No taboos in the world

Chapter 131: Two Centenary Years of Beiming Qi, the Peak of Xixia Martial Arts

"Heh. It seems that the level of this martial art is not inferior to or even exceeds the Xiao Wuxiang Gong, otherwise it would be impossible to simulate."

"That's an exaggeration. It's also possible that it played a role in mediating and blending the three martial arts into one, thus surpassing the upper limit of the simulation of Xiao Wuxiang Gong."

"This... is not impossible." Li Qiushui nodded slightly, and then continued: "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi is to use the force of others to counter the force, and it is only the moves that are rebounded; Xiao Wu Xiang Gong is to imitate the operation of internal force to reproduce the same moves, but there will inevitably be deviations in the details; on the contrary, your revenge can actually return other people's moves doubled, at least in terms of actual combat effect, it is no less than Xiao Wu Xiang Gong."

"I don't deserve it. To put it bluntly, revenge requires the enemy to make a move before it can be retaliated, and it cannot be recorded and reproduced. However, the imitation of Xiao Wuxiang Gong is not a one-time thing. After imitating it once, it is like you have learned this martial art and can be repeated over and over again. This realm is far superior to revenge."

Li Qiushui smiled, but accidentally agitated her wound and coughed a few times. Then she turned her eyes slightly and said with a smile, "Have you ever thought about what it would be like if you could integrate Xiao Wuxiang Gong into it?"

Hong Chen pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, Xiao Wuxiang Gong is too strong. The difficulty of combining it with other skills will inevitably increase. Forcing it to work will probably be counterproductive and a waste of time. Moreover, the core of revenge is "revenge", and revenge means that the enemy will do it first and then we will do it. This has nothing to do with the core of Xiao Wuxiang Gong, and they are incompatible."

As he spoke, he had already arrived beside Li Qiu Shui.

Li Qiu Shui had her back against a giant tree, with nowhere to retreat.

Their eyes met.

Although Hong Chen had a smile in his eyes, Li Qiu Shui felt a chill in her heart.

"I just said that I would hit you one more time. Are you ready?" Hong Chen raised his palm and gathered his energy. The vast internal force roared like rolling waves, accompanied by the low sound of a dragon's roar.

Li Qiu Shui's pupils suddenly shrank. She could hear the noise and footsteps in the palace, and could see the flickering flames approaching quickly. But she also knew that before those people arrived, Hong Chen could kill her at least three times and still have enough time to evacuate easily.

"I lost this battle. How about I give you Xiao Wuxiang Gong to counter your palm?" she said quickly.

"not enough."

When Li Qiushui heard this, she was not annoyed but smiled instead.

If it’s not enough, then it can be discussed.

She asked, "What do you want?"

“Internal force.”

"You lack internal energy?" Li Qiu Shui's voice sounded somewhat unbelievable. For someone who practices Bei Ming Divine Art to lack internal energy would probably be something that would be ridiculed.

Hong Chen was also not annoyed. He smiled and said, "It seems that you have everything you need. Then give me all your internal energy." As he said that, he stretched out his hand.

"Wait!" Li Qiushui hurriedly stopped him, and said in shock: "Even if I have enough, you can't take it all. If you suck it all up, won't I just wait to die?"

"Why don't you just practice again or find someone to suck it back?"

Li Qiushui shook her head: "If it was really that easy, I would have absorbed thousands of years of internal energy over the years, so how could I be seriously injured by your palm strike?"

The human body has its limits.

The more internal energy you want to store, the stronger your physique needs to be.

In simple terms, if you want a swimming pool to hold more water, you have to continuously expand its capacity; and if you want to move more water smoothly and quickly, you need stronger and wider meridians.

However, the physique, Dantian and meridians cannot grow and strengthen indefinitely.

And as we age, the aging and functional decline of the human body cannot be stopped.

The martial arts of the Xiaoyao School can at best delay the aging process, while using powerful internal strength to maintain one's appearance unchanged.

In other words, Li Qiu Shui's body has now entered a period of decline. Her internal energy reserves can only be maintained with the help of the powerful martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect. It is impossible to increase it. In order to maintain her appearance, she has to practice diligently every day to make up for the consumption of internal energy in this regard.

Unless she can break through her current limits.

But she had already stayed at this state for decades, and could not even touch the threshold to go any further.

Even so, she has already stood at the pinnacle of this world.

