Chapter 1863: Seeking Change in Desperate Situation

The dark night sky above suddenly changed color, with thunder and lightning crisscrossing, as if silver dragons were gathering from all directions directly overhead, forming a huge silver ball of light that completely covered the brilliance of the bright moon.

Everyone felt that they were so blinded that they couldn't open their eyes, as if their bodies had been shrouded in a vast silver haze. People's natural fear of the power of heaven and earth made them terrified and they wanted to escape as far away as possible, but this fear prevented them from moving an inch. There was no escape for them as they were destroyed by heaven.

Could this be Lingshan Wen Ting's unique skill - the Heavenly Thunder God-killing Mantra, the supernatural power on earth to kill immortals and gods.

A beam of light suddenly burst out from the silver ball of light, penetrated the ground and covered Li Taizhong, like the water of the Milky Way pouring down from the sky to submerge Li Taizhong.

Who can survive this violent thunder and lightning! This is a human power that can kill immortals and gods! However, with the lessons learned from the past, everyone is waiting for the result nervously.

As expected, Li Taizhong's laughter spread in the light column: "Oh, it turns out to be just the Little Heavenly Thunder God-Exterminating Mantra, that really disappoints me!"

When everyone heard Li Taizhong's laughter, their hearts sank again. He was still talking and laughing even though he was not dead. There was a sense of resignation that there was no way to overcome it.

Xie Fu's mind was already overwhelmed as he used the Little Heavenly Thunder God-killing Mantra. Blood was slowly flowing out of his seven orifices. He was hit physically and mentally and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

The beam of light suddenly disappeared, and the sky returned to its dark and quiet state. Only the ground where Li Taizhong was standing was a scorched red color, while Li Taizhong himself was still flawless and unharmed.

Li Taizhong said slowly as if preaching: "I just said that I have obtained the mysterious veins and am the messenger of heaven and earth. It is ridiculous that you use the power of heaven and earth to deal with me. Not to mention you, even if the Wensheng Wen Ting of Lingshan came in person and used the real Heavenly Thunder Destroying God Mantra, this Heavenly Thunder is like a toy in my hands."

As he spread his hands, lightning suddenly struck the palms of his hands, and the silver light ball crackled, just like the silver light ball that appeared in the air just now.

He looked gently at Xie Fu: "Boy, your divine body is injured, your heart meridian is damaged, can you be satisfied now?"

Everyone was devastated and not even a trace of hope was left.

Xie Fu closed his eyes and said nothing, now he only hoped that red leaves and black eyes would fall from the sky.

No way! The more critical the situation is, the more you cannot act on impulse. You need to be calm, just like when playing chess, it seems that you have already lost, but there is a chance of turning around. It is just like the saying - Dayan fifty, Tianyan forty-nine, leaving a glimmer of hope.

Xie Fu suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "You have obtained the Mysterious Veins, and you can control the power of heaven and earth for your own use. Wouldn't you be invincible? What else are you pursuing?"

Li Taizhong was very happy that Xie Fu was willing to talk to him, and he said sincerely: "Although I can control the power of heaven and earth, I am just a magic weapon in the hands of an immortal. After all, human life is limited, and magic skills can only increase life. Just to increase my life span, I have spent so many years in it. As the saying goes, there is always a gain and a loss. Who knows how long I have been in the darkness of Dugu? In fact, the sunlight I have seen is less than that of an ordinary person in his entire life."

Li Taizhong's tone was full of emotion, more or less revealing his feelings, and Xie Fu asked, "Then what are you pursuing?"

Li Taizhong smiled and said, "What I pursue is naturally eternal life, to be on the same level and live as immortals and gods, or even to be a higher being, to be above immortals and gods, and to be one with heaven and earth."

Xie Fu sneered: "You are just dreaming."

Li Taizhong smiled and said, "Since you can obtain the divine vein and water vein, and you are also the co-leader of my Confucian school, you must know some secrets. Having a divine vein can make you immortal and immortal, and you can live for thousands of years. This is exactly what I am pursuing."

Xie Fu asked: "Then what?"

Li Taizhong looked far into the dark night sky. "I don't know. My goal is above, and my ambition is also above. By then, all living beings will be just like grass and trees in my eyes. Maybe you will think that what I did is inhumane and I slaughtered them at will, but at that height, it is just like picking flowers and breaking trees. Death and rebirth, rebirth and death, the natural cycle of heaven and earth."

Xie Fu sneered: "Since you can control the power of heaven and earth, why don't you ascend to heaven now and kill everyone, instead of staying in the human world to bully the weak?"

"You look upon me as a mountain, but I am only a peak of a fairy or god in the human world. Your name is Xie Fu, right? Xie Fu, please help me ascend to heaven. I will go ahead to explore and pave the way for you. This world will be ruled by you, and when the time comes, you can come up and we can join forces."

These words may sound far-fetched and unrealistic, but Li Taizhong's vision is not ordinary. He looks higher and sees farther than others.

