#363 - Xiongba, you are doing great!
Inside the sleeping quarters.
A large map of Eastern Continent was hung flat on the wall.
The map was extremely detailed, clearly marking places of scenic and historical interest, famous rivers and mountains, enchanting landscapes, and bizarre rock formations.
Yu Linglong stood quietly before the map, her eyes shining brightly, gazing at it with rapt attention.
Since returning to her sleeping quarters, she hadn't rested for a moment, immediately ordering someone to hang the map.
At this moment, she was like an explorer about to embark on a great journey, carefully memorizing every detail on the map.
These places were all sacred lands she yearned to set foot in the future.
The small Azure Wave City was, to her, just a harbor where her dreams set sail, a successful initial experience.
In her grand blueprint, next, she would step by step traverse the entire Eastern Continent!
And then, expand her horizons to the entire world!
"It's just a pity, there's too little time..."
Yu Linglong pondered to herself, and after careful calculation, she couldn't help but sigh deeply.
She could only leave the island after nightfall and had to rush back before dawn.
The time spent on the giant snake's journey also needed to be deducted, so the time she truly had to freely allocate was very little.
Helpless, Yu Linglong picked up a writing brush and slowly drew a semicircle on the map, with Azure Wave City as the center.
This semicircle was the range she could travel within the limited time.
"Too small, still too small!"
Yu Linglong looked at this narrow area, filled with displeasure, and angrily threw the brush aside.
With so little room to move, not to mention traveling the world, she would hardly be able to traverse the vast lands of Eastern Continent.
"No, I have to get Xiongba to think of a good solution."
Yu Linglong was slightly stunned upon hearing this, and she felt surprised.
How could Xiongba have a conflict with the Hall of Law Enforcement?
"What's going on?"
She immediately asked.
The maidservant hurriedly replied:
"It is said that the Hall of Law Enforcement arrested two of Xiongba's subordinates today, and Xiongba used his authority as an inspector to forcibly enter the Hall of Law Enforcement to investigate."
"But the Hall of Law Enforcement refused, and a conflict occurred between the two sides because of this."
After hearing this, Yu Linglong didn't feel too worried.
After all, Xiongba possessed the powerful strength of a Fourth-Rank martial artist, and ordinary disciples of the Hall of Law Enforcement were naturally no match for him.
The only thing to worry about was Liao Chengxuan.
However, Liao Chengxuan had always acted cautiously and knew how to measure his actions, so he probably wouldn't go too far.
"Go and convey my oral order, let both sides stop."
"If there are any problems, wait and argue about it in the main hall later."
Yu Linglong instructed, while reaching out her hand, slowly rolling up the map, preparing to put it away.
The maidservant accepted the order and was about to turn around and leave, but seemed to suddenly remember something, and reported again:
"It is said that this matter has already reached Elder Li's ears."
"Elder Li has already set off and is rushing towards the Hall of Law Enforcement, presumably she should be able to quell the dispute when she arrives."
Yu Linglong's movements suddenly stopped upon hearing this.
Li Xueqing went!
Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and she hurriedly threw away the map in her hand.
"Whoosh!"
A gust of wind suddenly rose for no reason.
By the time the maidservant could see clearly again, Yu Linglong had already disappeared, leaving only the map, slowly falling to the ground.
..................
On the other side.
At the entrance of the Hall of Law Enforcement.
The entire place was silent, everyone was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
In everyone's mind, Liao Chengxuan would definitely be able to easily crush Liang Jin, but the scene before them was completely the opposite.
Liao Chengxuan was like a sandbag with no power to resist, first being knocked away by Liang Jin with a punch, and then being heavily punched back to the ground.
At this moment, Liang Jin was wantonly ravaging Liao Chengxuan!
This scene was as unbelievable as the sun rising from the west.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the deep pit at the entrance of the Hall of Law Enforcement, eagerly expecting Liao Chengxuan to jump out of the pit unscathed and continue to engage in a fierce fight with Liang Jin.
However, after everyone waited anxiously for a long time, there was still no movement in the pit.
In an instant, the entire place exploded:
"What's going on? Is Hall Master Liao deliberately holding back? Is he playing a deep and unfathomable game of chess, deliberately losing to Xiongba for some unknown reason?"
"That's right! Hall Master Liao is already invincible in the same realm, how could he easily lose to Xiongba, a self-taught amateur? There must be some unspeakable secret hidden in this."
"Could it be that Hall Master Liao is afraid of Xiongba's identity? After all, in terms of status and position, Xiongba seems to be slightly better than Hall Master Liao."
"Let's keep watching, I don't believe that Hall Master Liao will be so easily defeated, he will definitely make a comeback!"
Everyone chattered and discussed, but deep down, they were unwilling to believe that Liao Chengxuan had really been defeated by Liang Jin.
