Chapter 58 Defeating All Heroes
With just one move, Shi Zhong was defeated!
Moreover, the defeat was so devastating that Shi Zhong didn't even manage to touch the hem of his opponent's clothes.
In an instant, everyone in Dali changed color, their previous contempt vanished, and their hearts suddenly felt heavy.
"I can't understand this person's martial arts!"
"Could it be a Grandmaster?"
Many people speculate.
"I'm afraid... this isn't the way of martial arts!"
At this moment, Granny Mu's face was extremely ugly, and she said, "This might be some kind of magic!"
The Taiyi Sect was very knowledgeable about immortal techniques. The moment the black-robed youth made his move, she didn't even see him shoot out any hidden weapons. He attacked out of thin air and injured people with his own energy!
The ability to emanate qi from the body is something only cultivators can achieve...
Upon hearing her words, the expressions of those around her changed drastically.
Magical arts!
The immortals' transmission of their teachings is known throughout the world. The geniuses of various sects participated in the Jinyang Palace's teachings transmission conference yesterday and all received some immortal techniques. However, the time has been too short, and they are far from becoming true immortal cultivators.
There's actually one Northern Hu (a type of Chinese opera)?
How can we resist this?
"Hehe, for the sake of the peace and friendship between our two countries, I won't kill you today, but I'll teach you a lesson!"
With a flick of his hand, the black-robed youth severed one of Shi Zhong's ears, then kicked him, sending Shi Zhong flying backward.
"Shi Zhong!"
Shi Hao rushed forward and caught Shi Zhong. Seeing Shi Zhong's appearance, he was heartbroken.
"Who else?"
The young man in the black robe scanned the entire room.
The people of Dali remained silent!
"The appearance of divine arts is truly extraordinary! Excellent, excellent! This humble monk is willing to learn from you!"
The suffering has ended.
Everyone was visibly awestruck, but Ku Jue showed no fear. Li Guan hurriedly said, "Master Ku Jue, if you can defeat him, I will reward you handsomely!"
Kujue leaped into the arena at incredible speed, charging towards the black-robed youth. He dodged two spiritual energy attacks from the youth in succession, then closed in, a flash of golden light emanating from his body.
"Can even the bittersweet experience possess magical powers?"
"No, he hasn't mastered it. This is their lineage's immortal technique, the Golden Body of the Arhat. He's using the other person's hand to hone himself!"
"What courage!"
The crowd gasped in surprise.
But soon after, Kujue was finally defeated, and blood kept flowing from his shoulder.
Despite his exceptional talent, he was ultimately not a true cultivator.
"Good monk!"
The young man in black robes' initial contempt lessened slightly.
"We, brother and sister, have also come to learn from your superior skills!"
The Sun and Moon Swords also emerged, and the actions of the one who had just been uttered had given them some inspiration.
The two swords flashed continuously, which was quite astonishing. When the two swords were combined, the power was even greater, and occasionally some sword energy could be generated.
However, after more than ten rounds, the two were still defeated!
For a time, the atmosphere in Dali became increasingly heavy.
Everyone could see that Kujue, the Sun and Moon Swords, and others lived up to their reputation as geniuses. Unfortunately, they lacked time to grow, and their mortal martial arts were no match for the methods of immortals!
"Master Lin has arrived!"
At that moment, a voice finally rang out.
Lin Ruoxue has arrived.
Everyone who saw her breathed a sigh of relief.
If there's anyone who can bring them hope, it's Lin Ruoxue.
She is far ahead of the younger generation.
"Grandmaster?"
The young man in black robes stiffened slightly.
Lin Ruoxue stepped forward calmly and said, "I am willing to use my mortal martial arts to learn the wondrous techniques of immortality—"
She was dressed in white and moved instantly.
It moved so fast that the onlookers couldn't even see it clearly, as if it were a ghost.
Her agility and lightness skills were already unparalleled in the world. Her casual palm strikes were exquisite and unparalleled. She was close to the target and struck continuously. Even the young man in black had some difficulty in resisting her!