This was not important to Xie Fu at all. What was important was to find the flaw in Li Taizhong and said, "If you want me to help you, you have to help me too."

Li Taizhong's expression was like a kid seeing candy: "Just tell me how you want me to help you." If you knew that it took Li Taizhong nearly two hundred years to obtain the Xuanmai by chance, you would understand.

Xie Fu directly expressed his greed: "I want to obtain the Xuanmai, so that I can manipulate the power of heaven and earth like you."

Li Taizhong laughed loudly: "Heavenly Veins are something you can only encounter by chance, otherwise I wouldn't have lived for nearly two hundred years before I got the Mysterious Veins. It was also by chance that I discovered that Rong Zheng's son Jixian actually had the Mysterious Veins. I was so happy at that time."

Rong Zheng was Li Huirong's father, and the stepmother was Li Huirong's mother who committed suicide out of humiliation.

To Li Huirong, they were her parents and her closest relatives. Although the hatred and anger in her heart made her feel like she was living a life worse than death, her expression was as calm as a statue.

But to Li Taizhong, Rong Zheng was just a descendant of the Li family, and her second wife was just a woman, and even her name was not important.

Xie Fu looked at Li Huirong and said calmly, "I heard that Li Rongzheng's wife is dead, so how can I get the life pulse from her?"

Li Taizhong was surprised and asked, "Didn't Ming Shixin explain it to you clearly? Once the Heavenly Vein is taken away, the Heavenly Vein person will just become an ordinary woman. Even if she is alive now, you will get nothing by possessing her."

Xie Fu said: "So, I will never get the Xuanmai?"

Li Taizhong said anxiously, "Wait! The Heavenly Vein is a land of outstanding people and talents. The Heavenly Vein chooses female spirits to inhabit, and it will repeat over and over again. It will be reborn and come back again if lost."

Xie Fu said: "Okay, according to what you just said, the divine vein and water vein have been obtained by me, don't you have to wait as well?"

"Yes, I will wait too, but I have to wait with a purpose."

"How to be more targeted?"

Li Taizhong said bluntly: "The Heavenly Vein chooses female spirits to inhabit. The daughter born from your union with Huirong is very likely to be a Heavenly Vein."

Li Taizhong did not say the rest of the words, but everyone had already guessed his purpose.

Xie Fu simply treated it as a joke since he could make such a ridiculous request. He laughed and said, "Then you will have to call me your father-in-law for life."

"If I can obtain the divine vein, what if I call you father-in-law?"

Li Taizhong immediately said: "You are such a smart person, you must have thought of it. Since you want to get the Xuanmai so much, if the girl born to Huirong and I is also a Tianmai, I can give it to you."

Even a ghost couldn't say such a thing, treating a woman as a tool and then using her for other purposes, but Li Taizhong said it. And he took it for granted. Perhaps in the process of pursuing something, Li Taizhong had long lost his moral ethics, courtesy, righteousness, and shame.

But Xie Fu was a human being, and he was about to vomit after hearing these words. In order to continue the conversation with Li Taizhong, he had to hold it in and smiled at Li Huirong, "Huirong, do you agree?"

Li Huirong and Xie Fu had already reached a tacit understanding, and said with a smile: "I will listen to you, if you can do it."

Xie Fu deliberately hesitated: "This..."

Li Taizhong coaxed him softly, "Master Xie, I know what you are worried about. The essence of moral law is a tool to maintain rule. Since it is a tool, then it depends on who is using the tool. When you, as a ruler, are bound by your own tool dogma, you are tying yourself up in knots."

He smiled and said, "It's like the emperor can sentence a family to death on trumped-up charges, and when accepting the decree, one has to say thank you to His Majesty for the death penalty."

"You see me as lawless and murderous, but I see you as ignorant and stupid, like a child."

Xie Fu smiled without saying anything, he already knew these truths, but one should act according to one's conduct. You like killing people, but I like saving people. You like seeing others suffer, but I like seeing others' joyful smiles turn into a ray of nectar to nourish my heart.

Let’s not talk about good or evil, loyalty or treachery, just think of it as different hobbies and different paths and we cannot work together.

Li Taizhong patiently persuaded him: "You have obtained the divine vein and tasted the taste of immortality. Sometimes you will feel empty and lonely because you don't know what to pursue. Now I have opened a door and a road for you. As long as you walk in, you will find endless joy."

These words were too misleading. Bai Yue and Xue Yu were really afraid that Xie Fu would be persuaded. Just like Lu Mei was invincible throughout her life and only wanted to be defeated once, seeking defeat became Lu Mei's lifelong pursuit.

Xie Fu called him by his name: "Li Taizhong, let me ask you, you have the mysterious veins in your body and can control the power of heaven and earth. Does that mean you are invincible and unbeatable?"

Li Taizhong looked at the burning fighting spirit and strong desire to win in Xie Fu's eyes, and smiled happily: "So this is what you pursue, it's really too shallow."

