Chapter 63

This disciple of the Tianlang Sect has only opened up eight life souls, but his Heavenly Horse Divine Fist is also quite formidable. After barely escaping with his life, he suddenly saw Bailuolu blocking his way, and his heart trembled slightly, feeling a bit timid. He shouted, "Are you also from the Huabao Gang?"

Bailuolu shook her head slightly, deliberately acting a bit foolish, and said incoherently, "I am from Xiong'er Fort, not a vicious thug of the Huabao Gang."

Hearing that Ningyue was not from the Huabao Gang, the Tianlang Sect disciple immediately felt more courageous and shouted, "If you're not from the Huabao Gang, you dare to block the path of Master Yan? Die for me!" Without any further words, he suddenly launched a fierce attack, waving his hand, and a fist imprint flew through the air, striking Bailuolu's chest forcefully.

Ningyue recognized this skill, which was the innate ability of the life soul "Stepping on Stone," and was not worried about Bailuolu.

The life soul "Stepping on Stone" is one of the twenty-four life souls of the Heavenly Horse Battle Will Spirit, capable of condensing soul power into objects like hooves, hammers, and fists to strike enemies from a distance.

This life soul's ability is not particularly strange but is extremely practical, especially when used unexpectedly. A single move can often achieve surprising effects, similar to the inner family's Air-Splitting Palm and Hundred-Step Divine Fist, but with at least ten times the power.

Bailuolu was not without ways to dodge. Ningyue, proficient in the Wu Zhong Step and the peerless lightness skill, had also taught her much. Avoiding this move would not be difficult, but why should she bother to dodge?

Bailuolu's Great Dharmadhatu Technique had already reached the fourth level, the Great Peng Dharmadhatu. If in the Yuan Dynasty, she would have been a master with this skill alone. Ordinary knives and swords, unless infused with abundant inner family true qi, could not penetrate her protective qi.

Bailuolu took a deep breath and let out a loud shout, her small chest puffing out as she endured the strike of "Stepping on Stone." Her body trembled slightly, and her full qi rebounded, actually shattering the life soul technique's ability with her protective qi.

Bailuolu activated her Great Dharmadhatu Technique, and her soul power circulated through her body. Realizing she was not injured, she felt a great joy and gained more confidence.

The Tianlang Sect disciple, seeing Bailuolu endure his strike and appear unharmed, was inwardly shocked.

Although the Nine Heavens Realm is extremely martial, its cultivation methods are still rooted in life soul techniques, and there are few techniques like the Golden Bell Cover, Iron Shirt, or various external training methods.

After all, the abilities of life souls are varied, and even the strongest physical defenses are useless. Moreover, some life souls have defensive abilities.

The Tianlang Sect disciple did not know that Bailuolu had purely relied on her physical strength to withstand his strike, thinking she had some powerful life soul to resist his "Stepping on Stone."

His strike failing, he flipped his hands and struck fiercely. When he attacked, he was still dozens of steps away from Bailuolu, but in an instant, he was in front of her, pressing his palms towards the girl's chest.

This strike was just ordinary martial technique, nothing special, but the method of closing the distance so quickly greatly surprised Bailuolu.

She did not know that this was not some superior lightness skill but the ability of the life soul "Chasing the Wind" from the Heavenly Horse Battle Will Spirit, which could chase the wind and follow the air, instantly increasing speed to the extreme, as if riding the wind.

This time, Bailuolu did not block the attack directly. Instead, she circled her left hand, and her right hand fiercely thrust through the palm circle, using half of the Tai Chi Cloud Hand and half of the Great Boulder Hand. This combination of one soft and one hard move was truly ingenious.

Bailuolu's martial arts, personally taught by Ningyue, were fully displayed in this move. She could seamlessly combine these two vastly different martial arts, perfectly neutralizing the Tianlang Sect disciple's palm strike and even counterattacking. If another top martial artist of her level saw this, they would certainly be greatly impressed by the move's ingenious changes.

But to the Tianlang Sect disciple, it was incomprehensible. He could not understand why this seemingly "foolish" little girl, with just a casual swipe, made him involuntarily fall to the side, and then a simple punch could strike his chest.

When Bailuolu's punch hit the enemy, her wrist slightly sank and twisted, generating drilling and flipping forces.

This skill was learned by Yan Jifeng during his travels to Wudang, where he met a young Taoist named Zhang Lata. Yan Jifeng and Zhang Lata hit it off immediately, sitting and discussing Dao. This person was also a top martial artist, who was creating a new boxing technique called "Tai Chi."

At that time, Yan Jifeng did not know that this person would become the founder of the Wudang lineage, Zhang Sanfeng, who revolutionized Chinese martial arts and created a never-before-seen martial arts landscape. However, he still praised the embryonic form of this boxing technique, predicting that it would become a supreme martial art in the future.

The two exchanged martial arts, and Ningyue traded a sword technique for this Tai Chi. If he used it himself, it would be no less than the skills of the creator, Zhang Sanfeng. Bailuolu, guided by Ningyue, was like being personally taught by Zhang Sanfeng. Her Tai Chi was truly boneless and fiercely powerful.

This Tianlang Sect disciple had never seen such a marvelous martial art. The martial arts of the Daxia Dynasty focus more on how to use life souls, and the boxing techniques are designed to fully cooperate with the life soul abilities, so the techniques themselves lack subtlety.

When observing, Bailuolu did not notice, but when they engaged in combat, she found that her opponent's boxing technique was slow and even his protective qi was not activated. This strike immediately made the Tianlang Sect disciple spew blood from his mouth and nose, falling back several steps.

The Tianlang Sect disciple did not expect this little girl to be so skilled. He let out a fierce shout and used the sect's orthodox Heavenly Horse Divine Fist, launching eighteen consecutive punches, using the swift and unparalleled Heavenly Horse Eight Extremes technique, which was indeed formidable and awe-inspiring.

Bailuolu alternated between punches and palm strikes, exchanging sixteen or seventeen moves with the Tianlang Sect disciple, using eight different martial arts. She had already identified many of her opponent's weaknesses but was not in a hurry to defeat this uninvited enemy. Instead, she wanted to use this combat to hone her skills.

Bailuolu was not in a hurry to decide the outcome, and the Tianlang Sect disciple lacked the ability to defeat her. They fought for over a hundred moves.

The Tianlang Sect disciple used the abilities of his eight life souls in combination with the Heavenly Horse Divine Fist, which was quite ingenious, earning Ningyue's admiration. However, he often shook his head in secret because the Tianlang Sect disciple pursued the power of the boxing technique too much and relied too heavily on the life soul abilities, leaving many flaws in the technique's changes.
