Martialism

Chapter 39's

Yi Ping naturally did not think when he had made such a bold challenge. He only said that in a moment of anger!!

For a moment, everyone was stunned even when Yi Ping had already stepped forward and extended his hand in a fighting position!

Ji Lingfeng was the first to recover her wits as she stepped forward beside Yi Ping, saying weakly, "Yi Ping, I am willing to fight with you!"

Yi Ping was touched. Just as he was about to speak, Yu’Er and Mei’Er also stepped forward as they shouted empathically, "Master, we are also willing to fight alongside you!"

Ding Yun wanted to step forward as well, but his humility held him back …

Lie Qing's heart was sliced and she tried very hard to hold back her tears because she knew that Yi Ping's action was suicide. He wished secretly that he had his internal strength back again …

Lele looked at Yi Ping emotionlessly and was surprised that so many girls were willing to neglect their lives for him.

The spectators were envious to see the sight.

Gongsun Jing, Nangong Le and Qiu Wufeng might be envious but they were not jealous of Yi Ping. In fact, the girls were not jealous of each other. They have been through a lot together in these past few days and have helped to attract each other up to this point.

Even Lele who did not live life and death with them, could see the spark of life in their eyes when they saw Yi Ping.

Yi Ping held the hands of Ji Lingfeng, Yu’Er, and Mei’Er one by one while saying, "Everything. You must treat your internal injuries first so as not to get worse."

Ji Lingfeng muttered, "What's the point if you're dead?"

Yu’Er said in a melancholy manner, "Tiang…"

He gulped and said softly, "Yi Ping.I'm sorry…"

Yi Ping smiled gently as he patted her on the shoulder, "Yu’Er I know. Maiden Ding has told the truth."

Mei’Er was already crying as she flew into her arms, sobbing. "Mr Yi Ping, evil cannot triumph over good. Remember that."

Yi Ping turned around and said softly to Ding Yun, "Yun, protect them.don't let the flying sword of Virtuous Palace accidentally injure them. You're the only one who knows this technique well enough…"

Ding Yun nodded silently as his eyes swelled. It was because he preferred to fight with her!

Ding Yun whispered, "Be careful of Xiao Da. While most of us know only one form of the Unbreakable Hand, the Penetrating Hand, Xiao Shuai has taught him the Breaking Hand and the Eighteen Folds of the Unbroken Hand."

Yi Ping nodded.

Ding Yun added, "And that Xiao Fei, she is also a very tough fighter. Many fighters stronger than him were killed by him in the past."

While Ding Yun whispered to Yi Ping, Ji Lingfeng looked at Lele with begging eyes. "Heavenly Saint, I hope you can help Yi Ping."

Lele said coldly, "Are you threatening me again? I helped you last time. Remember your promise to the Heavenly Palace."

Ji Lingfeng became calm.

Actually among all the girls, Lele was the closest to Yi Ping. Only Ding Yun knew about their special relationship. It was just that Lele felt uncomfortable to reveal it.

Lele said coldly, "Since he likes to be a hero, let him."

Yi Ping sniffed deeply and smiled. Although Lele looked cold, she was actually happy. It was because he really did not want him to risk his life.

Although Lele was cold but he actually sighed to himself, "I know you don't want me to fight, but do you think I'll watch near the fence and do nothing?"

Jue Yuan interjected by shouting, "Young bastard, you are thinking too much about yourself! You can't even beat me and you want to challenge all of us? What a joke!"

Jue Yuan had already stepped forward and had increased his martial power, displaying his famous martial achievement, the Merciless Palms!

Yi Ping wasted no more time as he quickly dashed forward to meet Jue Yuan!

Since Jue Yuan had underestimated Yi Ping last time and did not use his full strength, he was determined not to make the same mistake again. Therefore he had increased his martial power completely while yelling to Yi Ping, "Fuck, do you dare to take a punch from my palm?"

Yi Ping did not hesitate at all as he yelled back, "Who is afraid of you?"

Both Yi Ping and Jue Yuan had raised their palms and clashed with each other as everyone held their breaths!

