Chapter 212 Victory or Loss
In front of the Fengyun Monument.

The battle between Lu Ping and Dongfang Bubai about speed is in full swing.

Advancing and retreating, the momentum is like wind and thunder;

Parry and block, afterimages fly;
White needle palm power, both hard and soft;
The tricks are so clever that they are difficult to discern with the naked eye.

The fight is fast and fierce. If you are not careful, you will go to the underworld and return.

In just one stick of incense's time, the two had already exchanged over three hundred moves.

The intermittent steps made the two of them create seven or eight "clones" each in the battle circle.

These clones are afterimages left behind by extremely fast speeds, but even the movements of the afterimages are beyond the ability of ordinary people to keep up.

It was clearly a decisive battle between two people, but at this moment it looked as if there were more than ten people fighting. This scene made the surrounding heroes excited, dazzled and amazed.

If you are distracted for a moment, you will no longer be able to tell who is the real person and who is the afterimage.

However, to them, it didn't seem to matter which of the more than ten figures fighting on the field was the real person and which was the afterimage. All they cared about was watching it for fun.

"Old bug, how many did you see?" Hu Tiehua took a sip of wine and looked at Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang had sweat on his forehead and said quietly: "Two Dongfang Bubai and three Lu Ping."

Hu Tiehua laughed when he heard this: "Hahahaha...that's much better than me. I saw three per person."

The reason why the two people see different amounts is because there is a difference in their dynamic vision and reaction nerves.

The stronger a person is in this aspect, the more they can keep up with the movements of Lu Ping and Dongfang Bubai and see the battle situation more clearly, so the number of afterimages they see is relatively small.

In the eyes of ordinary people, let alone seeing all five afterimages, it would not be an exaggeration to see seven afterimages of each person.

"This is the value of the final round of 'The World's Fastest'..."

A gangster who was standing close to Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua could no longer hold back the sadness in his eyes. He could only close his eyes and ask the big boss next to him with tears in his eyes.

"Afterimage clone, can Xiang Shuai also do this?"

Chu Liuxiang followed the figures in the battle circle with his eyes and sighed, "They are much faster than me, and their martial arts are more sophisticated than mine. I probably can't do it."

real or fake?

I thought I could take advantage of Xiang Shuai's "clone" and secretly take one away...

The extra felt a little regretful after hearing this: "So, the title of 'the fastest man in the world' will change hands from now on?"

"yes……"

Chu Liuxiang agreed with the meaning of the words, but as soon as he said it, he felt something was wrong: "Wait! What do you mean by 'the fastest man in the world'?"

The extra looked at Chu Liuxiang in confusion and scratched his head in confusion: "Xiang Shuai, don't you know? This 'Fastest Man in Jianghu' is you!"

"I've never heard of myself having such a 'name'!!"

"Then I don't know. Anyway, before today, everyone thought so."

Chu Liuxiang's expression did not look very good. After all, no one would look very good when they knew that they had been called "Fast Boy" for who knows how long.

In the battle, Lu Ping used softness to overcome hardness, used stillness to control movement, controlled the wind and clouds, and integrated the power of yin and yang, making him as steady as a mountain. On the other hand, Dongfang Bubai was gradually showing signs of fatigue due to the persistent and swift attacks.

Bang——! !

The two palms struck each other again, Dongfang Bubai retreated seven steps to release the force, then dived and turned forward.

A person dressed in red fluttered through the air, like a butterfly dancing in a garden in spring. If one did not know that this person was Dongfang Bubai, one might have mistaken her for a fairy in red who had come down to earth to experience trials and tribulations.

Dongfang Bubai's movements were still as powerful, but the embroidery needle in his hand was no longer as sharp as before.

This is because the needle tip of the embroidery needle was slowly worn out by the multiple palm force recoils.

After seeing Dongfang Bubai's attacking movements clearly, Lu Ping's eyes moved.

Dongfang Bubai's speed is not as fast as before? Is it because he has consumed too much internal energy? Or is he deliberately revealing a flaw? Should he continue to defend or take the opportunity to counterattack?

Among all the people he had fought against, Dongfang Bubai was undoubtedly the one with the strongest overall strength.

Perhaps in terms of destructive power, he is slightly inferior to Yagyu Kiss, but in terms of explosiveness, body movements, internal strength, adaptability, and even combat mentality, he is much better.

The body moves faster than the mind.

Before Lu Ping could make a decision, his hands had already subconsciously diverted Dongfang Bubai's attack.

The attack failed again, and Dongfang Bubai's face turned cold.

From the beginning until now, he only felt that his attacks were like hitting cotton and hitting a quagmire. The fierce and fast force was dissipated without getting any feedback, and he felt indescribably frustrated in his heart.

Even though he was quite accomplished in martial arts, and understood that this was the nature of Tai Chi, and after using "embroidery" to cultivate his body and mind, he also had the mentality of a master, but the nameless anger in his heart could not be extinguished by "clear mind".

In fact, Lu Ping's movements were not slow, and he was even faster than Dongfang Bubai. Because no matter how Dongfang Bubai attacked, he could keep up and then neutralize the opponent's attack in the first place.

