Investigation, Part 2

Kong Xiang, who was inside the main hall, threw away the grapes in his hand and stood up.

"Someone, go and fetch Yuan Ying and Yuan Hong. Let's see who's so bold as to cause trouble at my Sea Gazing Temple!"

He didn't care at all, and wasn't worried about the strength or number of the people who broke into the temple.

Because no matter who you are, there is only one outcome in front of him.

That is death.

"Yes, Abbot."

The monks guarding the entrance to the main hall quickly bowed their heads in response.

One of them quickly jogged to the Backyard to find the two Protector.

Sea Gazing Temple has many skilled fighters, all of whom are criminals who came here in a short period of time to escape punishment and join the temple.

Most of these people are between the Entering the Ranks and Ninth Grade.

Twelve Guardians were formed within the temple.

These Twelve Guardians refer to the twelve vicious and wicked monks of Sea Gazing Temple.

Aside from the Twelve Guardians, the two Yuan Brothers are the strongest.

These two men followed Kong Xiang to Citong. They were true masters of the Super Grade. It was rumored that the two brothers Innate Giant Strength and robust physiques, possessing the power of Dragon Elephant! As a result, the two have always been Kong Xiang's most capable assistants.

At this moment, at the junction of the Inner Courtyard, two giant men, their bodies bronze and resembling bronze figures, rushed out and headed towards the front courtyard where the incident had occurred.

One of the two men had his back hunched over like a tortoise, and he held a thick Zen staff.

The other person's earlobes drooped, resembling those of the Buddha.

It was the Yuan brothers Yuan Ying Yuan Hong, who had just heard the commotion and rushed over after pulling up their pants.

The two still carried the scent of a woman's Scented Powder. Upon arriving at the front yard, they saw groups of masked men in black fighting with the Martial Monks.

Both sides had their wins and losses.

The corpses lying on the ground included even slightly more Martial Monks.

Among the Black-Clad Man, one man moved with the ease of a stroll, his movements swift and agile. He could kill even the most resistant Martial Monks with a single strike.

The resistance from the dozens of people in the front yard was steadily shifting under this man's intervention.

This person was none other than Zhang Yunqi, the Rebel Sect who had led the team.

"A bunch of sons of bitches, daring to ruin the Buddha's good deed!" Yuan Ying immediately gripped his monk's staff and strode towards the man.

The two brothers were originally disciples of Hermit in the mountains, but they couldn't bear the hardship of cultivation in the mountains and ran down to the foot of the mountain.

Later, the two men, indulging in lust, accidentally killed the daughter of a local official, and were forced to flee.

Two years after being wanted, their strength increased dramatically, and they encountered Kong Xiang, who came out of seclusion and subdued them.

Upon learning of the two men's crimes, Kong Xiang immediately waved his hand and led them to the official's house, where he exterminated the entire family of over forty people.

From that time on, the two men were completely convinced of Kong Xiang and followed him around.

At this moment, Yuan Ying took a step forward and swung his staff forcefully at Zhang Yunqi.

Clang! The staff was rebounded by a tremendous force and almost slipped from his grasp.

Yuan Ying was horrified. She suddenly unleashed her White Ape Body Control Art, and her two-meter-tall body rolled backward and dodged like a nimble ape.

This allowed them to avoid Zhang Yunqi's follow-up attack.

"Brother, I'm here to help you!" Yuan Hong roared from the side. He used the same White Ape Body Control Art.

He had already reached the pinnacle of his Internal Method. Now, unleashing his full power, he was like a nimble ape, striking Zhang Yunqi with a series of palm strikes.

Those Black-Clad Man were even slightly closer were all knocked aside by his body and coughed up blood.

The smooth white brick and stone slabs on the ground were cracked by the force of each heavy step.

Zhang Yunqi sighed softly, and suddenly unleashed his Eight Trigrams Iron Heart Palm technique. The palm strike was sometimes fierce, sometimes light, and sometimes heavy, always delivering the most appropriate force at the most opportune moment.

At the same time, Yuan Ying, who was standing to the side, once again took up his monk's staff and joined his brother in the attack.

As brothers, the two seemed to often join forces, but when they attacked together, their coordination was surprisingly good, and they displayed a strength far greater than that of one person alone.

One person's mistake is promptly covered by another.

One person's weakness is quickly covered up by another.

With all four arms attacking together, the force is immense.

Bang!

Zhang Yunqi met the attack head-on once again, and the Yuan Brothers roared in unison, unleashing their power.

It was so powerful that his palms trembled and his body staggered back several steps.

"You're asking for death!" Finally, his eyes became bloodshot, and his muscles swelled, enlarged, and turned red.

His palms seemed to have grown larger as well.

'Limit State: Flying Torrent!'

In an instant, Zhang Yunqi suddenly pulled his hands back, then struck out, then pulled them back again, and then struck out again!

Within a second, he unleashed two attacks.

Both moves are executed with the same full force, pushing the limit -Breaking Limit Skill to its Limit State.

When the Limit State is activated, the power of the Eight Trigrams Iron Heart Palm increases dramatically, creating two strange and intricate trajectories that strike the shoulders of the Yuan Brothers on the spot.

Two muffled thuds.

The Yuan Brothers simultaneously activated their Limit State and withstood the two blows.

Strangely, the two of them endured the pain, but only trembled and bled from the corners of their mouths. They moved their shoulders, but it didn't have much effect.

"Again!!" Yuan Hong wiped the blood from his mouth, grinned maliciously, and pounced on the enemy again.

A faint Silver Spirit Thread flashed across the wound on his injured shoulder.

Yuan Ying, standing to the side, looked exactly the same.

