The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 217: The thief helps himself, the great thief helps the world

Liangzhou, hundreds of miles outside Cangya City.

A violent shock sound was heard, and two red and green lights fought against each other. The power overflowing from the fight shook the ground, and the residual heat splashed, shattered the rocks. The forest was also ignited by the fallen divine fire, and a raging flame engulfed it.

Bang!
A green light fell like a pagoda and hit Li Tiangang on the head.

Li Tiangang's eyes shot out a cold light like lightning, and he suddenly swung out a divine sword with a burning red flame. The mighty divine power shook, and with a clang, the green pagoda was bounced away.

However, he took several steps forward, his aura surged, and he roared, "The Law of All Things, Fire!"

A divine fire suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the void and transformed into a fire dragon that chased after the green figure.

The green figure retreated rapidly, but suddenly the figure flashed and disappeared from in front of the fire dragon out of thin air.

Before Li Tiangang could react, a palm pressed on his chest armor, and the power burst out. With a bang, his body was shaken out and slammed hard on a mountain peak.

Li Tiangang's blood boiled and he struggled out of the rubble on the mountain with an ugly look on his face.

I have long heard that the thief saint leaves no trace and his movements are extremely fast. Even the strong ones in the ultimate learning realm find it difficult to track him. His reputation is well-deserved.

"If you had to escort Hao'er to Tianmen Pass and couldn't leave, I would have beaten you up severely when you were in the third immortal realm!"

Feng Boping's figure appeared in front. He raised his hand and used the Green Light Pagoda again to suppress and lock the fire dragon, and said lightly.

Li Tiangang is now in the state of mind of the Four Established Dao, and he is also the true dragon of the Li family. Although his talent in martial arts is not as good as Li Junye, he is also considered to be first-class among the Nine Sons. If he is placed outside the Divine Generals' Mansion, he would be a peerless genius.

Considering that the other party had made many contributions, Feng Boping did not really use his full strength. He just wanted to teach the other party a lesson.

"It's a pity that you will never have this chance again!"

Li Tiangang's eyes were cold. He swung the Divine Flame Sword in his hand and suddenly took a few steps forward.

This time he took nine steps in one breath, his aura reached its peak, and the momentum he exuded was comparable to that of the Fate-Defying State.

Feng Boping's face turned cold, "Do you really want to do this? Then I will teach your elders a lesson and punish you!"

"You deserve it too!"

Li Tiangang roared and suddenly swung his sword. The void seemed to be burning. The heat wave brought out by the magic sword caused the flowers and plants hundreds of feet below to wither and burn.

Guided by the rhyme of Tao, the sword light arrived in an instant and fell in front of Feng Boping.

But Feng Boping's figure suddenly disappeared, ignoring Dao Yun's lock, which made Li Tiangang's face change suddenly.

With a bang and a flash of green light, Feng Boping's figure appeared behind Li Tiangang, like a ghost. The Heaven and Earth Invisible Trace Technique was created by him and was brought to the extreme in his hands. He was only one step away from entering the realm of ultimate learning with this skill.

The palm vibrated and slapped on Li Tiangang's vest, but suddenly, Li Tiangang's back seemed to have eyes, and a beam of fire suddenly rushed out, condensing into a big flaming hand, and slapped on Feng Boping's palm.

Caught off guard by the palm strike, Feng Boping's face changed slightly, his body retreated, and then disappeared in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already two or three miles away.

His palms were charred and his blood vessels were melted. Even though they were healing on their own, they were still bleeding.

The extremely blazing fire in Da Yan Luo's hand burned through his palms into his blood and went straight to his heart and lungs, making his body feel as if it was immersed in boiling water, with severe pain spreading throughout his body.

"Oh, you've been stealing things all your life, so what if your realm is higher than mine?"

Li Tiangang saw that his opponent was injured and defeated, and sneered: "I, Li Tiangang, have fought countless battles in my life. When it comes to my experience in killing enemies, how can you imagine!"

Feng Boping glanced at the charred palm, then turned to stare at Li Tiangang and said, "Then let's try again."

His clothes fluttered and suddenly his body disappeared.

Li Tiangang's pupils shrank and he looked around, but he lost sight of the other person and couldn't see clearly.

A whistling sound suddenly came from behind.

He sneered slightly, and fireworks gathered behind him, but the whistling sound disappeared and instead rushed from the side.

Li Tiangang's expression remained unchanged. He had long expected that the attack from behind might be a feint. The opponent had just been defeated from behind, so how could he make such a stupid mistake again?

Therefore, the fireworks behind him were also his disguise. The aura in his body spread throughout his body and could be mobilized at any time. When the whistling sound came from the side, he immediately burst out with his strength and slapped out with his hand in great flames.

