Chapter 82

Xiaoran had been in the Tang Dynasty world for two months. During this time, he not only fully recovered from his injuries but also learned the Longevity Technique, advancing to the third level of Qi cultivation, significantly enhancing his strength.

Further cultivation was becoming slower, so Xiaoran felt a bit restless and wanted to move around.

When he asked the Twin Dragons, these two, who had learned advanced martial arts, also felt restless and were willing to go with Xiaoran to explore the world of martial arts!

They wanted to see what the world of martial arts they had longed for looked like!

On their journey, they witnessed many tragic scenes, and it was the first time Xiaoran saw what a chaotic world looked like!

Truly, human life was worse than that of dogs, and lives were as cheap as grass!

Xiaoran's goal was the Flying Horse Ranch. With the chaos already here, to achieve his plans, a powerful army was definitely necessary!

Otherwise, even if he were the best martial artist in the world, it would be impossible to unify the world!

In ancient battlefields, cavalry was the king, and apart from the great grasslands, in this world of martial arts, the Flying Horse Ranch was the best place to produce warhorses!

As you can see, Li Mi and Li Yuan, these great figures, all cooperated with the Flying Horse Ranch!

Li Shimin's Black Armor Cavalry dominated the world, making Kou Zhong drool!

One day, as they approached a small county, Xiaoran suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing. He then said to the Twin Dragons, "There's a fight over there. I'll go check it out first! Follow me!"

With that, he used his lightness skill and flew towards the source of the sound.

In a dense forest, a man with a tall headdress, a stern face, and a rigid expression, waved his hand, and his wide sleeves knocked away the long sword of the young man opposite him!

The young man, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a robust build and dark skin, retreated five steps after this blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood and collapsing to the ground!

A pretty village girl rushed to the young man's side, shouting, "Big Brother Li, Big Brother Li, what's wrong with you..."

The young man spat out another mouthful of blood and laughed bitterly, "I never thought the Chief Steward would come after me personally. How fortunate I am, Li Jing!"

Facing life and death, he showed no fear, truly a brave man!

At this moment, Xiaoran, hearing these words, was stunned. This was Li Jing, the Li Jing I was thinking of!

Is that village girl Su Su?

Is this man with a rooster-like hairstyle, called the Chief Steward, Du Fuwei?

This Du Fuwei was completely different from the one in Xiaoran's history books. Not only was he over fifty, but he was also a top-notch martial artist, perfect for testing Xiaoran's strength in this world!

Moreover, saving Li Jing might give him a chance to recruit this famous Tang Dynasty general!

Xiaoran was good at fighting, but he had no experience in warfare. It would be best to have some professionals as subordinates!

Du Fuwei said, "Li Jing, you killed my subordinates for this village girl and also killed my law enforcement team. I was wondering what kind of person you were!

But reputation is not as good as meeting in person. Your Ten Blood Battles are nothing special!

But to withstand my ten moves is not bad. If you are willing to return to the army, I will not hold past grievances against you and will let you atone for your sins..."

"Who?"

Xiaoran, without concealing his movements, flew over, drew his long sword, and transformed it into a streak of light, slashing towards Du Fuwei!

Du Fuwei, a top-notch martial artist in the world of martial arts, was no weaker than the heads of the four great clans.

But facing such a sword, he felt a chill in his heart, as if walking naked on an icy plain.

He raised his large hand, using his famous "Sleeve of the Universe" technique to the fullest, meeting the terrifying sword light!

The sound of clashing metal rang out, and the two exchanged countless blows in an instant, then passed each other!

Xiaoran sheathed his sword, while Du Fuwei's wide sleeves fluttered and shattered like butterflies, though he was not injured, he was in a terrible state!

Li Jing's eyes widened. Regardless of Du Fuwei's reputation in the world of martial arts, he had personally experienced Du Fuwei's strength. Du Fuwei had not used his full power against him and still left him powerless!

And this young man had defeated Du Fuwei with a single sword strike!

When did such a powerful young martial artist appear in the world of martial arts?

Du Fuwei sensed the threat of death in that sword strike. Given his character, he would not fight to the death if he could not win. However, although Xiaoran had sheathed his sword, he felt that Xiaoran was still locked onto him, and any movement would result in a full attack from Xiaoran!

The martial artists in this world had such keen intuition!

Xiaoran used his Phoenix Eye to look at Li Jing. Du Fuwei had not used lethal force because he recognized Li Jing's talent. Although Li Jing had lost his fighting ability, he was not in danger of losing his life!

