From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 33 The Extraordinary Man Lin Xunfeng

In front of the Qingxiao Sect's mountain gate, a man and a woman stood side by side, both of them appearing to be quite young.

The man was handsome and dashing, dressed in a fitted blue robe, his long hair tied up high, holding a long spear, exuding the spirit of a young general.

The woman had a beautiful face, wore a green dress, and was gentle and kind. She carried a bundle on her back and looked at the man in blue next to her with tenderness in her eyes.

The man in blue was none other than Li Yang, the martial arts champion, while the woman in green was his cousin, Zhao Linglong.

“Cousin, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to shout like this when you first arrive? The big sects are fine, they have their own pride, but Qingxiao Sect has lost Lin Xunfeng, and the remaining disciples are all too young. They might be intimidated by your name and dare not accept the challenge.”

Zhao Linglong spoke, her voice soft and melodious.

Li Yang said nonchalantly, "Martial artists are bound to be competitive. If I speak like this, then if there is a man in the Qingxiao Sect, he will not avoid a fight. Besides, I am just sparring, not deciding life or death."

His right hand twitched slightly, and the silver spear in his hand gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

As the two were talking, they saw a large group of people coming from around the bend in the mountain road. Upon seeing this, Li Yang's lips curled up, and his handsome face revealed excitement.

Yang Jueding led the way, stopping in front of the mountain gate and looking Li Yang up and down.

"Your surname is Li, and you are a martial arts champion. Which Li family do you come from?" Yang Jueding asked.

The Great Li Dynasty values ​​martial arts. To become the top martial arts champion, one needs not only exceptional talent but also a significant investment of resources. No martial arts champion has ever come from a poor family.

Li Yang raised his head and replied, "The Li family of Linchuan."

Yang Jueding suddenly realized and said, "So you're a descendant of the Minister of War. If we make you cry, I wonder if you'll call your parents?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang's smile vanished, his eyes turned cold, and he said, "I have been fighting my way south from Linchuan, challenging eleven sects, and none of them have ever made me cry. If you can defeat me, I will not only not pursue the matter, but I will even reward you and help you repair this dilapidated mountain gate."

"Alright, you said it! Man'er, you go!"

Yang Jueding readily agreed and then moved to the side.

Upon hearing this, Wu Man'er immediately walked forward.

As soon as he stepped forward, Zhao Linglong couldn't help but frown.

Li Yang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Big guy, would you like to join me in the army and achieve great feats that will be admired by thousands?"

Wu Man'er scratched her head and said, "I won't join the army. I want to follow my senior brother forever."

Li Yang smiled and said, "Then let's have a match first!"

Wu Man'er nodded and continued walking towards Li Yang.

Seeing Wu Man'er's unbridled behavior, Li Yang's eyes flashed with displeasure. He was too lazy to waste any more words. He took a step forward and strode in front of Wu Man'er, his silver spear sweeping across the air and striking Wu Man'er's waist.

Snapped!
Wu Man'er raised her hand and grabbed his silver spear, causing his expression to change slightly. Before he could think further, a tremendous force struck, causing him to lose his balance and fall forward.

When Li Yang saw Wu Man'er raise her other hand, he immediately let go, leaped backward like a sparrow, and landed behind Zhao Linglong, almost falling off the steps.

After regaining his balance, Li Yang looked at Wu Man'er in fear. Wu Man'er's strength far exceeded his expectations; he had never encountered anyone with such great strength before.

"What's your name?" Li Yang asked in a deep voice, no longer daring to be careless.

Wu Man'er replied with a simple smile, "My name is Wu Man'er."

"Surname Wu? Could it be..."

Li Yang seemed to realize something, and his expression changed slightly. He was about to speak when he saw Wu Man'er throw his silver spear at him.

He raised his hand to catch the gun, only to feel a sharp pain in the web of his hand.

This monstrous strength made him even more certain of his suspicions.

At this moment, Wu Man'er suddenly spread his legs, squatted down slightly, and put his right palm at his waist. Wisps of visible energy surrounded his body, and his expression changed accordingly, becoming completely different from before.

Li Yang sensed the change in his aura but was not afraid. Instead, he held his guns in both hands, ready to face him head-on.

Below the steps, the disciples in the new courtyard were also watching the battle. They were all very surprised to see Wu Man'er looking up at her. It was the first time they had ever seen Wu Man'er with such an expression.

Li Yang roared and leaped into the air, reaching a height of several meters. With the blazing sun behind him, his inner energy swirled around his body and silver spear, like a cold ray of light descending from the sky, causing the disciples behind Wu Man'er to blink involuntarily.

Almost instantly, Wu Man'er struck out with a palm.

Nine Heavens Divine Palm!

The disciples felt a deafening explosion in their ears, as if tigers and leopards were roaring. A powerful force rushed towards them, forcing them to instinctively retreat.

Cheng Canghai squinted and saw Li Yang being blasted away by Wu Man'er's palm.

Li Yang was covered in blood and flew out like a kite with a broken string, quickly crashing into a house in the new courtyard, collapsing the eaves, raising dust, and startling the nearby disciples.

The battle will be decided in a single move!
Even though they were all from the Qingxiao Sect, the disciples were still frightened by Wu Man'er's strength, including Yang Jueding.

Yang Jueding was filled with lingering fear and suddenly felt grateful to Li Qingqiu. If Li Qingqiu hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the idiot's Nine Heavens Divine Palm. Getting injured would have been a minor matter; losing face would have been a major one.

