Laughing at the Heavens: From Flying Knife Skills to Shattering the Void

Chapter 174 First Battle with Ren Woxing

"Master, don't listen to their nonsense. Master is now in his prime, why should he abdicate? I will find an opportunity to make it public and explain it clearly to everyone in the world."

Lin Pingan said solemnly.

Yue Buqun narrowed his eyes slightly, then raised his eyelids and said calmly: "No need to do that, rumors stop at the wise, and explanations seem to be covering up something, which is more likely to cause misunderstandings and speculations."

Yue Buqun glanced at Lin Ping'an and said meaningfully.

Nowadays, rumors are spreading like wildfire, which makes people suspicious.

Even if Lin Ping'an had no intention, it was hard not to be tempted in such a hustle and bustle.

He didn't even fully trust Linghu Chong, whom he raised since childhood, so how could he trust Lin Ping'an, who had only been in the business for a few months.

Especially since he had previous experience.

Lao Denuo, who had been his disciple for nearly ten years, turned out to be Zuo Lengchan's disciple and a spy planted in Huashan by Zuo Lengchan.

What about Lin Pingan?
Especially Lin Pingan has such strength.

As long as the other party is willing, you can replace him at any time.

Therefore, even though Lin Ping'an was still behaving respectfully and courteously towards him, Yue Buqun did not dare to relax his vigilance in the slightest.

Instead, they are more vigilant.

With such strength, he can still behave so humble and low-key. Such scheming not only makes people feel uneasy, but also makes them more frightened.

Therefore, Yue Buqun has always been extremely wary of Lin Ping'an.

He couldn't see Lin Ping'an's true thoughts and intentions.

This unknown makes it hard to feel at ease.

"Disciple understands."

Lin Ping'an looked calm and nodded seriously.

"Junior sister, I need to go into seclusion to heal my wounds tonight."

Yue Buqun suddenly raised his head and said to Ning Zhongze.

Ning Zhongze was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Yue Buqun meant and nodded, "Brother, don't worry, I won't disturb you, just practice with peace of mind."

She knew that this was Yue Buqun telling her that he wanted to practice alone and would not sleep with her.

Ning Zhongze also knew the reason.

It was obvious that Yue Buqun was worried that she would discover the secret of his castration.

Although there are such rumors in the world now, they have not been confirmed. As long as they are not confirmed, they can be regarded as rumors.

Therefore, once she sleeps with you, it will be easy to discover the secret.

In Ningzhong, Xixia was resentful.

But at the same time, I felt inexplicably relieved.

Because now she also has secrets.

Ning Zhongze's hand gently fell on his lower abdomen, with a complicated expression.

late at night.

Lin Ping'an received a letter from the sky. After reading the content, his eyes narrowed.

"Let me do what I want."

Lin Pingan showed a trace of contemplation, "Can't you sit still so soon?"

After all, Ren Woxing has been imprisoned for more than ten years, and his physical functions, internal strength, and even mental will are all on the verge of limits. He should need a long period of rest and adjustment to recover his condition.

Now, less than a month has passed, and he is already impatient to travel the world. Although he has not directly exposed his identity, it also represents Ren Woxing's impatience.

Lin Ping'an exhaled his internal energy, and the paper in his hand turned into pieces in an instant. As night fell, Lin Ping'an left the inn quietly.

Soon after.

In the grove.

Lin Ping'an saw Ren Woxing standing with his back to him.

"Senior Ren, you are so honored to be here. I am sorry for not coming in person to welcome you."

Lin Pingan smiled and bowed, while continuing: "Congratulations to the senior for recovering his cultivation and making further progress."

After hearing Lin Ping'an's voice, Ren Woxing slowly turned around and squinted his eyes to look at Lin Ping'an. "Although you have made further progress, I feel that your aura has become much more powerful."

Ren Woxing said quietly, feeling doubtful.

Compared to the last time, he felt Lin Ping'an's aura was stronger.

There are some subtle changes, but even Ren Woxing can hardly tell.

After all, his strength had not recovered from the last time, and maybe he was just too weak at the time, so his feeling was not accurate.

This is how the misunderstanding arises.

"Senior, you are joking. It is just an illusion that your five senses have become sharper as your power has recovered."

Lin Pingan explained with a smile.

"Is that true?"

Ren Woxing looked at him with scrutiny.

After such a long time, he had naturally analyzed Lin Pingan comprehensively and knew his talent and training speed.

Therefore, I remain skeptical about Lin Pingan's humility.

"I wonder what the senior wants me to do here so late at night?"

