Chapter 149 Who Dares to Stop Me!
Clang—
A terrifying sword cry that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart suddenly erupted from the depths of the Jiang residence!
That sword intent carried a magnificent will to slay demons, uphold justice, and suppress eternal evil.
It's like divine punishment descending upon the mortal realm!
That terrifying and awe-inspiring power sent chills down one's spine even from miles away.
The Jiang residence was instantly in an uproar!
"They've started fighting! The atmosphere is terrifying!"
"This sword strike possesses power that only a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator could unleash. It seems the Jiang family made the first move!"
"Is this power intended to kill that genius?"
"Don't worry, Su Xingcheng is with that kid, he won't just stand by and do nothing."
Outside the Jiang residence, the various powerful forces and gamblers who had been waiting for news were all taken aback.
They hadn't expected that the Jiang family would be the first to act, which would give them ammunition to criticize them.
Some gamblers were devastated, having wagered large sums of money on Ye Li making the first move.
But soon, someone exclaimed in surprise, "No! This sword intent that annihilates everything—it's not from the Jiang family!"
"What do you mean?" someone asked with a puzzled look. "Could it be that Su Xingcheng made a move? That shouldn't be the case. If it were Dean Su, the power shouldn't be so weak, and Dean Su didn't use a sword."
"I saw that sword intent yesterday—right at the city gate!"
The speaker's face showed disbelief: "I once saw that sword strike that stretched for a hundred meters at the city gate, and that sword strike was just as powerful as the sword intent that remained from back then."
"There's no mistake, this sword intent and golden sword light, this sword strike from a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator, it was indeed Ye Li who struck!"
Several experts at the Acquired Realm secretly communicated and discovered astonishing facts, leaving each of them shocked.
They thought that the sword strike at the city gate was their limit.
But little did I know that this was far from the limit, but only the beginning.
The difference between the acquired perfection and the half-step innate is huge.
A person at the peak of the Acquired Realm is qualified to be the lord of a city, but the Great Xia Dynasty has a thousand cities. Each city has a person at the peak of the Acquired Realm, but not every city has a person at the half-step Innate Realm.
What kind of monster is this kid? He's so young yet he's cultivated to such a terrifying level.
Ye Li certainly had not cultivated to the so-called half-step innate level.
Currently, he is only hovering around 55 bone acupoints, and the quality and quantity of his true qi cannot even compare with that of the later stages of acquired beauty.
However—I have found a way to instantly unleash true energy.
Ye Li looked at Jiang Chengyu, whose bull's head he had severed with a single sword stroke, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
This sudden sword strike consumed a third of his internal energy!
This statement alone is enough to terrify other martial artists who have acquired their skills through training.
For ordinary martial artists, even with very little true energy, consuming just one percent of their true energy in a single sword strike is already astonishing.
Regardless of whether a sword technique could consume such terrifying amounts of internal energy, one-third of it is still possible.
Even the meridians in the body cannot withstand such an impact.
But Ye Li is different; his physique is hundreds of times stronger than that of an ordinary half-step perfection cultivator.
The physical body alone is enough to contend with the acquired perfection.
The resilience of his meridians far surpasses that of ordinary people; on the contrary, his internal energy cannot keep up with his physical strength.
The so-called half-step innate Qi gathering realm.
It involves compressing the body's abundant internal energy from a gaseous state to a liquid state, causing a surge in the total amount and purity of internal force, making the internal energy flow like a surging river with every move.
After Ye Li learned about the three realms of the half-step innate level from Zheng Tong, Zheng Zha's wisdom immediately came into play, and he developed his own unique method for gathering qi in a short period of time.
I have an idea!
If I compress my inner energy within my body and then condense it—
Does this mean I can increase the purity of my internal energy?
This move should be called—
Just now, Ye Li briefly captivated everyone's attention with the "Great Nirvana Mindscape".
Next, this sword strike at the half-step innate level was the result of Ye Li compressing and colliding his scattered true energy within his body until it reached its liquid state—
Following the method of circulating true qi in the "Nine Hells Demon-Slaying Sword," the condensed true qi was suddenly unleashed from the meridians.
Although it consumes a lot of energy, its power is also considerable.
Ye Li named this move:
【explode】!!!
Feeling his internal energy plummet by 30%, Ye Li reached into his clothes, grabbed ten Qi Gathering Pills, and shoved them into his mouth.
An ordinary martial artist must digest one of these at a time with all their might, otherwise their internal energy might damage their meridians.
But Ye Li was completely unaffected after taking ten pills.
Yes, Ye Li realized that he didn't seem to need to follow the conventional methods of his predecessors too closely; those rigid teachings only applied to ordinary people.
The next moment, a continuous stream of spiritual energy surged from the pill, replenishing Ye Li's depleted true energy.
Su Xingcheng stared at Ye Li in astonishment. This was completely different from what he had expected. You really don't even want to talk about it.
Moreover, when did this guy cultivate his strength to the Qi Gathering Realm? It's terrifying!
"Oh, isn't this my father-in-law? It's a pleasure to meet you. How do you find my gift?"
Inside the Jiang residence, Ye Li sneered and mocked Jiang Chengyu, saying, "I'm afraid from now on, your mother-in-law will be a widow. How tragic."
"You—you—you wretched creature—"
Jiang Chengyu felt the pain of steel needles piercing his lower body, which rendered him unable to move.
Because any movement caused a violent churning sensation below, and even speaking aggravated the pain.
Jiang Chengyu, enduring the pain, his face contorted like a ferocious demon, said, "I beg the Grand Elder! Elder Yan! Suppress this beast and repay the humiliation I have suffered tenfold!"
Seeing Jiang Chengyu's miserable state, the two were secretly alarmed and had long wanted to take action.
