Chapter 236: What Wu Gong

"Pah! Enough power!"

Li Miao struck out with a punch, colliding with the Emperor's right fist in mid-air, and the aftermath lifted the ground within a yard. He took the opportunity to withdraw and retreat, spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood, and said with a cold laugh.

"Is this the first time Lord Li has fought an opponent stronger than himself?"

Ji Tianrui held her severed arm, aligned it with the wound, and the flesh and blood intertwined; in a moment, the severed limb was reattached. She shook her arm and turned to smile at Li Miao.

"It is indeed the first time; before, I always felt that hitting children was meaningless, and I had to hold back my strength, fearing that I would kill them in one blow and have nothing to play with. I didn't expect there would be a tough nut waiting for me all along."

"Today is finally satisfying."

Li Miao secretly mobilized the "Li Family Wedding Dress Divine Art," and the wounds on his body slowly healed.

For the three people—Li Miao, Ji Tianrui, and the Emperor—who were fighting head-on, "injury" was no longer a factor in determining the outcome.

The Emperor had four paths perfected, and Li Miao and Ji Tianrui were also "pseudo" three-path perfected. Sumeru true energy was endless, and they were not lacking in healing cultivation methods; as long as it was not a vital part like the heart, dantian, or head, the injuries would disappear in an instant.

The basis for judging the result of the three people's struggle was the position of the boundary line between the Jianwen Emperor's and the Emperor's "Jizhao" illusions on the plaza.

Li Miao lowered his head and swept a glance.

This boundary line, under the advance of Li Miao and Ji Tianrui, not only did not advance toward the front, but instead forced toward the Jianwen Emperor by several feet.

And this was still the result of the Emperor taking a defensive stance for the vast majority of the time, unwilling to reveal a single flaw in front of the two.

The Emperor was actually able to suppress the two working together while maintaining the illusion and competing with the Jianwen Emperor in heart and spirit!

"This is not easy to handle."

Li Miao said with a light laugh, but there was no smile in his eyes, and his gaze wandered over the Emperor.

The Emperor had no flaws.

The union of three paths was perfect, and even because of the combination of Nature and Life, the performance was even better than the realm Li Miao perfected. There was no shortcoming of needing to switch realms during battle, and every move was Sumeru true energy, Vajra tendons and bones, and Jiezi strength.

If it weren't for Ji Tianrui and Li Miao supporting each other, making it impossible for the Emperor to fully activate every move, the two would not just be breaking an arm or spitting some blood.

And the Taizu Emperor collected martial arts from all over the world when the country was founded, and they were originally placed in the Imperial Palace; the collection was far broader than any sect. The martial arts the Emperor knew were naturally far more than Li Miao and Ji Tianrui.

As soon as the two made a move, the Emperor had already changed his moves to prepare to crack it; and when the Emperor made a move, the two did not necessarily recognize it, and could only take two or three hits before they could analyze the method to crack it.

Not to mention, for the two to fight the Emperor, they had to enter the half of the illusion that belonged to the Emperor. Sounds and light were all false and real, and they had suffered a few muffled losses in surprise.

Li Miao twisted his fingers and pondered secretly.

The original plan of him and Ji Tianrui was that the Emperor had lived in the deep palace for a long time and should not have much experience in fighting others. Under the two's step-by-step pressure, perhaps there would be some flaws in the connection of moves, and the two could use this to lay the foundation for victory.

But, they had miscalculated.

The Emperor did not lack experience in fighting others.

He should have often pulled attendants into his illusion to fight with them, using this to hone his martial arts. His moves were extremely proficient, and he did not lack the decisiveness of making choices during battle.

Realm, martial arts, moves, experience.

Everything was above Li Miao and Ji Tianrui.

To deal with such an opponent, there was no way to take shortcuts.

"I've touched the bottom."

Li Miao said.

"Yes."

Ji Tianrui reached into her waist, grasped her belt, and slowly pulled out a soft sword.

"Although I had expected his realm, when we really fought, I still felt there was no way to start."

"To deal with him, there is no way to take shortcuts. Only by exchanging injury for injury, and life for life."

Li Miao let out a cold laugh.

"He knows far more than we do. Wanting to use other people's martial arts to drill into his flaws is already impossible."

"Sect Leader Ji, you should have a set of self-created martial arts, right?"

"Of course, hasn't Lord Li also been hiding it and not using it?"

Ji Tianrui smiled.

"Then use it."

Li Miao said.

"Since there are no flaws, we can only smash it hard."

After saying that, Li Miao slowly clenched his fists, one hand raised to his chest, and one hand held at his waist.

Ji Tianrui flourished her sword, pointing it at the Emperor.

The Emperor scanned the two and lifted his hand.

He beckoned to the two.

*Peng!!! *

*Peng!!! *

In an instant, two thunderous roars! The ground exploded into two deep pits, each a yard square! Broken stones splashed out, piercing the air and making a shrill sonic boom!

Li Miao had already arrived in front of the Emperor!

His left fist smashed toward the Emperor's face!

The Emperor lifted his hand, which was a "Luan Que Wei" move, blocking Li Miao's fist edge. His arm vibrated several times in an instant, and he had already unloaded Li Miao's strength with soft energy.

Then he turned his hand and hooked, hooking onto Li Miao's arm bend! He split his fingers into claws, intending to dig into Li Miao's flesh!

*Peng!!! *

*Deng deng deng deng! *

The Emperor retreated several steps, revealing an expression of astonishment for the first time.

But he had no time to be surprised, because Ji Tianrui had already arrived behind him!

The Emperor turned around and smashed down with a punch, intending to smash Ji Tianrui's skull directly.

"Heh."

Ji Tianrui let out a light laugh, and the soft sword entangled along the Emperor's arm like a vine, intending to stab into his armpit. At the same time, a piece of rice-sized flying insects flew out of Ji Tianrui's sleeve, rushing toward the Emperor's face!

The Emperor's pupils shrank, and his right arm, which was entangled with the soft sword, actually bent directly, locking the soft sword firmly in his arm bend, regardless of the wound cut by the soft sword on his arm.

His left hand formed a palm and swept out. Surging true energy waved, forcing back both the Gu insects rushing toward his face and Ji Tianrui!

*Shua! *

Ji Tianrui suddenly pulled out her short sword, leaving a deep spiral wound on the Emperor's arm. Her whole body flashed behind the Emperor like a shadow, and the soft sword twisted and wiggled like a living thing, like an antelope's horns, unpredictable, stabbing toward the Emperor's vital points.

And at this moment, Li Miao also arrived at the Emperor's side, his body swaying in an instant, and a move similar to the Baji Quan "Tie Shan Kao" smashed directly toward the Emperor's shoulder.

The Emperor's pupils shrank, knowing he had been careless for a moment and had fallen into a perilous situation. No longer hesitating, he lifted and dropped his hands, and his majestic true energy erupted!

*Boom!!! *

He actually struck the ground directly!

In an instant, dust flew, obscuring their vision.

Several loud noises came from within, and the Emperor flashed out of the dust.

Looking again, his right arm was covered in blood, and the clothing on his left chest was damaged, revealing a patch of blue and purple.

The Emperor, who had been pressing Li Miao and Ji Tianrui and beating them, had suddenly fallen into a disadvantage and was injured!

The Emperor looked at Li Miao and Ji Tianrui, who walked out of the dust, and white smoke rose from his body, his injuries slowly healing.

He slowly spoke.

"What martial arts are these?"
