Everyone thought that Xu Haifengs palm movement was slow, but Cheng Yingtaos swift and unparalleled sword move happened to be faster than his action.

  The two of them finally collided head-on after a series of quick and slow movements.

  The two mens palms touched, and Cheng Yingtao immediately felt a powerful and thick inner force emanating from the other persons hand, which was several times stronger than his own accumulated power from dozens of moves of the Cui Bo Liang Gong. His handsome face turned deathly pale in an instant, with not a hint of blood color left.

  This sword has already exceeded his normal level of performance, with all his strength concentrated on this one point, leaving no room for any variation or change.

  All that could be heard was a series of crisp cracking sounds. Cheng Yingtaos sword had become the first casualty in the clash between these two great masters, and under their internal force, this ordinary iron sword shattered into thousands of small pieces, scattering and shooting out in all directions.

  Cheng Yingtao himself was struck by lightning, flying straight out and falling heavily to the ground. A thread of fresh blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth, and he lost consciousness. Just before he fainted, he recalled Xu Haifengs unique martial arts skills, which were actually Li Yanbos signature move, Giant Spirit Palm, when he was young. Only then did he realize that he wasnt wronged in his defeat.

  As for Xu Haifeng, he maintained the same posture as before, with his palm flat and raised, taking a deep breath before putting down his hand and standing up straight.

  Everyone in the arena was a high-ranking official of the current government, and if these broken sword fragments were allowed to fly around randomly, the consequences would be unthinkable. Fortunately, at this time, two first-class attendants had arrived nearby, and without warning, they took off their outer robes and swung them around, using all their might to finally intercept all the sharp fragments.

  Cheng Yinghao reacted extremely quickly, jumping to Cheng Yingtais side and helping him up from the ground. He took a quick look at him and felt both sorrow and anger in his heart.

  Cheng Yingtaos arms were broken, and his internal organs were injured to varying degrees. He wont be able to get out of bed for at least half a month. This time he came to the capital, bringing two of the most outstanding younger brothers in the clan, but now one has been taken away without a word, and the other was beaten into serious injury right before his eyes.

  He was extremely regretful in his heart, it was his idea that Cheng Yingtao challenged Xu Haifeng, he thought that relying on his brothers martial arts skills would be enough to defeat Xu Haifeng, and as long as they seized the top spot of the imperial examination from Xu Haifeng, the reputation of the Cheng family would also shake the world.

  He was not wrong, if it were three days agos Xu Haifeng, he really couldnt withstand Cheng Yingtaos last sword. But after practicing the Giant Spirit Palm, his kung fu has reached a higher level, under this invincible and unmatched cover-the-world technique, the Cheng brothers plan completely failed, in the end they lost out.

  Xu Haifeng coldly stared at Cheng Yinghao, who had a tragic and indignant expression. This was the first time he used the Giant Spirit Palm in a formal battle against an enemy. Indeed, its power was astonishing. With just one palm strike, even Cheng Yingtao, who originally had a strength that surpassed his by a level, was knocked unconscious.

  The aftermath of this tyrannical palm was not small, and the emptiness in his dantian was unprecedented. Suddenly, a surge of vital energy churned within him, and Xu Haifeng unexpectedly discovered that the accumulated vital energy had flowed into his dantian, replenishing the true energy he had consumed.

  Xu Haifeng was overjoyed in his heart. If so, wouldnt he be able to use this ultimate skill without any restrictions?

  A commotion broke out in the hall, and it took a moment to calm down. Emperor Han Xian had not expected such an outcome either, he furrowed his brow, about to announce the end of todays martial competition, with the title of champion going to Xu Haifeng.

  "It was actually Senior Lis Giant Spirit Palm Technique. No wonder my brother wasnt a match for him. But after General Xus palm strike, I dont know if he still has the strength to fight again?"

  Everyone turned their heads to look, but it was Cheng Yinghao handing over his unconscious brother from his arms to Cheng Ming, and suddenly spoke.

  Jū Líng Zhǎng, this divine arts great name is indeed as thunderous as a drumbeat.

  Perhaps those officials and noblewomen did not know, but the few candidates who participated in the imperial examination today were all clear about it.

  They were already greatly intimidated in their hearts when Xu Haifeng severely injured Cheng Yingtao with one palm strike. They still thought that Xu Haifeng was hiding his true abilities and only brought out his ultimate move when forced into a desperate situation, heavily injuring his opponent, so how could they have known that he was actually using the mighty Spirit Giant Palm, renowned as the number one tyrannical martial art in the world?

  The shortcomings of the Giant Spirit Palm are as famous as its invincibility, and just thinking about the consequences of using it makes them tremble with fear. At this moment, Xu Haifeng has already become a spent force, and anyone who comes forward to challenge him will likely win easily. In that case, the outcome of these two peoples confrontation is not Xu Haifeng emerging victorious, but rather a situation where both sides suffer losses.

  "General Xus kung fu is exquisite and admirable. I, Zhang Zhen, have come to seek your guidance." Finally, someone couldnt help but jump out and bow their hands.

  Fang Ling Tian and others furrowed their brows at the same time, this persons behavior was chilling. Just as Fang Ling Tian was about to step forward to stop him, a soft, crisp and pleasant voice sounded in his ear.

