Chapter 139

Chapter 139 shocked the whole audience, the boxing master, the hidden dragon list!

“Hmm, am I seeing things? That kid could actually fight Senior Brother to this degree?”

“Senior Brother, even after unleashing his explosive secret technique, couldn’t suppress that kid?”

“Is this kid really just at the Bones and Muscles Realm?”

…

Every warrior watching Lu Qing battle the burly man could barely contain their shock.

Even now, under Lu Qing’s unleashing full force,

it was clear to everyone that Lu Qing’s cultivation was still at the Bones and Muscles Realm.

But precisely because of this, everyone was even more shocked.

They couldn’t imagine how Lu Qing, with his Bones and Muscles Realm cultivation, could hold his own against a martial arts Grandmaster with perfected internal organs.

If it were simply his high swordsmanship, it could be explained as Lu Qing’s incredible talent in the way of the sword, having already comprehended a realm far beyond that of ordinary swordsmen.

But cultivation is a real thing, and there’s no room for trickery.

Normally, no matter how strong a Bone and Muscle Realm cultivator might be, they could never hope to defeat a Grandmaster-level expert with perfected internal organs.

The difference in cultivation alone put them on a completely different level.

Yet, Lu Qing defied common sense, battling a martial arts Grandmaster to a level of even strength with his Bone and Muscle Realm cultivation.

This shocked and incomprehensible the warriors.

“It’s actually Blade Intent! Though only a rudimentary trace of Blade Intent, it’s enough to overpower Wang Cangyi’s swordsmanship. But what’s wrong with this young man’s body? How can he be so powerful, able to unleash his full potential for so long without weakening?”

Atop the city gate, a young man in plain clothes observed the battle below with a strange aura in his eyes.

He was secretly astonished.

He had never expected this young man, whom he had only met once, to possess such formidable martial arts talent. He

had actually comprehended Blade Intent at the Bone and Muscle Realm. Even a mere trace of Blade Intent was a formidable force.

What baffled him even more was Lu Qing’s unexpectedly formidable physique, capable of holding his own against the burly martial arts master for such a prolonged period.

Even true disciples from the top sects of Zhongzhou would struggle to achieve this feat.

Perhaps only descendants from those mystical lands could pull off such a feat.

The young man in plain clothes glanced to the side.

He saw Wang Cangyi’s face had already turned ashen, his gaze gloomy, and he couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

A chill sank in his heart, and he grew wary.

“Old Doctor, when did Brother Lu Qing become so formidable?”

Ma Gu asked, stuttering, from beside the ox cart.

He had always known Lu Qing was formidable, too powerful to be dismissed as a mere Bones and Muscles Realm cultivator.

Back in the Nameless Valley, he had once driven back a powerful Internal Organ Realm cultivator with a single strike.

But that was only because Lu Qing’s swordsmanship was so superior, and he had caught the opponent by surprise.

In a real fight, facing the explosive power of the Internal Organ Realm cultivator, he would still need to avoid their sharp edge.

It had only been a short time, and yet he was already able to fight a Grandmaster of Perfected Internal Organs head-on without losing.

This rate of strength growth was truly terrifying.

“I don’t know,” the old doctor shook his head. “I’ve never interfered with Ah Qing’s training, and I have no idea when he reached this level of strength.”

Wei Zi’an and Madam Wei,

standing by, were stunned. They could never have imagined that the usually affable Doctor Lu could engage in such terrifying

combat. Just as everyone was stunned by this unprecedented battle

, the clash between Lu Qing and the other man took another turn.

Clang! !!!

Their swords clashed once again.

However, this time, the two already battered swords could no longer withstand the combined force, shattering into pieces.

Only the hilt, still holding a fragment of the blade, remained.

“Not good!”

Ma Gu exclaimed in shock, about to throw his sword.

But Lu Qing and the burly man both tacitly tossed their handles aside.

Barehanded, they charged at each other.

“Come again!”

“Just what I want!”