There was a thunderous clap that burst forth violently as Yi Ping took three steps back before he could calm down!

Jue Yuan retreated six steps in bewilderment and at the end of the sixth step, he coughed up blood!

Yi Ping took a deep breath and circulated his complicated energy with Divine Revelation as he calmed his heartbeat. He's not hurt!

Lu Baiyun immediately caught Jue Yuan in his arms as he said, "Master Jue Yuan, are you alright?"

Jue Yuan really could not believe that the martial power of this Yi Ping youth had surpassed him by such a wide distance even as he stared at him furiously!

The warriors of the Honor Manor were astonished that Master Jue Yuan, one of the top exponents of the Honor Manor was unable to take a single blow from Yi Ping!

Jue Yuan wiped a mouthful of his blood with his sleeve as he took out his prayer beads while shouting, "Tianyi and Brother Lu, what are you waiting for? Attack her!"

Lu Baiyun and Zuo Tianyi immediately stepped forward with their long swords.

Xiao Da smirked, "It seems like the Honor Manor might need some help."

Xiao Da was the young master of Virtuous Palace and the only successor of Xiao Shuai now after his brother Xiao Yuanjia died. It would not be wrong to say that he represented the Virtue Palace without the presence of Xiao Shuai!

At this moment, he looked at Ji Lingfeng intently. It was because he was the main reason why Virtuous Palace was here. After receiving the news that he sighed around him, Clan Master Xiao Shuai immediately sent him with the utmost urgency to bring him back alive to him.

She wondered why her father wanted her so much. Upon seeing her incredible alluring beauty, she gritted her teeth. Even though he was unwilling to hand it over to his father but he was afraid of him.

Moreover, his father had sent Yuan Shao who was also the Elder of the Virtue Palace to watch over him. Therefore he could only silently sigh.

But she quickly looked at Yu’Er, Mei’Er, Ding Yun, Lie Qing and Lele happily.

This did not go unnoticed by Nangong Le who had clenched his fists and wished he could punch him right into his face!

Jue Yuan, Lu Baiyun and Zuo Tianyi were now besieging Yi Ping!

Zuo Tianyi said to Yi Ping, "Yi Ping, you better draw your sword. In the past, we might have fought a draw but today, you're not my opponent."

Even as he said this, his sword seemed to sparkle and his terrifying sword energy began to spread out in all directions!

Even Yuan Shao and Xiao Da were shocked by this phenomenon!

His sword energy was so powerful that it raised the terrifying evil air that Yuan Shao emitted!

Indeed, it was an Infinity-One swordplay!

The Infinity-One swordplay is the highest emblem of the Infinity Sword Game. The Old Sword Saint spent decades pondering the Infinite Mystery. While Infinity-Two is the merging of sword and complicated energy called sword energy, Infinity-One is the act of actually expelling it into deadly sword energy!

The Old Sword Saint had used the latter part of his life to research the Infinity-Zero myth but failed. Only in his final days, he had captured a part of Infinity-Zero. And before he died, he had instructed Zuo Tianyi about the possible intricate formula of First-Everness and Zero-Endurance.

The Old Sword Saint did not expect Zuo Tianyi to comprehend the full understanding of Infinity-Zero for decades to come.

But Zuo Tianyi had.

It was because he had witnessed a duel between two super exponents, Lie Qing and the Celestial Fairy that greatly increased his comprehension. Coupled with the near-death experience with Yuan Shao, he finally grabbed the Infinity-First!

Yi Ping could feel the terrifying sword energy emanating from Zuo Tianyi's sword.

Zuo Tianyi said coldly, "You won't be as lucky this time."

Even as he said that, he had hacked Yi Ping with a wedge down.

Even as Yi Ping repelled him with his emerald phoenix sword, he could feel a radiant cold energy piercing his sword into his arm!

Yi Ping could feel his sword arm weakening but he quickly increased his martial power and immediately countered with the Divine Horizon Hand with his left hand but Zuo Tianyi avoided it by taking a step back.

Suddenly, Lu Baiyun the Heartless Scholar had taken the opportunity for an attack to come from his back, as had Jue Yuan with his prayer beads!

