A man in the martial world, a reincarnated sword immortal.

Chapter 78 Transcending [Essence and Qi], the Sword Qi of [God]! (4K Two-in-One)

now.

The people from the martial arts world around them all had eyes full of shock.

The sword energy is formless yet has substance!

Although they didn't know what kind of sword energy Zhong Yuan had just unleashed!

However, judging from the fact that the pine forest was cut in half and the ditch that appeared on the ground, it was clear that...

You can also feel the terror of that invisible sword energy!

The most important thing is!

The veil of the Heavenly Child Granny was cut open, and her clothes were torn!

The Shaolin monk Xuanji, the Beggar Clan leader Qiao Feng, and the Ming Cult leader Zhong Lieyang were no match for Tianshan Tonglao!

But this deadly scholar was capable of injuring the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny!

This shows just how terrifying Zhong Yuan's sword strike was!

In a short time.

There was no sound.

Gazing at the Heavenly Child Granny in Zhongyuan, a ripple stirred within her heart.

Don't be fooled by her calm demeanor.

However, that invisible sword energy had already caused her some hidden injury!

Just now, that invisible sword energy carrying sword intent far exceeded her understanding of invisible sword energy!

That invisible sword energy just now was a truly powerful sword energy that could have injured her, or even killed her!

That sword energy had long surpassed the level of mere technique!

You've touched the threshold of the Tao!

She had once heard her master mention that essence, energy, and spirit are the three most important treasures for martial arts practitioners!

Most martial arts practitioners in the world can only stay at the level of Qi (vital energy) throughout their entire lives!

Only by cultivating essence and energy to their ultimate level can one reach the level of the divine!

If we categorize essence and energy at the level of technique.

Therefore, God is the level of the Tao!

This was something her master had personally told her.

Once you touch the threshold of God, once you touch the threshold of the Way.

That would give them the ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous!

Even if one's essence and energy reach their peak, they cannot reach the level of spirit.

Compared to that sudden appearance of divine light, it was nothing!

This is the difference between technique and principle!

There is a world of difference between the two!

How could something of this level possibly appear in this kid surnamed Zhong?

How old is he!

How could anyone possibly comprehend something at this level!

She had followed her master since childhood, cultivating the "Eight Desolations and Six Directions, I Alone Am Supreme Technique," but even now, she still couldn't reach that threshold.

She couldn't figure it out.

How did this kid surnamed Zhong manage to do that?!

This level of stuff!

If he were to unleash another sword strike!

I couldn't stop it at all!

Even though she had over eighty years of powerful internal energy to support her!

However, among the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, the word "spirit" is the most mysterious and unpredictable!

It can unleash unimaginable power.

Even if this kid surnamed Zhong can only unleash one last sword strike!

She can't stand it!

She dared not gamble!

If she were to receive another sword strike, that invisible sword energy would be devastating!

Today, she will surely be surrounded and killed by these martial arts practitioners here!

This is something she absolutely cannot accept!

Just as the Heavenly Child Granny fell silent!

there.

Murong Fu, who had been watching the spectacle for a long time, finally seized his opportunity!

He drew his sword directly, raised it, and thrust it towards Tianshan Tonglao's back!

A hint of joy flashed in Murong Fu's eyes!

Now is the time!

But this is a golden opportunity!

That day, the Child Granny of Tianshan fought in succession against Li Qiushui, Xuanji of Shaolin, Qiao Feng of the Beggars' Sect, and Zhong Lieyang of the Ming Cult!

It already consumes a lot of energy!

He was injured again by Zhong Yuanyong's invisible sword energy!

By making his move at this moment, he gained a huge advantage!

As long as he kills the Heavenly Child Granny with one sword and personally slays this great demon!

Then his name, "Southern Murong," will surely surpass that of "Northern Qiao Feng" after this day, making him the most renowned figure in the martial arts world!

As Murong Fu drew his sword, he also shouted loudly!

"The Heavenly Child Granny!"

"Do not harm Young Master Zhong!"

"Take this!"

call out!

Murong Fu's speed was also extremely fast!

He had waited a long time for this opportunity, so naturally he was going to give it his all!

He held nothing back.

Before the words were even finished!

The sword's edge had already reached not far behind the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny!

Just when Murong Fu thought his sword would pierce Tianshan Tonglao's back,

Suddenly, the Heavenly Child Granny turned around, raised her hand sharply, and slapped out.

A surge of violent true energy erupted, sending Murong Fu flying with a single palm strike!

Murong Fu's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the trunk of a pine tree, then spitting blood and falling to the ground!

Taking advantage of the situation, Tianshan Tonglao retreated and landed on a pine branch. She glanced at the crowd around her, then focused her gaze on Zhong Yuan, her eyes filled with apprehension!

Although she knew that if she didn't kill this boy today, he would surely become a major threat to Lingjiu Palace in the future!

but!