However, the young man in black let out a low roar, and a mysterious light flashed across his body, condensing into a light shield. Lin Ruoxue's palm strike landed on the light shield, causing it to tremble, but she was unable to break through it!
"He retaliated in defense!"
"The power of a grandmaster is truly astonishing!"
We must win!
In an instant, everyone in Dali was invigorated.
So far in the competition, all the masters of Dali have been defeated. Even those with exceptional talent, such as Kujue and the Sun and Moon Swordsmen, have only managed to hold out for a few moves despite their best efforts.
But now there is finally someone who can force a cultivator to defend himself!
For a moment, Lin Ruoxue and her opponent were locked in a stalemate.
Lin Ruoxue's movements were too fast, and the opponent's sharp spiritual energy could not hit her, but her surging attacks were also blocked by the opponent's light barrier.
Sand and stones flew in the training ground, Lin Ruoxue's figure was like a startled swan, and the clanging sound rang out continuously. The light barrier changed, and the wind howled!
Everyone in the audience was stunned and dazzled.
"No wonder he's a grandmaster, hailed as the supreme martial arts master!"
"When martial arts reach their peak, one can even contend with cultivators!"
"If even Lin Ruoxue can't beat him, then it's really over!"
Everyone was extremely nervous.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour has passed. Lin Ruoxue struck out with her palm, and this palm strike was the result of her full strength. The black-robed youth's light shield also shone brightly!
Bang!
With a loud bang, Lin Ruoxue and the black-robed youth each took ten steps back.
The two sides are evenly matched!
Both of them had fought with all their might until this point, and they had both lost the strength to fight any longer!
"A draw!"
"The Grandmaster and the cultivator fought to a draw!"
"So, neither winning nor losing... that's fine too!"
For a time, there was a sense of relief among both the government and the public.
After all, Lin Ruoxue is already the strongest among the younger generation of Dali. If she loses, Dali will be completely finished.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Da Li to have such a figure. Your Majesty, how about we compete again tomorrow?"
The little prince of the Northern Hu stood up and spoke.
Emperor Xianxian frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "Let's fight again tomorrow!"
……
News of the battle spread throughout the court and the public, causing a major shock in Kyoto.
"Your Majesty, is something troubling you?"
The night was deep, but Emperor Xianxian was still reading about the magical arts and techniques. There were also some Azure Cloud Fruits placed beside him to provide him with spiritual energy.
However, he never truly cultivated spiritual energy in his dantian.
"Tomorrow's battle is likely to end badly."
Emperor Xianxian shook his head: "As long as cultivators have enough spiritual objects to replenish their spiritual energy, their combat power can be greatly extended. However, even though Lin Ruoxue is a martial arts grandmaster, her inner energy will eventually run out!"
Today Lin Ruoxue exhausted the opponent's spiritual energy, but what about tomorrow? The opponent will be prepared, how can she fight back then?
Eunuch Dou said, "This old servant believes that the only hope of defeating the opponent now lies with Lin Ruoxue. Unless she truly becomes a cultivator, it will be extremely difficult."
Emperor Xianxian said, "With only one day, even if she is exceptionally talented, it is impossible."
Eunuch Dou said, "Your Majesty, this old servant has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it..."
Emperor Xianxian said, "Speak plainly!"
"The Imperial Seal of the State governs the destiny of the world. Obtaining this item can help cultivators break through their cultivation realm quickly. If we could borrow it from Lin Ruoxue for one night, it might really be possible for her to enter the Qi Refining Realm."
Eunuch Dou knelt on the ground: "This old servant was only speaking out of turn, please forgive me, Your Majesty! This old servant dared to speak so presumptuously because I am concerned about the honor and disgrace of the Great Li..."
Emperor Xianxian frowned.
Few in the world know that the Imperial Seal of the State is actually a supreme treasure for spiritual cultivation.
It has been passed down through the dynasties and embodies the destiny of the world.
