Chapter 113: Chapter 103: Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon Grand Outline

Collect the essence of the Eight Desolates, grasp the subtlety of Yin and Yang, perform the transformation of the Dragon, unite with the impermanence of human hearts, embrace the pure Yang of the mental realm, and with the Divine Fire anchored in the heart, roam the four seas freely, transcending the mundane world.

This grand outline begins with clarity, though it is a fire-element cultivation technique, it contains the subtlety of Yin and Yang and the transformation of the Dragon, which is most exquisite.

At this moment, he visualized this Jade Belt River as a Divine Dragon, treading on the high waves was like riding the Dragon, a gift from a Half-Step Celestial Human realm expert, allowing him to grasp the subtle changes within.

Lu Chengfeng let out a long laugh, the bow of the boat rose, the speed increased sharply, and it was actually a few points faster than Li Chengqian, the distance between them shrinking rapidly.

Seeing the enemy riding the wind and breaking the waves towards them, Li Xiaoyun’s face immediately showed a grave expression, “The Handsome Yama has caught up, if the speed of the boat is disturbed by him and even overturned, both you and I will die here.”

“Chengqian, I will cover you, you must leave on the boat quickly.

Li Chengqian’s eyes turned red, gritting his teeth, he said: “Uncle, I am also a martial artist who has cultivated the true intent of the martial path, how can I be a coward who flees at the sight of danger?”

“I will face the enemy alongside you, a mere death, what is there to fear?”

“If you only know how to act with reckless bravery, then all the family’s years of cultivation would be in vain.” Li Xiaoyun said indifferently, “A true man can be flexible, only by leaving with a useful body can you make a comeback.”

“Even if you stay, it’s just another life lost, when that happens, with two top experts dead, the family’s power crumbles, do you think those enemies will spare the other members of the family?”

“My potential has been exhausted, but you still have hope to achieve half-step celestial human, as long as you can survive, today’s battle won’t be a complete defeat.”

“There will be a chance for revenge in the future!”

“Uncle!” Li Chengqian exclaimed in shock, but saw Li Xiaoyun already leaping, stepping on the waves, rushing directly towards Lu Chengfeng’s position.

“Ah…”

Li Chengqian roared up to the sky, his face full of grief and rage, but he gritted his teeth and quickly maneuvered the boat, fleeing towards the riverbank.

Lu Chengfeng’s mind was as clear as a mirror, although he hadn’t begun cultivating the Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon, after digesting the gift, his mental realm, understanding of the world and the martial path were improving constantly.

Facing the night wind, his clothes fluttering, his mind immersed in the insights of the Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon on the natural world and the application of power changes.

Li Xiaoyun, with decades of bitterly cultivated inner family True Qi, unleashed it to its peak at this moment, his palm filled with Gang Qi and electricity, roaring and charging forwards.

Both sides were very fast, within a blink the distance closed to five fathoms.

Lu Chengfeng struck the river water with a wooden oar at an undetectable high speed, yet did not splash even a drop of water.

The sound of “thump thump” was incessant, this small boat unexpectedly stopped abruptly at such high speed, Lu Chengfeng propelled the oar, his body soaring into the air.

Li Xiaoyun let out a long whistle, the water waves behind his treaded foot surged into a white line, his whole body breaking forward through the waves, his palm’s Gang Qi surging and crashing down as if growing with the wind.

Lu Chengfeng laughed skyward, his feet tapped on the river like solid ground to rebound, twisting his waist in mid-air, simultaneously, water waves shot up, cascading like pouring rain, as if he vanished within the water spray.

Swordsmanship’s killer moves, the impermanence of life and death, ghosts know not.

Li Xiaoyun’s palm seemed to push forward slowly yet quickly, the thick Gang Qi actually transformed into a transparent wall, perfectly blocking his torso.

As they were not fighting on solid ground, such exquisite calculation and control of power was beyond the imagination of ordinary experts.

The continuous sound of “ding ding dang dang” resonated.

Two human figures collided, sword light and palm wind churned, electric light and water waves intertwined, even the figures couldn’t be seen.

Lu Chengfeng ultimately had superior control of True Qi and the environment, spotting the gap in his opponent’s True Qi circulation when in mid-air, his short sword’s Sword Qi soared, slicing diagonally with a “swoosh,” slicing a bloody opening on Li Xiaoyun’s chest.