She can't gamble!

If she loses, Lingjiu Palace will have no tomorrow.

She can't afford to lose!

"The one surnamed Zhong!"

"Let's settle this score for now!"

"One day, I will personally go to the Ming Cult and twist off your head to appease the spirits of my Lingjiu Palace disciples in heaven!"

"And you bunch of rabble!"

"I have already noted down this debt!"

"One day, I will surely exact my revenge!"

"Xiao Yu!"

"Let's go!!"

Wow!

The Heavenly Child Granny landed and immediately flew away, her lightness skill still superb and her speed incredibly fast.

Over there, in the mountains and forests, the women of Lingjiu Palace, dressed in black, were seen quickly retreating down the mountain.

None of those martial arts figures dared to stop them.

after all.

The intimidating power displayed by the Heavenly Child Granny was truly overwhelming!

now.

Seeing Tianshan Tonglao retreat, Zhong Yuan was overjoyed.

The Heavenly Child Granny was terrified!

That sword strike just now completely drained him.

It wasn't just that the internal energy within the body was completely drained.

Even my mind is feeling a bit foggy right now.

The person's energy and spirit were depleted in an instant.

He forced himself to stay awake.

They walked towards the Ming Cult members over there.

At this time.

Then, Mu Wanqing rushed out and came over to help Zhong Yuan.

With a worried look, she whispered in Zhong Yuan's ear, "Are you alright?"

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan forced a smile. Although he was feeling dizzy and lightheaded, he couldn't relax.

Upon seeing Mu Wanqing support Zhong Yuan's left arm, Huo Tianjiao quickly stepped forward and supported Zhong Yuan's right arm as well.

The two exchanged a glance.

A spark seemed to flash in his eyes.

Zhong Yuan, however, had no time to pay attention to the rivalry between the two women.

He struggled to stay upright and addressed Xuanji and Xuantong of Shaolin Temple, as well as Qiao Feng, who had finished recuperating, and the many martial arts figures present: "Everyone!"

"The Heavenly Child Granny has already retreated."

"I, Zhong, am unworthy to have saved this devil."

Upon seeing this, Qiao Feng immediately said, "Young Master Zhong's swordsmanship is extraordinary. Today, we were able to force the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny to retreat entirely thanks to Young Master Zhong's heroic efforts."

"As long as this terrifying demon, the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny, remains unscathed, the martial world will never be at peace!"

"If Young Hero Zhong ever decides to deal with the Heavenly Child Granny, he must inform Qiao Feng!"

"No matter where Qiao Feng is, he will join forces with Young Master Zhong."

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan was already itching to take Qiao Feng back to the Ming Cult right now.

However, the time is not yet ripe.

We can only take preventative measures in advance.

"Steve Jobs!"

"I have some knowledge of physiognomy, and I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should!"

Qiao Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Young Master Zhong, please speak freely!"

Zhong Yuan glanced at the Beggars' Sect elders over there and whispered, "I see that Chief Qiao's face is dark; I'm afraid he'll be in trouble soon."

"If Chief Qiao ever encounters any problems he cannot solve, he may come to Zhejiang to find me, and I may be able to answer his questions."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng found Zhong Yuan's words somewhat jarring and harbored doubts, but he did not refute them.

after all.

Zhong Yuan demonstrated enough strength to win his approval.

He used to think that in the martial arts world, only Murong Nan could compare to him.

However, it seems that...

[Nan Murong] is nothing but a scoundrel who seeks fame and fortune and launches sneak attacks from behind. On the contrary, he is quite impressed by this son of the Ming Cult leader.

Immediately, Qiao Feng cupped his hands towards Zhong Yuan and said, "Young Master Zhong, I appreciate your kindness."

"Since things have come to this point, I cannot linger any longer. I shall take my leave now!"

Zhong Yuan nodded slightly.

Qiao Feng immediately led the Beggars' Clan members away.

Over there, before the monk Xuanji had recovered, Xuantong walked over and greeted Zhong Yuan with his hands clasped, saying, "Benefactor Zhong."

"If it weren't for the Ming Cult's intervention today, we monks alone probably wouldn't have even been able to touch the hem of Tianshan Child Granny's clothes."

"If the Ming Cult ever intends to besiege Lingjiu Palace, please inform Shaolin Temple."

"Shaolin Temple will definitely provide its full assistance."

Zhong Yuan nodded slightly, said nothing more, and simply said, "I understand Master's intentions."

37

"However, it is best for the Ming Cult to resolve the feud between Lingjiu Palace and Ming Cult themselves."

Upon hearing this, Xuanji's face flashed with astonishment. Shaolin Temple was one of the top sects in the martial arts world at that time.

He took the initiative to show goodwill and offered his help, but unexpectedly, Zhong Yuan rejected him.

However, he wasn't angry; he just felt that Zhong Yuan was young and impetuous.

after all.