The Heartless Swordsman was a swordsman and was ranked in one of the top exponents of the martial fraternity.

Lie Qing inevitably shouted out loudly, "Review!"

Yi Ping immediately turned his long sword and displayed Horizon Swordplay, fending off the attackers.

In an instant, Yi Ping, Lu Baiyun, Jue Yuan and Zuo Tianyi attacked so quickly that there were waves of wind power and cold radiant sword energy everywhere!

Overall, they had exchanged over a hundred blows in a short period of time!

The spectators were amazed as they could feel Zuo Tianyi's sword energy growing stronger while Yi Ping's martial power also increased!

Suddenly, Yi Ping shouted loudly even as a dozen Horizon Sword Pounds were exchanged in the middle!

Ji Lingfeng gasped, "Hand of the Asper Continuum Horizon!"

But instead of the Asper Continuum Horizon Hands, Yi Ping had merged it with Horizon Swordplay!

Lele almost ran into their midst because he knew how deadly the sword energy was in its physical form. He was surprised that this Zuo Tianyi had actually reached such a high level of divinity.

Just as he was about to run into their midst, Yi Ping had eliminated the sword energy that seemed impossible to block with a few waves of martial wind power!

He thought, "When did Yi Ping learn how to combine his Divine Horizon Hand with his Sacred Sword Game? And that enemy swordsman, he actually had such a high level of divinity but he would immediately trigger a Divine Disaster and would soon die. At this point, his blood and heart were the most precious to the Heavenly Palace.”.

But he kept getting nervous. It was because he knew that Yi Ping was unable to maintain his martial power for a long time and would eventually be defeated!

Suddenly, Jue Yuan was pushed back forcefully by the rippling wind power of the Horizon Sword Game and he was torn apart by the piercing cold waves of Zuo Tianyi's sword energy!

Lu Baiyun barely escaped even as he fended off the dozens of wind forces coming from Yi Ping and the sword energy bows that had been circulating from Zuo Tianyi at the same time!

He was struck in his chest by the Asper Continuum Horizon Hands and was severely injured by the three piercing sword energies!

Even as Lu Baiyun fled back to her camp's security line in shock, "Zuo Tianyi, you have dared to kill Master Jue …"

Before he could finish, he was forced to retreat three more steps as a powerful wind force attack struck him!

Everyone was gasping for breath at the death duel between Yi Ping and Zuo Tianyi, forcing to retreat even as they watched!

They could only see two dark shadows in the middle, the clang of a shrieking sword and the sound of the clangs of explosions blaring from their blows. The resulting wind power, was unlike anything they had ever seen before!

Yu’Er and Mei’Er had leaped forward as they raised their fingers as they displayed the Divine Emerald Skill, protecting their comrades from the deadly cold energy that flew towards them!

The other side was not as lucky as a dozen spectators were killed instantly even though they were all standing a considerable distance away. This immediately caused panic and many of the warriors from the Honor Manor began to retreat hastily into safer positions!

Only Xiao Da, Xiao Fei and Yuan Shao remained on their land and watched the duel expectantly.

Xiao Fei said, "I had no idea that the Honor Manor had highly skilled fighters on their side. I think that the young master of the Infinity Sword Clan is just a useless thing. Now, this is interesting."

Xiao Da hummed coldly, "Xiao Fei, let's add something more interesting and make a mess before I get bored."

Yuan Shao stared intently at Xiao Da but Xiao Da had already thrust four long swords into the ground!

In a split second, he had drawn up the long swords one by one as he sent them spinning to the other side, displaying the Flying Sword Technique of the Virtuous Palace!

Ding Yun was already anticipating it as he quickly threw his sword into a flying round the moment the first sword was deflected!

Yu’Er and Mei’Er had raised their precious long swords and fended off the second and third flying swords!

The fourth flying sword was deflected by Lele.

Xiao Fei said coldly, "It seems that the other party only has four people who can handle your flying sword. Of the four, only Heavenly Emissaries seem to have the martial level to actually receive your blows. The other three are no match for you. ."

