Chapter 67: Xuanjians Parting Words, Righteousness Leaves No Room for Emotions

  Chapter 67: Xuan Jian's Ultimate Move, Justice Leaves No Room for Emotion

  Yang Guang had studied the profound and mysterious "Yi Jing" for decades, and later obtained a small portion of the Flame Emperor's Yang Fire divine power and the ferocious power of the Tiger's fierce spirit. He had long since advanced this orthodox school of mysticism to an even more powerful level, evolving it into the "Divine Emperor's Mysterious Mirror". At that time, he was only in his thirties, and both his martial arts skills and physical body were at their peak state. When enraged to the extreme, he unleashed his finishing move, "Heavy Blow", with a power that was truly not to be underestimated.

  Lightning-fast, the palm wind pressed down on his body, and Yang Zhao felt a tearing pain that pierced his five organs and six intestines. His breathing was stifled to the point of extinction. The shadow of death loomed over his head like never before. At the critical moment of life and death, his self-preserving instincts subconsciously erupted with a thick true energy to protect his body, instantly shattering the invisible true energy shackles that bound his movements. The "Li" and "Kan" trigrams appeared on the left and right palms, respectively, and countered Yang Guang's two ruthless killing moves with perfect balance.

  "Boom, boom!" Two consecutive dull explosions, the powerful palms of the two men collided, unleashing a shocking and explosive force. The entire ground where they stood was instantly blasted out, creating a huge circular pit over five or six feet in diameter and three inches deep. More than twenty solid gold bricks were blown into fine powder by the residual waves of their palm forces. The two father and son figures retreated seven or eight steps, "Teng, teng, teng, teng, teng!" before finally dissipating the incoming force. Yang Guang's face turned pale, with a few strands of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, revealing that he had suffered a serious internal injury.

  When it comes to martial arts, both father and son take the "Mysterious Mirror of the Book of Changes" as their foundation. No matter how talented Yang Zhao is or how many strange encounters he has had, his age is still a factor, and the depth of his inner strength can't compare to that of his old man. However, the Eight Trigrams Palm contains its own cycle of creation and destruction. Qian belongs to metal, Kun belongs to earth, and they are precisely restrained by Li fire and Kan water. Yang Guang is full of murderous intent, wanting to kill his rebellious son on the spot with his palm, while Yang Zhao also has no choice but to go all out in self-defense. After a fierce exchange, it's actually Yang Guang who ends up at a disadvantage.

  The husband and son suddenly started killing each other, Xiao's face turned pale with fright, she stomped her foot and cried out in shock and urgency: "You two, what are you doing?! Ah Guang, that's your son, stop! Zhao Er, is this how you treat your father? Kneel down quickly!"

  "Don't let him kneel!" Yang Guang's headache and anger fueled each other, bringing out an even thicker killing intent. He wiped the blood from his mouth and shouted: "This little beast, just two months after going out and he thinks he has grown wings and can fly? What a ridiculous dream!" The Nine Successes' power was once again pushed to a higher state by the Heavenly Emperor's Mirror, shouting: "Little beast, if you have the ability, take this palm strike again!" His palms shot out in unison, striking straight at the vital point of the abdomen, as if the person in front of him was not his own son, but a mortal enemy.

  This cheap old man came over like a madman, and Yang Zhao had a lot of reason to explain, but no one would listen. But when the city gate catches fire, it's hard to avoid harming the fish in the pond. The Xiao family didn't have any martial arts skills, and if they accidentally hurt her during the fight, whether it was Yang Guang or himself, they would immediately regret it. This thought flashed by faster than lightning, and the young master dodged to the side with his innate Bagua step, shouting: "Mom, Father's illness has relapsed. You hide first, son is fine." With a reverse palm, he used the gentle wind of the Xun Feng Ruo technique to wrap up Xiao and send her out the door. Before he could retract his palm, Yang Guang appeared beside him like a shadow, using the same Bagua step, with a powerful palm force that shook the heart and shattered the skull, its killing intent more intense than before by threefold.

  Young Master Wang let out a melancholy sigh, and steeled himself to face the battle. Since Kan belongs to water and Zhen belongs to wood, in terms of the five elements generating and overcoming each other, it should be earth overcoming water and metal overcoming wood. Yang Zhao's internal force surged forth, his left hand forming the "Gen Mountain Stabilizing" stance, while his right palm formed the "Dui Ze Whirlpool" stance. First, he stabilized his defensive line to gain an unbeatable position, then he wanted to draw out Yang Guang's palm force and send it flying. His changing moves were swift, and his response was in perfect harmony with the orthodox way of martial arts. It seemed that even if he couldn't thoroughly suppress this crazy old man, at least he should be able to gain a slight upper hand as before. In the blink of an eye, Yang Guang's eyes flashed with an eerie light, knowing full well that his moves were about to be overcome, yet he remained completely unmoved. The next moment, four palms clashed again, and astonishingly - there was no sound or noise?

