Rebel armies swarmed, heroes from all walks of life took action, and the situation in the world became increasingly corrupt. The imperial court was defeated again and again, and was no longer able to control most of the Central Plains.
Among the various rebel armies, there are a few that are particularly conspicuous.
Among them, the ones that Li Zhige paid the most attention to were Zhu Yuanzhang, the leader of Fengyang branch of Mingjiao, and Chen Youliang, the elder of the Beggar Clan.
Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the Mingjiao and his own characteristics, and his power developed extremely rapidly. He became the most powerful of the various rebel armies of the Mingjiao. His voice within the Mingjiao was extremely high, and his reputation once exceeded that of Wuji, the leader of the Mingjiao.
Chen Youliang relied on hundreds of thousands of Beggar Gang members, and his power developed extremely rapidly, no less than Zhu Yuanzhang.
The world was peaceful for two or three years.
In this year, Shi Hongshi turned thirteen.
Divine Fist Gate.
Li Zhige looked at Shi Hongshi in front of him and asked calmly, "Hongshi, do you still remember what your mother said before she died?"
Shi Hongshi nodded, with an unforgettable hatred in his eyes, and replied to Li Zhige, "Uncle Li, I remember everything, and I don't dare to forget a word."
Li Zhige nodded, "Chen Youliang's master and apprentice plotted to kill Gang Leader Shi, pushed a puppet to pretend to be the gang leader, and secretly controlled the Beggar Gang. Now that you have grown up, it is time to take back the power of the Beggar Gang and let Chen Youliang pay for his blood debt."
Shi Hongshi held the emerald green dog-beating stick and asked in a deep voice, "Uncle Li, when are we going to the Beggar Clan's headquarters?"
Li Zhige stood up and replied calmly, "Now."
On the side, Lin Yunxiao hurriedly interjected, "Master, please take me with you. This disciple has been practicing martial arts under your sect for several years, and he will eventually go to the arena to experience it, right?"
Li Zhige turned to look at Lin Yunxiao and nodded in agreement.
Lin Yunxiao is now eighteen years old.
He has a well-proportioned figure, a handsome face, and a majestic air. He is dressed like a handsome young man in brocade clothes, which often makes the little girls in Qiantang City secretly come to the Shenquan Gate to watch.
Looking at another disciple, Li Zhige said, "Xiao Niu, you also come with us. Then follow Yun Xiao and see what the world is like."
"Yunxiao, you are my senior brother, please pay more attention to taking care of me."
Wang Xiaoniu is ten years old and still short in stature. He wears clothes made of coarse linen and has dark and rough skin. He has always been taciturn and has nothing to say.
After hearing Li Zhige's instructions, Wang Xiaoniu nodded obediently and followed Lin Yunxiao silently.
Li Zhige glanced at the three of them, stood up, and strode out of the Divine Fist Gate.
I haven't been in the world for three years, and I don't know if the world still remembers me.
After leaving Qiantang, Li Zhige chose a direction and headed towards Xinzhou.
Although the Beggar Clan has declined, it is still one of the most powerful gangs in the world. The location of the Beggar Clan's rudder is not a secret.
The chief helm of the Beggar Clan is not fixed.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, when Qiao was the leader, the Beggar Clan was at its peak, and its headquarters was located in Luoyang, Xijing. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the leader of the gang, Hong Qigong, had no fixed address, and the Beggar Gang decided to head to Junshan in Yueyang. Later, Huang Rong came to the throne, and the Beggar Clan's chief helm was decided by Huang Rong. It was first located near Taohua Island, and later moved to Dashengguan outside Xiangyang City.
Now, Chen Youliang has taken Xinzhou as his base, and the chief helmsman of the Beggar Clan has naturally moved to Xinzhou.
Outside Xinzhou City, there is a villa called Lotus Villa.
This Lotus Villa is the current headquarters of the Beggar Clan.
On this day, several people came outside Lotus Villa. The leading man was in his early thirties, extremely tall and high-spirited, and his iconic green shirt made the Beggar Gang disciples begging along the way murmur.
If you want to say what is the most powerful thing about the Beggar Clan, it must be intelligence.
Although Li Zhige had not been in the world for three years, the Beggar Clan disciples along the way recognized Li Zhige at first sight.
In the Lotus Villa, Chen Youliang listened to the report from his subordinates. He said with gloomy eyes, "I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect that the Divine Fist Li Zhige would still meddle in his own business!"
On the side, the gang leader pretending to be Shi Honglong trembled and said in a trembling voice, "Elder Chen, how about we return the position of leader of the Beggar Clan to Shi Hongshi? We can't afford to offend the Divine Fist Li Zhige."
Chen Youliang's eyes were as cold as poisonous snakes. He looked at the fake Shi Huolong and said coldly, "Do you think Li Zhige will let us go if you give up the position of gang leader?"
"Besides, Li Zhige is also a human being, not a god! Now that I am the helmsman of the Beggar Clan, how many of the thousands of Beggar Clan disciples can he deal with?"
"Gang leader, Elder Chen, it's not good! The divine fist Li Zhige has arrived at the villa. He said he wanted to visit the gang leader, and asked Elder Chuan Gong and others to welcome him in. He is waiting in the lobby now."
