Marx and Engels, like children listening to an old man's story, had faces full of anticipation for what would happen next.
Did she lose?

But Chai Shaoqin shook his head:
"This doesn't fully capture the situation at the time. Looking back now, I can't help but admire Yun Zhongjian, who dared to face the Heavenly Demon alone. And as I said, she didn't do it entirely out of recklessness."

"In fact, she had a very accurate grasp of her own martial arts level. It was a very intense battle. At the beginning of the battle, Tianyao almost completely suppressed Yunzhongjian."

"Moreover, the Heavenly Demon inflicted enormous damage on her, while he remained unharmed. The Cloud Sword could at most leave him with minor scratches, and the Heavenly Demon also possesses extremely strong self-healing abilities."

"In the blink of an eye, these sword marks will disappear. Moreover, as a martial artist, Tian Yao can naturally sense the sword energy hidden within those sword marks. Whenever he recovers from the damage, he will also use it to expel the sword energy."

"He didn't allow Yun Zhongjian to use her ultimate skill, Sha Yun. It seemed like the outcome was already decided at that time. It was precisely because of this that Tian Yao misjudged the situation and adopted a more conservative fighting style."

"Of course, no one can guess what Yun Zhongjian is planning to do."

"Ultimately, the Heavenly Demon's actions gave Cloud Sword an opportunity, allowing her to truly comprehend the ultimate technique 'Immortal Slaying' that she had conceived over a decade in the moment of her impending death, according to the martial artists present at the time..."

"No one saw clearly what happened, but the Heavenly Demon was completely killed by her."

"Moreover, it wasn't just a matter of cutting off his head or anything. The Heavenly Demon didn't leave any corpse behind. The Cloud Sword directly cleaved the Heavenly Demon into thin air, giving him no chance to heal himself."

"She surpassed the Heavenly Demon, at least in martial arts..."

Although he already knew pretty much what he was going to say, Marne still cooperated and asked:

"So the Heavenly Demon didn't die?"

But before Chai Shaoqin could answer, Liu Feiyu's voice came from behind Ma En:
"No, he's dead beyond dead. By the way, why are you telling my junior brother about the war between the Heavenly Demons when he's only just started? Can't you keep a little mystery for him?"

"No need, no need!" Ma En quickly replied, "I asked my senior brother myself."

He didn't want any mystery in his memories.

Upon hearing this, Chai Shaoqin said with a hint of smugness:
"Did you hear that? My junior brother told me to say it."

Liu Feiyu gave him a somewhat annoyed look, then directly took his place and said:
"There is no doubt that she killed the Heavenly Demon. The Immortal Slaying Technique is an extremely terrifying sword technique. Almost no innate martial artist can survive in the face of this move, and they will not even leave behind a corpse."

"After all, this sword technique was created to kill immortals. The mortal body of a martial artist is naturally unable to withstand this level of attack. Therefore, before this move is fully unleashed, the martial artist's body will be wiped out by this power because it exceeds the limit, leaving no trace."

“If you listen to Chai Shaoqin tell you, he might describe it as the effect of the Immortal Slayer, but as a martial artist, you have to be able to distinguish these important things. The Heavenly Demon’s body was directly erased, not because the Immortal Slayer possessed such strange power, but because his demonic body also could not withstand such power.”

Seemingly to prove Liu Feiyu wrong, Chai Shaoqin quickly added:

"Simply put, they were completely annihilated by the terrifying power contained within the Immortal Slayer before they even saw its full extent. That's much easier to understand than what your senior sister said, right?"

Liu Feiyu gave him a cold glance:

"Heh, you can't understand martial arts by cutting corners. The attitude that we martial artists should have is to thoroughly understand what we don't understand."

Clearly not wanting to listen to her nagging, Chai Shaoqin immediately interrupted:

"She did kill that celestial demon, but the problem is that he is no longer a martial artist, but a terrifying demon who has returned from the brink of death, and he also possesses extremely terrifying power among demons."

"He can come back to life, and he doesn't need to rely on his body or soul at all. No matter what method you use to kill him, it won't work. Sooner or later, he will be able to climb out of the place of death again."

"But all the martial artists who didn't know about this began to celebrate his death and that Yun Zhongjian had mastered the ultimate technique that could kill demons."