Even while Xiao Fei was talking, Xiao Da had thrown over six flying swords to the other side!

Xiao Da said coldly, "Xiao Fei, come in and join in for some fun."

Xiao Fei said, "We might hurt the twin brothers …"

Xiao Da said, "There's nothing to worry about. We're not aiming at them. They can choose not to fend off our flying swords and avoid them altogether."

Yu’Er, Mei’Er and Ding Yun had spent most of their martial power to fend off the flying sword and had retreated a few steps!

Qiu Wufeng and Nangong Le had tried to fend off one of the flying swords but instead of stopping it, it made them fly backwards!

Ji Lingfeng caught Qiu Wufeng and Nangong Le as she said hurriedly, "Everything's back!"

Fortunately, the flying sword was deflected just in time by Lele even as he flew past Nangong Le and Qiu Wufeng or the consequences would be disastrous!

Meanwhile, Yi Ping struggled with his life as he showed blow after punch with his sword and palm. It was because if he stopped his martial power now, then he could not stop Zuo Tianyi's sword energy from hurting him.

Zuo Tianyi did not have an easy time either. He had thought he could end Yi Ping's life with his Infinity-Zero with just a few punches but Yi Ping's martial power was shocking.

What Yi Ping did not have in the technique, he made up for it with incredible martial power.

Both Yi Ping and Zuo Tianyi were sweating a lot and gasping for breath. It was because the two of them were fighting with all of their martial power and executing dozens of punches at a time. The first one to stop will lose!

Zuo Tianyi shouted as he showed a barrage of punches, "Yi Ping, why don't you give up!"

Yi Ping increased his martial power again with Divine Revelation as he sent a powerful rippling wind force with his sword towards Zuo Tianyi, "That's because I have people to protect. I can't lose."

Zuo Tianyi hummed coldly, "An extremely noble mission. But still, it is stupidity. You need skills to protect. If you beg me now, I might still let you live!"

Yi Ping raised his sword as he counterattacked with three rippling sword blows even as he shouted back, "Zuo Tianyi, why are you on their side?! I thought you were my friend! Why did you do that to Ding Yun?"

Zuo Tianyi said, "It's because I don't want to die yet. As for Ding Yun, I am very disappointed with him …"

Yi Ping shouted in disappointment, "You have no right to criticize him!"

Zuo Tianyi laughed coldly, "I can even tell you this. I'm also the one leading Honor Manor and Virtuous Palace here."

At the moment of his anger, Yi Ping lost his concentration for a moment and his left shoulder was pierced by the boundless punch from Zuo Tianyi!

Just when Zuo Tianyi was about to attack Yi Ping again with another follow-up attack, Lele flew at a shocking speed towards them and stopped his attack, instead, slashing and slightly injuring Zuo Tianyi in his chest which was shocked by his sudden appearance!

Yi Ping was startled as he shouted hurriedly, "How did you get in here? Get out of here now! It's too dangerous!"

Lele shocked and shocked everyone by suddenly moving into the duel death zone!

Everyone thought he would be torn apart by the sword energy and wind force tearing in the middle. But somehow he managed to get to the middle without being affected, raising eyebrows even from Yuan Shao, Xiao Fei and Xiao Da.

Lele had reached the Transverse divinity state of the Heavenly Divinity. At this holy state, he could see invisible waves of dangerous sword energies. Moreover, the Divine Celestial Force was a defensive martial skill that could neutralize offensive energy. Lele's current state of divinity with Heavenly Divine Power was such that he could ignore Zuo Tianyi's sword energy completely.

Lele ignored his warning and threw the Divine Echo at him, "Yi Ping, use this sword!"

As Yi Ping unsheathed his sword, a low singing sound rang out as the sword shattered the surrounding sword energy, knocking Zuo Tianyi a few steps back!

Zuo Tianyi was surprised, "What kind of sword is this?"

Just when Yi Ping was about to take the opportunity to avenge Zuo Tianyi with his emerald phoenix sword and Divine Echo, the flying sword flew at a shocking speed in front of him!