As a result, his body immediately fell into the water waves.

“Die with me!”

Li Xiaoyun roared in fury, his body forcibly treading water, surging with a giant wave, lunging at Lu Chengfeng’s legs, trying to drag him into the water.

Lu Chengfeng flipped over, standing upside down in the air, his short sword bursting with dozens of cold glints, clashing with the opponent’s palm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Li Xiaoyun’s palm was jade-like, illuminated by electric light, relying on profound inner power cultivation to withstand attack, but the force from the opponent’s sword continually pushed his body downward.

Finally, with a splash, he plunged into the river surface.

Lu Chengfeng dove in like a swimming fish with his sword.

In an instant, undercurrents surged beneath the river surface, stirring huge waves, as if two colossal beings were battling.

When the Mad Ascetic and the One-Eyed Mountain Eagle arrived, a figure leapt out of the water onto a small boat, it was Lu Chengfeng.

He was drenched, his long hair sticking wetly to his face, holding a sword in his left hand, while his right hand lifted a head.

“Hahaha, in the end, I have won!”

At this moment Li Chengqian was already near the bank, looking back into the vast night, his face full of grief and indignation.

“Handsome Yama, Three Immortals Mountain, I swear I will not be a man if this vendetta goes unavenged.”

He leaped ashore, mounted his horse, and sped off without looking back.

…

At this time, the Mad Ascetic and the One-Eyed Mountain Eagle also leapt down from the large boat, standing side by side with Lu Chengfeng.

“Third Brother, why take such a risk?” the Mad Ascetic said, “We have already coordinated with Life-taking Tower, even if they escape ashore, it’s a dead end.”

Lu Chengfeng laughed, “Recently, my swordsmanship has improved a bit, couldn’t resist the urge to test my sword against him.”

The nearby One-Eyed Mountain Eagle glanced at Li Xiaoyun’s drenched head and praised, “Li Xiaoyun’s Wind and Thunder Thunderbolt Palm must have reached at least the twenty-fourth layer in proficiency, right?”

“Third Brother, to be able to slay him in water combat with such swordsmanship skill, it’s truly remarkable!”

“Among the Wind and Cloud List’s prodigies, besides the top three, I’m afraid no one is your match.”

Lu Chengfeng shook his head, “Li Xiaoyun’s Inner Strength cultivation is much deeper than mine, but he’s unskilled in water combat, battling in water against me naturally puts him at a disadvantage.”

“If it came to a real ground fight with blades, I might not necessarily be his opponent, although if it were a surprise assassination, that’s another story.”

“Martial artists in battle, it’s about timing, geography, and human harmony, not just martial arts skill.”

The Mad Ascetic shook his head, “A win is a win, as long as you win, that’s strength.”

“It’s a pity you deliberately let us arrive a moment later, only applying pressure without allowing us to strike together.”

“Otherwise, neither of the Li family members could have escaped, they’d both die in this Jade Belt River.”

Lu Chengfeng laughed heartily, “Why butcher cows for chickens? Furthermore, if the two elder brothers got involved, it would drag Three Immortals Mountain into it, although we’re not afraid of them, the Celestial Patrol Department is troublesome, once the army besieges, many brothers on the mountain would die again.”

The Mad Ascetic shook his head but said no more, to him, even if the mountain minions all died, he wouldn’t feel sorry, the main reason he didn’t act personally this time was still his fear of the Celestial Patrol Department.

Once they dispatch a Half-Step Celestial Human realm top expert, he would also have to flee for his life, not daring to show his face.

But this time their appearance was already more than enough, under immense pressure, Li Chengqian fled, Li Xiaoyun faced battle alone, allowing Lu Chengfeng to kill him.

Otherwise if the two joined forces, with Lu Chengfeng alone, it should have been him fleeing.”

“Elder brothers, tonight’s matter is not yet over, let me chase to see if there’s a chance to take Li Chengqian’s life, it would be quite bothersome if he escapes.”

“I ask you two brothers to support on the riverbank.”

Lu Chengfeng instructed, the Mad Ascetic and the One-Eyed Mountain Eagle naturally had no objection.

Immediately, they separated, Lu Chengfeng sat alone on a small boat, pursuing Li Chengqian, while the others boarded a large boat, ready to retreat at any time.
