The Bad Guys: Playing the Fake Li Xingyun at the Beginning

These herbs are hidden deep in the mountains and are rarely found. They are at least a hundred years old, and at most thousands of years old. They contain enormous medicinal power and are of great benefit to people who practice martial arts.

However, no matter how good these herbs are, they cannot compare to the sixty years of internal energy that Su Ming has obtained. How many herbs would Li Maozhen have to take to catch up?

Su Ming's palm power was layered, like a violent storm and huge waves, each layer stronger than the last, causing Li Maozhen's arms to go numb, and his tendons and veins were also invaded by the Tiangang Jue internal force, causing him extreme pain.

How come this kid's internal strength is so strong?

Knowing that something was wrong, Li Maozhen's eyes flashed, and he used up all the internal energy in his body to make a last effort. The powerful internal force gushed out from his limbs and bones, instantly knocking Su Ming back several meters.

But this move also seriously injured Li Maozhen himself. Su Ming even had his arms trembling slightly, and it was obvious that his tendons and veins were injured.

Su Ming reached out and flicked the dust off his clothes, then said with a smile, "Li Maozhen, what are my abilities? Am I qualified to speak so arrogantly in front of you?"

Li Maozhen's face was very gloomy. He looked at Su Ming coldly with a serious look in his eyes. "You are indeed beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that you are so powerful at such a young age. But, it is not enough to defeat me."

"Having profound skills doesn't mean you have strong combat power. I revealed a lot of flaws just now, but it's a pity that you didn't catch them once, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here now."

"Oh? It seems that you still have a trump card?"

Li Maozhen smiled slightly, "In this world, victory or defeat is determined not only by skill, but also by tactics. Look at your palm, is it blue?"

Su Ming stretched out his hand, his expression changed, and he no longer had the confidence he had before.

Li Maozhen was very proud when he saw his expression. "Have you heard of Rao Jiang's Gu technique? When you started just now, I was already secretly controlling the Gu technique. Now, the poison has already invaded your tendons and veins. If you don't use your Qi to cure the poison, you're probably going to be in trouble."

"Or, if you promise not to interfere in Qi's internal affairs, I will give you the antidote with both hands."

"I thought Li Maozhen was an upright person. I didn't expect that after staying in Raojiang for more than ten years, he would become so vicious. It really surprised me." Su Ming put down his hand with coldness in his eyes.

Li Maozhen smiled. "Isn't Gu magic a means or a strength? If you were not the emperor, it would not be as simple as poisoning."

However, when Su Ming stretched out his fist and opened it, he saw a small golden bug lying in the center of his palm, shining with golden light under the sunlight.

Seeing the bug, the smile on Li Maozhen's face froze, and he became gloomy again, staring at Su Ming with a pair of eyes, "You are not poisoned!"

Su Ming exerted a little force from his palm, and the poisonous insect was instantly crushed into powder, deader than dead. He clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Your poison technique has no effect on me. In the face of absolute strength, poison technique is nothing more than a side door and is not worth mentioning. This little insect can't even break my body's protective true qi, how could it possibly poison me?"

"Li Maozhen, do you have any other tricks? Use them all, let me see what you have learned in Twelve Caves."

These words were naked contempt. Li Maozhen's forehead instantly became bulging with veins and his eyes became even bloodier. How could he put his face down when being looked down upon by a young boy like that?

"Okay, since you want to see it, I'll show you the secret technique of the Twelve Caves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Maozhen turned into a residual image and attacked as soon as he made a move. His powerful true energy tore through the air and he rushed forward wildly, domineering and powerful.

Su Ming's eyes narrowed. Is he ignoring his own injuries?

If he was not mistaken, Li Maozhen was reversing his meridians, causing his own true energy to run wild and gaining powerful combat power.

He did not dare to be careless and secretly increased his strength to 50%. At the same time, he stomped his feet hard, and the ground centered on Su Ming instantly cracked. The cracks continued to spread in the imperial garden, and the pavilion collapsed instantly.

The stones buried in the soil were shaken out by Su Ming's strong force. He used the force to turn around, and these stones shot towards Li Maozhen's afterimage like bullets.

Suddenly, the afterimages shattered like bubbles, but no trace of Li Maozhen could be found. Su Ming became more and more alert. He subconsciously turned around and blasted out with his palm, which happened to hit Li Maozhen's powerful killing move.

"boom!"

The internal force contained in this palm was several times that of the previous one, with a force of a thousand kilograms. Su Ming was caught off guard and was knocked back several steps, leaving a series of footprints about an inch deep on the ground.

"Well done!"

Su Ming was not surprised by the temporary defeat, but even more delighted. He had been holding back in this battle, otherwise, once he had used all his strength, what would Li Maozhen do?

