FVN Chapter 36: Defeating Dongfang Bubai
Chapter 36: Defeating Dongfang Bubai
Yue Buqun's lips twitched. No...
You were able to fight him to a standstill, and even gain the upper hand, yet you still need us to step in? Have you no shame?
This guy definitely doesn't seem like a good person...
While it's not morally wrong to fight against evil sects, these people are all leaders and high-ranking members of a sect. They really couldn't bring themselves to besiege Dongfang Bubai in broad daylight under these circumstances.
Have some shame!
While Yue Buqun was amazed by Dongfang Bubai's martial arts skills, he was also shocked by Li Ping's skills. How could someone so young be able to be on par with Dongfang Bubai!
Although it was two against one, the combined age of the two of them couldn't compare to the amount of time Dongfang Bubai had spent practicing martial arts!
The Evil-Repelling Sword Technique is so formidable...
He wanted it even more, but the will to force it was completely gone.
What these people didn't know was that in a normal battle, Li Ping could only withstand a dozen or so moves against Dongfang Bubai, which was already his limit.
However, one man's desperate fight is hard to withstand. Li Ping only attacked and did not defend, and every move was aimed at mutual destruction. Dongfang Bubai was really at a loss.
After all, Li Ping's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill was incredibly powerful, and he believed it was a blessing from the immortals. He really didn't dare to play the game of exchanging injury for life with Li Ping.
As for Huang Rong, the lightness skill of Peach Blossom Island was already exceptionally graceful. After mastering Wei Yixiao's lightness skill techniques, she was able to keep up with the speed of the two of them.
Moreover, she was extremely familiar with the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique and was also well-versed in the various variations of the Sunflower Manual. Combined with her superior martial arts skills from Peach Blossom Island, she could indeed exchange a few blows with Dongfang Bubai.
With two against one, the two were gaining a slight advantage!
Wei Yixiao was dumbfounded: "I taught my lightness skill to Li Ping, but I didn't expect him to just casually give it to the girl next to him. He's quite the romantic figure, just like Yang Xiao..."
"This girl is amazing. She has managed to integrate my lightness skill into her movements in just two days."
Wei Yixiao had met many people in the martial arts world who claimed to be geniuses, but they seemed to be a step behind Huang Rong.
He stared at Dongfang Bubai's back, his eyes gleaming with desire.
The people of the Songshan Sect were equally interested.
Fei Bin, the Great Songyang Hand, said, "Hero Li is right. When dealing with a heretic like Dongfang Bubai, there's no need to follow the rules of the martial world..."
Dongfang Bubai was being held back; if he were to kill or injure Dongfang Bubai at this moment, his reputation would be ruined…
Just thinking about that kind of scenery made his scalp tingle with excitement!
With a swift movement, he unleashed a powerful strike, the Great Songyang Hand, aimed at Dongfang Bubai's back.
The palm strike appeared slow but was actually swift and extremely heavy. It used three-tenths of its power and reserved seven-tenths to deal with any possible counterattack from Dongfang Bubai.
"The Five Mountains Sword Sect is indeed a bunch of hypocrites spouting moral platitudes..."
A figure landed and exchanged a palm strike with Fei Bin. Both of them retreated three steps. The newcomer was none other than Shangguan Yun, an elder of the Sun Moon Divine Sect. Then, one figure after another landed, and the main force of the Sun Moon Divine Sect also arrived.
The members of the Five Mountains Sword Sect drew their swords, and a great battle was about to break out.
At this moment, Li Ping focused all his efforts on engaging Dongfang Bubai, refusing to retreat an inch.
Dongfang Bubai frowned, thinking that Li Ping's internal energy was very strange!
They were both practicing the same kind of kung fu, and his cultivation was so superficial, yet his true qi was much sharper and more agile than mine.
Did he improve the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique?
impossible!
Could it be a blessing from the immortals?
What exactly is this "blessing from the immortals"? It has so many benefits!?
Then, Dongfang Bubai looked at Huang Rong, who had stepped aside, and saw her muttering to herself and fidgeting with her fingers. What was she doing?
Could this be a blessing from the immortals, and she's about to use magic?
The Taishan Sect masters were dumbfounded when they saw Huang Rong in this state.
Master Tianmen blurted out, "What about Mount Tai?"
The Taishan School has a unique skill called "Dai Zong Ru He," which involves calculating the opponent's location, martial arts style, height, weapon length, terrain, and weather before making a move...
The calculations are extremely complex, but once the calculations are complete, the sword strike will always hit its mark.
But it has already been lost!
Could it be that this little girl has mastered the ultimate skill of Mount Tai?
He listened carefully and heard Huang Rong mutter, "The extreme value of the derivative of the Sunflower Manual has been calculated, the flaw..."
Master Tianmen was speechless!
Huh? What's this?
Huang Rong stepped forward again, unleashing another Falling Flower Sword Palm technique—the same palm method, but completely different from the previous one…
Looking at the overwhelming palm strikes, Dongfang Bubai sneered, "The palm technique is good, but the person is too bad."
