Chapter 199 Three Calamities Manifest, Two Fists Cannot Defeat Four Hands
In the blink of an eye, Lü Qian's figure vanished from his spot, his afterimage flashing past the lightning dragon and electric snake, heading straight for Zhang Zhiwei on the opposite side.
Along the way, wind, thunder, and fire, mixed with afterimages, left dazzling traces in the void, demonstrating the power of the Three Calamities.
"Whoosh—"
With a flash of light and shadow, Lü Qian suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Zhiwei. He raised his right hand, gathering the power of the Three Calamities in his palm, and slashed fiercely downwards.
The swift and furious wind, like a spinning steel blade, hovered around my palm, its sharp aura threatening to shred flesh and bone.
The raging thunder and fire intertwined, and explosive power gathered in the palm of the hand, radiating an inescapable sense of destruction, as if it wanted to completely destroy a person's cultivation.
"Bang!"
Zhang Zhiwei did not avoid it. He looked at the manifestation of the three calamities of wind, thunder, and fire, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Let this humble Taoist priest experience the severity of these three calamities."
With a flick of his sleeve, lightning surged across his patched Taoist robe. He unleashed a powerful punch, causing the dragons and snakes coiled around him to converge.
In a flash of lightning, their fists and palms collided, and dazzling white lightning and crimson-gold flames suddenly exploded, sparks and lightning flying everywhere between them.
"Um?"
The next instant, Zhang Zhiwei suddenly frowned, turned around and took half a step back, withdrawing his fist as he spun and dodged Lü Qian's attack from above.
As the two passed each other, Lü Qian pressed his advantage, riding the surging waves in the void to thrust his leg towards Zhang Zhiwei's lower back.
Wind swirled around his legs, and the power of thunder and fire surged and intertwined, revealing a peculiar charm from the flickering lightning and flames.
"Bang!"
A sharp gust of wind came from behind. Zhang Zhiwei leaned forward and pressed his left palm back, pressing down on Lü Qian's leg.
"Um?"
As their hands and feet touched, Zhang Zhiwei's brow twitched, realizing it wasn't his imagination. He quickly rolled forward, creating distance between himself and Lü Qian.
"Fellow Daoist Lü, your Three Calamities are quite mysterious; I'm afraid they're mixed with human calamities as well."
After Zhang Zhiwei steadied himself, he turned his body with his feet and unleashed several dazzling bolts of lightning at Lü Qian, who was chasing closely behind him.
"Boom boom boom..."
During those two moves, he clearly felt his mind wavering, as if something had stirred it, and his usually calm heart was now rippled.
While retreating and fighting, Zhang Zhiwei focused his mind and silently recited the calming mantra, carefully sensing the wind, thunder, and fire emanating from Lü Qian's body, and detected an unusual aura within it.
This aura is both tangible and intangible, and its interplay of movement and stillness makes it all the more ordinary, like the most natural rhythm in nature.
But after several encounters, Zhang Zhiwei became increasingly certain that the mystery involved was likely influenced by Lü Qian.
"Ray is coming!"
With a flick of his sleeve and a command, a thick bolt of lightning suddenly erupted from the churning black clouds high above, striking down at Lü Qian opposite him.
"boom!"
Lu Qian's charging steps faltered, his body tilting to the side. The scorching lightning grazed the hem of his clothes before slamming him hard onto the ground, splashing up sparks like water droplets.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you have keen insight and a clear mind. Since it is one of the Three Calamities, it cannot be so simple."
The flashing lightning, carrying a consuming heat, rushed towards Lü Qian. His golden-red pupils shifted slightly, and with a powerful stomp, he rose into the air, crossing the lightning pool beneath his feet.
"You can dodge the lightning tribulation, but you can't dodge the wind and fire that come from within yourself."
Before he finished speaking, Lü Qian, who was in mid-air, swung his palm down at Zhang Zhiwei below. The raging wind whipped up the lightning and fire on his body, transforming it into a fierce, long dragon.
The three calamities are wind, fire, and thunder.
The lightning tribulation can be avoided in advance by realizing one's true nature, but the remaining wind and fire tribulations are tribulations caused by the cultivator himself, and cannot be avoided.
The fire calamity is a yin fire that ignites from the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot, rising straight up along the five internal organs and four limbs, burning all the way to the Niwan Palace.
The wind calamity is the Bifeng, which blows in through the fontanelle at the top of the head, rushes down through the six internal organs and nine orifices, and blows all the way to the depths of the bones and flesh.
These two calamities actually stem from the practitioner's turbid and unstable mind, which gives rise to fire and wind disasters.