As soon as Chen Youliang finished speaking, a disciple of the Beggar Clan ran in and announced the latest news loudly.
The fake Shi Huolong trembled, looked at Chen Youliang for help, and said in a trembling voice, "Elder Chen, Li Zhige has arrived, what should we do now?"
Chen Youliang sneered and said, "What should we do? Since Li Zhige wants to visit you, just go out and see him."
With that said, Chen Youliang waved to his cronies and whispered a few instructions.
Standing up and looking at the trembling fake Shi Huolong, Chen Youliang said, "Let's go, leader, let's go meet Li Zhige for a while."
Lotus Villa, lobby.
Li Zhige sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Shi Hongshi, Lin Yunxiao, and Wang Xiaoniu stood behind Li Zhige without saying a word.
The law enforcement elders, the power transfer elders, and several elders of the Beggar Clan frowned at Shi Hongshi behind Li Zhige. They always felt that this ferocious-looking girl looked familiar.
Li Zhige did not speak, and several elders of the Beggar Clan did not dare to speak either.
"Master Li, the last time we said goodbye at Zhongnan Mountain, we haven't seen each other for six years. In the past six years, Master Li's reputation in the world has been as high as the sky."
A cold laugh came, and Li Zhige slowly opened his eyes.
Looking out the door, Li Zhige smiled and said, "Chen Youliang, the second time we meet, you are still as timid as ever. Do you think Li can't touch you if you stand ten feet away?"
Chen Youliang stood outside the door. He was guarding a hundred Beggar Clan disciples in front of him. He still felt a little unsafe. He calmly took two steps back and smiled at Li Zhige, "Master Li, why do you have to fight for a dead man?" Do you want to get along with me, Chen Youliang? As long as you don’t care about this matter, how about Chen Youliang offering you gold and silver and sending you away?”
Li Zhige shook his head and replied calmly, "What Li promised will definitely be fulfilled. Chen Youliang, if you think that the large number of people can make Li want to quit, then Li will not come to the door today."
After Li Zhige's voice fell, he stood up, ignored the hundreds of disciples of the Beggar Clan, and strode towards Chen Youliang.
Chen Youliang's heart sank and he shouted loudly, "Where is the Beggar Clan disciple? Stop him!"
Following Chen Youliang's order, more than a hundred Beggar Clan disciples poured in, blocking Li Zhige's path on three levels inside and three outside.
Li Zhige shook his head slightly, lowered his waist and clenched his fists.
Seeing Li Zhige show off his fists, Lin Yunxiao blushed and tugged on his fists, muttering excitedly, "With one move, shake Kunlun!"
As Lin Yunxiao's voice fell, Li Zhige punched.
The moment Li Zhige punched, his whole body surged with momentum, like a giant holding the sky and the earth, punching horizontally to shake Kunlun.
Li Zhige swung out his fist, and waves of air exploded. Dozens of Beggar Clan disciples staggered around and were knocked down.
Dozens of Beggar Clan disciples fell, and dozens more Beggar Clan disciples immediately took over.
Looking at the swarming disciples of the Beggar Clan, Li Zhige raised both fists. When he pumped his fists, there seemed to be waves surging, one wave overshadowing the other, and the sound of the rushing waves of the river resounded in the villa.
Lin Yunxiao became even more excited. He imitated Li Zhige's gestures and whispered in a low voice, "When the river goes east, the waves will end."
Wow!
One punch brought out a surging river, and the force of the punch rolled thousands of feet like a wave, making hundreds of Beggar Clan disciples lose their footing.
Li Zhige took two steps and punched twice.
Shake Kunlun with one punch.
One punch and the wave is gone.
These two punches were what he had learned through deduction over the past few years. They were magnificent, like a giant striking Kunlun, or a Qiantang rushing endlessly.
After two punches fell, no Beggar Clan disciple dared to block the way. Li Zhige stepped in front of Chen Youliang, who was completely frightened.
He, Chen Youliang, was also in the martial arts world, but he had never seen such an exaggerated boxing technique.
"stop!"
Seeing that Li Zhige had captured Chen Youliang, the law enforcement elder, the power transfer elder and others could not sit still.
Shi Hongshi stood up at the right moment, held up the dog-beating stick, and shouted coldly, "Disciples of the Beggar Clan, why don't you welcome the dog-beating stick when you see it?"
All the Beggar Clan disciples turned to look at the dog-beating stick in Shi Hongshi's hand, with doubtful expressions on their faces.
The law enforcement elder, the power transfer elder and others looked at Shi Hongshi in surprise and asked, "Are you Hongshi?"
Shi Hongshi nodded, "Elder Niu, Elder Song, Elder Lu, you finally remember Hongshi."
Law enforcement elder Niu Sanxu asked in confusion, "Hongshi, didn't your father say that he would send you to Zhongnan Mountain to learn martial arts? How come you are with Sect Leader Li?"
Shi Hongshi looked at the fake Shi Huolong and sneered, "He is not my father at all. My father was killed by Chen Youliang in collusion with outsiders six years ago!"
"What you see now is just a fake in disguise! Elders, you have all been deceived by Chen Youliang!"
