37: Crush the enemy's vitality and reach Yanshan City
Just one strike!
The middle-aged man was sent flying!
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man landed, steadied himself, and looked at Jiang Yi, his expression a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
The web between his thumb and forefinger was cracked, throbbing with a numbing pain!
It almost made him lose his grip on the Cold Edge in his hand.
What kind of monstrous strength was this?
Could he be a martial artist who specialized in Cultivating strength?
Or was it innate Divine Power?
It was as if he wasn't facing a person, but a ferocious, rampaging ancient elephant, possessing limitless strength!
"The same as you!"
"What?"
"Naturally... someone who will kill you!"
Jiang Yi took a step forward!
There was nothing flashy; just pure strength, raising his saber and bringing it down, slicing through the air.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically!
His Qi Blood erupted!
Above his head!
Streaks of bloody Qi smoke rose!
A bone-chilling cold permeated the air, causing a faint white mist to form around his body.
The middle-aged man Cultivated one of the Li Family's Four Great Sword Arts—
The Frigid Frost Sword Art!
His Qi Blood was like winter frost; as his Qi and blood surged, it could freeze everything for a hundred miles!
Under his Qi Blood Realm Fourth Layer cultivation level!
The Frigid Frost Qi Blood spread, coating the Cold Edge in his hand with a thick layer of solid ice.
It had already transformed into a greatsword.
It looked even larger than Jiang Yi's heavy saber!
"Dong!!!"
There was another muffled thud, and the aftershocks tore through the air, creating ripples!
The middle-aged man's body shook violently.
The web between his thumb and forefinger tore, and blood flowed freely!
The middle-aged man felt his internal organs were almost displaced, and intense pain swept through his entire body.
His eyes were bloodshot and bulging!
He endured the intense pain, his figure flickered, and a layer of frigid frost and snow mist spread out!
It was as if an icy, snowy world had manifested.
A bone-piercing cold permeated his mind!
Like falling into an ice cellar!
A greatsword silently emerged from the hazy snow mist!
Concealed within it!
It fiercely stabbed towards Jiang Yi's chest.
"Petty tricks!"
Jiang Yi tossed his heavy saber aside, clasped his hands together in front of him, and caught the blade barehanded.
He pressed the tip of the "greatsword" between his palms.
With a gentle twist!
The thick layer of solid ice covering it exploded layer by layer, turning into countless ice shards that scattered in all directions!
Then, the Cold Edge longsword inside was revealed!
"Shatter!"
Accompanied by a faint whisper!
The Cold Edge longsword began to develop cracks rapidly, starting from the tip.
In the blink of an eye!
They spread across the entire sword body!
With a "bang," it shattered!
Only the short hilt remained, but under the immense force, it also flew from the middle-aged man's hand.
A large hand broke through the air!
Like a sharp eagle's talon descending, it firmly gripped his shoulder.
The middle-aged man activated his full Qi Blood Realm Fourth Layer cultivation level, stimulating the Qi Blood throughout his body.
He tried to shake off that large hand!
But unexpectedly!
An even more majestic Qi Blood surged forth, exuding dominance, profoundness, and grandeur.
It forcibly suppressed his Qi Blood, crushing it one by one!
"Ah ah ah!"
The middle-aged man let out screams!
He collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud, his aura visibly weakening.
His Qi Blood was almost completely extinguished!
"Uncle Qi, should we kill him?"
"Sigh!"
Huang Seven stepped forward, looking at the middle-aged man who resembled a dead dog, a complex expression on his face.
After a moment!
He shook his head and let out a bitter laugh!
"Let's... spare his life for now!
Circumstances are stronger than man!
He is, after all, a member of the Li Family, and with the strength of my Huang Family, we simply cannot contend with them..."
Jiang Yi nodded.
This was also why he hadn't delivered a fatal blow!
If he were alone, he would naturally be merciless.
He would have directly twisted his neck and been done with it!
Huang Seven also felt quite aggrieved; those who kill are killed in turn.
But as luck would have it, he couldn't kill him!
This damned world!
Huang Seven kicked the middle-aged man and spat fiercely!
"Come on!"
"Find a thick rope and tie him up for me, tie him securely..."
Then!
He turned to look at Jiang Yi and patted him on the shoulder!
"You don't need to worry too much!"
"It's just a bit of trouble; once we return to the city, I'll talk to the old man.
At that time, if the Overlord Body Sect steps forward, the matter should pretty much be resolved!"
Huang Seven stared at him!
His mouth spread into a meaningful smile.
"It's you, though, you almost scared me!
You've hidden yourself quite deeply!
That person from the Li Family has a Qi Blood Realm Fourth Layer cultivation level.
But in your hands, he couldn't even last a few moves!
Playing the pig to eat the tiger, are you?"
Jiang Yi smiled, his face humble, "It's alright, I'm just a little stronger than him..."
"Just a little stronger, really?"
"Really!"
"Hahaha!"
Huang Seven didn't ask further.
In his opinion, with such strength, he was at least at the Qi Blood Realm Sixth Layer or above.
This was already comparable to the top-ranked elder brothers in his family.
It was truly unimaginable!
This was no longer something that could be described as an ordinary martial Dao Genius!
He was a Genius among Geniuses!
It seemed that even within those major powers, there were only a handful of such individuals!
Where did this martial Dao freak come from!
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Huang Seven and his group set off again... for Rock Mountain City!
It was the only large city within a thousand-mile radius, with a history of over a thousand years.
It is said that a thousand years ago!
This place was actually just a rocky mountain, later forcibly leveled by a powerful martial artist.
It became a large flat plain!
As time passed, many people discovered this place and settled there.
Later, more and more people settled, began to expand the land, build city walls... developing to this day!
It had already become a city, gathering ninety percent of the martial artists within a thousand-mile radius!
...The golden crow set in the west, and the sunset glow was boundless!
The setting sun, barely a millimeter above the horizon, was about to completely disappear into the mountains and sea.
At the distant end!
A large yellow banner appeared, swaying gently in a wisp of evening breeze.
It fluttered about a zhang high in the air.
Beneath the banner!
More than ten figures gradually began to appear!
With a series of intermittent cartwheel sounds, they became increasingly clear... It was Jiang Yi and his group!
They finally arrived at their destination before dark—
Rock Mountain City!
"We're back, phew..."
Seeing the tall city wall so close, Huang Seven, who had been tense all the way, immediately relaxed!
He let out a long breath!
"Let's go, into the city!"
"Everyone has worked hard on this journey; now that we're back, you can rest for a few days..."
"Haha, thank you, Dart Head (Escort Leader)!"
" Dart Head (Escort Leader) is righteous!"
Rock Mountain City was divided into inner and outer cities!
The Huang Family was located in the outer city, residing in an area closer to the inner city.
Although their influence was considered medium within the city, it was not to be underestimated!
They occupied a thousand mu of land and had tens of thousands of servants.
Jiang Yi followed Huang Seven into the Huang Family, and under the arrangement of the steward, he first rested in a side room.
Huang Seven, on the other hand, rushed to the council hall...
