"Such audacity!"
Bai Wuji saw Su Que charge forward without even a greeting, and he let out a cold laugh.
His mind raced, fully activating his Minor Self-Damaging Skill, exerting himself, and transforming into a shadow as he rushed forward to meet Su Que!
He was a Peak Qi Blood Realm Martial Artist, and in this small Jade Water City, he did not believe anyone could be stronger than him.
Seeing Bai Wuji and Su Que engage, Bai Wuji's two emissaries, Zeng Shiyong and Gu Rou, simultaneously shouted:
"Guard the retreat route!"
Without delay, the two circumvented Su Que, moving to his left and right rear flank.
Bai Wuji's other subordinates also dispersed, encircling Su Que from behind.
They wanted to block all of Su Que's escape routes, preventing him from fleeing once the tide turned against him.
Su Que employed the seven techniques of the Seven Injuries Fist simultaneously, with seven strands of fist force infused with four types of True Qi, channeling it into his fists.
Seeing that he was already close to Bai Wuji, he threw a punch toward Bai Wuji's face.
His fist tore through the air, emitting a sharp, piercing sound!
Before the fist even arrived, the punch's wind blew Bai Wuji's three strands of long beard back.
Seeing the approaching fist, Bai Wuji suddenly lowered his waist and turned aside to evade.
At the same time, he fully utilized his signature palm technique, "Thousand Illusion Palm," aiming at Su Que's abdomen!
Once "Thousand Illusion Palm" was executed, his right hand, transformed into a palm, suddenly flickered, splitting into over a hundred palm shadows.
This palm technique, "Thousand Illusion Palm," relies on the rapid movement of the palms, combined with palm force and True Qi, to create multiple illusionary palm shadows.
These palm shadows could be real or imaginary.
He could distribute his palm force and True Qi evenly among each palm shadow.
Or he could concentrate all the palm force and True Qi into just one palm shadow, making it real while the others remained imaginary.
Before the palm struck the opponent's body, the real and imaginary could change according to his will.
When "Thousand Illusion Palm" is cultivated to its highest realm, both hands can instantaneously transform into a thousand palm shadows.
However, Bai Wuji has not reached the pinnacle of this technique; his limit is to produce over three hundred palm shadows in an instant.
Even so, leveraging this palm technique along with his aggressive Minor Self-Damaging Skill True Qi, he has caused many Martial Artists to rue their fate.
The dense hundred-plus palm shadows swept toward Su Que's abdomen and chest.
At this moment, among the hundred palm shadows, only one was filled with his Minor Self-Damaging Skill True Qi; the others were imaginary.
He thought, if this mysterious Martial Artist attempted to block his "Thousand Illusion Palm" with clenched fists, it would be futile; at that time, he could only block the imaginary palms.
But the real palm infused with Minor Self-Damaging Skill True Qi would strike the mysterious Martial Artist's body.
If this mysterious Martial Artist were wise, he might choose to retreat backward.
At such a moment, the mysterious Martial Artist would develop a retreating stance, with his whole body's center of gravity shifting backward, thus weakening the forward attack's power and falling into a disadvantageous position.
Bai Wuji, brimming with confidence, was envisioning the outcome.
He hadn't anticipated that from the punch he evaded, a surge of power would suddenly burst forth, aiming toward his left temple.
This was Su Que's usage of the Seven Injuries Fist's [Mental Confusion Technique].
This technique's power could shift left or right.
"His fist force can actually curve!"
Bai Wuji was startled, and rapidly spinning thoughts raced through his mind.
Even if his "Thousand Illusion Palm" hit the mysterious Martial Artist before him, it would only strike the Martial Artist's chest.
But if the Martial Artist's power hit him, it would impact his head.
By comparison, he would suffer more severe injuries!
Thus, he made a decision in his heart.
He tilted his head downward, trying to distance himself from Su Que's fist force.
At the same time, he raised his right palm, originally aiming for Su Que's stomach area, to block the surge of fist force.
At the next moment, Bai Wuji's hundred-plus palm shadows consolidated into one, meeting Su Que's fist force.
