115.

"Fuck." The man didn't even have the chance to scream before he was blasted out. His speed going backward was twice the speed he charged up with.

"Boom." With a small explosion, the entire valley trembled for a moment. That seemingly simple action of Yang Ze was filled with power beyond what a normal Innate could come up with. It wasn't the aura of heaven and earth, but just simple raw power. A power that came from his own fleshy body.

"Huff... Huff..." By the time dust settled, one could see a figure slowly crawling out the hole. Compared to the arrogance before, his appearance right now could only be described as miserable. The black robe and hood on his body were in rags, revealing the body underneath.

At this moment, his figure became clear to Yang Ze. The man seemed to be in his forties, with a bald head and wheat-colored skin. From his tattered clothes, Yang Ze could see tattoos drawn all over his body, covering his head and hands too.

"These are..." Narrowing his eyes, Yang Ze tried to identify those tattoos, and even though he was a formation master, he couldn't understand what those tattoos meant. They gave off a feeling just like runes drawn on weapons and armors, yet entirely different. This thing seemed to be designed for the human body specifically.

"You... You..." Yang Ze focused back on the man who was looking at him in utter disbelief. With a trembling finger that was pointing toward Yang Ze, the man tried to speak, but the words just won't come out.

"INNATE!?" Even the man himself felt like he was dreaming. How could a kid like him be in the realm of Innate!? Everything in front of him subverted his knowledge. Even the most talented ones take more than thirty-five years to step into Qi condensing late stage, not to mention the Innate realm, which even the best of the best can not step into easily. He himself has sacrificed god knows how much just to barely reach Innate, and now he saw a young boy barely eighteen already in Innate.

At this moment, his entire life seemed to be a lie. For a moment, the man plunged into despair. However, soon this despair was replaced by madness and excitement. If the boy could reach such heights, then there must be something extraordinary about him. Perhaps a great treasure or a great chance. And if he gets that brat, it will be all his. He could even step into manifestation, maybe harmony, or maybe he can reach a realm higher than Innate. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

This was perhaps his one and only chance. After controlling the great excitement in his heart, the man didn't speak. At this moment, he was past having any conversation. He just wanted to take down the boy in front of him. So much so, that he even forgot about the Xia Xueqi lying on the ground. In his mind, once he can reach higher realms, he can enjoy all kinds of women.

"GIVE IT TO ME." With a loud shout, he lit up the qi in his body, covering himself with white armor. Just like the man Yang Ze fought at Darati city, his body at this moment was completely covered in a layer of white armor, giving off a suppressing feeling.

However, unlike the old man from Darati city, this person in front of him wasn't wounded but was at his best. Thus, dramatically increasing his strength and speed.

Clenching his fist, Yang Ze didn't burn his Qi with the aura of heaven and earth to give himself the power of protective armor. His fleshy body was already in the realm of Innate. And at this moment, he wanted to test the limits of his fleshy body.

Without using the aura of heaven and earth or the Qi inside his body, Yang Ze simply took a deep breath and punched at the man that just reached in front of him.

"DIE." With a loud shout, the man threw a punch, meeting Yang Ze's punch.

"Heh... Courting death." Looking at the boy in front of him who wasn't using the slightest bit of Qi or the aura of heaven and earth, the man let out a sneer. In his eyes, this boy was as good as dead.

"Crrracckkk."

However, the scene he had imagined didn't happen. The moment his fist made contact with Yang Ze's, the protective armor shattered like a fragile piece of glass.

There was no earth-shattering explosion or any big movement. Yang Ze's fist was like a hot knife cutting through butter.

"Crack..." With the sound of bones shattering, the man's figure flew back to the same place he was before.

"UUghhh.." Spurting a mouth full of blood, the man looked at his right hand with an expression full of disbelief. His right hand was bent at an angle humanely impossible. One could see white bones sprouting through his elbow, tearing through the flesh out in the open. Other than his hand, his chest was sunken too.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH."

A momentary silence was soon followed by a heart-wrenching scream filled with terror and pain. His mind just couldn't comprehend what just happened. One moment, he was going for the kill, and the next moment he was lying on the ground with broken bones. Fear and confusion soon engulfed his mind. The excitement and greed he was feeling a moment ago were now replaced by fear and desperation. Just this one confrontation was enough to make him understand the difference in their power. At this moment he was truly regretting not accepting the offer of walking away peacefully. But alas! no matter how much he regretted it now, there was no use. Now, it was a battle of life and death. One, that was started by none other than himself.

