Chapter 206: Flame Demon Resurrection
It has been more than two months since the opening of the World Storm Monument.

After this period of baptism in the martial arts world, eighty to ninety percent of those who were qualified to have their names on the stone tablet have been screened out, and now only the most powerful group of martial artists are left.

When Lu Ping came to the foot of Tianyun Mountain again after many days, the scenery he saw was completely different from the first time he came. There was a more solemn and murderous feeling, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.

During the period when Lu Ping was not paying attention, the competition for the World's Most Powerful Monument not only did not slow down, but became quite fierce.

For most people in Jianghu, the battle for the Fengyun Monument is the easiest and most direct opportunity to become famous. And this opportunity only appears once every twenty years. Those who dream of becoming a hero and want to be famous all over the world naturally don't want to miss it.

Therefore, during this period of time, countless people died, were injured, and were disabled in the martial arts world. The medical clinics in Fengyun City were crowded every day and business was booming.

"Murong Yanyu, Ren Piaomiao, Miyamoto Souji, Wuming... none of these people participated? The value of this World Wind and Cloud Monument is a bit low."

Under the column of The World's No. 1 Swordsman, the names of Duan Lang, Jian Chen and others have disappeared. It seems that due to their own circumstances, they were defeated by others' swords and withdrew from the fight.

There are only two people who are still famous now, one is Li Jianshi and the other is Ye Gucheng.

After imagining the swordsmanship of these two people, Lu Ping couldn't help but feel envious: "The Immortal Poet's Sword Preface, The Fairy from the Sky... I wonder what it would be like if these two fought?"

"By the way, why isn't Ximen Chuxue's name on it?"

Just as he was wondering, a voice came from behind him: "Ximen Chuxue was defeated by Mu Dao Ren."

The visitors were Old Man Sun and his eight-year-old granddaughter.

"Ximen Chuxue was defeated? When did it happen?"

After comparing the difference in strength between the two, Lu Ping was not too surprised by the result. It was just a pity that he did not see their fight in person.

Old Man Sun tapped the pipe in his hand and replied, "Five days ago, right here, I saw it with my own eyes. It was absolutely fair and just."

"I don't suspect that any of them cheated. Why are you panicking?"

Lu Ping asked again: "Since Mu Dao Ren defeated Ximen Chuxue, why did his name disappear? Who defeated him? Was it one of Li Jianshi or Ye Gucheng?"

"No one beat him!"

Old Man Sun shook his head: "The battle with Ximen Chuixue seemed to have consumed too much of his energy. After the battle, he announced his withdrawal from the battle for the Fengyun Monument and returned to Wudang."

Withdraw from the competition? Is this even possible?

Could it be that he was afraid of showing too much strength and exposing his identity as the "old knife-holder", so he chose to retreat at the height of his career?

With doubts in mind, Lu Ping regained his composure and continued to look at the Fengyun Monument.

"The first knife is Bie Xiaolou, and the first wonder is... Li Xunhuan?"

After Shangguan Jinhong's defeat, the position of "the most amazing person in the world" now falls to Li Xunhuan. It is estimated that in the next twenty years, he will fully establish this title.

"Wait! Why hasn't the first technique produced any results yet?"

The names of Yin Zhong and Dihua Tiye have been on it for more than two months without any change.

Old Man Sun explained: "There aren't many people who know magic in the martial arts world. If you don't take the initiative to look for them, it's still hard to meet them. Besides, the people in the martial arts world pay little attention to this field."

"That being said, since we have left our name behind, wouldn't it be a shame not to fight?"

"How dare you say such a thing?"

Old man Sun sneered and glanced at the Fengyun Monument.

Lu Ping followed his line of sight, passing through the columns of palm, finger, gun, soft, and solid one by one, and finally stopped his eyes on 'The World's Fastest'. In addition to his own name, there was another person's name there.

Invincible in the East.

Indeed, this is an opponent that I have kept my name on for more than two months, but have never met.

Old Man Sun blew out a cloud of smoke from his mouth, looked at Lu Ping and asked, "I heard that Dongfang Bubai invited you to Black Wood Cliff to resolve the conflict, but you stood him up?"

"It seems to be true."

"Tsk tsk tsk... Because of this, the Sun Moon Cult is now looking for you everywhere!"

Wanted me? Is that Dongfang Bubai so petty and calculating?
Taking into account Dongfang Bubai's biological gender, which has changed from a man to a real 'neither male nor female', Lu Ping suddenly felt that it was not surprising for the other party to do this.

Old Man Sun continued to ask: "Now in the field of 'The World's Fastest', there are only two of you left. When do you plan to accept this battle?"

"It's better to pick a good day, and then I, an old man, can go over and join in the fun."

Lu Ping was speechless: "When did you become so fond of watching the fun?"