Bai Yue and Xue Yu were surprised to see this. Even at this point, Master Xie still wanted to continue fighting. They were filled with awe.

But he had no idea that Xie Fu showed such an attitude on purpose. After talking with Li Taizhong just now, he roughly figured out what kind of person Li Taizhong was. In short, he would do anything to achieve his goals.

You can't use common sense to speculate about such a person. This can be considered a psychological game, a psychological battle.

As expected, Li Taizhong smiled and said, "Although it seems shallow to me, this is what you pursue, and I won't force you to do anything."

Xie Fu's body was injured, his heart was damaged, but his eyes were still burning with fighting spirit. He asked in a deep voice, "Are you really invincible?"

Li Taizhong replied, "Of course not! I just said that you regard me as a mountain, but I am just a peak of immortals and gods in the human world. You cannot defeat me only because you are too weak. When you are strong enough, you will be able to defeat me."

Li Taizhong's goal was to keep Xie Fu alive, rather than to die in battle tonight. As long as he still had something to pursue, this would be easy. He looked at Xie Fu and asked, "Do you want to become strong, strong enough to defeat me?"

"I want to defeat you right now!" Xie Fu said as his inner energy surged out, proving that he still had the strength to fight.

Li Taizhong said, "Wait! Don't waste your energy yet. I can help you and let you see hope."

These words were difficult for Bai Yue and Xue Yu to understand. Only Xie Fu knew that Li Taizhong was extending an olive branch to him and couldn't wait for him to catch it.

"Stones sink in water, but wood floats because wood is not heavy enough."

This sentence was a hint to Xie Fu. Since he couldn't change the nature of water, he should change himself. In short, a good blacksmith must first sharpen his own tools.

Xie Fu said loudly: "I understand, old thief, prepare to die."

The God of War's Thunder Killing punch was directed at Li Taizhong. This punch had no lightning force or imposing power. It was just like an ordinary and empty punch.

Li Taizhong controlled the electric field to cover Xie Fu, and lightning and fire began to sizzle all over Xie Fu's body. As his fist slowly approached Li Taizhong, his skin became crystal clear again, as if it had been forged in lightning and fire and became even more brilliant.

Li Taizhong grasped Xie Fu's fist again, and the power of Xie Fu's gathered fireflies into thunder hidden in his meridians burst out from his fist. The powerful force directly penetrated the palm of Li Taizhong and actually pushed Li Taizhong back dozens of steps.

Obviously, the power of Xie Fu's punch was stronger than Li Taizhong's palm power. Bai Yue and others couldn't help but exclaimed and saw a glimmer of hope.

Li Taizhong laughed and praised: "You are a teachable young man. Do you see hope of defeating me?"

"Then you will die!"

It was still another thunderous attack from the God of War. Li Taizhong was not the power of heaven and earth, he was just the messenger of the power of heaven and earth. What Xie Fu had to do was not to compete with the power of heaven and earth controlled by Li Taizhong, but to compete with Li Taizhong's own body. In other words, it was like dealing with a person of the Taoist school. It was not to resist the Taoist mantras wielded by the person of the Taoist school, but to lock the target on the person of the Taoist school.

This is why he did not take advantage of the situation when he threw his punch. No matter how powerful his force was, it would eventually be strangled by the electric field he controlled. Instead, he hid his power in his veins and only released it when it came into contact with Li Taizhong's body.

Although Thunder God Wu Sha is more powerful than Wu Shen Lei Sha, Thunder God Wu Sha is completely restrained by Li Taizhong who possesses Xuanmai, which is why he uses Wu Shen Lei Sha.

Martial arts and Taoism have never been fixed. Perhaps Xie Fu can call this special way of punching the Martial God's Martial Killing, which relies purely on one's own strength.

The two men started fighting with crackling sounds. Xie Fu was burned by lightning and fire while he beat Li Taizhong back repeatedly.

Although Li Taizhong retreated step by step, he was still at ease and continued to teach him: "You still don't fully understand. You are in the heavy rain, and you don't hold an umbrella or take shelter. Isn't it stupid to let the rain get to you?"

Xie Fu's mind trembled. Hold an umbrella! Take shelter from the rain!

If Li Taizhong's electric field was a heavy rain falling all over the sky, he had already opened an umbrella and used his true energy to protect his body, otherwise he would not be able to withstand the thunder and lightning and still punch hard.

But the wind and rain were too strong, coming from all directions, and the umbrella could hardly hold up.

If you can't hold on, just find a place to hide from the rain. How stupid!

The words "hide from the rain" flashed through his mind, and Xie Fu, who was attacking fiercely, suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

The fight between the two had already surpassed Bai Yue and Xue Yu's knowledge of martial arts, and they were surprised to see Xie Fu suddenly disappear out of thin air.

Li Taizhong looked up into the sky and praised, "Great body movement! You finally got the hang of it and know how to avoid the rain."
