The period from December to January is destined to be the most difficult month in this world.

Whether it is Xie Xiaoyu, Qingqing, the heroes of the world, and the heads of various sects, they are all waiting for the arrival of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Ding Peng is about to fight Li Bufu on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, on the Lantern Festival. He ignored Bai Xiaolou's dissuasion and insisted on fighting with Li Bufu.

Everyone in the martial arts world wants to witness this battle.

Because after confessing that Xiaolou was defeated by Li Bufu, news came out that Xie Xiaofeng had fought with Li Bufu in the northwest desert. It is rumored that Xie Xiaofeng was defeated and left.

Therefore, Li Bufu is already recognized as the number one expert in the world.

After Ding Peng learned the swordsmanship, he returned to the world and never suffered a defeat!

Two peerless swordsman fight together, whoever wins will be the best in the world!

So in the next month, experts from all over the world gathered from all over the place, and the heroes who had watched the battle had not left, they lived nearby.

Ding Peng practices knife every day.

He must digest all the essence and experience of swordsmanship he gained when watching Li Bufu fight Bai Xiaolou, so that he can fight Li Bufu on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!

When Bai Xiaolou persuaded him not to go to a decisive battle, everyone thought he would be defeated.

Except for Ding Peng himself.

He believed that if the experience he gained from watching the battle could be sublimated in one fell swoop under tremendous pressure, he would be very likely to be able to crack Li Bufu's swordsmanship!

Because in that battle, Li Bufu used his sword skills very slowly and deliberately left Bai Xiaolou time and opportunity to break through, but his sword skills were also clearly seen by Ding Peng next to him.

Ding Peng has learned about Li Bufu’s sword!

This is the reason why he dared to persevere in this battle!

·········

In the first month of the year, Xie Xiaofeng also arrived.

He did not come to the battle on December 15th.

But on the 15th day of the first lunar month, he decided to come and watch the battle.

Because he was also very curious, why Ding Peng was confident that he could crack Li Bufu's sword technique after Bai Xiaolou was defeated?

There is no doubt that Xie Xiaofeng also believes that Li Bushu has a chance of winning in this battle!

Almost Li is bound to win if he is not defeated.

The heroes will feel that Li is not defeated. That is just because Bai Xiaolou’s advice as a senior.

However, Xie Xiaofeng looked at it from the same height. He knew that Ding Peng's sword technique was not as magical as Li Bufu, and the "Divine Sword Slash" technique was not as perfect as Li Bufu's "Returning to the Snowy Night", so Ding Peng would be defeated.

What about Li Bufu?

What did Li Bufu think?

·········

Li Bufu didn't think about it.

Since he has practiced to the realm of God and Man, he has hardly considered victory or defeat.

Because he knew that even if he was defeated, no one could kill him.

Since it has nothing to do with life and death, it only focuses on swordsmanship, so why bother with victory and defeat?

"Everyone has the determination to win or lose. Sometimes it can help us improve our perseverance in practicing swords, but sometimes it will hinder the progress of the real 'sword art'."

Li Bufu taught Tong Huan this way.

Tong Huan didn't understand it very much.

Li Bufu continued: "I want to tell you a story."

Tong Huan held his ears and listened.

"A long time ago, there were two people, one was an old man and the other was a young man. Both of them learned swordsmanship. The old man was a senior, and the young man was a junior. The old man learned swordsmanship much longer than the young man."

Tong Huan nodded. Two people who were not special in this way were very common in the martial arts world.

"The old man is a senior, so young people often ask the elderly for some skills in using swords and learn from his sword skills."

Tong Huan nodded again.

"After young people learned swords for five years, their level is already very good. The two often practice sword skills together. Of course, young people ended up losing repeatedly."

Tong Huan also nodded.

Although he is a little stupid, this story is not complicated at all in his opinion and is very easy to understand.

"The young man lost repeatedly and naturally wanted to win, so he kept observing the old man's sword technique. After observing countless times, he finally found a flaw in the old man's sword technique!"

