Chapter 362: Hunting down Pang Ban, a battle of wits...
With cultivation at Li Ping's level, once he locks onto an enemy's aura, he can sense it even if they are tens or hundreds of miles away.
But just now, Pang Ban and the other three suddenly disappeared from his sight, and he couldn't even sense their aura anymore.
Concealing one's presence from him would be as difficult as climbing to heaven, but Pang Ban and the other three managed to do it.
This is most likely a supernatural power!
However, Li Ping still managed to discover Pang Ban and his group, not through his own efforts, but through Hua Zhenzhen's "eyes".
Li Ping's "eye" is a fat pigeon, which Li Ping calls Little Fatty. It can't fly at all in this kind of weather.
Hua Zhenzhen's "eyes" are those of an eagle, which can still fly and see the enemy even in this kind of weather.
Even more fortunately, the rainstorm came and went quickly, and the rain has now subsided.
Li Ping turned to Hua Zhenzhen and said, "Zhenzhen, you don't need to come with me. Go search the Divine Palace!"
Hua Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of them."
Li Ping laughed and said, "I know you're not afraid, but I can handle a few small fry by myself. How could I trouble our Sect Leader Hua to come all this way?"
Hua Zhenzhen clenched her fists. She knew that she couldn't keep up with Li Ping at all, and that being by Li Ping's side would only be a burden.
Why am I so weak?!
Despite having awakened supernatural powers and advanced to the Innate Realm, he still couldn't help Li Ping or stop these evil people from beyond the Great Wall!
But she was a person who knew what was important, and said, "Then be careful..."
Li Ping patted his chest: "Those I should be careful of have always been my enemies."
The next moment, he flew to the treetop, tucked "Little Fatty" into his arms, and chased after him.
Meanwhile, within the Heart Network, the members of the Flowing Light Memory Court were still discussing what Pang Ban's supernatural power was.
Before leaving, Lang Fanyun secretly conveyed his conjecture about Pang Ban's supernatural powers to Li Ping and Hua Zhenzhen, who then told the others through the Mind Network.
Chu Liuxiang: "It's certain that Pang Ban used his supernatural powers three times just now."
"The first time, Lang Fanyun tried to leap into the Yangtze River, but found that he hadn't moved at all, which led to him being injured by Pang Ban and the other two..."
"The second time, Hua Zhenzhen used her protective divine power to bless Lang Fanyun, but it was completely ineffective..."
"The third time, Li Ping attacked Nian Liandan with Heavenly Thunder and deflected Pang Ban's attack with Tai Xu Transformation, but it was as if nothing had happened..."
Li Ping said, "There was a fourth time. Pang Ban and the other three disappeared from my sight, and their auras vanished from my perception..."
"But the real 'eye' can see..."
"It's certain that whatever Pang Ban's supernatural power is, it has limitations in its range!"
"Both Lang and I think his supernatural power is likely to be 'modifying reality,' but his modification of reality is not that outrageous."
"For example, he can't directly 'change' me and Brother Lang into ordinary people."
"For example, he can't directly alter reality and kill us on the spot..."
Qin Mengyao: "The Demon Master 'disappeared' every time he used his supernatural powers, so can he directly erase things that have already happened?"
Lu Xiaofeng: "Every single thing that disappeared was detrimental to Pang Ban. Could it be that his supernatural power is to erase realities that are unfavorable to him?"
"Then how are we supposed to fight?"
Qiao Feng: "Pang Ban couldn't possibly use such a miraculous power indefinitely, otherwise he wouldn't have only used it a few times!"
Li Ping thought so too; this thing looks just like Izanagi from the Sharingan!
That's outrageous...
However, whether this is the truth is still uncertain!
……
Pang Ban and his three companions ran away quickly.
Bi Xuan, who had been silent until now, finally spoke: "The Undying Divine Power, the Void Transformation that reflects all attacks, and the Mind-Body Divine Power that connects to the soul... Just how many divine powers does Li Ping possess?"
Pang Ban shook his head and said, "There can only be one supernatural power, but it is normal to develop several uses for one supernatural power."
"If we can find the commonalities in his supernatural abilities, we will know what the true nature of his supernatural abilities is."
Bi Xuan frowned: "But immortality, the ability to deflect all attacks, and the ability to connect with the mind... what do these have in common?"
"Could it be that he can 'reflect' his own injuries, thus granting him immortality!?"
