otherwise, Lan Ruoyun would not have been able to become a beauty famous throughout the jianghu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man waiting in the martial arts arena was the Lan family ancestor, a Grandmaster of his generation—Lan Tingzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Tingzhou's appearance and demeanor were both extraordinary, but the first thing anyone saw upon entering the arena was not him, but the long sword he was using to prop himself up against the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extremely sharp sword intent was like a physical substance, enveloping the entire arena, as if it had sliced through space itself, making the arena completely independent from the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every martial artist except for Li Fei sensed the danger immediately and did not dare to take a single step into the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Fei's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Lan Tingzhou's attitude toward this battle was very serious, and he did not intend to just go through the motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused Lan Mingqian, who was to the side, to reveal a look of worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own ancestor had been stuck at the Divine Extension Realm for many years, while Li Fei had killed a Peak Realm Xu Jing single-handedly before he had even broken through his own realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the battle at Baifeng Plain, he had even killed the Hook-Deep Sword Master, Bai Chen, single-handedly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Li Fei's realm had reached an even higher level, Lan Mingqian did not believe his own ancestor was Li Fei's match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, since Li Fei was visiting in the capacity of the Pavilion Master of the Blue Patrol Pavilion this time, it was clear that his intentions were not really about the wine; the duel was not the main point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, everyone should just have a casual spar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Lan Tingzhou putting on such a serious display, if he were to provoke Li Fei into becoming serious as well, it would be difficult to bring the matter to a close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Lan Mingqian could not decide anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei stepped forward without hesitation and walked into the martial arts arena:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Senior Lan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stepped into the arena, everything outside disappeared;

Li Fei had witnessed it in the hands of Lan Ruoyun outside the train station back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Used now in the hands of Lan Tingzhou, it was perfectly integrated with his Martial Arts Domain; Li Fei could not even perceive the Martial Arts Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world in his eyes had been magnified dozens of times; the surrounding sea of clouds surged, mountain mists stood tall, and ancient pine trees grew upon the cliffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding mountain mists were like ink blots spreading out; only black and white remained in Li Fei's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient pines by the cliff moved without wind, and the pine needles they shook off transformed into strands of sword Qi, merging with the floating clouds in the mountain streams; wisps of cloud like sea tides surged toward Li Fei from all directions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden light bloomed from within Li Fei's body, shrouding a radius of a hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unfolded the [Primordial Sword Realm], but deliberately reduced the range of the sword realm, using it only to resist the opponent's Martial Arts Domain so that he would not be unable to even use his divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he did not rely on the strength of the [Primordial Sword Realm] to suppress the opponent's Martial Arts Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei wanted to let Lan Tingzhou execute these three swords completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless cloud wisps entered the [Primordial Sword Realm], all turning into nothingness, like a dream or a bubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei's perception was fully open, yet he failed to capture a single trace of a dangerous aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the golden light on his body shook violently, struck continuously by invisible sword Qi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This sword is named [Cloud Ink].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Tingzhou's voice entered the sword realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move was derived from [Cloud Sea Hiding the Sword] and had gone a step further, merging with the changes of the Martial Arts Domain and the Divine Derivation Realm;

with the sword momentum already accumulated to its peak, it had gone a step further!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This [Cloud Rain] move had not actually reached the Creation Realm, but Lan Tingzhou had made changes on the basis of [Cloud Ink], perfectly inheriting the momentum of the previous sword, making it so that although it had not reached the Creation Realm, its power could go a step further!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such ingenuity gave Li Fei new ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably could not break through his Dao power to the Creation Realm in a short time, but he could learn from Lan Tingzhou and use various means to stack sword momentum, thereby taking the power of his sword technique a step further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei raised his right hand; mountain peaks and rivers were generated within the [Primordial Sword Realm], then turned into billions of golden rays that gathered in his hand, forming a three-foot sword blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thrust his sword toward the firmament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountains and rivers defied the momentum, breaking through the firmament!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Tingzhou's tone had a bit more excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he recognized that this sword of Li Fei was exactly the Creation sword technique of the Hook-Deep Sword Sect—\"Great Thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not expected Li Fei to have mastered this sword technique; this undoubtedly made up for his regret of not being able to duel Bo Chen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword momentum condensing the Great Thousand World pierced the firmament, dispersing the ink clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Li Fei's \"Great Thousand\" had not reached the Creation Realm, the terrifying strength of the [Primordial Sword Realm] was enough to compensate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cloud Rain] was thus broken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But immediately after, thousands of mountains and rivers poured back from the broken firmament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven and earth were inverted, reversing the cosmos!