Kumārajīva chanted a Buddhist prayer and solemnly stepped down from his seat: "If I could, I really wouldn't want to confront someone like Benefactor Li."
Li Ping scoffed, "Laughable! Did I invite you here?"
Kumārajīva said to himself, "Originally, I devoted my life to studying Buddhism and only wanted to promote and spread it."
"But later I came into contact with martial arts, became obsessed with it, went mad with it, and wasted half my life."
"Even after I came into the world, I still did not realize that there was anything wrong with my behavior."
"Until I came across another Buddhist scripture that I had left behind."
"At that time, I lost all my martial arts skills, but I finally understood the true meaning of Buddhism."
"Then I suddenly realized the truth and thus awakened my supernatural powers."
"I originally only wanted to dedicate everything to Buddhism, but unfortunately, a calamity struck and it became impossible to survive outside this realm."
"My actions are solely for the sake of seeking a way to survive for those living beyond this realm."
The audience didn't understand what extraterrestrial natural disasters were, and just thought he was talking nonsense.
Li Ping understood, but scoffed, "You started this war, and you claim you want to find a way to survive for those beyond our borders?"
"So we should just let you invade the south, let you kill, burn, and loot as you please?"
"Aren't the lives of people from the Central Plains lives too?"
"And what's with all this talk of Buddhism? Pah!"
"Stop talking nonsense. No matter how much you talk, you're all just robbers, trying to steal other people's land and things."
Kumārajīva sighed, "He deserves this scolding!"
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed his signature move, the Flaming Blade, chanting, "I see this blade is neither fire nor a blade, but rather a manifestation of the karmic fire of greed, anger, and ignorance of all sentient beings..."
A ball of fire ignited in his hand, transforming into a blade that slashed fiercely at Li Ping.
At that moment, the entire venue fell into dead silence!
Everyone was stunned, feeling a chill run down their spines and seeing stars. What the hell did I just see?
Of all the sword and saber energies in the world, those that can condense into sword light like Li Ping are extremely rare, but those that can transform sword energy into real flames are unheard of.
Is this supposed to be martial arts?
Is this the supernatural power of the Great Wheel King?
Faced with such a bizarre supernatural power, Li Ping dared not take it head-on. He quickly dodged to avoid Kumārajīva's flaming blade.
Unexpectedly, the Flaming Blade dispersed, scattering into countless streams of light that clung to Li Ping like maggots.
Even with Li Ping's incredible speed, he couldn't shake him off.
He used the "Nine Heavens Rainbow Robe" technique, making continuous turns in the air, trying to find an opportunity to attack Kumārajīva, but the sky full of fire still blocked him.
Kumārajīva, with a dignified and solemn appearance, clasped his hands and lowered his brows, like a great and virtuous monk: "The three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance are the shackles you carry with you. Before the blade is drawn, the inner demons have already taken hold. What you are dodging is not the blade, but the obsessions in your heart..."
"The more you try to hide, the stronger your obsession becomes, and the more intense the flames ignite. These blade flames are a manifestation of your own mind; how can you possibly escape them?"
Seeing that he couldn't dodge it, Li Ping's longsword pulsed with sword light, frantically unleashing its sword energy, and struck the fiery blade light.
In an instant, he felt a fire rise from the depths of his heart, and in a moment, the fire ignited within him, turning him into a human torch.
Everyone felt a chill. This kind of sword energy was impossible to dodge or avoid; it ignited directly in your heart. How could you possibly fight against it?
Seeing Li Ping turn into a human torch, Yue Lingshan covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, Ning Zhongze put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, Master Li has the power of immortality."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding audience breathed a sigh of relief.
But Huang Rong and the others were all on edge: "Is this supernatural power really that strong?"
Only they knew that Li Ping's immortality was not limitless; if he couldn't dodge Kumārajīva's move, he wouldn't be able to fight back at all.
Kumārajīva's expression remained unchanged, and with a swift movement, he was about to approach Emperor Zhengde.
At that moment, the flames on Li Ping's body went out. The flames were indeed unlike ordinary fire. He himself had been truly ignited, but his clothes were completely unharmed!
He can only rewind his own timeline!
