After saying this, Li Hu took out a jade pendant and crushed it on the spot. Pangu saw this but did not stop him.

"Today I'll see what you can do to me. Don't worry, your good days are over." Pangu didn't rush to kill Li Hu, but instead waited for him to call for reinforcements. Because Li Bing had said that Li Hu was his uncle's son, the one coming later should be Li Bing's uncle.

Li Bing walked to Pangu's side: "Let's call it a day. You've already taught him a lesson."

Pangu said, "It's not over yet. I said I would take back everything you've lost, and I haven't done so yet."

Li Bing sighed, "It's been so long, I'm used to it now. You don't need to do this for me."

Pangu shook his head: "You just watch from the side, I'll handle this."

After saying this, Pangu ignored Li Bing and stood outside the door waiting for Li Bing's uncle to arrive.

Fifteen minutes later, a fierce-looking man arrived at the guest room with a dozen guards.

"Who dares to hurt the young master? Get out here right now!" The man shouted in the courtyard, then quickly walked to Li Hu's side.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Li Hu glared at the man: "Li Yang, are you blind? I don't look like anything's wrong! Hurry up and bring me the pills!"

Li Yang, despite being scolded, smiled obsequiously and said, "Yes, yes, young master, don't worry. Leave this to me. I will definitely teach that person who dared to lay a hand on you a lesson."

He took out several healing pills and fed them to Li Hu. Li Hu was furious: "The person who hit me is right across the street! I'll make sure he dies a horrible death!"

Li Yang turned around and stared at Pangu not far away: "So it was you who were not afraid of death and dared to attack our young master."

Pangu was puzzled by this: "Isn't Li Bing your young master? When did he become Li Hu?"

Li Yang smiled dismissively: "He's not anymore. The current young master is Li Hu. You will pay the price for your actions."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so guards immediately surrounded Pangu.

Upon hearing this, Li Bing questioned, "When was I crippled? The elders haven't made a decision yet, have they?"

Seeing that Pangu was surrounded, Li Yang felt victory was assured and said to Li Bing, "It's all settled now, you're crippled. Why don't you come and pay your respects to the new young master?"

Li Bing sighed deeply, his face filled with disappointment: "I thought you would stop there, but I didn't expect you to go this far."

Li Yang burst into laughter: "You're of no use now. We'll arrest you both and throw you in jail, where you can enjoy yourselves!"

Pangu turned to look at Li Bing: "Now you see their true colors, don't you? Are you still going to keep tolerating this?"

Li Bing shook his head. After what they had just said, he had completely given up hope: "I will support whatever you want to do next. I have no hope for them anymore. I never thought they would go this far."

Seeing that Li Bing had finally come to his senses, Pangu said, "Very well, now it's time to take back everything that belongs to you."

Li Yang burst into laughter: "Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? You? Men, seize both of them!"

The dozen or so guards surrounding Pangu immediately swarmed forward. Pangu smiled lightly, took out his Pangu Axe, and swung it down in succession. Several axe shadows flashed, and the dozen or so guards fell to the ground, spitting out blood.

Pangu wiped the axe surface, turned to look at Li Yang: "Weren't you quite arrogant just now? Come on, let me see how capable you really are."

Seeing all the men he brought fall, a flicker of fear crossed Li Yang's heart, but he quickly regained his composure: "Do you know whose people we are? Do you dare to lay a hand on us?"

Pangu laughed: "I've already beaten Li Hu to the ground, and you're still asking me if I dare to make a move? Did you forget your brain?"

Mocking Pangu like this, Li Yang could no longer hold back and charged forward with his spear: "Let me show you my strength, prepare to die!"

He raised his gun and thrust it at Pangu. Pangu, however, stood motionless. Li Yang, thinking Pangu was frightened, charged even faster.

"Are you running so fast because you're in a hurry to die?" Pangu said, raising his Pangu Axe and unleashing a solid axe shadow that flew straight towards Li Yang.

Seeing the attack, Li Yang felt a chill run down his spine, but he still steeled himself and swung his spear to meet it. His spear shattered the moment it touched the axe shadow. The axe shadow surged forward, striking Li Yang squarely.

