Two Realms: I use martial arts to ask for longevity

Chapter 436: A General's Success + Cleaning Up the House
"Just stay by my side and do my work. I believe Su Youxian won't be able to tell anything wrong."

This time, after Zhang Taiyan cultivated to the true form of Zhenwu, he thought that his true energy was as vast as the ocean and the abyss. Not to mention that he did not take the sect's external affairs elders seriously, even the supreme elder Zuo Youxian was just that in his eyes.

These so-called "elders" who are not even qualified to enter the sect's caves are actually just tools to maintain the sect's structure, obtain resources for the sect, and preach and recruit disciples.

The reason why the Yunshui Sect’s fame has spread throughout the world and maintained its reputation for two thousand years is because of the inner sect elders like them.

The funny thing is that every time I come out of seclusion, I see some elders and true disciples who treat this sect as their own territory and do whatever they want, completely forgetting that they have elders above them.

He had no respect for the elders of the inner court.

Given his status and position, it was really ridiculous that he dared to disobey the first group of disciples he met.

Gu Mingxiao and Fang Chengdong, who came out together, had to give him some face.

What are these disciples in front of me?
Can you still rebel?
When Zhang Taiyan thought of this, he was too lazy to draw out the Broken Jade Knife on his back. He just stretched out his hand and pressed it. The vast amount of energy in the sky turned into a flood peak, forming a huge palm, and rumbled towards Yu Changsheng.

The palm was solid blue, like the most exquisite sapphire in the world, with a smooth surface that reflected the sunlight. As soon as it appeared, it had already caught Yu Changsheng.

Infinite suction is generated from the palm of your hand, just like a whirlpool in the deep sea.

Sucking in all objects around.

Yu Changsheng's body was enveloped by the suction force, and he involuntarily threw himself towards the giant blue hand. He felt that his internal energy and martial spirit were all suppressed by the qi. He even lost the ability to sense the heaven and earth, and could not sense any spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Startled, she flapped her swords and danced rapidly, drawing a strange arc. The sword light slashed outward, and her body was shot backwards by the recoil force.

puff……

A huge hand grabbed down with a loud bang.

A tiny crack appeared on the middle finger, and half of it collapsed.

Yu Changsheng's body broke free from the traction and rushed up to the sky without looking back. He disappeared with a "hum".

"How brave!"

Zhang Taiyan was too arrogant and only used less than half of his true energy, but Yu Changsheng's sword light cut a hole and let her escape. He felt embarrassed, so he changed from grabbing to slapping and blasted out with a palm.

As this palm was delivered, the huge Kun-shaped figure around it also let out a deafening roar.

The sky seemed to have darkened at this moment.

Countless lightning strikes were generated.

A gust of air, with traces of electric light, rushed straight to a place hundreds of feet away.

Yu Changsheng, who had just escaped into the sky and was left with only a tiny shadow, groaned, spat out a mouthful of blood, and accelerated again. His two swords turned into wings dangling from the sky, whistling and stirring up a strong wind. They flashed and were no longer visible.

“He actually escaped.”

"You are just an elder in charge of external affairs, and you haven't even touched the edge of Zhenwu. How could you escape from my hands?"

Zhang Taiyan's eyes widened, he was furious.

He slapped Zhan Shanhe in the face with his backhand, sending him flying.

He shouted sternly, "What are you still standing there for? Follow my orders and go to Pinghu immediately. If you disobey me, I will kill you without mercy."

He sneered. The spiritual tide of this world has been declining for a hundred years, and people have long forgotten that the disciples of Yunshui Sect rule the sect by military law. If they had not conquered a large territory at the foot of the mountain and posed enough threat to the imperial court, how could they have their current high position?
Do you really think that you can make the court worry just by talking about profound principles and making money by getting along with others?

Not to mention the imperial army, they would have been destroyed dozens or hundreds of times by other sects.

……

Yu Changsheng escaped from Wenxi and continued to fly forward quickly. He flew for more than forty miles before he found a hillside with dense forest and landed.

Her face turned pale and she opened her mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood.

She was just caught by the huge hand of Yuan Qi and controlled in all directions, and she almost couldn't rush out.

The control of vital energy at the level of celestial perception is of no use at all in front of the true Zhenwu realm.

