Martialism
Chapter 48's
An old man with a long white beard had leaped out from the shadows of the dense undergrowth. He looked surprised that Lingfeng could actually find her hiding place even though she had disguised her existence with the Deep Resounding Skill, a skill that could emit her voice evenly around!
They were surprised that it was actually an unarmed old man.
Lingfeng was dumbfounded as she quickly thought, “Where do all my secret projectiles go?”
Yi Ping had stepped forward as he shouted, “Who are you ..”
The old man ignored Yi Ping; he did not look pleased at all as he pointed his finger at Lingfeng, “A cruel and deadly secret projectile technique. How do you guess my location?”
Lingfeng laughed softly, The “Birds told me!”
The old man growled, “Junk. Birds can't talk..”.
Ding Yun said quietly, “Although birds cannot talk but birds can see you. When birds fly over you, they take a detour. Although you have tried to hide your evil air but animals are very sensitive.”
The old man hummed coldly, “It looks like in my old age, I have learned something new today.”
Suddenly, the old man was enveloped by a powerful killing evil intent! The evil intent of killing him was even more deadly and purer than Yuan Shao!
Yi Ping was startled for a moment but he repeated, “Who are you? Why are you acting so secretive and what do you mean by what you said earlier?”
The old man pointed to Mei’Er, “Since you have already plucked your sword, let's have fun today.”
Mei’Er cold humming, “So it's just a depraved old man!”
He had flown over to the old man, showing the Flying Swallow Bird Slash but the old man raised his hand and dropped it forcefully to the side!
Yu’Er jerked, “Mei’Er!”
But before the old man could seize Mei’Er, he was attacked by a powerful hazy attack by Xiao Youxue!
He silently blocked all of his explosive attacks with his left hand and counterattacked with his right hand aimed at him.
The moment Youxue received a punch from his right hand, there was a violent clash as he was thrown backwards!
He was really surprised. This old man had actually fended off all of his Penetrating Hands when he had secretly appeared and replied to him almost instantly!
He warned the others even as he quickly regained his balance, “Be careful! This old man is dangerous! He is a super exponent!”
The old man was also secretly surprised by the young girl's martial power. Although this girl looked weak but when she suddenly attacked him, every punch that came from her had so much martial power that it could crush stones! He was barely conscious and quickly countered with his remaining martial power to him.
He was astonished that this young girl could take her blow without suffering the slightest ill effects.
Even as he pushed Youxue away, he was struck by the flying sword thrown by Ding Yun!
Ding Yun had timed his flying sword right at the exact moment when his martial power was drawn so he could not avoid it!
The speed of his flying sword was so shocking, imbued by Ding Yun's newly acquired Invincible Divine Power that it was even more deadly than in the past!
But something incredible happened!
The old man raised his left hand as the air around him rattled with the intense pressure from his martial power. Before Ding Yun's flying sword could even attack him, there was a rumbling explosion in the air as the flying sword was deflected in another direction!
The old man said, “This is the Flying Sword Technique of the Virtue Palace?”
Lingfeng jerks, “Be careful! It's a Big Dipper's Hand!”
Ding Yun and Youxue were shocked. They had heard about this puzzling skill but had never seen it before …
The old man was surprised that Lingfeng could actually recognize his secret martial skill.
Just as the old man had fended off Ding Yun's flying sword, Yi Ping had pointed the Divine Firmament Hand ferociously at him!
Once again, the old man was shocked because Yi Ping attack was not only extremely fast but also filled with incredible pure martial power!
“This is the Divine Horizon Hand?”
After exchanging three dozen extremely quick blows with Yi Ping in less than the blink of an eye, the old man was forced to retreat a few steps when he was confronted by Gongsun Jing, Nangong Le, Qiu Wufeng, Yu’Er, Mei’ Er, Lingfeng, Youxue and Ding Yun at the same time!
The old man began to be astonished by their incredible martial display. Although he was a stronger exponent but this young man and woman did not give him the chance to take a breath. Moreover, they were also able to cover each other in perfect harmony!