After hearing this, Hong Chen's horizons were broadened a lot. At the same time, he became more wary of the Shaolin Sweeping Monk.

The old monk must have broken through his limits and entered another world, otherwise Hong Chen would not have felt the pressure that Li Qiu Shui could not give him.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Small Wuxiang Gong, White Rainbow Palm Power, and 70% of internal strength."

Li Qiushui couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. She left 30% of her internal strength, which was just enough to maintain her appearance and not affect her subsequent training and replenishment. This was just right for her bottom line, but it was a pity that in this way, she couldn't bother her senior sister for many years, and she had to hide.

"Deal! But don't worry, someone will be here soon. Once we send them off, I will naturally pass the Bei Ming Qi to you without you having to do anything."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw several people rushing towards her on the palace wall. They were obviously martial arts masters.

When the person landed, Hong Chen couldn't help laughing. They were all acquaintances.

Not to mention the four evil men for now, next to them is Murong Fu, who is dressed in armor and uses the alias "Li Yanzong".

And when they saw Hong Chen, they were obviously even more shocked.

After all, the four evil men had just met in Tianlong Temple half a month ago, and Murong Fu, who had not seen him for a month, was very frightened. He was afraid that Hong Chen would expose his identity, and he was even more afraid that Hong Chen would seek revenge on him. After all, his father was not with him now.

Murong Fu was feeling anxious, but Hong Chen just glanced at him and looked away. He turned to look at Duan Yanqing and asked with a smile, "Why are you coming back to Xixia if you are not the emperor in Dali?"

Duan Yanqing leaned on his crutches and bowed, then said: "Yu'er's ascension to the throne is a fact, Duan Zhengchun's reputation is ruined, and he has become a monk. My wish has been fulfilled, and I can live for myself from now on."

"I don't think so. Are you afraid that staying in Dali will cause trouble for Duan Yu?"

Duan Yanqing smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.

Hong Chen turned and asked, "How about Dao Baifeng?"

When this name was mentioned, Duan Yanqing's expression suddenly became complicated.

Over the past few decades, this woman was no different from a god in his heart, but after her true identity was revealed, he was surprised and delighted.

He is of the same generation as Duan Zhengchun, and Dao Baifeng is his sister-in-law. By sleeping with her, he had taken revenge decades earlier.

He wanted to take back the throne that was supposed to belong to him, but now his own son has inherited the throne. This is what a winner is.

"She...she also became a monk." Duan Yanqing said in a deep voice.

Hong Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh? You didn't go after him?"

Duan Yanqing shook his head repeatedly: "Sir, please don't laugh at me. If I really go to find her, Yu'er might not know what to do with herself."

"Okay." Hong Chen nodded and looked at Zhong Wanchou, "What about you? You don't want to lick it anymore?"

Zhong Wanchou was extremely embarrassed and lowered his head and said, "Baby... she also became a nun."

Hong Chen clicked his tongue twice and said no more.

At this time, Duan Yanqing said: "I know you have no intention to help me with the matter of Tianlong Temple, but the result is no different from a rebirth for me. I thank you very much, and if you have any mission in the future, no matter what it is, I will never refuse."

Hong Chen waved his hand and looked at Li Qiu Shui.

Li Qiushui stood up and said, "All of you go down and tell the emperor that today is a competition between masters and has nothing to do with politics. Ask him to withdraw those troops as soon as possible and not disturb the people."

"Yes!" The five of them obeyed in unison and turned around immediately.

Li Qiushui looked back at the hall, which was left with only its foundation, shook her head, and said, "Come with me."

They arrived at a brand new palace, and after lighting the lights, they sat opposite each other.

Li Qiushui said bluntly: "Let me make it clear first, I can give you 70% of my internal strength, but if your body can't accommodate it, then you can't blame me."

"Of course. If it can't hold it all, you don't have to give me the rest. But, how many years of Beiming Qi have you had in your body?" Hong Chen asked curiously.

Li Qiushui smiled proudly: "Three Jiazi."

Hong Chen was slightly surprised. This was more than he expected, because he himself only had eighty years of internal strength. He had previously speculated that Li Qiu Shui should have about one hundred and sixty years of internal strength, which was twenty years less.

One hundred and eighty years of internal energy may seem far less than what he absorbed in Dali, but that is the combined internal energy of seven old monks. Moreover, how can the quality of their true energy be compared with the true energy of Beiming?
He cupped his hands and praised: "I admire you, I admire you!"

