Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

Therefore, Duan Hong acknowledges Yan Congke's current swordsmanship and swordsmanship attainments.

After all, Yan Congke was a swordsmanship genius. His decades of accumulation, when Meng Zhao gave him a single pointer, transformed his accumulated skills into a tremendous advantage, propelling him into the ranks of top masters. This was no exaggeration.

Over the years, Yan Congke has been the number one killer under Meng Zhao. Meng Zhao himself rarely takes action, and Duan Hong rarely does. Most of the killings are done by Yan Congke, which naturally fuels his sword aura and killing intent.

Yan Congke sighed, his gaze complex, and said,

"It's truly amazing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that such a master existed in the world."

To put it bluntly, I dare not presume to say whether Zheng Ge'er could match this man.

Upon hearing this, Duan Hong was greatly surprised and could hardly believe that Yan Congke had said such a thing.

Over the years, Yan Congke's martial arts skills have become increasingly advanced. However, most of his rapid progress in martial arts skills comes from the three secret sword techniques that Meng Zhao taught him. Therefore, Meng Zhao can be considered as half of his mentor.

Therefore, Yan Congke greatly admired Meng Zhao. In addition, he often sparred with Meng Zhao but never won, and he never even managed to force Meng Zhao to reveal his true strength. Naturally, he had great respect and admiration for Meng Zhao.

In Yan Congke's eyes, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Meng Zhao was the best in the world.

However, even such a person was somewhat unsure today whether Meng Zhao could be a match for that old monster, which was truly unbelievable to him.

Was that old guy's performance really that amazing?

Meng Zhao didn't have any particular thoughts. Over the years, his martial arts skills had become increasingly unfathomable. Yan Congke had never seen him use his full strength, so it was naturally difficult to compare the two.

Moreover, judging the strength of top masters based on their performance in a fight without actually fighting is a third-party perspective and is simply not accurate.

"Tell me, what are the characteristics of this expert who comes from royal family?"

Meng Zhao was very interested in this. To him, the emergence of such a master of martial arts was definitely a good thing, not a bad thing.

He had been studying the secret medicine martial arts system for a long time and was well aware of its limitations. In terms of extraordinary aspects, it was far inferior to the martial arts of the Central Plains.

However, there are always exceptions in this world. For example, the founder of the demonic path created the Three Elements Pill Method, which was an ingenious attempt within the secret medicine system. Moreover, it was a very successful attempt, and it has now become a major school within the secret medicine martial arts system.

Throughout the long course of history, there has never been a shortage of figures like the founders of the demonic path.

Meng Zhao's current focus is on integrating the wisdom of various schools of thought and taking the secret medicine martial arts system to the next level.

This is Meng Zhao's ambition and pursuit in the martial arts world.

If Meng Zhao can break through the trials in the future and inherit the imperial secrets left by that peerless god, he may be able to consolidate his foundation and become a god or demon in the future.

Yan Congke began to recall the existence of that royal expert.

From his perspective, this royal expert, with his white hair and beard, must be quite old, at least seventy or eighty.

However, with white hair and a youthful face, and delicate, tender skin, like that of a newborn baby, it was a sign that a top expert had defied his innate nature.

The "reversal of the innate" mentioned here does not refer to the innate state of martial arts in China, but rather to the innate state of a person, similar to the Taoist concept of focusing one's vital energy to achieve gentleness, resulting in a feeling akin to that of an infant. A person in their seventies or eighties possessing the skin and vitality of a youth demonstrates the profound and formidable skill they have acquired, undoubtedly a top-tier and powerful martial art.

Let's talk about its performance.

Facing a group of powerful experts led by the Great Dragon Head of the White Dragon Venerable Society, he was utterly insignificant and stepped forward to fight dozens of people head-on.

His fists, palms, fingers, and claws were integrated into one, making his moves invincible and unbreakable. At least according to Yan Congke's knowledge, he could not see through the weaknesses and flaws in his opponent's moves.

What's most terrifying is actually the special internal energy he cultivates.

According to the Great Dragon Head of the White Dragon Venerable Association, the old fellow was practicing the Imperial Dragon Qi, a skill that very few members of the royal family could master.

This powerful energy is extremely strong, firm, vast, and boundless, like the sun in the clear sky, capable of breaking through anything.

Wherever its imperial dragon aura passed, all weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds were broken and destroyed, and all internal martial arts cultivation, no matter how profound or exquisite, was swept away.

Take Yan Congke as an example. He did not directly confront this terrifying royal expert, but he secretly used sword energy to ambush him.

His sword energy was condensed and domineering, capable of cutting through gold and shattering iron with ease. However, when it touched the Emperor Dragon's Qi, it was instantly shattered, leaving him with no strength to fight back.

Yan Congke thus realized the old man's unparalleled skill, and quietly withdrew from the main battle formation, falling to the rear. Only then did he manage to escape quickly when the royal expert went on a killing spree, thus narrowly escaping with his life.

Otherwise, Yan Congke would have surely perished at the hands of that royal expert.

Upon hearing this, Duan Hong exclaimed that it was impossible and unbelievable. At least he didn't think that he, or even Meng Zhao, had such strength.

With Yan Congke's sword qi cultivation, how could he possibly be broken by a single piece of qi?

That's not all. According to Yan Congke, once the Imperial Dragon True Qi spreads out, it can transform into a dragon-shaped True Force that roams the void, just like a real dragon emerging from the sea, domineering and majestic, truly invincible.

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhao explained,

"It is said that this royal family expert cultivated thirty-three strands of Imperial Dragon True Qi, which is not surprising. The key is that he combined the thirty-three strands of Imperial Dragon True Qi into one and cultivated Imperial Dragon Gang Qi. Therefore, he is free from all taboos and impervious to all evil. Even if your sword qi is sharp and condensed, you are still no match for him. This is a qualitative difference."

Admittedly, Yan Congke mastered sword qi skills, forming a complete system within his own framework, and his martial arts reached the pinnacle of his time. However, there are still differences between the pinnacle and the pinnacle.

"If you wish to contend with that royal family expert, in my opinion, there are two paths."

Firstly, it follows the path of extreme sharpness, constantly tempering and thinning the sword energy. The sharp sword energy can cut through everything, and the Imperial Dragon Qi is no exception. However, in this way, your flesh and blood body will inevitably be unable to withstand it. You may be shattered into pieces by the sword energy before you have even reached the peak of your skill.

Secondly, he follows the same path as the Imperial Dragon True Qi, fusing multiple sword energies into one, where quantitative change leads to qualitative change, allowing him to compete with the royal family experts.

However, it is also very difficult. For a royal expert to cultivate thirty-three strands of Imperial Dragon True Qi, he must have exhausted the royal family's supplies, had a constant supply of secret medicines, and was himself a person with abundant talent, great courage, great perseverance, and great fortune.

Not to mention the final step, the method of dissolving internal energy, which is a life-or-death ordeal. If you can overcome it, you will have a bright future; if you can't, you will vanish into thin air. (End of Chapter)
