True Face Revealed, Luo Girl Astonished, Martial Arts Transform, Endless Wondrous Uses
Luo Feiyan was imprisoned and her life hung by a thread. She was highly skilled in martial arts, and her Lineage's Martial Dao had become a complete and orthodox system. But this Black-Faced Bat King had truly had many extraordinary encounters, and his methods were both strange and unusual. No wonder he was always able to turn the tables on his opponents and escape time and time again.
She realized this too late. The blood mist adhered to her, condensing into a blood cocoon that clung to her arms, making it impossible to use her skills anymore. Suddenly, she felt a cool sensation all over her body, and white mist drifted from behind her, dispelling the blood mist and ending its deadly power.
Having survived the ordeal, I was filled with astonishment. "What is this?"
She was cultivated by her Lineage, and every month at the "family banquet," she would eat "Essence Treasure" meat. Direct descendants drank soup at the age of three and ate meat at the age of ten... Every year thereafter, the Lineage would assess her character and abilities, and those who were excellent would improve year by year. In addition, she had a great talent for Martial Dao arts, Lineage placed high hopes on her.
Having consumed food and drink for a long time, Essence Consumption Realm was extremely easy, and the Primordial Simplicity Realm was even less difficult. She had personally experienced many characteristics of the Second Martial Realm. She should have recognized the "Three Flowers Converging at the Crown" characteristic. However, when she experienced this characteristic, all she felt was a clear aura rising from the top of her head, and she suddenly felt her mind become clear. Apart from that, she received no other benefit.
At this critical moment, there was no time to think further, and he didn't know it was "Three Flowers Converging at the Crown". Unable to resist his curiosity, he saw the white mist coming from behind him and couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!" This "white mist" technique actually came from Hua Manlou.
He was surrounded by white mist, his eyes were deep and profound, and although his face was dark and murky, he was still indescribably handsome. Then she saw that the murky color on his face was peeling away inch by inch, revealing that he was wearing rouge! His true face was revealed, his face was like jade, and he was handsome and dashing. How could such a face be seen? She was stunned for a moment, completely numb.
"He... he's so handsome?"
Seeing Li Xian's ethereal charm, her long hair flowing, and the red light between her brows, she seemed like a fairy or a god, and for a moment she forgot about the danger she was in.
The Black-Faced Bat King was also stunned, standing there in shock, completely forgetting his intention to take Luo Feiyan's life. Li Xian saw that Luo Feiyan and the Black-Faced Bat King were locked in fierce combat, and he had a rough understanding of their strengths and abilities. Comparing himself to them, he had a good idea of what to do.
Li Xian pressed down on Luo Feiyan's shoulder and pulled her backward. Luo Feiyan had long wanted to escape her predicament, and after several exchanges, she was secretly terrified. However, she was caught in the entanglement and could not break free. With Li Xian's help, she was overjoyed and used the force to break free from the skeleton's restraints.
The Luo Clan's martial arts in Embroidery City are related to "clothing and thread." Since everyone wears clothes, if this martial art is mastered, its combat effectiveness is exceptional. After a dangerous fight, Luo Feiyan's clothes were completely disheveled. She hurriedly circulated her Inner Qi and used her Lineage's martial arts to "manipulate the threads" and reassemble her clothes. However, her skirt was already much shorter, revealing her private parts, making it difficult to cover up completely.
She blushed and said, "You big liar!"
Li Xian was stunned. "What did I lie to you about?" Luo Feiyan pointed at his face and said, "You... you don't have a birthmark at all!"
Li Xian thought to himself, "Ah! My ' Three Flowers Converging at the Crown, Pure Breath Exhaling' characteristic can remove impurities, dispel blood mist, and even erase rouge. But I didn't expect to reveal my true form! This is not good! Oh well... with a formidable enemy at hand, I should deal with him first."
They simply ignored it.
The Black-Faced Bat King snapped out of his daze, a chill creeping over him. How could this strange young man so easily dispel the "blood mist"? This technique of his had always been infallible, catching the opponent off guard and delivering miraculous results. He thought to himself, "I must test him further; I absolutely cannot be careless!"
His chest heaved, and he coughed up another cloud of blood.