The two, engrossed in their fight, were determined to engage in another fistfight.

Roar!

This time, it was Lu Qing who struck first.

His steps were like those of a dragon and a tiger, each stride shaking the solid ground beneath his feet.

The blood and qi within him pulsated, and a faint tiger roar emanated from him.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the burly man and delivered a punch.

The punch completely disrupted the surrounding airflow, sending a whistling sound.

The air around his fist, under the swift force of the punch, had no time to disperse. Layers of pressure and accumulation gathered, forming an explosive mass of air that blasted towards the burly man with immense force!

So powerful?!

Seeing Lu Qing’s powerful punch, the burly man’s eyes twitched.

He had assumed that without his sword, Lu Qing, unarmed, would be no match for him.

After all, he had cultivated for many years within the sect, possessing a wealth of skills. Besides his most renowned swordsmanship, he also possessed impressive boxing and kicking skills.

Even Third Junior Brother wouldn’t necessarily be able to defeat him in a duel.

Even as a teenager, Lu Qing possessed unparalleled talent in the art of swordsmanship, having already mastered the Grandmaster-level swordsmanship.

However, his boxing skills were undoubtedly inferior to his own.

But now, sensing the momentum of Lu Qing’s punch, the burly man knew he was wrong, utterly wrong.

Lu Qing’s boxing skills were surprisingly superior to his own!

However, by then, it was too late.

In a flash, Lu Qing’s fist reached him.

The burly man instinctively sensed that he couldn’t retreat.

If he did, Lu Qing would instantly seize the initiative.

With Lu Qing’s boxing prowess and his unstoppable momentum

, reclaiming the advantage would be a formidable task. He might even be defeated, unable to recover.

To

maintain his advantage, he had no choice but to fight head-on!

In a split second, the burly man made his own judgment.

Lu Qing’s strength was slightly inferior to his.

As long as he can withstand his offensive and wait for his momentum to wane, there will still be a chance to counterattack!

Moving his body freely and making a decision in his heart, the burly man lowered his horse stance and stood firmly in place, with his arms crossed, as if sealed, to meet Lu Qing’s fist.

Boom!!

Under the gaze of many warriors, Lu Qing’s tiger-like roar and continuous punches hit the burly man’s arms without any fancy moves.

The powerful force erupted in an instant, and the explosive energy directly distorted the surrounding atmosphere, making the figures of the two warring parties blurred.

Indistinctly, everyone saw that the burly man couldn’t help but take a step back under the power of Lu Qing’s fist.

But his fist frame was not broken up, and it was still firmly stuck there!

But this is far from over!

Seeing the burly man retreat, Lu Qing, taking advantage of the situation, took a step forward. With a tug at his foot, his shoe instantly cracked, and the ground, like a soft, sticky rice cake, buckled and deformed

under his feet. Power surged from the ground, harnessing this immense force, and with a roar like a tiger, Lu Qing launched another punch at the burly man.

The burly man had no choice but to take it.

BANG!

The impact of this punch, accompanied by an explosion of Qi, sent the burly man retreating another step.

Lu Qing ignored the blow, stepping forward again and delivering another punch. BANG,

BOOM, BOOM…

With each step the burly man took, Lu Qing stepped forward and unleashed another punch.

Finally, after his ninth punch, Lu Qing finally stood firm, ceasing his attack.

The burly man also stood still, maintaining his defensive stance.

By this time, steam was rising from both Lu Qing and the burly man, and a white mist was swirling around them.

It was the sweat vapor that rose from the body temperature, caused by the powerful circulation of Qi and blood.

The surrounding ground was a mess, full of potholes and no longer smooth.

“What kind of boxing is this?”

Suddenly, the burly man asked.

“Fierce Tiger Fist,” Lu Qing replied.

“Fierce Tiger Fist, what a good name! The momentum is as fierce as a fierce tiger, worthy of being a master-level boxing style!”

“I have no words to say that I was defeated by a boxing master like you.”

