Chapter 37: Dongfang Bubai breaks through the defenses, am I the Demonic Cult or are you the Demonic
"Yingying, come here, let your Uncle Dongfang take a good look at you..."
Dongfang Bubai stopped outside Hengyang City, where Ren Yingying and a group of wandering martial arts practitioners came to pay their respects.
These wandering martial artists did not hold high positions within the Sun Moon Cult, but since Dongfang Bubai rarely traveled the martial world, they naturally went to great lengths to pay him a visit.
Ren Yingying walked up, and Dongfang Bubai exclaimed, "You've grown even more beautiful with age! I wonder which lucky young man will be able to marry you!"
He was incredibly envious of Ren Yingying's beauty; why did he have to be born a man...?
If I could trade places with you, I would discard anything—the title of "Number One in the World" or "Leader of the Sun Moon Cult"—like worn-out shoes.
But God has eyes, and now I have a chance.
With the blessing of the immortals, I will definitely have a chance to become a girl, after all, immortals are omnipotent!
Ren Yingying gave a slight bow: "Uncle Dongfang, I just heard a rumor..."
Dongfang Bubai chuckled and said, "It's not a rumor! Yes, I lost a move. That kid named Li Ping is really skilled."
"That bitch Huang Rong is also skilled in martial arts, and her looks are no less than yours, but she's blind and has taken a fancy to this pretty boy."
He frankly admitted that he had lost.
However, the followers couldn't accept it. One follower angrily said, "That Li Ping, fighting two against one, still wanted the Five Mountains Sword Sect to besiege the sect leader and distract him. He's utterly shameless!"
"Otherwise, how could he possibly be a match for the cult leader?"
Having witnessed Dongfang Bubai's unpredictable martial arts skills before, the followers did not harbor any disloyalty towards Dongfang Bubai's defeat; on the contrary, they became even more loyal.
Dongfang Bubai was quite magnanimous: "No matter what, he is still a junior. It is only right that he fights two against one."
"Oh? Little Phoenix is here too. Little Phoenix has grown even more beautiful and delicate. She's so lovely to look at."
"Ping Yizhi is here too, so can you guys take a look for me?"
"Before I fought Li Ping, he poisoned me. I don't know what kind of poison it was, but it made my internal energy dissipate and my blood stagnate..."
"I took Tianxiang Detoxifying Pills and Tianxiong Detoxifying Pills, which barely suppressed the toxicity, but some residue remains..."
She openly admitted to being poisoned, showing no fear of her subordinates causing trouble. This confidence made Ren Yingying dare not utter a sound.
Upon hearing this, the followers launched into a tirade of curses.
"They actually poisoned him!?"
"Despicable! Shameless! These people claim to be righteous, yet they are so utterly despicable!"
"I have never seen such a shameless person."
"Master, have me gather men; we must take Li Ping's head."
Dongfang Bubai chuckled and said, "In the martial world, when it comes to life and death, people will naturally stop at nothing. I was poisoned by him, so I naturally lost a move. There's nothing to say about it."
Then Ping Yizhi and Lan Fenghuang stepped forward to take Dongfang Bubai's pulse.
Lan Fenghuang frowned and said, "This poison has peculiar properties; I've never seen it before, but it must have contained aconite, datura, and strychnine..."
She rattled off more than a dozen names of poisons.
Ping Yizhi nodded and said, "The medicinal properties are unique. There are a few ingredients that I cannot identify. The person who poisoned this must be a master of poisons."
After discussing it for a while, Ping Yizhi said, "Using the Crimson Sun Snow Melting Pill, the Ice Soul Jade Toad Pill, the Three Yang Blood Activating Pill, and the Hundred Herbs Rejuvenating Pill... should be able to solve the problem!"
After speaking, he took out a pill, which Dongfang Bubai swallowed directly. He felt the poison completely removed and felt much more relaxed.
At this moment, Ping Yizhi suddenly felt his body go limp, and saw that the members of the Sun Moon Sect and those wandering martial artists in the woods were all collapsing to the ground.
Without saying a word, Ping Yizhi immediately took out the antidote, giving one to Ren Yingying and one to himself. As for the others, he couldn't help them, as these pills were precious and he didn't have many on him!
Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai flew into a rage: "Li Ping, you despicable scoundrel..."
They poisoned me again?
Again!
Is this never going to end?!
Poisoning people in the woods can paralyze so many; what kind of poison is so potent?
Those members of the Sun Moon Cult who heard this cursed even more venomously.
But in an instant, Dongfang Bubai felt something was wrong. With Li Ping's lightness skill, how could he not feel it if he got close and poisoned him?
