More than fifty years ago, after Liu Tangxi took over as Peak Master, she chose to spend most of her time outside exterminating demons. Therefore, the younger generation of disciples have rarely seen her, let alone experienced her harsh teachings firsthand.
Fun fact.
The martial arts skills of these current third-generation disciples were learned from the older, second-generation disciples who had been beaten by Liu Tangxi. This is why no one among the third-generation disciples can gain her approval.
Teaching martial arts has always been the duty of Swordmaster Peak, but someone had been roaming outside for decades and only now decided to return home to pass on their skills to the disciples.
Sauntering leisurely forward with a twig in hand, the stance showed that if Gu Miyun didn't act quickly, he'd likely face another round of beatings. Hence, he had to grab his weapon with his trembling, twisted left body, using his left hand to grasp the weapon held in his right hand.
At that moment, the numbness in his body finally faded, and as he grasped the halberd, his magic treasure burst forth with a majestic and commanding purple-golden light!
"Demon Suppression Immortal Venerable, hear my divine command, Purple Gold Alms Bowl, transform into..."
No more hiding.
In front of his elders, he could naturally unleash all his power without constraints, going all out. After all, during the martial arts meet of Nine Peaks, he had already used it against Jiang Feng, so he wasn't afraid of being seen through. But unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking...
Smack!
The light exuded by the Purple Gold Alms Bowl was immediately shattered, falling apart like shards of broken glass flying everywhere.
Baffled.
Throughout the whole process, he didn't feel that this elder, who was way too old to get married, had used any spiritual energy.
"Still daring to wield Daoist Skill in front of me."
A cold laugh.
It wasn't a suppression in terms of cultivation between the two, but a suppression in realm and experience.
Even brothers like Jiu He didn't dare to cast spells directly in front of Liu Tangxi; one had to endure and stall the opponent, while the other performed Daoist Skill, alternating and cycling to barely hold back this mad woman.
Even Jiang Feng, when sparring with his senior sister, didn't dare to cast a spell openly. At that instant of body freeze and the flaw revealed while channeling spiritual energy, facing Liu Tangxi, was like you voluntarily put your head on her longsword.
He had grasped this point three years ago when he, clueless and reckless, performed the Scarlet Sun Infinite Heavenly Thunder Art in front of his senior sister, getting stabbed right in the heart, causing the spell that hadn't been fully cast to explode inside him, nearly killing him.
The fearless, even now Gu Miyun was completely bewildered, and that slender twig accurately broke the spell at its weakest point. His numb right hand still held the spell gesture, left hand gripping the halberd, too late to turn around, just feeling a chill on his backside.
The robe was lifted by the twig, then suddenly.
Pia!
Crispy and ear-catching.
Snapped it in half.
Half of the twig spun a few times in the air like a broken sword swirling, falling directly in front of those disciples watching from a distance.
Clang!
If no one told, hearing the sound, no one could have imagined this thing was a twig, sticking upright in the ground, unmoved.
Clang—
The weapon fell with a thud.
Taking a deep breath, he walked a dozen meters forward clutching his backside before stopping, eyes rolling white, the kind of pain feeling like Liu Tangxi sliced him in half with a knife.
"Master, I was wrong, I was wrong, please be gentle..."
Trembling, he uttered these few words.
It's not that he was spineless, but who could stand firm in front of Liu Tangxi? This scene couldn't help but remind him of the conversation he once had with Jiang Feng at Swordmaster Peak.
"Why don't you find more of your own problems if you can't beat my senior sister?"
Now he's sober.
Fairy Liu merely kicked the weapon on the ground back towards him, Gu Miyun had to catch it with skill, but his other hand still clutched his backside, feeling the scorching pain yet unable to use spiritual energy to protect it now.
Right, because that tap earlier had directly dispelled his spiritual energy and magic treasure.
Spiritual energy couldn't be used, Daoist Skill directly broken, skill resulted in being beaten up, how to fight?
Yet even so, Gu Miyun never admitted defeat, though the entire process was being beaten up, he still reaped plenty of benefits. Liu Tangxi wasn't simply seeking revenge, more to give pointers while bullying the kid a little.
After all, he was the first chair among the third-generation disciples—a good sapling representing Purple Cloud Palace in battles. Now that he had clear weaknesses, as his uncle, she should offer some guidance.
Just that the tuition was slightly expensive.
Snap!
Casually picked another twig from the willow tree nearby.
This sound made one shiver, stepping forward, though this was a one-sided battle, as long as the surrounding disciples spying learned a little, it was enough to benefit them greatly.
The strategy Liu Tangxi exhibited was very standard, never giving you the chance to release Daoist Skill and magic treasure, even if you seized the moment to release it, she'd show you how to counteract in the simplest and most violent way.
"The Purple Gold Alms Bowl activates from outside inward, there will always be a weak spot. If I get to your side and you don't know how to adapt, if you place the flaw on the opposite side, how could my twig break your magic treasure?"
"Steady but not nimble and variable in footwork, the weapon slightly cumbersome, flaws overrun in Daoist Skill, with your tactics, you could never use Daoist Skill in front of me for a lifetime."
"Accentuating strengths and avoiding weaknesses, breaking a face with a point, if earlier you realized my approach, faked a move to disrupt me, seizing the chance to distance, maintaining defensive stature, might not win, but wouldn't be disadvantaged shortly."
"Facing opponents with higher realms than oneself, prioritize not falling into danger because of using Daoist Skill, otherwise, counterproductive, what could have been a standoff would, due to hastiness, be one-sided."
"Remember, even if unable to win, make yourself invincible, magic treasures are good, but not the body itself. Sometimes using a magic treasure to attract attention, trick, could yield extraordinary effects."
"You've been interrupted by me three times, anxious three times, now again, why haven't you learned your lesson."
Holding the twig in her hand, yet did not continue to attack.
Because she could sense part of her Divine Soul seemed to have an over-the-top reaction, though she and Jiang Feng were not to the extent of blood connection or soul resonance, yet leaving part of her Divine Soul within, she naturally sensed changes in his body.
If not mistaken, Jiang Feng should have awoken by now.
"Of course, thank you for the guidance, Master Xie, I've learned a lot."
Honestly wielding the weapon, he bent down to bow, performing the disciple's salute.
"Thank you for the guidance, Master Xie."
A few simple sentences enlightened him.
Indeed, if facing slightly stronger opponents seeing you pull out a magic treasure intending to use, either interrupting or pulling magic treasures themselves, during fierce battles, using a magic treasure as bait could trick them forward.
The onlookers also voiced out, in just a few sentences the method of overcoming the strong with the weak was vividly displayed, they hadn't thought of using such a method to trick before.
"After the Martial Arts Meet, before dispatching disciples to experience all over, I will come to Dragon Head Peak every day."
"Yes."
Nodded.
His body disappeared, very crisply vanished, directly fled.
Though beaten, he wasn't discontent, watching Liu Tangxi leave, his heart couldn't help but,seeing Liu Tangxi retreat whereas his heart couldn't help but,
