Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 227: One Battle Determines the Victory or the Loser
Ever since the battle between Yin Zhong and the Flame Demon, the Western Sword School has become famous, and a large number of aspiring people from the Southern Martial Arts World have flocked to the Hundred Martial Arts Conference, hoping to contribute their own efforts.

However, during this period of time, natural disasters occurred frequently in Southern Wulin, resulting in a large number of innocent people being displaced and man-made disasters continuing.

The Five Mountains and Seven Sects were busy rescuing the people in their respective areas of jurisdiction and maintaining public order. The main forces within the sects were unable to come, and they only sent a few dispensable representatives to help.

The same is true for the imperial forces represented by the Huolong Villa. They put more energy into disaster relief and saving the people, and had no time to care about the movements in the martial arts world. They could only leave all matters related to the Xijianliu to Shi Yanwen.

However, Shi Yanwen delegated the affairs of the Hundred Martial Arts Association to steady and trustworthy people such as Shen Lang, He Wentian, and Qiao Rulai, while he himself conserved his energy and prepared to deal with the Flame Demon.

Finally, the World Wind and Cloud Monument, which took three months to complete, finally welcomed its last day under the attention of the public.

At the beginning of the morning hour, Tianyun Mountain was already filled with heroes from the martial arts world who had come to watch the battle.

Everyone knew that this would be a major event that would go down in the annals of martial arts.

Because the two people fighting here today, one is the overlord from Japan, and the other is a young genius representing the new generation of southern martial arts world.

The heroes in Jianghu were discussing their opinions on today's duel -

"This day has finally come... I've been looking forward to it!!"

"What do you think is the probability that Young Master Lu can defeat the Flame Demon?"

"I think it's at least 60%!"

"Is this true? Although Young Master Lu has defeated many veterans since his debut, that is the Flame Demon. If he fights alone, even Shi Yanwen wouldn't be sure of a 60% chance of winning, right?"

"Haha, that's because you didn't see how Young Master Lu attacked a few days ago. The move that Yan Mo and Yin Zhong used to fight was easily blocked by Young Master Lu. His martial arts can only be described as 'unfathomable'!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd sighed.

"If Young Master Lu beats Yan Mo in this duel, I think he will not only be the 'fastest man in the world', but the real 'best man in the world', right?"

Someone asked, "Number one in the world? What about the others?"

"other people?"

The man snorted and pointed, "Are you talking about those people who only left their names but don't even know where they are?"

Everyone followed the direction of the man's finger and looked up at the Fengyun Monument. They saw many names that had been there several months ago and had not changed at all.

In fact, many people have not yet finished competing in the Fengyun Monument competition.

For example, the much-anticipated "duel between sword masters" Li Jianshi and Ye Gucheng, who are known as "the best swordsman in the world", has not been seen until now.

The two people involved simply disappeared. They seemed to know nothing about their opponents and responsibilities. In short, there has been no news so far.

The heroes in the martial arts world were very indignant about this kind of thing.

Their names have been left in the monument, but up to now there hasn't been a single outstanding battle. This is not only a serious form of passivity and contempt, but also a waste of public resources. It is simply shameful!
So some people can't help but speculate: Maybe they were caught in an unexpected natural or man-made disaster on their way to Tianyun Mountain.

For example, when you are hiking in the mountains and encounter a landslide, you fail to escape in time and are crushed under the mountain, leaving only your buttocks outside;
For example, when playing in the water, a flood broke out and you were washed into an unknown valley, your clothes were torn, and you were naked and dared not go out to see people;
Or maybe they were walking on the road when an earthquake occurred, and they accidentally stepped on air and fell into a crack in the ground and couldn't jump out. They could only rely on drinking X every day to survive, hoping that kind people passing by would lend a hand...

This is clearly a grand event that happens once every twenty years, but what it met with was contempt. The heroes of the martial arts world will not be polite to these people, nor will they give them a good face.

Fortunately, even though there were not many battles between the many 'Number Ones in the World' that were a feast for the eyes in this competition for the Fengyun Monument, there was the drama of 'the heroes of the Southern Martial Arts World fighting against the Western Swordsmen of Japan', so it can be regarded as 'gaining something in one place while losing something in another'.

After an unknown amount of time, the group of heroes guarding the outermost edge suddenly burst into exclamations one after another -

"I'm coming!!"

"People from the Western Sword School are coming!!"

The heroes of Jianghu made way and watched Yan Mo and a group of important Western Sword School officials walk out from the crowd.

Domineering, high-spirited, arrogant and complacent.

The Flame Demon Genjuro, who was walking in the front, still looked like he deserved a beating.

This time the person following him has changed. Although Akabane Nobunosuke is still there, Kanda Kyoichi is gone. Instead, he is replaced by Getsuga Tei, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and Yagyu Oni, one of the century-old legends.

In addition, there are one hundred Western Sword School reinforcements...soldiers.

"Wow, what a big scene!"

I don't know who it was, but after seeing this lineup, he sighed.

But someone nearby immediately began to speculate in a very obscure way: "Do you think those 100 Western Sword School soldiers are used for the same purpose as those dozens of people last time?"

Which one is 'that'?

Anyone who had personally experienced the last battle knew what this man meant.

So someone mocked, "When other people fight, they always bring their weapons; but the Western Sword School is different, they bring their food reserves."