It's just that in this close combat, he didn't "fight speed with speed and break force with force", so Dongfang Bubai, who was fighting against him, felt "slow".

When both of them had reached about 800 moves, Lu Ping finally turned from defense to offense.

Dongfang Bubai's expression changed when he saw this. He was a little surprised, and also a little secretly happy.

He knew in his heart that his patience had almost reached its limit. If Lu Ping continued to waste time like this, he would definitely reveal his flaws.

By then, if one move fails, the whole game will be lost.

But now Lu Ping took the initiative to turn defense into offense, no matter it was because he also couldn't stand the consumption of internal energy, or he was anxious to defeat himself in one fell swoop, since there was a change, that was his chance!
After making up his mind, Dongfang Bubai regrouped.

A burst of embroidery needles, like extended arms or divine weapons with only sword blades, began to attack Lu Ping, making the final sprint of the battle.

"The Invincible East is going to lose."

In the crowd, the man hiding the mirror quietly made a prediction.

Tie Xinlan asked curiously, "How did you know that, Senior? Isn't his move stronger than before?"

"He is stronger, for sure. But he is like a cornered prey making a final counterattack. Once this momentum wears off, he will surely be defeated."

Xiao Yuer, who was born in the Valley of Evil, understands the survival instinct of prey too well.

"Although I can see that Dongfang Bubai is going to lose, I don't understand why he is doing this? Weren't the two of them evenly matched before? Why is he going to counterattack?"

Hua Wu Que guessed: "Maybe it's because he thinks he has a better chance of winning this way?"

Zang Jingren nodded and explained, "The speed and strength of the two of them are comparable, but that kid can absorb the power of wind and cloud for his own use, and his internal energy consumption is lower."

"It's not impossible for the two of them to fight if they continue to fight, but if they do that, Dongfang Bubai will probably collapse by dawn, and Lu Ping will still have at least 40% of his internal strength left by then."

Hua Wuque understood what he heard. This was just like other martial arts masters facing their masters who had mastered the ninth level of Mingyu Gong.

"I see. Rather than dragging the battle into a losing situation, why not give it a try while we still have the strength left? Isn't that right?"

No response is tantamount to default.

Xiao Yuer frowned in confusion: "It's just that I heard that Dongfang Bubai is also a rare genius of that generation and has a lot of experience in fighting enemies. Isn't it a bit hasty to give it a try now?"

"This is also part of that kid's calculation."

"How to say?"

Zang Jingren said, "That guy just pretended to be anxious, and switched his fighting style from defense to offense, and even deliberately exposed his flaws, just to attract Dongfang Bubai to make the final sprint."

Xiao Yu'er was even more puzzled: "It's such an obvious trap, even Dongfang Bubai, who is so experienced, would fall for it?"

"It's not about being fooled, it's about the dignity of a warrior."

"After all, fighting to this extent with a junior who is nearly thirty years younger than him, no matter whether he wins or loses in the end, he won't be able to gain an advantage."

Indeed, the dignified leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, a man in his sixties, fought like this with a teenager who had been in the industry for less than half a year and was only in his teens. Even if he won in the end, he would not have a good reputation.

"I just said that if nothing unexpected happens and this battle drags on to the end, Dongfang Bubai will almost certainly lose. This may be hidden from others, but it cannot be hidden from masters of the same level."

"Faced with a losing situation, if you still choose to fight to the last minute, you will only lose face in the martial arts world. Considering that this battle is also said to 'sever the grudge between Lu Ping and the Sun Moon Sect', it may cause people to look down on the entire Sun Moon Sect."

"Instead of doing that, it would be better to use my strongest strength now, fight him thoroughly, and then admit defeat cleanly. This would save face for both sides."

Not only Cang Jingren, but also other martial arts masters who were watching the fight and had a little vision, such as Old Man Sun, Chu Liuxiang and others, could see what was going to happen next.

Dongfang Bubai added 70% of his speed and strength, but he was still no match for Lu Ping who became stronger as he met stronger opponents.

After a fierce attack like a storm, Dongfang Bubai began to lose his courage. His attacks were no longer as fast and fierce as before, and he also revealed several flaws.

Ordinary people cannot detect these flaws, but Lu Ping, who was in close combat with him, could see them clearly.

Finally, Lu Ping seized the opportunity and slapped Dongfang Bubai in the face with his palm.

At this time, Dongfang Bubai was about to attack, but he did not notice his own flaw, and the embroidery needle in his hand was finally knocked down.

Seeing the palm wind coming, he had to quickly change his moves, bending down, withdrawing his palm, spinning around, and then concentrating his strength to attack again. However, Lu Ping was well prepared this time, and his full palm force was already waiting there.

Bang-!
Hit each other with both palms!

Dongfang Bubai failed to condense his energy in time, so he was unable to use his full strength in this palm strike. He was immediately hit by Lu Ping's palm force and vomited blood. He flew backwards and retreated dozens of meters before he was able to stabilize his body.

The two men finally stood still again, and everything was the same as before the duel began, except that their positions had changed.

Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Lu Ping spoke slowly.

"Senior, I accept it."
