The rest of the three factions couldn't help but sigh that although Miejue lost the Yitian Sword a few years ago, her sword skills had actually improved even more, and her strength in sword skills was already one of the top sword masters in the world.
However, the next moment, the expressions on the faces of everyone present changed from fearful admiration to horror and restraint.
Seeing the attack from Miejue, Li Xiu didn't show any intention of dodging sword techniques, his expression calmly raising his right hand with two fingers joined together in a sword gesture to meet the attack fearlessly!
"Clang!..."
Almost inseparable, several consecutive sounds of metal clashing rang out, the attack coming quickly and stopping quickly as well.
Miejue retreated step by step, feeling as if her hand had been struck by lightning and was almost unable to hold the sword handle, shaking and powerless.
She looked at Li Xiu again with endless fear in her eyes. The feeling just now was not that the sword edge was struck away by the other party's strong true energy, but that it had truly cut into the object.
He actually used his two finger nails to barely touch the surface and caught every sword edge of her sword in the flash of lightning, and the final sword was just casually flicked away with his fingers, almost knocking her sword out of her hand!
This junior, not only has an extremely strong true energy, but his martial arts have reached a state of transformation, and he also has a very advanced hard qigong for protection!
But he only looks to be around 30 years old, where did he get so much time and experience? If Emei had produced such an unparalleled genius, then wouldn't Emei have long since flourished and surpassed Shaolin and Wudang?
A look of understanding flashed through Li Xiu's eyes. After the first layer of the Azure Jade Sutra was cultivated, the skin and flesh became as hard as stone, but the rest of the body could not possibly be equally strong.
The eyes and eardrums could not possibly be as hard as stone, but his finger nails and bones were also far stronger than stone, comparable to pure iron and able to withstand the clash with a sword under the protection of true energy.
In just a moment, Miejue had a clear understanding of the other party's extremely strong martial arts cultivation. She had thought that after practicing sword techniques for several years, she was already able to suppress the heads of the major sects, but she never knew that there was such a gap in her martial arts cultivation.
But she didn't know the gap until she drew her sword, and Miejue's spirit was greatly suppressed, unable to move forward for several breaths.
Unlike before, the Man was no longer so polite and courteous, as if he had been enraged by the unreasonable actions of the six sects and had no more reservations.
Stepping on the Tiger Leap, the man's expression cold and serious, he pressed down with a palm towards Miejue's head.
Miejue quickly thrust her sword up, instinctively trying to intimidate the man into changing his move.
However, judging by the man's deep internal strength, it was a mistake.
The man also did not really fight, still showing mercy as he sent out a true qi palm print that shattered Miejue's sword as easily as tearing paper, and the imposing force not only fierce but also striking Miejue.
Miejue immediately let out a pitiful cry, spraying a large amount of blood mist from the air, her body flying several zhang like she had been hit by a giant wave, rolling up a cloud of dust as she fell to the ground and passed out in a mess.
When the dozens of disciples of the Emei sect saw their Sect Leader severely injured and knocked into the air, not knowing if she was alive or dead, they all cried out and drew their swords, ferociously stabbing towards the man as if they wanted to cover his entire body in holes.
However, fortunately there are still some smart people who are sober and looked at these fools with a contemptuous look on their faces, Zhou Zhiruo still spoke softly.
"Sir, please show mercy!"
The big man also did not reply, grunting and waving his sleeves, suddenly releasing a burst of true energy like a wave, hitting the group of Emei disciples in front.
Their long swords broke and shattered, and about a dozen figures were sent flying, knocking down a group of Emei disciples who were trying to move forward with their swords.
Zhou Zhiruo walked lightly and walked to the Emei disciples, apologizing to the big man repeatedly. She then gathered the Emei disciples who were not too badly injured and helped Miejue and the severely injured members of the Emei sect down the mountain.
The big man did not have the same good face towards the Emei as the Wudang and Shaolin, and did not warn or salute to them, just coldly watching them.
"Then which expert or hero from Kunlun, Mount Hua, and Kongtong Sects would like to come out and have a match with me!"
"Or perhaps all three sects could come at me together, I, Li Xiu, would wholeheartedly accept!"
Although the big man still used polite language, his tone had gradually turned cold, causing several people to feel a chill down their spine.
They could see that the big man was already very angry with Emei and if anyone else went up to challenge him now, it was likely that he would really show no mercy and possibly kill them on the spot.
"Haha, great sir, you have excellent martial arts skills, truly excellent martial arts skills! My Mount Hua Sect still needs to go help the poor and save people, so we won't waste any more time here."
"Goodbye great sir, goodbye great sir!"
The two elders of Mount Hua stepped forward, their eyes timid as they spoke together. Seeing that the big man had no intention of forcing them to stay, they quickly took the Mount Hua Sect and ran off as if they had been pardoned.
"Hurry up, don't you know that treating the sick and saving people is urgent!"
The Mount Hua elder in the red cross clothing looked at a few slower Mount Hua disciples and kicked them, shouting as he did.
With four of the six sects already gone, Kongtong and Kunlun knew that it was the right move to follow them and retreat. They quickly left, saying a few polite phrases to the big man before heading down the mountain.
Seeing that all the members of the six sects had already retreated, Wei Yixiao and Yin Tianzheng exchanged glances and both sighed, showing a relieved and happy expression at having survived the ordeal.
"We, the members of the Ming Cult, thank you sir for your lifesaving kindness!"
Wei Yixiao and Yin Tianzheng stepped forward and were about to bow to Li Xiu, but Li Xiu quickly stepped forward and helped them up.
"Eagle King and Bat King, what are you doing? Please stand up quickly! The two of you, along with the members of the Ming Cult, openly resisted the Mongol Yuan Dynasty and I have always respected and admired you. We have had a close relationship for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yixiao and Yin Tianzheng looked at each other and nodded, freeing themselves from Li Xiu's support and bowing again.
"If it weren't for you today, it's likely that none of us in the Ming Cult would have been able to escape the disaster! Such a great kindness and virtue, we two would like to appoint you as the 34th leader of our Ming Cult!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiu's face couldn't help but show a little surprise, this expression was not fake.
In the movie, Zhang Wuji used the technique of Heaven and Earth Great Shift to retreat the Six Sects.
The Green Winged Bat King and White Brows Eagle King appointed him as Sect Master on the grounds of "those who practice Heaven and Earth Great Shift have always been Cult Leaders" and "saving the Cult is a great kindness that cannot be repaid."
However, that was because Zhang Wuji had a special identity, he was the adopted son of the White Brows Eagle King and the nephew of the Golden Haired Lion King. He practiced the Ming Cult's sect-protecting skills and was appointed as Cult Leader.
But if it was someone else, if they had also saved the Ming Cult, but if they had secretly learned someone else's sect-protecting skills without permission, even if the Ming Cult would not seek revenge, they would at least be in an awkward and estranged situation, not to mention being appointed as the Cult Leader.
Therefore, Li Xiu had always hidden the fact that he practiced Heaven and Earth Great Shift. He originally wanted to be a guardian king or guest elder of the Ming Cult, and gradually gain more power and influence over time.
But perhaps it was because they saw that his "heart for the world and generous and heroic righteousness" was quite consistent with the Ming Cult's overall purpose, or maybe because the Ming Cult urgently needed a strong person to sit in charge for a long time.
Therefore, Wei Yixiao and Yin Tianzheng also offered him this great temptation at this time, which made Li Xiu somewhat surprised.
