Chapter 382: Li Longling, Heaven Splitting Sword!
“Longling, the Hehuan Sect’s charm will turn the caster himself into the most trusted person of the charming person. If it is a father, it will turn into his child. If it is you, you will likely see your Father.”
Li Longling leaned in his arms, nodded her lips and thought for a while, then said, “Then as long as I keep in mind that he is fake, I won’t fall for it, right?”
“This is the truth, but it is like many truths. It sounds easy to understand, but in practice, it is very difficult. When you meet her, you must not hesitate at all. I don’t ask you to beat her, you just need to help me hold her down…”
“Um…”
“Also, Lu Meimei’s natal spiritual weapon is a long whip, which is fifteen feet long. You are not a swordsman or a physical practitioner, so do not fight her in close combat.”
…
That night, when she was leaning on Ye Anping’s chest in the room of the Inn Apartment, the words she heard replayed in Li Longling’s mind.
Looking at Ye Anping in front of her through Ah Feng’s eyes, Li Longling pursed her lips slightly. She had never realized before that Ye Anping had already surpassed her father in her heart.
So much so that even a charm cultivator would take on the appearance, voice, and smell of Ye Anping…
Putting the two fire talismans in her sleeves on his face, Li Longling quickly jumped back, and the small hand in her sleeves stood in front of his chest like a sword:
“Summon!”
With a command, the yellow talisman attached to both sides of “Ye Anping’s” cheeks instantly glowed with a fiery red aura.
Boom——
The flames detonated by the two talismans instantly filled the entire semi-enclosed cave and spurted out from the mouth of the cave, spitting out a fire dragon like an erupting volcano. However, the next moment, an icy blue spiritual light flashed through, expelling all the smoke and dust in the cave.
Ye Anping stood at the entrance of the cave. At that time, the skin of half of his face had turned into a skeleton of flesh and blood, with two rows of teeth exposed. He covered his face with a slightly painful left hand and held a black ice spirit sword in his right hand. He looked at Li Longling who quickly distanced himself from him, with a slightly innocent look in his eyes.
“Longling, it’s me… It hurts so much… Lu Meimei hasn’t come yet. Longling, you’ve been under a spell!! Wake up quickly!! It’s me… your Anping!!”
Shouts of pain echoed through the cave. However, Li Longling showed no mercy at all and murmured, “I can’t hesitate.”
Then he waved his sleeves and threw out several talismans again, shooting towards the man she trusted most in front of her, drawing streaks of fiery red light in mid-air. Seeing that Li Longling still hadn’t been hit, Lu Meimei couldn’t wait any longer. Every talisman in this girl’s hand was almost a high-grade talisman close to the level of a spiritual treasure. Each blow was equivalent to a full blow from a fake alchemy realm cultivator.
Perhaps there was no big threat to those who were in the same realm as her and who were in the middle stage of alchemy cultivation, such as law cultivation, sword cultivation, and physical cultivation. But she was a charming cultivator from the Hehuan Sect!
What the Meixiu cultivators were good at was bewitching, alienating, collecting intelligence, and causing the enemy to become confused and fight among themselves in the melee.
Rather than a one-on-one fight with someone.
If she had been slower to react just now and failed to protect her body with spiritual energy, the two talismans that this stinky girl put on her face would have been enough to burn her delicate face.
Lu Meimei also knew very well that neither her body nor the amount of aura in her golden core could compare to the sword cultivators, body cultivators, and law cultivators of the same realm.
But!
That was also limited to the same realm. The stinky girl in front of her was just a junior in the middle stage of foundation-building!
Lu Meimei’s charming fox eyes suddenly widened, she gritted her teeth and pulled out a long silver whip with countless barbs from her storage bag:
“You stinky girl!! If you don’t eat the toast, you will be fined with alcohol!!”
He leaned over and flicked it, and the long cone at the tip of the whip instantly turned into an air-piercing arrow, shooting towards the throat of Li Longling, who was jumping back in the air. However, Li Longling, who had calculated the distance, suddenly tapped the ground with her toes, stepped to a halt, and stood with her sword pointed in front of her chest.
“Summon!”
The talisman just thrown exploded into bursts of fire, wrapping Lu Meimei who was standing there, and the long whip she threw stopped exactly five inches in front of Li Longling’s neck.
“Exactly fifteen feet… Anping was right.”
Whispering, Li Longling once again called out a few talismans from her sleeves, condensing the spiritual energy in her body on the talismans. However, the next moment, Lu Meimei used her spiritual power to protect her body, and with her cultivation in the Core Formation stage, she was able to withstand the wall of fire formed by those talismans. She took a step forward and waved her wrist vigorously.
The long whip that stopped in front of Li Longling’s throat continued to thrust forward.
Li Longling had no choice but to put down the talisman in her hand temporarily and turned her head to dodge.
Swish——
The silver whip shaved off Li Longling’s hair behind her ears. Seeing this, Lu Meimei raised the corners of her mouth slightly and twisted her wrist.