Lin Pingan casually changed the subject and asked.

After hearing Lin Ping'an's words, Ren Woxing turned around and chuckled, "Why, can't you come and see my future son-in-law if you have nothing to do?"

"Or do you think that I, your father-in-law, am not good enough?"

Ren Woxing looked at Lin Pingan with a playful look, his eyes fixed on him, as if he wanted to see something.

"Haha, you are joking, senior. Everyone knows your name."

Lin Pingan chuckled and laughed.

"Boy, I came to you this time to tell you that Zuo Lengchan has surrendered to me, but he has made a request!"

Ren Woxing looked at Lin Pingan meaningfully and said.

"Oh? Zuo Lengchan was actually subdued by the senior?"

Lin Pingan was surprised. "He is the head of Songshan Sect, the leader of the Five Mountains, and a proud man. I didn't expect that he would be subdued by you. You are truly invincible. It's not long before you regain the position of leader!"

Lin Pingan immediately congratulated him.

“Hahaha… I will naturally strive to become the leader, but don’t you want to know why Zuo Lengchan submitted to me?”

After laughing for a while, Ren Woxing suddenly stared at Lin Pingan and asked.

"what?"

Lin Pingan was stunned, and then his mind moved, "Could it be related to the younger generation?"

"You are indeed smart."

Ren Woxing stroked his beard with a playful look on his face, "He wants me to kill you! Lin Pingan, do you think I agreed to his request?"

"The senior has the answer himself, so why should the junior guess?"

Lin Ping'an looked calm and composed, as if he didn't care at all.

"Good boy, you are calm indeed. It seems that you have absolute confidence in your own strength."

Ren Woxing's eyes flickered, with an unclear meaning.

"The junior just believes in the senior."

Lin Pingan smiled slightly, still humble.

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

Hearing this, Ren Woxing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Laughing so hard that I was out of breath.

"Boy, you are really extraordinary. No wonder Yingying likes you so much!"

Ren Woxing spoke with emotion.

After all, whatever Lin Ping'an said, he was extremely sincere, and people couldn't help but believe it. Even if they knew that the other party was lying, they still benefited from it.

But before Lin Pingan could speak, Ren Woxing suddenly said, "I have agreed to Zuo Lengchan's request to kill you for him?"

"us?"

Lin Ping'an raised his eyebrows, as if he was not surprised by Ren Woxing's choice.

"Yes, you and Yue Buqun are both his targets. After all, it is because of you that Zuo Lengchan has fallen to his current state."

Ren Woxing said quietly.

"Haha, that's right, it should be so."

Lin Pingan nodded suddenly, "It's reasonable for him to make such a choice."

"Boy, don't you want to know why I agreed? Aren't you worried that I'll kill you?"

Ren Woxing couldn't help but ask.

Lin Ping'an's performance was too calm, and his focus was different from that of ordinary people. This made Ren Woxing feel like he had punched cotton, with no sense of force.

"Senior, of course, has his own considerations. No matter what, Zuo Lengchan is one of the best masters in the world. If we can subdue him, then we can increase our chances of winning against Dongfang Bubai."

Lin Pingan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You really do understand me, but are you really not afraid that I will kill you?"

Ren Woxing's eyes were slightly cold and his words were indifferent.

Faced with the solemn and grim atmosphere, Lin Pingan remained calm and composed.

"I believe senior won't."

Lin Pingan said with a smile.

After all, he has mastered the Zixia magic skill to perfection, and it is impossible for Ren Woxing to kill him.

Although Yue Buqun also mastered the Zixia magic skill, he was still unable to compete with masters like Zuo Lengchan and Ren Woxing in terms of internal strength.

But Lin Ping'an has already mastered the Hunyuan Gong, and his proficiency in the Zixia Divine Art has even surpassed that of Yue Buqun, who has practiced for thirty years.

The most important thing is the flying knife.

Although his flying knife has not been upgraded during this period, but now with the perfection of Zixia magic skill, the power of the flying knife is more than twice as strong as before.

This is Lin Pingan’s real confidence.

The combination of the pinnacle of flying knife skills and the internal force of the great Zixia magic skill is more than just one plus one equals two.

Not to mention Ren Woxing, even if Dongfang Bubai was in person, Lin Pingan would not be afraid at all.

His body movements may not be as fast as Dongfang Bubai's, but the speed of his sword drawing and flying knife will definitely not be slower than Dongfang Bubai's body movements.

Therefore, Dongfang Bubai would also be under great threat from his sword.

And this is his confidence.

Therefore, no matter what Ren Woxing thinks or does, Lin Pingan doesn't care.

