Legend of the Great Sage

ding up again and throwing a punch!

Bang! The thump of air echoed through the secret room.

He shifted his feet backwards and twisted his waist, throwing both fists.
The indomitable ox demon bucks its horns.

It was as if he had returned to many, many years ago, to the same youth who focused on practising martial arts below Crouching Ox hill.
However, he was just not that youth anymore.
Every single move and strike was slow and heavy, channelling the very spirit he had developed across his entire life.

However, before long, a grumbling sound rang out in the darkness.
It took Li Qingshan a good moment of surprise before he discovered it was his stomach.
He could not help but rub his belly and smile.
He had to continue eating meat and drinking alcohol!

Gu Yanying slept very deeply.
She dreamt of wandering through outer space, where it was boundless, dark and spacious.
But this time, she was no longer clinging onto a pair of wings.
Instead, she had become the kunpeng.

When she woke up, she was still in a daze.
She lay on the soft bed and raised the dark azure feather high up, playing around with it in her right hand like she was emulating how it drifted through the air.
She let out sounds like “swish” and “swoosh”, as if the feather was sweeping up fierce winds and traversing through outer space.

“What are you doing?” Li Qingshan grinned.
She was basically like a child who could not be bothered getting out of bed, having a daydream.

Gu Yanying blushed for once.
She stowed the kunpeng’s feather away and sat up, “What did you do today?”

“You won’t be able to tell here.
You’ll know later,” said Li Qingshan.
His connection with the earth was still extremely weak, such that it did not exist when he was in the building.
“C’mon, let’s get something to eat!”

Gu Yanying also noticed she was famished.
She glanced at the hourglass, “It’s time to release the second page, or these guys are going to run out of patience.”

When they left the building, Gu Yanying immediately noticed Li Qingshan’s change.
Every single step he took was grounded and firm, possessing a familiar sense of power, “Your power’s recovered?”

“A little bit, but at least I’m not that feeble anymore.” Li Qingshan gripped his fist firmly, “You seem to have changed slightly as well.”

“Really? I didn’t put in as much effort as you.
I just slept.”

“Then feel free to sleep a little more from now onwards.”

The two of them arrived in the hall of the external courtyard after a leisurely stroll.
All of the swordsmen were already waiting there.
The hubbub immediately vanished as they watched them nervously and eagerly.
None of them had basically caught a wink of sleep the entire night, constantly studying the page of the sword manual.
They only found it to be absolutely ingenious and well beyond anything that words could describe.
Apart from Hou Hongtao and a small number of innate masters, most of the others had not even understood what the page was dictating.

Hou Hongtao also noticed their differences.
In particular, Li Qingshan’s changes were most obvious.
His resolute and firm bearing actually made him feel immovable.
If they still wanted to deal with them, he had already lost his best opportunity, but none of them had the time or energy to think of anything else with the page of the sword manual before them.

Li Qingshan sat on the throne forged from swords.
All he saw was a woman emerge from the crowd and call out, “Greetings, manor lord!”

The swordsmen were forced to copy her, “Greetings, manor lord.”

Only after a daze did Li Qingshan recognise the woman.
She was the one who knelt in the snow naked in the morning.
She had already changed into a set of clothes that were easy to maneuver in and she now carried a sword on her back, having changed her appearance completely.
He really struggled to recognise her after she had put on clothes.

Seeing how she was still pale, he could not help but ask, “Are you a little better?”

“Thank you for your concern, manor lord.
I’m already much better, but my three sisters did not have inner force as great as mine, so they were affected by the cold.
Even now, they’re still coughing away.
I, Fei Hongdai, would like to thank the two manor lords for saving their lives in their place!”

“That’s not a problem.
Hou Hongtao, don’t you practice Fierce Fire true qi? Help cure them!” Li Qingshan ordered him around casually.

“I don’t practice martial arts for something like that,” Hou Hongtao said proudly.
Even the White Ape King did not have the courage to order him around like a servant.

“Then let’s do it!”