In particular, Zhang Taiyan's strength has reached the second level of Zhenwu, the realm of refining the true reality.

The giant Kun that appeared seemed real... He could command the water elements and make the area within a hundred feet around him his home turf.

In this situation, controlling the vital energy or changing the techniques are completely useless.

The overwhelming effect brought by the advanced realm made Yu Changsheng unable to use any means.

If she hadn't been practicing the "Sea Splitting Knife" she had secretly learned from her nephew these days, and had already understood a hint of the strange meaning of cutting, I'm afraid her attack power wouldn't even be able to destroy the huge hand of vitality.

Not to mention escaping.

"Is this how these old ghosts in the sect behave?"

While Yu Changsheng felt incredible, he also felt a little disgusted. He felt that this sect seemed no longer the sect he knew.

But think back and think about it carefully.

Some of the ancient events recorded in the sect’s secret texts are all about a certain generation of ancestors who went into some place, killed many people... and then opened a villa in a certain place and established a dojo.

Or maybe a certain generation of masters fought against the devil, brought hundreds of his disciples, fought for three days and three nights, and survived alone...

Finally he defeated the great demon and became famous all over the world.

These things are recorded in the sect's secret book, which is a history of pioneering and heroic deeds.

However, the bloody and murderous intent that permeates it is clearly evident on the paper.

In the past, I only had awe and admiration, but now that I think about it carefully, it is not the case anymore.

One will be a million bones.

While a certain ancestor's reputation spread widely and he survived hundreds of battles, how many of his disciples lost their lives innocently?

In other words, in the eyes of the sect elders, low-level disciples are not worthy of having their own ideas and cognition.

Just know how to obey orders.

This can be seen from Zhang Taiyan's behavior.

After a hundred years of peace, the prestige of the Yunshui Sect has plummeted, and there are no outstanding and powerful people in the sect. The leader often retreats, and the supreme elder does not take care of things much.

The atmosphere in Yunshui Sect is very peaceful.

At most, there are some disciples who have selfish motives and secretly commit crimes for their own benefit.

However, with the arrival of another thousand-year spiritual tide, and with the emergence of old men from various schools and sects who had lived in seclusion in caves, to fight for another chance, in the end, they could not go back to the past.

Yu Changsheng sighed. She, who had never known what sorrow was, began to feel a little confused in her heart.

At this moment, she didn't know where to go.

"No, the situation is not good with my nephew."

"Given Zhang Laogui's style of doing things, he will definitely be captured and made to work for Zhang Zhongshu.

Junior-nephew Zhou has a very stubborn temper and will definitely not obey. This is bad."

Thinking of this, Yu Changsheng seemed to see the scene of Zhou Ping'an being beaten to death by Zhang Taiyan himself, and immediately became anxious.

He took the medicine in a hurry to heal the injuries that had just been caused by the palm strike that had shattered his internal energy.

He forced himself to walk with a weak body, stopped and started, and occasionally flew for a while. When it was dark, he finally arrived at Pinghu City.

……

"Uncle Master, how could you be injured so badly?"

Zhou Ping'an's mental perception was extremely sharp at this time.

Just by taking a glance, he discovered that Yu Changsheng's aura had weakened by 70%.

The originally lively and agile qi also became lifeless, especially several important acupoints in the chest and abdomen, which were blocked.

There is a powerful and domineering force lurking within, which is very stubborn.

Even with Uncle Yu's sword energy, it would be difficult to dispel it in a short period of time.

It was obvious that she had met an extremely powerful master who had injured her.

"Could it be that Cui Guangling showed up?"

Zhou Pingan was shocked.

If Cui Guangling takes action personally, the situation on the other side may be very bad.

"No, this is not the power of the Blood God Art. Instead, it is more like the power of our sect's Cang Hai Sword Qi. It is much more condensed than the power of Cang Hai Sword Qi."

Zhou Ping'an stretched out his hand to feel the patient's pulse, and a possibility suddenly occurred to his mind.

"Yes, you guessed it right. It was our elders who beat me."

Yu Changsheng smiled bitterly, "Nephew, there is really no other way this time. Run as far as you can, run to the mountains and wait for my master to come back. Maybe there will be a chance. Let's give up this inheritance if we can."

"Is it Zhang Taiyan?"

