Chapter 251: Chapter 196: Devil Star Seventy-Two Transformations!

"Ah!"

Unmoving and stupefied, the Immeasurable Sect cultivator Jia Zhengfeng, who resembled a walking corpse, finally reacted, but his reaction was a scream from having his breastbone broken, sending his body, in a moment of clarity, uncontrollably crashing towards the outskirts of the arena where his master, Taishu Yiqing, was located.

"My God! My God! This Li Ping’an is too incredible!"

"The World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran defeats his opponents with a single move, but this Mount Longhu cultivator Li Ping’an repels foes with just two fingers, and it seems like he’s still holding back!"

"What kind of strength does this Li Ping’an have, after all?"

"Too terrifying! Who can tell me how this Li Ping’an did it?"

"How is this possible? How could a Mount Longhu cultivator defeat an Immeasurable Sect cultivator? Am I hallucinating?"

All the cultivators burst into exclamations, their faces grave as they regarded Li Ping’an like they faced a great enemy, none daring to underestimate him now!

"I think I see it now!"

Inside Nangong Zhidao’s left shoulder, Kumarajiva exclaimed with excitement.

Full of fervor, the Zhengyi Taoist cultivator Nangong Zhidao asked:

"Master, is Li Ping’an using Erlang Shen, the True Lord Yang Jian’s Eight Nine Profound Art or Sage Sun’s Seventy-Two Transformations?"

"I can’t be too certain now, but if I didn’t see it wrong, although Li Ping’an just casually used two fingers, he seemed to be using the Devil Star Seventy-Two Transformations! But it also looks a bit like the Eight Nine Profound Art!"

Inside the left shoulder, Kumarajiva became instantly excited:

"Look at his effortless demeanor, it means he has many more tricks up his sleeve that he hasn’t used yet, so when you face him later, be sure to force out all his Divine Skills and spells. That way, I can learn all of his techniques and later pass them to you!"

"Disciple will not fail the mission!"

Gong Zhidao’s mind was already filled with the glorious image of possessing both Kumarajiva and Li Ping’an’s earth-shattering abilities. At that time, how powerful and glorious he would be, no longer an antslike existence to be bullied by others!

...

"Looks like I really don’t need to intervene!"

The Ghost Taoist nodded in satisfaction at Li Ping’an, deciding not to interfere in Li Ping’an’s upcoming matches.

The Immeasurable Sect cultivator Jia Zhengfeng, sent flying, crashed towards the people from The Four Great Noble Paths, but his master Taishu Yiqing suddenly sprung into action and caught Jia Zhengfeng like a kite with its string cut.

No sooner had the two landed than the Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, pushed Jia Zhengfeng away, glaring at him furiously:

"What a disgrace! You wretch managed to lose to a Mount Longhu cultivator! Hah, I shouldn’t say lose, it’s more like you didn’t even want to fight! Did you intentionally ease up on that Mount Longhu cultivator Li Ping’an? What’s really going on? Did he pay you off?"

The Immeasurable Sect cultivator Jia Zhengfeng still hadn’t grasped what had happened, only aware that he had been expelled from the arena, he spread his hands in confusion, explaining:

"Master, I..."

Before the Immeasurable Sect cultivator Jia Zhengfeng could explain, Li Ping’an, who had been standing with his arms crossed inside the arena, landed lightly, and shouted at the dazed Immortal Fei He, the master of Moyun Temple:

"Hey, are you deaf or what? Announce the result already, for heaven’s sake!"

"..."

The still stunned master of Moyun Temple, Immortal Fei He, jerked awake after being yelled at by Li Ping’an and stood up shakily, his voice trembling as he announced:

"Mount Longhu cultivator Li Ping’an versus Immeasurable Sect cultivator Jia Zhengfeng, Mount Longhu’s Li Ping’an wins, advancing to the next round!"

As for the outcome, there wasn’t a single dissenting voice on the field, but everyone was curious about how exactly Mount Longhu cultivator Li Ping’an managed to defeat Immeasurable Sect cultivator Jia Zhengfeng with just two fingers!

Li Ping’an, looking relaxed, was also aware that everyone was waiting for an explanation from him. Had it been someone else, they surely would have bragged about it to become famous in one battle, and Li Ping’an’s original character would have done the same.

But he could not brag about his abilities now. Among the cultivators present, some were strong and some were weak, yet he did not take any of them seriously. His fear was of the unknown forces such as Old Buddha Huang Mei from the Buddha Bone Temple or National Teacher Pudu Cihang who wanted to capture him, worrying that after seeing his power, they would come to kill him, so he had to keep lying low!

"Do you all really want to know how I defeated Immeasurable Sect cultivator Jia Zhengfeng?"

Li Ping’an deliberately whetted the appetite of the cultivators, and naturally, they couldn’t contain their curiosity, clamoring like cats scratching at a mystery, and shouted:

"You from Mount Longhu, how did you manage to defeat Jia Zhengfeng so easily?"

"Yes, exactly, with just a simple flick you secured the victory; it’s akin to King Tianran’s Instant Defeat in its own unique way!"

"Just confess, we don’t believe you’re that strong!"

"Don’t think you can deceive us; we know what Mount Longhu is all about, so don’t even try to trick us!"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, thinking Li Ping’an would take this opportunity to humiliate Jia Zhengfeng and by extension mock their Immeasurable Sect, preemptively scolded Jia Zhengfeng before Li Ping’an could answer:

"Zhengfeng, what exactly happened just now? Speak the truth immediately!"

After recovering for a long moment, the Immeasurable Sect cultivator Jia Zhengfeng replied truthfully:

"I was about to strike and defeat Li Ping’an, but for some reason, just as I was about to hit him, I suddenly became confused and saw hallucinations, then it all turned out like this..."

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, implying for the sake of face, continued loudly:

"Confused? Was it because you had been cultivating non-stop since last night until just now?"
