Luke's Sky-Covering Palm technique appears to blot out the sky and is incredibly powerful, belonging to the category of fierce and powerful techniques.
However, the Heaven-Covering Palm is actually a skill that combines both strength and gentleness; it can stop the flow of a river and also conceal a needle in cotton.
Although Luke's palm strike was aimed at the Blood Python, it also triggered the Heaven-Covering Palm Force hidden within Wang Ai's body through the Blood Python, blocking the flow of his Qi and temporarily crippling him.
Wang Ai felt the raging, non-human energy within his body and cursed inwardly that the young people these days were all so cunning. He never expected that Luke, the Undying Vajra known for his brute force and external strength, would be so cunning as to have already left a backup plan for him.
Logically speaking, shouldn't all experts in external martial arts use brute force?
If Luke could hear Wang Ai's thoughts, he would tell him that physical training is physical training, but it doesn't mean that people who practice physical training will necessarily fight head-on with others, nor does it mean that they will withstand attacks from others. He doesn't practice physical training to be beaten, but to beat others.
Lu Jin felt incredibly satisfied looking at the disheveled Wang Ai and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
The old master squinted and asked, "Old Lu, what are you laughing at?"
Lu Jin's smile remained unchanged as he said, "It's nothing, I just remembered something happy."
The old master nodded and even laughed along with him.
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Now it was Lu Jin's turn to ask: "Old Celestial Master, what are you laughing at?"
The old master replied in a serious tone, "What a coincidence, I also remembered something happy."
The Celestial Master also disliked Lü Ci and Wang Ai, and he was happy that Wang Ai was in trouble.
If it weren't for those two, he would have already taken Zhang Chulan under his wing. There would have been no need to create the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, especially one open to the entire world of supernatural beings. It was only to protect this unfortunate Zhang Chulan that he couldn't make a move at the time. Otherwise, he would have slapped them both across the face long ago. Did they really think that just because they became Celestial Masters, they wouldn't hit people because of their status?
Wang Ai's face turned bright red, clearly he was angry, but he couldn't say anything.
The fact that he recently joined forces with several of the Ten Elders to coerce the Celestial Master into changing the rules of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was the greatest courage he had shown when facing the Celestial Master.
Having witnessed the Old Celestial Master's rise from invincible in his youth to become the pinnacle of the supernatural world, he understood the Old Celestial Master's temperament very well. The change in the rules of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was less due to his and several other Ten Elders pressuring the Old Celestial Master to compromise, and more due to the Old Celestial Master's compromise for Zhang Chulan's sake. This was because the Old Celestial Master was confident that no matter what unexpected events occurred, as long as Zhang Chulan was on Longhu Mountain, no matter how big the event was, it wouldn't cause any trouble for him.
However, if he were to question the Celestial Master about what he was laughing about at this moment, he wouldn't receive the same treatment as Lu Jin; he would more likely get a slap from the Celestial Master.
That old scoundrel doesn't care who the other person is when he beats them up.
Back in the Lu family compound, didn't that old scoundrel slap Lu Jin in front of his elders, many seniors in the world of supernatural beings, and even his own master, breaking his reverse life triple level and making him weep uncontrollably?
Even Wugensheng, who once dominated the Quanxing Sect and became its leader, could only end up with a bruised and swollen face when faced with the Old Celestial Master's slap, almost turning into a pig's head.
As for his current cultivation level, he knew it was still somewhat inferior to that of Wugensheng back then; Wugensheng might not even need a few slaps to beat him.
Don't let Wang Ai's arrogance fool you; he's an arrogance with a keen eye. He's actually very pragmatic, otherwise, given the Wang family's style, how could they have stood the test of time in the world of supernatural beings for so long?
The old master and Lu Jin chuckled twice, then, finding it boring, looked up at the battle between Luke and Lü Ci.
Speaking of Lü Ci, his combat power is among the top of the Ten Elders. This is not because his cultivation level is higher than the other Ten Elders, but because he is ruthless enough. How ruthless?
That is, in battle, one often adopts a desperate stance, disregarding one's own life, in order to take the life of the opponent.
But Lu Ci knew that his usual desperate fighting methods were not applicable when facing an opponent like Luke.