Old Man Sun sighed, "There's nothing I can do. If I don't join in the fun, where can I find stories to tell? I still have to make a living by telling stories! My dear granddaughter, don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Sun Xiaohong smiled and nodded, then continued, "How about Brother Lu, can you tell us in detail how you broke into the Xijianliu base camp and killed everyone a while ago?"

"Oh? You guys know about this too?"

"Of course, you are a famous person in the world now!" I have been a famous person for a long time, okay?

"Fame, fame... they are all just clouds."

Lu Ping straightened his back proudly and pretended to be humble, but he couldn't hide the smugness on his face at all.

"The overthrow of the Wushen Jue Palace was the result of the combined efforts of Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, Wuming and others; but the incident with the West Sword School was only your achievement."

"Although you can only temporarily curb their invasion of the dynasty instead of destroying it directly, you can accomplish this by yourself. You can be considered the best in the martial arts world today."

Having said this, Old Man Sun's originally relaxed expression gradually became solemn.

"Because of the rumors that you broke into the enemy camp alone and defeated the captain of the Eight Gates of the Western Sword School, the Six Divisions, and the Heavenly King, the people in the martial arts world are now coveting the Weapon and Armor Martial Arts Classics to an unprecedented degree."

"You must be more careful after this!"

Lu Ping knew that Old Man Sun was not worried about the turmoil in the martial arts world, but was more worried about his own safety.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior. However, since I was able to escape from the Xijianliu base unscathed and stand here safely, I won't be tricked by a group of demon Taoists again!"

"On the contrary, you two, grandparents, must not show your true colors outside, otherwise I may not be able to protect your personal safety."

"Tsk... Have I spent all these years in the underworld for nothing? How could I not know this?"

Sun Xiaohong also got the rest volume, so Lu Ping reminded them.

Just from the extremely weak fluctuations of internal energy he felt from her, Lu Ping could tell that the girl must be a lazy, indolent, and playful child who didn't take martial arts training seriously.

But it doesn't matter. I have completed the main task and got the whole set of weapons and martial arts manuals. That's enough.

As for whether Sun Xiaohong can become a heroine in the future, it depends on her own luck.

After seeing the changes in the Fengyun Monument, Lu Ping returned to Fengyun City and found an inn to eat.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the meal, I heard a few martial artists in the inn talking about the latest news from the martial arts public pavilion.

"Oh no, oh no... The Western Sword Flow is coming this way!"

Western Sword Style?
Lu Ping paused and turned to look.

How long had it been since I had caused such a scene there? It seemed like less than ten days? Did Akabane Shinnosuke just not learn his lesson?

But soon, after listening to those people's idle chatter, Lu Ping knew the reason.

A demon's voice came -

"Xi Jianliu, I heard that they were defeated by Young Master Lu, right?"

"How dare a mere Japanese person act so presumptuously in the Southern Martial World? As expected, Senior Wuming and Young Master Lu Ping should teach him a lesson!"

For some reason, Lu Ping found the person who was speaking inexplicably pleasing to the eye.

Now I am also known as the 'young hero' in the world!
Another person said, "I heard that the night a few days ago was the 'Nine Stars in One Day', which only happens once every century. On that day, the Western Sword School used a forbidden technique to resurrect their leader."

"This time the Western Sword School attacked this way, it was the order of their school master."

A more knowledgeable man laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Resurrecting a person? How is such a thing possible?"

"If my guess is correct, the so-called 'resurrected master' is just an ordinary person who has been taught some unique and powerful kung fu and then given a special status."

The person next to him asked curiously, "How do you know?"

The man sneered and said, "You have been in the martial arts world for so long, you must have heard of methods like 'the reincarnation of the Buddha' and 'the descent of the Virgin Mary', right?"

The others nodded, thoughtfully.

“These are all superstitions!”

"Buddha's son, Holy Mother, and Lord of the River, these roles are played by different people in turn. The spiritual symbolism is more important than the actual meaning. Maybe he is just a puppet with no power, or an excuse to realize someone's ambitions!"

"I see! That makes perfect sense..."

"Listening to your words is better than wandering around in the underworld for twenty years!"

A group of martial arts masters surrounded the man who "broke the superstition" and began to praise him crazily.

Lu Ping saw everything and thought that this group of people were just like the knowledgeable guys on "Xia Mo Bar" or "Xia Mo Hu".

Relying on his own superficial knowledge and imagination, without understanding the full picture, he starts to speak nonsense to others and brag about everything, as if he is afraid that others don't know how much he knows.

"Has the Flame Demon resurrected?"

"No wonder the priest Tongshan Shou never showed up when I caused trouble in Xijianliu that day."

"Now it seems that it was the critical moment to refine the power of the Eight Gates..."

Flame Demon Huan Juro is the founder of the Western Sword School. He is an expert in both magic and martial arts, and his strength is far superior to Jue Wushen, Xiong Ba and others!
Does that mean his battle with Dongfang Bubai has to be postponed again?
