Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

Li Changqing began to regret his decision.

He shouldn't have delayed for so long, even though he didn't waste those ten years.

He has elevated his strength to its pinnacle...

No need for daily grueling practice anymore.

Li Changqing only needs to adjust his breathing rhythm on weekdays and occasionally stretch his muscles to ensure that his strength steadily increases.

To achieve a breakthrough and go further.

We need to find more advanced methods.

Before this, Li Changqing did not think there was anything wrong with the path he had chosen.

Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting!

This is a wise saying passed down from our ancestors: first hone your own skills, then find a way to go further.

What could be wrong with that?

As for advanced martial arts, given his terrifying talent and comprehension in this life, the martial arts he figured out on his own seem to be even stronger.

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

There are some martial arts skills that cannot be mastered by simply studying them in isolation.

For example, the poisonous palm of the masked demon man, and the method Du Daniu used to conceal his cultivation level.

These were all things that Li Changqing had never encountered before.

Now that he has seen it, he has many thoughts and feelings...

Li Changqing had no idea how many such miraculous martial arts techniques existed in the martial arts world.

Even if Li Changqing can't find a precedent to learn from, there are ways to further improve his strength.

With these miraculous techniques, he might be able to forge a new path on his own.

This feeling of regret was quickly forgotten by Li Changqing.

What's done is done, and there's no point in regretting it.

The next thing Li Changqing needed to consider was how to get his hands on these cultivation techniques.

Thinking of this, Li Changqing spoke up directly.

"We've gotten along quite well these past six months. Leave your martial arts technique, and that guy's poisonous palm strike. How about I leave you both with intact corpses?"

The two sides have reached a point where they are irreconcilable enemies.

Li Changqing himself didn't care.

Even if these men in black were tied up, they wouldn't be a match for him.

But the Grand Canal Gang was different.

This includes not only ordinary gang members, but also their families.

These men in black, since they've used Madam Nan and Nan Yingying as hostages, there's nothing they wouldn't do.

If we let them go, there will be endless troubles in the future.

Aside from his older brother Li Changsheng, Li Changqing had a good relationship with his sister-in-law and niece.

He could not possibly leave such danger to the canal gang.

Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Therefore, this person in front of me must die!

Hearing Li Changqing's words, Du Daniu felt as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

He burst out laughing.

"Changqing, your strength is indeed extraordinary. But you know nothing about the martial arts of this world. Shanhai County is too small; the Innate Realm is already the limit, and you have no idea about the Profound Realm..."

Hearing this, he had already admitted that he was a grandmaster at the Tongxuan realm.

Li Changsheng felt his heart skip a beat.

The other members of the Cao Gang only knew of the power of the Tongxuan Realm Grandmaster, but had never seen it with their own eyes.

Li Changsheng, the top enforcer of the Canal Gang, was different. He had actually witnessed a master of the Profound Realm taking action when he went to the capital.

He was a guest retainer of the Grand Canal Gang, who could receive a stipend of 10,000 taels of silver every year without doing anything.

Need to sell, price to be discussed.

Even a master like this couldn't use three moves against a great expert in the late stage of the Innate Realm.

With just one punch and one palm strike, he severely injured his opponent.

Even after many years, Li Changsheng still feels lingering fear when he recalls how powerful that person was.

The profound mystery, the profound mystery, that is a realm that is no longer comprehensible to humans.

Even with his current late-stage Innate Realm cultivation, plus the added benefit of the Flying Knife Formation, he still wouldn't be able to achieve his goal.

Even Li Changsheng didn't think he could last five moves against that grandmaster...

After all, he didn't know how much power that grandmaster had used back then.

Is it 100%, or 80%? Or perhaps the other party only used 30%?

"A Grandmaster of Profound Mystery?"

Li Changqing remained unfazed, seemingly unconcerned even when Du Daniu admitted to being a Tongxuan Grandmaster.

"Changqing, don't do anything reckless!"

The other person's palm was pressed against his back, and Nan Zhentian was still afraid. He had finally had a chance to advance further, perhaps even become a Grandmaster of the Profound Realm.

How could he die here?

"Did you hear what your gang leader said? He told you not to act rashly and to obey him."

Du Daniu laughed.

He was not afraid of Li Changqing's strength, but he also seemed unwilling to fight Li Changqing.

"Stop wasting your breath on these guys, just kill them all. As long as you hold off those two brothers, we'll take care of the rest!"

Despite wearing a demon mask, King Kong was still unwilling to give up his plan to slaughter the entire Canal Gang.

His brothers were all dead.

Why are these guys still alive and well?

This is not fair!

They too must die; they must be buried with their seven brothers.

"Shut up!"

Just as the boy with the demon mask was about to continue shouting, a "poof" sound suddenly came from his body.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was still clearly audible to a master in the late stage of the Innate Realm.

Like the two men in black in front of him, the man in the bull demon mask froze in place like a statue.

This move startled both Du Daniu and the masked man.

They had absolutely no idea how Li Changqing had managed to do it.

But he was able to strike the masked demon man's pressure points from a distance, instantly rendering him incapacitated.

Unlike the previous two, the man wearing the demon mask was mentally prepared for Li Changqing's pressure point technique.

Despite being prepared, he still couldn't escape.

Li Changqing's acupoint striking skill is probably several levels stronger than that of many grandmasters.

"you!"

What did the masked demon man want to say?

Li Changqing didn't give him a chance; with a flick of his finger, a gust of wind was instantly sent out.

"puff!"

The masked man opened his mouth, but could no longer utter a single word.

Not only him, but the last man in black met the same fate.

"puff!"

Li Changqing walked towards Du Daniu as if he were strolling leisurely.

Five late-stage Innate Realm experts, including one who was half-step into the Profound Realm, were all subdued by Li Changqing.

During this process, apart from Du Daniu and Li Changsheng, no one else, including Nan Zhentian, noticed anything amiss.

Li Changsheng's gaze towards his younger brother had changed.

He could understand why his younger brother wanted to hide his strength.

After all, he taught it to me personally.

But he simply couldn't understand why his precious younger brother was so strong.

Even a master at the late stage of the Innate Realm is not much stronger than a three-year-old child in front of Li Changqing.

Just how terrifying is his strength?

Just thinking about it sends chills down your spine.

Du Daniu, who claimed to have reached the Tongxuan realm, also had a very complicated look in his eyes.

"A Grandmaster of Profound Mystery!"
