I Have Infinite Systems In The Immortal World

48  Getting Beaten By Mu Qinglian

Long Ming stood silently as Xia Yuqing held the tree branch. " Four Seasons Grand Swordsplay isn't just a sword technique. It's the technique created by Four Seasons Heavenly Emperor, our founder."

" It's separated into two techniques, Four Seasons Sword Art and Four Season Flowing Qi Art. Each technique is further divided into four parts according to four seasons." Xia Yuqing explained.

" Each part can be used as a separate technique. However, when you merge all four parts, you will get the complete technique."

Xia Yuqing held the branch as her body moved. Long Ming's eyes narrowed as he felt a terrifying heat washing his face. The branch turned into a gigantic sword of flames as it cut forward.

The slash made its surrounding area combust into powerful flames as the flames soared to the sky.

" Robust and destructive, This is Scorching Summer Sword Art. It corresponds to the greater Yang energy."

Then, the flames vanished as the sharp wind blew. The branch into a blur as Xia Yuqing's stance changed.

 Unlike the powerful momentum of Scorching Summer Sword Art, the branch moved swiftly and precisely, using the wind to make deadly attacks.

" Swift and deadly, the Autumn Breeze Sword Art. It corresponds to the lesser Yin."

After that, the wind stopped and everything became calm and tranquil. Suddenly, Long Ming felt a sudden chill across his body as saw Xia Yuqing's movement became slow. Suddenly, that branch was covered with an icy blue light Long Ming felt he was going to turn into an icy statue.

*SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH*

Like a snowstorm, the branch moved as it covered the area with a snow blanket. However, Long Ming could feel that the snow was much deadlier than the branch itself.

" Covering everything in the domain of Winter, this is Desolate Winter Sword Art. It corresponds to Greater Yin."

Xia Yuqing paused as her sword moved. The snow melted as the atmosphere turned bright. The sword moved gracefully as the wind and flowers moved along with it.

Suddenly, the branch turned illusory as countless other branches appeared. No one can tell which is real or which is fake. However, all of them were deadly without any doubt.

The flow of the branch was smooth as it created an arc. The moment Xia Yuqing paused, the leaves and flowered around her sliced into many pieces.

" Spring Returning Sword Art. It's subtle, mysterious, and illusory. It depicts the Lesser Yang."

However, Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes flashed as he was surprised.

" I performed the Four Season Sword Art for you. How much have you learned?" Xia Qyung asked with a light voice.

" Before answering, I would like to ask a question, Master." Long Ming spoke. Xia Yuqing raised her brows as she looked at Long Ming. " What is it?"

" Unlike the other three sword arts, the Returning Spring Sword Art looked… Off. I mean, it wasn't impactful like the other three."

This time, Xia Yuqing's facial expression didn't remain calm. " You… You noticed?"

Long Ming bowed. " Master, I am someone who even comprehended the Ancestral Stone Tablet. Of course I was able to see that flaw, albeit Master did well to patch it up."

" Indeed." Xia Yuqing's eyes narrowed. " I spent years to patch up this flaw. Because, the original Returning Spring Sword Art was lost long ago."

" But then, Even if you have some sort of incredible comprehension, you could never see the flaw. So…"

" Are you going to tell me the truth or…"

Long Ming gave a wry smile. " Master, Must you be so suspicious of yur own disciple?"

" Disciples killing their Masters for benefit isn't unheard in this world." Xia Yuqing replied with a placid voice. Long Ming chuckled.

" I saw some glimpses of Four Seasons Sword Art and Four Seasons Flowing Qi Art in the Ancestral Tablet. Thus, I manage to detect the flew."

Xia Yuqing was surprised as her eyes widened. For the first time, Long Ming saw that big of a reaction in Xia Yuqing's face.

" Ancestral Tablet contained the Four Seasons Sword Art and Four Seasons Flowing Qi Art?!"

Long Ming chuckled. " I am sure. But, I didn't have that technique. But maybe, If I study the Ancestral Tablet some more, I might be able to comprehend it?"

It was a complete lie. He already got the complete technique from the Ancestral Stone Tablet. However, he could see the importance of that technique from Xia Yuqing's facial expression.

Long Ming decided to keep it as a bargaining chip for the future.

" This…Listen to me, Long Ming." Xia Yuqing's voice became serious. " No matter what, You must learn the Scorching Summer Imperial Art from the Ancestral Tablet."

" Why? Shouldn't the Returning Spring Sword Art corresponds to the Returning Spring Imperial Technique?" Long Ming became confused. Xia Yuqing shook her head.

" That's true. However, for me, The Scorching Summer Imperial Technique is much more important. Therefore, You must try your best to get that." Xia Yuqing spoke.

" If you manage to do that… I will let you pick any treasure or technique below the Imperial Grade from our treasury." Xia Yuqing spoke.

Long Ming was startled as he nodded. " Very well, I will try my best and won't disappoint Sect Master."

