Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 250: Not yet broken through, invincible among those in the same realm.

"No, she hasn't broken through to the Grandmaster realm!"

In the open space in the backyard, Yan Ri seemed to have sensed something, and his tone revealed a slight fluctuation.

There is a very clear distinction between a Grandmaster and a Great Grandmaster: a Great Grandmaster can mobilize a portion of the power of heaven and earth by utilizing the special state of unity between heaven and man.

Such methods are beyond the reach of even a Grandmaster. Although they are currently imprisoned by their opponent, they have not lost their senses. The "Colorless Heaven and Earth" technique that Xiaomeng used is essentially just a special domain formed by the expansion of her own internal energy.

Upon hearing this, another man in black in the crowd narrowed his eyes.

There is a huge gap in combat power between a Grandmaster and a Great Grandmaster. If the person in front of them has already become a Great Grandmaster, then no matter how they struggle, they have no chance of winning.

If the opponent is just a grandmaster, then these people might still have a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, upon hearing Yan Ri's words, the other party did not hesitate at all, and the Qi in his body began to rise against the trend, and his blood and Qi flowed in reverse.

In the world of martial arts, almost everyone has some hidden skills, or methods to fight to the death with their enemies.

These two top-tier assassins from the Luo Wang organization are both at the Grandmaster level, so they naturally possess such skills.

On a cliff several miles away, Honglian saw Qingxu remain silent with a strange look in his eyes and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Qingxu reached out and pinched his chin, saying softly, "The Luo Wang has indeed taken some action, but the situation seems a bit off."

She was only a Grandmaster, and a distance of several miles was beyond her reach. Therefore, she could only vaguely sense that a great battle had taken place in Sanhepu, but she knew nothing about the specifics of the situation.

Hearing Qingxu speak, she asked with some curiosity, "Why do you say that, Xiuyuan?"

Qingxu didn't turn around, continuing to look into the distance. Then he said, "Based on the information we have so far, there are only three Heaven-level experts in the Luo Wang: Yan Ri, Jing Ni, and Xuan Jian."

"These three have already fought with Gai Nie and Yan Ling Ji before. In fact, Yan Ri and Jing Ni used a secret technique before that, which greatly injured their vital energy. In such a short time, even Gai Nie has not fully recovered, so the possibility of them recovering their vital energy is almost zero."

"But among the people currently appearing in Sanhepu, there are indeed three Grandmaster-level experts, and the strength of these three far surpasses that of ordinary Grandmaster-level experts."

Upon hearing this, Honglian frowned.

The reason for Gai Nie's injury has now been investigated by Liu Sha. First, there was the incident at Canyue Valley, and then there was the siege by two top-tier experts from Luo Wang. This is absolutely true and there is no doubt about it.

Furthermore, the outcome was a lose-lose situation. Gai Nie is currently receiving treatment at Mirror Lake Medical Manor, and his injuries have not fully recovered. Judging from his condition, the two who attacked him in the Luo Wang organization should also not have fully recovered from their injuries.

In this situation, they are unlikely to make any further moves.

After a while, Honglian suddenly said, "Has Xiuyuan ever considered that there aren't only a few Grandmaster-level experts in the Luo Wang?"

“Yanri, Jingni, and Xuanjian are just code names. Each holder can be referred to by the code name. When the previous one dies, the next one will appear. With the empire’s vast power, it is not difficult to find a few Grandmasters from all over the world.”

"Furthermore, these individuals almost all wore masks, so no one knew their true identities."

Honglian's words were brief, but the meaning was already quite clear.

The Qin state unified the world and became the only state on this land. Compared to a martial arts organization, the power that a state could mobilize was probably dozens or even hundreds of times greater.

The Net is the empire's weapon, targeting the martial arts world. To it, there seems to be little difference between one Grandmaster-level combatant and ten Grandmaster-level combatants.

There are indeed not many veteran masters in the martial arts world, but don't forget that those young martial arts experts will not stay in the same place forever. They may break through at any time and become new masters.

Qingxu remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

The situation Honglian described does indeed exist, and the probability is quite high. This world is vast, and it's not that only those who have appeared exist. There are also people who have never appeared in another timeline. Do they really not exist?

Everyone has their own vision of the martial arts world, and everyone sees it differently. Take the two masters of the Ghost Valley School, for example: Gai Nie can see faith and perseverance, while Wei Zhuang only sees scheming and hypocrisy.

