Chapter 196: Li Ping: Conversion? If he's converted, is he still himself?
Most of the martial arts practitioners who came to participate in this martial arts tournament were watching with a sense of schadenfreude as Xiao Yuanshan caused trouble for Shaolin.
After all, Shaolin Temple is currently enjoying too much glory, and people in the martial arts world are hoping for its downfall.
Xiao Yuanshan uncovered evidence of these Shaolin disciples' crimes. Although Master Fangzheng was impartial and fair in his handling of the matter, it was a real blow to Shaolin's reputation, which made them feel very satisfied.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanshan would uncover a case from hundreds of years ago, at which point everyone thought there was nothing left to watch!
Who would want to deal with this kind of thing anymore, especially since it's said that the person involved has already paid the ultimate price?
Master Fangzheng can deny it, and no one can find fault with him!
Unexpectedly, Master Fangzheng was willing to take the blame for his predecessors. Even those who wanted to see Shaolin suffer a loss admired Master Fangzheng's character.
They all felt that Xiao Yuanshan was unlucky; his real enemy had been dead for hundreds of years, and no matter how much he wanted to take revenge, he had no chance.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanshan still made a move, and his attack was incredibly terrifying.
With a single strike, sand and stones flew, and the force was like a surging ocean. Anyone who was even slightly close felt as if their face was being slashed by a knife, and their breath caught in their throat.
Even in this world full of extraordinary individuals, such strength would definitely make one of the top masters in the martial arts world.
Unexpectedly, a servant monk suddenly appeared from Shaolin Temple and, without moving his hands or feet, actually neutralized Xiao Yuanshan's palm strike.
Is Shaolin Temple really that profound?
Zuo Lengchan's heart pounded wildly; he couldn't believe his eyes.
His biggest dream is to unite the Five Sacred Mountains sects and then stand alongside Shaolin and Wudang as one of the three great sects.
Now, Zhang Sanfeng has returned to Wudang, and an old monk has appeared out of nowhere at Shaolin Temple with such terrifying cultivation.
Could it be supernatural power?
Do not!
The god used the power of "god," but what was just now was clearly the power of true qi.
Martial arts can actually be cultivated to this level?
With such a master in Shaolin, even the Five Mountains Alliance would find it difficult to stand shoulder to shoulder with them!
Compared to these two sects, the Five Mountains Sword Sect's foundation is far too weak!
I just don't know if my "Breaking Edge" technique can break through his three-foot-high aura barrier.
Hua Zhenzhen's eyes widened!
She had naturally witnessed the Shaolin Kung Fu of her own world; although it was very strong, it couldn't be said to be able to overpower Mount Hua.
But who would have thought that the Shaolin Temple in this world would be so powerful?
How difficult must it be for the Huashan Sect to make a name for itself and rival Shaolin?
But the most astonished was Xiao Yuanshan, who was exceptionally talented, had few opportunities to learn from renowned masters, and possessed astonishing martial arts skills.
Apart from Murong Bo, no one in his life had ever been able to withstand three or two of his moves.
Even Xuan Ci back then was nothing more than a roadside creature under his command.
Moreover, after Yanmen Pass, he sneaked into Shaolin Temple, secretly learned many of Shaolin's unique skills, and even figured out how to counter them. His cultivation level was now far stronger than it had been at Yanmen Pass.
As a result, when he struck with his palm, the person was instantly obliterated by a three-foot-high wall of energy.
The old monk's martial arts skills had reached a level he couldn't comprehend.
"father!"
Just then, Qiao Feng stepped forward and landed beside Xiao Yuanshan, looking at the Sweeper Monk with a somewhat solemn expression.
He naturally guessed that this person was most likely a high-ranking monk who had "converted" his father back then.
Conversion sounds like a good thing, but no matter how he thinks about it, it feels awkward!
Upon seeing Qiao Feng, Xiao Yuanshan was stunned, and said in a trembling voice, "You...you know me?"
Qiao Feng sighed: "After arriving in the future, I met some people, and from them I learned roughly what happened to me later."
Xiao Yuanshan laughed and looked at the sweeping monk: "This monk is indeed quite skilled. Today, my son and I will join forces to fight this monk."
Qiao Feng said, "Father, let it go. Hundreds of years have passed, the people involved are no longer here, and Xuan Ci died because of this."
