Chapter 122: A Divine Skill Descended from Heaven, the War God's Manual? The Tai Xuan Scripture
"Who goes there? It's Master Li..."
The martial arts practitioners, upon hearing Li Ping's question, blushed with excitement: "It is said that this time, a strange person descended from the sky, along with several stone walls, on which unparalleled martial arts techniques are engraved."
"Unfortunately, it was obtained by the imperial court."
"The imperial court said that anyone willing to join the Commandery can observe the martial arts techniques on the stone wall for free."
"If you are unwilling to join the General Affairs Department, as long as you can win ten consecutive matches in the arena and agree to do something for the court, you can get a stick of incense's worth of observation time."
"Complete two items and you get two incense sticks' worth of observation time; complete three items and you get three incense sticks' worth of observation time. The entire martial arts world of the capital has gone mad..."
Such a thing actually happened!?
However, martial arts manuals are indeed the thing that most easily drives the martial arts world crazy.
Zhu Houzhao's move seems to be imitating Yanda Khan's use of the Northern Darkness Divine Skill to recruit masters!
The conditions are a bit strange though!
After obtaining the stone wall, Zhu Houzhao did consider using it to directly recruit experts.
However, he had reviewed Zhu Yuanzhang's records on how to handle affairs of the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world).
After Zhu Yuanzhang gained power, he did consider managing the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world), but he found that these Jianghu people were too lawless, too unruly, and difficult to manage.
He even considered wiping out these martial arts masters, but he couldn't do it.
If faced with a large army charging into battle, both sides would clash head-on, and even the most skilled martial artists would be unable to withstand such a charge.
But these martial arts masters aren't fools. As soon as the army arrives, they run far away and secretly carry out assassinations, which is really difficult to deal with.
Therefore, given his ruthlessness, he spared the Ming Cult even after it changed its name to the Sun Moon Cult!
They let the people of the martial arts world do as they pleased, since they didn't need to be bothered with them; they would fight to the death on their own.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao finally proposed this condition.
The first condition is fine, but the second condition is that although we can't recruit these people from the martial arts world, we can make them work for us, and we don't even have to pay them wages!
Given the nature of people in the martial arts world, once they make a promise, they will absolutely keep it.
This can be considered a way to make up for the shortage of manpower in the General Affairs Department.
That's quite a clever tactic!
Li Ping asked in astonishment, "A stone wall fell from the sky, and it's an unparalleled martial arts technique? Really?"
The wandering swordsman said, "Of course it's true. You know Hong Qigong, right? One of the Five Greats of the Song Dynasty. He won ten matches, went in to observe once, and came out saying that the martial arts there were indeed unparalleled..."
Even Hong Qigong said so, so it must be true.
Martial arts carved on the stone wall?
The ultimate martial art of the Free and Unfettered Sect?
Whether it's Lingjiu Palace or the Western Xia imperial palace, it seems there are inscriptions on both.
The Tai Xuan Jing in "The Knight Errant"?
Or is it Huang's "War God's Record" from the martial arts world?
This made Li Ping's heart flutter.
Leaving aside the unique skills of the Free and Unfettered Sect, I also acquired quite a few myself, so it's definitely worth a look.
The Tai Xuan Jing is undoubtedly one of the top martial arts techniques in the metal-based martial arts world.
Before he transmigrated, rumors circulated that it was a cultivation technique, and that "Brother Dog" had sunk the island.
Later, in order to verify this, Li Ping specifically looked up the original text and discovered that the stone wall was only shattered by the palm strikes of Shi Potian and the two island lords.
The other stone chambers were blown up by them with gunpowder; it's really not that outrageous.
But it's also a top-tier skill, and it's easy to learn; you just need to follow the lines. It's perfect for someone like me with average comprehension...
As for "The War God's Manual," if it's that kind of thing, then I definitely need to read it...
……
Ouyang Feng felt much more at ease standing on the arena.
Having previously encountered Zhang Wuji, Yin Ji ("Jellyfish"), and Li Ping, he suffered three hidden losses, leading him to believe that there were many masters everywhere in the future.
Although I have the will to catch up, I am also somewhat depressed.
Hearing that martial artists from all over the world had gathered in the capital, he didn't care about the Tatar masters or whether the emperor was dead or alive, and he came to join in the fun.
Who would have thought that the emperor would actually organize such a martial arts tournament?
Even that old beggar said that it contained truly unparalleled martial arts techniques, so I certainly wouldn't miss it.
As for promising to help the General Affairs Department with one thing, then let's do it.
Regardless of what kind of person Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, is, he will never go back on his promises; he certainly has the demeanor of a grandmaster!
He looked down at the crowd and said, "Is there no one else who dares to challenge me?"
We highly recommend this book to you: "Martial Arts World: That Night, Huang Rong Descended from the Sky". Read it here.
