A roar!
A tiger's roar exploded next to Huang Yaoshi's ear, seemingly subduing all his thoughts completely.
Huang Yaoshi, who had been confidently standing on the railing waiting for Tao Yu to make the first move, immediately sensed trouble!
But as one of the Five Greats, possessing combat techniques like the Billowing Ocean Melody and being among the top in terms of inner strength.
Even being slightly distracted, he quickly gathered his thoughts and, without holding back, launched a single-handed Empty Sky Palm Strike towards Tao Yu's demonizing claws.
Before the two even made contact, the palm strike's force was already rampant in the air.
Tao Yu felt the air before his palm instantly become viscous, followed by a surge of force coming from afar.
Having experienced the inner strength of Cheng Lixue within his own meridians, Tao Yu had felt that if Cheng Lixue were to transfer inner strength at close range with full force, it could seriously injure him, and now, even when the force came from a distance, Tao Yu felt its ravaging power!
However, in the next moment, Tao Yu felt the change brought by Fist Intention.
The force arriving from afar hadn't yet entered his body when it began to wither and decay.
Although it pressed down heavily, it was continuously dissolved by the force Tao Yu generated from afar.

The remaining strength was also blocked by the concentrated force within his body.
Huang Yaoshi, initially intimidated in spirit and regretting the subconscious palm strike he launched, was thinking how he might remedy an overly forceful blow.
Soon after, he felt his palm strength dissipate like a clay ox into the sea, disintegrating rapidly before even reaching close.
"Eh?"
With a glint in his eye, Huang Yaoshi realized the other party's confidence in his own strength was not unfounded!
Bang!
As palm and claw met, there was a crack, and the railing of the pavilion beneath Huang Yaoshi's feet snapped. His shoes, clinging to a broken piece of the railing, floated backward for two to three zhang like a falling leaf before he landed steadily.
argued Tao Yu, clutching the porcelain bottle while making his statement.
"You make it sound as if I would go back on my word; wait here, and I'll make you a list to choose from,"
said Huang Yaoshi, feeling the force on the bottle and somewhat speechless. Couldn't the guy relax his grip before making such firm statements?
Doesn't he at least know to keep up appearances?
Yet Tao Yu's behavior was somewhat pleasing to Huang Yaoshi.
He showed no suspicion that the bottle contained poison and consumed it directly, praising the effect and taking it without hesitation.
That's how it should be!
Why not accept good things when they come?
Huang Yaoshi disliked those who were pretentious. If you liked something, you should express it straightforwardly.
"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry, senior. We can start by discussing some information you might find interesting,"
suggested Tao Yu, not letting Huang Yaoshi start writing immediately as if he didn't trust him. It was better to exchange current information first.
The best technique in Huang Yaoshi's hands was, of course, the "Nine Yin True Scripture."
But the "Nine Yin True Scripture" has connections to Huang Yaoshi's deceased wife, and since he himself never practiced it, the difficulty was significant.
Fortunately, there was backup from the Ancient Tomb sect, so Tao Yu wasn't under much pressure. If he could get it, great; if not, he'd settle for the next best...
...
"The grasslands have fallen into chaos?"
Having fiddled with the handgun for quite a while, Huang Yaoshi's expression became grave upon hearing that Tao Yu talked of mass production capabilities and even stronger firepower.
However, precisely because of this, the exchanges that followed were much smoother, allowing Tao Yu to learn about the origin of the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear and the latest developments.
As for the timeline, it seemed that the Divine Sculpture had just begun, with Yang Guo already received by Huang Yaoshi and sent to Zhongnan Mountain.