Nian Liandan stared in disbelief: "How can injuries rebound? Even if it's a supernatural power, this is too outrageous!"
Bi Xuan said calmly, "Shi Zhixuan's previous supernatural power was similar to this; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape from the Demon Master!"
Pang Ban sighed inwardly.
Li Ping was right. Nian Liandan's mental cultivation was the weakest among the four of them, and her mind was very rigid.
No wonder his "lightness and heaviness" supernatural power was so strong, yet he could never unleash its full potential.
Pang Ban shook his head: "Elder Bi, don't let supernatural powers blind you. Think carefully, when Li Ping fought us, didn't you feel how vigorous his life force was?"
"His immortality must come from the vitality within him that far exceeds the limits of human beings."
"In the letter Zhao Deyan sent back earlier, he said that when he and Li Ping entered the Time Fragment, there were immortal divine beasts there. If you ate their true essence, you could live forever..."
"Li Ping's supernatural powers may not have originated here, but it's possible that he consumed some rare and precious treasure in other fragments of time, thus gaining immortality!"
"Li Ping's supernatural powers may not have originated here, but it's possible that he consumed some rare and precious treasure in other fragments of time, thus gaining immortality!"
"His technique bears traces of the Heavenly Demon Yin Condensation Technique, but it's too fast—unreasonably fast!"
"Therefore, the Great Void Transformation and his extreme speed are his true supernatural powers!"
"As for the connection of minds, perhaps it's not his supernatural power, but rather the supernatural power of one of his friends?"
Suddenly, Pang Ban's ears twitched.
"Li Ping caught up? How is that possible?"
Chi Zunxin's Heavenly Hearing and Earthly Seeing technique allowed him to hear the sound of horses' hooves dozens of miles away, and Pang Ban was naturally even stronger than him.
Li Ping was moving so fast that the sound of him traveling through the rain was very clear.
Pang Ban was certain that Li Ping could no longer sense the aura of the four of them; the Dharma King's supernatural powers were very effective!
But how could he possibly find himself in this weather?
Could his supernatural powers be even more extraordinary than I imagined?
No, no, no...
Don't overthink it, and don't attribute everything to supernatural powers!
Under normal circumstances, excluding supernatural factors, to accomplish such a thing...
Pang Ban raised his head, his gaze piercing through the thinning rain curtain, and saw a hawk soaring in the rain.
"Wow, that's impressive! Taming birds of prey has always been one of the specialties of our nomadic peoples beyond the Great Wall, and Li Ping actually has this skill too!?"
Unfortunately, it flew too high, and even Pang Ban couldn't stop it.
He had learned Li Ping's technique of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and turning it into weapons during their fight.
This was actually dispensable to him; he could harness the power of heaven and earth for his own use, which was far more powerful than directly manipulating the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
Even if he learned this move, he still couldn't attack an eagle that high.
However, eagles are actually easy to deal with.
Pang Ban and his companions immediately vanished into the mountains and disappeared into the forest...
……
"Holy crap, Pang Ban and his gang found out?!"
"Oh dear, we've gone into the woods."
"How cunning..."
Li Ping looked at the woods ahead and laughed.
The rain had lessened by then.
That's how spring rain is in Sichuan and Chongqing—it comes quickly and goes quickly.
Then, a ball of fire appeared in Li Ping's hand, and he began to set the forest ablaze.
……
At the foot of the mountain, watching the raging fire.
Each of the four men, including Pang Ban, wore a simple straw hat woven from tree branches on their heads.
Eagles look down from above, so they can't see the four people. With their intelligence, eagles simply can't distinguish that these moving "trees" are people.
Subsequently, Pang Ban and his three companions jumped into the Yangtze River, swam underwater, and went upstream. With their skills, they could hold their breath for a very long time.
Pang Ban didn't believe it. With the Dharma King's supernatural powers helping them conceal their auras, how could Li Ping still track him down?!
After a long time, Pang Ban and his three companions finally reached the shore.
The four of them shuddered, their bodies now dry.
Pang Ban laughed heartily: "Li Ping is the first person to have forced us into such a sorry state. So this is what it feels like to flee. This feeling is so novel..."
"This is indeed a worthy opponent."
"However, he still can't track me down..."
Before he could finish speaking, Pang Ban looked up again and saw an eagle…
Another one!