"The young man tried to break through this flaw, but he was always defended by the old man with superb combat experience. The young man did find the flaw, but his sword was not fast enough, so he could not attack this flaw!"

Tong Huan still nodded.

This principle is also very simple.

——Knowing the flaws does not mean you can defeat your opponent.

It was as if Li Bufu told Tong Huan that Xie Xiaodi's sword skills were mixed but not good at it, and they were more ruthless and not skillful, and where his sword skills were flawed, Tong Huan still couldn't defeat Xie Xiaodi, who was still in martial arts.

Because although Tong Huan knew where the flaw was, he could not "touch" that flaw.

Seeing that Tong Huan understood the principles of martial arts, Li Bufu continued to talk about it.

"The same is true for young people. His sword skills are almost a little bit, and he can use that flaw to break through the old man's sword. But it's just this little bit that has left him unsuccessful in half a month."

"When the young man couldn't help but tell the old man that there was this flaw in his sword technique, the old man held a refusal attitude. Because the old man felt from the heart that young man had been learning sword for five years, how could he be as good as me for thirty years? How could you be qualified to teach me?"

Tong Huan nodded and shook her head again.

"The old man refused what the young man said because there seemed to be a voice in his heart, saying: If he admitted that there is really this flaw in the sword technique, then he admitted that the young man could point out the flaw in his sword technique."

"And if you admit that you are behind this young man in the sword path."

"It's like admitting that his thirty years of hard work lost to a young man who only had five years of hard work."

"It's better than admitting that as an old man, he has been in a long life, but he is not as good as this young man."

Tong Huan suddenly asked, "He is unwilling to give up?"

Li Bufu said: "Of course the old man is unwilling to give up. The old man who wants face even feels that this is no less than being slapped in the face!"

"So the old man can only firmly refuse to admit that the young man can point out the flaws in his swordsmanship, and of course he will never admit that the flaws pointed out by the young man really exist."

Tong Huan said: "This...this...this is really not acknowledged?"

Li Bufu smiled and said, "Sometimes people lie to themselves, it is far more exaggerated, unreasonable, and ridiculous than others lie to you."

Tong Huan stopped talking, as if he was recalling the people and things he had encountered, those lies and truths, those deceptions and calmness.

After a long time, Li Bufu suddenly said, "Can you guess the ending of this story?"

Tong Huan thought for a while and replied: "After practicing hard for another year, the young man finally achieved success in his sword skills. He used that flaw to break through the old man's sword skills and defeated him!"

Li Bufu smiled and shook his head.

"Well, the ending you told is very good, but the ending of this story is not like this."

"What is that?"

The moonlight in the sky was bright, and it was all poured on Li Bufu. The moon seemed to be curious about the ending of this story.

"The second month, the old man met a gangster master on a trip to protect the darts. The master's strength was only equal to him. The two encountered each other in the dense forest, and they chased each other and fought for three days."

"In the end, the master of the underworld saw a flaw in the old man's sword technique, and used this flaw to attack each other, and finally killed the old man!"

"And the flaw here is exactly the trick that the young man pointed out to the old man and argued about before."

"Before the old man died, he realized that the flaw pointed out by the young man was real. If he had fought against the young man well, then the flaw could have been perfected and he would not have died halfway."

Li Bufu said: "This is the real ending of this story."

Tong Huan seemed to be shocked.

Li Bufu said: "Okay, you go and spread the news. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will celebrate my birthday."

Tong Huan remembered that Li Bufu also celebrated his birthday on the Lantern Festival last year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

He had a clear memory of his master's birthday.

But Tong Huan still asked hesitantly: "But...but...but Master, do you still have to show off against Ding Peng on that day? What should I do about this birthday?"

Li Bufu said: "The more grand the work, the better, and the more people the better. Haha, because my birthday is very important, you must have a good time."

"I will be thirty years old at this banquet. I am thirty years old... When your master's wife passed her thirty birthday, she was always worried about getting older in the future. Now I will also be 'old' with her."

Li Bufu brushed the moonlight on his body and walked away.
