93: Chapter 93 Crush! A Grandmaster of External Strength, a Fair Fight Between True Men!

The moment he spoke, Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan's eyes froze!

Then, a visible panic washed over him!

A single Sky-Walking Grandmaster was someone he could still balance out if he pushed himself; with his youth and strength, he might even be able to wear them to death!

But if another one came...

This wasn't a simple case of one plus one being greater than two. If one Sky-Walking Grandmaster held him back...

Then the other would be an absolute, devastating catastrophe for Lu Qingyun and his companion!

He unleashed his power, temporarily repelling Zhang Cangxuan.

Turning his head, he actually saw the ancestor of the Zhao Family, Zhao Lieshan, walking out from the shadows.

His short, crimson hair flared out like a wild lion's mane, each strand wrapped in sharp, fierce energy!

Standing over eight feet tall with a build like a tiger and shoulders like a bear, his muscles and bones coiled like dragons. His bronze skin shimmered with a dark golden physical aura, and even with his aura restrained, he naturally exuded a pressure like a collapsing mountain.

This was a true Sky-Walking Grandmaster!

A Hard-Style Grandmaster who had tempered his physical body to near perfection!

He was far beyond anything the likes of Han Baxian could compare to!

Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan rushed toward Zhao Lieshan, wanting to intercept him, but he was pinned down tightly by Zhang Cangxuan!

He could only shout threats while fighting back, "Zhao Lieshan! Does your Zhao Family truly want to be exterminated?!"

"Elder Ning hasn't fallen yet! The Ning Family is still the towering tree of Ningan City! If you dare to make a reckless move today, your Zhao Family will have no peace!"

"What a load of crap!" Zhang Cangxuan sneered, revealing a secret unknown to outsiders. "That old fossil of the Ning Family has completely run out of life force. Otherwise, why would he secretly recall all members of the Ning Family at a time like this?"

"Besides, don't be so tense. He won't kill that little girl of the Ning Family. She's just being kept to exchange with the Ning Family in the future. As for that brat... he is indeed beyond saving. I want him... to be buried with my grandson!"

Zhang Cangxuan grit his teeth, old tears streaming down his face!

Facing Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan's increasingly violent attacks, his internal blood and energy surged to the point of spitting out blood from time to time, yet he still refused to let him pass.

In the distance, Zhao Lieshan watched this scene without any emotion in his eyes.

He simply cast a flat glance at Lu Qingyun and said, "My apologies. Old Man Zhang promised me that as long as I help him kill you, all the benefits exchanged for this girl next to you will belong to my Zhao Family."

"As the sole little princess of the Ning Family, her value is beyond your imagination."

"Understandable." Lu Qingyun nodded, actually showing complete understanding.

Because, in all honesty, if he were in this situation, he would make the exact same choice as Zhao Lieshan.

Of course, he understood, but that didn't mean... he agreed to it...

Killing him to gain benefits was fine.

As long as you prove you have the strength to do so!

Lu Qingyun gently pulled Ning Zhiyi's hand off the corner of his clothes, then walked toward Zhao Lieshan with a perfectly calm composure.

This demeanor made Zhao Lieshan chuckle.

"You brat, you have the same temperament I had back in the day! Fearing nothing in heaven or on earth. If wealth weren't so tempting, I would have loved to take you in as my personal disciple!"

"It just so happens that you are also a Physical-type Awakened and even possess a treasure like the Blood Red Vine!"

"It's just a pity... compared to you, who now stands on the opposing side, I still prefer the solid, long-inherited treasures of the Ning Family!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Lu Qingyun also chuckled.

The two of them smiled merrily, the curves of their lips matching perfectly.

Until...

Lu Qingyun's body gradually began to float...

Instantly!

Zhao Lieshan's pupils shrank violently!

Subconsciously, he thought Lu Qingyun had actually become monstrous enough to be a Sky-Walking Grandmaster!

But upon closer inspection, he realized that wasn't the case.

It wasn't a true Sky-Walking Grandmaster, but rather the application of Psychic Power!

A natural Psychic Master, or... a skill obtained from a special beast core?

Zhao Lieshan recalled the Fireball he had seen Lu Qingyun throw earlier while observing from the shadows, leading him to this guess.

But Lu Qingyun's next action immediately allowed Zhao Lieshan to rule out the incorrect answer.

"Honestly, this should be the first time I've revealed this in front of outsiders. I must admit, you do put a little bit of pressure on me..."

"Following the classic trope of drawing a blade only to draw blood, the first thing I should do is..."

Lu Qingyun raised his hand. While throwing Ning Zhiyi far away,

He materialized giant hands out of thin air, grabbing all the remaining Xiantian ants, and then... crushed them!

Bang! Bang! Bang!—!!

Lu Qingyun didn't know exactly how much force his Psychic Power possessed.

But those existences, who were strong enough to be considered powerhouses in the Innate Realm, had tempered and transformed bodies that simply couldn't withstand its pressure!

They collapsed into shriveled heaps one after another...

[Killed one LV28 human martial artist, EXP +5451, Max HP +3645...]

[Killed one LV29 human martial artist, EXP +6541, Max HP +4215...]

Bloody flowers bloomed in mid-air, a magnificent and beautiful sight.

Even Zhao Lieshan couldn't help but look a few more times, a hint of seriousness creeping into his gaze as he looked at Lu Qingyun.

A Psychic Master!

A Physical-type Awakened!

Dual-type talent!

In the Innate Realm, this could already be considered an utterly invincible existence!

This actually piqued his interest a little.

But it was merely interest!

Between the Innate Realm and a Sky-Walking Grandmaster lay a massive chasm, a difference vast enough to drive anyone to despair!

A Grandmaster's title already signified their status on the path of martial arts!

And the Yukong Realm completely demarcated this lifeform from ordinary martial artists!

"Very impressive. And then?"

Zhao Lieshan nodded, a flash of approval crossing his eyes.

But after his approval, he looked at Lu Qingyun and spoke without a single trace of insincerity.

"If it's only this much, it's not enough."

Zhao Lieshan spoke softly, a hint of nonchalance in his eyes.

But in the next instant, his pupils shrank violently!

A figure, as if stepping through space itself, appeared directly in front of him, swinging a fist straight at his head!

Transcendence level! Inch Explosion Force!

[HP -257]

"You've got some strength."

Zhao Lieshan's head was knocked to the left, and a thin thread of bright red blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth.

It was very faint.

He wiped it with his fist, offering his evaluation after seeing the residual blood on it.

Bang—!

Another fist crashed down!

This time, it carried the full force of his Psychic Power, its power seemingly capable of shattering a mountain!

[HP -657]

Simple and direct, without any fancy tricks!

This punch, instead of angering Zhao Lieshan in the slightest,

only made the burning passion in his eyes grow more intense!

Yes!

Exactly like this!

This is the correct way for a Physical-type Awakened to fight!

Trading punch for punch, flesh against flesh—this kind of solid, pure combat is what a real man should do!

"Come! I'll let you have one more punch!"

"After three punches, I will start too!"

The light shining in Zhao Lieshan's eyes was so intense.

It made Lu Qingyun, who had been somewhat confused about what this muscle-brained guy was thinking, understand completely!

He got it!

He realized it!

Then... he grinned, thoroughly amused!
