Chapter 150: The Divine Power "Breaking the Edge", Ye Gucheng, Lord of White Cloud City
In the blink of an eye, the situation reversed.
Li Ping continued his attack, but his longsword had broken, and there was no possibility of changing his tactics now. Zuo Lengchan's sword had already pierced through Li Ping's clothes...
The sword's edge even touched his skin, but it just couldn't pierce him.
Because Li Ping retreated at lightning speed as if his feet were oiled, his retreat speed was no slower than Zuo Lengchan's attack speed!
How is that possible?
How could he change tactics so quickly?
Even if he's incredibly fast, it's impossible!
Unless he had planned this all along, he was testing my supernatural abilities...
Ok!
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Zuo Lengchan was no longer prepared to pursue him. In terms of martial arts combat, he had already won by shattering Li Ping's longsword and piercing Li Ping's clothes.
But the next moment he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, as a piece of Li Ping's broken blade had pierced his abdomen.
Zuo Lengchan felt the true energy on the broken sword and looked at Li Ping in disbelief!
This isn't some kind of supernatural power; this is real martial arts skill!
What martial art can be so magical?
Li Ping laughed and said, "I admit it, Brother Zuo!"
Zuo Lengchan felt a bitter taste in his mouth: "How did you know?"
Li Ping shook his head and said, "I don't know, but since you insisted on having a sword duel with me, I knew there was probably something strange about your sword."
Zuo Lengchan said, "So that sword strike was just a test? But how could your true energy still control the broken sword after it broke?"
According to his martial arts theory, this is impossible!
At this moment, Master Kurong said, "Could this be the Murong family's Canhe Finger? But the Canhe Finger is executed with finger strength, while Hero Li uses sword energy?"
Although the Murong family's Canhe Finger technique is not well-known, its finger skills alone are comparable to the One-Finger Divine Skill. Master Kurong is a living fossil of the Tianlong era, so he must have heard of the Canhe Finger technique.
Both of these finger techniques excel at this kind of delayed burst of true energy, with a long-lasting aftereffect.
When Guo Jing first met Master Yideng, he thought he had neutralized Yideng's finger force and stood up. However, the finger force suddenly erupted again, wave after wave, causing him to retreat several steps!
Li Ping's move was similar in principle, but in Master Kurong's eyes, it was obvious at a glance whether it was the One-Finger Divine Skill.
Since it's not the One-Finger Divine Skill, it's very likely the Three-Finger Divine Skill!
Li Ping nodded: "Master Kurong has keen insight. I know there's something strange about your sword, Brother Zuo, so I naturally had to be prepared. But I really didn't expect it to be this sharp..."
"So this is Brother Zuo's supernatural power?"
Zuo Lengchan laughed bitterly, "Yes, this is my divine power, Breaking Edge, which is indestructible and can shatter anything."
"I thought that with this I could conquer the world, but I never expected that I couldn't even break through Brother Li's defenses."
He was also somewhat pleased: "Indeed, although supernatural powers are strong, martial arts are the right path."
He then stepped off the stage and suddenly his longsword pierced a stone lion on the side of the stage. The stone lion was made of hard material, but he pierced it as easily as piercing tofu, and then it silently shattered into several pieces!
The audience below the stage was extremely shocked.
Seeing Zuo Lengchan's humiliating defeat, they assumed his supernatural abilities were nothing special, but they never expected him to be so powerful!
Whether this thing comes into contact with a weapon or your body, it's a disaster!
If you can't even touch someone else's sword during a duel, how can you possibly win?
Although Zuo Lengchan lost, his performance in just this one strike was enough to earn him fame.
The people from the Five Mountains Sword Sects looked at Zuo Lengchan with mixed feelings. They had naturally resisted the merger of the Five Mountains Sword Sects in the past, but in the current martial arts world, if the Five Mountains Sword Sects were still just a loose alliance, they would be really weak.
If the Five Sacred Mountains were to unite, their influence would naturally increase dramatically.
But Zuo Lengchan not only had unparalleled martial arts skills among the Five Mountains Sword Sects, he had also awakened supernatural powers. Wouldn't the merger of the Five Mountains Sword Sects have turned it into his personal fiefdom?
