Chapter 589: The Loss of the Yin Flow

"Just like Lord Li."

Ji Tianrui said with a smile.

"Master Zhang Sanfeng's Xuanlan also links to the Jiezi. But unlike your 【Bottom Strength】, which takes brute force to the extreme and squeezes every bit of power from the bone marrow, 【Two Paths】 is a miraculous skill that takes the manipulation of force to the extreme."

"Ever since he mastered 【Two Paths】, in my knowledge, no one has been able to defeat him... If one wants to break his Taiji force, which he operates to perfection, I'm afraid it would take a mountain collapse or a meteorite hitting his head."

"He might not be able to defeat Master Monk, but Master Monk also cannot crush him, let alone kill him."

Li Miao closed his eyes and pondered for a while, practiced the moves of Taiji Quan with one hand, and finally let out a long sigh.

"One really cannot underestimate the heroes of the world."

"This miraculous skill of Master Zhang Sanfeng happens to restrain my fighting style... I really want to find him quickly and have a good fight with him!"

Ji Tianrui covered her mouth and chuckled.

"As expected of Lord Li."

"Master Zhang Sanfeng's strength is beyond doubt, and Master Monk, who was able to trap him in the Ise Grand Shrine for two hundred years, is definitely not easy to deal with. It will certainly be able to satisfy you... But these things are for later and can be put aside for now."

"Lord Li actually wants to ask if I know what Master Zhang Sanfeng did after he came to Dongying, and whether he left behind other backhands besides this sword move that can awaken the shrine maidens, right?"

"It's a pity, I don't know more."

Ji Tianrui sighed with a smile.

"After Master Zhang Sanfeng traveled east, it only took him half a day to conquer Kyoto. I think the sword move to awaken the shrine maidens was left behind at that time."

"But after that, he went straight to the Ise Grand Shrine. After leveling half the mountain, there was no more news of him... I can only be sure that he is definitely not dead yet."

Li Miao nodded.

"Sect Leader Ji is used to hiding things. I think the reason you are so certain that Master Zhang Sanfeng is still alive should have something to do with your experience of obtaining the Wudang Heaven-Man heritage... Until now, I still don't know what you did when you snuck into the Ise Grand Shrine."

He pointed to the priestess's robes on Ji Tianrui.

"Including why you have been wearing these clothes and not changing, and what the Xuanlan miracle you mastered is. Since you won't say, I'm too lazy to ask."

Their gazes met for an instant and then separated.

It was not the first time the two had cooperated and clashed. There was no need to spell things out; their attitudes were already clear.

Although Ji Tianrui had been acting as if she would let Li Miao do as he pleased and would grant anything he asked, while Li Miao seemed to be an ungrateful ingrate... but in fact, both knew very well that this was not the case.

Ji Tianrui must have mastered Xuanlan, but she had never said what her Xuanlan miracle was, and instead had been probing and investigating Li Miao's background, realm, and methods.

For a martial artist, the act of hiding weapons from a partner itself represents a threat and a probe. Although the two had cooperated several times, it had always only looked harmonious on the surface... In reality, they could clash at any time.

Li Miao pointed this out as a warning.

If Ji Tianrui made a threatening move, Li Miao would kill her without hesitation... even if this would lead to losing the help in dealing with Master Monk.

Everything was unspoken.

The two tacitly ended the conversation and turned their gazes back to the end of the corridor.

Li Miao shook his wrists.

"Returning to Kyoto from here and then going to the Ise Grand Shrine will take no more than five days. Five days later, everything in Dongying should have a result."

"This grand drama at Hachimangu should also be coming to an end."

Ji Tianrui nodded with a smile.

"Yes."

"Fortunately, Kurama Heihachi finally succeeded, which makes the effort I spent supplementing his sword art worthwhile."

Swish!

Kurama Heihachi's palm-blade slid down for the last time.

This was the final move.

Although Ji Tianrui had outstanding comprehension and held the Wudang Heaven-Man heritage, her preparation time was limited. Expanding from the original one move to over a dozen was already the limit.

Using his palm to swing the final move, the strength he had forcibly drummed up dissipated immediately, and countless lumps suddenly bulged on his skin.

Pfft, pfft, pfft... ===== CHAPTER 590 =====