Because the rules are very strict: first you have to go on stage, you have to defeat someone, and then you become the champion.
Next, you must win ten consecutive matches before you will have the opportunity to observe the martial arts on the stone wall.
So, if no one comes up, I still can't get there...
But I should have known better than to be so ruthless.
Zuo Lengchan looked at Ouyang Feng and said to Fei Bin, "You go..."
Fei Bin was stunned: "Senior brother, how could I possibly be his match?"
Zuo Lengchan said, "Senior Ouyang's martial arts are indeed superb. Without his supernatural powers, I cannot defeat him, but I do not want to reveal my supernatural powers so early."
"You send him away, and then I'll challenge you again; I'll defend my title."
Fei Bin's eyes lit up. "Great idea!"
Just as he was about to go on stage, two figures flew up; they were two women.
While the two were still in the air, one of them swung his longsword. The sword light was so sharp and cold that it made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and they couldn't even think straight. It seemed that after this person swung his sword, they would have died!
The other person unleashed a palm strike, the force of which surged like a tidal wave, sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle, like the undercurrents of the ocean.
Then, the sword-wielding woman landed on the ground, shook her head, and said, "As expected of the Water Mother Yin Ji..."
Yin Ji landed on the arena and looked at the woman. Her heart raced. She was truly an absolute beauty!
She remembered that the woman was standing next to Wu Ming at the time.
When Li Ping provoked Wu Ming, the terrifying killing intent emanating from Wu Ming made her feel immense pressure.
Unexpectedly, the swordsmanship of a young woman beside her was so astonishing.
This clearly shows that Wu is extraordinary!
Yin Ji nodded slightly: "You're quite good at using this sword technique."
Those around were extremely astonished. The woman's swordsmanship was already incredibly sharp, radiating murderous intent, yet it was neutralized by another woman with a single palm strike. The other woman simply commented, "Not bad..."
The world is full of experts these days!
……
Inside the restaurant.
Lu Xiaofeng took a sip of wine and said, "I never imagined her swordsmanship was so superb! Even more unexpected is that besides you and Ye Gucheng, there are such master swordsmen!"
Ximen Chuixue remained silent.
Knowing his nature, Lu Xiaofeng added, "Don't you want to go on stage and try it out, and then see that unparalleled martial arts technique?!"
Ximen Chuixue sipped his water and shook his head, saying, "Martial arts is ultimately a process of inner cultivation. After listening to Master Zhang's teachings, I've already found my own path; all I need to do is walk it!"
Lu Xiaofeng then asked, "By the way, has Ye Gucheng arrived yet?"
Ximen Chuixue said, "I've heard of his name; he should be here! I just don't know if he'll actually come to the capital!"
downstairs!
Master Dingyi sighed: "In this world, extraordinary people have emerged, and the sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sects can no longer dominate the martial arts world."
"Our sect leader has been invited by the emperor to the palace to preach to him. Perhaps our senior sister can also see the peerless martial arts on that stone wall."
Master Dingjing said, "Obtaining the ultimate skill is secondary; the most important thing is to prevent the emperor from being assassinated by the Tatars."
"Three eminent monks from Shaolin Temple have already entered the palace to preach, and Master Chongxu of the Wudang School has also personally entered the palace to preach to the emperor."
"And there's Li Chenzhou, the commander of the General Affairs Division. Although he was defeated by Li Ping in one move, his cultivation is unfathomable."
"And then there's Qian Ning, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and Jiang Bin, the Earl of Pinglu. Although these two are treacherous villains, their martial arts skills are not weak. Although they haven't made a move in the martial arts world, they are probably no weaker than Senior Brother Zuo!"
"Now, absolutely no one can assassinate the Emperor!"
Abbess Dingyi angrily retorted, "You still call him 'Senior Brother'?!"
Abbess Dingjing sighed, "The arrival of extraordinary beings has brought about great changes to the world. The Five Mountains Sword Sects, now separated, are no longer able to compete with the heroes of the martial world!"
"Although I have no ambition to compete for supremacy, one is often caught in the web of power struggles in the martial world. Only by uniting the Five Sacred Mountains can we establish ourselves in this world!"
Master Dingyi remained silent. Although she was very unhappy, she had to admit that her senior sister was right!
Just then, she heard a voice: "Master!"
Master Dingyi turned her head and saw Li Ping. She smiled, a rare occurrence for her, and said, "This time, it's all thanks to Hero Li for exposing the Tatar conspiracy!"
Li Ping looked at the two on the arena and said, "People in the martial world can't control these intricate court politics, but we can't just watch the Tatars enter the pass!"
"Ouyang Feng's luck is comparable to Li Chenzhou's. And to make matters worse, he ran into Yin Ji again..."
"Keep it up, you old poisoner!"
