Chapter 128 - One Move!

A cold indifference flashed in Yu Canghai’s eyes.

“Seeking death!”

He didn’t waste any more words, directly taking action, raising his hand as a burst of True Qi shot out.

Hou Baoguo also struck out with a palm.

Bang!

The two bursts of True Qi collided instantaneously, then dissipated into nothingness.

The clashing currents of Qi caused their clothes to rustle loudly.

Yu Canghai didn’t continue his attack; surprise flashed through his indifferent eyes.

“Your injuries have healed?”

Hou Baoguo replied with a faint smile.

“Indeed.”

“No wonder you dare to obstruct me!”

“However, do you think just because you’ve healed, you’re qualified to battle me?”

Yu Canghai snorted coldly.

An awe-inspiring aura burst forth from him, bearing down on Hou Baoguo.

“Qi Refinement to spiritual power!!!

Have you already reached…

the Great Innate Realm?”

An intense graveness flashed in Hou Baoguo’s eyes.

The path of Qi Refinement to Innate starts with ‘Refining Essence into Qi.’

‘Refining Essence into Qi’ refers to True Qi coursing through the body without interruption; once this step is reached, it can be called the Lesser Innate Realm.

Most Qi Refinement Innate martial artists stay at this stage.

The Great Innate Realm, however, requires advancing further to ‘Refining Qi into Spirit.’

‘Refining Qi into Spirit’ involves melding one’s spiritual power with True Qi, thus enhancing the True Qi’s power and creating a unique oppressive force.

Under such oppression, it can decrease an opponent’s reaction time, allowing the practitioner to anticipate every move of the opponent, which is infinitely useful.

However, this step is as challenging as reaching for the heavens.

More than ninety percent of Qi Refinement Innate masters never break through to ‘Refining Qi into Spirit’ in their lifetimes.

Yet, the oppressive might that Yu Canghai was displaying belonged precisely to ‘Refining Qi into Spirit,’ characteristic of the Great Innate Realm.

A flash of indifference passed through Yu Canghai’s eyes.

“Almost there, though not quite, but not far off!”

“However, to deal with you, this is more than enough.”

Hou Baoguo took a deep breath, a formidable desire to fight appearing in his eyes. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Then let this old man see just how strong you, a nearly Great Innate master, really are.”

Ice coldness flashed through Yu Canghai’s eyes.

He raised his hand and pointed.

A burst of True Qi instantly erupted.

Hou Baoguo, not daring to be careless, immediately rallied his True Qi to defend.

Bang!

A muffled sound.

Hou Baoguo’s body flew backward, a mist of blood trailing behind.

Hou Baoguo’s face filled with shock, having used his full strength, but the might of Yu Canghai was terrifying.

He had no strength to resist.

Indeed, a master close to the Great Innate Realm was not something he could withstand.

Seeing Hou Baoguo spitting out blood, heavily injured, Lin Chaodong shouted urgently.

“Brother Hou, that’s enough, just go.

There’s no need to risk your life for the Lin Family!”

Hou Baoguo cracked a smile.

“I, Hou Baoguo, always keep my word.

Since I promised Zhou Yu, I’ll see it through.”

“Death is but a trivial matter!”

Yu Canghai snorted coldly.

“If that’s the case, then die.”

Without any hesitation, Yu Canghai pointed again.

Knowing he couldn’t resist, Hou Baoguo closed his eyes.

But just then, a sound of wind breaking came.

Clang!

A sound of metal clashing rang out.

A silver needle, brushing past Hou Baoguo’s face, embedded itself into the iron door beside him.

Hou Baoguo abruptly opened his eyes, only to see Zhou Yu appearing before him.

“Zhou Yu!”

Hou Baoguo was stunned, then urgently shouted.

“Zhou Yu, run!

Yu Canghai is already a nearly Great Innate master.”

But Zhou Yu did not flee; instead, he looked at Hou Baoguo.

“Elder Hou, are you alright?”

Hou Baoguo urgently said.

“I’m just an old man; if I die, I die.

I’ll hold him off, you go!”

As he spoke, Hou Baoguo tried to get up.

Zhou Yu shook his head.

“Elder Hou, there’s no need for you to act anymore, go rest.

In a moment, I’ll treat your injuries.”

“Now, watch me cripple him.”

As Zhou Yu spoke, his gaze was already locked on Yu Canghai.

Yu Canghai looked at Zhou Yu indifferently.

“So, you are Zhou Yu who killed Lin Yuntian.

Impressive indeed!”

“At such an age, reaching this level, you could almost compare to some geniuses in the Capital City.”

“But unfortunately, you met me.”

“Soon, you’ll become nothing but a cripple, and then I’ll take you back to the Lin Family for punishment.”

Zhou Yu’s eyes, deep and terrifyingly calm like a bottomless ocean, harbored a brewing tsunami beneath this calm.

“Are you done talking?”

“Since entering the city, I’ve seen many who deserve death, but none have made me want to kill them as much as you do.”

“And you, have the honor of being the first!”

Yu Canghai laughed coldly.

“Arrogant!”

Yu Canghai immediately pointed out, this time utilizing his near Great Innate Realm strength.

Zhou Yu also struck out with a palm.

The moment Zhou Yu’s palm struck, the air around seemed to explode instantly.

Yu Canghai’s expression changed, but before he could react, his strike was instantly broken through.

Zhou Yu’s palm force, undiminished in power, directly struck him.

Yu Canghai’s face drastically changed, he instinctively waved his hands to block!

Bang!

Yu Canghai’s figure flew backward, violently smashing into the ground.
