Naruto: The strongest fire style Blade Jakka!
Chapter 287 Unexpected Disaster 8
On a summer afternoon, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves onto the path, and the breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Xia Chan stands under the tree, his face flushed, his eyes burning with anger. He clenches his fists, his chest heaving violently with excitement.
"How can you say that!" Xia Chan's voice trembled with anger. "We children also have our own thoughts and feelings. You can't look down on us just because we are young!"
Li Yi stood aside, still with an indifferent expression on his face. He put his hands in his trouser pockets, and his eyes revealed a trace of disdain: "Humph, what does a kid know?"
Xia Chan's anger was instantly ignited by this sentence. He felt that he was completely ignored. He took a step forward, almost nose to nose with Li Yi: "How can you be so arrogant! Although we are young, we are also trying to understand this world, and we have our own dreams and pursuits!"
Li Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "Dream? Pursuit? What real dreams and pursuits can you little brats have? It's just a game of playing house."
Xia Chan was completely enraged by this sentence. He felt that his dignity was trampled upon. He raised his hand and wanted to slap Li Yi, but he finally held back. He knew that violence could not solve the problem.
"You are wrong!" Xia Chan's voice was firm and powerful. "Our dreams may seem insignificant to you, but we are working hard to achieve them. We learn knowledge, participate in various activities, and strive to improve our abilities, all for the purpose of becoming useful talents in the future. We are not like you, who think you are mature but are indifferent to other people's feelings."
Li Yi's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that the little boy could say such a thing. He began to re-examine Xia Chan in front of him and found that he had the same persistence and enthusiasm that he once had.
Seeing that Li Yi's expression had eased, Xia Chan continued, "Everyone has their own growth process, and we children are also constantly learning and improving. Please don't use your age and experience to measure our value and ability. We may be young, but we also have our own thoughts and souls."
Li Yi was silent for a moment, and he realized that his attitude just now was indeed a bit excessive. He looked at Xia Chan, and there was no longer disdain and indifference in his eyes, but more respect.
"I'm sorry." Li Yi's voice was low and sincere. "I apologize to you for my attitude just now. I ignored your feelings and efforts."
Xia Chan smiled, feeling Li Yi's sincerity: "It's okay. Actually, we don't need your approval, but we hope to be respected and understood."
Li Yi nodded, he understood what Xia Chan meant. He looked at Xia Chan, and a trace of emotion welled up in his heart: although this little boy is young, he has a maturity and determination beyond his age.
From that day on, Li Yi began to re-examine his relationship with the people around him. He no longer measured a person's value and ability by age and experience, but learned to respect everyone's feelings and efforts. Xia Chan also became more determined in his dreams and pursuits because of this experience. He knew that although he was young, he also had his own value and significance.
The summer sun was still shining brightly, and the breeze was blowing gently. Xia Chan and Li Yi stood under the tree, smiling at each other. Their figures looked particularly harmonious and beautiful under the sunlight.
In the vast desert of the Western Regions, the setting sun was like blood, dyeing the sky orange-red. Li Yi stood on a barren sand dune, staring ahead with a sharp gaze. His eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and expectation, because at this moment, he finally met the person he had heard of for a long time - Ouyang Feng.
Ouyang Feng stood in a snake cave not far away. The snakes were surging around him, but he stood like an isolated island, with a cold look on his face. His eyes were as deep as the night, as if he could see through people's hearts. He had long wanted to fight Li Yi, and today he finally got his wish.
"Li Yi, you are finally here." Ouyang Feng's voice was low and powerful, cutting through the hissing of the snakes and clearly reaching Li Yi's ears.
Li Yi smiled slightly and stepped forward, each step seemed steady and powerful. "Ouyang Feng, I have heard of your great name for a long time, and seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."
The two stood facing each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, as if even the air around them had frozen. The snakes around Ouyang Feng seemed to have sensed the tense atmosphere as well, and became even more restless.
"There is bound to be a battle between you and me." Ouyang Feng's tone carried an unquestionable firmness.
"That's right." Li Yi nodded in response, his eyes flashing with the desire to fight, "Let me see how powerful your snake formation is."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Feng waved his hands, and the snakes rushed towards Li Yi like a tide. Li Yi dodged the attack of a poisonous snake with a flash of his body, and then drew out the long sword at his waist. The sword light was like a thread, and he instantly cut several poisonous snakes into two parts.
Seeing this, Ouyang Feng raised his mouth slightly, waved his hands again, and the snakes' attack became more fierce. Li Yi relied on his superb swordsmanship and agility to shuttle freely among the snakes, like a dancing butterfly.
As the battle continued, Li Yi gradually discovered that these venomous snakes were not just wild beasts. They seemed to be controlled by Ouyang Feng, and their attack methods became more and more bizarre. Li Yi was secretly alert, knowing that he could not take it lightly.
