411: Chapter 55 Battle Against Superior Roots

"Zhuge Qing of the Wuhou Sect, I request your guidance!"

Zhuge Qing spoke in the tone of requesting a spar, then immediately raised his sword fingers to cast a Spell: "Xun Character · Wind Rope!"

In an instant, wind energy condensed around Meng Li into ropes, binding his body.

However, just as Zhuge Qing exerted more force, intending to control the wind ropes to tighten and bind him, he felt an abnormal struggle, as if he were using a hemp rope to pull a massive boulder weighing a thousand jun; no matter how much effort he applied, it had no effect.

Seeing this, Meng Li exerted force and pulled, easily snapping the wind ropes, then landed gracefully.

This greatly surprised Zhuge Qing, and he instantly opened his narrow eyes wide.

It was not as if he had never failed with the Wind Rope before, but whether it was the Little Fire God from before or Fu Rong just now, they had all relied on clever tricks to a certain extent to break free from the wind ropes.

The Little Fire God had changed his skin temperature to prevent the airflow from unifying, while Fu Rong had used her blade imbued with Sword Qi to cut the wind ropes.

This was the first time he had encountered a situation like Meng Li's, where someone directly and forcibly snapped the wind ropes.

However, he had heard elders in his Family mention before that this method of breaking Spells with brute force was commonly used by Body Refining practitioners.

They focused on tempering their Physical Body, possessing extremely powerful physiques and strength; a representative figure among them was Na Ruhu, a member of The Ten Elders who ranked among the two magnates.

Just then, Hari Chagai, having been drawn by Meng Li's method of breaking the Spell with brute force, stamped his foot to exert force and threw a punch at Meng Li.

Hari Chagai possessed the Bloodline of the Golden Family and a naturally powerful physique; not only was his frame massive, but his strength and speed far exceeded ordinary people, and he favored straightforward, hard-hitting fighting styles.

Seeing the fist, as large as a sand pot, coming his way, Meng Li did not dodge or avoid it, instead clenching his fist to meet it.

This display instantly captured everyone's attention.

Zhong Xiaolong had crossed paths with Meng Li a few years ago and held a grudge about him "learning" the Finger Flickering Technique from him. He couldn't help but sneer, "To actually go head-to-head with Hari Chagai, how arrogant. He is the one with the strongest physique and strength among us."

As soon as he finished speaking, the result emerged.

Meng Li remained standing in place, while Hari Chagai, as if struck by a large truck, had his massive body sent flying backward with a boom, crashing through a tree before landing.

"How is that possible?!" Zhong Xiaolong was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

Ma Xianhong, Zhuge Qing, and the others also wore expressions of astonishment.

Wang Ye, in the distance, was also surprised, but upon remembering that Meng Li was an Anomaly, he felt relieved.

An Anomaly, after all, naturally cannot be judged by conventional logic.

At this moment, Fu Rong spoke, "Mr. Meng, be careful!"

As the warning fell, she brandished her blade, and a fierce Sword Qi slashed toward Meng Li with the momentum of breaking through the air.

Meng Li still did not dodge or avoid, instead raising his hand and swiping out.

Fu Rong's expression changed instantly.

The others also felt a chill in their hearts.

Meng Li had just defeated Hari Chagai in a head-on clash despite having a normal build, which was enough to show that he had practiced an extremely advanced Body Refining Cultivation Technique, and his physique and strength were formidable.

However, Fu Rong's Sword Qi was incredibly condensed and sharp, having the effect of cutting a surface with a line, which to some extent specifically countered Body Refining practitioners.

This point had just been proven in the battle: Hari Chagai had been so scared of the Sword Qi that he covered his head and dodged, not daring to face its edge head-on. A tree as thick as a person could hug was easily cut through. The sharpness of the Sword Qi Fu Rong unleashed was evident.

Facing the Sword Qi, Meng Li actually dared to use his hand to catch it!

In the minds of some people present, the image had already emerged of him being slashed into two, along with his hand.

However, reality made them almost pop their eyeballs out of their sockets.

Because that Sword Qi was actually swatted away by Meng Li with a single slap!

And Meng Li's palm looked perfectly fine, without even a drop of blood seen.

