Chapter 296: Chapter 218 Spells, Divine Skills Fail!_2

"Li Ping’an! I’m not afraid for you to know! I’ve long been privy to everything about you, your secrets, your details—I have mastered them all! Don’t you understand by now?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Fortunately, Li Ping’an still had the protection of the Ninth Grade Lotus Platform, otherwise he would have been killed by Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao long ago.

As he desperately resisted, Li Ping’an gritted his teeth and responded:

"How could you possibly know my secrets, my details? It’s absolutely impossible!"

"Li Ping’an! You’re too arrogant!"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao glanced proudly at his left shoulder and said:

"How old are you even? Know that there are heavens beyond heaven, and people beyond people! There are many in this world who are more formidable than you!"

"..."

Naturally, Li Ping’an agreed with what Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao had said, just like the previously encountered Yan Chixia, National Teacher Pudu Cihang, Li Wubai, The Six Demons of Five Finger Mountain, Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk, all of whom were inscrutable figures.

But why should Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao also be so?

A myriad of objections rose in Li Ping’an’s heart!

"It’s all because I underestimated you before!"

After calming down, Li Ping’an took a deep breath and said:

"Since you so boldly claim to know my details, it’s time for me to see yours! Divine Skills: Secluded Cave!"

Suddenly, Li Ping’an’s eyes emitted a golden violet light, and he stared at Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, who was floating mid-air:

Xie Wenren, Taoist cultivator: Guxuan Realm, Strength: 800, Mana: 700, Defense: 1000

Critical hit rate: 0%, critical hit combo: 0%, damage bonus: 0%, damage reduction: 20%

Four disasters resistance:

Cold Immunity: 0%, Fire Immunity: 15%, Poison Immunity: 0%, Lightning Immunity: 0%

"What?!"

Li Ping’an’s eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed at Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao:

"Damn it! It’s really you! It’s indeed you! Damn it, it’s really you!"

"Hahahaha!"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao tilted his head and said with pride:

"So you know who I am now?"

"How could this be possible? How could this be?"

Li Ping’an could hardly believe his own eyes that this Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao was actually disguising himself as that waste from the Flame Cloud Sect, Xie Wenren!

"Why not possible?"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao was not afraid of Li Ping’an discovering his true identity, and still arrogantly said:

"Li Ping’an, it is all thanks to you that I have today’s fortune. I should indeed thank you! Hahahaha!"

"Today’s fortune?"

Li Ping’an immediately realized that this imposter disguised as Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, Xie Wenren, must have received guidance from a great master, so he immediately asked:

"Tell me! Who is the person behind this fortune for you?"

"My master!"

The imposter disguised as Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, Xie Wenren, looked at his left shoulder subconsciously, very proudly stating:

"My master has given me everything! He’s made me who I am today. But honestly, it’s still thanks to you, Li Ping’an! If not for you, I wouldn’t have become this strong, hahahaha!"

As Li Ping’an listened to the mad talk of the imposter, Xie Wenren, disguised as Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, and saw his smugness, Li Ping’an suddenly noticed a detail.

That was, the imposter Xie Wenren kept subconsciously looking at his own left shoulder.

At the same time, Li Ping’an also remembered something: when he previously ambushed the imposter Xie Wenren, he had said that his backer was right behind him, yet the imposter Xie Wenren turned to look at his left shoulder instead.

And that incredibly powerful, size-changing, enduring, healing turtle had also crawled out from his left shoulder!

Taking into account all the unintentional details revealed by the imposter Xie Wenren previously, Li Ping’an suddenly had a bold thought—that the left shoulder of the imposter Xie Wenren disguising himself as Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao must be hiding some astonishing secret!

If it wasn’t an astonishing secret, it had to be at least the weakness of Xie Wenren, who had disguised himself as the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao!

As long as his weakness was found, killing him would be no difficult task!

"Since you know my weakness, then I shall see yours, as well as your secrets!"

Li Ping’an’s eyes, glowing with a golden purple light, immediately shifted to the left shoulder of Xie Wenren, who had disguised himself as the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, and he witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! What kind of evil magic is this!"

In Li Ping’an’s view, there was a powerful Cursed Seal Barrier on the left shoulder of Xie Wenren, who had disguised himself as the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao. The Cursed Seal Barrier seemed to be the source of Xie Wenren’s strength. What was most bizarre and terrifying was that inside this Cursed Seal Barrier, there was actually a person hidden! A living person!

Kumarajiva, Taoist Cultivator, Literati Cultivation, Buddhist Cultivator, demon cultivation, Demon Cultivator—all were exceptionally skilled, with unfathomable attributes!

"So that’s how it is! That’s how it is!"

All of a sudden, Li Ping’an understood everything, and he excitedly shouted at Xie Wenren, who was disguised as the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao:

"Xie Wenren! So it turned out I have been fighting with two people all along! No wonder I couldn’t kill you! It’s all clear now!"

"Xie Wenren?"

Including Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, other Cultivators all voiced their amazement:

"What is this Li Ping’an talking about? Where is Xie Wenren here?"

"Indeed, indeed, isn’t this the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao?"

"Even if it is as the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple’s Cultivator said, that this man is an impostor of Nangong Zhidao, he is still just one person, right!"

"Why has this Li Ping’an suddenly started spouting such nonsense?"

"Look at him, he’s close to death’s door, and he’s still spouting nonsense. Has he been scared silly by Nangong Zhidao?"

"But, to be fair, today’s battle has truly been a feast for the eyes!"

"Li Ping’an is very powerful, but Nangong Zhidao is not weak either!"

"Hehe, no matter the outcome, I think this evil Nangong Zhidao will be captured by the Night Traveler’s Bureau for an interrogation after this contest is over!"

"Who else but him should they catch, and just who did he learn these evil techniques from?"

...

"Li Ping’an!"

Xie Wenren, who had disguised himself as the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, heard this and suddenly raised his thumb at Li Ping’an:

"Impressive! Truly impressive! I hadn’t expected that you would finally discover our secret! Hahaha!"

"It was my oversight..."

Li Ping’an shook his head regretfully, and said:

"I have been careful all along, thinking I could deceive everyone. But I almost fell to a scoundrel like you today! If only I had known your secret earlier, I wouldn’t have been pushed to this point!"

"Because you were too strong!"

Xie Wenren, who had disguised as the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, said through gritted teeth:

"So strong that you could kill Pei Yuanjing, which made you arrogant! You became complacent! You looked down on everyone, including me! That’s why you ended up in this predicament—all of this is your own doing! Including me! You are the architect of your own downfall!"

"I truly regret it!"

Li Ping’an closed his eyes and sighed:

"In this dog-eat-dog world, when you cut grass, you must remove the roots. I was too careless!"

"Your regret comes too late!"

Xie Wenren, who had disguised as the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, said with satisfaction:

"The me now is no longer someone you can kill!"

"Alright, alright, blame me! Blame me for not defeating you back then, causing you to end up like this!"

Li Ping’an opened his eyes, spoke the heartfelt truth, and finally said with shame:

"Here, in front of so many people, I apologize to you. Can you forgive me?"

"Forgive you? Hahaha! You have the nerve to ask for my forgiveness? I really don’t know what you’re thinking, for you to ask me for forgiveness at this point. Li Ping’an, do you realize how ridiculous and laughable that is? Ah!"