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lan family's ultimate technique—[Lan Cause, Fluff Fruit]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Creation sword technique was somewhat similar to counter-damage divine abilities like [Thorn Armor], but the difference was that it did not rebound the force, but the move itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cloud ink turned into rain, lingering between the mountains and rivers, covering Li Fei together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Tingzhou was equivalent to adding his own power on top of Li Fei's \"Great Thousand\" sword, and then rebounding it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timing was grasped perfectly; it was as if Li Fei had punched himself with all his might, and he had no time to dodge or change his move to defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Grandmaster of the Dao Establishment Realm were to come instead, they might truly have been injured by this strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Fei simply and easily activated a divine ability to break this move—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two large golden characters, like two great talismans, appeared out of thin air between heaven and earth, instantly suppressing the incoming mountains, rivers, and ink-wash clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pacify Peace]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the borders of the Great Lan Dynasty, with the boost of battle power, a great force was generated out of thin air, forcibly blocking the counterattack from Lan Tingzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a breath, the power of the [Pacify Peace] divine ability was shattered, but it had bought Li Fei enough time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew his Ghost-Slaying Blade and slashed upward, the scorching force dyeing the heavens and earth a crimson red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heaven and Earth Single Blade]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the blade, the mountains, rivers, ink-wash clouds, and misty rain all dissipated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the martial arts arena, all the brilliant light faded away, revealing the figures of the two men once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Tingzhou had already sheathed his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the young man not far away, his expression filled with emotion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly worthy of being the first in history; this old man has lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He voluntarily conceded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, if Li Fei hadn't intentionally held back to let him perform just now, he would have been defeated even faster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You flatter me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei cupped his hands in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also very satisfied with this battle; not only had he witnessed two styles of Creation Realm Dao force, but it had also broadened his perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he had a preliminary estimate of his own combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, while exchanging blows with Lan Tingzhou, he hadn't consumed a single Blood Soul, nor had he used his strongest offensive means—[Blood Rage] + [Dragon Elephant]—and yet he had defeated his opponent so easily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In Pavilion Master Li's opinion, if I were to face Bai Chen, would I have a chance of winning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Tingzhou suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei thought for a moment: \"If it were a contest within the same realm, you would have a thirty percent chance of winning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty percent, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Tingzhou was first despondent, then laughed loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So be it; to have been able to fight Pavilion Master Li, I have no regrets in this life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the conversation between the two, the people on the sidelines had varied expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew that Lan Tingzhou likely couldn't beat Li Fei, but they had assumed both sides would at least be able to trade blows for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they hadn't expected that in less than three minutes, a Grandmaster-level duel would end just like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, as everyone looked at Li Fei's back, the awe in their eyes grew even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Ruoyun felt deeply moved upon hearing her ancestor say the words 'no regrets in this life'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might think that Lan Tingzhou was voluntarily flattering Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as someone who had once fought Li Fei, she immediately understood what Lan Tingzhou meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps before long, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to fight Li Fei!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, while Li Fei had not yet reached the pinnacle, being able to fight him once was indeed a fortunate event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Lan Tingzhou invited Li Fei to sit down and drink tea, while Lan Mingqian, Lan Ruoyun, and others kept them company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Grandmasters exchanged some insights on martial arts, and the atmosphere was harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Buddhist sect is rampant, plotting rebellion and regicide; as the Pavilion Master of the Blue Patrol Pavilion, I wish to gather the strength of the martial arts world to share the nation's burdens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a certain moment, Li Fei took the initiative to mention this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Lan Tingzhou: \"I wonder if the Lan family is willing to contribute?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Tingzhou looked at Lan Mingqian nearby: \"For these years, this old man has been obsessed with the Dao of martial arts and has long since ceased interfering in family affairs. Since Pavilion Master Li has this intention, you might as well discuss it with Mingqian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Li Fei also looked at Lan Mingqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Mingqian's expression was gentle as he smiled: \"My Lan family has received the favor of the imperial court, and many family members serve as officials in the court, so naturally, we are willing to contribute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He agreed very readily, but soon began to describe his family's difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Fei only wanted the Lan family to send a few experts to join the Blue Patrol Pavilion, he would certainly have agreed without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Fei wanted the Lan family to stand with the imperial court to deal with the Buddhist sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not a simple matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Mingqian spoke for a long time, but the meaning behind his words was only one—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Fei could take the relationship with the Lan family a step further, then the Lan family would naturally be willing to help with all their might!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The implication of these words was already very obvious; Lan Ruoyun, who was to the side, lowered her head to drink tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had originally thought she would be shy and annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed... she didn't feel any aversion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",4653,"2026-06-25T10:09:36.004Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","64fbc18ddd446eb3526564947877966f3bafd5cf1264980509609f0e1ec185ab","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-860","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-858",895,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-cover.jpg"]