Li Xian said, "It's no use." He set up a stove on his belly, threw in firewood to start a fire, and Qi-Boiling Clear-Cooking away the impurities. He opened his mouth and exhaled, and the pure vapors swept away. The blood mist was very turbid, and it disappeared and dissipated upon touching the pure vapors.
Li Xian exhaled again, and the white mist condensed into a long beam that shot out. As he accumulated martial arts skills, many of his extraordinary abilities gradually became apparent.
This long, white mist... is actually the "Resounding Thunder Finger" from the "Heavenly Thunder Finger" technique. The Resounding Thunder Finger is to use finger force to create a "Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance."
This made the Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance sharp and piercing. The Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance is closely related to the chest and lungs. Li Xian first held a breath of fresh air in his mouth, then Resounding Thunder Finger to make the Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance, and then transmitted the sound to his lungs before exhaling it suddenly.
This suddenly imbued the white mist with deadly power! Its effect was extraordinary. The Black-Faced Bat King dodged to the side and saw the white mist strike the stone. With a "bang," the stone shattered into dust, which was instantly dispersed upon contact with the pure air. The stone, however, seemed to have been wiped away.
The Black-Faced Bat King exclaimed in surprise, "The Art Path?" He was speechless with fear.
In reality... this move contains the power of the Heavenly Thunder Finger, Heavenly Thunder Finger four-finger killing technique renowned for its "hardness," "fierceness," "vibration," and "speed." Its hidden shockwave can shatter, crack, or break even solid objects like pebbles or iron plates. However, it's less effective against people or trees. The Black-Faced Bat King, with his vast experience, said, "No... it's... a characteristic of Martial Dao!"
"Strange, very strange... This should be the characteristic of the Three Flowers Converging at the Crown. How can this person use it like this? I have traveled all over the country and encountered many strong opponents. There are those who are good at ' Double Wafting Immortal Tone ' and those who are good at ' Turbid Garment Cloak '. But this Three Flowers Converging at the Crown... I have only seen him use it like this."
He calmed himself down and tried to light a stove, add firewood, and Qi-Boiling Clear-Cooking. He opened his mouth and exhaled, but the thin, clear steam dissipated as soon as it left his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Li Xian Intestine-Turning Narrow Passage, "So this is the effect of the Three Flowers Converging at the Crown of an ordinary martial artist. No wonder they can't use it like I can." In fact, this was thanks to Wen Caishang.
Wen Caishang once gave him a "Innate Fetal-Washing Diagram" to purify his fetus. Later, using Lineage Secret Method, she helped him sculpt his spine to resemble a sacred mountain.
As the saying goes, "The chaos is divided, the clear rises Turbid Sinking." When Li Xian Spine Molding, his Intent-Qi soared to the sky, and the spine resembled a towering divine mountain, Pierce Heaven to the Penetrate Earth!
If we compare a martial artist to heaven and earth, then his heaven and earth are higher and broader than others. And the higher he is, the purer his spirit becomes.
Thus... Li Xian's "Three Flowers Converging at the Crown" could achieve such a miraculous effect. Wen Caishang also sculpted a spine like a divine mountain, with an extremely solid foundation. However... even divine mountains have differences.
Li Xian said, "You said earlier that you would stand still and let Miss Hua Feiyan fight you, but that wouldn't do you any good." The Black-Faced Bat King has many tricks up his sleeve, and he is good at winning in the first battle by surprise. If the opponent is already on guard, his power will be reduced by several times.
The Black-Faced Bat King glanced at the sun, his brow furrowing. He was terrified of sunlight and had no way to escape now. He needed to find a way to deal with the two. However, his old tricks were no longer effective. Moreover, this boy's "Three Flowers Converging at the Crown his head and pure breath" was quite peculiar, actually countering the strange moves he had painstakingly practiced.
"Victory can only be achieved through hand-to-hand combat," the Black-Faced Bat King resolved, and laughed, "What, you want to try too?"
Luo Feiyan said, "No, this thief is extremely cunning, Brother Lou... let's join forces to capture him! Or we can use smoke as a signal to alert others, that would be safe."
Her words had lost their previous arrogance; she was now speechless with shame and embarrassment. She had previously hurled insults at Li Xian, but now he had saved her. She was deeply grateful and ashamed.