Zhou Ping'an shook his head and asked suddenly.

He had just received news from Wu Junsong that an elder from the inner court had left the cave. As a result, an elder appeared on the ground in Guangyun. It seemed that he was coming for him. It was actually easy to guess who the person was.

"That's him."

Yu Changsheng frowned.

Recount what happened previously.

After hearing this, Qingnv and the others became furious.

"This old man is so domineering. No, why is he targeting Brother Zhou? Didn't he say that he just came out of the cave?"

Xiao Chengfeng also had a worried look on his face: "It should be in Huangze County. If Zhang Zhongshu knew that his great-grandfather had gone out of seclusion, and it was such an important time now, how could he not know how to seize the opportunity?"

"This person is really petty. He must have been resentful of you for not wanting to help Huang Ze. Moreover, he is still thinking about the three counties on the right side of Li River. He wants to win without a fight and take them directly."

After all, Xiao Chengfeng is an outsider, and he is well versed in the rules of conduct of the aristocratic families.

He immediately guessed what Huangze County Magistrate Zhang Zhongshu was thinking.

Put yourself in Zhang Zhongshu's shoes.

Zhou Ping'an's existence is indeed like a thorn in one's throat.

As they both came from the Yunshui Sect, they also had the support of a group of people on the mountain.

But it is not easy to suppress it openly, after all, it happens without anyone knowing.

What's even more coincidental is that the three counties of Liyou where Zhou Ping'an is located just block the road from Yunzhou to Jiangzhou. If he can take over Liyou and go straight down to Guangyun, it is not impossible to fight for the territory of Jiangzhou.

From this, we can see Zhang Zhongshu's ambition.

He hasn't even taken over Yunzhou yet, but he has already started laying out his plans for Jiangzhou.

I don’t know where such a big appetite comes from?

Now I know that this person obviously understands that his great-grandfather will rush out of the house and down the mountain to lend a helping hand at the first possible moment.

In other words, there has always been correspondence between them.

It has been planned long ago.

This also explains why Zhang Zhongshu was valued by so many elders and disciples, and why they had already placed their bets and joined him a long time ago.

Chapter 446: Cleaning Up the House

"If you want to escape, forget it. Uncle Master should just take good care of your injuries."

Seeing Yu Changsheng was about to say something else, Zhou Ping'an stopped with a smile.

Instead, he took out a few silver needles.

"Uncle Master, you may not know that your injury may be very serious in the eyes of others, but to me, it is really nothing."

"Impermanence Needle?"

"That's right. A few days ago, I accidentally learned this technique from the Lishan Sword School. It looked interesting, so I practiced it casually. Now it comes in handy."

Zhou Pingan smiled.

Feel the silver needle piercing into your body, and you'll feel a tingling, comfortable sensation.

Next, the energy in the body became like beads, connected one by one, and then transformed into a long river that flowed endlessly.

Yu Changsheng looked at Zhou Pingan blankly, speechless for a moment: "You call this casual practice?"

This method of cycle of life and death, turning death into life, has not been used by anyone in the Lishan Sect for a long time, even in the Lishan Sect.

It is said that not only the Lishan Sect, but even the Samsara Sect, one of the three evil sects, spent hundreds of years carefully selecting and cultivating disciples, but they were not necessarily able to cultivate the means of the cycle of life and death at the ninth level of refinement.

"Maybe, I am very compatible with this martial art, so I can practice it faster." Zhou Ping'an actually felt strange as well. It was not that easy for him to practice Fu Bo Gong, a relatively low-level sword technique that laid the foundation for Canghai.

Instead, it took a lot of hard work, and even expended countless threads of willpower, and he pondered it bit by bit, and even fought with Lin Huaiyu day and night, before he finally achieved perfection.

This is because he has already studied sword techniques in depth and practiced them for many years in modern society.

It has a deep foundation.

Even with cheating, it’s still not easy to practice.

However, the "Needle of Impermanence of Life and Death" is completely different.

After he found it in the secret room of Baicao Hall, he practiced it casually, then went home and used his willpower to practice. Before long, he made breakthroughs one after another.

It seemed that there was no difficulty at all, and he achieved perfection directly. It was much easier than achieving perfection in the Undulating Wave Sword Technique.

Obviously, this acupuncture technique is many times more difficult and of a higher level...

