Chapter 59 The Power of Taiyin
Who dares to fight?
The entire court, both civil and military, was present around the training ground, and countless martial arts masters had also arrived, but now, not a single one dared to speak.
Even a grandmaster could only fight to a draw with the opponent, so how could anyone else dare to invite such humiliation?
"Is this the martial arts world of the Great Li?"
The young man in black robes smiled. "Emperor, your Great Li has exhausted its talent pool. In my opinion, you can summon Lin Zheng back to the court and hand over the Northwest to us!"
Utterly contemptible!
Emperor Xianxian was extremely composed and remained silent, but his ministers and eunuchs could all sense his anger.
"A bunch of spineless cowards, how about this, I'll take you all at once with one hand, how about it?"
The black-robed youth spoke again, his words dripping with insults!
According to their plan, only by driving Emperor Xianxian to the brink of despair would he hand over the Imperial Seal to Lin Ruoxue…
Currently, they are unable to communicate with Lin Ruoxue and are unaware of the situation, so they can only do their best.
Throughout Dali, everyone wore angry expressions, yet remained silent!
"How disappointing!"
Prince Numochi smiled and said to Emperor Xianxian, "Your Majesty, Dali has no cultivators and is no match for Beihanhajue. How about this, Your Majesty, give my Northern Hu a thousand taels of gold, fifty thousand taels of silver, and ten thousand bolts of cloth as tribute to my Northern Hu. This bet will then be over."
"We can temporarily abandon the Northwest region as well."
Upon hearing this, everyone became even more furious.
If we were to actually give them tribute, it would mean the complete loss of national dignity, which would imply that the Great Li had submitted to the Northern Hu, and this was absolutely unacceptable!
"Summon Lin Ruoxue!"
Emperor Xianxian spoke in a deep voice.
They're already in a bind!
Although I don't know whether Lin Ruoxue has succeeded in her cultivation or not, I can't care about that now!
"Wait a minute—"
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned around and saw that Lin Ruobing had already stood up.
"Why should my sister have to take action against just a mere barbarian from the north?"
Lin Ruobing spoke up, stepping forward directly and saying, "I'll fight you!"
Lin Ruobing was worried. Her sister had fought Bei Hanha yesterday and hadn't shown up today. Could she have been injured? If her sister went into battle again, it would probably be very dangerous!
So, she decided to take action!
Upon seeing this, the entire court and the public were slightly shaken.
No one dared to accept the challenge... It was truly embarrassing.
It's a good thing that some people still dare to stand up; at least it preserves the little face that Dali has left.
"it is good!"
Emperor Xianxian also spoke emphatically.
"Your Majesty,"
At this moment, Li Lan also stood up, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask that if the Queen can win, I request that Your Majesty bestow upon the Queen something!"
Lin Ruobing and Lin Ruoxue are sisters, and there's no stopping them. Since that's the case, the only option is to maximize their benefits!
Li Lan's words were extremely bold, bordering on threatening the emperor, but Emperor Xianxian sensed the confidence in Li Lan's words and couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"
"The Yin Essence of the Mysterious Woman in the hands of these barbarians."
Li Lan said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Li Guan's brows twitched, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
He was determined to get this thing, how dare Li Lan interfere?
Emperor Xianxian also had a fleeting thought, but then nodded: "Alright, if we win, in addition to the Mysterious Maiden's Yin Marrow, I will bestow upon her another ten catties of spiritual treasures!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Lan bowed.
Lin Ruobing then stepped into the arena.
Bei Hanha looked at Lin Ruobing, his face turning cold, and said, "You are no match for me."
"Is that so?"
Lin Ruobing said calmly, "Then why don't you give it a try!"
"You want to die... then I'll grant your wish!"
With a low roar, Bei Hanha took a step closer and raised his hand, sending two arrows of spiritual energy shooting towards Lin Ruobing.
These past two days, his "Qi Arrow Technique" has been invincible; martial arts masters are defeated in one move unless they dodge in time.
But Lin Ruobing remained completely still!
"It's over!"
"Lin Ruobing is going to lose too!"
"Ah, commendable courage, what a pity!"
The onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads.
But, in the next moment, suddenly, a layer of protective energy appeared on Lin Ruobing's body, and Bei Hanha's energy arrow was blocked by this protective energy!
Lin Ruobing is alright!
"what?!"
"How is that possible!"
How could she possibly block it?
Upon seeing this, the entire audience erupted in uproar!
Even the Northern Hu prince Numochitian suddenly sat up, stared at Lin Ruobing, and said, "Impossible!"
"The land of Dali has only just begun to acquire immortal techniques, and spiritual objects appeared much later than in my Northern Hu land. It is simply impossible for anyone to reach the Qi Refining Realm in such a short time..."
His eyes were filled with seriousness and doubt!
The entire court of Dali, including civil and military officials and countless warriors, were utterly shocked.
"Lin Ruobing, is she also a cultivator?"
"How is this possible? How did she do that!"
"Our Great Li actually has a cultivator?"
The martial arts masters, including Kujue, the Sun and Moon Swords, Shi Zhong and Shi Hao, all remained silent, feeling inexplicably powerless.
Lin Ruoxue alone was already suffocating them, and now another Lin Ruobing has appeared, and she's even become a cultivator?
These sisters are just too twisted!
"Are the immortal seeds from Zixia Academy really that strong?"
In the shadows, Shangguan Xiaoxiao, disguised as an ordinary martial artist, watched Lin Ruobing from afar, her eyes filled with a rather solemn expression.
As a celestial being of the Taiyi Sect, she was a mortal enemy of the Zixia Academy. Before this, she had never paid much attention to Lin Ruobing...
But now... Lin Ruobing's performance is truly astonishing.
"She's grown up too fast, it's not normal."
