Li Boyang sighed and said calmly, "Since things have come to this, let's have a fight and see who is better."
Since there was no way to change Zhang Junbao's mind, the only option was to fight Bai Langfei. He couldn't possibly give up on Zhang Junbao, as this concerned the Qi-training version of the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi.
"Brother Li, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
As soon as Li Boyang finished speaking, Bai Langfei's face turned very ugly, clearly not understanding why the other party had made such an unwise decision.
"No need for further words, make your move. If I win, I'll take my disciple, Snow Eagle, and Linglong Grass with me. If you win, my disciple is yours to do as you please."
Li Boyang was very clear that he and Bai Langfei could determine a winner, but not a life or death. Their strengths were not much different, and it would be difficult for them to kill each other. Therefore, he decided to define the nature of this battle first.
"Brother Li, do you really intend to become an enemy of Peach Blossom Island?"
"Make your move; there's no need for further words."
"If that's the case, then so be it. If you lose, I will take Zhang Junbao's life."

Chapter 134 Showdown with the Peach Blossom Island Master
As soon as Bai Langfei finished speaking, the figure sitting at the head of the hall disappeared.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the hall, causing the tables and chairs to creak and sway.
The next moment, dozens of palm shadows appeared out of thin air around Li Boyang. These palm shadows seemed to fall like peach blossoms in a howling wind, drifting slowly towards Li Boyang.
"The Falling Blossom Sword Palm of Peach Blossom Island is indeed as good as its reputation."
As soon as the palm shadows appeared, Li Boyang knew that this was the unique martial art of Peach Blossom Island, the Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm. Among the dozens of palm shadows that filled the sky, only a few were real, and the rest were all illusory. Bai Langfei's figure was hidden among them.
Suddenly, a sound like the clanging of metal and stone rang out.
Li Boyang stomped his foot and reached out with both hands, charging directly towards the countless palm prints in the sky.
No matter how the enemy changes, the Nine Yin Divine Claw is invincible.
The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle.
The sounds of clashing swords and falling peach blossoms mingled continuously.
"The island lord is truly amazing. This is the first time I've ever seen the island lord take action."
"I'm about the same. The battles between people at the Innate Realm are indeed beyond the comprehension of us ordinary mortals."
Although Bai Langfei is the island lord of Peach Blossom Island, very few people on the island have actually seen him fight; most of them are witnessing a battle between people at the Innate Realm for the first time.
"They're really courting death."
Seeing that his master and Bai Langfei were fighting, and that everyone else in the hall was crowding into the battle to get a closer look, Zhang Junbao muttered something to himself.
"Snow Eagle, we must leave here quickly, it's dangerous."
Upon seeing that his master had already started fighting with Bai Langfei, Zhang Junbao quickly spoke to Xueying.
He had seen his master fight before. If he didn't go crazy, it was fine, but once he did, he couldn't control his strength, and it was like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart.
There was no need for Zhang Junbao to remind them. As soon as Bai Langfei started fighting Li Boyang, Xueying grabbed Zhang Junbao and rushed out. Her master, Chi Bilie, was stronger than Li Boyang, and she had seen many battles between people at the Innate Realm, so she naturally knew to stay far away.
Fire Wolf behaved similarly to the other two. As soon as he saw his father make a move, he quickly ran away, not forgetting to remind the others as he left.
Unfortunately, they clearly took their good intentions for granted. A battle between people at the Innate Realm is a rare sight in one's lifetime, and since they had the chance today, they naturally had to watch it up close.
Within the battle, Li Boyang's figure was like a ghost, his speed as fast as lightning, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, so fast that he could not be detected by the naked eye.
Every time he strikes, the Nine Yin Divine Claw tears through the air, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold. If the opponent were not Bai Langfei, but a powerful expert in the Acquired Realm, they would probably be chilled to the bone and their hearts would be blown away with a single claw strike.
Bai Langfei was no weakling either. He used the Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm in combination with the Orchid Finger Finger Technique to strike repeatedly. Sometimes he used his fingers, sometimes his palm. When he made a move, he seemed nonchalant and unpredictable. However, once he made contact, every strike was powerful and fierce.
Bai Langfei did not use Peach Blossom Island's most famous Finger Flicking Skill, because the Finger Flicking Skill can only be used in long-range combat, and it is ineffective in close combat like this, just as Li Boyang did not use the Invisible Finger Force.
In a short time, the two had already exchanged dozens of blows.
Two palm prints appeared on Li Boyang's chest. This was because he failed to see through the true nature of the Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm during the battle and was tricked by Bai Langfei twice.
That's how the Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm works; it's hard to tell the real from the fake. Every time it's used, it's accompanied by eight afterimages, but only one of these afterimages is real. If you don't recognize it, you'll be hit.
Bai Langfei wasn't much better off. Just looking at his front, his clothes were flowing and his long hair was flying, giving him the air of a hermit master. It was as if the fierce battle with Li Boyang hadn't affected him at all.
But if you turn around, you can see that the clothes on the back are still not torn to shreds, and there are three long claw marks on the back, with traces of blood left in the claw marks.
The Nine Yin Divine Claw is not so easy to catch. When Li Boyang used the Snake Walk and Fox Flip, his figure was almost as fast as a ghost. Even Chi Bilie, who was a level higher than him, could not catch up with him, let alone Bai Langfei.
The three claw marks on Bai Langfei's back were because he was too fast and didn't have time to react. The Nine Yin Divine Claw was as hard as metal and stone, and one claw could destroy a person's head. If Bai Langfei hadn't been a master of the same level, those three claw marks would have already sent the other party to meet God.
Temporarily extricating himself from the battle, Li Boyang grimaced, feeling a slight pain in his chest. The martial arts of Peach Blossom Island were truly formidable.
However, after a brief exchange, Li Boyang discovered that Bai Langfei was at the same level as him, having reached the Qi Refining to Mist stage. The two were evenly matched, and the outcome would depend on their performance on the day.
Since mastering the Nine Yin Manual, the only battle Li Boyang had encountered was against Chi Bilie. However, in his opinion, that was not a battle, but being chased and beaten. His opponent was a level higher than him, and it would be too disadvantageous to fight head-on.
A fierce battle raged in Li Boyang's heart. Since learning the Nine Yin Manual, he had never unleashed his full combat power. An opponent like Bai Langfei, whose level was similar to his and whose experience was also superb, was undoubtedly the best whetstone.
With a long, satisfying roar, Li Boyang took a step and vanished from his original position, reappearing behind Bai Langfei in the next instant.
The two began their second round of fighting.
This round was even more intense than the last. Li Boyang, who had completely let go of his inhibitions, was like a madman. Every move he made was filled with an indomitable momentum. He did not control his surging innate true energy at all, and sharp energy bursts out in all directions.
