Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 34: The Power of the Five Elements in Heaven and Earth!

Upon hearing these words, Li Hongling was first stunned, then became furious.

"How dare you!"

She waved her hand, and the giant star, Chen Yuan, fell into her hand, pointing directly at Chen Kuang. Her gaze was like lightning, and her voice thundered.

"Don't think that gaining some cultivation from somewhere means it's your own strength. In this world, every effort has its reward. Even if there is some falsehood, it can never become the truth!"

"Huo Hengxuan has hidden for forty years, sacrificing his life to set up a scheme, honing his sword to become a saint. I admire him, what about you?"

Although Li Hongling was horrified by the terrifying feat of crossing two realms to become a saint, she could actually understand what Huo Hengxuan was doing.

He had always been trying to prove the "Way of Protecting the Country," but it was difficult to gain recognition from this world with this path.

Because there were many who claimed to protect the country... but very few actually succeeded in doing so.

Is it enough to just expand the territory and defend the borders to be considered protecting the country?

If that's the case, then anyone could become a saint.

Only by turning the tide, supporting the collapsing empire, and stepping forward in times of national crisis to protect the country's last hope, can one truly be considered a protector of the country that the heavens and earth will witness!

Therefore, Li Hongling even had a kind of speculation, a terrifying speculation...

She even felt that there was a slight possibility - the destruction of the Liang Kingdom and the capture of Huo Hengxuan were part of their plan.

Of course, it was only a faint possibility.

If that were true, then what role did the deceased Su Yu play in all of this? It was truly terrifying to think about.

But the only known fact was that Huo Hengxuan had succeeded.

But Huo Hengxuan is Huo Hengxuan, what can you, a musician, amount to?! How dare you threaten to break her legs with the cultivation you obtained!

"Arrogant fool!"

Li Hongling shouted angrily and rushed towards Chen Kuang like an arrow leaving the bow.

"Previously, I showed mercy by only breaking your two legs. Today, I will let you taste the feeling of being beheaded!"

Her aura soared, and the true Embracing Moon Realm power emerged. The soldiers around her couldn't bear the pressure and fell to their knees.

Chen Kuang remained unmoved and plucked the strings.

"Zheng—"

A deep and distant sound of the qin spread across the battlefield like an echo in an ancient well.

There was no external display, as if it was just an ordinary sound of the qin.

However, anyone within a thousand miles who heard the sound of the qin instantly felt their eardrums rupture, temporarily losing their hearing or only hearing a sharp ringing in their ears.

As a famous qin, the sound of the Long Yin qin had a hint of killing intent compared to ordinary qins.

If an ordinary qin could be compared to a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and a melodious voice, who said her waist was slender and her smile could captivate anyone.

Then the sound of the Long Yin qin was like a sword-wielding woman, dressed in a green robe, dancing with her sword, her focus not on the people in front of her, but on the world.

When the sword is unsheathed, it will shock the world.

And this was only the impact on the outskirts of the battlefield.

Chen Kuang, with his Embracing Moon Realm cultivation and the qin of the Music Saint, fought against Li Hongling.

"Boom..."

The mark of a white lotus on his forehead radiated brilliance, and his aura surged like a tide. The spiritual energy overflowed, faintly spreading a huge lotus shadow.

The first phase of power had already accumulated three times, and the lotus had opened three petals.

But with a thought, he felt that there was still some power left, so he tried to stack another phase, just as Huo Hengxuan had advised him.

At this moment, the three phases of power were ready to be unleashed, and the lotus at the center slowly opened its fourth petal.

The fourth phase of power!

When the fourth phase of power was stacked, the mark on Chen Kuang's forehead dimmed slightly, appearing dull but actually more solid.

This fourth phase was actually comparable to the combined power of the previous three phases. Chen Kuang himself felt his heart pounding.

He had briefly experienced the power of the Grandmaster Realm, although it was a weaker version than the true Grandmaster, but it could still be considered.

And this fourth phase of power, with his current Embracing Moon Realm strength, could actually rival a strike from a Grandmaster!

Chen Kuang's heart burned with excitement. "The old man's words are true. If I can continue to stack power in the first phase, the potential is limitless!"

