Chapter 38: Kill Dongfang Bubai and Subdue the Sun Moon Cult
Chapter 38: Kill Dongfang Bubai and Subdue the Sun Moon Cult
Clang clang...
The sound of metal clashing suddenly arose. Li Ping changed tactics, abandoning his previous style of avoiding direct sword-to-sword combat and competing in terms of changing moves. Instead, he engaged in direct combat with Dongfang Bubai with every sword strike.
Dongfang Bubai was poisoned and injured, and he wanted to use this method to prevent him from suppressing the poison and his injuries.
Dongfang Bubai gritted his teeth in hatred.
This kid's cultivation is shallow; his internal strength is at most slightly stronger than Yingying's, yet he actually opened up his Ren and Du meridians and his Qi circulated throughout his body?!
Moreover, his true energy was sharp, agile as a god, and extremely resilient. Under these circumstances, I was truly suppressed by him.
"Boy, with your shallow internal energy, how long can you hold out with this reckless attack?"
In the blink of an eye, thirty-seven sword strikes had passed. Dongfang Bubai sensed that Li Ping's offensive had weakened and his true energy was exhausted. He immediately prepared to counterattack, giving himself a chance to catch his breath and then swallow the antidote.
Unexpectedly, Li Ping's true energy suddenly returned to its peak, as if the previous consumption had never happened.
Dongfang Bubai was utterly horrified; he couldn't comprehend it.
Is this also a blessing from the immortals?
How incredibly kind the immortals are to you!
We can't just sit here and wait to die. If we continue like this, we will not only lose, but we might even die.
This was the first time since Dongfang Bubai had mastered his martial arts that he had felt threatened by death.
His eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Immortal? If I cut off your head, will you still live?"
I do not believe!
He suddenly revealed an opening, and Li Ping seized the opportunity to thrust his longsword into his abdomen, but in an instant Li Ping sensed something was wrong...
Dongfang Bubai deliberately let him stab him, using his internal energy to clamp his longsword between his muscles.
That one moment of space is enough!
With a flash of sword light, Dongfang Bubai had already severed Li Ping's neck.
Even his neck bone was severed by Dongfang Bubai, with only a bit of skin and flesh connecting them. This was only because Li Ping dodged quickly; any slower and his head would have flown off.
Seeing blood spurting from Li Ping's neck, Dongfang Bubai breathed a sigh of relief. Now you can't possibly...
The next moment, his eyes widened, his scalp tingled, and his entire worldview shattered.
Li Ping seemed unaffected, pressing his hand firmly on the hilt of the sword, twisting and slashing...
puff……
Dongfang Bubai's waist was ripped open, and blood gushed out, red and green blood all over the ground. He pressed on the wound, but the wound was too big and the bleeding could not be stopped!
He knelt on the ground, his eyes bloodshot and glaring at Li Ping: "An immortal body!? It really is immortal!? I should have... torn you to pieces..."
"I don't believe...you, you can still...be alive!"
Then, with his last ounce of strength, he roared, "Li Ping is an extraordinary being sent from heaven, blessed by immortals and granted immortality. Whoever kills him will gain immortality..."
With a flash of sword light, Li Ping beheaded Dongfang Bubai.
The world fell silent!
The entire room fell silent. What had just happened had shattered everyone's worldview, leaving them terrified and their hearts pounding!
A mysterious figure descended from the heavens?
A blessing from the immortals?
This must be true, otherwise how could someone come back to life!
Immortals? There really are immortals in this world!
Clang...
Ren Yingying's short sword and Lan Fenghuang's long whip fell to the ground, their hearts shattered with fear. Ping Yizhi and Wei Yixiao also stood there dumbfounded.
They stared blankly at Li Ping, their minds completely blank.
After a while, Ping Yizhi let out a strange cry, turned around and ran away. In the blink of an eye, Li Ping was already blocking his way.
Ping Yizhi immediately cried out, "Don't kill me! Hero Li, don't kill me! I won't say anything, I won't say anything..."
Most people in the martial arts world take life and death lightly; if someone disagrees, they'll fight. Even if they die, they rarely beg for mercy.
Ping Yizhi was actually a very principled person and not afraid of death.
But seeing Li Ping come back from the dead and Dongfang Bubai die tragically on the spot, and even utter such shocking news before his death, he was truly terrified.
Humans are afraid of the unknown. He was afraid, and he didn't even know what he was afraid of.
