Chapter 48: Li Chenzhou VS Ren Woxing
Yue Buqun and his two companions had arrived long ago. They were very surprised to hear this. They had heard of Li Chenzhou's name before. He was a recently emerged expert who had single-handedly taken on a branch of the Sun Moon Sect.
That's impressive, but how dare they challenge Li Ping?
Isn't that just asking for trouble?
Huang Rong looked displeased and said to Li Ping, "If you kill the number one in the world, you'll become the number one in the world. Now you're in trouble..."
"How could we live like this if people came up to challenge us every day?!"
Li Ping was also stunned. Damn, Li Chenzhou is challenging me?
How strong is this guy?
Although the fight scenes in Wen's martial arts novels are described in a very impressionistic and abstract way, there is one scene that provides a specific description of Li Chenzhou's martial arts skills.
When he first appeared, he threw a blade of grass and shattered all the teeth of a master, even before Xiao Qiushui's stone arrived.
It has long since reached the point where even flying flowers and plucked leaves can cause injury.
That's not all; after all, even the Five Masters of the Second Round could reach this level.
But the most outrageous thing is that his finger strikes can ring a bronze bell twelve feet away, the kind that monks in temples would have to strike with a pillar.
Qiao Feng unleashed three palm strikes from fifteen zhang away, combining their power!
While the distance at which one can project their true energy doesn't necessarily indicate absolute combat strength, it's still quite terrifying.
However, Li Ping was not afraid at all. After becoming a Xiantian martial artist, he used his abilities even more skillfully, with all sorts of ingenious ideas.
He was just about to give it a try when a master came knocking on his door, and he was about to agree!
Just then, a loud laugh came from afar: "How dare you! You nobody dares to challenge Master Li! What qualifications do you have?"
The voice was so loud that it hurt people's eardrums, which showed how skilled the person was!
As everyone looked over, they saw an old man with a long beard and hair walking towards them, accompanied by a middle-aged man and two beautiful women.
The two beautiful women were Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang, the old man was Ren Woxing, and the middle-aged man was Xiang Wentian.
Ren Yingying has already taken over Blackwood Cliff.
Yang Lianting has never been recognized by the older generation of masters in the Sun Moon Sect, but in the past, with Dongfang Bubai around, they dared not speak up.
Now that Dongfang Bubai is dead, Ren Yingying rallied the entire Sun Moon Cult, and Yang Lianting was crushed into dust.
Subsequently, on the orders of the cult leader, Ren Yingying released Ren Woxing, who had been imprisoned in West Lake.
He had been imprisoned at the bottom of the lake for so many years, his hatred unquenched. He had always thought about how he would torture Dongfang Bubai if he were to escape, but when he finally came out, he heard that his mortal enemy, Dongfang Bubai, was dead!?
The one who killed Dongfang Bubai was a banished immortal, and this banished immortal put his daughter in the position of leader of the Sun Moon Cult.
Ren Woxing didn't care about "immortals" or anything like that. He was very familiar with the trick of immortals descending to earth and didn't take it seriously!
But now that the enemy is dead and his daughter has inherited the position of leader, what should he do?
He was confused!
Did he steal his daughter's place?
He did have that thought for a moment, but ultimately he didn't go that crazy. Besides his feelings for his daughter, he was also wary of Li Ping.
He had read the "Sunflower Manual" and knew how extraordinary it was to master this divine skill.
But it was from Ren Yingying that he learned that the Sunflower Manual was even more powerful than he had imagined.
It's terrifying that Li Ping could defeat someone like Dongfang Bubai, especially since he also possesses the legendary Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.
What if such a person, having won over the followers, then appoints his daughter as the leader? What if he has some ulterior motive?
So this time he came with his daughter, firstly to express his gratitude, and secondly to test Li Ping's background.
Ren Yingying brought Li Ping various martial arts manuals from the Sun Moon Sect. Since Zhang Wuji had been the leader of the Ming Cult, Li Ping was eager to know if any of these manuals contained techniques like the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, or the Sacred Flame Token.
Upon seeing Ren Woxing, Yue Buqun and the other two's expressions changed drastically.
Dongfang Bubai was indeed a villain of his generation and the undisputed number one person in the world, but if we were to ask which member of the Sun Moon Cult was the most feared by people in the martial arts world.
