Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"hiss……"

After Suzuki Seimei's analysis, everyone present couldn't help but gasp, and their gazes towards the Songshan Sect disciples became strange.

That's so insidious! That's such a wicked trick!

Just now, everyone thought Zuo Lengchan was fair, but upon closer inspection, it was terrifying to realize that he clearly never intended to let Liu Zhengfeng go from the very beginning.

They've tried to be a facade but also want to have a virtuous image!

ψ(｀?′)ψ

Facing the strange looks from the crowd, Fei Bin couldn't help but shout angrily, "You brat, how dare you slander the reputation of Alliance Leader Zuo! Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!"

Although what Suzuki Harumi said was true, such words should never be said in front of outsiders.

It's like they're rubbing the face of the Songshan Sect into the ground!

As soon as Fei Bin finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, turning into a blur, and raised his calloused hand to slap Suzuki Seimei's head.

It was obvious that Suzuki Seimei's words had hit Fei Bin where it hurt, and he was now preparing to kill him to silence him and make an example of him!

Just as Suzuki Seimei was about to be killed by Fei Bin, a hand as big as a fan shot out with lightning speed, grabbed Fei Bin's head, and slammed him to the ground like a slam dunk.

"boom!!!"

With a dull thud that made one's head ache, Fei Bin's head slammed into the stone floor of the hall, creating a crater more than two feet in diameter.

Even though Fei Bin possessed profound internal strength, such a blow to the head made him look like he was about to die on the spot.

He was completely unconscious due to severe injuries, but his body was still twitching slightly.

After Li Maozhen instantly killed Fei Bin, he swept his heterochromatic eyes over the stunned crowd and said coldly, "My nephew is none of your Songshan Sect's business to teach him a lesson!"

"Ding! Congratulations to Fei Bin for successfully signing in. You are rewarded with a complete set of the Great Songyang Divine Palm. You can claim it at any time."

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Suzuki Seimei narrowed his eyes, turning them into cute crescent moons.

"Junior Brother Fei!"

"You bastard, die!"

Upon seeing this, Ding Mian and Lu Bai simultaneously roared, transforming into two afterimages as they drew their swords and unleashed the "Songshan Sword Technique" to attack Li Maozhen together.

The Songshan Sword Technique comprises seventeen forms, exuding a majestic and imposing aura, resembling long spears and halberds, traversing thousands of miles with immense power and influence. It is the strongest sword technique among the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Schools.

Chapter 436 The Legendary Three-Foot Qi Wall

"Whoosh!!!"

Suzuki Seimei's lips curled slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and a faint white light emanated from the [Guardian Necklace] he wore around his neck.

The Guardian Necklace is an item that Suzuki Seimei obtained from Suzuki Tomoko. In addition to increasing the wearer's Spirit by 5 points, it can also actively consume 10 points of Spirit to summon a transparent protective shield with a diameter of two meters.

Although the transparent shield only lasts for three minutes, its defensive capabilities are extremely strong.

Unless heavy weapons such as rocket launchers are used, it would be difficult to penetrate this transparent protective shield even with a sniper rifle.

The reason why Suzuki Haruaki said it was difficult to penetrate was because he had personally tested the defensive capabilities of this transparent protective shield with a sniper rifle.

If you just randomly shoot with a sniper rifle, it's impossible to penetrate this protective shield within three minutes.

However, if three bullets can be fired quickly within one second and hit the same spot on the protective shield, then the shield can be penetrated.

However, summoning this protective shield requires ten points of mental energy, and Suzuki Seimei already doesn't have enough mental energy to maintain his Stand, so he rarely uses his mental energy to summon this kind of protective shield.

Now, with the [Sandalwood Prayer Beads], an item that can accelerate the recovery of mental energy, Suzuki Seimei was able to expend 10 points of mental energy to summon this protective shield.

Because the protective shield summoned by Suzuki Seimei using the [Guardian Necklace] is a transparent shield that cannot be seen with the naked eye, the scene that follows appears extremely astonishing to outsiders.