They train hard, focusing on toughness. While the tactic of mutual destruction is highly effective, it depends on who you're targeting. Against Luke, who's practically invincible, you might get injured while he barely gets a scratch.
Therefore, Lü Ci chose to fight passively, trying to exhaust Luke's stamina and innate Qi as much as possible.
·· ·Requesting flowers··· ···
He simply refused to believe that his more than a hundred years of life cultivation and the innate Qi within his body were inferior to that of a young man.
Of course, Lu Ci wasn't just good at dodging. His superb Ruyi Jin always managed to strike Luke at unbelievable angles, penetrating his skin and attacking his internal organs. Although Luke always managed to neutralize it, Lu Ci never gave up.
Despite facing Lu Ci's relentless and powerful attacks, Luke remained unfazed. With just a slight sway of his body, he easily deflected the opponent's offensive.
He secretly praised him, thinking that Lü Ci was indeed worthy of his reputation, with excellent combat experience and skills. It was just a pity that he had encountered a master of external martial arts, and no matter how cunning and unpredictable Lü Ci was, it was all in vain.
…
Seeing Luke so composed, Lü Ci felt a surge of anger rising within him.
He roared and sprang up like a raging tiger, pouncing on Luke.
Luke smiled slightly, and instead of retreating, he advanced, throwing a punch to meet the attack. The two fists collided, producing a deafening roar, as if the surrounding air was being torn apart by the force.
Luke felt a tremendous force come over him, and his body swayed slightly, but he quickly regained his balance.
Good heavens, Luke's brute strength was already terrifying enough, but Lu Ci was able to shake his body. This old man is indeed not to be underestimated.
Lu Ci, however, took several steps back, his expression changing slightly.
Impulsiveness set in, and the repeated failures of his attacks ignited a nameless rage in Lü Ci, causing his mind to become restless.
However, since I've acted impulsively, I should let this kid in front of me act impulsively too.
Lu Ci squinted and unleashed a Ruyi Force from his hand, which coiled and meandered in the air like a serpent. Luke Ben didn't pay it any mind, after all, he had already been hit by this kind of force countless times in the previous exchange.
To be honest, Luke found the Ruyi Jin technique, which allows attacks to penetrate the body, quite useful. It also indirectly helped him strengthen his internal organs.
The Chai school of external martial arts training is not just about strengthening muscles and bones, but also internal organs, which is the so-called dual cultivation of internal and external aspects.
However, training one's internal organs is too dangerous; a single misstep can result in serious internal injuries, so very few people can master it.
Chapter 52: One Person's Story: The Old Celestial Master Stops the Fight
"Fuck!"
"You old bastard, how dare you tear down my ancestral hall?"
Luke's furious voice suddenly rang out, and a hint of murderous intent even appeared in his gaze as he looked at Lü Ci.
There are many ways to anger someone, but there is one simplest and most vicious way to anger a man.
Luke initially didn't care about the Ruyi Force that Lü Ci had just unleashed, but who knew that although it was aimed at his chest, it changed direction the moment it got close to his body and went straight for his second brother, causing Luke to break out in a cold sweat on the spot.
If this gets hit, it won't affect its function, but it will definitely hurt a lot. Moreover, the penis is one of the most difficult parts to train. Although Luke has put a lot of effort into training it, if it is hit by a penetrating force like Ruyi Jin, although it won't affect its length, softness, or hardness, there's no guarantee that other functions inside might be affected.
This is so sinister! It's supposed to be a shonen anime for older people, so why is an old man being so sinister?
Unforgivable!
Lu Ci had miscalculated this time. He was getting old and had lost interest in women, but Luke was still young and valued his younger brother immensely. Lu Ci had really angered Luke this time, and Luke charged towards him like a tank.
In an instant, Lü Ci was sent flying by the powerful impact, with no time to dodge.
However, Luke was not about to let him go. He unleashed a terrifying force with his Heaven-Covering Palm, carrying the powerful force to destroy mountains and cities, and struck towards Lü Ci.
The old master's brow twitched, and he thought to himself, "This is bad. Luke is preparing to kill me."
If this happened outside of Longhu Mountain, the Celestial Master would have no objection, but this is Longhu Mountain. What would happen if one of the Ten Elders had an accident on Longhu Mountain?
