I know you're here!
A sudden remark reached the waterfall, startling Kuhe!
Given his cultivation level, the fact that he couldn't detect the newcomer's aura indicates that this person possesses unparalleled lightness skills!
If it weren't for the different voices, Ku He would have thought it was Wu Zhu again, because the two of them were saying the same thing.
Kuhe dared not be careless and immediately walked to the waterfall, looking out through it.
A handsome young man with a dashing figure and extraordinary demeanor was also watching him from across the waterfall.
"It seems I'm really getting old; I didn't even know that such a young grandmaster had emerged in the martial arts world!"
Li Chang'an replied, "I am still a hair's breadth away from becoming a Grandmaster, but I should have no problem injuring you again."
Ku He sneered, "You have quite the nerve. Don't you know that my defense is the strongest among the four Grandmasters?"
"That's why I need to practice with you!" Li Chang'an said casually.
Ku He narrowed his eyes slightly, a surge of pride welling up within him.
Where did this kid come from? Does he really not regard Grandmasters as experts?
Chapter 124 Battle with Kuhe! Breakthrough to Grandmaster! Ranked second in martial arts! (33)
Li Chang'an put his hands behind his back, but released his internal energy, which blocked the water curtain in front of Ku He.
From a distance, it looks as if the waterfall has unveiled its curtain for the bitter lotus.
Name: Ku He
Age: 65 years old
Realm: Grandmaster
Talent: Martial Arts (Ninth Rank)
Abilities: Magic (Rank 8), Command (Rank 6), Preaching (Rank 6)
Emotion: 0
Note: Ranked 5th in the world in terms of military strength.
His talent lay entirely in martial arts; he dedicated his life to spreading Taoist teachings and was a devout ascetic who believed in the temple throughout his life.
The difference between grandmasters is not great, but the sophisticated systems still distinguish them.
If any two of the four grandmasters were to fight one-on-one, the outcome would be difficult to predict.
No grandmaster is confident that they can kill another grandmaster in one fell swoop. If a grandmaster tries to escape with all their might, they are not easy to catch.
Therefore, Emperor Qing devised a grand plan that would last for twenty years, solely to eliminate the Grand Master of Northern Qi and Dongyi City.
Seeing Li Chang'an's precise control of true qi from several feet away, Ku He was shocked!
He could sense that Li Chang'an's true energy was being released from acupoints in his body, a strange method that he himself could not replicate.
"Wait a minute, I'll come out and fight you!"
Kuhe had completely destroyed his secluded dwelling during his previous fight with Wuzhu, so he learned his lesson this time.
"laugh!"
Just as Kuhe was about to emerge from the waterfall, a burst of Shaoze sword energy suddenly rushed towards him!
The powerful Six Meridians Divine Sword came straight at him, and Ku He instantly activated his true energy, causing the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) to condense into an energy shield around him.
The sword energy struck the protective barrier, but was deflected and scattered, once again shattering the cave where Ku He had secluded himself for cultivation.
Kuhe was furious after being ambushed and having his cave destroyed.
"Young man, how dare you launch a sneak attack! How can you be so uncivilized!"
Li Chang'an was delighted when he saw Ku He's protective aura. "As expected of a Grandmaster with the strongest defense, he was able to directly block the Six Meridians Divine Sword!"
The protective aura surrounding Ku He vanished instantly, and he slowly flew out from the waterfall.
"Six Meridians Divine Sword, what a majestic name!"
"Your martial arts combine Ye Liuyun's external release of true qi with Si Gu Jian's sword intent for killing enemies."
The ability to project one's true energy is something all four Grandmasters can do.
However, the only technique that allows true qi to be projected the furthest and is used as a primary means of attack is Ye Liuyun's Flowing Cloud Scattered Hand.
"Whether you have real skills or just some fancy moves, let this old man test your Grandmaster level!"
As he spoke, Ku He thrust out with one hand, and a huge handprint slammed into the spot where Li Chang'an was standing.
"Boom!"
Trees were broken! Rocks were crushed! The ground was dented a meter deep!
The area within a hundred feet of Li Chang'an was turned into a huge crater, a scene of utter devastation, with smoke and dust flying everywhere!
This is the true power of a grandmaster!
If there were an army with low cultivation levels here, Ku He could kill more than a thousand people with a single palm strike!