  Yang Zhao's face changed color, and the two palm forces of Gen Shan Gu and Ze Zhe were not only ineffective, but were completely absorbed by Yang Guang. It was impossible for this to happen, the Bagua Palm should not have such a change, unless...this is not the Bagua Palm!

  In the midst of a fierce battle, where was there any room for the young master to carefully consider his next move? Yang Guang let out a stern shout and combined the absorbed palm force with his own true strength, creating an unprecedentedly powerful killing intent that forcefully broke through Yang Zhao's defenses and struck at his heart. It was too late to change tactics or dodge now. In the briefest of moments, like a white horse passing by in the blink of an eye, the young master took a deep breath, mobilized his true energy to protect his heart meridian, and instead of retreating, he advanced forward, barely withstanding this attack before Yang Guang's palm force was fully exhausted. The sound of tearing fabric was sharp enough to pierce one's eardrums. The young master's upper garment was completely torn apart, the shredded cloth and fragments flying in all directions along with the palm force's shockwave. "Chop chop chop chop chop!" In the blink of an eye, several large pillars in the hall were chopped into flying wood chips, as if they had been hacked by a knife or axe.

  "Hmph!" A long breath was exhaled, and Yang Zhao's face changed again, but he didn't spit blood. His body slid out a few steps like a willow leaf blown by the wind, escaping his father's attack range. His eyes shone brightly, showing that his spirit and energy were full, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to recite: "When softness and hardness first interact, it is difficult to give birth, moving in danger, great prosperity and integrity. The movement of thunder and rain is full and overflowing, heaven creates the dawn, it is suitable to establish a marquis but not peaceful. This is... Water Thunder 'Tuán'!"

  "The Mysterious Mirror of the I Ching" is vast and profound, all-encompassing. Although the basic skills are the same, they can be interpreted differently according to the practitioner's innate abilities and personality. Yang Zhao himself was able to comprehend that he could reverse-engineer the Eight Trigrams, deducing the Four Images Mysterious Skill and the Two Discourses Eight Laws advanced mental method. However, Yang Guang took a different path due to his life experiences, choosing breadth over depth, expanding the basic Eight Trigrams Palm into the Sixty-Four Trigrams Palm. This was even more mysterious and unpredictable, with unfathomable depths. Since his defeat at the hands of Jiu Qian Sui and his subsequent escape, he had not used the name "Kai Xin" in the martial world for over a decade, and rarely revealed his skills, so apart from Yang Su and himself, no one knew that Yang Guang's martial arts had made tremendous progress.

  Yang Zhao didn't know before, but now that he's been hit, he has to know. The third hexagram of the I Ching, "Water Thunder", its image is exactly Kan above and Zhen below. It seems similar to the ordinary two-hexagram combination, but in reality, it hides a profound mystery within, and the effect of one plus one is absolutely greater than two. Fortunately, when he was 9,000 years old, he gained insight from the "Wordless True Classic" and obtained a chapter on healing injuries. Relying solely on true qi breathing, the effect is not inferior to any spiritual elixir or wonderful medicine. In the depths of the Heavenly Pit and Absolute Valley, the 9,000-year-old not only forcibly imparted the Qianyang Gong heart method to the young prince, but also lightly transmitted this healing technique. At this moment, when his body suffered severe injuries, the young prince subconsciously followed the technique and worked on it. In just this brief moment, the internal injuries he sustained had already healed by 80% or 90%.

  From the middle of the palm to the analysis and reasoning, the true state of the opponent's martial arts was revealed in just two or three seconds. The killing intent that was supposed to be irresistible did not have the expected effect, and Yang Guang, despite being furious, couldn't help but feel shocked. Driven by his martial instincts, he raised his palm and pressed it down without thinking. With a surge of energy, he immediately saw through the situation of his son's true energy circulation. "Kai Xin" and Jiu Qian Sui were sworn enemies who knew each other's skills inside out. This one glance was like seeing through fire, but it made Yang Guang's seven orifices smoke with rage, and his three corpses jumped wildly. He roared in a shrill voice: "You little beast, you're actually still colluding with that demon Jiu Qian Sui!" The Shen Huang Xuan Jian ran more rapidly and vigorously under the drive of anger, and in an instant, the sixty-four hexagrams' shapes and energies swirled around his body. This majestic figure of the Crown Prince Yang Guang leapt forward, his double palms striking out again, but this time it was a downward blow!

  The 21st Hexagram: Fire Thunder "Biting Through"! The Judgment says: "Something in the jaws, biting through and being successful; firmness and softness are divided, movement and clarity, thunder and lightning join to make a clear sign. Softness gets the middle and moves upwards, although not in the right position, it is useful for prison. This prison is not an ordinary prison, but rather - Hell!

  It's pointless to reason with a madman like that. The thunderous palm force was overwhelming, pouring down from the sky like a meteor shower, aiming straight for his son's body, crazily pounding and striking. Young Master Wang sighed secretly, his feet treading on the pre-heavenly eight trigrams, spinning left and right. At the same time, the palms of his hands, which were waving randomly, no longer revealed the golden light of the trigrams, but instead transformed into a misty rain aura with thousands of threads. The chaotic and disorderly movements seemed to be in disarray, yet every single move precisely landed on Yang Guang's arms. Disrupting the rhythm, blocking the attack, the mighty "Xī jié" palm force had not even fully unfolded before it was suppressed, unable to be unleashed.

