirements?"
"Shut up!" Li Huan snapped. "I'm not going to negotiate with Cheng Kun! He's trying to use the antidote as leverage, I'll make him wish he were dead!"
Li Huan quickly unleashed his inner strength, releasing extremely cold true energy to refine the white wine in his palm into a thin, round sheet of ice.
Cheng Kun cried out in panic, "Li Huan! You dare to poison me with the 'Life and Death Talisman'! I'll never get the antidote for the 'Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder'!"
Xie Xun also shouted, "Master, wait a moment! Wait until I've finished my duel with Cheng Kun..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud slap, and Cheng Kun was slapped in the stomach by Li Huan.
Immediately, Cheng Kun felt a stinging and itchy sensation in his acupoints.
Li Huan laughed, "You've been hit by the 'Life and Death Talisman,' you can neither live nor die! You must take a relieving pill to temporarily relieve the pain! Let's see if your 'Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder' is more powerful, or my Life and Death Talisman!"
Previously, Cheng Kun had witnessed the terrible state of Song Qingshu after being afflicted by the "Life and Death Talisman." Now, Cheng Kun finally understood the feeling of being gnawed by thousands of ants in his wound.
It was itchy, painful, and numb, as if ants were frantically gnawing at my bones.
Cheng Kun gritted his teeth and persevered without shouting.
Li Huan sneered: "Trying to be a tough guy, huh? No one in the world can withstand the torment of the 'Life and Death Talisman'!"
Cheng Kun clenched his fists, his eyes were bloodshot, his whole body trembled, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Finally, Cheng Kun let out a howl of pain and tried to pry open his stomach with his hands, wishing he could dig out the "Life and Death Talisman". However, he was hit in acupoints and could not move at all.
Li Huan said, "After the 'Life and Death Talisman' was inserted into your acupoints, it instantly turned into water and has already merged into your meridians!"
Cheng Kun continued to scream in agony.
Li Huan said, "As long as you hand over the antidote to the 'Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder,' I will give you a 'Relief Pill' that will ensure you are free from pain for a year!"
Unable to bear the torment of the "Life and Death Talisman" any longer, Cheng Kun quickly ordered the monks of the Arhat Hall to fetch the antidote.
Li Huan said to Xie Xun, "After you take the antidote for the 'Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder,' your internal strength will be restored. Cheng Kun will also be able to use his martial arts after taking the remedy! In this way, you will be able to duel with Cheng Kun!"
Xie Xun understood and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Master!"
Soon, a monk from the Arhat Hall brought over a wooden box and handed it to Li Huan.
Inside the wooden box was a full antidote for "Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder"!
Li Huan first had Xie Xun take the antidote, and then instructed Zhang Wuji to send the antidote to various sects and factions.
Xie Xun took the antidote, sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, and circulated his internal energy to restore his strength.
Cheng Kun wailed and cried out, "Master Li! Quickly give me some remedies! Quickly give me some remedies..."
Li Huan waited a moment, and only after seeing that the people from the Ming Cult and other sects had taken the antidote did he unzip his waist pouch and take out the "alleviation pill" from the "Life and Death Talisman".
Cheng Kun quickly swallowed the "relief pill," and a few minutes later, the itching and pain in his body subsided, and his complexion improved considerably.
"Master Li! Please release my pressure points!"
Cheng Kun's tone became more respectful, and he dared not continue to be arrogant in front of Li Huan.
Li Huan said, "What the hell are you in such a hurry for! Xie Xun's internal energy hasn't fully recovered yet!"
Helpless, Cheng Kun could only close his eyes and wait patiently.
At this moment, Master Kongzhi awoke.
Upon learning of the situation, Master Kongzhi pointed at Chengkun and angrily rebuked him.
"Shameless traitor! You used trickery to kidnap my senior brother, Abbot Kongwen, and ordered me to convene the 'Lion-Slaying Assembly,' using Xie Xun and the Dragon-Slaying Saber as bait to lure martial arts figures from all over the world to Shaolin Temple!"
Cheng Kun kept his eyes closed and ignored Master Kongzhi.
"Release Senior Brother Kongwen immediately!" Master Kongzhi shouted.
Suddenly, someone pointed at the Shaolin Temple and shouted, "Fire! Fire!"
In the distance, the Bodhidharma Hall of the temple was engulfed in flames, billowing thick smoke.
It's no surprise that Cheng Kun was behind this.
Master Kongzhi hurriedly ordered, "Quickly return to the temple to put out the fire! Go put out the fire!"
The old monks in the Dharma Hall and the monks in the Arhat Hall stood still, expressionless.
Clearly, they only obeyed Cheng Kun's orders.
At this moment, several jets of water appeared above the Bodhidharma Academy, extinguishing the raging fire.
Upon seeing this, Master Kongzhi clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha! Fortunately, there were people inside the temple who put out the fire!"
Yang Xiao laughed and said, "I have already arranged for the flood flag to infiltrate Shaolin Temple!"
Master Kongzhi hurriedly bowed in thanks, and asked with concern, "Brother Kongwen is imprisoned in the Bodhidharma Institute. I wonder if he is out of danger?"
"Hehehe..." Cheng Kun suddenly grinned maliciously, "Kong Wen is covered in oil, he will burn if he is exposed to fire. The Ming Cult's flood flag can extinguish the fire in the Bodhidharma Academy, but it can't save Kong Wen!"
Yang Xiao raised an eyebrow: "If the Flood Banner can't save Kong Wen, there's still the Thick Earth Banner!"
Several monks hurriedly ran into the square and reported to Master Kongzhi.
As Yang Xiao said, Cheng Kun's henchmen set fire to the Bodhidharma Temple, but the fire was extinguished by the people of the Flood Banner.
Master Kongzhi hurriedly asked, "Is Abbot Brother out of danger?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yuan, the flag bearer of the Thick Earth Banner, rushed into the square, followed by Fan Yao, the Right Envoy of Light!
Fan Yao was carrying an old monk on his back; it was none other than Abbot Kongwen of Shaolin Temple.
Master Kongwen was covered in grease, his eyebrows and beard were singed, and he looked extremely disheveled.
Fan Yao put down Master Kongwen and said to Li Huan, "Reporting to the Master! The fire at the Bodhidharma Academy has been extinguished. Commander Yan led his men to dig a tunnel and rescued Abbot Kongwen! The traitors of the Shaolin Sect have also been captured!"
Li Huan nodded approvingly and said with a smile, "You two have worked hard. Take the brothers to get some boxed lunches!"
Xiao Zhao and Yang Buhui quickly took out their boxed lunches from the carriage.
Master Kongwen, without bothering to straighten his robes, hurriedly bowed to Li Huan in gratitude.
Li Huan, too lazy to waste words with the old monk, turned to Xie Xun and asked, "How has your internal energy recovered?"
Xie Xun slowly stood up: "My internal energy has recovered to seventy or eighty percent! Please release Cheng Kun's acupoints, Master!"
Li Huan immediately raised his hand and used the "Finger Flicking Divine Skill" to release Cheng Kun's acupoints, and then stabbed Cheng Kun's two eyes!
Cheng Kun screamed in agony.
Xie Xun hurriedly asked, "Master! Why did you injure Cheng Kun?"
Li Huan laughed and said, "Your martial arts skills were originally inferior to Cheng Kun's, and you were blind! To be fair, I blinded Cheng Kun!"
Cheng Kun hurriedly cried out, "This is unfair! This is unfair..."
Li Huan said, "Give me a reason why this is unfair! If it doesn't make sense, I'll break your right leg!"
