56: Tianxuan Jue

Miss Yun Li raised her head slightly, looking rather proud.

“Of course. I’ve been practicing Archery Skill since I was a child!”

Seeing his attack miss, Li Ning couldn't help but curse.

“Damn it, what’s the background of that woman? She’s actually so powerful!”

The time limit for his flying Martial Skill was almost up, so Li Ning no longer hesitated and unleashed his ultimate move.

He clasped his hands together, and a massive fireball appeared before him.

The fireball was initially only fist-sized, but within three seconds, it grew to the size of a person, then flew towards the three.

After completing this attack, Li Ning also descended from the sky, jumping back to the ground.

The time limit for his flying Martial Skill had expired.

But he was confident that his full-power attack was definitely something a Great Martial Master couldn't withstand.

He could go ahead and search for the three's corpses.

The massive fireball shot towards the three, its speed a bit slower than before, but its power was several times greater.

Yun Li shot two arrows consecutively, but neither could detonate it, only slightly weakening the fireball's power.

Just then, Lu Xingchen activated his Azure Cloud Wings, flying up from behind Xiao You and hovering in the air.

Yun Li was greatly astonished and shouted, “Lu Xingchen, are you trying to die?”

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, “If this fireball gets close to Xiao You, all four of us will die. Instead of being wiped out, let me give it a try!”

Yun Li’s tone was filled with shock: “That’s a Martial Spirit Realm Expert’s full-power attack, how could you possibly withstand it?”

Lu Chaoyang was also heartbroken and shouted, “Xiao Chen, come back quickly!”

He only regretted his low Realm, unable to use Dou Qi Wings to block this move for his son.

Lu Xingchen ignored their shouts, facing the person-sized fireball, and activated the Heaven Swallowing Art.

His Aura surged, and in just a few breaths, it rose to that of a Five-Star Great Martial Master.

Immediately after, Lu Xingchen unleashed the Heaven Obliterating Seal and then activated Jade Shatter.

A white Dou Qi Hand Seal appeared before him, then slammed violently towards the fireball.

The two stood in a momentary stalemate, then exploded violently.

The enormous shockwave directly sent Lu Xingchen flying, and he spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, continuously flying backward.

Xiao You immediately turned around and flew towards Lu Xingchen.

Finally, just as Lu Xingchen was about to hit the ground, Yun Li leaped up and caught him.

Li Ning, observing from the ground, frowned deeply.

“Damn, this Lu Xingchen is really something, to actually dare to take on my ultimate move head-on!”

“Although Lu Chaoyang got away, being able to kill a more promising Lu Xingchen is a definite profit.”

Thinking this, Li Ning didn't pursue further, turning and walking towards Zigui City.

On Xiao You’s back, Yun Li carefully held Lu Xingchen in her arms, nervously saying, “Lu Xingchen, are you alright?”

Lu Xingchen spat out another mouthful of blood and said softly, “Don’t worry, I won’t die!”

With that, Lu Xingchen touched the Storage Ring on his right hand, took out a third-grade rejuvenation pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Yun Li looked at Lu Xingchen with eyes full of shock.

“To withstand a Martial Spirit Realm Expert’s full-power attack with the Realm of a One-Star Grand Martial Master, Lu Xingchen, you’re too abnormal! Even more abnormal than me!”

Lu Chaoyang was also filled with relief, smiling, “My son Xingchen has the potential of a Great Emperor.”

Lu Xingchen smiled faintly, “Just a stroke of luck.”

Lu Xingchen was able to withstand this attack for multiple reasons.

Firstly, Yun Li’s two feathered arrows consumed part of the large fireball’s power.

Secondly, Lu Xingchen’s “Devouring” talent directly neutralized half of the fireball’s power.

As a result, Li Ning’s full-power attack was consumed until less than five layers remained.

Coupled with Jade Shatter and the Heaven Swallowing Art, Lu Xingchen was barely able to withstand this move.

After this battle, he personally experienced the power of a Martial Spirit Realm Expert; without cheating, there was basically no chance of winning.

Yun Li said in a deep voice, “Lu Xingchen, you’ve truly given me a great surprise. Someone as wise and brave as you is rare even within the Cangxuan Sect.”

“I’ve decided, from now on I will fully assist you in restoring the Dayan Kingdom. I believe, with you, the Dayan Kingdom truly has a chance of victory.”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “Thank you, Miss Yun Li. I have something to ask of you right now.”

Hearing this, Yun Li was slightly stunned.

“Speak. As long as it’s within my capabilities, I will definitely help.”

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, “I want to establish a squadron of Archers, entirely composed of Martial Masters, and I ask you to help me teach them Archery Skill. I’ve witnessed your Archery Skill firsthand, and it’s truly too formidable.”

Yun Li said in a deep voice, “You want to use this Archer squadron to counter Tianhui Kingdom’s Martial Master Brigade?”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “Miss Yun Li is truly intelligent, guessing it right away. So, I wonder if you can help.”

Yun Li said in a deep voice, “Yes. Although the Cangxuan Sect’s unique secret methods and Archery Skill cannot be passed on, training a few hundred divine Archers is absolutely no problem.”

Lu Xingchen continued, “Before that, could you teach me first? I’m truly envious of your Silent Arrow and your ability to imbue Martial Skills onto arrows. I promise I will never pass it on!”

Hearing this, Yun Li frowned.

These things were already top-secret information of the Cangxuan Sect; by rights, they couldn't be passed on.

But Yun Li also recalled their interactions these past few days.

Lu Xingchen was a good man, both brave and resourceful, with grand ambitions, and filial to his parents.

She trusted his integrity.

More importantly, Lu Xingchen’s talent was too strong.

He even possessed a Physique that allowed him to grow stronger in battle, potentially becoming the next War God of the Human Race.

Although it was a very small probability, it was still worth taking seriously.

After pondering for a moment, Yun Li said in a deep voice, “Alright, I’ll teach you!”

“Yay! Miss Yun Li is too kind!”

Lu Xingchen was overjoyed.

Even learning a fraction of Yun Li’s Archery Skill would significantly boost his combat power.

Yun Li touched the Storage Ring on her hand, and a scroll of Martial Skill appeared in her hand.

“This Martial Skill is called the Heavenly Pivot Art. It allows the user to attach Martial Skills to feathered arrows and is an earth rank low grade. Take it for now, but you’ll have to return it to me when I go back to the Cangxuan Sect. Understood?”

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was greatly astonished.

Earth-Rank Martial Skill!

Although it was only earth rank low grade, it was still a priceless treasure that couldn't be bought on the market.

He could already directly confront a Martial Spirit Realm Expert by relying on the earth rank low grade Heaven Obliterating Seal, so the power of this Heavenly Pivot Art must also be considerable.

Yun Li was truly a little rich woman; she just gave away an Earth-Rank Martial Skill so casually.

Needless to say, she definitely had even better Martial Skills in her possession.

He could slowly explore that later, taking advantage of whatever he could.

“Perfectly understood!”

Lu Xingchen smiled and accepted the Martial Skill.

Instantly, all the information about the Heavenly Pivot Art appeared in his mind.

As Yun Li said, after using the Heavenly Pivot Art, one could attach Martial Skills to feathered arrows, but it would consume an additional three layers of Dou Qi.

This was normal; after all, there was no such thing as a free lunch.
