Chapter 373: The Final Battle Against Pang Ban
The latest update is now available on Cola Novels; we await your interpretation.
The Tatars cheered wildly, retreating and kneeling on the ground to welcome their Great Khan, their god!
The soldiers from the Central Plains and the martial arts masters also retreated one after another, and the battlefield tacitly made way for a wide open space for the two to duel.
Hong Qigong's expression became extremely solemn.
These days he has also entered the Innate Realm and awakened supernatural powers, but when he saw Pang Ban, he still did not feel that he had any chance of winning.
In his perception, Pang Ban's aura was infinitely vast, beyond human power to resist.
Although Li Ping is also very strong, he still doesn't seem to be as good as Pang Ban...
He was sweating profusely...
Can Li Ping really win?
If he doesn't win, who on the battlefield can stop this god-like and demonic Pang Ban?
At that time, the Central Plains would once again fall under the iron hooves of the Tatars.
Although he had never witnessed the humiliation of Jingkang, he had heard about it from the elders; although he had never seen the Mongol Yuan dynasty, he had read about it in history books. He absolutely did not want such a thing to happen again...
Zhou Botong wiped his forehead: "Old beggar, these two guys don't seem human anymore. Have they become immortals?"
"I'm panicking. Why does Li Ping seem less strong than Pang Ban?"
Zhou Botong was a martial arts fanatic who had visited the stone wall of the "Tai Xuan Jing" many times, thus owing the imperial court a huge favor. In addition, his senior brother had also killed Tartars in the past, so this time he also went to the battlefield.
These words drew angry glares from the martial arts practitioners around him.
Li Shimin remained calm, because Li Ping had already found him earlier, and the two were certain that Pang Ban would come here first, so Li Ping waited for Pang Ban here!
Li Shimin had already begun preparations. If Li Ping lost, he would immediately lead the entire army to retreat, luring Pang Ban into a pre-set trap...
Previously, when Li Shimin, Li Jing, and Zhu Yuanzhang discussed the wars of this era, they all sighed, "Warfare has changed."
Because firearms became more sophisticated, and gunpowder became more powerful!
Using firearms to aid in city defense, if used properly, makes it extremely difficult to breach even when led by a grandmaster.
If the Divine Machine Battalion can perform well, even Grandmasters will have to avoid its sharp edge.
If there were enough gunpowder, even a near-inhuman being like Pang Ban should be able to injure him, or even kill him...
However, martial artists of this level are extremely sensitive to danger, and the most difficult part is figuring out how to lure them into a trap.
……
At this moment, Li Ping slowly stepped forward, without even bringing his sword.
At his current level of martial arts skill, unless it's a divine weapon, having a sword or not makes little difference.
Yan Fei's Butterfly Loves Flowers and Lang Fanyun's Rain-Covering Sword were originally sharp weapons, and they were nourished by their essence, energy and spirit every day, and their hearts were connected, so they were already different from ordinary weapons.
But Li Ping didn't have the time to cultivate a divine weapon!
He took a closer look at the Demon King Pang Ban for the first time, and even he had to admit that the guy was incredibly handsome: "In such a short time, your cultivation has advanced so much, you must have already reached the realm of shattering the void. Congratulations, congratulations..."
Pang Ban stood with his hands behind his back, looking nonchalant: "Brother Li doesn't seem surprised at all, so you must have seen someone reach the realm of shattering the void?"
"Is this Brother Lang?"
"Brother Lang is truly a peerless genius, worthy of our utmost respect."
"Brother Li is the same; it's only been a short time since we last met, yet his cultivation has advanced significantly once again."
"But Brother Li should know that your level is currently only one step behind mine."
"But this line is an insurmountable barrier. We'd be better off retreating now and letting Brother Lang and I finish that unfinished battle!"
As he spoke, his psychic power relentlessly attacked Li Ping, clashing with Li Ping's psychic power. Their battle had already begun!
Li Ping shook his head and chuckled: "The reason why breaking through the void is the highest level of martial arts in your world is because in your world, one can refine the void and merge with the Dao, and after breaking through the void, one can ascend to the immortal realm."
"But the Great Dao of this world is flawed; after the void shattered, there was no path leading to the Immortal Realm..."
"That road has long been cut off."
"So there is actually no difference between you and me, between immortals and mortals. We are all just ordinary people, and the gap is not so great that it cannot be crossed."