The silver whip that originally passed by Li Longling’s ear turned into a “U”-shaped arc in mid-air and went from behind her to her right shoulder, the chrysanthemum of the fire phoenix, to give it to her. Her fire phoenix clears the intestines and stomach.
Ah, Feng reacted quickly and turned around to see the whip coming from behind. Li Longling also calmly placed a thunder talisman prepared in her hand against the whip on the side of her face while squatting down.
Boom——
The thunder talisman exploded into a white light and turned into a thunder snake. It followed the path of the whip in Lu Meimei’s hand and quickly spread towards her right hand holding the whip.
Lu Meimei reacted very quickly and immediately smashed the silver whip towards the ground. When it touched the floor of the cave, the thunder snake coiled on the whip was instantly introduced to the ground, smashing open countless splashes of lava on the mud and stone.
Boom–
At the same time, Li Longling also took the opportunity to jump ten feet away in another direction.
Lu Meimei did not pursue the victory, but quickly brought the whip to her side, looking at Li Longling with her charming fox eyes, who was now almost leaning against the wall of the cave.
“Ah…”
After a sneer.
Swish——
The sound of clothes tearing was heard, and a big hole opened in the sleeve of Li Longling’s left shoulder. There was also a horrific bleeding wound on the exposed smooth left shoulder. On the other hand, Lu Meimei, although she received so many talismans from Li Longling directly, only had some damage to her robes and some burns on her cheeks.
Even if a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage had so many high-quality talismans, it was not easy to break through the body-protecting aura of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
As for the cultivators in the middle stage of core formation, even a casual blow of the whip could cause bone-deep lacerations on the body of the cultivators in the foundation stage.
Lu Meimei looked at Li Longling who was leaning against the rock wall and said with a smile:
“This is the first time I have seen a cultivator like you who is obviously blind but can still have such insight and reaction speed. If you had been too late to hide just now, your left hand would have fallen off.”
“…”
Lu Meimei’s eyes turned to the fire phoenix on Li Longling’s right shoulder:
“I’m not mistaken, you rely on this smelly bird to see things, right?”
Li Longling put her hands behind her back, frowned, and replied, “No comment.”
“What an unpleasant girl.” Lu Meimei spread her hands and said with a smile, “Just now you called me Anping, is that person your Daoist companion?”
“…”
“I promise you, after I remove your two arms, I will find your Daoist companion and enjoy your pork belly with him!!!”
Amidst the loud shouts, the long whip in Lu Meimei’s right hand danced wildly. The visual ability of birds was the strongest among all living creatures. In their eyes, even arrows were as slow as caterpillars.
Li Longling also relied on Ah Feng’s excellent vision to capture the movements of Lu Meimei’s hands and then predict the trajectory of the whip in her hand. She bit her lip slightly and looked at the long whip that was swinging toward her shoulder. She used her left hand as a sword finger to stick the talisman in the path of the long whip.
Ding–
The collision between the paper and the iron whip made a sharp sound. Lu Meimei was surprised for a moment when she saw it. This girl used a diamond talisman to catch her whip. This reaction speed and control of the talisman were far beyond the ordinary foundation-building period practitioners.
At least in her memory, there were not many cultivators who could do this. At the moment when the whip was about to fall on her body, she should stick the Vajra Talisman on her whip, and at the same time mobilize her spiritual power to activate the talisman. Once the timing was not mastered well, even if it was earlier or later, the talisman and her fingers would be destroyed together. Cutting the whip into two pieces.
“…”
Lu Meimei was surprised by Li Longling’s behavior, but to put it bluntly, it was just a flashy little cleverness.
So what if you blocked her whip with a talisman?
A mere mid-stage foundation-building cultivator, even if she stood and let this girl hit her, this girl might not be able to hurt her roots.
Ding–
The moment the whip was deflected by the talisman, Lu Meimei turned around and continued to swing the whip.
Ding– Ding ding——
Every time, Li Longling blocked it with her fingers standing on the talisman. The strong wind drawn by the whip roared in the cave, and with every sound of iron striking, sparks and dents were produced on the rock wall beside Li Longling and behind.
Lu Meimei looked at Li Longling who was leaning against the wall calmly and asked:
“It’s pretty awesome, but…”
Whoosh——
As Lu Meimei spoke, her eyes staring at Li Longling’s face suddenly turned to the fire phoenix on her right shoulder. At the same time, her right hand, which swung the long whip, stopped suddenly.
After Li Longling saw it through Ah Feng’s eyes, she couldn’t help biting her lips and quickly lifted a diamond talisman, but it was probably because of the sudden change in rhythm…
Swish——ding——
“Hey——!”
Fiery red feathers flew.
With a roar, the sharp head of the whip in Lu Meimei’s hand penetrated directly through Ah Feng’s chest, nailing it from Li Longling’s shoulder to the rock wall behind.
In Li Longling’s field of vision, her back was reflected, then slowly dimmed, and finally turned into total darkness.
