At this moment, as Li Changfeng and Zhou Zhiruo were traveling at breakneck speed, Zhou Zhiruo asked thoughtfully, "Jue Kong! May I ask you a question?"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "Go ahead and ask!"
"Um... what exactly is your relationship with Princess Minmin?"
After a moment of contemplation, Li Changfeng said, "Well, we are enemies and friends at the same time. I actually admire her quite a bit. She is top-notch in both talent and strength. If we weren't enemies, we would be very good friends!"
"Oh! So that's how it is! Then... then do you have any other feelings involved?" Zhou Zhiruo hesitated for a moment, but still asked through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave her a deep look and sighed, "No! What can a monk like me do?"
Zhou Zhiruo heard a silence and thought to herself, "Yes! Senior Brother Jue Kong! He is a monk from Shaolin Temple, who is supposed to be pure of heart and detached from worldly affairs. He has no such thoughts at all. I am also bound by strict rules, so I will not have a good outcome!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiruo felt a mix of emotions and became very depressed. With a melancholy expression, she followed Li Changfeng's steps into the Shaolin Temple.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng sighed inwardly, thinking, "There's nothing I can do! I also want to win the heart of a beauty, but the rules of Shaolin Temple are too strict. It's impossible to do such a thing. Once you do something, it's too difficult to turn back. I can't hold her back!"
Suddenly, Li Changfeng and his companion heard a commotion coming from the direction of the Red Dust Hall. They rushed over to see what was happening and found that many unfamiliar forces, along with some officials from the Imperial Court and monks from Shaolin Temple, were engaged in a fierce battle.
Upon seeing this, the two rushed over to check. Li Changfeng shouted, "Who are you! How dare you trespass into the Shaolin Scripture Repository!"
Upon hearing this, the masked men in black from the unfamiliar group sneered, "What does a mere Shaolin disciple have to do with me? He's practically asking for death!"
At this moment, Juehai, Golden Arhat, and Dong Tianbao were overjoyed to see Li Changfeng arrive. "Jue Kong, you've come at just the right time! These people who sneaked into Shaolin during the chaos are here to steal Shaolin's martial arts techniques. We can't let them succeed!"
They were seen tightly entangled with a masked grandmaster, whose body was covered in injuries, yet he still blocked them from taking another step.
Other grandmasters and elders tried to stop them, while disciples from the Subduing Dragon Hall and Subduing Tiger Hall held off some members of the Imperial Court sects. They fought fiercely, their blood splattering everywhere and flowing like a river. The situation was extremely critical!
At this moment, several unknown outside disciples suddenly rushed out of the Scripture Repository. They were covered in blood and held several Shaolin martial arts Jade Scroll in their hands. They exclaimed with great joy, "Hahaha! These bald monks are really tough to deal with. We finally managed to snatch a few useful martial arts Jade Scroll!"
Seeing this, Li Changfeng flew into a rage and roared, "You're all courting death!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng suddenly made a move, his true energy erupted, and he struck out with a palm, which transformed into a golden domineering palm print of fifty, crushing towards the few unknown outsiders. Wherever it passed, the air was filled with bursts of air explosions, and its power was extremely fierce!
The visiting disciples were shocked. Before the terrifying palm strike even landed, a violent and domineering force suppressed them, rendering them unable to move or even dodge. They could only endure the palm strike.
Juehai was startled upon seeing this and shouted, "Jue Kong!! Have you forgotten something?"
Juehai's loud shout was like a wake-up call, instantly waking Li Changfeng from his rage. He withdrew his hand, and the domineering golden palm print suddenly transformed into streams of true energy and disappeared into the air.
He then made another move, using the second move of the Shaolin Dragon Grasp, "Telekinetic Capture." Li Changfeng's hands stirred up a thick, pale golden true energy, which condensed into a pale golden dragon claw fifty feet in size.
It swiftly grabbed those people, and their bodies seemed completely out of their control, as if they weren't even their own, as they were forcibly pulled into the sky.
Li Changfeng suddenly leaped up and instantly arrived beside them. He suddenly attacked, his hands forming dragon claws, and fiercely tore at their limbs, producing a series of tearing and hissing sounds. Then, he suddenly crushed their True Qi Seed.
He slammed them hard to the ground, where they screamed in agony, their blood slowly flowing everywhere. Li Changfeng then unleashed several bursts of true energy.
They pressed on their acupoints, sealing them and stopping the gushing blood, preventing them from dying right there.
Then, Li Changfeng drew the martial arts techniques into his hand and put them in his robes. He then said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Zhiruo! Do me a favor and kill these guys!"
Without hesitation, Zhou Zhiruo drew her sword and slit the throats of the men, killing them instantly. Although she didn't understand why Li Changfeng Zhou Zhiruo to do this, she did it because Li Changfeng had ordered her to.
"Qi'er!!!"
The masked man in black who was fighting Juehai and the other two saw Li Changfeng kill them and his face was filled with shock, anger and sorrow.
At this moment, he glared at Li Changfeng with a furious expression and shouted, "Bastard! You deserve to die!"
After saying that, he ignored Juehai and the others, and suddenly transformed into a blur, rushing towards Li Changfeng. He unleashed both palms simultaneously, condensing a stream of black true energy in his palms, and slammed them fiercely towards Li Changfeng's crown, with extremely imposing power!
Seeing this, Li Changfeng sneered, "You think I'm afraid of you? What a joke!"
Li Changfeng unleashed his full power, activating the Draconic Elephant Prajna. His palms condensed a domineering Draconic Elephant True Qi, and behind him appeared the awe-inspiring power of seven dragons and seven elephants.
He thrust out both palms simultaneously, rising to meet the masked master's fierce palm strikes head-on, displaying extremely violent power.
"Bang"!!
A violent explosion rang out as the two men's palms clashed violently, unleashing a powerful shockwave that erupted from their hands. The masked master felt an astonishingly violent force.
The surging force violently struck him, and the masked master's arm bones snapped with a crack. He was thrown into the air, coughing up a mouthful of blood, already severely injured.
Li Changfeng sneered, "Pathetic!"
This lowest-level grandmaster was no match for Li Changfeng; he could easily inflict serious injury on him.
Upon Juehai's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly transformed into a blur, rushing towards the masked grandmaster. He arrived beside the grandmaster abruptly, his palm condensing a powerful golden true energy, which he slammed down on the grandmaster's crown.
His head exploded from the blow, splattering out a stream of white and red blood. The masked master was thus killed by Juehai's sneak attack with a single palm strike.