Even as he had raised both of his swords with all of his martial power, he was still thrown backwards a few steps back.

Lele swung her long scythe to fend off the flying sword in time as she asked gently, "Yi Ping, are you okay?"

Xiao Fei, Xiao Da and Yuan Shao were now beside Zuo Tianyi!

Even Yuan Shao asked, "What sword is this?" It was because he had never seen a sword that could sing on its own and could even dissipate sword energy!

Lele said coldly, "This is a Divine Echo."

Yuan Shao was surprised. It was because the Divine Echoes were the sword of legend and legends had stated that it belonged to one of the Divine Star Elves. Although Yuan Shao had read it but after all it was just a beautiful legend and no one had actually seen it.

Even Xiao Fei and Zuo Tianyi were a little surprised.

Xiao Fei said coldly, "Peaceful of the sword's name in the past and not the real one."

Yi Ping said coldly, "Good, all of you have decided to join the fight. What are we waiting for?"

Yuan Shao said coldly, "This girl is here. He claimed to be from the Heavenly Palace yet he did not know the rules of the martial fraternity? Yet he had disrupted the duel."

Lele replied coldly, "It's just a futility to seek honor and glory for all of you. For me, I intend to just fight together with Yi Ping."

Even as Lele spoke, he had dismantled his long scythe into two scythes in both hands and dropped the long black metal pole onto the ground.

Yi Ping was touched but he stepped in front of Lele as he said, "Lele, back off. This opponent is too dangerous for you."

Lele said softly, "Even knowing you might die? Why are you so stupid? Why are humans so stupid and wasting their lives this way? Why do you insist on being a hero? If we join hands, then we can still have a glimmer of hope."

Yi Ping said softly, "That's because I want to protect everyone I care about."

Lele shook her head as she held onto her arm, sighing dejectedly, "I don't understand why you are willing to leave your precious life behind. I am the cold divine star of heaven. Can you hear .. The light stirred my heart, do you know.what shook my heart.You have awakened my emotions and filled my lonely life. Our hearts have exchanged intricately with each other.Can you see a transparent mirror in my heart?”

Although he spoke softly but his slow and unhurried words sounded very clear to everyone and it was so heartbreaking that many fighters were shedding tears.

At this moment, everyone could feel the emotional turmoil in his heart!

It was because due to his Divine State of Transverse, he had unwittingly affected everyone with his emotions.

Even Zuo Tianyi, Yuan Shao, Xiao Da and Xiao Fei were secretly moved by him and did not bother him.

Reverend Liu Qingcheng was shocked when he saw Yu’Er and Mei’Er, "Aren't these emotions similar to the highest level of Dual Heart Intricate? I have ... really watched it …"

Lie Qing, Ji Lingfeng, Yu’Er, Mei’Er, Nangong Le, Qiu Wufeng and Gongsun Jing were astonished at the sentiment shown by the Heavenly Envoy publicly to Yi Ping.

Ji Lingfeng was the most confused. He had asked the Heavenly Envoy to help Yi Ping and the Heavenly Envoy seemed most reluctant to help. When she saw the way Yi Ping and Lele looked at each other, she knew that their affection was real.

Ding Yun quietly walked beside Lie Qing…

As Lele looked at Yi Ping, her silent tears dripped onto Divine Echo as she said. "There is a seal in the Divine Echoes. Only the tears of the heavenly elf could break this seal. The Divine Echoes are now yours…"

Yi Ping trembled as he muttered, "Lele..don't cry.I can feel your heart..I can feel your heart..I can feel your emotions and heartbreak..don't cry..we will fight together as one..”.

Lele smiled gently, "Really?!"

When he smiled, it was like the coming of spring and the darkness disappeared sending joy into everyone's hearts!

Yi Ping nodded.

Lele cried softly, "That's amazing. Even if I turn into dust and voidness, I will always remember you …"

He had secretly unblocked all the forbidden heavenly channels in his body and had raised his Divine Heavenly Power to the highest level as he smiled at Yuan Shao, Xiao Fei, Zuo Tianyi and Xiao Da. In order to protect Yi Ping, he was willing to sacrifice his own life and even retaliate using the Heavenly Earth Separation Skill of the Heavenly Divine Power.