It's really hard to decide what to do.
Upon hearing Zuo Lengchan's words, Li Ping chuckled inwardly.
I bother!
I don't believe you, Zuo Lengchan, a damn fool!
Just like himself, whose ability is clearly to manipulate time, he tells others that his supernatural power is immortality, and he even puts on the shell of Taixu Huayan.
Although Lao Zuo is not as cunning as Lao Yue, he is still quite cunning. He openly says that his supernatural power is "Breaking Edge", which is indestructible and can break anything. He even demonstrates it generously. I'm really impressed!
Previously, Li Ping actually had another option: he could have used the Nine Yin Manual to lengthen his bones and muscles and seize Zuo Lengchan's pulse point.
But Li Ping held back and did not make contact with Zuo Lengchan's palm. Now it seems that his caution was correct.
Judging from Lao Zuo's secretive behavior, his supernatural abilities might not have much to do with swords, but rather with his hands!
Is it something like "A knight never dies unarmed," where anything you hold can become a powerful weapon?
At this moment, cheers erupted from the audience.
Although Zhang Sanfeng had previously said that the locals of the Laughing World could also awaken supernatural powers through cultivation, people were still somewhat skeptical. But now that Zuo Lengchan, a native of this world, had awakened supernatural powers, they naturally believed it.
Little did they know that Zuo Lengchan had once hunted down extraordinary people and seized the blessing.
Moreover, seeing that Zuo Lengchan possessed supernatural powers but was still unable to do anything to Li Ping, it was simply that his martial arts skills were far inferior to Li Ping's.
Many people previously thought that martial arts were no longer important because of the wonders of supernatural powers, but now they realize that martial arts are the true path to power, which naturally excites them greatly.
……
Yin Ji looked at the arena: "I didn't expect him to awaken a supernatural power? It seems that whether or not one awakens a supernatural power has no decisive relationship with the level of martial arts."
"With this supernatural ability alone, Zuo Lengchan is enough to secure a place in the martial arts world."
"Li Ping is truly meticulous. If it were me, I would have already struck his sword with my palm, and I would have suffered a great loss."
"In today's martial arts world, one must be extremely cautious in their actions!"
……
Wu Ming felt extremely uncomfortable.
What?
Even with martial arts skills of this level, one can awaken supernatural powers, while I just can't.
Does the immortal have a problem with me?
Is it really because I'm an assassin that the immortals dislike me?
The supernatural power is truly too bizarre!
If I underestimate Zuo Lengchan's martial arts skills and he were to take a blow from his sword, my body might shatter like that stone lion.
From this perspective, Li Ping is indeed not to be underestimated.
His combat instincts are too sharp.
……
Lu Xiaofeng praised, "I won't go into how high Brother Li's other martial arts skills are, but this keenness of his is truly astonishing."
"No wonder they were able to catch Yuan Suiyun in such a chaotic environment."
"And what about Zuo Lengchan's supernatural abilities? If I knew nothing about them, and I reached out to grab his longsword..."
Upon seeing the shattered stone lion, Lu Xiaofeng felt a chill run down his spine.
……
Yan Nantian stared silently at the broken stones.
If he were to strike the stone lion with a single palm, it would shatter even more, but supernatural powers are different; you won't even feel the surge of true energy before you're hit.
Li Ping was much more vigilant than I was. If I had been as cautious as him back then, Xiao Yu'er's fate would have been completely different.
He looked at Li Ping, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit.
He had no interest in competing for treasures, nor did he know how much strength Li Ping had demonstrated, but he was eager to fight Li Ping.
……
Watching Zuo Lengchan leave the stage dejectedly, Li Ping glanced over and was about to call out names when a voice rang out: "I have long heard of Master Li's unparalleled swordsmanship; indeed, his reputation is well-deserved."
"Although I don't care about any treasures, I still want to test my skills."
A surge of sword intent rose into the sky along with the sound.
Like white clouds gathering and dispersing in the sky, pure white and immaculate, ethereal and uncertain, even possessing an otherworldly aura!
Ximen Chuixue turned his head and looked at the white-clad swordsman striding towards him from afar.
Although it was the first time they had met, he immediately recognized the person.
Lord of Baiyun City—Ye Gucheng!