Beside her, Fairy Snow Moon frowned and spoke.
"These days, even immortals are practically descending to earth. What's the point of talking about common sense? Most people who conform to common sense will just blend into the crowd and be eliminated by the times."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, "I also need to work harder and contact Li Lan. That immortal technique must be unsealed!"
A sense of urgency appeared on her face.
……
At this moment, the most shocked people were not the court officials or the many talented martial artists.
Instead, it was Zhu Xianchou standing behind Li Guan!
He was completely stunned at that moment.
Because he knows more information than others.
He already knew that it wasn't Lin Ruoxue who resisted Zuo Tianlong on Qiudao Mountain, but Lin Ruobing. However, at that time, Lin Ruobing's martial arts hadn't even truly reached the top-tier level yet, and she still needed Li Lan's help...
This means that Lin Ruobing's breakthrough to become a cultivator only happened in the last few days!
How can this be? !
He was also very knowledgeable about cultivation methods; even in the immortal realm, refining Qi could take months or even years...
"Brother Li, just how many tricks are you still hiding?"
He couldn't help but glance at Li Lan.
He didn't believe that Lin Ruobing's cultivation came from herself; on the contrary, he was certain that it was all related to Li Lan.
Li Lan is the biggest variable and the biggest surprise!
For a moment, he felt a strange sense of relief.
Now, he and Li Lan are no longer enemies, but fellow Daoists!
……
"The Lin family's twin beauties are truly stunning!"
"Lin Zheng has these two women in his life, he truly has something to be proud of!"
"Great! There is hope for our Great Li!"
All the civil and military officials were filled with complex emotions.
Seeing this, Li Guan was furious, and his eyes turned red!
Lin Ruobing should have been his!
……
"You're also a cultivator..."
Bei Hanha was also taken aback. He finally understood the source of Lin Ruobing's confidence in stepping forward, but he showed no fear and calmly said, "At only the first level of Qi Refining, you are still no match for me!"
"You'll only know after you've fought!"
Lin Ruobing moved swiftly, taking the initiative to attack.
Her speed was in no way slower than Lin Ruoxue's yesterday.
Seeing her fierce approach, Bei Hanha did not dare to underestimate her and made a move to counter her. Both of their hands were covered with flowing spiritual energy, and when they collided, sand and stones flew everywhere!
Bei Hanha was at the second level of Qi Refining, a higher realm, and thus indeed had the upper hand.
However, as the battles continued, Lin Ruobing gradually adapted to the use of spiritual energy, and her condition continued to improve. Her original pure defense had transformed into a combination of offense and defense!
"How could this be?!"
Bei Hanha was somewhat surprised. Lin Ruobing was only at the first level of Qi Refining. Normally, she should have already exhausted her spiritual energy and be unable to resist.
But now it seems she's only just gotten into the zone!
"She is a celestial being from the Zixia Academy, possessing the Taiyin Body. Heh, do you still dare to underestimate those barbarians?"
Suddenly, an old voice came.
It turned out to be Granny Mu, who was by Li Guan's side.
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on!
"The immortal seed of Zixia Academy... no wonder."
"The title 'Celestial Seed' truly lives up to its name!"
"The Zixia Academy has a presence in the Immortal Realm. I didn't expect that they would still retain a method for martial artists to become cultivators?"
The term "immortal seed" seems to provide the best explanation for Lin Ruobing's transformation.
This is also why Li Lan dared to let Lin Ruobing take action. Everyone would naturally attribute her changes to the immortal seed of Zixia Academy, and no one would associate it with Li Lan.
He will not be at risk of being exposed!
However, many people frowned slightly. Granny Mu's reminder to Bei Hanha Jue... clearly showed that she was aiding the enemy!
Clearly, Lin Ruobing's strength posed a huge threat to both the Taiyi Sect and Li Guan, so they wanted to use Bei Han Ha Jue to kill Lin Ruobing.
Upon hearing this, Bei Hanha Jue's expression changed instantly.
"Special physique, no wonder!"
He exerted all his strength, and suddenly his spiritual energy changed. He coldly shouted, "Since that's the case, don't blame me!"
He circulated his spiritual energy, and a small flame instantly sprang up in his palm, forming a tiny fireball.
The fireball shot out directly!
Upon reaching Lin Ruobing, it suddenly exploded, transforming into a massive ball of flame!
"Fairy magic!"
"How terrifying!"
"He can actually control flames!"
If the previous Qi Arrow Technique had some similarities to the internal energy and true qi of martial arts masters, then the Fireball Technique displayed now truly opened everyone's eyes!
This is something that doesn't belong to martial arts at all; it's more like magic, the kind of techniques used by true cultivators.
"Lin Ruobing... is going to be burned to death!"
"She's done!"
Everyone gasped in surprise.
Even Numochitian hesitated for a moment. After all, Lin Ruobing was Lin Ruoxue's sister... But in the end, he did not make any move. Whether she intended it or not, getting involved in this matter was her fate!
"teacher!"
Li Yue subconsciously spoke to Li Lan.
"It's alright."
Li Lan said softly.
He had barely finished speaking.
boom!
In the training ground, a loud bang was heard, and the flames seemed to be swept up by the wind. A figure rushed out from the flames, her body shimmering with milky white moonlight, and even the flames could not harm her in the slightest!
She was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, she was already in front of Bei Han Ha Jue, striking out with a palm!
"impossible!"
Bei Hanha was greatly surprised. The fireball spell had exhausted his spiritual energy, and he couldn't replenish it in time. At this moment, he tried his best to activate the light shield spell, but the spell only flashed for a moment before Lin Ruobing's palm was already on his chest!
puff!
Bei Hanha was sent flying backward, crashing heavily dozens of steps away, spitting out blood and turning pale!
He... lost!