The burly man finished speaking, unable to contain his breath, a cloud of blood erupted from his mouth, his body falling backward.

Under Lu Qing’s relentless barrage, his entire Qi and blood had been shattered.

His internal organs were severely damaged, and he could no longer fight.

Lu Qing looked at the fallen man and turned to leave.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to finish him off, but after the intense battle, his strength was almost gone.

And from the moment the burly man was defeated, he sensed a faint murderous intent lingering around him.

It was a warning from Wang Cangyi.

He was certain that if he dared to kill the burly man, Wang Cangyi would attack him recklessly.

He didn’t know if he could kill him then,

but the situation was bound to get out of hand.

No one could predict what an innate realm cultivator, once deranged, would do.

Wow!

Seeing the burly man fall, Lu Qing turned and left.

All the warriors watching the battle could no longer suppress their shock, their hearts boiling with emotion.

“I’m not dreaming, am I? That young man actually defeated a martial arts master?”

“A Muscle and Bone Realm master defeated a Perfect Internal Organ Realm master. Is such a thing really possible?”

“That young man’s boxing skills are so formidable?”

Numerous warriors stared at the scene in disbelief, wondering if they were dreaming.

As for the disciples of the Tiancang Sect, they were all in utter dismay, barely daring to believe their eyes. “Big Brother, defeated?”

“This young man, this young man…”

The County Lord on the city wall gazed at Lu Qing’s figure, trying to find words.

But his mouth trembled for a long time, unable to find the words to express the shock he felt.

Even the young man in plain clothes gaped slightly, a bit lost in composure.

After a moment, he let out a long sigh.

“It’s true that young men are heroes. This young man is worthy of being on the Hidden Dragon List.”

“What, Zhirui, you said he can be on the Hidden Dragon List?” The County Lord was astonished.

“What? You think he’s not worthy?” the young man in plain clothes asked.

The County Lord glanced at the burly man lying on the ground and immediately realized what was happening.

“Indeed, with his Bone and Muscle Realm cultivation, he defeated a martial arts master who had reached perfection in the Internal Organs Realm head-on.

With such a record, it would be ridiculous if he still couldn’t make it onto the Hidden Dragon List.” Wang Cangyi, who was already sullen, grew even grimmer upon hearing the exchange.

“Why, Lord Zhirui, is he planning to put this man on the Hidden Dragon List?”

“Whether he makes it onto the Hidden Dragon List isn’t up to me, but I will report the details of this battle to Tianji Tower headquarters. Whether this young man is worthy of being on the Hidden Dragon List will be determined by headquarters,” the commoner-clothed youth said with a smile.

But Wang Cangyi’s expression only grew uglier upon hearing this.

Once the commoner-clothed youth reported the battle to Tianji Tower, everyone in the world would know that his disciple, Wang Cangyi, had been defeated by a little-known Bone and Muscle Realm kid.

Even more problematic, if that kid made it onto the Hidden Dragon List, many of the world’s most powerful sects would likely extend olive branches to him.

Then, regaining his dignity would be even more difficult.

Killing intent crept up within Wang Cangyi once again.

But he glanced at the calm expression of the young man in plain clothes and ultimately suppressed it.

Yet, in his heart, a desire for the Wei family’s treasure welled up again.

If he could obtain that treasure, and eventually break through to the realm beyond the Xiantian, why would he need to fear this tiny Tianji Tower and endure its suffocation?

Anyone who dared to displease him would be killed!

Not to mention this humble disciple, even the Tower Master could be crushed to death with a single step!

With this thought, Wang Cangyi’s heart hardened once again. No matter the cost, he must seize the Wei family’s treasure.

“Big Brother, Big Brother!”

The Tiancang Sect disciples rushed to the burly man, checking his injuries.

But the burly man simply looked up, gazing at the sky above.

He had been mistaken, thinking that if he could just outlast Lu Qing’s attacks, he could find a flaw and strike back.

