Book 15: Chapter 57

As soon as he gained his footing, Li Zizi heard a bronze cudgel and executioner broadsword slicing through the air towards his lower back and left hamstring. Although it wasnt a swift dodge, he did manage to get out of the way just in time. His foes possessed more strength than they needed to kill him, but they lacked the dexterity to catch him; they werent fast enough to even deal debilitating damage at his level. Howbeit, he couldnt go farther away because of Peng Caijis presence. The sunlight reflected off Peng Caijis blade hampered Li Zizis vision, while Peng Caiji himself would strike akin to a calculative snake.

Since Li Zizi couldnt control his pure yang true qi at will, Peng Caiji wouldnt miss an opportunity when the former overcommitted. Once that happened, Li Zizi wouldnt have any time to cycle his qi, and trying to accrue new pure yang true qi whilst dealing with Peng Caiji was too risky. Keeping up a defensive effort meant utilising true qi at a slow rate, which went against the nature of Pure Yang One Qi. As a consequence, he could feel himself burning up inside, which was a common symptom of qi deviation.

As he continued staying out of harms way, Li Zizi recalled Ming Feizhen mentioning his shifu managed to break weapons and drop people with just a tree branch as a young boy. Li Zizi believed that the true version of Pure Yang One Qi shouldve produced power output of that magnitude.

Shifu, I do not have a weapon.

The man eating a grilled drumstick under a tree responded, True Catch.

The strikes all looked mindless and somewhat clumsy, yet there was a sense of liberation. It was too late for Peng Caiji to regret his decision, however. It was too late to run now. He clenched his teeth and asked, Impressive discipline. Which sect is it from?

None. Li Zizi got into his stance.

Peng Caiji knew Li Zizi was trying to hide a secret, but he didnt know that Li Zizi wasnt trying to hide the sects name as the discipline didnt even exist two months ago. After all, the discipline was Ming Feizhens thoughtless mish-mash of ideas to entertain the boy. Ming Feizhen just went back to link up the disconnected parts to systemise it. It was a discipline created without much thought and taught without much thought. Thus, it was named, Mindless Twenty-five Techniques.
