Becoming a Saint Starts with Copying Martial Arts

Chapter 146 Fierce Battle with Tan Yuchun

Lin Qing reacted extremely quickly, turning around and slashing with his blade. The blade traced an arc, unleashing a dazzling blade light that precisely struck the chain hammer.

Ding!

With a crisp sound, the chain hammer was cleaved away by a single blow and fell to the ground nearby.

Lin Qing glanced around and saw a tall man standing on the roof of a dilapidated building not far away, with a thick chain in his right hand and a heavy chain hammer attached to the other end of the chain.

This person was none other than Tan Yuchun, one of the three guardians. With a forceful pull of his right hand, the chain hammer flew back into his hand.

His gaze swept across the scene, noticing the corpses of Rowand and his son beside him. He suddenly cursed, "Damn it, two pieces of trash! I got here so fast, and they're already dead? They couldn't even hold out for that long! Trash! Trash!!"

Tan Yuchun vented his anger, then fixed his gaze on Lin Qing: "You did this, kid? So young, tsk tsk, looks like you're Lin Qing. Fine, those two good-for-nothings are dead, killing you is a great achievement for me!"

A sinister smile appeared on Tan Yuchun's face. Suddenly, he leaped from the pavilion, crashing to the ground like a meteor, creating a large crater. The force of the impact stirred up a cloud of dust.

"Lin Qing, you're a talented kid. Come with me back to the Yin Yuan Sect. The sect leader will definitely like you. He likes talented young martial artists like you!" Tan Yuchun said as he swung his chain hammer and slowly walked towards Lin Qing.

"Tan Yuchun, killing you would be a great achievement for the Soul Suppressing Division. I'm looking to be promoted to Deacon, so I'll borrow your head for a while!" Lin Qing said calmly.

"Arrogant brat, when your Grandpa Tan was running rampant in the city, you were still in your mother's womb. I'll break your bones and hear your wails later!" Tan Yuchun suddenly accelerated, exerted force with his legs, and stomped hard, his body shooting forward like a spring, like a cannonball, straight towards Lin Qing.

This time, he didn't use the chain hammer, but instead used his right arm, which was wrapped in iron chains, to smash down on Lin Qingheng's arm.

Thick, earthy-yellow true energy surrounded his arms, as if he were wrapped in a layer of rock armor, giving him an air of imposing weight.

Lin Qing suddenly used the "Swift as the Wind" technique, and at the instant the arm was about to fall, he suddenly shifted a distance to the left.

boom!

As the rock arm crashed down, it created a large crater in the ground. Centered on the point where the rock arm landed, concentric rings of true energy surged outwards in all directions, creating gusts of wind and waves.

Lin Qing's gaze was cold. While dodging, he suddenly spun around and counterattacked. His long legs were like whips, spinning around once and creating a piercing sonic boom as they lashed out at Tan Yuchun's waist.

Tan Yuchun's expression was solemn, and his other arm was also wrapped in a layer of earthy yellow true energy. He suddenly blocked with his arm.

Bang!

Lin Qing's whip kick lashed out at Tan Yuchun's arm, unleashing a tremendous force that sent him flying.

Tan Yuchun's body flew out uncontrollably, crashing hard into an abandoned pavilion not far away, causing the entire pavilion to collapse. He was buried under the rubble in the dust storm.

But just a moment later, the rubble suddenly exploded, and the earthen-yellow true energy transformed into waves that surged outwards, forming a domain that covered an area of ​​fifty paces, with Tan Yuchun located in the very center of the domain.

His expression was solemn, and his previous arrogance had vanished.

Lin Qing's kick just now completely made him abandon any thoughts of underestimating him. He truly experienced how powerful Lin Qing was. The force of that kick directly penetrated both the true qi and the physical strength protection, causing his arm to temporarily lose sensation.

"What a terrifying kid! So strong at such a young age, what will he be like in a few years? I'll definitely take you down today!"

Tan Yuchun roared and charged forward once more, like a giant beast, crashing straight into Lin Qing.

In an instant, Lin Qing found himself in this earthen-yellow aura domain. He felt as if he were stuck in a quagmire, his every move restricted. This feeling of restriction was even stronger than that of Ao Xiong's aura domain before.

If Ao Xiong's aura domain combines burning and binding, then Tan Yuchun's aura domain is purely for suppressing the enemy.

A golden aura rose from Lin Qing's body as he fully activated the Tathagata Fist Scripture. The aura protected him, making him appear as if a golden Buddha had descended. The feeling of constraint was greatly reduced, but his movement speed still dropped significantly, causing him to completely lose his speed advantage when facing Tan Yuchun.

However, Lin Qing was not afraid of a head-on confrontation.

As Tan Yuchun swung his chain hammer once more, enveloped in a thick mass of earthy yellow true energy, it stirred up a gust of wind and roared towards them. Lin Qing suddenly swung his sword, slashing out and striking the chain hammer squarely.

The blade collided violently with the chain hammer, sending it flying through the air once again.

The two then clashed head-on. Lin Qing raised his hand and threw a punch, secretly using the Tathagata Fist Scripture fighting technique, gathering all his strength into his fist, which collided fiercely with Tan Yuchun's fist, which was wrapped in thick rock-like true energy.

With a deafening roar, the two immense forces clashed violently, creating a large crater in the ground beneath their feet, and sending shockwaves spreading outwards.

Tan Yuchun's expression suddenly froze, the earthy yellow true energy wrapped around his arm suddenly dissipated, and then he lost his balance and staggered backward.

"What terrifying power!" A look of horror flashed in Tan Yuchun's eyes. He finally understood why the Luo family father and son died so quickly. Such terrifying power would kill a True Qi Martial Artist upon contact, and even a True Yuan Martial Artist might not be able to withstand it.

In that instant, Lin Qing pressed forward, delivering a vicious knee strike to Tan Yuchun's abdomen.

Tan Yuchun spat out a mouthful of blood, his body arched, and he flew out horizontally, crashing into a thick earthen wall in the distance.

When the dust settled, Tan Yuchun stood up and spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

The knee strike sent shivers down his spine, causing his internal organs to tremble with excruciating pain.

"You damned brat, I'm going to tear you apart!"

Tan Yuchun cursed through gritted teeth, his body suddenly swelled up, and visible to the naked eye, blood lines appeared on his skin, moving rapidly like venomous snakes. Along with the change in his body, his aura also increased dramatically.

Lin Qing understood that this was Tan Yuchun's strongest state. After using the Blood Ox Forbidden Technique, his physical strength would increase dramatically.

"die!

With a roar, Tan Yuchun stomped his legs and charged forward once again.

This time, he even abandoned the chain hammer in his hand and fought his opponent with only his fists.

Lin Qing also sheathed his sword. Although the sword was sharp, his swordsmanship was far inferior to his fist skills. Since Tan Yuchun wanted to fight with his fists, he would accompany him to the end.

In an instant, the two clashed again. Lin Qing unleashed both fists simultaneously, employing the Tathagata Fist Manual, each punch carrying tremendous explosive power, while Tan Yuchun also displayed a set of exquisite fist techniques.

The two dodged and weaved, moving quickly across the open space, their fists and palms clashing fiercely dozens of times.

At this moment, Lin Qing understood the upper limit of his combat power. He had heard that Chang Yuchun was a late-stage True Qi Realm martial artist, and after activating the Blood Ox Secret Technique, his combat power had risen to another level, making him able to fight on par with him. In other words, Lin Qing now possessed the combat power of the late-stage or even perfect True Qi Realm.