  "Zhang Zhen, since you know that General Xu uses the Giant Spirit Palm, why do you still want to come forward and challenge him at this moment? Is that what a man should do? If you have the ability, wait for another day to make an appointment to fight again." Tang Rouer took a step forward, her eyes filled with disdain as she stared at Zhang Zhen.

  Xu Haifeng looked at Mei Jiaoniang with gratitude, and before that in the intense battle, he heard Tang Rouers exclamation of "dont" for him. Although it was related to Cheng Yingtao losing his mind and making a fatal move, Xu Haifeng didnt blame Tang Rouer at all, but instead felt somewhat pleased with himself. Now seeing her taking the initiative to speak up for him, the joy in his heart couldnt be described in words.

  Zhang Zhens face turned red with embarrassment as Tang Rouer spoke, and he was about to retreat when Cheng Yinghao burst out laughing: "Miss Tang, didnt His Majesty just say that the ranking would be decided by a martial arts competition? In that case, why not let them have a trial match first, and then the winner can challenge General Xu? Wouldnt that be fair?"

  Although this sentence is very fair on the surface, it is extremely unfavorable to Xu Haifeng. Once the giant spirit palm is used, there is no day or half-day cultivation that can fully recover. Cheng Yinghao said this, and it was clear that he wanted to tear his face off and oppose Xu Haifeng to the end.

  "Is it fair that Commander Cheng should have a plan in mind, yet still come to ask a young woman like me?" Tang Ruoer smiled slightly, her beauty comparable to a flower carriage, causing countless peoples hearts to flutter and lose their composure.

  Cheng Yinghao took a deep breath and avoided her sharp gaze, saying: "This official only remembers that five years ago, during the militarys grand comparison, Cheng was fortunate enough to participate in the imperial examination and won three consecutive rounds before taking the top spot as the number one scholar. Miss Tang is so concerned about General Xu, I wonder what connection she has with him again?"

  "You..." Tang Rouer was choked by him and couldnt speak.

  Seeing the beauty being humiliated, Xu Haifengs anger surged up and he said: "Commander Cheng is right. Since thats the case..." He turned his head around and asked the five drummers standing in the hall: "Is there anyone among you who wants to challenge me, Xu?"

  The five of them suddenly changed their expressions, and finally one of them shook his head and sighed, turning around to leave. The rest of the people showed a hesitant look on their faces, but still stayed behind.

  "One... two... three... four. Are there four people? Good... very good." Xu Haifeng pointed to each one with his hand, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Bring wine!"

  "Yes!" Qin Yong shouted loudly, like a thunderclap on a clear day, making peoples hearts jump with fright. He strode forward and walked up to Xu Haifeng, took down the wine jug that had been slung over his back, and handed it over.

  Xu Haifeng took it with one hand, wiped off the mud seal, and lifted the wine jar to his mouth, gulping down the contents without stopping. After a moment, he had drunk every last drop, and it turned out that the jar of wine Qin Yong had been carrying was actually prepared for Xu Haifeng.

  A whiff of wine fragrance wafted through the air in the great hall. A connoisseur exclaimed, "Drunken Moon Wine..."

  Seeing Xu Haifeng able to down such strong liquor in one gulp, the faces of the crowd changed color, this persons reputation for having a huge capacity was indeed not false.

  Xu Haifeng drank a whole jar of Drunken Moon wine, his face flushed red, his bodys energy and blood at its peak, he couldnt help but want to let out a few loud roars and vent. With great fanfare, he slammed the wine jar down, only to hear a "crash" as the poor jar shattered into pieces, the remaining wine splashing everywhere, wetting a small patch of floor.

  He spat out a mouthful of air, and surprisingly, a faint white mist sprayed out. He then strode towards the four arena masters who were still standing in place, and loudly shouted: "Take this!"

  Xu Haifeng raised his hand and struck out with a palm, precisely the gigantic spirit palm that made peoples faces change color. However, the four of them simultaneously felt a strange sensation, as if they were the only one facing Xu Haifeng at this moment, and they all took on a defensive stance without prior agreement.

  Jū Líng Zhǎng being the signature move that made Li Yán Bō famous, how could it be so simple?

  The moves of the Giant Spirit Palm are not many, only six in total. In fact, it is just one palm that strikes in six different directions: forward, backward, left, right, up and down.

  Every move is a creation of the predecessors heart and soul, with one palm strike, a strange internal force will form a peculiar force field around, all enemies within the attack range will think they are attacking themselves. Moreover, being in the force field, there is no way to avoid or retreat, only to fight head-on.

  However, if we talk about hard-hitting, apart from the top masters in the world, who or what kind of kung fu can surpass the power of the Giant Spirit Palm?

  Xu Haifeng struck out with one palm, and the first to bear the brunt was Zhang Zhen. He hated him for taking advantage of the situation, Xu Haifeng didnt hold back, in fact he couldnt even if he wanted to. One palm strike sent him crashing to the ground, stumbling backward several steps before collapsing. Next, Xu Haifeng continuously slapped out three more palms, one by one, sending them all tumbling down, not a single person could withstand his palm strikes.

  Xu Haifeng stood with his palm on his chest, looking around with an unspoken air of heroism and grandeur. Suddenly, his gaze focused on Cheng Yinghao, and he shouted: "Commander Cheng, dare you to fight me?"