"Back then, Shaolin was merely used as a tool; the true mastermind, Murong Bo, has already died at Brother Li's hands."
Xiao Yuanshan roared, "How can it be unrelated? If it weren't for Shaolin's reputation, would Xuanci have been able to gather so many people to attack me and your mother? It was because of Shaolin's reputation that your mother died!"
That statement isn't entirely without merit.
At this moment, Abbot Fangzheng said, "Benefactor Xiao, Shaolin is indeed at fault in this matter. I wonder how you, Benefactor Xiao, intend to resolve this matter?"
Seeing this, Li Ping finally confirmed that Master Fangzheng was indeed a highly virtuous monk.
If he were to reveal the identities of Qiao Feng and his son directly, the situation would immediately reverse.
But he didn't!
Even such a high-ranking monk felt that annexing farmers' land was a matter of course...
Oh, what a damned world!
However, now that Zhu Yuanzhang is back, they will definitely suffer, because he also wants to curb land annexation, and he even introduced relevant policies during the Hongwu era...
Xiao Yuanshan sneered, "As long as we take down your Shaolin signboard and demolish your Shaolin Temple, this matter will be over."
Fang Zheng was taken aback: "This is absolutely unacceptable."
Master Fangzheng is truly a great person, even to the point of being somewhat pedantic.
When Ren Yingying passed down the Yi Jin Jing to save Linghu Chong, she was willing to stay at Shaolin Temple. However, when the abbess of the Hengshan Sect came to plead for her release, he actually let her go.
No wonder he was able to master the Yi Jin Jing; he truly is a great monk who has seen through the illusions of self and others.
Even so, he couldn't accept this condition. At this moment, the sweeping monk said, "This matter is easy."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Some people said they wanted to destroy Shaolin Temple, but the Shaolin monks said, "This is easy."
Even Master Fangzheng was astonished. Having read the ancient books, he naturally recognized the high monk's identity. Even he couldn't understand how this high monk could say such a thing.
When Buddha cut off his own flesh to feed an eagle, he didn't actually kill himself to do so, did he?
The sweeping monk took a large step, as if shrinking the distance to an inch, and arrived in front of Xiao Yuanshan. Qiao Feng was shocked and was about to make a move.
But at that moment, the sweeping monk paused for a moment.
He felt an astonishing aura lock onto him. He retreated, returning to his original position as if he had never moved. Then he saw Li Ping.
Li Ping had already taken his place in the arena at some point, drawing his longsword and unleashing waves of sword energy towards the Sweeping Monk.
The combat tactics he learned from the fragments of time and space amidst the ever-changing storms were displayed to everyone for the first time.
Zuo Lengchan was utterly shocked: "How...how did they do that?"
Is this Li Ping's true strength?
It turns out that all these times, I haven't even seen his true abilities.
Hua Zhenzhen was equally stunned. Could this really be done?
The pre-battle confrontation was not just a battle of spirit and momentum; it could even be like this?
Does true qi cost nothing?
Seeing Li Ping suddenly make a move, Abbot Fangzheng was extremely surprised: "Benefactor Li, I don't know..."
Li Ping said calmly, "Brother Qiao is my good friend, so naturally I can't just watch his old man be converted by this master."
"Conversion...that sounds nice, but in my opinion, if he can forget even this deep-seated hatred, is he still himself?"
Qiao Feng was stunned, and finally understood where that feeling he had come from!
Yes!
If I can let go of such a deep-seated hatred, then is my father still himself?
The thought alone sends chills down one's spine.
The sweeping monk said, "So it was the Guardian Sword of the Nation right in front of me, but there is no cure for Layman Xiao's current condition except through Buddhist teachings. I was just trying to save him."
Li Ping said, "I still have a way to treat this illness."
"Ha ha……"
"That's only one reason!"
"It's mainly because your strength is just too great, Master. It makes me eager to try your Shaolin skills."
"Master, may I have some guidance?"
The sweeping monk's face fell: "In this situation, if I disagree, I suppose I won't be able to leave."
Even with his strength, it wouldn't be easy for him to break free when Li Ping's aura was so restraining.
This unprecedented fighting style also piqued his curiosity...
After all, he hasn't become a Buddha yet, and people still have curiosity!