After sneering at Xi Jianliu from afar, the heroes of Jianghu had to think about a very important thing: the opponent has arrived, but what about Lu Ping?
Everyone knows that Lu Ping is not someone who would keep people waiting for long.

Things like wasting time and wearing out the opponent's patience are not something that a great hero like Lu Ping, who is "righteous and full of martial virtues", would do.

"I guess he must be somewhere we can't see, preparing to recite a poem on stage!"

"Not bad, not bad... Reciting poems while on stage is an old habit of Young Master Lu."

"I have been his fan since he first became famous. I know best how he became famous!" As the discussion became more and more heated, the time came to the third quarter of the morning.

Boom-!
Boom——! !

Boom-! ! !
Suddenly, everyone felt a series of vibrations under their feet, as if there was a giant a hundred feet tall holding a sledgehammer, hammering the Tianyun Mountain again and again, causing the dust in front of their eyes to stir and making everyone terrified.

Could it be that the natural disaster of Southern Wulin has finally arrived at Tianyun Mountain?

Is it an earthquake, mudslide, or landslide?
Just as everyone was wondering, a figure in white strode out from the crowd.

The person's footsteps were light and effortless, and it looked like they were no different from a normal person's walking posture. It was more like he was strolling in a garden or taking a quick look. However, with every step he took, the entire Tianyun Mountain was shaken.

"It's Young Master Lu!"

"He's finally here!"

The heroes in the martial arts world shouted excitedly.

After seeing this scene, everyone finally realized that the shaking of Tianyun Mountain was not caused by an impending landslide or an earthquake, but came from Lu Ping’s footsteps!
"I was born the leader among men, and I am the only one who can live as long as the heavens. I trample over the waves of the world with my feet, and shoulder all the worries of the past and present."

Lu Ping lived up to expectations and made a high-profile appearance with his hands behind his back, reciting poems, looking unrestrained and comfortable, and extremely domineering. Although he was clearly alone, he exuded the momentum of an army of thousands!
Many martial arts masters who saw Lu Ping for the first time were deeply moved and shocked by his way of reciting poems on stage and his indomitable momentum.

"Such profound skills!!"

"Is this boy really only sixteen years old? Even a 160-year-old monster might not be able to have this much inner strength, right?"

In the crowd, an old man stroked his beard and his heart skipped a beat.

"The imperial court is in chaos, the martial arts world is in turmoil, and there are constant natural and man-made disasters in various places. At this time, such a rare genius appears..."

"Could it be a sign that the Vermillion Bird is crying blood, the world is in turmoil, and heroes are made by the times?"

Lu Ping finally came before the Flame Demon.

"Master of the Western Sword School, Lu Ping has been invited to fight!"

"I didn't expect you would actually dare to come?"

The Flame Demon stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes wide open, staring at Lu Ping fiercely: "After watching the duel between me and Yin Zhong, don't you understand the difference in strength between us?"

"It is precisely because I know this clearly that I dare to come here."

There was no trace of fear on Lu Ping's face. He looked towards the Flame Demon and said loudly, "You are indeed powerful, but you are not invincible!"

"You look confident?"

“Confidence comes from absolute strength.”

Lu Ping's voice was calm, but he suddenly changed the subject and became unusually arrogant.

"Looking at the entire Western Sword School, apart from you, Flame Demon, the rest of them combined are no match for me alone, so there is no need to worry about them at all."

As he spoke, Lu Ping turned and looked at Akabane Nobunosuke.

"Military Advisor Chiyu has been in Southern Wulin for so long, he must have gathered a lot of information about me. He must have heard about me destroying a mountain and creating a lake in Qixia Town with one palm."

"If there is no Flame Demon, how many blows can the Western Sword Army withstand from me?"

Upon hearing this, Akabane Nobunosuke was not surprised but laughed in a high-pitched and loud voice.

"Do you think you can scare us away with just threats? You can do the same thing! How many moves do you think the Southern Martial Arts World can withstand from you?"

Lu Ping smiled and said, "We have already discovered some of the purpose of the Western Sword School."

"One is to realize the ambition of power, and the other is to fight for the land of Southern Wulin."

"I will use all my strength, and the Western Sword School will suffer heavy losses;"

"If the Flame Demon doesn't care, the destruction will be too severe, which will inevitably cause damage to the earth veins. In addition, the use of Tungsten by the people of the Western Sword School is rampant, and the loss of earth energy is serious. I believe that the Western Sword School has also received information about the constant natural disasters in the Southern Martial Arts World, right?"

"If we lose all our people and land, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse and doing more harm than good for the Western Sword School?"

After hearing this, the heroes suddenly realized that this was the root cause of the recent natural disasters. They were excited and eager to fight.

"The Western Sword School is so dangerous, we can't tolerate them staying here any longer!!"

"That's right!! We must drive them all out!"

"..."

Yan Mo pondered for a moment and felt that what Lu Ping said made sense, so he snorted coldly: "Just say what you want to say, no need to beat around the bush!"

"According to my opinion, instead of both sides turning the tables and making it a bad situation for both sides, it is better to control the losses of both sides to a minimum, and the victory or defeat of today's battle will determine the fate of the Western Sword School."

Lu Ping finally made his position clear.

"If you lose, all members of the Western Sword School will withdraw from the Southern Martial Arts World!"

"If I lose, I will no longer be the enemy of Xijianliu!"
