Chapter 49: Initial deployment!

It was in this moment of distraction that Li Xiu seized the opportunity to reach out with an eagle claw towards He Biweng's chest and abdomen. Instinctively frightened and angry, He Biweng raised his arms to block.

"Bang!"

Li Xiu's eagle claw slammed onto He Biweng's arms with great force, causing He Biweng to feel a severe pain that penetrated to the bone.

This was only slightly reduced by his strong internal strength, otherwise, his arms might have been completely broken by this direct hit.

Li Xiu's eyes narrowed and he let out a cold snort as he grabbed with the eagle claw again, passing through He Biweng's arms.

He Biweng had already barely managed to barely block the previous attack in a hurry, and he was completely unable to react to Li Xiu's swift change in tactics.

"Splash!"

Hot blood splattered on the ground, accompanied by a sudden scream from Lu Zhangke, and a piece of bright red flesh was thrown aside by Li Xiu with a slightly evil look on his face.

He Biweng's arm, which had been blocking Li Xiu's eagle claw, was missing a large piece of flesh, as if it had been brutally bitten by a vicious tiger.

The wound was deep and the bones were visible. He Biweng was overwhelmed by the pain that swept through his whole body and he could hardly bear it, crying out in agony as he held his injured arm.

Seeing that victory was certain, Wei Yixiao and Yin Tianzheng relaxed and began to chat.

"Old ghost, it hasn't even been a month since you passed your Eagle Claw technique to master, and yet he had already mastered it to such a sophisticated and ruthless level. I can't help but feel that even you, the creator of the technique, wouldn't have achieved this level!"

Yin Tianzheng also couldn't help but sigh: "Master's talent is truly unimaginable, a rare martial arts prodigy that has not appeared in the martial arts world for hundreds of years! However, it's not surprising that Master has reached the state of martial arts enlightenment at such a young age, and in just a few short days has managed to cultivate the Eagle Claw technique to such a high level."

"Indeed, indeed, the extraordinary things on an extraordinary person are not ordinary."

Wei Yixiao privately stuck out his tongue in envy, saying with admiration.

Having gained the advantage, Li Xiu did not pause, and charged towards He Biweng, who had just stumbled and retreated a few steps, for another attack.

Under the threat of death, He Biweng, who had lived for many years as a demon, still managed to endure the pain and use a Xuanming Divine Palm to defend himself against Li Xiu.

In his desperation, He Biweng had made up his mind that as long as this move forced Li Xiu to retreat slightly, he would immediately turn and escape.

The princess Zhao Min and the anger of the Prince of Ruyang chasing after him were all nonsense!

He did not want to face the leader of the Ming Cult, Li Xiu, again for the rest of his life!

At a distance of only a few feet, Li Xiu could clearly see the crazed desire to retreat on He Biweng's face, and would not give him the opportunity.

Li Xiu used the flow of his pure Nine Yang True Qi to forcefully receive the Xuanming Divine Palm, dispersing its violent internal force and then fiercely grabbing He Biweng's wrist.

"Crack!"

Under He Biweng's desperate and unwilling gaze, Li Xiu struck fiercely with his palm, neatly breaking He Biweng's remaining arm, which flipped downward as the white joint bones broke through the skin and flesh.

Before He Biweng could even cry out in pain, Li Xiu lightly swept his palm across He Biweng's forehead, causing his screams to turn into two low, short gasps as he fell backward, lifeless.

In just a few dozen breaths of time, the two old Xuanming Elders had died at Li Xiu's hands without even flipping a single wave.

Li Xiu ignored the unanimous praises of the Cult members and walked straight to the pavilion, issuing an order to Wei Yixiao,

"Bat King, take the cult members and clear out all the other Yuan soldiers in this mountain village, not leaving a single one!"

Wei Yixiao accepted the orders and led some of the cult members out of the courtyard.

He first walked towards the entrance of the mountain village, still thinking about the lives of those rude and arrogant gate guards.

A short while later, a clever cult member brought a copper basin of water, and after Li Xiu washed his hands of the blood stains, he sat in the pavilion and looked at Zhao Min, who was kneeling in front of him, his expression cold and emotionless.

Yin Tianzheng stood to the side and couldn't help thinking that although the Leader was usually kind and gracious to everyone, as soon as it involved the affairs of the Mongol Yuan dynasty, he seemed like a different person.

It seemed that the Leader hated the Mongol Yuan dynasty not just because of the discontent of the people, but also because of some strong personal grudge.

However, as his subordinate, it would be rude for Yin Tianzheng to ask about it if the Leader did not bring it up himself.

"Zhao Min, are you going to wait until you suffer before you speak and tell us where you have detained the members of the Six Great Sects?"

Ying Tianzheng snapped back to attention and focused on the matter at hand, repeatedly asking Zhao Min to reveal the location of the Six Great Sects' detention, but Zhao Min remained stubborn and unresponsive.

Zhao Min knew that she had caused great trouble and that her situation was perilous and out of her control.

If she had quietly and secretly captured the main forces of the Six Great Sects, it would have intimidated the smaller factions and been a great accomplishment for the entire Mongol Yuan dynasty.

However, she had only captured some of the members of the Six Great Sects, allowing more to escape and leaving a great enemy for the Mongol Yuan dynasty to deal with.

Now, rumors are spreading everywhere in the martial arts world that the Mongol Yuan dynasty is planning to deal with the entire martial arts world, causing everyone to become paranoid and the situation to become complex and unpredictable.

If she had launched another strong attack with thunderous force, it would have completely scared off the bravery of the smaller factions and made up for her mistakes.

However, those smaller factions, once inspired and consolidated by someone with a motive, would become a powerful force that could even directly threaten the safety of the Mongol Yuan dynasty.

Zhao Min needed to quickly suppress this trend, so she quickly set her sights on the leader of the Ming Cult.

Currently, there are frequent uprisings throughout the Mongol Yuan dynasty, and the one that has caused the dynasty the most headaches for a long time is the tens of thousands of followers of the Ming Cult scattered throughout the world.

If she could conquer the leader of the Ming Cult and subdue the tens of thousands of followers, not only would she solve a major problem for the Mongol Yuan dynasty, but she could also use the Ming Cult to intimidate the martial arts world and eliminate a potential threat for the dynasty.

Unfortunately, before she could even secretly ask the new leader of the Ming Cult about their attitude towards the Mongol Yuan dynasty, she was already recognized.

On the day that the six major sects besieged Bright Summit, the new head of the Ming sect had always claimed that Cheng Kun had surrendered to the court, but she knew nothing else.

Today, not only did he recognize her identity, but it seemed that he had already known about the Green Willow Manor and the fake Yitian Sword that was hidden there, which even Cheng Kun was unaware of.

What frightened her even more was that she had thought that no matter how formidable their martial arts skills, the two elders Xuanming, would be able to protect her completely, but the two of them lost their lives in the hands of Li Xiu without even lasting a hundred moves.

Ignoring Yin Tianzheng's threatening questioning, Li Xiu simply waved his hand, indicating for Yin Tianzheng to stop.

''If you really can't get the answer, forget it, it's no big deal.''

Li Xiu didn't care at all where the six major sects were being held, he had planned from the beginning to use Zhao Min to threaten Ru Yang to send the people of the six major sects here, saving himself other troubles.

''Eagle King, draft a letter on my behalf explaining the reasons and interests behind this, divide it into six copies and send it quickly to the six major sects, letting them send people here to support us.''

''To save their sect's people, out of both emotion and reason, how can they do it without paying some price!''

A cold light flashed in Li Xiu's eyes as he spoke to Yin Tianzheng.
