Meng Juehai, a top fighter under Huang Chao, had defeated over 380 generals and was praised by Zhu Wen as "unrivaled in heroism." However, Li Cunxiao captured him in a single move. Upon returning to camp, Meng Juehai's ribs were broken by Li Cunxiao. Another of Huang Chao's fierce generals, Geng Biao, was also killed by Li Cunxiao in one move.
Upon realizing Li Cunxiao's strength, Ge Congzhou abandoned individual combat and resorted to formation tactics, deploying 480,000 men in a long serpent formation, with the head and tail supporting each other. But Li Cunxiao's strength overpowered all, instantly killing the serpent's head, Zhang Quan. He then single-handedly slew all 48,000 elite soldiers. Ultimately, five thousand men defeated 480,000. Li Cunxiao broke the serpent formation and, by chance, entered Chang'an, setting fire to the Yongfeng granary. He killed Huang Chao's brother, Huang Gui, in one move and displayed his divine strength by capturing five fine horses.
Later, he captured Deng Tianwang alive, killed Han Zhong instantly, subdued Wang Yanzhang, frightened Zhu Wen away, and killed fifteen generals, turning the tide of the war alone. He again captured Deng Tianwang alive and, while ill, coerced Gao Siji.
Unlike in official history, Li Cunxiao was slandered by villains, leading Li Keyong to order his dismemberment by five oxen. Had Li Cunxiao not broken his own tendons and allowed the oxen to pull him apart, it would have been difficult to achieve his dismemberment.

Experience: In Jinzhuang, under the jurisdiction of Yangtan City, the manor lord Jin Peiran married Ms. Chen. In his old age, he had a son, named Jin Li, whom he doted on. When Jin Li was one year old, the family went to sweep the graves during the Qingming Festival. Unexpectedly, young Jin Li was snatched away by a mother tiger.
Jin Peiran's friend Bai Cheng'en learned of this and offered to give his own infant son, only a month old, to the Jin family, vowing to keep the matter secret for life. Jin Peiran and his wife were overjoyed and accepted the child, naming him Jin Tai.
Not far from Jin Tai's home was Fahui Zen Temple, where the monk Danzi often taught young Jin Tai basic martial arts. When Jin Tai was ten years old, Jin Peiran and his wife both passed away. Jin Tai became an orphan and wandered the pugilistic world. Jin Li, who had been missing for many years, miraculously returned. Jin Li and Jin Tai recognized each other, and under the tutelage of Monk Danzi, Jin Tai eventually mastered extraordinary skills.
In the twilight years of Emperor Renzong of Song, the national treasury was depleted, and various prefectures extorted or borrowed from the people. At that time, the Chancellor, Imperial Grandfather, and Grand Preceptor of the court, Tantai Wei, still felt it was insufficient and long plotted to usurp the throne. He colluded with the Western Xia and sent a rogue martial monk—Black Wind Monk—to establish a ring in the Central Plains to threaten the weak Emperor Yingzong of Song and seize control of the Central Plains. In the first month of the second year of Zhi Ping, an imperial edict was issued to recruit heroes from across the land to compete in the arena.
Jin Tai and Jin Li entered the capital to compete. On the arena, Jin Tai killed the Western Xia warrior Black Wind with one punch, earning the title "Boxing King of the world." Emperor Yingzong of Song bestowed upon Jin Tai the title of Imperial Teacher of the Palace and rewarded him with 100,000 taels of imperial silver.
After Emperor Yingzong of Song passed away, Emperor Shenzong ascended the throne. To support Wang Anshi's reforms, Emperor Shenzong sent Jin Tai to serve as Wang Anshi's bodyguard for over ten years, making significant contributions to the strong military and new policies.
Later, the Liao Dynasty colluded with Song dynasty traitors and launched an attack on Song. Urgent war reports arrived, and Emperor Renzong of Song used a gold tablet to summon Jin Tai. Jin Tai immediately assembled hundreds of warriors from various martial arts schools in Yiwu to go to the front lines to resist the enemy. They later defeated the enemy soldiers and returned victorious to the court, identifying the traitor.
For his meritorious service in pacifying the south, Jin Tai was enfeoffed as the "Prince of Pacifying the South." As he was also the boxing instructor for the second emperor, he was also known as the "Imperial Boxing Instructor."
...
"Bang!"
"With the God-Beating Whip in hand, who dares to block me!"
With a resounding boom, boundless energy impacted space. Under the onslaught of Jiang Ziya's God-Beating Whip, after only a hundred moves, the sentient Willow Ancestor gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
"How can humans dare to bully me!"
Willow Ancestor roared. He took a step forward, intending to tear through the whip shadows before him. However, the moment he stepped, Jiang Ziya struck with his whip, aiming directly for Willow Ancestor's head.
"How dare you!"
Willow Ancestor shouted, raising three thousand killing intents with his hands. Willow branches swayed, suspending countless spaces, and hurled them towards Jiang Ziya.
Boom!
Jiang Ziya's slender figure, holding the God-Beating Whip, met the three thousand killing intents, suppressed innumerable spaces, and crushed all light. With the divine whip in hand, he struck towards Willow Ancestor.
Bang!
The whip fell, striking Willow Ancestor's chest. One whip shook Willow Ancestor's foundation, causing his chest to explode. Willow Ancestor roared and swung his hands, attempting to capture Jiang Ziya. But Jiang Ziya moved forward, blocking Willow Ancestor's hands with the divine whip. With a flash of light, he severed Willow Ancestor's arms and then brought the whip down directly upon Willow Ancestor's head. With a thunderous sound and a surge of brilliant light, he transformed into his original form. Three thousand willow branches illuminated eternity, leaving only a single twig that fell upon an unremarkable inch of land in the immortal realm.
"Do you dare to take my spear!"
On a battlefield, Luo Shixin, wielding his Bintie Overlord Spear, roared. With one thrust, an uncountable number of spear shadows rained down like pear blossoms. Rolling demonic energy rose like steam, emitting heat. The demonic energy contracted, and in the world of demonic seas, the Demon Ancestor, covered in spear wounds, his body tattered, dodged Luo Shixin's onslaught.
"You cannot escape!"
Luo Shixin roared. Ten thousand spear shadows descended, tearing apart the world of demonic seas. Under that spear light, which seemed to reach the ultimate path, immense power erupted, striking towards the Demon Ancestor.
"Bang!"
A sound echoed. That world shattered. Not a trace of the boundless demonic energy scattered. Under that spear, the rolling demonic energy was instantly annihilated. A wisp of pure demonic light was absorbed into the Bintie Overlord Spear.
"The vanguard is strong; we can attack!"
On the war chariot, Sun Wu spoke with a smile.