  The Four Images Xuan Gong's "Infinite Rain". At this moment, once it was used, compared to the day when he faced off against Fang Qinghui on the cliffside plank road with his Flying Wing Sword (which had been lost in the Lingyun Cave when Qilin dragged him away), it seemed even more mature and cunning, perfectly displaying the "soft" and "clever" techniques.

  On the ingenuity of change, the 64 hexagrams are more wonderful and complex than the four images. The fire and thunder "biting" have not been exhausted, and this great Sui crown prince's palm formula is urgently collected and changed. Kan above Li below, the 63rd hexagram Water Fire "Already Across". Zha Zhong Cang Zha half empty and half real, easy to change without gaps, as if heaven-made. Even if the infinite rain can still hold the defense line, it looks like there is already a cumulative danger.

  However, "Ji" did not make him old, Yang Guang suddenly changed to the 28th hexagram of Ze Feng "Da Guo". It is said that "the beam is broken, it is beneficial to have a place to go, it has just passed and is in the middle, it is smooth and easy to do, and it is auspicious." He moved his body method, quickly turning around the enemy, his speed was almost invisible to the naked eye. The dense and urgent rain of "Wu Liang Yu" made it impossible to find a target for interception. At this time, Yang Zhao's true energy was also exhausted, and he could only retreat continuously to avoid its edge. Little Wang Ye leaned against one of the beams on the temple, desperately holding on to his defensive line, which had already become nominal. The blood on the corner of his mouth hadn't been wiped away yet, and suddenly, due to Yang Guang's palm force that pierced through his lungs, new bright red marks were added one after another.

  Viewing his own son as prey to pounce on, the mad tiger would not let slip this great opportunity that he had painstakingly created. In a brief moment, Yang Guang's technique changed direction three times in rapid succession. Abandoning all variations and speed, the "Divine Emperor's Mirror" transcended its limits and reached its peak at 120%, shaking heaven and earth, precisely the thirty-fourth hexagram: Thunder Heaven "Great Expansion"!

  "Great, great is the strong. Just with movement, so strong. Great strength benefits integrity; great is correct. Correct and great, and the emotions of heaven and earth can be seen! This move must kill, combined with the fate of the true dragon son's majestic heavenly power, the momentum is extremely hot, absolutely far beyond the ordinary person's imagination!"

  They, the father and son duo, closed the door and started a fierce battle, making a huge commotion, but what was actually happening inside, the palace guards outside couldn't see through the walls. They only felt an invisible and intangible aura of killing intent bursting out from within, pressing down on them like a tsunami. Even those with slightly inferior cultivation would feel their blood and energy surging in reverse, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Unbeknownst to themselves, everyone's hearts were chilled to the core, and they retreated further and further away.

  Lei Tian's "Great Strength" burst out, and the first sound of the clash immediately erupted from the great hall. The sound was like a thunderclap on a dry day, shaking people's hearts. Outside the hall, everyone trembled violently, their five organs and six entrails all affected, churning and boiling like boiling water. The entire great hall seemed to be an over-inflated balloon, constantly expanding outward. Before the thunder had even dissipated, the second and third rounds of muffled clashes followed in quick succession. However, what was surprising was that it seemed like the thunder was loud but the raindrops were small, no longer bringing that intense shock to body and mind as the first time. Just when everyone's souls had slightly calmed down...

  Under the relentless and unstoppable impact, the entire building finally could not withstand the force of the impact, and it collapsed with a deafening roar. The sound was so loud that more than half of the people in the imperial palace heard it clearly. The most pure and unmatched power burst out immediately, doors and windows were blown away, bricks and stones flew everywhere, the roof tiles and giant wooden beams flew into the sky together, and then fell down like raindrops and hailstones, hitting everything randomly. More than a hundred imperial guards around the main hall, more than one-third of them did not even have time to make a sound before they were knocked unconscious and bleeding from their seven orifices. Another third of them suffered severe injuries, with broken heads, bones, and tendons.

  Among the rolling smoke and dust, only a black-purple dragon with its teeth and claws exposed and a qilin with its whole body fiery red and ferocious can be seen, entwining each other while flying to the clouds at the same time. The majestic momentum is extraordinary and magnificent, truly a rare sight that has not been seen for thousands of years.

  In the center of the ruined temple, the two father and son who had become sworn enemies stood seven zhang apart, facing each other from a distance. Yang Guang's feet had drawn out two deep gully marks on the ground. His expression was stern, his palms clasped together, unmoving. Yang Zhao stood still in his original position, still maintaining the appearance of punching out to resist, with lightning flashing between his fingers, electricity swirling around him. He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with helplessness. All because he had finally been forced to use this move on his own father - the Merciless Thunderbolt.

  It is not that the son is unfilial, but rather that the father is heartless.