Li Yang staggered backward, crashing heavily against the wall before collapsing next to Li Hu. He struggled to his feet, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

"Don't you dare run away, just wait here, I'll go get more people!" Li Yang shouted at Pangu despite the excruciating pain.

Pangu put away his Pangu Axe and said calmly, "I'll stand right here. Call as many people as you want, and let me see what they're capable of."

Li Yang turned to Li Hu and said, "Young Master, let's just invite the Lord of the Manor over. The others are no match for him."

Li Hu nodded: "It seems only my father can defeat him." After saying that, he took out another jade pendant and crushed it.

After witnessing Pangu's power, Li Hu felt even more that this person was unfathomable. But when he thought of his father's cultivation level, he felt relieved—Pangu was definitely no match for his father.

"When my father arrives, you can just wait to die!" Li Hu swallowed a few healing pills, his breathing became more stable, and he said fiercely to Pangu.

Upon hearing Li Hu's words, Pan Gu sneered, his tone filled with disdain: "You'd better invite your father over right away. I want to see what kind of person could have given birth to such an extremely foolish son as you."

Upon hearing Pangu's words, Li Hu's expression instantly became incredibly complex, a mixture of anger, humiliation, and resentment. If his gaze could transform into a sharp blade, he would have already torn Pangu to pieces.

At this moment, Pangu was eagerly awaiting the arrival of Li Hu's father, because he understood that only by defeating that man could he regain everything that Li Bing had lost.

Li Bing was filled with worry at this moment. He knew how terrifying Li Hu's father's strength was, so he was very concerned about Pangu's situation.

……

On the other side, a figure stood in front of the waterfall, deep in thought. This person was none other than Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng did not rush to attack the waterfall, but instead quietly observed it in silence.

After repeated hard practice, Ying Zheng is now able to stop the waterfall from flowing for more than a minute.

But he wasn't satisfied with that. Deep down, a voice kept telling him that he could do better and not just stay at the level of one minute.

Ying Zheng adjusted himself to his best condition, suddenly stood up, and threw a punch at the waterfall in front of him.

On the surface, this punch seemed ordinary, with no external fluctuations of power. However, the moment the fist touched the waterfall, the water flow stopped abruptly, as if it had been forcibly intercepted.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng realized that after these days of tempering, his Dao power had been able to be completely condensed and no longer leaked out.

The power released by this punch caused the waterfall to stagnate for more than an hour.

Ying Zheng slowly exhaled. He had gained a lot in getting to this point, and his strength had improved significantly compared to before.

"It seems you have gradually mastered the method of controlling your own Dao power."

Xuan Luo's voice rang softly in Ying Zheng's ear.

Ying Zheng turned around, saw Xuan Luo standing behind him, and respectfully cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"I have met you, teacher. I have recently figured out some tricks, but I don't know if they are right or wrong. Could you please give me some pointers?" Although Ying Zheng was already able to control his Dao power to a certain extent, he still hoped that Xuan Luo could help him take it to the next level.

Xuan Luo took out several jade bottles and handed them to Ying Zheng, saying:

"This is a pill I refined for you. It can help you recover your lost Dao power in a short time."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the jade bottle from Xuan Luo's hand.

"Thank you for your gift, teacher."

Xuan Luo waved his hand at Ying Zheng and said:

"I saw your attack just now; there's still room for improvement."

Ying Zheng immediately replied, "Please enlighten me, teacher."

Xuan Luo nodded to Ying Zheng and said, "Next, watch my movements carefully. Some things you have to figure out for yourself, instead of just listening to others."

After saying this, Xuan Luo slowly raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and threw a punch forward.

In Ying Zheng's eyes, the power contained in this punch was extremely vast, but its appearance was simple and unadorned, even giving people the illusion of being weak.

When Xuan Luo's attack reached the front of the waterfall, the power suddenly erupted, slamming into the water curtain and freezing the entire waterfall in place.

Xuan Luo slowly withdrew his right hand, turned to look at Ying Zheng, and asked, "What are your thoughts after seeing my punch?"

After hearing Xuan Luo's words, Ying Zheng did not answer immediately. Instead, he gently closed his eyes and carefully savored the feeling of Xuan Luo's punch.

