Chapter 306
Bai Lang's chest was pierced by the Form-Empty Sword, but the sword tip could not pierce the flesh at all—Shi Fuxuan's power was insufficient to drive the treasure sword in, although she could, relying on sword-heart clarity, directly sense the dead point of Bai Lang's internal energy. This nun drew her sword extremely fast, and her reaction was likewise; Bai Lang only saw a flash before his eyes, and this nun had already decisively jumped off the building preparing to flee. This made Bai Lang chuckle, "Running? Fine, you can run, monk, but you can't escape the temple!"
It must be said that although his martial arts are not great, Shi Fuxuan's Lightness Skill is truly excellent, and his mind is also quite agile—if one strike misses, he does not continue probing but simply flees far away. As for Li Er, who was just considered the world's Ming sovereign... Who is he? Is the nun acquainted with him?
Shi Fuxuan might be the highest expert among those present besides Bai Lang; her fleeing, Bai Lang certainly could not Transform into Mad Wind due to his Lightness Skill being restricted, thus unable to block her, but others were stopped by this woman. Originally Shi Fuxuan relied on the sword-heart clarity technique; although she could not wound Bai Lang for a moment, she could indeed use her small yet fierce swordsmanship to block Bai Lang—Bai Lang could sense that this Shi Fuxuan's swordsmanship could break internal energy.
Bai Lang's internal energy would be gradually shattered by her swordsmanship, and the speed is not slow; continuing the fight, it is not impossible to wound Bai Lang. "The so-called fleeing one, directly dismantling the true qi blades that emanate from my body? Moreover, my attacks can also, through continual attacks, dismantle the dead points of true qi flow, thereby making my attacks grow weaker." Bai Lang knows that regardless, Shi Fuxuan cannot escape; the Jing Nian Chan Monastery outside Luoyang City is their base.
It's possible that four Buddhist Sect holy monks are also there, after all the place houses the Imperial Jade Seal, and having more guards wouldn't be excessive—Bai Lang thinks that this bunch of nuns and the Buddhist Sect's old scoundrels likely have harbored disloyal intentions for a long time; even though Emperor Wen of Sui revered Buddhism so much, he never saw them offer up the Imperial Jade Seal...
The remaining Li Shimin and Li Shining are also capturable but not killable—Bai Lang also thinks that if he personally takes on the world's top experts and leaves, he might still need Li Er to clean up the aftermath—at least Li Er's ability to govern has been proven in history. However, this does not prevent Bai Lang from frightening him a bit; perhaps someone will voluntarily challenge Bai Lang to save Li Shimin. Thinking of this, Bai Lang cannot help but smile.
His smile directly made everyone present feel a chill down their spine, for the feeling was essentially that a man-eating beast had actually laughed. Next, Bai Lang moved; as his body shifted, he stirred up a gust of mad wind and lunged straight at Li Shimin and the others before him. Logically speaking, Li Shimin himself counts as a brave general; later, when he defeated Dou Jiande and others, he always personally rode his warhorse and led cavalry charges, and he once said that Yuchi Jingde wielded the horse spear while he wielded the bow and arrow, their coordination making any assault unstoppable.
However, Li Shimin's martial arts before Bai Lang are truly not worth a single blow; they are roughly on par with Li Shining's, inferior to Hong Fu Lady naturally, and also inferior to the other two guards—Li Jing's martial arts are only slightly better than Li Shimin's. Among them, the highest in martial arts is that middle-aged man—Li Shimin's paternal uncle Li Shentong. Yet even when Li Shentong transforms his hand into a spear and thrusts with all his might, Bai Lang grabs it with one palm, then seizes the man's hand and flings him.
The few Li clan men immediately withdrew their moves; Li Shentong was invaded by Bai Lang's Southern Dipper White Tiger Fist internal energy, his whole body unable to move, his bones and meridians feeling as if pierced by ten thousand blades or as if steel rebar ran through them segment by segment, and thus he was immobilized. Bai Lang used him as a weapon, sweeping horizontally; the result was utter chaos, and after Bai Lang let go and threw him aside, he ended up rolling in a heap. "Alright, stop making a fool of yourselves—just come along with me obediently—you should have felt the decisive gap in martial arts by now."
Bai Lang crossed his arms, his words carrying a hint of disdain, "Do you really think my martial arts that trample thousands of armies are fake?"
At this moment he turned his head to look at the Twin Dragons, "You two little worms didn't leave—well, it's no wonder your martial arts are still low; being stunned for a moment by my awe-inspiring killing intent is just what you deserve, so let's go together. What's wrong with learning to rebel? Can one eat food indiscriminately, can one speak nonsense?" Indeed, that's the case; these two's martial arts are still not high—at least Kou Zhong's treasure sword seems not yet obtained, and Xu Zi Ling certainly has not cultivated the Nine-Character Mantra.
Therefore they were suppressed by Bai Lang's aura, their thoughts and true qi slowed just a bit, and that slight delay made them now captives. Of course Kou Zhong is thick-skinned; although not to the point of calling someone dad exaggeratedly, calling everyone big brother and uncle carries no shame—moreover, at least half of their martial arts comes from the manuals Bai Lang threw at them, so it's only natural to call him their teacher.
Moreover, isn't it that Wei Zhenzhen has become Bai Lang's maid? Xu Zi Ling is fine, but Kou Zhong's lewd mind has already imagined at least thirty-six different poses between Wei Zhenzhen and Bai Lang, so he now wants to shout "brother-in-law"—if Kou Zhong didn't have a star-shaped face, he could probably spout all kinds of flattery like those Viscount Wei types, just begging Bai Lang to let him go.
This kid Kou Zhong is also quite interesting—sometimes he's shameless, sometimes he's as stubborn as if his brain had been beaten by a gun. Bai Lang eyes the two before him; it's obvious Xu Zi Ling cares about his image and is more like a scholar, while Kou Zhong is just a stinking rascal. "Too bad, too bad—he's ultimately not enough of a rascal, otherwise he might not be unable to become Liu Lao San." Bai Lang finally sighed, "Go on, go on, I know you two brats love to stir up trouble—Luoyang's waters run deep now, you two can wander the brothels and ruin yourselves, that's fine enough. Scram."
These two brats stirring up trouble should also bring vitality and change to the world; for now it's still not the time for Bai Lang to let these guys turn around and fight him, in order to seek various ideas and thoughts. "These two bad embryos must be hunted long-term before they can become a generation of masters. Too bad shattering the void ultimately cannot be achieved." Bai Lang also has his own view on the so-called shattering the void—it should be a breakthrough of power beyond its limit.
"So just beam them into the universe to suffocate and be done with it—this world can meanwhile recover some materials—I think the vital energy of heaven and earth is also endless circulation, and later I don't know if it will gradually dissipate." Bai Lang thought, as Kou Zhong this kid kept glancing at Li Shining before leaving, but he ultimately didn't dare say whether he could let him take Li Shining along—afraid that if he spoke those words Bai Lang would slap him to death. "Ah yeah, you don't tell me how would I know? Although you always peek at her secretly, you still have to tell me you want to take her along..." Bai Lang himself felt he had raised a fly, buzzing around his own mind.
