Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 262 A Worthy Opponent, A Match Made in Heaven
"happy!"

As the smoke and dust dissipated and the firelight died down, Li Chimei stood tall atop a peach tree, holding a silver needle in one hand, a deep smile on her face.

"Brother Li, your sword is indeed the best!"

Ding An held the eagle-blade across his chest, narrowed his eyes, and said, "So you've switched to using embroidery needles now?"

Li Chimei stood proudly with her hands behind her back, her figure swaying up and down with the breeze, and said with a smile, "I just picked it up casually and thought it was handy, so I used it."

Lie Zhenbei shook his head and smiled bitterly from a distance: "Brother Li, I was actually robbed of my unique weapon by him. It's really shameful."

"It's alright!" Ding An waved his hand and said seriously, "Mr. Zhenbei, I'll help you get it back!"

Li Chimei laughed loudly, "Li Daohuang, you can't catch me!"

Ding An's eyes widened in fury: "I don't need to catch you, I'll just kill you!" His joints cracked, and with a swish, another slash came out.

This strike did not produce any bursts of flame; instead, it hissed continuously, and countless plumes of extremely hot white vapor emerged.

Ding An's eyes shone brightly, and his body rose rapidly, as if to merge into the endless void.

"The darkness and gloom are beyond comprehension; who can fathom them?"

A long, leisurely chant came, and Li Chimei's heartstrings trembled. She felt her body rising endlessly upwards.

Suddenly, his body seemed to grow infinitely larger.

Li Chimei quickly withdrew her gaze, her inner light swirling, piercing through the billowing white mist, only to discover that he had merely drawn his sword in place, without actually moving.

Just then, Li Chimei felt a chill in her heart, only to see a brilliant, lightning-like light suddenly shine through the white mist, piercing through the thick fog and instantly illuminating the world!
"Damn, how come this cripple is making such great progress!"

Li Chimei cursed inwardly, but although the two were more than ten feet apart, Ding An's knife arrived in the blink of an eye, as if struck by lightning. Even with his Vajra body of "Heavenly Demon Yin Condensation", he could not avoid being injured.

"Humph!"

Li Chimei twisted her body and leaped into the air, her limbs folded over, her head, chest, and abdomen buried in her limbs, turning her into a round ball of flesh. She then drew an arc backward and slammed into the trunk of the peach tree!

"Snap!", "Whoosh!"

Two sounds rang out in quick succession, and the peach tree, which took three people to encircle, was smashed in half by the "meatball" and flew towards Ding'an, only to be cleaved in two by the brilliant blade of light in mid-air.

Wood chips drifted and swirled in the wind, appearing as if a dense blanket of yellow snow had fallen from the scorching night sky.

Suddenly, amidst the flashes of lightning and the glow of fire, the fleshy ball abruptly appeared in front of Ding An.

This round of changes was swift and unexpected. Li Chimei's laughter rang out: "Brother Li, even if you wield the Eagle Blade, I am not afraid of you!"

With a loud bang, the ball rolled with a gust of wind and struck his chest.

The impact was so powerful that Ding'an was sent flying backward, covering several meters before crashing into a wooden pillar outside the main hall.

Boom!

The bricks and tiles in the hall shook, and dust fell in a flurry. The two exchanged blows with incredible speed, and most of the people on the field did not see it clearly. Suddenly, Ding An was seen crashing into a pillar, and a gasp of surprise rang out from the crowd.

Just then, a soft laugh rang out again, and Li Chimei appeared before Lie Zhenbei like a wisp of smoke.

The silver needle struck again, aiming straight for the center of the forehead!
"Drink!"

A loud shout rang out, and Feng Xinglie thrust his spear forward to block Li Chimei's deadly needle.

Unexpectedly, a strange smile appeared on Li Chimei's lips. Her body flashed, moving swiftly, and she turned to stab Gu Zixian!
With a strenuous swing of his twin pistols, Lie Zhenbei and Feng Xinglie were seen desperately trying to block Li Chimei's silver needles at this crucial moment.

Li Chimei let out a "hey," seemingly surprised that the two of them were able to block her.

But they had already shown their weakness.

A yellow figure flashed like lightning and dew, and with a single touch of the silver needle, it was withdrawn. The needle struck the spear twice, causing the two men to cough up blood and fly backward.

Two people were injured in the blink of an eye.

Li Chimei then lunged at Li Ruohai, laughing as she said, "Brother Li, be careful!"

A hint of anger flashed in Li Ruohai's eyes. If he were at his peak, Li Chimei would never have dared to be so rude to him!

But now his martial arts are completely gone, and he is powerless to resist Li Chimei, whose martial arts have greatly improved.

Just then, Gu Ningqing, who was standing to the side, shouted and struck with her palm. With a flick of her wrist, her energy surged through the air, displaying extraordinary grace.

Li Chimei chuckled, her speed undiminished. Only when her hand was upon him did she flick her sleeve, sending the silver needle flashing past. Gu Ningqing let out a muffled groan, clutching her chest with her left hand as she staggered backward.

"Ningqing!" Li Ruohai shouted.

Li Chimei chuckled and said, "Brother Li, since you care about her so much, I'll send you both to the Western Paradise!"

As they spoke, Li Chimei's figure flickered again, like a wisp of smoke, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing. Faced with Li Chimei's attack, everyone present felt a strange sense that they were the only ones facing this person directly, and they retreated in shock.