She deflected Li Ping's sword with her embroidery needle and then thrust it straight into Huang Rong's palm.
The Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm is unpredictable, sometimes even nine parts illusion and one part reality, or ten parts illusion and none reality, but he managed to capture Huang Rong's true form!
Unexpectedly, Huang Rong's palm strike changed from solid to feint, bending and stretching, and actually pressed down on his chest...
Dongfang Bubai roared, "Good..."
The sound pierced Huang Rong's ears like steel needles, causing her internal energy to stagnate. Dongfang Bubai's chest sprang, and he punched Huang Rong's hand away.
He then moved with lightning speed, exiting the battle and standing with his hands behind his back.
Now, there was no trace of his previous anger on his face. He laughed and said, "Good, good, good. New talents emerge in every generation. Today, I have finally lost to you all."
"This title of being the best in the world is yours!"
He made no mention of Li Ping's previous use of poison, and the fact that it was a two-on-one fight, displaying the demeanor of a grandmaster.
Such things as extraordinary people or immortals bestowing blessings are simply nonexistent!
As for giving away the title of the best in the world...
He didn't care about anything in the first place; this move was mainly to flatter and kill Li Ping and the other person.
Fei Bin and Wei Yixiao's expressions changed drastically. If they had actually managed to launch a sneak attack on Dongfang Bubai earlier, they would have been dead for sure. This guy seemed to be at a disadvantage, but he had actually been holding back his strength all along.
Then, Dongfang Bubai's gaze swept over everyone from the Five Mountains Sword Sect: "Do the Five Mountains Sword Sect intend to fight against my Sun Moon Divine Sect today?"
Fei Bin and the others remained silent.
Dongfang Bubai scoffed and shook his head, saying, "The Five Mountains Sword Sects these days are nothing but cowardly scoundrels. We'll never see someone like Feng Qingyang again."
He then flashed back into his sedan chair, and then felt a sweet taste in his throat as blood welled up in his throat, but he swallowed it down.
His eyes turned icy cold: "Li Ping, and that bitch, very well, very well, I will kill you..."
If he hadn't forced himself to exert his power while poisoned, damaging his meridians, he would never have retreated, much less let the Five Mountains Sword Sect members go.
Even if Li Ping and his companion are strong, their skills are still shallow. Once their true energy is exhausted, how could they possibly be his match?
Only after the Sun Moon Sect left did the Five Mountains Sword Sect members dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
They truly hadn't expected that Dongfang Bubai's martial arts had reached such a level. If Li Ping hadn't intervened, Dongfang Bubai could have single-handedly killed them all.
Li Ping!
Evil-repelling Sword Technique!
Regardless of whether Li Ping and his companion were fighting two against one, the fact that they could defeat Dongfang Bubai in a single move was simply terrifying!
After all, the two of them combined are probably not even half the age of Dongfang Bubai!
At this moment, Fei Bin smiled and clasped his hands in greeting to Li Ping, saying, "Greetings, Master Li. My senior brother, the sect leader, said that Master Li has been kind to Mount Song."
"If I were to encounter Master Li, I would naturally treat him with the respect due to a junior."
That's not how it was said, of course, but now, Zuo Lengchan has to say it!
He continued, "Master Li surpasses Dongfang Bubai. From this day forward, Master Li's name will be known and celebrated throughout the martial world!"
"However, that fiend Dongfang Bubai will certainly not give up!"
"Master Li's martial arts are superb, so he has nothing to fear. However, the Demonic Cult is numerous, powerful, treacherous, and full of insidious schemes. Master Li must be extra careful!"
"If there's anything the Five Mountains Sword Sect can do to help, just let us know!"
They're just trying to recruit me, or they want me to be the one to stand up and resist Dongfang Bubai!
Do you think I'm stupid?!
Li Ping only said that he was injured and went back to recuperate, completely ignoring the Songshan Sect's attempts to win him over.
Back home, he looked at Huang Rong and the other woman and sighed, "We came to Hengshan to find someone, but who knew that Dongfang Bubai would suddenly come to kill us? Unbelievable..."
"This is ridiculous! I didn't do anything to him, and now he's causing me trouble!"
"That's not right..." Li Ping suddenly stood up, looked at Huang Rong and the other woman, and said, "Why do you think Dongfang Bubai retreated? He clearly still had strength left. Could he have swallowed that insult?"
"Could he be injured?"
Huang Rong said, "I don't think my palm strike really hurt him. His skill is far more profound than I imagined!"
Su Ying said, "It's possible. Although he suppressed the intoxication with medicine, it's definitely not a proper match. Forcibly raising one's internal energy under such circumstances could lead to injury!"
Li Ping immediately said, "I'll go check. If he's really injured, I'll find a chance to kill him!"
He will not be able to eat or sleep in peace until this enemy is dead!
There was another person who shared the same idea as Li Ping, and that was Wei Yixiao.
In terms of unpredictable movement, his lightness skill is indeed inferior to the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique, but when his disciple launches a long attack or runs away, the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique cannot catch him.
He remained behind the Sun Moon Cult, waiting for an opportunity...