Suddenly, he observed something strange about their movements. Judging from their steps and similar circulation movements, it was clear that they were all trained in the same type of attack formation!
At first, he only wanted to humiliate these juniors, but now he was getting more than he expected.
Yi Ping jumped into the air as he showed the Aspire Horizon Hands, shouting furiously, “You have dared to hurt Mei’Er.”
The old man instantly knew that the incoming attack was an almighty attack that could crush a rock and grind it into dust. He immediately raised both of his hands forward as the force of the strong wind from his Big Dipper Hand exploded around him, sending Nangong Le, Gongsun Jing, Qiu Wufeng and Lingfeng rushing backwards!
Yu’Er and Mei’Er had raised their fingers as they displayed Divine Emerald Skills to absorb the resulting power but they were unable to continue their attacks…
Ding Yun raised his left hand forward with his Invincible Divine Power, neutralizing the wind force that was suppressing the old man as he imbued his folding sword with the remaining Unbeatable Divine Power, which he had been able to suppress, join Yi Ping in the attack.
Xiao Youxue had raised his hand in a cutting arc, neutralizing most of the Big Dipper Hand's martial power before him as well, attacking at the same time as Yi Ping and Ding Yun!
There was a thunderous impact as the surrounding air fiercely exploded, sending Yi Ping, Youxue, Ding Yun and the old man flying backwards.
Except for Youxue, Yi Ping, Ding Yun and the old man, everyone coughed up blood due to the backlash from their martial power was enough to cause serious internal injuries!
Like the others, Youxue was also panting and desperately trying to circulate and stabilize his vital energy flow. He was not as severely injured as Yi Ping and Ding Yun as he was protected by the Unbeatable Golden Body and Cold Heavenly Tears. Moreover Yi Ping and Ding Yun had shared the powerful martial power of the Big Dipper Hand, reducing the impact he had received.
He had just looked up just to see a shocking sight!
The old man was surrounded by a small inertial force around him. Although this power of inertia was similar to the inertial power of the Undefeated Divine Power, the Divine Emerald Skill and the Power of Divine Virtue, it was a completely different type of inertial power!
The old man had gathered all the martial power around him, not wasting his vital strength and reabsorbing it.
Xiao Youxue flinched and thought as he looked at the slightly visible inertial barrier of the old man, “Isn't that the power of the highest level vital energy? A force that can regenerate power. Strength that was lost and recovered at the same time! He had thought that it was just a theory and did not think that he would actually witness this today!
The old man coughed and cursed, “Dad. You have forced me to display one secret technique after another. If I don't vent my anger completely today, I won't go.”
Indeed, he had just displayed Divine Rejuvenation Strength, a secret martial skill that could regain his martial power as soon as he finished it.
Everyone stared blankly and did not believe in the fierce martial power that floated swiftly around the old man.
Not only was the old man surrounded by powerful martial power able to constantly replenish his strength, they had just witnessed the overwhelming might of his Big Dipper hand. Even if they could pass through the martial power of his Big Dipper Hand, the resulting martial power that could actually reach the old man would be drastically reduced and not enough to neutralize the inertial force in the surroundings. And it required the combined strength of Yi Ping, Youxue and Ding Yun to injure him…
What's more, they had found a surprising thing about that inertial style; if they failed to injure the old man, then their martial power would be drained to empower the old man's martial power. That was why no one dared to make a false move. Furthermore, the fight that ensured greatly drained their martial power when Yi Ping, Youxue, was, Ding Yun and the others struggled to stabilize their vital energy flow quickly for the next attack or they would risk internal injuries!
The old man sneered at them while stroking his long beard, “Young man. You guys are all together and you can't even handle a parent like me? What joke! Are you ready for another round? Before I send all of you to your Maker, let me tell you that this is the Power of Divine Rejuvenation.”
He pointed at Yu’Er and Mei’Er, asking them. “Your martial skills are from the Eternal Ice Palace?”
Yu’Er and Mei’Er refused to answer.
The old man said coldly, “I will not berate your clan. At your age, your martial skills are already quite impressive. But what a pity.”
Mei’Er could not help but ask, “But dear what?”