"During that time, everyone felt that she had finally defeated the Divine Fist and proved herself."

"Two months later, at a celebration, the Heavenly Demon, who had fully recovered and even made a breakthrough in his martial arts, reappeared and launched a sneak attack."

"And this time his target was to kill his own Cloud Sword."

Knowing his opponent's trump card, he first took advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and destroyed the three swords that Yun Zhongjian carried with him. Then, he completely adjusted his fighting style according to his opponent.

"In just over ten breaths, the Cloud Sword was already on its last legs, and just then..."

Liu Feiyu suddenly took over the conversation and continued the story naturally:
"The Divine Fist, who was not originally part of the celebration, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, as if no one had seen how the Cloud Sword killed the Heavenly Demon, nor had anyone seen how he appeared."

"It's as if he's always there."

Chai Shaoqin smiled:

"Senior sister, you're still criticizing me? Weren't you having a great time talking about it yourself?"

Liu Feiyu completely ignored Chai Shaoqin's words:

"The divine fist gently pinched the sharp claws that the Heavenly Demon extended. It could easily cut through divine weapons. When the claws touched those hands, they were like chicks being pinched and completely unable to move."

"Upon witnessing this scene, the Heavenly Demon immediately severed his own arms, which then rapidly grew back. The last battle had not pushed him to this extent, so almost no one expected how fast he could heal.

"His body was completely unharmed in an instant."

"But as he healed, Mr. God Fist destroyed his severed arms, then swung his fist faster than his opponent, and struck him in the face as he finished healing."

"Instantly, the Heavenly Demon's upper body exploded again, but it also healed itself at the same speed. Then, the Divine Fist pressed down on him and kept beating him, and the Heavenly Demon began to struggle and resist."

"The fight lasted for more than ten minutes. Tianyao used all his skills, but as time went by, everyone present became more and more aware that a new era was about to begin."

"Because the Divine Fist remained unscathed from all of the Heavenly Demon's attacks."

"This is no exaggeration, he really didn't lose a single hair."

Realizing something was wrong, the Heavenly Demon finally stopped all his attacks and, panting, asked the Divine Fist, "How did you do that? What kind of underhanded tricks did you use?"

"At that time, Divine Fist answered his question: 'You are strong, but not strong enough to hurt me, nor strong enough that I would have to resort to some evil methods to deal with you.'"

"Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Demon still didn't realize the gravity of the situation. He wanted to reach some kind of agreement with the Divine Fist through words: 'You may have defeated me this time, but that doesn't mean you can defeat me forever. And even if you could defeat me forever, you still couldn't stop me from slaughtering your relatives and friends.'"

"But God Fist immediately answered: 'There will be no next time.' "Then, he made his move, but I can't tell you what God Fist did, because just as his appearance was not seen by other martial artists, his move was also not seen by them."

"But in an instant, the Heavenly Demon lost and was no longer a threat to the martial arts world."

"This marks the end of the Great War between Heavenly Demons."

Marx and Engels asked in confusion:
"So how did he solve the problem of the resurrection of the Heavenly Demon?"

Chai Shaoqin couldn't help but interrupt and say:
"The Divine Fist didn't solve the problem because he didn't kill the Heavenly Demon. At the time, he used a complex martial art that no one could understand, which is why no one saw what happened."

"Because the martial arts he used were so exquisite."

"Although we don't know how he did it, we do know what happened in the end."

"Because the Heavenly Demon possesses the ability to resurrect from the dead, in order to truly end his terror, the Divine Fist must imprison him forever and prevent him from having any possibility of ending his own life."

"So the Divine Fist directly 'flattened' the Heavenly Demon, or rather..."

"He was beaten into a secondary painting."

Liu Feiyu immediately added details about the martial arts:
"Moreover, it wasn't the kind of sealing in a painting, nor was it some metaphorical technique. The fact is that the Divine Fist actually turned the Heavenly Demon into a painting, and the Heavenly Demon, even as a painting, still possessed basic demonic characteristics, such as being immortal and indestructible."

"That's right, he is a living painting, but it's not because God Fist can turn anyone into a living painting. He can just turn his enemies into paintings and trap them inside."

