The arrival of the woman.
Made the courtyard glow, brightening considerably.
Lin Pingzhi was once again stunned. When he caught sight of the womanâs half-smiling eyes, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he hastily turned his head away.
Ding Ling, however, after a moment of amazement, remained calm and indifferent.
His acting skills were at full level, and at this moment, he subtly conveyed an air of supreme grandmaster, his gaze as calm as an ancient well when looking at the woman, no different from looking at any ordinary woman.
The woman seemed to be observed in such a manner for the first time and couldnât help being taken aback; this time, she appeared much more solemn, sizing up Ding Ling and exclaiming:
"In all the world, youâre the first person to disregard my allure!"
Ding Ling smiled slightly and said:
"I wouldnât say disregard, seeing you for the first time also brightened my eyes; you indeed are different from ordinary women."
"Is that so?"
The woman said ambiguously, folding her arms and looking at Ding Ling.
She was over seven feet tall, her stature not inferior to a heroic man, and with her graceful figure, from a distance she appeared to be tall and elegant, standing out prominently.
At this moment, she was looking into Ding Lingâs eyes.
Ding Lingâs eyes were deep and calm, like an unfathomable abyss staring at a mortal.
Her gaze was grand and majestic, like a stormy wave surging.
However, after a few moments of eye contact with Ding Ling, she seemed a bit overwhelmed, retreating two steps, her gaze slightly unnatural.
As if to disguise her awkwardness, she laughed aloud:
"As expected of the Void Shatterer, it seems I underestimated you before. Come."
She gestured:
"How about we exchange a few moves?"
"Can I refuse?"
Ding Ling raised an eyebrow.
"Of course."
The woman laughed and said:
"But itâs best not to. I traveled a thousand miles, rushing to this Mount Heng Territory, just to compete with you, to witness the pinnacle of Martial Dao, if you refuse. Wouldnât that make my trip in vain?"
"We didnât invite you here."
Lin Pingzhi couldnât help but retort.
"Indeed."
The woman was momentarily stunned and laughed:
"I came presumptuously. How about this."
She took out a secret manual from her bosom:
"This is the Wudang Sectâs Tai Chi Scripture. Itâs a secret manual personally written by Taoist Zhang Sanfeng in his later years! Itâs priceless."
She looked at Ding Ling, her eyes charming, as if speaking:
"As long as you can defeat me, Ding Ling, I will give you this Tai Chi Scripture."
"Oh?"
Ding Ling was moved.
If it really is the Tai Chi Scripture. It truly is a supreme treasure.
Itâs just...
How could the Tai Chi Scripture be in this womanâs hands?
Moreover, this is a transmission secret technique of the Wudang Sect.
Ding Ling recalled a story from the novel "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," and couldnât help but look deeply at the woman.
If heâs not mistaken.
The woman before him is likely Dongfang Bubai!
Besides the Wudang Sect, it seems only the Sun and Moon Divine Sect has the Tai Chi Scripture!
At least thatâs the case in this world.
And the Wudang Sect wouldnât gamble with such an inherited treasure.
There is only one possibility, the woman before him is from the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
And who in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect could casually use such a valuable treasure as a wager?
Itâs easy to guess this with a bit of thought.
Thinking of this.
Ding Lingâs heart tensed, becoming solemn.
He never expected.
To meet Dongfang Bubai so much earlier!
He originally planned to practice enough martial arts before competing with Dongfang Bubai, but unexpectedly, this person was so curious and traveled a thousand miles to see him, the Void Shatterer!
âNo doubt, itâs due to players exaggerating tremendously.â
Ding Ling thought:
âOnly players would boast to great extents. Besides, some players are my devoted fans, and theyâve personally witnessed my exploits in the Three Kingdoms World. If Dongfang Bubai inquired, they might indeed describe everything in vivid, exaggerated details.
Initially, Dongfang Bubai might not believe it.
But if three people say so.
If three hundred or three thousand people all say so.
She would definitely be skeptical, leading her to take action!
If not for this, how could I possibly encounter her here!â
Ding Ling was clear-minded.
After understanding the reasoning, he no longer hesitated and readily agreed:
"Alright! I can spar with you. I just donât know what wager I need to make?"
"You donât need to make any."
The woman laughed and said:
"I came looking for you. If you were looking for me, I might have required something from you. That would seem fair, donât you think?"
"..."
Ding Ling was speechless.
The woman before him, her eyes and brows radiated femininity; although her appearance was hidden, her voice, eyes, and figure were unparalleled, surpassing all ordinary women.
Such a beauty!
No matter how you look at it, she doesnât seem like a man who self-castrated to practice the Sunflower Manual!
The more Ding Ling observed the woman before him, the more he felt she was charming and exceedingly beautiful.
When he realized his thoughts.
Ding Ling broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself:
"Is the Sunflower Manual really so insidious? It almost captivated someone like me!"
Falling for a self-castrated man.
Itâs absolutely unacceptable for Ding Ling!
Coming to his senses.
He immediately dismissed all distracting thoughts, flipped his wrist, and launched the Heaven-Flipping Palm:
"Letâs compete in palm techniques, please instruct me."
"Alright."
The woman responded loudly:
"My name is Bai Wushuang. A wanderer of the Jianghu! Today, I will personally witness the Void Shattererâs skills. Watch your palm!"
As she finished speaking.
She struck a palm toward Ding Ling.
This palm strike seemed unremarkable at first, but upon closer inspection, the palm shadows were endless, and amidst her flying hands, white lotuses appeared to have been formed.
The white lotuses turned into raging waves, pressing toward Ding Lingâs chest following the palm shadows.
Ding Ling, unwilling to be outdone, similarly countered with a palm strike, aiming for her palm.
This strike encapsulated the essence of the Hundred and Eight Flipping Heaven Palm!
Along with the amplification from four breathing techniques, the power, physique, and agility displayed their might together.
This made the Heaven-Flipping Palm not only amazingly fast but also extremely aggressive, like thunder and lightning, each palm strike into the void made even the void seem to shudder.
As countless palm shadows descended, they seemed to transform into a massive mountain, pressing down on the lotus palm shadows produced by Bai Wushuang.
Boom!
Rumble!
The two engaged in a fast-paced battle.
Neither gaining the upper hand in speed, both reaching the utmost limit.
To others watching.
They could only see shadows moving rapidly across the void, and by the time they looked again, their hands were already striking heavily together.
Each and every clash.
Resounded with explosive sounds in the void!
Lin Pingzhi, being weak in martial arts, felt his eardrums about to be pierced by the explosive sound, and with a horrified expression, he retreated more than ten steps before deliberately turning away to watch from a distance.
Only watching from afar did it feel somewhat better.