"Ding! Ding!"

Ding Mian and Lu Bai, who were thrusting towards Li Maozhen, suddenly stopped their swords three feet away from Li Maozhen, as if they had struck something unseen.

If it weren't for the bulging veins on Ding Mian and Lu Bai's foreheads, and the fact that their longswords were bent, everyone would have thought they were acting.

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

Upon seeing this, Abbess Dingyi's pupils suddenly contracted. A Buddhist story she had read flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "A three-foot qi wall! It's actually a three-foot qi wall!"

"Master, do you perhaps know what kind of martial arts Master Li uses?" Yue Buqun asked with a face full of curiosity.

“When I was browsing through Buddhist scriptures in the temple, I once inadvertently came across a record about the Shaolin School.”

Master Dingyi said with a solemn expression: "It is said that during the Northern Song Dynasty, an unnamed divine monk once appeared in Shaolin Temple."

This monk possessed unfathomable martial arts skills, capable of projecting his internal energy outwards to create a three-foot-thick wall of energy around his body.

Even the most skilled martial artists of that time couldn't break through that three-foot-high barrier of energy, no matter how hard they tried.

This humble nun had always thought that the three-foot-long qi barrier displayed by that nameless monk was merely a myth exaggerated by later generations; she never imagined that such martial arts actually existed.

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun and the others couldn't help but gasp in unison.

To be able to project one's internal energy outwards and form a three-foot-high wall of energy, just how profound is Li Maozhen's cultivation?

Yue Buqun had diligently cultivated the "Zixia Divine Skill" for over thirty years, making him a rare master of internal energy in the martial arts world. However, he could only project his internal energy a few inches outward at most, which was incomparable to the legendary three-foot qi wall.

It's not surprising that Abbess Dingyi would make a mistake, since three feet is roughly equivalent to one meter.

The transparent protective shield summoned by the [Guardian Necklace] has a diameter of about two meters and a radius of about three feet, which perfectly matches the characteristics of the "Three-Foot Air Wall".

"Ding ding ding..."

Ding Mian and Lu Bai unleashed the full power of the "Songshan Sword Technique," their swords creating countless sword shadows that fell like a torrential downpour onto every corner of the transparent protective shield.

However, what Ding Mian and his companions could not accept was that their attacks not only failed to find the weak point of the "three-foot air wall," but also caused their beloved swords to be dented and damaged by the impact.

"What...what kind of monster are you?!"

Looking at their nearly ruined swords and then at Li Maozhen, who hadn't retreated even half a step, Ding Mian and Lu Bai finally couldn't suppress their fear and decided to retreat.

"Now that you've finished, it's my turn!"

Taking advantage of Ding Mian and Lu Bai's momentary lapse in concentration, Li Maozhen suddenly transformed into a blur, his hands turning into claws as he reached for their heads.

If Ding Mian and Lu Bai were in their prime, the two of them working together might have been able to withstand Li Maozhen's attack.

However, the two of them had already used up most of their internal energy in order to break through the transparent protective barrier, and even the swords in their hands had become useless.

"Ding! Ding!"

In their hasty attempt to defend themselves, the two men's dented swords couldn't even break through Li Maozhen's defenses, and they were directly seized on the leader's vital points.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in, Ding Mian. You are rewarded with a complete copy of the Songshan Sword Technique. You can claim it at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in as Lu Bai. You are rewarded with a complete copy of the Songshan Sword Technique. You can claim it at any time."

Just as Li Maozhen grabbed Ding Mian and Lu Bai's heads, Suzuki Seimei also heard a system notification.

"use!"

A glint flashed in Suzuki Seimei's eyes. He silently recited a mantra and used both of the advanced-level "Songshan Sword Technique" skill books.

