Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

Li Bin believes that as a martial artist, one should prioritize the pursuit and exploration of martial arts, rather than indulging in beauty and womanizing all day long.

Therefore, from the moment he stepped onto the training ground, he looked down on Kang Lesheng, who stood opposite him and looked extremely weak and depleted.

In his view, Kang Lesheng's appearance here was utterly shameful and he was completely unworthy of being a martial artist.

It's a shame he's the young master of the Qingcheng Sect; he's completely disgraced the sect.

If it weren't for the explicit rule in the duel that heavy blows were not allowed, he would have really wanted to take this opportunity to cripple Kang Lesheng's martial arts skills.

Kang Lesheng naturally noticed Li Bin's dislike for him, but he didn't care at all.

After all, this is the Sword Testing Tournament, so even if Li Bin dislikes him, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

Kang Lesheng knew he was no match for Li Bin, so he planned to only exchange a few symbolic blows with Li Bin when they clashed, and then immediately reveal his weaknesses to ensure his quick defeat.

To be honest, he had no desire to participate in this ridiculous sword-testing tournament. If it weren't for his father's coercion and enticement, he wouldn't even be here.

Once the duel officially began, Li Bin charged forward with a punch before Kang Lesheng could even make a move.

The cultivation method he practiced was the same as Li Xiao's, the "Sacred Yang Nine Dragons Technique," except that Li Xiao was skilled in swordsmanship, while he preferred fist techniques.

Despite being unarmed, Li Bin still managed to overwhelm Kang Lesheng, who was wielding a long sword, in the very first move.

The two were quite different in terms of both internal strength and the skills they had learned, so the current situation was entirely within the expectations of the spectators.

By the fifth move between Li Bin and Kang Lesheng, Kang Lesheng had been forced to the edge of the arena.

If Kang Lesheng had taken just one more step back, he would have been out of bounds and lost.

Just when everyone thought the duel was about to end, Kang Lesheng, who had been on the defensive and retreating, suddenly changed his moves and used all his strength to stab Li Bin in the heart.

Kang Lesheng's sudden and crazy move, which had been passive in the fight, was completely beyond Li Bin's expectations.

The incident happened suddenly, and the two were very close. Caught off guard, Li Bin had no time to think and instinctively unleashed his powerful internal energy, aiming his sword at Kang Lesheng, who was thrusting it towards his vital points.

A golden light flashed, and a dragon's roar resounded all around.

The bewildered audience watched as Kang Lesheng's longsword shattered inch by inch under Li Bin's powerful punch. Then, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and fell to the ground unconscious.

The sudden turn of events brought the entire training ground to a sudden silence.

"Lesheng!!"

Kang Yi was instantly shocked and rushed to the unconscious Kang Lesheng.

The remaining dozen or so Qingcheng Sect disciples immediately followed.

At this moment, Luo He, the palace master of Yuankun Palace, glanced at the other sect leaders, frowned, and said, "The purpose of the Sword Testing Tournament is to compete and exchange skills. Wasn't Li Bin going a bit too far?"

Tan Xing, the leader of the Blackwater Gang, sneered, "Isn't this the consistent style of the imperial court? They are arrogant and do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and they don't take us, the forces of the martial arts world, seriously at all."

The three leaders of Miaoyin Pavilion, Shenquan Sect, and Luoxia Sect did not speak, but their changing expressions showed that Luo He and Tan Xing's words had clearly had a significant impact on them.

Just then, everyone suddenly heard Kang Yi, who was surrounded by a group of Qingcheng Sect disciples, let out a mournful wail.

"Lesheng! My precious son! I was wrong. I shouldn't have forced you to participate in this sword-testing tournament. If I hadn't forced you, you wouldn't have suffered this calamity! How am I supposed to explain this to your mother when I get back!"

The entire training ground erupted in chaos.

They originally thought Kang Lesheng would only be seriously injured at most, but they never expected that he would be killed by Li Bin with a single punch.

"Why is that?"

Yang Jing, the head of Miaoyin Pavilion, changed her expression and stood up along with the other sect leaders.

"That shouldn't be the case... Although Li Bin's punch was powerful, it shouldn't have been enough to kill Kang Lesheng."

Upon hearing Zhang Zhuo's words, Tan Xing's face immediately darkened. "What do you mean by that, Master Zhang? Are you implying that my nephew Le Sheng is risking his life to frame Li Bin?"

Zhang Zhuo frowned and replied, "I didn't say that. I was just stating my opinion on the matter at hand."

"Your own opinion?" Tan Xing sneered. "Anyone who didn't know better would think that Sect Leader Zhang was intentionally favoring one side!"

"Tan Xing! What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Zhuo turned and glared at him.

Given his fiery temper, if it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have already thrown a punch.

"All right!"

Seeing the two start arguing, Luo He immediately intervened, saying, "Let's both say less. Ultimately, how this matter should be handled depends on those at the top. No matter how much we argue, it won't make a difference."

Li Bin, who was standing in the center of the training ground, was still in shock and disbelief.

Although he threw a heavy punch just now, it was by no means enough to kill Kang Lesheng.

Furthermore, recalling Kang Lesheng's actions just now, Li Bin couldn't help but feel that something was amiss.

Just as Li Bin was in a daze, Kang Yi silently put down Kang Lesheng, whom he was holding, and turned to look at him.

"A life for a life. Since Le Sheng died at your hands, then you shall go and join him!"

Before anyone could react, Kang Yi vanished from the spot. Also vanished with him was the longsword Kang Lesheng had thrown as he fell.

As the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, Kang Yi's strength and cultivation are naturally quite terrifying.

Li Bin felt himself being locked onto by an extremely terrifying aura, and then he saw Kang Yi, who was holding a long sword, fly to his side.

Under the overwhelming pressure of Kang Yi's powerful true energy, Li Bin was unable to fight back or retreat in time, and could only watch helplessly as his opponent thrust his sword at him.

Just as the middle-aged man thought Li Bin was about to die tragically under Kang Yi's sword, a golden light suddenly rose from the stands above the martial arts arena, and in an instant arrived in front of Kang Yi, directly knocking Kang Yi away.

"Kang Yi, how dare you! Attacking and killing a disciple of the Hall of Offerings in public, do you think I don't exist?!"

It was Li Shilin who saved Li Bin.

At this moment, Li Shilin had disappeared from his seat and flew to the center of the training ground.

Kang Yi, who had been knocked away, staggered to his feet, looked at the arrogant Li Shilin, and cried out in a shrill voice:

"The Sword Testing Tournament has its own rules: during the competition, it is forbidden to harm the opponent's life! Any violation will be severely punished! Now, in front of so many martial artists, does Elder Li still want to deny it!"

"A life for a life, that's only right! Just because Li Bin is from the Great Qian Imperial Academy, does that mean he's inherently superior and can disregard the rules of the Sword Testing Tournament?"

After saying that, Kang Yi threw down his sword and knelt down in the direction of Yue Qian, clasping his hands in a fist salute, "I beg Pavilion Master Yue and all the seniors to do justice for my son!"

Kang Yi's tearful speech immediately aroused the sympathy of the surrounding martial artists and their shared hatred for the imperial court.

Therefore, many martial artists stood up angrily, clasped their hands in a fist salute, and shouted at the stands directly in front of the arena:

"We urge the four major sects to step forward and uphold justice for Sect Leader Kang!"

"The imperial court has gone too far! We urge all the masters and seniors to step forward and seek justice for us martial artists!"
