Chapter 458: Ascend to the top of the mountain, I am the peak
The air boiled at that moment, blurring people's vision.
Everything became blurry.
Everything around me disappeared in a trance, the house disappeared, the tables and chairs disappeared.
There is no sky or earth, no clouds and distant mountains.
Bai Fuming didn't know where he was. Zhu Xiaoyuan and Li Muchen stood opposite each other, surrounded by a void of white.
There are only two of them left in the whole world.
Bai Fuming was shocked.
The ultimate in martial arts, one can actually reach this state where nothing exists and only one is supreme.
Seeing how powerful his master was, Bai Fuming couldn't help but feel proud, but at the same time he felt a little ashamed. He had been practicing martial arts with his master for decades, but he hadn't even learned his master's first step. He really didn't deserve to be considered a grandmaster.
He secretly made up his mind to resign as the president of the Martial Arts Association, stop practicing worldly methods, and concentrate on martial arts from now on. He would never embarrass his master.
What Lin Manqing saw was similar to what Bai Fuming saw. Even though she followed the Xuanmen path, she was also shocked by Zhu Xiaoyuan's strength.
There are three thousand avenues, and all kinds of methods can be bypassed. It turns out that the peak of martial arts can really be connected with the avenue.
At this time, Zhu Xiaoyuan finally took action.
He stretched out a finger and lightly tapped Li Muchen's forehead.
It's not earth-shattering, it just clicks through, silently, even a little gentle, like a slapstick between lovers.
This action made Bai Fuming and Lin Manqing a little stunned.
But only Li Muchen felt the earth-shattering power condensed on his fingertips.
If you fall under this guidance, the diamond can be broken and the rock can be corrupted!
Li Muchen has come into contact with many martial arts masters, strong ones such as Huangfu Xian, and good fighters such as Banpu Zhiliang, but he is certain that none of them can take on Zhu Xiaoyuan's skills.
Li Muchen didn't move.
Zhu Xiaoyuan's finger stopped half an inch away from his eyebrows, and suddenly retracted it.
The moment it was retracted, the entire space suddenly retracted, as if time and space had changed, and everything returned to its original state.
The room was still the same room, and they returned to the Eight Immortals Table.
Zhu Xiaoyuan stood and Li Muchen sat, as if they had never moved.
Bai Fuming and Lin Manqing both breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did they realize that they were already sweating from nervousness.
Zhu Xiaoyuan was silent for a moment, sighed, and said: "There are talented people from generation to generation. I didn't expect that you are already so accomplished at such a young age."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu." Li Muchen said humbly, "The diamond finger you just made is enough to be recorded in the history of martial arts. Moreover, you still have 30% of your power left. If you use it with all your strength, I cannot remain indifferent."
Zhu Xiaoyuan chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Don't compliment me, that 30% of my strength was not reserved for you on purpose. I'm old and I dare not not save some strength. If you use all your strength, you don't know whether this finger will hurt you."
, but I will definitely hurt myself.”
"Even though it was only 70% of the strength, you still gave in in the end. You didn't want to hurt me at all, you were just testing me."
"Alas!" Zhu Xiaoyuan sighed, "You are the only flesh and blood of the Li family. How can I not miss the old feelings and kill them all! Just now I just wanted to test your inner demons. Under my diamond finger, you are still
Being able to remain unmoved is definitely not a demonic way. Moreover, you can ignore my seven powers. If you want to kill people, no one in Hongwu Villa can survive."
He said and glanced at Bai Fuming.
Bai Fuming couldn't help but shudder, and he was a little scared when he thought about it. Indeed, if Li Muchen had become murderous that day, he would have been dead long ago.
Lin Manqing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that no explanation was needed. This old man at the pinnacle of martial arts made his own judgment using martial arts methods.
She glanced at Li Muchen and wondered, maybe he already understood the old man's intention when he didn't let her explain just now?
Li Muchen smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, I'm very grateful that you believe in me."
Zhu Xiaoyuan waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me, it's your own fault. There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the mountains. I didn't expect that I have been practicing martial arts for more than a hundred years, and I thought I was at the top, but I am still not as good as you, a young kid who has never practiced martial arts."
Damn boy!"
As he said this, he laughed at himself.
Li Muchen was not angry that Zhu Xiaoyuan called him a brat. In terms of age, he was indeed a brat in front of Zhu Xiaoyuan.
And didn’t Zhu Xiaoyuan also say that his father, Li Yunhua, peed on Zhu Xiaoyuan when he was a child?
Just on this level, Li Muchen felt very friendly.
It's just that Zhu Xiaoyuan should be older than his grandfather Li Tiance, so even if he wanted to call him Grandpa Zhu, he felt it was hard to do so, for fear of disturbing his seniority, so he simply called him Mr. Zhu.
"Mr. Zhu, you just said, 'I am the peak at the top of the mountain.' Have you ever thought about the meaning of this sentence in the journey of martial arts?"
Zhu Xiaoyuan was stunned and said: "What's the point of reaching the top but reaching the end of the road? I'm standing at the pinnacle of martial arts now, and there's nothing left to pursue. What else can I do except wait for death?"
Li Muchen said: "Yes, the peak is at your feet, but since I am the peak at the top of the mountain, then after you reach the top, the peak is no longer the mountain, but yourself. Because you stand on the top of the mountain, you
Already higher than the mountains.”
"Myself?"
"Yes, it is you, which is the meaning of 'I am the peak'. Since there is a peak, of course you can continue to climb."
"I understand what you mean. You mean, let me take myself as the peak and constantly surpass myself to reach a higher peak. I thought so at the beginning. However, people can never stand on top of themselves.
Go up. There is the sky above your head, and there is no way to reach the sky. How to climb?"
"Who said there is no way to heaven? Has Zhu Lao heard of the ladder to heaven?"
"Ladder to heaven?" Zhu Xiaoyuan's body trembled and he looked at Li Muchen in surprise, "Did you come from..."
Li Muchen didn't say yes or no, he just said: "Old Zhu's martial spirit has become great, and he is qualified to climb the ladder to heaven."
Zhu Xiaoyuan recovered from the shock, and his heart jumped. He had not felt this way for a long time.
"No wonder you can easily pick up my finger. It turns out that my end is actually your starting point!" Zhu Xiaoyuan smiled at himself, "If I didn't stop my strength just now and tried to kill you with one finger with all my strength, would I be dead now?"
Already?"
Li Muchen said nothing.
Zhu Xiaoyuan did not ask any more questions, and laughed loudly, saying: "I know how people like Liu Jinsheng and Huangfuxian died. My master taught me well back then, 'Practice martial arts while embracing virtue, and your reputation will be achieved by practicing virtue; practice martial arts with virtue.
Those who use martial arts without virtue will surely die in martial arts.’ But they have all forgotten this truth!”
Speaking of this, Zhu Xiaoyuan suddenly paused, looked at Li Muchen and said:
"Mu Chen, you should be careful when you kill Huangfuxian. This man is narrow-minded and has mediocre qualifications, but he was able to achieve such an achievement because he had an expert's guidance behind him."
"Does Mr. Zhu know who that person is?"
Li Muchen had wanted to investigate this person for a long time. Huangfuxian's arrest of Lang Yuwen this time was obviously aimed at him, but he and Huangfuxian were strangers and had no grievances, so there must be someone behind this.
