Chapter 2207 - 2208: An Old Acquaintance, Huang Jian

Huang Jian said, "If you hand over the Peach Blossom Secret Realm now, I can let the Palace Master allow you to leave."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Sorry, the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map is not with me."

Huang Jian said, "I am aware of your progress. When I first met you, you were merely at the Zhiyi Boundary. How long has it been since then, and now you have reached the mid-stage of the Pursue Heart State.

The large progress you've made must surely be related to the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map, so you should still hand it over."

Ling Zhenfei said, "In the end, that's just your speculation. That time in the manor I told you I didn't have it, so when you asked me to hand it over, I gave you a fake one and that's it. You shouldn't be so persistent."

Huang Jian said, "Stop giving me that rubbish. The things that belong to our Guimou Sect will be reclaimed by us sooner or later. Now you can make a choice, walk away yourself or let this pretty foreign girl receive a palm strike from the Palace Master."

The Master of Li Hen Palace apparently had great trust in Huang Jian, so she allowed him to speak earlier.

Anna said to Ling Zhenfei, "You should go quickly, don't mind me. Their target is you, not me. There's no way I can withstand the strike."

Ling Zhenfei knew that if Anna hadn't done anything earlier, perhaps she wouldn't be in any danger.

But now it was different, it was indeed very dangerous for Anna to stay.

Ling Zhenfei said, "No way, I have to take you with me. It's too dangerous for you to stay."

Ling Zhenfei said to Huang Jian, "I am willing to take a palm strike from the Palace Master for her."

Anna hastily tugged on Ling Zhenfei and said, "Are you stupid? It's clearly a trap set to fool you, why do you insist on falling for it?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I know it's a trap, but is there a better way? You absolutely cannot stay."

Anna said, "Do you think after surviving one strike, you can take a second one?"

Ling Zhenfei shook his head and said, "I know I probably can't withstand it, but I am still willing to try for you."

At this moment, the Master of Li Hen Palace said, "Well, you two are really touching, a pair of star-crossed lovers indeed. Am I acting like someone who's beating a pair of lovebirds?"

Huang Jian said, "Why don't you fulfill this boy's wish, Palace Master? Give him another palm strike. Isn't he willing to try your palm force? Let him try it thoroughly."

The Master of Li Hen Palace looked at Ling Zhenfei and Anna and said, "Then I can promise you that as long as you survive my palm strike, I'll let you go."

Ling Zhenfei looked at the Master of Li Hen Palace and said, "Palace Master, do you mean it?"

The Master of Li Hen Palace said, "That's right, I keep my word. I can't believe that I would allow you to survive unharmed."

Anna said, "It's not possible, you're already injured. There's no way you can endure this palm strike."

Ling Zhenfei said, "If I die, it's fortunate if you can survive."

Tears filled Anna's eyes; she who was usually as soothing as a Spring Breeze now appeared as pitiable as raindrops on a pear blossom.

Ling Zhenfei pushed Anna aside, then placed two items into her hands.

"These two items were given to me by you and Alice; it seems fitting to give them back to you now. Please return them to Alice."

What Ling Zhenfei took out were the two glowing stones that Anna and Alice had gifted him; up to now, Ling Zhenfei didn't know what they were.

Anna looked at the stones in surprise and said, "Alice gave you this?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Yes."

Anna smiled slightly and said, "It's unexpected that she even gave it to you, truly astonishing."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Take care."

After saying this, Ling Zhenfei walked towards the center, returning to the position where he had just stood.

A farewell, as if carrying a resolve to die.

Ling Zhenfei said to the Master of Li Hen Palace, "Palace Master, we shall begin then."

Saying this, Ling Zhenfei placed two elixirs into his mouth.

The Master of Li Hen Palace saw this and chuckled, "Is it time to take your medicine now? Do you think taking medication now would be of use?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I just need to take it on time because I caught a cold yesterday, nothing more."

The Master of Li Hen Palace laughed heartily and said, "Good, I like that stiff spine of yours, but it's a pity."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Palace Master, you really talk too much, let's get started."

The Master of Li Hen Palace said, "I don't understand, is joining our Li Hen Palace more difficult than facing death? If you join us, I promise you'll live well.

Isn't it wonderful to live with this foreign girl as an Immortal couple, conquering the land in my name and entering the annals of history with countless accolades?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Palace Master, there's no need for you to say more. Each person has their own goals, and they can't be forced. I'm not that kind of person, I don't care for fame and historical record."

The Master of Li Hen Palace said, "Then I can only kill you, fulfilling the saying: if I can't have it, I'll destroy it with my own hands."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Let's begin then."

Ling Zhenfei was fully prepared, intending to use the seventh punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists; what can one hold back during life and death?

The seventh fist of Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists is twice the power of the sixth fist; this was Ling Zhenfei's trump card. It's likely the Master of Li Hen Palace did not anticipate Ling Zhenfei could unleash a strike double the power of the previous palm.

If the Master of Li Hen Palace is a bit careless, perhaps there is a chance for survival.

The Master of Li Hen Palace's hands moved slightly, and as they moved, the powerful Northern Spiritual Energy began to surge frantically. It's somewhat baffling how the surrounding Spiritual Energy could turn solid.

The Master of Li Hen Palace said, "Today I'll show you the might of my Sea Without Bounds."

Ling Zhenfei's heart raced with alarm. The chant of the Li Hen Palace is that the Master of Li Hen Palace is wise and martial, like Sea Without Bounds.

This Sea Without Bounds must certainly be a mighty technique.

Sure enough, with the palm force of the Master of Li Hen Palace in motion, the surrounding Spiritual Energy began to move frantically.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked internally, suddenly feeling as if in the ocean, with the surrounding Spiritual Energy like sea water, that Spiritual Energy seemed to transform into liquid, enveloping Ling Zhenfei within.

Boom!

A great wave of the sea surged toward Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei felt as if the entire might of the sea was rushing toward him.

Not daring to slack off, he quickly maximized his Spiritual Energy and punched toward the surging waves.

His Spiritual Energy was mighty indeed, yet in the face of the ocean's strength, it seemed minuscule.

Earlier, when the Master of Li Hen Palace unleashed that strike on Ling Zhenfei, while it seemed the surrounding Spiritual Energy had become solid, its power was nothing compared to Sea Without Bounds.

At most, it was a low-grade version of Sea Without Bounds, and Ling Zhenfei's heart was very worried, yet then again it seemed there was nothing to worry about.

The Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists is a divine skill, wondrous indeed, but the gap between him and the Master of Li Hen Palace was simply too large.

Boom!