But after Ye Li swung his sword, Su Xingcheng, who had just discovered the treasure, had already stepped in front of Ye Li, blocking the two of them.
If the previous "perfect day after tomorrow" only made Su Xingcheng look at him with new eyes.
That powerful strike, fueled by concentrated energy, compelled him to protect Ye Li no matter what.
"Su Xingcheng, this boy has humiliated my Jiang family so severely. If you take action, you will be making an enemy of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion!"
Jiang Chengyu glared fiercely at Su Xingcheng. Just as Su Xingcheng was about to speak, Ye Li suddenly laughed and said, "Dean Su, you said yesterday that you would not take action."
"The dean is a man of his word, and Ye Li will certainly not make things difficult for you."
Su Xingcheng's expression shifted as he considered a possibility: "Could it be...?"
But Ye Li took a step forward, passing Su Xingcheng, his Cup Shadow Sword pointing diagonally at the ground.
The golden sword energy flickered erratically, its gaze like lightning, sweeping over the shocked and enraged Jiang Zhenyue and Yan Qinshang, as well as Jiang Chengyu, who was convulsing on the ground like a gourd of blood.
Finally, a clear voice, like a thunderclap, boomed across the deathly silent Jiang residence, echoing in all directions: "Today, I've come to take Jiang Xiyue away! Let's see who dares to stop me!"
The roar was deafening, like the cry of a dragon from the heavens, carrying a will to shatter everything, echoing wildly in the carved beams and painted rafters of the Jiang Mansion's courtyard, making countless glazed tiles rattle!
The roar spread, confirming all the speculation outside.
Inside the embroidered pavilion of the Jiang residence, Jiang Xiyue, who was immersed in cultivation, felt the overwhelming power and her face immediately lit up with joy.
Jiang Chengyu shouted hysterically, "Let's see who dares!"
Without him saying a word, after Ye Li surpassed Su Xingcheng's position, the two figures attacked almost simultaneously, bringing terrifying momentum as they approached Ye Li.
Yan Qinshang was the first to take the lead.
His cultivation technique, "Thunderous Instant Shadow Body," involves true energy wrapped in thunder.
During battle, one can use Thunderous True Qi to stimulate the bone orifices, and when attacking, one can channel fierce thunder into the enemy's body.
A blinding flash of lightning exploded!
Yan Qinshang's figure seemed to transform into a real thunderbolt, tearing through the air and emitting a deafening sonic boom!
Its speed was so fast that it left only a blurry afterimage in everyone's sight!
The right fist, imbued with destructive lightning true energy, struck straight at Ye Li's chest with immense force!
Bang—Boom!
The moment their fists collided was like two meteors crashing together!
A deafening roar was accompanied by a sudden, piercing energy ripple that spread outwards!
Centered on the two people, the ground beneath their feet shattered as easily as fragile tofu!
A huge crater with a diameter of more than ten meters was formed instantly, and a violent shockwave swept up dust and debris, which swept wildly in all directions!
How is this possible! Are this guy's fists made of iron?
Yan Qinshang's sinister smile froze instantly.
His body was tempered by the Thunder Technique, making him dozens of times stronger than someone who had reached the peak of body tempering.
With the amplification of true qi from the Qi Gathering Realm, its power is increased tenfold or even a hundredfold.
But at the moment of impact, Yan Qinshang felt his right fist strike the steel, and his right arm shuddered and felt sore.
In contrast, Ye Li's true energy was pierced by the electric current, and while his body surface flickered with electric light, he felt a slight tingling sensation, thinking it was just static electricity.
Haha, this condensed true energy is really useful!
A hint of joy flashed in Ye Li's eyes.
Compressing true qi into liquid and then strengthening the body consumes ten times the amount of energy compared to before.
However, the enhanced power after the amplification is twice that of the normal state.
After being strengthened, Ye Li's physical body was even able to engage in hand-to-hand combat with a beginner-level Transformation Realm expert.
As for the spiritual energy consumed?
There's plenty of Qi Gathering Pills!
The next moment, in the clash of their fists!
Jiang Zhenyue, the eldest elder of the Jiang family, suddenly swung his right arm, encompassing both Ye Li and Yan Qinshang at the same time.
The distance shrank in the next instant!
The distance between the two and Jiang Zhenyue was invisibly reduced by dozens of feet.
Yan Qinshang was startled: It was a sacrificial vessel!
As a guest of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, he had naturally heard of Jiang Zhenyue's biography.
This spatial teleportation is something that cannot be achieved by those at the acquired level.
In other words, it depends on the efficacy of the sacrificial vessels.
With its vast collection, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion naturally has no difficulty in acquiring an affix that perfectly complements Jiang Zhenyue's combat abilities.
Jiang Zhenyue remained expressionless, the steel gauntlet on his right arm bearing an engraving of an effect:
【Green·Reduced Gap】.
Its ability is that each time it is activated, it forcibly reduces the distance between the two sides by 1 unit within the next second.
100 m.
The rate of reduction cannot exceed half of its original speed.
In other words, if a person can only run 100 meters per second, then by frequently using distance-shortening techniques within one second, the maximum distance that can be reduced between the two people is 50 meters.
His own attribute is "Immovable as a mountain", so the smaller the range of his movements in battle, the stronger his defense.
In the world of martial arts, nothing is invincible, only fast is invincible.
The most vulnerable enemy to characters like Jiang Zhenyue are those with extremely fast movement speeds.
Pairing these gauntlets with your opponent allows you to maintain strong defense while keeping the distance between you and your enemy within a controllable range.
The moment it was unleashed, Ye Li and Yan Qinshang were immediately drawn into it.
Seeing the two closing the distance uncontrollably, Jiang Zhenyue suddenly swung his right arm out.
The Dharmakaya of Acala!