That can only be Ren Woxing, or rather, his Star Absorbing Technique.
For martial artists, death is not the most terrifying thing, but having their hard-earned inner energy absorbed by someone else and becoming a cripple is the most terrifying thing.
Yue Buqun said, enunciating each word clearly, "Old Demon Ren, you've actually come out of seclusion?!"
Ren Woxing sneered: "Hypocrite of the Huashan Sect, don't be nervous. I'm not here for you. I'll settle my score with you later."
At this moment, Li Chenzhou looked at him seriously and said, "You mean, if I beat you, I can challenge Li Ping?"
Ren Woxing was furious. What blatant contempt!
Have people forgotten my name just because I've been out of the public eye for a little over a decade?
He smiled sinisterly, "As long as you can win..."
Li Ping thought for a moment, then remained silent, deciding to observe the quality of these two individuals first.
Li Chenzhou nodded: "Okay..."
The next moment, he appeared in front of Ren Woxing, raised his hand, clenched his fist, and threw a punch.
Ren Yingying and the others' expressions changed drastically in an instant.
In terms of speed, Li Chenzhou's movement technique may not be as unpredictable as the Sunflower Manual, but his speed is still extremely astonishing.
More importantly, even from that distance, they could still feel the suffocating force of his punch.
Ren Woxing, who was facing Li Chenzhou directly, was even more shocked. This man's boxing skills had reached the point of simplifying complexity and achieving divine understanding.
Even more terrifying is the power of his punches!
Like a mountain collapsing, like a tsunami, like the entire world crashing down on you.
Magnificent and imposing, utterly domineering!
Even Ren Woxing, who had roamed the martial world for centuries, had never seen such terrifying fist techniques, but...
What do I have to fear?
Let me show you the wonders of the Star Absorbing Technique!
He met the attack with a simple palm strike, a feint of great skill, utterly mysterious.
Before their fists and palms even collided, they emitted a series of loud, booming sounds of energy.
Then, Li Chengzhou unleashed his fist power, and Ren Woxing felt an overwhelming force pressing down on him. Terrified, he immediately activated his Star Absorbing Technique...
The fist and palm finally collided, and the force of the impact exploded like thunder.
Li Chenzhou staggered back a step, while Ren Woxing retreated seven steps in a row. He felt a sweet taste in his throat, his internal organs were severely injured, but he was strong-willed and swallowed the blood.
He was horrified. Not to mention how high this person's fist technique and how strong his power were, he was actually able to break free from his Star Absorbing Technique.
What level of cultivation is this?
Li Chenzhou also looked astonished: "What kind of technique is this? It can actually absorb other people's true energy... It's a pity that although your true energy is thick, it seems that you've absorbed the true energy of others!"
"Therefore, it's thick but not pure, chaotic and disorderly; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to break free!"
Indeed, as he said, Ren Woxing absorbed the true energy of countless people, and in terms of the sheer volume of his true energy, he was probably among the top in the entire metal-based martial arts world.
Unfortunately, his internal energy was mixed and had hidden dangers, so he could not be considered a top-level expert.
Ren Woxing laughed loudly, "This is my Star Absorbing Technique, now you know how powerful it is!"
Li Chenzhou shook his head and chuckled: "Your internal organs are already severely injured, there's no point in trying to be brave here."
Ren Woxing's expression changed, but he was not one to accept defeat, and finally sighed, "It is I who have lost."
The others' expressions changed drastically again; Old Demon Ren had actually lost in a single move.
Is Li Chenzhou really that strong?
Where did he come from?!
Li Chenzhou looked at Li Ping: "Hero Li, please..."
Li Ping exclaimed, "Impressive! No wonder you're the leader of the Power Gang; you actually managed to defeat Ren Woxing in a single move!"
Li Chenzhou shook his head and said, "That was because he was greedy, wanting to achieve everything in one fell swoop, and trying to use the Star Absorbing Technique as a shortcut. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been defeated in just one move!"
Li Ping said, "Perhaps. Since that's the case, let's go for it!"
"Since you defeated him in one move, I'll defeat you in one move!"
In an instant, the scene fell into dead silence!
What the hell are you saying?