Therefore, the fire originates from within oneself, and the wind also blows from within oneself. If one cannot understand one's own mind and nature, then one will naturally not be able to overcome it.
Lu Qian's current Samadhi Wind and Thunder technique uses his own three corpses as a catalyst, and then uses the power of wind and thunder to wrap up the Samadhi True Fire, thus arousing the mind of his opponent.
When the opponent's mind is unsettled and their spirit is clouded, the yin fire will spontaneously ignite and the bi wind will rise, thus becoming the three calamities.
Below the competition platform, some elders frowned, looking at Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Ruotong ahead. "Master, aren't these two juniors going a bit too far?"
After all, this is the Lu family's birthday banquet. Although the two are exchanging ideas and discussing the Dao, they should not be so heavy-handed at this moment.
If the three calamities arise, the cultivator can only overcome them on their own. If they cannot overcome them, they will become a useless person, and their cultivation will turn to ashes.
However, Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing smiled and waved his hand, "It's alright, Master Zuo and I are here watching over things, nothing will happen."
"Besides, my disciple is unruly. After this ordeal of the Three Calamities, I believe he will make some progress."
As he spoke, his gaze toward the two men grew increasingly satisfied, and he stroked his beard to hide the smile on his face.
Just as ordinary people cannot understand geniuses, how can a school of fish know how a true dragon changes and grows?
The path of cultivation is inherently defying the heavens. Some people's cultivation is mediocre, but that's just because the heavens don't even bother to look at them.
Only when someone truly defies the heavens and earth appears will the mysteries of the path of cultivation truly shine.
What are the manifestations of the Three Calamities? These are merely the tribulations that those who defy the heavens are destined to suffer.
Zuo Ruotong nodded in agreement. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the arena. The dazzling light shone on him and danced in his seemingly indifferent eye sockets.
"Everyone, there's no need to worry. Every action and every step you take is a form of spiritual practice."
"The circumstances and opportunities that arise are different for each person."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a thunderous explosion resounded across the field.
"Fellow Daoist Lü, I should thank you for helping me cleanse my Dao heart."
Suddenly, lightning flashed in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes, his bright, pale pupils resembling lightning bolts in the sky, carrying the majesty of the heavens.
"Then let's fight!"
As Lü Qian rode the waves of wind and thunder, the crimson-gold flames around him burned even hotter, illuminating the dark mist in half of the training ground with a clear light.
"Whoosh—"
The wind howled and thunder roared, and the brilliant flames flashed through the air before plunging down towards Zhang Zhiwei, like a blazing meteor falling.
"That's just how it is."
Zhang Zhiwei bent his knees to gather strength, and in the next instant, the earth and rocks beneath his feet crumbled and scattered, his figure transforming into a streak of lightning as he rushed towards Lü Qian.
The scene resembled fireworks, with continuous crackling and booming sounds, and dazzling brilliance flashing on the stage, which was about seven zhang wide, with sparks and lightning scattering in all directions.
"drink!"
The crimson-gold light in Lü Qian's eyes grew even brighter, turning his pale eyelashes and hair crimson, and the surrounding void seemed to echo with the sound of surging waves.
The force flowed and manifested, intertwining and swirling around Lü Qian, transforming into a pool of surging waves. These waves, carrying wind, thunder, and fire, roared and surged towards Zhang Zhiwei on the opposite side.
"My methods are a bit monotonous, consisting of only one or two thunderbolts for my purposes."
The pale lightning in Zhang Zhiwei's pupils flashed brightly, and the rising and falling lightning around him reflected the surrounding light, as if the heavens and earth were responding to his every move.
"Snap!"
Several bolts of lightning flashed and leaped out from the dark mist high in the sky, gathered around Zhang Zhiwei, and rushed towards Lü Qian as he moved.
"boom!"
The dazzling light, along with the billowing dust, obscured the figures of the two. The audience below the stage was somewhat nervous, but Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Ruotong, who were leading the group, laughed.
"What a clever move, two fists can't beat four hands."
The light flashed and disappeared in an instant. Amidst the dust and smoke, the waves swirled and the tide gradually surged out, suppressing and sweeping away the pervasive dust and ash.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this humble Daoist is slightly superior in martial arts."
Lu Qian's figure materialized, his fists clenched, colliding with Zhang Zhiwei's outstretched hands.
But two long, crimson-gold arms of lightning and fire appeared behind him.
At the other end of the long arm, two fists clenched and knocked the excited Zhang Zhiwei unconscious.
Lü Qian smiled and turned around, revealing his four arms to everyone.