This kind of large-scale killing is completely different from Wu Zhu's killing method.
When Li Chang'an read the original novel in his previous life, he compared the Grandmasters of the human race to spaceships.
Electromagnetic guns, nuclear warheads, and antimatter weapons are emerging one after another. A single warhead can destroy millions of warships or even directly destroy a planet.
Wu Zhu is like a water droplet, with an ingenious and flawless interior. Although it can only smash warships one by one, it can still destroy millions of warships!
Although Wu Zhu lacks true qi and his fighting style is simple and unadorned, his overall destructive power is no less than that of Ye Liuyun, who can cleave a building with a single sword.
To Ku He's surprise, Li Chang'an did not dodge, but instead soared up like a bird!
He was surrounded by a thick layer of true energy, and his body surface emitted a faint blue light!
The True Qi Shield is the ability of the Northern Darkness True Qi to protect the body, and the blue light on the body surface is the Blue-level Floating Pagoda of the fifth cycle of the Yi Jin Jing!
Ku He couldn't help but exclaim, "What powerful true energy! Your protective true energy is not much weaker than my Heavenly Dao Technique!"
"Moreover, your physical body seems to have cultivated a powerful external martial arts technique, which is truly extremely strange!"
As he sighed, Li Chang'an had already swiftly arrived beside him and then struck out with a palm, aiming straight for Ku He's face!
Kuhe's true energy shield instantly popped out, and he moved swiftly, narrowly avoiding the palm strike.
This palm strike grazed Ku He's aura shield and actually created a large patch of ice shards!
Ku He also felt that Li Chang'an's true energy was icy cold and penetrating to the bone, like thin icicles that could penetrate anywhere!
"Oh!"
Li Chang'an struck out with both hands, landing another palm firmly on Ku He's true energy shield.
This palm strike, however, faintly sparked, and Ku He felt as if he were in magma, his whole body burning intensely!
After mastering the Northern Darkness True Qi, one's meridians can nourish and store True Qi, and with proficiency, one becomes immune to all poisons.
After achieving minor success, one's true qi protects the body; after achieving major success, one can absorb the true qi of others and the primordial energy of heaven and earth without any side effects.
Now that it has reached perfection, its true energy possesses both yin and yang qualities. Its yang energy is as scorching as a furnace, while its yin energy is several times colder than ice, and it is compatible with all martial arts in the world.
Li Chang'an possessed profound inner energy and exquisite palm techniques, far exceeding Ku He's expectations.
The two exchanged more than a dozen moves in an instant. Ku He marveled at the wonder of Li Chang'an's martial arts, while Li Chang'an also felt that Ku He's tortoise shell was hard and thick enough.
Fighting a human Grandmaster is completely different from fighting Wu Zhu.
In the blink of an eye, the hilltop beneath their feet had been almost completely flattened, and the cave where Ku He had lived in seclusion had vanished without a trace.
Ku He exclaimed in admiration, "The younger generation is truly formidable. In my opinion, you cannot break through my defenses..."
Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that Li Chang'an was emitting a faint white light, which was completely different from the blue light he used when defending!
The previous blue-level pagoda was a powerful physical defense, but the current white-level pagoda is sharp and aggressive!
As expected, Li Chang'an concentrated his true energy into six acupoints in front of him and actually used these acupoints to unleash the Six Meridian Divine Sword!
This unexpected move caught Ku He completely off guard. With the sword energy shooting right in front of him and about to engulf him, there was no time to escape!
"Young man, such a strong killing intent!"
Ku He let out a soft shout, then stirred the primordial energy of heaven and earth with both hands, causing the true energy shield around him to expand three times again!
This technique is a method of Western magic!
This was also Ku He's trump card move; within the massive true qi shield around him, the primordial energy of heaven and earth and his acquired true qi were completely integrated.
The defensive and regenerative capabilities of this layer of true energy shield represent the limit that humans can achieve in this world!
Of course, this move also consumed half of Ku He's true energy!
Li Chang'an's Six Meridians Sword Qi failed to penetrate Ku He's defense, only creating gaps in the Qi shield!
At this moment, Ku He noticed that Li Chang'an smiled strangely, which made Ku He uneasy.
In the blink of an eye, Li Chang'an suddenly flashed into the thick true energy shield of Ku He!
Ku He stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered by Li Chang'an's tactics!