"This... this... how is that possible?!"

Fu Rong watched, tongue-tied, her surprise making her words somewhat incoherent.

Then, she looked at the blade in her hand with a trace of doubt, and subsequently swung her hand, sending a Sword Qi slashing toward a tree not far away.

The tree was instantly cut through and crashed to the ground with a boom.

Only then did Fu Rong dispel her self-doubt.

My Sword Qi is fine; the problem is Meng Li.

Meanwhile, Meng Li looked at his palm, where a white mark was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fu Rong's Sword Qi had some effect on him, but it was negligible.

This made Meng Li nod inwardly.

After coming to this world, he had not specifically practiced any Body Refining Cultivation Technique.

Because he had survived the Lightning Tribulation and had traveled through the World River of the Minor Thousand Worlds, the body he had molded using the Beiming Rebirth Technique had undergone a qualitative change compared to his previous lives.

Previous Body Refining Cultivation Techniques, and even many of the Body Refining techniques of this life, were difficult to provide any improvement.

The only thing that could bring improvement was the passive enhancement brought about by the Beiming Fish strengthening itself.

Not long ago, he also gained the Six Treasury Immortal Thief.

However, in this life, Meng Li rarely used physical techniques to fight others, so his awareness of the strength of his own physique was not very clear.

This time, going head-to-head with Hari Chagai's fist and swatting away Fu Rong's Sword Qi with his palm were both done with the intention of testing it.

For this, he had even prepared himself to get injured.

But now it seemed that even if he wanted to get injured, it would not be easy.

Thinking of this, Meng Li turned his head to look at everyone present and asked with a smile, "Everyone, shall we continue?"

No one responded.

The shock brought to them by Meng Li's performance of defeating Hari Chagai head-on with one punch and catching and swatting away Fu Rong's Sword Qi with his palm without injury was a bit too great.

Subsequently, Zhuge Qing withdrew his hand.

The group of Superior Roots members began to think rapidly.

There were a total of eleven Superior Roots members in Biyou Village currently: Chen Duo, Qiu Rang, Hari Chagai, Fu Rong, Jin Yong, Liu Wukui, Bi Yuan, Zhao Guizhen, Zhong Xiaolong, Ding Zihuan, and Zhang Kun.

Chen Duo was a Gu Body Saint Child, skilled in using Gu.

Qiu Rang was an Artifact Refiner who had mastered a portion of the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements.

Both of them were not on the scene because they had tasks.

Hari Chagai had already been defeated.

Fu Rong could not break through Meng Li's defense.

Jin Yong practiced the Heavenly Protective Aura and had a certain level of accomplishment in Body Refining, but it focused on recovery and was better suited for protracted battles. In terms of offensive methods, he admitted that in strength, he was not as gifted as Hari Chagai, and his lethality could not compare to Fu Rong's, so after a brief thought, he gave up.

Liu Wukui was a twin-tailed loli with a natural Immortal Child life pattern, possessing the protective ability "Five Directions Jieti," and she followed the path of Body Refining; her situation was similar to Jin Yong's.

Bi Yuan was a thin, elderly man wearing glasses whose method was the Ghost Gate Needle; calculating that he could not break through Meng Li's defense, he remained silent.

Zhao Guizhen was originally a Disciple of the Maoshan Shangqing Sect, but he was eager for quick success and could not stand the ascetic cultivation in the sect, so he chose to injure his fellow Disciples and defect. Later, he learned the evil art "Seven Evils Gathering Body" through wild Maoshan practices.

To Cultivate this evil art, he committed multiple murders, and he came to Biyou Village to hide from trouble.

At this moment, seeing that Meng Li just had an astonishing physique, he felt he had a way to deal with him, but fearing the exposure of his evil art, he did not speak.

Zhong Xiaolong and Ding Zihuan had crossed paths with Meng Li a few years ago and admitted they were no match for him.

Finally, there remained one person, Zhang Kun, whose ability was called "Earth-Traveling Immortal," which allowed him to move freely underground and could also pull people into the ground.

After thinking for a moment, he quietly used Earth-Traveling Immortal to lurk from underground to beneath Meng Li's feet, then reached out to grab the other's foot...
