Chapter 33: Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves Technique (Part 1)

Dugu Baitian was secretly alarmed as he sensed that his opponent had practiced an extremely powerful cold yin skill. He felt as if countless flower petals and falling leaves were dancing before his eyes, accompanied by a faint floral fragrance and a chilling aura.

He quickly focused his mind and didn't dare to be careless. It wasn't an illusion, there were indeed flower petals fluttering in the air. The petals were crystal clear and radiant, and the falling leaves were dazzling. They were actually ice flowers and snow leaves, such a formidable skill that could create frost in June.

Dugu Baitian couldn't help but envy, thinking to himself: If I had such a skill, I would definitely sleep much more comfortably at night. It's a pity that this brat possesses such a skill, it would be wasted in his hands. If it were in my hands, I would definitely make good use of it.

The Divine technique would surely weep bitterly if it knew that someone was coveting it like this.

Dugu Baitian said, "Lu Feng, what kind of skill is this that can create frost in the summer?"

"Hmph, you're really ignorant. Haven't you heard of the Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves?" Lu Feng sneered.

"I can see the flying flowers and falling leaves, but how do you explain them" Dugu Baitian asked.

Lu Feng became furious, "Who on this continent doesn't know the origin of the Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves? Tuoba Tian, stop pretending to be ignorant."

Dugu Baitian said, "Do you not know that I, as an old man, have never ventured into the Jianghu? How would someone who has been secluded in the mountains all year round know about this skill?"

Lu Feng looked at him curiously and disdainfully said, "I wonder where this madman came from, not even knowing about the Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves technique. Turns out you're just a country bumpkin."

Xu Yun and Ma Long, who had both suffered losses at the hands of Dugu Baitian before, mocked him, "Country bumpkin, you're truly ignorant."

Dugu Baitian didn't pay any attention to their words and continued to ask, "Is this Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves technique really powerful?"

Lu Feng proudly said, "Of course! It is said that when the predecessor who created this skill achieved mastery and broke through the barriers two thousand years ago, flowers and leaves flew for ten miles around. With a casual wave of his hand, the sky shook, and a heavenly palace descended from the sky. Since then, the Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves technique has been renowned throughout the continent, known by everyone. However, the heart method was lost later on, and the fragmented technique that has been passed down is not as powerful as it used to be. It's original name should be Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves Divine technique. The heavenly skill of the Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves Divine technique has lost its "Divine"."

Dugu Baitian said, "A fragmented technique, how dare you show off to me!"

Lu Feng was furious. "What do you know, you mountain bumpkin? Even though the Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves technique is not as powerful as before, it is still a well-known martial art in the world today. You'll die for this."

Lu Feng flew over, his imposing aura even stronger than before. His snow-white palm shone brightly, and "flying flowers and falling leaves" fluttered around his body. It gave people an illusion, as if they were in the blooming season of winter.

The Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves was obviously a technique that could harm people. Dugu Baitian dared not be careless, and concentrated his mind to activate the Nine Turns technique. The imposing aura emanated from his body, and his fierce energy surged outwards. Everyone present felt this wild and overbearing energy, rising and contending against each other.

"Flying flowers and falling leaves" was blocked one meters away from Dugu Baitian's body, unable to move forward even a bit.

In a flash, Lu Feng came to his front. The crystal-clear jade palm and the white-jade-like cheeks were indescribably charming, with a cold smile at the corners of his mouth. Dugu Baitian was not afraid and punched out with his right fist.

"Bang!"

The two palms and fists collided firmly for the second time, still evenly matched as before, and both retreated three steps.

The ship shook violently, and the fierce energy spread outwards, causing Xu Yun and Ma Long to stand unsteadily and almost fall on the deck. Their faces turned pale. They thought that as long as the Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves technique was used, Dugu Baitian would not be able to escape. Even if he did not immediately lose, he would still be seriously injured. However, the reality was not as they had imagined. Their hearts were suddenly shaken. The sailors in the cabin were even more scared to death, never having seen such powerful martial arts before, and trembling in fear, they did not dare to come out.

Lu Feng said grimly, "Tuoba Tian, no wonder you are so arrogant, not even putting the Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves technique in your eyes. What kind of technique are you using?"

Dugu Baitian smiled and said, "Listen carefully. My divine skill is the Nine Turns divine technique, which is awe-inspiring, revered in the Jianghu, admired by all, invincible in the world, dominating the universe, and unparalleled in the heavens and the earth. Have you heard of it? It's often talked about like thunder and bright as the moon in the sky."

Lu Feng frowned and thought for a long time, but could not remember when the Nine Turns divine technique had ever appeared in the martial arts world. In theory, such a powerful martial art should not be unknown, but he couldn't recall when this technique had emerged.

"Tuoba Tian, stop spouting nonsense. Your martial arts are not the Nine Turns divine technique. Such a martial art could not possibly be unknown. Since you don't want to say, I won't force you."