"By the way, there's something I've always been curious about..."
His gaze swept over the battlefield and the soldiers around him, then he said, "Come to think of it, I haven't had a serious chat with a mage yet."
"As you can see, the Ming Dynasty has only sent two or three nameless soldiers, and they have already defeated two Tatar commanders..."
"The Tatars only have 60,000 households in total, so the gap in strength between the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty is obvious."
"Furthermore, the Ming Dynasty offered very favorable terms to the Tatars, so why is the Demon Master so insistent on war?"
Pang Ban stared in disbelief: "You actually called the most elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, led by Prince Qin Li Shimin and Li Jing, nameless soldiers?"
"Have you no shame?"
"As for why you insist on fighting?"
"Simply because Pang Ban will never submit to anyone!"
"Besides, do you think it's just my will?"
"Can my will alone unite the will of so many people in such a short time?"
Li Ping suddenly realized, and chuckled, "I get it!"
"You mean, even though the Ming Dynasty offered the Tatars such favorable conditions, many people still preferred to go south and plunder, right?"
"That's true, that's just how you guys are, from ancient times to the present."
"If they can't survive on the grasslands, they come south to rob. In their eyes, what they're doing is no different from what their ancestors did..."
"But have you considered what the price will be?"
Li Ping vanished, and a thunderous roar rose from the ground, followed by a white shockwave in the air. The terrifying sound shook tens of thousands of soldiers on the field, making them lose their footing.
Fortunately, they were far away; otherwise, the shockwave from that blast would have killed countless people!
Pang Ban had already pushed his skills to the limit. No matter how fast Li Ping was, he still couldn't escape his eyes or his senses.
Even Pang Ban felt a jolt in his heart.
Because he couldn't understand what this sweeping wave of air was.
This isn't the primordial energy of heaven and earth; it's just ordinary air. Why has it suddenly become so violent?
And Li Ping has become even faster!
It's so fast it far exceeds human limits, so fast it's almost inhuman!
Pang Ban believed that Li Ping was able to move so quickly because of his supernatural powers, so had his supernatural powers improved again?
But how can I improve my supernatural powers?
Pang Ban had no clue about this problem.
Although he had considered that if he could not merge with the Heavenly Dao through the Refining of Emptiness and Merging with the Dao, he could merge with his own "Seed of the Great Dao," which was supernatural power, he still did not know how to do it.
All thoughts flashed through his mind, and Pang Ban, seemingly slow but actually fast, raised his fist and punched Li Ping.
The ability to control matter with one's mind means that one can completely control one's body with one's mind.
No matter how fast Li Ping is, he can't outrun his thoughts. This means that if his mind can keep up with Li Ping, his body can keep up too!
He didn't use the "Great Three Harmonies" technique; he didn't really want to overwhelm Li Ping with his level of skill.
But the next moment, his pupils dilated suddenly as Li Ping's palm passed through his fist and struck his chest.
An unimaginable, terrifying force sent him flying.
How is this possible?!
The next moment, the primordial energy of heaven and earth roared, transforming into an impregnable wall of bronze and iron, into an invisible force of energy, blocking Li Ping's pursuit.
The Tatars' cheers came to an abrupt halt.
The cheers of the Ming army and the martial arts world resounded through the sky.
Pang Ban pressed his hand to his chest, staring intently at Li Ping: "How is this possible?"
"I understand, I understand!"
"Your supernatural power is the manipulation of time?!"
"It's unbelievable that someone could possess such supernatural powers."
"An ancient legend says that one day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth."
"So, can time actually flow at different speeds?"
"Amazing, truly amazing."
In that instant, Li Ping's palm strikes changed nearly a hundred times in terms of speed. Even though he couldn't catch the final landing point of Li Ping's palm strikes, he lost a move in terms of the change of moves!
That's impossible!
At his level, the variations in his moves are like children playing house.
Because of the speed at which his thoughts operate, the sharpness of his five senses can be increased a hundredfold, and his perception of qi will never be wrong...
However, the change in Li Ping's palm strike did not cause any change in the Qi; it was all a change that seemed impossible...
If the moves can't change like that, why can his speed produce such a terrifying change?
So, this is the only explanation!
These changes were caused by supernatural powers; Li Ping could use these powers to manipulate time...