Xiaoran handed a healing pill to Su Su and said, "Give it to him!"

After saying this, he turned to Du Fuwei and smiled lightly, "So you are the Chief Steward with the Sleeve of the Universe. How many of my sword strikes do you think you can withstand?"

When Xiaoran turned, Du Fuwei had several times wanted to attack, but he could not find an opportunity. This young man's martial arts were truly terrifying!

But he had regained his calm, the mindset of a top-notch martial artist, maintaining composure no matter the situation: "Your martial arts are unparalleled, something I have rarely seen in my life!

But to say you can definitely defeat me, I don't believe it!

If you want to fight, let's fight. No need for empty talk!"

Xiaoran said, "I am asking very seriously. I think I can take your head with ten sword strikes!"

Du Fuwei laughed coldly, "Ten sword strikes? Do you think you are Ning Daoqi or Fu Cailin?!"

Even Li Jing thought Xiaoran was being overly confident!

Xiaoran said, "Let's try it!"

With that, Xiaoran's figure flashed, using the Plum Blossom Body Technique, rushing towards Du Fuwei. From ten zhang away, he unleashed a "Repentant Dragon" strike!

A mass of tangible, colorful true qi from the third level of Qi cultivation struck Du Fuwei!

Du Fuwei's face tightened. Could your true qi attack me from ten zhang away?

He did not believe it, but at that moment, Xiaoran had already closed to five zhang and unleashed another "Repentant Dragon" strike.

Two powerful palm forces叠加 together, surging like a tsunami towards Du Fuwei!

Du Fuwei's face changed. He dared not let Xiaoran continue like this. His body rushed forward, and his arm guard drew a strange arc in the air, trembling wildly, tearing through Xiaoran's palm force and striking Xiaoran's throat like lightning!

At this moment, Xiaoran did not dodge or evade, but unleashed another "Repentant Dragon" strike. Three palm forces叠加 together, and Li Jing and Su Su saw nothing but a whirlwind of true qi, hearing nothing but the roar of true qi, making them feel as if they were in the eye of a tornado!

Xiaoran's palm struck Du Fuwei's arm guard. Du Fuwei's face changed, and his arm guard cleverly turned back to his arm, using his arm to block Xiaoran's "Repentant Dragon"!

Boom...

Du Fuwei was struck as if by lightning, staggering back ten steps. He raised his hand and saw that his steel arm guard, which had accompanied him for decades, was bent and cracked, about to shatter!

And his right hand bone was also cracked!

Du Fuwei spat out a mouthful of blood but remained standing tall, his gaze deep: "I have never encountered such a powerful palm technique in my life. Let's go again!"

He had been roused by Xiaoran's strength!

Xiaoran exhaled, feeling very comfortable. When he saw Qiao Feng use "Repentant Dragon" three times at Shaolin Temple, making the old monster lose his armor, he felt very exhilarated. Now, using it himself, it was indeed so! "I've seen Qiao Feng use the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms like this before. It's really satisfying!

Let's stop. You can go!"

Du Fuwei's experience was more seasoned than Xiaoran expected. If he had not turned his arm guard, his arm would have been lost in that palm strike! To be able to change his move so skillfully under such powerful palm force was truly astonishing!

Du Fuwei had been prepared to fight to the death, but hearing Xiaoran's words, he almost spat out another mouthful of blood. To fight when he wanted and stop when he wanted, what did he think of Old Du?

A public toilet? Come and go as he pleased!

His roused spirit plummeted, and Du Fuwei looked at Xiaoran, "I, Du Fuwei, have never suffered such a defeat since I mastered martial arts!

Can you leave a name..."

Xiaoran was surprised, "Want to take revenge? My name is Xiaoran. Don't get the wrong person!"

Du Fuwei seemed choked, and after a long while, he said, "Your martial arts are the highest I have ever seen!

At least at the level of the three great masters!

In the future, wherever my Jianghuai army goes, if you come, we will treat you as a distinguished guest!"

With Xiaoran's martial arts, even if he mobilized all the elite forces of the Jianghuai army, it would be difficult to kill him. It was better to turn enemies into friends!

To know when to advance and when to retreat, not to fight to the death, Du Fuwei truly had the qualities of a hero, no wonder he would later surrender to the Tang!

After saying this, Du Fuwei threw away his arm guard, not looking back, and walked away!