Bang!
Suddenly, a huge force attacked from behind, shocking Li Tiangang's body. Waves of sharp force like a knife penetrated into his body. Even with the armor blocking it, his back still hurt, as if his spine had been cut!

He leaned forward and slapped out with his backhand.

But the whistling sound had long disappeared, and as he turned around and slapped back, a sharp sound came from his chest and vibrated out again.

Li Tiangang spurted out blood, his body flew backwards and fell off the cliff.

But the next moment, he rushed out from the ditch under the cliff, with large amounts of divine flames steaming on his armor, and looked around angrily.

Soon, the calm figure was seen standing on a fallen leaf at the top of a tree.

"Is this your experience in killing enemies? In terms of insight into people's hearts, I have visited the secret places of various major sects throughout my life and have never failed. How can you imagine this?"

Feng Boping sneered slightly and returned the other party's words.

Li Tiangang's eyes ignited with divine fire, and flames burned from his body. He said, "You are looking for death!!"

He suddenly roared and rushed out, taking nine steps instantly, bursting out with extremely fast movements, and rushed in front of Feng Boping.

At this moment, a dragon roar was heard in the distance, and a golden sword light whistled over.

With a bang, the sword light chopped on the magic sword, sending out sparks.

Li Tiangang turned around and saw Li Hao's clone chasing after him, his eyebrows almost raised in anger:

"You beast, how dare you help this wild thief kill your father?!"

The dark side of Li Hao had a cold expression and was unmoved, but he just burst out with power, controlled the magic sword to lock onto the opponent, waiting for the flaw and attacking at any time.

"Hao'er, go back quickly."

Feng Boping's face changed slightly when he saw Li Hao chasing after him, and he spoke quickly.

Dark Li Hao shook his head slightly, "I can't let you face the invaders alone."

Hearing this, Li Tiangang couldn't help but burst into laughter: "What an intruder!"

As he spoke, the divine flame on his body became more vigorous, like a god in fire, stepping towards Li Hao:

"I have tried to be nice to you and make it up to you time and time again, but you have disappointed me time and time again. You are so disappointing!!"

Feng Boping saw his momentum and couldn't help but step out and shouted angrily:
"Li Tiangang, what do you want to do? Do you want to kill Hao'er's clone? If his clone starts a fight here, if it has any impact on the original body, you will regret it!"

Li Tiangang's angry face froze for a moment, and his steps paused.

His face looked grim and he was filled with rage, but he endured it.

There are many kinds of martial arts clones. Some can live independently, but their combat power is extremely weak. They are integrated with the original body and can merge each other's memories.

Some can share vision with the original body and act as a sentinel, while others are always connected to the original body by blood and influence each other.

There are even some demon clones that share a life with the original body, but the clone’s combat power is extremely high. However, once the clone dies, the original body will also be seriously injured or even die together!
He couldn't tell what kind of clone Li Hao had for the time being.

Seeing that Li Tiangang was still rational, Feng Boping secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said to Li Hao: "Hao'er, listen to me and go back quickly."

"I can't leave."

Dark side Li Hao shook his head.

When Li Tiangang heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "As a general of the Li family, you colluded with thieves and protected them so much. You are really my good son!"

Feng Boping said angrily: "Shut up, Hao'er is no longer your son. Have you forgotten the three-year agreement when you left your Li family? What qualifications do you have to blame him!"

"This is my Li family's business. If it weren't for the fact that you protected Hao'er, I would have taken real action long ago!"

Li Tiangang looked at him coldly: "If you interfere in the affairs of the God General's Mansion again, you will never have a good ending!"

"I'll take care of Hao'er's affairs. If you don't obey, I'll teach you a lesson until you obey!"

Feng Bo Ping said with an angry look.

Li Tiangang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he was about to say something when suddenly, a whistling sound came from the distant sky.

The sound was so loud that the three of them turned their heads to look.

Then he saw a figure in a dark black robe flying towards him.

"It is indeed you."

The figure flew over, and when he saw Feng Boping and Li Tiangang, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

Feng Boping was also startled when he saw the other party, but he relaxed all over and said coldly: "You still remember to come here, your own nephew, you should discipline him yourself!"

As he spoke, he protected Li Hao's clone behind him and led him out, leaving Li Tiangang.

Li Tiangang was stunned when he saw the other person's figure. His face changed as he said, "Second Uncle, why are you here? The God General's Mansion..." "Hao'er?"

Li Muxiu interrupted him directly, staring blankly at Feng Boping's Li Hao clone who was protecting him from behind, his face quickly became excited:
"When did Haoer escape from danger? Wasn't he in the Dead River? Where's Fourth Brother?"

