Chapter 23 Don't Underestimate the Power of Domination
If we trace the origin of Red Yang Blood Essence, it should be the Immortal Diagram. Therefore, the cultivation techniques derived from the Immortal Diagram, the Innate Heart Sutra of the World First, the Flying Swallow Technique of the End of the World Pavilion, and the Formless Skill of the Formless City can all produce Red Yang Blood Essence.
The man who came to them, Li Rong, the third leader of the Qinglong Society, perfectly embodied the gangster spirit of their organization. He was completely unreasonable and would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement upon meeting them. He also bore a striking resemblance to the original skin of Cao Cao from a certain mobile game, making Li Muyang feel intimidated whenever he looked at him.
He was terrified that the old man might suddenly pull out a large sword from somewhere and stab him! He even shouted: "Don't underestimate the power of the tyrant!"
At the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm, his Blood God Finger technique is incredibly advanced.
Unfortunately, it's fortunate that Li Rong doesn't know how to draw a greatsword, and he's facing Li Muyang, an unreasonable protagonist.
"Chief Li, it seems you still need to practice. Kato's Eagle Finger isn't strong enough!" Li Muyang was still holding a folding fan, well, he had changed to a new one, and he was evenly matched with Li Rong!
Li Rong was having an existential crisis! He could sense that Li Muyang's aura wasn't strong; it seemed he might not even have broken through to the Grandmaster realm! But how could this kid unleash such formidable combat power? His aura was far stronger than his own, a mid-stage Grandmaster!
He specializes in the Blood God Finger technique, while Li Muyang casually picks up a folding fan from the market and starts fighting him!
It's fair to say that he's already lost, because using a folding fan as a weapon completely limits Li Muyang's ability to perform! Even if Old Li were to fight Li Rong bare-handed, it would be more effective than if he had a folding fan added to his weapon!
The only effect of the folding fan was to prevent Li Muyang from using his full strength! He also had to be careful not to use too much force and break the fan! How could this not anger Li Rong, who had just boasted that he could defeat Li Muyang within three moves?
This is incredibly embarrassing!
Let alone within three moves, Li Rong felt that if things continued like this, he would probably be defeated by Li Muyang!
That's normal. How long has Li Muyang been cultivating internal energy? Only about a month. It's only because he had the foundation of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment that he was able to reach the peak of the Great Ascension Realm of a martial artist without any obstacles! His combat power mainly relies on vector manipulation and the support of spiritual energy within his body!
While others practice martial arts by cultivating internal energy, Li Muyang cultivates spiritual energy! Primal spiritual energy! He replaces the internal energy within his body with primal spiritual energy, traversing the entire Fengling Yuxiu martial arts system, and using the unparalleled Innate Heart Sutra, the highest-level heart technique, as an aid!
Now, Li Muyang originally thought that Li Rong would put some pressure on him to break through to the Grandmaster realm, but... Uncle, are you not up to the task?
"Alright, alright, you're not under any pressure!" Li Muyang repelled Li Rong with another folding fan, complaining somewhat unhappily, "I was thinking that being a mid-stage Grandmaster would put some pressure on me, to see if I could break through to Grandmaster, but I didn't expect you to be so incompetent, Uncle!"
“I…” Li Rong was speechless for a moment, his expression as if he had just eaten an Oli Gee.
I've completely lost face today. That old guy from Qiongwu Sword Pavilion is watching from not far away, and Hei Sha is nearby too! The Cui family's steward is also nearby... It's bad enough that I bullied the younger generation, but now I'm being humiliated!
As for the claim by his subordinates that Li Muyang is accompanied by a fox demon, that's utter nonsense! You must believe in martial arts! Spirits and monsters don't exist! Even if they did, they could still be defeated!
It's just a matter of being outmatched in skill! A slap in the face indeed! No big deal!
"Black Demon! Stop playing dead! This kid's tough!" Li Rong shouted.
"Hey, uncle, you're really shameless!" Li Muyang said casually when he saw that they were calling for help again. "How much does your Azure Dragon Society like two against one? You never learn!"
Hei Sha then approached Li Rong, looking displeased, and said, "Kid, I don't want to bully the weak or the few, but the mission is more important. Hand over the Red Sun Blood Essence, and I promise I won't make things difficult for you!"
"Of course, if you're confident enough to take on both of us at once, and want to use us as whetstones, then you can try!"
"Isn't that the same boatman from before?" Feng Ling'er, who was watching from the sidelines, whispered to Bai Yuxiu. Bai Yuxiu nodded in agreement, wondering in her heart if she had any way to deal with this situation.
After thinking it over for a long time, I sighed helplessly. There was nothing I could do; even running away was a problem!
"Brother Li, can you handle this?" Young Master Cui asked nervously.
"Don't worry, young master didn't use his full strength at all." Nan Ying, who knew Li Muyang fairly well among the group, was very clear that if Li Muyang were to get serious, a human wave tactic would be completely useless!
How could a legendary immortal be burdened by mortals?
In Nan Ying's eyes, Li Muyang's existence was not much different from that of an immortal.
That’s true.
"Come at me all at once, I hope you can help me break through!" Li Muyang snorted, his folding fan turning into powder (fan: Arminus!), and with a casual flick of his wrist, a sword appeared in his hand.