Li Xian pondered, "Should I use smoke as a signal to call everyone to share the spoils? I've figured out the Black-Faced Bat King's methods; this is a golden opportunity that we must seize. If we miss it, things will become much more complicated. But this Black-Faced Bat King is very powerful, so we need to be even more careful."
Having already made his plans, he sneered, "Hmph! You woman, you're underestimating me!"
"Huh?" Luo Feiyan was taken aback. Li Xian said calmly, "I, Hua, punish evil and uphold justice, why would I need help? Your womanly views are nothing but embarrassment. Get out of the way, do you want me to save you again?"
Luo Feiyan's eyes reddened, her nose stung, and she felt unspeakably wronged. When had she ever been treated like this before, especially since she was worried about Li Xian and her good intentions had been met with insults? She wanted to argue, but Li Xian had indeed saved her life. She hesitated, her face turning ashen with suppressed rage. Angrily, she muttered, "Fine! You arrogant jerk, I'm ignoring you! When Meeting of Yin Acupoint miserably, I'll clap my hands in celebration!"
He stomped his feet and walked to the side.
The Black-Faced Bat King laughed, "Hahaha, very good, excellent! This brother has great magnanimity. Although I, the Black-Faced Bat King, am ruthless, I have the utmost respect for those with backbone. Let us have a contest. If I win, I will spare your life and leave. If you win, I will do as you please."
He hesitated about his escape route. The sun was high in the sky, and if he delayed until dusk, his exceptional agility would greatly increase his chances of escape.
Li Xian glanced at him coldly, put his hands behind his back, and said indifferently, "You are not worthy to compete with me."
The Black-Faced Bat King's expression was extremely cold. "Boy! You're far too arrogant!"
Luo Feiyan thought to herself, "This person is truly shameless, so arrogant. He deserves to be taught a lesson!"
Li Xian said, "You petty scoundrel, to fight you would be an insult to the reputation of Hua Manlou. How about this... I will stand here and allow you to strike me three times. If those three strikes can harm me in the slightest, I will let you go. If not, how about you obediently surrender?"
The Black-Faced Bat King's mind raced. "This person... is this person truly incredibly powerful? Or is he just arrogant and conceited?" He said, "Very well, very well then, let me see just how powerful you really are today."
Having said that, he quietly approached and struck Luo Feiyan in the face. Luo Feiyan cried out, "Watch out!"
Li Xian said calmly, "Only three palm strikes."
The Black-Faced Bat King immediately withdrew his palm strike, took several steps back, and exclaimed in surprise and doubt, "If this person is truly extremely powerful, then striking his face and provoking him would be extremely dangerous!"
Li Xian laughed and said, "What... is this the kind of person the Black-Faced Bat King is? I'm standing here, too afraid to even make a move?"
"I really want to capture you without even making a move. But I, Hua Manlou, have never liked bullying the weak. If you're such a coward, then there's no need for these three slaps; just come back with me!"
His voice was powerful and his aura was incredibly strong. Coupled with the swirling aura of pure energy, his brow was a striking crimson, and his long hair flowed freely—a rare sight indeed! The Black-Faced Bat King's expression changed, and he said, "Very well! Since Senior Hua has spoken so, I, this junior, have no choice but to risk my life to accompany you!"
Luo Feiyan was surprised. Could this smooth-talking young man really be some senior? She had always heard that Jianghu masters were well-mannered, had ageless appearances, and some even had strange personalities and peculiar quirks.
The Black-Faced Bat King tentatively approached and said, "Senior, please forgive me!" He then thrust out a palm, from which black blood spurted and imprinted itself on Li Xian's chest.
This was the "Blood-Eroding Poison Palm." The Black-Faced Bat King still had reservations, and this palm strike still held back some power. He first used the "Poison Palm" to secretly observe Li Xian's reaction.
Li Xian used his Qi to resist. Three Flowers Converging at the Crown, and with a blast of white mist, he dispersed the poison from the Poison Palm strike. The palm strike itself wasn't particularly powerful, and he could easily withstand it.
Li Xian smiled calmly, "If that's all you've got, then don't bother with the remaining two blows. Just surrender and be captured."
