Chapter 56 Instant Defeat of the Two Elders of Xuanming
Chapter 57 Instant Defeat of the Two Elders of Xuanming
As luck would have it, Lu Zhangke and his junior brother Hebi Weng landed not far apart, and the two soon met.
After learning that the Yuan Dynasty had been destroyed, the two lived in constant fear, terrified that they would be exterminated as remnants of the Mongol Yuan regime.
But after a while, the two realized they had been overthinking things!
So many years have passed, who would still do this?
We're just wandering rogues; who would know we once served the Mongol Yuan dynasty?
The two were finally able to live a peaceful life, but they couldn't bear the lack of wealth and luxury. So they tried to use their old tricks again and seek refuge in a royal palace, but no one wanted them.
Because of Prince Ning's rebellion, these members of the imperial clan are now keeping a low profile and dare not recruit such chivalrous heroes.
The two were dejected, feeling that all their skills were useless.
At this moment, they unexpectedly encountered He Taichong and his wife from the Kunlun Sect. Previously, they and Zhao Min had captured people from the six major sects, and the two sides could be said to have a deep-seated hatred for each other.
Enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and the two sides started fighting. Unfortunately, He Taichong and his wife were no match for the two men in martial arts, and were eventually killed.
After killing the two men, the Xuanming Elders also received some kind of hint. They then made up their minds to take this as a stepping stone to advancement and reported it to the authorities, only concealing the fact that they were also extraordinary individuals.
As a result, he was mistaken for a charlatan and kicked out.
The two were disheartened, but then someone found them; it was a centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
The centurion told them that what they were saying was nonsense, but if they could prove to him that wealth and glory were no longer a dream, he could provide them with some support.
The two immediately got excited and decided to capture several extraordinary individuals, while also using some secret texts to recruit experts of the same era.
As it turned out, they actually managed to bring the people from the Vajra Sect here.
These people from the Vajra Sect were really lucky. They landed not far away and quickly gathered together. After meeting acquaintances, they were all extremely excited.
The key question now is, where do we capture these supernatural beings?
They can't just arrest us, can they?
After a brainstorming session, they narrowed down the concept of "supernatural beings" to those who had recently emerged in the martial arts world but had previously had no reputation whatsoever.
They quickly caught one, and after some interrogation, they realized they hadn't made a mistake, which made them very happy.
They happened to be near Hengyang City when they heard the news that Li Chenzhou had challenged Li Ping and suffered a crushing defeat.
Li Ping also has a background, because the "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" he practiced was originally the world's top sword technique, and he was even known as the number one martial artist in the world at that time.
However, Li Chenzhou's name had never appeared in the martial arts world before. He immediately challenged a branch of the Sun Moon Sect, and no one could say for sure what kind of martial arts he used.
So they set their sights on Li Chenzhou, but they didn't expect to run into a brick wall.
Li Chenzhou dared to challenge the number one martial artist, so they naturally overestimated his strength. They even used the only items they had on them, "Drunken Immortal Spirit Lotus" and "Strange Fragrant Wood," and still lost so many men.
So, both of them are feeling a bit down now.
Hebi Weng said, "Who would have thought that Li Chenzhou, whose name I've never heard of, would possess such strength? How could such a master be unknown in our time?"
"How strong must Li Ping be? Isn't he about the same as Zhang Sanfeng?"
"To have such strength at such a young age is truly terrifying in the martial arts world a hundred years from now."
Being defeated by Zhang Sanfeng in one move back then was a nightmare for the two senior brothers.
The two of them naturally hadn't considered that Li Chenzhou wasn't even from the same world as them; they simply couldn't have imagined it—
Lu Zhangke said, "This is simply because we have too few people and insufficient intelligence. Next time, we'll do a better job with intelligence gathering and recruit more skilled martial artists!"
"As long as the authorities report this matter, we won't have to worry about leaks, and we can openly recruit the best talents of this era!"
His mind is sharper than Hebi Weng's; he thinks things through more thoroughly.
Just then, someone came to report that the adults had arrived!
The two men stood respectfully to greet him, but felt deeply aggrieved.
Back then, Princess Shaomin treated us all with courtesy, but now, facing a mere centurion, we have to grovel and we almost shed tears of grievance.
Then the centurion entered with several flag bearers, and said arrogantly, "Have you caught the man?"
Lu Zhangke said respectfully, "We have captured two. As long as you kill one of them, we will know whether what we said is true."