Li Rong and Hei Sha's expressions turned serious. This kid was serious! They had to attack together! They couldn't afford to lose two-on-one; that would be a huge embarrassment!
Seeing the two rushing towards him, Li Muyang calmly raised his sword and slashed through the air: "Demon, take this!"
"Whoosh!" x2
Li Rong [?_??]: ...
Black Demon [?_??]: ...
With a sliding kneel, the two men simultaneously knelt on one knee in front of Li Muyang, hands clasped together, mimicking the motion of catching a blade barehanded—their movements were so precise! Just like two and a half years of military training!
WC!
What are you two doing? Are you kidding me?!
The spectators were completely dumbfounded! What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?!
You two are big shots with some influence in the martial arts world! Why are you suddenly kneeling before a junior for no reason?
Little did they know, Li Rong and Hei Sha were equally embarrassed and filled with shame and indignation! They wanted to get up, but as long as Li Muyang didn't stop his attack, they could only kneel in the posture of catching a blade with their bare hands! They couldn't even mobilize their internal energy!
"Damn it! What kind of sorcery is this?!" Li Rong was now starting to believe his men! This young man was too strange! Abnormal!
Nan Ying burst out laughing: "Young Master... Hahahaha! No matter how many times I see this, I still want to laugh!"
The other three young men looked puzzled.
Li Muyang scratched his head with his free hand and explained, "Don't be nervous, both of you. This move of mine is a kind of sword intent. Since my profession is a doctor who saves lives, I don't like to cause too much bloodshed, so I only study one sword style! It doesn't have any destructive power. It just forces targets within range to catch a blade bare-handed! It's just controlling their movements!"
"The ultimate of the heart?!" Black Fiend exclaimed in shock, trying to justify himself. The real Black Fiend might not know, but he was a fake! Naturally, he understood a higher level of power!
"I suppose so!" Li Muyang nodded meaningfully.
"You haven't even broken through to the Grandmaster level! Yet you've comprehended the Ultimate Heart?!" Li Rong was completely stunned! This was too much of a blow! What kind of life had he lived?! He had barely managed to break through to the middle stage of the Grandmaster level with the help of the Red Sun Blood Essence, and now his future seemed hopeless.
This young man, so young, seemingly barely twenty, already possesses incredibly strong qi even before breaking through to the Grandmaster realm! Surpassing even him, a mid-stage Grandmaster! He has even comprehended a power that even a high-stage Grandmaster might not be able to grasp! A power that only those at the Ultimate Realm can comprehend even a fraction of!
"Shall we continue?" Li Muyang asked leisurely.
"Goodbye." The two said it very decisively.
Of course, they wouldn't be so cowardly. They still made some tough statements, after all, they were a respectable group. They said that the Azure Dragon Society would never forget this painful day.
"No... they're still grieving with me?" Li Muyang complained to Nan Ying and the other three in disbelief. If these two hadn't run away before they finished speaking and escaped his range, Li Muyang would have made them taste the feeling of catching a blade with their bare hands again!
Didn't you kneel for long enough just now?
We should have taken advantage of them kneeling and kicked them both! Let them experience the feeling of flying!
"Robbery at an inn! Failure is one thing, but now you're trying to shift the blame onto me? Are people in the martial arts world all so unreasonable?"
Nan Ying and Feng Ling'er, both experienced fox spirits, wore sly smiles, while Bai Yuxiu and Young Master Cui, two newbies in the martial world, were somewhat dissatisfied with Li Rong and Hei Sha's behavior before leaving! They lost but still acted self-righteously!
After venting to Bai Yuxiu and Young Master Cui for a bit, Li Muyang looked around and slowly said, "Gentlemen, since you're already here and haven't left, why don't you come out and talk things over?"
Qiongwu Sword Pavilion and his two disciples, along with Cui family steward Mo Er, also came to stand before them.
"Uncle Mo! What brings you here?" Upon seeing his butler, Young Master Cui immediately felt a bit nervous and embarrassed; he had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, as soon as Butler Mo arrived, he went straight to Young Master Cui and explained, "Oh dear, young master! I've been following you ever since you left, but I never expected this matter to escalate so much that even your father knows about it now. Come back with me quickly! Master has already returned!"
Young Master Cui looked at the group with concern. Butler Mo understood his young master's worries and said with a faint smile, "Gentlemen, the Azure Dragon Society has always been treacherous and cunning, and does not abide by the rules of the martial world. They will certainly not let this setback go unpunished. If the four of you are interested, you can come to my Cui residence to temporarily avoid trouble!"
"No, let's not cause any more trouble for the Cui family." Nan Ying said politely, "Young Master and I each take responsibility for our own actions. This trouble is something we brought upon ourselves, so we can't involve others."
Butler Mo remained as composed as a mountain: "Miss, there's no need to worry! My Cui family isn't afraid of the Green Dragon Society. Besides, you two have protected my young master for so long. I simply invite you both to our residence as guests..."
“Nan Ying, I would like to pay my respects to Master Cui,” Li Muyang suddenly said. “There are some things that need to be clarified.”
The people present were all taken aback. They all understood that Li Muyang was the backbone of the group, and if Li Muyang was going to visit the Cui residence, the others would definitely go with him.
But, are there some things...? Should we make them clear?