Precisely because it is difficult to find an opponent, Su Ming has to rely on Li Maozhen to hone his fighting ability.

Although he possessed several unique skills, he had little combat experience after all. When facing Yuan Tiangang, he might be defeated without even using his unique skills.

Now, is there a better target than Li Maozhen?

Chapter 176: Obsessed?

In Su Ming's eyes, ordinary opponents were not strong enough and he would probably kill them without even using 100% of his strength. Ordinary great celestial beings were not his opponents at all and were not even worth mentioning.

The empress is a good opponent, but unfortunately she is his woman, so he can't use too much force on her. If she cries after beating her, he will have to spend time to comfort her.

Li Siyuan was barely able to survive, but Su Ming was still afraid of killing him, which would make the situation unmanageable, so he couldn't die now.

He couldn't beat Yuan Tiangang, and he couldn't challenge him to a fight. He couldn't reveal his martial arts skills in front of him.

After much thought, only Li Maozhen is qualified. He is the number one person under Yuan Tiangang and possesses the Meteoric Gu. He is an indestructible cockroach who can recover no matter how serious the injury is.

He was simply a sandbag given to him by Yuan Tiangang specifically to temper himself. It was perfect for him to use him.

Li Maozhen used the secret method of the Twelve Caves, his internal strength surged, and his fighting style became even more ferocious, with big and powerful movements, each one of them was extremely lethal, like martial arts on the battlefield.

Su Ming's side was even easier. He secretly used the power techniques of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, stepped on the Bagua, and moved his body in a constant changing manner.

He faced off against Li Maozhen with every palm strike. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is an extremely powerful martial art, and when combined with the extremely powerful and masculine Tiangang Jue, they simply complement each other.

Although he did not use any special palm techniques, Su Ming's technique of exerting force alone allowed him to be at ease when fighting against Li Maozhen. He would often strike out with a palm, with the force condensed and each level stronger than the last, like an overwhelming force.

During this process, Su Ming, who was originally enlightened, had a deeper understanding of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. He was no longer bound by martial arts moves. Every move of his fists, palms, fingers and claws contained fierce power, yet left room for maneuver. This is the essence of "The Dragon's Regrets".

"A dragon that is too high will regret, and fullness cannot last long." Therefore, after releasing your strength, you must also contain it. If you have ten points of force when you punch out, you still have twenty points of force left in your body.

It is the same principle as attacking the enemy with three points and keeping seven points for yourself. The changes of hardness and softness, and the blending of reality and illusion, all contain the ultimate principles of martial arts. The internal strength cultivated by a person should be able to be released and received freely, combining hardness and softness, and not be simply masculine or feminine.

Tiangang Jue is undoubtedly the most powerful internal energy technique, it is too masculine and overbearing. Even with Yuan Tiangang's profound internal energy cultivation, he has to use the female yin energy to harmonize his own internal strength.

Of course, this is also closely related to the fact that Yuan Tiangang took the elixir of immortality, which caused an imbalance of yin and yang in the body. Yuan Tiangang took the elixir of immortality and his skin ulcerated. According to Taoist terms, the body is damaged and cannot lock in essence.

For three hundred years, Yuan Tiangang still hadn't found a way to repair his skin ulcers. He was a sorcerer, proficient in Taoist alchemy, and had three hundred years of internal strength.

But even so, he couldn't find a way to show his true face.

Think about it, after Yuan Tiangang died in the Longquan treasure, the corpse ancestor General Chen took out his heart and returned it to Li Xingyun. At that time, how long had Yuan Tiangang been dead?

For ordinary people, their bodies would have rotted, right?

However, Yuan Tiangang's heart not only did not rot, but also remained alive and well. It contained a powerful Tiangang Jue internal force, which allowed Li Xingyun to use it to practice the Jiuyou Xuantian magic art, and finally burst Li Siyuan.

From this we can see that Yuan Tiangang's skill has reached perfection. Yang extreme gives birth to Yin, and only the internal force of the fusion of Yin and Yang can maintain vigorous vitality and be used for transplantation.

Unfortunately, the yin generated from yang could not solve the imbalance of yin and yang in Yuan Tiangang's body, leaving some drawbacks.

However, Su Ming did not have this problem at all. His problem now was that his skills were not enough and he was far from reaching the positive pole, let alone the positive pole giving birth to the negative pole and the fusion of the positive pole and the negative pole.

Therefore, his current skills are still far from enough.

Back to the point, after Li Maozhen used the Twelve Caves Secret Technique, his power became even more violent and ferocious. As the fight went on, Su Ming discovered that his red eye was becoming redder and redder, as if it was about to bleed.

There were faint traces of blood on his facial features, and a wisp of white mist was rising from his head.

Could it be that he has gone crazy?