"cousin!"

Zhao Linglong cried out in a mournful voice. She immediately lifted her skirt and quickly walked down the steps. Wu Man'er withdrew his palm, channeling the force into his body and withdrawing his energy, causing his robes to billow violently. His back view gave the disciples a sense of invincible grandmaster aura.

"Is this a superior martial art? It's unbelievable."

Standing behind his disciples, Zhang Yu watched this scene with amazement. He also felt a strong urge to learn martial arts, but he quickly suppressed it.

Wu Man'er looked down at the billowing dust below, his cold expression melting like an iceberg. He turned to Yang Jueding and asked cautiously, "Did I go too far?"

Yang Jueding snapped out of his daze, his heart skipped a beat. If the martial arts champion died here, then there would be trouble!

He hurriedly ran down the mountain, while the other disciples surrounded Wu Man'er, marveling at his strength.

at the same time.

Inside the courtyard, Li Dongyue could hear the disciples' discussions. She looked worried and said, "Senior brother, Man'er is too naive and doesn't know his own strength. We can't let him make a move so easily in the future."

Li Qingqiu nodded, but he wasn't too worried. He could hear Li Yang's breathing, which was rapid, but at least she was still alive.

"Go and save them."

Li Qingqiu spoke up, and Li Dongyue quickly got up, handed Yuanli to him, and then walked out of the courtyard.

……

Li Yang had a dream in which he was fighting on the battlefield, charging in and out seven times, unstoppable by anyone. Suddenly, a giant appeared in front of him and swung his palm at him, and he was powerless to resist.

Just as he was about to be beaten to death, he suddenly woke up.

He opened his eyes, gasping for breath, and instinctively tried to get up, but the excruciating pain tearing through his body made him gasp and unable to sit up.

"Cousin! You're awake!"

Zhao Linglong's surprised voice came from the side. Li Yang glanced over and saw Zhao Linglong sitting on the edge of the bed, with the setting sun hanging in the window behind her.

It was almost dusk.

Li Yang gritted her teeth and asked, "Where is this?"

“A young lady named Li Dongyue treated you with acupuncture inside Qingxiao Sect,” Zhao Linglong replied, clearly relieved to see Li Yang wake up.

She said resentfully, "Cousin, you can't be so careless in the future. It's only because the Qingxiao Sect is kind that they would punish you. If it were another sect, they might not be willing to punish you."

Li Yang was injured, but she did not hold a grudge against Qingxiao Sect. Instead, she was grateful to Li Dongyue for her help.

Li Yang smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I was careless, it's that that guy is too terrifying, he's practically inhuman. It's rumored that the Wu family of Lishan has been researching military weapons for a hundred years, and they made newborn babies endure being soaked in extremely yang and intense body-tempering drugs. It seems they have succeeded."

"The Wu family of Lishan? Weren't they all slaughtered thirteen years ago? How can you be sure that Wu Man'er is a descendant of the Wu family?" Zhao Linglong asked, puzzled.

Li Yang grimaced, feeling like his body was about to fall apart. He forced a smile and said, "Because of Lin Xunfeng. My father once said that Lin Xunfeng likes to meddle in other people's business. He has a certain relationship with the Wu family of Lishan. When he heard that the Wu family of Lishan had been slaughtered, Lin Xunfeng went there in person. Perhaps he found Wu Man'er somewhere."

Zhao Linglong suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Lin Xunfeng is truly an extraordinary person. It is said that when he first entered the martial arts world, he met His Majesty the Emperor, who was on a private visit to the common people, and was highly appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor. If he had just agreed, he could have risen to prominence. Unfortunately, his ambition lies in the martial arts world."

“He is indeed an extraordinary person. Speaking of which, my Li family has a connection with him…”

Li Yang seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became complicated.

"What's the connection?" Zhao Linglong asked curiously.

Li Yang shook her head slightly, but refused to speak.

Just then, a voice came: "Hey, are you really the martial arts champion? Do martial arts champions need to study?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang and Xu Ning turned their heads and saw two girls looking at them from outside the window. They were Li Sijin and Xu Ning. Li Sijin was the one who spoke, and she was curiously looking at Li Yang.

Li Yang forced a smile and replied, "Of course, the martial arts champion also needs to take a written exam, but it's not as difficult as the civil service champion. I've been studying since I was a child, and I'm not as carefree as you guys who can play on the mountain."

On his way up the mountain today, he ran into Li Sijin and her companion and asked them for directions.

Li Sijin pressed on, "Brother Zhuangyuan, how good is your martial arts in the martial arts world?"

Li Yang replied, "I have easily defeated many top-tier masters, but I am still far from reaching the pinnacle."

"Does that mean my fifth senior brother is a top-tier expert?" Li Sijin asked in surprise.

Li Yang nodded slightly and asked curiously, "How old is your fifth senior brother this year?"

He recalled Wu Man'er's voice, still carrying a childish tone.

"Just turned fifteen," Li Sijin blinked and replied.

Li Yang's lips twitched, and Zhao Linglong's beautiful eyes widened, her small mouth opening unconsciously as well.

Li Sijin may seem naive, but she is secretly pleased with herself.

Seeing that she was pretending again, Xu Ning turned her head slightly, unwilling to look directly at her.

Lying on the bed, Li Yang closed his eyes and lamented, "I have disgraced the title of Martial Arts Champion."
