This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 523: Clouds, Smoke, and Rain
Ande Province, Lingshou Prefecture.

The Lingshoulan Family, one of the seven major families, is located here.

On this day, the Lan Mansion opened its main gate early in the morning. Luxury cars arrived and parked outside the mansion. One after another, important figures from Lingshou Mansion came to visit.

Among these important figures, there were people from the Lan family, as well as important figures from the Lingshou Prefecture government. Even the Lingshou Prefecture garrison commander came in person!

Just when people were wondering what big thing happened in the Lan family, a piece of news quickly spread in the city -

Marquis of Jing'an Li Fei visits Lingshou Mansion and wants to challenge the ancestor of the Lan family in a duel and make friends through martial arts!
As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar!

Almost all the people in the martial arts world rushed to the Lan family frantically, wanting to see if there was a chance to witness this battle.

Not to mention the Grand Master, even a martial arts master is a big figure that many people in the martial arts world will never see in their lifetime.

The two great masters are competing, and among them is the legendary figure Marquis Jing'an. This battle is so attractive!

Lan Mansion.

In the lobby, a man dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, with a calm demeanor and handsome appearance, sat in the main seat.

He is Lan Mingqian, the current head of the Lan family.

In addition to him, several leaders of the Lan family, as well as the garrison commander of Lingshou Prefecture, the head of the Zhige General Hospital and other important figures were present.

"Master of the house."

A man holding a sword walked quickly into the hall:
"Cousin Ruoyun has already met Marquis Jing'an outside the city, and is entering the city with the Marquis!"

Hearing this, Lan Mingqian smiled:

"Okay, let's get ready."

After the visitor left, Ding Ze, the garrison commander of Lingshou Prefecture, immediately said with a smile:

"Ruoyun is the most beautiful woman in Ande Province. She is also a martial arts genius. She has already reached the level of a martial arts master at a young age. If she can marry Marquis Jing'an, it will be a blessing for Lingshou Mansion!"

"Hahaha, in the end it all depends on whether she and Marquis Jing'an have this fate."

Ding Ze's words hit Lan Mingqian's heart, and his smile widened.

More than two years ago, when Li Fei had just been conferred the title of Marquis, he passed by Lingshou Mansion. He specially arranged for his daughter Lan Ruoyun to challenge Li Fei and make friends through martial arts.

In fact, he had intended to bring the two together at that time, hoping that his daughter could marry Li Fei.

Unfortunately, Lan Ruoyun didn't have that intention at the time, and Li Fei didn't seem to have any special feelings for Lan Ruoyun.

Li Fei is now a completely different person than before. His power, status, personal strength, reputation, etc. are far beyond what they were back then!
If Lan Ruoyun had married Li Fei, the two families could have been considered a powerful alliance, and the Lan family's status would even be higher.

But if Lan Ruoyun marries Li Fei now, the Lan family will be considered marrying above their station!
It is no exaggeration to say that if the Lan family can marry Li Fei, they will no longer be one of the "Seven Great Families" in the future.

The Lan Family will surpass the 'Three Mountains, Four Sects and Seven Great Families' in one fell swoop, becoming the most powerful force in the martial arts world after Buddhism, Taoism, Tianyi Tower and Hongchen Pavilion!

That's why Lan Mingqian tried his best to bring Li Fei and his daughter together.

When Li Fei's visiting card was delivered to the door, he immediately asked Lan Ruoyun to go and greet it, creating an opportunity for the two to be alone together.

In his opinion, if all these factors, such as age, talent, family background and appearance, were added together, his daughter would definitely be among the top three, if not the most suitable one for Li Fei!

Unless Li Fei is completely uninterested in women, he should at least consider it.

Outside Lingshou City, on a flying boat.

A woman dressed in white, with willow-like eyebrows and eyes like autumn water, standing side by side with Li Fei, like a white crane on the clouds.

The first underworld force that Li Fei chose to ask for advice was the Lan family.

When Lan Ruoyun fought with him, he was deeply impressed by the [Lan Yin Xu Guo] move she used at the end.

This form of Taoist power is the unique skill of the Lan family, and it can be practiced to the highest level of creation!
Moreover, this is also a sword technique, which is suitable for Li Fei's [Wanxiang].

"After we parted, I never thought that I would not even be qualified to fight with the Marquis now."

On the flying boat, Lan Ruoyun laughed at herself.

More than two years ago, she could at least fight with Li Fei on equal terms.

And now, Li Fei came to Lingshou Mansion again, but he wanted to ask the strongest grandmaster of Jianlan family!
After her fight with Li Fei, she felt that the other party was "barbaric and rude" and it was really frustrating.