After all, in the minds of the disciples of the Dragon Transformation Sect, Liao Chengxuan was a tall image that had been established over decades, and could not be easily shattered by one or two punches.
In their hearts, they still held a glimmer of hope for Liao Chengxuan.
Just at this time.
Liang Jin slowly floated down from mid-air, landing steadily beside the big pit.
In the big pit, Liao Chengxuan lay in the bottom of the pit in a mess, blood gushing from his mouth like a spring, obviously he had completely lost the strength to fight again.
Liang Jin stretched out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan and pulled Liao Chengxuan out of the pit.
"Liao Chengxuan, I will not take your life."
"But I will destroy your martial arts, so that Tang Ge will have a companion, so he won't be too lonely."
Liang Jin's expression was indifferent, and his voice was like coming from the Nine Nether Hells, filled with endless chill.
Saying that, he slowly raised his other hand.
At this moment, Liao Chengxuan had completely lost his combat power, and in Liang Jin's hands, he was like a chicken at the mercy of others, not even having the strength to struggle.
Seeing that Liang Jin was really about to attack, he was terrified, his mind trembled, completely disregarding the injuries on his body, and said weakly:
"Xiongba... it's not that I deliberately opposed you..."
"I really am... forced to..."
Liang Jin raised the corner of his mouth slightly upon hearing this, revealing a mocking chuckle.
Now you regret it?
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Moreover, Liang Jin intended to establish his prestige this time, and merely abolishing an executive Tang Ge was far from enough.
And the master of the Hall of Law Enforcement was obviously more important and could achieve the effect he wanted.
"I don't care whether you are forced or not."
"Since you have made a choice, you must pay the price you deserve."
As soon as Liang Jin's voice fell, the fist in his hand fell like a shooting star.
He only needed to break Liao Chengxuan's dantian qi sea to achieve his goal.
However, just when Liang Jin's fist was about to fall at the critical moment.
Suddenly!
A stern shout was like a bolt from the blue, suddenly exploding:
"Xiongba! Stop!"
"Dare to touch him and see what happens!!!"
This voice was like rolling thunder, containing profound internal strength, shaking everyone present until their faces were as pale as paper, and they only felt that the entire space was shaking violently.
As soon as Liang Jin heard this familiar voice, he knew that his nemesis had arrived.
Sure enough, a figure was flying towards this side rapidly from the distance.
It was Li Xueqing!
Liang Jin glanced coldly at Li Xueqing, his eyes devoid of fear.
Then, his fist unhesitatingly slammed down.
"Bang!!!"
The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!
A dull, heavy sound.
The fist struck Liao Chengxuan's abdomen like a heavy hammer.
Liao Chengxuan's body trembled violently as if struck by lightning, his facial features twisted and deformed from extreme pain, and beads of sweat instantly covered his entire body.
Liang Jin released his grip, and Liao Chengxuan collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, writhing and screaming in agony.
Liang Jin's punch had completely shattered his dantian qi sea, destroying his martial arts!
And Liang Jin was deliberately doing this in front of Li Xueqing, to disgrace her and humiliate her.
In the distance.
The onlookers were stunned and incredulous at the sight.
The reversal they had been eagerly anticipating did not occur, and Liao Chengxuan's supposed comeback vanished like a bubble.
Liao Chengxuan's martial arts were destroyed just like that, without any resistance.
Only now did the crowd awaken as if from a dream.
It turned out that from the beginning, Liao Chengxuan was really being brutally abused by Liang Jin!
He wasn't deliberately yielding, nor was he pretending to be injured, but he was truly being beaten without any ability to fight back.
Within the Transformation Dragon Gate, Liao Chengxuan's myth of being invincible among those of the same Fourth Rank realm collapsed completely in that instant!
This result was too much for many to accept, and the crowd erupted once again:
"Is this Xiongba really only at the Fourth Rank realm? Otherwise, how could he defeat Liao Chengxuan with just two punches?"
"Liao Chengxuan is an invincible existence in the same realm! If Xiongba is really only at the Fourth Rank, there's absolutely no way he could defeat him!"
"Hall Master Liao must have been careless. The advanced martial arts he learned in the Transformation Dragon Gate didn't even have time to be used, otherwise, how could he have lost to this wild, untrained Xiongba?"
… …
The crowd was immersed in shock, completely unaware that Li Xueqing had already rapidly approached.
At this moment.
Li Xueqing's face was ashen with anger, like a gloomy sky before a storm.
She had clearly spoken out to stop him, but this Liang Jin dared to destroy Liao Chengxuan's martial arts in front of her.
This was undoubtedly a resounding slap in her face in public!
If Li Xueqing couldn't even protect her own confidants, who in the sect would be willing to work for her in the future?
Her figure was like lightning as she swiftly swept to the entrance of the Enforcement Hall and landed steadily.
Her eyes, like two sharp knives, stared fiercely at Liang Jin as she gritted her teeth and roared:
"Xiongba, how dare you!"
