Chapter Fifteen: Breaking the Void

Ding, ding, ding...!

The flying knives were all repelled by his fists and sent flying.

However, the plummeting body was slightly slowed down.

"Without Qi, just the power of the physique!" Jiang Ming's pupils shrank, his thoughts racing, flashing with countless ideas.

"You like jumping high, huh? Then I'll keep you up in the air!"

Jiang Ming thought as he threw a punch skyward.

"Soaring Hidden Dragon!"

Boom...

The punch erupted, transforming into an invisible true dragon sweeping upwards, causing Quan Wuer's pupils to shrink. His body suddenly spun, and with a slight flex of his left leg, he ruthlessly stomped downwards.

An explosion echoed, shaking heaven and earth.

The moonlight distorted, reverberating through the mountains.

Jiang Ming's punch was forcibly crushed by the other party, but Quan Wuer was also rebounded upwards helplessly, reaching a height of more than thirty meters.

Suspended in mid-air, with no place to borrow strength, he could only fall again.

Watching this scene from a distance, Lu Yuan was stunned, then laughed, quickly saying: "Brother Jiang, what a divine tactic, truly excellent. This wonderful method is perfect for dealing with Quan Wuer. Just keep him from touching the ground."

"Quan Wuer practices the Longxiang Dominator Body Skill, his body is exceedingly powerful. It's rumored that he could smash powerful grandmasters. All weapons are useless against him, and he is impervious to both water and fire. His power is despairing to face."

"Without Qi in his body, he can't borrow force and can't cross distances."

"Brother Jiang, don't let him touch the ground!"

Lu Yuan's voice carried a trace of schadenfreude.

"You will die!" In the air, Quan Wuer was furious.

But he was continuously attacked by Jiang Ming, unable to descend. Although he was unharmed, it was still uncomfortable.

"I'm the Vice Sect Leader of the Divine Fist Sect, if you are my enemy, then you are the enemy of the entire Divine Fist Sect, think carefully! There is no bad blood between us, this is all a misunderstanding. Let me go, and I'll act as if nothing has happened, okay?" His voice softened as he revealed his identity and posed a threat.

Jiang Ming had an inexplicable expression on his face.

Let him go?

He wasn't a three-year-old child. As soon as the other party sprang into action, it was fated that one of them will die. After all, this was a martial world.

If I don't die, then I have to make you die.

Moreover, after hearing what Lu Yuan said, he realized that the other party was practicing the Longxiang Dominator Body Skill. He could feel it, and he couldn't possibly let the latter leave.

"Brother Jiang, don't listen to him!" Lu Yuan had already caught his breath and jumped forward. With a palm in the air, he sent Quan Wuer even higher.

His Qi was concentrated to the extreme and had already surpassed the Innate realm.

He had reached the Master-level Realm, Jiang Ming made his judgement.

"I accidentally discovered his and Tan Feng's secret and was attacked by them. I ran away because I couldn't match them. Otherwise, how could just one of them make me, the young master, so embarrassed?" Lu Yuan quickly explained the cause and effect. "Now that we know his situation, how could he let us go? Collaborating with the Demon Sect is tantamount to being enemies with all the righteous Tianxia Sects, not to mention that he wants to assassinate the Sect Leader of the Divine Fist Sect."

He unleashed another two palms towards the air.

At this moment, Quan Wuer's body suddenly spun around, and using the force of the blowback, he darted in the other direction.

"I have been prepared for you!" Jiang Ming, as swift as lightning, had already arrived ahead and continued his onslaught, forcing Quan Wuer back to the upper air.

"Damn it!" Quan Wuer was furious but powerless.

This clearly exposed the drawback of body cultivation.

Although powerful, he didn't understand the way of transformation. If he had a strong Qi, he would have already fallen to the ground. How could he be in such a disarray?

"Scheme against the Sect Leader?" Jiang Ming blinked, "Go on!"

