Fireworks flashed, and the ground responded with a fierce shout of killing. Thousands of good hands rushed into the field, killing the Mingjiao congregation along with the imperial soldiers, and the situation on the field suddenly reversed.

  At this time, the Mingjiao believers were attacked from both front and back, suffering heavy losses in an instant.

  Five scattered people exchanged a glance and simultaneously made their move, beginning to surround Zhao Ji and Shangguan Jian Nan.

  Shangguan Jian was a general under Han Shizhong's command.

  After Qin Hui came to power, Yue Fei was harmed, and Han Shizhong's military power was removed, and he was idle at home. Most of his subordinates also returned home after being discharged from the army.

  Shangguan Jiannan was furious with the treacherous officials in power, and led a group of brothers to become outlaws in the Jingzhou area, later joining the Iron Palm Gang.

  Soon after, Lao Bangzhu passed away, and Shangguan Jian Nan took over as the new leader.

  This Iron Palm Society was originally just a small gang, but with his leadership and rectification, they often did chivalrous deeds. Heroes and good men from the two lakes who heard about it came to join, and in just a few years, their reputation greatly increased, almost rivaling that of the Beggar's Gang in the north.

  Shangguan Jiannan's heart remained loyal and righteous, although he was in the jianghu, he never forgot to kill enemies for the country and recover his homeland. He often sent his subordinates to gather information in Lin'an, Bianliang and other places, waiting for an opportunity.

  Zhao Ji learned of Shangguan Jian's surrender and personally went to see him, revealed her identity, made all sorts of promises, and finally Shangguan Jian agreed to pledge allegiance to her.

  Shangguan Jiannan, as a military general, only knew how to lead the charge and kill enemies, but his martial arts skills were mediocre and belonged to the second-rate category, so he was in a precarious situation when fighting against the five scattered people.

  Zhao Ji's skills were exceptionally high, and she had also learned the Mingjiao Jingong method of Qiankun Dano. She single-handedly fought against four of the five scattered people, steadily gaining the upper hand.

  "Hmmph!"

  Suddenly, Shangguan Jiannan let out a miserable cry and his body stumbled backward. He had been hit by the carefree immortal among the five scattered immortals and was injured.

  "Officer Xiang Nan, come and take his life!"

  Xiaoyao Xian got angry and was determined to kill Shangguan Jian'nan, so he flew up with a palm and slapped it down on Shangguan Jian'nan's head.

  Seeing Xian Ling's palm wind strike, Shangguan Jian Nan had no power to resist, and secretly said: "My life is over!"

  "Bang! Boss, I'm here to save you!"

  Just as Shangguan Jian's eyes were about to close in death, a loud shout suddenly rang out, followed by a figure rushing over and slapping his palm against that of the Carefree Immortal, producing a dull thud.

  Xiaoyao Xian hummed a sound, his body flew out and landed on the ground with rapid footsteps, taking seven steps back before forcibly stopping his retreat.

  At this time, the Carefree Immortal felt that his entire arm was numb, with a piercing pain in his palm. He lifted up his hand and when he saw that his palm had turned brown, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

  Iron Sand Palm!

  Xiaoyao Xian stared at the robust young man standing beside Shangguan Jian'nan in shock.

  Iron Sand Palm is one of the 72 ultimate skills of Shaolin, which uses iron sand and medicine as auxiliary materials for practicing qigong, and cultivates a kind of attackable and defendable palm hard qigong through specific practicing methods.

  It requires long-term and diligent practice, and Iron Sand Palm can achieve the effect of opening steles and splitting stones after successful practice.

  Iron sand palm power toxic gas release, medicine power deeply enters skin and muscle, tendon and bone become strong as poison hand, heavily strike strong enemy with yellow sand.

  Iron Sand Palm, also known as Black Sand Hand, is a hard qigong exercise that belongs to the strong and firm category of Yang.

  Iron sand palm contains toxicity, can corrode meridians and skeleton. If the heart meridian is attacked, it will die on the spot.

  "You are..."

  Shangguan Jiannan looked at the robust young man who had forced Xiangyao Xian to retreat, he didn't recognize this person, when did Tiězhǎng Bāng have such a powerful expert?