He hadn’t expected Lu Qing’s aura to be so lingering.

He held on until the end, not because Lu Qing was exhausted, but because his secret technique had reached its limit, effectively shattering his vital energy.

What kind of monster was that young man? Even at the Muscle and Bone Realm, his enduring strength was even more exaggerated than that of someone at the Perfected Internal Organs Realm.

“Big Brother, are you alright? Don’t scare us!”

One Tiancang Sect disciple, on the verge of tears when the burly man didn’t respond,   suddenly said, his voice somewhat weak.

“I’m fine. Help me get back first,” the burly man   said. Immediately, a disciple stepped forward to help him up.   As they reached the city gate, they saw a jade bottle land in front of the burly man.   At the same time, a cold voice echoed from above: “Useless thing, take it!”   ”Master…”   The burly man, holding the jade bottle, felt a pang of shame.   As for the Tiancang Sect disciples standing nearby, they shuddered at the chill in the Second Elder’s voice and remained silent.   ”Brother!”   Unlike the Tiancang Sect disciples whose morale was low, Lu Qing was welcomed like a hero when he returned on the ox cart.

When Xiaoyan saw Lu Qing coming back, she immediately rushed over to him.

“How’s it going, brother, isn’t he very powerful?”

Lu Qing caught her and said with a smile.

“Powerful, very powerful, brother is the best!”

Xiaoyan nodded her little head like a chicken pecking at rice, her eyes full of little stars.

“Little Doctor Lu, you are so powerful!”

Wei Zian also looked at Lu Qing with admiration.

“Brother Lu Qing, you, you actually defeated a martial arts master?”

Ma Gu’s mouth trembled with excitement.

“I’m glad you’re back safely, I’m glad you’re back safely!”

Madam Wei was relieved and looked happy.

“Ah Qing, are you injured?” asked the old doctor.

“No, but my disciple’s physical strength is basically exhausted. From now on, I’m afraid it will depend on you, Master.” Lu Qing replied.

“It’s okay, you take a rest. I, an old man, can’t fight, but I should be able to protect you.”

Perhaps stimulated by his disciple’s previous battle, the old doctor became unusually heroic.

“Then it’s up to you, Master.”

Lu Qing nodded, pulled out a jade bottle, poured out a blood-replenishing and qi-tonifying pill, and swallowed it to restore his strength.

“Senior Wang, what are you going to do next? Are you still unwilling to give up?”

The commoner-clothed young man on the city wall said calmly.

“Give up? Haha, the word ‘give up’ doesn’t even exist in my vocabulary,” Wang Cangyi laughed. “Sir Zhirui, if you want me to give up, why not go and persuade Wei Shanhai? As long as he’s willing to hand over the things to me, I’ll leave.”

“It seems Senior Wang is determined not to give up?”

“Why should I? I still have dozens of disciples from the Tiancang Sect here. The guy over there is exhausted. With just one order from me, who can stop him?” The commoner-clothed young man   was speechless

. Yes, that’s what he was worried about.   If Wang Cangyi had the nerve to send his disciples to siege Lu Qing and the others, the old doctor would surely intervene.   But that would give Wang Cangyi a pretext for action.   This wasn’t within the city, and the binding force of the ban was greatly weakened.   Even if Wang Cangyi provokes a battle at the Xiantian level, as long as he does not deliberately slaughter ordinary warriors, it will be difficult to do anything to him even if the Holy Mountain is involved   . After all, this world is ultimately one where the strong are respected.   Even the Holy Mountain will not punish an Xiantian realm warrior for a small problem.   Just when the young man in plain clothes was secretly anxious, suddenly, his expression changed and he looked outside the city.   Wang Cangyi, who was standing aside, was even more surprised.   ”Hahaha, Wei Shanhai, you dare to leave the city?”   Before he finished speaking, Wang Cangyi’s figure had disappeared above the city gate.   The next moment, a terrifying Xiantian pressure descended from the heads of the warriors.   (End of this chapter)