Su Ming was startled and wanted to keep some distance from him so that Li Maozhen could calm down. However, Li Maozhen became more and more crazy and seemed not to stop until he defeated him. His momentum became more and more ferocious.

It's a big game!

He was shocked and tried to think of a solution. He had originally wanted to use him as a sparring partner, so how could he have driven him to such a state of obsession? If one could not stop, he would be seriously injured and faint at best, or his tendons and veins would be broken and he would die.

This was no joke. He didn't know whether the Meteorite Gu could repair the injuries to his tendons and veins, but he absolutely couldn't go on like this. If something really happened to him, he would not be able to explain to the Empress.

After all, Li Maozhen was his brother. It was too unreasonable for him to beat him to the point of paralysis on their first meeting.

That's all.

Thinking of this, Su Ming became ruthless and used 70% of his strength.

At this moment, his whole body was shaking and his palm power increased dramatically. Li Maozhen seemed to have lost his mind and was completely unaware of his changes. He was caught off guard and was blown away by his palm.

However, this was not the end. Before he could land after flying backwards, Su Ming's figure came behind him and slammed his arm hard again. The masculine internal force directly broke his body's protective true qi.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking was heard and Li Maozhen's arm was broken by him.

The pain seemed to have aroused his ferocity. Li Maozhen became even more ferocious. He even ignored his injuries and wanted to forcibly exchange injuries with him. However, in the face of the absolute gap in strength, everything was nothing.

After he used all his strength, Li Maozhen couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

As his figure changed, Li Maozhen was unable to defend himself and all his limbs were broken by him. He lay on the ground, staring at Su Ming, his body twitching constantly, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.

"Well, I'll fight you next time." Su Ming shook his head, took out the Huayang needle from his arms, and used all his internal energy to give the acupuncture.

The silver needle shot out and locked Li Maozhen's eight extraordinary meridians. The surging internal force was locked in the meridians and could not flow, and was constantly impacting the tendons and veins.

If it were someone else, their meridians would probably be damaged by these internal forces, but Li Maozhen had the Meteoric Life Gu. Su Ming probed into his internal force and found that somewhere in his body was emitting endless vitality, repairing the damaged tendons and veins.

"Meteoric Life Gu? Not bad." Su Ming nodded, feeling relieved, and then used his internal force to guide the violent internal force in Li Maozhen's body to disperse to other tendons and veins.

At this time, the blood color in Li Maozhen's eyes slowly faded away and he returned to rationality.

"hiss!"

When he came to his senses, he felt a wave of severe pain. Even though he had a good heart, he almost cried out in pain. At this time, he realized that his limbs were broken.

However, just when Su Ming thought he was going to say something.

He just looked up at him, without saying anything, his eyes very calm.

Chapter 177 I am where I am today thanks to my own efforts!

(I had something to do yesterday and forgot to ask for leave!)

Su Ming felt a little amused when he saw him frowning, but his face remained expressionless. He waved his hand to absorb the silver needle and collected it in his palm.

Without the obstruction of the silver needles, Li Maozhen's internal energy that was blocked in other meridians began to flow again, constantly gathering together, and at the same time, his whole body made a crackling sound of bones.

The process was extremely painful, but he remained calm and endured it. The Meteoric Gu in his body also continuously released vitality to repair his broken bones.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Maozhen crawled up from the ground, his muscles and bones ringing and cracking.

"As expected of someone who has practiced in the Twelve Caves, he is tough as a whim." Su Ming marveled in amazement and kept looking at him. If the Meteorite Gu did not have a fatal flaw, he would have wanted to get one for himself.

The power of this Meteorite Gu is truly overbearing. I clearly broke all the bones in his limbs, but I didn't expect them to heal in less than a quarter of an hour. It is much stronger than those panaceas, coupled with Li Maozhen's combat power.

No wonder he is considered the number one person under Yuan Tiangang in the play. If it weren't for the plot, I'm afraid only Yuan Tiangang could deal with him. Li Siyuan would not be enough for him.

Unfortunately, it was his early death that led to the State of Qi being unable to compete with the State of Jin. Li Xingyun lost his ability to please both sides, and the emperor could no longer make use of his rare talent, which was equivalent to losing his value.

Things that have no value will naturally be discarded.

If Li Maozhen was still alive, Li Siyuan would never dare to risk the world's condemnation and send Li Cunli to assassinate the emperor. This was a brilliant move prepared by Yuan Tiangang, but unfortunately the brother-in-law killed himself.

This is what Su Ming suddenly thought of after seeing Li Maozhen. All he can say is that it is all about time and fate, and everything has been predestined.

Li Maozhen did not answer, but looked at Su Ming in surprise and asked, "Why is your skill so strong? Even if you have been practicing since you were in your mother's womb, it is impossible for your skill to be higher than mine!"