"And the fact that the demon can still live after being turned into a painting is due to the demon's own ability."

"But this is only one of the few demonic characteristics he has retained. After all, the Heavenly Demon has now become a painting, and he has completely lost his physical body, which is almost two-dimensional."

"And you should also be able to imagine that a celestial demon who is still alive without a physical body cannot use the little bit of martial arts he has left, since he no longer has a physical body, meridians, and acupoints."

"Similarly, he naturally couldn't use martial arts to end his own life either."

"Moreover, the celestial demon who was turned into a painting was also trapped forever by the power of the divine fist. He not only lost almost all his powers except for immortality, but the painting itself also had a terrifying binding force."

"According to Divine Fist, this power can not only maintain the state of the painting for the Heavenly Demon, but also resist its internal resistance. Unfortunately, the latter was not actually put to use."

"Because the Heavenly Demon has no ability to resist."

"In the end, he was trapped in the painting forever and hung at the headquarters of the Eastern Federation Martial Arts Association."

Chai Shaoqin nodded:
"That's right. If you go to the headquarters of the Eastern Federation Martial Arts Association now and submit an application to them, you can see this terrible demon who once slaughtered half of the martial arts world."

"And no one will stop you from visiting, because there's no concern about who will rescue him."

"Because not only does nobody have that ability..."

"And nobody has the guts to do it."

This is the masterpiece of Divine Fist.

At this moment, Ma En also realized to some extent just how terrifying this Divine Fist was. His opponent was so terrifying that he could not possibly defeat him. Although he could strip him of his abilities after defeating such an opponent, he had absolutely no chance of winning him in a direct confrontation.

But Divine Fist solved all the problems with ease.

He instantly killed, sealed, and nullified all of his opponent's troublesome abilities. Even martial arts, which belong to human knowledge, were indirectly sealed by stripping the opponent of his human identity.

This is too terrible.

However, Marx and Engels did not dwell on their reflections at this moment, and raised the question they wanted to ask:

"I have a question: what are demons? Are they monsters? And do immortals exist?"

Chai Shaoqin and Liu Feiyu exchanged glances; neither of them had expected Marx and Engels to ask such a question.

Liu Feiyu frowned, clearly quite disappointed that Ma En hadn't asked any questions about martial arts.

But before she could scold him, Chai Shaoqin answered enthusiastically:
"We don't know the answer to this question either. Anyway, the Heavenly Demon is definitely still human, but he is also a demon. So I have no idea what a demon is. It's probably something between a monster and a human."

"As for immortals, that's even more of a fantasy. Some people say that if you practice martial arts to the extreme, you can become an immortal, but Divine Fist has personally denied this claim, so I guess it's just a legend."

Marx and Engels nodded, then steered the conversation back on track:
"I see. So, Yun Zhongjian became a disciple of Shenquan after that?"

Chai Shaoqin then remembered that he had initially been introducing the disciples of the Divine Fist:

"Oh, right, that's right. A few years later, she became a disciple of the Divine Fist. No one knows how this happened, but no one dares to question it."

"But her story doesn't end here. If you follow the news in the martial arts world today, you may know the name of this swordsman in the clouds, 'Hua Lengyun'—who is also the wife of the current president of the martial arts association."

Upon hearing this, Marx and Engels' expression turned somewhat strange:
"what?"

Chai Shaoqin revealed a triumphant smile:
"You didn't expect this, did you? Not only you, but everyone at the time didn't expect it."

"The incident occurred shortly after Hua Lengyun became an apprentice. Suddenly, news spread that they were going to hold a wedding. The entire martial arts world was in an uproar because of this, and even many conspiracy theories arose as a result."

"But if you think about it from another perspective, it's actually quite reasonable. They knew each other when they were very young and had gone through countless things together, so it's normal for them to develop feelings for each other."

"Not to mention that they are likely to be each other's martial arts confidants, and they were probably already lovers during the Heavenly Demon War, otherwise it would have been difficult for Divine Fist to arrive so quickly."

"Moreover, given Shenquan's personality, he rarely does things that torment others."

"If they hadn't been lovers, the Divine Fist would probably have just killed this immortal demon."

"So? Now that you know about their secret relationship, can you sense that many parts of her story seem to be related to this?"