"You actually dared to cripple the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall!"
"Who gave you the gall?!"
Li Xueqing's aura surged like a raging tide, recklessly released, her eyes filled with murderous intent, as if she wanted to devour Liang Jin alive.
Liang Jin faced Li Xueqing's fierce aura without fear, calmly responding:
"The Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall knowingly violated the law and openly defied the sect rules!"
"What's wrong with me crippling him? What is there to be afraid of?!"
Li Xueqing trembled with anger, her teeth chattering.
The internal energy around her body surged wildly, her aura rising steadily, and her murderous intent became even more intense.
She stepped closer to Liang Jin, filled with killing intent, and said, word by word:
"Good! Good! Xiongba, you are very good!"
"You actually dared to cripple the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, truly audacious and completely disregarding the sect rules of my Transformation Dragon Gate."
"Today, this Elder will personally take action to eliminate you, this scourge of the sect!"
At this moment, Li Xueqing had already made up her mind that, no matter what, she would make Liang Jin die on the spot!
If not, she would lose all credibility and be utterly disgraced in the Transformation Dragon Gate.
Liang Jin faced Li Xueqing's grim killing intent with a calm expression, simply opening his mouth to say:
"Elder Li must have forgotten that you are no longer an Enforcement Elder."
"Are you still trying to exercise the power of an Enforcement Elder?"
"Aren't you afraid of being accused of overstepping your authority?"
Upon hearing this, the hatred in Li Xueqing's heart grew even stronger, almost consuming her completely.
How did she lose her position as Enforcement Elder?
Wasn't it all thanks to this hateful brat in front of her!
Now this brat dared to bring up the past, simply rubbing salt into her wound.
At this moment, simple verbal sparring was meaningless.
Only by killing Liang Jin could everything be resolved!
In the next instant.
A string of information suddenly flashed wildly on Liang Jin's panel:
[Detected that the host is being invaded by the Underworld Serpent Venom. The 'Immune to All Poisons' trait has been automatically activated, successfully resolving all toxicity for the host!]
[Underworld Serpent Venom: Originates from the Underworld Serpent venom glands in the Myriad Dragon Valley of Transformation Dragon Island. It is incredibly poisonous. If the poisoned individual does not receive an antidote, they will die within ten breaths.]
[Detected that the host is being invaded by the Centipede Immortal Venom. The 'Immune to All Poisons' trait has been automatically activated, successfully resolving all toxicity for the host!]
[Centipede Immortal Venom: Originates from the golden-striped centipede in the Myriad Dragon Valley of Transformation Dragon Island. Those poisoned will feel light and ethereal, and without an antidote, the poison will invade the brain within a quarter of an hour, driving the person insane.]
[Detected that the host is being invaded by the Red Jade Nine Fragrance Insect Venom. The 'Immune to All Poisons' trait has been automatically activated, successfully resolving all toxicity for the host!]
[Red Jade Nine Fragrance Insect Venom: Secreted by the Red Jade Nine Fragrance Insect from the South Sea, refined with various poisons. If the poisoned individual does not receive an antidote, all of their cultivation will be completely dissolved within half an hour, turning them into a cripple.]
Liang Jin looked at the information presented before him, and a storm raged in his heart, his astonishment overflowing.
He never expected that, without realizing it, he had already been poisoned with three kinds of deadly poison!
Liang Jin's gaze became solemn.
This Li Xueqing was indeed a top expert in the Transformation Dragon Gate, and her methods were indeed ruthless and hidden.
Until this moment, Liang Jin had not been able to detect when and where she had secretly poisoned him, nor how he had stepped into her trap step by step and been poisoned by several poisons, which was truly impossible to guard against.
If he didn't possess the special trait of [Immune to All Poisons], he would probably have died unknowingly at this moment.
He wouldn't even know how he died.
Thinking of this, the corners of Liang Jin's mouth slightly turned up.
Since he was immune to all poisons, then in this regard, he was undoubtedly Li Xueqing's nemesis.
No matter how exquisitely she had cultivated her poison techniques, how could she possibly harm Liang Jin?
Since Li Xueqing had already launched a deadly attack against him, then Liang Jin would naturally no longer be soft-hearted and allow himself to be slaughtered.
In an instant.
His entire aura surged like a raging tide, and it was as if a rampaging beast was madly colliding inside his body.
At the same time, his figure rapidly became taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a powerful and sinister aura spread from his body.
Upon seeing this, Li Xueqing's eyes narrowed sharply:
"You want to use the 'Hundred Evils Body Technique'?"
"We'll see if I allow it!"
Before the words finished, she suddenly raised her palm, and a foul-smelling stream of air faintly swirled and surged in her palm.
Then, she slammed her palm fiercely towards Liang Jin, who had not yet fully entered the Hundred Evils Body state.
Three Corpse Soul Severing Palm!