In the backyard of Sanhepu, Xiaomeng looked at the two people in front of her, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she snorted coldly.

"sucker Punch."

The man in black who had realized that Xiaomeng had not broken through to the next level suddenly looked up upon hearing this. He saw that the man's eyes were bloodshot and filled with ferocity and violence.

Looking at the sect leader of Tianzong in front of him, the other party gave a cold smile.

"sucker Punch??"

"I hope Master Xiaomeng will still say that later!!"

At the same time, the other man in black's aura surged wildly, and like his opponent, his momentum began to rise rapidly.

"Ridiculous."

Facing these two Grandmaster-level experts, Xiaomeng raised Qiuli in mid-air. After a clear and cold sword cry, the longsword emerged an inch from its sheath, and then an aura several times stronger than before surged into the sky from the young Tianzong Sect Leader.

The man in black was right; she hadn't broken through to the Grandmaster level yet. What allowed her to suppress them with the ability to use the color loss of heaven and earth wasn't her realm, but her internal energy cultivation. Taoist internal energy is known for its profound internal strength. Back then, Qingxu personally taught her, enabling her to further improve her cultivation of the two techniques, "Ten Thousand Rivers Autumn Water" and "Heart Like Still Water," and successfully integrate them. By chance, she also learned the advanced technique formed by Qingxu's fusion of the two techniques—"Supreme Goodness Like Water."

At this point, her internal energy cultivation had far exceeded the realm of Grandmaster. Even Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang of Ghost Valley were far inferior to her in terms of internal energy cultivation.

This is an advantage unique to Taoism, or rather, an advantage unique to her and Qingxu. Within the same realm, no one can rival their internal strength cultivation.

Sensing the fluctuation of internal energy, the two men's expressions darkened.

After Xiaomeng stopped concealing her inner strength, the Luo Wang assassins who had been struggling were crushed to death by the terrifying force that caused the world to lose its color, leaving only these two Grandmasters struggling to hold on.

"This level of internal energy cultivation."

"That's impossible. Even if you cultivated from the womb, your internal energy shouldn't be this strong."

As fellow Grandmasters, they had interacted with some veteran Grandmasters. While those people's internal strength was indeed much stronger than theirs, it was definitely not as exaggerated as this.

The internal strength that Xiaomeng is currently displaying gives them the feeling that two experts at the Innate Realm are fighting against a Grandmaster Realm expert.

This exaggerated difference made them think for a moment that they were imagining things.

"Is it strong?"

Xiaomeng raised her eyes and looked at the night sky. Compared with them, her internal strength was indeed very strong. Even compared with other Grandmasters, she was probably second to none.

But compared to that young man, her abilities seem insignificant. When he was at the Grandmaster level, he was able to defeat a Grandmaster, even if it meant crossing a whole realm.

For her, this kind of strength is what counts as true strength.

"A frog in a well cannot be told about the sea, for it is confined by its limited view. A summer insect cannot be told about ice, for it is bound by its limited season."

"Having never seen a higher sky, you all think this is the limit of the Grandmaster realm. Unfortunately, there is one person who can fight against a Grandmaster while still in the Grandmaster realm and even win." "The Luo Net thinks that with the Yin Yang School, they have no worries. It's really laughable. Geniuses can never be measured by common sense, and he is no exception."

At this moment, both of them had flushed red and were still frozen in mid-air, unable to move.

Upon hearing Xiaomeng's words, the image of a young man subconsciously surfaced in the minds of the two. Indeed, the Taoist Heavenly Sect had a young man of extraordinary talent.

That person and Xiaomeng came from the same school, both being disciples of Beimingzi, the Supreme Elder of the Taoist Heavenly Sect. However, that person has now become a Grandmaster and is famous throughout the world.

"A Grandmaster defeats a Great Grandmaster!"

If this is true, then this young Grandmaster of the Heavenly Sect is definitely not as simple as imagined. He was able to fight against a Grandmaster when he was already a Grandmaster. After entering the Grandmaster realm, his combat power must have increased significantly.

Compared to those veteran grandmasters, the opponent is probably not afraid at all, and may even be stronger.

"Qingxu~~"

In the Sanhepu, Qingze sheathed his longsword, looked at the two people lying on the ground, lifeless, and gently shook his head.

