Chapter 50: Little Invitation to the Moon, Defeated in One Move
This is naturally not some kind of "Tai Xu Hua Yan" divine skill, but rather Li Ping's ability "Time Reversal".
His "time travel" is limited to his body.
Previously, Li Ping was very curious whether he could still use this ability on the things inside his body if they were outside.
For example, true qi?
Li Ping had tried it before. He released his true energy, and although it dissipated almost completely once it left his body, he used Time Reversal on that true energy, and the true energy returned to his body.
How can I describe that feeling?
It's like you just finished urinating, and then the urine flows back into your body—it's incredibly uncomfortable!
If true qi can leave the body, what about true qi that others can invade one's body?
Li Ping tried using a needle to prick his arm and applied it to the problem; it actually restored the problem's state and ejected it.
Therefore, he was certain that the scope of "time reversal" was his body, and that he could use it on everything inside his body, even if his true energy left his body, or if it was true energy from someone else who had invaded his body.
Unfortunately, it's unusable against strong opponents.
Li Ping had tried this before when he was practicing the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, applying his abilities to two places at the same time.
One method was to accelerate his thinking speed, and the other was to slow down the flow of his qi and blood, making it easier to control his qi and blood. It was only through this method that he mastered the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. Later, when he became proficient, he stopped using it in this way.
However, this requires complete concentration, and failure can occur with the slightest carelessness, so it cannot be used in intense battles.
He can only use time rewind on himself when he is seriously injured by others, when his true energy is exhausted, or when he dies.
However, after he mastered the "Innate Skill," the situation changed, and he gained even greater control over his abilities.
With that palm strike, he used "Time Rewind" on the force of Li Chenzhou's fist that had penetrated his body.
The force of the punch was reversed in an instant, and then everything was left to inertia. It was as if Li Chenzhou punched himself hard, and then Li Ping added a palm strike.
The last sentence is correct; Li Ping did want to kill Li Chenzhou, but Li Chenzhou reacted quickly and retreated just in time, so he survived, which is quite impressive.
Of course, in order not to be too shocking, Li Ping made up a name for the divine skill as "Tai Xu Hua Yan".
Huang Rong's lips twitched. "Nonsense!"
Putting everything else aside, she knew Li Ping's comprehension all too well. If Li Ping could create such a miraculous skill out of thin air, she would perform eating noodles upside down tomorrow.
This guy is playing tricks again.
But how exactly did he do it?
My head hurts so much, I can't think of anything no matter how hard I try.
Li Chenzhou might not believe that Li Ping created "Tai Xu Hua Yan" in just ten days, but the "miraculous" nature of this divine skill truly astonished him!
He had seen countless martial arts techniques in the martial arts world that used an opponent's strength against them, but this was the first time he had ever seen one so profound that he couldn't discern a single clue about it.
If you can't even understand other people's techniques, then you deserve to lose!
He murmured, "The Great Void transforms, the Great Void transforms..."
"I have never seen such a profound technique in my life. This time, my defeat was not unjust, not unjust at all."
After saying that, he opened his mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood.
Seeing Li Chenzhou like this, Zhao Shirong was heartbroken.
She knew how proud her husband was. Even when facing Yan Kuangtu back then, Li Chenzhou had never said such a thing.
Just how powerful is this move, "Transformation of the Void," that it has impressed my husband to such an extent?
Yue Lingshan's ears perked up because she heard the name Yaoyue. Legend has it that Yaoyue was the confidante of the great hero Li.
Why did you resort to violence?
It sounds like she beat up even Li Daxia; she's practically a tigress, probably ugly and fierce...
"Interesting, interesting. You mean you were hit by my 'Shifting Flowers and Jade' technique, and then created a martial art similar to it?"
With a flash, Yaoyue arrived in the arena, carrying Xiaoyuer.
Everyone's pupils dilated in shock once again.
How can someone be carried along for ten steps at a time?
What kind of light-footed skill is this?
Is this even human?
Good heavens, where did these experts come from?
Zhao Shirong trembled. She had never imagined that there could be such a proud, aloof, and beautiful woman in this world.
Even she, a stunning beauty, was moved by Yaoyue's beauty.
Li Ping laughed and said, "Greetings, Palace Master. If it weren't for your attack, 'Shifting Flowers and Jade,' I wouldn't have been able to create this move, 'Transformation of the Void.'"
He mentioned Yaoyue's name to provoke her into taking action.
Who could stand having this crazy woman following them around like that!
Let's take this opportunity to settle things once and for all!
Yue Buqun and the others had strange expressions, because they had heard rumors about Li Ping. Legend has it that Li Ping had a confidante named Yaoyue, and he had even boasted about kissing Yaoyue...
Even if people in the martial arts world are not bound by formalities, this is still a bit too bold.
Is Yaoyue this woman?