That's why they begged for mercy!
Li Ping asked, "Who are you?"
Ping Yizhi said, "You villain, you villain, the murderous doctor Ping Yizhi..."
Is that the infamous doctor who saved one person but killed another?
Although he's a birdman, his medical skills seem quite remarkable...
Ping Yizhi sensed that Li Ping had no murderous intent, and suddenly knelt down before Li Ping: "Ping Yizhi is willing to follow Hero Li and serve Hero Li as my master..."
He was initially filled with fear, but now his words are tinged with excitement.
Is it better to follow someone who has received blessings from a celestial being than to be a dog of the Sun Moon Cult?
This is an immortal!
The other believers also came to their senses and began to shout.
"Master Li's skills are unparalleled, a celestial being descended to earth. I, a lowly person, am blind and dare to insult Master Li. I am willing to surrender."
"I also wish to descend; may the immortal accept my bow!"
"I am also willing to follow Master Li..."
Under normal circumstances, a considerable number of the followers of the Sun Moon Cult are fearless and undaunted. However, if they are defeated, very few of them would surrender on the spot.
However, Li Ping's miraculous resurrection was so extraordinary that many people regarded him as an immortal or a god.
In the Sun Moon Cult, the god they follow is invisible and intangible.
To follow Li Ping, in a sense, is to follow an immortal!
Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang immediately said, "Master Li, we are also willing to surrender and will never reveal your secrets."
Wei Yixiao seemed to understand something as he listened to Dongfang Bubai's words.
Those who possess extraordinary abilities are blessed by immortals; killing them allows one to steal those blessings…
Was Cheng Kun hunting down these strange people for this reason?
His face paled, and he looked at Li Ping, saying, "You too... Well, don't worry, we're in the same boat, I won't say anything."
Looking at these followers of the Sun Moon Cult, Li Ping's thoughts raced.
He really didn't intend to kill them all to silence them.
Because the fact that killing "Outcasts" can steal blessings can only be kept secret for a short time, it certainly won't be hidden for long.
Then, he looked at Ren Yingying and asked, "Who are you?"
Ren Yingying said, "I am Ren Yingying, the Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Sect."
Li Ping said, "From now on, you are the new leader of the Sun Moon Cult."
Ren Yingying was taken aback. So, she was to become a puppet?
She showed no dissatisfaction, saying, "As per Master Li's decree, from this day forward, the entire Sun Moon Sect will revere Master Li!"
Faced with this person whose martial arts were like those of a god or a demon, who could kill Dongfang Bubai, and who even had the blessing of immortals and possessed an immortal body, she truly had no intention of resisting.
Li Ping didn't actually have much of a possessive desire for the Sun Moon Cult.
In his view, the world doesn't know how much longer it can exist, and the only way to survive is to become stronger. At this time, running a sect would be a complete waste of time.
If one could cultivate to the point of shattering the void, even a martial artist might be able to survive when the river of time collapses.
Li Ping didn't care about other things in the Sun Moon Sect, but he was very interested in the many secret martial arts techniques among them, so he accepted them for the time being.
Li Ping then looked at Lan Fenghuang: "Are you the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, Lan?"
"I've heard that your sect has a kind of wine that, when drunk, greatly increases one's power..."
Lan Fenghuang laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Master Li would also know about the Five Treasures Wine of my sect. However, this wine is only effective the first time you drink it, and you won't need it after that."
Li Ping said, "It's alright."
Lan Fenghuang took out some wine, and Li Ping drank it directly to refine it.
Seeing that Li Ping actually "trusted" her so much, Lan Fenghuang smiled sweetly...
As Ren Yingying began handling the follow-up matters, she already had high prestige within the sect, and with Li Ping backing her up, everything went smoothly.
Kill the die-hards, keep those who are willing to surrender... it's that simple!
Soon, the only obstacle was Yang Lianting and his confidants, who were still at Blackwood Cliff. But without Dongfang Bubai, Yang Lianting could easily defeat them!
After the matter was mostly settled, Li Ping rushed back to Hengyang City, accompanied by Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang.
On the way, Li suddenly saw a figure.
It was a young boy carrying a woman on his back, who looked like Yue Lingshan.
He seemed to have seen that young man before, standing beside Yue Buqun, but he didn't know his identity.
What's going on?
Li Ping moved swiftly, and the three of them disappeared into the woods...
