Chapter 286: Chapter 213 Forced to Reveal Part of My Strength!_2

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing also nodded in confirmation and said:

"Indeed, it resembles the artifact refining technique of your Flame Cloud Sect. Could this supposed Orthodox Zhengyi Temple cultivator Nangong Zhidao be someone dispatched by your Flame Cloud Sect?"

After speaking, the Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, leaned forward and looked toward Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, questioning:

"Senior Brother Zhuge, you wouldn’t have intentionally planted one of your disciples in the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple to seize two offering positions at the Imperial Court, would you?"

"How could that be possible?"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect hurriedly explained:

"You must be mistaken! Keep watching, once they are done, you can question Nangong Zhidao face to face and see if he is a disciple I have planted!"

"Hmph! Who knows about that."

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, spoke and then paid no more attention to Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect.

Others, like the Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, who was exceptionally knowledgeable about the details of the world’s sects, and the Ghost Taoist, also started suspecting that this unusual Orthodox Zhengyi Temple cultivator Nangong Zhidao was brought in by Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, because the defensive methods of Nangong Zhidao were particularly similar to the Flame Cloud Sect’s artifact refining technique.

...

"You actually dodged my strike?"

Li Ping’an looked in disbelief at the unfazed Orthodox Zhengyi Temple cultivator Nangong Zhidao in front of him:

"I clearly felt that you did not use any spells to defend, which means you blocked my move with your physical body alone. Among the people I have encountered, only the artifact refining technique of the Flame Cloud Sect has such an effect. Could it be that you are from the Flame Cloud Sect?"

"Hahahaha!"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple cultivator Nangong Zhidao burst into laughter and said:

"Li Ping’an, I knew you would think of killing me, to eliminate the security risk I pose. Unfortunately for you, your spells are ineffective against me!"

Li Ping’an sternly demanded:

"Answer my question, scoundrel!"

Using his sword, Orthodox Zhengyi Temple cultivator Nangong Zhidao knocked aside the Hundred Plays Steel Rod resting against his chest and provocatively taunted:

"Li Ping’an, if you dare, kill me, because only by killing me will you find the answer!"

"Then I will grant your wish!"

Li Ping’an also felt that this unusual Orthodox Zhengyi Temple cultivator Nangong could not be from the Flame Cloud Sect, as the spells he used before were too wicked. So, in order to clarify this issue, Li Ping’an went all out once again.

Now not only did he transform into a beam of yellow light, but his speed also increased, forming a yellow staff net around the body of Orthodox Zhengyi Temple cultivator Nangong Zhidao.

This time, Nangong Zhidao did not resist. He just stood quietly, allowing Li Ping’an to rapidly strike all over his body.

But no matter how hard Li Ping’an struck, he could not inflict any harm on Orthodox Zhengyi Temple cultivator Nangong Zhidao.

"Strange! Strange! This is clearly the artifact refining technique of the Flame Cloud Sect!"

While attacking fiercely at high speed, Li Ping’an suddenly remembered someone he had publicly defeated earlier—Flame Cloud Sect cultivator Xie Wenren.

"Is it Xie Wenren? It can’t be, right? How weak is Xie Wenren? Even if he used artifact refining technique to defend against my attacks, I would have broken through it long ago! Strange! Strange!"

With this doubt in mind, as he attacked Orthodox Zhengyi Temple cultivator Nangong Zhidao, Li Ping’an deliberately observed his hands. There was no Yinyang Ring or any other decoration on his hands. So, what exactly was he using to defend?

"Nangong Zhidao! Who in the hell are you?"

Li Ping’an, seeing that he could not kill Orthodox Zhengyi Temple cultivator Nangong Zhidao, also gave up this method of attack. After delivering one last blow with his staff, he landed ten meters in front of Nangong Zhidao.

"Still the same words!"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple cultivator Nangong Zhidao taunted:

"Kill me, and you’ll know everything!"

"Alright!"

Li Ping’an immediately controlled the Hundred Plays Steel Rod to fly in front of him, then quickly began forming seals:

"Tiangang Five Peaks Seal of the One Peak!"