Boom!
A loud explosion rang in Bai Wuji's ear.
He initially thought after blocking this surge of fist force, he could reorganize his assault and attack Su Que.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this surge of fist force collided with his palm, four strands of True Qi charged into his being like a Sea-Entering Flood Dragon!
"That's Red Fiend True Qi, Yin Wind Claw True Qi, and also Profound Yin True Qi?!"
He had studied the Martial Arts of several hall masters under his command.
He was familiar with all except the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi.
"These three strands of True Qi are far superior to those of Fan Wuyang and others..."
"How did this person cultivate three strands of True Qi to such a degree in such a short time?!"
"Moreover, Red Fiend True Qi contradicts the other two True Qi; how does this person fuse the three strands together?!"
"What is the origin of this person?"
Bai Wuji was astounded, bursting with countless questions in his heart.
But now, with a formidable foe before him, he could not afford to ponder too deeply.
He fully activated his Minor Self-Damaging Skill, hoping to dissolve the four strands of True Qi injected by Su Que.
However, his Minor Self-Damaging Skill True Qi, upon encountering Su Que's Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi, was like snow meeting a red-hot iron rod, instantly pierced by the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi!
Though Bai Wuji's Martial Arts Realm was comparable to Su Que's, the very inner strength of Marriage Robe Divine Skill was inherently superior to that of Minor Self-Damaging Skill.
Moreover, considering the realm revealed in Su Que's attributes, Bai Wuji's decades of cultivation in Minor Self-Damaging Skill were still two realms lower than the few months Su Que spent cultivating Marriage Robe Divine Skill!
Thus, Su Que's small strand of Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi swiftly shattered all Minor Self-Damaging Skill True Qi in Bai Wuji's meridians.
"What kind of True Qi is this, so fierce?"
Bai Wuji was shocked.
He knew he paid a hefty price to cultivate the Minor Self-Damaging Skill!
To see his somewhat prideful Minor Self-Damaging Skill easily shattered, how could he not be astonished?
Soon after, the four strands of True Qi invaded Bai Wuji's five viscera and six bowels.
In an instant, Bai Wuji's organs suffered the burning, freezing, erosion, and impact of four agonizing sensations, leaving him in distress!
Bai Wuji desperately urged his Minor Self-Damaging Skill True Qi, barely managing to neutralize all four strands of True Qi.
However, the damage done to his organs by the True Qi was like maggots of the bone, lingering there, continuously harming his organs.
Su Que, gaining the upper hand, did not relent. As the right fist withdrew, the left fist followed with a strike!
Bai Wuji, his organs distressed, momentarily distracted, hastily raised his palm to block this fist.
Boom!
Su Que's fist collided with Bai Wuji's palm.
Seven strands of fist force, accompanied by four strands of True Qi, once again penetrated Bai Wuji's Minor Self-Damaging True Qi defenses, invading his body and wreaking havoc in his organs.
Instantly, Bai Wuji's face turned bright red as if bleeding, and immediately afterward, he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.
Staining the beard on his chin and the white Daoist robe on his chest.
"Seven Injuries Fist?!"
Upon the entry of seven strands of fist force, Bai Wuji finally recognized Su Que's Fist Technique.
He had seen a copy of the Seven Injuries Fist Manual and sparred with his subordinates who practiced the Seven Injuries Fist.
When he first joined the White Lotus Sect, he had considered cultivating the Seven Injuries Fist.
However, he had already practiced Minor Self-Damaging Skill during that time, and learning another self-damaging martial art required careful consideration.
Additionally, he knew the Seven Injuries Fist is easy to learn but hard to master, fearing that if he practiced it yet couldn't reach profound mastery, he would merely end up injuring himself for no gain.
Therefore, he did not practice it.
"This mysterious Martial Artist has mastered the Seven Injuries Fist to this level, his body must be immensely damaged, with weak resilience against attacks!"
"If the fight continues, the loser may not necessarily be me!"
As this thought arose, the nearly despairing Bai Wuji felt a glimmer of hope rise in his heart.