Provoked by this, and feeling repeatedly looked down upon, the Black-Faced Bat King's anger surged. He thought to himself, "Hmph! I'll see if you're really that powerful!" He struck out with his right palm, a palm strike that held nothing back and contained extremely strong Inner Qi.
It is the "Stone-Shattering Heart-Shaking Palm"... This palm strike easily shatters stones, and its force is extremely powerful.
Li Xian's breath hitched. His Peak Mastery Iron-Copper Body activated, unleashing a burst of dark light. The Black-Faced Bat King struck from behind, and he used its force to play the "Yang Immortal Melody."
The dark light transformed into crimson clouds, resembling scorching copper and iron, as a wave of heat surged forth. The Black-Faced Bat King's palm strike was powerful, and the moment it touched Li Xian's body, it emitted a sizzling heat. He practiced Evil Dao martial arts, his style being cold and vicious, which was precisely what Li Xian could counter. This palm strike failed to injure Li Xian, but instead burned himself.
He was terrified and retreated several steps, his two consecutive palm strikes being neutralized. He was filled with panic. "This kind of master, I couldn't even hurt him in the slightest after using two moves. If he really fought me, wouldn't I have been utterly defeated long ago? He could clearly subdue me easily, yet he allowed me to strike him three times. He must be an extremely arrogant person. If my last strike can injure him even slightly, I will have survived this ordeal. I must not hold back any longer!"
He made a silent decision and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry!" His Blood Qi surged, and his arms quickly became thin, turning into skin and bones.
He prepared his palm strike. This palm strike was called "Blood Bat Flesh-Dissolving Palm," the Black-Faced Bat King powerful killing move. After accumulating power for a long time, he said, "Take this!" and thrust both palms forward fiercely.
The blood mist was foul and murky, causing the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees to wither upon contact. Blood flowed from the leaves, and the tree trunks were stained crimson. This palm strike had been gathering power for a long time and was truly extremely powerful.
Li Xian laughed loudly, "Good, hahaha, excellent, that's more like it!" He was full of arrogance. However... when the two palms were pushed in front of him, he suddenly dodged. The Black-Faced Bat King was overjoyed, thinking that even Senior Flower would not dare to take this palm head-on. But he never expected that Li Xian would suddenly draw his sword, and "swish swish" two Yang-Origin Sword Qi hit him.
The Black-Faced Bat King screamed in pain, trying to defend himself, but it was too late. His palm strike, imbued with the power of his entire body, was unleashed like a raging river.
With the first palm strike, he was worried that Li Xian was using a trick. He used three parts of his palm force and held back seven, concealing countless backup moves. With the second palm strike, although he believed that Li Xian was not to be underestimated, he still used seven parts of his palm force and held back three, leaving himself a way out. With the third palm strike, he was frightened and felt that he had to injure Li Xian to have any chance of survival.
Therefore, the third strike was completely unexpected by the follow-up move.
Li Xian's "Three-Palm Pact" refers to this very moment. He will strike suddenly when the enemy is exhausted and his energy is depleted. The Black-Faced Bat King hides in his cloak, allowing himself to be attacked. He waits until the enemy is angry and frustrated before suddenly unleashing a surprise attack, catching them off guard. This is the same principle.
But Li Xian's enticements were more sophisticated. Once his sword was drawn, he showed no mercy, each move ruthless and swift.
The Black-Faced Bat King screamed, "Boy! You cheated! You dared to lie to me!" He was already at his limit, and after being attacked repeatedly, he was in a very sorry state.
Li Xian said, "Hua Feiyan! Come here quickly!"
Luo Feiyan was taken aback, but quickly figured it out. It turned out that Li Xian had pretended to be a master, tricked the Black-Faced Bat King into using his power to attack him, and then attacked him until he was exhausted.
Luo Feiyan cursed, "Bastard!" with a delighted expression, and attacked from both sides.
Luo Feiyan unleashed a barrage of palm strikes: Luo Clan Cotton Palm, Coiling Silk Hand, and Falling Blossoms Flourishing Palm. Li Xian used the Great Luo Saber Technique to assist him from the side. The Black-Faced Bat King, already severely injured, resisted for a moment longer before being struck by several more sword strikes and palm strikes.
