Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

Ten days later, at the Crimson Flame Martial Arts Academy.

Zhou Chen, Chen Yunpeng, and the others stood outside the house where Yi Yan was recuperating, their faces serious.

Not long after, Gao Tian pushed open the door and came out, followed by Yi Lianxing, whose eyes were red and swollen.

"Senior Brother Gao, where is Master?" The people waiting outside looked concerned when they saw the two of them come out.

Gao Tian sighed and shook his head. "I'm afraid Master's injuries are beyond repair."

Although Yi Lianxing already knew the outcome, she still burst into tears.

"Recently, the three major families in the city have been fighting fiercely, and my master's injuries are difficult to heal. If we don't choose a side soon, we'll probably be ostracized and have nowhere to go." Gao Tian's gaze was deep and his meaning was hard to understand.

These past few days, he has stayed by Yi Yan's side without leaving him for a moment.

Every night, Yi Yan would sense the aura of a powerful expert at the Enlightenment Realm lingering inside and outside the martial arts hall.

There are as many as four, and as few as one, and they have never disappeared.

Sometimes he even wondered if the enemy his master had made had already found the location of the martial arts school.

They simply played the cat-and-mouse game, deliberately releasing their aura to destroy their minds.

Otherwise, how could that lingering aura bear traces of the Crimson Flame True Skill?

Currently, within the Crimson Flame Martial Arts Academy, only he and Zhou Chen have received the true Crimson Flame skill.

Surely Junior Brother Zhou hasn't already entered the Enlightenment Realm?

Gao Tian shook his head with a wry smile, feeling that he had been indulging in wishful thinking.

If opening the acupoints and breaking through to the next level were truly that simple, he wouldn't have been stuck in the Marrow Cleansing Realm for so long.

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, "Master wants us to go in together."

As soon as he finished speaking, the last five disciples of the Crimson Flame Martial Arts School, along with the newcomers Shi Feng and Xiao Shitou, a total of seven people, moved forward together.

"The master looks even weaker than before, and those dark circles under his eyes make him look like he hasn't had enough rest." Zhou Chen was somewhat surprised when he first saw Yi Yan.

At this moment, Yi Yan, leaning against the bed, was as pale as paper, without a trace of color, looking like he was terminally ill.

The strong smell of herbs mingled with the foul stench of festering wounds, creating a rather unpleasant odor.

What surprised them most was the deep dark circles under Yi Yan's eyes, clearly indicating that he hadn't been able to sleep for a long time.

"Everyone's here." Yi Yan's eyelids drooped, and he looked listless.

Recently, the aura of enlightenment that shares the same origin as the Crimson Flame True Skill has become increasingly powerful and vigorous.

Yi Yan knew that his nemesis was slowly approaching, trying to break down his psychological defenses and make him beg for mercy.

However, since he began practicing martial arts, Yi Yan has never compromised, even after his dantian was destroyed.

This time, naturally, is no different.

Looking at the martial arts school that once had hundreds of disciples at its peak, now only a handful remain, Yi Yan felt a complex mix of emotions.

"You've all been dragged down and wronged by me these past few days." His voice was hoarse, like a withered tree.

"Tian'er, divide up the remaining resources of the martial arts school, and let everyone go their separate ways." The next second, Yi Yan's words surprised Gao Tian.

"The city is about to descend into chaos. Everyone, stop guarding this old geezer."

Just as the group was about to speak by the bedside, they heard a loud rumbling sound coming from afar.

"Chen Wen, you old bastard, come out and face your death!" The booming sound waves traveled from afar into the martial arts school and could still be heard clearly.

"Another Qi Opening expert." Yi Yan coughed up blood again as he felt the power in the sound waves. "And he's a master of the Middle Dantian as well."

"Hahaha, your Li family can bring in outside help from the county town, but my Chen family can't?" A moment later, another wave of sound came.

Zhou Chen recognized it as the voice of Chen Wen, the enlightened elder of the Chen family.

Just then, a deafening roar came from afar.

It was not the clanging of swords clashing, but the deafening sound of blood colliding and true energy exploding.

Those cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm have already clashed.

Immediately afterwards, countless terrified screams and cries erupted from all directions.

Zhou Chen suddenly looked up, gazing in the opposite direction from which the sound came.

There, a continuous stream of ash-like energy emanated, and it was even intensifying.

-----------------

The north of the city has now become a meat grinder.

Li Mingde and the martial artist who had been hired by the Li family at great expense, both at the Middle Dantian Realm, were like two killing gods, charging and fighting among the Chen family disciples.

Behind them stood the Li family and the strong disciples of the Hanliu Martial Arts School who had come to join them.

Chen Wen and another martial artist who had been invited to open the lower dantian realm tried their best to resist, but they were completely overwhelmed by the slender martial artist in the middle dantian realm.

The lower dantian opens the Qihai acupoint.

The Qi Sea is the place where the body's Qi and blood converge, and the root of essence. Opening the Qi Sea in this realm makes a martial artist ten times stronger than when the marrow is cleansed.

However, to cultivate the middle dantian, one must not only open at least eighteen acupoints connected to the lower dantian, but also open the Shenque point, three inches inward from the Tanzhong acupoint.

Once the middle dantian is formed, the qi is nourished by blood, and the true qi is several times stronger than that of the lower dantian, thus truly unleashing the power of true qi.

Thus, the gaunt old man single-handedly overpowered Chen Wen and another martial artist who had come to help him, and even gained the upper hand.

In this way, Li Mingde, who was at the Enlightenment Realm, was able to free his hands and rush into the crowd, resulting in a massacre.

"Old Zhao! Why aren't you making a move? Don't you understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?" Chen Wen's eyes were bloodshot as he watched his juniors die one after another.

In recent days, the Li family's power has been shrinking due to the destruction of Black Wind Stronghold by an unidentified expert, but this has given the Chen family, whose power is rapidly expanding, the illusion.

After spending a large sum of money to hire a martial artist who had previously been on good terms with him and had attained enlightenment, Chen Wu couldn't wait to ask Chen Wen to launch an attack on the Li family.

Unexpectedly, although the Li family's power had shrunk somewhat, they had already secretly made a plan.

As they went back and forth, the two groups of people bumped into each other without prior arrangement.

Chen Wen's roar spread around, and the enlightened elder of the Zhao family, who was hiding in the shadows, moved his eyes and finally shook his head.

For decades, the Chen, Li, and Zhao families have controlled all the major and minor interests in Xingde County. Although they are opposed to each other, they also share a tacit understanding.

Now that Black Wind Stronghold has been wiped out by outside forces and the Li family's power has shrunk rapidly, the tripartite balance of power has changed.

"Let's make our move. If the Chen family is wiped out, we alone won't be able to stop that expert with the middle dantian." As soon as he finished speaking, his body turned into a blur, and in just a few leaps, he rushed into the battle between the Chen and Li families.

He held a curved knife and resisted Li Mingde's slaughter.

The Zhao family disciples followed closely behind, coming to reinforce them and finally stopping the Li family's one-sided slaughter.

"Brother Mingde, that's enough." Zhao Tianzhao glanced at his old friend, narrowed his eyes, and smiled, like a venomous snake in the shadows.

"Old Zhao, are you taking sides?" Li Mingde said fiercely, looking at the old man from the Zhao family who was blocking his way.

The Li family spent a significant portion of their savings and favors to invite that martial artist who had opened his middle dantian to help them. If they didn't seize the opportunity to gain enough profit, the losses would be enormous.

He didn't say much, but his spear trembled as he thrust it straight at the old man's vitals, showing none of the perfunctory attitude he had shown in previous encounters.