Feng Boping sneered and said, "It's not out of danger yet. This is just Hao'er's clone."

Li Muxiu was slightly stunned. When he heard the word "clone", it was like a cold water poured over his head. His excited heart immediately cooled down.

He looked at Li Tiangang, then glanced around, his expression becoming grim: "I can sense your presence from a distance, what's going on?"

Li Tiangang looked at him, then at Feng Boping, his eyes narrowed: "Second Uncle, you seem to know this Thief Saint?"

From Feng Boping's attitude, he judged that the two had known each other for a long time.

Considering that Li Hao is a child, it is strange for him to know the Thief Saint, unless the Thief Saint takes the initiative to approach him, which means he has ulterior motives.

But if this second uncle is the one who makes the connection, it seems to make more sense.

Li Muxiu's face changed slightly. Knowing Li Tiangang's character, he sighed and nodded, "Yes, your uncle Feng and I have known each other for many years. What's going on here? Are you fighting?"

Li Tiangang confirmed it from his mouth, and felt a surge of anger in his heart rushing to the top of his head. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Second Uncle, I respect you as my father's brother and my uncle! People say you acted ridiculously when you were young, but now that you are old, are you still so ridiculous?!"

Li Muxiu's face changed and he said, "How can you talk to me like that? We are just personal friends and have never affected the God General's Mansion. Do I still need you to teach me how to do things?"

"I don't care what you do. I've seen you guard the God General's Mansion and serve the family for many years, but you actually made friends with a thief!"

Li Tiangang clenched his fists in anger: "You even dragged Hao'er into this and led him astray. Second Uncle, how could you be so foolish?!"

Li Muxiu's face turned pale and he said angrily: "Li Tiangang! I want to tell you again, he is not a thief. A thief is for himself, a thief is for the world. What your uncle Feng did is worthy of the word saint!"

"As for what you said about dragging Hao'er into this, that's nonsense. Hao'er is so outstanding, and you are the one who actually hurt Hao'er!"

"You mean, he robs the rich and gives to the poor?"

Li Tiangang sneered: "Don't tell me about Uncle Feng. There are many ways to save the world, such as slaying demons, joining the army, and guarding the border. Which one is not something that can serve the country and the people? But he chose to steal!"

Feng Boping said coldly: "That's right, Lao Li, don't talk about uncle, I am not worthy of being the uncle of your Li family's real dragon!"

Li Muxiu knew that his old friend was angry. He looked at Li Tiangang's sneer and couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Tian Gang, you learned martial arts in a small courtyard, and then led troops to fight. You have been to too few martial arts circles, and too many temples. You don't know the grudges and hatreds in the world, and how many are helpless. If you can be a hero in an upright manner, who would not want to leave a good name behind?"

“There are three thousand kinds of suffering in the world, and you cannot experience them all, but you should understand them, instead of sitting in the temple and looking down on them coldly.”

Li Tiangang said coldly: "Since he protected Hao'er, I can forgive him, but he is not allowed to get close to Hao'er in the future. Second uncle, you should know that if people know that our God General Mansion is colluding with the Thief Saint, and this matter spreads, how will other God General Mansions, including Your Majesty, view us?"

Li Muxiu remained silent.

He naturally knew this, so he only interacted with Feng Boping in private.

At first they did not know each other's identities and had a great time talking to each other. After they became friends, they revealed their identities to each other and found out each other.

But at that time, how could we completely sever our relationship just because of each other's identities?

So even though they were frustrated and a bit worried, their friendship did not diminish. Instead, it became deeper and deeper as they got along over the years.

Hearing Li Tiangang's words at this time, Li Muxiu sighed deeply. He was not favored in his childhood, and he felt resentful. It would have been better if he was not a member of the Divine General's Mansion in this life. Now, he actually had this thought again.

However, he now has too many things to carry on his shoulders. He is no longer the young man with high spirits who can gallop across the world without hesitation and wander around.

"You are the only one who knows the relationship between me and Brother Feng. If you don't tell me, no one else will know."

Li Muxiu said.

Li Tiangang sneered: "Second Uncle, you should know that paper cannot cover fire."

Li Muxiu took a deep breath and said slowly, "Let's not talk about this for now. I came here to go to Longcheng Mohe to pick up Hao'er. I passed by Tianmen Pass and thought of coming here to take a look. How did you two start fighting? What's going on in Longcheng Mohe? Bringing Hao'er back first is the most important thing."

Li Tiangang said, "I was just about to talk about you. When you came out, did you investigate the situation in Qingzhou? Can you keep your whereabouts secret? If people knew you were not there, you should know how dangerous Qingzhou would be!"