The Black-Faced Bat King felt hopeless and was filled with regret. If he had attacked head-on, he could have fought and fled... and the battle could have dragged on for a long time. By dusk, he might have been able to escape.
He was sent flying backward, landing on the ground, cursing, "You little scoundrel! I was tricked by you and died unjustly. My master will avenge me! You're going to die!" With a final breath, he died.
Li Xian muttered, "She also made a move, so why are you blaming me?" Luo Feiyan's face darkened, and she glared at Li Xian fiercely.
Li Xian guessed that Jianghu masters possessed a wide variety of skills, and that death by a stroke did not necessarily mean death; he needed to test them carefully. So he took a stone and shot it, breaking the skin and flesh... He was now absolutely certain that the Black-Faced Bat King was indeed dead, and felt somewhat relieved.
Li Xian said, "Miss... thank you for your help. Please don't mind my words just now." Luo Feiyan happily, "Young master, you're too kind! I Hua Feiyan, am by no means a petty person."
Li Xian said, "That's good!"
Luo Feiyan smiled and said, "To be honest, with your talent, why would you deliberately make yourself look ugly? I... I was also blind to your true nature, and I treated you very rudely along the way. At the crucial moment, you disregarded past grievances and came to my rescue out of righteousness. I am deeply grateful!"
Her face flushed with embarrassment as she scrutinized Li Xian's features several times. She thought to herself, "What a handsome face he has! Is that a red mole between his eyebrows Transformed Aspect? If I have the chance, I'll ask him properly."
Li Xian said, "This matter... alas, it is a very sad thing." Luo Feiyan said softly, "Now that the villain has been eliminated, if you have the time... why not tell Feiyan about it?"
Li Xian said, "Miss Fei Yan, you... you really want to hear my mundane affairs?" Luo Feiyan smiled and said, "If you're willing to tell me, I'm willing to listen."
Li Xian said gratefully, "That... that's wonderful. I have so many things on my mind, but I have nowhere to confide in you. I'm truly... truly grateful that you're willing to listen. Cough cough..." Halfway through her sentence, her legs suddenly gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.
Luo Feiyan was very concerned and immediately helped him up, asking, "Young Master Hua... what's wrong?" Li Xian said, "Perhaps... perhaps I suffered internal injuries from taking two blows earlier!"
Luo Feiyan said, "I have healing medicine." Li Xian said, "Miss Yan... I'm so thirsty, please get me some water."
Luo Feiyan fed Li Xian the pill and said, "Alright! You wait here." Then she turned to look for the stream.
Seeing Luo Feiyan leave, Li Xian, whose injuries had healed instantly, laughed and said, "Little girl, you're still so easy to fool. I'm sorry, Miss Luo." He then went to search for the corpse of the Black-Faced Bat King.
Three treasures were found: the Heaven-and-Earth Casket, the Blood-Refining Three Classics, and the Blood-Birthing Flesh Recipe.
The Heaven-and-Earth Casket contains "Yellow Nine Ginseng." It is as yellow and lustrous as jade, with dense, fine hairs. It contains a section of ginseng head and a piece of ginseng root... Although it is not complete, Li Xian has mastered the "Appraisal Insight" characteristics and enhanced its Art Essence, which should be more than enough!
Li Xian Xianchen:
"As the saying goes, 'Heaven helps those who help themselves,' and by a twist of fate, I obtained this Yellow Nine Ginseng. In that case, I am only one ingredient, ' Dawn Yellow Dew,' away from mastering the Golden Light of the Art Path. Even if I cannot obtain the Dawn Yellow Dew, I can still discern the Art Path by obtaining other Human Yellow. However, the quality of the Art Path is truly difficult to predict."
He gazed into the distance, then pondered, "Luo Feiyan seems unaware that the Black-Faced Bat King is hiding a great treasure. Otherwise, why would she fetch water for me? I intentionally tested her, and she fell for it. But if this continues... how should I deal with it? I'll try to get rid of her later, but if she returns to the Luo Residence and explains the situation, the Luo Residence will definitely find a charge against me and issue an arrest warrant!"
"Oh dear! The Luo Residence is alright, they're still a local power. I fled far away, out of this area. Their power has weakened, they can't easily catch me again. I'm just afraid of provoking Wen Caishang!"