These two were actually Worship God Warriors! And they seemed to be Worship God Warriors specializing in Hard Skill! After Zhang Yunqi unleashed his power, he didn't even have time to dodge before the two brothers roared and charged in, launching a fierce attack.

The three of them were locked in a fierce battle, unable to gain the upper hand.

But this time, he was clearly outmatched.

His recent burst of energy has caused his already aging body to rapidly decline.

After all, he's getting old and can't compare to his younger days. He can have a burst of energy for a while, but his performance will quickly decline.

At their age, he originally intended to finish them off quickly. However, he didn't expect that these two Hard Skills; he was only injured, not rendered unable to fight.

They are currently in each other's hands.

Suddenly, a ball of Crimson Powder was splashed and scattered from Yuan Ying's hand.

The powder instantly covered Zhang Yunqi's head.

He closed his eyes and stepped back in time, avoiding being hit.

But on the other side, a figure appeared. Yuan Hong took the opportunity to approach and threw a punch at his waist with all his might.

Zhang Yunqi snorted coldly, not even looking to his side, he lowered his body, and his elbow sank down, striking Yuan Hong squarely on the back of the fist.

Bang! The two men's elbows collided, ready to explode at any moment.

"Let's cripple this old bastard together!!" Yuan Ying roared, his blood rushing through his body, his muscles swelling again, and the veins on his face bulging.

His younger brother, Yuan Hong, is the same.

His body also grew larger, with his arms being particularly prominent, the muscles bulging out as if he were inflating.

The two bowed simultaneously, assuming a starting stance.

An indescribable pricking sensation suddenly made Zhang Yunqi's scalp tingle and his hair stand on end.

He took a deep breath and held it.

The Limit State remains active.

"The Second Limit State!?"

The air grew increasingly heavy, and the sounds of fighting and slaughter around us seemed to vanish into the distance.

It made it almost impossible for Zhang Yunqi to hear.

He could only hear his own heartbeat and the fierce, tiger-like eyes of the Yuan Brothers.

That strike... whoosh!

In an instant, two figures shot out like cannonballs.

The ground cracked open step by step, sending stones flying, Further Progress accelerating the two's speed.

This sprint has completely surpassed human limits!

The Yuan Brothers' legs were cracked, their skin split open, their flesh torn, and blood was flowing out.

But they didn't care about the damage to their bodies, and unleashed their full speed, launching a combined attack on Zhang Yunqi.

Sprint, sprint, sprint!

Then he throws a punch!! "Dual Aspect Dragon Spine!!"

Bang!

A tiny splash of blood.

The two of them passed through Zhang Yunqi in an instant, forming a straight X.

Zhang Yunqi's body trembled, and he swayed, almost losing his balance.

He lowered his head, looking at his trembling arms, and a metallic taste slowly rose in his throat.

With just one combined attack, he was actually injured. At this moment, the Yuan Brothers turned around, their wounds on their hands and feet had healed, and the two of them grinned at Zhang Yunqi again.

"You're actually a Three Voids Expert, but it doesn't matter. You're not the only Three Voids expert who died at the hands of us brothers."

Yuan Ying licked the blood off her fingers.

Zhang Yunqi turned around and stared intently at the two of them.

He hadn't expected that Sea Gazing Temple would possess such formidable martial power; the Western Sect was indeed far superior to any other force.

No wonder they are a top-tier force capable of destroying the Eastern Sect.

Looking at the two of them, he shook his sleeves, his expression regaining its composure.

Well, since the judgment was wrong, it's only right to pay the price.

Such is the nature of fighting and combat. He fought his whole life, killing far too many people, and in the end, he died at the hands of others. Perhaps this was retribution.

It's a pity, though. It's a pity we can't see what the future holds for Zhenhai and the others. Seeing the two brothers assume the Dual Aspect Dragon Spine stance again, Zhang Yunqi knew he couldn't withstand the second attack.

The muscles in his arms had been torn by the impact. If it happened again, he would probably die.

He opened his mouth, ready to order all the Rebel Sect present to leave.

The situation has deteriorated to the point of no return.

The Yuan Brothers bowed again, preparing to exert their strength.

Buzz.

Buzz.

Suddenly, a vibration came from outside.

What was that sound?!

The two had a bad feeling. They turned their heads sharply in the direction from which the tremor was coming.

Boom! In an instant, the wall to their right exploded.

Countless pebbles flew and bricks shattered, raining down on the two like hidden weapons.

In the Stone Rain.

A Giant Figure, clad in black armor and wearing a horned Helmet, pounded the ground with each step, charging towards the two like a savage beast.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The heavily armored humanoid figure, nearly three meters tall and weighing over 500 kilograms, crashed into the two of them with a deafening roar.

"What!!?"

The Yuan Brothers turned around in shock, but it was too late. The dust and debris had obscured their vision, and by the time they could see the other person, the other person was already too close!

The two only had time to throw punches and collide with each other in an attempt to avoid being knocked away and losing their balance, thus revealing a fatal flaw.

Boom! The immense impact carried the Yuan Brothers across the battlefield, knocking away two fighting Martial Monks, before crashing into the other side of the temple wall.

The wall cracked again, revealing two clear cracks and pits.

The Bull-Horned Black Armor slowly straightened up and released the two corpses whose skeletons had been completely shattered.

A long breath of hot air escaped from the face beneath the Helmet.

"I'll take over from now on." He turned around and looked at Zhang Yunqi, whose face was pale.

"I want everyone to see what price they will pay for daring to provoke me in Citong!"

"Young Master." Zhang Yunqi suppressed the pain in his chest and stared intently at the other person. For a moment, something long dormant within him seemed to awaken anew.