Perhaps because Suzuki Seimei possessed two bloodlines suitable for swordsmanship training—the "Martial Arts Body" and the "Innate Sword Heart"—he not only felt no discomfort when absorbing the skill memories from the "Songshan Sword Technique" skill book, but rather thrived as if in his element.

In just about a minute, Suzuki Seimei absorbed all the skill memories of the "Songshan Swordplay" and mastered it to perfection.

Back then, the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Ten Elders of the Demonic Sect fought twice at Mount Hua. The Five Mountains Sword Sect's best fighters were almost all killed or wounded, and many of the Five Sects' amazing sword techniques disappeared along with the Five Sects' masters.

Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan Sect, gathered the remaining elders of the sect and recorded all the sword moves they remembered, regardless of their quality, compiling them into a sword manual.

After ten years of refinement and modification, Zuo Lengchan eliminated all the less ruthless and less magnificent moves in the Songshan Swordplay, leaving only the seventeen strongest moves, which were compiled into the Songshan Swordplay we know today.

The revised and improved "Songshan Swordplay" combines the exquisite sword techniques of many Songshan School swordplays. Although it cannot compare with top-level swordplays like "Dugu Nine Swords", it can still be considered a first-class swordplay in the world, and its power far surpasses the swordplays of the other four schools.

Most importantly, when Suzuki Seimei uses the "Songshan Sword Technique," its power is temporarily enhanced by his "Innate Sword Heart" and "Martial Arts Body," increasing his attack power by at least three times.

Chapter 437 Who is the real victim?

In other words, in Suzuki Seimei's hands, the "Songshan Swordplay" was only a first-rate swordplay, but it could unleash power comparable to top-tier swordplay.

Just like the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms used by Qiao Feng and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms used by Song Qingshu, their power is worlds apart.

"Bang! Bang!"

Li Maozhen exerted a slight force with both hands, and two streams of internal energy flowed out from his palms, shattering the heads of Ding Mian and Lu Bai simultaneously.

“Go back and tell Zuo Lengchan that Fei Bin and his two companions acted arrogantly and dared to bully my nephew. I will definitely seek justice for this matter.”

After casually killing two of the Songshan Sect's top bodyguards, Li Maozhen used his strangely colored twin children to scan the Songshan Sect disciples and said in a cold voice, "Once I've finished dealing with my current matters, I will personally come to the Songshan Sect to demand an explanation!"

(?--)

Everyone present was speechless upon hearing this.

If Fei Bin and the other two's bodies hadn't been still warm, they might have actually believed that Suzuki Seimei and Li Maozhen were victims.

Of course!

Strictly speaking, it was indeed Fei Bin who first attacked Suzuki Seimei, forcing Li Maozhen to retaliate, so they were truly victims.

When Liu Zhengfeng saw that the disciples of the Songshan Sect still hadn't released his wife and children, he couldn't help but shout angrily, "My Liu family doesn't welcome people from the Songshan Sect. Get out of here right now!"

"Let's take the bodies of our three senior uncles and senior masters and leave!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Dengda finally snapped out of his shock and hurriedly led dozens of Songshan Sect disciples away in a hasty retreat.

Without Fei Bin and his men backing them up, let alone Li Maozhen, even Liu Zhengfeng could make them suffer. Naturally, Shi Dengda and his men dared not stay here for long.

Watching the Songshan Sect disciples slink away, everyone subconsciously turned their gaze to Li Maozhen, looking as if they would follow his lead.

After witnessing Li Maozhen use the "Three-Foot Qi Wall" to forcefully suppress the three great protectors of the Songshan Sect, everyone present was completely convinced of his strength.

"There's no need for you to look at me like that. The Songshan Sect is domineering and has even humiliated my nephew. I'm just seeking justice for my nephew."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Maozhen returned to his seat of honor and waved to Liu Zhengfeng, saying, "Whether you want to retire from the martial world or not is up to you!"

Liu Zhengfeng first bowed to Li Maozhen, then turned to the crowd and said, "When I first became acquainted with Brother Qu, I had long anticipated this day."