There are no good decisions to be made on either side.
Li Xian faintly heard the commotion and knew that Luo Feiyan had returned. He didn't have time to examine the other treasures closely and hid them in his breast pocket.
Luo Feiyan said, "Young Master Hua, the water is here, please drink it." Suddenly, her cheeks flushed, "This... this is my water pouch. But things are urgent, please make do with it."
Li Xian exclaimed, "Do women change their expressions so quickly?" He took the water pouch; it still held a lingering fragrance, and his lips were faintly red. He drank a few sips and smiled, "Thank you, young lady. I feel much better now. This water is especially sweet."
Luo Feiyan's pretty face flushed slightly, a mixture of reproach and delight, and she said, "Your merit in killing the Black-Faced Bat King is immense. Come back to the Luo Residence with me, and I'll have the clan physician treat you."
Remembering her Lineage's promise to slay the Black-Faced Bat King, she felt a surge of embarrassment. Previously she had been so disdainful, but now she felt a mixture of shyness and joy.
Surprisingly, I didn't feel any aversion to it.
Luo Feiyan asked, "Where are you from, young master? Where do you live? Do you belong to any Lineage or sect?"
Li Xian said, "I am nameless, a drifter in this mortal world." Luo Feiyan asked happily, "Then... are you married?"
Li Xian said, "So that's what you're worried about, young lady. It's alright... I will speak to your Lineage about this matter myself. How can such a serious matter concerning a woman be decided so casually?"
Luo Feiyan was very grateful, thinking that Li Xian was extremely understanding, but she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, muttering, "I didn't mind at all."
Luo Feiyan said, "Young master, what was that sad thing you mentioned earlier..." Li Xian said, "Please come closer, young lady."
Luo Feiyan's cheeks flushed slightly as she leaned her head back, her hair exuding a delicate fragrance. Li Xian said, "That matter is..." He exhaled hot breath, tickling her ears.
It felt like a scratch to the heart. Li Xian said, "That is... please don't be offended, Miss Luo." Suddenly, he used "Wonder Cloud Hand" to strike Luo Feiyan's pressure point.
Its Inner Qi is abundant and powerful.
Caught completely off guard, Luo Feiyan rolled her eyes and fainted, collapsing onto Li Xian's chest. Li Xian sighed, "Let's tie her up first and find a way to escape far away."
"We've only just met, and it's inevitable that we'll offend each other. But my life isn't at stake, so let it be."
Li Xian had long ago stored his "Silk Jade Cord" in a box and buried it elsewhere. He feared that Wen Caishang would be able to find him through the Silkworm Silk. Although he couldn't be sure if Wen Caishang had that ability, the Silk Thread Formation in Tiger-Cry Ridge could certainly pinpoint his location. Therefore, he dared not keep it.
Li Xian, now free of ropes, suddenly felt a surge of joy as he remembered the "Golden Leopard Tendon." Since borrowing the "Ecliptic Bow," the Golden Leopard Bow had become redundant. He carried a multitude of items, making it difficult to carry two bows and arrows together. The Ecliptic Bow belonged to Wen Caishang, and he couldn't bear to part with it. Wen Caishang ordered it to be lent to Li Xian. He had no choice but to abandon the Golden Leopard Bow.
Unwilling to completely abandon it, he untied the bowstring and tied it to his waist, where it came in handy.
Li Xian straightened the Golden Leopard Tendon, roughly bound Luo Feiyan's hands, and laid her flat on the ground. He noticed her clothes were disheveled, barely concealing her private parts. Seeing her inner garments, Li Xian laughed, "This Luo Feiyan's attire is quite unrestrained."
He carried narcotics with him and administered a larger dose to her. After doing this, he was certain that she would remain unconscious for several hours, so he noted the exact time.
"In this way, I can carefully prepare the Black-Faced Bat King's corpse in the next two hours. This forest isn't too big, but it's not too small either. If we encounter any Jianghu artists, it could be troublesome."
Li Xian, wielding the River-Sinking Sword, unleashed the "Great Luo Saber Technique," slashing and digging into the ground to create a large pit.
Throw the Black-Faced Bat King into the pit, cover it with soil, and the job is done.