Xia Yuqing's gaze turned distant when Long Ming took his leave. She looked at her surrounding as a sigh left her mouth.

' If he gets the complete technique, I might be able to cure Yang Wei." She quietly mumbled in her heart as her expression returned to normal.

' This brat… Who exactly he is?'

Long Ming's Raging Storm Wings burst as he shot back to the Solitary Flower Peak. When he reached there, he was surprised.

" Oh my, My Junior Brother has returned. I hope the meeting with Master gone pleasantly?"

Long Ming felt a shiver through his body when he looked at Mu Qinglian. Although she was smiling, Long Ming could feel something was amiss. It was the same as a tiger wearing a mask of a cute cat.

Ming as her eyes narrowed. " Now, Do you understand what you will call me in future?"

11:41

" Yes, Senior Sister Mu." Long Ming hurriedly nodded. Xiao'er was standing meekly by the side as she " Junior brother?"

" Of course. You joined later than me. So, I am your Senior Sister." Mu QInglian walked toward Long Ming as her eyes narrowed. " Now, Do you understand what you will call me in future?"

" Yes, Senior Sister Mu." Long Ming hurriedly nodded. Xiao'er was standing meekly by the side as she watched everything. Long Ming looked at her as he took out paper and brush.

" Xiao'er, Go and get all these materiala from Sister Luo."

" Yes, Young Master." Xiao'er nodded as she hurried off. Seeing Xiao'er leaving, Mu Qinglian couldn't help but snort lightly.

" Having a cute and beautiful maid is sure fun, isn't it?"

Long Ming raised his eyebrows. " Indeed. Xiao'er is pretty helpful. She does her job perfectly."

Mu Qinglian laughed when she heard that. " Well, I guess I should also do my job properly."

" Your job?" Long Ming became confused. Mu Qinglian snorted. " You already got attacked twice and escaped death by a breadth of hair. As your Senior Sister, I am obliged to teach you about self defense."

Question marks appeared on Long Ming's head as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " Senior Sister, What do you want to say?"

" I am saying, I am going to train your battle techniques." Mu Qinglian chuckled. " I am going to seal my cultivation to the Peak stage of True Core Formation Realm."

" I am sure you are confident in beating me, right?"

Long Ming's eyes narrowed when he heard that. ' Peak stage of True Core Cormation Realm? I think I can defeat her.'

Long Ming nodded as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " Very well. I am ready."

Mu Qinglian's smile brightened when she heard that. " Good, I am starting then."

Suddenly, Long Ming saw Mu Qinglian vanish from her position as she appeared right beside him. In a blink of an eye, she closed the distance between them.

" Huh?!"

"

Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes flickered as he saw many illusory arms appear before Mu Qinglian as all of them fell on him. Using his Heavenly Revelation Eyes, Long Ming calculated the trajectory of the attack by using his Temporal Fate Simulation technique.

However, before he could move his body, Long Ming felt his body got stuck in that position.

" Scarlet Jade Battle Armor!"

*BOOM BOOM BOOM*

The palms landed on Long Ming's body as he got blown back. He crashed into the bush as he felt like he got hit by a truck. Even with his powerful Scarlet Jade Battle Armor couldn't fend off the attack completely.

However, Before he could move, Long Ming felt the ground quaking as a gigantic pillar rose from the earth and shot him toward the sky. Mu Qinglian's figure flashed as she made a hand seal.

" Lightning Binding Chains!"

" KHEUKK!"

Long Ming felt he got stuck in midair as his limbs got bounded by chains made of lightning.

" Arrgh!"

A wave of shock jolted his body as Long Ming shouted. After that, the chains vanished as he fell on the ground.

" The only reason you won against Shui Huan because you didn't let her use her true capabilities." Mu Qinglian walked toward Long Ming. " Your approach is more like an assassin, making a powerful attack at first and retreat if it didn't work."

" I am not saying it's anything bad. But, This won't help you in long term." Mu QInglian's tone became cold.

" There are countless treasures, techniques, physiques and talents that can easily kill you with just a puff from thier breath. I don't know how you managed to do it, but your power is still at Low stage of Golden Core Realm."

Long Ming gritted his teeth as he got up. For the first time, he got beaten back like that. Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as her grin widened.

" But dont' worry. I will make it sure that you will be a capable Junior Brother of mine."

Xiao'er returned almost after an hour. However when she arrived, she was shocked.

Long Ming was lying on the grass as his body was bruised. Although none of the wounds were lethal, he looked like a dog who got beaten and soaked in rain.

" Young Master!!"

Long Ming grunted as he clecnhed his fist. ' Mu Qinglian, I will return your favor very soon.'

As Mu Qinglian was returning, she couldn't help but rub her left shoulder. ' Hmph! Serves him right!'

' But to think he actually managed to land quite some hits on me.'

A smile appeared on Mu Qinglian's lips as she looked at the sky. She couldn't help but laugh.