He gritted his teeth in his heart: "As long as this matter is reported, we'll be given important positions by our superiors. A mere centurion? I'll just slap him to death."
Without saying a word, the centurion went straight to the prison and stabbed a strange man to death.
His expression changed drastically at first, then he exclaimed with wild joy, "It's true! It's actually true—"
"Those bastards in the Imperial Observatory even said that a monstrous star has descended from the sky, bringing chaos to the world. Some even wanted His Majesty to issue an edict of self-reproach. I think they just wanted to trick him into being flogged in court—"
"This is hardly a demonic star, this is hardly a source of chaos!?"
"This is an auspicious sign."
Just then, Lu Zhangke and Hebi Weng exclaimed in surprise, "Who?"
Two figures suddenly appeared and burst into the prison at an incredible speed.
One of the figures lunged at Gang Xiang in an instant and exchanged a palm strike with him.
It should be noted that when Gang Xiang disguised himself as Kong Xiang, he could even make Zhang Sanfeng vomit blood with a single palm strike. Although it was a sneak attack, his strength was definitely not weak.
But after exchanging a palm strike with this person, he felt his whole body was ice cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he could hardly muster any internal energy!
Xuanming Divine Palm?
What the hell? Are they the disciples and grand-disciples of the Xuanming Elders?
Then, upon seeing the man's face clearly, his expression changed drastically: "Wei Yixiao!?"
Fortunately, his external martial arts skills were powerful, and he was confident that he could continue to fight Wei Yixiao. He just needed to be careful of Wei Yixiao's palm strikes.
Meanwhile, another person lunged at the two Xuanming Elders, his sword energy like a rainbow, terrifying and awe-inspiring.
Seeing the speed of the newcomer and the sharpness of his sword light, the two elders of Xuanming changed their expressions drastically. They both unleashed a palm strike, instantly filling the air with chilling energy.
Unexpectedly, the sword light suddenly retracted, and the man actually withdrew his sword and met the attack with both palms, intending to fight the two of them head-on!
The two were initially delighted, then flew into a rage!
Even Zhang Sanfeng wouldn't dare to take on two of our Xuanming Divine Palms alone!
How dare you look down on us like this?
The two men frantically channeled their inner energy, unleashing the power of the Xuanming Divine Palm to its limit. The next moment, their four palms collided.
The Xuanming Elders' expressions changed drastically, because their overwhelming palm force was instantly reversed.
Their Xuanming Divine Palm technique is most vulnerable to being forced back by someone with overwhelming palm force!
How could someone so young possess such terrifying cultivation?
But I clearly didn't feel that his palm strength was that strong!
No, it's not that the palm force was forced back, but rather a mysterious skill of using the opponent's force against them.
It might even be above the Ming Cult's Great Shift of Heaven and Earth?
Wait, could this be the legendary "Tai Xu Hua Yan"?
This man is Li Ping, the number one martial arts master.
Unable to retaliate after such a heavy blow, Li Ping struck their vital points, causing them to fall to the ground.
Then the longsword was drawn again, and the head of Gang Xiang, who was fighting with Wei Yixiao, was cut off.
Li Ping laughed and said, "Bat King Wei, am I right? There aren't many of them to begin with, and their defenses aren't very strong."
"Why bother with all this complicated planning? We can just storm in, kill them all, and be done with it!"
"These things are best kept as simple as possible!"
Wei Yixiao was speechless.
He had been searching for people of his time, but he didn't encounter any of his fellow disciples. Instead, he saw the secret document from the Xuanming Elders recruiting people. He vaguely felt that he had seen something similar somewhere before, so he paid attention to it and eventually found this place.
At this time, Li Ping received news from the Sun Moon Sect, found this place, and the two met again, so they cooperated once more.
It has to be said, it's quite a coincidence.
The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and several junior officers were so frightened that their bodies went limp.
They were also skilled in martial arts, so after witnessing Li Ping and Wei Yixiao's skills, they realized just how terrifying these two were.
The centurion gritted his teeth and drew his embroidered spring knife: "How dare you kill someone in front of me!"
Li Ping calmly looked at him: "Tell me, what exactly happened? If you're lucky, I'll leave you with a whole corpse!"
The centurion flew into a rage: "You dare kill an official?"
Li Ping said calmly, "Why not?"
Li Ping knew that the secret of "killing extraordinary people and receiving blessings" would be exposed sooner or later.
Therefore, I must act extremely tough, tough enough to make the government give up this idea, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to get by in the future!
Of course, this cannot be achieved by force alone.
He had his own plans—