Xuan Luo's attack kept replaying in Ying Zheng's mind, and gradually, Ying Zheng's body began to move involuntarily in response to the images in his mind.

Xuan Luo saw this scene but did not make a sound to disturb him, because he knew that Ying Zheng had entered a unique state of mind.

If one can gain some insight from this, the improvement in strength will be a qualitative leap.

Ying Zheng slowly raised his right fist and unleashed a powerful strike. This strike, while seemingly devoid of any Daoist energy fluctuations, was no less fast.

When the force of the fist reached the waterfall, there was still no sign of its power overflowing.

In the blink of an eye, the attack struck the waterfall, and the water flow completely disappeared where the attack passed.

Even more surprisingly, the attack did not stop there, but continued to go upstream, blasting away the water above layer by layer.

Xuan Luo narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this scene; the situation before him was indeed beyond his expectations.

Ying Zheng was able to do this, going directly upstream and achieving extraordinary results.

However, the attack was eventually worn away by the water flow, but the waterfall remained at the point where it was initially interrupted.

At this moment, Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes. He had just felt as if he had entered a completely new state, and the feeling of being able to cultivate was extremely pleasant to him.

"Teacher, your control over Dao power is truly divine. I was inspired by your attack, which is why I threw that punch just now."

"Teacher, what do you think of my punch?"

Facing Ying Zheng's expectant face, Xuan Luo shook his head, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

"While your idea is good, take a good look and see if your attack has actually stopped the waterfall."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked towards the distant waterfall and found that it was still cascading down without any sign of being blocked.

Ying Zheng was very confused. He had clearly stopped the waterfall from flowing just now, so why was the water still flowing as usual?

"The key to an attack is 'precision,' not quantity. Don't bite off more than you can chew. What you need to do right now is to complete the task I've assigned you well."

"Don't rush to make any adjustments, because this is just the beginning, and there are many things I haven't taught you yet."

Xuan Luo slowly spoke to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng sighed and said, "Teacher, you may not have noticed, but I can now stop the waterfall from flowing for more than an hour. Isn't that enough?"

Xuan Luo shook his head and said, "You've only just reached the threshold; you're far from meeting my requirements."

Ying Zheng was puzzled by Xuan Luo's words. In his opinion, achieving this was already quite an accomplishment.

He is currently only a half-step Transcendent, while Xuan Luo's realm is far superior to his, and his control over Dao power is naturally much stronger.

“Teacher, with my current abilities, I’ve already done quite well. If you insist that I reach your level, I’m afraid I really can’t do it,” Ying Zheng said to Xuan Luo.

After listening to Ying Zheng's words, Xuan Luo didn't say anything more, but instead suppressed his cultivation level to the same level as Ying Zheng's.

Then he threw another punch forward, which, upon reaching the waterfall, also blocked the flow of water, leaving it completely still.

An hour passed, and the waterfall still hadn't flowed down.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed quietly, and Xuan Luo's attack still firmly blocked the waterfall, without moving an inch.

Ying Zheng stood still all day, staring intently at the attack.

He originally thought that Xuan Luo's attack would last for at most three hours, but a day had passed and the attack still showed no signs of weakening.

At this moment, Xuan Luo's voice rang in Ying Zheng's ears:

"Now that we're at the same level, I've achieved the same effect as before. Do you still think it's impossible?"

Ying Zheng shook his head and said to Xuan Luo, "It turns out I was too impetuous. I will definitely cultivate seriously from now on."

Upon hearing Ying Zheng say this, Xuan Luo nodded in satisfaction.

"If you can think like this, you've already succeeded halfway. Keep practicing."

"When you can keep your attacks going all day long, then you've succeeded and can come find me."

Ying Zheng nodded to Xuan Luo and said firmly, "Don't worry, teacher, this day won't keep you waiting too long."

Seeing Ying Zheng's confident demeanor, Xuan Luo smiled and said, "I hope to see you again in a month. During this month, I will not come to guide you anymore. From now on, you will have to rely on yourself, just like before."

Ying Zheng nodded to Xuan Luo again. (End of Chapter)
