Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 173 - 124: Striking Like Thunder! Broken Spine, Shattered Bones!

After Su Que arrived, everyone headed together toward Minsheng Temple.

Elder Dan Yang led the way, with the others following behind.

Since Minsheng Temple had been remodeled from Purple Sun Temple, where the Observatory Master resided, it was likely also where the Abbot of Minsheng Temple lived.

And since Elder Dan Yang was most familiar with Purple Sun Temple, he naturally took the lead.

They leaped over the outer wall of Minsheng Temple, entering the temple one by one.

As it was already deep into the night, the temple was quite silent.

All the monks were in their rooms and had not come out.

Su Que and the others were not lacking in Lightweight Skill, transforming into six dark shadows, swiftly moving along the dark corridor.

Before long, they came upon a very secluded and elegant courtyard.

This was the courtyard built by Elder Dan Yang when he was the Observatory Master.

However, it had been slightly modified by craftsmen, with the Taoist concepts in the architectural style completely transformed into Zen concepts.

In front of the courtyard door, there were two strong monks, holding sticks as they stood guard.

Qiu Yu suddenly brushed his waist, holding two Flying Locust Stones between his fingers.

With a flick of his wrist, the two stones shot out fiercely, striking the acupuncture points on the necks of the two monks.

The two monks immediately fainted, collapsing to the ground.

Qiu Yu and Elder Dan Yang swiftly stepped forward, grabbed the monks by their collars, and seized their sticks.

Then they gently placed the monks and sticks on the ground.

After doing all this, the others quietly and silently moved past the bodies of the two monks, heading into the courtyard.

...

Monk Fa Jie sat cross-legged on a mat, practicing Breathing Technique.

Although it was the hour of the rat, he was still diligently practicing Inner Strength.

He had achieved the Martial Arts Realm of Sixteen Meridians and refined the Great Compassion Staff Technique to a masterful level.

He became a Martial Monk at Liang Kingdom's first-rate Great Buddha Temple, not through innate talent, but by tireless training day and night! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Sometimes, he even replaced his nighttime sleep with practice.

His Zen Stick stood quietly leaning against the wall.

Suddenly, his eyelid slightly twitched.

Because a tiny sound reached his ears.

It seemed like the sound of thin paper tearing.

His heart tensed, and he immediately opened his eyes.

Indeed, he saw a finger poking through the paper of his door, then retreat, revealing an eye.

Although Elder Dan Yang had determined Monk Fa Jie lived in the courtyard,

the courtyard contained nine rooms, requiring them to search each one.

"Who!"

Monk Fa Jie shouted loudly, then fiercely used strength with his crossed legs.

His body shot up from the mat like Dry Land Onion Pulling, leaping next to his Zen Stick in an instant.

His large palm, like a fan, immediately grabbed the Zen Stick.

The rings on the stick rattled, emitting a metallic clanging sound.

At this moment, Monk Fa Jie was too urgent to wear shoes, standing barefoot.

His feet, longer than the average person's, suddenly stamped on the ground.

The stone slabs beneath his feet instantly shattered.

He hurled himself outside!

The one peeping outside his room was indeed Elder Dan Yang.

Seeing Monk Fa Jie inside, his heart slightly startled, he retreated while signaling others over.

Crash!

But at this time, Monk Fa Jie's tall form had shattered the door, bursting through the flying wooden fragments, leaping out.

He gripped his staff with both hands, and struck fiercely at Elder Dan Yang, who was retreating!

Great Compassion Staff Technique, Compassionate Cry for Heaven and Earth!

Immediately, the massive and heavy Zen Stick tore through the surrounding air, letting out a wailing sound.

Monk Fa Jie's Body Technique was faster, and the Zen Stick longer than Elder Dan Yang's reach.

At that moment, Elder Dan Yang couldn't retreat quickly enough and fell within the strike range of Monk Fa Jie's Zen Stick.

As Monk Fa Jie wielded his staff, Elder Dan Yang felt a pressing air hitting his face, even causing his eyes to blur for a moment.

With the Zen Stick approaching, Elder Dan Yang, having no options, braced himself, mustered all his True Qi, and concentrated it on his palms.

Performing "Myriad Qi Returning to the Origin" from Guiyuan Hand, he pushed both palms forward, attempting to block the Zen Stick.

Bam!

Monk Fa Jie's Zen Stick struck solidly against Elder Dan Yang's palms.

The True Qi on Elder Dan Yang's palms scattered immediately, and his hand bones cracked.

The power sent Elder Dan Yang flying like a stone!

His body crashed into a rockery, shattering the stones on impact.

Then his entire body fell to the ground, fresh blood gushing from his mouth, staining his white beard crimson.

Monk Fa Jie was about to finish off Elder Dan Yang when the others arrived in response to the commotion.

He glimpsed at the approaching figures and counted four people.

While his heart tensed, he was not afraid!

He had heard from Li Tunshan about the strengths of the experts from Jiannan Prefecture City, knowing his own Martial Arts Realm was the highest in Jiannan Prefecture City.

The so-called experts of Jiannan Prefecture City couldn't kill him at all!

He grasped the Zen Stick with both hands, waving it around!

Great Compassion Staff Technique, Lamenting Spring and Sorrowing Autumn!

The Zen Stick, infused with Vigorous Qi, formed an impenetrable shield around him.

Centered on him, gusts of strong wind swept outward in all directions.

His feet moved with the subtle "Wandering Dragon Step," both protecting himself and tracing an arc, swiftly moving toward Elder Dan Yang.

He intended to kill the old Daoist first, then eliminate the others.

Li Xuanji, being the closest to Elder Dan Yang, arrived first.

In his hand was a special-purpose saber for nighttime actions.

The blade, made from special Profound Iron, was dark and did not reflect light at night.
