Chapter 297: Pang Ban: I Refuse Li Ping's Challenge
Chapter 297: Pang Ban: I Refuse Li Ping's Challenge
Li Ping's speculation was not entirely without basis.
Lang Fanyun and the others could all sense the damage to the Heavenly Dao, and there was a high possibility that the Heavenly Dao would collapse along with the River of Time.
And aren't supernatural powers just like some kind of rule?
Isn't the Way of Heaven simply the embodiment of rules?
Of course, this is just Li Ping's guess, and it may not be true!
Li Ping continued, "There's also Time Crystal Sand, which are fragments of time after the collapse."
"It's also possible that what the immortals wanted to hide in our world was the Time Crystal Sand!"
"If supernatural powers are the seeds of the Heavenly Dao, then the Radiant Sand is like the seed of the world; as long as it is properly watered, it can grow again!"
"I collect Time Sands to gather the seeds of the world; I believe this is a mission given to me by the immortals!"
Aside from not revealing his own abilities, he had told the three men everything he knew, and he trusted their character.
Lang Fanyun was surprised to learn that Li Ping could actually return the memories from the Time Crystal Sand to him...
He believed Li Ping's words.
Yan Nantian recalled Li Ping's remarkable achievements, especially Xiao Yu'er's repeated accounts of how she had personally witnessed Li Ping's growth to such an extent.
Li Ping's rise to power was so rapid it was almost unbelievable; it truly seemed as if he were blessed with some kind of destiny.
Therefore, Yan Nantian also chose to believe, but both of them still had a major question: why did the immortals save martial artists from the shattered world?
Even the immortals said that mortals are the weakest in martial arts?
Li Ping had heard the same question many times, but he still had no answer. He could tell that even the two people in front of him were somewhat anxious about these things.
After all, even for them, that natural disaster was far too terrible.
Li Ping laughed and said, "I think that nothing in our world is beyond our understanding."
"After all, this is just a place where immortals hide their things. You wouldn't put an elephant in your hiding place, would you?"
"So, there's no need to worry too much."
"And there's definitely more than one 'treasure trove' like ours..."
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Don't think that if we don't do a good job, the world is doomed. Those are things we can't interfere with..."
Hearing this, Lang Fanyun chuckled and shook his head: "What you said makes some sense. We're not qualified to consider such things. There's not much we can do. Well then, I'll help you collect Time Crystal Sand."
Essentially, the Time Crystal Sand isn't meant to awaken supernatural powers; you can awaken supernatural powers without using it!
Yan Nantian said, "I'll help you too."
They no longer need to join the Flowing Light Memory Court, because the Flowing Light Memory Court is already too full.
Even if the two of them openly and honestly steal some Time Crystal Sand, it won't be a big problem.
The conversation then became more relaxed, turning to martial arts...
……
Pang Ban was restless.
Even though the laws of nature in this world are flawed, he still has certain senses, and he feels that something bad must have happened.
Unfortunately, he has only been in this world for a short time, and his intelligence network is simply not yet established!
It's a bit better on the grasslands, but if it happened in the Central Plains, he would really be no different from a blind man.
He sent Li Chimei out to gather intelligence for this very purpose.
The next day, Zhen Sushan entered and bowed, saying, "Master Demon, a disciple from the Search for Gods Palace has come to pay his respects, saying he is delivering a message on behalf of Sect Master Li Ping."
Zhen Sushan is the fiancée of Fang Yeyu, a disciple of Pang Ban, and also his top strategist.
In this world, they are also responsible for formulating some strategies and tactics.
Pang Ban frowned slightly.
The Temple of Searching for Gods?
It seems something must have happened to Chi Mei. I highly recommend "Martial Arts Crossover: That Night, Huang Rong Descended from the Sky"! Click to go directly to the story world. She must have been defeated by Li Ping.
Pang Ban sighed. Li Chimei was his right-hand woman and had even awakened the Heavenly Ghost Divine Power. Even he would find it very troublesome to deal with her.
Li Ping's strength seems to be far more terrifying than the rumors suggest.
Soon, Wang Xiaoshi was led in.
He accepted the task of delivering the challenge, which cost him a full 100 points.
Li Ping believed that Pang Ban, with his magnanimity, would never make things difficult for his disciples, which is why he delegated the task to them.
Wang Xiaoshi said with a graceful and generous manner, "Wang Xiaoshi, disciple of the Search God Palace, pays respects to the Demon Master."
Pang Ban asked directly, "How is Chi Mei?"
Wang Xiaoshi said, "Mr. Li and Ms. Hua were captured by the sect leader, but he didn't kill them..."
Besides wanting Hua Jieyu to obey, another reason Li Ping didn't kill Li Chimei was that he was worried about driving Pang Ban insane.
This world has no way to break through the void. If Pang Ban goes completely mad and starts lurking and assassinating people, that would be too terrible and too troublesome.
Wang Xiaoshi honestly recounted the events, saying, "The sect leader sent me to deliver the challenge. He invited the Demon Master to a battle at Mount Hua in half a month."
Pang Ban shook his head and said, "I refuse..."
Wang Xiaoshi said, "Since the Demon Master agrees... ah, you refuse?"
He's stunned!
He had heard enough of Pang Ban's name these days. Given Pang Ban's personality, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't possibly refuse a direct challenge, right?
Pang Ban chuckled and said, "I received some news before that your sect leader planted an unknown amount of explosives during a duel, which killed the person."
"He won because he was immortal."
"What kind of fool would actually fight someone who is immortal?"
Wang Xiaoshi was dumbfounded. The sect leader had killed the enemy with explosives?
impossible!
In his eyes, Li Ping's image was incomparably glorious and towering.
He was approachable, kind to everyone, and generous. He was a respected hero in the martial arts world. How could he do such a thing?
Impossible, it must be Pang Ban who slandered him.
Then he remembered Li Ping's words: "The sect leader said that the Mongol Yuan dynasty was driven out of the Central Plains in less than 100 years, which shows that the Mongol Yuan dynasty was simply incapable of governing such a large area."
"Even if you win and regain control of the Central Plains, you still won't be able to manage such a large area."
"You will only make this already crumbling world worse."
"The immortals sent us here so that we could unite and overcome this difficulty, not kill each other."
"I urge the Demon Master to reconsider!"
These words made Pang Ban tremble, and then he sighed.
Before he even saw Li Ping, Li Ping punched him hard in the face.
He was powerless to retaliate against that punch...
After Wang Xiaoshi left, Zhen Sushan couldn't help but ask, "Why did the Demon Master refuse?"
She couldn't imagine that Pang Ban would refuse a direct challenge from someone!
Pang Ban said, "If this world could still shatter the void, I would be very happy to accept this challenge... but not now."
"Chi Mei has been captured by Li Ping. Li Ping's strength far exceeds my previous estimates."
"More importantly, Li Ping is so strong that he can easily suppress the bewitched Chi Mei. He is also very clever and adept at using all his advantages. In addition, he is immortal. Facing such an enemy, we cannot fight him one-on-one on the battlefield he has chosen."
As for the Tatars entering the pass, they only made the world worse.
This might be true!
But at this time, stability may not be what is needed.
Only blood and fire can forge the sharpest blade...
Whoever survives to the end will be the sword the immortal desires!
