Chapter 53 The Terror of Li Xiangyi
Just then, they heard the sound of wind moving quickly. Without thinking, they rushed to the small balcony to check.
A tall figure, dressed in black, with a large sword on his back, was seen flying towards them, standing on the treetops.
Fang Duobing sighed, "What's wrong with this world? Why are there so many people with such superb lightness skills appearing one after another, without any prior warning? Am I living in a fake martial arts world?"
"Could it be that you didn't receive a notification when someone attended a qinggong (lightweight kung fu) training course?"
"Is that so? How come I didn't know? Has the whole world abandoned me? Did you receive that message? I haven't seen you have any particularly good lightness skills."
"Is it possible that I actually received it too, but just didn't?" Wu You had been wanting to test whether her deception would work.
"Really?" Fang Duobing was actually a little doubtful.
The flute stopped in front of the Lotus Pavilion, and the speaker looked up at the group of people standing on the second-floor balcony, his gaze settling on Li Lianhua.
Before anyone could speak, Fang Duobing rushed out of the Lotus Pavilion and blocked Di Feisheng, who was trying to enter, saying, "Who are you? This is a private residence, you cannot trespass."
Fang Duobing thought that although he was Li Lianhua's friend and staying here temporarily, he naturally had to protect everything here. As for outsiders, especially someone with such high martial arts skills, he had to help Li Lianhua get out of danger.
"It's you again, kid. I'm not here for you, but for him." Di Feisheng looked behind Fang Duobing, where Li Lianhua was coming down from upstairs. Seeing that Li Lianhua was still wearing a mask, Di Feisheng did not reveal his identity.
Fang Duobing turned to look at Li Lianhua, and seeing Li Lianhua nod slightly, he turned back and made way for her: "Since you know each other, then this young master will not stop you any further. But when have we met before? Why don't I recognize you?"
Di Feisheng did not answer, but went straight into the house and sat down.
Fang Duobing was annoyed at being ignored and was about to say something when Li Lianhua interrupted him: "Fang Duobing, aren't you supposed to take Ge Pan to hand him over to the people from Baichuan Academy? Hurry up and go, or they'll be waiting impatiently."
After being reminded by Li Lianhua, Fang Duobing remembered that he had contacted the people from Baichuan Hospital yesterday, who said that the person was nearby and that the handover was taking place at this time today.
Fang Duobing glanced at Di Feisheng, who remained calm and collected, and then decided that the matter of Baichuan Academy was more important. He said, "I won't stoop to your level," and hurriedly ran to the tree where Ge Pan was tied up. He untied Ge Pan and dragged him towards the handover point.
Seeing that the two had something to talk about, Wu You went back to her room. Since she would likely be staying there for a while, she decided to clean it properly. Although it still looked clean and tidy, the things on the bed needed to be replaced.
Although he now lives in Li Lianhua, Wu You still thinks about slipping away when the time is right and not hanging out with his group.
On the first floor of the Lotus Pavilion, Li Lianhua and Di Feisheng sat facing each other. Li Lianhua poured Di Feisheng a glass of water and asked, "Why has Alliance Leader Di come here?"
Di Feisheng looked at Li Lianhua: "I've come to see if you are him."
Li Lianhua shook her head helplessly, reached out and took off the mask from her face, revealing her aloof and cold expression.
Di Feisheng said excitedly, "It really is you, Li Xiangyi. Ten years have passed, how have you been?"
"Ten years have passed, and Alliance Leader Di is still as persistent as ever, even coming all this way. What, are you so happy to see I'm still alive?" Li Lianhua was somewhat puzzled by Di Feisheng's actions.
"When I came out of seclusion, I was thinking about this supreme martial art. Once I mastered it, I would have no opponent. If my injuries hadn't been still healing, I wouldn't have gone to Guanyin to shed tears. Now that my injuries have healed, I've come here today to fight you again."
Di Feisheng revealed the purpose of his trip.
Li Lianhua waved her hand, saying, "No, no, I am Li Lianhua now, not Li Xiangyi. I don't want to be fighting with swords all the time. I haven't fought in over ten years. Besides, I have other things to do."
“The purpose of martial arts training is to have an equally matched opponent. I see that your breathing is steady and I can’t see any fluctuations in your internal energy. You seem like an ordinary person. But your steps are light and your figure is agile. Could it be…” Di Feisheng dared not imagine.
Li Lianhua sat quietly, neither yielding nor denying.
Di Feisheng knew that since Li Xiangyi did not deny it, it must be true.
Think about it, Li Xiangyi was the best in the world ten years ago, and now another ten years have passed, so it's normal for him to have returned to simplicity.
Li Xiangyi is only thirty years old now, and he has a long future ahead of him. Perhaps he will one day become an immortal and fly through the air as in legend.
Thinking of this, Di Feisheng became even more excited, because this was even more challenging. Since someone had achieved it, and that person was right in front of him and was actually there, maybe he could do it too.
"What do you want in exchange for a fight?" Although he couldn't win now, he wanted to test the power of the Return to Simplicity state.
"No, fighting is exhausting, you know."
“If you don’t want to fight me, then I…” Di Feisheng glanced around the Lotus Tower: “I’ll tear this building down, capture that kid and the person upstairs, torture them severely, and see if you’ll fight me to save them.”
"You dare!" Li Lianhua glared angrily, unleashing a torrent of powerful internal energy as she attacked Di Feisheng opposite her.
Di Feisheng tried to use his recently recovered internal energy to resist, only to find that he couldn't even lift his hand. How could he possibly fight back?
The surroundings were eerily quiet. Di Feisheng was sweating profusely, each drop striking his heartstrings.
Suddenly, the stool that Di Feisheng was sitting on exploded, and Di Feisheng fell to the ground with a thud. Li Lianhua also took the opportunity to withdraw her released internal energy.
Seeing Li Lianhua control himself so freely, and in an instant he was just like an ordinary person again, Di Feisheng became even more excited. Is this what a strong person is? Is this Li Xiangyi who has broken through two major realms?
Di Feisheng calmly got up from the ground and sat down on the other side of the table with composure.
He calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Since you care about them so much, I will not make a move. However, I did not expect that we were evenly matched in the East China Sea battle ten years ago. Now I have only just recovered from my injuries, and you have already broken through two major realms. You, Li Xiangyi, are still a cut above the rest.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Seeing that Di Feisheng had promptly dismissed his previous thoughts, Li Lianhua was willing to say a few more words to him.
"What truth?" Di Feisheng was puzzled by this question.
"I ask you, when we made our pact in the East Sea, did you spend many days adjusting your internal energy to bring your martial arts to their peak, so that you could fight me to a standstill and be evenly matched?"
"Of course, you're my opponent, so naturally I have to be at my best to live up to our agreement. Aren't you the same?" Di Feisheng really couldn't understand Li Lianhua anymore; how could she talk like that?

Li Lianhua: Di Feisheng, you'd better give up that crazy idea. Ten years ago, you couldn't beat me even when I was poisoned by Bi Cha. Now, taking your life would be a piece of cake for me.
Flute Flying Sound: How scary, but I love it.
Wu You: Did I enter some strange channel?
