After leaving the valley, Xiao Ji followed the direction that Zhong Wanchou saw Duan Yanqing leave.
After crossing a few mountains, Xiao Ji came to a broken cliff.
He heard the South Sea Crocodile God Yue Laosan's noisy voice on the cliff.
Obviously, Duan Yanqing was also on the cliff.
Xiao Ji used his lightness skill and flew up from the bottom of the cliff. When he arrived at the edge of the cliff, he stuck his head out to observe the movements above.
Among the four villains, Yue Laosan and Yun Zhonghe might not be the top experts, but Duan Yanqing, the boss, was one of them.
Xiao Ji felt that it was better to be careful!
Xiao Ji looked at the cliff and saw a stone house in front of him. He jumped up and hid behind the stone house.
Looking through the gap in the stone house, Xiao Ji saw Duan Yu lying on the haystack of the stone house. However, Duan Yu looked like he was in pain, as if he had been poisoned.
Xiao Ji turned to look at the opposite side of the stone house. He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if someone had already arrived before him.
On the cliff, besides the stone house, there was also a large bluestone table and two stone stools.
A middle-aged man in a green robe with a long beard was sitting beside the stone table with an iron crutch in his hand.
This person must be the leader of the four villains, Duan Yanqing!
Sitting opposite him was a yellow-browed old monk. Through their conversation, Xiao Ji learned that this person was the yellow-browed master of the Flower-picking Temple.
Master Huang Mei was requested by Emperor Bao Ding of Dali, Duan Zhengming, to protect Duan Yu, the son of Southern Zhenwang, Duan Zhengchun.
If they were ordinary martial arts juniors, Duan Yanqing would not need to spout nonsense and would send them straight to the King of Hell.
However, Master Huang Mei was highly respected, and his Shaolin's unique skill, Vajra Finger, was used to perfection. If they really fought, the outcome was unknown.
Just like what Master Huang Mei had said, Duan Yanqing would not let Duan Yu go so easily.
Thus, Master Huang Mei and Duan Yanqing agreed to play chess to determine the winner. If he won, he would take Duan Yu away, and if he lost, he would not meddle in other people's business.
Duan Yanqing was originally the Crown Prince of Dali Kingdom. Apart from his profound martial arts skills, he was also obsessed with chess.
Master Huang Mei used a wooden fish made of steel to draw horizontal lines on the large bluestone table in front of him, while Duan Yanqing used an iron crutch to draw vertical lines. The two of them drew a Go board with 19 horizontal and vertical lines.
In order to gain the upper hand, Master Huang Mei made a bet with Duan Yanqing on whether his toes would be odd or even.
Duan Yanqing didn't suspect anything, so he naturally said that it was an even number.
However, Master Huang Mei was ruthless and immediately chopped off one of his toes with his Vajra Finger.
Such a vicious and cruel method was enough to make even the evil Duan Yanqing look askance.
"Ding! You can pick up martial arts from 10 meters away. Due to the distance, please approach before picking it up.”
Listening to the system notification, Xiao Ji also saw a golden attribute drop under Master Huang Mei's feet.
This was one of Shaolin's seventy-two ultimate skills, the Vajra Finger. Xiao Jiguang was envious of it.
It would be a waste if he didn't pick up such a profound martial art!
However, the distance that the system could automatically pick up was only five meters. If it exceeded this distance, Xiao Ji would have to get closer.
"Let's take a gamble!"
Xiao Ji muttered to himself as he took the Wave Subtle Steps, leaving only a shadow behind.
"Ding! You have successfully picked it up. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a martial arts technique, Shaolin's Vajra Finger!”
In just half a breath, Xiao Ji had already come within five meters of him and successfully picked up the attributes that had fallen from the ground.
Duan Yanqing was concentrating on playing chess with Master Huang Mei when a figure suddenly appeared out of the corner of his eye. He felt that his interest in playing chess had been taken away. He immediately pointed his cane at Xiao Ji and shot out a Single Solar Finger.
Xiao Ji was sure that Duan Yanqing would attack him. When Duan Yanqing used the Single Solar Finger, Xiao Ji had already used his Light Steps to dodge the attack.
"Ding…discovered that you can pick up martial arts techniques. Do you want to pick them up?”
The system notification sounded again, and Xiao Ji found that Duan Yanqing's feet had also dropped attributes.
Xiao Ji immediately came to a conclusion based on what he had encountered before.
That was, when the other party used their martial arts or was killed, they would drop their attributes or martial arts techniques.
Just like Duan Yanqing's Single Solar Finger, the moment he used it, the system notified him that his attributes had dropped.
"Ding! You have successfully picked it up. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a martial arts technique, the Duan Family's Single Solar Finger!”