Zhou Ping'an has a good habit. If he can't figure something out, he won't think about it and will just attribute everything to his talent.

There's nothing much to say about talent.

I still haven't figured out the source of my sense of crisis.

It has become my instinct and I use it very easily.

"Are you really not going to hide for a while?"

Yu Changsheng thought about it, and although he was unwilling in his heart, he still felt that it was better to be safe.

"No need to hide. I believe that this Grand Master Zhang should be a reasonable person."

A hint of coldness flashed across Zhou Ping'an's eyes.

He had already heard about how frustrated Senior Sister Zhan and the others were.

He was beaten and scolded, but he couldn't even talk back.

What a fucking thing this is.

More importantly, his Guangyun layout was destroyed by that old man.

In case Guangyun County finds an opportunity and sends troops to attack.

It wasn't just a few people who died.

It is very likely that his own army will be wiped out.

How can I hide at this time?

There's no point hiding.

One step back will make every step difficult.

The foundation that was built with great difficulty and the momentum that was accumulated were just given up like that and became a wedding dress for others.

Then should I continue practicing?

Do you still want a future?

The other party relied on his status as an elder to issue orders, and to be honest, he was actually right.

As for the way he treats his disciples, beating or scolding them, and his tyrannical and overbearing style, in the concept of this world, is it actually nothing?
Parents to their children.

A teacher to his students.

That means scolding, beating and cursing at will, and accusing them of being unfilial and disrespectful to teachers.

On the contrary, if disciples or children refute, it would be a great rebellion.

This is the same as the fact that people in the world are helpless and will be called traitors after they rise up in rebellion.

Even if you can't live, why don't you just die?

If you dare to rebel, that is wrong.

It sounds like a strange truth.

But this has been the case for thousands of years.

Some concepts have been formed and are firmly locked in people's minds.

Therefore, Yu Changsheng’s first reaction was to escape.

I never thought of resisting and treating Zhang Taiyan as an enemy.

In her heart, although what Zhang Taiyan did was a bit excessive, it was just excessive.

Even though she was beaten, she was just angry but did not hold too much resentment.

Zhou Ping'an somewhat disagrees with this idea.

What's more, he was not a native disciple of the Yunshui Sect, and did not regard the sect as his own like Yu Changsheng.

Not to mention that he is not his master, even if it is Su Lianxue, if he really wants to throw away this inheritance, he will have to argue with her, not to mention the elder of the inner court who has nothing to do with him.

Then what? Who does that mean?
"If something cannot be done, just withdraw from it. Preserving yourself is the most important thing." After all, Yu Changsheng is a pure heart that can directly understand the true nature. He keenly sensed Zhou Ping'an's intention of "rather die in glory than live in dishonor."

At the same time, I also sensed the anger in his heart.

I didn't try to persuade him anymore.

He simply returned to his own quiet room and practiced quietly, thinking that if Zhang Taiyan really came and started a dispute, he would definitely not let him get the upper hand this time.

She finally figured it out.

To face a master in the Zhenwu realm, his cultivation strength is far from enough.

Once the opponent controls your vital energy, you will become the home team.

She wouldn't even have the chance to draw her sword.

By then it will be too late.

It would be better to float on the periphery and wait for an opportunity to attack.

Just like that time when we dealt with the old crocodile.

Zhang Taiyan might be much stronger than the old crocodile, but his methods were still the same. At most, his attack power was stronger and his control range was wider.

……

"Zhou Ping'an, I have arrived in person, why don't you come out to greet me?"

The next day, I had just had breakfast.

Zhou Ping'an brought a cup of tea, quietly resting his mind, his eyes flickering slightly, as if he was making some decision.

Soon, he felt a powerful aura slowly approaching from outside the mansion.

What was supposed to come, finally came.

Qingnv looked over with a little concern.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

An elder of the inner court of Yunshui Sect, a master of the middle stage of Zhenwu and the true form of cultivation, was indeed a bit intimidating.

Even though Qingnv knew that Zhou Ping'an's strength had greatly improved, she still wasn't sure at all.

Xiao Chengfeng, Yu Changlie and others looked even paler.

At this time, he was able to stand on the side of Zhou Ping'an and had no intention of retreating.

Even Zhou Ping'an himself felt that their determination was strong enough.