"Innate Body!" With a moment of clarity, he slowly spoke out two words with disbelief. If there was anyone who could thrash Innate powerhouses to this extent with just a simple punch, then it must be someone with an Innate fleshy body. Only people who stepped into Innate with their fleshy bodies can ignore the suppression and power of Heaven and earth aura.

"Ugh." Slowly raising his left hand, the man tried to move the ground, but before he could deploy the aura of heaven and earth, the figure of Yang Ze in front of him vanished from its place before appearing right in front of him.

After stepping into the fleshy Innate realm, Yang Ze didn't even need to use willow steps to move faster. He could just exert more force and get the same speed as using willow steps.

The moment Yang Ze came in front of the man, he raised his hand and slapped it on his head,

"Thump.." With a loud thump, the man's head was almost buried into the ground. If not for Yang Ze wanting to keep him alive, he would have died in the very first move.

"Now. I have some questions for you. Answer me and I can make it less painful to you." Raising his leg, Yang Ze kicked him in the knee, breaking his kneecap.

"AAAAaggghhhh.." Another miserable cry echoed in the valley.

"Tell me if you are going to answer or not."

"FUCK YOU. NOW I WILL NOT ONLY PLAY WITH THIS GIRL, BUT I WILL DO THE SAME WITH YOU."

"Crack." Another crisp sound of bone breaking echoed, followed by another painful howl.

"YOU..." Clenching his other leg, the man looked at Yang Ze hatefully. "I WILL BE SURE TO LET OTHERS PLAY WITH BOTH YOU AND THIS WOMAN AT THE SAME TIME. I WILL THEN THROW YOU BOTH IN A CHEAP BROTHEL WHERE ANYONE CAN FUCK YOU BOTH AT THE SAME TIME."

"Since you like playing with others so much, I will let you be free from this lust." With a smile, Yang Ze slowly raised his foot and stepped on his crotch.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

The man squealed like a pig. "It's gone... IT'S GONE."

Looking at his pants that were beginning to turn red, Yang Ze nodded in satisfaction. The move he made was vicious to the extreme. Not only did it destroy his manhood, but also his pride and self-esteem.

The man was still desperately writing in pain on the ground. Everything happened so fast that he didn't even have the time to think clearly. The boy who looked like a sheep turned out to be a tiger. Instead of breaking his hands and legs, he himself was now lying on the ground with broken bones. And now that even his pride was shattered, his mind was filled with extreme hatred.

"OH! I see. Still cocky, huh!?" Looking at the man who was now looking at him with eyes full of hate, Yang Ze sneered. "Let's see how long can you last."

Raising his foot, Yang Ze smashed it down on his thigh.

"Crunch.." Another sound of bone-crushing echoed, but the man didn't scream in pain. He was still looking at Yang Ze with eyes full of hate.

"Interesting." Narrowing his eyes, Yang Ze looked at the stubborn man lying on the ground. But before he could think about his next course of action, the man's skin slowly started turning red.

"It's..." Taking a step back, Yang Ze's figure disappeared from there before appearing in front of the unconscious Xia Xueqi.

Within a few moments, the figure of the man lying on the ground was entirely covered in red. It was as if someone lit up a bright red bulb in the valley. Especially during the night, this red glow was visually stunning.

"Huh!?" At this moment, Yang Ze felt a suction force from the place where the man was lying. The blood in Yang Ze's body stopped for a second before going back to normal. But this was enough to alert Yang Ze. If not for him being in the realm of Innate, his entire blood would have seeped out of his body towards that red glow.

"Xueqi!?" As soon as the name came to his mind, Yang Ze glanced behind him only to find her face becoming paler with each passing second. The blood was slowly starting to seep out of her skin.

"Hmph!" With a snort, Yang Ze waved his hand and covered Xia Xueqi with the aura of heaven and earth. As soon as he did that, the blood that was seeping out of her body stopped.

Breathing with a sigh of relief, Yang Ze observed the scene in front of him again. This was giving him the feeling of that array that the old man used in the city of Darati. The function of both arrays was the same. Both were sucking the blood out of the target near them.

As the suction force became stronger and stronger, the valley around Yang Ze slowly began to wither. From flowers to grasses, everything started withering. And in a few moments, the entire valley was stripped clean of any living thing other than those three people.

By the time the suction force stopped, Yang Ze could see a giant red cocoon in front of him.

"Thump.."

"Thump.."

With each passing second, the sound of heartbeat grew louder and louder until the cocoon burst open like an egg, revealing the scenery inside.