Dugu Baitian said, "To tell you the truth, this martial art is a new technique I have created, but it is still in its infancy."

Lu Feng and Ma Long laughed heartily, and Xu Yun also shook with laughter.

After laughing for a long time, Xu Yun said, "You're really shameless, you long-haired freak. Just because you created such a martial art."

"What's wrong with me? Am I not handsome enough? I would never marry someone like you. Am I not tall enough? I see you and your fellow disciples like dwarves. Am I not smart enough? Dealing with you three is like dealing with monkeys."

The three of them were furious, but Ma Long couldn't adapt to Dugu Baitian's jumping thoughts, and foolishly asked, "Junior sister, he's not handsome at all, nowhere near as handsome as Senior brother; he's not tall either, about the same height as me; he's not..."

"Shut up," Lu Feng interrupted Ma Long, scared into silence.

"Talking won't do any good. Let's settle this with our skills and see who is stronger," Lu Feng said.

Dugu Baitian said, "It's about time. Come on, little brat."

Lu Feng was very angry at Dugu Baitian calling him "brat", and immediately activated his power to the extreme, using the Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves technique, with flowers and leaves fluttering in the sky within ten meters.

Xu Yun and Ma Long quickly moved away from a distance, and the sailors even ran from the upper deck to the lower deck.

Lu Feng held a folding fan in his left hand, which emitted a faint glow after being infused with the Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves technique, and his right palm was as translucent as white jade.

"Tuoba Tian, take my hit," he said.

Dugu Baitian suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness, as if it was midwinter in the scorching summer.

"Good, Overlord Divine Fist, take it," he said.

Their palms and fists collided, but the fan and the fist did not clash together.

Lu Feng's folding fan opened with a "swish" sound, slashing towards Dugu Baitian's throat like a broadsword. Dugu Baitian quickly shook his head and dodged to the side, but he was slightly slower, and a strand of his hair fell to the ground.

Xu Yun clapped and said, "Senior brother, you did great. Next time, cut off this long-haired ghost's head."

Ma Long also shouted, "Senior brother is truly formidable. Kill this brat quickly."

Lu Feng smiled, "Tuoba Tian, just admit defeat. As long as you kowtow to me three times, I won't hold what happened just now against you and spare your life."

Dugu Baitian took two steps back, silent and expressionless.

Ma Long yelled, "Brat, you're scared now. Come over here and kowtow to this master."

"Goddamn bullshit!" Dugu Baitian's eyes suddenly shot out a divine light. "The three of you listen carefully, today I must make the three of you kneel down and kowtow to me. You really made me angry, ah!" Dugu Baitian looked up to the sky and howled.

His clothes suddenly fluttered without wind, making a rustling sound. The surging qi emanated from him, spreading outwards from his center, causing the snowflakes and ice leaves in the air to roll back.

Xu Yun and Ma Long were extremely frightened and involuntarily stepped back.

Lu Feng was also greatly shocked. This type of person was the most terrifying, becoming more courageous as they were defeated, always fighting to the end as long as they had a breath. Looking at Dugu Baitian's majestic figure, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, as if facing a towering mountain.

Little did he know that he was intimidated by Dugu Baitian's Emperor-level divine sense. Although his strength was not inferior to Dugu Baitian, his mental cultivation was far behind, completely overwhelmed by the opponent's aura. He stood there motionless, because he felt that Dugu Baitian had no flaws in his whole body, like a giant, giving him a sense of awe.

Xu Yun and Ma Long also realized that something was wrong. Xu Yun shouted, "Senior brother, hold on, I'll go call Master." And he ran towards the cabin.

Dugu Baitian took a step forward with an immensely powerful momentum, and Lu Feng immediately stepped back three steps in quick succession. He felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, as the invisible pressure made it hard for him to breathe. He couldn't understand why in just an instant, this man's aura had risen to such a level.

As Dugu Baitian took another three big steps forward, the footsteps that fell on the ground were not very loud, but they sounded like muffled thunder in Lu Feng's ears. The first two steps felt like two iron hammers pounding on his heart, causing his mind to shake violently. When Dugu Baitian took his third step, Lu Feng could no longer bear it, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. As Dugu Baitian's third step landed, Lu Feng collapsed to the ground.

Ma Long was so scared that his soul seemed to leave his body, and his legs went weak as he immediately knelt on the ground. He tried to get up, but he couldn't no matter how hard he tried.

Dugu Baitian glanced disdainfully at him and ignored him. He closed his eyes and carefully felt everything that had just happened. This was the first time he had used his divine sense for attack, using his aura to oppress others and achieve victory without fighting. This undoubtedly marked a progress in his martial path, but the mental duel just now had indeed consumed a lot of his energy, and his mind was a bit dizzy. His current strength was only at the level of an ordinary top-notch expert, but just now, he had to support the powerful Emperor-level divine sense.

He calmed his inner breath for a moment, slowly opened his eyes, and saw an old taoist who is about in his fifties appearing in front of him.