Everyone was moved to teething furiously!
Yi Ping clenched his fists in anger and helplessness. This old man was the most formidable opponent he had ever met until now. Suddenly, he remembered what his father had told him, “The hand of the Asper Divinity Horizon requires eighty years of powerful internal strength to use, within three years ... You will definitely die. !”
Yi Ping asked himself, “Do I have eighty years of internal strength now?”
Up until now, Yi Ping had never fought against a martial skill with a martial power that exceeded the Asper Horizon Hand until he witnessed the Big Dipper Hand today. If he had to fight on the same footing as the Big Dipper Hand then he would have to raise his martial power to that level first…
Ding Yun interrupted his thoughts, “Yi Ping. Although the Power of Divine Rejuvenation is very strong, it has a weakness.”
Everyone was shocked when they regained their lost fighting spirit.
The old man was surprised, “Junk. My Divine Rejuvenation Strength does not have any weaknesses so ..”
Ding Yun said calmly, “If I am not mistaken, maintaining the Divine Rejuvenation Power requires considerable mental effort. It should be a pure defensive skill. That is why he did not move forward to attack us or he risked eliminating Divine Rejuvenation. Forcibly. Or why didn't he use it earlier?”
The old man was secretly worried as he thought, “He can know?”
Yi Ping said excitedly, “Yun, you are so brilliant!”
The old man said coldly, “Wait what else? Are you waiting for me to pick you up first?”
Yi Ping suddenly brandished White Phoenix and Divine Echo as he said softly to everyone, “Heavenly Star Formation. This is our only chance now.”
As he brandished the white beaming sword of the Divine Echo, echoing echoes rang out from the sword and around the surroundings!
The old man was surprised, “This sword ..”
Yi Ping did not want to brandish any weapons against unarmed enemies, but this old man was too brash and despicable. Moreover, he had exhausted a lot of his martial power and could only rely on his sword right now.
Yi Ping said loudly, “Yu’Er and Mei’Er, attack with me. Lingfeng, Youxue and Yun attacked together. Brother Gongsun, Brother Nangong and Brother Qiu attacked together.”.
Suddenly, Lingfeng, Youxue, Yun, Gongsun Jing, Qiu Wufeng and Nangong Le attacked the old man one after another!
Just as the old man raised his hand towards his attacker, they had retreated and been replaced by another! He instantly knew that they were trapping him inside a deadly attack formation!
Yi Ping had attacked the old man, showing dozens of ferocious blows with his double sword!
The old man was surprised at the astonishing attacking speed of Yi Ping. He had just raised his Big Dipper Hand to fend off Yi Ping's sword attack, he came back again with a double strike, again and again!
The old man immediately exerted all of his martial power to deliver a crushing blow to Yi Ping with his Big Dipper Hand when he was intercepted by Yu’Er and Mei’Er who had stepped in front of Yi Ping as they displaying the Divine Emerald Force at the same time!
Yi Ping took the opportunity to avenge the old man at the same time!
The most amazing thing suddenly happened!
Yi Ping had broken through the Divine Rejuvenation Force and had slashed the old man twice, on his arms and shoulders, spitting out blood!
What shocked the old man was not Yi Ping astonishing speed, but rather the Divine Echo itself. Divine Echo seemed to have the ability to split easily through the inertial force he had created with his Big Dipper Hand and Divine Rejuvenation Power!
The old man thought anxiously, “This sword..was made with metal from the Heavenly Relic? Impossible..Besides Heavenly Relic, no sword in the entire world can eliminate martial power and sound echoing.”.
By the time he had exchanged over thirty blows with Yi Ping and hoped that his martial power would be completely drained by him; his Big Dipper Hands martial power and Divine Rejuvenate Force began to waver as Divine Echo dissipated his martial power with each strike!
The old man's vision started to blur and he could no longer distinguish the twin brothers from each other as they continued to exchange places with each other!
He had just stopped one glove from flying by Ding Yun with his martial power when he threw another flying scabbard at him with a shocking speed!
He was now looking red as the opponent constantly picked up the flying scabbard and passed it to Ding Yun again!