Judging from this, the relationship between the two seems quite strange.
Yue Lingshan's expression changed drastically. Yaoyue, is she really that... that beautiful?
Yue Lingshan completely lost confidence in herself.
Whether it's Sister Rong, Sister Su, or Yaoyue, they're all so beautiful. Am I...am I not good enough for Master Li?
Inviting the Moon remained noncommittal: "Then let me test how much of your 'Transformation of the Void' technique resembles 'Transplanting Flowers and Jade.' Are you going to defeat me in one move?"
Li Ping stood with his hands behind his back, calmly saying, "Why not?"
Everyone was shocked.
Yaoyue's martial arts are so astonishing, yet you still want to defeat her in one move?
Given Li Chenzhou's precedent, they couldn't help but believe it.
But if Li Ping can really do it, just how strong is he?
Inviting the Moon, enraged, laughed coldly: "You're the first person in this world to dare speak to me like that!"
Li Ping said calmly, "I did offend the Palace Master with my words before, which damaged the Palace Master's reputation, but I was forced to do so by the circumstances."
"I've admitted my mistake, and the princess slapped me twice. We should call it even now."
"But the Palace Master has been following me around these past few days, which is really bothering me..."
Su Ying and her companion's expressions changed drastically. "This crazy woman has been following us all along?"
Then weren't all our words being overheard?
How embarrassing...
Then, he was filled with rage!
The expressions on everyone's faces became even stranger. The relationship between these two seemed to be quite complicated indeed!
Could it be that Yaoyue's advances were unsuccessful, so...
hiss……
Such a beautiful woman, doesn't Master Li fancy her?
Yaoyue felt a rare moment of embarrassment. Although she hadn't come to Hengshan with Li Ping, she had indeed been eavesdropping on Li Ping and his companions' private conversations these past few days.
She said coldly, "Fine! If your Tai Xu Hua Ye is really that amazing, you really can defeat me in one move."
"From now on, our grudges will be settled."
After speaking, he swayed and struck out with his palm. There was no raging energy, no thunderous roar, the palm force was concentrated but not released, but the heavy palm force seemed to press on everyone's heart. Yue Lingshan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
That seemingly ordinary palm strike was even more elusive and impossible to catch.
Li Ping's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Yaoyue's strength is truly heaven-defying. Her speed is even faster than my Evil-Repelling Sword Technique combined with full-force time acceleration, and her power is even more incredible.
Strength, speed, and skill—Yaoyue has no weaknesses whatsoever, at least in Li Ping's eyes.
If you don't agree to the bet on this move with her, it will be really difficult to fight her!
But now, you crazy woman, you've been fooled!
Li Ping caught Yaoyue's attack; it was a strange feeling, as if he had another eye, perceiving the world.
Or perhaps that's the wonderful application of spiritual power.
Then Li Ping simply struck out with his palm, exchanging blows with Yaoyue.
The instant Yaoyue's palm strike entered his body, Li Ping used "Time Reversal" on her palm strike, reversing it for only a moment.
Then, the force of Yaoyue's palm strike surged outwards and penetrated into Yaoyue's body.
Yaoyue was horrified; her true energy had actually been reflected back?
What's even more outrageous is that I couldn't understand Li Ping's techniques at all!
How is that possible?
After a loud bang, the energy surged, kicking up stones from the ground.
Yue Buqun and his wife drew their longswords, the sword light forming a curtain of light that blocked the flying stones. Otherwise, if they had hit Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong, they would have been in serious trouble.
Yaoyue took three steps back, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and stared intently at Li Ping.
We lost!
I actually lost!
I actually lost!?
So, I can lose too?
Countless images from my life flashed through my mind.
She had only ever lost once in her life, to her maid, Hua Yuenü.
Hua Yuenü was so ordinary, yet Jiang Feng chose her instead of himself!
Did she really love Jiang Feng that much, to the point of being so crazy?
Love exists, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that crazy!
This also includes her inability to accept her own failure, her inability to accept that she was defeated by such an ordinary woman.
But now, I've lost again!
A defeat that was honorable and left no room for argument!
The feeling was so unbearable, almost driving her crazy, yet it was also so...fresh, so unique!
This made her heart pound, and a wildfire ignited within her, burning her insides. Her gaze towards Li Ping became somewhat strange.
Finally, she said, "Very good, so this is the wonder of upper dantian cultivation?"
"Yaoyue has learned a lot."
"From now on, our grudges are settled."
Then it clamped down on the little fish and plunged straight into the azure sky.
Out of resentment, he let out a long howl that shook the sky, far more terrifying than Li Ping's previous roar.
Li Ping breathed a long sigh of relief, finally managing to fool them.
Finally, I've shaken off this stalker!
Otherwise, it would be unbearable for someone like that to keep following you around!
The scene remained deathly silent...