In the next instant, the old master disappeared from his original spot and appeared between Luke and Lü Ci. At the same time, he activated the Golden Light Spell, and a pure and thick golden light appeared on the old master's body, blocking the sky-covering palm that could destroy mountains and cities.
Luke's palm strike was fierce and full of rage, as if he wanted to shatter all obstacles in the world.
Under that palm strike, even the old Celestial Master's golden light cracked, and the golden light trembled slightly under the violent impact, as if it would shatter at any moment.
The old master's gaze instantly turned serious; he was astonished that Luke could unleash such powerful strength.
If Luke's palm strike were to land completely, Lü Ci would likely be in grave danger.
Therefore, the old celestial master had no choice but to continue to activate the primordial energy, thus increasing the intensity of the golden light.
The golden light became indestructible once again, firmly blocking Luke's Sky-Covering Palm.
"Luke, stop!"
The old Celestial Master's voice echoed through the valley like thunder, carrying an unquestionable majesty.
Luke's body trembled slightly, his killing intent lessened, but the anger in his eyes had not completely dissipated.
He looked at the old master, his eyes filled with a sense of eager anticipation.
The old master chuckled and said with a smile, "What's this? You want to spar with me, kid?"
Luke waved his hand and said, "No way, your slap is too heavy for me. My father told me that even my grandfather couldn't withstand your slap, so my meager cultivation level is no match for it."
Although he enjoys fighting, it's because he wants to push his limits. But Luke can still distinguish between pushing his limits and simply getting beaten up.
"boom!"
Luke could feel a large slap coming towards his head. He could have dodged it, but he stood still and took the slap. Who told him to speak so recklessly?
"You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Is this what your father told you? Just wait and see how I teach him a lesson later."
Lu Jin glared and puffed out his beard, looking as if he were about to sacrifice his own family for the greater good.
He only had a few dark histories in his life, and the one he didn't want to mention was being knocked down by Zhang Zhiwei with one slap. But someone told Lu Yun about it, and Lu Yun told his son.
Luke chuckled, said nothing, and simply waved to Zhang Chulan in the distance.
Zhang Chulan understood immediately and ran over eagerly, diligently helping Luke change his clothes.
"Brother Lai Lu, give me your hand."
This fawning manner not only made Xu San and Xu Si on the other side twitch at the corner of Lu Jin's mouth, but also not far away.
"Hey, this kid really lives up to his nickname, he's shameless now."
The old Celestial Master didn't react much; he even stroked his snow-white beard, chuckled, and said with a gratified tone.
"Hey, is that what you call being flexible? I think Chu Lan is pretty good, much better than Ling Yu."
The old master knew a principle long ago: face and dignity are two different things. One should not be too attached to the former and should let go of it when necessary. Zhang Chulan has indeed received the true teachings of Longhu Mountain in this regard.
Back then, when faced with his master's wrath, Zhang Zhiwei knelt down without hesitation, which is what you call excellent conduct.
Compared to tangible benefits, all pretense of face is meaningless. Compared to this, Zhang Lingyu's upright character is simply not like a disciple I raised. He hasn't learned any of my strengths; it's like a cotton ball popping out of a gutter.
"Thank you, Heavenly Master."
At this moment, Lu Ci, who was behind the old master, spoke up. Although he was ruthless and was known as a mad dog, he was a man who always repaid kindness and avenged wrongs tenfold or a hundredfold.
Moreover, he always respected the Celestial Master wholeheartedly. His only complaint about the Celestial Master was why the other party didn't have the surname Lü. Otherwise, he would have been willing to kneel and greet him every day, serving him tea and water.
"Hehehe, after all, this is Longhu Mountain. We can't just stand by and watch you get into trouble. I'd like to ask you two, no, three of you, why are you fighting like this in my Longhu Mountain? Are you trying to ruin my place?"
The old Celestial Master smiled and glanced back at Wang Ai, who was being helped over by Lü Gong, and asked softly.
Although his face was kind and his tone was gentle, both Lü Ci and Wang Ai felt immense pressure. They knew that if they didn't give the old master an explanation, this matter would likely not be resolved.
However, before they could even speak, Zhang Chulan rushed over, hugged the old master's leg with a wronged expression, and wailed.
