Although the Beggars' Sect has become decadent and corrupt, its combat strength is not bad. It has recruited many evil masters, and those who can become leaders all have Super-First-Rate cultivation.
Therefore, the nearly one hundred people present were Super-First-Rate experts. With such cultivation, they naturally possessed keen eyesight. To be able to repel the full-force attack of the four elders with a single blow, the opponent's fist technique must have been at least at the Half-step Innate level, or even possibly a true Innate skill.
No martial artist is uninterested in powerful martial arts, let alone such a supreme technique that requires at least Half-step Innate Realm. This almost drives them crazy.
With this mindset, upon being called upon by the four elders, they immediately attacked Wang Hao without hesitation, each strike employing a deadly move.
Compared to the upright and honorable Beggars' Sect ' Sect during the Song Dynasty, the Beggars' Sect members today are much more despicable, with almost everyone resorting to underhanded methods.
Countless poisoned Hidden Weapon shot out, most of them aimed at Wang Hao's lower body, and one person even used his true energy to scatter a bag of lime powder.
This wasn't the end of it. The four Beggars' Sect elders, having caught their breath, endured the pain and blended into the crowd, preparing to strike at any opportunity.
" The Beggars' Sect is truly beyond saving now!"
Looking at those despicable and insidious methods, Wang Hao sighed, and instead of using the Ziwei Soft Sword at his waist, he threw another punch.
It's the Imperial Dragon Divine Fist Dragon Divine Art God Technique!
After all, he is currently using the pseudonym Zhu Yanzu, who is impersonating a member of the Zhu imperial family, so naturally he has to learn some martial arts unique to the Da Ming imperial family.
It just so happens that he obtained the first draft of the Dragon Divine Art from his wife, Dongfang Bai. Although he did not directly cultivate the Dragon Divine Art, he did cultivate the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Instruction, which incorporated a part of the Dragon Divine Art's internal energy, the Nine Dragons Art, not to mention that it also incorporated the Nine Yang Divine Art, the predecessor of the Nine Dragons Art.
Therefore, he was able to unleash a portion of the power of the Dragon Divine Art Technique!
As for the fist technique used, the Imperial Dragon Divine Fist, it is an external martial arts style, which is not difficult for a strong person like Wang Hao who mainly cultivates external martial arts.
Even without actively cultivating it, the power of the Imperial Dragon Divine Fist is no less than that of a master of the same level who has reached the Peak Perfection of this fist technique.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang, the creator of the Dragon Divine Art, were standing right in front of him, he might not be able to see the flaws in Wang Hao's use of the Dragon Divine Art.
In addition, another reason is that the Imperial Dragon Divine Fist is an external martial art, which is perfect for Wang Hao to unleash his divine strength.
With an added 300,000 jin of power, even Half-step Innate level expert would have to temporarily avoid its edge.
After all, even the High Person Longxiang, who was once known as the Number One Under Innate, after cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art and possessing extraordinary talent, only had a strength of 100,000 jin at the Peak Grandmaster.
A force of 300,000 jin far exceeds the limits of Grandmaster, making it perfectly suited for combat.
Of course, the main reason for not using the Ziwei Soft Sword is that these people are all too weak.
His primary goal in using the sword against enemies at the Mount Heng Sword Sect was to accelerate his progress in developing True Spirit Sword Intent; even the improvement of the Impermanence Swordsmanship was secondary.
At his current level, only immense pressure can drive him to make progress.
The pressure from the five Grandmaster -level experts of the Mount Heng Sword Sect when they were fighting desperately was manageable, but the pressure from the Beggars' Sect Clan was far too much.
Do we really need a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
Although the Beggars' Sect' Sect has a large and powerful force with an absolute advantage in numbers, it is far inferior in quality.
As Wang Hao threw a punch, the countless Hidden Weapon that were shooting towards him were blown back by the force of his punch before they could even get close.
"Aaaaaahhhhhh..."
Countless pitiful screams rang out. The Beggars' Sect members, who were preparing to launch a second wave of attacks, did not expect that their Hidden Weapon would be pulled back. Caught off guard, most of them were injured and screamed in agony.