  A robust man bowed to Shangguan Jian and said, "Leader, I am Qiu Qianren, the leader of the Lingnan branch. Seeing that you are in danger, I have come to rescue you."

  Shangguan Jiannan looked at Qiu Qianzhen and asked: "The move you used just now was Iron Sand Palm, wasn't it?"

  At these words, a flash of murderous intent flickered in Qiu Qianren's eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Yes."

  Shangguan Jiannan knew that the previous leader of the gang came from Shaolin and had limited talent, so he only learned Tiesha Zhang.

  After leaving Shaolin, he founded the Iron Palm Gang. He himself was only a second-rate martial artist, and the Iron Palm Gang was just a third-rate sect. If it weren't for Shangguan Jian'nan, the Iron Palm Gang would have long since fallen into dust.

  Practicing Iron Sand Palm is too rigorous and requires diligent practice, but Shangguan Jian's mind is preoccupied with opposing the Jin State, so he has no time to cultivate it.

  Shangguan Jiannan never expected that a Lingnan sect's leader would cultivate the Iron Sand Palm to such heights, even able to exchange blows with one of the Five Wanderers of the Ming Cult, Xiangyang Immortal, without losing. Truly a rare martial arts prodigy.

  At this point, Xiang Jian Nan asked Qiu Qian Ruo: "In the Lingnan branch, there are some talented people who have been suppressed. Are you interested in coming to the headquarters and taking up the position of deputy leader?"

  Upon hearing this, Jiū Qiānzhēn's face changed color and he said in a deep voice: "Leader, let's put this matter aside for now and focus on solving our current predicament!"

  Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jian Nan nodded and said: "Alright, we must ensure the princess's safety and escort her out of here, we cannot let anything happen to her."

  After hearing Shangguan Jiannan's words, Qiu Qianren hesitated and looked at the carefree immortal who was injured by his iron sand palm.

  Shangguan Jiannan said: "Xiaoyao Xian is already injured, I can handle it, you go help the princess!"

  Qiu Qianzhen responded with a single word and flashed away, charging into Zhao Ji's encirclement.

  At this time, Zhao Ji was being ganged up on by the remaining four people, and she was forced to retreat step by step. It was difficult for her to gain the upper hand at the moment. Suddenly, she felt a slight relief in pressure. She saw that Qiu Qianren had already taken over one of the scattered men, and the two were exchanging blows with each other, enjoying themselves immensely.

  Zhao Ji felt quite stifled today. Normally, the five scattered people would show respect and courtesy when they saw her, but unexpectedly, she was beaten to the point where she could only defend herself. Now, with only three scattered people left, her confidence greatly increased.

  "Heaven and Earth, Great Shift!"

  Zhao Ji also used the Ming Jiao Zhen Jiao Gong Fa, transferring all three scattered people's attacks at the same time. Her body shape flashed constantly, and each flash would appear in front of a scattered person, knocking them back.

  To be honest, Zhao Ji's martial arts skills are not bad, but after all, she is still young and her strength is obviously insufficient. She can easily defeat one or two, or even three scattered people, but now that four scattered people have joined forces to attack, it's already quite impressive that she can hold on for so long.

  Ji Qianzhen blocked another stray cultivator, and Zhao Ji finally unleashed her power, causing all three stray cultivators to spit blood and retreat.

  However, Zhao Ji's real goal was still Zhang Sanqiang, who had already been injured and was being rescued by Chen Zuoshi. If this person is not eliminated, she will not only be unable to control the Mingjiao for her own use, but also likely become the public enemy of the Mingjiao, causing her nearly twenty years of effort to be in vain.

  "Zhang San, stay behind."

  Zhao Ji let out a loud shout and sprang up, raising her palm to slap the top of Zhang San's head as he was slowly recovering from his injuries.

  At this time, Chen Zuoshi was busy treating Zhang San's injuries and couldn't spare any attention, so he could only watch as Zhao Ji's palm struck.

  Zhang San and Chen Zuo exchanged a glance, both reading the other's thoughts in their eyes, that is, they would both lose their lives today.

  Just as Zhao Ji's palm was about to slap the top of Zhang San's head, a rusty and mottled long sword suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slashed towards Zhao Ji's palm.