The door is open.

When Zhou Ping'an arrived at the door, he saw an old man in a black Taoist robe with eyebrows as sharp as knives and eyes.

He was standing there, looking down slightly.

Behind him, more than thirty disciples of the Yunshui Sect all looked listless.

Senior Sister Zhan, who originally had a heroic temperament and a strong personality, now had her face swollen like a ball, and her eyes had become two slits.

There was still some blood at the corner of his mouth.

He was supported by a female disciple, and his legs were a little unsteady.

Obviously the injury is serious.

"I didn't know that Grand Master Zhang was so honored to come. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I'm so sorry. Please come in and have a seat. Xiaoqing, serve some tea."

Zhou Ping'an's eyes flashed, a smile appeared on his face, and he extended his hand to greet him.

Normally, when meeting the elders and masters of the sect, one should bow and greet them.

Even kneeling down to pay respect is normal etiquette.

Zhou Ping'an looked at Zhan Shanhe's miserable condition. Seeing these senior brothers and sisters from the Yunshui Sect whom he had sent out to lead the troops to fight, being treated like this, he was furious.

If it weren't for the etiquette of this world, he wouldn't even offer tea.

However, on the surface, try not to let others talk and maintain normal etiquette.

"No need."

However, Zhang Taiyan did not appreciate it at all.

He waved his hand and said, "Pack up and lead your elite troops to Huangze County to serve. If there is any delay, don't blame me for not giving face to your master."

"Wait, Grandmaster Zhang, are you speaking in the name of the elder of the sect, or in the name of the Zhang family of Huangze County?"

Zhou Ping'an asked doubtfully.

"Speaking in the name of the sect master, I'm sorry, I have to ask for the sect master's order...

You have neither the grace of passing on the art nor the authority to dispatch disciples, so it is too much to say this."

Zhou Ping'an said slowly, "If you are talking about the name of the Zhang family in Huangze County, you should go somewhere cooler and don't come here to make trouble."

"Well, you are indeed a rebellious person. In this case, I will kill you on behalf of your master, which will be considered as clearing the family."

Zhang Taiyan became furious when he heard this.

He stretched out his hand and slapped it down with a loud bang.

This time, his anger came so quickly that he didn't even have time to refine his form. With a thought, he drew the boundless energy of heaven and earth and gathered it in his palm.

The air around them sank and turned into a vast swamp.

Everyone froze in place, unable to move.

All that could be seen was Zhang Taiyan's figure shaking, and then he slapped Zhou Ping'an on the head with one palm.

"not good."

"careful!"

Yu Changsheng was watching from afar, screaming in his heart that something was wrong. With a few exclamations, he flew up on his sword, turned into a ray of sword light, and struggled to break through the huge aura that was solidified like glue.

Before she could reach Zhou Ping'an.

Suddenly, my eyes blurred.

I heard a huge roar like a heavenly drum.

Eardrums exploded.

Limbs sore...

The air vibrated and the buildings shook.

Overlapping afterimages began to appear before my eyes.

It was hard to see the scene clearly.

Then a green shadow was seen taking a step forward and throwing a punch, hitting Zhang Taiyan's sparkling green claws hard.

Amidst the twinkling stars, the space in front of the fist collapsed inch by inch, and the air wave rolled forward.

The spot was turned into a pitch-black void.

Zhang Taiyan's palm slowly turned into blood mist and ashes in the wind and force of his fist as if in slow motion...

As his fist moved forward, his palm, arm, and right shoulder were shattered at the same time.

The blood rained like fog, spreading in all directions.

At the same time, Zhang Taiyan's face still had some ferocity, and his body was spinning, heading diagonally backwards...

"BIU"

It flew into the air and out of the city.

"What a sect ancestor, he is nothing more than this."

Zhou Ping'an sneered and stepped lightly on the ground.

For dozens of feet, spider-web-like cracks extended in all directions.

His body had turned into a streak of light, leaving a long trail of energy. He caught up with Zhang Taiyan's flying figure and kicked him hard.

bang...

Another loud noise that shook the eardrums was heard.

A huge Kun fish just appeared in the sky, covering half of the city.

This kick turned him into a shadow all over the sky.

Screaming.

Zhang Taiyan's tattered body flew back several miles again.