Nangong Le threw his sword sheath to Ding Yun, “This!”
Gongsun Jing also threw at Ding Yun her scabbard at the same time, “This! He could not move from where he stood. Use my sheath to exhaust his martial power!”
At the same time, Lingfeng had just thrown away her Meteor Rain Needle, stopping displaying the ‘Holyened Meteor Shower’ technique because she did not want this old man to identify his native clan; this old man seemed to be a very experienced exponent who could identify various martial skills.
When he attacked the old man, he displayed various martial skills to confuse him.
When the old man tried to take revenge on him, Lingfeng suddenly displayed the powerful echoing power of the Aspire Horizon Hand, shocking the old man. Although he was forced back with his erratic vital energy, the old man was completely shocked as he thought. “This young girl, she's not as weak as I thought!”
Yi Ping raised his spirit with Absolute Spirit and revitalized his complicated energy with Divine Revelation again and again as he struggled with his wavering power to attack the old man, never stopping his attacks!
Perhaps Yi Ping was trying very hard and was unwilling to let his martial power be drained by the Divine Rejuvenation Force or perhaps under the powerful influence of the Divine Rejuvenation Power as he endured the main attacks of the man that old man, his Divine Revelation was reached. a new staging, Rejuvenation of the Origin Circular!
The Circular Rejuvenation of the Origin was one of the highest levels of divinity in martial achievement. At this achievement, as soon as the vital energy was used to maintain martial power, the unused martial power could also be revitalized back into vital energy. This achievement was also the enemy of the Divine Rejuvenation Force, preventing the practitioner's martial power from being depleted by external forces as well!
The old man was now sweating a lot as he suddenly found his martial power draining rapidly with each new attack.
He was already aware now that he was fighting with three powerful exponents that were very determined; the young man with the twin swords, the girl who could use the Flying Sword Technique of the Virtue Palace and the yellow-clothed girl who could move was so calm that she had to be very focused to be on guard with her next appearance.
This yellow-clothed girl also seemed to have endless martial power as she attacked him again and again with her full martial power. He also realized that this girl was protected by the same inertial force and she also seemed to be trained in the kind of internal force that reduced the effectiveness of her Divine Rejuvenation Power.
Yu’Er said to his sister, “Mei’Er, do you still remember the complicated heart formula of Dual Inertia?”
Mei’Er was in a daze as she said weakly, “Kakak. I'm almost at my limit!”
Yu’Er reminded him, “Vital energy exchanging but not body, exchange of divinity but not physical, essence of heaven and earth as my vitality, divine state of heaven and earth as my divine state, divine state of heaven and earth, the change of heaven and earth as my change. He tried to steal our martial power, why don't we try to steal from him as well? Let's see who's faster and there are two of us here.”
Mei’Er laughed softly, “Kakak. Let's do!”
The old man was frightened when he heard that and he had decided to do the most dishonorable thing he had never done before. He ran like a lightning bolt!
After making sure that the old man had actually left, the nine of them collapsed side by side in the grass, groaning in pain and fatigue.
Lingfeng sighs, “Excellent..we really...have won?”
Nangong Le muttered, “This strange old man is too tough ... no matter how many shrewd blows we have used on him, he is still alive ..”
Mei’Er muttered indistinctly, “Dia..like a cockroach, can not be killed!”.
Youxue asked Yu’Er, “You can really drain his martial power?”
Yu’Er laughs softly, “Soon..almost..not arrived..”.
Youxue smiled thinly, “You .. almost fooled me ..”
Yi Ping asked Yu’Er, “That's not real? Then why did he run?”
Yu’Er smiled gently at Yi Ping as she explained, “The firmness of her heart has already weakened. I can feel it. I just helped give him an extra ‘thrust’ in that direction.”
Yi Ping thanked him as he looked at him lovingly, “Yu’Er, lucky for your quick thinking. I don't know if I can last any longer ..”
He paused for a moment before saying, “Lucky also we have practiced the Heavenly Star Formation. I say, we should practice more ...”
He was surprised that everyone suddenly became motionless and completely speechless.