"I've only heard bits and pieces." Lu Yuan didn't conceal anything, "The Divine Fist Sect possesses unparalleled body refinement methods in the world, they have the Divine Fist Scripture and the Long Xiang Dominator Body Skill both of which surpass Dalin Temple's Vajra Skill. However, they have a shortcoming - they lack a true ultimate martial arts skill. Their Qi cultivation and adaptability in battle are barely satisfactory, so they have always been suppressed by the Zhen Wu Sect, Chunyang Sect, and Dalin Temple."

"The Divine Fist Sect has also been strategizing to perfect an ultimate martial arts technique, but to no avail."

"It seems like Quan Wuer and Tan Feng's conversation entailed the Sun and Moon Demon Sect presenting the lost Shaoyang Scripture in order to ensnare the Sect Leader. Then, they would join hands to kill him, so Quan Wuer could take his place."

"A while ago, I heard a rumor that the Shaoyang Scripture had appeared in Mount Dependence City, I thought it was fake."

"Then I heard that the Leader of the Divine Fist Sect travelled to Mount Dependence City, giving rise to some doubts."

"Only after uncovering Quan Wuer's conspiracy, did I understand."

"Quan Wuer used the Demon Sect to plot against the Sect Leader in order to become the leader himself. And the Demon Sect? They'll probably want to reignite conflict within the world."

"Is what I'm saying correct?"

Lu Yuan looked up to the sky as he spoke.

Quan Wuer didn't respond.

But Jiang Ming said: "Shaoyang Scripture?"

"You never heard of it?" Lu Yuan felt surprised, seeing Jiang Ming nod, he explained: "Legend has it that long ago two exceptional talents appeared in this world. They honed each other, vied against each other and gradually, one of them comprehended the Nine Yin Divine Art, while the other created the Nine Yang Divine Scripture. You know about the Chunyang Sect, right? It is said they got a piece of the Nine Yang Divine Scripture which was later improved by the ancestor of Chunyang, and that's how the Chunyang Manual was created, and subsequently the Chunyang Sect. Lengyue Palace seemingly acquired a part of the Nine Yin Divine Art and garnered a great legacy; Dalin Temple, Zhen Wu Sect and Sun and Moon Demon Sect also have a share of these two unparalleled martial arts' heritage. The Shaoyang Scripture is also a part of the Nine Yang True Scripture, once it appears, do you think the world would remain calm?"

"Do you believe it?" Jiang Ming smiled and asked, "In the same era, two world-dazzling figures comprehend unparalleled martial arts. After their teachings were passed down, people who obtained a piece of it created their own powerful sect. What about their original sect? Their family? The forces behind them?"

His heart, however, sank.

If what Lu Yuan has said is true, striving for the Nine Yin and Nine Yang would be incredibly difficult.

"I don't believe it either, it's too fantastical, but there are always rumors!" Lu Yuan shrugged.

"Could it have come from outside the world?" Jiang Ming pointed to the sky, "In ancient books, I have read about the theory of shattering the void. If martial artists could break the void, could it be that there are outsiders?"

"Breaking the void, outsiders?" Lu Yuan was astonished, "I've never heard of it, but your theory is mystical. Can martial artists break the void?"

He scratched his head.

Jiang Ming had an inexplicable look in his eyes.

At this moment, a change occurred in the sky above.

"Heart beats like a drum, blood boils, body dyed in blue blood battling the heaven."

"Fighting spirit is high, death wish formed, unrest until enemies are killed."

Thump, thump, thump.

The beating of Quan Wuer's heart sounded like the beating of war drums, allowing the two people below to hear. Then, layers of blood mist emerged from his body, intertwining with each other.

His body flipped, head down, feet up.

A formidable punch was launched downwards and on his fist, a fist-sized blood mist condensed, resembling a tangible blood-colored Gang air.

"This is the Blood War Secret Skill of the Divine Fist Sect, it can boost several layers of combat power, be careful!" Lu Yuan warned, his expression serious.

"Blood War Secret Skill? Making blood vitalize, emerge from the body, forming a special force, interesting!" Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed, revealing more interest.

"Then let me test the power of his punch!"

"Dragon Soaring from the Abyss, Fighting for Nine Heavens!"

Jiang Ming made his move, his body soared into the air, the Qi inside his body boiling and raging out from his Sea of Qi, forming the terrifying killing move of the Dragon-subduing Fist.