Li Qiushui sneered at himself, "I have been practicing for more than eighty years. I have fought with countless people and absorbed their internal strength. With the help of the Xiao Wuxiang Gong, which is not inferior to the Beiming Divine Art, I have slowly accumulated nearly three decades of Beiming True Qi. But you are so young, but you have already accumulated Beiming True Qi for eighty years. You have also practiced the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to the peak and created your own ultimate state. I think it won't be long before you can surpass us and become the real number one in the world."

"Senior has given you too much praise."

"Now you know how to call me senior?" Li Qiushui rubbed his still aching chest, rolled his eyes, and said, "I see that you seem to be in great need of internal strength. If your body can bear it, perhaps I can make a deal with you."

When she stuck out her butt, Hong Chen immediately knew what she was going to say.

So he said bluntly: "My next stop is Tianshan Piaomiao Peak."

Li Qiushui's eyes lit up instantly, "Are you going to cause trouble for that dwarf?"

"It's just a competition, but if I win, I will still take 70% of her internal energy."

Li Qiushui calculated with her fingers, nodded and gave a suggestion: "You might as well wait another half a year. By then, when her power has dissipated, you can easily take her down. It will only take three months for her to recover her power, and you don't have to worry about her causing any trouble during this period."

Hong Chen shook his head and smiled: "I still hope to fight her head-on."

"You are quite confident." Li Qiushui said seriously, "Her internal strength is stronger than mine. I guess she has accumulated nearly four decades of internal strength. Moreover, her martial arts skills are not inferior to mine. Her strength is better than mine. Moreover, because of her martial arts skills, she is extremely cautious and careful. She will never fall into a trap like me. If you really want to compete with her, you must not be lucky. You have to defeat her head-on. Besides, if you lose, she will probably not let a master like you go. The life and death talisman cannot control people who practice Beiming Divine Art, so she will definitely kill you to eliminate the trouble forever."

There was no disguising the provocative intent in her words.

The love, hate and vengeance between this pair of sisters is also very frustrating.

Ultimately, it’s all Wuyazi’s fault.

I don’t know why Xiaoyaozi was attracted to such a disciple back then.

"Senior, there is no need to say more. Please quickly pass on your skills!"

Hong Chen stretched out his hand. Li Qiu Shui could no longer persuade him. She could only sigh softly and raised her hands to face Hong Chen's palms.

Immediately, the mighty Bei Ming true energy was slowly transmitted using his arms as a bridge. The escaping breath caused the two people's clothes to vibrate and the gauze curtains in the hall to flutter.

The Beiming true qi of the same attributes entered his body, and Hong Chen could quickly assimilate them without spending any effort.

The rapidly growing internal force gradually filled the Dantian.

A full hour later.

Li Qiu Shui's arms were limp and drooping, his originally straight back was slightly hunched, and beads of sweat were oozing out of his forehead.

"You really can absorb more than 120 years of internal energy. I underestimated you."

Hong Chen already has two hundred years of internal energy in his body, but at this moment he did not feel bloated, only because the properties of their internal energy were compatible, and Li Qiu Shui was willing to pass on her skills, so there was almost no obstacle in controlling it.

The sudden increase of two Jiazi of internal strength would not be as exaggerated as increasing the combat power by the same multiple. After all, Li Qiushui, who had three Jiazi of internal strength, was defeated by him, who had eighty years of internal strength.

But having strong internal strength also has countless benefits, the most obvious of which is self-healing. Li Qiu Shui's injuries were very serious, and she almost couldn't maintain her appearance. But after a brief conversation with Hong Chen just now, her injuries were almost healed.

Furthermore, his internal strength is deep and inexhaustible, so he can deal with group attacks calmly, and he should not run out of internal strength in the future.

Just thinking about the divine eyes and the power of thunder, he still felt it was not enough.

Without spiritual power to drive him, he could only continuously increase the amount of his internal power. Just like the old coal-burning trains and the electric-powered high-speed trains, even if the old trains burst, they couldn't run as fast as the high-speed trains, but the more coal they had, the farther they could run.

In addition, he felt that his body was about to reach the upper limit of its internal strength capacity. At this moment, he thought of Murong Bo.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique should be the best physical training skill in the world. I hope it will be useful by then.

Finally, the new blue ring appeared.