Zhong Yuan, at such a young age, has already surpassed him and Senior Brother Xuanji in skill.

Given time, and with further improvement in his skills, he might be able to kill the Heavenly Child Granny.

If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much.

Xuan Tong didn't say much, but turned around and gestured for the monks to take Xuan Ji down the mountain.

Just as Zhong Yuan was talking to Qiao Feng and Xuan Tong.

In the woods, Murong Fu, who had been sent flying by Tianshan Tonglao's palm and coughed up blood, was helped up by Feng Bo'e and Bao Butong, looking disheveled.

Murong Fu was furious. He thought it would be a personal show for him, but instead he lost face!

He was sent flying by a single palm strike from the Heavenly Child Granny!

This greatly displeased him, and he was extremely unhappy.

Bao Butong tentatively asked a question.

"Young master, are you alright?"

Murong Fu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, suppressing his anger, and shook off Bao Butong's hand.

"I'm fine!"

there.

Duan Zhengchun assigned four bodyguards—fisherman, woodcutter, farmer, and scholar—to protect the wounded Zen Master Kurong.

He then strode to the pavilion and grabbed Duan Yu.

"Yu'er!"

"It's time to go back with Dad!"

Duan Yu, looking utterly dejected, said to Duan Zhengchun beside him, "Father, the Fairy Sister is gone!"

Duan Zhengchun was quite helpless.

Of all the people his son could like, he had to fall for a vixen from the Free and Unfettered Sect!

That enchantress is so skilled in martial arts that she has now become the prime suspect for stealing martial arts manuals from various schools and sects in the martial arts world.

If her son were to get involved with that vixen again...

I'm afraid these martial arts figures won't let this go easily.

He immediately whispered to Duan Yu, "Yu'er!"

"Don't be ridiculous!"

"There's no such thing as a fairy godmother!"

"That's a witch!"

"I will kidnap you and bewitch your mind!"

"Walk!"

"Let's go home!"

immediately.

Duan Zhengchun then pulled Duan Yu out of the pavilion, where Zen Master Kurong had already recovered some of his strength.

Duan Zhengchun said, "Master Kurong."

"It's getting late, let's head down the mountain."

Zen Master Kurong rose and nodded slightly.

Just then.

Suddenly, Murong Fu shouted loudly!

"Wait, Prince Zhennan!"

"Young Master Duan keeps calling Li Qiushui a fairy goddess!"

"It must be something quite close to Li Qiushui!"

"Today, many martial arts practitioners have gathered here to uncover the truth behind the theft of martial arts manuals from various schools!"

"Now, Li Qiushui is far more suspicious than Tianshan Tonglao!"

"We urge Prince Duan to give everyone an explanation and clarify who Li Qiushui really is!"

"Otherwise, how could so many fellow martial artists have managed to leave Lingjiu Mountain today?"

Murong Fu's eyes were filled with cold light. He felt he had lost all face after being slapped away by Tianshan Tonglao.

Therefore, he must regain his dignity.

The Prince of Zhennan is the best breakthrough point.

"That's right!"

"We demand an explanation from the Prince of Zhennan!"

"Otherwise, none of us will be able to leave the mountain easily today!"

With Murong Fu taking the lead, the group of martial arts practitioners immediately turned their attention to Duan Yu.

Duan Zhengchun's face was grim. He said to Duan Yu beside him, "Yu'er!"

"What is the background of that vixen Li Qiushui?!"

"did you know?"

Duan Yu shook his head, looking mournful, and said, "I don't know!"

"That day, the fairy sister took me away from that blessed land of Langhuan and played with me in the mountains for several days."

"I call her Fairy Sister."

"But we don't know where she came from or where she lives!"

Seeing this, Duan Zhengchun also looked helpless, but as a father, how could he let his son be bullied by outsiders in front of him?

He immediately addressed Murong Fu and the other martial arts figures, saying, "Gentlemen!"

"You all heard that!"

"My Yu'er has absolutely no idea about Li Qiushui's background!"

"He was merely abducted by Li Qiushui and his mind was clouded!"

"The Duan family of Dali has never associated with demons and evil spirits!"

"If you all forcibly prevent my father and me from leaving the mountain today, you will be making enemies of the Duan family of Dali."

Duan Zhengchun was, after all, the Prince of Zhennan of Dali, and he still showed great courage in crucial moments.

These words immediately made many martial arts practitioners wary, and they took a few steps back.

after all.

The Duan family of Dali is quite famous in the martial arts world today, and they are, after all, royalty.

Among them, very few dared to oppose the Dali Duan family.

Murong Fu, however, was relentless. He snorted coldly and spoke directly.

"The Prince of Zhennan!"

"Young Master Duan is not a three-year-old child, nor a seven- or eight-year-old boy!"

"How could he be so easily bewitched by that vixen Li Qiushui? I think it's obvious he's intentionally protecting her!"
