BOOM!!
Before the stunned crowd, a colossal figure plumted from the sky, landing beside the high platform with a terrifying crash.
The ground shuddered violently as floor tiles exploded, sending shards of stone flying. So guests standing too close were struck by the debris. Their skin was gashed, their fine evening wear torn, and blood instantly began to flow.
Only then did the crowd get a clear look at the man who had fallen from the sky.
He stood nearly 2.3 ters tall, his build as terrifying as a great beast’s. His arms hung past his knees, his back was as broad as a bear’s, and his pectoral muscles bulged. His skin was a dark, purplish-black, as if he were a demon incarnate.
The gathered celebrities and dignitaries didn’t recognize Zhao Xuanqi, gasping only at his terrifying appearance. But it was a different story for the mbers of the Yuehai Martial Arts Realm. After the recent battles in the Martial Arts Association’s tournant, who among them didn’t recognize Zhao Xuanqi’s face?!
For him to appear at this banquet, dropping from the sky in front of everyone?! What on earth was he thinking?! Was he walking straight into a trap? Did he have a death wish?!
After all, this was no simple business gathering. Countless Martial Arts Halls from Yuehai and nurous masters from the greater Martial Arts Realm were all gathered here!
As the saying goes, even the greatest fighter can be overwheld by numbers. No matter how strong Zhao Xuanqi was, if all these people ganged up on him, he would be cut down on the spot!
There were limits to any one man’s strength!
anwhile, on the high platform, Lu Wenshui and the three other elders clearly felt Zhao Xuanqi’s gaze lock onto them. It was filled with such a terrifying, intense killing intent that a chill ran down their spines.
This monster, appearing here—it was obvious he had co to take their lives!
The audacity! The sheer, unmitigated audacity!
’He’s wanted all over the city, yet he dares to show his face so brazenly in front of everyone. Does he really think he’s invincible?!’
What they didn’t know was that in his previous life, as the most wanted criminal on Blue Star, there was no act of madness Zhao Xuanqi hadn’t committed.
He had infiltrated the world’s strongest rcenary corps to battle and kill Salaman, the man known as "Hell Breath," the King of Soldiers.
He had infiltrated the Eagle Nation’s maximum-security Triangle Prison to execute the forr world boxing champion, the cannibalistic "Ogre" Billson.
He had infiltrated the Eagle Nation’s special intelligence agency’s secret base in Newlight to assassinate the decorated Major General Mills, a man hailed as the "Wings of Freedom."
He had infiltrated the headquarters of the world’s largest dark web organization, "Black Wings," to eliminate the world’s previous most-wanted criminal, "White Dove" Siia.
...
Nearly half of the top ten on Blue Star’s Individual Threat Index had died at his hands.
Compared to these individuals and the powers they commanded, what was the insignificant Yuehai Martial Arts Association? How could it even be considered a den of dragons and tigers?!
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xuanqi had shaken off the powerful impact of his landing. He arched his body, bent his knees slightly, and slowly spread his arms. For all their thickness, his arms moved as gently as unfurling wings.
As his arms spread, an aura of extre and terrifying danger washed over the four n on the stage, grating on their nerves. Their bodies began to tremble instinctively.
However, these four n were all over fifty-five years old on average. Their bodies were aging, and even in their youth, their skills hadn’t been considered top-tier among the Four Great Sects. But at the very least, they had all reached the realm of Inner Cultivation. By forcing their breath, they could still summon their peak Physical Ability for a short ti!
’If we can just stall him for a mont, he’ll be trapped!’
All four n were clear-headed. They imdiately triggered a Qi Surge, using their Breathing Techniques to activate their internal organs and instantly deploying the Secret Techniques passed down by the Four Great Sects.
At this mont, their power was even greater than that of the Taihe Tiger Form Fist masters!
Furthermore, the four n imdiately spread out, taking up a combined assault formation!
It was at that exact mont that Zhao Xuanqi moved.
SWISH!!