"Don't worry about me doing my job."

Li Muxiu asked, "How is Hao'er doing?"

Li Tiangang sneered slightly. He was relieved at first, but after returning from Yanbei and seeing what happened in his family, he became more and more worried.

"Hao'er has his fourth uncle looking after him over there, so he should be fine."

Li Tiangang said: "Unless there are other variables, it is not clear at the moment. I came to Tianmen Pass to find out from his clone, but I ended up discovering this big secret!"

As he said this, some anger welled up in his eyes again.

Li Muxiu no longer paid attention to him, but turned to look at Li Hao's clone, his eyes softened, and said:

"Hao'er, tell me quickly, can you sense your true body in the dead river?"

Dark side Li Hao shook his head slightly: "I can't sense it."

"Is it because the Dead River can't sense it, or is it because of itself?"

Li Muxiu quickly asked in detail.

The dark side of Li Hao immediately confessed everything.

Seeing that Li Hao was so honest in front of Li Muxiu and answered every question, Li Tiangang's face became gloomy and he had a complicated feeling in his heart. That feeling made him feel uncomfortable and angry.

I am your father!
Before long, Li Muxiu had asked all the questions he wanted to know and discovered that the clone did not know the situation of Li Hao himself.

But through the clone, we can learn that Li Hao's own combat power is extremely strong, not inferior to the demon king in the ultimate learning realm. If he uses the special means mentioned by the clone, he can even reach the limit of the ultimate learning realm.

In addition, Li Tiangang asked Li Muxiu to inquire about the battle flag. When Li Muxiu asked, the clone thought about it and told him through voice transmission.

Seeing that Li Hao was deliberately avoiding him, Li Tiangang's face became ugly again.

But he had no choice but to ask Li Muxiu through voice transmission. When he learned that the battle flag was actually made by Li Hao himself, Li Tiangang was overwhelmed and shocked.

But what followed was a burst of ecstasy. Li Hao had such talent, it was simply a gift from heaven!

When Li Hao returns, if he can bring this talent into play, its impact will even surpass Li Hao's own martial arts significance.

After all, no matter how strong one's martial arts is, even if one cultivates to the realm of Taiping Dao, one can only guard one state. But if this battle flag is mass-produced, it can protect the entire Dayu Divine Dynasty!
"Hao'er has such strength, and with the help of the fourth brother, as long as nothing unexpected happens in the Death River, everything should be fine..."

After Li Muxiu learned the information from his clone, his nervous mood calmed down a little.

But I still couldn't relax until I saw Li Hao in person.

"Uncle, let's go to Longchengmuhe now."

Li Tiangang said to Li Muxiu: "But you have to hide first, to avoid being exposed on the battlefield, causing the demons to move their positions and attack the God General's Mansion in Qingzhou, which would cause a big disaster."

"Of course I know that." Li Muxiu said.

Li Tiangang glanced at Feng Boping next to him, and then said: "There is one more thing. You must sever your relationship with this person!"

"Ok?"

Li Muxiu's face changed slightly, but Feng Boping just frowned slightly, but did not speak. Instead, he looked at Li Muxiu quietly, as if waiting for his decision.

If the other party chooses to break up for the sake of the Divine General's Mansion, he will not blame them.

After all, when they first learned of each other's identities, he had vaguely guessed that such a scene would happen.

After all, his own status is not worthy of the Divine General's Mansion.

"Tiangang, this is my private matter, don't interfere!" Li Muxiu didn't look at his old friend's expression, but said coldly to Li Tiangang.

Li Tiangang said coldly: "Second Uncle, you should know the consequences if something happens. This is not your personal matter, but a major matter concerning the entire Li family. Do you want to bring shame to the ancestors of the Li family because of this?!"

Li Muxiu's face changed slightly and looked a little ugly.

"I have known Brother Feng for more than sixty years, and I know Brother Feng's character..." said Li Muxiu.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Tiangang, who said:
"I don't want to discuss his character with you. I only know that once he gets involved with our Li family, it will be bad for both of us! Even if he is a good person, so what? I can listen to your explanation, but can everyone in the world listen to your explanation?"

Li Muxiu's face changed. He naturally knew this. He explained it this way just to skip this matter.

"Old Li, if it really doesn't work out, we won't have any contact from now on. Even though we are far apart, we can still drink a cup of tea together."

Feng Boping also spoke at this time.

He knew that if his identity was exposed, he would end up like this, and he didn't want to see Li Muxiu in trouble.

Li Muxiu's body trembled slightly, and he turned to look at his old friend. His eyes were filled with sorrow, and he lowered his head and shook his head slowly:
"I've cut off enough things. I don't want to cut off any more!"