Even using the Tai Xu Hua Yan counterattack wouldn't work, because the fire truly ignited from within his body.
Li Ping frowned deeply; this was the first time he had encountered such terrifying supernatural power.
Yuan Suiyun's "deception" ability is terrifying, but his direct combat ability is lacking.
Shangguan Jin Hong's "Golden Ring" supernatural power specializes in attacking the mind and is invincible. However, Li Ping has a strong mind and can also rewind time, so Shangguan Jin Hong's Golden Ring supernatural power cannot be used continuously, and he can still fight.
The Golden Wheel Monk's "Dragon Elephant" supernatural power is very strong, but as long as you don't get hit by him head-on, you're fine.
But Kumārajīva's supernatural powers were unstoppable and unavoidable, utterly flawless...
wrong!
If his supernatural powers are truly invincible, then who in the world can stop him? If he wants to kill the emperor, he can just kill him directly; why bother with all this trouble?
Like other supernatural powers, it must have some kind of limitation!
Is it like Shangguan Jin Hong, where there is a limit to the number of times it can be used?
While pondering, Li Ping didn't stop. His longsword was instantly drawn, transforming into countless tiny streams of light.
But Kumārajīva took another step forward, clasped his hands together again, and unleashed another flaming blade strike.
Li Ping desperately dodged, using "Nine Heavens Rainbow Robe" again in an attempt to get close to Kumārajīva, but he couldn't do so under the pursuit of the flames.
That flame reignited the fire in Li Ping's heart, turning him into a man of fire!
The next moment, Li Ping rewound time again.
Twice now!
In the blink of an eye, I've already traveled back in time twice!
This is something I've never encountered before!
What exactly are the limitations of this supernatural power?
There are definitely limitations!
Otherwise, Kumārajīva could have assassinated the emperor right now! What exactly is it?!
The scene was deathly silent. How could they fight like this?
This is impossible to fight!
Li Chenzhou said, "Your Majesty, perhaps we should return first..."
Zhu Houzhao gave a bitter laugh: "What kind of emperor runs away while his soldiers are fighting? Am I that kind of incompetent and foolish ruler?"
"Besides, what's the difference between dying now and dying later?"
Kumārajīva was also paralyzed.
He had heard of the immortality technique many times, but when he actually saw it, he realized how troublesome it was.
The Flaming Blade ignited Li Ping's three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance. As long as these three poisons are not eliminated, the flame will not be extinguished, and his immortality will be restored to its original state.
This is too exaggerated!
With Li Ping keeping him occupied, it was impossible for him to assassinate the emperor.
But I can't kill him!
I couldn't do the pressure point techniques, decapitation, or dismemberment that I had previously considered.
Li Ping's martial arts skills are too high. If I want to do these things, I will inevitably have to fight him and get close to him. Getting close to Li Ping will give him the opportunity to kill me!
That's not right either!
correct!
Li Ping's immortality ability must have limitations, otherwise why would he be dodging and hiding?
Then, he clapped his hands together again and unleashed another flaming blade. The tiny flames seemed to transform into a golden lotus, making him appear even more like a Buddha descending to earth!
Li Ping used "Nine Heavens Rainbow Robe" again. He decided that after flashing through the air nine times, he would let the Flame Blade hit him and rewind time at that moment.
Not only are they immune to damage, but they can also use "Nine Heavens Rainbow Robe" again to look for opportunities.
It seems that Kumārajīva is not willing to engage in close combat with him at all.
If I die twice more, then Xiao Zhu, I'm sorry, I have to run away!
But at that moment, Huang Rong's voice rang out: "Li Ping, no! This isn't supernatural power, it's martial arts!"
Su Ying continued, "Yan Nantian said that supernatural powers consume spirit, the power of the mind, while martial arts consume true energy. What he just consumed was true energy!"
Huang Rong continued, "His previous words were implying that his Flaming Blade was a supernatural power, but it wasn't, absolutely not!"
Li Ping's mind was reeling. Was this martial arts?
Has the martial arts of this world evolved to this level?
He roared, "Impossible! Martial arts in this world couldn't possibly be this strong!?"
Upon hearing this, Kumārajīva was struck dumb!