Ouyang Feng looked at Li Yi's figure moving among the snakes with ease, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes, but his hands did not stop moving. He knew that if he wanted to defeat Li Yi, he had to use all his strength.
Suddenly, Ouyang Feng let out a long roar, and the snakes instantly quieted down, and then attacked Li Yi in a more orderly manner. Li Yi was startled, knowing that Ouyang Feng had used his trump card.
He took a deep breath and poured all his internal strength into the sword, which immediately emitted a dazzling light. Li Yi swung his sword and a powerful sword energy instantly cut a passage through the snakes.
Ouyang Feng saw this, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his composure. He knew that this battle had just begun.
The two had a thrilling duel in the snake cave, with sword energy and snake shadows intertwined, like a series of strange pictures. As time went by, both of them gradually felt the strength of the other, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in their hearts.
In the end, the duel ended in a draw. Li Yi and Ouyang Feng stood facing each other, both with a hint of fatigue on their faces, but excitement flashing in their eyes.
"Ouyang Feng, you are indeed a respectable opponent." Li Yi said.
"Same here." Ouyang Feng smiled slightly, "I hope I'll have a chance to fight you again in the future."
The two smiled at each other, then turned and left, leaving behind only the messy snake cave and the gradually fading afterglow of the setting sun.
Although this fateful encounter did not determine the winner, it allowed both of them to gain a rare respect and understanding. On the road of martial arts, they will both carry this experience and move forward.
Li Yi, a young knight who has become famous in the martial arts world, carries a long sword on his back and embarks on a journey to Dali Tianlong Temple with his infinite pursuit and admiration for martial arts. Tianlong Temple, an ancient temple located between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, is the place where the Southern Emperor Duan Zhixing retired, and it is also a mysterious place that people in the martial arts world yearn for. Li Yi's trip is not only to pay homage to this former martial arts master, but also to explore the martial arts secrets hidden in the dust of time.
Along the way, the mountains and rivers were magnificent, and the clouds and mists were lingering, as if every scene was telling an ancient story. Li Yi was full of expectations, as he knew that the four legendary figures in the martial arts world, the East Evil, the West Poison, the South Emperor, and the North Beggar, each had their own strengths, and the South Emperor Duan Zhixing was even more famous for his One Yang Finger, and his martial arts skills were unfathomable.
Entering the gate of Tianlong Temple, the ancient atmosphere hits you. The temple is filled with incense and the sound of bells and chimes is melodious, as if time has stopped. According to the rules of the martial arts world, Li Yi first announced his name and purpose outside the temple. Not long after, a young monk came out to lead the way and took him to the meditation room in the backyard.
In the Zen room, an old man with a gaunt face and kind eyes was sitting on a cushion with his eyes closed. Li Yi was startled, thinking that this was the Southern Emperor Duan Zhixing. He bowed respectfully and said, "I am Li Yi, a junior. I have long heard of the Southern Emperor's name. I have come to visit him and ask for martial arts lessons."
Duan Zhixing slowly opened his eyes, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Young man, why have you come here from afar?"
Li Yi did not dare to hide anything and told Duan Zhixing his original intention of visiting martial arts masters and seeking the true meaning of martial arts. After listening, Duan Zhixing nodded slightly: "There is nothing wrong with pursuing martial arts in the martial arts world, but remember that the way of martial arts is to cultivate your mind and cultivate your character, not to compete for superiority."
Li Yi humbly accepted the teaching and then asked about the secret of One Yang Finger. Duan Zhixing did not answer directly, but stood up and walked to the courtyard, pointed to an ancient pine tree and said: "Look at this pine tree, no matter it is windy, rainy or lightning, it always stands tall. The principle of One Yang Finger is the same, to overcome movement with stillness, to overcome hardness with softness, the key lies in inner firmness and peace."
Li Yi seemed to understand, but he had already realized something. Duan Zhixing saw this and said, "Although I have retired here, I have not forgotten the affairs of the martial arts world. Huang Yaoshi, the East Evil, is an expert in medicine and also proficient in Qimen Dunjia; Ouyang Feng, the West Poison, is the best in the world in Toad Kung Fu, but he has gone astray because of his evil intentions; Hong Qigong, the North Beggar, is a master of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but he always has a righteous heart. If you want to visit them one by one, you must be cautious and don't be fooled by appearances."
Li Yi wrote them down one by one, and his admiration for Duan Zhixing increased. He knew that this trip to Tianlong Temple not only allowed him to appreciate the mystery of the One Finger, but also made him understand the true meaning of martial arts.
After bidding farewell to Duan Zhixing, Li Yi set out on his journey home, his heart full of longing for the future. He knew that the road ahead was still long, but he was confident that with his own efforts and persistence, he would be able to go further on the road of martial arts.
The stories of these four legendary characters, East Evil, West Poison, South Emperor and North Beggar, will be circulated forever in the martial arts world, inspiring generation after generation of younger martial artists to constantly pursue the pinnacle of martial arts.