Looking back now, I realize that I was too shallow.

Lan Ruoyun thought that she had good talent and had never slacked off for a single day, but compared with the person next to her, she still felt extremely frustrated.

Li Fei looked at the city in the distance and said indifferently:
"Miss Lan, there is no need to underestimate yourself. The path of martial arts is not achieved in a short period of time. With Miss Lan's talent, we may meet at the top in the future."

Lan Ruoyun turned around and looked at Li Fei's profile carefully:
"Meet at the top?"

She savored the word again and again, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

"Thank you for your encouragement, sir."

Afterwards, she did not speak again and stood quietly on the flying boat.

Lan Ruoyun certainly understood what her father meant, but she was only focused on improving her martial arts and didn't care much about the relationship between her children.

Of course, she was not opposed to taking the initiative to contact Li Fei.

Otherwise, even if the head of the family spoke personally, she would not have to pay any attention to it given her current realm and status.

She came because she wanted to.

But Li Fei didn't seem to have any other intentions, and Lan Ruoyun didn't force it, so the two of them quietly took the flying boat into the city.

The flying boat finally landed outside the gate of Lan Mansion.

At this time, the Lan Mansion was already surrounded by people, most of whom were people from the martial arts world who had come after hearing the news.

After seeing Li Fei and Lan Ruoyun, there was a sudden commotion.

However, the Lan family maintained order on the periphery, preventing these people from getting close.

"Hahaha, greetings to Marquis Jing'an, and greetings to Pavilion Master Li!"

The head of the Lan family, Lan Mingqian, took a group of people to greet them, and bowed with a big smile.

This time, Li Fei submitted the visiting card as the Pavilion Master of Lanxun Pavilion, so Lan Mingqian called him Pavilion Master Li.

"Meet Senior Lan."

Li Fei bowed in return.

Then Lan Mingqian led him into the gate of the Lan Mansion.

This disappointed the outsiders.

It seems that this competition is held behind closed doors, and they will not have the chance to watch it.

"Master Li, my ancestors are already waiting in the martial arts arena."

Lan Mingqian led Li Fei all the way into the Lan Mansion.

"Okay, thank you."

"Master Li, you are too polite."

As the two were talking, the group soon arrived at a huge martial arts arena.

In the center of the martial arts arena stood a man wearing a white robe and a tall crown. He looked younger than Lan Mingqian and had a handsome appearance.

The leaders of this branch of the Lan family all have extraordinary looks, otherwise Lan Ruoyun would not have become a beauty famous in the world.

The man waiting in the martial arts arena is the ancestor of the Lan family, a great master - Lan Tingzhou.

Lan Tingzhou's appearance and demeanor are both extraordinary, but when everyone enters the martial arts arena for the first time, they are not attracted by him, but by the long sword he holds on the ground with his palm.

The extremely sharp sword intent was like a substance, covering the entire training ground, as if cutting the space apart and making the training ground completely independent between heaven and earth!

All the warriors except Li Fei sensed the danger at the first moment and did not dare to step into the training ground.

Li Fei's eyes lit up when he saw this.

It seems that Lan Tingzhou is very serious about this battle and does not intend to take it perfunctorily.

This made Lan Mingqian, who was standing by, look worried.

His ancestor had remained in the Shenyan realm for many years, and Li Fei single-handedly killed Xu Jing, who was in the Shengji realm, before he broke through.

In the battle at Baifeng Plain, he even killed the master of the Gouchen Sword, Bo Chen, alone!
Now that Li Fei has reached a higher level, Lan Mingqian does not think that his ancestor is Li Fei's opponent.

In his opinion, since Li Fei visited him this time as the leader of Lanxun Pavilion, it was obvious that he had other intentions and the martial arts competition was not the point.

So everyone can just discuss it casually.

But Lan Tingzhou's serious attitude might provoke Li Fei to become serious as well, which would be a bad outcome.

Unfortunately, Lan Mingqian couldn't decide anything.

Li Fei stepped forward without hesitation and walked into the martial arts arena:

"Greetings, Senior Lan!"

As he stepped into the martial arts arena, everything in the outside world disappeared, and the only thing left in his eyes was the man and the sword in front of him.

"Pavilion Master Li."

Lan Tingzhou looked at Li Fei seriously, "Bai Chen died under your knife?"

Li Fei nodded.

Lan Tingzhou showed a bitter smile and sighed:
"I have lost to Bo Chen three times in my life. I have been practicing sword skills and understanding sword skills all these years just to win back once. Unfortunately, I will never have the chance again."