But giving it to an outsider? That's ultimately inappropriate!
"This old servant has heard that the Yin Marrow of the Mysterious Maiden is of paramount importance to His Highness the Third Prince. If we can obtain it, His Highness may be able to achieve the True Dragon Technique more quickly, and His Majesty may be able to witness the descent of the immortals sooner!"
Then Eunuch Dou spoke.
Emperor Xianxian finally nodded and said, "Deliver it personally!"
He thought for a moment and then said, "In addition, issue an order to summon all the masters in the world to the capital to buy some time for Lin Ruoxue!"
Eunuch Dou said, "His Majesty is wise!"
……
late at night.
Eunuch Dou personally went to Jinyang Palace and delivered the Imperial Seal of the State.
……
"Master, I got it."
Inside a secret chamber, Lin Ruoxue calmly looked at the jade seal in her hand and said, "Is this the one that can guide the saints?"
An ancient voice echoed: "The Abyss Realm is blocking the return of the saints. Only the Imperial Seal, which embodies the will of all living beings in the Abyss Realm, can open a path... Moreover, only this kind of condensed fortune can revive the Emperor's Soul to some extent!"
Lin Ruoxue nodded and said, "I will set up the formation now."
With a wave of her hand, a flash of light appeared, and pieces of blood-red crystals appeared around her, forming a needle technique.
She placed the Imperial Seal of the State in the center of the needlework, and then took out a black human skull.
The crimson crystal lit up, and from within the Imperial Seal, a pale golden light seemed to slowly emanate, seeping into the black human skull...
……
"My sister fought that cultivator to a draw?"
Ning'an City.
Upon hearing the news from the Beijing Express, Lin Ruobing was extremely shocked.
The Northern Hu delegation entered the capital, held a martial arts contest, and defeated all the heroes of the capital.
Only Lin Ruoxue can withstand it; the battle is even, and we'll fight again tomorrow!
"No, that's a cultivator..."
Lin Ruoxue bit her lower lip tightly and said, "My sister is likely to be in grave danger in tomorrow's battle!"
She has now entered the Qi Refining stage and knows the great gap between a true cultivator and a martial artist.
"I want to go to the capital!"
She spoke directly, looking at Li Lan.
Li Lan frowned slightly, deep in thought.
He always felt that Lin Ruoxue had just broken ties with the Lin family and sought refuge with Jinyang Palace, and then the Northern Hu delegation came to the capital, bringing with them the Xuan Nu Yin Marrow that Li Guan desperately needed... All of this was too suspicious.
He sensed something was wrong...
Will going to Beijing now involve me in some other conspiracy? Or will it disrupt the plans of some people with ulterior motives?
"Teacher, if I could obtain a hundred catties of spiritual treasure, perhaps... I could successfully master the True Dragon Technique!"
Li Yue also had some hope.
In just a few days, Liu Ziwen and others, following Li Lan's instructions, swiftly and decisively slaughtered the city's powerful clans, opened granaries to distribute grain, redistributed land, and attracted a large influx of refugees. As a result, Li Yue's fortune was soaring that he was able to activate the True Dragon Technique.
All that's missing is resources!
The hundred-pound spiritual object in the hands of the Northern Hu delegation was also very important to her.
After a moment's thought, Li Lan nodded: "Then... let's go to the capital."
……
The next morning.
Li Lan, Lin Ruobing, Li Yue, and others went to Beijing together.
After sending someone to inform them and receiving the emperor's approval, they arrived at the training ground.
"Is Lin Ruoxue here? Come and fight quickly!"
The young man in black robes spoke loudly.
"Master Lin has urgent business to attend to and will fight you later. Today, the other masters of our dynasty will fight you first!"
Eunuch Dou spoke loudly.
"Heh, something urgent? If you're scared, just admit it, don't make excuses!"
The young man in black robes coldly said, "Without her, who dares to fight me?!"
A glance swept across the area, and the room fell silent.
No one dared to answer!
……