" Wang Mazi, this is your cursed dart! Quickly bring me the antidote!"
"Who used the Bone-Piercing Nail? Bring Laozi the antidote right now!"
Shouts and curses rose and fell, and those who had been hit by the Hidden Weapon all changed color and hurriedly searched for the owner of the Hidden Weapon to ask for the antidote.
Ninety-nine percent of the Hidden Weapon they unleashed were coated with highly poisonous substances; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they would kill instantly upon contact with blood. At this moment, they were only using their internal energy to forcibly suppress the spread of the poison, but they couldn't hold out for long.
If we don't get the antidote, we're probably doomed.
This immediately threw the scene into chaos, and everyone could no longer focus on attacking Wang Hao. The four elders hiding in the shadows were filled with rage and cursed him as a good-for-nothing.
Some clever ones, seeing this situation, quietly headed towards the main gate, intending to slip away, but were blocked by Martial Uncle Zhang Yi at the gate.
Although Zhang Yi was terrified of Wang Hao, he was, after all, a Grandmaster- level expert. Even though he couldn't use the Mount Heng Sword Sect's sword techniques for the sake of secrecy, he still managed to completely block the entrance with some ordinary sword techniques thanks to his powerful cultivation.
"That little beast wants to wipe us all out! Let's fight him!"
The four Beggars' Sect elders, hidden in the crowd, exchanged glances, then ruthlessly rushed out to attack Wang Hao once again.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
With a cold expression, Wang Hao clenched his fist and raised his right arm again, ready to throw a punch.
Before he could make a move, the four Beggars' Sect elders suddenly flashed past Wang Hao with incredible speed and rushed towards the entrance of the hall, seemingly intending to escape.
Having already clashed with Wang Hao, how could they dare to risk their lives against him!
This being is far beyond their ability to deal with.
The four elders exchanged glances again, and seeing that the other three also wanted to back down, they cursed the old fox in their hearts and reached a tacit agreement once more, launching a full-scale attack on Zhang Yi, who was blocking the doorway.
Although the four of them couldn't defeat Wang Hao, the person at the door was about equal to them, and the four of them working together were enough to break through smoothly.
Once they left the hall, the four of them would immediately scatter and escape, greatly increasing their chances of survival.
Having just dealt with two Beggars' Sect leaders who were trying to escape, Zhang Yi's expression immediately changed when he saw all four Beggars' Sect elders rushing over. He instinctively wanted to retreat, but after seeing Wang Hao in the hall and recalling his junior nephew Liu Zhengfeng's words, he hesitated for a moment and then resolutely continued to block the doorway.
However, he didn't dare to be careless. He decisively sheathed his longsword and prepared to use his Sword Release Instruction to hold off the four people for a moment.
"Clang!"
A sharp sword aura slashed out, instantly shattering the attacks of the three Beggars' Sect elders, but the remaining one could not withstand it no matter what.
The long-bearded old man, who had dodged the sword energy of the Sword Release Instruction, sneered and stepped forward, his steel claws aimed directly at Zhang Yi's vitals. The claws gleamed with an eerie light, clearly coated with a deadly poison.
If someone gets caught like that, even if it's not in a vital area, they'll likely have a very slim chance of survival.
However, Zhang Yi was someone Wang Hao had brought with him, so how could he let him perish here? But just as he was about to take action, his expression changed.
A sharp finger strike shot out from behind, aimed directly at the long-bearded elder wielding a steel claw.
Sensing the deadly threat behind him, the long-bearded elder glared resentfully at Zhang Yi, who was about to be killed by him, but in the end he could only turn around helplessly and swing his claws to shatter the attacking finger force.
After recovering slightly, Zhang Yi adjusted his state, preparing to guard against the four elders of the Beggars' Sect making another move.
At the same time, a figure suddenly flashed out from the hall and blocked Zhang Yi's way—it was Wang Hao!
He also knew that it would be difficult for Zhang Yi alone to hold off all four Beggars' Sect elders. After all, the gate to the Beggars' Sect's Hall of Righteousness was quite large, a full three zhang wide, and it would be difficult for one person to completely seal it off.