He smiled to himself, "We'll be dust together then …"

"Not so fast."

Lie Qing had walked quietly next to Yi Ping!

Yi Ping was surprised, "Lie Qing, you haven't recovered from your injuries and shouldn't be here. Hurry back!"

Catfish jerked slowly, "Lighted Star …"

Lie Qing smiled dazzlingly as she swung her long black sword easily, saying softly. "Yi Ping, worry about yourself first. Your wounds are still bleeding now. I'm fine now."

Yi Ping was surprised, "You have recovered your martial power?"

Lie Qing smiled, "I'm not only recovering my martial power, but also my Unbeatable Divine Power."

Suddenly, there was an explosion of marital power emanating from his surroundings!

Yuan Shao and Xiao Da said simultaneously, "Indefeated Divine Power?!"

They could see seven faint blue light attacks coiling around him!

It was barely visible to anyone but the practitioners of the Divine Power of Virtue had recognized what it meant!

Yuan Shao had prided himself on mastering the Divine Virtue Force and he could only unleash five attacks of invisible power around him and it was already extremely powerful.

Xiao Fei and Xiao Da could only set three and that had pushed them as super exponents of the martial fraternity. Just their level of achievement alone was enough to withstand the powerful sword energy of Infinity-Zero!

Yuan Shao asked, "How do you know the Unbeatable Divine Power?! Who are you really?"

Lie Qing said coldly, "Have you heard of the Heavenly Teaser?"

Yuan Shao nodded, "You have something to do with him?"

Lie Qing said coldly, "What do you think?"

Yuan Shao said coldly, "It's very nice. Today, we have finally found the successor of the Heavenly Teaser. No wonder you dare to call yourself the Palace of the New Virtue…"

Yi Ping interrupted Yuan Shao, "Are we still fighting or what?"

Suddenly, Yuan Shao turned around and started walking away as he was heard saying coldly. "I don't believe true love exists between heaven and earth. Three days. In three days, we'll be back to take your life. In three days, if you don't hand the Holy Girl secretly to us, don't blame us for being cruel."

Everyone was astonished that Yuan Shao would actually leave just like that.

There were shouts and cheers from both sides. It was because both sides were too tired and too many died.

Even Xiao Da was surprised. He stared for a long time at the Heavenly Envoy before he hurriedly chased after Yuan Shao.

Zuo Tianyi said coldly to Yi Ping before he left, "You only have three more days."

Xiao Fei looked silently at the other side. His childhood friend, Ding Yunzi had collapsed in the arms of the Holy Girl. He had seen Lie Qing and Yunzi holding hands before he fainted.

Suddenly, he recalled the legend of the Red Eye Clan; the Red Eye Clan had taught the Divine Benevolent Power to the practitioners, just to drain their complicated energy at the right time to advance their Unbeatable Divine Power. For them to achieve their heinous goals, they had established the Palace of Virtue.

He had no doubt that this Lie Qing knew the Unbeatable Divine Power or that he would not be able to recover his martial power in such a short amount of time. He could only say quietly to himself, "Yunzi, do you know what you have done? You may have endangered Virtuous Palace."

If anyone thought that Yuan Shao really had a good change of heart then they must be wrong big time!

It was because Yuan Shao was still his ever-cold and calculating self. He was confident that he would bring Yi Ping and the Heavenly Envoy until Lie Qing entered.

There were three main reasons why he gave them three days.

Firstly, the practitioners of the Unbeatable Divine Power would naturally probably already have mastered the Unbeatable Golden Body. Hence he needed time to teach Xiao Da, Xiao Fei and even Zuo Tianyi about the weakness of the Unbeatable Divine Power and the Unbeatable Golden Body.

Secondly, they had long battles before and most of them had already exhausted most of their martial power. Hence they needed time to recuperate and regain their martial power to be at their best.

However, the above is still not the main point. Third, he needed the opportunity to exhaust his Unbeatable Divine Power to advance his martial progress. That is his main purpose!