He suppressed his excitement, knowing that he couldn't fight for long. This fourth phase of power had to be unleashed at the most critical moment, delivering a fatal blow...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Li Hongling's gaze was sharp, her giant halberd moved freely in her hand, her long hair danced in the wind, and her figure was like a mountain meteor, constantly colliding with the illusory white lotus formed by the surging spiritual energy.

Every time the giant halberd struck, it created a large crater.

The raging Gang wind howled, each strike causing the soft petals of the white lotus to cave inward, tearing them into spiritual dust that scattered in all directions.

The lotus quickly began to tilt and sway, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Meanwhile, Chen Kuang, who was holding the qin in the center, had a solemn expression. He pressed down on the strings, remaining calm and composed, closing his eyes to gather his emotions.

"Boom!"

Another strike opened a gap in the illusory white lotus.

This tide-like white lotus actually had no real value, it was purely a matter of quantity. Even if these spiritual energies were not used, they would soon dissipate on their own.

It would be better to smash them all out and buy him some time.

Seeing this, Li Hongling's face revealed a crazed expression. Her crimson eyes burned with intense killing intent as she burst into laughter.

"Having power but not knowing how to use it, you truly are seeking death!"

After speaking, she broke through the barrier formed by the tide of spiritual energy. The giant star, Chen Yuan, came crashing down, releasing all of its spiritual energy, with the momentum of a collapsing mountain and a toppling sky.

Li Hongling was already at the end of her strength. For her, there was only the option of a quick battle.

This strike would determine everything!

The giant halberd, accompanied by wind and thunder, instantly landed on Chen Kuang's forehead. The blade cut through his forehead skin, drawing blood.

"Sss!"

The powerful wind tore through his body, opening several wounds that stained his white linen robe red.

At the brink of death, he returned to his past life.

Powerlessness, emptiness, collapse, unwillingness, fear... various emotions surged in his heart.

Chen Kuang suddenly opened his eyes and plucked the strings.

"Clang!"

When the sound of the qin resonated, the emotions contained within it were infinitely amplified by the "Heavenly Demon Melody." The soldiers who were nearby instantly lost control of themselves, dropping their weapons.

Some were in tears, some were crying in pain, some were laughing maniacally, and some were attacking each other.

It was chaos.

There were even some fragile individuals who went mad, raising their weapons and stabbing themselves.

Committing suicide on the spot!

Li Hongling, who was closest to them, instantly recalled the moment when she faced Huo Hengxuan's ascension. In a daze, Chen Kuang in front of her seemed to have transformed into the old man who stood up again.

"You!!!"

Her heart tightened, her breathing stagnated, and she almost wanted to flee.

But it was only a moment, and she quickly regained her composure.

The illusion dissipated.

The lotus mark between the young man's eyebrows had completely solidified, merging into his skin and being stained red by the flowing blood.

The dragon's teeth were now carried on his back.

Chen Kuang smiled faintly at her, his smile strangely gentle and soft, carrying a compassionate Buddha-like nature.

Time seemed to stand still as Chen Kuang slowly spoke.

"You're right, in this world, every action has its consequences. But I'm different..."

"Have you ever heard of a Martial Arts Prodigy?"

Chen Kuang moved casually, his arms forming circles, one pointing to the sky and the other to the ground, merging above his body.

In his eyes, a golden light suddenly burst forth, and five petals of white lotus bloomed all over his body.

The third stage, Two Dragons Bathing Buddha!

Five layers of strength!

"Before, in order to protect myself, I was forced to kneel before you, and you broke both my legs. Now, I don't ask for much..."

Chen Kuang took a step forward, his hands forming seals, and suddenly smashed down with a thunderous shout.

"Just return everything to its original state!"

"Boom!"

Under the immense power, there was no room for resistance.

The giant halberd was instantly sent flying.

"Ah!"

Li Hongling's legs below her knees suddenly exploded, her meridians, flesh, and bones crushed into a mess.

She fell to her knees, and when she tried to resist, her waist made a cracking sound. Her spine was broken, and she crawled on the ground in pain, screaming.
