Free Web NovelChapter 214: Chapter 202: Great Strength Dantian
’He... he actually unleashed three of those attacks in a row, and his power hasn’t diminished in the slightest... It seems he was holding back a lot when he fought me that day!’
Watching the young man use Momentum of the Earth three times in a row to smash Venerable Tuxin into the ground, the Baihua Sect Master’s expression grew grim, unable to hide the shock in her heart.
When she had fought the young man three days ago, she’d believed she lost only because his words had thrown her off, preventing her from using her full strength. She had thought that killing him wouldn’t have been too difficult. But now, she saw that wasn’t the case at all!
An attack that contained the majesty of the earth was so powerful that even an Ultimate Venerable Peak Powerhouse would likely exhaust their strength with a single strike. And yet, this young man had just unleashed three of them in a row!
’If he had used three consecutive strikes when he fought me, even with my current understanding of the second form of the Flower Rain Divine Fist, I would never have been able to withstand it!’
’How ridiculous. I was so smug before, thinking he was only qualified to be my equal because of his Three Great Demon Pets. Now it’s clear that if he really wanted to kill me, he could have easily won without relying on them at all!’
If Nie Yun knew what the Baihua Sect Master was thinking, he would probably just shake his head with a wry smile.
Three days ago, when he fought her, his True Qi reserves had been limited. Even though he knew that three consecutive strikes of Momentum of the Earth would have defeated her, he simply hadn’t had the strength to do it.
’It’s a good thing I didn’t dare have any second thoughts. It seems he was holding back that day...’
Huo Gangx, who was standing off to the side, felt his pupils constrict. He didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.
Watching the battle, he knew that if the young man hadn’t held back that day, a single blow would have turned him into a meat paste. Submission would have been out of the question; nothing would have mattered!
A cold sweat broke out on his back at the thought.
The Baihua Sect Master and Huo Gangx’s expressions turned ugly. The Royal Family’s old ancestor, Fengg Yu, along with Luo Tianxiang and Mo Yanqing, also looked ashen-faced. This was especially true for Mo Yanqing. He had also crossed swords with Nie Yun back when the youth had just comprehended Momentum of the Earth. Now, his mastery of it was far more refined. ’If I had insisted on charging over just now,’ he thought, ’I’d probably be a dead man!’
Terrifying!
How could such a terrifying young man exist? Was he really only seventeen?
"Come on out!"
After smashing Venerable Tuxin into the ground and creating a deep pit, Nie Yun dove down. With four slashes of the Profound Jade Sword, his Sword Qi carved a grid-like pattern into the ground around the pit. Then, he reached down with one large hand and grabbed.
BOOM!
A square pillar of earth, twenty to thirty meters long, was forcibly ripped out of the ground. The pit Venerable Tuxin had been smashed into was right in the middle of this pillar.
The surface of the Imperial Capital Plaza was specially constructed, paved with hard granite. The earth beneath it had compacted over many years, becoming as hard as rock. Everyone was aghast to see the young man casually carve out such a massive rectangular block of earth.
"Break!"
After pulling out the rectangular pillar of earth, Nie Yun punched it. Dust flew everywhere, and a figure was pulled toward him, ending up in his grasp.
It was none other than Venerable Tuxin!
He was completely listless, his body a limp mess with who knows how many broken bones. It looked like even a Miracle Elixir wouldn’t be able to save him.
’Let’s see the properties of the Great Strength Dantian!’
Grabbing Venerable Tuxin, Nie Yun willed his True Qi to circulate gently through the man’s body. In an instant, the properties of the Great Strength Dantian and its Powerful Qi appeared clearly before him.
To form a certain type of Dantian, one first had to have a perfect understanding of its properties. Although Venerable Tuxin was gravely injured, he had just been in a battle, so the Powerful Qi was still circulating within him, making it easy to investigate.
’So that’s how it is... Special attribute, Great Strength Dantian, form!’
With a thought, his seventh Dantian began to operate according to this special aura, instantly transforming into a Great Strength Dantian.
’It really is powerful!’
After forming the special talent, he felt the Powerful Qi converted from his Dantian. His physical strength instantly surged by nearly tenfold, reaching the strength of about 500 elephants. Nie Yun was so excited he almost shouted aloud.
’I wasn’t too afraid of the Mi Tian Sect Master before, but with this kind of power, who in the Divine Wind Empire can withstand a single blow from me now?’
"Where have you taken my father and the others? Who are you? What faction do you belong to?"
Feeling the power surging within him, Nie Yun’s aura was overwhelming. He squeezed Venerable Tuxin’s neck and demanded with a cold snort.
"You want to know where your father and the others are? In your dreams..."
Venerable Tuxin knew he had no chance of survival, so he acted brazenly. His face twisted into a defiant expression, and he said no more.
"You think I don’t dare to kill you?" Nie Yun’s eyes narrowed.
"Go on, do it. If you kill me, you’ll never know where your father and the others are!" Blood trickled from the corner of Venerable Tuxin’s mouth as a strange smile spread across his face.
Judging by how the young man had dealt with Zhao Xun earlier, he knew his own doom was inevitable. His attitude hardened in response, and he now only wished for a quick death.
"You want to die? It won’t be that easy!"
Knowing what the man was thinking, Nie Yun jabbed the Profound Jade Sword sharply at his Dantian.
BANG!
Venerable Tuxin let out a wretched scream as his Qi Sea and Dantian were shattered, his cultivation washed away in an instant.
CLATTER!
As his Dantian shattered, the items inside his Storage Dantian rained down. Without even looking to see what they were, Nie Yun swept them all up with a wave of his hand and stored them in his own Dantian.
