"Clang!"
The sounds of collisions were endless.
Fang Zheng transformed into the Twelve Forms of Xingyi, sometimes doing a Tiger Pounce, other times a Horse Vault, and sometimes leaping like a Spiritual Monkey.
The Gang Qi outside his body changed accordingly to enhance its power.
Tiger Form!
As he took a step, he added a double drill, with his palms embracing Qi and pouncing like the wind.
With his palms turned inward, Fang Zheng formed tiger claws and pounced fiercely, palm thunders flashing, and in an instant, the rumbling was endless.
Three consecutive pounces forced the two opponents to retreat again and again.
"Zheng..."
The sword in Luoxian’s hand hummed gently, emitting an unwilling wail like a living entity, and the Sword Intent intensified.
The couple’s Heart Intent was in sync.
Linghu Changping instantly understood his wife’s intentions, and also took a deep breath, holding the sword and pointing it forward.
"Uncle!"
"Take another move from us!"
"Alright." Fang Zheng took a step back, his hands slightly drooping, as an invisible Protective Force instantly enveloped his body:
"Bring it on."
Linghu Changping and Luoxian exchanged a glance, their Qi intertwining, seemingly merging into one.
Xiaoxiang Night Rain conveys Autumn Thoughts!
Both swords moved simultaneously, starlight descending, sunset rising against it, changing unpredictably and hard to grasp.
The hazy Sword Qi rapidly expanded, encompassing Fang Zheng within.
The dense Sword Qi first descended like sunset, covering several zhang, leaving no refuge or escape.
What was even more terrifying was the Treasure Swords in their hands, capable of cutting gold and jade with ease.
Even a Flawless Martial Artist couldn’t withstand it.
"Peng!"
Hundred Rivers Converging!
Fang Zheng’s body lightly trembled, the Protective Force forming a vortex, stepping on Seven Stars, rushing towards the dual swords.
The incoming assault could not break through the Protective Force.
Heart Intent—Dragon and Snake Coiling Strike!
Combined Attack Secret Technique—Xiaoxiang Night Rain!
"Peng!"
"Boom..."
The figures of the three intertwined in mid-air, Qi bursting, like a whirlwind sweeping the Martial Arts Arena in an instant.
The surrounding spectators retreated repeatedly.
"Swish!"
Fang Zheng lightly landed on the ground.
After Linghu Changping and Luoxian landed, they each took two steps back, their faces showing a hint of paleness.
"Not bad."
Fang Zheng spoke slowly:
"You two have reached Flawless so quickly, forcing me to go all out. Given time, your potential is limitless!" freewebnøvel.com
Hmm...
Exerting four-tenths of my cultivation base, indeed so.
However, the Treasure Swords in their hands are sharp enough to easily cut through even a Flawless Martial Artist’s Gang Qi.
They’re just true disciples of Pure Yang Palace. If they were true disciples of an Immortal Sect, they would surely have better things.
Perhaps they could pose a threat to me.
Therefore,
Even with significant improvement in my strength, I should not take opponents lightly.
"Uncle praises us too much."
Linghu Changping didn’t know Fang Zheng’s thoughts, sheathed his sword, and cupped his fists, his tone filled with admiration:
"No wonder grandfather said Uncle has heaven-sent talent. Seeing it today, it’s truly well-deserved."
"We’re just frogs at the bottom of a well."
"Indeed." Luoxian also said:
"Elder’s fists and palms are formidable, and even with our sharp weapons, we can’t take advantage of it. Looking across Zhaonan Prefecture, there’s hardly anyone like you."
"Haha..." Fang Zheng laughed heartily:
"Let’s not flatter each other. Let’s get back, get back to sitting."
Saying this, he walked towards the guest hall with his hands behind his back, his expression and aura unchanged from start to finish.
This,
Astonished the two, for they truly went all out and clearly ended up at a disadvantage.
Linghu Qiuchan prepared a banquet to entertain the two.
"Martial Arts..."
After three rounds of drinks, Fang Zheng relaxed a lot, facing the two’s inquiries, he smiled and said:
"It’s true that I created it myself, yet it’s also based on insights gained from predecessors, not merely my own achievement."
"As for why ordinary techniques have greater power, one reason is the enhancement from Transforming Qi into Form, another is..."
"I used to favor powerful Secret Techniques and Killing Moves, but later gradually understood that the foundation of Martial Dao lies in basics. If you can turn Secret Techniques and Killing Moves into ordinary techniques, wouldn’t that be even better?"
"I used to painstakingly create Killing Moves, even named them things like Unsettled Qiankun and Primordial Infinite, but now I don’t use them anymore."
"Each move and technique, integrating smoothly, adapting to situations on the battlefield, the power wouldn’t diminish..."
"Could this be Returning to the True Self?" Luoxian pondered deeply:
"What Elder said somewhat resembles the records left by a Martial Arts Grandmaster in the sect’s texts." freewёbnoνel.com
"Is that so?"
Fang Zheng sighed slightly:
"Indeed, what I can realize, must have been thought of by others before. Unfortunately, I’m not a sect disciple and had no guidance on my cultivation path; otherwise, why would I have taken so many detours?"
"Uncle’s gifted with extraordinary talent and is not too old yet, given time, you will surely become a Martial Arts Grandmaster." Linghu Changping complimented.
"Haha..." Fang Zheng laughed heartily:
"I’ll take your fortunate words."
......
The next day.
Linghu Changping and Luoxian returned to Zhaonan Prefecture.
On the road.
"Elder Fang obviously concealed his true strength, his power is likely far beyond ours." Luoxian said, her face serious:
"To think that this person is so remarkable?"
"Indeed!"
Linghu Changping nodded in agreement:
"Transforming Qi into Form, looking across the entire Zhaonan Prefecture, there are very few who can achieve this, and Uncle’s proficiency in this aspect is evidently extraordinary."
"Heart Intent Twelve Forms, changing freely, purely in terms of Martial Arts, Pure Yang Palace likely has no match for him."
"Hmm..."
"At most, they can only draw with him."
Luoxian made no sound, just nodded slowly.

Prefecture City.
As expected.
King Kang ordered the expedition against Jinzhou Prefecture, to suppress dissent.
Previously, Fang Zheng came to Prefecture City during the siege of the Cyan Wolf Gang, and this time was no exception.
"Young Master Song!"
"Fang Zheng from Gu’an County?"
Song Ji raised his head, looking at the man in a long robe with folded fists standing below the main hall, smiling.