Li Ping's movements are unpredictable, but his lightness skill is just average!
If it wasn't him, could it be...?
Dongfang Bubai's expression shifted, and he saw a green shadow darting out of the forest. In terms of pure speed, even the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique could not compare. It was none other than the Green-Winged Bat King, Wei Yixiao.
Dongfang Bubai, being particular about appearances, naturally wouldn't run away in disarray, so he and Li Ping quickly found the location of the Sun Moon Sect.
The two met on the road, and since they had a common enemy, they could cooperate.
Su Ying had already used up the original version of Yourenzui, and the ingredients for Yourenzui were hard to find. Su Ying had prepared two more doses in recent days, but the effect was not as good as the original.
Li Ping's lightness skill was inferior to Wei Yixiao's, so he handed over the "Drunken Traveler" to Wei Yixiao, asking him to poison it.
Seeing how potent this poison was, Wei Yixiao was also alarmed; it was probably similar to the Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder.
That Li Ping is really cunning!
Then, Wei Yixiao waved his cloak and threw down several jars, which were still hissing with sparks.
Dongfang Bubai's expression changed drastically: "Thunderclap, I freaking..."
Who in the martial arts world would use a thunderbolt like that?!
But Wei Yixiao had fought against the Tartars back then. He had used firearms, not to mention thunderclaps. He was fearless.
Dongfang Bubai retreated, dodging the explosions of the thunderous bombs, but many of his followers were injured, screaming in pain and cursing even more filthily.
Amidst the explosion, Dongfang Bubai heard a different sound of wind breaking behind him!
Dongfang Bubai sneered, "Boy, you're shameless."
He drew his longsword, turned around, and with a flash of sword light, he exchanged more than a dozen blows with Li Ping in an instant.
Using an embroidery needle would increase speed, but reduce attack power.
In the original timeline, he overpowered four masters at Blackwood Cliff, but failed to kill any of them because the rusted needles were not powerful enough.
Therefore, when facing Li Ping this time, he chose to use his sword.
On the other side, only Ren Yingying, Ping Yizhi, and Lan Fenghuang were not poisoned, and Wei Yixiao intercepted the three of them.
Wei Yixiao was prepared for a fierce battle, but after exchanging blows, he discovered that these people seemed a bit...
Are they showing up but not putting in the effort?
Wei Yixiao didn't understand why, but he couldn't be happier.
The battle between Li Ping and Dongfang Bubai was just like before. Li Ping was fearless and each move was meant to kill the other, leaving Dongfang Bubai, whose martial arts were far superior to his, helpless.
But Dongfang Bubai was not flustered at all. After all, he no longer needed to spare any attention to suppress Yourenzui. Although he was injured, the problem was not particularly serious.
With his cultivation level, as long as he could hold out until Li Ping's true energy was exhausted, Li Ping would be at his mercy.
In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged over a hundred moves, their ghostly figures silencing the followers!
Although Li Ping was shameless, he was truly powerful, and they admired him so much that they dared not curse him anymore.
Without Huang Rong's support this time, Li Ping was unable to catch his breath and could not hold on after 150 moves, revealing his biggest weakness.
Dongfang Bubai was overjoyed. His sword light flickered, clearly pointing at Li Ping's left shoulder, but for some reason it suddenly turned and deflected Li Ping's sword, piercing Li Ping's heart.
Dongfang Bubai breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, his claim of being indestructible was a lie. I was actually fooled by him before.
In this situation, Li Ping's internal energy was depleted, and even if he wanted to perish together with himself, it was impossible...
Holy crap...
Dongfang Bubai's defenses were breached in an instant!
Because Li Ping was not only unharmed by the sword in his chest, but his true energy had also recovered to its peak, and his sword speed was so fast that even he couldn't dodge it in time, and his arm was cut.
Dongfang Bubai was first furious, then overjoyed: "This isn't indestructible! This is immortality!"
"Is the blessing from immortals really this mysterious!?"
His eyes gleamed with greed: "Kid, your divine blessing is mine now."
Li Ping shook his head and said, "This is the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill. I don't blame you for not understanding it."
"However, the outcome is already decided..."
Dongfang Bubai was taken aback, and then felt that his true energy was slow and his blood and qi were stagnant.
poison?
I've been poisoned again.
That scoundrel even poisoned the sword.
What the hell is this person?
Don't you have any shame, no pride as a martial artist?
Are you a demonic cult or am I a demonic cult?
Li Ping unleashed a sword flash, its light flowing like mercury towards Dongfang Bubai, giving him no time to take the antidote...