Fortunately, the Hall of Gathering Righteousness had a unique structure, probably a place used by the Beggars' Sect' Sect to discuss confidential matters. Apart from that one large door, there were no windows or other exits.
Therefore, as long as we block the gate, those inside will have no chance of escaping.
Seeing Wang Hao blocking the doorway, the four elders all wore expressions of despair and madness. They then turned to look behind them, roaring ferociously, " Xie Feng!"
They saw it clearly: that finger strike was the King of Hell Finger that Xie Feng had cultivated. In other words, it was Xie Feng, the Beggars' Sect Clan leader they had personally promoted, who had cut off their chance of survival.
How could they not be driven to madness and resentment?
Wang Hao looked curiously at Xie Feng, who had stood up from the main seat, and became somewhat interested in this person.
In Old Master Jin's novels, when Linghu Chong led unorthodox masters to attack Shaolin Temple to rescue Ren Yingying, Shaolin Temple invited Xie Feng, and they seemed to be acquainted. Being able to have a relationship with the Fangzhang of Shaolin, his character must be quite good.
The information about the Beggars' Sect' Sect that Liu Zhengfeng had given him earlier had frightened him so much that he was somewhat unclear about Xie Feng's character.
After all, this is a real world, and movies and TV shows can only show a part of the story; they are not 100% real, so anything is possible.
Judging from what just happened, this characterization of Xie Feng seems to be more in line with the original work by Old Master Jin.
" Elder Wang, Elder Zhang, Elder Tan, Elder Sikong, although you didn't have good intentions in putting me in this position of gang leader, I still want to express my gratitude. However, I would like to invite the four elders to stay in the Gathering Hall today."
As he stood up, Xie Feng removed his cloak, revealing a tight-fitting outfit. He exuded murderous intent, clearly intending to kill the four elders.
As an upright person, he naturally had the idea of restoring the Beggars' Sect' Sect to its former glory and setting things right, but unfortunately he had almost no foundation and could hardly stop this trend.
He had long wanted to get rid of these four old men, but he wasn't confident he could do it. In addition, these four old men threatened his family, so he could only endure it.
But tonight, such a golden opportunity has presented itself; how could he possibly let it slip by?
Even if it can't restore order to the Beggars' Sect' Sect, it can at least eliminate the threat these four old men pose to his family.
"You little beast, I should have listened to Old Wu and killed you back then!"
The old man, known as Elder Wang, twisted his face and glared at Xie Feng with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
The other three elders were in similar states, all glaring at Xie Feng with ferocious expressions, wishing they could devour him alive.
Inside the Hall of Righteousness, as the numerous leaders gradually exchanged antidotes to cure their poisoning, they also glared menacingly at Xie Feng, their killing intent palpable.
"Since this young master has come to our door in this manner, he must intend to destroy my Beggars' Sect' Sect. I do not ask that you spare my life, but only that you take my wife Xiufang and daughter away afterward so that they can live out their lives in peace. In return, Xiufang will give you the secret King of Hell Finger, the Yama Finger. What do you say, young master?"
Xie Feng ignored the people inside the Hall of Righteousness and instead looked up at Wang Hao, who was blocking the entrance, with a pleading yet resolute expression.
"Considering you just saved me, I agree. I will ensure your wife and daughter live out the rest of their lives in peace!"
Wang Hao raised an eyebrow, his curiosity about Xie Feng growing even stronger. At the same time, an idea struck him.
Thank you!
Xie Feng bowed and thanked them, then his expression changed, and he looked at the Beggars' Sect' Sect leaders in the Gathering Hall with murderous intent, especially the four elders.
He hadn't dared to act before because he was worried about the safety of his wife and daughters, but today was different. If he couldn't eliminate these scoundrels with this opportunity, how could he have the face to live in this world?
Although there were many of these people, and the four elders were even at the Grandmaster level, he was not without means. If he risked his life, he could at least kill most of them.
As for the rest, I believe the invading young master will clear them out.