"Kill me..." Venerable Tuxin shrieked.
"I’ll make it so you can’t live, but you can’t die, either. I’ll make you feel that death itself is a luxury!" A savage look appeared in his eyes as Nie Yun threw Venerable Tuxin in front of Hei Yan.
"You watch him for now. I’ll come for him later!"
After giving the order, Nie Yun turned and descended from the air.
"Yes, Master!" Hei Yan’s enormous head nodded. It looked at Tuxin and its mouth opened in a bone-chilling grin.
"You were going to help Zhao Xun deal with me just now?"
Landing on the half-collapsed high platform, Nie Yun looked at Fengg Yu and Luo Tianxiang.
"We were unaware that Venerable Nie Yun possessed such strength. We have offended you and hope for your forgiveness!"
"We were merely planning to mediate. We didn’t want to see you kill each other!"
Now that they understood the young man’s strength, and with the Baihua Sect Master and Huo Gangx’s attitudes unclear, Fengg Yu and Luo Tianxiang—neither of whom were fools—knew how to weigh the situation. They both gave a dry laugh.
"Mediate? Thank you both for your concern, but... from my perspective, it didn’t look like you were trying to mediate. It looked more like you were about to attack me."
A mocking smile played on Nie Yun’s lips.
"Venerable Nie Yun, you must be joking. How could we possibly attack you!"
Luo Tianxiang looked embarrassed.
"Venerable Nie Yun, you’re still young. Sometimes it’s enough to just understand things without spelling them out. We should all leave each other some face," Fengg Yu said, a little displeased.
Ultimate Venerable Powerhouses held a revered status. Fengg Yu, in particular, was an old ancestor of the Royal Family and a former Emperor of the Divine Wind Empire. Being pressed by Nie Yun, he had already offered an explanation out of fear of his strength, which was a clear sign of backing down. It was a matter everyone understood implicitly. For the young man to ignore their conciliatory attitude and call them out so directly, the atmosphere on the high platform instantly turned icy.
"Face? Face is something you earn, not something others give you. You say this today because I’m strong. If I were weaker, I imagine you’d be singing a different tune!"
According to the information he’d gotten from the Iron Rock Mercenary Corps, Fengg Yu, Luo Tianxiang, and Zhao Xun had been very close recently. They were likely involved in his parents’ capture, which was why Nie Yun wasn’t sparing their feelings in the slightest.
"The strength you just displayed is indeed impressive. However, there is always a higher mountain. A young man shouldn’t be too arrogant, or you might end up just like Zhao Xun!"
Hearing the young man’s relentless words, Fengg Yu’s face darkened.
Although the young man’s performance had shocked him, deep down, he didn’t believe he was a match for him! freewēbnoveℓ.com
The power of the Momentum of the Earth attack was astonishing, but as an old monster who had been famous for a century, he was well aware of an Ultimate Venerable’s True Qi reserves. He felt that unleashing three such attacks in a row was already beyond the young man’s limit. His strength was likely exhausted, and his current attitude was just a bluff.
"Arrogant? Heh, you can try me and see if I’m being arrogant!" Nie Yun clasped his hands behind his back, standing tall on the platform.
"Nie Yun, I watched your fight just now. To have such cultivation at your age is truly impressive! However, to think you can challenge Lord Fengg Yu with that level of strength... aren’t you getting a little ahead of yourself?"
Luo Tianxiang snorted, knowing Fengg Yu’s power was unfathomable.
"Getting ahead of myself? Oh! You’re right. In that case... the three of you should come at me together!" Nie Yun’s finger then pointed to Mo Yanqing.
’It seems killing Zhao Xun and Venerable Tuxin wasn’t enough to establish my dominance. Now that I’ve formed the Great Strength Dantian, they’ll be perfect for testing out my new power!’
"He’s telling Lords Mo Yanqing, Fengg Yu, and Luo Tianxiang to attack him together?"
"That’s impossible! Mo Yanqing, Fengg Yu, and Luo Tianxiang are three of the most powerful figures in the Divine Wind Empire! It would be one thing if he could defeat one of them, but telling all three to attack him at once? Has he gone mad...?"
As the young man’s words echoed, the crowd below heard him clearly and were all shocked.
While they had been stunned by his victory over Zhao Xun, they weren’t entirely surprised. After all, Zhao Xun was the weakest of the Empire’s Ultimate Venerables. As for Venerable Tuxin, being friends with Zhao Xun meant his strength probably wasn’t that great either. Defeating those two wasn’t unimaginable!
But now, he was challenging Mo Yanqing, Fengg Yu, and Luo Tianxiang—and telling them to team up...
Arrogance!
That single word rose in everyone’s mind.
"Brother Yun, I admit I can’t withstand that move of yours containing the majesty of the earth. But to say that the three of us should team up, and that you can defeat us in three moves, is going a bit too far!"
Mo Yanqing’s face darkened as well.
As the man known as the Empire’s number one genius, his pride was immense. Not only had this young man shattered the radiance of his genius, but he was now demanding that three of them attack him together. He felt utterly humiliated.
"Ignorant brat, you’re courting death!" Fengg Yu was so angry his beard stood on end.
"Venerable Fengg Yu, Mo Yanqing, no need to be angry. Since Venerable Nie Yun is so confident, I see no reason for us to hold back. Let’s attack together! It’s just that, in a contest of strength, it’s hard to control one’s power. If we end up injuring him, it can’t be helped!"
The corners of Luo Tianxiang’s mouth lifted into a sudden, savage sneer. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