He and Bo Chen, the master of the Gouchen Sword, are of the same generation. When they were both martial arts masters, they had a public duel.

In that battle, Lan Tingzhou was defeated by one move.

Later, Lan Tingzhou broke through with the four supernatural powers and became a grandmaster before Bo Chen.

After Bo Chen also became a grandmaster, he challenged Bo Chen again.

But this time the defeat was very obvious, he was defeated by Bo Chen in just over two hundred moves.

Afterwards, Bai Chen broke through to the Shenyan realm first, while Lan Tingzhou, who broke through first, took nearly twenty years to break through to the Shenyan realm.

The two men made an appointment to fight for the third time. This time the fight was unknown to the public, and the final result was Lan Tingzhou's crushing defeat!

He barely lasted less than a hundred moves before he was defeated by Bo Chen.

Lan Tingzhou has been brooding over the three defeats he suffered.

But he never got the chance to win it back.

"Over the years, I have mastered three swords, specially prepared for Bo Chen. Since Bo Chen died under Pavilion Master Li's sword, are you willing to accept my three swords?"

Lan Tingzhou asked.

He is over a hundred years old this year, more than five times older than Li Fei, and even more senior. But now he asks Li Fei to take his three swords, and actively puts himself in the position of challenger.

"With great pleasure."

Li Fei readily agreed.

"it is good--"

Lan Tingzhou draws his sword!
Clang——

The clear and pleasant sound of swords echoed throughout the Lan Mansion.

There was no trace of sword light, and the entire training ground was shrouded in a sea of ​​clouds.

In the clouds and mist, Li Fei completely lost his perception of the outside world.

There were only white clouds and the sound of the wind. The sword intent that was so sharp that it seemed to split the space just now also dissipated like smoke, as if everything was just an illusion.

"Cloud Sky Sword Canon"——[Sword Hidden in the Cloud Sea]!
The same move, which Li Fei had seen in Lan Ruoyun's hands outside the train station, was now used by Lan Tingzhou, perfectly combined with the realm of martial arts, and Li Fei could not even sense the realm of martial arts.

The world in his eyes had been magnified dozens of times, with a sea of ​​clouds rolling around him, towering mountains, and ancient pines growing on the cliffs.

The surrounding mountain mist seemed to be stained with ink, and only black and white remained in Li Fei's eyes.

The ancient pine trees on the cliff moved without wind, and the fallen pine needles turned into sword energy, merging with the floating clouds in the mountain stream. Wisps of clouds surged towards Li Fei from all directions like a tide!

Golden light burst out from Li Fei's body, covering an area of ​​100 meters in radius.

He unfolded the [Hunyuan Sword Realm], but deliberately narrowed the scope of the sword realm, using it only to resist the opponent's martial arts domain, so that he would not be unable to use even his magical powers.

However, he did not rely on the strength of [Hunyuan Sword Realm] to suppress the opponent's martial arts realm.

Li Fei wants Lan Tingzhou to fully perform these three swords!

Countless clouds entered the [Hunyuan Sword Realm] and all turned into nothingness, like a dream bubble.

Li Fei's senses were fully open, but he couldn't detect any dangerous aura.

Suddenly, the golden light on his body shook violently, as he was constantly attacked by invisible sword energy!
"This sword is called [Yun Mo]."

Lan Tingzhou's voice spread into the sword world.

This move was derived from [Sword Hidden in the Sea of ​​Clouds], and has gone a step further, integrating with the changes in the realm of martial arts and the realm of the gods. Not only is it more powerful, but the sword energy is also invisible, making it difficult to capture.

Li Fei's [Hunyuan Sword Realm]'s perception of sword energy has reached a subtle level, but he did not even detect any trace of sword energy.

"The realm of creation!"

Li Fei's eyes became brighter and showed a little more joy.

I thought that in this battle I could only see the Creation Realm sword technique [Lan Yin Xu Guo] at most, but I didn't expect to see the unexpected Creation Realm sword technique in the first move!

The Dao power of the Xuanjing realm can mobilize the power of heaven and earth and can affect the minds of everyone within the range.

The Dao power of the Creation Realm has gone a step further. It is not as good as supernatural powers, but better than them. It can create effects similar to supernatural powers.

Lan Tingzhou's move [Cloud Ink] is equivalent to giving the sword energy some kind of concealed magical power.

This has undoubtedly reached the level of the creation realm!

Li Fei's body was constantly flashing with golden light, but his defense was never broken.