It doesn’t matter even if Ren Woxing wants to kill him.

Strong enough to face any danger.

"Boy, you are really confident. I didn't misjudge you. But have you thought about what I told you last time?"

Ren Woxing suddenly changed the subject, "Since ancient times, good and evil cannot coexist. If you want to be my son-in-law, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect your identity as Huashan."

"You can either leave Huashan now, be my son-in-law and marry Yingying. I will personally officiate at your wedding. Otherwise, we can only go our separate ways!"

Ren Woxing spoke firmly.

Then he added: "Although you have a promising future in Huashan, and you may have the opportunity to become the head of Huashan and the leader of the Five Mountains, but that is all in the future. As long as you give up this identity, you will be the deputy leader of my Divine Religion and the future leader of the Sun and Moon Divine Religion."

"The power of my Divine Religion is not comparable to your Huashan or even the Five Mountains Sword Sect."

Ren Woxing raised his head slightly, stroked his beard, and said confidently.

Lin Ping'an might indeed have amazing strength and a bright future, but at most he would only succeed Zuo Lengchan and become the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance.

But how can the leader of the Five Mountains compare with the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect!
The Sun and Moon Sect single-handedly overwhelmed the entire righteous path, including Shaolin and Wudang.

The combined strength of the Five Mountains Sword Sect is only second to Shaolin and Wudang.

What's more, Lin Ping'an is not the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance yet, and he has Yue Buqun as his master above him.

The righteous path emphasizes benevolence, righteousness, propriety and law. If Yue Buqun does not abdicate, Lin Ping'an will not have the opportunity to take the throne, unless Yue Buqun dies at some point.

"Thank you, senior. Since I have joined Huashan, how can I betray the sect? If I do this, since I can betray Huashan and Master Yue Buqun, I can also betray Senior Ren. I'm afraid Senior Ren won't trust me, right?"

Lin Pingan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ren Woxing narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment he laughed, "Good boy, what you said makes some sense. If you really betray Guihuashan and Yue Buqun so easily, then I will indeed be worried."

"But our relationship is different after all. You are my son-in-law, so I will naturally trust you more and will not blame you."

Ren Woxing continued to persuade.

If someone with such talent and strength as Lin Pingan cannot be completely brought to one's side, it will only make people feel uneasy.

In that case, even if he regained the position of leader of the Sun Moon Sect and defeated Dongfang Bubai, he would not be able to sit still in peace.

Because such masters cannot appear in the righteous camp.

Otherwise, it would endanger his position and the Sun Moon Sect.

Only when Lin Ping'an becomes one of his own, a member of the Divine Religion, can he feel at ease.

"Unfortunately, everyone has their own aspirations. I can only thank you for your kindness."

Lin Pingan sighed and refused.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't let Yingying marry you?"

Ren Woxing suppressed his anger, glared and questioned.

"Whether Yingying marries me or not is her own choice. As long as she is willing, no one can stop me."

Lin Pingan said calmly.

"Are you so confident? Is there really no one who can stop you?"

This made Ren Woxing even angrier. "I am her father. This is her parents' decision and the matchmaker's words. If I don't agree, you can't get married."

"I believe in Yingying."

Facing Ren Woxing's rage, Lin Pingan remained calm.

"Good boy, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Ren Woxing clenched his fists secretly, and the atmosphere between the two sides became cold and solemn.

Lin Pingan calmly raised his head, looked at Ren Woxing, and chuckled, "If you really meant this, you should have taken action long ago, but I will definitely fight back."

Lin Pingan said calmly.

Although these words were plain, they made the atmosphere between the two sides even more tense.

How could Ren Woxing not understand the meaning of his words?

"You want to fight me? Do you really think you are that strong?"

Ren Woxing narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in them.

At this moment, he really wanted to kill.

Because Lin Ping'an's threat was too strong, at this moment, it felt to him far stronger than the threat posed by Dongfang Bubai at the beginning.

If he lets it go, even if he becomes the leader of the Sun Moon Sect again in the future, he will probably never be as powerful as before.

"Wouldn't you know if you try it?"

Lin Ping'an slowly grasped the hilt of the sword.

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became extremely solemn, as if it had frozen.

The next moment, Ren Woxing suddenly jumped up, "Okay, I've been hearing about you for a while, today I'm going to show you your unique flying knife skills!"

“I want to see what kind of flying knife skills it is that make everyone in the martial arts world feel insecure.”

Ren Woxing shouted loudly and directly mobilized his powerful internal force to suppress it.

Not holding anything back.