Li Ping’an, in order to swiftly resolve the malicious and despicable Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, also went all out, not hesitating to reveal some of his own strength.

"What? Is that a mountain?"

"Could Li Ping’an be an immortal?"

"Does he possess the technique of moving mountains and seas?"

"What exactly is this spell of his?"

"The technique of moving mountains and seas, unheard of and unseen! Today truly broadens one’s horizons!"

The cultivators present saw a giant mountain suddenly appear above the head of Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, scaring them into running in all directions.

"This is..."

Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen, Heavenly Mist Sect Leader Mo Liqi, and Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, all exclaimed in surprise:

"Could this possibly be the legendary authentic immortal technique of the Taoist sect?"

Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, narrowed his eyes to look closely, his heart growing colder:

"Just how strong is Li Ping’an?"

He had now understood, the real difference between himself and Li Ping’an, and realizing that he had been deceived by Li Ping’an’s disguise, he sighed softly:

"This Li Ping’an is young yet knows how to pose as a pig to eat a tiger, his mind is no simple matter!"

Wang Tianran watched in silence, and Night Traveler Muqiang Baoshan was not too surprised, after all, Li Ping’an was the man who had rescued him and Zixia from the powerful Six Demons of Five Finger Mountain; could his mana not be formidable? Could his spells not be fierce?

Zixia looked at this scene and exclaimed:

"Young Master Li, just how many more surprises do you have on you, I truly now look up to you as one would to a lofty mountain!"

The Ghost Taoist, however, shook his head looking at Li Ping’an and said:

"Authentic immortal technique of the Taoist sect, Li Ping’an, could it be that you have entered the Immortal’s Cave of Mount Longhu?"

...

"It’s this move again!"

Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, looking at the oppressive mountain of magical power coming down from the top of his head, merely smiled lightly:

"Master, this move of his almost killed Pei Yuanjing."

In Kumarajiva’s surprise from another shoulder:

"He is using the long-lost authentic immortal technique of the Taoist sect, not some cat or dog spell from the Four Great Noble Paths or other sects. Open your eyes, puppet, who would have thought there would still be someone in the world who knew the authentic immortal technique of the Taoist sect from five hundred years ago — this Li Ping’an is truly becoming more and more fascinating!"

Meanwhile, as Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao spoke, the oppressive mountain of magical power descended even closer. Just when Nangong Zhidao raised one hand casually and smiled:

"If Pei Yuanjing can do it, naturally so can I!"

Just then, imitating Pei Yuanjing, Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao gathered all his mana in his palm, raised a single hand, and directly caught the mountain of magical power.

With a puff, the moment Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao’s hand touched the mountain of magical power, he felt an overwhelming pressure like Mount Tai on his head, not only spewing a mouthful of old blood, but it felt like his soul was being suppressed from his head to his feet, his spirit nearly crushed.

"So Li Ping’an is this powerful..."

Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao only then realized the gap between himself and the Second Most Talented Under Heaven, Pei Yuanjing. Even though his talent had been enhanced by the Cursed Seal of the Earth through the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, it was still no match for the natural talent of the second most talented under heaven, Pei Yuanjing.

To save his life, Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao immediately threw away his sword and raised his other hand to resist the oppressive power of the mountain of magical power. But when his other hand also went to resist, he discovered that the mountain of magical power controlled by Li Ping’an was getting heavier and heavier, nearly crushing him to death.

Click! Click! Click!

The joints in both arms of Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao made a strange noise, and he knew if he kept withstanding, his arms would inevitably be broken by the mountain of magical power, then he would be crushed to death.

"Coded Seal of the Earth!"

Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, while spectating from the Fallen Dragon Pit, had only stealthily watched from afar, not experiencing it firsthand, completely unaware of what Pei Yuanjing had gone through. Now, having experienced it himself, he finally understood the strength of Li Ping’an!

"Hold it up for me!"

It was only through the newly developed Cursed Seal of the Earth that Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao barely managed to withstand Li Ping’an’s mountain of magical power.