Lan Tingzhou's style [Cloud Ink] is better at concealment, but slightly weaker in terms of effectiveness.

Li Fei's defense was already outstanding, and after using [Hunyuan Sword Realm] to weaken the sword energy, he hardly felt the threat.

Boom——

Thousands of peaks echo.

The ink-splashed clouds split open a ray of skylight, revealing the jagged sword-ridged mountain behind them. The mountain was actually moving, the layers of rock ridges turned into the cold light of the sword blade, and the waterfall turned into the falling sword energy.

[Yun Mo]'s offensive has reached a new level!
Li Fei realized that Lan Tingzhou should have more than one magical power that could continuously enhance the offensive, and he integrated them all into [Yun Mo].

So this ancestor of the Lan family is the type who becomes stronger as he fights more.

Li Fei wanted to see the opponent's strongest posture, so he did not dodge or evade, and let the opponent do what he wanted.

After a moment, the sword energy had turned into a storm, infecting the [Hunyuan Sword Realm] with a large area of ​​ink.

Lan Tingzhou not only possesses magical powers that can continuously enhance his offensive, he also possesses certain magical powers that can infect others. Combined with the changes in his divine realm, this style of [Cloud Ink] is really like ink that continues to spread on rice paper, infecting Li Fei's [Hunyuan Sword Realm]!
When the golden light on Li Fei's body was also stained with a layer of ink, he finally stopped defending.

His counterattack was simple and crude——

[Hunyuan Sword Realm] is fully launched!

The golden ball of light spread rapidly across the ink-and-wash landscape with unstoppable force.

"Ok?"

Lan Tingzhou was surprised.

Li Fei's martial arts cultivation is clearly only at the Divine Evolution Realm, but at this moment the strength of his martial arts realm has already reached the level of the Establishment Realm.

This is incredible!

Brilliant rays of Buddha's light shone down from the sky, illuminating the ink-and-wash landscape world created by Lan Tingzhou into gold.

[Yun Mo] was then revealed!
Then, dark clouds dissipated in the dome and rain fell.

Clouds turn into rain.

It was as thin as a gossamer at first, but in a blink of an eye it had become a torrential downpour of ink.

The falling raindrops stretched out in mid-air and turned into sword energy that fell down.

Rocks produce smoke when it rains.

The inky sword energy seeped into the rock veins, and the mountain peaks gradually turned into burnt ink. The sword intent was as cold as ice, freezing the sword energy in the [Hunyuan Sword Realm]!
"The second sword - [Cloud and Rain], respectfully presented to Marquis Jing'an."

Lan Tingzhou's voice sounded again.

Compared with the previous [Yun Mo] style, the attack of this sword is more fierce, and when the sword force has accumulated to the peak, it reaches a higher level!
"it is good."

Li Fei exclaimed.

This move [Cloud and Rain] actually did not reach the realm of creation, but Lan Tingzhou made some changes based on [Cloud and Ink], perfectly inheriting the power of the previous sword, so that although it did not reach the realm of creation, it could be further improved in power!
This clever idea gave Li Fei new ideas.

It would probably be difficult for him to break through to the Creation Realm in a short period of time, but he could learn from Lan Tingzhou and use various means to superimpose sword power, thereby making his swordsmanship more powerful.

Li Fei raised his right hand, and mountains and rivers appeared in the [Hunyuan Sword Realm], then turned into billions of golden rays that gathered in his hand and transformed into a three-foot sword edge.

He stabbed his sword towards the sky.

Mountains and rivers go against the trend and break through the sky!
"it is good--"

Lan Tingzhou's tone became more excited.

Because he recognized that Li Fei's sword was the creation sword technique of the Gouchen Sword School - "Da Qian".

Unexpectedly, Li Fei actually mastered this kind of swordsmanship, which undoubtedly made up for his regret that he could not fight with Bo Chen again.

The sword energy that condensed the universe pierced through the sky and dispersed the dark clouds.

Even though Li Fei's "Da Qian" has not yet reached the realm of creation, the terrifying strength of "Hunyuan Sword Realm" is enough to make up for it.

[Clouds and Rain] were thus broken!
But then, thousands of mountains and rivers came upside down from the broken sky.

The world is turned upside down, the situation is reversed!

Lan family's unique skill——[Lan Yin Xu Guo]!
This form of swordplay is somewhat similar to the anti-injury magical power [Armor of Thorns], but the difference is that it rebounds not the force, but the move itself.

The ink clouds turned into rain, lingering between the mountains and rivers, and together covered Li Fei.