"No wonder some people like the martial arts world."

Mo Xuan cautiously walked over from a distance. When he saw the two corpses on the ground, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably twice.

The shopkeeper in front of us, who usually keeps a low profile, is surprisingly capable.

"The feeling of getting revenge is not bad."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Mo Xuan appeared wary. He was now certain that he was no match for Qing Ze. He relied on his movement techniques when fighting others, but once his movement techniques were used against the Tiandi Si Shi, he was like a toothless tiger, left to be slaughtered at will.

"Shopkeeper, are you a disciple of Taoism?"

Qingze glanced at Moxuan and shook his head helplessly.

Do you think Taoists would pass on their secret techniques to a stranger?

"Also, you don't think Qingze was just a random name, do you?"

In their generation, the Taoists used the character "Qing" in their names. Later, after discussing with Qingxu, they came up with the name "Qingze".

Mo Xuan smiled awkwardly, realizing that it was indeed true.

"Shopkeeper, you've hidden something quite well!"

Just then, the two seemed to realize something and looked towards the backyard at the same time. Compared to this place, the situation in the backyard was even more tense.

After all, there are two experts over there who are far beyond the ordinary Grandmaster level.

"Is it Master Xiaomeng?"

Mo Xuan frowned. He had not personally tested the strength of this master from the Daoist Heavenly Sect, but judging from the information given by Ni Chang and Yan Ling Ji, the master was extremely talented. In the seven years since Qing Xu returned to the mountain, his strength had improved significantly, leaving everyone else far behind.

"That ice-cold face!"

Qingze stood there for a moment, then muttered something to himself before turning and walking towards the recliner.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan was both amused and exasperated.

Xiaomeng does not like to smile, but that doesn't mean she can't smile. When she is with Qingxu, she always behaves well.

However, there's one more thing.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Xuan asked, "Shopkeeper, has Master Xiaomeng's strength really reached this level?"

Qingze took a book and covered his face with it, then slowly said, "The Grandmaster realm is a threshold for most people, but for some, it's just a stepping stone."

“Xiaomeng has exceptional talent, which is why Beimingzi made an exception and accepted her as a disciple. On Mount Taiyi today, there are probably only two people who can reliably defeat her.”

His immense internal energy cultivation gave him the confidence to handle the girl with ease.

"Master Beimingzi and Master Qingxu?"

Mo Xuan leaned against the wall and looked up toward the backyard, where the battle was far more intense than here.

Those two top-tier assassins from the Luo Wang organization also possessed various secret techniques. In the second round of qi cultivation, their aura had already reached the level of a late-stage Grandmaster.

But she is still frozen in place by that person, which shows just how strong Master Xiaomeng's internal energy cultivation is.

"Is the Net really here for us?"

Suddenly, Mo Xuan asked a question, and Qing Ze shook his head.

"They have legs under their feet, so they can do whatever they want. We're only responsible for this room; as for the rest, let others handle it!"

Outside the cliff, Qingxu glanced in another direction and saw a faint aura flash by. Although it was very faint, it had definitely appeared.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?"

"Or are they just taking advantage of the chaos?"

Qingxu then grabbed Honglian's small hand and once again rode the wind through the air, leaving Honglian somewhat surprised.

"Xiuyuan, where are we going?"

The young man seemed to sense something, and his eyes turned cold.

"Cape, but we're not the only two visiting Cape tonight!"

Upon hearing this, a strange look appeared in Honglian's eyes. A clever person can glean the answers they seek from just a few words from another person.

"Does Xiuyuan mean that Sanhepu is just a front, and their real target is Haijiao?"

Qingxu's eyes gleamed, but he did not answer the question. He was currently unsure how these groups had been divided: two groups from Sanhepu and another group from Haijiao.

If it were just a random choice, it wouldn't be a big deal. But if their goal is the Cape, then what happened in Sanhepu is a sitting duck, drawing everyone's attention.

In a courtyard at the foot of Mount Taiyi, a female shopkeeper looked at the two uninvited guests with some surprise. Usually, people who came to inquire about information would choose to come in the morning, and it was rare to come in the afternoon, let alone in the evening!
"Gentlemen, what brings you here today?"

Upon hearing the proprietress greet them, two men dressed in black and wearing straw hats spoke up, "This is the headquarters of Cape Town. We have a business deal to discuss with your master."