Among these people, Hongxiu and Ren Shaoyang remained unmoved, calmly watching Li Chimei display her power. Hongxiu said, "Crippled man, did you hear that? There's a formidable figure on the roof."

Ren Shaoyang nodded and said in a deep voice, "It should be the Red Sun Dharma King. It is said that this person has mastered the Great Seal of Tantra and possesses the Immortal Seal. If he misses, the attack will travel thousands of miles away. Even Lang Fanyun and Pang Ban would have to put in a lot of effort to kill him."

"Oh, isn't this an assassin?" Hongxiu said lazily. "I wonder which is more powerful, the assassin or my 'Blood in the Wind'?"

Ren Shaoyang said, "What's disgusting about this old bald monk is his ability to deflect force and his shameless sneak attacks. Be careful."

“It’s an opponent, not a big problem,” Hongxiu nodded. “But protecting everyone from harm is still a bit tricky. By the way, there’s a hidden aura in the backyard, probably that ‘flower demon’.”

“And there’s Shi Zhongtian,” Ren Shaoyang said calmly. “They’re waiting for us to show a weakness.”

"That's a brilliant idea. We'll take advantage of your injury to defeat us in one fell swoop." Hongxiu laughed.

Ren Shaoyang smiled slightly and said, "They've always had a very good plan."

Before the words were finished, a loud shout rang out: "You transvestite, don't even think about running away!"

Suddenly, thousands of blades flashed in the hall, slashing and sweeping horizontally with the speed of wind and fire, and then thrusting upwards with immense force!

Li Chimei felt his body being scorched by the flames, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder. He knew that this slash had sealed off his surroundings and he had no way to dodge it.

In that dazzling moment, a detached solemnity appeared on Li Chimei's bright red face. With a "hey," her right arm moved like a boneless venomous snake, circling back and sweeping towards the tip of the knife at an incredible angle!
"Ah!"

Ding An chuckled softly, and the gleam of the eagle blade in his hand suddenly vanished, the flames instantly dissipating, leaving only a gleaming, thick-backed blade in his hand.

In an instant, all things fell silent.

The flames vanished without a trace, and suddenly everyone's vision was filled with white. This white was not a cold, eerie white, but rather the colorless, pale white of the scorching sun in the dog days of summer, baking everything in its heat.

A gentle breeze blows, and soft sounds drift by, like birds returning to their nests.

Ding An flipped his wrist, creating a white light that sliced ​​through the silver needles on Li Chimei's fingers.

"Ding!"

"Something's not right!" Li Chimei's expression changed drastically, a crimson-purple aura surged to her face, and she screamed inwardly, "This, this strike is wrong!"

It turns out that Ding'an's strike was the "Fire and Water Not Yet Crossed" technique, which sealed all the flames within the blade. Once unleashed, it would erupt with countless flames, burning everything in sight to ashes!
"Bang~!"

A flash of red light.

The flames erupted suddenly, like thunder and lightning, with a deafening roar. Even Li Chimei's indestructible Vajra body could not withstand it. With a scream, she was carried into the sky by the flames!

With a crash, Li Chimei howled in pain as he smashed through the roof tiles and disappeared like a fiery meteor.

Ding'an landed, crouched down, and with a flash of fire beneath his feet, he flew straight toward the large hole in the roof with a "thud"!

A deafening roar echoed through the heavens, and flames around him swirled like a flying dragon coiling around a pillar of fire, their power soaring to the sky as they chased after Li Chimei.

Everyone was stunned; the changes had happened so quickly.

First, Lie Zhenbei displayed his might, killing all the members of the Yellow River Gang with just one gun, and then he was ambushed by Li Chimei.

This transvestite possessed astonishing martial arts skills, and successively injured masters such as Lie Zhenbei, Feng Xinglie, and Gu Ningqing.

But the battle situation changed in an instant. Li Daohuang, who had been driven back earlier, suddenly made a move and swiftly cut Li Chimei away like lightning.

Then the two flew away and disappeared.
The scene immediately fell silent, with everyone staring at each other, unsure of what to do.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock."

The blood from Gu Ningqing's chest fell to the ground, and the sudden sound startled everyone.

"Mother!"

"Ningqing!"

Gu Zixian and Li Ruohai supported her on either side, their faces full of concern.

Gu Ningqing remained calm, even somewhat enjoying herself, and kept saying that she was fine.

Feng Xinglie and Lie Zhenbei were helped back to their seats by Gu Qianlian, who then distributed healing medicine to everyone.

At this moment, everyone understood that the seemingly impregnable defenses of the Dual Cultivation Palace were no different from paper when facing a true Grandmaster!
If Ding An hadn't intervened, everyone present would probably have been killed by Li Chimei!
and many more!

Ding'an has already made a move, so why are Ren Jiansheng and Hongxiu still holding back?
Suddenly, Hongxiu burst into laughter: "We've been waiting for you!"

Its body quietly lost its form, turning into wisps of blood mist that drifted upwards through the large hole in the roof!

"There are more experts?!" Upon hearing Hongxiu's words, Li Ruohai was startled and looked up.

A tall, imposing lama with white eyebrows and beard, dressed in red, stood on the rooftop. Under the moonlight, his face looked unusually grim.