Lan Tingzhou added his own strength to Li Fei's "Da Qian" sword, and then bounced it back!
The timing was perfect, Li Fei seemed to have punched himself with all his strength, and had no time to dodge or change his moves to defend.

If a great master in the realm of Li Dao came here, he might really be injured by this blow.

But Li Fei simply activated his magical power to break this move -

Two large golden characters appeared out of thin air between heaven and earth like two large talismans, instantly suppressing the mountains, rivers, clouds and ink that were covering them.

【Jing'an】!
Within the borders of the Da Lan Dynasty, combat power was boosted and a great force was generated out of nowhere, forcibly blocking Lan Tingzhou's counterattack.

After a moment, the power of [Jing'an]'s magical power was defeated, but it also bought Li Fei enough time.

He drew out the Ghost Slashing Sword and slashed it upwards. The fiery force dyed the sky and earth red.

【A sword from heaven and earth】!
With one cut, the mountains, rivers, clouds, ink, mist and rain all disappeared!
In the martial arts arena, all the brilliant lights faded away, revealing the figures of the two people again.

Lan Tingzhou has already sheathed his sword.

He looked at the young man not far away and sighed:

"As expected of you, you are the best in history. I am the loser."

He conceded defeat.

In fact, if Li Fei hadn’t intentionally let him do what he wanted, he would have been defeated even faster!
"Concession."

Li Fei clasped his fists in return.

He was very satisfied with this battle. Not only did he witness two types of Dao power in the Creation Realm, but it also broadened his thinking.

At the same time, he also had a preliminary estimate of his own combat power.

When he fought with Lan Tingzhou just now, he didn't consume a single blood soul, nor did he use his strongest offensive means of [Blood Rage] + [Dragon Elephant], and he easily defeated his opponent!
"In Pavilion Master Li's opinion, if I were to face Bo Chen, would I have a chance of winning?"

Lan Tingzhou suddenly asked.

Li Fei thought for a moment and said, "If it's a fight between people of the same realm, I should have a 30% chance of winning."

"Three points?"

Lan Tingzhou was disappointed at first, then burst into laughter:
"Well, I have no regrets in my life as I can fight with Pavilion Master Li!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, the people on the sidelines had different expressions.

They knew that Lan Tingzhou was unlikely to defeat Li Fei, but they thought that the two sides could at least fight back and forth for a while.

But I didn't expect that a grandmaster-level competition would end in less than three minutes?

For a moment, everyone looked at Li Fei's back, with even more awe in their eyes.

Lan Ruoyun was deeply moved when she heard her ancestor say the words "no regrets in this life".

Others might think that Lan Tingzhou was actively supporting Li Fei.

But as someone who had fought with Li Fei before, she immediately understood what Lan Tingzhou meant.

Perhaps it won’t be long before he won’t even be qualified to fight Li Fei!

Therefore, it is indeed a blessing to be able to fight with Li Fei before he reaches the top.

Next, Lan Tingzhou invited Li Fei to sit down and drink tea together, while Lan Mingqian, Lan Ruoyun and others accompanied him.

The two grandmasters exchanged some martial arts experiences in a harmonious atmosphere.

"The Buddhists are rampant, plotting rebellion and regicide. As the leader of the Blue Patrol Pavilion, I want to gather the strength of the martial arts world to help the country."

At a certain moment, Li Fei took the initiative to mention this matter.

He looked at Lan Tingzhou: "I wonder if the Lan family is willing to contribute?"

Lan Tingzhou looked at Lan Mingqian who was standing beside him and said, "I have been devoted to martial arts these years and have not intervened in family affairs for a long time. Since Pavilion Master Li has this intention, why not talk to Mingqian about it?"

So Li Fei also looked at Lan Mingqian.

Lan Mingqian had a gentle expression and smiled, "My Lan family has been cared for by the imperial court, and many of our family members are serving as officials in the court, so we are naturally willing to contribute."

He agreed readily, but soon began to talk about his family's difficulties.

If Li Fei just wanted the Lan family to send a few more experts to join the Lanxun Pavilion, he would definitely agree without hesitation.

But Li Fei wanted the Lan family and the imperial court to stand together and deal with the Buddhists.

This is not an easy matter.

Lan Mingqian talked for a long time, but his words only meant one thing -

If Li Fei can further improve his relationship with the Lan family, the Lan family will naturally be willing to help with all their strength!
The implication of this statement was already very clear, and Lan Ruoyun at the side lowered her head to drink tea.

She thought she would be ashamed.

But it seems... he doesn't mind.