He shot forward in an instant, his outstretched arms cutting through the air to reduce wind resistance. Spurred by his intense killing intent and ferocious will, the Fierce and Xiang Piles rged completely.
Neither bird nor beast, it existed only in myth.
One of the Four Fiends.
Qiongqi!!
ROAR!!
The howl of displaced air sounded like the roar of a colossal beast. The imnse pressure slamd into the four n’s very spirits. It was as if their attacker had truly transford into a terrifying Fierce Beast of mythical proportions, one that was opening its gaping, blood-stained maw to devour them.
Before this behemoth, they were as insignificant as ants.
’Unbeatable! We’re no match for him!’
A profound sense of powerlessness washed over the four n. The morale and courage they had struggled to summon monts ago evaporated, leaving their Spirits in a state of stunned terror.
The terrifying burst of power from the fused Pile Skill, the overwhelming aura born from a stimulated Spirit.
This was the very essence of the Qiongqi style!
Not even Zhou Lie’s Mountain and River True Spirit Palm—a profound Secret Technique that elevated one’s own Spirit to the level of a god, connected with the Earth Veins, and bordered on a Superpower—could withstand the spiritual impact of the Qiongqi’s montum. His Secret Technique had been shattered instantly!
These four n were old. They had spent years wallowing in petty sches, imrsed in the treachery and deceit of the Jianghu. Though their Physical Ability remained, how could their willpower and morale compare to even a tenth of Zhou Lie’s when he unleashed his Secret Technique?
When the spirit is cowed, the fist grows weak!
Fast! He was impossibly fast!
Moving like a tiger that had sprouted wings, Zhao Xuanqi was before the four n in an instant. His first target was the one in the lead: the elder from the Mountain and River Sect, Lu Wenshui!
His Tiger Palm swept through the air, churning the currents with such force it seed as if the very void would be torn asunder.
Lu Wenshui hastily threw up his arms to block his chest, and Zhao Xuanqi’s strike landed squarely!
However, his block and defense were utterly useless!
The terrifying Force passed straight through his arms, straight through his entire chest!
BANG!!
The clothing on his chest exploded outward as his chest was blasted into a pulp, caving inward deeply. But that wasn’t all. Under Zhao Xuanqi’s control, the terrifying Force passed through his body, using his corpse as a projectile to slam into the Radiant Star Sect elder behind him!
The Radiant Star Sect’s Secret Transmission focused on ultimate offense and speed, emphasizing Breaking Extre in the arms and legs, which left the chest’s defenses relatively weak. The Force pierced through the elder. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward along with Lu Wenshui, collapsing to the ground, unmoving.
Two birds with one stone!
Seeing this, the elders from the Dragon Ming Sect and Sha Blade Sect were chilled to the bone. Their courage, which had already been half-devoured by the Qiongqi’s aura, now vanished completely as overwhelming fear consud their hearts.
Spurred by the terror of imminent death, they made the worst possible choice.
They turned to flee.
But how could they possibly escape from Zhao Xuanqi’s grasp?
THUD! THUD!
Zhao Xuanqi closed the distance in a flash, his massive hands clamping down on their necks. His arms, as thick as an ape’s, now moved with the suppleness of a whip.
With a sudden Force Release, he slamd their bodies into each other!
BAM!!
CRACK!!
The sickening thud of flesh colliding was accompanied by a nauseating crack of bone. Blood instantly poured from both n’s eyes, ears, noses, and mouths.
Zhao Xuanqi tossed their bodies into the air and unleashed another Force Release with both palms!
Uprooting Mountains and Overturning Seas!
BOOM!!
The two n’s bodies were sent flying like rag dolls, their backs completely caved in. Blood stread from their mouths and noses; they were already dead.
From the mont Zhao Xuanqi landed, a re five seconds had passed.
In fact, most of the crowd had yet to recover from the initial shock. Or perhaps it was that so of the Martial Artists had recovered, but were so stunned by Zhao Xuanqi’s terrifying brutality that they didn’t dare make a move!
The entire hall was plunged into a deathly silence!