Whoosh——
The sound of breaking through the air came to her ears. She bit her lip slightly and put the Vajra Talisman in front of her left arm. Then the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder and the soles of her feet left the ground.
Boom–
Her right shoulder seemed to hit the rock wall…
She should have been whipped away. Li Longling, who relied on her hearing to identify her direction, confirmed that Lu Meimei’s direction deviated by about thirty degrees. In other words, she was whipped away by this whip for about twelve degrees.
“Can’t you see it?”
A joking voice came from afar. Li Longling bit her lip and roughly calculated an inaccurate orientation map in her mind.
Lu Meimei was on her right, about fifteen feet away.
“Anping…”
“Huh? Do you want your Daoist companion to save you now?”
Lu Meimei listened to her murmur, took back the long whip that held the fire phoenix, and said with a smile:
“How can you still cry when you are blind? Cry~ My sister likes to comfort people. Let me tell you, how many people have come to you? What did your Daoist companion do?”
Li Longling replied calmly:
“Going to kill a demon cultivator named Wu Tianci.”
“Huh? Brother Wu? He’s not easy to deal with~ Brother Wu is also one of the top cultivators in the Heavenly Demon Sect’s core formation stage. It seems that I can’t let you Daoist companion live and let me eat your flesh.”
“You can’t eat it either…”
Li Longling relied on her senses to face Lu Meimei, who was walking towards her, and raised the hand-made sword finger hidden behind her back slightly.
The fire phoenix, which had only one breath left, struggled to spread its wings.
Ah——!!
The fire phoenix’s spiritual scream was reflected several times in the semi-enclosed cave, causing cracks to appear on the rock surface of the ceiling.
Lu Meimei immediately couldn’t help but cover her ears, and turned to look at Ah Feng in shock. Li Longling, who was sitting on the ground beside her, had streams of blood oozing out of her ears.
Boom——
The two fire talismans that Li Longling had placed at the entrance of the cave exploded instantly, exploding countless rubbles that directly blocked the entrance of the cave. At the same time, a large amount of smoke was raised, turning the entire cave interior into a lightless chamber.
Li Longling heard the noise and quickly got up and ran to the other side. Lu Meimei, who had lost her vision, heard the noise and immediately ran away with her whip.
Boom–
The sound of the rock wall breaking.
The whip failed.
Lu Meimei frowned slightly and dismissed Li Longling’s tricks. It was obvious that she wanted to close her vision and hearing.
But, even so, so what?
It was impossible for a Dharma cultivator with only a talisman to break through her body-protecting spiritual power. Moreover, she could also use her spiritual consciousness to find Li Longling’s location.
“Smelly girl… What other tricks do you want to play?”
Lu Meimei frowned slightly and used her spiritual consciousness to explore Li Longling’s position, only to find that she was standing three feet behind her. She didn’t want to play with Li Longling anymore, so she immediately turned around and swung the whip with all her strength, intending to split the blind girl in two from her forehead.
Whoosh——
The iron whip was like silver and swung straight toward where she perceived Li Longling.
But…
Ding–
The sparks from the collision of iron tools illuminated the dark cave for a moment. Lu Meimei originally thought that this girl was lucky and used the diamond talisman to block her iron whip, but the brief firelight illuminated a faint blue sword that looked like a pool of clear water.
Relying on her senses, Li Longling used her spiritual sword in her hand to deflect the long whip that fell from her head. Then she leaned over and stepped forward, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands.
Swish——
A faint blue glow flashed. Lu Meimei felt a sharp pain in her chest as if she had eaten something bad, and something came out of her stomach and into her mouth. She gritted her teeth and immediately waved the whip.
Whoosh——
Swish——
Li Longling felt that something had penetrated half of her left shoulder, but she did not hesitate, held the hilt of the sword in her hand, gritted her teeth, and slashed hard. Then she held the sword with her right hand and swung it with her backhand according to the sword technique her father had taught her.
She couldn’t see where Lu Meimei was, and she couldn’t hear her at the moment, but the spiritual sword in her hand felt like it was cutting flesh.
Swish——
“You!!! Uh-”
Swish——
“Where did you get the sword?! This sword… Uh…”
Swish——
“You blind girl, ahhhh! What is this sword?”
There were sounds of penetration, accompanied by some unclear shouts. She knew what Lu Meimei seemed to be saying, but she couldn’t hear it.
Following the last move of the sword technique, the spirit sword in Li Longling’s hand passed across Lu Meimei’s neck, and she finally responded:
“This sword is called Heaven Splitting Sword. It is the spiritual sword that my father Li Feng left to the future master of the Chilong Mansion!!”
As soon as the words fell, the sword blade also scratched Lu Meimei’s neck, and Li Longling had no strength to hold the sword hilt anymore.
She threw the Heaven-Splitting Sword directly and plunged into the rock wall.
In the next moment–
Thump–
Li Longling fell forward and felt like she had landed on something soft and feeling that the soft thing was getting colder, she felt a little relieved and relaxed:
“Anping… I said I am not a flower vase, haha…”
…
