Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

The contest with Li Shuwen was far beyond what those Tianjin martial artists could compare to.

The gap between the two is like the gap between an adult and a child. Although Li Shuwen has not yet transcended the realm of humanity, he has grown to a certain limit in martial arts.

Ao Peng's tiger's mouth was pressed against the spear tip. His strength and Li Shuwen's strength intertwined and intertwined, pressing the spear shaft down to nearly a forty-five-degree angle. Logically, the spear tip should have been deflected long ago.

But the spear tip remained motionless, pressing on Ao Peng's tiger's mouth acupoint as if a nail had been driven in!

This was already an incredible skill, but after Li Shuwen closed in, his palm unexpectedly stepped forward and transformed into a long sword, intending to use the force of fixing the tiger's mouth to knock the tiger-head sword from Ao Peng's hand.

Ao Peng had indeed reached a state of indestructibility.

But the moment they clashed, Li Shuwen realized that Ao Peng hadn't really practiced martial arts. Whether it was practical experience or how to deal with changes, his Yin-Yang dynamics and indestructible body seemed more like the result of some kind of magic.

However, this spell only works on Ao Peng himself, and Ao Peng's control over the knife is almost non-existent in Li Shuwen's eyes!

Just when Li Shuwen thought he could easily take the long knife from Ao Peng's hand, a cold light suddenly pierced straight through and struck his palm, as easily as swatting a fly!

Ao Peng used his left hand as a short spear, with his fingertips as spearheads, and with the same move, he pointed at Li Shuwen's tiger's mouth, using the supernatural power of Minor Karma!

In that instant, it was as if Li Shuwen was no longer seeing Ao Peng, but another version of himself.

I have been pursuing martial arts for fifty years since I was twelve!

In that instant, a realization dawned on Li Shuwen. He had never been defeated in his life, but he had never been able to defeat himself either. This time, he was going to defeat himself!

Veins bulged on Li Shuwen's neck, their bluish-purple color like an old tree in spring, continuously sending power throughout his body. The blood and qi he had stolen through the method of cutting off the meridians were all transformed into a furnace, which he threw into his body to burn, thus breaking all the restrictions on his body!

The entire skeleton, from the spine to the lumbar vertebrae, made a slight clicking sound, like a sophisticated machine being unlocked piece by piece.

The purple hue on Li Shuwen's face intensified, radiating a brilliant purple glow.

In an instant, Li Shuwen's strength and speed nearly doubled. He used his palm as a pair of scissors, clamping Ao Peng's fingertips with a hair's breadth.

The struggle between the two was like two fierce tigers fighting.

The first to be unable to bear it was not the two of them, but rather the spear whose force was clashing with theirs.

The nine-foot-long ash pole bent further, and then suddenly, like a firecracker, the wood fibers exploded and tore apart.

The moment the spear shattered, Ao Peng's right hand was freed. He continued to exert force with his hand holding the knife, and although the spear tip still wanted to be driven into the space between his thumb and forefinger, it broke apart with a series of crisp sounds.

The long sword swept horizontally, the wind from the blade whistling through the air, aiming straight for Li Shuwen's head.

But in that instant, Li Shuwen suddenly opened his mouth, bit his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of hot blood. This mouthful of hot blood shot straight into Ao Peng's eyes like an arrow!

You have absolutely no sense of martial ethics!

With his eyes bloodshot, Ao Peng couldn't see Li Shuwen at all. At this moment, he couldn't care less about leaving any backup plans, because if he did, he might really be beaten to death here by Li Shuwen today.

The instant Ao Peng lost his sight, a deep darkness spread out from him, completely enveloping the two of them, causing Li Shuwen to also lose his sight in an instant!

In complete silence, Li Shuwen, almost divinely aware, ducked and dodged. His already small stature allowed him to narrowly avoid Ao Peng's blade.

He released the gun barrel with his right hand, gathered all his energy and spirit, and used his fingertips as the gun tip to strike Ao Peng's Qihai acupoint on his chest!

This time, the spear tip broke through Ao Peng's Yin-Yang intertwined protection, transforming from solid to ethereal, into a dazzling silver spear tip, which fell into the inner landscape of his heart!

The instant Ao Peng's Qi Hai acupoint was struck, he also activated his minor supernatural power, pointing a finger at Li Shuwen.

In an instant, the darkness dissipated, and the moonlight shone again. The two struck each other's Qihai acupoints. Ao Peng was the first to stop, wiping the blood from Li Shuwen's eyes. "You old man are really lacking in martial ethics."

Li Shuwen opened his mouth and laughed loudly, but blood kept gushing out of his mouth.

Ao Peng looked at Li Shuwen with a complicated expression, "You held back at the end."

Before the fight began, Li Shuwen said that he never held back in his life, because those who held back were all dead.

In his final desperate strike, Li Shuwen did indeed break through his defenses. He burned the energy and spirit he had accumulated over decades, transcending the limitations of this era and entering a realm of divine will. He was even able to directly strike Ao Peng's inner world.

Being able to immobilize Ao Peng's inner world means that Li Shuwen can damage Ao Peng's spirit!

However, the moment the spear's edge struck the inner realm, this extremely fierce spear force transformed into a gentle spring breeze and drizzle at the last moment—a change of yin and yang on a spiritual level!

This is to show Ao Peng the realm beyond the Transformation Realm!

From the very beginning, the fiercer Li Shuwen fought, the less he actually intended to kill Ao Peng. What he was actually killing was the past version of himself who couldn't break through to the Transformation Realm!

Li Shuwen first looked at the finger Ao Peng pointed at his chest, feeling the same spiritual change penetrating his body. At this moment, he regained his senses, sat cross-legged, full of energy, and laughed triumphantly, "I am sixty-two years old. I have enjoyed wealth and honor, and I have enjoyed a house full of children and grandchildren. In my old age, I can still glimpse the level above the Transformation Realm. This damned Heaven has really been kind to me."

"My path has come to an end, but the martial arts cannot be severed by my hand. Therefore, this coffin is for me alone. It is not yet time for you to enjoy this blessing!"

From the moment Li Shuwen saw Ao Peng, he knew that Ao Peng was the person he had been waiting for.

He practiced the method of cutting off the meridians, blocking the flow of qi and blood throughout his body, with the aim of touching that elusive divine will. Unfortunately, such a state could only be attained by dying ten times over.

He couldn't make up his mind because he didn't know if the knowledge he had gained could be passed down.

Ao Peng's appearance helped him make this decision; he held back, leaving his martial arts to the new era!

After saying that he would enjoy his happiness alone, Li Shuwen exhausted his last bit of energy and his eyes became cloudy. However, the purple tinge on his face did not dissipate, but instead remained on his face, like a statue in a temple that had been blessed by incense.

Ao Peng knelt solemnly before Li Shuwen, kowtowed, and said, "Greetings, Master Li. Thank you for your guidance today."

This is a teacher who provides guidance.
